An Lushan pilgrimage
The group of ministers in the main hall of the Huaqing Palace was lined up in turn, and Li Longji sat in the center, facing south, smiling, looking forward to his favored courtier An Lushan. According to the etiquette system, An Lushan should perform a walking salute, that is, a small step and a quick walk. But Li Longji forgave him for his obesity and exempted him from this gift. Seeing An Lushan walking quickly, everyone in the hall was secretly frightened, lest this mountain of meat suddenly fall. An Lushan cried "Your Majesty" as he walked, and his fat flesh face was covered with snot tears.
When he got closer, An Lushan wanted to kneel down and cry, but he was too fat to kneel, so he had to lie on the ground all over and cry: "The minister can finally see His Majesty, the minister is wronged." Li Longji hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, if you have any grievances, you will decide." An Lushan propped up half of his body and kept sobbing and said, "Chenben Huren, Your Majesty has favored you here." All the ministers think about serving His Majesty, and they don't want to be jealous of the right minister Yang Guozhong, spread rumors and slander, and the ministers will die without a day! After saying that, he glanced at Yang Guozhong, and then lay on the ground and cried sadly.
Yang Guozhong listened to it on the side, and pinched the help-loving flower fragrance pill in his sleeve, which was quite embarrassed. Li Longji also did not expect An Lushan to point directly at Yang Guozhong as soon as he came, and comforted him with kind words: "And don't cry, I know that your Hu'er is loyal, and there is no doubt about him." As for the right minister, cough, he has always said that you are loyal and praised your ability, and he can't believe the rumors of the outside world. ”
Yang Guozhong looked even more embarrassed on the side, his attack on An Lushan was known to the whole dynasty, but the emperor helped him cover up so nakedly, which made him a little ashamed. Seeing Yang Guozhong next to him, Li Longji hurriedly said, "You Xiang is not coming soon, help Hu'er up." Ah, I remember that in the past, when Hu'er went to court, you helped it, which shows affection. Today, it is more intimate to be on the right. ”
Yang Guozhong got up and went over to persuade An Lushan with good words, and then held his arm to help him up, but this An Lushan was too fat, and Yang Guozhong couldn't help him up with the strength to eat. Li Longji saw it, and asked the eunuch Yu Chaoen next to him to go up to help help. Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen were on the side, struggling to hold An Lushan's two arms, but they still failed to lift him with all their strength. An Lushan was lying on the ground, and he was not crying at this time, his small eyes kept spinning, and his huge butt kept shrugging. Yang Guozhong was helpless, and said a few words with Yu Chaoen, and the two took a step back, one holding An Lushan's belt, and the other holding his ribs, trying to lift him up.
This time it was the right strength, and the two of them exerted force together from the rear, barely lifting An Lushan's fat body up. Just as Yang Guozhong lifted hard, his neck was suddenly wrapped in a lump of meat, and the tip of his nose smelled a strange smell. It turned out that An Lushan stretched out his hands and clamped the necks of Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen to his armpits, and stood up with support. Smoked by An Lushan's armpit, Yang Guozhong's mind suddenly became dim, and he felt gagging, and forcefully pressed down the vomit that had reached his throat. After An Lushan stood up, Yang Guozhong laboriously pulled his head out from under his armpit, covered his mouth with his hand, and stumbled back into place.
Yang Guozhong reluctantly suppressed the intention of vomiting, looked up, but saw An Lushan being supported by two eunuchs and sitting opposite him. Seeing An Lushan, although Yang Guozhong was extremely disgusted in his heart, he could barely squeeze out a smile. I didn't want An Lushan to snort, his eyes rolled upward, and he didn't look at him. Yang Guozhong was angry in his heart, and he couldn't attack. At this time, he heard Li Longjilang say in a loud voice: "King of Dongping County, watch over the frontier, work hard and meritoriously, be diligent, reward thousands of money, thousands of horses, and a hundred horses." Listening to Li Longji's reward to An Lushan, Yang Guozhong was jealous and hateful, and the intention of vomiting suddenly surged up, and with a wow, a mouthful of clear water spit out on the hall.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Longji added Lushan Shangshu Zuo to serve and give 1,000 households before the seal, one son and three grade officials, one son and five grade officials, ten slave houses, and one mansion. On the 24th day of the first month, he added envoys from the stables, the Yuannei, Yingtian, Wufang, and Longyou Qunmu, and the envoys of Zhidu and Yingtian. An Lushan sought an official for the sworn party Ji Wen, and Ji Wen successfully obtained the important post of Wubu Shilang.
