Chapter 209: Anshi's Rebellion 1
A wise man thinks that there will be a mistake, An Lushan thinks that it is enough for him to please the Tang Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, the first celebrity in front of Xuanzong. However www.biquge.info in fact, he also ignored one person, except for Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, he could ignore anyone, but he couldn't ignore this person, but An Lushan, who got carried away, ignored this person.
This person is Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty.
Li Linfu is a well-known traitor in Chinese history, ordinary people know that traitors are villains, but they don't know that being a traitor is also a difficult technical job, and it requires talent, not just any cat, dog, ruffian and hooligan can be a traitor. The sea of treachery is endless, the waves are sweeping the sand, and if you don't have any real skills, you have long been stepped on by other traitors as a stepping stone.
Li Linfu is famous for the two thousand years of Chinese traitorous history of the sword, this guy with lip gloss on his mouth and arsenic in his belly in addition to being well versed in sycophants, also has a special function, that is, he is very, very, very very and very good at figuring out people's minds, and it is a quasi, a right, a hundred tried. How powerful is it? Just a few words with you will tell you what kind of person you are, and a few glances at you will tell what you are thinking.
With these housekeeping skills, Li Linfu controlled the phase of the Tang Dynasty for nineteen years, until his death. This human right leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he did not pay attention to any of the ministers below the minister, and countless people were planted in his hands, and some even paid the price of their lives. When the living see him, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, trembling and respectful, lest he offend this ruthless fellow by saying something wrong, and then there is no place to die. These people knew, but An Lushan, who had just become the emperor's godson, didn't know.
People, there is such a limitation, once you have some achievements and status, it is very easy to flutter and forget why, An Lushan made such a mistake. At this time, he was in the midst of being popular and proud, and he thought that with the emperor's godfather and concubine's godmother as his backers, he could not take anyone in his eyes, even this Li Linfu. Therefore, when An Lushan saw Li Linfu, he was quite arrogant and disrespectful in his speech.
The treacherous appearance is indeed the adulterous appearance, Li Linfu's performance is unusual, although he looks at it in his eyes and is angry in his heart, but on the surface, he does not move at all, and he looks unaware. If he were an ordinary person and offended Li Linfu like this, his old man would have to break up his wife and his family would be ruined. This is not blowing, Li Linfu has been an official for many years, and he has not made much progress in other aspects, but in the whole area, he is quite powerful.
But this time it's different, because this An Lushan is a celebrity in front of the emperor and the concubine, and he is openly against the emperor and the concubine, which is obviously not a safe way and a wise move. But you can't continue to indulge him, so the best way is to intimidate him and let him know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
After all, the old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes, Li Linfu's eyes rolled, and he immediately recruited his cronies, the dog-legged doctor Wang Jie, so and so, so and so ......
The next day, Wang Ji and An Lushan went to meet Prime Minister Li Linfu together because of an official matter at hand. After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, this situation has changed, there is still a long distance away from Li Linfu, this Wang Ji suddenly held his breath, and trotted all the way to Li Linfu. An Lushan was at a loss, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Jie's gourd, so he saw Wang Jie's running in front of Li Linfu, respectfully bowing his salute, and then reporting to Li Linfu at 1510, and throughout the reporting process, he always bent over with his head down.
Lei Ren is really too thunderous, and the doctor is also a member of the dynasty, and his status as the prime minister is not much worse. An Lushan was stunned on the spot, and after a long time, he woke up to the fact that this Li Linfu is really not a simple guy. When the doctor saw him, he was like a mouse and a cat, and what does this mean? This shows that this man has extremely terrifying power. In the end, it was An Lushan, who could bend and stretch, and when he reacted, he immediately drew a scoop according to the gourd, quickly held his breath, bent over and bowed his head.
An Lushan's change in mood had long been seen by Li Linfu, and he turned around and sang a high-pitched song to An Lushan: "General An's visit to Beijing this time has won the emperor's favor, which is really gratifying." The general should be good at his own and do his best to serve the court. ”
An Lushan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and even claimed to be. Li Linfu saw that his goal had been achieved, and said the last sentence to An Lushan meaningfully: "Although the emperor is high in the Spring and Autumn Period, the prime minister is not old." Of course, you can interpret this sentence however you want.
This time, An Lushan can be regarded as seeing Li Linfu's power, and after that, he is like a god to Li Linfu, and he is not the slightest neglect. Seeing that An Lushan had succumbed, Li Linfu was also secretly proud, and then he gave both grace and power, and the relationship between the two gradually became closer.
*****
An Lushan was very favored and favored by Tang Xuanzong because of his meritorious work in the frontier, and asked him to worship the Yang brothers and sisters to become Jinlan, but they were not in harmony with each other, and each had a ghost. In particular, Yang Guozhong was afraid that An Lushan would divide the emperor's favor, and he kept blowing the wind in Tang Xuanzong's ears: "An Lushan will rebel!"
In order to prove his foresight, Yang Guozhong carried out a rebellion, arrested An Lushan's doorman in Chang'an, and forced An Lushan to strike first in self-defense.
