The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 242 An Lushan’s confidence!

Naturally, Bai Zhi's order did not need to be conveyed by Li Xinni. Standing under the steps outside the Divine Bird Hall, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, clearly heard the angry words of the Divine Bird.

His body couldn't help but tremble, and then he slowly walked up the steps. To his surprise, when he climbed up the steps again, the huge resistance on his body was gone.

Obviously, he was able to enter the Divine Bird Palace normally at this time.

But I saw on the side that the soldier just now had obviously heard the words of the divine bird, but he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty tidied his clothes before raising his feet and walking towards the Divine Bird Hall above.

At this time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji seemed a little timid, as if he was afraid that the divine bird in the Divine Bird Palace would scold him, but he still encouraged himself to walk into the Divine Bird Palace.

"I've seen the magical bird!"

Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, saluted respectfully.

"Tell me about the current situation in the Tang Dynasty."

"I heard from others that no one has been able to approach the Divine Bird Palace for a long time!"

And what about Datang at this time?

It seems that history is also repeating itself. Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty also favored Concubine Yang internally, and externally entrusted all government affairs to Yang Guozhong in the court.

Perhaps in the next dynasty, there will be very few moves.

"I just don't know if the temple can wake up?"

"Obviously, this time the Emperor and Princess Yong'an go to the Divine Bird Palace together, they must wake up the Divine Bird!"

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Chinese people's courage and quality of not being afraid of dangers and climbing to the top have been further tempered.

After a while, I heard the divine bird say: "No problem, continue according to your plan. As long as I am here, there will be no chaos in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Xinni did not stop too much during the return process. Li Xinni returned directly to Princess Yong'an's Mansion, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji also returned to the palace.

For example, the Anshi Rebellion that was about to happen at this time, although it was influenced by his own behavior before it, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji deliberately paid attention not to neglect the affairs of the government, it still happened in the end.

For example, in this situation, he had already made sufficient arrangements to avoid this happening, but it still happened after all.

Eventually it led to the Anshi Rebellion.

"..."

Hearing the plain voice of the divine bird, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, seemed to hear the sound of nature. Although the words of the divine bird were calm, they were like thunder in his ears.

At this time, the troubles of the vassal town had also been revealed, but one thing was better. Because of the reminder from Princess Yong'an Li Xinni, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji also woke up and stopped the loss in time.

The common people stood on both sides of the road, looking at the majestic emperor's carriage. They lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to look directly at the emperor.

At the same time, Li Xinni on the side was also adding from time to time, telling the details of Datang clearly.

He quickly responded: "I understand."

However, the appearance of Princess Yong'an behind them made them boldly raise their heads, but their eyes looking at Princess Yong'an were full of respect.

Yang Guozhong's political ability was not good either. He only knew how to fight for power and exclude dissidents, which in turn made the contradiction between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, Shi Siming and other feudal forces more acute.

While the people in Chang'an City were discussing this matter, outside the gate of Chang'an City, the Emperor and Princess Yong'an appeared again. The Emperor and Princess Yong'an returned from Lishan Mountain.

At this moment in the Divine Bird Hall, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Li Xinni looked at the silent Divine Bird and couldn't help but keep quiet and stopped talking.

If I had acted at will to prevent the sufferings suffered by the Chinese people in these 2000 years, would it have affected the entire Chinese people's mentality of facing a disaster?

Bai Zhi didn't know.

Sometimes Bai Zhi would have the idea of ​​giving up. There are certain laws in the development of history. Although the Chinese nation has experienced hardships and obstacles in these 2000 years, as the sons and daughters of China, they have the quality of perseverance, no matter what happens. All difficulties can be overcome.

After understanding the current situation, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Didn't it mean that Princess Yong'an was favored by the divine bird and could live forever?"

"Compared with the Tang Dynasty in history, the situation of the Tang Dynasty at this time is much better..."

It can also be seen from this that it is impossible to let go completely.

Of course, this is what he is thinking about. As for the specific matters then, he may even take action himself. After all, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

He has secretly begun to prepare the troops and horses to deal with a large-scale mutiny. At the same time, he has also come to the Divine Bird Temple to awaken his own divine bird so that he can provide him with help.

