Chapter 45 Chapter 45: Yang Guozhong Opens His Eyes and Tells Nonsense Feng Shenwei Declares an Edict to Break the Backer

Facts have proved that if you count on the infighting among traitorous officials to clean up the government, you can only wait for the country to perish.The frightening thing is that in the eyes of Comrade Li Longji, neither Yang Guozhong nor An Lushan is a traitor, and they are both very loyal, working hard for the country day and night, devoting themselves to death. The heavy rain in Guanzhong did not stop, causing floods. Jing Zhaoyin Li Xian (son of Li Yi) was anxious about this matter, but Yang Guozhong was very happy.When he was happy, he took advantage of the opportunity to participate in Li Xian's book, and demoted him, a disturbing official who was ineffective in administration and good at using tricks and abductions, to Changsha.

However, the rain kept falling and the atmosphere became less and less harmonious. Li Longji's thinking was still normal. He was worried that the heavy rain would destroy the crops, so he asked people about the situation of the people.The person he asked could only be Yang Guozhong, who was on the sidelines. This is enough to prove that relatives and distant sages are sufficient conditions for the ruin of a country and family, but not necessary and sufficient conditions.Yang Guozhong asked someone to take the best millet and showed it to Mr. Li Longji, "Although the heavy rain was severe, it did not damage the crops. The people are doing well!"

Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Li Longji was dubious. Yang Guozhong's behavior really annoyed many people, but everyone despises him at home, and the only people they confide in are their wives and children. Those who have no daughter-in-law can only tell Xiaoqiang on the ground about their depression.Only Fufeng prefect Fang Guan, although he has a wife and a lot of cockroaches in his house, he resolutely played, "The people are displaced, and even the corpses are washed away, so what is good?" Fang Guan fancied that Li Longji would definitely be furious, and even went directly to Lord Yang Guozhong's prison, and Yang Guifei and his sisters would suffer accordingly.Fang Guan is too simple, so simple that he doesn't know that Li Longji is too lazy to worry about these mundane affairs.

The letter finally reached Yang Guozhong's hands, and Fang Guan was imprisoned. The heavy rain continued for more than a month, and the floods flooded. How could there be no floods?Against the background of the treacherous officials, although Mr. Li Longji's IQ has dropped a lot, he also knows that if the rain continues, there must be something wrong with the crops.If the crops are fine, the continuous rain must be because the gods are not used to him. He began to feel uneasy and frowning. He asked Gao Lishi: "It's raining continuously, if Aiqing has anything to say, just say it!"

Expeditions everywhere, countless casualties, floods in Guanzhong, you don't even ask. Gao Lishi was very aggrieved and angry, "Since His Majesty handed over all the authority to the prime minister, rewards and punishments are immeasurable, yin and yang are out of balance, what do you have to say? Dare you say it?" Li Longji was silent, as if he had been deceived by something.However, he couldn't tell whether it was Gao Lishi who was disloyal or Yang Guozhong who was disloyal.In fact, there is no need to be so clear. Li Longji has always enjoyed the process of the emperor and me using the conflicts between the ministers to check and balance them. He may not know that the fat man weighing 300 catties in Fanyang, Hebei has already started Sharpen the knife to the pigs and sheep.Emperor Li was quite at ease with his godson, at least his son looked like a good man.

Finally one day, someone told Li Longji that the good-looking man had rebelled.The person who said this must have the two characteristics of insight and recklessness, and he was willing to cut himself to pieces, and dared to pull the emperor off his horse. He was the new left minister Wei Jiansu. But in Li Longji's eyes, An Lushan was still very obedient. Wei Zhi, the prefect of Hedong and the interview envoy of the Dao, was well-known for his elegance, and Yang Guozhong was afraid that he would become a prime minister and frame him. This Wei Zhi bribed Ji Wen with money to let Ji Wen speak well in front of An Lushan, and let An Lushan speak well in front of Li Longji.Therefore, An Lushan wrote a letter to Li Longji with only one purpose-to sue Wei Zhi.Poor Wei Zhi was demoted to Guiling Captain, and Ji Wen, who worked for An Lushan, was also demoted to Liyang Chief History.

