In ancient times, ethnic minorities often took the name of the tribe as their surname, so the people of the Geshu tribe were all surnamed Geshu.

Ge Shuhan's grandfather, Ge Shufu, was the head of Zuo Qingdao. His father, Geshu Daoyuan, served as the deputy protector of the Anxi Prefecture and the envoy of the Chishui Army (now Wuwei County, Gansu). Her mother, Yu Chi, was the daughter of the king of Khotan (present-day southwest of Hotan, Xinjiang), so she lived in Anxi. Ge Shuhan's family is wealthy, which makes him bold, righteous and wealthy, and righteous and promised. But because he likes to drink and gamble, he has been doing nothing.

When he was forty years old, he came to Chang'an for his father's funeral, and was reused by Wang Zhonghe, the envoy of the festival, and made meritorious contributions to the new city, and joined the army in Hexi, and his reputation began to appear. Ge Shuhan captured the new city of Tubo according to Wang Zhonghe's order, led the army to fight desperately, took the new city, and was promoted to the general of the left guard.

Soon after Wang Zhongsi was arrested in Beijing, Ge Shuhan was also recruited into the court, and Wang Zhongsi was the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and Tang Xuanzong appreciated him very much.

When Ge Shuhan was summoned to the palace to meet the emperor, a general advised him to bring more gold, silver and jade silk to save Wang Zhonghei, but Ge Shuhan said: "If there is still justice in the world, the prince will not die unjustly, if the court is chaotic and there is no place to reason, it is useless to bring more treasures." ”

Ge Shuhan believed that there was still a place for reason in the world, and when he entered Beijing, he only brought a small package with a few changes of clothes. He firmly believed that Wang Zhongji was wronged.

When he entered the palace to meet the emperor, Li Longji asked him what he thought of Tibet, and he said: "Tubo is located on the northwest border, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the air is thin, and the resources are scarce. When they were in civil strife and the country was weak, they asked for peace, and when the country was strong, they came to invade the territory of our Tang Dynasty and brutalize the people of Li. The minister believed that our dynasty's policy toward Tibet needed to be adjusted, and that the strategy of simple restraint should be changed to conquest by force. ”

Ge Shuhan's words were very much in line with Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's wishes.

"Aiqing's opinion coincides with me, and I appointed Qing as the deputy ambassador of the Longyou Jiedu Zhidu Yingtian, and served as the envoy of the Longyou Jiedu. ”

As soon as Tang Xuanzong's words fell, Ge Shuhan knelt down with a puff and said, "Your Majesty, please take back your ------."

Ge Shuhan's performance was too abnormal, which made Tang Xuanzong Li Longji puzzled, and he asked, "Isn't Aiqing dissatisfied with this official position?"

Ge Shuhan kowtowed and said, "The reason for the non-official position." The minister can be loyal to the emperor, and after his death, he has -----"

"Then why didn't you refuse?" Tang Xuanzong Li Longji asked more and more puzzled.

"The Ministers Deserve ------"

"Why not?"

"The boss was wrongfully imprisoned, and instead of doing his best to rescue him, he also added an official to the knighthood and replaced him, how could he not feel guilty?"

Tang Xuanzong deliberately said in a deep voice: "That Wang Zhonghei discussed the government in vain, did not listen to the dispatch, and deserved it, how can it be compared with Aiqing's appointment?"

Ge Shuhan insisted: "The coach is not guilty, and the minister will not admit the trumped-up crime------"

Tang Xuanzong said with a gloomy face: "Is the failure of Shibao City to be captured on time related to Wang Zhonghe's delay in the fighter plane?"

Ge Shuhan said righteously: "The sage's statement, the minister does not dare to agree, in the battle of Shibao City, Commander Wang sent troops on time and actively responded, the reason why he returned in vain was purely due to the poor command of General Dong Yanguang Dong, and it has nothing to do with the commander, and this pot cannot be blamed on Boss Wang because of General Dong's frame-up------

Ge Shuhan's words, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji slightly agreed, but he did not express his position immediately, stood up and raised his legs and left. Li Longji's behavior made Ge Shuhan understand that he didn't want to listen to himself defend Wang Zhonghe.

