Luoyang, outside the Mingde Gate of the Imperial Palace, stopped a war horse in a hurry, and the guards of the Forbidden Palace immediately stepped forward to intercept it, but suddenly the person on the horse was actually the right servant of Shangshu who was more than half a hundred years old. Bayi Chinese Network ?? (a).

These soldiers all knew that the old minister Daxi was ordered to go out of the city to the Tang camp to negotiate, and later heard that he had not returned all night, and it should be more than auspicious. It is said that the Son of Heaven did not rest all night, and thundered in the palace. Now they all saw the old man suddenly appear outside the Mingde Gate, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

The palace gate guard will personally come to ask:

"The old man is back?"

But seeing that Da Xixun's face was pale, and he obviously looked a little frightened, the guard general secretly thought that this old man must have experienced unimaginable dangers last night, otherwise why would he come to such a point.

Da Xixun almost subconsciously waved his hand.

"Quick, hurry up and give birth to the Son of Heaven, there is something important to report!"

In fact, there is no need to say anything about Xi Xun at all, the master of the palace gate will already order someone to report the good news to An Qingxu, how can this kind of thing be left behind, in case one day the son of the Sacred Heart is happy because of this matter, he may go further.

"The last general has already sent someone into the palace to pass the ceremony, please enter the palace gate of Da Xi!"

Da Xixun's face seemed to have a little more blood at this time.

"Okay, General Lao opens the door!"

The palace gate guard waved his hand, only to see the heavy red lacquer gate of Mingde Gate slowly open.

Da Xixun has the privilege of riding into the palace gate, but he used to think that he was a subordinate, so he had to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and he didn't dare to use it.

Urging Ma Jia, rushing into the palace gate, all in one go. The palace gate guard looked stupid, and he couldn't imagine that this old minister, who had always been submissive and showed a weak image, was also a master of horsemanship, and he couldn't do it in one or two decades.

At this time, An Qingxu was already exhausted after tossing for most of the night, and had just fallen asleep on the couch, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall, and he couldn't help but shiver violently, jumped up from the couch, pulled out the horizontal knife under the mattress, and shouted:

"Who's wrong?"

It wasn't until he realized that it was in his own dormitory that he slowly relaxed. The pressure accumulated over the years made him not forget to be vigilant even when he was sleeping, for fear of dying in his sleep.

Sitting back on the couch, An Qingxu appeared, and the inside and outside of his shirt were already soaked with cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Daxi is back, waiting to see you outside the palace!"

An Qingxu's spirit was invigorated.

"Call this old thing in!"

Da Xixun didn't return overnight, An Qingxu even thought that this old thing had defected, so he returned his temper all night, and many gold and jade bureaus in the palace were tragically poisoned by him, and when he heard that this old thing was back, he couldn't help but vent him again.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

Da Xixun knelt on the ground, and before he finished speaking, An Qingxu scolded him with his head and face. Da Xixun was obviously accustomed to his situation, but accepted An Qingxu's curse very calmly.

After scolding for about half an hour, An Qingxu finally got tired, so he took a big sip of the cold tea soup.

"Tell me, why are you coming back now?"

Only then did Da Xixun kneel down and bow again.

"The deputy envoy of the minister suddenly wanted to assassinate Qin Jin and kill him, but he failed, and the minister was involved, so it was not easy to pick up a life and come back to revenge His Majesty!"

An Qingxu scolded angrily, but this was not to scold Da Xixun, but to the deputy envoy who was still in Tang Ying.

"Something that is not enough to achieve, and more than to fail. ”

Then he turned to ask:

"Since the matter is defeated, how can Qin Jin let you come back?"

Da Xixun cried and replied:

"The minister thought that there was a shortage of food in the Shenwu army, and Qin Jin really needed food too much, so he didn't kill the minister, but let the minister come back alive......"

"Slow, slow, do you mean to talk about the return of Emperor Daxing?"

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something to talk about. ”

An Qingxu was a little nervous and asked:

"They, how much do they ask?"

Da Xixun hesitated for a moment, but still replied truthfully:

"500,000 stones!"

Hearing this, An Qingxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hanjiacang has tens of millions of stones of grain, only 500,000 stones, no problem, Da Xiqing can reply to Qin Jin tomorrow, and 500,000 stones of grain can be delivered at any time, as long as they return the legacy of Emperor Daxing as promised. ”

Suddenly, he saw that Da Xixun seemed to be hesitant, so he asked again:

"What, do they have anything else to ask for?"

"Your Majesty's expectations are not bad, and there are indeed other requirements!"

"Tell me about it!"

An Qingxu had an ominous premonition, and Da Xixun refused to say it for a long time, which must mean that this request was very excessive, or that it was difficult for him to agree.

"Say!"

Seeing that Da Xixun was silent, An Qingxu urged dissatisfiedly.

Da Xixun sighed before replying in a low voice:

"Qin Jin personally told the minister, in addition to the 500,000 stone grain, but also, His Majesty wants to kill, kill Dr. An!"

"What does this mean?"

An Qingxu was confused.

"Could it be that Qin Jin and An Shouzhong have a grudge?"

