Chapter 826: Monarchs and Ministers Are Ghosts
"Disaster is coming...... Could it be that the Tang soldiers have entered the city?"
After An Qingxu muttered to himself, his hands and feet were at a loss, with a collar of gauze robes exposing his chest and abdomen, his hair was scattered, and he looked like a madman.
"Quick, hurry up and prepare a horse for me, I want to go to Hebei, go to Hebei......"
Looking at such a Son of Heaven, Da Xixun, who was following An Shouzhong is behind, couldn't help but sigh secretly, how can the so-called Great Yan of such a national army not die? As soon as he thought of this, the idea of returning to Tang became a little heavier anyway, and since then, the hesitation and entanglement have been swept away, and he has only been focused on atonement for his sins in the future, and even making meritorious contributions to make more bargaining chips.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, An Xianggong has only said half of what he said, Tang Bing didn't enter the city, so we don't need to go to Hebei......"
"Didn't you enter the city?
An Qingxu seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, almost waiting for An Shouzhong with an angry gaze, but he also knew that the plan to defend the city depended on this person, so naturally he couldn't scold others casually. Rao is like this, which also expresses his strong dissatisfaction and anger.
An Shou Zhong Dao is calm.
"Although Tang Bing did not enter the city, if it is delayed, someone will open the city gate and let them in. ”
Da Xixun seemed to be blessed to the soul, and immediately took over An Shouzhong's words.
"An Xianggong exaggerated again, the city gate has long been built to death, even if someone has bad intentions, how can they open it?"
This is indeed the truth, An Shouzhong ordered all the gates in Luoyang City to be built with bricks and stones on the first day after taking power, and later when he went out of the city to aid the Luoluo River, he once opened a city gate, but as soon as the war ended, he immediately built it back. Therefore, someone took advantage of the chaos to open the city, and this kind of thing could not have happened in Luoyang at this time.
An Shouzhong seemed to have come back to his senses, tilted his head to look at Da Xixun, and said in his heart that this guy is timid and afraid, and he has always only looked at his own horse, why is he talking so much today? And every sentence is nailed to his own shortcomings, and he can't bargain with An Qingxu if he goes on like this.
An Qingxu was very satisfied with Da Xixun's performance, nodded again and again, sat down loosely, and raised his hand to the couch in front of him.
"Two Aiqing, let's take a seat and talk!"
An Shouzhong thanked him and sat down, and said bluntly:
"The Shenwu army threw tens of thousands of pieces of paper in the city, and the rumors confuse the public, if they are not collected and destroyed, once they are allowed to develop and ferment, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Throwing paper, tens of thousands?"
An Qingxu asked in disbelief, he really couldn't figure it out, could a few pieces of paper sprinkled into the city help break the city?
"This Qin Jin seems to be a person with a difficult reputation, even if Taishang Laojun personally drew tens of thousands of rune papers for him, he would not want to break the city without blood!"
The words were conclusive, and the demeanor was rigid, and the bird that was terrified before was like two people.
Da Xixun echoed in a timely manner:
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
An Shouzhong is already very dissatisfied with Da Xixun, but this is the emperor after all, and he has to endure no matter how dissatisfied he is, but his face is already ugly, and his voice is not good.
"The old minister only said one thing, Luoyang has been the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, and Dayan has only been a few years since the founding of the country, where are the people's hearts, isn't Your Majesty worried?"
An Qingxu refuted dissatisfiedly:
"Use these clichés to fool me again! What public opinion, no mandate of heaven, is as real as a strong army! The first emperor raised troops from Fanyang, and it only took a month to conquer Luoyang, but can you tell me, do you rely on public opinion or rely on the mandate of heaven?"
An Shouzhong is not a person who is good at eloquent words, and he was a little speechless when An Qingxu asked him like this, and then replied heavily:
"Of course it's the Mandate of Heaven, if there is no Mandate of Heaven, why did the first emperor go to Luoyang in January?"
Da Xixun felt that it was time for him to come out and be a peacemaker, and he couldn't always speak against An Shouzhong, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that this guy would not seek revenge afterwards.
"The minister thinks that An Xianggong's words are reasonable, my Dayan goes to Luoyang in January, it is indeed the destiny of heaven, since the mandate of heaven is in my Dayan, the current situation will definitely be turned into a disaster, and Your Majesty can rest in peace......"
An Shouzhong felt a little blocked in his chest for the first time, why didn't anything go well today!
"In short, it is Tang Bing's attempt to disturb the hearts of our army and the people, and I ask Your Majesty to further purge the suspects!"
Da Xixun's eyebrows couldn't help but beat wildly, and he said in his heart, this old thief is going to take the opportunity to kill again, won't he stop if he doesn't kill all the opponents?
Come to think of it, Da Xixun would never be stupid enough to ask these things.
But he was also very glad that he was in the list of war criminals of forty-nine people, otherwise An Shouzhong might have used this as an excuse to make a big fuss.
As soon as he thought of this, An Shouzhong took out the directory printed on straw paper and presented it to An Qingxu.
