He also gave Buzheng Fang a mansion, dozens of slaves and maids, and sealed the post of imperial historian, holding a plate of cherries given by the emperor, An Lushan happily retired.

"San Lang, you don't let Lushan go back to Fanyang, so scared that he runs to the palace every once in a while, although there is a reward every time, but he still can't settle down, just let him go back as soon as possible."

"Well, don't be in a hurry, it's rare for Lushan to live in Chang'an, so you have to go back after the Shangsi and the Longxing Temple." Xuanzong didn't want Yuhuan to know too much about the court, not that he didn't trust her, in Xuanzong's heart, Yuhuan had better always be a fairy who only knew music and dance, and didn't care about the mundane things in the world.

"Aren't you afraid that Lushan will be suspicious? Besides, people gossip too. Yuhuan opened a pair of wonderful eyes, very puzzled.

"Huh? Gossip? Who is it? Xuanzong began to be confused, what happened to Concubine Ai today? Usually she always ignores these things, is someone in the back to deliver the message?

"Nope. It's just that the concubines feel that the saint is too fond of Lushan, and my court is full of talents, so don't let Lushan chill the hearts of other courtiers. Yuhuan said this, in fact, because two days ago, I happened to hear two little palace maids discussing this matter, saying that as long as the king of Dongping County entered the palace, the saint and the concubine Niangniang would personally get up to greet him, and there was no second person in the whole country of the Tang Dynasty who had this honor. Yuhuan thought about it, it is indeed the same, if you don't balance it, the Yang clan who is an official in the court by herself, but she doesn't know what she will think of herself.

Xuanzong also felt that there was some truth after hearing this, it was actually not a big deal to reward some property and false titles to An Lushan, but it was really not possible to chill the hearts of other close ministers Aiqing, people, they would compare. Yuhuan said these words to himself today, presumably Guozhong looked at Lushan unpleasantly, alas!

"Concubine Ai is reasonable, and I will get it." Xuanzong took Yuhuan's hand, "Don't talk about this today, accompany me to the pear orchard." ”

Yuhuan meekly agreed, and sure enough, he didn't bring up the topic again. It's just that Xuanzong has already calculated it in his own heart.

Balance, the art of the emperor is balance. Xuanzong is already a sixty-five-year-old man, and his reign time is close to forty years. But today's balance, Xuanzong is unwilling to find it back in Yang Guozhong.

If Yang Guozhong was rewarded at this time, and the officials of the three provinces and six departments who saw the wind and the rudder did not immediately fall to him, where would Li Linfu still be able to hold on? Isn't that a mess?

"Ai Concubine, Yang Qing hasn't been in the palace for a few days, right?" Xuanzong opened his mouth casually.

Yuhuan was slightly stunned and smiled: "Yes, didn't the Holy Lord let him recuperate at home with peace of mind?" ”

"Humph!" Xuanzong pretended to be angry, "This kid has no conscience!" He didn't have a leg injury, I also gave him a jade pendant early in the morning to let him enter and leave the palace freely, and I don't know how to be clever and diligent, how can I say that I am also his uncle? Why don't you know how to be filial! ”

Yuhuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, yes, what San Lang said is extremely true!" Qing'er, this kid is good at everything, but his brain can't turn around. According to the Holy Lord's opinion, what should he do to barely be regarded as a clever and diligent filial piety? ”

Xuanzong made a straight face: "Even if it is on weekdays, he is also busy in Jian Yuwei." But now that he is recuperating at home, why don't you say that he always thinks about coming to the palace to see his aunt? It's a shame that Concubine Ai still loves him so much! ”

What kind of character Yuhuan is, he naturally listens to the strings, and is willing to follow these words: "It is true that the concubine loves him, but the most distressing thing is Xiao Juan'er's girl." After Qing'er married this little Kexin, even she didn't come often, and the concubine really missed her. Is this good, tomorrow's concubine will Xuan Xiaojuan'er take her husband to the palace for a walk, and the saint will reward her little husband and wife for a family banquet? ”

