Yang Guozhong's series of actions in the court, Wang Yuan, who was far away in Jiannan, was actually clear. Mrs. Qin Guo wrote several letters to Wang Yuan, informing Wang Yuan of Yang Guozhong's actions, hoping that Wang Yuan could persuade Yang Guozhong to restrain himself. Wang Yuan did write a letter to Yang Guozhong, persuading him not to be so fierce and not to be too strong, but to be open-minded and tolerant. In addition, we should think of ways to do some meritorious deeds, so that we can convince the public, instead of relying on power to coerce ministers to rely on themselves.

However, at this time, how could Yang Guozhong listen to such words, and immediately wrote back to Wang Yuan to reprimand him not only did not give him support, but said such things later. The letter not only did not repent, but asked Wang Yuan to seconded the matter of liquidating Li Linfu, asking Wang Yuan to expose how Li Linfu instructed Wang Ji to hunt down and persecute Wang Yuan after the Pear Blossom Poetry Meeting, so as to prove the fact that Li Linfu was jealous and jealous and cruel and domineering.

How could Wang Yuan go to such troubled waters, and replied politely refusal, saying that he was too busy with military affairs to take care of such a thing. After that, Yang Guozhong replied to Wang Yuan again, this time Yang Guozhong was furious, and counted his favor for Wang Yuan in the letter, blaming Wang Yuan for not knowing what to do, and he couldn't wait to point his nose and scold Wang Yuan for being ungrateful. In the words, he threatened Wang Yuan and said that he could either promote Wang Yuan or destroy Wang Yuan, hoping that Wang Yuan would recognize the situation and not think that he had contributed to himself and be self-righteous.

Wang Yuan sighed after receiving the letter. Wang Yuan knew that Yang Guozhong had embarked on the road of no return, and no one could persuade him at this time. Wang Yuan didn't want to offend Yang Guozhong too much, not to meet him, but to build the Jiannan Army and the Longyou Army needed a lot of resources, and Yang Guozhong was the supplier of these resources. Wang Yuan

Wang Yuan wrote a letter to Mrs. Qin Guo, attaching Yang Guozhong's letter to it. The purpose of this was to tell Mrs. Qin Guo that she was no longer able to persuade Yang Guozhong to relent, not that she did not do her best. In addition, he also told Mrs. Qin Guo that Yang Guozhong was already very dissatisfied with him, and hinted that Mrs. Qin Guo would make some mediation in the middle. At least Yang Guozhong couldn't really cancel the supply of a large amount of supplies to the Jiannan Army and the Longyou Army in a fit of anger, which was the last thing Wang Yuan wanted to see. Although this is a bit compromised, Wang Yuan is willing to compromise, because he knows that now is a race against time, and every extra day, one more resource, one more guarantee in the future. For the sake of himself, his family, and everyone around him, Wang Yuan would rather swallow his anger.

The matter of liquidating Li Linfu came to an end, Yang Guozhong achieved his goal, and the government and the opposition were also in awe of him. However, Yang Guozhong was not satisfied, he knew that he had not been able to control the whole situation, others didn't talk about it, and that An Lushan alone made him hate itchy.

Although An Lushan did not say a word in the process of liquidating Li Linfu by himself, he neither stopped nor expressed his approval. But Yang Guozhong knew that once he had the opportunity, An Lushan would definitely fight back against him. And this person has always been favored by Xuanzong, Xuanzong can listen to anything he says, but as soon as he mentioned An Lushan, Xuanzong frowned and scolded himself, saying that he couldn't tolerate people, which made Yang Guozhong really angry.

The last time I cut the supply of military supplies to An Lushan, I actually couldn't be considered successful. Although some of them were cut, Xuanzong came forward to protect An Lushan, but he still failed to achieve the goal of completely reducing military spending. This made Yang Guozhong realize that if His Majesty wants to obey his words, he must except An Lushan, otherwise if His Majesty believes An Lushan's words and is dissatisfied with him one day, then everything he says he has will disappear.

In view of this, in July, Yang Guozhong began to plan a plan to bring down An Lushan. After less than half a month of silence in the imperial court, on the 10th day of the first month of July, Yang Guozhong instructed the official to come up with an accusation, which accused the story of some interactions between the dead Li Linfu and An Lushan. Count some of the secret affairs between An Lushan and Li Linfu, the exchange of money, and the exchange of letters. Although there is no specific dirty deal, the intention of this accusation is to express that there is a dirty affair between Li Linfu, who has been convicted of conspiracy, and An Lushan, who has a heavy army, and implies that Xuanzong is his accomplice if Li Linfu is the one who intends to rebel.

Xuanzong was skeptical, but soon after, Yang Guozhong provided conclusive evidence. It was found that among Li Linfu's adopted sons was a man named Absi. Turkic rebel general. And after the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, this person was once transferred to the capital by Li Linfu to serve in the forbidden army. After Li Linfu's death, this person fled the capital and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and returned to the Turks. The evidence shows that there are many secret discussions between Li Linfu and this Absi, and there is a suspicion of rebellion in Chang'an. And the reason why this Absi and Li Linfu were able to make friends was precisely because of An Lushan's introduction, so it can be inferred that An Lushan must also know the plot of these two people.

As soon as this evidence was provided, Xuanzong finally felt that this matter was very important, because if An Lushan was really Li Linfu's accomplice in his intention to rebel, then the problem would be serious. But fortunately, Xuanzong was not old and confused after all, he was cautious about this matter and did not believe it 100%. He sternly ordered Yang Guozhong not to spread the matter, and he wanted to verify it in person.

