Yan Zhuang is a person who understands the times, and he has a very thorough insight into the situation in the Tang Dynasty, understands the preferences of the current emperor Li Longji, and understands An Lushan's advantages and abilities. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Judging from the current situation, as long as An Lushan can pay a little attention to the influence, he can get a higher position and rights, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Zhuang is desperately loyal to An Lushan and gives advice to An Lushan everywhere.

Of course, if An Lushan insisted on going his own way, unwilling to listen to his advice, he would not be foolish, history records very clearly, after An Lushan became the emperor, became irritable and bent on going his own way, Yan Zhuang was repeatedly reprimanded, for this reason, he colluded with An Qingxu, killed An Lushan, supported An Qingxu to ascend the throne, and monopolized power, becoming the power of the Dayan Empire.

After the Tang army recovered Chang'an and Luoyang, Yan Zhuang surrendered to the Tang army in time and was appointed as Si Nongqing by the Tang Empire, thus saving the day and continuing to serve the Tang Empire.

In other words, Yan Zhuang is a villain, a good interpretation of what it means to be 'a person who knows the times as a handsome', and many people in later generations also took Yan Zhuang as an example and chose to rebel when they encountered danger, which can be regarded as a unique traitor culture in China!

However, this is all a later story, at least at this moment, An Lushan has the potential of a successful person in this era, with a solemn and shrewd vision, he can naturally affirm the future of An Lushan, and follow An Lushan's left and right with a good understanding of current affairs, help An Lushan develop better, and then bring great benefits to himself.

At this moment, Yan Zhuang was surprised to find that An Lushan was actually angry and was ready to teach the captain who was guarding the city gate a lesson.

If it was in Yingzhou City, Yan Zhuang would definitely not care about such a thing, and even the states and counties that passed by along the way, Yan Zhuang didn't think there was anything wrong with An Lushan forcibly asking to open the city gate, but the capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and these captains guarding the city gate were the guards of the emperor.

If you say it lightly, this is called lawlessness and arrogance, and if it is serious, it is offensive to the imperial power and bad intentions.

In case he annoyed Li Longji and gave Li Longji a very bad first impression, it would be more difficult to change this bad first impression in the future, so Yan Zhuang was very glad that he came back in time and stopped Shi Cuigan's recklessness in time, he wanted to tell An Lushan that only by acting humbly and prudently in the capital can he obtain the greatest benefits.

After listening to the solemn reminder and analysis, An Lushan finally woke up.

He suddenly remembered that the purpose of his trip was to invite pets, not to come to the capital to put on a score, and the solemn reminder was too timely.

"Stand down, everyone step back and set up camp."

An Lushan immediately gave the order, and stepped down from the well-defended carriage, he wanted to explain the situation to the captain guarding the city gate, in order to show his obedience to the law.

Those who stayed at the city gate with An Lushan were only Shi Cuigan, Yan Zhuang, Kailu Lieutenant and six personal guards, a total of ten people.

An Lushan dragged his fat body to the gate of the city, looked at the captain guarding the city, and said loudly: "This official Pinglu Jiedu envoy An Lushan, if you block this official outside the city, aren't you afraid that this official will protect you in the future?" ”

An Lushan, who had a strong attitude, stared at the city gate tower with round eyes, as if he was going to swallow the captain guarding the city gate in one gulp, which made Yan Zhuang beside him sweat on his forehead.

What does that mean? It's not enough to retreat and camp, why threaten the loyal captain of the city gate, if this matter spreads, it will be very detrimental to An Lushan's reputation.

Of course, Yan Zhuang would never have imagined that An Lushan did this on purpose, and the purpose of doing this was naturally to pretend to be tempted.

"Marshal An forgives the sin, the night ban is formulated by the imperial court, unless His Majesty is present in person or has His Majesty's holy decree, otherwise, no one can break the night ban, where the duty lies, I hope the festival marshal can understand."

The captain of the city gate replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

In fact, as a small captain, he doesn't want to offend such a big official as An Lushan, which is definitely not conducive to his future development, but the law of the imperial court must be followed, An Lushan is the envoy of the frontier festival, and the third watch in the middle of the night with hundreds of heavily armed men and horses broke into the night ban, which must not be put into the city, otherwise, he will be punished, for the sake of duty, even if he really offends An Lushan, he doesn't care, although he eats this bowl of rice?