In February of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan again said: "The generals of the subordinates have made outstanding achievements in fighting Xi, Khitan, Jiu surnamed Hu, and Tongluo, and His Majesty can break the convention and leapfrog the rank of official reward." An Lushan even asked Li Longji to write a letter of appointment, which he directly granted to his subordinates in the army, and Li Longji gave generous permission, so he appointed more than 500 generals and more than 2,000 generals.
Yang Guozhong was furious
An Lushan was rewarded one after another, favoring Yang Guozhong so that Yang Guozhong was jealous, and he ran to Huaqing Palace to find Yang Yuhuan, ready to complain and reproach the emperor for being partial. After seeing Yang Yuhuan, Yang Guozhong didn't have time to complain, his nose twitched a few times, and he was curious: "What kind of incense is used on my sister's body, so good-smelling?" Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "Ruilong Brain, His Majesty rewarded ten, yesterday Lu'er entered the palace, I rewarded him with three." Upon hearing this, Yang Guozhong suddenly burst out: "Wow." Everything good was given to that fat bastard. It's just enough to give Zahu some Rui Dragon Brain, but His Majesty has been promoted in recent days, and he also gives him the right to appoint. My right is quite precarious, and I don't know when I have to give it to this miscellaneous beard? ”
Yang Yuhuan also ignored him, sitting on the bed, playing with a puppy. This dog is six inches tall, more than a foot long, curly hair, well-behaved and intelligent, and makes people love and pity at first sight. Yang Guozhong couldn't help but glance at it a few times and asked, "Why is this dog so peculiar, how come I haven't seen it?" Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "This is a Fuling dog, listening to Lu'er, it was obtained from the extreme west, which is really cute." ”
When he heard that it was An Lushan who offered it, Yang Guozhong suddenly became angry, staring at the little dog with both eyes, and he hated to strangle it to death. This Fu Ling dog was very spiritual, and seemed to feel Yang Guozhong's hostility, and suddenly burrowed the dog's head into Yang Yuhuan's arms and shivered. Yang Yuhuan quickly hugged the dog in his arms, looked at Yang Guozhong angrily with both eyes, and reproached: "What are you doing with a dog?" You always say that Lu'er wants to rob you of the phase, I see that he doesn't have this intention at all, hmph, maybe someone else looks at the phase. ”
Hearing that there were other people who wanted to grab the phase, Yang Guozhong suddenly became nervous and saluted: "Sister, I wasn't just now, don't worry about it." When I turn back, I will ask this dog to make a splendid dress, and it is good to make amends! Yang Yuhuan removed the dog from his arms and kissed it: "It's not rare, my family's Tianwei General has his own clothes." Yang Guozhong knew that the dog's name was General Tianwei.
Yang Guozhong smiled and said, "Sister, I wasn't it just now, I shouldn't be angry with General Tianwei." Tell me, who is going to grab the phase? Yang Yuhuan watched the dog settle down, and then said, "Tai Changqing, Hanlin bachelor Zhang Yan." Yang Guozhong was very suspicious: "How can he behave?" Yang Yuhuan said, "His Majesty has been praising Zhang Yan recently, saying that he praises etiquette and grace. That day, he personally told him that he would remove Zuo Xiang, Chen Xilie, and replace him with him. "This Zhang Yan is Li Longji's son-in-law, married to Princess Ning, and is very graceful and elegant, which is very appreciated by Li Longji.
