The calyx tower of Xingqing Palace faces this side of Chang'an City, and the two-zhang wide corridor hangs out in the air, and the eunuchs stand on both sides of the huge red columns. Li Longji's sideburns were pale, and he stood against the railing in a red cloak, and next to him stood An Lushan, who was fat and full of wrinkles.

An Lushan's expression was a little anxious and unbearable, but it was well hidden in his smile. A month ago, he was in Fanyang, and after getting Yang Guozhong's letter, he thought that his plan to divide and provoke had succeeded. Without waiting for Gao Shang, the secretary of the Pinglu marching army, to send a message from Chang'an, he immediately ordered Yan Zhuang to write a note on the impeachment of Li Siye, and ordered someone to gallop to Chang'an in the starry night.

Soon after his recital was issued, the news soon came back from Chang'an, but it was the emperor who ordered him to enter Chang'an to see the driver. The shrewd An Lushan suddenly realized that his slack did not have an effect, but had the opposite effect.

But no matter how smart he is, he can't judge what happened in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, let alone what happened in Hexi. Even if Gao Shang sent a letter back from Chang'an, informing him that Yang Guozhong's investigation of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't even set off the slightest wave, he couldn't analyze what was wrong.

After all, Liu Luogu's identity is limited, and he can't get in touch with many secret news, and only when An Fatzi personally goes south to Chang'an, enters the palace and sits beside the emperor, can he make an exact judgment.

After he hurried to Chang'an in the starry night, he entered the Xingqing Palace to meet the emperor. After Li Longji saw him, he didn't let him guess hide and seek, and directly took him to the Dan room in the Nannei Jiaotai Palace.

All the wood in the Dan room was unpainted, and the purple wood grain showed a polished and evenly polished oily luster, and the fragrance of the wood made his nose bathe in the fragrance. The entire Dantang, including the screens, desks, caissons, doors and windows, and walls, are all made of rosewood.

He knew that this kind of wood came from only two directions, the country of Poyi in the south of Lingnan, and it was usually transported to Guangzhou by sea. There is also India, where the Buddha was produced, which was transported to the Central Plains along the trade routes of the Western Regions.

An Lushan, who had a keen brain, immediately understood what the problem was, an inch of red sandalwood and an inch of gold, Li Siye used gold to build a red sandalwood dan room for the emperor to win the emperor's favor, and the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce also made great contributions. Yang Guozhong sent someone to check the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, which was equivalent to finding the head of the saint.

What An Fatzi didn't expect was that Yang Guozhong didn't go to the top and only transported some account books into the palace for the saint to see. How did he learn so well in this round, he was able to repair books to deceive him, and successfully transformed the contradiction into him. In this round, did the dry bones in the Yang family's grave get some guidance from a master?

There was also some tacit understanding between the emperor and him, Li Longji barely said anything to reveal the answer, just patted him on the shoulder and said: "You and Li Siye are both my henchmen and generals, you are in the east, he is in the west, for me to be my two arms, to open up territory for me to expand the territory, to protect Chang'an Tang Dynasty." That's why I don't want a feud between you the most, and the left hand and the right hand are fighting, how can you defend the territory? ”

An Lushan knew that this was the emperor's superficial words, and if he really believed it, he would have beeped the dog.

The greatest ability of the saint is to adjust and balance the power among his courtiers in order to achieve his goal of controlling the court. If the relationship between He An Lushan and Li Siye is close, can the saint's heart still be at peace?

Li Longji was also worried that the overly presumptuous internal strife between the two would cause a rivalry within the imperial court, so he had to adjust it appropriately. The priorities of the way of the emperor must be clearly distinguished, and there is always a moderate factor.

So Li Longji sent another edict to Li Siye, who was far away in Hexi, ordering him to come to Chang'an to accept the mediation of Li Longji, a gold medal mediator. Originally, this job should have been done by Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, but he didn't expect Yang Guozhong to go down to the ring in person and lose the duty of a referee. So he could only let him, a sixty-year-old man, play in person.

