Chapter 064 Yang Guifei summons a banquet

It didn't cost anything, just a few words could reverse the established trend of history, and secretly put Yang Guozhong together, burying a thorn in An Lushan, Zhang Xuan felt very comfortable.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, summer goes to autumn, and it has entered the end of September of Tianbao's eleventh year.

Li Linfu has been dead for more than a month, but he has not yet agreed on the name and posthumous seal, because Yang Guozhong and the original Li Linfu party led by **** Lie quarreled, Li Longji was annoyed, so it was temporarily shelved. This shelving may have to be shelved.

And after a long time, the emperor's mind actually faded.

If the emperor didn't mention it, his subordinates didn't dare to mention it, although **** Lie and others hated it in their hearts, but Yang Guozhong suppressed it to death, and there was nothing to be done.

At this time, the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong made the envoys, and An Qingxu, the king of Dongping County, entered Beijing to mourn. An Lushan is high and powerful, and his grace is very strong, and Li Linfu is the only one in the Tang Dynasty who is afraid of him. Li Linfu died suddenly, An Lushan was ecstatic in his heart, but on his face, he still put on a sad posture, and ordered his son An Qingxu to go to Beijing to mourn instead of him.

However, after An Qingxu entered Beijing, he heard the news that Li Linfu was still being held by Yang Guozhong although he died, and immediately changed his mind, and instead of going to Li's house to mourn, he sent someone to Yang's house to give gifts, conveying his father An Lushan's courteous congratulations to Yang Guozhong.

During this time, although Zhang Xuan was closed and studied poetry at home, through Pei Hui, who visited the house from time to time, and Cui Huan, he actually understood and mastered the political information in Chang'an City.

Hearing that An Qingxu brought a heavy gift to the Yang family to flatter, Zhang Xuan didn't take it to heart at all.

An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, two sworn enemies in history, are categorically impossible to form an alliance of interests. You must know that when An Lushan later raised troops, he took the righteous banner of Qing Jun's side to destroy Yang Guozhong.

At the beginning, An Lushan and Yang Guozhong were just a battle of will. An Lushan looked down on Yang Guozhong's prodigal background, and Yang Guozhong was an extremely grudgeful villain, and after gradually gaining power, he continued to participate in An Lushan in front of the emperor to vent his personal anger.

Later, it became a struggle for power. An Lushan has hundreds of thousands of troops, becoming the most powerful feudal town in the world, directly threatening the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, as the spokesperson of the imperial power, Yang Guozhong is naturally worried that An Lushan's tail will not be lost, and he has repeatedly tried to get rid of An Lushan, but unfortunately he has repeatedly failed because of Li Longji's protection.

Zhang Xuan has always believed that Yang Guozhong's greatest "historical achievement" is that he continued to "wear small shoes for An Lushan" after taking power, and never ignored the threat of An Lushan from beginning to end. Some people say that Yang Guozhong forced An Lushan to rebel, but in fact, if there was no check and balance of Yang Guozhong, maybe the Anshi Rebellion would have been greatly advanced.

Of course, for An Lushan, who has different ambitions, whether there is Yang Guozhong or not, it will create a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty is only a matter of time. The crux of the problem is that Li Longji was too mediocre in the later period, which gradually fueled An Lushan's ambitions.

Afternoon.

Zhang Xuan, who took a nap, sat up lazily from the bed, glanced out of the hall, and then exclaimed, "Like smoke and jade." ”

The two little Loli hurriedly ran over, like smoke in front of Ruyu.

"Son, the slave is here." Ruyu took a breath and said with a smile.

"Son, the slave and maid have prepared lotus seed soup, and when the slave and maid wait for the princess to get up, they will use some soup and snacks." Ruyan said softly with a smile, and before Ruyu could react, he climbed onto the bed lightly, and reached out his soft hand to help Zhang Xuan change his clothes.

Ruyu slowed down for half a beat, and looked at Ruyan in a daze to help Zhang Xuan dress skillfully, and saw Zhang Xuan looking at her with a smile, so she climbed into bed in a panic and tied Zhang Xuan's belt.

At this time, a man's dry cough suddenly came from the courtyard.

The subordinate Zhang Li respectfully reported in the courtyard, "Third son, there is a message from the palace from the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang invited An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, the son of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong to the festival, and ordered the prince to enter the palace immediately to accompany the banquet. ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, and said in his heart: Yang Yuhuan invited An Qingxu to a banquet? So, what did she do when she let me into the palace? Don't you want to chant poetry again?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill. The Tang people's favor and obsession with poetry and poetry really made him speechless. This thing, it doesn't hurt to adjust it occasionally, and it is used to "beg for a living" all day long, and it is disgusting to death if you are not tired of it.

"Son, the driver of the palace is waiting at the door." Zhang Zhang was afraid that Zhang Xuan would not pay attention to it, so he hurriedly added another sentence.

"I know, you go, I'll come later." Zhang Xuan said and sat on the bed, letting Ruyu put boots on him, but he took off a sachet that Ruyan had just tied to his waist.

The clothes are not enough incense, and the sachet must be tied around the waist to show that he is suave, which is the consistent attire of the sons and brothers in Chang'an City, but Zhang Xuan does not think so, and nine times out of ten times he will secretly remove the sachet tied to the cigarette, and it is still in the wastepaper basket in the corner.

……

……

Although this was Zhang Xuan's first time entering the palace, he sat in the carriage sent out by the palace, and went all the way through Suzaku Street into the imperial city to Xingqing Palace.

Until the little eunuch who took him into the palace stood under the car and shouted softly, "Xiao Langjun of the Zhang family, Linde Hall has arrived, and get out of the car and follow our family into the interior to reply to Niangniang." ”

Zhang Xuan jumped out of the car silently, but arched his hand to the little eunuch with a smile, and then handed over a small silver cake of about one or two, and said loudly, "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

"This Xiao Langjun of the Zhang family is really an interesting and wonderful person." The little eunuch was stunned at first, then pinched the small silver cake into his cuffs, and led the way with a smile.

Before entering the hall, the little eunuch stopped and looked back at Zhang Xuan and said with a low smile, "Zhang Gongzi, our family's surname is Zhang, our name is Zhang Defu, and our family listens to the errand in front of the mother...... After entering the hall for a while, remember not to lose your manners in front of your mother, and act according to the eyes of our family, our family will not pit Xiao Langjun. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and thanked him again, "Thank you Gonggong Zhang for your advice." Zhang Xuan entered the palace for the first time, if there was anything that he didn't understand the rules, he asked his father-in-law to correct one or two. ”

"It's just about the same. Our family sees that Xiao Langjun has a moderate temperament and elegant temperament, the mother has a gentle temperament, and likes talents the most, as long as it is not too excessive, the mother will not blame it - Xiao Langjun, please follow our family into the palace. ”

Zhang Xuan settled down, and followed the little eunuch Zhang Defu into the magnificent Linde Palace, a palace specially used by Yang Guifei for drinking and entertaining guests.

Between the carved beams and painted columns, the sound of the piano surrounds the beams, and the sound of singing and dancing is endless. Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that the grand banquet in this hall had begun.

Walking through the corner of the hall and looking in, the sheng song and dance in the field are full of sandalwood, and the incense mist is steaming.

In addition to the "host" Yang Yuhuan, there were only two guests present at the banquet in the palace, one was An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan, and the other was Yang Guozhong, the right minister of the court, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the scholar of Jixian Palace.

Yang Yuhuan is in the center, Yang Guozhong is on the left, An Qingxu is on the right, and there is a small desk next to Yang Yuhuan, Zhang Xuan understands in his heart that this is for himself.