Xuanzong's method of verification was very simple, he wanted to summon An Lushan into Beijing. If An Lushan did have a plot, then after Li Linfu's attempt to rebel was exposed, An Lushan should not dare to return to Chang'an. If he resists the decree and does not return to Chang'an, it means that he has a ghost in his heart, and if he dares to return to Chang'an, it means that he has nothing to do with this matter. Xuanzong used this extremely simple way to judge whether An Lushan was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and it has to be said that although this method is simple, it is often the most effective. At least that's what Xuanzong thinks.

However, everyone underestimated An Lushan's guts. An Lushan, who was already preparing to make a move, made a bold decision to go to Chang'an in order to gain the last time to prepare. In fact, An Lushan received Xuanzong's will to summon him to Beijing, and his heart was like a mirror, and he knew that it must be Yang Guozhong who started to do it to himself. But An Lushan is really not ready, he is fighting with the Khitans, the Luo people, the Murwei people and even the Dong. Some of the Turkic tribes consulted in close consultation and negotiated an agreement with them before they could raise troops. An Lushan seems to be rude, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, he knows that with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, it may not be enough to succeed, so he does not hesitate to use the division of land and property after the completion of the matter as a condition, envelop these Hu tribes in the north who are eyeing the Tang Dynasty, and use their strength to make his success more certain.

And now that the matter has not been negotiated, His Majesty summoned himself to Beijing, and although An Lushan was frightened in his heart, he still bravely embarked on the road to Chang'an. This time, An Lushan brought a lot of gifts to Xuanzong and the concubine, because he knew that this was the last time he would honor Xuanzong and the concubine, and then he would be their enemy. Unless he dies in Chang'an this time, it is impossible for him to return to Chang'an. Of course, there is only one exception, that is, on the day he occupied Chang'an, he commanded hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen into Chang'an.

In mid-August, An Lushan arrived in Chang'an City. Yang Guozhong was very surprised by An Lushan's arrival, because Yang Guozhong didn't know anything about Xuanzong's summoning An Lushan to Beijing. When he learned that An Lushan had entered Beijing, Yang Guozhong immediately realized that this was Xuanzong testing An Lushan's loyalty. In fact, it is a response to his own suggestion that An Lushan intends to rebel. And An Lushan actually dared to come to the capital, then His Majesty must be relieved. Because he used the same method once before, that time An Lushan also came to the capital proudly, and finally brought himself a reprimand and scolding from Xuanzong.

But Yang Guozhong was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, knowing that Xuanzong had relieved his doubts about An Lushan, Yang Guozhong still entered the palace to see Xuanzong that night. In Xuanzong's dormitory, Yang Guozhong met Xuanzong. At that time, Xuanzong was having wine and food in front of him, and he seemed to be pouring himself a drink. However, Yang Guozhong did not notice that there were actually two wine cups and chopsticks on the case, and directly proposed to Xuanzong that An Lushan should be left in the capital or killed on the spot to avoid future troubles. Bitterly Chen An Lushan's plot is wrong, and this time coming to Beijing is an excellent opportunity to kill him, and he can't let the tiger return to the mountains.

However, what he didn't expect was that An Lushan was hiding behind the curtain at this time. Before that, he was drinking with Xuanzong, making Xuanzong laugh. When Yang Guozhong came to see him, Xuanzong didn't want the two to quarrel in front of him, so he asked An Lushan to take refuge behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, Yang Guozhong's words of calculation behind him all came into An Lushan's ears.

Xuanzong was also very embarrassed, but he could only pretend to be calm. After taking Yang Guozhong away, An Lushan had already taken off all the official robes and hats on his body when he came out from behind the curtain, and knelt on the ground with his upper body covered with fat and scars.

Xuanzong was shocked and asked why, and An Lushan tearfully begged Xuanzong to kill himself for the stability of the court, so as not to disagree and the court to be turbulent. Through another handful of snot and a handful of tears, he described how he got His Majesty's appreciation from a Hu man, and guarded the border town for His Majesty for more than ten years, how he was not afraid of death or hardship to repay His Majesty's kindness, and obviously had the opportunity to enter Beijing as an official, but he was willing to suffer from the wind and frost in the border town, just to repay His Majesty's kindness. He also said that he had worked hard to kill the enemy, and he had not shed a single tear from the wounds of the sword, but now he was suspicious behind his back, but his life was worse than death. In the end, he asked Xuanzong to give himself a good time, so as not to be splashed with dirty water and ruin his reputation.

I have to say that in addition to being a careerist, An Lushan is also a good actor. He had a complete insight into Xuanzong's psychology and knew that he could impress Xuanzong the most in this way. Sure enough, Xuanzong was moved by what he said, and personally helped him up and dressed him. comforted him and said that he would never believe rumors from outside, and knew that An Lushan was a loyal person. At the same time, he also spoke for Yang Guozhong, saying that Yang Guozhong listened to other people's words and said these words, and he would thoroughly investigate the matter and bring the rumor-mongers to justice.

In the end, An Lushan not only won Xuanzong's sympathy with his tears and acting skills, but also had a personal purple jade pendant rewarded by Xuanzong when he left the palace. At the same time, he also received a promise from Xuanzong to vigorously expand the Northeast Frontier Army. Because An Lushan told Xuanzong an ambitious plan, that is, to prepare to lead the Northern Expedition in the coming year and completely wipe out the East. The Turks and Khitans pushed the territory of the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles north.

An Lushan knew in his heart that the land of Chang'an could not stay for a long time, and this trip was already a ghost gate, so he borrowed the urgency of the border town and the embarrassing quarrel when he didn't want to face Xiangguo, and asked to leave the capital. Xuanzong agreed to him.

The next day, Yang Guozhong learned the news that An Lushan had left, and he was stunned for a long time, stomping his feet and scolding.
