Chapter 80: Disappointment
Full of ministers, the envoys of various countries looked at Gao Xianzhi with surprise and envy, but Gao Xianzhi looked at Xiao Quzhi with a little embarrassment after bowing to Xie En with Ge Shuhan.
Xiao Quai's illness seemed to be fine, still light and light, smiling, and he couldn't see any change on the surface, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.
The disappointment is not because Li Longji did not reward himself, but because he knows that Li Longji has such a mentality, and he will definitely support him a lot less in the future. There will be a lot more difficulties in doing things by yourself, such as when you become the envoy of the river or the Shuofang festival, you don't have to think about it.
The other is the disappointment of Li Longji, who doesn't think about the government, and it's just a matter of being drunk and dreaming of death, it doesn't matter, you can rule by hanging the arch, hand over the country to the capable and virtuous people to govern, and then restrain him with the system.
But now he is so jealous of himself, unabashedly dividing his relationship with Gao Xianzhi, and unabashedly expressing his snub to himself.
This shows that he is now not even tolerant of people's minds in addition to being drunk and dreaming of death, and he is not thinking more about national interests, but about personal subtle thoughts, as a king, his realm has plummeted.
Maybe I still had a little fantasy about you before, thinking that you were just greedy for pleasure and getting by. Now I know that I was wrong, and I just don't expect you anymore.
What you want to do and what you want is nothing more than overcoming obstacles and relying on upright merits and means to get it!
As for Gao Xianzhi, Xiao Qu didn't worry too much about his illness, there was a secret between him and Gao Xianzhi that no one knew, that is, the prophecy he had when he first met Gao Xianzhi.
According to what he said at the beginning, if it wasn't for the master to send him down the mountain, the 20,000 troops of the Anxi Army would not be one in ten, and even Gao Xianzhi would be trapped in the battle, and there would be two fiascos in Datang, with more than 100,000 people killed.
Now that the results of the other two battles have come out, Gao Xianzhi has already found out clearly, and there is evidence of the two defeats of Xian Yu Zhongtong and An Lushan, plus the battle in the river is indeed thanks to himself.
How could Gao Xianzhi not think that he had saved him, and his current glory was also due to himself, which could be seen from Gao Xianzhi's embarrassed and ashamed eyes just now.
How could he, Li Longji, understand the feelings of sharing weal and suffering between soldiers and entrusting life and death.
Xiao Quzhi believes that Gao Xianzhi will not lose himself.
Sure enough, Gao Xianzhi saw that he was very calm and did not lose his expression, and he also made a suspicious look in a very short moment, and then immediately turned his head away, never looking at Xiao Quai's illness again.
Although Li Longji suddenly came out like this, the next plan had to continue, and after a while, Gao Xianzhi glanced at the prince of Ningyuan, the king of Kangguo, and the prince of Shi, Na Che Shishi and others, stood up, came to the middle and bowed to the ground, and shouted:
"Your Majesty, there is still one more thing for the minister, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the minister, and at the same time, this matter is also related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty, please investigate it to the end!"
Li Longji frowned imperceptibly, and said in his heart, could it be that he was upset for Xiao Qu's illness? He Gao Xianzhi wouldn't be so blind, he smiled very gently and asked, "Gao Qing played, as long as it is reasonable, I will not allow it." ”
Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, and a group of civil and military ministers were all full of different colors, and they said in their hearts, why is there anything wrong? In the last time, a secret letter was changed to a Beiting Festival envoy, Anxi Dadu Protector, Longyou Dao Interview Envoy, Yu Shi Dafu, everyone still doesn't know the situation.
What's going on this time? Calling the shots for him? He is now a very human minister, and there is no reward, does anyone dare to give him grievances?
Li Linfu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, the matter was completely out of his control, or even completely unaware, he didn't like this feeling; Yang Guozhong was so jealous in his heart, why are you Gao Xianzhi so beautiful, and there is no end!
An Lushan, who was a thief, suddenly had an ominous premonition, and prayed in his heart deceivingly: "The Great Light God is above, I hope this Gorinu is interceding for him Xiao Qu's illness!" ”
After praying for no soul, I saw Gao Xianzhi take out a book again, raise his hands above his head, and after being taken by Gao Lishi, Gao Xianzhi's very clear and loud voice came slowly, and when the civil and military officials were still a little confused, it was like a thunderclap in An Lushan's ears.
"Your Majesty, in March this year, on the way from Chang'an to Anxi, the minister was attacked and killed by a group of bandits, but fortunately His Majesty was blessed with the blessing of Hong Fu and was safe and sound. After interrogating these bandits, the minister realized that there was still an organization called Snake Tooth hidden in our Datang Dynasty that did all kinds of evil and intended to rebel and cause chaos.
This group of snake teeth, they take in and train outlaws on the rivers and lakes to carry out assassinations; They integrated the horse bandits on the Silk Road, blocked the road and robbed, intending to dominate the silk trade; They formed caravans, sold goods over long distances, and amassed large sums of money for the snake's tooth activities;
They secretly colluded with the Huang surnamed Tuqi Shi and the previous rebellious Shi Kingdom to fight against the Tang Dynasty; They sent a large number of small workers in the 36 countries of the Green Mountains, intending to get the countries to support the snake's teeth to rebel against them...... The piles and piles are clearly listed, and there are kings, princes, and messengers of the 36 countries of Green Ridge as evidence! ”
Gao Xianzhi threw out the charges one by one, and the civil and military officials were so shocked that they looked at each other and were stunned. Li Longji, who was watching the twists and turns, was even more angry and trembling with anger. Over there, Li Linfu was thoughtful, Yang Guozhong gloated, and An Lushan was in a cold sweat.
