This is the second time An Lushan has walked into the imperial city, compared to the first time he was apprehensive, he seemed a little comfortable at this moment, raising his eyes to look at the joy in the palace, his eyes showed envy, yearning and a trace of imperceptible ...... Ambition.

"Ambassador An, please, the Holy One has ordered our family to prepare a soup bath. Sun Desheng led An Lushan to a side hall and said with a smile.

"There is Father-in-law Lao!"

Although the soup pool was good, An Lushan did not stay, and after hurriedly washing away the dust, he changed into his regular clothes and followed Sun Desheng into the main hall.

The singing and dancing in the hall had already begun, and An Lushan bowed down and stepped on small steps with Sun Desheng to the top of the right head and sat down.

An Lushan raised his head cautiously and looked at the opposite side, only to see a man with a long beard looking at him with interest.

An Lushan has never seen Li Linfu, he has taken the path of Jiwen before, and he has never participated in the court meeting, and he is only famous for this powerful prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he has never really seen it.

However, there were only two courtiers here, and the other party sat in a more honorable position than himself, thinking that he was a big man, in line with the habit of prudence, An Lushan smiled at him and nodded.

For this general, Li Linfu is also the first time to see, and today on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Holy Lord summoned this person naturally not as simple as inviting guests to dinner.

With such thoughts, Li Linfu's gaze at An Lushan also had a hint of prudence.

An Lushan seemed to notice this, and his heart sank, and his behavior became more and more cautious.

Fortunately, the singing and dancing have ended, and the dancing girl door came out, Li Longji lifted the wine that Yang Yuhuan poured for him, and said to An Lushan with a smile: "Aiqing has worked hard all the way, come, drink this cup!"

An Lushan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and poured it down.

It was like a flame entering the throat, and the mouth was hot, and the wine naturally did not dare to spit it out, so he swallowed it forcibly, and his face was red.

"Good wine!" Rao is An Lushan has drunk all the fine wine in the world, and he has never had such a pleasure.

"Haha! Aiqing really has a good amount of wine, it's me, and I suffered a big loss when I first drank this wine!"

Saying that, Li Longji asked people to pour wine for An Lushan again, but An Lushan covered the cup with his hand and shook his head again and again.

"Aiqing, why is this?" Li Longji looked at An Lushan.

An Lushan replied sincerely with a trace of regret and sincerity: "Back to Your Majesty, such a fine wine is not easy to come by, and it is a great honor for Weichen to have a cup of Xinde, how dare you ask for more?"

When Li Longji heard this, he smiled with relief: "Haha, Aiqing doesn't need to worry too much, although this wine is rare, but I can't neglect the meritorious heroes!

An Lushan nodded again and again when he heard this, and his face was full of emotion: "It is the duty of Weichen to worry about the king, not to mention that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, if you are used to eating this kind of wine, Weichen is afraid that he will not be able to swallow the wine next to him in the future!"

Hearing this, Li Long basically didn't like it, for no other reason, he didn't know how many times he had heard similar words over the years. He didn't know whether An Lushan was intentional or unintentional, but as the king, he was most annoyed by others, and if he said such a bad thing on an occasion like tonight, he would inevitably suffer a sin, but today in order to completely collect An Lushan's heart, Li Longji would not be angry in these subsections.

An Lushan was stunned, and was about to say more, but Li Linfu on the other side suddenly interjected: "Ambassador An doesn't know, the wine of the Holy Lord is actually from elsewhere!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

An Lushan looked at Li Linfu in a daze, and was puzzled in his heart: "This ...... Is this still Li Xiangye with a honey sword......? Why are you so brainless when you talk?"

Li Longji on the main seat was even more displeased, staring directly at Li Linfu.

Li Linfu also didn't seem to see it, and still said to himself: "In fact, this wine is a specialty of Xu Xiang's mansion, and there is only one place in the whole Tang Dynasty. ”

This finally has a sinister taste, but the level is inevitably too low.

Not only An Lushan, but also Li Longji was also looking at Li Linfu, waiting for his next step.

