Chapter 1: The Covenant of Xuzhou

The Tang Dynasty returned to Chang'an, followed by a special letter, reported the situation in the country, everything was normal, and Tang Dynasty's hanging heart was put down.

Li Bai then presided over a grand wedding as the prime minister and master of ceremonies, and the Turkic princess Yelu Jinzhi and the Hui princess Guli Zhenluo married the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

The Tang Dynasty immediately set up Princess Jinzhi as the empress of the New Tang Dynasty, and Li Lian, Li Wenjiang, Guli Zhenluo and Li Xiuyun (Princess Xinling) as the four noble concubines, feasted the ministers, and the whole country celebrated.

?? …

That night, when he wanted to linger with the two princesses in the Tang Dynasty, he sent a letter into the palace to report: "Your Majesty, An Qingxu, the eldest son of An Lushan, asks to see you." ”

On the way back to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty had already reviewed countless court concerts, listened to countless intelligence, and knew that the current situation was already very tight.

During the time when he went to the Northern Alliance alone, An Lushan stepped up the pace of expansion, taking most of the land except Guanzhong as his own, not to mention the excellent cavalry, the finances were also sufficient, and he recruited troops and horses again, and the country was strong; Li Heng is naturally not idle, these days he has also controlled a lot of remote areas, although he did not dare to confront An Lushan's cavalry, but Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi these generals, but also helped him train nearly a million infantry, everywhere to win over the old Tang Dynasty, want to reorganize the rivers and mountains, although Li Longji insisted on not letting the emperor lie in the crown prince Li Heng, but in fact admitted that Li Heng was his only successor, Yongwang Li Lin was naturally unwilling, in Jiannan big accumulation of horses, but after all, the contradictions have not been exposed.

During this time, the new Tang Dynasty mainly faced the threat of An Lushan. Sun Xiaozhe led the cavalry to constantly provoke in Yangping Pass, but the guards such as Zhuan Ren and Blue Parrot guarded the orders of the Tang Dynasty and did not easily switch to battle, plus Tongguan was not broken, and Sun Bu could not attack with all his strength, which made the two sides friction constantly, but the real war did not start.

……

"Let him come in right away."

With an intuition, Tang Dynasty knew that An Qingxu's request to see at such a time must have something very important.

When An Qingxu walked in, his eyes wandered everywhere, and when he saw Princess Zhenluo at a glance, his eyes immediately froze, as if he was sluggish: "Oh my God, Tang Dynasty, where did you find such a beautiful woman?" ”

Princess Zhenluo was furious, and quickly turned into the curtain, she naturally didn't want to see such a rude man.

Tang Dynasty was very unhappy, looked at An Qingxu, only to see that he had big ears, a pair of bull's eyes protruding, flashing with evil light, Princess Zhenluo turned like a back tent for a long time, his eyes stared blankly, remembering what the history teacher had said when he bragged in the past, this kid later killed his own son An Lushan, and he was also a ruthless character who didn't recognize his six relatives.

"What are you that dare to call His Majesty by name?" Li Bai beside him pressed the scabbard with his hand.

An Qingxu came back to his senses from his distraction: "Oh, hehe, do you need to say it, I must be older than him, a person who is a big brother asks his brother, don't call his name what?" ”

"I think you're impatient!" Li Bai finally pulled out the Longquan Sword and was about to chop off his head immediately.

But Tang Chao stopped him: "Prime minister, wait a minute." ”

An Qingxu raised his head and glanced at Tang Chao, his eyes were full of horror, and then he slanted the corners of his mouth, and snapped his fingers in his hand: "I thought the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty was so great, it turned out to be just such a rabbit master, similar to singing!" He laughed.

A kind of surprise rose in Tang Chao's heart. This person's martial arts are only the pinnacle of dark energy at a glance, although they are powerful, but after all, they are not a character in the transformation realm, and they are not enough to be afraid, but his self-confidence is indeed somewhat praiseworthy.

No matter who it is, in front of a master like Li Bai and Tang Dynasty, he will be greatly shocked in terms of momentum, but this person is turning a blind eye, what is the reason?

"Really?" Tang Chao smiled, but suddenly, a sharp arrow seemed to shoot out of his eye.

"Ah......" An Qingxu screamed, holding his eyes with both hands.

Li Bai was shocked to see that blood was constantly flowing from the cracks of this person's fingers, could it be that in this instant, the Tang Dynasty shot a hidden weapon?

But Tang Chao's hands were clearly placed on his knees.

"You...... You're plotting against me? An Qingxu finally took his hand away, revealing blood-drenched eyes, looking at Tang Chao with a blurred vision.

"This is a lesson for you! Your son An Lushan has no way to discipline him, so I will discipline him for him. ”

"You...... You didn't even move your hand, what kind of trick did you use? An Qingxu was most surprised by this.

"Mine is not using a hidden weapon, it is an eye knife, and it is an upright kung fu."

An Qingxu just had one straw bag, but when Li Bai next to him heard it, he was really frightened: it turned out that the internal force of the Tang Dynasty, after all these years of conquest, had broken through to the point of killing the enemy with his mind!

"What kind of kung fu is that, so amazing?"

