Chapter 240: Stirring up and burying mines
"Allegiance", "swearing", anyway, nonsense will come when you open your mouth.
The prince has acting skills, and Gu Qing's acting skills are not bad, life is like a play, and he is in the court play.
Li Heng smiled faintly: "There is no need to say anything about these scenes, Lone is not a stupid person, and he also admires Gu Qing's talent and learning, if he gets Gu Qing's help, it is a blessing for Lonely, if he can't get help, it is Lone's character and virtue that are not cultivated enough, I don't blame you, I just hope that you and I can have a good fate, and no matter when I am in the future, I will not be an enemy of Lonely." ”
Gu Qing hurriedly said: "Your Highness is tormenting the minister, how dare the minister be an enemy of His Highness, in fact, the minister did have something to say when he came here today, if His Highness is willing to talk to His Highness, the minister will talk to His Highness." ”
Li Heng said happily: "I like the word 'heart-to-heart', and I am willing to talk to you about my heart, whether it is now or in the future, I will talk about friends with you regardless of monarchs and ministers." If you think you can identify with me as a friend, then you might as well think about whether you want to help me in the future. ”
Li Heng's art of speaking is very clever, and he unconsciously changed his name, from "Lonely" to "I", which invisibly brought the relationship closer.
Gu Qing quickly scored Li Heng in his mind.
Don't talk about how his acting skills are, or what Li Heng's real character is, at least Li Heng's words are sincere.
Gu Qing organized the wording and said slowly: "Your Highness, what the minister said to you today is something quite taboo, and I hope Your Highness will not blame you." ”
Li Heng said with a smile: "I said, at this moment, you and I are friends, friends are friends, how can you sinner because of your words?" You can rest assured that no matter how rebellious I am, I will keep my mouth shut, and I will not blame you. ”
"Presumably His Royal Highness should have heard that the minister is about to be transferred to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and before leaving, the minister has a word of advice......"
Li Heng sat up straight and said with a dignified attitude: "I'll listen to you." ”
"Your Highness thinks...... How is An Lushan? ”
Li Heng's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Although he is a Hu person, his loyalty is commendable." ”
Gu Qing looked at him with a smile: "If Your Highness really thinks so, the minister will have nothing to say but to leave." ”
Li Heng grabbed him and said with a wry smile: "You are really ...... In the court, there are some things that you can't say as you like, especially my identity...... Alas, you might as well say whatever you want. ”
Gu Qing said slowly: "Your Highness, do you know how many soldiers and horses An Lushan has in his hands?" ”
Li Heng thought for a while and said, "There are 150,000 elite soldiers in the three towns, and I heard that there are some soldiers and horses of different races, and there are also 50,000 of them. ”
"Your Highness, do you know where the three towns of An Lushan are located?"
"The northern barrier of the Tang Dynasty is the place to be rushed."
"The plain of the three towns in the east of the Pinglu River in Fanyang is very wide, it is very suitable for raising horses, and there are many iron mines in the north, Your Highness can know how many prime-age war horses and how many weapons are produced in a year by the three towns of An Lushan?"
With three questions in a row, Li Heng's face couldn't help but change, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"War Horses and Weapons...... I don't know. Li Heng shook his head and said.
Gu Qing stared at his eyes and said seriously: "Your Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future of the Tang Dynasty is yours, these things, you should know, you must know." ”
Li Heng's body tensed unconsciously, and he said in a low voice, "What do you mean by these words?" ”
Gu Qing sighed: "The minister just said that the minister will always be Tang Chen. In the eyes of the ministers, the Tang Dynasty can only be surnamed Li ...... Your Highness, what the minister is worried about now is that someone is going to rob the Tang Dynasty that should belong to you......"
Li Heng's body shook and looked at him in dismay.
Gu Qing suddenly smiled: "Does Your Highness think that the minister is sowing discord and alarmist?" ”
Who knew that Li Heng shook his head slowly, and said with a solemn expression: "I won't hide it from you, about An Lushan, the ministers under the East Palace have discussed with me countless times, this person is not of my race, and he has a heavy army, and he is extremely favored by his father, how can I not take such an important person to heart?" ”
"What is the outcome of the discussion?"
"There are no disputes, and all clouds are loyal and treacherous. Some people say that An Lushan congratulates on time every year, is loyal to his father, enters Chang'an City and entourages less than 1,000 horses, cattle, horses and sheep congratulatory gifts are not less than 10,000 heads, and after entering the city, the five bodies are respectful, and there is no contrast in words and deeds. ”
"Some people also say that loyalty is a traitor, An Lushan has 200,000 soldiers and horses, when Li Linfu was alive and he was friendly, over the years An Lushan has asked Li Linfu for food, weapons and money, ten years ago he was only two towns and festivals, less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, just ten years, has expanded to 200,000, a border general, the expansion of soldiers and horses is so fast, it really makes people have to doubt its intentions."
Gu Qing said in a low voice: "Your Highness thinks An Lushan is loyal or traitorous?" ”
Li Heng was silent for a long time and said, "I like to think about the bad in everything, especially ...... Every time An Lushan came to Chang'an, he didn't pay courtesy when he saw me, and he said that he only recognized his father as the son of the Tang Dynasty in this life...... Seeing the prince and not worshipping, he openly said that he only recognized one Tang Dynasty emperor, this is not a minister's way, and his heart can be punished. ”
"Therefore, I think An Lushan may have the opposite intentions, he is loyal to his father and the emperor, but in fact he hides the ambition of the wolf......" Li Heng suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, these words are not taboo, but my father is very fond of An Lushan, and he doesn't like to listen to them." In the past two years, I have also mentioned it to my father many times, asking him to beware of An Lushan, but my father always doesn't take it to heart. ”
Li Heng sighed and said: "Looking at his father's favor and trust in him, I think An Lushan was born to his father, if An Lushan's surname is Li, maybe his father will really pass on the country to him." ”
Gu Qing saw that An Lushan had become a piece of Li Heng's heart, and he was about to be depressed.
