Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 64 Big Swallow
Xijing.

Immediately after An Lushan entered Xijing, he proclaimed himself emperor, named his country Dayan, and awarded his servants and generals.

But apart from being enthroned in the Daming Palace, An Lushan did not live in the main Daming Palace, but camped outside the Daming Palace and lived in the military camp.

The empty Daming Palace is grand and magnificent during the day, but it is really dark at night. I don't know how many ghosts and bones have been buried in this panic-stricken Daming Palace.

An Lushan's mother used to be a wizard. After doing some calculations, An Lushan determined that living in the Daming Palace would hinder him, so he refused to enter the Daming Palace.

In fact, An Lushan refused to live in Daming Palace because the empty palace did not give him a sense of security.

So An Lushan demolished the houses next to the Daming Palace, and then built a gorgeous military camp on top of these houses.

The big tent that An Lushan lived in was not the kind of simple big tent for marching, but a gorgeous palace built with thousands of mink furs and tens of thousands of silk.

Outside the big tent, An Lushan's personal guards took turns to guard day and night, even An Lushan's own son, he was not allowed to enter without a pass.

Since the rise of the army, An Lushan had sores on his back, his eyes gradually became blurred, and his temper became more and more irritable.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" The big tent was full of candles, and An Lushan, who was already blind, was beating a thin civil servant with a horsewhip in his hand.

An Lushan was obese, but at this moment his hair was disheveled and his face was ferocious, screaming like a crazy beast.

The pain in his whole body was unbearable, An Lushan beat his subordinates to vent, and finally he felt more comfortable. After drinking away his subordinates, he fell into a deep sleep with his whip in his arms.

"Duke Yan!" The civil official who was covered in welts had just stepped out of the big tent when he bumped into a young general who looked like An Lushan.

An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan, fought with An Lushan in Hebei since he was a child.

"Your Highness." Yan Zhuang bowed his hands.

Yan Zhuang is An Lushan's closest civic official. He often plans government affairs by Anlushan's side, and he is also very familiar with An Qingxu.

Looking at this "Prince of Great Yan" who looked like An Lushan, Yan Zhuang didn't show much respect.

An Lushan loved his eldest son An Qingzong the most, but when he raised his troops, the eldest son was a hostage in Xijing.

Knowing that An Lushan raised troops, the angry emperor Li Longji immediately beheaded An Qingzong.

Although An Qingxu waited on An Lushan, he was always overwhelmed by his elder brother.

But when An Qingzong was around, An Qingxu didn't have any ideas.

An Qingzong has always been the heir in An Lushan's eyes. This son is also very capable, and this is his elder brother. An Qingxu has never thought of replacing his elder brother.

But An Qingzong is dead!
An Qingxu now saw an opportunity. Now that the army in Hebei occupies the two capitals, and his father has already called himself Emperor Dayan, has this great foundation come into his hands soon?
But An Qingxu's wishful thinking was very loud. After the death of his eldest son, An Lushan gave birth to another son with his concubine Duan Shi!
The superstitious An Lushan thought that this was the reincarnation of the eldest son, and he was infatuated with the concubine Duan, so it gradually spread that An Lushan wanted to have the youngest son.

And An Lushan became more and more impatient with his second son, An Qingxu, and even beat and scolded An Qingxu in public.

An Qingxu saw the wound on Yan Zhuang's body and asked:
"What did Master Yan say again to annoy Father?"

Yan Zhuang sighed and said: "I advise your majesty to go to Jianghuai to cut off the hinterland of Li Tang's money and food, but your majesty is unwilling to leave Xijing, saying that he wants to rely on the city wall of Xijing to resist the Tang army."

An Qingxu smiled and said: "Father is in poor health, so naturally he doesn't want to go to war. Why don't Master Yan advise and let the lonely king go to fight for father?"

The two were talking, but they heard the sound of whips waving again from the big tent on Anlu Mountain.

After a while, a eunuch who was beaten all over his body limped out.

An Qingxu saw that this was Li Zhuer, the eunuch close to his father.

Li Zhu'er was originally called An Zhu'er, and was bestowed by Li Longji to the little eunuch An Lushan during the Kaiyuan period.

Because of his good service, he became An Lushan's closest servant.

After An Lushan raised troops, An Zhu'er was renamed Li Zhu'er.

"How did the internal order offend the emperor?" An Qingxu and Li Zhu'er knew each other well, and asked directly.

Li Zhu'er sighed and said: "The servant girl went in to cover His Majesty with a quilt, and the heavy footsteps woke His Majesty up, so she was whipped."

The three of them glanced at each other, An Qingxu's face was covered with old wounds, and he had just been whipped a few days ago.

Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er had just been beaten.

Li Zhu'er said with a crying voice: "If this goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to live."

All three lowered their heads. After An Lushan fell ill, his temperament became more and more violent.

Last month, three of his internal servants were beaten to death by him.

An Qingxu looked at Yan Zhuang, then at Li Zhu'er, and suddenly had a terrible thought.

Yan Zhuang was An Lushan's adviser, and An Lushan was illiterate, and almost all his letters and warrants were written by Yan Zhuang.

Li Zhuer is An Lushan's personal servant, and he keeps Anlushan's seal.

After this idea popped up, An Qingxu opened the devil's box and couldn't help but continue to think about it.

Father Xinna's concubine Duan Shi, oh no noble concubine Duan Shi, father and brother are generals under father's command.

Now that his father released his intention to raise a child, the relatives of the Duan family have become a force of their own. I am afraid that if his father dies, he will be killed by the Duan family.

If you kill your father now, and let Yan Zhuang correct the edict and Li Zhuer stamp the seal, then
Thinking of this, An Qing's heart sank, he dragged Li Zhu'er into the big tent on Anlu Mountain: "Father summoned the lonely king, please ask Li Daban to accompany the lonely king in again."

Yan Zhuang was about to go back to the mansion, but he heard An Qingxu hold him back and say, "Master Yan, the lonely king has something to ask you for advice, let's go back together after seeing the father and the queen."

Yan Zhuang's heart moved, he looked at An Qingxu's face swaying under the firelight, and great fear rose in his heart.

But his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't walk no matter what.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Zhuang saw An Qingxu with blood in his robe, and Li Zhu'er walked out of the big tent with a frightened expression on his face.

Li Zhuer trembled and said: "Master Yan, Your Majesty invites you in."

Yan Zhuang closed his eyes, and he, who was familiar with history books, naturally understood what happened in the big tent just now.

Yan Zhuang opened his eyes and finally made up his mind.

He first bowed to An Qingxu: "His Royal Highness."

An Qingxu was overjoyed, and quickly helped Yan Zhuang up and said, "My lord Yan, my father said that you are the minister of my big swallow's humerus, and you should be the prime minister!"

The two looked at each other and left quickly. An Qingxu led Yan Zhuang into the big tent of Anlu Mountain.

In the first month of the second year of Zhide, An Lushan died in the big tent outside the Daming Palace.

The next day, Yan Zhuang announced the posthumous edict of Anlu Mountain, and his second son, An Qingxu, succeeded the throne of Emperor Dayan.

In the inner court of Anlu Mountain, Li Zhu'er took an edict, followed by a dozen healthy women, and killed the military tent where Concubine Duan Gui lived.

Concubine Duan Gui, who was gagged, was buried under the "legacy" of An Lushan, and An Qingxu personally put on armor and killed Concubine Duan Gui's father and brother.

Standing on the city wall of Guazhou, Li Yan felt the spring breeze blowing across his cheeks, and secretly sighed: "The wind is blowing."
