Li Ya'er returned to the capital with the two princesses all the way, and was busy playing with Guo'er's baby, so naturally she didn't know about the newly popular Hushu Bao on the market, and Li An also accidentally saw Li Ya'er washing the bloodstained silk, so she realized that Li Ya'er had been unwell recently, after all, no one was injured in the entire mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Big brother, what is this, it's so weird."

Li Ya'er tore open a bag of Hushu Bao and opened her curious eyes.

"Ahem...... Bud, haven't you been inconvenient lately? Just use this, just throw it away when you're done. ”

Li An didn't know how to explain, so he could only say implicitly.

"Inconvenient?"

Li Ya'er was stunned for a moment, suddenly blushed her cheeks, and said shyly: "Big brother is so annoying, he actually gave Ya'er such a thing, he is not ashamed." ”

Li An smiled awkwardly, and briefly explained the functions and usage methods of Hushubao, which suddenly made Li Ya'er's little face even redder.

"Big brother, I'll go out first."

Li Ya'er felt too embarrassed, took a large bag of Hu Shubao given to her by Li An, and ran back to her room.

Li An knew that after Li Ya'er returned to his room, he would definitely try it out immediately, smiled, left the mansion, and went to the R&D center, no matter what happened in the imperial court, the R&D work of the R&D center could not be stopped for a moment, and it was necessary to continue to develop and make progress in order to make the Tang Empire develop faster and better.

In the direction of Youzhou, Yan Zhuang became a little agitated, and a group of men and horses he deployed on the north bank of Luokou suddenly sent back very bad news, the raid failed, there were heavy casualties, and many people were captured alive.

These situations are very serious problems for him, which means that his carefully designed plan is very likely to leak out, and once the plan leaks out, Yan Zhuang knows better than anyone how serious the consequences are.

What worries Yan Zhuang the most is that the two princesses of the Tang Dynasty have not yet been searched, and once these two princesses return to the capital alive, his master An Lushan's twists and turns will become a twist and turn for bullying the king.

Whether the branch of the Ironclad Artillery Brigade that went south found and brought back the princess has always been a very big question in Yan Zhuang's mind, which makes him worried.

Of course, he can only carry these worries by himself, because he has promised in front of An Lushan that he will definitely find the bodies of the two princesses, so that An Lushan can make new contributions, and when the matter is still unclear, he naturally does not dare to express the doubts and worries in his heart, so as not to make An Lushan angry and dissatisfied with him.

In addition, Yan Zhuang is a person who understands the times, he only does things that are beneficial to himself, and he also thought about being loyal to the emperor and being a good courtier of the emperor, but he did not have the opportunity to contact the emperor, and An Lushan is cunning and talented, and he can be regarded as a good object to be attached to, so he chose to attach himself to An Lushan.

If An Lushan is about to fall, he will definitely not be loyal to An Lushan, but will choose to protect himself, even if he kills An Lushan, he will not hesitate to do so, this is the representative of Yan Zhuang who knows the times.

The main force of Guo Yan's ironclad artillery brigade drove north, and arrived in Youzhou after many days, and was ready to stop the giant training and exercises, so that the main officials of Hebei Province could see the current national strength and the latest military crystallization of the Tang Empire.

As the envoy of Fanyang and Pinglu towns, An Lushan was naturally on the first list of invitees, and Shi Siming, Yan Zhuang and others also followed to visit.

For them who have stayed far away from the capital for a long time, they have naturally never seen an ironclad artillery car, and they can be regarded as a long time to see if they come to visit.

"I've seen Shuai An Jie."

Guo Yang's position is far behind An Lushan, so he naturally needs to salute An Lushan.

"Hahahaha! Guo Lushuai, this is the ironclad artillery car! What a majesty! Can Ben Shuai go in and have a look? ”

An Lushan laughed arrogantly.

"Of course you can, Your Majesty said, officials above the seventh grade of the Tang Dynasty can enter the interior of the ironclad artillery car to visit, and you can also take a ride to experience it, An Jieshuai, please inside."

Of course, Guo Yang will not refuse An Lushan, such a big guy, after anyone sees it, he has no ability to imitate, only the R&D center of Datang Chang'an City has the ability to manufacture such a huge advanced weapon.

And the reason why ordinary people are not allowed to enter the interior to visit is because there are too many people, and if every citizen enters the inside of the ironclad gun car to visit, it will be chaotic.

