Li Longji listened to the accusations of the two princesses, and was shocked in his heart, he has always trusted An Lushan, a fat man, after all, An Lushan is absolutely obedient to him, and he thinks about him everywhere, and when he encounters any good things in the jurisdiction, the first thing that comes to mind is to dedicate it to him, which makes him quite happy.

But now the two princesses are trying their best to accuse An Lushan, which makes Li Longji quite distressed, with his trust in An Fatzi, until the two princesses accuse him in front of him, he also thinks that there will be any misunderstanding in this.

But An Lushan's recital is clearly written, saying that the two princesses have been killed by their husbands, and now, the two princesses are standing in front of him, which can at least prove that An Lushan is lying, and lying to the emperor is the crime of bullying the king!

Li Longji pondered for a while, and then ordered the captured assassins to be escorted into the main hall.

"Kneel, all kneel."

The palace guards escorted the three Assassins into the main hall and kicked them all up to kneel on the main hall, while the other Assassins, due to their injuries, were temporarily imprisoned in their cells and had Lang Zhong treat them briefly.

"Are you An Lushan's subordinates?"

Li Longji asked sharply.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are all old subordinates of An Jieshuai, soldiers of the first battalion of the Pinglu Army."

One of the Assassins replied with a shudder.

"Then why did you assassinate the two princesses, An Lushan asked you to do this? You must answer the truth, and you must not tell half a lie. ”

Li Longji said.

"Your Majesty, we are just acting on orders, and we don't know that the person we want to kill is the princess."

"Acting under command, by whose command, and by what shall he do?"

Li Longji continued the interrogation.

"It was the henchmen of the festival marshal who gave us an order in person, let us deploy along the way, block the road for the people of the two Tibets to enter Beijing, and find that the people of the two Tibetans, regardless of men, women and children, will be killed, especially women, must be killed."

"Your Majesty spares my life, I really don't know that it is the princess who is going to be killed, the night before yesterday, we received a solemn flying pigeon summons, asking us to intercept a team of ironclad artillery cars heading south, and if we find a woman inside, get rid of it immediately."

The assassin was given psychological counseling by Ang Lee, and he answered all the situations truthfully, and only by answering truthfully can he be more credible.

When Li Longji heard this, he paced back and forth in the main hall, and after carefully questioning the two princesses and the three assassins, he waved his hand, let the two princesses stay in the palace to rest, and put the three assassins in prison.

Subsequently, Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er were introduced into the main hall and reported more information to Li Longji, so that Li Longji could understand the ins and outs of the matter more clearly.

Through the confessions of the two princesses, Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er, as well as the three assassins, as well as An Lushan's twists and turns, Li Longji has formed a clear concept in his mind, and he has a clear idea of the cause and effect of the matter.

"Everyone, Zuo Xiang, Li Shilang and other ministers are still waiting outside the palace?"

Colliers reminded in a whisper.

"Declare them into the temple."

Li Longji's tone was very small, and he seemed a little lacking in strength.

After entering the palace, the ministers first asked how the princess was doing and whether there was any major problem, and then began to count all kinds of bullying behaviors of An Lushan, and asked the emperor to severely punish An Lushan.

And these ministers can be so together, naturally they have already discussed, they and Li An are in the same group, and they can be regarded as strong supporters of Li An, besides, they have long seen An Lushan unpleasant, and they are naturally willing to cooperate with Li An to beat the water dogs.

Li Longji has been groaning, although he has figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and knows that An Lushan is a vicious villain, but he does not dare to rashly attack An Lushan.

After all, An Lushan is now the envoy of the two towns of the Tang Dynasty, with a lot of real power in his hands, and the soldiers and horses under his command are as high as more than 100,000, he even dares to do it as a princess, and his courage can be said to be extremely big, so even if he is blatantly bullying the king now, Li Longji is not good to immediately issue a decree to punish him, so as to prevent An Lushan from jumping over the wall and doing the evil thing of rebellion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can't punish An Lushan based on this evidence alone, this matter needs more investigation, let's go down!"

Li Longji looked a little tired and asked the ministers to step down.

Li An, Li Shizhi and other ministers all withdrew from the hall very helplessly.

