On the Tianjin Bridge of Luoyang Palace, when the grand enthronement ceremony was over, and the civil and military officials who were enshrined rushed out of the palace gate, only a few were full of ambition on their faces, and more people felt that there were heavy dark clouds on their heads. Especially the solemnity and nobility of becoming the prime minister in one fell swoop, until this moment I still feel the burning pain of the wound on my back.

These of them who have followed An Lushan for more than ten years are still like this, not to mention ministers like Zhongda Xi Xun and Zhongshu Ling Chen Xilie. When they thought of Zhang Jieran, Li Xin and the others who disappeared after the city was broken, they only hated each other's different circumstances. Why can Li Xin and the others be praised by the people, but they should be labeled as a traitor and a fellow party, waiting for the outcome of the coming day in a panic?

Not many of the generals were still in high spirits, even if they all had the title of great generals and jiedu envoys. After the news of the chaos in Hebei Province and the emergency in Youzhou came, not only Shi Siming quickly led his troops back, but Cai Xide also hurriedly led 10,000 troops from Hanoi County, Huaizhou to the north. But at this juncture, Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi went out of Kunshan North Road and Kunshan South Road respectively, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang.

Among them, among the troops of Du Shiyi's army in the north of Kunshan Road, Fugu Huaien personally led the elite horse army as the vanguard, and took the missing door. This time, it is impossible for Cui Qianyou to use the trick of outflanking the Tang army's back road from the ancient road of the Battle of Kun at that time, and the most terrible thing is that even if he wants to repeat his old tricks, he has no corresponding soldiers at all!

However, the most disappointed person is not someone else, but An Qingxu!

After An Lushan ascended the throne, he was all over the civil and military, and all the sons were named kings, but Mrs. Kang and An Qingzong, who were still in Chang'an, did not get the title of queen and prince. An Lushan actually did not give Mrs. Yuan Peikang and his concubine Mrs. Duan the title on the grounds that the person's whereabouts are still unknown, the queen's position is still vacant, and the eldest son An Qingzong is a king of Qin, according to the situation that the person's whereabouts in Chang'an are unknown now, I don't know whether it is comfort or irony. But An Qingxu now has no effort to hold grievances for his mother and eldest brother.

Because his second son can't even live in Luoyang Palace, he was only assigned a mansion in Wenwenfang, and Mrs. Duan, who accompanied the army, and her own Zhao Wang An Qingen, occupied the East Palace, and if this continues, won't he sooner or later become a fish on someone else's chopping board?

"King Jin."

An Qingxu is the king of Jin, although Jin is a big country, but now Hedongdao is still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and he, the king of Jin, is in danger, and he didn't realize that others were calling him at first. It wasn't until the voice got closer that he subconsciously looked sideways and found that it was Xue Dynasty, who had also been officially canonized by the King of Lijie County today, and he immediately came back to his senses. Although this person still wears an iron mask, and he can't compare with An Lushan's cronies like the noble and solemn, he is quite detached, and An Lushan will summon this person from time to time. At this time, he squeezed out a smile, which was regarded as a reply.

"Is the king unhappy about the affairs of the East Palace?" Xue Chao saw An Qingxu stop his steps suddenly, his eyes looked at him fiercely, he saw that the other people around him had already gone, so he said in a very low voice, "According to the signs I found when I saw His Majesty in recent days, His Majesty's condition is very bad, and when Mrs. Duan and An Qingen, the king of Zhao, are in the East Palace, and the moon is first near the water, please be careful." ”

Just called the king of Jin, but now he is called the king, not only shortening the distance, but also making An Qingxu, who has never been very popular, very angry. Seeing that Xue Chao bowed his head slightly after saying this, he actually went straight away, after hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but catch up with him quickly, and asked through gritted teeth: "Grandpa's condition is really bad?" ”

"The boils on His Majesty's body have not been around for a long time, and these things imply that the heat poison in His Majesty's body has long been deep, and now these hot poisons have not only appeared on the surface of the skin, but are gradually rising. Don't you think that His Majesty's eyes are already very bad? ”

Xue Chao knew the truth of the point, not to mention that he only knew this, and if he said anything further, he was afraid that he would be exposed, so he immediately arched his hand and left without looking back. As a person who has a place in front of An Lushan, the location of his mansion is very good, and it is the Xiuwen Workshop that the Empress Wu once gave to the second son Zhang Huai, the prince Li Xian. But it has been converted into a Taoist temple for many years, and although the houses are gorgeous, the furnishings are all Taoist style, and Xue Chao doesn't care. He didn't even drive away those Taoist priests, and he discussed the Taoist immortal ascension techniques with people when he had nothing to do, and the number of people who monitored him went from slacking to decreasing, and there were only two recently.

At this moment, when he entered the hall dedicated to Lao Tzu, the Xuanyuan Emperor, and made a mockery to an old Taoist, he saw that the old Taoist pointed to the small room on the side, and he quickly flashed into it. Sure enough, Pei Ning, who was dressed in Taoist clothes, was copying Taoist books there. Although Xue Chao didn't know Pei Ning at all before accepting this mission, now that he has been dealing with him several times, he is already very familiar with this Pei Sanlang. At this moment, he talked about the events after An Lushan became emperor today, and turned to the topic.

