The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 160 The Sacred Heart Is Unpredictable
The sky is far away, the earth is far away, and there are thousands of rivers and mountains. I know where the Forbidden City is.Why don't you think about it, except in your dreams, sometimes you have gone.There is no evidence, and the dream is also new.

……

After the banquet, Xuanzong and the imperial concubine drove back to Daming Palace.

After returning to the palace, Xuanzong abandoned everyone and meditated in the study.The eunuchs and court ladies did not dare to disturb, and retreated far away.Only Gao Lishi served him personally.

After a long while, Xuanzong opened his eyes, picked up a secret letter from the table, and threw it to Gao Lishi.Gao Lishi saw that it was the opposite of An Sishun's secret performance of An Lushan.

Xuanzong got up from the collapse, paced back and forth, and said: "Hexi Jiedu envoy is the most powerful Jiedu envoy among the top ten Jiedu envoys. In the second year of Emperor Ruizong's Jingyun, he served as the governor of Liangzhou He Ba Yansi. Hexi Jiedu envoy. As the first Jiedu envoy, Heba Yansi was able to kill military officials, build a festival mansion, and set up six banners. Foreign appointments are more important than others. Therefore, Liangzhou has "the first festival in the world" degree".

Among the princes, in the 15th year of Kaiyuan, Cong'er led the governor of Liangzhou and the envoy of Hexi Jiedu.

Huangfu Weiming, Wang Zhongsi, and An Sishun served as Hexi Jiedu envoys three times in recent years.

Wang Zhongsi, An Sishun, and Ge Shuhan all told me repeatedly that An Lushan would definitely rebel.Lux, tell me, why is this? "

"This~~" Gao Lishi didn't know how to answer.

"I also had doubts about An Lushan, but this time he came to Beijing with his family and kept his mother, wife and children as hostages, which made me feel at ease. If he had no intention of treason, Wang Zhongsi, An Sishun and brother Why does Shu Han keep warning me that An Lushan will rebel?"

"Could it be because they discovered that An Lushan was secretly expanding his troops?" Gao Lishi responded cautiously.

"Hmph, which Jiedushi doesn't secretly expand his territory and troops?
Gao Xianzhi launched the war of destroying the country against Shi Guo and Tuqi Shi, and the large amount of materials and money he plundered ended up in his own pocket.

I have just appointed Gao Xianzhi as the prefect of Wuwei, and I want to transfer him away from the Western Regions.An Sishun was afraid that his Hexi Jiedu envoy would be replaced, implying that the Hexi Qunhu "cut their ears and face" to stay with each other bitterly.

Hmph, do you think I don't know about the tricks they play? "

"Your Majesty is very discerning, and even more benevolent and magnanimous. If these barbarians are not grateful, the world will not tolerate it!" Gao Lishi said with emotion.

Gao Lishi has served Xuanzong for many years, so he doesn't know Xuanzong's concerns.Whether these Jiedu envoys launched wars against Zhuhu, burned, killed, looted, or embezzled military pay, they filled their pockets.The most is to be a local emperor in one's own territory, eating, drinking, having fun, and spending money extravagantly.What Xuanzong was really afraid of was the collusion between the general who held the military power and the prince, and supported him to ascend the throne.This is also the reason why Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi, although brave and good at fighting and upright, were innocently deprived of their military power, and it was difficult for them to die well.

Xuanzong said to himself: "The four major barbarians are Jiedu envoys, Gao Xianzhi has no prince to back him. After the Battle of Talas, he was dismissed from the post of Jiedu envoy of the four towns of Anxi, and now he is the general of Youjinwu in Beijing; He belonged to Li Linfu, who was at odds with the Eastern Palace. Ge Shuhan was Wang Zhongsi's hard-core subordinate, and he was considered a half-prince. Who is this An Sishun? Lishi, help me find out. Perhaps, in the capital, There is also a general who "breaks the army"!"

Gao Lishi hastily agreed.

Xuanzong frowned and said, "I miscalculated."

Gao Lishi didn't dare to answer, he knew Xuanzong had something to say.

Xuanzong snorted coldly, and said: "The matter of Bai Fu, it should be Li Cong and Li Linfu deliberately acting for me. Li Cong knew that if Li Linfu led all the officials to recommend him, I would definitely not agree. Therefore, he broke up with Li Linfu in a high-profile manner. If everything is as expected, then Li Cong will definitely have someone behind him. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you fight, and if you fight, you don't fight."