"Young man, have you really thought about it, don't let this official enter the capital?"

An Lushan threatened again.

"An Jieshuai forgives his sins, and he can't obey his fate."

The attitude of the captain of the city gate is very resolute, since he is offended, he will be offended to the end, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, who knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing?

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! ”

An Lushan laughed very arrogantly, finished laughing, and said loudly: "Okay, good, worthy of being the general next to His Majesty, loyal to his duties, not afraid of threats, with such a captain guarding the city gate, Your Majesty can rest in peace, haha!" ”

The captain and soldiers on the tower of the city gate were stunned for a moment.

Yan Zhuang reacted the fastest, and immediately understood that An Lushan was remedying for the recklessness just now, so he looked in the direction of the city gate tower and said loudly: "My family Marshal was deliberately tempted just now, just to see if the guards in the capital are loyal, you really did not disappoint the Marshal Jie, it is much better than those cowards along the way." ”

An Lushan and Yan Zhuang glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths smiled slyly, and said loudly: "What is your name, tell this official, and when this official sees His Majesty, I can ask for credit for you." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, guarding the city gate is just a lowly duty, and a lowly position will never dare to take credit."

The captain of the city gate really didn't dare to take credit for this.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wechen is late today, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to see your old man."

An Lushan looked in the direction of Daming Palace, saluted very respectfully, and bent his whole waist into a U-shape, which looked quite funny.

After feeling that he was pious enough, An Lushan slowly retreated, walked away from the city gate, and walked towards the tent a mile away.

"Jie Shuai, your performance just now is really scared to death, and you think you are really angry?"

After returning to the camp, Yan Zhuang was still nervous, and beads of sweat were left on both cheeks.

An Lushan smiled treacherously and said proudly: "Mr. Yan, how did this official perform just now, and can he make up for his previous shortcomings." ”

Yan Zhuang nodded and said: "The marshal has done a very good job, it can be said that he has turned the passive into the active, it is estimated that after tomorrow, the performance of the marshal will spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and it will let His Majesty know that with a good first impression, His Majesty will definitely not treat the marshal badly." ”

"Hahaha......"

An Lushan laughed proudly.

On the second day of entering Chang'an City, Li An got up early, had a simple meal with Kunxiong and Feiyu at a steamed bun shop in Dayefang, and then went to the imperial city, ready to receive the rich wealth rewarded by the imperial court.

Of course, in fact, you can get it yesterday, but because Li An arrived at his house, he felt that it was too dirty and messy, so he decided to clean it well, so he delayed it.

However, the property will not run away by itself, and it will be the same when you receive it, Li An is not a person who regards wealth as his life, so he will naturally not be too urgent.

At the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City, Li An was about to enter, only to see a group of hundreds of soldiers and horses coming over, and the momentum was enough to shock passers-by to avoid on both sides.

Li Ang is not a person who likes to cause trouble, seeing this scene, he glanced at Kunxiong and Feiyu, walked towards the edge of the road, and looked at the team.

"Big brother, it's the Pinglu Army."

"It's actually the Pinglu Army, so isn't this team An Lushan's team."

When this team got a little closer, Li An and the three of them could see it clearly, it was the team of the Pinglu Army, and the Pinglu Army was armed under An Lushan, which made the hearts of the three of them involuntarily feel a little disgusted.

As fifty cavalrymen passed in turn, an armored carriage escorted by a hundred men came into the sight of the three of Lee.

Needless to say, the one sitting in this armored carriage must be An Lushan, the evildoer of Pinglu Jiedu, which made Li An, Kunxiong, and Feiyu all glared at this armored carriage angrily, eager to smash it to pieces.

"An Lushan, a dog thief, actually came to the capital, I really want to kill him with a knife."

Ang Lee clenched his fists.

"Big brother, An Lushan has brought three hundred guards, and it is not easy to kill him."

"Yes! Eldest brother, this is the capital, and it is almost impossible to assassinate An Lushan, unless he leaves the capital and starts halfway. ”

Li An waved his hand lightly and said in a low voice: "Since An Lushan dares to come to the capital, he is fully prepared, let's not think about such a low-level thing as assassination, let's take one step at a time!" ”

The armored carriage paused at the Suzaku Gate, and An Lushan lifted the curtain slightly, revealing the disgusting beast face, glanced at Yan Zhuang, and briefly explained a few words.

