Chapter 59

Chapter 064
It didn't cost any price, just a few words could reverse the established trend of history, secretly arranged Yang Guozhong to plant a thorn in Anlu Mountain, Zhang Xuan felt very comfortable.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, summer has passed and autumn has come, and it has entered the end of September, the eleventh year of Tianbao.

Li Linfu died for more than a month, but so far no posthumous title and posthumous title have been agreed upon. Because of the dispute between Yang Guozhong and the original Li Linfu party headed by Chen Xilie, Li Longji was annoyed and put it on hold for the time being.With this shelving, it is possible to shelve Huang.

But after a long time, the emperor's mind actually faded.

If the emperor didn't mention it, his ministers would not dare to mention it. Although Chen Xilie and others were gnawing with hatred in their hearts, there was nothing they could do about Yang Guozhong's relentless suppression.

At this time, the envoys of the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, and An Qingxu, son of Anlushan, king of Dongping County, went to Beijing for the funeral.Anlu Mountain has a high position and authority, and is very favored. Li Linfu is the only person in the Tang court who is afraid of him.When Li Linfu died suddenly, An Lushan was overjoyed, but on the face of it, he put on an attitude of extreme grief and ordered his son An Qingxu to go to Beijing for the funeral instead.

But after An Qingxu came to Beijing, he heard the news that Li Linfu was still being held by Yang Guozhong even though he was dead, so he immediately changed his mind. Yang Guozhong paid homage to the Prime Minister's gracious congratulations.

During this period of time, although Zhang Xuan stayed behind closed doors and studied poetry at home, through Pei Hui and Cui Huan who visited the house from time to time, he actually understood and mastered the political information in Chang'an City.

Hearing that An Qingxu brought a lot of gifts to the Yang family to flatter him, Zhang Xuan didn't take it seriously at all.

It is absolutely impossible for An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, the sworn enemies in history, to form an alliance of interests.You know, the later An Lushan uprising carried the banner of righteousness of the Qing emperor to kill Yang Guozhong.

In the beginning, An Lushan and Yang Guozhong were just a battle of spirits.An Lushan looked down on Yang Guozhong's prodigal background, and Yang Guozhong was an extremely vengeful villain. After he gradually gained power, he kept playing An Lushan in front of the emperor to vent his personal anger.

Later, it rose to a power struggle.With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Anlu Mountain has become the most powerful vassal town in the world, directly threatening the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty. As the spokesperson of the imperial power, Yang Guozhong is naturally worried that An Lu Mountain will not be destroyed, and has repeatedly tried to get rid of An Lu Mountain. Longji's asylum failed repeatedly.

Zhang Xuan has always believed that Yang Guozhong's greatest "historical achievement" is that he continued to "give An Lushan little shoes" after he came to power, and he never ignored the threat of Anlushan from the beginning to the end.Some people say that it was Yang Guozhong who forced An Lushan to rebel. In fact, without Yang Guozhong's check and balance, it is impossible to say that the Anshi Rebellion would have been greatly advanced.

Of course, for the dissident An Lushan, whether there is Yang Guozhong or not, the Tang court will rebel, it is only a matter of time.The crux of the problem is that Li Longji was too fatuous in the later period, which gradually contributed to the expansion of An Lushan's ambitions.

afternoon.

Zhang Xuan, who had taken a nap for a while, lazily sat up from the bed, glanced outside the hall, and then shouted loudly, "It's like smoke like jade."

The two little lolitas rushed over, Ruyan ran ahead of Ruyu.

"My lord, the servant girl is here." Ruyu took a breath and smiled.

"My lord, this servant has prepared the lotus seed soup. When the servant waits for the young master to get up, I will use some soup and some snacks." Ruyan said softly with a smile, and before Ruyu could react, she lightly climbed onto the bed Go, stretch out your soft and bare hands to help Zhang Xuan change clothes.