In the fourteenth year of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Empire was standing at the peak of its destiny, and its prosperity and strength surpassed any previous era. Like the midday sun, it radiates dazzling light to the world, and no country can be so magnificent. It has the most powerful army in the world, the most beautiful silk, the most touching poetry, and the merchants and envoys of various countries, pouring like a tide. This is the holy place they are going to worship.
Its owner, Tang Xuanzong, was a seventy-year-old man, Yang Yuhuan, the most beautiful woman in the whole empire, and he lingered in the Lishan Hot Springs. Stone lotus flowers bloom at the bottom of the water, silver wisps swim in pools, gems and lilacs pile up into mountains, and neon clothes and feathers weave into clouds.
Not far from Lishan is Chang'an, the imperial capital with a population of one million, and behind Chang'an, the Tang Empire, which has more than 50 million subjects. There are 100 million stone of grain stored in the granary of the empire, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers are stationed on the borders of the empire.
It was the result of many years of hard work, and now he was entitled to enjoy life, because the empire was as perfect as gold and as solid as jade. Everything was as beautiful as a myth, until someone gently spat out three words in the ears of the imperial master: "An Lushan." Behind these three words, there is a deceitful Hu man.
An Lushan joined the army of the Tang Dynasty and rose through the ranks, becoming a general on the northeastern border. An Lushan had great military talents and a dark and cunning heart, and he once feasted the Khitan chieftains, and after getting the guests drunk, he cut off their heads and threw their corpses into a large pit. Before and after, he killed thousands of people by such means, and their heads were sacrificed to Chang'an as trophies.
Such a femme fatale figure, but he won the trust of Tang Xuanzong, and he behaved foolishly and straightforwardly in front of the emperor.
Tang Xuanzong once pointed to his stomach and asked, "What is in this big belly?"
An Lushan replied loudly: "I only have a naked heart for Your Majesty." ”
The emperor believed it, and among all the generals, Tang Xuanzong trusted him the most. The emperor constantly rewarded him, gave him the most luxurious residence, married the county lord to his son, and named him the king of Dongping County. The most important thing is that he served as the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong. Until An Lushan reached the limit of his power, until Tang Xuanzong had nothing to give him.
So someone said a sentence in front of Tang Xuanzong: "An Lushan will rebel!"
The ministers began to remind Tang Xuanzong: "There are only ten border towns in the entire empire, and An Lushan controls three of them. The most elite cavalry in the country, all under his command, he already has the ability to rebel. ”
Moreover, he also showed signs of rebellion, he recruited 8,000 foreign warriors, organized them into Luoluohe, and became his personal army; he demanded that 32 Han officers be replaced by Tibetans; he wanted to send 6,000 troops into the interior in the name of sacrificing horses; and his son married the county lord, but he did not come to Beijing for some reason. The ministers asked, "If all this is not for rebellion, then for what?"
Tang Xuanzong felt inexplicable fear: "If An Lushan really rebelled, what should I do? Is it too much for him?" Maybe not, maybe it's just groundless.
Tang Xuanzong decided to make a temptation, he wrote a letter and asked the eunuch to send it to An Lushan, who was far away in Fanyang: "I made a new bath for you in Huaqing Palace in Lishan, and I will wait for you here in October." ”
Fanyang is now Beijing, which was the headquarters of An Lushan at that time. The eunuch traveled thousands of miles, entered Fanyang City with a body of dust, and stood in front of An Lushan.
At this time, any courtier should bow down and kowtow, but An Lushan did not get up. He sat on the bed, just moved slightly, An Lushan read the letter, and said lightly: "The saint is still stable, right? I will definitely go in October." Then he drove the eunuch out of the lodge and never showed up again.
The eunuch returned to Chang'an and described An Lushan's arrogance in front of the emperor, crying bitterly: "The minister almost couldn't come back. What answered him was a long silence, and Tang Xuanzong didn't say a word.
"Is this the man with the bare heart? Is this the Imperial Gancheng with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers?"
He watched as the jade-like empire appeared, and a crack appeared. But he was old and tired, and he didn't want to care about these things: "Maybe it's just a crack, and there are cracks on a lot of jade, but isn't it still good? Maybe it will all pass after all." ”
Winter is coming, Tang Xuanzong, as in previous years, left Chang'an and went to Lishan Huaqing Palace. There, he had already built a bath for An Lushan.
October passed in a flash, An Lushan did not come, and then November.
In the Huaqing Palace, the copper pot is as warm as spring. Tang Xuanzong played the jade flute, and the dancers danced in the hall around Yang Yuhuan, their swaying limbs were like trees of the four seasons, and their slender waists were like nameless flowers. The rhythm of the dance became faster and faster, the notes fell like a torrential rain, and Yang Yuhuan floated like snow, like a swimming dragon, and finally transformed into a swirling red cloud. In the song and dance, Tang Xuanzong seemed to gradually forget An Lushan.
But at this very moment, the crack in the jade is exploding, and his splendid empire will be gone forever, and the midday sun will fall to the land to the west.
