President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 91
Li Tan blinked and said: "Wait a minute, let's take care of it. I don't think this thing is right. Why did he suddenly get poisoned again? Who poisoned him?"
Li Tan thinks that it should not be Li Linfu. If it is Li Linfu, he is best at directly planting and framing, and then killing the opponent through "regular" means. He will not use this method that will cause fire if he is exposed.
An Lifan looked at Li Tan in a daze: "Did Master not figure it out?"
Li Tan: ...
He coughed lightly and said, "Recently, I have saved too many people. I am afraid of being backlashed and dare not go to see the way of heaven, and you haven't divination?"
An Lifan was a little hesitant: "Forget it, but I always feel something is wrong. I figured out that An Qingzong poisoned An Lushan, but...how could it be?"
Li Tan also felt a little strange, it was true that An Lushan had always doted on his youngest son, An Qingxu, so it was normal for An Qingzong to be dissatisfied.
It's just that An Qingzong is attacking An Lushan now, why?
Li Tan looked at An Lifan's face full of curiosity, and said directly: "Don't worry about them."
An Lifan asked: "The poison of An Lushan... Will Master cure it?"
Li Tan smiled slightly and didn't speak, thinking that his elixir is at most just for strengthening the body, and detoxification is not something to think about.
Seeing that Li Tan didn't speak, An Lifan didn't ask any more questions. Just when Li Tan was thinking about which book to give him this time, he left without hesitation.
Li Tan looked at his back with some doubts and said, "He didn't ask anything today?"
Zhu Xieli who was on the side had been silent just now, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Is this a normal master-student relationship?"
"Huh?" Li Tan turned to look at him.
Zhu Xieli smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just think that the relationship between you and An Lifan is not so much a master-student, but a transaction is more appropriate. If you ask him to do something, he will give you the same thing. The book or something else, in fact, the normal master-student relationship may not need to be like this, right?"
Li Tan lowered his eyes and said: "Maybe I still don't regard him as a real apprentice. After all, his identity is different, and his identity is too sensitive. It's not good to be too close."
Zhu Xieli quickly said: "I didn't say I was wrong, but you just asked me that, and I thought it might be An Lifan who also noticed the problem between you and wanted to change it."
Li Tan is noncommittal about this, unless one day An Lifan breaks with An Lushan, then he can truly have a relationship with An Lifan, otherwise... If he is out of his heart, An Lifan turns around and bites him back what to do?
Whether An Lifan will bite back, no one knows at this stage, but Li Tan soon knew why An Qingzong poisoned An Lushan.
On the third day when An Lushan became seriously ill, he wrote a letter requesting that An Qingzong return to Fanyang to take charge of the overall situation instead of him.
When Li Linfu reported the matter, Li Tan happened to be at Li Longji's place to explain to him about the arsenal fire that day.
In the end, the fire in the arsenal caused more than 40 pieces of weapons to be damaged. Even though Li Longji was used to extravagance, he had to feel distressed when he heard this number.
Then when he was distressed, Li Shizhi directly confessed to Li Tan, saying that it was His Royal Highness Ning Wang who refused to let the fire be put out.
So Li Longji called Li Tan into the palace, and then met Li Linfu who came to ask for instructions with An Lushan's memorial.
The matter of An Lushan is obviously more important than the accountability of the arsenal. Li Longji put Li Tan aside first, and asked, "What? Is Aluoshan really so serious?"
After Li Longji asked this question, he turned to look at Li Tan and asked again: "I heard that An Qingzong visited you, how is Ah Luoshan's condition?"
Li Tan hesitated for a moment and said: "For the time being, there should be no fear of his life, but in a short period of time, he may not be able to bear the pain of a long journey."
Li Longji frowned and said: "Nowadays Khitan and Xibu both have disobedience, An Qingzong... really can?"
Before Li Tan could speak, Li Shizhi next to him said, "If the Jiedu Envoy of Fan Yang cannot return to Fan Yang for a long time, why not send someone else? The position of Jiedu Envoy is very important, and it is not a hereditary title. Do you want An Qingzong to go?"
Li Tan and Li Linfu looked at each other, and silently closed their mouths, ready to let Li Shizhi go to the front.
Li Tan felt that Li Shizhi might still think that Li Linfu and An Lushan were in the same group, otherwise how could he be so active?
What Li Shizhi said is indeed reasonable. Except for the throne, any official position in the world does not require the son to inherit his father's business. As for the hereditary throne, it is the title, which is two systems from the official position.