Yan Zhuang was careful and let most of the soldiers and horses stay outside, and only let ten guards protect the carriage into the imperial city.

The imperial city is the core of the Tang Empire, of course there will be no assassins in it, An Lushan does not need to let three hundred guards enter the palace, and the policy will definitely not allow it, this is a matter of overreach.

And the carriage is allowed to enter the imperial city, after all, it is too unsightly to be placed outside the door, affecting the majesty of the imperial city, and in the interior of the imperial city, there is a river, and there are several small bridges on the river, called the dismount bridge, and the carriage and the war horse must stop outside the dismount bridge, that is, everyone must dismount and walk through the dismount bridge, otherwise it is disrespectful to the imperial power and will be punished.

The officers and men of the Pinglu Army, under the solemn order, were scattered and deployed in various locations outside the Suzaku Gate, in case they were deployed in one position and caused the situation of obstructing traffic.

"Big brother, Yan Zhuang and Shi Cuigan are in the team, and they are all in."

Li An nodded and said: "Yan Zhuang is an important strategist of An Lushan, Shi Kuo's archery skills are outstanding, and he can protect An Lushan very well, with these two people, it is almost impossible for us to assassinate An Lushan, which requires a great risk." ”

"Big brother, An Lushan and they have already entered, what should we do, do we still go to receive the reward?"

Li An Zhengse said: "The imperial city is not An Lushan's alone, he does his business, and we do our business, all of which interfere." ”

"Big brother, I'm afraid you don't want to see him."

"Yes! Big brother, you can't kill it, it's uncomfortable to look at that fat pig. ”

Li An glanced at the two of them and beckoned: "Now that we are in the capital, these days, it is impossible to think of An Lushan, let's go!" You don't have to avoid him, otherwise, people still think we're afraid of him? ”

When the three of them entered the imperial city, they followed behind An Lushan's carriage, a distance of only more than a hundred steps, and the crunch of the carriage was heard very clearly.

At the side of the Xiama Bridge, An Lushan, supported by a personal guard, stepped off the heavily armed carriage, and let ten guards stay, and walked across the Xiama Bridge with Yan Zhuang and Shi Cuigan.

Looking at An Lushan's fat twisted body, Li An stretched out his right hand, posed as a pistol, and snapped a few times.

If there was really a pistol in his hand, Li An would not hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot An Lushan to death, and then watch his fat body fall into the river to feed the fish.

"Big brother, what does this mean?"

Li Kunxiong followed Ang Lee's example and also shot An Lushan a few times.

"This is called a pistol, it can fire bullets and kill An Lushan, but this is just a gesture, not a real gun."

Li An said regretfully.

"Big brother, what is a pistol, is it very powerful? It can also shoot bullets. ”

Li An rolled his eyes and changed the subject: "Don't talk about it, let's go and receive the reward!" ”

The three of them went to the imperial city to receive the goods rewarded to them by the imperial court, of course, not all of these belongings were in the imperial city, they just went to say hello and tell the court officials where they lived, and soon, all kinds of rewards would be sent to the mansion.

After completing this extremely important matter, Ang Li and the others left the imperial city and returned to the residence of Dayefang.

On the way, they heard about An Lushan's performance in Tonghuamen last night, which surprised the three of them, with the three of them understanding An Lushan, An Lushan is definitely a treacherous villain, but listening to the evaluation of the people in the capital, it seems that An Lushan is quite recognized, which makes Li An and the three of them very angry, secretly scolding An Lushan for being treacherous and using means to invite people's hearts.

"An Lushan, a treacherous man, actually used such despicable means to buy people's hearts, and if you don't know him, do you really think that he is a good person who is loyal to the army and loves the people?"

"An Lushan is a treacherous person, and he has a lot of means, if he lives one more day, the people of Yingzhou will suffer one more day, and he should have been killed earlier."

Kunxiong, Feiyu and Li An, like Li An, already hated An Lushan, and seeing An Lushan, a thief, was actually recognized by the people of the capital, which made them furious.

Li An's anger is stronger than anyone else, after all, his hatred with An Lushan is the greatest, and seeing An Lushan recognized by the people of the capital, of course anger will well-up from the bottom of his heart.

However, Ang Lee will not mess up because of this, An Lushan is more treacherous and hateful, but this world is like this, there are good people and bad people, and it is a person who makes people want to be cut by a thousand cuts, otherwise, how monotonous this world should be! (To be continued.) )
