Chapter Seventy-Six: Good Mountains, Good Waters, Good Customs
Yang Guozhong nodded and said, "Well, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing unspeakable." May I ask Gu Changshi, how can I keep Chang'an?"
Gu Zuo asked: "I just don't know, what kind of Chang'an does Yang Xiang want to keep?"
Yang Guozhong said: "No matter what kind of Chang'an, just keep it." ”
The situation in Chang'an has gradually become clear, the Son of Heaven does not care about anything, the prince and Gao Lishi are ready to make a move, Yang Guozhong, as the prime minister, it is impossible to say that he is completely kept in the dark, and the two sides have actually reached the point where they are about to be clarified.
But Gu Zuo is a little strange, look at this meaning, it seems that Yang Guozhong is not purely trying to win himself over, but intends to compromise and make concessions?
"What exactly does Yang Xiang want to say?"
Yang Guozhong said slowly: "Yesterday, An Lushan broke through Luoyang and killed Li Yi, Zhongcheng Lu Yi, and Jiang Qing, the envoy of the Eastern Capital. ”
Gu Zuo said: "Luoyang can't be defended, this should have been known a long time ago." ”
Yang Guozhong said again: "The secret agent reported urgently, An Lushan is scheduled to be the emperor in three days, and he is going to be the emperor under the false name Yan." ”
An Lushan is about to be the emperor, which is nothing unusual for Gu Zuo, but for others, it is very shocking, Gu Zuo can see that Yang Guozhong in front of him has obviously suffered a huge blow, and he has no confidence in controlling the government.
Without confidence, Yang Guozhong naturally had no willingness to compete with the prince, he said to Gu Zuo: "Yang doesn't know how to keep Chang'an, the Son of Heaven wants to be the king of the dead country, but Yang doesn't want to be the minister of the dead country, and I ask Changshi to come forward and make peace with the prince." The tone was very sincere.
Gu Zuo nodded and said: "Yang Xiang is willing to put aside his prejudices and work together to face a strong enemy, which is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty." It is naturally not a problem to make peace with the prince, but the premise is, can Yang Xiang accept the prince's conditions?"
Yang Guozhong said: "Long history, please speak." ”
Gu Zuo said: "It's very simple, support the crown prince to ascend the throne." ”
Yang Guozhong said with difficulty: "Can the prince supervise the country? No one can bear the name of killing the king." ”
Gu Zuo said: "Where has it reached the point of killing the monarch? Are you worried that Your Majesty will abdicate, and your Yang family's power and wealth will be difficult to protect, right? This is not difficult, after Your Majesty abdicates, the Emperor will be honored, the noble concubine will be the concubine of Jin, your Yang family is still the national ruler, how about it?"
Yang Guozhong said: "If the new emperor wants to kill me, how can the emperor be able to keep it?"
Gu Zuo asked, "Then what is your good plan?"
Yang Guozhong said: "The crown prince ascended the throne, and now he is the emperor, and Yang is still in charge of the political hall." ”
Gu Zuo groaned: "It's okay. ”
Yang Guozhong was overjoyed: "If I can agree, I will ascend the throne as the crown prince." ”
Gu Zuo asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yang Guozhong said: "Please take Changshi as the Taishi and transfer the Southern Wu Army into Beijing." ”
Gu Zuo knew that this was because Yang Guozhong was afraid that after the matter was completed, the prince would unload the mill and kill the donkey, and he would have to protect himself. The transfer of troops into Beijing was originally a planned arrangement, but it was not an out-of-the-ordinary condition, and it was done immediately.
After agreeing, he said: "I heard that An Lushan's eldest son...... What's it called? An Qingzong? He's still in Chang'an, and he seems to be living a good life?"
Yang Xiang was a little embarrassed: "It's better to have him than to force An Rebellion to jump over the wall in a hurry, but he has already sent troops to supervise it, and he can't run." ”
Gu Zuo didn't speak, just stared at Yang Guozhong with his eyes, and stared at Yang Guozhong gradually lowered his head: "I know, I will arrest someone immediately, An Lushan dares to be the emperor, and I will kill him." ”
Mrs. Yu Guo called out her car and drove Gu Zuo back to the Xihe Road Museum, watching the car turn around the corner without blinking.
