Chapter 2 Unexpected Circumstances

—— "Marshal Li Jue, the commander of the soldiers and horses, lead the generals under his command to meet Your Majesty," Seeing Li Longji coming over, Li Jue, who was dressed in military uniform, strode forward, knelt on one knee, and said very respectfully: "The ministers dare not be treated by Your Majesty so politely, please return the favor from Your Majesty!"

Because he was so excited, Li Jue's voice trembled a little when he said these words.

Yang Xi, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other generals also followed behind Li Jue, saying the same humble words, saying that they did not dare to be the emperor's demotion ceremony.

But Li Longji ignored it, stepped forward to pick up Li Jue, and said loudly in front of the generals: "The soldiers fought bloodily and finally quelled the rebellion, I am very happy, so today I personally led the prince and the ministers to Mingdemen to greet the victory of the soldiers." If the rebellion is peaceful, the world will eventually be peaceful, and it is not an exaggeration for you to make great contributions and be welcomed by me. The generals have worked hard, and after a few days, I will reward you with my own weight!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, and the ministers are grateful!" Li Jue had to hurry up and thank you again.

"King Yan has worked hard, I am very happy that you have performed so well in this battle," Li Longji took Li Jue's hand, smiled and patted his arm, as a sign of his intimacy, "I really didn't expect that you still have such a talent to lead the army to fight!"

"Thank you for your father's praise, my son fortunately lived up to his mission, and finally led the army to quell the rebellion, and did not disappoint my father!" In the face of Li Longji's special praise, Li Jue was a little carried away, and the corners of his mouth twitched upwards vigorously, "This is what a son should do, he can share his father's worries, his son is very lucky, and he will never dare to be rewarded by his father." As long as the world is stable, the sons will also be at ease. ”

Yang Xi, who was standing behind him, clearly saw that when Li Longji expressed such an intimate act, Li Heng behind Li Longji looked very unnatural, and there seemed to be anger flashing in his eyes. He knew that this prince brother had already sniffed out something wrong, and after Li Jue returned to the court, maybe there would be a fight between the two brothers, and the court would be lively. In the course of the war, Yang Xi took credit for Li Jue, he knew that his credit was already big enough, and if he got the credit, even the emperor didn't know how to reward himself.

All the credit is recorded in Li Jue's name, including the battle of conquering Luoyang, then Li Jue's reputation will definitely be greatly improved, and Li Longji will not be in trouble, and he doesn't know how to reward him as a young commander. Of course, Yang Xi hoped that there would be a fight between Li Heng and Li Jue, and if there was a fight between the two brothers, he would definitely stand on Li Jue's point and help him defeat Li Heng and obtain the crown prince. The rebellion was quelled, and the next thing to do was to try to prevent Li Heng from becoming emperor and avoid trouble from befalling the Yang family and him, which was Yang Xi's plan now.

After Li Longji praised Li Jue a few words, he let go of his hand and walked to Yang Xi and Guo Ziyi behind him. Yang Xi and Guo Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute again.

"Yang Xi, I'm very glad that I let you continue to lead the army at the front," Li Longji walked up to Yang Xi with a smile on his face, ignoring the surprise of the ministers, and patted Yang Xi's shoulder vigorously, "I believe that if after the Battle of Shaanxi County, I will remove you from the position of leading marshal and replace it with someone else, and the rebellion will not be able to be quelled." ”

Li Longji's words surprised Yang Xi, it seems that Li Longji still knows everything. Although the credit for the battle report he presented was credited to Li Jue, Li Longji knew that the actual credit was his, and he knew that it was precisely because of his role that Luoyang could be conquered so quickly, and the rebellion was quelled in just two years, otherwise there would be no such thing as today.

But at this time, Yang Xi will not have any distinction and explanation, and can only give a salute to thank: "Your Majesty has praised it, the minister is just fulfilling his duties and wanting to do his part for the stability of the world!" I believe that no minister volunteered to lead the army, and there are so many soldiers who are good at fighting in my Tang Dynasty, and the rebels in An Lushan will not be rampant for too long, and the rebellion will eventually subside. ”

Seeing that Yang Xi was so interested, the smile on Li Longji's face became even stronger, but he didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and then walked towards the other generals. Li Longji also praised Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Xun, and other generals who had made outstanding achievements in the process of counterinsurgency, and said that he would definitely give them heavy rewards and tell the world about their deeds.

After commending the soldiers, Li Longji walked back to the side of the chariot, then sank his face and shouted: "Bring An Lushan up!"

With Li Longji's order, An Lushan, who was tied up in the prisoner car, looked very haggard because of the bumps of the long march, was pushed up under the escort of a group of sergeants.

Li Longji sat on a high carriage and looked condescendingly at An Lushan in the prisoner car, his eyes became extremely cold. An Lushan raised a pair of slightly cloudy eyes and looked up at Li Longji.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and finally Li Longji's anger was completely aroused, and he shouted angrily: "An Lushan, I ask you, I treat you so trusted, why do you still want to rebel?" ”

Since the Tang army broke through the Luoyang Imperial City, An Lushan has been continuously humiliated, the expression on his face has been a little numb, and the anger in his heart is also very heavy. After raising the army, I found that you are really incompetent and incompetent, and you are no longer worthy to govern the world. For the sake of the people of the world, and not to let them be displaced because of your incompetence, I have decided to replace them......"

"Nonsense!" Li Longji became more and more angry, he couldn't imagine that An Lushan was so arrogant after the defeat, and dared to call himself "I" in front of him. and also accused him of being mediocre and incompetent, saying that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, if he had a sword in his hand now, he would probably stab directly into An Lushan's body, and in the end he couldn't help it, and interrupted An Lushan's words angrily.

An Lushan didn't care, and continued to sneer and mock: "Li Longji, you faint king, you don't know the current ...... of the world."

However, he only said half a sentence of mockery, and there was no way to say any more, because Yang Xi, who was standing on the side of the prisoner car at this time, suddenly stretched out his fist and hit him hard in the mouth. With An Lushan's scream, his mocking words stopped abruptly, his head was also crooked, and he hit the prisoner car, several teeth were beaten out, and his mouth was full of blood, and he could no longer speak.

Li Longji glanced at Yang Xi appreciatively, happy for Yang Xi's quick decision, and felt that the evil spirit was a little out.

He originally wanted to humiliate An Lushan in public to vent his bad anger, but when he was thought of, he was robbed by An Lushan and almost lost face. If Yang Xi hadn't made a sudden move, maybe An Lushan would have scolded even more ugly words, losing his face as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. "Escort An Lushan down, and after a few days, behead him in public in the West Market!" Li Longji stood up straight on the chariot and roared out such a sentence.

After saying this, his heart was extremely happy. Now An Lushan's life and death are decided by him, originally he didn't want to kill An Lushan, but now after such a situation, it is no longer possible to leave An Lushan's surname. (To be continued.) )