"An Qingxu, I have already told him everything according to your instructions."

"Xue Langjun has worked hard." Pei Ning smiled, with a little more warmth on his cold face, "The Hedong side has just expelled Wang Chengye, and now they are ready to send troops south." Du Dashuai and Guo Dashuai have also pointed directly at Luoyang, as for the southwest, Princess Gu'an has just led the volunteers to occupy Yongqiu, and Wu King Li Yi is entering Lingchang County, Huazhou, it can be said that An Lushan, the emperor, has been embattled. ”

Faced with such news, Xue Chao was not very happy, he sat down with his ass, and said angrily: "Could it be that I am waiting for such a fight to die just for Li Longji's faint king?" ”

"Of course not, if he is still allowed to sit on the throne, how can he be worthy of the officials and civilians who have died in various places since the Thief Rebellion?" Pei Ning dropped the pen in his hand and said this rebellious sentence very plainly. However, what he gained was Xue Chao's look of surprise and expectation. He knew that this disciple of the Xue family could no longer talk about any loyalty to Datang, but instead had a greater sense of identity with Luo Ying, who gave him another life and taught martial arts and the art of war in person, but he would not confide too much at this time for further things.

"You must know that the thief is the emperor, Li Longji supported the banner of the prince for the thief in the past, and the matter of killing the prince Li Heng and the king of Guangping Jianning spread again, and his name as a faint monarch will be even more solid. Of course, I also hope that after Wang Chengye returns to Beijing, he will continue to cry and complain, so that he can be angry and toss again. If he still thinks that he is the Son of Heaven who was praised by everyone for his wisdom and martial arts in the past, and the people of the world and the soldiers in the army will still listen to him, then he is very wrong! For so many years, I have not been a good official, and I have not done other things well, the only thing I have done is to promote the official school for several years, and there is a group of officials who are willing to be used by me, and at the same time I have a little right to speak in Shilin. ”

Xue Chao often didn't understand the meaning of Pei Ning's words, but Pei Ning said that he wanted Li Longji to sit in the name of the faint king, but he understood. With a long sigh of relief, he didn't ask any more, and listened carefully and patiently to Pei Ning's instructions, until the other party finally got up to leave, he couldn't help but ask: "Pei Sanlang, may I ask how my Khan is now?" ”

"Many of the Khitan and Xi people have been instigated by An Lushan to join the rebels, and now the hinterland is empty, you said that Huaiyi Khan is now rushing directly behind the enemy, and almost no one in the land of the Khitan and Xi people can stop him, is it good or bad?" Pei Ning said such a sentence without looking back, and then added, "If you have time, you might as well go to Anguo Temple to have a good look." ”

What to do at Ankooksa Temple?

Xue Chao was simply confused. Although Luo Ying looked like a Tiele person, Xue Chao knew that this khan had always regarded himself as a Tang person, not to mention that the person who taught swordsmanship in the sword camp was the once famous Gongsun Auntie, and Kedun Yue Wuniang was even a disciple of Gongsun Auntie. However, Luo Ying did not use her own name as a banner in Dubo at first, but always used the banner of Wumi's daughter and husband to operate and integrate, until after moving eastward, she changed the name Luo Yi to such a name. Everyone from top to bottom, except for Gongsun Auntie and Yue Wuniang, no one knew that he was once a small novice in Anguo Temple.

Pei Ning only mentioned it casually, and did not intend to tell Xue Chao the truth of the matter, but just asked him to go around, lest some people who were spying on him have nothing to do. With the change of the host of Anguo Temple for two terms, the little novice has long been forgotten by everyone. No one knew that he had made great achievements, served as a military general of the Tang Dynasty, and now ruled one of the most powerful tribes in the northern grasslands, and even the Xi and Khitan were trembling under his soldiers.

Pei Ning's news is faster than An Lushan's, not that the news of the new emperor who has just founded the country is not smooth, but that several war reports are lying in the political hall of Luoyang Palace, Chen Xilie and Da Xixun pretended to be sick and hid back home early, Ashina Chengqing and Zhang Tongru found an excuse to hide out after the enthronement ceremony, the two prime ministers of Gao Shang and Yan Zhuang were simply sad, and no one dared to send them to An Lushan.

As far as they knew, dozens of eunuchs and palace servants serving An Lushan had been flogged in the past few days, and some were even beaten to death for reporting bad news. They used to think that they were exceptions with a hint of luck, but they had just been beaten a few days ago, and now who would dare to try?

The two men looked at each other, and finally shouted in unison, "Let's cast lots!" ”

Whether it is solemn or noble, they are all the people with the most elite thresholds, staring at each other and calling an irrelevant official in, it is impossible to cheat. When Yan Zhuang unfolded the note in his hand and saw that there was a word sent on it, his face was like ashes, and he glared at Gao Shang viciously.

And after smiling and groaning for a moment, Gao Shang thought that there might be more such things in the future that needed to be decided in such a way of fighting luck, and his face suddenly stretched again. Seeing that Yan Zhuang picked up those few battle reports and walked to Hanyuan Hall with the heroism of going to the execution ground, he couldn't help but twitch violently at the corners of his mouth.

When is this kind of day a head?
