The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

The mutiny of the Zuo Tunwei Army was headed by a general named Duan Ying.These days, Duan Ying has been leading 300 people to block the opening of Longshou Canal. This afternoon, a new group of people blocked the breach before they returned to the camp.After working for days, these 300 people were so tired that they couldn't look like adults. They didn't want to be served with moldy rice for dinner. Duan Ying took a bite, spit it out, threw the bowl on the ground, and scolded her mother. .

At this moment, a soldier suddenly covered his stomach, showing pain on his face, and yelled, "It hurts me to death!"

Then someone from another tent was clamoring again: "Eating dead people, eating dead people."

After inquiring, it turned out that a brother from Zuo Shao died suddenly after eating moldy rice for three consecutive days.When Duan Ying heard this, she was so angry that she led a dozen soldiers to surround the cook and was about to beat him.

The cook quickly excused himself and said loudly: "Don't rely on me about this matter, look over there, it's all things that have been soaked in water."

Duan Ying opened a bag of rice, grabbed a handful and smelled it, and sure enough, it was all moldy rice. She threw it on the ground and cursed: "Grandma, a soldier eats food, a soldier eats food, I don't even have to eat any food. How about being a soldier?"

As he spoke, he drew his waist knife and walked towards the big tent, followed by a large group of soldiers.This group of people yelled all the way and surrounded the big tent of the Chinese army.At this time, Wu Qing, the commander of the Zuo Tunwei Army, happened to take the soldiers who were in rotation to repair the canal to the construction site of Longshou Canal. Duan Ying and others took out their anger on two of Wu Qing's staff and beat them up.More and more people gathered, and people from all battalions came. Only then did everyone know that seven people had been eaten to death.

At this moment, the soldiers burst into anger, Duan Ying waved the knife in her hand and incited: "Brothers, they gave us moldy rice and killed so many people, they don't treat us as human beings, let's fight them , vent your anger!"

After finishing speaking, Duan Ying was the first one to walk towards the camp gate, followed by many emotional soldiers, most of them didn't know who Duan Ying was going to fight with, they thought they were just going to the Ministry of War or something. Where there is something wrong, go to Shangfeng to reason, and many spectators join in along the way.

The heavy wooden fence gate was pushed open, and it was almost dark at this time, the soldiers walking in front lit torches, and just as they were about to rush out of the camp gate, several fast horses rushed over, and the leader shouted: "Give them all!" I stop!"

The chaotic soldiers stopped when they heard the words, it was none other than their immediate superior Wu Qing who came.

Wu Qing pointed at the crowd with a horsewhip and scolded: "You are the imperial guards, guarding the capital, how can you make a mess first? Go back to the camp!"

Duan Ying said viciously: "Why did you mess up first? I have to ask you! Why did the imperial court give everyone food that even animals don't eat? Do you know that seven people have already died, and we don't want to be the eighth?" !"

Wu Qing glared at Duan Ying, and said angrily, "Bold, are you talking to Shangfeng?"

Duan Ying sneered and said, "Shangfeng? Who is Shangfeng in the Zuotunwei barracks now? These thousands of angry soldiers are Shangfeng. Brothers respect you as a hero on the battlefield. I don't want to make trouble with you. Get out of the way, otherwise, don't blame us for not being sympathetic."

Wu Qing refused to give an inch, laying in the middle of the road like a nail, Duan Ying roared hysterically: "Wu Qing, no one here knows that our Zuo Tunwei Army is the former Ministry of Prince Yin, so we are not treated well , if you really remember your origin, take your brothers to seek justice, if not, then don’t blame us for being rude, brothers, come on!”

Instigated by Duan Ying, the soldiers held their swords and spears and advanced slowly. Wu Qing pulled out his sword violently and stabbed the two of them. The soldiers showed fear on their faces and began to retreat in fear.

Duan Ying reached out and grabbed a handful of blood from a dead body, shaking a bloody hand and said to the soldiers behind her, "Did you see it? This is blood! Two more lives, there is no way out anyway." , let's fight him!"

All the soldiers rushed forward, slashing at Wu Qing with their knives.

Wu Qing fought hard, stabbing countless people in succession, and the continuously falling corpses aroused the hatred of the soldiers, and they finally surrounded Wu Qing with shouts.Dozens of spears pierced his body at the same time.

Wu Qing's death caused a commotion among the rebellious soldiers. A timid little schoolboy said, "Let's run away quickly, the Holy Majesty will send someone here later."

Duan Ying brandished her knife and shouted: "Escape? Where are you going? Wu Qing is dead, beheading the commander is a capital offense. Now that we have reached this point, there is nothing to think about. Brothers, let's go back and kill him." Go to the palace, where there are gold and silver treasures and women, at least you can have a good time!"

An old soldier said: "General, there are sixteen guards in the imperial guards in Chang'an City. How can our guards defeat so many people?"

Duan Ying said: "Most of the imperial guards in the city are training in Beiyuan, and there are only a thousand guards in the palace. As long as we act quickly, we can enter the palace before the people from Beiyuan return to the city, and do what we need to do." After all, if you can support a new king, you can also worship generals and make marquises!"

