Regardless of whether they are heroes or heroes, they actually all have a human side deep inside their hearts. However, this humanity does not have as great an impact on them as it does on ordinary people.
When the Right Prime Minister Yanzhuang followed Li Zhuer to the outside of the imperial study, An Lushan had already got rid of the pain of missing his son and was sitting behind the desk, like a dog that had regained its energy and was about to choose an enemy and pounce on it.
of lion.
Seeing the scene in the study from a distance, Yan Zhuang felt a sudden shock in his heart. He quickly turned around and lowered his voice to ask Li Zhuer: "Master Li, your majesty, how is your majesty feeling today?!"
"It's okay!" Li Zhuer usually received bribes from Yan Zhuang. After thinking about it, he responded with a voice like a gnat, "I only kicked my feet twice and didn't use military law. I guess his anger has subsided by now."
Yes. You should be careful when you go in, and try to say things that will make His Majesty happy."
"Then I know it in my heart. Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me!" Yan Zhuang thanked the other party, stepped forward, and slowly walked towards the door of the imperial study room.
His Majesty the Emperor has been a bit moody recently, and everyone knows this. Therefore, no one wants this rare honor to fall on him. Even if he is the right minister who is ranked lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people,
Even if you say something wrong in public, your majesty will not go too far for the sake of saving face for your ministers. If you are in the imperial study room and there are no outsiders around,
Sometimes, it was not the case. When the content of the performance was slightly unsatisfactory, punches and kicks were commonplace. A while ago, the official minister Gaoshang was kicked to the ground by the emperor because he used a few wrong words in his speech.
After returning home, it took half a month to recuperate before I could stand up again.
Two young eunuchs stood at the door of the royal study. When they saw the right minister passing by, they quickly stepped aside and opened the bead curtain with a fly whisk in their hands: "Your Majesty asked you to go in directly without informing me!"
Hearing this, Yan Zhuang was even more upset. He straightened his robes, crept through the door, walked to the imperial desk, leaned down, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, Yan Zhuang, kowtow to you and wish you the best."
May the dragon be healthy and unite the country as soon as possible!"
"No courtesy! Zhu'er, bring a seat for the right minister! Pour some tea!" An Lushan raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, "Thank you for your hard work, right minister. It's so late at night, you shouldn't disturb your right minister."
Rest, it’s just that I’m not sure about some things, so I need to consult with you in time!”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" It had been a long time since he had been treated with such respect. Yan Zhuang's tense mood suddenly broke like a bowstring. While bowing and thanking him, he said hurriedly: "I share your Majesty's worries with you.
It's my fault. How dare you just, just, just that... just because it's getting late..."
The more nervous he became, the more awkward his mouth became. In the end, he actually forgot what he wanted to say and stuttered, and his words did not match the words at the beginning.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has no interest in beating people today. He waved his hand and added impatiently: "Don't you dare? Just pretend that you are still in Fan Yang's army. At that time, how can we, the monarch and his ministers, care about these things?
What a silly thing?! To be honest, if you and Lao Gao hadn't been there to help me, I would never be here today. So if I ask you to sit down, just sit down and stay away from my mother-in-law and mother-in-law!"
A few words that were half true and half false made Yan Zhuang so moved that his eyes turned red. He sat down with his buttocks hunched over and choked with sobs: "If, if it weren't for Your Majesty, Your Majesty would not despise the stupidity of the humble ministers, so he would promote them to his side.
I, I am afraid that I am still squatting in the inn of Chang'an City, waiting for those bastards in the official department to discern the wisdom! Therefore, I only wish that I don't have two bodies to repay Your Majesty, and I will never dare to calculate when it will be sooner or later!"
"What are you talking about? With your ability, even if you don't have me, getting the top prize in the exam is just like playing!" An Lushan glanced at him and shook his head with a smile. "Forget it, we monarchs and ministers will not say such meaningless words. I will not say anything tonight.
I have something important to discuss with you. You know the news about Sun Xiaozhe’s defeat at the hands of the Tang army. Tell me how I should deal with him!"
"I, I, I am a civil servant. No, I don't know much about martial arts!" Although he was greeted by Li Zhuer on the way, Yan Zhuang still didn't expect An Lushan to ask such a direct question. He was stunned and reminded cautiously.
: "If Your Majesty asks about strategic adjustments, you should summon Ge Shuhan or Ashina Chengqing. After all, they know more than I do!"
"Them?" An Lushan curled his lips with disdain. "One is Cui Qianyou's defeated general, and the other is a reckless man who only knows how to lead the charge. What good ideas can the two of them give me?! Let you
Just say what you say, after all, you are my right-hand prime minister, don't rely on others to take the lead in everything!"
These words made Yan Zhuang feel good in his heart. Suddenly, he seemed to be back before the army was launched, when the mastermind obeyed his words. He sat upright and said loudly: "In this case, in this way, I boldly ask your Majesty to summon another person.
Listen to his words, Your Majesty can also know yourself and your enemy!"
"Which one?" An Lushan frowned, slightly impatient. He trusted Yan Zhuang because the other person was his right-hand man. But Yan Zhuang wanted to share this honor with another person at the critical moment. In fact,
I don’t know whether it’s warm or cold anymore!
"It's Yu Wenzhi, courtesy name Zida. He used to be the deputy governor of the Dawan Governor's Palace in the Anxi Army. I recommended him to your majesty some time ago." Yan Zhuang was completely unaware of the change in the mood of the plotter.
Respond according to your own thinking.