However, Li Longji also has his concerns. There are Hu people living together in Fan Yang or the Northeast. The best way is to let the Hu people take charge. If it is replaced by a Han Chinese, not to mention the conflict of living habits and the conflict of thinking mode Well, if he doesn't listen to him, he will be nothing but a puppet if he goes.
So even though Li Longji was not particularly willing to let An Qingzong go back, he still considered An Lushan's suggestion.
After a while, Li Longji already had some calculations in his mind. He turned to look at Li Tan and asked, "What did you say? Why did you stop the firefighting that day?"
Li Tan said calmly: "Because Zhu Xieli, the prince's son of Yongshou County, was on duty that day."
Li Tan deliberately did not mention Zhu Xieli's current position, in order to remind Li Longji that this is not an ordinary courtier, the king of Yongshou County has only one son left now, if something goes wrong when he is forced to fight the fire , who is it?
Li Shizhi snorted coldly at the side and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning made a good excuse. There is no prince Zhu Xie, so there is no one else?"
Li Tan turned his head to look at him and asked: "Who knows if there will be a censor involved in Zhu Xieli's dereliction of duty? Besides, Zhu Xieli has never been a coward. If I let him down at that time, He may not agree to put someone else up, unless I give an order not to put out the fire."
Li Shizhi immediately said: "No matter what, the 40 weapons in the arsenal were burned, and His Highness is afraid to bear most of the responsibility. Can His Highness admit it?"
Li Linfu coughed lightly at this time and said: "Your Highness also has some difficulties. It is said that the fire was so intense at that time that even if you tried your best to rescue it, you may not be able to save much. If it takes the life of Prince Zhu Xie, it will be even more worthless. Your Highness's move It was unexpected but reasonable, so why should Qinghe County Duke be so aggressive?"
Li Shizhi said: "I just want to let the sage know the truth, how can I be aggressive?"
Li Linfu wanted to say something else, but Li Tan simply said: "It doesn't matter, Qinghe county magistrate is so upright, I understand it, so it is indeed my responsibility."
Li Longji had been listening by the side before, and after seeing Li Tan admitting his fault so easily, he was a little strange.
He never intervened because he felt that Li Shizhi might not be Li Tan's opponent. You must know that even Li Linfu didn't have any advantage in competing with Li Tan, let alone Li Shizhi, who was inferior to Li Tan in every aspect. .
Didn't expect Li Tan to admit it so easily?
Li Longji didn't say anything, he always felt that Li Tan must have a backup.
So he saw Li Tan take off his waist card and throw it directly into the arms of Gao Lishi who was standing next to him, saying: "In this case, Duke Lao Bohai holds two positions."
Everyone present was confused by his move, even Gao Lishi didn't react.
Li Longji said angrily: "31 Lang, don't be willful!"
Li Shizhi immediately said from the side: "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness? Official positions are the state's public treasures, how can they be handed over privately?"
Li Tan turned his head and looked at him: "Can't you be blind to see so many people here? This is called giving and receiving in private?"
Li Shizhi didn't expect Li Tan to turn his face directly, so he was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, King Ning Li Tan is one of the few sensible people in the royal family. He is not only well-educated, but also gentle and polite. He has never bullied others.
So no one thought that one day Li Tan would curse like a rascal in the market.
Li Shizhi flicked his sleeves and said, "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!"
Li Tan sneered: "What? I have taken the blame and resigned. Isn't Qinghe county magistrate still satisfied? Is it necessary to abolish my throne to be reconciled?"
Even if Li Shizhi wanted to pursue Li Tan no matter how much he wanted, he didn't dare to speak after saying this.
There is only one possibility for the prince's throne to be abolished, and that is rebellion. If it is not a rebellion, no matter how big a mistake he makes, at most he will be reduced to the county king.
If Li Shizhi dared to respond to this sentence, it means that he wanted to rebel.
Li Linfu, who was watching the play at the side, felt... a bit cool.
He looked at Li Shizhi and sneered in his heart, you dare to provoke King Ning, as long as you can conclusively prove that he is guilty, that's all. If you tell the unconfirmed things, then wait for him to clean up.
Do you want to go at your pace?Just kidding, don't you know that King Ning is best at flipping tables?
Do you know now?Have nothing to say?
