Chapter 1122: A Road to the Black
Although the death of Princess Yuzhen made Li Longji, who had been in turmoil in recent days, feel exhausted, but Ge Shuhan's entry into Beijing, as well as the tsunami of the first lunar court, the tsunami-like greetings still quickly diluted his tiredness. Although Ge Shuhan is old, he has a majestic posture and a voice like a bell, and whenever he is summoned, he is different from An Lushan's dexterity and charm, and he can always appreciate a different feeling between the lines, which makes him have a special joy. Coupled with Yang Guozhong's praise for Ge Shuhan beside him, he felt more and more that he didn't use the wrong person.
As for Ge Shuhan, who has always felt that he was a late bloomer, he felt more and more fluttering when everyone was flattering. Although Wang Zhongsi was demoted and dismissed from his post before, Hexi Longyou, under the guard of him and An Sishun, repelled several counterattacks of Tubo, and the situation was stable. Therefore, Yang Guozhong strongly persuaded the Son of Heaven to keep Ge Shuhan until February on the grounds that there was no war in Helong, and Ge Shuhan himself was willing to show his face in front of Li Longji more to deepen his impression, and agreed.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the monarchs and ministers climbed the calyx Xianghui Building to enjoy the lanterns, and Ge Shuhan only felt that his life had reached the top, and he had no regrets. However, it seems to be happy and sad, that is, on the night of Shangyuan, he couldn't help the sweetness of the imperial wine in the palace, and the Son of Heaven personally held a cup to persuade the wine, Yang Guozhong Wei saw that Su was the prime minister and toasted constantly, not to mention the other courtiers below, so he drank a few more glasses. Even the crown prince Li Heng, after receiving Li Longji's eyes, personally stepped forward to congratulate Ge Shuhan.
This round was drunk with an open stomach, and when Ge Shuhan went downstairs, he didn't walk down, but was supported down by two strong chamberlains. But he still had to ride a horse recklessly, but not long after leaving Xingqing Palace, he was blown by the cold wind of that winter, and he fell down unconsciously, and he fell ill when he was sent home.
His illness caused a rare grand occasion. The Son of Heaven sent the imperial doctor, the prime minister sent medicinal materials, and hundreds of officials visited, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the door, and the momentum was even better than when Du Shiyi and Wang Zhonghei won the emperor's heart, and even when An Lushan was favored, it was just like this. Up to now, everyone in Chang'an City knows about it, feng shui takes turns, and among the handsomes in the border towns of the world today, the most favored is no longer the dead fat man of An Lushan, but the older Ge Shuhan!
For such a situation, Liu Luogu, who was sitting in the house of Daozheng Fang, was anxious in his eyes. An Lushan sent Hou Xiyi to Dubo to contact Huaiyi Khan to march into the army together, he didn't know about it, but since he was in the intelligence center of Chang'an, his judgment was certainly not bad, before Yang Guozhong said that the Son of Heaven sent Fu Lin to Fanyang, although the name was a gift, it was actually a spy, how could he not detect such a sign? An Lushan has been accumulating strength all these years, as far as he knows, he is very disobedient, and now he has been repeatedly persecuted by Yang Guozhong, An Lushan is not Wang Zhong's heir, where will he be slaughtered?
But if there is really a day when the rod is revealed, he will definitely be the first to be unlucky if he stays in Chang'an!
Since he had such a plan, Liu Luogu quietly planned and arranged his own retreat. But before he could plan how the golden cicada would break out of its shell and leave Chang'an, a more unexpected news arrived. The Son of Heaven actually gave the daughter of the clan Li for Anqingzong, and named this Li family as the lord of Rongyi, so that Liu Luogu sent a message to An Lushan to Beijing to complete the marriage for the eldest son. Although there had been such rumors before, in the face of such a sudden marriage contract, Liu Luogu secretly complained to himself. Everyone knows that Mrs. Kang and An Qingzong are not successful, how can he not preside over such a big matter? But in this way, won't his escape plan be in vain?
Even if he was reluctant, Liu Luogu could only send someone to deliver a message to An Lushan on the one hand, and follow the officials of Guanglu Temple and Zongzheng Temple to prepare for it. Although the county lord of Rongyi is the same as those titles of princesses, he is simply a name, just an ordinary clan girl, not the biological daughter of the crown prince Li Heng, but under the instruction of the Son of Heaven, it is more grand than any emperor's grandson and granddaughter. Liu Luogu was shocked when he just went to see the dowry list, and had to rack his brains to buy a dowry. It was more than half a month, and he finally waited for the messenger from Fan Yang after being busy without touching the ground.
"What? Da Shuai is sick and can't come? ”
The official messenger who returned to the imperial court was still on the way, and the messenger in front of him was Liu Luogu's own personal confidant. Confirming the news from the other party's mouth again, Liu Luogu only felt cold hands and feet. He took a light breath and asked in a trembling voice, "What about Fan Yang's side?" ”
"After I entered Youzhou City, there have been people staring closely, I don't dare to walk more than half a step, I don't dare to ask more than half a word, but the handsome man met me and asked about the situation in Chang'an City, especially after asking a few more words about the scene after Ge Shuhan entered Beijing, and the rest didn't say anything." Seeing that the master's face sank like water, the henchman was also worried in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Liu Lang, it's not that I'm too careful, I see that the atmosphere in Youzhou City is tense, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid it's ......"
He didn't dare to say it anymore, but how could Liu Luogu not hear it?