Seeing this, I was a little confused, but Yang Guozhong was still very calm, since you, An Lushan, dared to betray Wei Zhi, then I dared to kill Ji Wen. An Lushan is also very calm, anyway, I'm going to turn against him, if you want to harm Ji Wen, do it, I don't care! How cheap. In order to attack Yang Guozhong, An Lushan began to collect charges against him again, and stabbed Li Longji with a complaint.Unexpectedly, Li Longji's reaction was to ignore it. Who does this emperor love more?Fatty An was not annoyed, and wrote another letter, requesting that all thirty-two Han generals be replaced by feudal generals. The reason was that the Han people were weak and the Hu people were fierce.

Unexpectedly, Li Longji's reaction was: "Just do it!" No one knew what Mr. Emperor had in mind, even Yang Guozhong, who was very familiar with Li Longji, couldn't understand how he made this decision.Wei Jiansu couldn't understand it even more. He saw Yang Guozhong, "The Northeast is about to rebel. I will sue him in front of the emperor tomorrow. If the emperor doesn't understand, you can continue to sue. If you don't understand, we will sue together!" The two brothers discussed very well, even colluding in the details.On the second day, I met Li Longji. Li Longji was the same as before, and his face became very ugly when he heard someone say that An Lushan had rebelled.He stared at Yang Guozhong, always seeing Yang Guozhong embarrassed.

In the end, the two retreated under Li Longji's contemptuous eyes. Wei Jiansu and Yang Guozhong didn't let up, and a few days later they made a fuss about asking Li Longji to get rid of An Lushan's Pingzhang, and called him into the palace. Jiedushi.Doing this can not only abolish the military power of the big fat man, but also reflect the virtues of the Holy Lord Long En. Li Longji agreed and regretted it. Li Longji regretted it after the book had been written, and he held on to the book and refused to distribute it.In order to observe whether An Lushan had any evil intentions, he asked the Chinese envoy Fu Lin to observe secretly in the name of giving Zhenguo.Fu Jiaolin went to Fanyang, exchanged precious fruits for pearls, and returned to the court to report that An Lushan had become a character with a red heart facing the sun.

Li Longji called Yang Guozhong: "Listen, I'm not wrong, right? There must be no other people in Lushan. He helped me to control the Khitan and Xi in the northeast." Li Longji pointed to himself, "I use my own An old bone guarantees him, he must be a loyal minister, don't worry about it in the future!" Yang Guozhong was naturally not mentally retarded enough to believe in fairy tales. In April of this year, Yang Guozhong completely collapsed.Because An Lushan made great contributions again, he defeated the Xi and Khitan armies and won honor for the motherland.Li Longji thought about him so much that he sent a messenger to look, but he couldn't even see Fatty's face.