The light clouds and breezes just now were all pretended, and Li Heng couldn't tell how much he hated An Lushan in his heart. Seeing the prince and not doing courtesy, this alone was enough for Li Heng to have murderous intent towards him.
Gu Qing smacked his lips, he suddenly felt that tonight was in vain.
originally planned to sow discord, but who knew that there was no need to stir up discord at all, and Li Heng hated An Lushan to the extent that he was probably not inferior to himself.
"If Your Highness has some leisure, you might as well take a look at the transfer and archive of the officials and generals who have been left in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War over the years."
Li Heng was puzzled: "What do you mean ......?"
"Look at how many officials and generals have been transferred to the three towns of An Lushan over the years, and more importantly, how many Han officials and generals have been transferred, and how many Hu officials and generals have been promoted...... Maybe there are only two or three, three or four a year, but if you look at the whole, look at how many Hu people have been promoted in ten years, and where these Hu people have been placed in the three towns, Your Highness may be able to understand something. ”
Li Heng was shocked, he and the ministers of the curtain had never thought of this.
"I'll transfer the officials of the Ministry of War and the generals tomorrow to keep it on file for reading." Li Heng said seriously.
Gu Qing smiled and said softly: "Your Highness, Yang Guozhong also seems to be quite dissatisfied with An Lushan......"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”
Gu Qing knew that he and Yang Guozhong did not deal with each other, but he still said calmly: "Jiangshan Sheji and the court fight, which is more important, Your Highness should have a trade-off, sometimes enemies can cooperate temporarily for the sake of common interests, although Yang Guozhong and His Highness are not on good terms, but what he wants to get rid of is the foreign enemy of Datang, Your Highness, the future of Datang is yours, and it is the first priority to eliminate the big trouble." ”
Li Heng pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly, "I know how to do it." ”
Looking up at Gu Qing, Li Heng smiled and sighed: "With you, I know that Jun is wise and far-reaching, I feel more and more that you are a rare assistant, Gu Qing, come and assist me, I am willing to share good and bad with you, and I will live up to you in this life." ”
Gu Qing's eyes blinked, and he silently repeated several times, "Fortune and misfortune are shared, and this life will definitely live up to you."
Good sentences, write them down, and use them when proposing in the future. The petal rain can't move her, she can only say sweet words, pay attention to collecting in life in the future, and don't believe in sweetness and don't kill her.
"Thank Your Highness for your kindness, but the minister is about to go to Anxi, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to Chang'an in the next year or two.
This is very clever, only Gu Qing knows that An Lushan should be reversed in a year or two, and Li Longji at that time could not protect himself, so he fled to Shuzhou in embarrassment. And Li Heng, after being dazzled by the great waves of the times, had to take on the task of suppressing and pacifying the rebels, and there was nothing wrong with Gu Qing's loyalty to him at that time, after all, Li Heng was the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Regarding the part of standing in line, Gu Qing is very stubborn.
Getting Gu Qing's promise, Li Heng was overjoyed, he didn't expect to have an unexpected joy tonight, he originally thought that Gu Qing would not take refuge in him, but who knew that after chatting once, it would be.
"Hahaha, today's great joy, when the floating white! Come on, serve wine! Li Heng laughed.
Gu Qing smiled and said: "The minister is willing to assist His Highness, but please keep quiet, and wait until the minister returns from Anxi." Otherwise, if Your Majesty knows about ......"
Li Heng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I will definitely not mention it to anyone, if I have problems in Chang'an, I will send someone to secretly send a letter to ask for advice, and please teach me without hesitation." ”
"Minister, you must do your best to serve Your Highness."
…………
Chang'an on a moonlit night is still lively.
Since the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City during the Gaozong period, Chang'an has become a veritable city that never sleeps. Every night, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, the various restaurants and restaurants, as well as the singing and dancing of large households, add a lot of amazing charm to the night of Chang'an City.
Princess Wanchun sat in the carriage and slowly walked towards the princess's mansion. The Yulin guards in front of him scolded and opened the way, and the carriage swayed through the crowd of people in the Chang'an Night Market.
Wan Chun was distraught with one hand on his cheek, and from time to time he slapped the cushion in the luxury carriage to vent his anger.
"How can Zhang Huaijin like a person who stays like a wood? Is she blind? Wan Chun hated the authentic way.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and a deacon palace maid said respectfully outside the carriage: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the maidservant has found out." ”
Wan Chun was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "You get into the carriage." ”
The palace maid got into the carriage, knelt down in front of Wan Chun in a proper manner, lowered her head and said: "In accordance with His Royal Highness's order, the maid inquired about the recent affairs in Zhang Jiuzhang's mansion and reported to His Royal Highness. ”
"Say."
"Your Royal Highness, Zhang Huaixing is Zhang Jiuling's grandson, and Zhang Huaijin is a cousin, and Gu County's Marquis helping Zhang Huaixing is not for Zhang Huaijin, but for Zhang Huaiyu, that is, Zhang Huaixing's half-sister......"
Wan Chun was stunned, stunned for a long time, angrily slammed the cushion, and said angrily: "Zhang Huaiyu! Where did Zhang Huaiyu come from? What is the origin of this Zhang Huaiyu? What is her relationship with Gu Qing? ”
"How can there be so many blind women these days? Woo, I'm so angry! ”
