Chapter 160: Lei Wanchun
Yang Guozhong knelt on the high platform and wept, crackling and fanning himself like a pig's head, Ma Lu saw him like this, and he felt extremely strange in his heart.
In the original history, An Fatzi naturally reversed in the end. But why is Yang Guozhong so sure that An Fat Man wants to rebel? Is it because of Zhang Qujiang's sentence "Those who mess with China must be this nonsense"?
When later generations read history, Ma Ling always thought that Zhang Jiuling's comment on An Fatzi was just made up by later generations, but he didn't expect to hear Yang Guozhong say this sentence in front of everyone today.
The lieutenant saw that Yang Guozhong fanned himself first, and it was not easy to start standing there. Li Longji was furious, trembling with anger, gritting his teeth and looking at Yang Guozhong without saying a word.
Not only Ma Lan was shocked, but the ministers and concubines present were also surprised.
Yang Guozhong rose to prominence within ten years, and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, relying on the drill camp, although he ascended to the stage, his reputation was not good, and no one ever thought that Yang Guozhong was a direct minister who dared to touch the scales.
What Yang Guozhong said today is shocking, but Yang Guozhong's performance is even more incredible.
"Go back to the palace! Back to the palace! After a while, seeing that Yang Guozhong had no intention of stopping at all, Li Longji finally shouted angrily and strode towards the high platform.
Ma Lan waited for the Son of Heaven to get on the chariot, and with a wave of his big hand, eight hundred Anxi athletes rode their horses and followed, protecting both sides of the chariot.
He is a bit similar to Yang Guozhong, it can also be said that he ascended to heaven in one step, his foundation is unstable, and his power depends on the Son of Heaven, so he must firmly hold the thigh of the Son of Heaven.
Let him and Yang Guozhong disobey the Son of Heaven in public, he will never do it. Now that there is a performance, how can he let it go.
Seeing Ma Lu like this, Li Longji's face showed a look of approval, his expression eased slightly, and he turned back to Jia Zhi and said: "Spread my will, Yang Guozhong is rude, he will be fined for three years, and he will go home and introspect for ten days!" Then he waved his hand: "Go back to the palace!" β
Sure enough, it is still Jane in the emperor's heart, if other ministers come out in public today, I am afraid that they will be killed in public. Yang Guozhong made such a big fuss, but he was only fined three years and ten days of self-examination, which can be said to be lightly spared.
A good martial arts performance in front of the monarch was ruined by Yang Guozhong's sudden offense. However, Ma Lu can see that Li Longji is still extremely satisfied with his performance. For him, today is also a great reward.
With so many people present today, it is impossible for Yang Guozhong's words to be concealed, and after they spread, they will immediately cause great waves.
After all, the hat of rebellion is too big. When such words come out, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan.
An Lushan has a luxurious mansion in Chang'an City, and there are a large number of guests at home, including An Qingzong, who is also in Chang'an City, and they know today's events, and soon An Lushan will also know.
Ma Lu imagined that he was in the position of An Lushan, and a chill suddenly rose on his back.
was openly forced to this point, and it was really necessary to rebel if it was not reversed.
"I only hope that after An Lushan learns the news, he will not be afraid to come to Chang'an, otherwise my second plan will not be launched." Ma Lan said in his heart.
β¦β¦
With 800 athletes to send Li Longji all the way to Xingqing Palace, after Ma Ling bowed to the Son of Heaven, he asked a few captains to take the athletes back to the military camp of the Longwu Army, and he took his own soldiers directly to Yankangfang.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Yankangfang, I saw a tall young man standing on the side of the street, who greeted him with a smile on his face and shouted, "Uncle Ma!" β
"Didn't I tell you to come in three days? Why did you come so soon? Mar asked.
Niu Xu smiled and said, "My nephew has nothing to deal with, so I'm here to find you, Uncle Pony." Uncle Pony, when will you take me to get the Seven Stone Bow? β
Ma Lan turned his head and waved his hand, Li Zhengde and Ma Yong and Ma Qiang galloped forward with their own soldiers, and Ma Lan looked at Niu Xu and whispered: "You came just in time, and I was about to look for you." The Seven Stone Bow can be taken at any time, you go back and talk to your eighth uncle first, and ask him to wait for me at Cai Pozi Wine Shop, if your Uncle Lei can also go, it would be the best. β
Niu Xu nodded and jumped out along the street. Ma Lan beat his horse to catch up with his own soldiers and went straight back to the Fufeng County Palace.
In less than half a day, the county king's mansion has changed greatly, the original sign of the Fufeng County Marquis Mansion has disappeared, and the sign hanging outside the gate reads "Fufeng County King" four big characters.
Ma Lan saw that these four words were written very ordinarily, and they didn't seem to be written by famous artists, so he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he was shocked when he looked at it carefully.
It's actually Li Longji's imperial pen!
It seems that the matter of being crowned the king of the county has actually been decided a long time ago. It is a great honor to be able to get the lintel of the Son of Heaven's handwriting. Ma Yong, Ma Qiang and the athletes were also extremely excited when they saw this plaque.
Back in the mansion, Yang Youniang greeted her and grabbed the reins. The corners of her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and she looked pitiful, and said softly: "There are more than 20 ministers who came to visit our house in the morning, and I have deposited all the gifts in the treasury, and in additionββ"
Ma Lan jumped off the horse and nodded to her, saying, "You can just call these little things." After saying that, he ignored her and strode to the backyard.
Yang Youniang was stunned and hurriedly followed.
