Chapter 723: An Lushan and his people
Tang Xuanzong liked to hear this, and he smiled: "You old guy, the older you get, the less you are in shape." ”
was disturbed by the old minister, Tang Xuanzong's face looked a lot better.
"Xuan'an Lushan will meet you. ”
An Lushan originally had no surname, and his name was Rolling Mountain. His mother, Ashde, was a Turkic sorcerer who practiced divination. The pronunciation of the word "fighting" by the Turks is Gan Ju Mountain, so they use it as the name of An Lushan. He lost his father when he was a child and lived with his mother among the Turks, and An Yanyan, the elder brother of the general An Bozhi, married his mother.
In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, An Lushan fled from the Turks with the son of the general An Daomai. An Daomai's second son, An Zhenjie, let Lanzhou drive and arrested the two of them. When he reached the age of ten years, An Lushan was ashamed to live with his brother and stepfather, An Yanyan. agreed to marry An Sishun and others as brothers, and the surname was An. When he grew up, An Lushan was fluent in six Chinese languages and became a tooth lang who negotiated prices for buyers and sellers.
In the twentieth year of Kaiyuan (732), Zhang Shouqi was appointed to Youzhou Jiedu, An Lushan was caught stealing sheep, Zhang Shouqi tortured him, ready to beat him to death with a stick, he shouted loudly: "Doesn't the doctor want to destroy the two Tibetan tribes? Why do you want to kill me!" Zhang Shouqi saw that he was white and fat, and his language was heroic, so he let him go. ordered him to capture the prisoners alive with his fellow villager Shi Siming, as long as they went out, they would definitely be able to catch them on time, and promoted An Lushan to a partial general. Zhang Shouqi always thought that An Lushan was too obese, this person has always been awe-inspiring, and An Lushan didn't dare to eat more food when he was afraid. An Lushan was famous for his bravery, and Zhang Shouqi adopted him as his adopted son.
In the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan (740), An Lushan served as the soldier and horse envoy of Pinglu. He was very clever and intelligent, and people mostly praised him. The imperial court conferred on him the rank of governor of Yingzhou and military envoy of Pinglu.
An Lushan is more alert, good at drilling, as soon as he arrives in the capital, he visits the ministers, bribes the officials with generous gifts, and asks to say more good things for him in the imperial court, which has a scene where the ministers gather in the morning hall.
As the guards summoned one after another:
"Xuanping Lu military envoy to the palace------"
"Xuanping Lu military envoy to the palace------"
"Xuanping Lu military envoy to the palace------"
Soon, a man with a bloated figure like a water tank walked into the main hall, and a gorgeous brocade robe was put on his body, which looked like a ball of meat wrapped in silk brocade from a distance, which made people look nondescript, cute and ridiculous.
Seeing this, Tang Xuanzong snorted and laughed.
This An Lushan is also a person who is good at adjusting the atmosphere, as soon as he entered the hall, he was sensitively aware of the tense atmosphere in the palace, he saw the emperor looking at himself and laughing, so he simply made it a little more funny, stood on tiptoe, and danced the Hu Xuan dance. Don't look at him fat, but he dances the whirlwind and moves as fast as a whirlwind.
The ministers above the hall were like watching a clown performance, and they were all happy to lean forward and back together.
"Meet the emperor, I wish my emperor long live, long live the emperor, long live -----"
After a whirling dance, An Lushan slightly bent his big belly like a ball, and respectfully saluted Tang Xuanzong.
At this time, Li Longji's mood was already very good.
Approvingly, he said, "Flat, our hero ------"
After layers of money to open the way, An Lushan became a hero with great wisdom and courage in the eyes of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji at this time, and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty.
An Lushan, who is dressed as a hero, is actually a scheming person, peeling off his carefully woven camouflage, he is actually an opportunist who is good at drilling camps in his bones.
The rise of An Lushan has the right time, place and people, a person who has no achievements and is as ugly as a man can go all the way to the green light in front of Tang Xuanzong, I really can't believe that there is no response from heaven.
So when Su Tong said that he wanted to remind Li Longji in person, I stopped her.
"An Lushan's heroic image is the result of his own efforts, and it is also the result of heaven, and we, as outsiders, cannot participate more. ”
"Why can't you even give a reminder?" Su Tong asked unhappily.
I thought for a moment and said: "Because the character of An Lushan is actually created by Tang Xuanzong himself from a historical point of view, he needs such a character at this time to relieve the pressure within the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Oh?" Su Tong still didn't understand what I meant.
I explained: "Now the Khitan and Xi forces in the northeastern part of the Tang Dynasty have become stronger, they are both Donghu people, who were driven by the strong enemy Xiongnu in the early years and forced to retreat to the north. For a long time, Xi and Khitan have made a living by hunting and nomadism. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, in order to win them over, Tang Taizong set up the Songmo Governor's Mansion there, and the leader was surnamed Li. I don't want the Khitan to be a capricious person, they have repeatedly surrendered, and repeatedly betrayed the Tang Dynasty, which makes the people in power in the Tang Dynasty a headache, the reason why Tang Xuanzong is convinced to reuse An Lushan is also because he is a Hu person, he knows the Tang Dynasty's policy and border situation very well, Tang Xuanzong wants to use him to pacify the Eastern Hu ---- in one fell swoop"
Su Tong said with a sense of justice: "This is simply the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, no, I want to remind Li Longji that I can't die without help." ”
I also had the heart to challenge the way of heaven in my heart, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you go, if you can explain this matter clearly, I will listen to you in the future." ”
Su Tong rushed to the Hall of Eternal Life, wanting to save the country, and asked Yang Yuhuan to tell Li Longji about it.
I don't want to, after entering the Hall of Eternal Life, Su Tong couldn't speak, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, but he couldn't say a word.
"Su Tong, are you sick, why is your face so ugly?" Yang Yuhuan looked at Su Tong in surprise and asked.
"Being turned into a dumb person for no reason will not be in a good mood for anyone. I laughed.
"Why? Nianqing, did you do it?" Yang Yuhuan looked at me with a very distrustful look.
"If only I had the skills. I said very helplessly.
"Su Tong can't speak, you can say it for her, what does she mean by it?" Yang Yuhuan asked.
"About -------"
As soon as I said two words, I couldn't make a sound, Su Tong looked at me with a struggle in his eyes, and I was also helpless.
"Heavenly Dao, you scoundrel!" I cursed in my heart.
At this time, a low scolding voice sounded in my head: "No matter how nosy you are, I will leave you speechless for the rest of your life." ”
"Are you Heavenly Dao?" I asked tentatively.
"Ask ---- if you know"
Tiandao replied impatiently.
"Why do you have to let Tang Xuanzong lose his evening festival?" I asked, puzzled.
Tiandao sighed and said: "He should have this calamity in his fate, if he does not experience the calamity of love, life and death, he cannot return to the divine realm, he can only reincarnate in the human world, suffering from reincarnation." ”