"I don't know!"

An Qingxu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, let him hand over 500,000 stone grain to buy the reputation of a filial son, and he would not frown, but it would not be so easy to kill An Shouzhong, who was quite loyal to him. No matter how violent and cruel he is, he has to take into account the hearts of his subordinates, if he even kills the loyal An Shouzhong, then who else dares to follow him with all his heart?

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this matter was really difficult to decide, so he said to Da Xixun:

"Da Xiqing didn't return all night, the family must be in a hurry, it's better to go back first to report safety, I, I have made a decision and then summon Qing into the palace!"

At this time, Da Xixun couldn't wait to go home quickly, and An Qingxu said this, so he knelt down and left.

When Da Xixun left, An Qingxu immediately summoned Yan Zhuang into the palace, but if he didn't discuss anything with this person, he felt that it was difficult to make a decision.

Yan Zhuang also felt strange when he heard that Qin Jin had no head and no brains to kill An Shouzhong.

"Could it be that Qin Jin is afraid of Dr. An?"

"Why did Yan Qing say this? Qin Jin and Doctor An had never fought before, how could they be afraid?"

Yan Zhuang said with a sense of matter:

"The minister also heard a rumor, it is said that Qin Jin, the thief, said to the left and right in private that there was a Taoist from Zhongnan Mountain, who gave him a life, and he was destined to die at the hands of a person named 'An Shouzhong', and all the people who asked for this name were executed. When the minister heard it at the time, he only thought it was nonsense and just laughed. But now that there is such a thing, maybe, maybe it may not be false......"

"Hmm! It's not necessarily groundless to say that, and I can't hurt Dr. An easily!"

Yan Zhuang Road:

"Your Majesty, that's right!"

Subsequently, An Qingxu made another difficulty.

"But if you don't agree, how can you welcome back Emperor Daxing's widow?"

Yan Zhuang thought for a while and said:

It's easy, but it's not necessarily impossible to give more food or put forward other conditions. ’

"Well, that's the only way to do it first. ”

Yan Zhuang saw An Qingxu's worries.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, everything in this world can be done with business, you can ask for a price all over the sky, and pay back the money on the ground, since the Shenwu Army is short of food, I don't believe that they are not moved. The only thing to worry about is to fund the enemy with military rations, and Your Majesty should think twice. ”

Yan Zhuang's persuasion looked inconsistent, but An Qingxu sighed.

"Yan Qing didn't know that this was an enemy? But every night I dreamed that the old ghost was asking for my life, and shouted at me, 'Give me back', if this is not a fatal matter, where will I still have the energy to govern the country?"

An Qingxu had many ulterior motives, but Yan Zhuang had personally participated in a series of major events in dealing with An Lushan's corpse, so there was no need to hide it from him in this matter. What's more, having someone who can pour out pressure, An Qingxu also feels that it is much better than holding it in his heart alone.

"I'm afraid that the Tang soldiers will get food, and they will be like a tiger!"

Regarding Yan Zhuang's worries, An Qingxu was quite confident.

"This is Yan Qing's worry, what kind of virtue does the Tang people have, we haven't seen it. Just wait for Ashina Xianggong to lead his troops south from Fanyang, and under the attack from the north and south inside and outside of our Dayan, how can he be undefeated? At that time, even if he takes advantage of the victory to chase after Guanzhong, it may not be impossible!"

……

Da Xixun hurriedly returned to the house, he was afraid that his wife Cui would not be able to wait for him to come, so he fulfilled his promise and committed suicide.

When he saw Cui sitting at home in good condition, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Great, in time, in time!"

Choi asked:

"Why is Lang Jun so anxious?"

Da Xixun refused to confide in his thoughts, only smiled and shook his head.

"It's not a big deal, hey, aren't you surprised that your husband is back?"

At this point, Da Xixun felt that Cui's calmness was too much, and when he saw that he returned safely, even if he cried with joy, he had to have a little surprised expression.

Cui Shi said:

The concubine had long concluded that Lang Jun would return safely if he went, but only Lang Jun himself didn't believe it. ”

"I thought it was a comforting word for my husband that night, where can I take it seriously......"

Da Xixun was a little embarrassed, Cui did say that night that he would return safely, but how could he pin his safety on the woman's words?

It wasn't until it was time to go to bed at night that Da Xixun beat all the servants and maids that Cui felt that her husband seemed to have nothing to say.

"Since Lang Jun has come back safely, how can he still look like he is not giving up? Even if he continues to negotiate, the person surnamed Qin will definitely not harm Lang Jun!"

Da Xixun lowered his voice to the point that only the two of them could hear it, and said in his ear:

"Madame doesn't know, the surnamed Qin has grabbed the handle of being a husband, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, I don't know if I live or die, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it will affect Madame and the children!"

This was much beyond Cui's expectations, and the faces of the couldn't help but be pale.

"What does the surnamed Qin do to blackmail her husband?"

Cui's voice suddenly became louder, so frightened that Da Xixun quickly covered her mouth.

"Shhh

Then he told Cui what Tang Ying had experienced.
