Chapter 136: How Can the Human Heart Be Tempted?
"You...... You ...... "The matter has come to this point, Li Longji has already regretted it a little, he really did it unreasonable, if Xiao Qu is sick and resists the will, it will be fine, but Xiao Qu is sick and said, you can go alone, you can win the same battle, and you have to insist.
Although this matter was just to test Xiao Qu's illness, in the eyes of all the courtiers and envoys, it became his own deliberate difficulty. Although he was angry that Xiao Qubing was sick and refused to obey her like An Lushan, he really couldn't kill Xiao Qubing because of this incident.
And he doesn't dare now, he himself is a little reluctant, but the matter has come to this point, Li Longji admitted that his brain was hot just now, and he got rid of it, but in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of various countries and tribes, how could it be possible to ask him, the high-ranking emperor, to bow his head and admit his mistakes!
So he was speechless in anger.
At this time, Xiao Qubing was already in the shocked eyes of everyone, and he finished his head, turned around and strode towards the outside of Hanyuan Palace.
"Presumptuous...... Someone ...... "Li Longji's anger rose again, and his anger was almost bursting, since Li Linfu's dictatorship, more than ten years, no one dared to disobey me like this for so long, but he still retained a trace of reason, and he didn't say the next words in the end.
Most of the ministers and envoys in the hall were completely stunned, and it wasn't until Xiao Qu took two or three steps that An Lushan reacted, jumping to his feet and scolding: "Rebel ministers, everyone has seen it, this traitor dares to do this!" ”
"Your Majesty, do you want it?" Yang Guozhong also stood up, a little gloating, and seeing Li Longji's unkind face, he immediately changed his words: "This arrogant man, it's okay to leave!" ”
"Aaron." Gao Lishi was also anxious: "There is nothing wrong with Liang Guogong in this matter, for the sake of him who has always been obedient and is the younger brother of the concubine." Just forgive him. ”
At this time, everyone in the Hanyuan Hall was buzzing and whispering, saying everything, of course, in front of the emperor, naturally there was nothing good to say, and some more upright and loyal people couldn't help but bow their heads and sigh. In an instant, there were already more than ten people ready to resign and return to the hidden mountains and forests.
Li Qi couldn't help but shout: "Master! ”
Xiao Qubing paused slightly, but did not look back, and continued to walk forward, Li Qi struggled fiercely in his heart, but he did not dare to chase after him desperately, and tears flowed out at once.
On the other side, An Lushan, who had always behaved simple and stupid, and was aggrieved, finally showed a weird smile imperceptibly at this time. Thinking of the noble plan, I shouted in my heart, you are not dead now!
Since the decision to rebel, An Lushan has embarked on the road of no return. He has no virtue and merit, but he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is extremely rude on weekdays, which has offended the people of the Manchu Dynasty, especially when he despised and humiliated the prince many times. It can be said that it is already an enemy of all dynasties.
If Li Longji died, let alone a premeditated rebellion. The evidence has been exposed by Xiao Quai, and even if he did not plan a rebellion, Li Heng and the Manchu ministers will definitely not tolerate him.
He has no way back, and if he doesn't rebel, he will die!
He had to rebel, but Xiao Quai's illness blocked the way for him to rebel, and he already understood. Almost everything Xiao Quzhi did was aimed at him.
Although An Lushan didn't know why this was happening, he knew better than anyone else that Xiao Qu's illness was already calculating him, and if Xiao Qu's illness didn't die, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.
Originally. Because of the threat of Xiao Quai's illness, he was still a little hesitant, but after the incident on the day of Xianjie, An Lushan also let go, and instead of being slowly consumed by Xiao Quai's illness, it was better to take the initiative to attack.
Anyway, it's all dead, he An Lushan is not a person who is easy to be frightened casually, maybe Xiao Qu's illness is a bluff?
So during the period when Xiao Qu was sick and went to Youzhou, An Lushan was full of firepower, pretending to be stupid in front of Li Longji, selling obedient treasures, just like a clown actor or ugly star in later generations, coaxing Li Longji to laugh.