"Li Shilang, everyone let you go back."

Li An stopped, said goodbye to Li Shizhi and the others, and turned back to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"

Li An knew that Li Longji deliberately left him behind, and there must be a lot of things to ask him.

"Li Shilang, you came to the capital from Yingzhou, I heard that it was because the village where you lived was destroyed, and it was the Xi people who did it?"

Li Longji suddenly asked about Ang Lee's experience.

"It's not from the Xi clan, the matter has passed, and Weichen doesn't want to say anything?"

"To be able to destroy a village, apart from the Xi people, who else can there be."

Li Longji sighed and did not continue to ask.

"When Li Shilang was in Yingzhou, An Lushan was already the governor of Yingzhou, and Li Shilang should know An Lushan very well! And how did the local people rely on An Lushan? ”

Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen can't come up with any evidence, how dare he slander the minister in front of His Majesty, today's matter, Your Majesty can send his henchmen to the north to continue the investigation, in this way, you can naturally know An Lushan's character, why do you need Weichen to say anything?"

Of course, Ang Lee would not say something that could not be verified in front of Li Longji, it was meaningless.

"Although Li Shilang didn't say anything, I already understood, by the way, Yan Zhuang, has Li Shilang heard of it?"

Li Longji continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, Yan Zhuang is quite clever, he is An Lushan's confidant, I heard that An Lushan obeyed this person's words, and even slept in the same bed with him."

Li An replied.

"It turns out that Yan Zhuang is An Lushan's confidant, it seems that this matter is indeed related to An Lushan, the person I trust so much, actually ......"

Li Longji looked quite heartbroken, paused, and said, "Does Li Shilang know that I don't immediately deal with An Lushan's hardships?" ”

"What Your Majesty is worried about is nothing more than An Lushan dog jumping over the wall in a hurry and rebelling in Fanyang, which will definitely make Datang experience a big disaster."

Li An pointed out Li Longji's worries sharply.

"Li Shilang is right, I do have concerns in this regard, but Li Shilang thinks, does An Lushan really dare to rebel? If he rebels, how much damage can he cause to Datang? ”

Li Longji was not sure whether An Lushan would really rebel, he was only conservative and did not deal with An Lushan immediately.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to speculate, but An Lushan can even do things that kill the princess and bully the king, once he perceives the danger, it is not impossible to suddenly rebel, as for how much damage can be caused to Datang, if more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command can really obey him, the damage caused to Datang will definitely not be small."

Li An analyzed seriously.

"I plan to reward An Lushan first and transfer him to the capital as the prime minister, does Li Shilang think it is appropriate?"

Li Longji opened his mouth to ask Li An, now, his trust in Li An has surpassed everyone, and even, Gao Lishi and Li Linfu cannot be compared with Li An, after all, Li An's contribution to the Tang Dynasty over the years is too great, all kinds of magical machinery, all invented by Li An, and Li An has been staying in the capital, under his nose, everything he does every day is within his sight, and there is no such thing as worry.

"Since Your Majesty has decided, of course Weichen fully supports it."

Li An already understood Li Longji's true intentions, so he naturally followed Li Longji's thoughts.

After Li An left, Li Longji immediately made three orders, first, to send his henchmen to Fanyang to investigate all the situation in An Lushan, and second, on the condition of defeating Liangfan and making great contributions, he promoted An Lushan to be the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and let Guo Yan, who had arrived in the north, lead the ironclad artillery brigade to safely escort An Lushan to the capital. Third, the railway system was temporarily suspended to prevent the news of the two princesses' return to the capital from quickly spreading to Youzhou, which made An Lushan vigilant.

After the three decrees were issued, all of them immediately went to carry out the tasks assigned by the emperor with the highest efficiency.

After the two princesses returned to the capital, the news spread quickly, but because the two princesses had been hidden in the palace by Li Longji, there were very few people who saw the two princesses, and even the princess's relatives had never seen the princess intact, so there were different opinions on whether the two princesses were still alive or not, and the gossip people in the capital also had different opinions, and even a lot of rumors emerged.

