Yang Qixuan quickly saw what kind of attitude the people under An Lushan's command had towards the imperial court envoys.

This is not a scene that ordinary officials can see, at least it is something he would never have expected when he was in Chang'an.

"Kill it."

This sentence sounded in the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion from time to time, and when they encountered some difficult problems, everyone was eager to solve them in the most direct way.

Yang Qixuan would shrink his neck every time he heard it, thinking to himself, could this be something he could listen to? He hasn't done anything, and before he even handed over the so-called nomination letter in the reckless rivers and lakes, An Lushan gave him great trust.

"Silence, the envoy is here!"

With this sentence, everyone turned their heads to look and saw a eunuch walking in among the left and right clusters.

As soon as he saw this eunuch, An Lushan laughed, although he didn't get up to greet him, but he leaned forward and leaned back in his position, obviously welcoming the other party.

Yang Qixuan's eyes were always a little sneaky unconsciously, he could have looked openly, but he still peeked at it, and at a glance, he recognized that it was Fu Zhuolin.

Of course, a person like him who often attends imperial banquets knows Fu Baolin, who has an errand to select melons and fruits for the saints, and once had his help, and he was greedy for the use of the palace.

"Congratulations to An Dafu, I'm about to call An Xianggong. But the saints have relied on you, and they want to worship you as prime minister. ”

Obviously, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant. Even Yang Qixuan could feel a murderous aura rise, worried that which general would suddenly pounce on him and stab Fu Zhuo Lin over.

However, when Fu Zhuolin handed over the edict, An Lushan read it, but he smiled and exclaimed: "This is a good thing, my illiterate and reckless beard can also be the prime minister." ”

"The border is restless, the Khitan is not destroyed, how can the prince of the palace leave Fanyang?!"

It was the Sogdian He Qianqian who shouted, and when he opened his mouth, many people in the hall shouted along.

"Yes, never let the prince leave Fanyang!"

"Hahaha." An Lushan laughed, looking very honest, "I have my own measure, don't panic, don't panic." ”

In this way, the murderous aura in the hall dissipated a little. Then everyone said a few words, set up a big feast, and washed the dust for Fu Baolin.

When he arrived at the banquet hall, Yang Qixuan didn't see the table where the meal was divided, but saw Hu Er and the Han generals sitting together, and hesitantly asked Ji Wen, "Do I eat here too?" ”

"Get in." Ji Wen enthusiastically and happily pushed Yang Qixuan into the hall.

There are a lot of fish and dragons here, no one will dislike his bad breath, and there are countless people who have a foul smell on his body.

Soon, two beautiful orchids came over and said with a smile: "We will serve wine to Yang Lang." ”

"There are no cups."

Yang Qixuan was still talking, and he had been pushed to the pillar next to him by them, and then a orchid kissed him on the mouth and put the wine into his mouth.

The two sounds of "grunt", the warm wine entered the throat, and entered Yang Qixuan's abdomen, as if he was accepted as An Lushan's henchman.

He was fascinated by the beauty in front of him, and immediately felt that Fan Yang was really good. If he hadn't been severely threatened before he left Chang'an, it would have been even better now.

Then, he saw Jiwen not far away, and couldn't help but think of a question, did these two beautiful orchids feed Jiwen like this? As soon as this thought came up, he suddenly felt a little disgusted, and the charming atmosphere of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared.

"Come on." Ji Wen beckoned and said, "I'll take you to see the king." ”

An Lushan is a high-ranking "king" in Fanyang, and after Yang Qixuan came, he had only seen him from afar in the lobby two or three times, but they had not spoken to each other, and they were inexplicably nervous at this time.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, followed Ji Wen's footsteps closely, and heard Ji Wen say, "Dafu, you should know Yang Qixuan, the son-in-law of the brother slave." The children of the Hongnong Yang family, the family of the 'Three Kings and Two Ke' I told you, after Emperor Yang Yu of Sui Gong. ”

Emperor Yang Yu of Sui Gong actually had no son, and died not long after the Zen throne was given to Li Yuan, and it was Li Tang who chose a child from the Yang clan to inherit his name and inherit the title of Duke of Xuguo. Yang Qixuan has no blood relationship with him, and his seniority is far away, but it can be regarded as a relationship that can be fought without eight poles.