Yang Guozhong was very nervous, this left phase Chen Xilie is old, the corpse is vegetarian, it is a person who can be controlled, change Zhang Yan, but he may not be able to control it, and quickly asked: "How does Zhang Yan reply to His Majesty?" Yang Yuhuan's eyebrows flickered, and after thinking about it, he said, "He only said two words, don't dare." Yang Guozhong was furious: "He doesn't dare to do this, he really wants it." Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "You have been thinking about dealing with Lu'er all day, but you never thought that your nest was on fire." I think Zhang Yan is really good, he looks handsome and writes poetry well. A Hanlin wrote a poem saying that Zhang Gongzi in the sky is a Hanke star in the palace. ”
Seeing Yang Yuhuan's face full of foolishness, Yang Guozhong said distraughtly: "When I go to His Majesty to tell me, this Zhang Yan is a squirrel, relying on the grace of his father's generation to get an official, marry a princess, how can he be Zuo Xiang?" Is this national event a child's play? Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was still making fools there, Yang Guozhong said angrily: "Sister, look at what you look like." This Zhang Yan is not a good person. Li Taibai was not liked by His Majesty that day, it was his rumors. Yang Yuhuan was taken aback: "I don't know this, I have been wondering in the past few years, why Li Taibai was so good in Beijing that he suddenly did not like His Majesty and had to leave Beijing." ”
Yang Guozhong snorted and said, "How can such a villain be a face?" Yang Yuhuan said, "Well, don't tell Your Majesty about this, I'll talk to Your Majesty." Zhang Yan is still young, his temperament is floating, and it is not too late to be promoted after a few years of training. Yang Guozhong was overjoyed and quickly thanked Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan said, "You don't thank me either, just for Taibai." Over the years, only Taibai has written my poems the most. ”
Before leaving, Yang Guozhong asked, "Sister, is this dog male or female?" Yang Yuhuan rolled her eyes and said, "Male." Yang Guozhong said solemnly, "This is not okay. I went outside the palace to find the best master to castrate this dog. Yang Yuhuan was furious when she heard this, and the golden plate on the table in front of her happened to contain fruit, and she took one and threw it at Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong gave way sideways, shouting as he walked out: "Sister, you still have to listen to me about this, throughout the ages, even birds in this palace cannot have a male." ”
An Lushan took his leave and left Beijing
On the first day of March, An Lushan asked His Majesty to take his leave and leave Beijing today. Li Longji originally planned to use his son-in-law Zhang Yan as the left phase, but in the past few days, he listened to some pillow winds and felt that Zhang Yan was really not suitable for the phase, so he did not mention this matter, but he thought of his thoughts, and remembered the honest loyal minister An Lushan. On the same day, Li Longji first summoned the right minister Yang Guozhong and others to enter the Huaqing Palace Convenience Hall, and ordered Tai Changqing and Hanlin bachelor Zhang Yancao to edict. When he heard that Li Longjiyun "took An Lushan as the same pingzhang", Zhang Yan glanced at Yang Guozhong resentfully. In the past few days, there have been rumors in the palace, Yun Zhangyan is young and pompous, he still needs to be experienced, and there is no hope of entering the phase, and the person behind the troublemaker is naturally Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong also did not expect that just when An Lushan was about to leave Chang'an, the emperor suddenly wanted to take him as his image, and his brain was a little confused for a while. After a moment, Yang Guozhong fixed his mind and spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lushan does not know words, and his fate is his life, and he is afraid that he will insult Tang lightly. After Li Longji pondered for a moment, he sighed: "What the right minister said is very true, so don't draw up the edict." ”
After agreeing not to take An Lushan as his left phase, Li Longji received An Lushan and fed him. Looking at An Lushan's face full of humility, Li Longji couldn't help but feel guilty, untied his outer body, and personally stepped forward to put on An Lushan. An Lushan received the external edict given by Li Longji, and tears immediately flowed out, and he struggled to lie down, knocked his head on the ground, and whimpered: "Because His Majesty's Long Enchen enjoys a high position and a high rank, he weeps every day." The courtier is stupid and has no choice, but to remain lonely and loyal, to look up to Dai Longen, and to swear to serve His Majesty. The ministers tried their best to defend the external difficulties, so that His Majesty's might shake in all directions. ”
Li Longji said with a smile: "You are also so good at talking, very Svenish." You first go to Haosheng to guard the frontier, and if you get some battle merits, you can enter the dynasty again. There are some rare things everywhere, you found some to give to your aunt, so that she was happy, but she kept remembering Lu'er and said that you were good. An Lushan wiped his tears and said with a smile: "As long as there are rare, eat, drink and have fun, Lu'er remembers Ah Niangli." Lu'er didn't know when she would see each other again when she left, and she was quite reluctant to see A-Niang. ”
Li Longji said with a smile: "When you go back to Fanyang, you can come to Chang'an whenever you want." I'll turn around and ask the right to buy you a bigger mansion. How old is your eldest son, An Qingzong? Come to Beijing next year and consummate the marriage with the lord of Rongyi County, the two are relatives, and they are closer. When Yang Guozhong heard that he had asked him to help An Lushan buy a house, he suddenly felt disgusted again.
