Black dark clouds hover in the sky, the sky was dark, and the raindrops falling from the sky rolled across the vast earth in the sound of the roaring wind.

Chang'an!

This place that makes people dream of, this prosperous place that people yearn for, is no longer the noise of the past.

Zhuque Street is the north-south main line of the Tang Chang'an City. This street, which is more than 5,000 meters long, divides the Tang Chang'an City into two parts: east-west and west. This is the only avenue to enter the inner city of Chang'an. In the past, envoys and merchants from many countries around the world had to pass through Mingde Gate to enter Chang'an City.

On the Zhuque Street where people are crowded, you can see that most of them are blonde and blue-eyed people.

But today, there are only a few people on Zhuque Street. These pedestrians bowed their heads and walked quickly without any prosperous scene.

In the dark clouds in the sky, there were low thunder sounds from time to time, and the rain between heaven and earth gradually became heavier.

There was no one in the already desolate long street...

The earth is solemn, and there is a wine shop at the end of Zhuque Street.

The shopkeeper's surname is Yu, a middle-aged man in his early forties, is worth a lot of money to open a shop next to Zhuque Street in Chang'an.

But at this moment, Manager Yu was sitting behind the counter in his shop, listening to the shrill sound of wind and rain outside the house intently, frowned slightly, and sighed softly. In such bad weather, I think there will be no more customers coming.

Chang'an is rich and has a very rich private life.

Opening a tavern in Chang'an is not only a lot of money, but also a lot of food and clothing.

However, since Li Yi, the Prince of Xin'an, was defeated and died, the rebels were in an unstoppable state and captured important places in Hebei in one breath. The court sent Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, the third-rank Wang Shi, the Minister of War, and Du Xian, the third-rank of the Secretary of the Secretariat, to fight against the enemy, but they also suffered consecutive defeats. Now Chang'an is in a panic, and all kinds of rumors are emerging one after another. There are even saying that the rebels are about to approach the city soon.

Now people in Chang'an are in panic, and there are many people preparing to flee. How can anyone have the time to drink in the wine shop?

Manager Yu's business is getting colder, and today he has not even completed a single order business.

The commercial tax and housing tax in Chang'an are not low. If you spend so much money, you will go bankrupt.

"Damn God, change at will! Zimei doesn't consider how many days to go?"

"No, my mother wrote that they had already set out to travel south to take refuge. The Central Plains are now extremely chaotic, so I can't rest assured."

When Manager Yu was drowsy, a group of people came to the hall.

They are very disagreeable in their ages, but they are particularly friendly to each other.

Manager Yu was shocked and looked up at the guest. He was an old acquaintance and said loudly: "Shangshu He is here, and the brilliance is shining. Please, please, please!"

Shangshu He waved his hand and said, "It's no longer Shangshu He, so the shopkeeper doesn't have to be too polite."

Of course, He Zhizhang is He Zhizhang. With Pei Min's relationship, no one dared to touch He Zhizhang in the slightest.

However, after the previous assassination, He Zhizhang's health was not as good as before. Now that the evil in the temple is in trouble, he can't stand it, so he retired and resigned from office.

He Zhizhang likes wine as his life, and never has the airs of an official position. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a peddler, he can become his drinkers. All the shopkeepers of Chang'an recognize him as such.

He Zhizhang pointed to the young man beside him and said, "I want to practice it for this friend. The shopkeeper quickly serves the wine and food."

There were no customers in the store, and the food and drinks were very fast.

The young people who practice it are naturally the protagonist at the wine table.

The young man is Du Fu and Du Zimei, who are emerging in Chang'an.

Du Fu was attracted by Pei Min, and He Zhizhang also had a heart to communicate with each other.

This is the one that is close to the red and the one that is close to the ink.

When Du Fu and He Zhizhang interacted with people like him, his talents in poetry were discovered and his reputation gradually became apparent.

However, Du Fu was originally from Xiangyang, Hubei and later moved to Gongxian, Henan. Now the rebels crossed the Yellow River, and the soldiers captured Luoyang, pointing their swords at Chang'an. In order to take refuge, Du Fu's family returned to their hometown in Xiangyang and sent a letter to ask them to go there before.

Du Fu was concerned about his mother, so he decided to go to Xiangyang to meet with his mother.

Although Du Fu was young, his mind was showing his concern for the country and the people. This was obviously his practice of drinking, but he still couldn't help but talk about state affairs: "Ho Gong, what's the situation now? Chang'an rumors are endless and people are panic. It's hard to imagine that our dynasty is obviously intimidating the four barbarians. Why did it take a sharp turn for the past few years? Is it really because of the saint?"

He didn't finish his words.

But everyone present understands the meaning.

There is one of the thousands of messages that is particularly harsh, which is not how powerful the rebels are, but that it directly points out that "the sage does not cultivate virtue" has led to this situation. Many things are vivid and vivid.

Although He Zhizhang abandoned his official position at home, there were still many old officials and disciples around him who served as officials in the temple.

He Zhizhang also knows a lot about the details. He Zhizhang called himself Siming Crazy Guest and had his own crazy character. The Tang Dynasty was open and even the people in the grass could talk about the affairs of the temple.

He Zhizhang was in the officialdom and spoke without any restraint, saying, "I don't know what to say about this matter. Alas, I can only say that a good game of chess has become a bad game. I don't know how powerful the rebels are, but how much strength the court has is obvious to all. The Prince of Xin'an killed the eldest son of the bandit as soon as he made a move. Wang Xiang was ordered to go to the battle, won the first battle, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and blocked the bandits on the north bank of the Yellow River."

"What's the result? Your Majesty believed in slander and suspected that the Prince of Xin'an had a rebellious intention and forced him to go out to fight. The situation of victory was ruined... As for Wang Xiang, this matter was even more annoying. Wang Xiang was well-versed in military strategy. He recruited soldiers in Luoyang and formed 80,000 troops to block the rebels north of the Yellow River, making it difficult for the rebels to advance. I have a friend named Li Mi, who was not old, but he was determined. He asked me to analyze the pros and cons before, and asked me to persuade Wang Xiang to give up the Yellow River barrier and retreat to Luoyang to protect the Eastern Capital. He said that the reason why the rebels could sweep the north was to take advantage of the great defeat of Xin'an County to make a big move. As long as they blocked them a few more times, their attacks would be defeated."

Du Fu exclaimed: "However, Li Mi knew in advance that the Yellow River would be frozen?"

The reason for Wang Shi's defeat in the war has been spread to Chang'an, because the Yellow River is frozen, and the rebels directly crossed the Yellow River chasm from the river, resulting in the Tang army's defeat.

He Zhizhang drank a sip of wine and said indignantly: "That's true, I introduced Li Mi to Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang was shocked and planned to give up the Yellow River barrier and retreat to Luoyang. As a result, the eunuch was wronged by the country. Niu Xiantong, the eunuch, was a military supervisor, and actually made trouble, saying that the Yellow River barrier could be defended, and there was no need to give up. Who doesn't know that these eunuchs made money everywhere and bought large areas of fields near Chang'an and Luoyang. They were unwilling to receive damage from the rebels... It's hateful that this result directly led to the fall of Dongdu..."

Du Fu was so angry that he cursed.
