Even if it is such a small summoning and deliberation, there is an order of rank among the knots. Xuanzong gathered the nine festivals of the whole country together, which was the first time. Speaking of which, everyone's official ranks are about the same, and it is inevitable that they will be unconvinced by the order of loose officials. Li Linfu and Gao Lishi combined, since it is a narrative meritorious, let's sort it according to the merits of last year's various sections.

The result is naturally that Wang Zhongsi is not allowed to be in the second place on the right, under Li Linfu, followed by Pei Kuan, who is the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, and under Niu Xianke on the left, followed by Wang Qi, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, Zhang Qiu and Qiong, the envoy of Huangfu Weiming of Longyoujiedu, and the envoy of Beiting and Lingnan Jiedu, even An Lushan, who has not yet become a Jiedu envoy, is also ranked in front of Tian Renwan, which makes him feel angry for a while.

It seems that the saint has a deep obsession with the return of the little Bolu Kingdom to Tibet, and his expedition was unsuccessful, isn't it nothing in the eyes of His Majesty?

An Lushan turned his head and saw that his face was not good, so he hurriedly arched his hand and smiled: "Tanaka Cheng, Lushan's merits are shallow, and he doesn't dare to be in front, or else, please take a step forward?" ”

Tian Renwan rolled his eyes, at this time, you let a fart, doesn't it make me ugly?

An Lushan saw that he was unhappy, and solemnly arched his hand: "Tanaka Cheng, Lushan really wants to let him, and he has no intention of making fun of you." ”

"I know, General An doesn't have to bother, the standing position is arranged according to merit, how can you be honest, don't talk anymore."

An Lushan laughed wryly, turned around and stood with his head up.

At this time, Gao Lishi walked out of the side door porch again, waved the dust and said, "Everyone, Your Majesty is already upstairs, please go up with us." ”

Li Linfu glanced back, and walked into the side door behind Gao Lishi first, and Niu Xianke and others entered. The group climbed up the wooden staircase, which was carpeted so that they could walk around without making too much noise.

After going upstairs, bypassing the corridor, the vermilion corridor columns were arranged one after another, and the goose-yellow palace tent separated the layering, and the four palace ladies pushed open the lattice door. Colliers led the crowd to the pavilion.

The diligent government pavilion on the second floor of the diligent government building is six zhang wide, twenty-three zhang long, Xuanzong often feasts hundreds of officials or discusses political affairs here, there are more than 70 doors and windows on the right side of the pavilion, open the window to see the scenery of the dragon pond in the distance, and walk out from the door is the corridor railing, the front can look at the square in front of the diligent government palace, can watch more than 1,000 people singing and dancing, can also point to parade horses. Around to the other side is the road in front of the street of the road, thousands of houses, the stacked heavy eaves are in full view, every Qianqiu Festival or Shangyuan Festival, the people form floats and music and dance teams to come downstairs, and the Son of Heaven to have fun.

The envoys of the festival came to the Qinzheng Pavilion, and the left and right sides were separated. Li Longji sat on the pedestal, and behind him stood two palace maids with palm fans, holding palace fans in both hands. Since it was not a formal occasion, the emperor's sitting posture was not standardized, with one arm resting on the embroidered armrest, and his head to the right hand supporting his forehead. His bags under his eyes were slightly puffy, and his green beard was mixed with gray, and it seemed that he had done nothing to hurt his body.

Li Linfu led everyone to cross their hands: "We will see Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, sit down."

Everyone turned around and knelt on the ground, holding their knees with their hands, waiting for Li Linfu, the right minister, to speak.

Li Linfu crossed his hands sideways and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have approved the narrative performances submitted by the envoy of the nine sections the day before yesterday, and submitted them to Your Majesty's Imperial Review, which can be ......"

Who knew that the emperor didn't take advantage of him, but asked: "Four days later, there will be a big court meeting, but there are foreign envoys who have not arrived?" ”

Li Linfu replied: "Most of them have already arrived, and they are all staying in the Honglu Temple, and the Tibetan envoys came from Luoqi City, and they just arrived yesterday. The emissaries of the Great Food came from Damascus, and they were probably still on their way. ”

"Where's the big and small Boru? Shihanna, Humi, Fanyan, and Hadarazhi, why didn't the lords of these small countries come? ”

Li Linfu closed his mouth and thought to himself, Your Majesty, didn't you ask knowingly? The small Bolu country has not yet been defeated, let alone the big Bolu, these small countries are held hostage by Tibet and cannot send envoys to come.

