Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 238 The Anshi Rebellion Begins ([-])
"Your Majesty, An Lushan is simply pretending to be sick, supporting his troops with self-respect. He feels that it is dangerous to come to Chang'an City. He is afraid that His Majesty will take the opportunity to seize his military power. He is already ambitious. If this continues, one day he will turn against him, so we can't If you continue to indulge him, you must make a decision!" Ge Shuhan is absolutely loyal to Datang, he has a more irritable and direct temper, his voice is very loud, he speaks very blatantly, without beating around the bush at all, he directly expressed his peace in front of Tang Xuanzong. Lushan's ambition.

"Your Majesty, you should immediately issue an order to capture An Lushan. If you can't, at least take precautions in advance!" Ge Shuhan said in a very serious voice.

Ge Shuhan is not a fool either, he clearly knows that An Lushan has 20 soldiers in his hands, if An Lushan is really ambitious, the possibility of capturing Anlushan with an imperial decree is very low.However, if An Lushan has ambitions, he will rebel sooner or later, so it is very necessary to take precautions in advance.

After all, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was once a wise emperor and knew what Ge Shuhan meant.

Although Ge Shuhan is not other ministers, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Ge Shuhan the king of Xiping County not long ago, he valued Ge Shuhan very much, and would not directly cut them off like the previous ministers who also said that An Lushan had ambitions Official positions, put them in prison to treat Goshuhan.

However, Tang Xuanzong also had the feeling of being slapped in the face by Ge Shuhan so clearly, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Lushan is as loyal to the Tang Dynasty as Qing, and will not have any ambitions. I firmly believe in Lushan!" Tang Xuanzong said firmly.

"Your Majesty, An Lushan is not loyal at all. He has 20 soldiers in his hands, and his power is huge. His ambition is already obvious if he cannot be summoned repeatedly. Once he really raises the flag to rebel, if the court does not take precautions in advance, the consequences will be disastrous. !" Ge Shuhan saw that Tang Xuanzong still believed in An Lushan so much, he felt very anxious, and loudly persuaded Tang Xuanzong to believe that An Lushan would rebel.

"You don't need to say more, I said that I believe in Lushan, so you can go down first!" Tang Xuanzong's face darkened, and he waved his hand to let Ge Shuhan go down first.

Ge Shuhan was helpless, he thought it would be better for Tang Xuanzong to think about it first, so he didn't continue to force himself, and retreated.

Seeing Ge Shuhan retreat, Tang Xuanzong showed his forbearance on his face, his face was a little distorted, but it was not because of Ge Shuhan, but An Lushan!
After all, he was once a wise emperor. Although Tang Xuanzong became more and more confused as he got older, it does not mean that he has no brains. He has reached this point. How could he not doubt An Lushan's ambitions, how could he still firmly believe that Anlushan is absolutely loyal? of.

However, An Lushan was cultivated by him alone, and his power is too great now.

The reason why he seems to be convinced that An Lushan must have no ambitions and will not rebel.

Except because An Lushan is his adopted son, An Lushan's betrayal of him is like hitting him in the face in front of the world, which will make him unable to step down.It is also because An Lushan's power is already too great, and once it rebels, it will cause tragic consequences and cause chaos in the world.He didn't know what to do, and he didn't want to see such a scene from the bottom of his heart.He wanted to capture An Lushan and guard against An Lushan, but he was afraid that An Lushan had no ambitions in the first place. Under a misunderstanding, he really developed ambitions.

He couldn't make up his mind and didn't know how to deal with it. The only thing he hoped for was that An Lushan didn't have the slightest ambition, so all his worries would not come true.

Tang Xuanzong had luck in his heart. He was unwilling to doubt An Lushan, and he was unwilling to cause "misunderstanding" to force An Lushan to rebel. It caused Tang Xuanzong's indecision at the moment as if he was deceiving himself.

-----
Tang Xuanzong couldn't make up his mind, so he lied to himself and muddled along.

After returning to his home, the more Ge Shuhan thought about it, the more he felt that the matter of An Lushan was urgent.

"Your Majesty is obviously hesitant. He doesn't want to believe that An Lushan has ambitions. How should he convince His Majesty!" Ge Shuhan was very troubled.

In the end, Ge Shuhan thought of Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Feng Changqing, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu who was called to Beijing with him. He felt that if the prime ministers Yang Guozhong and Feng Changqing could be with him, they would definitely be able to convince Tang Xuanzong Believe in An Lushan's ambition.

Ge Shuhan immediately went to visit Yang Guozhong first.

The results made Ge Shuhan very disappointed. Yang Guozhong did not agree with Ge Shuhan to persuade Tang Xuanzong to believe in An Lushan's ambition.

In Yang Guozhong's heart, he still wanted to use An Lushan to deal with Li Fei, so he would not turn against An Lushan so clearly.If An Lushan wants to rebel, then wait until An Lushan really rebels, and then it will be nothing more than extermination.

After all, with An Lushan's current power, he doesn't think that convincing Tang Xuanzong to believe in An Lushan's ambition can change anything.

Unable to get the result he wanted from Yang Guozhong, Ge Shuhan was disappointed and went to visit Feng Changqing again.

Contrary to Yang Guozhong's attitude, Feng Changqing was shocked when he heard what Ge Shuhan said. He also analyzed it himself and realized the seriousness of the matter. Together Shu Han exposed An Lushan's ambitions.

In the next few days, Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing wrote to Tang Xuanzong twice, trying to persuade Tang Xuanzong that even if he didn't make an order to capture Anlu Mountain, he must take precautions against Anlu Mountain.

They analyzed from various aspects, and explained that if there was no precaution, An Lushan suddenly rebelled, the front line would be unable to resist, An Lushan drove straight into Chang'an City, and other serious consequences.

Under Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing, the two important generals of the Tang Dynasty, who persuaded them twice and three times, and imagined the possible serious consequences, even Tang Xuanzong felt terrified and felt that there was no need to delay.

Tang Xuanzong finally began to waver, and he no longer muddled through, but also wanted to take some precautions.

It was obvious that Tang Xuanzong was beginning to waver, Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing were very happy, and they were going to work harder to convince Tang Xuanzong thoroughly.

However, at this moment, as in history, a joke scene happened.

When Ge Shuhan was taking a bath at home, he suddenly suffered a stroke and fell into a coma. He didn't wake up until he was in a coma for a long time.

Without Ge Shuhan, only Feng Changqing was left to persuade Tang Xuanzong, and the weight was reduced too much at once.

Tang Xuanzong, who had already started to waver, did not know why, but became firm again, and continued to lie to himself stubbornly, firmly believing that An Lushan had no ambitions and would not betray Datang, let alone his adoptive father.

It seems that Ge Shuhan's sudden stroke and serious illness made him feel that Ge Shuhan, who had the same military exploits and was named the king of Xiping County, could suddenly become seriously ill. Why would An Lushan, who is the king of Dongping County, not get sick? Maybe An Lushan It's true that he is also seriously ill, and it's not that he didn't come to Chang'an City to meet him on purpose.

Tang Xuanzong suddenly had a stubborn reason to continue to lie to himself, and insisted on refusing to believe that An Lushan had ambitions and would rebel.

This made Feng Changqing very disappointed, but Feng Changqing had no choice.

on the other hand.

Although Tang Xuanzong wavered just now, he became firm again because of Ge Shuhan's serious stroke. However, his previous wavering was also seen by "people with a heart".And this caring person is An Qingzong, the eldest son of An Lushan, who came to Beijing by order and just married Princess Rongyi.