Ruyu was a little too late, staring blankly at Ruyan who was so skillful in helping Zhang Xuan dress. Seeing Zhang Xuan looking at her with a smile, she also climbed onto the bed in a panic, holding Zhang Xuan's belt and fastening it. .

At this time, a man coughing suddenly came from the courtyard.

Zhang Li, a servant, respectfully reported in the courtyard, "Third son, the imperial concubine and empress have spoken in the palace, and the imperial concubine and empress invited An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, the governor of the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, and ordered the son to enter immediately. Palace banquet."

Zhang Xuan was startled, and thought: Yang Yuhuan entertaining An Qingxu?That is to say, why did she let me enter the palace?Don't you want to recite poems again?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill.Tang people's favor and obsession with poetry and poetry really made him speechless.It doesn't hurt to adjust this thing occasionally, and use it to "make a living" all day long.

"My lord, the chariot from the palace is waiting at the door." Zhang Li worried that Zhang Xuan would not pay attention, so he hurriedly added another sentence.

"I see, you go now, I'll come later." Zhang Xuan said sitting on the side of the bed, letting Ruyu put on boots for him, but conveniently tied a sachet that Ruyan had just tied around his waist Pick it up.

It is not enough for the clothes to be scented, and a sachet should be tied around the waist to show coquettishness. This is the usual attire of the princes and brothers in Chang'an City, but Zhang Xuan does not take it seriously. Nine times out of ten, he will tie Ruyan on it. The sachet was secretly removed, and it was still in the wastebasket in the corner.

……

……

Although this was the first time for Zhang Xuan to enter the palace, he sat in a carriage dispatched from the palace and walked all the way through Zhuque Street into the imperial city and arrived at Xingqing Palace. Qian Shengjing, but the lightning flashed in his mind, thinking about all kinds of things that will happen in the future.

Until the little eunuch who brought him into the palace stood under the car and yelled shrilly, "Mr. Zhang's family, Lin De Palace has arrived. Get out of the car and come in with our house to return the order to your mother."

Zhang Xuan jumped out of the car silently, but smiled and bowed his hands to the little eunuch, then handed over a small silver pancake of about one tael, and said loudly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Eunuch."

"The young gentleman of this family is really a wonderful person with knowledge and wit." The little eunuch was startled for a while, then squeezed a small silver pancake into his sleeve, and led the way with a smile on his face.

Before entering the hall, the little eunuch stopped and looked back at Zhang Xuan and said with a low smile, "Master Zhang, our surname is Zhang, and our name is Zhang Defu. Our family is a servant in front of the empress...after entering the hall, remember to be in front of the empress." Don't lose your etiquette, and act according to our family's winks, our family will not deceive Mr. Xiaolang."

Zhang Xuan smiled and cupped his hands again to thank him, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for your guidance. This is Zhang Xuan's first visit to the palace, and if there is something he doesn't know about the rules, please correct him."

"It's not too bad. Our family sees that the young man has a gentle manner and elegant temperament, and the lady has a gentle temperament. She likes talented people the most. As long as she doesn't exceed the rules, the lady will not blame her——Little man, please follow our family Enter the palace."

Zhang Xuan regained his composure, and followed the young eunuch Zhang Defu into the magnificent Linde Hall, which was specially used for Concubine Yang Guifei to entertain guests.

Between the carved beams and painted pillars, the sound of piano and singing and dancing can be heard endlessly.Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that the grand banquet in this palace had already begun.

Walking through the corner of the hall and looking in, you can see the singing, dancing and dancing of sandalwood incense in the field, and the fragrance mist is transpiring.

In addition to the "master" Yang Yuhuan, there were only two guests present at the banquet in the palace. One was An Lushan's second son, An Qingxu, and the other was the right minister of the dynasty, Minister of Rites, and great scholar of Jixian Palace, Yang Guozhong.

Yang Yuhuan is in the center, Yang Guozhong is on the left, An Qingxu is on the right, and beside Yang Yuhuan is a small desk. Zhang Xuan knows in his heart that this is for himself.
