Chapter 44 Chapter 44 v. Loyalty An Lushan was favored and excluded, Chen Xilie ran away

Ge Shuhan, what are you talking about?Do you dare to say it again? The fox howls ominously at the cave, because it has forgotten its origin! (The meaning of this sentence is that it is an ominous omen for a fox to bark at a hole, which is a sign of forgetting one's roots) An Lushan hadn't read many books. He only knew that Ge Shuhan had read tens of thousands of volumes, and listened to his words.The fat man became angry. He thought that Ge Shuhan was showing off after learning Chinese for a few years, and he used idioms to swear. You think I'm an idiot! You "fox" are mocking me as a Hu (Ge Shuhan is a Turkic)... who is a fox!Fatty An doesn't want to bear it any longer, who came here with you and looked down on me, Fan Yang?Pointing to his ear, An Lushan yelled at Ge Shuhan, "Listen to me again!"

The scene got out of control, Ge Shuhan jumped up like a big man, just about to start cursing, suddenly, Gao Lishi jumped up - he was here to start a fight. He winked at Ge Shuhan and told him to sit down quickly. Ge Shuhan still admired Gao Lishi very much, he wanted to give face, but he just couldn't give Fatty An the face, so he drank two bowls of wine, pretended to be drunk and left.Later, Ge Shuhan, who acted according to his own beliefs, led his troops to attack Tubo, pulled out Hongji, Damomen and other cities, and took over the Jiuqu tribe.Yang Guozhong saw that Ge Shuhan was also one of his own, and played him as the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and bestowed him with the title of Prince of Xiping County.

Ge Shuhan is such a person, he never said that he has any extraordinary talent, and he will never do things against his will, not for fame or profit.He conquered Anxi and made China prosperous and strong. From the Anyuan Gate to the west of the Tang Dynasty, there is a total of 12,000 miles of land.That's really all, but that's all, it's already very remarkable. Mrs. Guo is different from Concubine Yang, Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Han. Others have to put on makeup for an hour when they go out, but she doesn't have that patience. Every time she met Li Longji, she always had no makeup on. Later, people condensed the story of her meeting the emperor with a plain face into an idiom - facing up to the sky without a face.

It can be said that there are no ugly women in this world, only lazy ones.But the sisters of the Yang family are fundamentally beautiful, no wonder Li Longji likes them.The noble concubines and wives like to play with Li Longji in Huaqing Palace, and the meeting place is Yang Guozhong's house, with chariots and servants, full of several squares, beautiful pearls and jade, dazzling.The five relatives of the imperial concubine went to play together, and each family chose a color for clothing. After gathering, the red, orange, yellow and green were very beautiful.Yang Guozhong let Jiannan's Jingjie walk at the forefront, and all the people behind him were his own people, which seemed very heavy.

Yang Guozhong has a son named Yang Xuan, who is not good-looking and cannot be compared with Yang Guozhong. His studies are neglected and he is proficient in any game other than studying.He really doesn't look like his father at all, and the only thing he can resemble is Yang Xuan, who is also not like his father.Seeing that he had reached the age to take part in the imperial examination, Yang Guozhong realized that he already possessed all the qualities of hating iron but not steel.For people like Yang Xuan, if they want to pass the imperial examination, they have to ask whether the scholars are dead or not.If not, then you have to prepare quickly, cheat if you can, and make money if you can.

Right now there are two options: first, cheating.This move is extremely unreliable, because the risk factor of cheating is extremely high, and the exam questions are unknown. Moreover, if caught by someone who doesn't know Yang Xuan, all the candidates in the audience will know that these candidates are also literati, and they will spit endlessly. It's okay, it's nothing to write a letter to let the emperor know that Yang Guozhong has to act again.Maybe it's cheating! Second, bribery.Yang Guozhong thinks it is unreliable, only others can bribe him, and it is absolutely not his role to bribe others.Giving money is a kind of filial piety, giving a woman is a kind of filial piety, and getting Yang Xuan a pass is also a kind of filial piety.If you are not filial, the examiner will just wait and see.

