Chapter 273 An Shi's Rebellion Begins (3)

Since I came to Chang'an City, Anqingzong has not had a good sleep for a day.

It seems that he married the princess of the royal family and became a royal relative. With his original identity, he is truly glorious and envied by countless people.

But as An Lushan's eldest son, how could An Qingzong not know his father An Lushan's ambition? His father An Lushan wanted to rebel and become an emperor. No matter whether he wanted to or not, he could not stop his father An Lushan.

Although he was the eldest son of his father, his father never liked him very much. He had already had the idea of ​​rebellion, but His Majesty could not refuse him after summoning him repeatedly. His Majesty gave him a marriage to Princess Rongyi and asked him to come to Chang'an City to get married. His father asked him to come without thinking about it, and even gave him a message to Youzhou when he had the opportunity, without considering his safety at all.

He was very worried that he would never be able to leave Chang'an City again!

Although she was very nervous, An Qingzong did not dare to violate An Lushan's orders and kept spreading the news to Youzhou. Among them, Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing joined forces to tell Tang Xuanzong that An Lushan had ambitions, and Tang Xuanzong was a little shaken and wanted to start to prevent.

After sending this news, An Qingzong also tentatively wrote another memorial to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, proposing that he wanted to take his wife Princess Rongyi back to Youzhou.

The result was that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent people to comfort him, but the meaning was obvious, that was not allowed!

An Qingzong was very disappointed and could not return to Youzhou, so he could only continue to live in Chang'an City with trepidation.

--------

During this period, Yang Guozhong watched Geshuhan and Feng Changqing join forces to deal with An Lushan, and he did not help or stop him.

Speaking of which, Yang Guozhong was not interested in Geshuhan and Feng Changqing. Although he had a good relationship with Geshuhan during the Li Linfu era, he hoped to win Geshuhan over to deal with Li Linfu. Now Li Linfu has long since collapsed and he has become the prime minister. He hoped that Geshuhan could obey his fate, but with Geshuhan's personality and status, it was impossible.

Yang Guozhong also hoped that Feng Changqing would listen to his words, but Feng Changqing was also stubborn. Not only did he not listen to his words, he repeatedly became his obstacles after returning from the Western Regions.

He was not interested in Geshuhan and Feng Changqing, so Yang Guozhong watched Geshuhan and Feng Changqing join forces to deal with An Lushan, just like watching the two tigers fighting each other, and he wanted to be the fisherman behind him.

Geshuhan suddenly had a serious stroke, and Feng Changqing was alone and could not help him. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had just shaken his heart and became stubborn again. Yang Guozhong also saw it one by one. He knew that Feng Changqing and Geshuhan might not be able to defeat An Lushan for the time being.

After all, Yang Guozhong was just a politician. His vision was only to overthrow Wang Hui, Li Linfu and others. He could never imagine that if a general like An Lushan, who had 200,000 elite troops, would be so terrifying if he rebelled. When he knew about it, it would be too late to regret it.

Time is coming to September.

At this time, the people were ready to welcome the autumn harvest because this was the day when they worked hard for a year and finally waited for the harvest.

However, this year, the people on both sides of the Yellow River in Guanzhong did not see any joy on their faces.

After entering the 14th year of Tianbao, Guanzhong and the Yellow River have never stopped.

First, there were continuous floods in May and June, and in July, there was a major change and drought that broke out, which was like a double state of ice and fire.

Affected by two major disasters, the food that can still be harvested in Guanzhong and the two sides of the Yellow River is very small, and the people are suffering from it.

If it was the Kaiyuan period, the politics was clear and the Yichuang grains were piled up like mountains, and even if the disaster was a little bigger, at least it would not be starved to death. However, after entering the Tianbao year, especially after Yang Guozhong was the prime minister on the spot, the court was corrupt from top to bottom. The emperor was leisurely and enjoyed the palace in the deep palace, and the prime minister and officials reported good news but not bad news. The Yichuang was also emptied a few years ago. The court had no reaction to this disaster, and there was no action to relieve the disaster, and the people were heartbroken!

