After the dance, An Lushan's face turned pale and panting. A few months ago, Wang Yuan had seen him dance a Hu Xuan dance, and An Lushan at that time was fat but flexible. After a few months, An Lushan's dancing skills have obviously regressed a lot, or his body has deteriorated a lot. He was so fat, he was fatter than he had been a few months ago, and his belly was drooping, like a woman who was pregnant in October.

Everyone applauded, and Yang Guozhong shouted the most, because he knew that Wang Yuan was deliberately tidying up An Lushan. Although it is impossible to launch an attack on An Lushan at this time, it is quite relieving to play tricks.

After An Lushan returned to his seat, Xuanzong ordered the chamberlain to wring a hot towel to wipe An Lushan's sweat, which shows Xuanzong's love for An Lushan. An Lushan wiped his sweat and gasped for a long time, and drank a few sips of hot tea, only then did he slowly recover, and an innocent smile rippled on his face.

Xuanzong turned to Wang Yuan and smiled: "This matter is over, and there is another matter about you." Wang Yuan, just now I was discussing with the two Xiangguo about the victory of the two wars with the Xi people and the Turks. When it comes to your performance, the two Xiangguo and Lushan are full of admiration. Zuo Xiang even wanted to recommend you to be the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu to participate in the crusade of Nanzhao, Li Xiangguo and An Lushan also said that it was feasible, I want to know what you mean, and I will respect your wishes. ”

Wang Yuan was very surprised, of course he knew that Yang Guozhong would recommend him today, but he thought that this matter would be obstructed. Not to mention other reasons, just from the perspective of knowing that the crusade against Nanzhao had failed, and Yang Guozhong was anxious to reverse the situation, Li Linfu would not agree to send troops or send generals to reinforce. Or that any action that has the potential to have an impact on the situation will be thwarted. What he didn't expect was that Li Linfu and An Lushan actually agreed, which made Wang Yuan feel a hint of conspiracy.

Wang Yuan is understandable for thinking so, but in fact, his thoughts are purely superfluous. To a certain extent, Wang Yuan himself took this victory over the Xi and Turks too seriously, and in the eyes of Li Linfu and An Lushan, these two victories were just a coincidence of luck. In fact, most of the people in the court thought the same way.

If a young man from a city background is said to be a great leader, these two victories alone are not enough to convince the public. In everyone's opinion, unless he is a genius, no one who is in charge of a leading general will really succeed after dozens or even hundreds of battles. Once the success is achieved, it is how many baptisms of blood and fire are needed to make a person.

And Wang Yuan's two victories, although they are very amazing, are not enough to conclude that Wang Yuan is a general based on this, which is obviously premature. When a three-year-old child fights with an adult, as long as he is lucky and hits the key point with one punch, it is still possible to defeat the opponent.

The Nanzhao State is not a Xi and Turkic, and the Nanzhao State can exist under the heavy pressure of the Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, how can it be destroyed so easily. This is also the reason why Li Linfu did not oppose when Yang Guozhong wanted to crusade against Nanzhao. Yang Guozhong's failure was predictable, and Li Linfu knew it very well in his heart.

In fact, after Li Linfu heard Yang Guozhong's words of recommending Wang Yuan to Jiannan to be the deputy envoy of Jiedu, he almost laughed out loud in the hall. Obviously, the battle against Nanzhao has reached the point of exhaustion, Yang Guozhong has nothing to do, and there is no one around him, so he has to regard this Wang Yuan, who won the battle by luck, as the last straw, which is really ridiculous and ridiculous.

On the other hand, Li Linfu knows where Wang Yuan's strengths lie. Wang Yuan started from appearing in his field of vision, and the trajectory along the way really made Li Linfu look at him with admiration. Yang Shenjin's death has always been related to Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong obviously has no ability to do it seamlessly, it can only be planned by this Wang Yuan in secret. In private, the secret investigation launched by Li Linfu also constantly pointed the finger at Wang Yuan, but it was not enough to identify him.