Sure enough, Li Linfu continued: "It's just that the saint is afraid that he doesn't know something, although this wine is only available in Xu Xiangfu, it is not produced by Xu Xiangfu, but Xu Xiang's disciples transported it from the south, if Ambassador An wants to drink this wine, he might as well ask Xu Xiang's disciples." It just so happens that they are also in the capital now!"

This is not at the level of breaking the divide, there is no trace of Li Linfu's former demeanor, but it can't be said that it is useless, at least after Li Longji heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and was silent for a moment before he said to An Lushan: "Li Xiang is right, Aiqing might as well go to Xu Xiang's mansion tomorrow to pay a New Year's greeting, and by the way, I will also have a few jars of wine to drink." ”

Li Linfu smiled when he heard this, and stopped talking.

An Lushan didn't know what Li Linfu was trying to do, he made such naked provocative words, and he also didn't understand why the contradiction between Li Linfu and Xu Fan had become so violent, and Li Linfu was so desperate.

It's just that he doesn't have the heart to remember this, after all, he hasn't been able to pass tonight's pass.

The next wine was a little stuffy, and even the festive singing and dancing became tasteless, Li Longji seemed to be angry, and the wine that he was usually reluctant to drink was drinking cup after cup at the moment.

Seeing this, Sun Desheng, who was waiting next to him, was very anxious, and finally saw a gap and was about to walk outside the hall, but he didn't know that he bumped into Gao Lishi head-on.

"Old ...... Old Ancestor!" Sun Desheng hurriedly saluted.

Gao Lishi stepped forward, grabbed Sun Desheng's arm, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What's the hurry!

"I ......"

"Just stay and watch!"

At that end, An Lushan seemed to let go of his hands and feet, drinking cup by cup, his fat face was red, and after a while, he seemed to be drunk.

Then he sobbed quietly, and gradually, the crying became louder and louder.

Li Long was basically upset, and he was even more displeased when he heard this pig-like howl, so he scolded loudly: "What a howl! After pouring two mouthfuls of cat urine, you get carried away, right?"

An Lushan was frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed like garlic, and said: "Holy forgiveness! Holy forgiveness! Weichen...... We-Chen......"

As he spoke, An Lushan's eyes turned red and he sobbed again.

"What do you look like crying!" Li Longji frowned and reprimanded: "If you have anything to say, say it directly!"

An Lushan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Don't blame the saint, Weichen...... Wechen just remembered his mother! I think when Wechen was young, his family was poor, and it was Wechen's mother who did not hesitate to work hard to make money to support Wechen, but the old mother worked too hard and died early, and now ...... Now that Wechen has made some achievements in the Holy Lord's Longen, it can ...... But the son wants to raise but his relatives are not there, it is really ...... It's really unfilial!"

After saying that, he began to cry again.

When Li Longji heard this, he felt a little relieved, and his tone was gentler: "Aiqing, don't be sad, Lingtang should smile when you see you like this." ”

"It's better to be like this!" Li Longji thought for a moment and said, "I seal the order hall for ......"

An Lushan's credit Li Longji can't be rewarded clearly, just like the officials of the prince's family can't clean up all the charges of rebellion, this time there is no conclusion on the bright side, it is an incident that has never happened, and naturally there is no merit or demerit.

But the rewards and punishments that should be there are naturally not less, and the prince and his family will wait for the New Year to come out one after another, and as for the evidence of the crime, the people who have been guarding these days have already been sent down.

And here in An Lushan, there is no reward from Ming, originally Li Longji was still thinking about how to accept his heart, but now seeing that he proposed such a stubble, Li Longji was ready to push the boat down the river to give his old mother some mourning.

It's just that he didn't expect An Lushan to interrupt him suddenly.

I saw An Lushan suddenly staring at Yang Yuhuan beside Li Longji as if he was stupid, and a pair of fish bubble eyes stared at Yang Yuhuan deadly.

Li Longji was suddenly furious and was about to attack.

An Lushan, who was kneeling below, suddenly climbed in front of Yang Yuhuan with his hands and feet, and kept kowtowing: "Mother! Mother! The child is not filial, the child is not filial!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a while.

The corners of Li Linfu's mouth twitched twice, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "So shameless, the future is limitless!"