I have to say that Li Linfu still felt very uncomfortable when Li Tan threw the table, but if he united with him and saw him not playing cards according to the rules to deal with others, it would still feel quite cool.
Gao Lishi felt a little helpless holding the badge, His Royal Highness King Ning is really a little fox, this badge is just a proof that General Zuo Jinwuwei can enter and leave the palace at will.
With this, the commander of the Jinwu Guard can enter the palace to report to the emperor at any time.
However, this waist card is basically a waste to Li Tan. When did he need to report when he entered the palace?Isn't it basically just saying come?
If he really wants to resign, what should be given to him is not this waist card, but the seal hanging around his waist representing the identity of General Zuo Jinwuwei.
It's just that he didn't make a sound, he just turned his head to look at Li Longji, and decided to wait for Li Longji's order.
Li Longji was also taken aback by Li Tan's sudden outburst, and he couldn't help laughing when he recovered.
Sure enough, no matter how mature and capable he is, he is still a child, and he strikes at every turn. If this is not a child, what is it?
However, no matter when this kind of behavior is, probably only my parents will tolerate it.
So Li Longji tolerated Li Tan's behavior, and said majesticly but still intimately: "31 Lang, don't mess around, are you going to be a wrestler to death? Take it back quickly, and be careful next time and I will punish you! "
Li Shizhi's face turned green when he heard it from the sidelines. This time he won't be punished for such a serious situation. Will there be another time?Only ghosts believe there will be a next time!
However, apart from being a little helpless, Li Shizhi quickly accepted this result.
After all, it was not the first time that Li Longji was very tolerant of his favorite people, especially for Li Linfu and An Lushan. These two people were not good people from the beginning, so it was even more extreme.
Looking at it this way, Li Tan doesn't seem to have any other problems besides being a bit sloppy.
Li Shizhi accepted the result calmly. In fact, he just wanted to throw the blame away, as long as the responsibility for the ineffective firefighting was not on him.
After all, he is a newly promoted prime minister, and he was selected because Niu Xianke was ill and no one was available. His position is very unstable. If such a big incident happens, Li Linfu and the others will definitely not give up this opportunity to suppress him .
Although Li Shizhi had just faced Li Tan head-on, his hatred value with Li Tan was not that high, at least much lower than Li Linfu and An Lushan.
Now Li Tan is more concerned about how Li Longji will arrange Fan Yang's side.
So after both Li Shizhi and Li Linfu resigned, Li Tan directly asked, "Father, brother Yi...what should we do?"
Li Longji sighed: "Is there really no cure?"
Li Tan smiled bitterly: "Father, you also know that I don't know how to cure diseases at all, I just know how to make alchemy, so I still have to listen to the imperial doctor."
Li Longji thought so too, Li Tan must be inferior to the imperial physician in the palace in terms of medical skills, so he directly asked the imperial physician to be called over to inquire.
Li Tan was also pretending to listen, but what he didn't expect was that even the imperial physician didn't find out that An Lushan was poisoned!
Li Tan couldn't help observing the expressions of the imperial physician carefully, and found that the other two were very serious, and it could be seen from the eyes that they really didn't notice.
He didn't feel that these two imperial physicians were acting. After all, it was An Lushan who was favored in the palace, not An Qingzong. care about him.
And even if he paid a lot of money to serve the imperial doctor, he would not agree to this kind of thing. After all, if the news leaked out, they might not be able to eat and walk around with An Lushan being favored.
Li Tan was puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't say it out, for fear that after he said it, the imperial physicians would find a way to cure An Lushan.
After reading the pulse case, Li Longji confirmed that An Lushan would not be able to return to Fanyang in the near future, so he sighed, thought about it and said, "31 Lang, why don't you go to Aluoshan and ask him if he would like to return to Fanyang?" Are you willing to marry Rong Yi?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Rong Yi?"
Gao Lishi on the side said, "Princess Rongyi."
Only then did Li Tan suddenly realize that An Qingzong had indeed married Princess Rongyi, but in history, when An Qingzong married Princess Rongyi was before An Lushan's rebellion.
After he married Princess Rongyi in the summer and settled in Chang'an, Anlu Mountain raised troops regardless of his life in the autumn of that year.
So An Qingzong was beheaded naturally, and even Princess Rongyi was executed.
He didn't have any idea about An Qingzong's handling, he just pitied Princess Rongyi.
She couldn't help but say nothing about the marriage, and she was implicated and lost her life.
