"The right minister is dead, so it's better not to say it if there is no evidence. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji said after a deep sigh.

"I have witnesses, I have physical evidence------ Yang Guozhong is determined to confirm the matter of Li Linfu's party and treason.

Li Linfu is dead and has no argument, he has twenty-five sons, but none of the twenty-five daughters has inherited his wisdom and courage, and no one dares to question the evidence presented by Yang Guozhong.

In this way, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji ordered that Li Linfu be deprived of all his official titles during his lifetime, all the Li family's property was confiscated, and all his sons and sons-in-law were exiled to Lingnan.

Li Linfu is dead and buried, Tang Xuanzong Li Long basically wanted to let him go, but he didn't expect Yang Guozhong to admonish: "If the deceased is not investigated for the matter of forming a party and treason, it is not enough to deter hundreds of officials, and the minister suggested that Li Linfu be replaced with a coffin and buried according to the standards of the common people." ”

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was in a state of anger at this time, and immediately ordered Li Linfu's grave to be opened and the things he was buried with were all collected.

Honor and disgrace changed rapidly, and at the beginning of the twelfth year of Tianbao, Li Linfu's grave was opened, and the person was put into a thin small coffin, and the matter was hastily buried according to the standards of ordinary people.

There were very few people attending the funeral, but it attracted the attention of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, which represented the denial of Li Linfu's nineteen-year achievements by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and the end of the era when Li Linfu covered the sky with one hand, and the advent of the Yang Guozhong era, some people were happy and some cried.

Soon after Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong took over the power of the prime minister, and Chen Xilie, the left minister, also took refuge in the past. Li Linfu's nineteen-year reign was not useless, he let the big ship of the Tang Dynasty Empire sail safely for nineteen years, but in the hands of Yang Guozhong, the ship showed signs of capsizing.

Yang Guozhong's experience since childhood has created his competitive and impetuous character, and there is no majesty at all.

Once the prime minister was in power, he thought he controlled the world. When dealing with important military and political affairs of the country, he is often rigid and self-serving, acting hastily, and treating the princes and ministers with arrogance and arrogance, which is better than that of the Wang Gong of the year, which makes everyone inside and outside the court feel at risk, and the court does not dare to admonish casually.

This provided an opportunity for An Lushan, who has always had wolf ambitions, to take advantage of.

When Li Linfu was in power, An Lushan was afraid that he could see through his right side at a glance.

An Lushan's ability to lie is very high, but Li Linfu, the right minister, is very good at observing people's hearts, and can often see through what he is thinking at a glance. This made An Lushan panic, and when Li Linfu was in power, he only had ambitions and did not dare to act.

After Li Linfu died, he deliberately went to Li Linfu's grave to confirm it, laughed at home for three days, and shouted in the secret room: "Lao Tzu's spring is coming!"

Don't look at An Lushan's unsightly appearance, he looks cute to anyone, but he has hills and valleys in his heart, since he won the trust of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and led the three towns of heavy troops, holding the power of life and death, rewarding and punishing all words, gradually his heart began to swell. After meeting Yang Guifei, this inflated ambition began to make it difficult for him to sleep.

At first, he just wanted to bring down Li Linfu and enter the court as the prime minister, so that he could see Yang Guifei every day. But after getting close to Yang Yuhuan, he gave up the idea of being a prime minister, and he wanted to stay with Yang Guifei for a long time.

He thought about it again and again: just being a prime minister will never get the delicate and lovely concubine, not to mention that according to the practice of the imperial court, the crown prince will succeed to the throne after the emperor's death, and he and the prince Li Xiang have never dealt with each other.

These concerns once again made it difficult for An Lushan to sleep.

Thinking about it day and night, An Lushan's thoughts were gradually noticed by his advisers. In the secret room, Sun Xiaozhe asked in unison: "Lord, you have lost a lot of weight recently, but are you sick?"

An Lushan shook his head: "No, I'm just a little worried." ”

"The things that the Lord is thinking about, Wei Chen has a little measurement, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. Gao Shang said with a slight smile, looking confident.

"You and I are called master and servant, but we are really brothers, you follow me from birth to death, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, what can you not say directly? You can tell me what I have in mind. An Lushan said.

"The emperor is old and old, and the Lord is worried about his future. Gao Shang whispered.

"Yes, I have offended the crown prince, as long as he succeeds to the throne, it is only a matter of time before I am killed, I can die, but I am worried about you old ministers who have followed me for many years. An Lushan choked up as he spoke.

"What plan does the Lord have, just talk about it, we are all old ministers of the Lord, and we are willing to live and die with the Lord, and we will never give you up your only life. Sun Xiaozhe immediately said.

An Lushan has no doubt about Gao Shang and Sun Xiaozhe, but the matter in his heart is a big thing that pierces the sky, how dare he say it lightly if it is not a child's play, he pondered and said: "I don't have any plans in my heart, I just have some worries." ”

An Lushan's anxiety is also what his group of strategists and generals are worried about, after more than ten years of operation, they have become a community of interests that advance and retreat together, if An Lushan is killed, they will not be able to make any good. For this reason, Sun Xiaozhe instigated An Lushan to rebel and said: "Lord, with your wisdom and strategy, with the strength we have at hand, is it necessary for you to be subservient to others?

An Lushan dared to think about this, but he didn't dare to say it directly, he pretended to be silent and said: "Today, the saint treats me like his own son, how can I have such an objection, this will leave me with a reputation of disloyalty and injustice, I can't be such an ungrateful villain." ”

Gao Shang persuaded: "Today's saint is old and faint, indulged in wine all the year round, and now he is reusing Yang Guozhong, a traitorous villain, the people are complaining, and the government and the opposition urgently need someone to come out and raise their arms to save the people from fire and water, the Lord wants to do a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how can anyone question your intentions?"

"Lord Gao is right, the lord has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and the mainland is empty, and the imperial court is still light and military, so if you don't send troops at this time, when will you wait?" Sun Xiaozhe answered.

"Is this providential?" An Lushan asked after thinking for a while.

"Providence!" Gao Shang nodded affirmatively.

"Providence is so daring to disobey. An Lushan said with a pious look.

The opinions of the three of them coincided, and they immediately planned the details of the army in the secret room.
