Biography
After the fall of Tongguan, Emperor Xuanzong left Chang'an from Yanqiumen in the early morning of 13 June, 756 with his concubines, sisters, and official entourage.[1] After arriving at Mawei Station, Yang Guozhong secretly held a meeting of Golden Turtles. At the meeting, Yang Guozhong tried to shirk his responsibilities, saying that the soldiers who were secretly unhappy dared not blame the Emperor and needed someone to vent their frustrations at. Afterwards, the Golden Turtles were attacked by a group of Hidden Ones led by Li E, and most of them, including Wei Fangjin, were shot to death by arrows.[2]