Although Xiao Qubing sometimes told a joke or two when he entered the palace, which made him and Yang Guifei laugh, the effect of making Li Longji happy and happy in his heart was far inferior to An Lushan.
At this point, An Lushan has a unique advantage, and even Gao Lishi and Yang Guifei are not as good as him.
Just because An Lushan is ugly, just because he can pretend to be stupid, just because he is good at selling ugly!
I don't know if it's a coincidence of fate or An Lushan has found Li Longji's pulse, anyway, Li Longji likes it, so he gets close to people like An Lushan.
It's also embarrassing, the reason for all this can be traced back to Li Longji's childhood.
Li Longji's childhood was actually full of bitterness and sorrow, and it was his grandmother, Wu Zetian, a generation of empresses, who brought him sadness and sorrow.
When Li Longji was young, it was when he Wu Zetian was in full swing to become the emperor, so she did not hesitate to kill the eldest son, the second son, and depose the third son Li Xian.
Although Li Longji's father, Li Dan, was made emperor by Wu Zetian at that time, he was actually a puppet, closing his door every day, trembling, walking on thin ice, and was actually under house arrest.
After Wu Zetian successfully became the emperor, Li Dan became the emperor's heir, but he was still under house arrest, Li Longji and his brothers lived in such an environment since childhood, and were placed under house arrest by Wu Zetian in the harem, and Li Longji was not free until he was thirteen years old.
Because of this, Li Longji had the most contact with the opera troupes and musicians in the court when he was a child, and he fell in love with music and drama after hearing and seeing.
When he was seven years old, Li Longji's mother and Li Dan's concubine were called into the palace by Wu Zetian at the same time to kill.
Li Longji, who was under house arrest and depressed in his heart, liked the harlequin that time very much, because only this could make him forget his troubles for a while.
Later, when he became the emperor, he founded the pear orchard, and in addition to being happy, Li Longji often performed on stage in person, he played the harlequin, and he often played the harlequin to make Yang Guifei happy.
It is for this reason that Li Longji, who has liked and played harlequins since he was a child, resonated with An Lushan, who is the best at pretending to be stupid and selling ugly, because he felt that An Lushan simply didn't have to act, he was a clown, which made him very happy, close and liked.
And An Lushan was extremely favored by Li Longji for this reason, so he naturally specialized in this way more and more, to the point of perfection, so he became more and more favored by Li Longji.
(The above Li Longji's experiences when he was a child, and his love of acting as a clown on stage after becoming an emperor, are all real historical materials.) The clown's shape came because of Li Longji, because Li Longji is the emperor, and acting on stage is a harlequin, and he is afraid of losing the emperor's authority, so he had to hang a small piece of white jade on his face during the performance. Therefore, when the later harlequin artists performed, they also drew a white "tofu block" in the center of the nose bridge. Also for this reason, in the pear orchard of later generations, the status of the harlequin is also the highest.
But whether An Lushan is particularly favored for this reason is the author's words. )
Just three days ago, An Lushan listened to the noble advice, and two days ago, on the day Xiao went to the Daming Palace to make Li Longji happy.
It was also An Lushan who deliberately guided the topic, and when the two were laughing, Li Longji suddenly sighed and said: "You also have the two advantages of loyalty and caring, Xiao Quai's loyalty is there, if only he could be as obedient and caring as you."
An Lushan was grateful and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are as humble as grass. Everything that the minister has now is given by His Majesty, and the minister is very grateful to His Majesty.
Your Majesty's words are the direction of your minister's life, Your Majesty is to let your minister die immediately, and the minister will not hesitate to carry it out with gratitude. ”
Li Longji was greatly moved and said: "Aiqing's loyalty, I understand it in my heart. After a pause, he continued, "But it is not enough to be faithful, you must also be more attentive to your business."
Hey, you are reassuring me, but you don't have the ability, Xiao Quai's illness is the opposite, if you can have half of his ability, it would be good. ”
Li Longji said, At this moment, An Lushan's strange smile flashed at the corner of his mouth that seemed to be waiting for a long time, but the tone of his voice seemed to be extremely careless: "Since Your Majesty is not worried about Liang Guogong, why not test it a little?" (To be continued.) )