"Alright! I've already punished you for your rudeness, now you can tell me what you came for? ”

An Qingxu laughed dryly twice: "Yes, yes, I...... No...... This prince came this time to hear that you had a big wedding and married two fairy-like princesses, so he was going to celebrate. ”

"Celebration? When did you ever send you an invitation? ”

"This ...... This is a trivial matter, I just ask you, the one just now is one of your princess wives, you are really so blessed, can you give me ......"

Crackling!

Four slaps were very loud, and Tang Chao's hand seemed to move, but it didn't seem to move at all.

Then, An Qingxu screamed like a pig, his cheeks were extremely swollen, and he was even more fat than those pigs who were full of air after being killed: "What are you doing, why are you beating me?" ”

"Do you believe it that I immediately cut off your head?"

This sentence is very effective, An Qingxu was suddenly very well-behaved, and knelt down with an ordinary voice: "Your Majesty, don't kill me, I'm an imbecile, can't I be wrong?" ”

Tang Dynasty and Li Bai looked at each other and smiled, they couldn't imagine that the prince set up by An Lushan turned out to be such a treasure.

In the heart of the Tang Dynasty, he had already begun to doubt, could it be that the records in the history books for more than a thousand years were wrong, how could this kid have the courage to kill his own Lao Tzu and ascend to the throne of Dayan?

"Get up, sit."

An Qingxu sobbed and wiped away his tears and snot with his sleeve, sat down, and looked at the tent behind Tang Chao with his eyes not honest: "Your Majesty, why are you like my father and emperor, beat me as soon as you meet, am I so hateful?" ”

"Say, are you really here to congratulate me on my wedding?" Tang Dynasty asked again.

"Yes. However, before leaving, my father said that he asked me to bring a letter of state. Father also said that if someone else brought it, Your Majesty would definitely not accept it, but I, as the crown prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, Your Majesty will most likely accept it. ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter of state sealed with fire paint from his close-fitting flesh and presented it to Tang Chao.

The Tang Dynasty tore it open and saw that it was indeed An Lushan's letter, and there was a gold seal of "The Treasure of the Great Yan Emperor" underneath, which was the jade seal of An Lushan. The meaning of the letter is roughly to learn that the Tang Dynasty has successfully formed an alliance in the north, and he is very relieved, but at the end of the sentence, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, and people want to discuss the alliance with the Tang Dynasty for a meeting in Xuzhou.

Of course, the letter was written by An Lushan's subordinate Confucian scholars, but the meaning must be An Lushan's meaning.

The Tang Dynasty read the letter for a long time and handed it over to Li Bai.

The faces of the two of them were very solemn, they all knew one fact, An Lushan couldn't hold it anymore!

"Come on, take Prince Dayan to rest in the state guesthouse, and send three Han beauties to serve him!"

Li Bai quickly gave the order.

When An Qingxu heard this, he immediately smiled: "Thank you, minister, this prince has long wanted to see your beauties in Chang'an, it must be top croak, croak?" With a grunt, he followed his entourage.

Tang Chao waited for An Qingxu's figure to disappear, and then asked: "Xiangguo, in your opinion, is this person really so stupid?" ”

Li Bai replied: "Back to Your Majesty." In my opinion, this man inherited his father's funny appearance, but his heart is bright, and he did this to make you look down on him and not kill his head. ”

"The two countries are fighting, how can I kill the messenger?"

"That maybe. But according to the detailed information, this person is the same as An Lushan, suspicious by nature, and extremely cruel, and has made countless enemies, and the reason why An Lushan sent him as an envoy this time is because he knew that this guy was molesting a noble concubine in his harem, so he punished him. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The Tang Dynasty was shocked.

"It's true. Hu Ren's wild nature is difficult to change, seeing the beauties of the Central Plains, he doesn't care about any ethics and morals at all, and flirts with the beauties of An Lushan's harem, which is not a big deal, but this matter was seized by the opposition in An Qingxu's court and publicized it, and An Lushan also had to punish him, and it was a fortunate thing that he did not abolish his position as prince.

"It seems. He doesn't pay attention to anyone, it's not that he has high martial arts, I'm afraid it's a natural wolf nature, and my opinion is similar to yours, this person's talent in disguise is extremely high, and it seems that he is really afraid that I will kill him. But I'm sure I won't kill him, what is the opinion of the minister? ”

"The emperor is wise. The New Tang Dynasty is a big country in the Central Plains, and etiquette must not be abolished. ”

"Then according to the ministers, An Lushan personally sent his crown prince to send a book to form an alliance this time, what is his real purpose?"

"I'm afraid he wants to stabilize us and kill Li Heng first."

"Yes, not entirely. If you think about it, he hasn't laid down Tongguan yet, and what he is most afraid of is that I and Tongguan guard Ge Shuhan will unite and keep Tongguan. Of course, he doesn't know that Ge Shuhan has obeyed my orders now, if I have Tongguan in the New Tang Dynasty, I will threaten Luoyang at any time, and he will not be able to sleep well. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have always found it strange that since Ge Shuhan has surrendered to us, why don't you send troops to defend Tongguan and expand the Warring States of my New Tang Dynasty, but ask him to go to fake surrender, in case ......"