An Qingxu didn't know much and had a hard time reading, so An Shouzhong had to read it to him word by word. Hearing that he was listed as the first of the list of forty-nine war criminals, An Qingxu's face immediately turned red, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be listed on the same list as my courtiers?"
Hearing this, Da Xixun couldn't laugh out loud.
Could it be that Qin Jin gave him a separate list, and there was only one name An Qingxu on it, which was satisfactory?
An Shouzhong simply ignored An Qingxu's short-sightedness and directly expressed his concerns.
"The crux of the matter is that Qin Jin promised that people outside the list would not be held accountable, and it was even possible that they would be compensated for meritorious service, so whether these people outside the list would have different intentions, and when they would have different hearts, these are all unknown!"
"And so many questions?"
An Qingxu is not a completely unreasonable person, and when he heard An Shouzhong's words, he was secretly worried.
"Since this is the case, according to An Qing's suggestion, the scope can be expanded!"
Expanding the scope of the purge is the best means of consolidating authority in An Shouzhong's view, and only by killing all those who oppose it cleanly will there be no one in the army who will hinder him in many ways.
For the repeated constraints in the army, An Shouzhong gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned it, but this is also a helpless thing, the generals and colonels in the army are either Yan Zhuang's cronies or Yin Ziqi's old department, and they are taking advantage of the danger of these two people to seize power, and it is reasonable for those people to be restrained.
However, An Shouzhong never thought about buying people's hearts, but if there are opponents, kill them cleanly, and if they kill too much, no one will dare to oppose them.
Seeing An Qingxu compromise with An Shouzhong, Da Xixun was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but many things could not be controlled by himself, and more often than not, he could only go with the flow. The idea was really undecided, and he thought about going back in the evening to consult his wife Cui.
However, the Shenwu Army did not plan to let the monarch and the ministers be stable, and as soon as the war drums sounded again at noon, the Tang soldiers rushed towards the Luoyang city wall like ants, and the stone cannons no longer threw the names of those war criminals, but instead fired fireballs, and the seemingly calm situation rose sharply. The Yan soldiers didn't even have the time to catch their breath, so they immediately plunged into the fierce defense of the city.
The sound of war drums made Da Xixun upset, An Qingxu grabbed him and stayed with him, accompanying this obedient and moody son of heaven, it was really like sitting on pins and needles.
He was eager to leave immediately, but he could only pretend to be in high spirits and gossip with him.
In the past, An Qingxu that Da Xixun knew was through the mouths of others, and he said everything, but after really contacting him, he found that this person was a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and he had no outstanding qualities, and he was able to inherit the unification because of An Qingzong's relationship as a hostage in Chang'an, otherwise it would not be this person's turn anyway.
Once the thought arises, it is not easy to suppress it, he suddenly remembered Qin Jin's words when he was in the Tang camp, An Lushan's body had obvious knife wounds, which were obviously hacked to death with a knife, and the time of death inferred by the degree of decay was far longer than the days when the coffin was parked.
Da Xixun peeked at An Qingxu uneasily, but saw that this son of heaven was still disheveled, with an open chest and exposed body, it was really unimaginable that the person who killed his father and usurped the throne would not be punished.
Speaking of the word retribution, Da Xixun suddenly had a sudden sense of enlightenment. For more than a month, I can always hear rumors from the eunuch palace that An Qingxu will have nightmares every night, and he doesn't dare to sleep when the sun is not on three poles, is it because he is a thief?
Thinking of this, Da Xixun's forehead was a little sweaty. It wasn't that he didn't know this before, and it stands to reason that he should have figured it out a long time ago, but he was just too terrifying and instinctively avoided. I don't know what's wrong today, but I dare to slander in front of An Qingxu, the son of Dayan.
"Da Xiqing, listening to the drums outside, are you scared of even writing?"
An Qingxu suddenly asked, Da Xixun instinctively wanted to deny it, but his neck seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't twist for a long time.
In this regard, An Qingxu actually laughed.
"Da Xiqing is really lovely, since ancient times, he has not dared to admit that he is afraid in front of the Son of Heaven......"
was embarrassed by laughter, Da Xixun's intestines were about to repent, and he only hated himself for his slow reaction and did not deny it in time.
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
An Qingxu laughed and was angry, and it took his right hand to pinch his waist for a long time before returning to normal.
"Da Xiqing, don't be sad, I'm not making fun of you, on the contrary, I'm very relieved, you didn't tell a lie in front of me, and you can live up to my trust in you!"
Such a strange reason is probably the first time in history. If this happened to someone else, Da Xixun also wanted to laugh heartily, but unfortunately, he was indeed the protagonist of the story, and he slightly looked sideways and saw that the eunuch palace people standing next to him all lowered their heads, and seemed to be holding back their laughter.
Da Xixun is even more regretful, today's behavior gaffe will soon be spread, and it won't be long before everyone knows how bad his reputation will be!
Without warning, An Qingxu's voice suddenly became cold.
"I suspect that there are Tang Dynasty spies around me......"
Da Xixun's heart was shocked, was it because of this that he agreed to An Shouzhong's suggestion to expand the scope of purging and killing?