As a result, Da Xixun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was tortured madly. Yang Xuan's level was really bad, so he sent his son to Yang Guozhong to explain.The child waited for a long time, and finally waited for Yang Guozhong to go to court.When Yang Guozhong was about to mount his horse, Da Xixun's son immediately rushed under his horse. The young man first introduced himself. Yang Guozhong knew that he was the examiner's son, and he was overjoyed and triumphant, "How is it, how is my son's literary talent?" son) did really badly in the exam. We were also very embarrassed, and we dared not let him fail..." Yang Guozhong was furious because he couldn't speak, pointed at him and cursed: "Why is my son not rich! Let you These bastards resell back and forth!"

After cursing, he rode away. When Da Xixun's son returned home, he didn't dare to speak out, and left a note for Da Xixun, "He is a powerful man, so arrogant as hell, why should we argue with him?" Da Xixun could see the implication.He can only click on Yang Xuan Jidi.Not long after, Yang Xuan became the servant of the household department.Poor Da Xixun, after working so hard for so many years, he just moved to the Ministry of Officials and became colleagues with Yang Xuan.What happened next, you should know when you think about it.But the strange thing is, Yang Xuan didn't mess around with You Si, instead he always praised Da Xi Xun.In fact, Yang Xuan is a very self-aware person. He often tells others that he is simply an idiot, and Da Xixun is the real strongman.

It's very interesting, especially interesting. Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong should learn from their sons, but they are all me, and they are fathers to their sons, so they will never learn from them.Yang Guozhong, who refused to humbly ask his son for advice, began to collect money, accepting bribes from China and foreign countries, and there were 30 million pieces of silk and satin alone.He was still thinking about Fatty An's rebellion, but An Lushan was always able to capture people from Khitan and Huihe to sacrifice to Li Longji. In the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754 AD), Yang Guozhong gave the impatient Li Longji a bad idea.Since An Lushan will not rebel, His Majesty will call him to Beijing. If he does not come, it must be rebellion.When Li Longji heard this, he realized that things might really be changing.

However, after issuing the edict, Fatty An soon appeared in front of him.From then on, Li Longji determined that An Lushan would not rebel, and he also met him in Huaqing Palace. Someone sue you. What? ! An Lushan looked disappointed and terrified, and cried while covering his big belly, "I am a barbarian, Your Majesty! Your Majesty loves me, and promoted me to this point! I know that I am hated by Yang Guozhong, and I don't know when I will be killed!" Li Longji was disturbed by Fatty An, and rewarded him generously (a reward of tens of millions of dollars). In order to comfort Fatty, he specially issued an order, ordering Yang Guozhong not to say that An Lushan was planning to rebel.