When she was asked to marry An Qingzong, who asked her wishes?
Later, when An Lushan rebelled, did you check whether she had anything to do with her, and was he kept in the dark?
It's fine if you don't know, but now that you know the result, Li Tan is still very conflicted about the marriage between Rong Yi and An Qingzong.
It's just that he didn't have a good idea, he only knew that Li Longji had this idea mainly because he wanted to tie An Qingzong to the chariot of Datang completely through marriage.
And not everyone can become the princess.
But this method is naturally useful for loyal ministers, and loyal ministers will be very grateful and work harder.
For An Lushan and his son, who were born rebellious, it was just a cover to deceive Li Longji.
Li Tan thought of this and immediately said: "The princess will marry, and the brother-in-law will definitely agree, but... the wedding etiquette of the princess is complicated. If Fan Yang's side has really arrived, someone must sit in the town, so the brother-in-law let An Qingzong go back. If not, I'm afraid it's too late to get married."
Li Longji really meant this when he thought about it. He sighed after thinking for a while and said, "It seems that these two children are destined to each other, let's forget it for now."
Li Tanxin said that it is best not to have a relationship, and he is also a little worried. Li Longji has this idea now, but he can't achieve his goal due to time.
If An Qingzong really showed his strength in the future, and Li Longji thought of this incident again, I'm afraid Princess Rongyi still won't be able to escape this encounter.
Thinking about it this way, he thought about whether to secretly inform Princess Rongyi's father and let him choose a son-in-law quickly, and marry Princess Rongyi first.
As for Princess Rongyi, she might be another clan daughter... Li Tan said that he can only take one step at a time. After all, if he wants to say that An Lushan will rebel in the future, I am afraid no one will believe it.
We must know that An Lushan's rebellion at the beginning was almost irresistible, and he didn't listen to the orders of the central government. Someone told Li Longji that An Lushan would rebel, but he still didn't believe it, let alone now.
Li Tan returned to the palace with a long sigh, and after a while Zhu Xieli ran over and asked, "Has Li Shizhi joined you?"
Li Tan laughed and said, "What kind of participation is that? It's just a complaint."
Zhu Xieli didn't speak but just looked at him quietly, Li Tan had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, he can't touch me."
It's just that the matter of 40 weapons in the arsenal is a bit of a headache, and it's a huge expense all of a sudden. He seems to have seen the "grand occasion" where the Ministry of Household Affairs ordered the palace to stop work.
Zhu Xieli sighed: "You still have to be careful, the person who can still become the prime minister under Li Linfu's suppression is not an ordinary person."
Of course Li Tan knew this truth, he looked at Zhu Xieli with some doubts: "No, why does your tone sound a bit strange? What happened?"
Such a melancholy look doesn't look like Zhu Xieli.
After hearing this, Zhu Xieli became happy again, leaned over to kiss him and said with a smile: "Ah Tian really understands me, something happened, maybe I will go out with Dad in a few days."
Li Tan:? ? ? ? ? ?
He looked at Zhu Xieli in shock, is it really okay for you to say such an important thing in such an understatement tone?
Seeing Li Tan's staring eyes, Zhu Xieli couldn't help but hugged him, buried his face in his shoulder and said, "I don't want to leave you either."
Li Tan hugged him back, thought for a long time before saying: "You are the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, you cannot go without the permission of the imperial court."
Zhu Xieli said sullenly: "The imperial court will agree. Dad is not young. I haven't been in contact with the battlefield a few times. This time I have to go."
Although Zhu Xieli was a bit reluctant to part with Li Tan, he still didn't ask to stay. Leading troops to fight is the foundation of their clan. If they can't even do this, they can only be "raised" by the Tang Dynasty in the future. In the end, it will merge with Datang, and there will be no trace left.
Li Tan was a little confused, he really never thought that Zhu Xieli would go to the battlefield one day, the sadness of parting was far less than his worry about Zhu Xieli.
He was silent for a while before asking: "Where is it unstable again? Recently, it is said that it is a bit difficult to be out of Khitan and Xibu. It should be fine in other places."
However, Khitan and Xibu are nothing more than dishonest, and they haven't reached the point where they can do anything.
Zhu Xieli said, "It's Tubo."
He hesitated for a while before saying: "Tubo fought with the officers and soldiers in the Stone Fort, and the officers and soldiers were wiped out."