An Lushan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he raised his fat hand and beckoned, let him step forward, and asked, "Haha, we've met a few times before." Are you used to staying in Fanyang? ”

Yang Qixuan knew that An Lushan and Ji Wen cared about his family background, which made him mind a little, because he originally thought that Ji Wen was good to him and appreciated his character and talent.

He had a good demeanor and responded: "Xie Fujun is caring for you, Fan Yang has a clear and clear atmosphere, and the people are simple, which is more suitable for me than Chang'an." ”

An Lushan was very satisfied with this answer, and asked again: "Then when you come to Fanyang, what will happen to your family?" ”

"My family has been hairpins for generations, and there are many brothers in the family to help me, so my parents don't have to think of me."

"Your sons and daughters didn't come with you?"

"I divorced the daughter of my brother slave, but because of the last case, the children were all robbed by Li Shiyi! I beg you to help me get it back. ”

"Don't worry, it's on me." An Lushan promised loudly, and the fat on his face trembled.

While speaking, Fu Zhaolin also arrived, still holding a scroll in his hand, and when he saw Yang Qixuan, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and said: "Yang Lang's character, An Fujun can boldly believe it." ”

Yang Qixuan heard this, and felt a little strange, as if Fu Baolin had completely surrendered to An Lushan, and couldn't help but pay more attention.

Soon, the banquet began, and Fu Linglin sat down, and couldn't wait to open the small scroll in his hand again.

Yang Qixuan peeked over and noticed that the names of various treasures were written on the scroll, which turned out to be a gift list.

Fu Zhuolin has always been greedy for money, and she must have been bought......

~~

"Don't worry, the saint doesn't plan to stay in Chang'an."

After a long time, Fu Zhuolin finally finished reading the gift list, re-rolled it up with satisfaction, and threw out important news as soon as she opened her mouth.

An Lushan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can you be the prime minister if you don't stay in Chang'an?" ”

"It's not that Feng Shenwei went back to sue Diao, and the saint tested you." Fu Zhaolin said: "But now in the situation in Hebei, how can the saint rest assured that he will transfer you?" As long as you show your loyalty, it is nothing more than adding the title of left servant and continuing to stay in office. ”

"Is that so?" An Lushan was frightened, held his chest, and said, "But if I resign as prime minister, what can I do?" ”

"That would make it difficult for the saints." Fu Zhuolin made a knife with his hand and made a decapitation motion.

An Lushan immediately showed a grateful face and said, "If it weren't for the envoy who said it, I wouldn't know it, this is a life-saving grace." According to what the Chinese envoy sees, I still have to go to Chang'an? ”

Jiwen's eyes rolled, he thought for a while, and suddenly said, "No." ”

"Why not?"

"If the prince of the house goes, someone must want to harm the king."

"Who?"

Ji Wen has already thought about it, since he has returned to Fanyang, he can no longer be an agent for Yang Guozhong, and he can't step on two boats, which is equivalent to having a handle in the hands of others, and Yang Guozhong is not a strict person. Also, now Xue Bai wants to use Li Cong's relationship to form an alliance with An Lushan. Once An Lushan arrives in Chang'an, Xue Bai will at least try his best to leave him behind, not only to prevent Fan Yang's mutiny, but also to achieve the goal of fighting for power, which is not the result he wants to see.

He then said: "Yang Guozhong, Xue Bai and others have been trying every means to frame the prince. ”

An Lushan was thinking that a trip to Chang'an would not only be able to paralyze the saint, but also get the official title of a left servant, and soon he would be able to return to Fanyang, the best of all three, why not, hearing Ji Wen say this, he couldn't help but get entangled.

"Da Lang wrote to me that my uncle's attitude towards me has changed."

"How can you trust him?"

Ji Wen thought of Xue Bai's revenge for killing his son, and immediately became excited. Based on his ability to weave charges all along, he blurted out a paragraph and said: "In my opinion, Xue Bai must have conspired with Yang Guozhong to lure the prince to Chang'an to frame him. ”

At this point, Ji Wen has completely returned to An Lushan's side, leaving Yang Guozhong's entrapment of him.

And the people around also clamored, hoping that An Lushan would not go to Chang'an.

