In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Yan Zhuang slowly walked up the steps of An Lushan's dormitory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 An attendant at the gate of the info hall saw Yan Zhuang hurriedly bowing and saluting, and turned around to go in to report, but Yan Zhuang waved his hand to stop him.

Standing outside the hall, Yan Zhuang frowned and heard the roaring and insulting sound of An Lushan and the screaming and pleading of a palace maid from the dormitory, it seemed that another palace maid had annoyed An Lushan and was being ordered to be punished by An Lushan.

Soon after, on the front porch of the dormitory, two palace guards dragged a palace maid covered in blood to come quickly. The palace maid had her eyes closed, her face was pale, her lips were purple, and she seemed to have lost her breath. The Praetorian Guard dragged her body and slid across the ground, leaving a long trail of blood on the smooth marble floor, dragging her all the way out of Yan Zhuang's side.

Yan Zhuang frowned, sighed and slowly walked into the hall. The moment he stepped into the hall from the cloister and lifted the curtain, a fishy and rotten smell suddenly rushed into his brain, Yan Zhuang took a big sip at once, and suddenly wanted to vomit nauseously, and coughed violently for a while.

The smell was familiar, the smell of rotting corpses that could often be smelled on the battlefield. But appearing in this dormitory, there is only one possibility, that is, what Li Zhu'er said is true, the poisonous sores on An Lushan's body are festering and have rotted and deteriorated.

An Lushan collapsed on the big chair and panted for breath, just now the palace maid accidentally shook the handle of the fan, and the banana fan hit An Lushan's face, An Lushan was furious, and ordered the guards to beat her thirty strokes. How did the palace maid wait to hold on to thirty sticks, but she was beaten to death.

An Lushan heard Yan Zhuang's cough, so he leaned over and shouted, "Is Mr. Yan here?" ”

Yan Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Yan Zhuang knocks to see His Majesty Emperor Xiongwu." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

An Lushan smiled on his face, and laughed loudly: "You can be counted as coming, hurry up and excuse yourself, come here, and give Mr. Yan a seat." ”

Yan Zhuang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty." ”

The guard brought a stool and put it aside, sat down slowly, his eyes naturally fell on An Lushan's swollen eyes and ulcerated belly, the eyes were swollen like two sarcomas, and the poisonous sores on the stomach had long been festering and black, and the white and red flesh was rolling, which was disgusting to look at. Several large flies buzzed around his stomach and flew around.

Yan Zhuang didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come, I don't know what the will is." ”

An Lushan had a smile on his face, looking for Yan Zhuang's position with his swollen eyes, but he only saw a vague red cloud. But he didn't want to admit that he couldn't see it, so he still pretended to be able to see the solemn appearance, and spoke cordially to a dragon pillar in the hall.

"Is it necessary that you will be called to come? Can't it be just to talk to me, chat and relieve boredom? It's been a long time since I've been alone with you. ”

Yan Zhuang hurriedly smiled: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and the ministers are running around, so they do talk less." However, as long as His Majesty needs to see the minister, the minister must be with him. ”

An Lushan nodded and smiled, and suddenly sighed and said: "I know, you have also been separated from me a lot now, for so many years, you have been by my side to plan for me, you and I have never been so angry." Hey, what's going on? ”

Yan Zhuang said softly: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, the minister doesn't feel that he has anything to do with His Majesty." It's just that there are a lot of big things now, and everyone is very busy, so Your Majesty feels that we are divided. ”

An Lushan laughed and said, "Didn't you have a point? That's good, that's good. I'm afraid that if you don't tell me what you think about me, then I'll be unhappy. We are all old brothers, and I am the emperor when I laid down this country, but it is also the credit of you old brothers who helped me. To tell you from the heart, any of you want to be this emperor, but as long as you tell him, I will give it to him with a smile. I also told Shi Siming about this. ”

Yan Zhuang's eyes showed contempt, but he said respectfully: "Your Majesty treats us like a mountain, Your Majesty is a bright and upright person, and we know Your Majesty's love and care." However, the position of the emperor is not to be given back and forth, His Majesty is the choice of heaven and the hope of all the people. No one can do it except Your Majesty. He who will be damned. ”

An Lushan laughed and muttered, "Damnation, damnation." Suddenly, he let out a long sigh and said, "Yan Zhuang, I have summoned you here today to discuss some things with you. I have a very doubtful thing, and I would like to ask you to help me solve my doubts. ”

Yan Zhuang smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please ask, the minister knows everything." If the minister doesn't know something, then the minister can't do anything. ”

