Chapter 566: Arrogant and unable to extricate himself
"Actually, if I don't forgive him, I don't count this matter. It's up to me Daddy. Mu Jiaojiao said.
She doesn't have much hatred for the King of Hejian, but she doesn't have much father-daughter affection. So no matter what the king of Hejian did to her, whether she was framed or helped, she didn't feel much.
From childhood to adulthood, Mu You was spoiling her and indulging her, raising her as a daughter wholeheartedly, and she had already recognized Mu You as her biological father in her heart. Even if the King of Hejian appeared later, and later he helped them do a lot of things, she only had gratitude in her heart. Maybe this is a preconceived idea!
It's just because Mu You has always hated the King of Hejian in her heart that she killed her mother, and because she loved her too much and was afraid that she would get too close to the King of Hejian, she simply kept her distance from the King of Hejian. In her heart, Mu You's father's rights need to be preserved first.
It's just that when it comes to the eldest lady's generation, Mu You is obviously downplayed, and she is also downplayed. She herself can only recognize Mu You's father, but whether the grandfather of the king of Hejian County recognizes it or not, that is the eldest lady's own business. Coupled with the situation when the eldest lady got married, the king of Hejian and Mu You got along, and the two of them should have released their previous suspicions!
Sure enough, not long after, Mu You took the initiative to repair a letter to the king of Hejian County, asking him to go to the land of Qilu to see the horses. The king of Hejian gladly agreed.
Although I don't understand how he is so good with Mu You. However, it is better to associate with Mu You, a person who does not have much interest in the DPRK and China, than with other officials. In addition, Mu You is Mu Jiaojiao's father, so it is understandable that the King of Hejian County can mix with him. The saint only asked a few casual questions and granted his request.
After the king of Hejian County left Chang'an, Yang Guozhong and the others were obviously relieved, and they began to jump up and down more and more wantonly. Now, his main object of fight is An Lushan.
Since becoming Yang Guifei's adopted son and taking over Li Linfu's power, coupled with his own strong forces at the border, An Lushan's power has become more and more powerful, which makes Yang Guozhong jealous. He complained to the sage several times, saying that An Lushan would inevitably rebel.
"But he's so stupid!" Cui Pu said of this person behind his back.
What a shrewd person An Lushan is, even the saint and Yang Guifei were coaxed by him, Yang Guozhong has a little bit of the cleverness of the low-level people in his belly, where is his opponent? Such a person also gave advice to the saint, saying that if An Lushan wants to rebel, he will not dare to come to Chang'an again, so he asked the saint to summon him to Chang'an. As a result, An Lushan came!
"This idiot. Relying on nepotism to climb to the position of prime minister, and being complimented by others around him every day, he got carried away, and really thought that he was a first-class smart person?" Cui Pu sneered, "At the beginning, Li Linfu was able to pinch this person in the palm of his hand." Later, when he got older, he was not ruthlessly put on a show by An Lushan? He didn't even have a full score of Li Linfu, and he dared to play such a trick, which was equivalent to making wedding clothes for others!"
Sure enough, in the first month of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan went to Huaqing Palace to meet Tang Xuanzong, and took the opportunity to cry to the sage, so he asked the sage to regard the contradiction between him and Yang Guozhong as a discord, and did not go to his heart, but was more kind to him, and appointed him as the left servant. An Lushan made inches of progress, and submitted a chapter to request the appointment of himself as the envoy of the idle stable, the herd of Longyou, etc., and asked to preside over the affairs of the director. The saints also complied.
In this way, the dominance of horses in Longyou fell into his hands.
After An Lushan became an idle stable envoy and a herd herd, he secretly selected the best horses. But he was not satisfied, and took away the right to be a shepherd, and then a horse herd.
In short, a series of things that originally had to go through layers of checkpoints, and various forces hindered each other to finally reach a certain delicate balance in Longyou and other places, such as raising horses, picking horses, and distributing horses, were all in his hands, and he was all arranged by himself! He was already the emperor of that place.
Now, anyone with a little brain has already seen his intention to rebel, but the saints in Chang'an City just can't see it.
"Nowadays, there are people who have spoken to the sage, saying that An Lushan is trying to rebel. Who knew that when the saint heard this, he was furious, and instead tied up the person and sent it to An Lushan to be disposed of, as a way to show his trust in him!" Speaking of this, Cui Pu couldn't help but be angry, "The saint is really old and confused!"
Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "It's really old and confused. is also fascinated by the illusion of wealth and prosperity in front of him, and he really thinks that everything that others present to him is the truth, and he is not willing to think about it with his heart. ”
And when a person does such a thing, he is not far from decay.
"Actually, I'm desperate for those people now. Whatever they want, as long as they don't come and I'm jumping with me. But this An Lushan is obviously someone who is supporting him and becoming more and more emboldened, and now he has the idea of our Liangzhou Dama!" slapped a worship post in his hand on the table, and Cui Pu was really angry about this.
Since suffering a big loss in their hands back then, An Lushan has not appeared in front of them for a long time. Of course, for various reasons, there will still be a lot of clerical exchanges, and they all maintain a peaceful attitude with each other. But now, since he dares to take the initiative to send it here, it means that he is going to pierce this seemingly calm layer of window paper.
"Then let him come, and we'll meet him too. Mu Jiaojiao said.
"It's time to meet him!" Cui Pu said through gritted teeth.
Soon, An Lushan really came to Liangzhou.
But he didn't come to see Cui Pu, but to his cousin An Sishun. But Cui Pu, as the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, naturally accompanied An Sishun.