Just like the old man next to the field of Jiannan Road, many people stood by their deserted fields, looking dazed, and they couldn't help but start thinking.

How prosperous was the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan period? Why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still remain the same emperor today, but the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has gone far away? Where is the problem? Why did the prosperous era fail to maintain a good prosperity and fall day by day after a few years?

The people are the most intuitive, and they know best whether the prosperous age is a real prosperous age or a superficial prosperous age.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, they only see the surface, and still think that the prosperous Tang Dynasty is still the prosperous Tang Dynasty, such as Yang Guozhong and other politicians in the court. But in the eyes of ordinary people at the bottom, they clearly feel that the prosperous era is gone, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty is no longer the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Andong Protectorate, Liaoyang City.

After a period of construction, the scale of Liaoyang City is more than twice as large as before, and the Liaohe River water has been introduced to form a moat!

Today, Liaoyang City has become a real hard city!

In the area around Liaoyang City, teams of prisoners from Bohai Kingdom widened the roads and built bridges under the supervision of Andong Army soldiers.

At the beginning, Li Fei asked the court to deal with these prisoners, but because Li Fei revealed the reason for the Bohai Kingdom's uprising, it caused a huge shock. In addition, the crown prince of the Bohai Kingdom would go to Chang'an City as a proton, so Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had no clue about the handling of the Bohai Kingdom's prisoners and only asked the Anton Protectorate to take care of it first.

Li Fei had no choice but to order the Andong army soldiers to divide the captives of the Bohai Kingdom into teams and arrange them to build roads and bridges around a radius of 100 miles of Liaoyang City, which is considered that they have not eaten anything.

Although Li Fei was not too harsh in treating these prisoners of Bohai Kingdom, and had enough food for three meals and had a reasonable rest time, more than 36,000 young and strong prisoners worked for several months and repaired the roads that should be broadened and built within a radius of 100 miles of Liaoyang City, and paved a lot of bridges.

Now, Li Fei finally waited for the court's solution.

It turned out that he had to release all the prisoners of Bohai Kingdom to the Bohai Kingdom.

Li Fei was so angry that he wanted to throw his cup after learning about the court's handling. Although Bohai Kingdom was defeated by him and became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion was near. At this time, the release of more than 36,000 prisoners of Bohai Kingdom back to Bohai Kingdom was no different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain. It was always a threat behind his Anton Protectorate's Mansion.

Anger is anger, and Li Fei would not clearly disobey the court's orders.

In fact, after thinking about it, he also guessed the reason for the court's handling of this. It's really no wonder that the court was made by him, Li Fei himself.

At the beginning, Li Fei was determined to cause trouble for Yang Guozhong, and directly exposed the Bohai Kingdom to the court that someone deliberately designed a conspiracy to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, causing a huge shock.

The Crown Prince of Bohai went to Chang'an City to serve as a proton, brought the Bohai envoy who came to Chang'an City to worship, and told Emperor Xuanzong of Tang that the whole story was indeed framed by the Bohai Kingdom.

The Bohai Kingdom was framed and was "unjustified". With the pleading of the Crown Prince of Bohai Kingdom, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang might not be able to refuse. It was natural for him to release more than 36,000 prisoners of the Bohai Kingdom who were defeated.

Li Fei endured the toothache and helpedlessly released all the more than 36,000 prisoners of Bohai Kingdom to the Bohai Kingdom. In any case, he did not have the energy to take care of so many prisoners of Bohai Kingdom. Releasing back to the Bohai Kingdom might make the Bohai Kingdom recover in a short time, but the last battle I thought I would leave a deep enough impression on the Bohai Kingdom. Even if the Bohai Kingdom could recover in a short time, he should not dare to provoke the Andong Protectorate again.
