Chapter 120: Usurpation of the Throne
Li Zhu'er did not get better immediately after eating Zhang Tongru's kidney, and it was no different from before. This is very bad for the imperial doctors, because their lives are tied to Li Zhu'er's life, Li Zhu'er will give birth to them, and Li Zhu'er will not survive if he dies.
The doctors had no choice but to harass Liang Xingfa day and night. After all, this prescription was prescribed by Liang Xing, and he also said that he would get better after eating human flesh, but the result was not optimistic. The doctors questioned Liang Xingfa's ability, feeling that he would only teach An Lushan to play cards and play games.
Liang Xingfa was not nervous at all. Although the doctors dragged him into the water and told An Lushan that if he wanted to die, Liang Xingfa would have to die with him. An Lushan promised them on the lips, but he had other ideas in his heart. Liang Xingfa's explanation to An Lushan is that even a panacea has to have a process, so wait slowly. The reason why Liang Xingfa is so confident is not because he really knows how to save lives and help the wounded, but according to historical records, Li Zhu'er was not so short-lived, so needless to say, he will get better.
Just a few days after the doctors were frightened, Li Zhu'er miraculously recovered her health. The stone hanging in the hearts of the imperial doctors finally landed. An Lushan also breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't take long for Li Zhu'er to be alive again, and An Lushan's life was happy again. The imperial doctors admired Liang Xingfa very much and called him a miracle doctor. An Lushan felt that Liang Xingfa's approach was right, that Zhang Tongru was indeed the embodiment of demons and deserved to die.
After Zhang Tongru died, the most nervous person was Shi Siming. In the final analysis, he and Zhang Tongru belong to the same kind of people, and they are both heroes who have helped An Lushan fight the world. Now that Zhang Tongru is dead, he will inevitably die and be sad. It's not that Shi Siming and Zhang Tongru are so good, how much they call each other, in fact, Shi Siming and Zhang Tongru look down on each other, when Zhang Tongru was alive, he hoped that Shi Siming would die soon, so that he could dominate the court. Similarly, when Zhang Tongru was alive, Shi Siming also hoped that he would die soon, so that Shi Siming could dominate the court. Now that Zhang Tongru is really dead, Shi Siming can't be happy.
Although Shi Siming has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he is not an illiterate person who can only kill. On the contrary, he is familiar with history books, and understands very well the truth that the birds are good at hiding their bows. Zhang Tongru's death is undoubtedly a signal for him, that is, An Lushan is also ready to start killing heroes like previous emperors. So he always felt that his life was not safe enough, although it was not easy for An Lushan to kill him, but it always made him not have a good life. So in order to save his life, he decided to strike first, and he couldn't wait for someone else's knife to reach his neck before reacting.
I have to say that Shi Siming's idea is too unfounded. An Lushan is indeed worried that his subordinates will be highly meritorious, and he is also afraid that his subordinates will rebel. Since ancient times, who has not been worried about emperors. But An Lushan is not suspicious, and the idea in his heart is that as long as he is fully prepared, he can sit back and relax.
Shi Siming still stayed in Luoyang, not because he was happy. It's that he came this time to ask for military rations. But An Lushan just didn't give it, he couldn't get the military rations and was embarrassed to return empty-handed, afraid that others would laugh at him for being incompetent, and even more afraid that his men and horses would be disheartened, and no one would be willing to follow him anymore.
Shi Siming, who had nothing to do, could only go to Yan Zhuang's house to ask Yan Zhuang, a military advisor who pretended to be sick at home.
The helpful military advisor Yan Zhuang enthusiastically helped Shi Siming analyze the current situation. He said that An Lushan had always been worried that Shi Siming was too powerful, and he would not listen to orders at that time. Today's Shi Siming is no different from the fish on the board.
These words frightened Shi Siming almost fainted, and he was so anxious that he hurriedly asked Yan Zhuang what good plan he could save his life.
Yan Zhuang said: "Do you think that compared with your strength and An Lushan's strength, who is stronger and who is weaker?" ”
Shi Siming said: "Then you still need to ask, of course An Lushan is a little stronger." He is the emperor, and I am just one of his courtiers. ”
Yan Zhuang asked Shi Siming again: "Then do you dare to be a chaotic minister and thief?" ”
Shi Siming said: "If there is only one way to go, then you don't dare to dare." ”
Yan Zhuang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and immediately persuaded Shi Siming to rebel. But Shi Siming was still a little hesitant, afraid that the rebellion would die faster. Yan Zhuang said to Shi Siming: "When you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it. If you don't hurry up, you won't see the sun tomorrow. ”
Shi Siming said to Yan Zhuang: "Okay then. Anti-fucking. It's just that how to do it, you can't fight hard. ”
Yan Zhuang said that he had a clever plan, as long as Shi Siming did what he said. Shi Siming said that he would definitely cooperate.