Facing the servant who put his heart into his heart, Liu Luogu did not shy away from it, and said with a sigh: "You don't need to say it. Alas, I also calculated that the handsome man was about to start an incident, and I was ready to leave Chang'an with you, but I didn't want to suddenly have such a marriage! At the moment, don't say that you can't leave lightly, it's just that the handsome man can't come because of illness, and I still need to run around, even you, I'm afraid that you will be stared at......"
What a reason for this! Knowing this, he shouldn't have led this matter of spying on intelligence in Chang'an in the first place, it seems that he has won deep trust, but when he encounters a big change, it is a dead word!
These people stationed in Chang'an by An Lushan are for spying on intelligence, not for assassination, but for being meticulous and capable, not fearless of death, so not to mention everyone, at least most of them cherish their lives like Liu Luogu. What's more, they worked hard for An Lushan in the hope that they would be able to win glory and wealth one day, rather than die before they could get out of school. At this moment, seeing that the master was worried, the servant was tired all the way, but he still had to cheer up.
"Liu Lang, forgive me for saying a big rebellious word, if we really become a thorn in the side of others, and we can't run away, can we ......" He hesitated for a moment, and finally directly took out the back half of the words, "Can you simply report the unsubmissive heart of the handsome, maybe you can still make meritorious contributions?" ”
This is turning his face and not recognizing people, and even An Lushan was sold! As soon as these words came out, he saw Liu Luogu glaring at him angrily. Although he knew that if he said this, if the master did not accept it, he would be a dead word, but after all, he still had some loyalty to Datang in his heart. But after a while, he only heard Liu Luogu sigh dejectedly.
"If there are still loyal ministers everywhere in this Chang'an City, I will not hesitate to let it out, but what is Yang Guozhong, you should also see it! I think that as soon as Li Linfu died, he had a black hand on people, and then contacted the marshal to attack Du Shiyi, but as soon as he found that Du Shiyi had revealed his flaws, he immediately put the marshal away, and even sent Luo Xizao, who had harmed Wang Zhonghei, to Anbei Ya Tent City, which caused chaos in the north now, but he strictly ordered that Hedong and Shuofang Jiedu should not send troops to rescue! Such a narrow-minded person, do you think that if we take refuge in the past, we will escape and become prosperous and rich? ”
After saying something that made people silent, Liu Luogu stood up again, and said ruthlessly: "It's time for you to live and die!" If you can let me escape and ascend to heaven, I will be the founder of the country, and then you will naturally ascend to heaven. Can't escape this level, my family, your family, are not in this Chang'an City, the handsome look at our hard work, to buy people's hearts, will always take care of them, so that they have a good future. At this time, it was too late to get off the boat, so I had to go all the way to the dark! In this way, through the marriage of the eldest son, we will first recruit people to come in, and then maybe we will be able to fish in troubled waters and escape! ”
When Li Longji got An Lushan's watch, saying that he had a foot disease and could not come to attend the wedding of his eldest son An Qingzong, he was originally a little suspicious because Fu Lin returned to report that An Lushan had no objection, but now he finally felt that things were abnormal again. Since the edict summoned the marshal of the border town, whether it was Li Yi and Zhang Shouqi, the former meritorious Xin'an kings, or the later famous Du Shiyi and Wang Zhonghei, and even more people who had only been a marshal for two or three years, they have never shirked for any reason. You must know that Wang Zhongsi was even seriously injured in the battle against Tubo, and he was called to Beijing without waiting for the injury to heal.
In contrast, An Lushan is simply so reckless that he has forgotten his form!
Thinking of this, Li Longji couldn't help but feel a little remorseful. However, who is Yang Guozhong who came to personally deliver An Lushan's performance today? He keenly noticed the subtle changes in the expression of the Son of Heaven, and knew that if he couldn't block some kind of signs back at this time, so that the Son of Heaven felt that he was too harsh on Wang Zhonghe, and re-led Hedong after recovering people, he felt that Du Shiyi had worked hard for so many years, and now Mobei was uneasy, so Shuo Fang Jiedu made Guo Ziyi send troops to relieve the siege, then he was trying his best to make wedding clothes for others!
What if An Lushan really rebelled? It must be known that the Tang Dynasty soldiers have fought all over the world over the years, so why worry about a small An Lushan? He even faintly hoped for such a military disaster in his heart, because then it would prove his foresight, and Li Longji would be able to pay more attention to what he said as the prime minister, and maybe even he could even stretch his hand into the army!
So, he immediately preemptively said: "Your Majesty has the grace of Heaven and Earth to An Lushan, in addition to the joint force of Qibi during the Taizong period, Ashina Sheer, and how many Hu people can still be princesses and marry the county lord?" If An Lushan really has the heart of not being subordinate, then the subjects of the world will definitely discuss it. If Your Majesty is worried about Guanzhong's defense, has you forgotten that Ge Shu is still in Chang'an? ”
That's right, but Ge Shuhan is still in Chang'an City!
Li Longji's tightly knit brows suddenly stretched out completely. That's right, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are like clouds, and besides, An Lushan may not really dare to rise up, why should he be too worried?
Seeing that Li Longji was obviously moved by what he said, Yang Guozhong said while the iron was hot: "However, since An Lushan said that he was sick this time and did not come to attend An Qingzong's wedding, it is enough to prove that Fu Lin told a lie when he reported to An Lushan last time. Why don't you find a crime and punish such disloyal and unrighteous people seriously, thinking that the eunuchs are a warning? For An Lushan, it may not be a deterrent! ”
