readx; Walking the Yangtze River is not Yang Guozhong's idea, when Pei Zunqing was in charge of Caoyun, he put forward this plan, in fact, it was also transported on a small scale, but then it was not promoted on a large scale, but it was indeed Yang Guozhong's patent to send the prince to sit in Jianghuai, in history, Li Longji had a very strict control over his sons, and they were never allowed to leave the capital for a step, but after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji sent his son to all parts of the country, but now it is still the eleventh year of Tianbao, at least in Li Longji's heart, the Tang Dynasty is still in the aftermath of the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, In this case, Yang Guozhong's suggestion to send the prince to sit in the wealthy Jianghuai is indeed at the risk of being refuted by Li Longji on the spot, if he had suggested this a month ago, the result would definitely be angrily reprimanded, but now it will not be, Li Longji has just sent his eldest son to Anxi to take up the town, and has already set a precedent for sending the prince to the local office, which shows that the principle in his heart that the prince is not allowed to leave Beijing has been relaxed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Longji pondered for a moment and then said, "Then who do you think is better to send to Jianghuai?" ”

"The minister recommended Yongwang Xuan, Yongwang was strict and upright, meticulous, and the minister thought that he was the most suitable to go to Jianghuai."

This is Yang Guozhong's purpose, whether there is food in the capital or not, he doesn't really care, what he cares about is who is in charge of the East Palace, among the three popular princes, the most popular King Di has been imprisoned, followed by King Ying and King Yong, Yang Guozhong thinks that the prince of the new East Palace will come out of these two, but who will it be? It is difficult to judge until now, in order to find a clue, Yang Guozhong used the suggestion of sitting in the southeast to test Li Longji.

"Alright! I know about it, I will consider it, and if it is feasible, I will agree. ”

After speaking, Li Longji stood up, ignored Yang Guozhong, and left the imperial study, Yang Guozhong stood stunned for a long time, Yu Chaoen stepped forward and said: "Yang Shangshu, Your Majesty has left, you should go back and rest!" ”

He lifted the lantern and said with a smile: "I'll send Yang Shangshu and his party." ”

Yu Chaoen carried the lantern in front of him, Yang Guozhong followed him, walking with a heavy heart, seeing that there was no one around, Yu Chaoen said in a low voice: "The Holy Lord favors Concubine Mei again, I'm afraid it will be bad for the concubine, does Shangshu need me to do anything?" ”

Yang Guozhong was shocked from his contemplation, and he hurriedly said: "Concubine Mei doesn't have to worry about her, the key is not to let the one from the Dugu family enter the palace, remember, you can't let her enter the palace no matter what." ”

"I remember, does Yang Shangshu have any other orders?"

Yang Guozhong thought for a while and said: "There is also the heir of the East Palace, who the Holy Lord chooses, this is very important to me, you must inquire." ”

Yu Chaoen didn't have Gao Lishi's political vision, nor did he have Gao Lishi's understanding of Li Longji, he couldn't understand Li Longji's inner thoughts, so he didn't know that Li Longji had actually set the emperor's eldest grandson, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Yang Shangshu don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to this matter, but..."

Speaking the word 'but', Yu Chaoen's smile became ambiguous.

Yang Guozhong knew what he meant, so he said, "Don't worry! I will thank you again, according to the old rules, tomorrow you send your henchmen to my house! ”

"Thank you Yang Shangshu! I still have to serve the Holy One, so I won't send it. ”

Yu Chaoen was proud in his heart, said goodbye to Yang Guozhong, turned around and left, Yang Guozhong looked at his back, and couldn't help but secretly 'hum! 'Sighed.

．．．．．．． In Gao Lishi's mansion, Gao Lishi slowly walked to the front of Li Qing'an's small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and the housekeeper who was responsible for taking care of Li Qing'an's living hurriedly gave a salute, "Master! ”

"What about General Li, have you rested?"

"Master, he's still bathing."

"Hmmm! When he had finished bathing, I invited him to my room, and I said that I had something to say to him. ”

After Gao Lishi finished speaking, he turned around and left, the housekeeper looked at the bathroom with the doors and windows closed, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, it's been almost half an hour, haven't they finished yet?

The bath room was steaming, in the large bathtub three feet wide, Li Qing'an was half soaked in hot water, and was enjoying the relaxation after the passion with his eyes closed.

"Big brother, what official can you seal tomorrow?" Picturesque asked, huddled her wonderful and moving ** close to him.

