Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 239 The Anshi Rebellion Begins ([-])
Ever since he came to Chang'an City, An Qingzong hadn't had a good night's sleep.

It seems that he married the princess of the clan and became a member of the royal family. In addition to his original status, he is really extremely honorable and envied by countless people.

But as the eldest son of An Lushan, how could An Qingzong not know his father An Lushan's ambitions.Father An Lushan wanted to rebel and become emperor, but whether he wanted to or not, he couldn't stop his father An Lushan.

Although he is the eldest son of his father, his father has never liked him very much. He obviously has the idea of ​​rebellion. His Majesty has repeatedly summoned him but he can't evade it. However, His Majesty gave him a marriage with Princess Rongyi and asked him to come to Chang'an City to get married. His father let him come without even thinking about it, and let him send news to Youzhou whenever he had the chance, without thinking about his safety at all.

He was very worried that he would never be able to leave Chang'an City again!
Although he was very disturbed, An Qingzong did not dare to disobey An Lushan's order, and continued to spread the news to Youzhou.Among them, Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing teamed up to tell Tang Xuanzong that he had ambitions in Anlu Mountain, and Tang Xuanzong was a little shaken and wanted to start taking precautions.

After sending out the news, An Qingzong tentatively wrote another memorial and presented it to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, proposing that he would take his wife Princess Rongyi back to Youzhou.

The result was that Tang Xuanzong sent people to comfort him with nice words, but the meaning was obvious, that is, no!
An Qingzong was very disappointed, unable to return to Youzhou, so he had no choice but to continue living in Chang'an City.

During this time, Yang Guozhong watched Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing team up to deal with An Lushan, and he neither helped nor stopped him.

It is said that Yang Guozhong was not interested in Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing. Although he had a good relationship with Ge Shuhan during Li Linfu's time, he hoped to win Ge Shuhan to deal with Li Linfu. Now Li Linfu has already collapsed. He became the prime minister, and he hoped that Geshuhan would obey him, but with Geshuhan's temperament and status, that was impossible.

Yang Guozhong also hoped that Feng Changqing would listen to him, but Feng Changqing was also very stubborn, not only did not listen to him, but also became his obstacle repeatedly after returning from the Western Regions.

Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing didn't like it, so Yang Guozhong watched Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing team up to deal with An Lushan, just like watching two tigers fight, and he wanted to be the fisherman behind it.

Ge Shuhan suddenly had a stroke and became seriously ill, Feng Changqing was unable to support himself alone, Tang Xuanzong's heart that had just been shaken became stubborn again, Yang Guozhong also saw it all in his eyes, he knew that Feng Changqing and Ge Shuhan might not be able to bring down Anlu Mountain for the time being up.

After all, Yang Guozhong was just a politician, and his vision was only on bringing down Wang Yu and Li Linfu at the beginning. He never imagined that a general like An Lushan with 20 elite troops in his hand, once he rebelled, would How terrible the consequences are, when he knows, it will be too late to regret.

The time has entered September.

Originally, at this time, the people were already preparing to welcome the autumn harvest, because it was the day when they finally waited for the harvest after a year of hard work.

However, this year, the people on both sides of the Yellow River in Guanzhong did not see any joy on their faces.

In the 14 years since Tianbao entered Tianbao, Guanzhong and the banks of the Yellow River have not stopped for a generation.

First, there were continuous floods in May and June, and in July, there was a major change and drought broke out.

Affected by the two major disasters, there was very little grain to be harvested in Guanzhong and along the banks of the Yellow River, and the people suffered unspeakably.

If it was the Kaiyuan period, when the politics were clear and the food warehouses piled up like mountains, no matter how big the disaster was, at least no one would die of starvation.But after entering the year of Tianbao, especially after Yang Guozhong became prime minister on the spot, the imperial court decayed from top to bottom.The emperor had a leisurely time in the palace, the prime minister reported good news but not bad news, and the warehouse was emptied a few years ago. The court did not respond to the disaster, and did not take any action to relieve the disaster. The hearts of the people were cold!

Just like the old man at the edge of the field in Jiannan Road, many people stood by the edge of their barren fields, looking in a daze, and they couldn't help but began to think.

How prosperous was the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan period? Why is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty still the same emperor today, but the former prosperity is far away?What is the problem?Why can't the good prosperity be maintained for a few years, and it degenerates day by day?

The common people are the most intuitive, and they know best whether the prosperity is the real prosperity or the superficial prosperity.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, they only see the surface, and still think that the Great Tang Dynasty is still the Great Tang Dynasty, such as Yang Guozhong and other politicians like Yang Guozhong and other civil and military officials in the court.But in the eyes of ordinary people at the bottom, they already clearly feel that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is far away, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is no longer the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Anton Dufu Mansion, Liaoyang City.

After a period of construction, the size of Liaoyang City has more than doubled compared to before, and water from the Liao River was also introduced to form a moat!
Today's Liaoyang City has become a real strong city!

Around the city of Liaoyang, groups of captives from the Bohai Kingdom widened roads and built bridges under the supervision of soldiers from the Anton Army.

At the beginning, Li Fei asked the imperial court to deal with these captives, but because Li Fei revealed the reason for the Bohai Kingdom's rebellion, which caused a huge shock, and the Bohai Crown Prince would go to Chang'an City as a hostage, so Tang Xuanzong had no idea how to deal with the Bohai Kingdom prisoners. Only let Anton's Protectorate take care of it first.

Li Fei had no choice but to order the soldiers of the Anton army to divide the captives of the Bohai Kingdom into teams and arrange them to build roads and bridges around a hundred miles around Liaoyang City.

Although Li Fei didn't treat these Bohai captives too harshly, he was given three meals a day, and the rest time was reasonable, but more than 6000 young and strong captives worked for several months, and they also expanded and repaired the area around Liaoyang City. The road has been repaired and many bridges have been paved.

Now, Li Fei finally waited for the court's solution.

It turned out that he was asked to release all the captives of Bohai State to Bohai State.

Li Fei was so angry that he wanted to throw his glass when he learned of the imperial court's handling method.Although the Bohai Kingdom was conquered by him and became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion was imminent. At this time, releasing more than 6000 prisoners of the Bohai Kingdom back to the Bohai Kingdom was no different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain. He was always behind the Anton Governor's Mansion. threaten

Anger is anger, and Li Fei will not defy the imperial court's order.

In fact, thinking about it, he also guessed the reason for the court's handling. It's really no wonder the court, it was Li Fei himself.

At the beginning, Li Fei was only thinking of making trouble for Yang Guozhong, so he directly brought to the court the fact that Bohai State's rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty was a conspiracy deliberately designed by someone, which caused a huge shock.

The Prince of Bohai went to Chang'an City as a hostage, took the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom who had come to Chang'an City to worship, and told Tang Xuanzong the whole story, proving that the Bohai Kingdom was framed when it raised troops.

The soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom were framed and "wronged". Coupled with the intercession of the Crown Prince of Bohai, Tang Xuanzong might not be able to refuse, and it became a matter of course to release more than 6000 prisoners of the defeated Bohai Kingdom.

Li Fei endured a toothache, and helplessly released more than 6000 prisoners of Bohai State to Bohai State. In any case, he does not have the energy to take care of so many prisoners of Bohai State now, and returning them to Bohai State may make Bohai State short-term. However, the last battle left a deep enough impression on the Bohai Kingdom. Even if the Bohai Kingdom can recover its vitality in a short period of time, it should not dare to provoke the Anton Protectorate again.