However, this incident aroused public outrage. Prince Li Heng came in to advise, listing An Lushan's abnormal behavior, and was scolded by Li Longji like his son.People possessed by demons are particularly scary. Li Longji wanted An Lushan to become the prime minister of the court, and he had already issued an order to let Zhang Yi (both members of the Hanlin Academy and Zhang Shuo's son, Zhang Jun) prepare a draft. When Yang Guozhong heard about it, he was shocked, and led a huge admonition activity. He said bitterly: "Although Lushan has military achievements, but he doesn't know the books, how can he be a prime minister? If the books are not made, I'm afraid the barbarians will lighten the Tang Dynasty." Yang Guozhong accurately pinched Li Longji's seven inches, and the matter was stopped. However, Yang Guozhong's attack was too soft. A few days later, people were surprised to find that An Lushan had become a Zuo servant and guarded in Fanyang. Moreover, Li Longji also bestowed one of Fatty An's sons as a third-rank official and the other as a senior official. Four ranks.Baiguan has seen Li Longji's lower limit, that is, there is no lower limit.In addition to being able to support soldiers, Fatty An also leads idle stables and group herds (war horses). Comrade Emperor thought that the officials were not big enough, and there were not enough officials, so he specially asked Fatty to be idle stables and group herds in Longyou.The fat man went to the table and became the horse director again, leading the horses.In fact, when Bi Mawen reached the realm, he was just like Fatty An.An Lushan saw that as long as he asked for anything, Li Longji would agree to anything, so he wrote a letter again, asking Yushi Zhongcheng to be his servant of the military department and his deputy envoy. Yushi Zhongcheng is Ji Wen. Yang Guozhong finally woke up, understood, and regretted it! This Ji Wen is really the most duplicitous guy he has ever seen, and he is really with An Lushan.Fatty An selected thousands of horses and drove them to the grassland to graze.However, Mr. Li Longji gave himself the honorary title in the Taiqing Palace, Kaiyuan Tiandi Great Treasure Saint Wen Shenwu proves the emperor of filial piety.The longer the title, the shorter the life, that's the reason.When Fatty An heard that his godfather had added a title to him, he was really happy in his heart (it was true), and he flattered him on the watch, and the flattery was loud. "The officers and men led by the minister conquered the Xi, Khitan, Jiuxing, Tongluo and other tribes, and achieved a lot of honors. The minister wanted to be more informal and rewarded more than the capital. I beg your Majesty to grant you the qualifications to promote and confer military ranks on your own. I am grateful Endless!" An Lushan said so, that's right.He already has military power, but he still lacks the power to appoint officials. At this time, Li Longji once again showed everyone his lower limit and agreed to An Lushan's request.Immediately afterwards, Fatty An awarded more than 500 generals and more than 2,000 Zhonglang generals.On the first day of March in the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754 A.D.), An Lushan bid farewell to Li Longji and prepared to return to Fanyang.Li Longji was reluctant to part with him, and he also showed the specific meaning of being obsessed with ghosts - he took off his royal clothes and gave them to An Lushan. Fatty An bid farewell with tears and left the imperial city, fearing that Yang Guozhong would do something wrong, so he rode his horse and galloped down the river by boat.He asked the boatman to hold the rope board on the shore, and change groups of people every fifteen miles, traveling day and night, transporting rewards and horses, traveling hundreds of miles a day, crossing counties without getting off the boat, and soon returned to Fanyang. Ge Shuhan recently wrote an application to reward Anxi's generals for their merits.It is not easy to protect the environment and the people in Anxi. Li Longji admired Ge Shuhan very much, and specially named many generals in the west.Ge Shuhan also invited Yan Wu, the son of Yan Ting, to be the judge of Jiedu, Lu Chen of Hedong as the judge of Duzhi, Gao Shi, the former Fengqiu Wei (pay attention to this guy), as the secretary, and Qu Huan as the other general.Li Longji played one by one, making people envious. The jealous one is Yang Guozhong. Therefore, Mr. Yang stepped up his crusade against Nanzhao, and Li Mi, the imperial censor and Yu Nanliu's empress, had already embarked on the journey according to Yang Guozhong's instructions.Maybe it was because Yang Guozhong was too embarrassing, so every time he sent troops, many people died.When the 70,000 troops arrived in Nanzhao, they couldn't attack the city for days, and within a few days, seven or eight out of ten died of starvation.Yang Guozhong didn't cry, but became angry first. He insisted on increasing his troops, and played Li Longji, saying that the news of victory was frequent.Li Longji was overjoyed, and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer again. This time, more than 200,000 people died. Li Longji thought that the world was peaceful, and the current prime minister had made great military achievements. One day, he even showed off to Gao Lishi, "I'm getting old, and all the affairs of the court are handed over to Yang Guozhong and the others, and all the side affairs are handed over to Ge Shuhan and the others. I have nothing to worry about!" Trembling, "I heard that 300,000 people died in Nanzhao, and besides, the generals will support themselves. Once they have evil intentions, how will your majesty deal with it? I am afraid that there will be a disaster and there is no way to remedy it. I am terrified every day. Your Majesty, How can you say that the world has no worries? The old minister implores His Majesty to make an early decision!" Li Longji frowned, "It's not as serious as what Aiqing said? Don't say it, let me think about it again." When he thought about it, he thought about it for a long time, until he went to Anlu Mountain to raise troops Rebellion, he only slightly figured it out. Under the leadership of Yang Guozhong, the court's infighting escalated. First of all, Chen Xilie couldn't bear Yang Guozhong and began to have a backbone. Yang Guozhong thought about how to squeeze Chen Xilie out.Afterwards, Chen Xilie was expelled from the imperial court, and An Lushan immediately went up to play, and let the military minister Ji Wen take his place.
