Chapter 396: An Lushan Comes to the Dynasty!
After Li Bai returned to his residence, ?en ???. Although ranen'org was drunk and hazy just now, he still remembered a thing or two about what had happened.
After remembering his actions just now, as well as his words with Tang Xuanzong, Li Bai sighed lightly. However, he is not regretting his actions. Even if he wasn't drunk, he would go to Tang Xuanzong to report the behavior of the Yang family. It's just that he regretted that he was too direct, especially the last two sentences, which were equivalent to directly refuting Tang Xuanzong's words.
Li Bai knew that his official career was already very slim. Thinking that his wish would not be fulfilled, he sighed heavily. Immediately, he drank and wrote poems in his room to relieve the worries in his heart.
And at this moment, I only heard a male duck's voice outside the door, "The holy decree has arrived~"
Hearing this voice, even if he knew that most of it was the emperor's punishment, Li Bai did not dare to slack off, and immediately walked out and saluted, "Weichen takes the order!" ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I remember Hanlin's behavior is free and easy, informal, and boring in the center of the palace. From now on, Hanlin is hereby allowed to remove Hanlin from the post of Hanlin and be rewarded with 500 taels of gold for the use of the laymen, and he is here~"
After hearing Tang Xuanzong's will, Li Bai's heart sank, but after all, he had already made preparations. So it wasn't too surprising for this, Li Bai just paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Weichen takes the order~"
Li Bai, who received the holy decree, smiled bitterly: It seems that this palace is indeed not suitable for him~
At the same time, Lu Chen, who was watching the situation in the DPRK and China in the palace, received a message sent by Song Cai: An Lushan came to the Hajj to meet His Majesty!
Regarding An Lushan's news, Lu Chen has never dared to underestimate it. After all, the Anshi Rebellion was caused by him, and now that he heard that An Lushan had come to meet Tang Xuanzong, Lu Chen immediately asked Song Cai to continue to send more people, and always paid attention to An Lushan's movements.
Although, according to Lu Chen's memories in his previous life, An Lushan raised troops on his own territory. However, perhaps because of his crossing, the history of the Tang Dynasty no longer evolves as before. After all, in the previous history of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the Zhenguo General's Mansion was just a gentleman!
And just when Lu Chen was paying attention to An Lushan's movements, Sakura found Lu Chen and told him that Li Bai had come to him.
Hearing that Li Bai had come out of the palace, Lu Chen only had a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then his complexion returned to normal. Before Li Bai entered the palace, Lu Chen had already expected this result. The only thing that surprised Lu Chen was that this Li Bai was driven out quickly! From the time he entered the palace to the present, it has been less than half a month.
When Lu Chen returned to Lu Mansion and saw Li Bai with a decadent face, he immediately smiled and said, "What, do you feel that your ambitions cannot be realized, and you are depressed?" ”
Hearing this, Li Bai didn't argue with Lu Chen, just nodded slightly, and sighed, "I think I, Li Taibai, have the ambition to serve the country, but I don't have a chance to show it!" Alas~"
Hearing Li Bai's sigh, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Actually, a person of your character is not suitable for staying in the palace, even if you really become an important minister of the imperial court, you will definitely not work for long." After all, with your character, you can't be left and right in this complex and changeable officialdom, and it is only a matter of time before you are kicked out."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Bai sighed again. Indeed, just like the matter of the Yang family before, if other officials saw it, not only would they not report it, but they would even directly come forward to curry favor with the stammer, after all, now that the Yang family is powerful, once the stammer, the future official career will be clear.
It is impossible for anyone to do such a thankless thing like Li Bai.
However, despite being removed from his official rank and expelled from the palace. But Li Bai did not regret his actions, if he was given another chance, he would do the same. After all, he is a man who can't rub sand in his eyes. It's impossible to turn a blind eye to these things that are right under your nose.
Although I regret that my ambition cannot be realized. However, Li Bai's heart was inexplicably much more relaxed. After all, he no longer needs to be constrained by the cumbersome rules of the palace like before.
Thinking of this, Li Bai immediately let out a long breath and said, "That's fine, I, Li Taibai, can visit the landscape with confidence in the future."
Hearing Li Bai's words, Lu Chen also nodded in agreement. However, he didn't say much. Although it seems that this Li Bai's face has a relaxed smile on his face. But Lu Chen knew that he still had some regrets about this matter in his heart. After all, this is also his lifelong wish, but it is not something that can be put down.
After talking with Lu Chen for a while, Li Bai offered his farewell. Because, now that he has a wish, there is no need to stay in Chang'an City.
When Li Bai left, Lu Chen inquired again about An Lushan's movements.
The development of things was as he expected, and An Lushan was deeply trusted by Tang Xuanzong after meeting Tang Xuanzong. It is said that in order to facilitate communication with An Lushan, Tang Xuanzong specially gave An Lushan a temporary residence palace in the palace. In the next few days, except for the court and playing with Yang Yuhuan, Tang Xuanzong stayed in that palace all the time, and he didn't know what to talk about with An Lushan.
Not only did Lu Chen pay attention to An Lushan's movements, but there was also a person in the DPRK who was also very concerned about An Lushan. This person is the now powerful Yang Guozhong. When he knew the relationship between An Lushan and Tang Xuanzong, and thought of Tang Xuanzong's alienation from him these days, he suddenly couldn't sit still. Because Tang Xuanzong hadn't summoned him once in the past few days. In the past, he would have been summoned to the palace almost every two or three days.
At the same time, those staff members in Yang Guozhong's mansion also suggested to Yang Guozhong that he get rid of this An Lushan as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not be in this position for a long time. For this point, Yang Guozhong agrees very much. After all, once he loses the favor of the emperor, and he has no real ability. As a result, it is conceivable that it will not be long before he will be demoted or even driven out of the palace.
Thinking of this, and thinking about the advice of those staff in the house, Yang Guozhong immediately felt ruthless in his heart and decided to get rid of An Lushan, after all, as long as An Lushan was there, he Yang Guozhong would not want to come out again.
After thinking of this, Yang Guozhong no longer hesitated, and immediately called his henchmen and told them his plans. Although these people were a little shocked by Yang Guozhong's bold behavior, they also knew that if they wanted Yang Guozhong to continue to be reused in the imperial court, they had to remove the obstacle of An Lushan.
