Li Longji solemnly said: "Master Lu Tianshi said that An Lushan rebelled?"
Li Longji had never believed that An Lushan would rebel, but now he had to believe it.
Because this is Master Lu Tianshi’s calculation. Master Lu Tianshi is an immortal in the heaven, so how can the calculation be wrong?
Of course, this was the previous luck. After Lu Tianshi took action, Datang's luck had changed, so An Lushan might not still rebel.
But even if An Lushan doesn't rebel this time, Li Longji has no intention of letting him go.
Even if killing An Lushan would lead to an imbalance of forces among all parties, Li Longji would not hesitate.
The officials in the palace also had different expressions. For example, Ji Wen, the censor Zhongcheng who was close to An Lushan, did not look very good.
But people like Yang Guozhong, who couldn't deal with An Lushan, felt secretly happy, and loyal people like Gao Lishi, who had long seen An Lushan's ambition, were also secretly happy.
Just when I was worried about how to convince the saint, Master Lu Tianshi's words really helped a lot.
"Yes, he rebelled." Master Lu Tianshi nodded and said, "Actually, even Chang'an's son knows that An Lushan is going to rebel. That means you are still deceiving yourself."
Li Longji subconsciously wanted to argue.
But someone spoke before Li Longji.
"Forgive me for not agreeing with what Master Lu Tianshi said." Among the officials, an official in a scarlet robe knelt down and stood up, arguing boldly, "Master Lu Tianshi has never met Commander An Jie, and he dares to say that Commander An Jie will definitely rebel. ?”
"How dare you, Ji Wen!" Yang Guozhong, the leader of the civil service class, immediately stood up and shouted, "This is a secret deduced by Lu Tianshi. How dare you, a mortal, question it?"
"Are you Ji Wen? It's no wonder." Master Lu Tianran said.
"What do Lu Tianshi mean by these words? Do you want to frame me as a member of Anjieshuai's gang?" Ji Wen's heart sank, but at this time he was no longer allowed to back down, so he could only go to the dark side and choose to fight Lu Tianshi to the end.
Lu Tianshi said suddenly: "Is this still a trap? You are a member of An Lushan's party."
"Saint!" Ji Wen turned pale with shock and knelt down in front of Li Longji.
"Where is the Jinwu Guard!" Yang Guozhong shouted, "We haven't captured Jiwen and Anqingzong yet!"
Yang Guozhong was not stupid, but he was just a little worried. He wanted to take advantage of this great opportunity to directly put An Lushan's plan to rebel into an ironclad conclusion.
As for whether An Lushan will really rebel?
He had never thought about how to quickly extinguish An Lushan's troops after he raised his troops.
To put it bluntly, Yang Guozhong is not Li Linfu, he does not have the scheming mind and the ability.
Of course, it can also be understood that Yang Guozhong did not take An Lushan seriously at all.
Yang Guozhong and Li Longji probably had the same idea. If An Lushan really dared to rebel, he would be wiped out by the court's counter-rebellion army in minutes, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
Facing Yang Guozhong's sudden attack, the officials in the palace had different expressions.
Ji Wen was still calm, but An Qingzong collapsed on the ground.
However, the Jinwu guards standing on both sides of the hall remained motionless and did not obey Yang Guozhong's orders at all.
General Gao Xianzhi of Youjinwu Guard who was sitting in the general class subconsciously stood up and sat back down when he saw this. His title as General Youjinwuwei was just a false title. Gao Lishi was always in charge of Jinwuwei.
Gao Lishi's face turned cold and shouted: "The Jinwu Guards are the Forbidden Army of the Saints. What does the Right Prime Minister want?"
Yang Guozhong's expression suddenly changed, and then he realized that he had been so excited that he had overstepped his authority and replaced someone with a saint. This was a taboo.
Fortunately, Yang Guozhong understood the nature of the saint.
As the saint grew older, his temper became much more surly.
But as long as you follow him and don't fight with him, you'll basically be fine.
At that moment, Yang Guozhong decisively gave up and said: "General Hussars, please don't get me wrong. The truth is that I have no intention of overstepping my authority. I am just angry at the ambition of the traitor An Lushan. For a moment, I forgot about it. As for whether to capture Jiwen and Anqing Zong, And thoroughly investigate An Lushan’s party members, everything will be decided by the saint.”
He is cruel enough, and even takes the opportunity to raise a big prison.
It is estimated that it is far more than just eradicating An Lushan's gang members.
After saying that, Yang Guozhong crossed his hands to Li Longji and begged: "Saint?"
