For an elderly person whose family has changed suddenly, it is really a joyful thing for a separated family member to come and see him. This can even make him forget some of his previous unhappiness and forget his past eccentricity.

Princess Xincheng Dugu Ming and Princess Jianping said that they offended the Yang family in Xiangxuehai back then, and were repeatedly slandered by the Yang sisters, and even almost married their daughters to the Khitan and Xi who rebelled in a blink of an eye. It can be said that Li Longji has always been unwilling to see these two horses, but now it is different, the two horses came to see them, which made Li Longji extremely happy.

With the two horses, there were many relatives and nobles, but they were all the ones who had been neglected in the past, and they had no real power in their hands, and Li Longji was not happy, so everyone formed a group. At the beginning, Ye Chang ran the Anton Chamber of Commerce, and they were the most active investors, and now they are also very keen on various workshops, workshops, mines, and plantations opened in various places.

In the past ten years, they have made a fortune quietly, and unlike other powerful people who have bought houses in Beijing, although they have also bought properties in Beijing, their main industries are still in other places. Therefore, in this Chang'an Rebellion, the magnates in Beijing suffered heavy losses, but they were relatively less damaged.

People have nothing to do, there is no shortage of money, and it is a great thing in this chaotic period.

"You mean ......"

"Exactly, we are willing to sacrifice a million to the imperial court." Dugu Ming, as the leader of these clan relatives and nobles, after seeing Li Longji, after saying goodbye for a while, he presented an excerpt, Gao Lishi forwarded it to Li Longji, and Li Longji was taken aback after reading it.

I miss the difficulty of the court, and as a minister and son-in-law, I offer millions of dollars to fill it......

Sandwiched in the fold, there is also a million yuan of flying money, which is stamped with more than ten seals of the size of the flying money bill, as long as one month in advance, you can take out half of it after a month, that is, fifty yuan, and then a month later, you can take out the other half. If there is not enough copper coins, they will be converted with gold and silver.

Even after the fall of Chang'an, based on the information obtained by Li Longji, except for the first three days of the run, the flying money of Andong Bank was stable, and even more stable than usual. After all, in the midst of war, it is more convenient and easier to hide anything that anyone can think of with a piece of paper or a pile of copper or silk.

This million yuan of flying money is really a relief for Li Longji, who fled in a hurry.

"How this makes you suffer a lot ......"

"We can earn this money, the biggest reliance is the support of the imperial court, if there is no saint for me to let go of it, where will we get this money? Now that the country is in turmoil, asking for money everywhere, rewarding soldiers and rewarding loyalty, these money can't be let Ye Gong come out, the court and His Majesty can't come out, who will come out? Dugu Ming said this, and said sincerely: "The minister is foolish, I didn't think of so much before, but after Ye Gong mentioned it, the minister understood." ”

It's Ye Chang again......

Li Longji was speechless when he heard this.

This time, Ye Chang covered him all the way, but he didn't support him much in terms of money, Li Longji only said at the beginning that he needed to spend money in the war, and the trade route was cut off, and Ye Chang's income was greatly reduced, so he didn't think about it. Now it seems that Ye Chang is not not giving money, but wants to give money through the hands of Dugu Ming and others.

Ye Chang's purpose is still to be cautious and self-controlled, so that he will not have the idea of buying people's hearts with money. Thinking that Ye Chang's painstaking efforts were just to maintain the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Li Longji was moved in his heart and almost cried for it.

He is not a carefree son of peace since he was a child, but he has been pampered and pampered over the years, which has made him gradually neglect political affairs, but it does not mean that he can't understand people's hearts and human nature. Ye Chang can do this step, and then compare with the crown prince, Yongwang and others, and make a judgment.

"I only hate Ye Chang if he is not my son, if Ye Chang is my son, at this time, I will immediately Zen at him, then I will not have to worry about it." He said with emotion.

Dugu Ming and the others looked at each other in surprise, but they didn't expect Li Longji to say such a thing.

Gao Lishi lowered his head and sighed secretly, he had advised him just now, this kind of thing cannot be said, after saying it, even if Ye Chang has no heart, others will inevitably write it down, and when it is useful, this sentence will either be the basis for Ye Chang's compilation, or the root of the new monarch's treatment of Ye Chang's crime.

"Now that the court has money, please ask Your Majesty to first distribute the rewards of the guards, and it is not easy for the guards to abandon their families and children and come here with the Son of Heaven." Chen Xuanli said on the side.