"Yes, what do you want the title of Shangshu Left Servant? Is the prince of the house a little bit of money? It's better to raise troops directly......"

"Shut up!"

An Lushan suddenly became furious, and threw the wine glass in his hand on the head of the shouting general, smashing him bloody.

He was still angry, and under his anger, he was able to stand up his fat body alone, snatch the horsewhip in the servant's hand, beat the other party hard, and in front of Fu Zhuolin, he was able to directly say the word "raise troops", which was really lawless.

Sometimes An Lushan felt like a pot lid, with boiling hot water underneath, constantly trying to hold him high, and he couldn't cover it anymore.

Fu Baolin, Yang Qixuan and others were all angry when they saw An Lushan for the first time, and a cute white fat man turned into a demon who snatched people and devoured people in the blink of an eye, and the shock brought by this change was greater than knowing that An Lushan was going to raise troops.

However, everyone around him was accustomed to it, and when An Lushan ended his angry act, Li Zhu'er skillfully helped him sit down and arranged for someone to take the injured general to apply medicine.

"Let the envoy smile." An Lushan finally controlled his temper, showed his smile again, and said to Fu Zhuolin: "I am loyal to the saint, and I will never allow anyone to persuade me to betray the saint." ”

"Yes, yes." Fu Zhaolin had palpitations, and said with a smile: "An Fujun's loyalty, the slave maid saw it." ”

There was such an episode, and the banquet soon dispersed.

That night, the noble and solemn asked to see An Lushan again.

"Regarding whether to go to Chang'an, Fu Jun is in a dilemma right now? I have a solution. ”

"Mr. Yan is talented, come quickly."

"It's simple, go and don't go."

An Lushan was puzzled and asked, "How do you call 'going and not going'?" ”

Yan Zhuang was not in a hurry, and slowly took out a map from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said: "Of course, the prince of the house wants to return to the sage, and is willing to return to Chang'an to serve as the prime minister, and recommend the candidate to replace the envoy of the two towns, this is 'go'; When passing through Taiyuan, it stops, and there is no need to go to Chang'an, which is 'not going'. ”

An Lushan was puzzled: "But in this way, how can the saint add me as the left servant?" ”

"Why do you need to shoot left?" Yan Zhuang smiled slightly, "Wouldn't it be better to want Hedong?" ”

Gao Shang immediately helped, pointed his finger at the position of Taiyuan, and said: "When the prince arrives in Taiyuan, he can kill Han Xiulin, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, and say that Han Xiulin's rebellion injured the king, so that the prince does not have to take risks in Chang'an, and this is one of them." Second, it is natural to seize Hedong. ”

"How so?" An Lushan asked: "Once it is taken, the sage knows that he has rebelled, and he will kill me instead." ”

"The prince said the opposite." Yan Zhuang said: "It is precisely because of the capture of Hedong that the sage will really throw a mouse taboo and dare not easily persecute the king." ”

"Also, the Khitans will go south then." Gao Shang said, "The general next to him is not familiar with the Khitan, and only the prince can deal with it." ”

Yan Zhuang nodded again and again, thinking that his method was too good, and said: "At that time, I can only pinch my nose and recognize the fact that Hedong is controlled by the monarch." ”

Since the two masterminds said so, An Lushan thought about it carefully, this was really the safest and most stable way, so he agreed.

So, a few days later, Fu Baolin set off to return to Beijing, preparing to report to the sage that An Lushan was willing to return to the court to serve as prime minister, and set off after explaining everything properly.

~~

October, the city of the Great Momen.

A Tang Army flag was erected high, and it sounded violently in the wind.

The king dropped the knife in his hand, wiped his face with his bloody hand, and wiped off a piece of flesh, which was the flesh of the enemy.

He walked a few steps to the side of the city wall.

This is a section of the city wall facing the canyon, extremely high, and the battlements built by the Tibetan people are not high, standing here, giving people a feeling of being near the abyss.

It was rare for the king to throw down the meat in his hand, and when he looked at it, he could see the mountains, rivers, and scenery.

The Tang army has recovered the land of the Yellow River.

After a long time, the cheering stopped. Li Sheng walked over and said, "General Wang, the marshal has summoned the generals to discuss." ”

"Let's go."