On the other side, as early as Samujian and Mulu, they were manipulated by Gao Xiao and the others, and the thirty-six countries west of the Green Ridge were also under the leadership of King Kangguo, and one person from one country came out behind Gao Xianzhi and knelt down to bow down.
King Kangguo said bitterly: "The little slave and the others are willing to testify, the little slave and the others were bewitched by the snake's tooth secret agent before, and they have a lot of dealings with them, and now they have changed their past wrongs, and ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Khan to forgive the sins of the little slave and others!" ”
The envoys of the thirty-five countries echoed in unison: "The little slaves and others have cut off the connection with the snake-toothed traitors, and I beg His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Khan to forgive the sins of the little slaves and others!" ”
Then he talked about the bewitchment of the snaketooth agent before, how vicious and self-defeating the conspiracy of the snaketooth agent was, how they were confused, and how they got lost, and wantonly arrested the snaketooth agent Yunyun, all of them were sincere and sincere.
The Tang Dynasty has always been extremely generous to the vassal states, and the great victory in Hezhong has a lot to do with the timely anyway of these 36 countries. At this time, how could Li Longji still hold them accountable?
He raised his hand and said loudly: "Zhu Qing asked to get up, Zhu Qing was right in time, not only broke off with the snake tooth, but also assisted the Anxi army in arresting the snake tooth secret agent, and there was no fault." As long as you continue to be loyal to Datang in the future, you will be rewarded, so let's go down now. ”
When the others returned to their seats and sat down, Xiao Quying also left the table and came to the middle, made a salute, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the former rebelled against the case of the leakage of the arsenal of the Wang Jie, Your Majesty ordered the ministers to investigate to the end, and the ministers also found out."
Of the 280,000 pieces of weapons leaked, 240,000 of them were bought by Snake Ya and flowed to the same place, Xiongwu City under the rule of the Fan Yang Jiedu Envoy in Hebei. ”
Xiao Quzhi turned around and sneered at An Lushan: "My good nephew, don't you come out to explain?" ”
An Lushan immediately fell to his knees with a thud, used his hands and feet together, walked all the way to the middle, knocked his head on the ground, and pleaded to Li Longji in extreme fear:
"Your Majesty, the minister built Xiongwu City to defend against Khitan and Xi! I really don't know about this! There must be someone who has a rebellious heart and secretly does it from his ministers! Please forgive your majesty for the sins of negligence and incompetence! ”
After speaking, An Lushan burst into tears, looking ashamed of his parents because the children of later generations did not do well in the exam, and then he grabbed the ground with his head and kept kowtowing.
Li Longji chuckled slightly in his heart, and said in his heart that it was involved in An Lushan, without the slightest doubt, they immediately fully recognized An Lushan's words.
It's definitely negligence, it's definitely An Lushan's subordinates who are rebellious, they are so good to An Lushan, An Lushan is so grateful to himself, he is brave and loyal, and he is like father and son, it is impossible to have different intentions for himself.
You see that he is stupid and stupid, how can he have such a mind? He is honest and straightforward, a straight-hearted character, not like an ambitious person! Most likely, his subordinates bullied him for being honest, stupid, and hiding from him.
Seeing An Lushan walking on his knees all the way, kowtowing more than once, and looking terrified, Li Longji raised his hand without hesitation: "An Qingping, you are loyal to me, I know, I have no suspicion of you, you don't have to be like this." ”
An Lushan didn't get up, he still lay on the ground and cried, crying and saying that he was too useless, he had failed His Majesty's deep kindness, and he was deceived by others......
Xiao Quzhi sneered more and more in his heart, but the envoys of the thirty-six countries west of the Green Ridge all looked at Li Longji in disbelief, His Majesty the Khan this day, are you confused? Didn't ask anything, and made a conclusion in such a sentence?
A fool can also see that An Lushan has nothing to do with this matter! The envoys of the thirty-six countries, at this moment, the awe of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan Emperor was suddenly reduced by half.
Chang'an's civil and military officials also thought the same way, many people shook their heads imperceptibly, the Son of Heaven was so confused, they couldn't say their disappointment, even Li Longji's old slave, the former personal bodyguard, and the current Longwu general Li Yide couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Quzhi sneered and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to believe that An Lushan does not know about this matter. If His Majesty had been so gracious to him, but he had plotted a rebellion, would he still be human? Isn't that even worse than livestock, pigs, and dogs? ”
Xiao Qubing looked around at the ministers, envoys from various countries, and three guards around him, guarding the forbidden army at a glance, with even more mockery and contempt on his face, and introduced loudly: "This An Lushan is born in the state of the bastard, and he has no skills.
But His Majesty not only forgave him for his sins, but continued to promote him, promoting him from a sheep thief in the mutual market to the position of the envoy of the Three Towns and the King of Dongping County. ”
Xiao Quzhi looked at An Lushan with a sly smile, and asked in a deep voice: "King Dongping, you come to answer me, am I right?" Your Majesty and Datang are right, are you the grace of heaven and earth? If you still want to plot a rebellion, is it the anger of people and gods, and you should cut it with a thousand cuts? ”
