56, who has it in the world

"Nope. The Peacock King replied.

"What about the drunken teenager?" asked Sanada again.

The Peacock Dharma King paused for a moment, and then said in a very resolute tone: "No." ”

"Today's events always feel suspicious, so it's better to tell His Royal Highness An Qingxu when I go back. ”

"Why? When did the gentleman become so eventful. The Peacock King stared at Sanada Jinggang's eyes and asked seriously.

"Hahahaha. Sanada shook his head and smiled, "You're such a strange person." ”

"Aren't you a strange person, too? The Peacock King said with a smile.

"What's wrong with me?"

"I know that you won't talk to An Qingxu about the old man and the young man. ”

"Are you so sure?"

"Definitely. Because – you and I – are proud enough people. The Peacock King said word by word.

"Hahahaha," Sanada Jinggang laughed wildly, and there was some loss in the laughter, "The sky is vast, there is no place for the Great Roc to spread its wings, the four seas are agitated, and there is no abyss for the giant whale to leap." ”

"Why, it seems, is he not satisfied with his current situation?"

In the cold wind and quiet Luoyang City, the red morning sun sprinkled on the vast Luoshui Glacier, like blood flowing, stirring up the infinite tragedy in the heart.

Faced with the Peacock King's straightforward question, Sanada Keixuna did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Dharma King, in fact, you disdain people like An Lushan and his son, right?"

"The poor monks and they just met in the water, they are not friends of the poor monks, and in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to become friends of the poor monks. But Mr. Sanada, since you are obsessed with soldiers and vertical and horizontal arts, a person like An Lushan should be a good choice for you?"

"Frankly, there was a time when I did think so. ”

"Oh?"

"Maybe when you reach my age, you'll understand that there will be a process of people's opinions on many things. When I first arrived in Datang, I was naturally conquered by the wealth and prosperity of Luoyang, Chang'an, I thought that Datang was a paradise on earth, but later I found that this was not the case, there are still many people who have no food to eat, will starve to death, and in winter they will freeze in the snow on the side of the road because there is not enough charcoal fire and cotton clothes. ”

"You think the world is unfair?"

"I don't know. I have seen some poor people who specialize in stealing chickens and dogs, killing people and stealing goods, I once tried to help a beggar and gave him silver taels to teach him to sell some groceries, but that night he went to the Qinglou, lived happily for a few days, and finally was beaten out by the turtle father, and then continued to live a begging life. ”

"It's fate. Sometimes, even the Buddha can't help everyone. ”

"However, I still think that an emperor should be a benevolent monarch who is considerate of the people and benefits all people. ”

"The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. ”

"What's the matter? The Dharma King is far away on the Great Snow Mountain, and he is also proficient in Mencius's writings?"

"I don't dare to say that I am proficient. When Princess Wencheng married my king Songtsen Gampo, when she came to Tibet, she brought a large number of books, in addition to Buddhist classics, as well as many Confucian classics and masters, to teach the people of Tibet to study. The poor monk also knew that Emperor Taizong liked to say "water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat", hahahaha, which is also the favorite sentence of today's Chisong Zanpu. ”

"Oh, he probably admires Songtsen Gampo and Emperor Taizong, right?"

"Yes. Trisong Zampu loves the people very much, but sometimes he is too merciful, otherwise there would be no such chaos. ”

"What kind of mess?"

"Housework," said the Peacock King after a moment of silence, "let me tell you what is on your mind." ”

"Hehe, it's hard to describe the way to the heart. It's just that after the imperial examination, I learned more about the affairs of the imperial court, and Emperor Xuanzong favored the Yang family, Li Linfu and others, and he was really not a holy monarch. ”

"What about now, and I'm disappointed in An Lushan?"

"Yes, at that time, he raised troops under the banner of killing Yang Guozhong, I thought he would become a generation of Ming Jun. ”

"Hahahaha, such a smart person as sir, will also be deceived by a few words. ”

"Not really. ”

"So, there are few people under Datang who can admire Mr.?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Poor monk, guess what—"

"You say—"

"The person you admire the most should be the young crow master, right? I don't know anything else, but Namora Tanzhao is not even afraid of my master, and when it comes to the young crow master, he only has the share of promises. ”

"Yes. I do admire the young master, elegant and erudite, and his demeanor is superb, such a person should be a character only in the legends of the gods. However, there is another one whose King would not have guessed anyway. ”

"There is another one? This is to ask Mr. to make it clear, the poor monk is indeed not familiar with the characters in Luoyang, Chang'an. ”

"This one is Colliers. ”

"Oh, I've heard of it, he is the most favored person around Emperor Xuanzong, you dislike Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others, why do you admire such a eunuch?"

"Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others are flattering and bullying, greedy for power, but for their own selfish desires, Gao Lishi is different from them. ”

"Why is it different?"