Li Qingan stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist and smiled: "What official do you think I can make?" ”

"I think you can be crowned king, what King Lu, King Qi and the like, the eldest brother is in charge of such a big place, at worst, he should be crowned the king of Anxi!"

Li Qingan smiled, then raised his head and asked Rushi: "Rushi, what do you think?" ”

Rushi was combing his hair, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were still rippling with spring after passion, she glanced at Ailang coquettishly, and said: "I heard that the bigger the official sits, the emperor will be jealous, I hope that the eldest brother's official is not too big, and he will live peacefully." ”

Li Qingan smiled and said: "Men are ambitious, everyone will think they are small, and I am no exception, people in the court, they can't help themselves, if they don't advance, they will retreat, this is like walking across a single-plank bridge, after walking through this pass, the sea and the sky will be wide, but if you can't go over, you can only fall into the abyss." ”

Rushi was stunned for a moment, the movements of her hands slowed down, Li Qingan understood her thoughts, and reached out to hold her in his arms, and said softly to their sisters: "Don't worry, even if something happens to me, I will arrange you well, and I will give you enough money to live comfortably in the afterlife." ”

"Big brother, I don't want money, I just want you to be safe!"

Rushi hugged him with some emotion, and said anxiously: "You promise me, you can't have anything, you say, you say it quickly!" ”

"Big brother, I don't want anything to happen to you!" Picturesque on the side is also the road.

Li Qing'an looked at the pair of twin sisters who looked exactly the same in front of him, and secretly thought in his heart: "If there is something to do with him, Rushi will definitely follow him, but it is not necessarily picturesque, although the appearance is similar, the heart is completely different." ’

He patted the sisters' faces lightly and said with a smile: "I'm just talking, I'll be fine, even if the current emperor can't touch me." ”

Rushi sighed, gently pressed her face against his chest, and after a long time, she whispered: "Big brother, you are about to marry a wife, to be honest, we are all a little scared." ”

"Big brother, me too!"

Ruhua whispered in his ear: "My temper is not good, I am worried that Sister Mingyue will not be able to tolerate me in the future." ”

"That's because you think too much, Mingyue is everyone's beautiful girl, broad-minded, you see her dissolve the marriage contract for the dance dress, you can see that she is not a cautious person, as long as you respect her and respect her as the elder, she will treat you well, after all, you are my concubine, I will also have my own family rules at that time, you can rest assured!"

At this time, the voice of the housekeeper's wife came from outside the door, "General, the master said that he was looking for you for something!" ”

"I see, that's good!"

Li Qing'an stretched his waist for a long time, and then hugged the second daughter and rubbed it between their breasts and buttocks for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, we can't soak anymore, let's wash and get up!" ”

The picturesque sister hurriedly got up, combed his hair and wiped his body, and after a while, Li Qing'an finished bathing, changed into a comfortable new robe, and walked into the courtyard, and the housekeeper's wife hurriedly stepped forward to report: "General, the master invited you to his room, he said that he had something to talk to you." ”

Li Qingan nodded, turned back to the sisters and said, "You guys go back to the house and clean up first!" Tomorrow I will go to the morning pilgrimage and take out my court clothes. ”

The sisters agreed, went upstairs and went back to the room, and Li Qingan walked to Gao Lishi's room.

There were a few candles lit in Gao Lishi's room, and the light was bright, and he was sitting under the lamp reading a book, when a maid said, "Master, General Li is here." ”

Gao Lishi put down the book, only to see Li Qingan walk in with a smile, and saluted him: "Gao Weng, are you looking for me?" ”

"Come on! Shichiro, sit down. ”

Gao Lishi invited Li Qing'an to sit down, and asked the maid to bring in two cups of tea, and he smiled and said, "Qilang, tomorrow is the court meeting, what do you have in mind?" ”

"I'm thinking, how big might my surname be when I am the king of the county? Two days ago, Lee Sang-kook told me that I was very likely to be crowned the king of the county, but if this happened tonight, will he change his mind? ”

"It's not going to be, I know him very well, although he has thoughts about Mingyue, but he won't be angry with you because of this, women are important, but his country is more important, Shichiro, do you understand?"