The two walked in a pool of blood on the ground, and Li Sheng suddenly whispered, "I saw Shilang just now." ”

"What did he say?"

"The news actually arrived a long time ago, but the battle was fierce before, and Li Shilang didn't tell us. As a result, the matter did not work out, and was told by Li Qiwu, and the sage was furious and wanted to abolish the prince. ”

Such a big matter, when it came to the mouths of the two generals, there were only a few concise words.

"Got it." The king rarely accepted this fait accompli with ease.

"But there is good news." Li Sheng said: "The prince and King Qing have a deep brotherhood, and they both think of Sheji, so the prince asked to give up the throne and ordered the sons to assist King Qing wholeheartedly. ”

"That's good."

"Do you regret putting your handprint on that damn paperwork?"

Wang said rarely: "There is nothing to regret. The big husband acts, dares to do it. ”

"Hey." Li Sheng said: "But we haven't lost yet, this matter has not involved Xue Lang, and now he is trying his best to redeem it in the court, and even won the support of Gao Lishi." ”

"He's still young, isn't he?"

Wang was not familiar with Xue Bai, and although he didn't want to despise anyone, he was still not sure what role a Zhongshushe person could play in the situation.

"It's young, younger than me." Li Sheng said: "But does General Wang know how many Longyou generals he recommended this time?" ”

"He recommended a general?"

"You'll find out in a moment."

As they spoke, the two of them had arrived at the big tent in Geshuhan.

They said some secret words on the way, and they came late, and the generals on the side had already arrived.

Soon, the discussion in the army began, Ge Shuhan looked around at the crowd, and spoke first, saying: "Our army has recovered the Yellow River Jiuqu ......"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

The atmosphere in the army was high-spirited and lasted for a long time, and Ge Shuhan finally waited for them to stop, and when he got down to business, he wanted to set up a new county in this area, called Taoyang County.

"Don't think that the war is over, I tell you, the heart of Tubo peeping at Helong will not die, and sooner or later it will come back! For this reason, Ben Shuai plans to set up a new Shence and Wanxiu Second Army in Taoyang to guard Jiuqu! ”

When the generals heard this, they cheered up.

If they won the battle, the imperial court would of course reward them for their merits, but the promotion opportunities that the new Second Army could bring were additional. Only the Shence military envoy and Wanxiu military envoy have two high positions, not to mention that there are many generals.

Really.

"The recital for you has been approved." Ge Shuhan said, "This matter has also been helped by many loyal ministers and righteous people in the court. ”

Wang rarely heard it, and couldn't help but glance at Li Sheng, realizing that the "loyal ministers and righteous men" referred to by the commander were probably referring to Xue Bai,

"Fire to Benevolence." Ge Shuhan soon began to roll call, saying, "Promoted to hussar general." ”

"Whoa! Xie Jieshuai! ”

"Wang Sili, Gat Jin."

"Xie Jieshuai!"

"Guo Yingyi, promoted to General Zuo Yulin; Quhuan, farewell will ......"

Li Sheng glanced at Qu Huan excitedly, and said in a low voice with Wang Yuan: "Who do you say will be the envoy of Shence and Wanxiu?" ”

The king was immediately moved.

Although he has a cold temperament, how can a general not love military power, and he can't help but think in his heart, since he signed the joint document, he can be regarded as a core figure, or may he serve as an army again?

"Cheng Ruxuan." Ge Shuhan said, "He is also the Taishou of Taoyang, and he is a military envoy." ”

The two envoys were immediately one missing, and the king was rarely one less hope.

Fortunately, the next moment, Ge Shuhan read his name.

"The king is rare."

"Yes."

"General Yunlu of Jinhao, also the Taishou of Yunzhong, and the military envoy of Qianyunzhong."

"Whoa."

It was rare for the king to respond calmly, but he felt unexpected in his heart.

Yun Zhongjun was in Hedong, and he didn't understand how he could suddenly be moved to Hedong......

That night, Li Xiu came with a wine bag.

"The general must be confused, I'm here to solve the general's confusion."

Wang is rare and now familiar with Li Xiu. and everyone jointly honored the prince, but the prince suffered, but he was not implicated, but it made him have more trust in Li Xiu.

