After the morning pilgrimage, Yang Guozhong rarely came to the political hall, and after entering the door, he saw Wei Jiansu sitting on the Hu bed reading poetry and books, with a plate of dried fruits and a cup of hot tea in his hand. Yang Guozhong laughed and said: "Seeing Su Ke is really Yaxing, he actually read Tao Yuanming in this political hall, do you also want to hang the seal like him and not bend your waist for five buckets of rice?" ”

Wei Jiansu hurriedly put down the book and stood up, arched his hand towards Yang Guozhong, and said, "I don't know what happened when the right minister came to the political hall today. ”

Yang Guozhong looked at the furnishings in the hall leisurely, and said with emotion: "This political hall is also my office place, but I haven't been here for many days, and it's a little strange. ”

Wei Jiansu glanced at him, thinking that you also know that the good ones don't learn from Li Linfu, and they specialize in the bad ones. Moved the office of Zhongshu Province from the political hall back home, and put him as a left-hand minister, he Wei Jiansu is now in addition to reviewing a few auspicious notes, all that is left is to drink tea and read Tao Yuanming.

At this time, the voices of two people talking sounded outside the door: "Recently, there has been a rumor in Chang'an, saying that An Lushan recruited soldiers in Fanyangguang, Pinglu, built weapons, and intended to rebel." ”

"This thing is really fake, most of the rumors in Chang'an City are not credible."

"No, no, I'm afraid it's true, it has a nose and eyes, can it be fake?"

Wei Jiansu coughed heavily, and the two people outside the door hurriedly shut up, and Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice: "Who is spreading rumors outside the door, get me in!" ”

The two officials hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, knelt on one knee and crossed their hands and said: "I am reckless, I don't know that the right minister is here, please forgive the right minister." ”

Yang Guozhong reprimanded: "As court officials, you two don't want to work diligently, but you chew your tongue outside like a woman, do you feel that your life is too comfortable, and you want to go to the prison of the Criminal Department for a few days?" ”

The two hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I'll know my mistakes and forgive each other." ”

"Who is spreading this rumor?"

"My subordinates don't know, I also heard it from Chang'an City, and it sounds very credible."

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and thought, this rumor is indeed somewhat credible, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, why didn't Chang'an City spread that An Sishun, Ge Shuhan, and Li Siye rebelled, but it was going to pass on you An Lushan, which shows that An definitely has the intention of rebelling. Leaving aside the matter of him to the saint to protect Jiwen has not yet been settled, it happens that the new account and the old account are settled together, and the saint should be informed of this matter as soon as possible.

He waved his hand at the two of them, "Go down." ”

"Whoa."

After the two retreated, he turned back and asked Wei Jiansu, "Where has Ji Wen been now?" ”

"It should be the long history of Liyang."

Yang Guozhong snorted and said: "Lao Tzu belittled him but saved him, if he stayed in the court and colluded with the thief, it must be a capital crime." When I get rid of An Lushan, it's not too late to clean him up. ”

Wei Jiansu heard that something was wrong from his words, and hurriedly crossed his hands and asked, "Yang Xiangke wants to report this rumor to the sage and expose An Lushan's rebellion?" ”

Yang Guozhong turned around and questioned, "What? The rumors of his rebellion have spread to Chang'an City, and Lao Tzu still has to pretend that he can't hear or see it? Saints will eventually be mistaken by you people. ”

With that, he walked out of the political hall with his hands in his hands.

……

An Lushan was already preparing to leave for Fanyang, and several carts and a team of armored soldiers were parked in front of the mansion of the king of Qinrenfang County, loaded with the goods given to him by the sage, and he himself sat in the ink cart with his sleeves poked and waited to leave.