Yang Guozhong was a little surprised: "This is a secret promise?"
Mrs. Yu Guo said hatefully: "Take me away, you are embarrassed to say it, don't come to my door in the future, get out!"
It was almost dawn, and the car drove into the Xihe Road Pavilion, and a movement woke up Li Twelve, and when he saw the carriage, Li Twelve snorted and said, "Did you go to Mrs. Qiu's house for the night?"
Gu Zuo's face was tired: "Don't make trouble, I saw Yang Guozhong." ”
Li Twelve asked, "How?"
Gu Zuo nodded: "Guarding Chang'an, I have a little more confidence." ”
Li Twelve said: "Niangniang added several changes to the neon dress and feather dance yesterday, and I feel more and more, as if I am in a formation?"
Gu Zuo said: "Put it out and take a look." ”
So, Li Twelve took out the sub-Go and lined up a formation of neon clothes and feathers dancing on the spot. Each piece represents nine people, and a full 90 pieces are arranged, for a total of 810 people, and the arrangement is completed.
This number is very mysterious, and it already has the meaning of a magic circle, Gu Zuo looked at it for a long time, and let Li Twelve start to evolve the formation. Thirty-six changes were performed in a row, and the drill was completed. She also found Lin Suxian, He Xiaofan, and more than 20 disciples in the door, and danced a few sections for Gu Zuo on the spot.
Gu Zuo was a teacher in the Nanhua School of the Formation Flow Sect, and he copied and studied a lot of formation knowledge, and he paid special attention to the role of the magic circle, and purchased and participated in the layout of many magic circles from low-end to high-end.
In Gu Zuo's view, in the sense of the formation, these three hundred and sixty talents are the "chess pieces" of the formation, and the remaining four hundred and fifty dancers are the real "maiko".
Gu Zuo explained, Li 12 recorded, and soon after got more than 30 pages of the formation change map of the neon dress and feather dance, Li 12 annotated the dance posture of each change, and bound it into a book with thread.
This busy work is another day, and this retrospective Zuo finally spent a whole night in the same room with Li Twelve, but unfortunately he has not yet reached the point of falling asleep. Both of them were deeply immersed in the formation of the neon clothes and feather dance, and when the rooster crowed, Gu Zuo reacted and slapped himself.
Li Twelve said strangely: "What's wrong?"
Gu Zuo sighed: "Missed opportunity!"
Li Twelve's face turned red, and he said angrily: "What's the hurry?" and said: "You are merry outside, and I can't care about you, but you have to pay attention, I really can't help it...... In fact, Xiuxiu and Xiaofan are like sisters to me, and I brought them out by hand, and I have already asked them what they mean......"
Gu Zuo couldn't believe it: "Take the two of them with you?"
Li Twelve said: "What's so strange about this? According to the rules of our hometown, when you get married, close sisters can marry together. ”
Gu Zuo couldn't take care of Li Twelve's "surprise" when he started to talk about marriage, and the custom of the sister group to marry was already so pleasantly surprised that he trembled, and hurriedly asked: "Is this really true? What is the custom.........?" It's weird!"
Li Twelve glanced at him: "The custom of Linying in my hometown is not only Linying, but also in many places, what's so strange?"
Gu Zuozan said: "Linying is a good place, good mountains, good water, good customs!"
Li Twelve pursed his lips and said, "As for me, I naturally want to find time to become a relative, and then you can accept the two of them first." Xiuxiu told me, since I went to Nanwu Prefecture with you, it is difficult to even see you, but you still don't like it?"
Gu Zuo slapped himself again: "Damn it, damn it!" After being excited, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you at odds with Senior Sister Lin?"
Li Twelve stared at Gu Zuo and said, "You like her too?" That girl has a heart higher than the sky, you can think about it, and she is not perfect." ”
Gu Zuo hurriedly swore an oath, saying that he had no such intention: "I mean, if you don't get along, or you won't take her to Nanwu Prefecture." That's what I meant, I didn't think about it. ”