Li Qing'an nodded and said, "Today, Ge Shuhan stopped me halfway, hoping that I could cooperate with him to launch a campaign against Tubo, and the Holy Lord has approved it, I think maybe it's because of this." ”

"Humph! Desperate and unrepentant! ”

Gao Lishi snorted heavily, and said to Li Qing'an: "I don't mean you, I mean today's saint, he always thinks that it is still the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and thinks that the world is rich, but he doesn't know that the Tang Dynasty has been extremely weak, and the light goods in the warehouses around the country have been sold by Yang Guozhong, and the money has been accumulated in Zuozang, creating the illusion of wealth in the world, in fact, the warehouses in various places are empty, especially the heavy rain that generally fell for more than a month in Jianghuai last year, and there was no harvest in many places, and the losses were heavy, but the saints knew nothing, only knew that they forced Jianghuai to transport grain all day long, so that Jianghuai repeatedly increased taxes, Provoked the people's resentment boiling, five or six out of ten abandoned the field and fled, the saint not only did not know thrift, but more extravagant, to the concubine to celebrate the birthday of the left Tibetan money, last year Gao Xianzhi pacified the Southern Zhao judgment chaos, can only be said to be a tragic victory, 200,000 troops only left 120,000, the rich land of Bashu was also dragged down by this war, the imperial court Taicang 1.5 million stone rice, in the end only less than 400,000 stone remained, even the hundred officials' Lu rice has been halved, now he is even better and happy, Ge Shuhan proposed to launch a war against Tibet, he readily agreed, In order to seize the barren land of Tubo, you must know that this kind of war will completely plunge Datang into the abyss, Qilang, you have been in Anxi for a long time, and Datang is actually only left with an empty shelf. ”

Gao Lishi was a little excited, and he poured out all the resentment that had accumulated in his chest in the past few years, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Li Qing'an was silent for a moment and asked, "Has Gao Weng told the Holy Lord these words?" ”

"Why didn't you say it?"

Chief Colliers sighed and said: "It's because he said too much that he was disgusted, saying that I was alarmist, he only liked Yu Chaoen's kind of villain who could only flatter, and he was also convinced of what Yang Guozhong said, he is no longer the emperor of Zhongxing who worked hard in the past, he is really old and confused now, and he is actually ** heartbroken, and wants to take the wife of a heavy minister, where is this still an emperor who has made a difference." ”

Gao Lishi was heartbroken, took out a booklet from the table, and said: "I am already disheartened, and I plan to return to my hometown after you get married, and go back to Panzhou in Lingnan, I don't want to stay in Chang'an anymore." ”

Hearing that Gao Lishi intends to return to his hometown, Li Qingan couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said: "If Gao Weng leaves, I will really have no one in the court." ”

Gao Lishi smiled slightly, "I think when I first saw you, you were just a school captain, playing polo for me, but now that you have been promoted to the king of the county, what else is there to worry about, you can be like An Lushan, cultivate your own power in the court, and besides, you still have Wang Heng as an ally, how can you say that there is no one in the court?" ”

Speaking of An Lushan, Li Qingan was reminded all of a sudden, and he asked slowly: "I heard a saying in Anxi that An Lushan has objections, I don't know if it's true?" ”

This is what Li Qing'an is most concerned about, and now that the details of history have changed a lot, can the Anshi Rebellion still break out like before? According to the information he got from Hebei, An Lushan has completely mastered the military and political power of Hebei, minting coins and storing grain, and it is also said that his troops are no longer more than Fan Yang and Lu Long's rated soldiers, he has privately recruited at least 40,000 horses, if you look at the social trend of the Tang Dynasty, the rebellion always breaks out when the people are not able to make a living and the people's grievances are boiling to the peak, and the current Datang society is in line with the eve of the rebellion.

Li Qing'an's question made Gao Lishi a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer, in fact, not only Li Qing'an, many people in the government and the opposition have this suspicion, the key is that An Lushan has controlled Fan Yang for nearly 20 years, if according to the rotation system of the Tang Festival envoys, he should change places after staying for five years at most, but for some reason, An Lushan can stay in Fan Yang for so long, he still remembers that Zhang Jiuling once mentioned this question to the Shengshang, and the Shengshang's reply was, 'Non-An Lushan can't suppress the Khitan.' ’

Maybe this is a reason, the saint can suspect that Wang Zhonghei is suspected of rebellion, but he never suspects An Lushan, Ge Shuhan and these Hu people, perhaps in his opinion, rebellion is only carried out by Han people, which is also the second reason, and An Lushan is good at voting for Li Longji's favor, good at showing loyalty, good at currying favor with Li Linfu when he was in the heyday of power, and of course, he is also good at pleasing himself.