"That's a natural thing, in addition to the guards, the former generals and meritorious soldiers will also distribute some first, and the rest will be made up after I return to Beijing." Li Longji touched the flying money, people are greedy for money when they are old, especially in this situation, but he still has a clear priority, and then handed the money to Dugu Ming: "I want to make Qing the head of the household and manage the money for me, how to redeem and distribute this money will also be disposed of by Qing." ”

Dugu Ming was stunned for a moment, this is a million yuan in exchange for the position of a household secretary.

More than ten years ago, this is a beautiful thing that he can't ask for, but now, he feels a little tricky.

He smiled bitterly: "The minister is the son-in-law of the saint, and it is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the monarch's father......

"Qing asked himself, can you do a good job of this household book?" Li Longji asked.

Dugu Ming thought about it, he was not stupid in the first place, he had no grace in the past ten years, he had stopped fighting for power and profit, and concentrated on making money, and he learned a lot of financial management skills from Ye Chang. He asked himself that although he was not as good as Ye Chang, as long as he borrowed a few capable people from Ye Chang, it was far beyond Yang Guozhong and others. Therefore, he said: "Although the minister is dull, he has also gained some experience in building farms with Ye Gonggong Mine over the years, which is stronger than Yang Guozhong's generation." ”

"Then it will become, the external move does not avoid the enemy, the internal move does not avoid the relatives, when the country is in trouble, it is necessary for you to do your best. Not only you, but Yang said that my son-in-law should also have a role. Li Longji said slowly.

He said that to this extent, Dugu Ming, Yang Shuo, etc. are not good to refuse, but these two horses have had ups and downs, but they have not been carried away because of this, the two of them glanced at each other, verbally agreed, but in their hearts, they were pondering, this kind of thing, must be discussed with Ye Chang, and Ye Chang's opinion must be sought.

After a while, the eldest princess Yuzhen and Shou'an came, and everyone was related to each other. The eldest princess of Yuzhen saw that there were more than 20 noble relatives, all of whom were unhappy when the Yang family was favored. She couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart that these people avoided the coup d'état on Chinese New Year's Eve because they were not favored by Li Longji, which was really a blessing in disguise.

But she quickly realized: this is too much of a coincidence.

Almost all of these surviving nobles have a close relationship with Ye Chang, and when Ye Chang and Yang Guozhong competed at the beginning, they helped Ye Chang create momentum!

Without exception, they all left Chang'an some time before the Chinese New Year, some went to Nanshan to "meditate", some went to other manors to "inspect", and some simply "recuperated". Of course, it doesn't mean that among the nobles who fell into the hands of An Lushan, there were no ones who were friendly with Ye Chang, but if you calculated it carefully, Ye Chang was the closest and most capable among the powerful, and they were all able to get out.

This can't be a coincidence.

However, the eldest princess Yuzhen has experienced too many ups and downs, so she was shocked in her heart, but her face was silent. It's just decided that it is necessary to remind the royal brother in private.

Everyone deliberately avoided some sad topics, so the atmosphere was quite warm, and gradually there was a bit of laughter and laughter among the nobles in Chang'an City. They are happy here, naturally some people are unhappy, An Lushan has retreated to Xianyang at this time, this way is really angry, looking for excuses have been several generals and staff in a row, among which Yan Zhuang is the worst, almost every day he has to be whipped by him, and now he can no longer ride a horse, and can only move in the carriage.

Tian Chenghei's defeat did not surprise An Lushan, he made Tian Chenghe's department the "vanguard", the essence of which was to make his palace behind and cover his army to withdraw to Chang'an. But what he didn't expect was that Tian Chenghe's troops only held on to Ye Chang's army for one day, and the whole army was defeated at night. And Zhuo Junfu's pursuit was so crisp that his troops that took over Tian Chengren also collapsed, and there was no chance to organize the second layer of defense.

In such a situation, in order to get out, he can only cut off his tail to protect himself. He left all the 100,000 young men requisitioned from Chang'an City in the rear, and led his loyal subordinates to flee quickly, so he was able to escape back to Xianyang in such a short time.

"Is there any news in Chang'an City, has the news of our army's defeat reached Chang'an City?" After taking a breath in Xianyang, An Lushan asked about the generals who stayed here.

"King, there is no new news in Chang'an City, and the news of our army's defeat has also been blocked by me, and it is impossible to return to Chang'an in at least a day or two." The general was extremely capable, and immediately responded.