At this time, An Lushan's eldest son An Qingzong was the most nervous, because his father An Lushan had already reported to the court that the two princesses had been killed by Liangfan, and now, if the two princesses returned to the capital alive, wouldn't this be enough to prove that An Lushan was lying? Lying in front of the emperor is a crime of deception!

An Qingzong did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent his henchmen back to Youzhou, preparing to tell An Lushan the news, so that An Lushan could be prepared.

"Childe, the situation has changed, the Chang'an City Railway Station is closed to the people, and only the imperial court can use it, so we can only ride back."

A henchman who was about to take the train to Luoyang City returned to An Qingxu's residence and reported.

"The train station is fine, why is it suddenly suspended at this juncture, is it to prevent us from sending letters?"

An Qingzong was a little surprised, at this time, any wind and grass would make him very nervous.

"Childe, good news, Your Majesty has just issued an order to make meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and to seal the Anjie Shuai as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and to seal the Pingzhang under the Tongzhong Shumen, the holy decree has been issued, and it is being sent to Youzhou immediately."

One of his subordinates ran back to the house to report.

"What, Your Majesty decreed that my father be appointed Prime Minister? How long has it been since the decree was sent? ”

"Childe, it's been about half an hour."

An Qingzong thought for a moment, patted his head, and shouted: "It's not good, my father was calculated, half an hour ago, I obviously heard the sound of the train leaving, but now the train station is suspended, this is to deliberately prevent us, to prevent us from telling our father about the situation of the two princesses returning to the capital alive, the so-called prime minister is just to deprive my father of his military power." ”

"Childe, what should I do! We can't sit still! In case the imperial court really wants to be unfavorable to the marshal, once the marshal arrives in the capital, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of killing, and it will be difficult for the prince to be alone. ”

An Qingzong suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp, and he paced back and forth in the room, beginning to think about countermeasures.

"Thirty-six strategies, taking is the best policy, we must escape the capital immediately, maybe we can meet our father halfway."

An Qingzong immediately made a decision.

After a little preparation, An Qingzong disguised himself as a subordinate, led more than a dozen people out of the city in batches, and quietly fled to the direction of Youzhou.

An Qingzong was held hostage in Chang'an City, and someone from the imperial court monitored him, and after discovering that he had escaped, he immediately reported it to Emperor Li Longji.

Hearing that An Qingzong escaped, Li Longji was furious, he still had a glimmer of hope for An Lushan before, but now it seems that he was wrong, An Qingzong actually ran away like this, and ran without a sound, which made him more sure that An Lushan had a ghost in his heart, and immediately issued an order to let the checkpoints along the way search for passers-by, and An Qingzong must be arrested.

After learning that An Qingzong had escaped, Li An celebrated happily, and immediately told Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er the good news, so that they were also happy.

"An Qingzong really escaped from the capital, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this thief is dead."

Li Hanlu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he planned to assassinate An Qingzong.

"Hanlu, you can't be impulsive! Anqingzong has his own court to deal with it, you don't have to do it. ”

Li An hurriedly explained.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, and it won't affect you at all if something happens."

Li Hanlu had made up his mind and left the capital with four of his subordinates to chase after the fleeing An Qingzong.

Li Ya'er originally planned to follow, but was stopped by Li Hanlu and asked her to stay with Li An.

"Ya'er, this time An Lushan Northern Expedition, how about the loss of the Nu Jun Division?"

"The losses are so great that they are almost non-existent, and the number of troops that my sister can gather is less than five hundred, and there are only more than a hundred warriors left who can fight."

Li Yaer replied with a sad expression.

"Oh, it turns out that the loss is so big, no wonder Han Lu was so angry just now, and he was bent on killing An Qingzong."

Li An nodded understandingly, and continued to ask: "Ya'er, the Nu Jun Department is now dead in name, do you and Hanlu still want to go back?" It's better to stay in Chang'an City! ”

"This ...... I don't know what my sister thinks. ”

Li Ya'er really wanted to stay, but the remaining troops in the north still needed someone to take care of them.

"Forget it, I'll talk about this later, the eldest brother will give you a gift, take it!"

Li An knew that Li Ya'er had been inconvenient recently, so he gave her a large bag of Shu Bao, although this industry had been given to Yang Zhao, but Li An still had a set of machines in his hand.