Li Longji repeatedly comforted An Lushan, and ordered Colix to give him a ride, and the two monarchs said goodbye. As soon as An Lushan left, Li Longji was quite emotional, and he was very reluctant to let An Lushan leave. Yang Guozhong watched An Lushan finally leave, and his heart was comfortable, this fat man never gave him a good face, but in front of the emperor, he had to show tolerance, and face An Lushan's contempt with a smile.
Changlepo is on the west bank of Hushui, the old name is Han, and it was renamed during the Sui Emperor Wen and has been used ever since. Colix sent An Lushan here, and the two toasted goodbye until they saw An Lushan turn over and quickly gallop away. What greatly surprised Colix was that An Lushan was strong on horseback, without the slightest fat and bloated image in front of the emperor.
After Colix returned to the Huaqing Palace, Li Longji asked, "Can Hu'er still be happy this time?" After hesitating for a moment, Colix said, "I see that he is a little unhappy, Yun has not won the position of prime minister." Li Longjiqi said: "Not to take Lushan as the face, but today it was decided, where did he get the news?" ”
Yang Guozhong said on the side: "This matter was discussed early this morning, not many people know about it, I think Zhang Yan must have leaked the news." Li Longji was furious: "This An Lushan is Hu'er, and I don't know the number of gifts." After Zhang Yan was a famous family, he had been reading poetry books for a long time, how could he talk so nonsense and leak news? Li Longji immediately ordered his son-in-law Zhang Yan to be the Sima of Luxi County. Li Longji's anger did not subside, and he said: "After that, any rebels in Lushan will be bound to Fan Yang and handed over to Lushan for disposal." Yang Guozhong was slandered on the side, but he did not dare to go against the dragon scales.
An Lushan galloped all the way to Qimen, changed to a boat and went down the Wei River, along the way the porter carried a rope board on the shore and changed every fifteen miles. Two chairs were placed on the boat, An Lushan sat on the chair, solemn, noble and other attendants stood on both sides, and the group looked at the scenery on both sides of the Wei River. Taoist Yang Songjun also sat on the chair, holding a whisk, fairy wind Dao bone, closed his eyes and nourished his mind.
Seeing that An Lushan was full of trouble, Yan Zhuang flicked his sleeves on the side, and said loudly: "The envoy has many rewards for His Majesty, why is he not happy?" But this time has not been phased? An Lushan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty treats me very kindly, and although I have not obtained the phase, I am also extremely grateful." It's just that Yang Guozhong is extremely hateful. After I left Chang'an this time, I don't know what rumors he made about me. ”
Gao Shang, who was tall, mighty in appearance, and quite a martial artist, listened to An Lushan's words, and scoffed: "Yang Guozhong and other traitors, what are you afraid of?" The envoy has thousands of strong children in his hands, and it is a big deal to raise troops into the side of the Qing Jun in Beijing. An Lushan's face suddenly turned red, and he struggled to stand up and scold Gao Noble. Yan Zhuang smiled lightly on the side and said, "The king is magnanimous and loyal to His Majesty." But that Yang Guozhong was treacherous and treacherous, and he was treacherous and ruthless, so that the king had to guard against it. ”
An Lushan's chest and abdomen continued to tremble, and after a long time, he struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "Your Majesty's kindness to me, Lushan's longitudinal powder and bones, is not enough to repay in case." Yan Zhuang Fuxu laughed and said, "Didn't I teach this to the envoy?" Jun remembered it very well. Gao Shang also laughed loudly and said, "The envoy sits on the side today, holding a strong army and a thousand generals. Yang Guozhong is so small, but he can be captured in a battle, why bind his hands and feet? ”
An Lushan was about to say something more, when Yang Songjun, who was sitting in the chair, opened his eyes and said loudly: "Avoid the obedience of the world, and take advantage of the rebellion of the world." Yang Guozhong is the rebellion of the world, so that the king is the obedience of the world, and should follow the sky. Let the prince imitate the three generations of holy kings Yu, Tang, and Wen Wu, and apply merit to the four seas and descendants of all generations. Why look ahead, worry about self-defeat, fear the head, and worry in vain? Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang nodded together and said yes, while An Lushan kept whispering in the chair: "Follow the sky, follow the sky." ”