Ge Shuhan did not hesitate, he had already put his life and death aside, followed in the footsteps of Tang Xuanzong, bowed step by step, kowtowed step by step, his words were impassioned, and he defended Wang Zhonghei with tears in his eyes.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji stopped and smiled meaninglessly: "Aren't you afraid that I will condemn you as Wang Zhonghe's fellow party? ”

Ge Shuhan swore an oath: "The minister believes that there is justice in the world, the minister believes that the emperor has a clear understanding, and the minister dares to use the head of the person on the item as a guarantee to ensure that the king is dedicated to the country and loyal to the court, and there is no way to form a party for personal gain, and there is no intention to rebel!"

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji knew in his heart that what Ge Shuhan said was right, and Wang Zhongji was wronged.

But he still made a mistake: "Aiqing, if I release Wang Zhonghei, can you guarantee that he will not fight against him?"

"The minister is willing to use the lives of the whole family as a guarantee to ensure that he will not rebel, if the saint still does not believe in the minister, the minister voluntarily confined, in exchange for the freedom of the king and the commander. ”

"Yes, yes, it's really a chivalrous hero, I believe you, but Wang Zhonghe's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, I punished him for a year's salary, and it is not too much to degrade him to Hanyang Taishou, right?"

Hearing this, Ge Shuhan's heart relaxed, and he took a long breath and said, "Don't be excessive, don't be excessive, the saint is wise." ”

Ge Shuhan knew in his heart that there were many people who died on the same charges as Wang Zhonghe, Tang Xuanzong's three sons and a son-in-law were all killed on trumped-up charges of treason, and it was rare for Wang Zhongsi to be able to pick up a life.

Wang Zhongji was pardoned by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji with a word, which made the right prime minister Li Longji feel very angry, and dozens of people in the right prime minister's mansion were inexplicably executed that night, and there were more unjustly killed souls in the sky above the right minister's mansion.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji heard a little about this, but he didn't make a statement, he wanted to keep Li Linfu to restrain the crown prince Li Xiang, as long as it didn't affect his own throne, he didn't care too much about the life and death of others.

In line with the principle that one thing is one thing, Tang Xuanzong put aside the issue of Li Linfu's henchmen.

But sometimes, things can't be avoided if you can, and if he doesn't cause trouble, it doesn't mean that things won't come to him.

Li Linfu began to make a big fuss about Yang Shenjin again.

Yang Shenjin, the great-grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, his great-grandfather was Yang Guang's second son, Yang Hui, King of Qi.

Yang Shenjin's family was prominent and eye-catching, and his children could enter the Tang Dynasty. And he himself is deep and resolute, talented, self-willed, and likes to make friends.

In the second year of Tianbao (743), Yang Shenjin was promoted to the position of the Commander of the Imperial History, serving as an envoy to Gyeonggi and concurrently serving as the cashier of Taifu. Li Linfu, the right minister in the imperial court, held heavy power, and Yang Shenjin judged the situation and thought that his promotion was not directly promoted through Li Linfu's door, which was not in line with the world's conditions, and he was afraid of offending Li Linfu, so he did not dare to accept this appointment and insisted on not granting it.

Through this incident, Li Linfu was very satisfied with Yang Shenjin's resignation and assigned him to his own party.

If Yang Shenjin is a mediocre person, he may be able to live this life happily, but unfortunately he is a person with ideals and ambitions, with his own strength, he was promoted quickly, and he was deeply used by the emperor. This made Li Linfu feel indignant again, he couldn't tolerate others being better than himself, he wanted to suppress, suppress anyone who might threaten him, so Yang Shenjin still didn't escape Li Linfu's persecution.