At night. Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming came to the door of the prison where An Qingxu was held. The jailers were required to show their documents. Yan Zhuang took out a forged holy decree and said that he wanted to pull An Qingxu outside for interrogation. Those jailers had never seen the real holy decree a few times in their lives, and seeing that Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming were quite important ministers in the dynasty, they didn't dare to offend them, so they let them rescue An Qingxu with a casual glance.
Gao Shang also wanted to go out, but Yan Zhuang said that he didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being, and asked him to sit through the prison first.
An Qingxu thought that he had been freed, and after expressing his heartfelt thanks to Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming, he wanted to return to his Jin Palace.
Yan Zhuang pulled An Qingxu and said, "If you run back to your house, then you will not be far from death." ”
An Qingxu was very puzzled and didn't understand why eye makeup said that. So, Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming both scolded An Qingxu for being a fool, and then told him to think about it himself, he committed the crime of rebellion, would An Lushan let him go so easily?
An Qingxu was shocked: "So, you are the one who ordered me to be released." ”
Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming nodded, and then told him that if An Lushan was not killed tonight, he would be the first to die after An Lushan learned about it tomorrow. He gritted his teeth and decided to go out and do it.
In the middle of the night, Yan Zhuang, An Qingxu and Shi Siming appeared in the palace. Everyone thought that An Qingxu had regained his freedom, so they didn't ask more. The three of them came to the outside of An Lushan's dormitory very smoothly.
At this time, Li Zhu'er had just waited for An Lushan to fall asleep, and was standing outside the corridor to blow the wind. An Qingxu suddenly came to him and put a knife against his waist to tell him not to make a noise. Li Zhu'er, who had just walked back from the Ghost Gate, was very stunned and didn't dare to make a sound. An Qingxu took Li Zhu'er hostage and walked into An Lushan's dormitory, and the guards outside were all sent away by Li Zhu'er.
An Qingxu and Li Zhu'er came to An Lushan's bed, and when they heard An Lushan snoring loudly and sleeping extremely sweetly, An Qingxu couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that God was helping him. So, he asked Li Zhu'er to take a knife to hack An Lushan to death. Where did Li Zhu'er dare to do this, but he was punched hard by An Qingxu, and he grinned in pain, so he had to listen to An Qingxu's order and stabbed An Lushan in the stomach like a hill.
An Lushan was immediately woken up by the pain, and screamed "ah", blood splattered everywhere. He covered his wound and kicked Li Zhu'er, causing Li Zhu'er to fly to the side and faint.
An Lushan shouted for help. It's a pity that no one can hear it, the guards are all gone, and only Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming are left outside.
An Lushan found that An Qingxu was standing aside, and scolded: "You brute, you are not as good as a beast, you actually want to kill Lao Tzu." In vain I gave birth to you. ”
An Qingxu also yelled: "You brought all this on yourself." Who told you to want to kill me first? That An Qingen is just a child, what does he know, I'm just taking back my country. ”
An Lushan endured the pain while scolding: "Jiangshan was brought back by me with blood and sweat. I can give it to whomever I want. If I don't give it to you, you can't rob it. If you kill me, you won't be able to sit in this position. ”
"I want to sit in this seat, either you die or I die, go down to the Yellow Spring." After An Qingxu finished speaking, he slashed the knife in his hand at An Lushan's shoulder. An Lushan couldn't dodge and was slashed, and slammed An Qingxu's head in pain. An Lushan has been a horse all his life, and his martial arts are very strong, so An Qingxu was beaten a few times and almost fainted, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the two fathers and sons will die together.
Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming, who were guarding outside, felt anxious when they looked at it, afraid that they would have a long night of dreams if they went on like this, so they simply ran inside and punched and kicked An Lushan, who was covered in blood, and finally beat An Lushan to death after beating for about half an hour.
They shook Li Zhu'er awake again and asked him to dig a pit to bury An Lushan. Then he issued a notice, saying that An Lushan suddenly fell seriously ill and died, and passed the throne to his eldest son An Qingxu before he died. Yan Zhuang and Shi Siming were named ministers of care.
The news of An Qingxu's usurpation of the throne immediately spread to Liang Xingfa. He knew that An Qingxu would not let him go, so he ran away. (To be continued.) )