Li Tan was shocked, and quickly let go of Zhu Xieli, leaned back slightly and stared at him and asked, "What you said is true? Why didn't I get any news? No, the court hasn't even got any news yet!"
Zhu Xieli's eyes wandered, and he said in a low voice: "We...we have our news channel. If you don't believe me, wait for two days, and the battle report should arrive in Chang'an."
Li Tan immediately understood that they might have their own people over there. After all, the border is full of Hu people, and it is not surprising that there are one or two Hu people spies.
He also whispered, "This...you don't need to tell me."
Things like spies need to be kept secret. Although Zhu Xieli didn't say who the person they stayed there was, as long as they knew there was one, they could be spotted. This kind of information leak is very scary.
Zhu Xieli kissed him and said, "I believe you."
Except that the two of them have no bridal chamber, they are actually closer than a real couple.
Li Tan shared all the resources with him, and if it wasn't for the many things in the clan that he could not decide, he would not have kept them secret.
Li Tan sighed and said, "When will you leave?"
Zhu Xieli said, "Middle of next month at the latest."
Li Tan nodded, and thought about it carefully, thinking that within this period of time, he should have time to make Zhu Xieli a flexible yet defensive armor.
He looked at Zhu Xieli seriously and said, "You must take the knife I gave you. Don't worry about damage or anything. It's just a knife. As long as you come back safely, you can have more."
Zhu Xieli responded in a low voice and said, "I will take it with me, and I will think of you when I see it."
After the two got bored for a while, Li Tan reluctantly used his brains on the serious business, and couldn't help frowning and said: "In this way, it is almost certain that An Qingzong will return to Fan Yang."
Zhu Xieli nodded: "That's right, since Tubo is at war, it is necessary to stabilize Khitan and Xibu, whether it is Huairou or suppression, anyway, they can't make trouble, but... An Qingzong really Can you hold it down?"
Li Tan shook his head: "I don't think so. Although An Lushan is shameless and sinister, I have to say that An Qingzong is far behind him."
Just when Li Tan said that An Qingzong couldn't do it, An Lushan sent someone to invite him again.
Li Tan felt strange, he hadn't heard that An Lushan's condition had worsened in the past two days, or that the poison in his body seemed to be under control, so why did he look for him again?
Li Tan asked Zhu Xieli to wait for him in the mansion, changed his messed up clothes, and then went to An's mansion.
An Lushan's complexion is still not good-looking now, but the blackness on his face has gone a lot. After seeing it, Li Tan said very insincerely: "Brother Yi seems to have improved a little, and I think he will be safe in the near future. .”
An Lushan also felt a little happy after hearing this, but said sincerely: "Thanks to the elixir for my brother-in-law."
Li Tan laughed dryly, he didn't think the Healthy Pill had such an effect, it was probably written by An Lifan.
Thinking of this, he asked, "I don't know why Brother Yi called me here?"
An Lushan sighed and said: "Now that I'm sick, I can't go to Fanyang anymore. The saint has promised to let Dalang go to the town first, but I'm worried that Dalang is young and inexperienced, so I don't know if my righteous brother can assist Dalang Lang's people recommend?"
Li Tan felt very strange when he heard it. An Lushan had his own team of counselors, and the Hu people in the Northeast also supported him. Under such circumstances, if An Lushan wanted to help An Qingzong, I can just choose one of my retainers at will, why bother to ask him?
While he was suspicious, he smiled and said: "Brother Yi was joking, I don't have anyone to recommend, not to mention that Da Lang has been with Brother Yi all these years, and he has seen much more than me, Brother Yi Don't worry too much."
An Qingzong was more than ten years older than him, and An Lushan said that An Qingxu was young in front of him... Is this mocking him?
An Lushan sighed: "I don't know what my brother-in-law said? I'm just worried. It seems that Khitan and Xibu have been linked with Tubo. I have been on guard before, but I'm afraid Dalang won't be able to guard against it."
Is it Tubo again?
Li Tan looked at An Lushan calmly, suspecting that he had obtained information about Tubo's rebellion through some channel, otherwise he would not insist on mentioning Tubo at this juncture.
"Since that's the case, isn't there anyone on Yixiong's side?"
Li Tan originally wanted to say a few words and leave, but now he changed his mind and planned to say more.
Of course, An Lushan must be willing to disclose the news. At present, An Lushan is leading the topic little by little.
An Lushan said hesitantly: "In the past, there were quite a few candidates to handle government affairs, but if we really want to start a war with Khitan and Xibu, by then... Dalang is afraid..."