"Okay, okay...... Go back at once and say...... Just say......" An Lushan thought for a while, and didn't think about what to do, and shouted irritably: "Let Yan Zhuang come, let Yan Zhuang come over!" ”

In his original plan with Yan Zhuang, Tian Chengsi would block Ye Chang for at least five days, and with these five days, he could calmly withdraw to Chang'an, and arrange the defense of Chang'an, and then act in Chang'an City.

But not now, he has to use a trick.

Yan Zhuang hadn't arrived yet, but Liu Luogu came, his expression was a little strange, and he hesitated a little when he saw An Lushan's furious appearance. An Lushan vaguely looked at a person there, and said angrily: "Why are you advancing and retreating, do you want to rebel?" Come on, drag it down, call me! ”

He didn't know if it was because of the injury or other reasons, he saw that his strength was good or bad, but he didn't see who it was, and when Liu Luogu was dragged down and beat him and begged for mercy, he realized that he was beating Liu Luogu, who had always been loyal to him. It's just that the order has been given, and at this time he doesn't want to change it, let alone see that he can't do it to be known, so he shouted at the moment: "Liu Luogu, you are my cronies, I have always trusted you, but you are also like them, you are like them, you break my military order, the fight is light, if there is a recidivism, you will not be spared!" ”

"King, I really have a military report!" Liu Luogu shouted: "It's just that I saw that the king had something, so I didn't dare to disturb, it's not that I have lost my ground!" ”

"Military intelligence, what's the matter?"

Liu Luogu has always been in charge of An Lushan's intelligence system, helping An Lushan make friends with the Chang'an magnates, bribing and bribing, and using all kinds of means. After An Lushan entered Beijing and launched a coup d'état, he had more power in his hands, although he did not become An Lushan's mastermind like Yan Zhuang, but An Lushan would consult him on military and political personnel and all aspects of affairs. At this time, he was almost beaten, not only scared him half to death, but also made him lose face, but when he heard An Lushan ask like this, he didn't dare to hide it: "The source of Ye Chang's troops is already clear, most of them are road construction workers!" ”

"Road construction workers - rutted rails?" An Lushan suddenly understood, and then became furious: "How is this possible, just some people who dig mud and carry stones, how can they go into battle and fight?" ”

"Ye Chang takes veterans as the backbone, scatters among the road construction workers, and usually only says that in order to facilitate management, he is bound by military discipline, and in the name of daily disaster prevention and disaster preparedness, he has repeatedly drilled - he has long been disobedient, and these road construction workers are arranged near Chang'an!"

"You mean, my hundred battles are strong, and they are ...... Lost to a bunch of mud legs? An Lushan still didn't believe it.

This is not the era of hot weapons, as long as a short period of training can train soldiers to kill the enemy, the combat effectiveness of professional sergeants in the era of cold weapons is very different from that of ordinary people! It is hard for An Lushan to imagine that those road builders who built rutted track roads could defeat his army with equal strength.

"Ye Chang's troops are well-equipped, they are ordinary soldiers, they also have half-body steel armor, cotton armor, and a very large number of machine crossbows......

"Where did he get this equipment, don't tell me, those road builders usually have this equipment!"

"Originally, it was the equipment of the two towns of Anxi and Beiting, and it was placed in the arsenal of the Great Earthquake Pass, two years ago, Ye Chang asked for the construction of the arsenal in the Great Earthquake Pass, and he ...... He's prepared again! ”

When Liu Luogu said this, he really felt fear in his heart, two years ago, although An Lushan was domineering, he had absolutely no intention of launching a coup d'état, and he secretly cooperated with the crown prince Li Heng, and only supported each other. But Ye Chang's layout clearly started at that time or even earlier, could it be said that the rumors that Ye Chang could predict the future are true?

An Lushan was also aware of this, and muttered a curse, even if Liu Luogu was close, he didn't know what he was scolding.

At this moment, An Lushan's heart was full of remorse, but he also knew that regret was useless, since his subordinates chased and killed Ye Chang, the relationship between the two was not harmonious, and when Ye Chang arrived in Liaodong, sooner or later the two sides would have a showdown. Therefore, he did not regret being hostile to Ye Chang, what really made him regret it was that from the beginning, he despised Ye Chang, thinking that he had the support of Yang Guozhong and Li Heng, so he did not take Ye Chang, who had lost his military power, in his eyes.

Who would have thought that Ye Chang, who had lost his military power, actually had an army of 120,000 in secret!

"King, Yan Zhuang is here." When An Lushan regretted it in his heart, he could hear the voice of the voice.

He was in good spirits, and now he can't turn back, and if that's the case, then ...... One way to the dark!