After An Lushan saw this red sandalwood pill room, the jealousy of Li Siye in his heart rose by one percent, this person expected in advance that the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce might become the target of political enemies, so he made arrangements in advance, and used pepper and spices to bribe the court, willing to spend money, and can afford to spend a lot of money, to say that this kind of person has no ambition, he doesn't believe it, so this Li Siye is his great enemy.

He remembered that the first time he met this opponent was in the hard-working juggler of the Tonghuafang Dutingyi, or was it the bad guy who met in the West Market? It's a pity that there was no face-to-face warlock around at that time, if he knew that Li Siye would have today's climate, he would have worked with Shi Siming at that time to kill this guy, wouldn't there be nothing now?

Li Longji looked down on the railing, looking at the Shengye Fang opposite, the roofs were scattered, there were green trees in the middle, and the mud chimneys on the roof floated out of the misty smoke. The biggest advantage of Xingqing Palace is that you can see the lives of ordinary people from afar, although you can't join them, at least you can feel these warmths.

Inadvertently, two horses in the distance entered his line of sight, and the one riding on the white horse was Li Siye, the king of Xiliang County, who raised his hand and pointed downstairs and smiled: "Look, this is not Li Siye, Yang Zhao and him should have reconciled, today I will set up a banquet in the Calyx Building to entertain the two of you, hoping to solve the gap between you, and the two virtuous people will work together to guard the Tang Dynasty." ”

An Lushan nodded very obediently and said: "The minister's mind has been closely following the sage, and naturally he has to share the sage's worries. ”

"Very good," Li Longji looked sideways at An Lushan: "If you know your mistakes, you will correct them, I am very pleased." ”

He turned to the eunuch Yuan Siyi and ordered: "You immediately order someone to open the gate of the Calyx Mansion Palace, let Li Siye come up, and we will also be seated." ”

Li Siye rode to the palace gate, and the eunuch Yuan Siyi stood outside the door with a whisk in his hand, leading the two palace eunuchs to step forward and said: "The slave has seen the king of Xiliang County, and the sage has set up a banquet in the calyx building, please come with me." ”

He turned over and dismounted, nodded and said, "There is Lao Yuan's father-in-law, please." ”

The horses were led by Yan Xiaosi into the stable in the palace gate and waited, Li Siye and Yuan Siyi walked towards the side hall of the Calyx Tower, and the two slowly walked up the stairs.

The emperor was already sitting on the top of the steps, with some cool side dishes on the table in front of him, and high tables and Hu bed seats were set up on the left and right sides.

"Xuanzan Xiliang County King Li Siye entered the palace to see the driver."

After Li Siye entered the palace, he quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee and crossed his hands and said, "Minister Li Siye see Your Majesty." ”

"Hurry up," Li Longji raised his hand and said with a smile: "The Dan Hall you sent someone to Jiaotai Hall to build has been completed, and I am very satisfied." ”

"Thank you for the saint's appreciation, and the heir is overjoyed."

"Okay, let's get in."

Li Siye stood up after thanking him, turned his head and saw An Lushan sitting on the left side, nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked to the seat on the right, and sat on the Hu bed.

Li Longji said approvingly: "I ordered the people to summon you from Hexi, first, to commend you for offering sandalwood to build the Dantang and the sandalwood soup pool in the concubine soup of Huaqing Palace. This is because An Lushan didn't know about this matter and participated indiscriminately, in order to prevent you two ministers from having a dislike for each other, I specially set up a banquet in this calyx building, and I asked An Lushan to compensate you. ”

An Lushan reacted sensitively, immediately got up from the Hu bed, picked up the wine cup on the desk and smiled at Li Siye: "Lushan is usually straightforward and easy to say the wrong thing, and he is also careless and not rigorous enough to do things. ”