"He always smiles at everyone, no matter how humble your rank is, he will respect you very much, people give him gold and silver playthings, he gives them rewards at will, he is loyal to the emperor, even more than those princes and princesses, I think he is the one who really sees through power and wealth. ”

"Has Sir ever received his favor?"

"Yes. A large part of the entanglement I had when I went to the Western Regions to take up my post was rewarded by Lord Colliers. In fact, not only below, Xuanzong Dynasty, Chang'an Luoyang, but all those who were famous in the two capitals, all of them more or less, directly or indirectly received his favor. ”

"It's really rare, I can't imagine that there is such a person in the world. ”

"yes. Now that Emperor Xuanzong is around, I'm afraid he is the only one waiting. ”

"By the way, since that young crow master is brilliant and has gathered many heroes in the world, why don't you raise an army and start an incident yourself? On the contrary, he also made the nest that his ancestors had operated for more than 100 years so easily exterminated by the imperial court?"

"There is something strange about the matter of Zhongnan Mountain, there should be an extremely powerful character who betrayed the young master. So, the young master had to give up there. As for why he didn't raise troops on his own, he never talked to us about it, this person is too deep in the city, and I have been with him for many years, and I can't figure out what he is thinking in his heart. Indeed, if it were him, it should not be difficult to seek to win the world of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"I see, so you simply came to An Lushan. ”

"It was the young master who recommended me to come. Tang Yu Youyun: Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, people like you and me, Huaibi is a kind of trouble, a huge trouble, always bothering you, I hope this peaceful life can burn like wildfire. ”

"Now that Luoyang is surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty and Hui Hui, does Mr. think that An Lushan's father and son are getting weaker?"

"A siege of a city with an army of more than 100,000 is nothing. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because the ship is about to capsize. ”

"How so?"

"That's the old man. ”

"Oh?"

"The Dharma King should also see that he still misses the old Luoyang even more. ”

The Peacock King smiled, this old man not only missed the previous dynasty, but also risked his life to save the young man.

"By the way, speaking of that old man, why don't you see a few people along the way? Didn't Mr. say that both sides of Luoshui are prosperous and rich?"

"Hehe, the people-An Lushan kind of person, how can there be any people in his heart. ”

After Sanada Jingzuna finished speaking, he looked around and let out a long sigh.

"So—what is the next step for the gentleman?"

It is said that many people have now defected to the Yongwang Li Lan, and I have heard that the Yongwang is indeed a rare gentleman. ”

"Sir wants to go too?"

"What about His Holiness?"

"I can't leave yet. ”

"Then I will accompany the Dharma King again. ”

"Sir gracious. ”

"Well said. ”

The two walked slowly for a long time, and finally came to the imperial city.

In the original military department, a palace was set out as a place for military and political deliberations in Anqingxu.

In the center of the hall, An Qingxu was wrapped in a robe trimmed with silver ratskin and gold thread, leaning back in a huge chair covered with cotton futons.

An Qingxu's appearance is not outstanding, but his figure is much better than his obese and round father, his legs with black-bottomed gold-rimmed leather boots stretch out from the robe, slender and toned, and his arms are longer than ordinary people.

At this time, he supported his thin cheeks with one hand, and in the other, his slender fingers twisted a small jade cup.

Of course, the most memorable thing at first sight is that he is always gloomy, even if he has just achieved a small victory and harvested enough food and grass for the whole army to support more than a month, there is still no obvious joy on his face.

He was a man of few words, but over the years he has become more silent.

Of course, Zhang Jiwu was also there, his arms and legs were injured, and after being simply bandaged by the military doctor, he sat on a stool with difficulty.

A man in his forties with a curly beard choked in a low voice at this time, tears and snot blurred the dried blood and smoke on his face, and he was very embarrassed.

It seemed that he was grief-stricken, but he was intimidated by An Qingxu's gloom, and his cry was very low.

An Qingxu drank his wine silently, and it was conceivable that he had been treating this victorious and seriously injured uncle with silence.

In fact, even in the eyes of Sanada Jinggang and the Peacock King, people like Zhang Jiwu are not enough to worry about. He is like all middle-aged men who do nothing, mediocre and cowardly.

Although last night he had just completed an almost impossible military mission. But in the eyes of the Peacock King and Sanada Jinggang, it was all contributed by their own resourcefulness and strength, and they could get things done like others.

The reason why An Qingxu insisted on asking the two brothers to do this was nothing more than to test them, and even create a possible opportunity to get rid of them. Such a person is really pathetic and pitiful.

But looking at the current situation, An Qingxu didn't seem to find any excuse to make things difficult for him, let alone enough reasons to kill him.

Moreover, his younger brother was not present, so something must have gone wrong. It is very likely that he became a prisoner of the Tang camp, or lost his life in the chaos.
