Chapter 172: Faint Sage
In fact, Li Longji is not mediocre!
Before An Lushan's rebellion, Li Longji had already sensed his dissent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And Yang Guozhong accused Yan Gaoqing of being a traitor, and Li Longji was also faintly aware that Yang Guozhong's words were not reliable, and he might have wronged Yan Gaoqing, especially since Gao Lishi once told him that Wang Chengye's Taiyuan army could not enter Changshan City before An Lushan reached Changshan! This is a huge logical hole!
However, no matter for An Lushan or Yan Gaoqing, Li Longji always let it go, and in the end, it caused An Lushan to rebel and wronged Yan Gaoqing, the world's first loyal minister!
All of this is the work of his unbreakable self-esteem that has been formed for decades!
An Lushan was supported by him single-handedly, and Li Longji couldn't fan himself by himself!
Yan Gaoqing was declared a traitor by his own decree, and he can't go back on his word!
Therefore, he has always avoided and dared not face the cruel reality!
An important reason why he locked himself in the Zichen Hall was that he didn't want to hear anyone defend Yan Gaoqing! He can't face this fact - he single-handedly caused Yan Gaoqing's unjust case!
Therefore, even if everyone in the world knows that Yan Gaoqing has been wronged, Li Longji still has to deceive himself!
However, whatever you want to hide, whatever you want is coming.
Li Longji's anger was not because he discovered Zhang Tongyou's evil! In fact, Li Longji never believed that Zhang Tongyou was a righteous gentleman!
His anger was that Bu Yunfei tore this layer of paper in front of him, allowing him to face Yan Gaoqing directly, and there was no way to avoid it!
He seemed to see that behind Bu Yunfei, there was a bloody Yan Gaoqing!
Those dead eyes, like sharp swords, plunged into Li Longji's chest!
Li Longji, who was embarrassed and angry, finally lost his temper!
As a generation of emperors who created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, he actually fell into the end of the laughing stock of the world!
Incompetent! This word can be used on countless emperors, but Li Longji never thought that this word would be used on himself!
But the cruel reality is that the people of the world have put this word on the top of his head in their hearts!
Shame and anger made his eyes bloodshot: "Bu Yunfei, you said that you are mediocre!" ”
Bu Yunfei bowed his head and said, "The emperor is sage! ”
Yang Yuhuan shouted: "Bu Yunfei, you are too presumptuous!" ”
She saw that Bu Yunfei said "Emperor Shengming", and Li Longji trembled!
A loyal and treacherous emperor is crowned with the word Shengming, which is a great irony! Even if it is a flat-headed commoner, he can't stand it if he is humiliated like this, not to mention Emperor Tang Ming, who is respected and respected, and no one dares to contradict him!
"The emperor dares to call himself mediocre, emperors throughout the ages, how many people can do it!" Bu Yunfei said lightly: "Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu don't have this courage!" Qin Shi Huang was blinded by Zhao Gao, and he knew but couldn't speak! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was blinded by his ministers, and he didn't dare to say it! Only Your Majesty, openly blame yourself and be open-minded! No man is born wise or learned! The Lord of Wisdom is not about doing one thing right, but about facing his mistakes! From this point of view, the emperor is sage! ”
Li Longji listened to Bu Yunfei's words, sat stunned, and said nothing.
Xuyuan sighed: "Your Majesty, what Kongyun said is true! As a descendant of the Dharma Sect, the poor monk respects the Dharma and studies the Dharma, knowing that he has entered a dead end, but he does not dare to say it clearly, lest the world laugh at him. Fortunately, Kongyun had an epiphany, although he had escaped from the cage, he still regarded himself as the law! Poor monks have practiced Buddhism for many years, but they can't let go! The emperor can blame himself in public, but he has a great understanding, and the poor monk is not as good as the emperor! ”
Li Longji exhaled slightly.
Xuyuan is a high-ranking monk in the world, if you look through honor and disgrace, no one in the world can reach it. And Xuyuan's words really told Li Longji that as the king of a country, he can blame himself for being mediocre, and he is already far above Xuyuan!
"I'm sorry Yan Gaoqing!" Li Longji finally let out a long sigh. This tone, he can be regarded as smooth.
Yang Yuhuan's tears almost flowed out, for so many years, Li Longji has never admitted his mistakes, but today, he has admitted his mistakes to a Jiupin record!
It's nothing short of a miracle.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Yang Yuhuan fell to the ground.
"Guifei, get up!" Li Longji waved his hand weakly: "I want to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Yan Gaoqing!" ”
"Amitabha!" Xuyuan clasped his hands together.
Bu Yunfei sighed: "The emperor rehabilitated Yan Gaoqing, and the world will inevitably return to his heart!" The Tang Dynasty is bound to be as solid as a rock! ”
Li Longji smiled bitterly: "An Lushan is about to be proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, what should I do?" ”
An Lushan's claim to be the emperor is Li Longji's heart knot.
This knot can't be untied, and the reason is still messy.
In fact, Li Longji was not worried that An Lushan would attack Chang'an, and the 200,000 troops under Ge Shuhan had already sent troops to Tongguan, and Li Longji still believed in the strength of the Tongguan army.
Li Longji was embarrassed that there were two suns in the world!
An Lushan is called the emperor, although it seems short-sighted, but as an emperor, Li Longji understands that if An Lushan is still under the banner of the Qing monarch, then it will be difficult for the subjects of the world to choose a side, because, after all, there is only one emperor in the world.
But once An Lushan is proclaimed emperor and there are two emperors in the world, then many people will have to consider the issue of choosing sides!