In order to prove that he was right, Yang Guozhong asked Jing Zhaoyin to lead people to surround An Lushan's mansion in Chang'an, arrested a large number of followers, and sent them to Yushitai for interrogation.These disciples didn't say whether An Lushan wanted to rebel, because they really didn't know.An Lushan said that he looked down on Yang Guozhong mainly because Yang Guozhong was not as easy-to-use as Li Linfu.Facts have proved this point again. Mr. Yang was busy catching doormen, but he forgot about An Qingzong (who married Princess Li Tang Rongyi as his wife) enshrined in the capital. The movement of Mr. Yang arresting the retainers was so loud, it was obvious that he was telling An Qingzong to tell your father quickly that I, Yang Guozhong, had acted, and told him to act quickly.Sure enough, Fatty An received a secret letter from his son, and he felt very stressed.Hearing that Yang Guozhong was urging Li Longji to call him to Beijing for an audience, An Lushan was even more frightened. In the summer, An Lushan received an invitation letter from Li Longji, saying that a prince was getting married, so he must be there. An Lushan analyzed it. When I arrived in the capital, you must have a group of Taishi come forward to act, saying that the time is not suitable for marriage, and the wedding was cancelled, but I was locked up.Fatty An smiled, and told the messenger with a smile, "I'm sick and can't go to Beijing." Fatty's illness lasted for several months.In July, he felt that something was wrong, and expressed his willingness to offer three thousand horses. Each horse had two husbands, and all the horses were escorted by special personnel (there were twenty-two generals, leading all their troops) . This is a well-planned conspiracy! Henan Yin Da Xixun (who has been promoted) wrote a letter saying: "Your Majesty, it is best to order the horses and chariots from Anlu Mountain to come back in winter, and the imperial court will send escorts themselves, so they don't need to trouble themselves." Li Longji received the letter, seriously After studying An Lushan's recent actions, finally, he remembered to ask Da Xixun for a strategy.However, Da Xixun was very calm, and suggested that he was going to lead the troops, but let the fat man come alone first. Li Longji immediately asked someone to write a letter to An Lushan: I will make a soup for Qing, and I will treat you in Huaqing Palace in October. (I just researched a drink, it's delicious, I will be in Huaqing Palace in October, waiting for you) The envoy Feng Shenwei, one of the eunuchs, came to Fanyang with a handbook, and finally saw An Lushan.An Lushan lay paralyzed on the bed with a pool of fat, his legs were swollen apart, and the fat on his belly swallowed his knees.Feng Shenwei felt that the scene was abnormal, and he couldn't bear to make Fatty An stand up.However, according to etiquette, to read the imperial decree, one must salute. Seeing that the envoy announced the imperial decree, Fatty An moved his buttocks, got up a little and sat down again, just meaning. Feng Shenwei frowned, he knew that this guy was going to do something bad. Eunuch Feng looked at An Lushan, and when he finished reading, he saw An Lushan squatting on his extra-large beard bed, and said bitterly: "It's okay if you don't offer the horse. I will definitely go to the capital in October!" It's okay to offer, Shiyue Zhuoran, the capital teacher) After finishing speaking, he motioned for someone to take Feng Shenwei to the pavilion to rest, no more questions, and no one answered the envoy sent by the imperial court.After being detained for several days, Feng Shenwei knew that something was wrong, so he secretly found a horse, absconded, and ran back to Chang'an. Seeing Li Longji, Feng Shenwei burst into tears, "I almost didn't come back alive!" Li Longji was shocked, "Really?" Li Longji couldn't believe that his stupid fat son did such a thing.Since the early years of Tianbao, Fatty An has been in charge of the military affairs of the three towns, with 190,000 troops, all of whom are extremely elite cavalry, accounting for 40% of the Tang Dynasty's troops.Since you want to rebel, you must have an accomplice.An Lushan discussed the details of the rebellion with his accomplices every day. The main members of the accomplices were Kong Muguan, the eunuch Cheng Yanzhuang, the secretary in charge, the farmer Wailang Gaoshang, and the general Ashina Chengqing.Fatty An forged an imperial edict and asked Fan Yang to gather the guarding generals.During the meeting, he introduced that the country has reached a critical moment. This edict is a letter of help written by Emperor Xuanyuan specially to his old man. Because the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong conspired against him, he sent someone here to ask for help. We, loyal ministers and good generals, must Send troops to support. Fatty An's performance was quite a failure, because everyone began to look at each other in blank dismay. It's better to say less of such deceitful nonsense. In November of the 14th year of Tianbao (AD 755), An Lushan, the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu in Jiazi, gathered an army of 150,000 from Tongluo, Xi, Khitan, Shiwei and other tribes, known as 200,000, and set up troops in Fanyang. A major turmoil that shocked history and caused a sensation at home and abroad began at this moment. Later, because of Shi Siming's participation and continued disasters, people called this world-famous turmoil the "Anshi Rebellion".Since then, the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty have turned into decline, with constant conquests and melees, smoke and clouds passing by, prosperity no longer, sad, exasperating, hateful, and deplorable! Fatty An ordered Jia Xun, the deputy envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu, to stay in Fanyang, and asked Lu Zhijiao, the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, to guard Pinglu, and not Gao Xiuyan to guard Datong.These few important military areas have easily become the territory of the anti-military forces.All the generals were originally selected by An Lushan himself. Seeing An Lushan's rebellion, they drew troops one after another and rose up overnight. The army moved very quickly. After leaving the south of Jicheng, An Lushan held a swearing-in meeting, and the meeting achieved the same dream amidst the roar of killing-conquering the treacherous minister Yang Guozhong! This is the main topic of this meeting. Those who have objections to treason and incite the soldiers will be killed and the three clans!