Li Longji's heart was racing, and his heart suddenly suddenly, but he still reprimanded with a straight face: "Aiqing, why is this?"

An Lushan seemed to have sobered up a little, raised his head blankly, looked at Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, cold sweat was like rain on his forehead, and he hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "Slightly ...... Wechen ...... Holy Lord, the concubine is angry! I ...... I ......"

"Tell me clearly!"

"I ...... Wechen ...... The minister was dazzled, and he ...... I actually regarded the concubine Niangniang as the old mother of Weichen, I really damn it!

As he spoke, An Lushan moved his hands and kept fanning his mouth, and after a while, his already fat face suddenly swollen like a pig's head.

While fanning himself, he squirmed his sausage-like mouth and said indistinctly: "Minister...... Should...... Die! ...... Die!"

Li Longji looked at him coldly, but there was not much anger on his face, and he suddenly smiled and asked, "Could it be that my concubine is really a little similar to Ling Tang?"

An Lushan raised his head, secretly glanced at Yang Yuhuan, and then hurriedly lowered his head, shook his head again and again, and tried to make his words clear: "No!

"Mother-in-law...... My mother is just ...... It's just a little similar!" An Lushan said cautiously.

"Hahahaha!" Li Longji laughed: "Aiqing is honest!"

As he spoke, Li Longji turned his head to Yang Yuhuan and said: "Ai Fei, An Qing's family is full of filial piety, but now there is no high hall to serve, Yi Zhen thinks that it is better to love Concubine and recognize An Qing's family as a righteous son, right?

When Yang Yuhuan heard this, he was shocked, turned his head and glanced at the fat fat kneeling below, remembering the aggressive eyes that the other party looked at him at the beginning, and he felt disgust in his heart, but Li Longji had already spoken, and she naturally couldn't say anything if she refused, not to mention that she also knew the status of An Lushan in Li Longji's heart, thinking that it would not hurt to recognize such a godson who was older than herself, so she nodded with a smile: "Since the saint has this intention, the concubine should be lowered!"

"Haha!" Li Longji then turned his head and smiled at An Lushan: "Aiqing, why don't you hurry up and come over to meet your godmother!"

An Lushan was overjoyed when he heard this, walked forward on his knees, and bowed to Yang Yuhuan three times and said, "Weichen meets his godmother!"

"Haha, that's very good!" Li Longji laughed and said, "Then you will become a family!"

Li Linfu, who was sitting there, had been watching quietly, what about the absurdity? He was not a courtier, and those words of advice were not his turn, and he was not ready to say them, on the contrary, he raised his wine glass and congratulated: "Congratulations to the noble concubine Niangniang for getting a righteous son!"

"Haha, look! even the brother thinks it's a happy event!"

……

An Lushan recognized his godmother, he was satisfied, and the next wine was really light.

Regarding Chang'an's intelligence, he has become more and more concerned about it in the past year, especially his speculation about Li Longji has never relaxed.

This time, since receiving Li Longji's secret order, An Lushan has found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Regarding the Jiangmen family's control of the military world, as a soldier, he was deeply touched, and this time the change in Chang'an made him see Li Longji's helplessness, and naturally he also saw a great opportunity.

Wang Zhonghe, who had been supported by Li Longji and had high hopes, fell, and Li Longji urgently needed to find another spokesman for the military, otherwise he, the emperor, would not be able to sit still.

Seeing this opportunity, An Lushan, as soon as he received the secret order, rushed all the way from Fanyang with his men and horses.

It's just that I didn't expect that before I arrived in Chang'an, I heard that the accident in Chang'an had been solved, and An Lushan, who was angry in his heart, had to stop and stand by in place.

It wasn't until Sun Desheng came to deliver the decree that An Lushan ordered 5,000 cavalry to continue south, and sent the rest of the soldiers and horses back, until Wang Zhongsi and the nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses who secretly gathered in Chang'an were "escorted" across the border, and then they entered the city and entered the palace.

It's just that if you want to become Li Longji's support in the military, if you can't get the trust of the other party, it will be absolutely impossible!

That's what happened in the hall tonight.