An Lushan and his subordinate generals respectively entered the interior of the five ironclad artillery trucks to visit, and all of them saw the advanced breech guns and reliable anti-recoil devices inside the ironclad artillery trucks, and sighed that the strength of the ironclad artillery trucks was far stronger than their Fanyang artillery brigade.

"Hahaha! It's a good thing! This iron pimple must be invincible on the battlefield, I really don't know when our Fan Yang will be able to equip this powerful weapon. ”

An Lushan made no secret of his desire for ironclad artillery vehicles.

"An Jieshuai doesn't need to worry, more ironclad artillery trucks are being built in the capital, and in the future, maybe the towns will be equipped."

Guo Yan replied with a smile.

"What is this, why is there no artillery?"

An Lushan curiously entered the inside of the ironclad command car, and praised it with great satisfaction, of course, he was also very greedy, after all, these things are very good, but he can't have them, this feeling is of course very uncomfortable.

"An Jieshuai, it's better to sit inside and walk around the city and experience the feeling."

Guo Yan suggested very generously.

"Huh! Okay, Yan Zhuang, Shi Siming, let's get in the car together. ”

An Lushan did not refuse, on his territory, he still had nothing to fear.

Several ironclad command vehicles, carrying a group of officials from An Lushan and Fan Yang Jiedu, ran around Youzhou City for a whole long time, and returned to the same place to stop.

"An Jieshuai, how do you feel?"

"Okay, this ironclad car is really good, I really want one, so that I don't have to worry about assassins anymore when I go out, haha!"

An Lushan seemed very sincere and did not hide it in the slightest.

After a period of casual greetings, the envoys sent by the imperial court had arrived in Youzhou, and immediately read out the emperor's holy decree, promoted An Lushan to be the squire of the Ministry of Rites, and sealed the Pingzhang under the Tongzhong Shumen, and An Lushan's original position of the two towns has not changed, but Shi Siming has been added as a deputy position, temporarily replacing An Lushan to manage the two towns of Fanyang and Pinglu.

Moreover, An Lushan was required to go to the capital as soon as possible to take up his post, and the ironclad artillery brigade trained in the north was responsible for escorting.

When he first heard the reward from the imperial court, An Lushan was naturally surprised, thinking that the emperor was commending himself for his meritorious service in fighting the two Tibetans, but after thinking about it carefully, he was a little distressed, after all, he was very suitable for staying away from the palace to be a feudal official, if he really went to the capital to be the prime minister, with his ability, he would not be able to continue to make meritorious contributions to the emperor, nor could he collect all kinds of rare beasts to contribute to the emperor, so it was a matter of time before he fell out of favor.

"Congratulations to An Jieshuai, who has ascended to the position of prime minister, and has also received a holy decree to escort An Jieshuai to the capital in absolute safety."

Guo Yang very generously handed over the holy decree he received to An Lushan, which was Li Longji's will, asking him to send An Lushan back to the capital safely.

An Lushan read the emperor's decree to Guo Yang, and he didn't doubt the emperor at all, but he just didn't want to go to the capital to serve, but if he openly resisted the decree, it would not work.

"The handover work is quite complicated, and Ben Shuai needs to deal with it first, at least tomorrow before he can leave."

An Lushan could only resort to delaying the army, temporarily stabilizing Guo Yan, and then go back to discuss with his subordinates and staff, listen to their opinions, and then make plans.

Of course, Guo Yan couldn't tie An Lushan to the capital, so he had to agree to let An Lushan stay for one more day, and camp outside the city, let the soldiers check the vehicles, and prepare to escort An Lushan back to Beijing on the second day.

Regarding the emperor's sudden addition of An Lushan and his transfer to the capital, Guo Yang naturally knew what was going on, but he pretended not to know anything on the surface, and congratulated An Lushan very sincerely on his promotion, so as to completely stabilize this annoying guy.

After An Lushan returned to the city, he immediately summoned his confidants, generals and staff, and prepared to analyze with them the matter of going to the capital to serve as prime minister, Shi Siming, Yan Zhuang and other core staff members were all among them.

Since he learned that the emperor ordered An Lushan to enter Beijing, Yan Zhuang's face was a little ugly, he had a very bad premonition, this is an intuition, but Yan Zhuang's intuition is often very reliable, he felt that the emperor suddenly let An Lushan, a Hu person, enter the capital as a phase, very abnormal, and the reason for this abnormal situation is likely to be because the emperor knows something, combined with the recent period, the various situations that have occurred, after reasonable speculation, Yan Zhuang came to the conclusion that he was afraid.