Li Tan immediately understood that An Lushan wanted a general who could help An Qingzong lead troops to fight.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, I heard An Lushan say: "I was very optimistic about what Ashina would do, but I didn't expect... hey..."
Li Tan said in his heart that this was indeed his intention. After the assassination of Li Linfu last time, although no more people were involved, Ashina's work must be unstoppable.
But all his evidence at that time proved that he had only had money transactions with the Green Sect, which was no different from the behavior of Mrs. Qing of Dali Temple. There was no way to prove that the time of the assassination was designed by him alone.
What's more, no matter where you look at it, when Ashina first arrived in Chang'an, she didn't have any deep hatred with Li Linfu, and she didn't have to take risks to do this.
As for saying that he was instructed by An Lushan, those who believe in this kind of statement are convinced, but those who don't believe it are dismissed as nonsense.
After all, the relationship between An Lushan and Li Linfu is not too tense, and Li Linfu is also responsible for An Lushan's success today.
If it weren't for Li Linfu's efforts to recommend him, An Lushan might not even have the chance to face the saint.
And An Lushan expressed his gratitude and admiration to Li Linfu in public more than once.
Everyone thought they were in the same group, even Li Shizhi thought so.
So in the end, Ashina's job was nothing more than being stripped of all his official positions, and he became a white man. There was no other punishment at all, and naturally there was no injury.
Since then, Ashina has been dormant for a long time, and now it seems that An Lushan wants him to come out of the mountain.
Li Tan always felt that Ashina's efforts would probably be unstoppable, but he might be able to work on Ashina's efforts.
After all, this person is also born rebellious. As a person who grew up with An Lushan, the two people had almost the same situation in the past. He thought that the abilities of the two were almost the same, but now the difference is so big, he doesn't believe it. Shi Nagan didn't have any thoughts in his mind.
If he really had no idea, he would not have directly killed An Lushan in order to support the puppet An Qingxu in history.
It's a pity that he is not as good as An Lushan, otherwise they wouldn't collapse so quickly.
Li Tan thought for a while and said: "If Ashina wants to come back, he can't make a big show, otherwise he will be targeted, and I'm afraid he will go to court again. It's better to have an opportunity that makes him have to come out, but now this opportunity It hasn't shown up yet, brother Yi, why don't you let him wait, or... Shall I talk to him?"
As soon as An Lushan heard this, he knew that there was something to be done about this matter. At least if Li Tan agreed, there was a high possibility that he would be let go by the sage.
He held Li Tan's hand very happily and said: "Thank you brother for that, Ashina grew up with me after all, now he is white and depressed all day long, I am very sad to see him , I just want to find him an errand."
Li Tan sighed: "Hey, it's okay to go back to Fan Yang. After all, Chang'an is deep in water, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at every position. I was too careless at the beginning. I should pave a way for him, but in the end I let him do it. The general of the Jinwu Guard, perhaps someone has been watching him since then."
An Lushan couldn't help but said angrily: "It must be so."
Li Tan patted the back of his hand reassuringly, took the opportunity to pull his hand out and said, "You don't have to bother, Brother Yi, it's better to cultivate yourself well, I'll figure out a solution for this matter."
After hearing this, An Lushan felt more at ease. Li Tan never promises anything easily, but he will definitely do what he promises.
Seeing that An Lushan was drowsy, Li Tan got up and said goodbye, and when he turned his head, he saw An Qingzong standing outside the door.
An Qingzong looked at Li Tan's expression full of hesitation, which made Li Tan quite amused, and he didn't know whether he couldn't hide it or deliberately caused Li Tan to ask questions.
However, Li Tan had a bad idea in his heart, he just refused to talk to him, and looked around, pretending he didn't see it.
When he was about to walk to the door, An Qingzong finally couldn't help but said: "Uncle, nephew has something unclear, please enlighten me."
Li Tan glanced at him in surprise, and said, "Just tell me."
An Qingzong then asked: "Uncle and Ashina Kugan have worked together before, I wonder if uncle knows about this person?"
Li Tan glanced at him in surprise and asked: "Ashina has been with your father for many years, don't you know?"
An Qingzong explained: "For many years, Ashina Gugan has been an official in other places, and he has not had much contact with Father. The former one came to join him, and it was the first time I saw him."
Li Tan understood, he looked at the gate of An Mansion and said: "This place is not a place to talk, you come with me first."
