Chapter 262 The An Lushan
When Yang Guozhong learned that the bodies of two officials and their young family were taken back to Chang'an City, he suddenly relaxed his heart and the original coldness on his face also changed into a smile.
When the two officials died, no one knew that the matter was instructed by him. His crisis was resolved!
"Li Fei, do you think your counterattack can hurt the true nature? The true nature's means are beyond your imagination. We will have a long way to go. If you do not believe it, you can escape the next time. If you can endure it for ten years, you will also have a way to make you die without a place to bury yourself!"
Immediately, Yang Guozhong entered the palace and reported to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang that the two officials "fled for fear of crime" and that all the family members died tragically in the wild.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something big is wrong!" Yang Guozhong ran in with a look of "shocking", as if something really happened.
"What's going on?" asked Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
"Your Majesty, when I went out of the palace and was about to arrest me, the two officials of the Ministry of Rites had already fled with the family of old and young. When the people sent by me caught up with them, the two officials and young were killed, and no one survived!" Yang Guozhong said with a look of shock. Those who didn't know thought Yang Guozhong was really shocked at this time.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang stood up after hearing this, his face turned gloomy and changed many times!
"According to such a coincidence, I just asked you to arrest people, and they escaped fearing the crime? So, the conspiracy that Li Fei guessed is true! The Bohai Kingdom launched a war against the Tang Dynasty this time, which was actually someone's conspiracy! Humph, I really don't know what the purpose behind this master is trying to achieve!" As an emperor, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was suspicious. He was a person who had been a saint king. Although he was old, his thinking was still relatively quick. He instantly thought of the horror hidden behind the matter!
"Who is it and what kind of thing he can get from it?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang kept thinking about it.
"This person must have great power in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would be impossible to point out two officials of the Ministry of Rites. In order to disrupt the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty? No! In order to——, it is unlikely! In order to frame Li Fei? Well?———”
As Emperor Xuanzong of Tang became deeper and deeper, Yang Guozhong's heart also jumped wildly. The uneasiness that had just calmed down became worse. He felt that if he continued to associate this way, His Majesty might think of him again. Because he, the prime minister, is a person with great power in the Tang Dynasty! If His Majesty sees that he and Li Fei are not in the way, then—-
Yang Guozhong obviously thought too much, but the so-called "Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Yang Guozhong did bad things and thoughts were inevitable!
No, you can no longer let Your Majesty guess randomly. You must guide Your Majesty not to guess on your true nature. Then you can only find another person who "meets" Your Majesty's guess to take the blame.
Yang Guozhong was also a quick-thinking person. He quickly thought of someone who met the "conditions", that is An Lushan.
"Your Majesty, is it someone who not only framed Li Fei, but also wanted to take the opportunity to "get" the Anton Protectorate? Hearing that Li Fei had said in front of His Majesty that the Prince of Dongping wanted to rebel, the Prince of Dongping knew about it afterwards. In this incident, many officials in the court encouraged the army under the command of the Prince of Dongping to enter the Anton Protectorate, and took charge of the Anton Protectorate to fight against the Bohai Army—--" Although Yang Guozhong was slandering An Lushan, half of his words were true to An Lushan's thoughts.
Generally speaking, 30% of the words are true, and those who listen to them may think that everything is true. 70% or 80% of Yang Guozhong's words are true. An Lushan and Li Fei have a grudge, and he really has the plan to seize the Anton Protectorate's Mansion. This is simply the perfect person to take the blame. Yang Guozhong thinks that it is perfect to have An Lushan take the blame!
With such speculation, even Yang Guozhong thought about it, the more he felt that the whole thing was An Lushan's conspiracy, let alone Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
"Are you saying that Lushan wants to seek Andong Protectorate?" Sure enough, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was shocked, and his face changed unpredictably.
"No, it cannot be Lushan! This matter cannot have anything to do with Lushan!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said firmly, and he refused to believe that it was An Lushan's conspiracy no matter what.
Not only because of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang’s trust in An Lushan for more than ten years, he only recognized An Lushan as his adopted son last year, and suspected that An Lushan was just slapped him in the face, but also because of the military power in An Lushan. He trusted An Lushan too much and valued An Lushan too much. Now An Lushan has 200,000 heavy troops in his hands. Once things are really An Lushan’s conspiracy, behind it—-
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt chilling just thinking about it, and at this moment he felt deeply powerless!
How about being unable to take An Lushan!
In this case, how could you believe it was An Lushan, and how could you believe it was An Lushan?
"Don't talk about this anymore. No matter what, it's impossible to be Lushan!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said firmly.
Yang Guozhong didn't say much, but at this time he felt relieved. He knew that with An Lushan being on his way, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang could no longer continue to guess at him. After all, the possibility of thinking about An Lushan is far greater than that of Yang Guozhong.
After leaving the palace, Yang Guozhong showed a sneer.
It’s true that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was unwilling to believe that An Lushan had the idea of rebellion, but as the prime minister, Yang Guozhong could not know nothing. An Lushan’s every move showed his ambition. In short, An Lushan could not look as innocent and loyal as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang wanted.
However, Yang Guozhong was not worried. The Tang Dynasty was prosperous in the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and also in the eyes of Yang Guozhong. He felt that it would be fine if An Lushan did not rebel. If he really wanted to rebel, there was no possibility of success. He happened to take the opportunity to kill An Lushan.
Yang Guozhong was just a gangster politician, and he saw more of the prosperity of Chang'an City. He had no idea that a general with elite troops could rebel. It was not something that a gangster politician like him could understand.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was unwilling to believe that An Lushan had ambitions. Not only did he not want to believe, but he was also afraid of believing!
However, once doubt is planted, it will not be so easy to eliminate.
That night, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
"Sanlang, are you okay?" Yang Guifei also woke up and looked at Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and asked softly.
"It's okay, Yuhuan, you go to bed first, I'll go out for some breath." It was already mid-July and the night was not cold. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang walked out in his thin middle clothes. Looking at the stars in the sky of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't say a word for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking at this time.
About half an hour later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sighed and showed a hint of regret on his face.