Gao Lishi cautiously said: "Prince Qing has lost his appearance, and it will be difficult for him to inherit the throne. He should know this, right?"

Xuanzong's eyes were cold: "No one in the world covets the Ninth Five-Year Lord! What's more, he is the eldest son. From the legal system, he is easier to get the support of hundreds of officials than Li Heng."

Gao Lishi said: "But, I haven't seen what King Qing is doing recently?"

Xuanzong said: "Dogs that bite people don't bark. It has been a while since I asked you to release the rumors. In Chang'an City, except for hundreds of officials who have written letters to support the princes, you can see the voice of the Guanlong Gate Clan? Back then Emperor Taizong liked Wei. Wang Litai, if it wasn't for Lonely, the eldest grandson and other families, how could it be Emperor Gaozong's turn to succeed. These Guanlong nobles are not like hundreds of officials. They only think about my thoughts and choose sides. Once they choose someone, they will force I will make him a reserve."

Seeing that Xuanzong was angry, Gao Lishi didn't dare to answer directly, and asked instead: "Your Majesty asked Taifu Xu to sit in Luoyang to relieve the disaster, but you don't want him to return to Beijing?"

Xuanzong said with a smile: "The Taifu's prestige is too high, and his influence on the powerful family should not be underestimated. It's better to avoid it. What I did was to protect him. The Taifu is wise and far-reaching, and he must understand my painstaking efforts."

Xuanzong let out a long sigh and said, "Lishi, do you know why the emperors of all dynasties call themselves 'widows'?

The words 'lonely' and 'lonely' are not called for nothing.

Sitting on the dragon chair, you are the loneliest in the world. "

Xuanzong fell into deep thinking.Gao Lishi didn't dare to disturb him, and stayed by his side quietly.

Suddenly, Xuanzong said without thinking: "Let Li Xuexuan go to Luoyang White Horse Temple to meditate for a while, Chang'an is too noisy and not suitable for monks."

Gao Lishi didn't dare to say more: "No!"

……

Within two days, Li Qiu reported the recent events to his father one by one.

Li Qiu said: "The news came from the palace that An Lushan recognized Concubine Yang as a godmother. The Holy Majesty also agreed."

King Qing Li Cong frowned, and said, "How could Father agree to such an absurd request?"

Li Qiu said: "Isn't it? A while ago, the noble concubine's family and An Lushan were brought together by the Holy Admiral, so that Yang Li, Yang Qi, and the three wives of South Korea, Guo State, and Qin State all became brothers and sisters with An Lushan. The second time, he recognized An Lushan as the adopted son of the noble concubine. I really don't know how to calculate this seniority.

The first two days were An Lushan's birthday.As godfather and godmother, the Holy One and the imperial concubine bestowed many gifts on An Lushan.What's more, three days later, the imperial concubine ordered someone to sew an extra-large baby swaddle with embroidered silk, and then called An Lushan into the palace, asked the maid to wrap him in the swaddle, and asked the eunuch to put him in a colorful sedan chair carry it away.It is said that this was the idea of ​​the imperial concubine, but the Holy Majesty did not know about it.

The Holy Majesty heard the play and noise in the harem and asked why.The attendant reported: "Today is the third day of the concubine's delivery. According to the custom, the concubine, as the mother, is bathing Lu'er."The noble concubine was given "child-washing money" on the spot, and An Lushan was generously given. After playing around for a long time, they broke up happily.

Since the day when the imperial concubine "washed three times" for Anlushan, Anlushan couldn't help but go in and out of the palace, or eat with the imperial concubine, or stay in the palace overnight.As the days went by, there were naturally scandals in the palace, and there were quite scandalous rumors outside.However, for some unknown reason, the Holy Majesty never doubted it. "

Li Cong sighed and said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. It's just this farce of the palace. I don't know the history books of later generations, how to write it?"

　Cut the ice cream, lightly stack it several times, and inject evenly with light rouge.New style of beautiful makeup, gorgeous and fragrant, embarrassing to kill the maid of Ruizhu.It is easy to wither, and more, ruthless wind and rain.misery.The idle courtyard is desolate, and there are several spring evenings.

　　With so much hatred for leaving, these two swallows have never been able to speak to others.The sky is far away, the earth is far away, and there are thousands of rivers and mountains. I know where the Forbidden City is.Why don't you think about it, except in your dreams, sometimes you have gone.There is no evidence, and the dream is also new.