"I wonder if the emperor and Princess Yong'an can enter the Divine Bird Palace..."

After all, in the original history, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji gradually became satisfied with the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and indulged in the glory of the past. At the same time, he favored Concubine Yang Guifei in the harem and entrusted all government affairs to Prime Minister Yang Guozhong in the court. .

"What I didn't expect was that Princess Yong'an was also aging!"

Therefore, at certain times, Bai Zhi rarely personally helped the development of the historical dynasty. The previous empress' ascension to the throne and the Republic of Divine Birds were just his last intervention in the dynasty.

History may be repaired automatically. When no external force affects it, it will involuntarily move toward its original history and development.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was relieved when he saw that the divine bird did not reprimand him, and then quickly recounted the situation until now.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but think of this.

Seeing Tang Xuanzong Li Longji acting like this, Bai Zhi didn't bother to scold Li Longji.

In Chang'an City, the news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Yong'an left the city together to go to the Lishan Divine Bird Palace was quickly known to everyone. For a while, everyone in the city was discussing this matter.

……

After hearing what the two people said, Bai Zhi also had a rough understanding of the Tang Dynasty today. At the same time, he did not compare it with the Tang Dynasty in history.

"But even though Princess Yong'an has aged, she can still see her former beauty, unrivaled temperament and charm!"

In the next few days, the lives of ordinary people continued to be ordinary, but earth-shaking changes took place in the court.

The first thing was that Tang Xuanzong Li Longji deposed Yang Guozhong as prime minister and replaced him with another virtuous man.

At the same time, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji mobilized troops from other places to Chang'an City. The huge number caused panic among the dignitaries in the Great Wall.

After all, a large army was mobilized and placed outside Chang'an City for no reason, and it was impossible for anyone to remain unconcerned.

Even in the court, many ministers directly asked the emperor about the deployment of troops. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji bluntly said that the troops were mobilized from other places just to protect Chang'an City.

This puzzled many ministers. In the past few decades, although there were large armies stationed outside Chang'an City, the number was not large. Even as time passed, the number of armies stationed outside Chang'an City also increased. is gradually decreasing.

But at this time, the emperor did exactly the opposite. He actually transferred a large number of soldiers and horses from other places, saying that it was to protect the safety of Chang'an City. But what danger was there in Chang'an City? Outside Chang'an City, there are border towns guarding the Tang Dynasty. A large number of soldiers and horses are stationed in the border towns, led by brave and skilled generals. Even if the Tang Dynasty encounters an attack from another country, the danger will be blocked within Chang'an City. outside.

The courtiers above the court obviously couldn't understand the emperor's actions.

But some ministers have already guessed something. After all, there are smart people in the world. People who can hold important positions in the Tang Dynasty have a keen political sense.

Coupled with the actions of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji at this time, it undoubtedly confirmed their suspicions.

At the end of the court meeting, all the officials walked out of Weiyang Palace one after another. Officials gathered in twos and threes and walked out of the palace together.

At the same time, he was also talking in a low voice:

"Obviously, the emperor has also noticed the danger in the border town and has begun preparations!"

"In the past few decades, the court has allowed the border town generals to develop as they please, and in some border towns, some generals have far more troops than the court!"

"Some time ago, An Lushan, the governor of Hedong Province, had many disrespectful acts against the emperor, and was exposed to the court by local officials. From then on, it can be seen that the Tang Dynasty is full of crises!"

"But fortunately, although His Majesty has been idle in government affairs in recent years, with the return of Princess Yong'an, His Majesty is once again diligent in political affairs, and is alert to the troubles in Border Town, and has made certain responses!"

"..."

……

At this time, Bai Zhi had also arrived at Princess Youai's Mansion from the Lishan Divine Bird Palace, and he also recognized the actions of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty in the palace.

In history, when An Lushan launched the Anshi Rebellion, he did it in the name of Qingjunzi, and the target of Qingjunzi was Yang Guozhong.

But at this time, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong had been deposed by Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know if An Lushan would use this reason to launch the Anshi Rebellion.

Time passed slowly, and the court finally responded to the feudal town. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji ordered that An Lushan, the governor of Hedong Jiedu, come to Chang'an City as soon as possible to pay an audience, and he was not allowed to lead troops.