Li Longji reprimanded Gao Lishi and said: "The dog slave is too troublesome. The right minister didn't mean it, it was just a moment of righteous indignation, so he didn't rush to take people."
"Here!" Gao Lishi was scolded and could only follow Yang Guozhong's wishes and order the Jinwu Guards to capture Ji Wen and An Qingzong on the spot.
An Qingzong was so frightened that he peed on the spot.
Ji Wen shouted loudly: "Sage, you are so confused. You are clearly forcing An Jie Shuai to rebel! You have taken An Qingzong this time, and An Jie Shuai has no choice but to rebel even if he doesn't want to. Saint, This person is not a heavenly master, but a demon. Do not believe in the evil words of demons and harm your loyal people. Saint..."
Li Longji had a sullen face and allowed Jin Wuwei to drag Ji and Wen away.
Now that it has been decided to capture Anlushan, Jiwen and Anqingzong cannot be retained.
Later, Chang'an will also be blocked to pursue An Lushan's cronies installed in Chang'an City to avoid leaking the news in advance.
At this time, Yang Guozhong's intention was completely fulfilled. Yang Guozhong said again: "Sage, although Ji Wen is a minion of the An thief, what he said just now is not wrong. This time, An Qingzong and Ji Wen have been captured, and they must be arrested immediately." Send people to Fanyang, Hedong and Pinglu to seize the military power of Anlu Mountain to avoid disaster."
"Childish." Before Li Longji could speak, he was reprimanded by Lu Tianshi, "You were so active when you arrested An Qingzong and Ji Wen, and you thought Yang Guozhong had any good tricks behind you, but it turned out that you were just a fool, except for howling. A few words later, when it came to getting things done, nothing was accomplished, and he did not prevent An Lushan from rebelling."
"Pfft!" Many officials snickered on the spot.
Master Lu Tianshi's idiot words really pleased their hearts.
Isn't Yang Guozhong just a idiot? Besides bending the law for personal gain, what else can you do?
As far as An Lushan is concerned, Yang Guozhong will never do anything else except make noises in front of the saint all day long. He doesn't even have the ability to place a few reliable hidden stakes around An Lushan so that he can carry his back in an emergency. prick.
Yang Guozhong's face suddenly turned the color of a pig's belly. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare.
Li Longji also felt that his face was shameless, and he couldn't help but defended Yang Guozhong: "In fact, I and the Right Prime Minister have been on guard against An Lushan's rebellion for a long time, but we did not make it public before it happened."
"Really? But I don't know what arrangements you have made?"
Others dare not offend the saint, but Tianshi Lu has no scruples.
Li Longji looked at Yang Guozhong with some displeasure, saying in his heart that I am speaking for you.
Yang Guozhong's little eyes were darting around, but he couldn't think of the right words in his eagerness.
In the end, it was Li Longji who reluctantly came up with a rhetoric, and immediately said: "People's support, after repeated calculations with the Right Prime Minister, I believe that the court's greatest reliance is on people's support."
"Ah, yes, people's hearts!" Yang Guozhong also reacted now.
"An Lushan captured and executed him before he raised his troops. It was an unprovoked execution and it will inevitably lose the support of the people."
"However, after An Lushan rebels, the imperial court sends out large troops to fight against it, which is to eliminate the violence and bring order to the people and comply with the people's will. As soon as the imperial army arrives, the soldiers and civilians of Hebei will gather in Jingcong, and the rebels can be defeated in ten days. military."
Lu Tianshi sneered and said: "It means that you had expected that An Lushan would rebel, but because he has not yet raised an army to rebel, you can't just hunt him down. Is that what you mean?"
"Of course." Yang Guozhong said, "An Lushan is the military governor of the three towns after all."
Lu Tianshi nodded and said: "It is indeed not good to kill the frontier officials without conclusive evidence. It is not wrong to wait for Anlu Mountain to show its signs and then launch an upright crusade by the Tianbing. But what I am curious about is, you guys What did you do secretly to be so sure that the people of Hebei will support the Tang Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Yang Guozhong almost hugged Lu Tianshi and kissed him.
As expected of Lu Tianshi, he gave him such a good opportunity to flatter the saint.
At that moment, Yang Guozhong folded his hands and sang to Li Longji: "With a holy king in the court, the people's hearts will naturally turn to the court."
"Well, you guys still haven't done anything." Lu Tianshi said, "However, unfortunately, in this catastrophic rebellion, people's hearts and minds played almost no role, at least in the early stages of the rebellion, people's hearts and minds did not play a big role. .”
"Moreover, do the people of Hebei really support the imperial court?"
The three-story main hall of Huaxianhui Building fell silent for an instant.
What Master Lu Tian said was very serious.
