Buried An Lushan's corpse hastily in the dormitory, Yan Zhuang left the bedroom of the Son of Heaven, intending to find An Qingxu to discuss the enthronement again, but was told by the eunuch that the King of Jin had left, and he had to leave the palace as well. When the carriage galloped on the spacious streets of Luoyang City, Yan Zhuang actually had a feeling of being separated from the world, and he never thought that An Lushan would die in the hands of his son in such a tragic way this morning.
When he returned home, Yan Zhuang thought about it, wrote a handwritten letter at the desk, and in exchange for his confidant slave to hand over the sealed letter to him, and whispered for a while before punching it out.
After the matter was over, Yan Zhuang was still restless, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the car, he wanted to rush to the Jin Palace, saying that the emperor's matter was imminent and must not be delayed.
An Qingxu didn't dare to stay in the palace, after returning to the Jin Palace, the excitement passed, and suddenly there was a collapse as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and not long after lying on the couch in his clothes, a eunuch came to report, and the prime minister solemnly asked to see him.
Yan Zhuang is the main minister of An Qingxu's collusion, and he gives him advice behind his back, so he relies on this person even more when the matter comes.
"Please, please, please!"
When Yan Zhuang put forward the suggestion that An Qingxu would ascend the throne in three days, An Qingxu was not psychologically prepared enough, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Ascending the throne so soon, if there are ministers in the court who question it, what should it do?"
The solemn tone was very resolute.
"Both the political hall and the forbidden army support His Highness, what else does His Highness have to worry about? Who dares to question, is it because he thinks his life is long?"
An Qingxu dreamed of the Son of Heaven, but when it came to the end, he looked forward and backward, Yan Zhuang saw that he was hesitant, and said:
"The ministers will draft the edict of succession overnight, and His Royal Highness should immediately contact the old ministry at this time, strictly control the various gates in Luoyang, and must not regenerate chaos. ”
"Okay, this king will listen to the old minister, but Shi Siming is there, how should he explain?"
Yan Zhuang sneered.
"It's hard to say, after His Royal Highness ascended the throne, he issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to praise him, can he still resist the edict in public? Even if others have already rebelled, they may not dare to be difficult in a short time. ”
"In this way, this king will borrow everything from the old minister!"
Yan Zhuang has been giving advice to An Lushan for many years, and he is recognized in the Luoyang Imperial Court as a figure with enough influence, with the strong support of this person, An Qingxu also feels a lot of peace of mind, and the only thing he is worried about now is that he can't suppress the arrogant generals under An Lushan in the past. Otherwise, why go to great lengths to deceive An Lushan, but also to save his life? Because as long as An Lushan does not die and still sits in Luoyang, no matter who is in power, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals will be afraid and will not dare to do anything wrong.
And those arrogant generals are not dealing with An Qingxu, especially Shi Siming, once they learn the truth that An Lushan was killed, An Qingxu is almost certain that they will not obey themselves, so ascending the throne will become the source of disaster.
On the contrary, let An Lushan still be the emperor's position, he controlled the court in the name of the king of Jin, waited to pacify the counties of the Tang Dynasty, and laid a solid foundation of power, and then there would be no more terrible people.
Now, because of the sudden change, An Qingxu feels as if he was pushed to the front of the stage by a ruthless hand, even if he wants to refuse, there is no chance to choose, there is only one path in front of him, and once he goes down, there is no turning back.
Solemn repeated persuasion and assurances gave him more and more confidence, and the initial chaos in his heart calmed down a lot. Once he made up his mind, An Qingxu intuitively felt that he had a sense of seeing the sun in front of him, and then thought that the throne he had been looking forward to day and night was about to be his turn to sit, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement and excitement.
As for what Yan Zhuang said again, An Qingxu didn't listen to it at all, only thinking about how to achieve a hegemony after ascending the throne, if he became the lord of the world, he might not be able to become the emperor of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
It was determined that he would ascend the throne three days later, and An Qingxu confirmed the status of Yan Zhuangzhong's book, and he was still the prime minister. As for the deputy prime minister of the political affairs hall, he promoted his cronies Ashina Chengqing to his subordinate squire, and the Tang Dynasty's subordinate minister Da Xixun only had a false position as the right servant of Shangshu, although he had the name of the prime minister but did not have the reality of the prime minister.
In fact, the internal affairs of the An Lushan rebel group were extremely distrustful of the Tang Dynasty's surrender of generals, and people like Ling Huchao were the only examples. In the final analysis, it is for the world to see.
And only a handful of people are really in power and can participate in decision-making.
Because the decision to ascend the throne was too hasty, all the ceremonies were simple, the prime minister solemnly read out An Lushan's Zen edict in public, and An Qingxu, the king of Jin, sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven justifiably.
For An Qingxu, it feels great to be the emperor, on the throne of Danqi, looking down on the officials who were ministers in the same dynasty in the past, this feeling of holding the power of life and death and taking it away is really wonderful.