As for the reason, it was because An Lushan led the Tang Dynasty in the war and had great achievements in battle. The emperor wanted to reward An Lushan in the palace of Chang'an City.

And he announced it to the whole country in the form of an edict to show the emperor's appreciation for Anlu Mountain.

This is a conspiracy.

To a certain extent, how could An Lushan fail to see the changes in the situation in Chang'an City? Naturally, he also knew that when the emperor summoned him to Beijing this time, it would definitely be a Hongmen Banquet.

But he had to come. If he didn't come, he would be disobeying the emperor's order. If he came, he might lose his life.

"Will such a response arouse An Lushan's resistance?"

In Princess Yong'an's Mansion, Li Xinni looked at Bai Zhi doubtfully.

"It will inevitably cause resistance from An Lushan!"

Bai Zhi nodded and said with great certainty.

Hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Li Xinni looked over quickly, waiting for Bai Zhi's explanation.

"Don't take chances anymore. An Lushan is not from the Tang Dynasty. He is not of my race. His heart must be different. After accumulating strength for such a long time, he also has the foundation to resist the Tang Dynasty. He will definitely not give up. Passed!"

"It's just a matter of time!"

Bai Zhi explained.

Anlushan was originally a Turkic people. Although some Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, they still did not sincerely surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Because of his life experiences, An Lushan achieved his current status.

"As long as he raises an army to rebel, I will personally kill him, and then his army will surrender!"

Hearing the explanation of the divine bird, Li Xinni couldn't help but expressed gratitude: "The divine bird has to work hard again this time!"

……

……

The emperor's edict finally reached the hands of An Lushan. As the governor of Hedong, although he was also a general in the army, he was quite fat.

Unlike other soldiers who were strong, he was simply fat, which seemed incompatible with his status as a general.

And because he is a Turk, his appearance is slightly different from that of the Tang Dynasty people, which makes his face look ferocious.

Sitting in the tent, watching the government orders coming from Chang'an City, An Lushan's face was full of anger. Being able to become the governor of Hedong, in addition to the wealth he accumulated as a merchant in the earlier period, In addition to operation, nature also has a certain degree of wisdom.

At this moment, he received an order from the emperor. The emperor actually asked him to go to Chang'an City to accept the emperor's reward, but he was not allowed to bring a large number of troops!

"Do you really think that I, An Lushan, am stupid and can be bullied?!"

An Lushan slammed the certificate in his hand to the ground, his plump face turning red with anger.

He then looked at a civil servant on the side and asked, "Has anything unusual happened in Chang'an City recently?"

But he saw the civil servant standing next to him pondering for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Except for Princess Yong'an returning to Chang'an City a month ago, nothing else happened!"

"Huh? Princess Yong'an returned to Chang'an City?"

After hearing the news, An Lushan's face couldn't help but change. He seemed to be very concerned about the news. At the same time, he continued to ask: "What about Princess Yong'an's changes?"

"Princess Yong'an...is getting old!"

The civil servant said: "There are rumors among the people that the divine bird has not appeared in the Tang Dynasty for more than twenty years. They all say that the divine bird has abandoned the Tang Dynasty, so Princess Yong'an is no longer eternally young!"

"The divine bird abandoned Princess Yong'an?"

The official continued: "A few days before Princess Yong'an returned to Chang'an City, Princess Yong'an and the emperor personally went to the Lishan Divine Bird Palace, but returned without success!"

After hearing the official's words, the nervousness on An Lushan's face finally disappeared, and then a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Since the Tang Dynasty no longer has the favor of the divine bird, I wonder where the emperor got the courage to let me go to Chang'an City to accept his reward?!"

"The reason why the Tang Dynasty is so famous is all due to the power of the divine bird. At this time, the divine bird has left, so the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than a paper tiger..."

In An Lushan's view, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was so powerful was because of the divine bird. At this moment, judging from the news received from Chang'an City, it is certain that the divine bird will not appear.

After all, the eternally youthful Princess Yongan has also aged.

As for whether the divine bird will return?

It’s because of the disappearance of the divine bird!

How did the former Han Dynasty perish?

This is An Lushan’s confidence!