Tian Renwan knew that this was asking him for the guilt of Xingshi, so he took the initiative to move to the center and bow down: "Your Majesty, this is the sinful of the minister, last year, the whole army went out to fight, but failed to break through the Bolechuan Lianyun Fort. Little Bolu is still under the orders of Tibet. ”

Xuanzong exhaled a long breath, waved his hand and said: "It's not beautiful, it's not beautiful after all, I change the Yuan Tianbao, the universe is clear, the world is prosperous, but the foreign country is a big disaster after all, if I can't control it remotely, how can I be at peace with my heart?" ”

Li Linfu crossed his hands and said euphemistically: "Xiao Bolu is located in the hinterland of the Green Mountains, the mountains are far away, the ice and snow are bitterly cold, Tian Renwan is not prepared enough after his arrival, and the action is hasty, resulting in the failure of the expedition in the middle. ”

A smile oozed from the corner of Li Longji's mouth: "I almost forgot, brother slave, you lead the capital of Anxi from afar, and you have the responsibility of controlling the overall situation, and if the expedition to Xiaobolu fails, you also have to bear a lot of responsibility." ”

Li Linfu hurriedly bowed: "The minister's supervision and control are not good, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Li Longji waved his hand with a tired face: "You two get up, how can I not know that Xiao Bolu has a difficult and dangerous road, glaciers are criss-crossed, and Tubo has a favorable geographical position to strictly resist stubbornly." Tian Renwan has only been the envoy of Anxi Festival for more than a year, and he has made a hasty attack, which is not achieved if he wants to hurry, and I understand it. ”

"Your Majesty is magnanimous, and I am ashamed."

Just talked about unhappy things, naturally to mention happy things, the emperor beckoned to An Lushan, who was standing in the second row: "An Lushan, you come forward." ”

An Lushan rubbed his hands with a smile, bypassed Tian Renwan, who was kneeling on the ground, and stepped forward to bow with his hands crossed: "The last general, An Lushan, will see Your Majesty." ”

However, the emperor once again took a different path, and instead of asking him about his merits, he asked: "Just now below, you gave them a greeting gift?" ”

Everyone's faces changed, thinking that they were going to make some kind of moth, it seems that this surnamed An is really a troublemaker.

"That's right, I did." An Lushan admitted with a big grin.

"Why send it?" Xuanzong's face sank.

An Lushan smiled wryly: "I heard that the Central Plains etiquette, after the official arrives, he should give a greeting to his colleagues, tell everyone what he wants, and in the future, he will be easy to talk and do." ”

They were stunned as soon as this remark came out, and it was a private practice to give a meeting gift to colleagues after being promoted, and they had never seen anyone who put the unspoken rules on the bright side and put them on the bright side, this An Lushan is really a wonder.

Tang Xuanzong leaned on the back of the couch and said with a smile: "There is indeed such an example in the Central Plains, but it can't be shown to people, and ginseng is not a valuable gift, and it took a lot of manpower for you to send a sergeant to Baishan to dig ginseng." Saying...... If you want to give a greeting gift, why don't you have me? ”

Tang Xuanzong smiled and stretched out his hand towards An Lushan: "Take it." ”

An Lushan hurriedly touched his body, Tian Renwan thought that he could find a box again, but after touching for a long time, the fat man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty, I forgot to bring it." ”

"Haha, cough, haha." Li Longji laughed so much that he coughed, and reached out to support the armrest of the bed. "Lushan is an honest man, you can't deceive him." He beckoned to Gao Lishi and said: "Back to business, Lux, take the narrative performance presented by Wang Husi, the former envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, and the evaluation performance of Zhang Lizhen from Hebei interview. ”

Gao Lishi stepped forward with a tray, and Li Longji took down the narrative gong song from it, and opened it casually: "In June, Lushan led his troops and horses to the west, trekked nearly 100 miles, broke the Xi tribe, beheaded 3,000, and captured 600. In August, Lushan took 10,000 men from his headquarters to attack the Khitan tribe in the west, beheading 5,000 and capturing 400. ”

Li Longji's gaze looked downward, and he said with emotion: "Some people take a good look, how far can the Pinglu soldiers and horses go, and how far can you go." There is also an interview with Hebei to make Zhang Lizhen's examination sparse, An Lushan has two of the most four good, and he can be evaluated. For the meritorious servants who are loyal to their duties, I will never hesitate to reward. ”

Everyone was slightly moved when they heard this, there are really not many people who can get the evaluation, and in the entire court, only Li Linfu, who has the sole power, can get it, what ability does this person have, can he get it?

Tian Renwan sighed secretly, can a person who can be an honest person?

"An Lushan listens to the order!"

An Lushan knelt down on one knee and crossed his hands: "Huh." ”

"I ordered you to be the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, to pacify the Muwei and Jian, to unify the two armies of Pinglu and Lulong, to guard and capture the Yuguan Pass, to protect the capital of Andong, and to protect the two prefectures of Tunping Prefecture and Yingzhou."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Lushan will live up to expectations and guard the east gate of the Tang Dynasty for Your Majesty."
