Zheng Yang Yuhuan took a look in the imperial study and saw An Lushan crying bitterly with a handful of snot and tears. Yang Yuhuan was shocked, worried about her affair with An Lushan, she glanced at Tang Xuanzong Li Longji cautiously, and found that he didn't notice her, so she felt a little more at ease. Quietly stood at the door without saying a word.

After a while, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's sanity returned, and he noticed Yang Yuhuan standing beside him, and asked, "When did Concubine Ai come over, why did she stand here and not go in?"

Yang Yuhuan said: "The concubine has been here for a while, and when she saw the emperor's anger, she didn't know what was going on?"

After coming back to reason, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Let Lu'er talk about it, I still need to think about this matter carefully." ”

Yang Yuhuan didn't want to ask An Lushan, she glanced lightly into the room, turned around and wanted to leave. An Lushan couldn't let go of the opportunity to talk to Yang Yuhuan, he hurriedly talked about his grievances with the regent Shi Dafu and Wang Zhonghei, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu.

Where there are people, there is war, open war, dark war has never been less, the contradiction between An Lushan and Wang Zhongsi has a long history is the result of the joint action of many forces.

In December of the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan (741), Shibao City was captured by the Tubo army, and in September of the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Longyou Jiedu made Huangfu Weiming meritorious and launched an attack on Shibao City, but because the Tang army only cared about attacking the city and neglected to send reinforcements, the Tang army was defeated again. Due to the repeated attacks on Shibao City, it became a knot in Xuanzong's heart.

In order to cater to the emperor's holy will, the general Dong Yanguang invited himself to lead troops to attack Shibao City. Xuanzong immediately approved it and ordered Wang Zhonghei to divide his troops to help. Wang Zhongji had no choice but to send out the army, but he had objections to this move, so he did not help each other, which made Dong Yanguang resentful.

Dong Yanguang made a war letter, boasting that Haikou failed to conquer Shibao City as scheduled, which made him very ashamed, but instead of examining his responsibility, he blamed Wang Zhonghe's fault, saying that he 'obstructed the military aircraft'.

Dong Yanguang's prevarication is very much in line with the mind of the right minister Li Linfu, he has long seen that Wang Zhonghei is not pleasing to the eye, worried that he is becoming famous, and one day the emperor will recruit him into the court as the prime minister, threatening his own phase, in order to stifle Wang Zhonghe, this unfavorable factor, Li Linfu cooperated with Dong Yanguang in front of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji to criticize Wang Zhongsi as useless.

I don't want Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is not a fool, he didn't believe the words of the two, and Wang Zhonghe's military power did not waver in the slightest.

If one plan failed, Li Linfu set his sights on An Lushan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, both of them were ambitious people, they hit it off, and colluded inside and outside to rebel.

Under Li Linfu's planning, An Lushan pretended to have a foreign invasion, in order to resist the foreign tribes, he recruited troops and horses, hoarded a large number of grain, grass and weapons, and asked Wang Zhongsi to lead his troops down to help build the city wall, wanting to take the opportunity to leave his soldiers and horses, and treat Wang Zhonghei a capital crime of communicating with foreign countries.

The plan was very good, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Zhongsi arrived earlier than An Lushan, saw through his conspiracy, and directly led the troops back to the station. and played this matter to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, saying that An Lushan was recruiting troops to buy horses and hoarding grain and grass, with ill intentions and rebellion, and hoped that the emperor would make plans as soon as possible.

The secret music was written very clearly, but unfortunately it was intercepted halfway by Li Linfu, the right minister. The secret music was not delivered to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, but it was sent to An Lushan overnight.

Li Linfu's purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to encourage An Lushan and Wang Zhonghei to fight with each other, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

An Lushan understood Li Linfu's intentions, and he had a secret play in his hand, he had no choice, and he had to strike first.

An Lushan pondered for a long time, and finally came up with the idea of using Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's trust in him to sue a wicked person first, reversing right and wrong, and confusing black and white.

He first said that Wang Zhonghei ignored the orders of the imperial court and allowed the invasion of foreign invaders, but did not send troops to help, and asked him to help build the city wall, but there was no one to be seen. Now Wang Zhonghei has a heavy army in his hands and commands the four towns, if he does not cut power as soon as possible, he may have troubles.

An Lushan's words, Li Longji was suspicious, he was angry, but he didn't express his position, which made An Lushan feel a little bottomless.

He sobbed and said, "Mother, what the child just told his father is true, but the father doesn't trust the child. ”

"Oh. Yang Yuhuan responded with an uncertain attitude.

An Lushan emphasized again: "Wang Zhonghei really said: In the palace, Yunwu wants to serve the prince. ”

When Tang Xuanzong heard this, his head began to swell again, he became furious, and without asking any questions, he sent an order: "Come on, recruit Wang Zhonghei into the court, and hand it over to Yushitai, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province for joint interrogation."

The trumped-up charges put Wang Zhongsi in prison.

After the order to arrest Wang Zhonghei was issued, An Lushan was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly left the palace to celebrate.

"Your Majesty, your order is too hasty, isn't it?" Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but interject.

At this time, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji no longer had the angry look just now, he sighed and said: "I know that what Lu'er said is a little biased, but one thing he said is right, Wang Zhonghe's power is too big, I want to take the opportunity to weaken the power in his hands, let him understand that his rights are given by me, and I can take them back at any time." ”

Yang Yuhuan took a long breath and said, "I thought you were really deceived by An Lushan." ”

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji said with a smile: "Although Lu'er is sincere, it is inevitable that there will be some personal grievances mixed with things, how can the prince live in the inner courtyard of the deep palace all the year round and conspire with outsiders, just listen to this matter, don't take it to heart." ”

Yang Yuhuan said softly: "I saw you lose your temper so much just now, I thought it was -----"

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji didn't want to discuss this matter with Yang Yuhuan anymore, he said: "It's better for women's families not to participate in political affairs, let's go, I'll take you to the Imperial Garden." ”

Tang Xuanzong is not confused, but Li Linfu below him is not stupid, after Wang Zhongsi was arrested, things were out of Tang Xuanzong's control, and all the important positions in various departments of the DPRK and China were occupied by Li Linfu's henchmen. Therefore, after the triage of the three divisions, Wang Zhongsi did not just reduce his authority and deter him as Tang Xuanzong Li Longji thought, but was sentenced to death.

This verdict surprised Tang Xuanzong Li Longji a little, but what the three divisions did was leaky, and the evidence was ironclad, so he didn't want to say anything more, but he paid extra attention to the right minister Li Linfu.

When the news of Wang Zhonghe's imprisonment and death sentence reached the barracks, the generals were in a hurry and unanimously recommended Ge Shuhan to come to Beijing to rescue him.

Geshu Han Anxi people, Turkic people, Geshu clan, a famous military general of the Tang Dynasty. Geshuhan was originally a descendant of the leader of the Goshu tribe of Turgish (one of the Turkic tribes whose land should be west of the Ili River and east of Atami in present-day Xinjiang).
