As the winter passed, the luxurious hot spring pool built by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for An Lushan in Huaqing Palace was unable to wait for An Lushan.

Because he failed to wait for An Lushan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang seemed much silent than before.

Few people who can make trouble in the court are fools. Many officials have seen something wrong with An Lushan.

An Lushan must have ambitions! Otherwise, no general with heavy troops would come to the emperor repeatedly summoned him. The so-called illness is a good excuse, but it is definitely not a reason to refuse to come to Chang'an City to see the emperor many times.

If you are really loyal, even if you die of illness on the way, there is no reason not to come.

Besides, An Lushan has been 'sick' for more than half a year. If the 'sickness' has been so serious and has not improved. After so long, he would have died of illness.

But An Lushan is still fine, but he just doesn’t come to Chang'an City to meet the emperor, and his ambitions are clear!

Some officials thought the time was coming, so they directly reported to An Lushan's ambition in the morning court, saying that An Lushan wanted to rebel, and should immediately issue an order to investigate and remove his military power, and send three other generals to the governors of Hedong, Fanyang and Pinglu.

However, their flattery hit the horse's legs, and the result was exactly the opposite of what they thought. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not appreciate it at all, but instead felt a sense of shame of being slapped in the face on the spot.

"Lushan is loyal to the Tang Dynasty. How can he have any ambitions? I see that you have ambitions. If you don't see Lushan's goodness, you will frame Lushan!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was furious and pointed at several officials who stood up and said that An Lushan had ambitions to rebel and severely rebuked him.

"Come, dismiss these people from their posts and detain them!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang not only did not believe that these officials punished An Lushan, but instead directly dismissed several officials on the charge of false accusation and detained them.

The moment the guards rushed in were dragged out, several officials were stunned. They never expected that this would be the result, otherwise they would never stand up and accuse An Lushan.

"Your Majesty, please spare me--" No one paid attention to what the officials who were dragged down were shouting.

Above, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's face was extremely gloomy.

Below, all the civil and military officials were silent and did not speak out. No one dared to come out again for accusing An Lushan of being ambitious to rebel.

Idiot! Yang Guozhong cursed in his heart and did not sympathize with several officials at all. In fact, no one discussed with him in advance. He took his own initiative and exposed An Lushan's ambition to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, saying that An Lushan wanted to rebel and now ended up like this.

If Li Linfu was the one who understood the thoughts of Emperor Xuanzong the most, then Yang Guozhong was the second person who understood the thoughts of Emperor Xuanzong the most.

Although the civil and military officials in the court almost felt that An Lushan had problems, Yang Guozhong knew very well that others could only guide him. Except for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, no one could directly accuse An Lushan of his ambitions and wanted to rebel, otherwise it would only make Emperor Xuanzong of Tang unable to come to Taiwan.

"Retreat!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left with his face.

In a corner of Huaqing Palace, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sat in the pavilion and played music.

An Lushan has not come to Chang'an City for a long time. Even officials in the court think that An Lushan is ambitious. As a suspicious emperor, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang could not have no feelings at all. In fact, this has almost become his heart disease.

But An Lushan was his adopted son, and he supported him. If An Lushan had ambitions and wanted to betray the Tang Dynasty and betray him, wouldn’t his trust and support for An Lushan over the years become a blind eye?

Furthermore, An Lushan held 200,000 heavy troops, which Emperor Xuanzong of Tang could not imagine. If An Lushan was really ambitious, what should he do?

Because I don’t know what to do, unless An Lushan really raised the flag to rebel, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would not believe it, nor would he believe that An Lushan would rebel.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had a fantasy and a lucky chance, that is, An Lushan was always a loyal person in the Tang Dynasty, and would not betray the Tang Dynasty, nor would he betray him, his "adoptive father"!

————-

Yang Guozhong was definitely the only one who could guess thoroughly the thoughts of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. As the prime minister, Yang Guozhong had his own information, and he also knew whether An Lushan was really ambitious, but what did it have to do with him, Yang Guozhong?

Does An Lushan want to rebel? When An Lushan truly rebels, he will destroy An Lushan in an instant.

It was also the matter of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not believe in An Lushan's ambition. Anyway, as long as no one could threaten his position as prime minister, he always held the rights in his hands, and the others were in charge of many others!

Yang Guozhong is undoubtedly the same person as Li Linfu, who values ​​power the same, and everything is for the power in their own hands.

The only thing Yang Guozhong was worried about was the war between Jiannandao and Nanzhao Kingdom.

Yang Guozhong was also the governor of Jiannandao. From the day he became prime minister, he reported that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was aggressively ordered Jiannandao to be the main force and gather three forces to start attacking the Nanzhao Kingdom.

However, the first time the defeat was defeated, and the second time the defeat was also defeated, and even the coach Li Mi was killed in battle. Although the third time was delayed to this day, the soldiers were killed and injured due to various reasons, and there was no progress. There was no hope of destroying Nanzhao Kingdom.

On the contrary, after so many times, in order to attack Nanzhao Kingdom, Jiannan Road, Shannan Road, Henan Road and other places, the potential was exhausted. The soldiers alone suffered more than 200,000 casualties, and the court allocated a large amount of money and food. The Tang Dynasty's national strength in the battle against Nanzhao Kingdom was much greater than that of the war between Longyou Daoge Shuhan presided over by the Tubo.

Yang Guozhong was in a state of great anxiety, but he did not dare to report that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang stopped the war against Nanzhao. Because the war against Nanzhao was a war that Yang Guozhong presided over when he became prime minister. If he did not win the war, the blow to his prestige would be fatal, and it would probably cause him to lose the position of prime minister directly. Therefore, no matter how much he consumed, he would hold on anyway.

In March, a "good news" finally came, which made Yang Guozhong feel excited.

The Nanzhao Kingdom has sought peace!

Nanzhao finally couldn't hold on anymore, Yang Guozhong was overjoyed. He waited for this day for more than three years.

In fact, under the order of Yang Guozhong, the Tang army continued to attack. Although they were defeated by Nanzhao, they killed 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 themselves. The Nanzhao Kingdom only had a population of one million. The Tang army's attack made ordinary people and soldiers in Nanzhao Kingdom suffer heavy casualties and were unable to continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the King of Nanzhao asked for peace from the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong exhausted the potential of the three paths of Jiannan, Shannan and Henan. Unless the power of other paths is adjusted, they are no longer able to continue to attack Nanzhao. Therefore, the peace of Nanzhao was exactly in line with Yang Guozhong's wishes.

Of course, in order to increase his prestige, Yang Guozhong described the peace of Nanzhao as a great victory in the Tang Dynasty, and said that Jiannandao defeated Nanzhao, and reported it to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