He had enough reason to believe that the ironclad artillery brigade that suddenly went south a few days ago was to escort the princess back to the capital, and now, the princess is very likely to have arrived in the capital.

Yan Zhuang didn't dare to tell An Lushan about his speculation, because it was his idea to attack Liangfan, and the content of the twist was also his intention, as well as the search for the two princesses, Yan Zhuang also made a package ticket, if he told An Lushan about his speculation, it would inevitably cause An Lushan's great anger, and even, it was possible to kill him in a rage.

Yan Zhuang, who was worried in his heart, began to think quickly about countermeasures to overcome the current crisis.

An Lushan's other staff and generals did not have such worries as Yan Zhuang at all, and many people did not understand the specific situation, but blindly congratulated An Lushan on his ascension, and felt that there was nothing wrong with An Lushan entering Beijing as the prime minister, so that they could be better taken care of, after all, is there anyone in the court who is easy to do?

Most of his subordinates expressed their support and congratulations to go to the capital to become the prime minister, but An Lushan himself was 10,000 reluctant, seeing that his subordinates all supported him, and no one thought about an excuse for him, he was very dissatisfied.

Moreover, An Lushan can mix in the Tang officialdom for so many years, and he also has a certain degree of officialdom survivability, he always has a very bad premonition, and always feels that the emperor does not let him lead troops, and let himself enter Beijing as the prime minister is a little strange, after reading Guo Yang's holy decree, he has no doubt about the emperor for a short time, but after thinking about it calmly, he still feels that there is something wrong.

"There has been no news from the capital for many days, is there something wrong, Da Lang has always been very punctual, it is absolutely impossible not to send someone back for so long."

An Lushan looked suspicious and found an abnormal situation.

Of course, this is because the railway from Chang'an City to Luoyang City has been suspended, and the flow of personnel has become extremely inconvenient, so it is impossible to return on time.

"That's right! The eldest brother has always been punctual, and there was no news back the day before yesterday or today, even if there is no major event in the capital, it should be reported safe! ”

An Qingxu also felt a little abnormal, and echoed.

"Jie Shuai, you don't know a few big characters, it's okay to be a big handsome, if you become a prime minister and read books all day long, how can this be! It's better to get rid of the prime minister and let someone else be it! ”

One of the henchmen said rudely.

The more Yan Zhuang thought about it, the more he felt that there was a mistake in his plan, An Lushan might have been suspected by the emperor, and once the news of the two princesses came back from the capital, even if An Lushan didn't kill him, he would definitely not spare himself, at least he would have no future with An Lushan, after all, it was too miserable to pit the master.

"Jieshuai, Your Majesty's holy decree cannot be disobeyed, if Jieshuai really feels that he is not suitable to be the prime minister, he can plead to His Majesty in person, as long as His Majesty thinks it is reasonable, he will definitely let Jieshuai come back and continue to guard Fanyang."

Yan Zhuang's heart was horizontal, and he decided to persuade An Lushan to enter Beijing, once the emperor asked for the guilt, he could completely push everything away, and put all the basins on An Lushan's head, so as to save himself, and even rely on his three-inch tongue to directly win the emperor's trust, and it is not impossible to become a favorite of the emperor's side from now on.

"What Mr. Yan said is reasonable, Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, Guo Yan is waiting outside the city, if you don't go to the capital, it will be a disobedience to the decree."

"Jie Shuai, you better go this way! It's a big deal to talk to the emperor and come back. ”

Several subordinates were brainwashed by Yan Zhuang and opened their mouths to persuade them.

An Lushan himself was hesitant, seeing that Yan Zhuang said so, he had to agree to go to the capital, and let his subordinates prepare well, although Guo Yan had a large number of ironclad artillery vehicles under his command, which could absolutely guarantee his safety, but he still trusted his people more and handed over all the safety to Guo Yang, he was very uneasy.

An Lushan had been to the capital once, and this time he went to the capital, he still had to bring enough 1,000 elite guards to ensure his absolute safety.

After preparing for a night, An Lushan rode his own ironclad carriage, under the protection of a thousand elite soldiers and horses, and headed towards the direction of the capital, Guo Yang's team was divided into two parts, the main force led the way in front, and kept a distance of thirty miles from An Lushan, only a few ironclad command vehicles, followed near An Lushan, in order to ensure the absolute safety of An Lushan in case of danger.

Along the way, An Lushan has been thinking about a problem, that is, how to remove the position of prime minister and return to his position as the commander of the army.