For various reasons, An Lushan's position was as stable as a rock, and he didn't even bother to send the prison army, on the contrary, Li Longji not only sent the prison army to Anxi, but even sent the prince to sit in the town, just because Li Qing'an was a Han Chinese.

"Qilang, whether An Lushan will rebel, I really don't know, although there are some rumors now, but there is no definite evidence, however, the Tang Dynasty border army is too heavy, and the Central Plains soldiers are empty, this is indeed a great danger, the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, and it is necessary to defend with heavy troops, and the former Central Plains soldiers have been lost, but the imperial court does not have such a large financial resources to recruit troops to enrich the Central Plains, in the final analysis, it is the reason why the land annexation is too ruthless."

"Does the saint think An Lushan will rebel?"

Gao Lishi smiled, "If the saint had doubted him, he would have been transferred back to Chang'an a long time ago, Qilang, the saint believes in him, but it is far more than he believes in you!" ”

Li Qingan nodded silently, and said, "If Gao Weng is fine, I will go back." ”

"Go ahead! I called you here to tell you that I have decided to return to my hometown and do not want to ask about the affairs of the DPRK and China anymore. ”

Gao Lishi stood up and said with a smile: "Tomorrow's morning court may be the last time I go to the morning court, I have been in the palace for fifty years, and I have been in power for a while, and I am so proud, it is not in vain for my life, Qilang, tomorrow, I wish you another step." ”

．．．．．．．． The next day, the day is not yet bright, the rumbling drum will be beaten, the door of the fang is opened, the courtiers scattered in the square have gone out, against the night to the Daming Palace, all the way is the world of lanterns, the high-grade ministers are riding in the carriage, and the low-level officials are riding forward, along the way the wheels are ringing, the sound of horses' hooves knocking on the ground, this is the first court meeting after the New Year's Dynasty in the eleventh year of Tianbao, the scale is the big dynasty, and the officials above the seven grades in Beijing must participate.

Gao Lishi and his son had already left in a carriage, he was a hussar general, Kaifu Yi and the third division of the court meeting, Li Longji no longer needed him.

Li Qing'an's carriage has also stopped at the door, the carriage is the one that Ge Shuhan gave him, he took it back directly last night, and hundreds of guards next to the carriage were guarding left and right, and Li Qing'an changed to the carriage, which also relieved them a lot of pressure.

Wuyi lives in Dugu Mansion, not here, the picturesque sisters sent Li Qingan out of the gate, "You guys go to Dugu Mansion today to help!" I'll probably go to the barracks in the evening and not come back here. ”

He explained a few words to the sisters, and then got into the carriage, the coachman whipped, the carriage started, and drove in the direction of Daming Palace, the carriage was unusually wide, surrounded by thick iron sheets, not afraid of bows and arrows, an orange-red lantern hung on the wheel, which was written in black with the five words of 'Anxi Jiedu Li', the font was strong, and the carriage was also inserted with the festival of the festival, and the hundred guards were tall and mighty, murderous, and particularly eye-catching.

The carriage was lit with candles and the light was bright, Li Qing'an sat in the wide carriage, carefully reading his work report, the report had already been handed in, Li Longji had already decided to adopt his plan to immigrate to Anxi, and at the same time decided to build a straight road in Tang and shorten the time from Datang to Anxi, including Li Cong's sitting in Anxi, which will be officially announced today.

However, Li Qing'an was also concerned about another detail, that is, recruiting 500 young scholars from the state schools of Guozijian and Guanzhong and Longyou to persuade them to study in Anxi, and another 300 volunteers from the state and county governments of the Central Plains were selected to serve in Anxi for three years, mainly responsible for establishing prefectures and counties and relocating immigrants.

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment, since Ge Shuhan was going to launch a two-front campaign, Li Longji would definitely have to talk to him alone, so he could make these two requests at that time.

There are a lot of court officials living in Yishan Fang, everyone almost goes out at the same time, when they arrive at the Fang Gate, the traffic and horses are lined up in a long line, the court officials also see Li Qing'an's carriage, everyone does not dare to approach him, they all follow from a distance, at this time, a horse runs in front of the Fang Gate, and immediately a messenger said loudly: "Where is the general?" ”

"What's the matter?" Li Qingan raised the curtain and asked.

"Report to the general, the envoy of the Prince of Great Food has arrived in Xianyang!"