It's only been a few years, and An Lushan seems to have gained weight several times, and his big belly is about to hang to the ground. When he sat down, he had to rely on Li Zhu'er next to him to put his big belly on his head, and then put his belly down after he sat down. He alone occupies the position of three people, and sitting there is like a mountain, which makes people feel that they can't breathe well just by looking at it.
Coupled with that Maitreya Buddha-like signature smiling face, it is really so kind and kind. Just looking at this face, it is indeed difficult to associate this person with the rebellion.
It's just that these are just appearances.
After more than ten years of development and growth, An Lushan's power has not only swelled day by day, but his temper has also swelled even more.
No, not long after he sat down, he said happily: "This time, the little brother came over because he lacked a few war horses. Knowing that Liangzhou produces good war horses, he dared to come over and borrow a few from you, brother. ”
Cui Pu immediately popped out of his forehead, and a green tendon jumped out.
When An Sishun heard this, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Why did my brother say this? I remember that the horses in Longyou and other places are not under your jurisdiction now? You can now control 20,000 or 30,000 horses, right?"
"Hey, having said that, how many good horses can really be used here? Brother, you also know that the Turks are good at riding and shooting, and the horses they raise are fattened and fat, and one can match more than three of us. In recent years, the Turks have frequently invaded, and the losses of our war horses are extremely serious, so the younger brother thought of simply assembling a heavy cavalry, and the matter has been reported to the saint, presumably the saint's promise will be delivered soon. Time was pressing, and the younger brother really didn't want to waste any more time, so he came to collect war horses everywhere first. An Lushan was still smiling.
He's so arrogant!
Now, he told them directly that this is what I want to do! Even without the permission of the saint, you have to cooperate with me honestly if I want to do it! Anyway, the matter has already been reported, and the saint will definitely allow it. So I don't bother to wait, I'll walk around first, and let you obediently hand over the good horses at hand. Otherwise, I will go and complain to the saint again, and the saint will definitely punish you!
When everyone present heard this, their faces couldn't help but change greatly.
An Sishun also said coldly: "Brother, is this planning to pick up all the good horses in Liangzhou?"
"Brother said with a smile, how dare the little brother do such a thing? I don't want much, you just need to pick out a thousand horses from the best horses and give it to me. "An Lushan Road.
Everyone gasped in unison.
A thousand! Superior horses! He said he didn't do things too well?
No matter how good the Liangzhou horse is, it is very good to be able to produce 5,000 horses a year. And out of 5,000 horses, can there be 500 of them? So after so many years of accumulation, they can only have about a thousand high-quality horses on hand.
An Lushan opened his mouth this time with a thousand, and he asked for all the good horses they had at hand!
He's too embarrassed to open this mouth!
Cui Pu directly took the case: "An Jiedu makes you stop dreaming, we won't give you a horse!"
An Lushan still had a smile on his face: "Oh, why is Deputy Envoy Cui bothering? The reason why this envoy is doing this is just to better fight against the Turks and expand the territory for my New Tang Dynasty." The saint also agreed. ”
"Don't you want to use a saint to press me, I'm not afraid! Anyway, you don't need to say anything more about this matter, I don't agree!" Cui Pu said coldly, and then hurriedly bowed to An Sishun, "The lower official is unwell, so I will leave first." Then he turned and departed.
Seeing him leave in such a dashing manner, a cold glint flashed in An Lushan's eyes.
But when he looked back, he was already smiling honestly.
"I haven't seen him for a few years, but this Deputy Envoy Cui's temper is getting bigger and bigger! It's also Brother that you have a big heart to tolerate him. ”
An Sishun smiled lightly: "He has a big temper, but his ability is not small! As long as he can do what he should do well, it doesn't hurt to make a fuss, and it won't harm my interests anyway." ”
An Lushan's eyes blinked. "Brother is right, Deputy Envoy Cui has really made a lot of contributions over the years. Over the years, his status has been rising, from a civil servant to a military general, and he has done so well, he is also a genius. Presumably, in another three years, he should be promoted to the rank of envoy, right? However, his in-laws are not bad, and Li Guangbi's father and son are also in a tight situation now! Everyone says that Deputy Envoy Cui's wife and daughter are very helpful to their husbands, and now it seems to be true. ”
When An Sishun heard this, the smile on his face narrowed a little.
"Deputy Envoy Cui has made outstanding achievements, and he should be promoted to the degree of envoy. The Cui family and the Li family are also very good, and presumably in a few years, another batch of upstarts will be born in the DPRK. ”
"Brother, you are really generous. When An Lushan heard this, he laughed more and more ill-intentionedly.
An Si twisted his head by the way: "Okay, they are all big men, what do you do talking about other people's housework all day long?" Come on, come on, let's drink!"
didn't even mention anything about him Liangzhou Dama.
An Lushan couldn't help gritting his teeth secretly, but he could only continue to smile.
Speaking of Cui Pu, after he left the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, he hurried back to his mansion.
If he stayed in that place any longer, he wasn't sure if he would rush up and kick that bastard over again. It's just that An Lushan is no longer the original An Lushan, and he can't rush down now. Besides, if he really kicks down, maybe he won't be the one who will be kicked over, but his own foot! He doesn't have a hobby of masochism.
Hey, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he felt that he urgently needed Mu Jiaojiao's tender comfort now!
Just turned over and dismounted, he asked the maid, "Where is the lady?"
"The lady was entertaining guests in the front room. The maid said busily.
"Why didn't I know there was a class today?"
"I came with the envoy of An Lushan Anjiedu. ”
Junjun!
Cui Pu suddenly popped up this name in his mind.