The more difficult it is to find out, the more it shows that this plan is clever, and the more it makes Li Linfu a little jealous of Wang Yuan. Therefore, Wang Yuan's stay by Yang Guozhong's side is Li Linfu's most fearful move, and he doesn't want Yang Guozhong to have such a person by his side to give him advice. And now Yang Guozhong actually wants to take this person's shortcomings, give up this person's strengths, and send this only person around him who can help him make ideas to the battlefield of the crusade against Nanzhaoguo, which Li Linfu can't ask for. So as soon as Yang Guozhong proposed it, Li Linfu agreed almost immediately, which made Yang Guozhong feel very strange.

As for An Lushan's reason for agreeing, it was even simpler, he just didn't want to offend any of the left and right ministers, and he had to entrap both of them at present. The relationship with Yang Guozhong is a little unharmonious, and it just happened that this time he sent a favor. As for whether Wang Yuan should be the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, An Lushan didn't care at all, and he didn't feel that Wang Yuan was his opponent, even if this person had just escaped from his encirclement. An Lushan would not ruin his own big things for such a thing.

Although he didn't understand what he meant, but this matter has been on the bow for ten years, Wang Yuan bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to say that he is a general, but as long as His Majesty trusts and the court trusts, the minister will not give up when he goes to the soup and fights the fire." ”

Xuanzong was surprised: "You actually agreed, I thought you would refuse." It seems that I thought about you wrong, although you are a literati, you have the mind of a golden iron horse in your bones, haha, it's also interesting. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Whether it is literary or martial, as long as you can serve the court, the ministers don't care." ”

Xuanzong said: "You have thought about it, the war is not a joke, although the battle against the Nanzhao Kingdom has been won one after another, and the battle report submitted by Guozhong said that it is about to reach Yamato City, the capital of Nanzhao, but even so, there are many variables on the battlefield, and it is still very dangerous." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the minister, the minister needs such experience." The reason why Yang Zuoxiang recommended the minister is probably also the intention of hoping that the minister will have some experience. ”

Yang Guozhong nodded and said: "With this intention, Wang Yuan has already stood on the court at a young age, although he is very intelligent and talented, but after all, his qualifications are shallow and he has not been trained. If you want to become the pillar of Datang in the future and assist me in the continuation and immortality of the Tang Dynasty, you need the experience of blood and sweat at this time. Not only Wang Yuan, but also many young officials also need the opportunity to experience, so that when the old ministers are unable to serve the country in the future, they can rest assured that they can be entrusted with the responsibility of assistance. That's something I've been thinking about. ”

Xuanzong smiled and said, "Guozhong thinks very far." ”

Li Linfu also laughed and said: "Zuo Xiang has a flexible brain and thinks a lot more than Lao Chen. He is right, like the old minister, he is an old minister, and it really can't last a few years, and it is indeed time to look for young talents who can take over the experience of the old ministers in the court, and the old minister completely agrees with the opinion of the left minister. ”

Xuanzong said with a smile: "Guozhong is not talking about you, Xiangguo should be strong and strong, why do you say this." ”

Yang Guozhong hurriedly said to Li Linfu: "Li Xiangmo has a lot of heart, I just said that." Li Xiang is the spine of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiang is needed to sit in the court at any time. With you, Your Majesty can enjoy peace and leisure. ”

"Yes, yes, I still want to enjoy a few more years of Qingfu, Xiangguo don't pick on him." Xuanzong smiled.

"The old minister bowed and died." Li Linfu said loudly, his eyes were a little red.

"Then this matter will be decided, and later I will announce the decree of the bachelor, as for the date of going to work, Guozhong, you and Wang Yuan will discuss and decide, and I will not worry about that. In short, what you said to me must be fulfilled, before next summer, I want to see the news of the submission of the Nanzhao Kingdom, either surrender or exterminate, you can't let me down, this battle has cost a lot of money and troops, and it must not end without a problem. Xuanzong said coldly.

Yang Guozhong broke out in a cold sweat behind his spine, but his face was still resolute and categorical: "Your Majesty puts 10,000 hearts, and Nanzhao can be destroyed in the near future." ”