"That Yu Wenzhi who abandoned the Anxi Army and came to join you? He's just a villain who is just like his brother Yu Wenzhi! He's gone, I don't want to see him." An Lushan heard this.
Surname felt upset and waved his hand, flatly rejecting it.
"He came to seek refuge with Your Majesty, not because he has lost confidence in the way out of the Anxi Army. I heard that the interviewer named Wang from the Anxi Army was squeezed out by Bian Lingcheng and only led 600 people out of Congling westward.
, Yu Wenzhi is also one of the followers."
Yan Zhuang knew the reason why An Lushan hated Yu Wenzhi. In fact, Yu Wenzhi was not the only one. The other civil and military officials of the old Tang Dynasty who had defected to the Yan Kingdom, including General Ge Shu Han and Left Prime Minister Chen Xilie, were not having a good time nowadays.
.Although the positions in the new court are very high, they actually have no power, and what they say will not be taken seriously!
In the past, the more prestigious an old official of the Tang Dynasty was, the less An Lushan dared to reuse him. Because it was hard for him to imagine that a person with a history of "treachery" would be loyal to the new imperial court. Although he himself also betrayed the Tang Dynasty.
Tang. But in Yan Zhuang's eyes, Yu Wenzhi should be an exception. To a certain extent, Yan Zhuang not only did not hate this man's betrayal of the Tang Dynasty and the Anxi Army, but he also had a faint appreciation deep in his heart.
"Oh?" After listening to Yan Zhuang's explanation, An Lushan's face showed a bit of amusement, "According to what you said, he has something else to hide! Could it be that he took refuge in me not because he saw the Tang Dynasty?
The sun is declining and he wants to seek long-term wealth from me? Then what is his purpose? Could it be that he wants to avenge Feng Xiaozi?!"
"Your Majesty knows everything!" Yan Zhuang flattered without leaving any trace, "When Wang Xun went to the Western Regions as an envoy, it seemed that he was destined to die. General Yu Wenzhi followed him risklessly. Although the situation of the Anxi Army is now poor
At worst, he could have run back to the Western Regions, and the situation would never be worse than before, but he left resolutely just to avenge Feng Xiaozi. I once asked others that he heard about Feng Changqing on the way
It was only after the news that he was killed that he broke up with Wang Xun, and before that, he had been the latter's right-hand man!"
"Oh! That's a happy enmity!" An Lushan nodded, thoughtfully. "What position does he hold in the Anxi Army? How much does he know about the situation in the Dawan Governor's Mansion?"
"This son was once the deputy governor of the Dawan Governor's Mansion. He is the second person in the army besides Wang Xun!" Yan Zhuang saw that his goal was about to be achieved, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
The Yuwen family can be considered one of the old families that followed Li Tang in founding the country. Although it is not as good as before, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Especially in terms of wealth and connections, it far surpasses Yan Zhuang, the prime minister of the dynasty. If
If he can gain the support of the entire Yuwen family by recommending Yu Wenzhi, his position as prime minister will become more and more stable in the future, and he will become more and more comfortable in handling certain things that require money.
These are all secret transactions, and it is not convenient to announce them openly. Fortunately, the Emperor of Dayan Kingdom is magnanimous and will not delve into the private affairs of his ministers. Listening to Yan Zhuang praising Yu Wenzhi as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth,
After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "If it is true as you said, I would like to meet him? Where is he now? Did you bring him into the palace?!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!" Yan Zhuang stood up quickly, bowed, and explained with a smile: "Wei Chen happened to be short of someone who was proficient in military affairs. Not long ago, he saw that His Majesty did not intend to use him, so he took him as a personal bodyguard.
Commander. At this moment, he is waiting outside the palace gate to protect the ministers and go home, but he has never entered the palace!"
"Just come in. It's not like I haven't told you that you can bring your personal guards directly into the palace!" An Lushan smiled and waved his hand magnanimously. "Zhu'er, send someone to find Yu Wenzhi. No,
It’s Xuan Yuwen who comes to the palace to see me. These bullshit rules are really troublesome for his grandmother!”
"No!" Li Zhu'er, the general of the right prison gate, offered his lower body and went out to summon Yu Wen to arrive.
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, seeing goodwill in each other's eyes. After taking the teacup that the young eunuch had given him in time and drinking some water, Yan Zhuang lowered his voice and said, "Eunuch Li is the person closest to your majesty.
, if he makes any mistake, your majesty can just leave it to you to deal with it. And don't punch or kick him at every turn. If he does something wrong, it will not be conducive to your majesty's safety in the long run!"
"He dares..." An Lushan raised his eyes and his voice was as shrill as a howl. He just roared. He instantly realized that he had lost his temper. He shrugged and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me.
I know, my temper has not been very good recently. But I have watched Zhuer grow up since he was a child, so he shouldn’t be resentful towards me just because he received a few blows.”
"Despite this, Your Majesty should be more careful!" Yan Zhuang finally got a chance to talk to the other party calmly, but he was not willing to give up easily. He seized on An Lushan's words and continued to persuade him.
"I know, I just have to be careful! I also beat you some time ago, don't take it to heart. It was all caused by that old man Li Longji. I originally expected to catch him and cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts.
Qingzong took revenge. Who would have thought that he would be so shameless, abandoning the civil and military officials and the city of Chang'an, and run away! I can't vent my pent-up resentment, not to mention how uncomfortable I feel in my heart.
You also know that among my eleven sons, only Qingzong is the one that suits me best..." As he spoke, his eye circles became red again, he lifted up the sleeves of his dragon robe and gently