Entering Ma Lan's room, seeing that Ma Lan had taken off his armor and was changing into a more ordinary set of clothes, Yang Youniang asked in a low voice, "Husband, do you want to go out?" β
"Let my brothers eat first, and I'll be back as soon as I go out." Ma Xuan said, and he had already flashed out the door.
Yang Youniang wanted to go out with her, but her expression was gloomy, and she stood silently in place.
β¦β¦
In the small wine shop of Mrs. Cai in Dongshi, there was a man in his forties and fifties sitting opposite Nan Jiyun, who was tall and long-legged and imposing.
Although the wine of Mrs. Cai's house is lighter, there are also Hu girls who sell wine scratching their heads. These two bearded girls have an ordinary appearance, that is, their breasts are a little bigger. In Chang'an City, such bearded girls are everywhere.
Niu Xu already had a lot of empty wine jugs in front of him, and filled the wine glass in front of him, the tall man frowned and said, "Little calf, if you drink it again, I won't have any money to pay for it later." β
"Lao Lei, I don't need you to be the east today, the one who invited us here today is an old man I haven't seen for more than ten years." Nan Jiyun looked at the man and smiled, "Don't dare to say anything else, drink a few pots of light wine from him, we don't have to be polite to him." β
"An old man I haven't seen for more than ten years?" Lei Wanchun frowned, "Which one are you talking about?" β
Nan Jiyun was about to answer, when a person lifted the curtain and walked in, stuffing a handful of copper coins in each of the arms of the two bearded girls at the door, and at the same time did not forget to touch the two handfuls, which made the two bearded girls giggle.
"It's coming!" Nan Jiyun smiled.
Lei Wanchun looked at the person who came, his expression was slightly in a trance, and the face of the person who came was full of smiles, and he said loudly: "Brother Lei! β
"Ponies!"
Lei Wanchun was surprised and delighted, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table, almost slapping the table apart, and shouted loudly: "Good little rabbit!" I haven't heard from Anxi for so many years, and I thought my brother was dead! β
Mrs. Cai, who was in the middle room, walked out quickly when she heard the sound, looked at Ma Lan and rubbed the corners of her eyes vigorously, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Sister Cai, old rules, help us control the wind." Ma Lan smiled, took out two heavy coins and respectfully put them in Mrs. Cai's hand.
"Hey! Ay! You little killer, the old body thought I wouldn't see you anymore! Mrs. Cai looked happy, looked at Ma Lan as if she was looking at her own children and nephews, and stretched out her hand and twisted it on Ma Lan's face.
The two Hu girls are also old acquaintances, and they also recognized Ma Lu at this time, and covered their mouths in surprise one by one. Cai Pozi walked up to the two of them, dragged the two of them and walked out.
"Pony, how have you been all these years? It's been more than ten years, but I miss my brother. β
After Ma Lan sat down, Lei Wanchun slapped Ma Lan on the shoulder and laughed loudly.
Ma Ling grinned in pain, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lei, brother, I think about you in Anxi." β
"Twelve years, that's fast!" Lei Wanchun sighed with emotion, "Xiaoma, how have you been doing in Anxi all these years?" When will you return to Chang'an? β
Nan Jiyun smiled: "Brother Lei, there is something I haven't had time to tell you yet. The pony is the new king of Fufeng County, and the Pingzhang of the same book. Unexpectedly, our little brother back then is now a very good minister! β
"What!"
Lei Wanchun's eyes widened and he looked straight at Ma Lan.
"I just found out about this last night, and that's what you are." Nan Jiyun laughed, "If our brother doesn't fight his autumn wind, it's still okay to drink his wine." β
It took a while for Lei Wanchun to recover from the shock.
Ma Lan was less than 20 years old when he left Chang'an to go to Anxi, but he was just a weak-crowned teenager, but now he is a very popular minister and has become a hot figure, and is regarded as the second Li Weigong, the new generation of military gods of the Tang Dynasty. Such a huge contrast made Lei Wanchun extremely shocked.
When the three brothers talked about the old things, they were all extremely embarrassed.
"Pony, did you let your two brothers come here, did you encounter any difficulties and it was inconvenient for you to make a move? After all, your status today is different from ours. β
After three rounds of drinking, Nan Jiyun put down the wine bowl and laughed: "If there is anything, you can say it, and my brothers can do their part." Lao Lei and I both know your character, and we will definitely not let us do anything that hurts nature. Your brother doesn't need to be polite, what do you want us to do? β
Ma Lan nodded, they are all straight-hearted men, and they speak straightforwardly, and they really don't need any foreshadowing.
"The two eldest brothers, the younger brother invited you here today for a major event related to the Tang Dynasty." Ma Lan looked at Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, and said solemnly, "I want to get rid of An Lushan, and I still need the help of the two eldest brothers in this matter." β
"Get rid of An Lushan? Why? Nan Jiyun frowned.
Lei Wanchun slapped his thigh and laughed: "What, why not!" That fat pig is used to killing good and risking merit in Hebei Province, but it is not useful to really fight, how much Yan Zhao Erlang was lost in Tianmenling last year, this one alone should be killed! Relying on the saint Zhenglong's nonsense, Lao Tzu has long looked at him unpleasantly! Pony, what are we going to do about this? β
Nan Jiyun looked at Ma Lan.
Ma Xuan said solemnly: "If it's just these, it's nothing. Don't hide it from the two eldest brothers, that fat pig is ambitious and wants to rebel! (To be continued.) )
