—— An Lushan convened important ministers to discuss countermeasures, but after discussing for a long time, he did not discuss the reason, not only the "Zhongshu Shilang" noble was beaten, but several ministers who were named by An Lushan one after another were also beaten or reprimanded. For a while, people were panicked, and no one dared to stand up and say anything, even the ministers named by An Lushan just knelt down and didn't dare to express their opinions anymore.

An Lushan became more and more angry, and he had the urge to kill.

At this time, the crown prince An Qingxu couldn't hold back any longer, and stood up and said: "Father, please calm your anger, please listen to your son's words." ”

"If the prince has any suggestions, just tell me!" An Lushan is still not angry.

"Father, the son thinks that now that the Tang army is strong, our army cannot match its edge, and there should be a trade-off," An Qingxu said nervously: "Father is a great achiever, if you don't care about the temporary gains and losses in front of you, you have to think about the long-term!" Now that my Dayan has encountered a crisis, my son-in-law feels that what my father has to do now is to preserve Dayan's strength as much as possible, either give up Fanyang or give up Luoyang, there must be a trade-off between the two dilemmas, otherwise there will be no way to hold the two places. If the two places can't be defended, the Great Yan that his father worked so hard to establish will also be wiped out by the Tang Army. Father, do you have to think about it carefully? Now everything is in Luoyang, Luoyang is the capital of Dayan, and all the important ministers of Dayan are in Luoyang, it can also be said that Luoyang is the most fundamental place of Dayan, and the sons feel that their father should do his best to save Luoyang from being captured by the Tang army. ”

Seeing that the prince said this, Yan Zhuang, who didn't dare to say anything after being reprimanded, immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, now Luoyang is the foundation of Dayan, Your Majesty lives in Luoyang, if you abandon Luoyang now and lead the army back to Fanyang." It may not be able to solve the siege of Fanyang, and the Yang Xi Department of the Tang Army is likely to follow and pursue, and it is possible for my Dayan to suffer huge losses. ”

Immediately, a number of ministers who didn't dare to speak just now stood up and echoed An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang's intentions.

Hearing the ministers say this, An Lushan's anger also subsided a little, and he sat down and pondered.

After many years of dormancy, he rebelled and became the emperor in Luoyang, An Lushan's scheming is not comparable to ordinary people, although he blamed several ministers heavily because of his anger, but the ministers admonished one-sidedly. It is impossible not to let him think carefully. In fact, he himself did not intend to devote all his strength to rescue Fan Yang, if he really thought so, he would not convene important ministers to discuss countermeasures, but directly ordered to abandon Luoyang and return to Fan Yang. After all, everything in Luoyang is what he is most nostalgic for, how can he bear to give up the prosperity of Luoyang Palace.

But he was reluctant to Fan Yang, if he gave up easily where he started, how could it be? Those sergeants whose homes are near Yuyang will definitely be shaken when they hear that the Tang army has captured their hometown. He is also very conflicted because of this. He couldn't make up his mind, and when he heard that a minister suggested that he give up Fan Yang, he was furious and immediately ordered a heavy responsibility.

But the prince stood up and said the same. Almost all the ministers of the DPRK and China think so, so it is impossible for him not to be affected.

The prosperity of Luoyang is indeed completely incomparable to Fan Yang in the border land, in his heart. Luoyang's status has completely overshadowed Fan Yang, and the ministers are right, Luoyang is the capital of "Dayan". It is the foundation of Dayan. Luoyang is backed by the rich land of Henan, as long as Henan can be guaranteed, it can still be supported by "Dayan". Without Luoyang, is he still the emperor of "Dayan"?

With this in mind, An Lushan almost made a decision, but he was still furious, angry about the current situation.

Why did the invincible Great Yan army encounter such a dilemma and suffer successive defeats a year after it started its army?

In a state of confusion, An Lushan finally did not announce the decision in front of the palace, but waved his hand and ordered the ministers to retreat.

The crown prince An Qingxu also withdrew from the main hall with the ministers, but he did not return to the palace immediately, but quietly summoned several ministers who were heavily reprimanded by An Lushan, such as Yan Zhuang and Shangshang, and called them to the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the East Palace, An Qingxu immediately asked a few ministers who had been beaten to lie down, and wiped his eyes and said: "Yan Aiqing, Gao Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, Gu Zhen didn't expect that his father would be so tyrannical, and he repeatedly blamed several Aiqing, and he was very sad and angry, knowing that this would definitely make several Aiqing feel cold, and I hope that a few Aiqing will not mind and continue to preside over the court!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I really can't imagine that Your Majesty will do this again and again!" Yan Zhuang was in tears, couldn't help but hold An Qingxu's hand, and wept: "Your Highness, the old minister has been heavily reprimanded by His Majesty for the second time this month, and the old minister has already been disheartened by His Majesty. ”

Yan Zhuang's words aroused the sadness of several other people, and they all sighed in unison, and An Qingxu had to keep it one by one.

After some emotion, everyone was speechless again, and they didn't know what to say.

After An Qingxu wiped away the two tears that were easy to squeeze out from the corners of his eyes, he said very sadly: "Everyone, Aiqing, I am worried that my father is like this, sooner or later it will make everyone feel cold, and then don't talk about the attack of the Tang army, Dayan himself will fall apart." Lonely is very worried! Alas!"

Hearing An Qingxu say this, Yan Zhuang finally couldn't help it, and responded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you are kind-hearted, far more strategic than Your Majesty, the minister feels that if you are in charge of Dayan, then Dayan's future will not be so slim, and it will not allow the Tang Army to have so many opportunities to take advantage of." Your Majesty is tyrannical and unpopular, and sooner or later he will let the ministers rebel. The minister thinks that His Royal Highness might as well ask Your Majesty to hand over the power to you, so that Your Majesty can enjoy peace of mind. With His Royal Highness in charge of the Great Yan World, and with the assistance of such a minister who is worried about the world, it must be better than now. ”

Yan Zhuang's words were like a morning bell, knocking heavily on everyone's hearts, many people were shocked, and even An Qingxu was frightened.

Seeing everyone like this, Yan Zhuang calmed down and said very seriously: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, everyone, Your Majesty is already old and can no longer be in charge of court affairs, and His Royal Highness is young, very energetic, and has been helping His Majesty deal with court affairs, so he can take over His Majesty's court affairs from Da Yan." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister fully supports you, and takes charge of Dayan on behalf of His Majesty, you should find a way to make Your Majesty abdicate!"

Gao Shang, who had conspired with Yan Zhuang about this matter, also spoke at this time, "Your Highness, Yan Shilang is right, Your Majesty is tyrannical, and the ministers are in fear every day, and they are afraid that they will be punished by Your Majesty for saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing. Now the situation of Dayan is very critical, but His Majesty is unwilling to accept the opinions put forward by the ministers, if this continues, then Dayan will soon be finished. Your Highness, you should conform to the will of the people and persuade Your Majesty to abdicate! We will do our best to assist Your Highness. ”

After An Qingxu took a deep breath, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone not to say anything yet, "Your Aiqing's suggestion, let Gu Haosheng think about it!" (To be continued......)