Before Duan Ying finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the soldiers around her stopped. Looking up, it was Li Chengqian leading Henglian and some guards from the East Palace standing in front of the camp gate, looking at her. Henglian was thinking He brought all the six guards of the East Palace, but Li Chengqian was worried about the safety of the palace, so he only brought a dozen or so guards. If you can suppress this mutiny bomb, if you can't, you will die if you die.

When two generals saw Li Chengqian's arrival, their legs softened and they knelt down. Then the people behind Duan Ying knelt down, and Duan Ying's legs softened and almost knelt down. He is the crown prince of a country, and his identity is there, but he suddenly woke up and stood up straight, sneering and saying: "Prince, you dare to bring these people to my Zuo Tunwei Army?"

Li Chengqian was about to speak, but he heard a voice behind him: "Presumptuous! Is the Zuo Tunwei Army yours? Huh, the tone is not small, the Zuo Tun Guard Army is not someone, it is the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty military!"

Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian was overjoyed. Looking back, he saw that it was indeed Du Rui who had arrived. Behind Du Rui was Princess Ankang, and the two brothers Du Pingyuan were closely guarding them.

"Chengming! I~~~~~"

Du Rui said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's just a few clowns making trouble, it won't cause any big trouble!"

When Li Chengqian saw Du Rui arrived, he felt a little more confident for no reason, and he was also full of pride: "Soldiers! You are all the imperial guards of my Tang Dynasty, and your duty is to protect the country of my Tang Dynasty. Now even you are making trouble There is a mess, how decent is this!"

Duan Ying responded loudly: "It's nice to say, did the emperor regard us as the imperial guards of the Tang Dynasty? After so many years, the emperor never forgot that we are the old prince's old department, and today he poisoned seven of us to death. Personally, this clearly means not treating us as human beings!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian reprimanded sharply: "You are so bold, do you know who you are talking to? How did this food eat dead people? The court will find out the reason. As for my father, I have not forgotten that you are Prince Yin’s old department, hmph, these words have ulterior motives! Count yourself, how many generals have I promoted from the Zuo Tunwei Army in these years? Now the imperial guards in this palace are all going to Beiyuan to practice, my father The emperor left your Zuo Tunwei Army to guard the capital, if you have a grudge in your heart, would you do this?"

Li Chengqian's words made the lieutenants behind Duan Ying nod their heads together, with expressions of regret on their faces.

Seeing this, Duan Ying panicked, waved the long knife in her hand and shouted: "Don't listen to his bewitching! Brothers, there is no turning back when you open the bow. Wu Qing died in our hands. If you go back, can they Spare us?"

As he spoke, he swung his knife and rushed forward, with several henchmen following behind.

Li Chengqian panicked when he saw this, and Du Rui shouted loudly: "You are so brave! Do you want to try the sword edge of His Highness the Prince?"

Li Chengqian also came back to his senses, quickly pulled out his sword and threw it back and forth on the ground. The sword sank into the ground with a "dang". I won’t stop you! Now, Gu will presumptuously announce an order, the first person from the Zuotun Guards to cross this sword tonight, everyone will be punished, and the one who punishes him will sing my father’s emperor and make him a Marquis if he is alone!”

The front of the camp gate suddenly became quiet, so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, the rebels looked at each other, Duan Ying showed a trace of fear on his face, he tentatively took a step forward with the knife in hand, and countless gazes shot at him, He stepped back involuntarily, and all the soldiers were panicked, and they also stepped back a few steps in unison!Their psychological defense collapsed in an instant, and at this moment someone yelled: "Forget it, go back to the camp!" The mutinous soldiers retreated like a tide.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian wiped off his sweat. Although it was only a short moment just now, only a few of them know the danger involved. The few of them may have become meat sauce at this time.

"Chengming! I'm going to trouble you again this time!" Li Chengqian bowed to Du Rui gratefully.

Du Rui hurriedly dodged sideways, and said with a smile: "What did your highness say? Since your highness regards you as a close friend, shouldn't it be right for friends to help you? Besides, Du Rui is also a citizen of Tang Dynasty, so naturally I don't want to see any more troubles Already!"

Li Chengqian said: "Chengming! What should we do now!"

Du Rui thought for a while and said: "Although the Zuo Tunwei Army has retreated, it is only for a while. At this time, we should quickly send someone to report to the Holy Majesty, and immediately call the Imperial Army back to the city to defend the capital. His Highness personally sits in the town to frighten Xiao Xiao, thinking that it is a surefire strategy!"

Although Li Chengqian was afraid in his heart, he was willing to go all out at this time, saying: "I caused this incident alone. I am dead now, so why not be afraid, so Yi Chengming went to the Zuo Tunwei Army .”

Heng Lian also served in the Zuo Tunwei Army back then, and there were several generals who were familiar with him in the army. He summoned those people to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian arranged for them to stabilize the troops so that there would be no further accidents.

There were not many people who really wanted to make trouble in this mutiny, many people just wanted to ask the court for an explanation out of righteous indignation, more people even just wanted to watch the excitement, and now the crown prince has come in person , the situation has become one-sided, who is willing to be the first bird, and soon the battalions will calm down.