Just when An Qingxu was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of becoming the emperor just now, Ashina Chengqing, the servant of the door, was the first to sweep his head.
"Your Majesty, General Wuwei Yin Ziqi sent a military letter last night, if Xin'an is taken back without fail, at least 50,000 horses are needed, please make a decision. ”
The fall of Xin'an made Fox Chao not know whether he was alive or dead, An Qingxu had already learned before killing An Lushan, but out of disdain for the Tang Dynasty army, he didn't take it seriously. At the beginning, Fang Xuan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, personally led an army of 100,000 to Luoyang City, but the whole army was not annihilated, and now he has sent a very strong army, can he be compared to Fang Xuan's 100,000 army of robbers?
Coupled with the preparation for the enthronement, An Qingxu temporarily put such an important military report behind him, and he didn't want Ashina Chengqing to mention this matter at the enthronement ceremony today, his face was a little unbearable.
I only heard Yan Zhuang say with some yin and yang weirdness:
'Moderate today, don't sweep away Your Majesty's interest, what's the important thing, can't you talk about it after the ceremony?'
Ashina Chengqing's sharp gaze swept towards Yan Zhuang, causing Yan Zhuang's body to tremble inexplicably.
"There is no room for delay in military affairs, please forgive your Majesty and forgive your sins!"
An Qingxu finally put away the faint unhappiness in his heart, Ashina Chengqing is his henchman after all, and even Yan Zhuang is not as good as him, and this person has always been loyal, how can he refute his face in public?
"Okay, General Aiqing has reported that I will handle military affairs in the palace today! This enthronement ceremony was originally just a passing scene, how can it compare to the important affairs of the military state?"
After several years of training, An Qingxu is no longer the reckless and stunned young man he was at the beginning, although there are still places to behave perversely, but after all, he is much more mature and sophisticated.
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests recruiting Luoyang Liangjia and filling the army to deal with the dilemma of insufficient soldiers!"
You must know that after the An Lushan rebel group went south, they were very distrustful of people who were not from Hebei, and now Ashina Chengqing actually wanted to recruit Luoyang Liangjiazi to join the army, and the hundred officials in the palace suddenly whispered.
The order in the main hall was in chaos, and Yan Zhuang coughed dissatisfiedly.
"Quiet, quiet, this is the main hall of the dynasty, who dares to be disrespectful?"
A reprimand, the voice was neither high nor low, and the officials who had been discussing it immediately stopped talking, not daring to say another word or word.
However, his next words made Ashina Chengqing feel uncomfortable from the inside out.
"If there are additional soldiers in the army, you should take Hebei Youzhou first, the southerners are cowardly, comfortable and hard-working, if these people are filled into the army, it can only make my Youyan strong soldiers weaker and weaker. ”
Deploying troops from the land of Youyan, not to mention that it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near by far water, how can the available strong men in the local area be able to withstand this kind of consumption? Besides, Shi Siming may not be willing to cooperate! But these words are not easy to say in the palace in public, Shi Siming must have eyes and ears in the court, if he finds out at this time, wouldn't he just tell him that the court does not trust him?
Ashina Chengqing decided to ignore the solemn difficulty, but directly stated to An Qingxu:
"Your Majesty, the minister has ordered Henan Yin to clean up the local household registration, as long as Your Majesty allows it, you can immediately recruit soldiers!"
"This ......"
On the one hand, An Qingxu felt that Yan Zhuang's words were reasonable, and on the other hand, he also agreed with Ashina Chengqing's compromise expedient method, recruiting strong men in Luoyang, the biggest advantage is fast. It can quickly replenish the consumption of the Yan army in Henan.
It is said that if there is a pro, there must be a disadvantage, as for how to choose the pros and cons, An Qingxu is really a little bit bad.
If Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing agreed with this method in unison, he would not have any hesitation, but now Yan Zhuang is against it, and Ashina Chengqing agrees, whose statement is more reasonable, it is difficult to judge for a while.
At this time, An Qingxu saw Da Xixun, who bowed his head and was silent, this old guy has always regarded himself as a human flesh stake, and rarely expressed his opinions in the court.
"Da Xi Xianggong, as the right servant of Shangshu, do you have a safe opinion?"
An Qingxu's tone was very calm, he had heard of this old man ten years ago, this person was by no means incompetent, he was just pretending to be deaf and dumb in everything because of his identity and situation.
Hearing the new Tianzi ask for his opinion, Da Xixun's slightly stiff body trembled suddenly.
He is really afraid of anything, he has experienced decades of ups and downs in the sea, and has extremely rich experience in officialdom struggle. The dispute between Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing is ostensibly a battle of methods, but in fact it is a contest of power between the two.
For this kind of political struggle, Mingzhe is the best choice to protect himself, Da Xixun can't hide, how can he step in again?
However, now that the Son of Heaven asks, how can he not give an answer?
"Your Majesty, as Yan Xianggong said, the cowardice of the southerners is indeed not the best choice for soldiers, and Ashina's words are also very reasonable, and it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near ...... in the distant water" (83 Chinese.83z.)