An Lushan first used the wine to convey that he knew the trade-offs and understood the meaning of advance and retreat, and then recklessly said such a harsh sentence, in fact, it was just to give Li Longji a kind of illusion that he was straightforward and quick-witted, and he did not want to show any loyalty.

Li Longji has always liked generals, and there is an important reason why he feels that generals are simple-minded and not as scheming as Khan generals.

Now Li Longji urgently needs the allegiance of a senior general in the army, no matter what An Lushan thinks in his heart, as long as he expresses his attitude, it is enough!

What's more, An Lushan's statement was so shameless, so shameless that this person could no longer be tolerated by the rest of the court's civil and military generals.

He can only be a lonely minister, and he can only rely on his own lonely minister!

That's enough!

As for Li Linfu, it is not that he is out of level today, but that he did it on purpose.

Li Linfu naturally knew that relying on this kind of lame provocation alone would not be able to shake Xu Fan, who had just been entrusted with a heavy task by Li Longji, and would even increase his evil feelings with the emperor.

But because of this, Li Longji actually didn't really suspect that Li Linfu was framing Xu Fan, after all, compared with the previous level, this time it was really like a child.

And this kind of doubt is what Li Linfu wants!

Because he believed that Li Longji would soon know about the brawl that took place on Suzaku Street in the evening, and if the internal guards were one step slower, his people would also appear just right and pass the news on.

When Li Linfu saw Gao Lishi leaning over and leaning into Li Longji's ear, he smiled in his heart.

Sure enough, after listening to Gao Lishi's whisper, Li Longji was furious!

"It's just unreasonable! These damn killers don't take me as the emperor seriously!"

The glass fell to the ground, the bronze glass changed shape, and the sparkling liquor poured onto the precious Persian carpet.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the whole house trembled!

"Li Xiang!"

"The minister is here!"

"You are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, do you know what happened just today?" Li Longji said in a calm tone.

"I don't know!" Li Linfu just bowed slightly, and never knelt down.

"It's really infuriating!" Li Longji roared in a low voice and said coldly: "You! You go! Go and arrest all those troublemaking students!

Li Longji didn't say much, although Li Linfu knew everything, but he didn't ask much when he pretended not to know, but got up and saluted, and left in a hurry.

After Li Linfu left, Li Longji didn't have the heart to feast, and turned his head to An Lushan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I'm tired today, Aiqing go down and rest!"

"Weichen sends your majesty!"

For all this, An Lushan just watched coldly, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't plan to get involved, now that his goal has been achieved, his position has been greatly consolidated, and he doesn't plan to get involved in the ups and downs of the court, he just wants to hide in a place that others can't see and silently strengthen himself.

This is somewhat similar to Xu Chen, but the goal is very different.

After the night banquet dispersed, Li Longji did not return to Yang Yuhuan's bedroom, but led Gao Lishi and others back to the imperial study.

Hua Da, the leader of the internal guard, was already waiting here.

"Let's talk, who made the trouble this time?" Li Longji strode over to the imperial case and sat down, asking with endless boredom.

Hua Da hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the incident in the afternoon happened suddenly, and most of the manpower of the internal guard was transferred, and the ministers ......."

"That's enough, do you even want to pass the buck to me?" Li Longji was furious.

"Your Majesty should be damned!" Hua Da hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"If it is useful to punish you, I will kill you!" Li Longji said angrily.

Hua Da was frightened and kowtowed again and again.

"Okay!" Xu felt that his tone was too cold, and Li Longji said gently: "Let's go down and find out!"

"Obey the order!"

After Hua Da left, Li Longji leaned back and leaned on the couch, his face full of exhaustion.

Gao Lishi walked over, holding a warm silk scarf in his hand, and shaved Li Longji over his forehead.

"General Gao, do you think I can win these jackals?"

Gao Lishi smiled: "The talent of the Holy Heaven, how can the fireflies compete with the bright moon?"

"Haha!" Li Longji closed his eyes and smiled: "You, you know that even a talented master like Emperor Taizong can't help these people, how can I destroy them?"

"Alas...... In this world, where is the world of my Li family!"