"Hehe, that's right!" Xuanzong smiled and looked at Yuhuan who was smiling coquettishly, "Just let Yang Gongyuan enter the palace with his wife, the six candidate officials he invited last time are also very heartfelt, and they will be rewarded tomorrow!" ”

Lin Zhaoyin has been following behind with his body bent, and when he heard this, he would bow his head and smile, Uncle Guo would not be able to count on it, but in the end, this beautiful thing was not for the Yang family? No wonder the folk say: "Don't be sad when you give birth to a girl, don't like a boy." Youyun: "Men don't make marquis women concubines, but women are on the lintel of the door." ”

I was thinking about it interestingly, but I heard the noble concubine Niangniang say in front of me: "Gonggong Lin, I bother you to go out of the palace, and ask Lord Yang Wang and General Yang Qing to bring their wives to the palace for a family banquet tomorrow." ”

"The old slave obeys!"

In the hut of the Yang Mansion, Yang Qingzheng was chatting with Gao Pu about An Lushan's recent moves.

An Lushan has been in Chang'an for almost a month, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have left Fan Yang's big mess and be happy in the capital, but the news that Yanxi inquired about was that the king of Dongping County was a little unhappy. What do you think about this matter, sir? ”

"Happy?" Gao Pu smiled faintly, "I'm afraid I can't help myself." ”

"How?"

Although An Lushan is in a high position, there are not a few people in the capital who regard him as a thorn in their side. How can he be at ease when he leaves his old nest? I guess the Holy One must have kept him. ”

"Sir is extremely analytical." Yang Qing's mind was racing fast, "Presumably, in this extraordinary period, the Holy Lord will feel that a Dongping County King who is stranded in Chang'an City will be more worry-free than a General An who has a heavy army in the northern Xinjiang." But in this way, it is cheaper for this fat man! ”

Gao Pu ignored Yang Qing's ridicule and asked movingly, "Cheap?" What's going on? ”

Yang Qingjian frowned: "Ah, I forgot to tell Mr. It is said that in the past few days, An Lushan will enter the palace every other day to see the saint and the concubine Niangniang, and if you enter, you must ask for something, and you must be allowed to ask for it, although the rewards are some gold and silver property and false titles, but it also makes his status more like the sun and the sky, and it is indispensable! ”

"Sure enough!" Gao Pu pondered for a moment and sighed with hatred, "This move is to invite favor to the saints, most of them are to win favor with coquettishness, stupidity and charm; secondly, he can confuse everyone, thinking that he is just a courtier and has no ambition; Third, you can also avoid the right phase or Jiwen's co-optation, and avoid the jealousy of the saints. It's a good plan to kill three birds with one stone! ”

"Gwen's wooing?" Yang Qing had heard the name of the cool official Jiwen, but he didn't know that he still had this plan.

"Gongzi didn't know that when An Lushan went to Beijing last year to ask for the post of Hebei interview envoy, Ji Wen had secretly invited him, hoping to get An Lushan as an external force, in order to seek the position of prime minister in the future. Since then, he has written back and forth many times, although An Lushan looks down on the Jiwen people and speaks lightly, but he doesn't want to offend such a villain, and has always had a vague attitude. Ji Wen is scheming and has a bad character, and Childe must be careful of this person in the future. ”

"Yes, Yang Qing remembers Mr. Teachings." Yang Qing respectfully agreed, and then asked, "Do you think that Mr. needs to do something about An Lushan's recent actions?" ”

Gao Pu tapped his finger on the desk, and slowly responded: "Although the foundation of Gongzi is still too shallow, there is one thing that is the same as An Lushan, that is, everything you do comes from the favor and appreciation of the saints. Since the prince and the second young lady have a close relationship with the saint and the concubine, you might as well take advantage of the time now and go to the palace to walk around more......"

Before the words fell, a gentle knock on the door sounded, and Zhang Nan pushed the door in: "Son, Gonggong Lin in the palace is here to pass the word, and the concubine Niangniang invites the old lady and the young lady to enter the palace for a family banquet tomorrow." ”

Yang Qing was stunned, and then smiled at Gao Pu, he was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, and he could come whatever he wanted......