Liu Luogu ran in the alley on a fast horse, and quickly pulled up the horse's head and shouted in front of the convoy, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and ran towards An Lushan's car. Yan Zhuang and noble on the first horse of the team looked at each other, An Lushan lifted the curtain from the carriage and scolded: "What are you running? Why is it so unstable! ”

Liu Luogu ran to the front of the car and knelt down on one knee and forked his hands: "Oh no, lord, there are rumors in Chang'an City that the lord is plotting against him." ”

"Huh?!" An Lushan frowned instantly, stretched out again, and said with an annoying smile: "Okay, not only did I want to go together, but I even ran in front of me." Did you do what you were asked to do? ”

"The lowly post has already bought off some more people, and it is rumored everywhere in Chang'an City that Li Siye has accumulated a lot of money in his hands with the intention of rebelling."

An Lushan breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a rumor, since the tenth year of Tianbao, some people have constantly proclaimed that they want to rebel, and the sage has never accepted it, even Wang Zhongsi has said that he is going to rebel, and in the end it is not over.

Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the car and said: "Lord, it's okay like this, we spread rumors, Li Siye also spreads rumors, simply muddy the water, the saint will definitely not believe it, let's get up and go out of the city as soon as possible, don't wait until the night is long and dreams give birth to other incidents." ”

"Okay, get out of town as soon as possible." An Lushan threw down the curtain, and the convoy began to slowly move towards the outside of the fangmen.

Just when An Lushan led the convoy out of the city, Li Siye had already led Yan Xiaosi to cross Weishui lightly, and Yang Guozhong also began to ride out of the imperial city, along the side street to the Xingqing Palace in the south to prepare to see the saint.

After a morning, the rumors in Chang'an City became more and more varied, and Yang Guozhong decided to order someone to copy these rumors in a small book and take them to scare the emperor.

When he passed by Shengye Fang, some officials with rumors came forward to report: "Qi Yu Right Minister, now there are rumors that Li Siye, the king of Xiliang County, is supporting the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce in an attempt to rebel. ”

Yang Guozhong patted Jin Xianguan on the top of his head vigorously, feeling that his brain was not enough: "Why are there rumors of Li Siye's rebellion?" What's going on with the two of them? Why are they all rushing to spread rumors? Are you all rushing to rebel? ”

Jing Zhao Yin Xian Yu Zhongtong, who was following behind him, shook his head and said: "How is this possible, it is neither reasonable nor reasonable, it must be caused by these two people spreading rumors and attacking each other in private." ”

Yang Guozhong said angrily: "The word rebellion has been mentioned, and after a long time, it has become true if it is not true. ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong crossed his hands and asked: "Right Minister, what should I do now, do you still want to enter the palace to report to Your Majesty?" ”

"Of course, you immediately send the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion to inquire if An Lushan and Li Siye are still in Chang'an, if they are still there, I will naturally report to the saint and control the two of them, and two big hidden dangers can be eliminated in one fell swoop!"

"Well, my subordinates will do it."

Yang Guozhong swaggered into the Xingqing Palace, and learned from the eunuch guarding the gate that the emperor and the concubine Niangniang were in the Jiaotai Palace, so he rushed over in a hurry. The eunuch Yuan Siyi was guarding outside the palace gate, and when he saw Yang Guozhong coming, he asked with a smile: "Yang Xiang, I haven't seen you for some days." “

Yang Guozhong arched his hand perfunctorily and said: "Yang Guozhong asked to see the saint, and asked his father-in-law to pass it on his behalf." ”

"Yang Xiang, wait a minute, the slave will go and ask you."

After a while, Yuan Siyi walked out, bowed down with the dust in his hand and said, "The sage called you in." ”

The emperor and the concubine were choreographing a dance in the hall, Li Longji was almost old, his body was still flexible, he was wearing a woman's shirt and water sleeves, and he circled around Yang Yu, who was standing on one foot in the center, and then raised the water sleeves of his shirt up, causing Concubine Yang to cover her mouth and smile: "San Lang, your posture is more like a beauty than a concubine." ”

Li Longji wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled dotingly: "I am willing to exchange with you, you are the king and I am the beauty, so it will be more refreshing." ”