This is extremely unfavorable to Li Longji's Tang Dynasty!
Bu Yunfei was silent.
"Bu Yunfei, didn't you say that you have a plan to calm the world and dedicate it to the emperor?" Yang Yuhuan said hurriedly.
At this point, it's time to draw your hole cards.
Bu Yunfei has two hole cards in his hand, but, until now, none of these two hole cards can be played!
The first hole card is Yongwang Li Lan!
Li Lan is Li Longji's own son, and he is Li Longji's most eye-catching son!
Maybe Li Longji is too "sage", and his son is too dull. Represented by the crown prince Li Heng, those princes of Li Longji are generally weak and short-sighted.
Only Li Lan, soft and rigid, quite fatherly.
Therefore, when the national disaster is at hand, Li Longji's first thought is King Yong.
Just two days ago, Li Longji had just crowned Li Lan as the envoy of the four festivals in Shannan.
This is by far the greatest real power that the princes can have.
Shannan East Road, Lingnan, Qianzhong, and Jiangnan West Road are equivalent to half of Datang! More importantly, Shannan Sidao is the source of tax for Datang! An Lushan rebelled, Hebei, Shandong, and Liaodong fell, and if Datang wanted to win this war, it could only be supported by the wealth of Shannan Sidao!
Li Longji gave the Shannan Four Roads to Li Lan, which is equivalent to pinning the foundation of the Tang Dynasty on Li Lan.
It can be seen that Li Longji's trust in Li Lan!
However, Li Longji didn't realize at all that Li Lan was sharpening his knife and preparing to launch a strong challenge to his imperial power!
And now, Bu Yunfei suddenly exposed Li Lan to Li Longji, which is a huge risk!
As the saying goes, you can't kiss each other!
Even if you are the prime minister, you don't dare to ask about the emperor's family affairs, and Bu Yunfei is just a small Jiupin record!
The emperor won't believe Bu Yunfei's words!
Moreover, even if he took 10,000 steps back, Li Longji believed Bu Yunfei's words, and Bu Yunfei would not be pleased!
The reason is very simple, family ugliness should not be publicized. There was a scandal in the emperor's family where his son wanted to kill Lao Tzu, and Li Longji was even more shameless to face the world. What he can do is to kill the insider first, and then solve Li Luan. Bu Yunfei can even conclude that after Li Longji solves Li Lan, he will not deal with him for the crime of rebellion, but will use other innocuous charges, such as unfilial piety.
What's more, Bu Yunfei has no evidence in his hands that Li Lan is disturbing the world.
Without evidence, if you want to accuse a dignified prince, it is tantamount to looking for death.
This point, Gao Lishi knows better than Bu Yunfei. Therefore, Gao Lishi knew that Heiyun was plotting against him, and he didn't dare to say half a word in front of Li Longji.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Bu Yunfei did not plan to play the hole card of Heiyundu in front of Li Longji.
His only choice was the second card - An Lushan.
Persuade Emperor Tang Ming to pardon An Lushan, and the two sides will stop fighting, Li Lan will naturally surface, and when the time comes, without anyone reminding him, Li Longji himself will solve the Black Cloud Capital.
This is Bu Yunfei's established strategy, and everything Bu Yunfei has done since he came to Chang'an is closely around this strategy.
As long as he saw Emperor Tang Ming, Bu Yunfei was sure to persuade Li Longji to pardon An Lushan.
The only difficulty is how to meet Li Longji!
Bu Yunfei wasted all his strength, and finally said that he moved Gao Lishi, Yang Yuyao, Yang Yuhuan, these important figures, and finally met the emperor.
However, he suddenly discovered that it was impossible for the emperor to pardon An Lushan!
Similarly, Ma Sui and Ling Huchao in Luoyang could not persuade An Lushan to give up the rebellion!
Because, just yesterday, before Bu Yunfei came to the Great Ci'en Temple, he heard bad news.
After Yang Yuhuan left the park, Bu Yunfei also left the park and returned to Boling Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he met Jingzhao Shaoyin and Yulin General Cui Guangyuan.
As soon as Cui Guangyuan saw Bu Yunfei, he was full of spring flying, excited, and told Bu Yunfei a good news of joy and prosperity - Ge Shuhan was ordered to lead the Tongguan army out of the Guandong Expedition, swept the An Lushan rebels, and fought with the rebels in Lingbao, the first battle was a great victory, the rebel Cui Qianyou's department was defeated and scattered, and the official army approached Shaanxi County, and Luoyang could be recovered in a few days!
Before Bu Yunfei could react, the sound of firecrackers sounded on the street outside the house.
The people in Chang'an City have spontaneously set off fireworks to celebrate this exciting moment!
In the eyes of Cui Guangyuan and the people of Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty officials and army, who had been entrenched for three months, finally became powerful.
The Fanyang rebels who seem to be like wolves and tigers are nothing more than that, as long as the officers and soldiers are serious, the rebels are vulnerable!
If the officials and troops had done this earlier, where would they have allowed An Lushan to jump for three months, but I am afraid that now that the head has been awarded, the officers and troops have already recovered Hebei and Liaodong!
Cui Guangyuan was so excited that he defeated An Lushan, and the emperor was happy, he would definitely be promoted. Therefore, Cui Guangyuan was extremely excited, set up a banquet at home, invited Buyun Feiba Yegu to drink together, and rested when he was drunk, wishing An Lushan the head and peace in the world.
In Cui Guangyuan's view, leveling the war is at most a matter of a month.
However, Bu Yunfei was extremely depressed about this good news.
This is not good news at all, but terrible news!