He took the sac, took a sip, and asked, "How do you solve the puzzle?" ”

"This time, it was arranged by Xue Lang to arrange General Wang to go to Hedong to make meritorious contributions."

"Why?"

Li Xiu said that he was here to solve his doubts, but in fact, he was more like he was here to sell Guanzi, and said leisurely: "When General Wang arrived in Chang'an, he naturally knew." ”

So, a few days later, Wang Rare set off for Beijing, preparing to go to Yunzhong to take up his post after meeting Xue Bai.

~~

Changan.

In the blink of an eye, it is November again, and it has begun to snow in Chang'an, and the weather is very cold, and the cold wind blows people's skin dry.

Xue Bai got the news of returning from Longyou, and sometimes he could feel that many things were gradually getting better with his efforts.

He has been preparing to go to Fan Yang recently, just waiting to be ordered to go to Fan Yang to kill An Lushan.

But he felt that Li Longji's reaction in this matter was too slow, so he should send people to summon An Lushan back to the dynasty at the same time, and send elite soldiers and strong generals at the same time, and once An Lushan showed signs of not wanting to be called, he would immediately kill him. It's not like now, Fu Zhulin is coming back soon, and the generals in various places are not ready to move.

Of course, this is only Xue Bai's personal understanding. Perhaps, Li Longji has issued a secret order to Fu Zhuolin and let him dispose of it himself.

On the third day of November, Fu Zhuolin returned to the court.

Xue Bai was very concerned about this. However, although his intelligence is keen, almost all he can find out is market news, and what is happening in Miyagi is often difficult for him to know.

Therefore, Xue Bai didn't know how Fu Baolin replied to Li Longji, so he could only ask Du Yan to inquire about the movements of some eunuchs in the private mansion and the tone of the entourage, and speculate.

"It seems that An Lushan is ready to return to the court."

"Even if you return to the dynasty, it will be to paralyze Li Longji." Xue Bai said: "I don't believe that he really dares to step down as the envoy of Fan Yangjie." ”

"One more thing." Du Yan said, "I sent my men to keep an eye on Fu Zhuolin's private house and other businesses, and found that he had transported a large amount of property to his home. ”

"He took bribes?"

At this moment, Qinglan rushed over and said from afar: "Lang Jun, someone has come to invite, Yang Guozhong wants you to come over to the house." ”

Du Yan was a little surprised and said, "This time his news is so timely." ”

"This time it's related to his phase, how dare you not pay more attention to it?"

"You say, can he have news that we don't have?"

"Don't underestimate him."

"Make a bet." Du Yan said: "I bet he didn't." ”

"Okay." Xue Bai said, "What if he has news worth a thousand gold." ”

Xue Bai then asked Du Yan to continue to send people to keep an eye on Fu Baolin, and he went out and went to Yang Guozhong's house.

The two families were very close to each other, and they arrived in a short time.

Yang Guozhong had already sent someone to wait outside the door, and immediately led Xue Bai inside, looking a little anxious, and didn't even let Xue Bai take off his shoes, letting him step on the clean corridor made of sandalwood.

"You're all wrong! An Lushan is going back to worship the prime minister, this is your good idea? ”

As soon as he saw Xue Bai, Yang Guozhong immediately opened his mouth, looking very unbreathable.

Then, you don't have to listen to it to know that there must be something about his aspect.

Xue Bai disagreed, and asked, "Where did the news come from?" But Givin sent someone? ”

"It's strange that chicken tongue plague is reliable." Yang Guozhong said disdainfully: "The idea you gave me is worse than the mouth of the chicken tongue plague, let go of that villain, how can he do things for us with peace of mind." It's better to kill with a knife. ”

He still knew Giwin well.

Xue Bai said: "It's not Ji Wen, but who is it?" ”

"Naturally, I also have my news channels."

"Oh?"

Yang Guozhong paced a few steps, thinking about whether to tell Xue Bai, and finally spoke, saying: "Zhang Yan leaked the secret, he fell to An Lushan, we have to get rid of him." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The sage's tentative intentions were revealed to An Lushan by Zhang Yan, so this miscellaneous beard dared to come, gnaw on the dog's intestines, and disrupted our plans......"