An Lushan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't answer, I won't blame you." Yan Zhuang, I have been thinking about one thing these days, Mr. Yan is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, can you help me explain. ”

"How dare the minister say that he knows astronomy and geography, and His Majesty praises it. But I wonder what His Majesty is thinking? ”

An Lushan tilted his head and pointed at Yan Zhuang with two big peach eyes, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "Yan Zhuang, I won't hide it from you, my eyes can't see." I'm blind. ”

Yan Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Mo is joking with his ministers, Your Majesty's eyes are just having eye diseases." The weather is hot, and people's internal fires are also large, and it is common to have some prickly heat and boils. It's just that His Majesty's birth is not a position, but just an eye. Your Majesty don't worry, heal in time, recuperate with peace of mind, and you'll be fine in a few days. ”

An Lushan shook his head and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I know it very well in my heart." I invited so many Langzhong, and I took so many drugs externally and internally, but there was no effect at all. On the contrary, it is getting worse day by day. At first, I could still see something, but now I can't see anything at all, and my eyes are red, like ...... It was as if someone had burned two fires in my eyes, and they were hot and red, burning and painful. I couldn't see you when you came in. Even now, when you sit in front of me, I can't see you. ”

Yan Zhuang trembled and stretched out a palm and shook it in front of An Lushan's eyes. An Lushan didn't react, his red and swollen eyes were facing a palace maid on the other side, and he didn't have any vision at all.

"How so? How good is that? Yan Zhuang retracted his hand and smacked his lips.

An Lushan sighed and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how this happened. I knew it wasn't a boil, and if it was, how could it be so serious? And how could Langzhong not even be able to cure boils? And also...... Poisonous sores on my stomach. Just now...... Li Zhu'er said just now...... I have maggots in my stomach. Only the dead give birth to maggots, and I am still alive, how can maggots be born? Could it be that my life is not long in coming? You help me take a look and see if Li Zhu'er is lying to me. ”

Yan Zhuang didn't want to see it at all, but he couldn't help it. I had to reach out and gently untie the thin veil that penetrated the pus and blood that covered An Lushan's belly. The tulle slowly parted from the flesh with the yellow mucus, revealing a large wound that festered and foul-smelled. Yan Zhuang held his breath and looked at the rolling carrion, and then he saw some rice-sized white flowers wriggling in the wound. Yan Zhuang hurriedly covered the gauze, turned his head and gasped for breath.

"Is there that thing?" An Lushan asked quietly.

"I didn't ...... No. Your Majesty, don't be cranky. Yan said solemnly.

"Don't deceive me, you know that I hate others for deceiving me the most." An Lushan said coldly.

Yan Zhuang was silent, and finally said softly: "Indeed...... There are some unclean things. Your Majesty will order them to be removed. ”

An Lushan was silent for a long time, and said in a dumb voice: "No wonder I feel that the wound is itchy and crispy, they lied to me and said that it was a sign of wound healing." But it turned out that there were really maggots. It seems that my life is short. ”

Yan Zhuang comforted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't think so, you can raise the dragon body with peace of mind." The minister will also order someone to find a famous doctor to treat His Majesty. Even if there was that thing in the wound, it was just unclean, and the minister immediately ordered someone to clean the wound and remove the flesh buds for His Majesty. Your Majesty endured some pain, and he will definitely clean it up. Your Majesty, this is just a small calamity. ”

An Lushan shook his head and said, "Don't be busy, I will order someone to clean the wound in a while." But what happens after the cleanup? My eye disease and the poisonous sores on my stomach are not good for even the most astute doctors. I know that very well. Because this is not an ordinary disease, this is retribution, this is God's punishment. You just said the word "heaven's curse", and I suddenly understood, this is God's curse for me, how can human medicine cure me? ”

Yan Zhuang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister said that the punishment does not mean Your Majesty. ”

An Lushan waved his hand and said, "I know, I just heard that word and felt it." In fact, I've been thinking about it all this time, and it's not just what you say I feel. Since my family knew about my family's affairs, after I ascended the throne that day, my eyes began to swell and my stomach began to itch that night. Then it began to become red, swollen, ulcerated and began to drain pus. I invited Lang Zhong to heal at that time, but for more than a month, not only did not heal but deteriorated. You say it's not a sin from God? This is God accusing me of being the emperor and punishing me. So the medicine is not good, I know in my heart. I am also a blessed person, and I can't be the emperor. ”

An Lushan thumped the armrest of the soft chair with his fat arm full of hair, making a thumping sound. Everyone around was terrified, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that they would be guilty at every turn and annoy His Majesty and give them their lives.