An Qingzong hurriedly followed him to the study of the palace, but also because the two residences were opposite each other, he couldn't walk a few steps.
When An Qingzong entered the study, he happened to see Zhu Xieli sitting by the window reading a book, and he couldn't help hesitating for a moment.
Li Tan leaned over to Zhu Xieli, took a look and said, "Have you changed the book?"
Zhu Xieli said calmly: "Well, I want to learn more about the geography of mountains and rivers. If you have guests, I won't bother you."
Zhu Xieli said hello to An Qingzong and left the study.
Well, his Do Not Disturb is to switch from the study to the bedroom.
After all, the two of them have less than a month to spend together, and Zhu Xieli is naturally unwilling to separate from Li Tan. He even started thinking about whether to tell his family that he will stay in the palace for the next month. up.
As for gossip...he doesn't care, but unless Li Tan doesn't care either.
Li Tan didn't know what Zhu Xieli was up to. At this moment, he looked at An Qingzong and asked, "If you don't know much about Ashina, do you know all about his past deeds?"
An Qingzong hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said: "I know a thing or two, this person acts rebelliously, and his thoughts are not right, I am worried..."
Li Tan nodded: "Your worries are very reasonable. When Ashina was able to become an official, he cheated the leader of the Xi Department. The Xi Department must regard him as a thorn in the flesh. If you go back alone, the Xi Department may just be on guard. , but if they know that Ashina Gugan also went to Fan Yang together, under the new and old hatred, they may rebel immediately."
An Qingzong was startled and angry at once: "Yes, I didn't expect this, Father...don't Father know? Why do you still do this?"
Li Tan then said: "Perhaps Brother Yi just wants you to practice, after all, too peaceful will not produce excellent generals."
An Qingzong did not speak, but the worry on his face could no longer be concealed.
Li Tan picked up the teacup and asked, "By the way, if you leave, who will take care of the brother-in-law?"
An Qingzong didn't understand why Li Tan asked such a question, looked up at Li Tan with some doubts and said, "Of course it's Erlang..."
Having said that, he suddenly realized.
Li Tan thinks that it should not be Li Linfu. If it is Li Linfu, he is best at directly planting and framing, and then killing the opponent through "regular" means. He will not use this method that will cause fire if he is exposed.
An Lifan looked at Li Tan in a daze: "Did Master not figure it out?"
Li Tan: ...
He coughed lightly and said, "Recently, I have saved too many people. I am afraid of being backlashed and dare not go to see the way of heaven, and you haven't divination?"
An Lifan was a little hesitant: "Forget it, but I always feel something is wrong. I figured out that An Qingzong poisoned An Lushan, but...how could it be?"
Li Tan also felt a little strange, it was true that An Lushan had always doted on his youngest son, An Qingxu, so it was normal for An Qingzong to be dissatisfied.
It's just that An Qingzong is attacking An Lushan now, why?
Li Tan looked at An Lifan's face full of curiosity, and said directly: "Don't worry about them."
An Lifan asked: "The poison of An Lushan... Will Master cure it?"
Li Tan smiled slightly and didn't speak, thinking that his elixir is at most just for strengthening the body, and detoxification is not something to think about.
Seeing that Li Tan didn't speak, An Lifan didn't ask any more questions. Just when Li Tan was thinking about which book to give him this time, he left without hesitation.
Li Tan looked at his back with some doubts and said, "He didn't ask anything today?"
Zhu Xieli who was on the side had been silent just now, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Is this a normal master-student relationship?"
"Huh?" Li Tan turned to look at him.
Zhu Xieli smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just think that the relationship between you and An Lifan is not so much a master-student, but a transaction is more appropriate. If you ask him to do something, he will give you the same thing. The book or something else, in fact, the normal master-student relationship may not need to be like this, right?"
Li Tan lowered his eyes and said: "Maybe I still don't regard him as a real apprentice. After all, his identity is different, and his identity is too sensitive. It's not good to be too close."
Zhu Xieli quickly said: "I didn't say I was wrong, but you just asked me that, and I thought it might be An Lifan who also noticed the problem between you and wanted to change it."
Li Tan is noncommittal about this, unless one day An Lifan breaks with An Lushan, then he can truly have a relationship with An Lifan, otherwise... If he is out of his heart, An Lifan turns around and bites him back what to do?
Whether An Lifan will bite back, no one knows at this stage, but Li Tan soon knew why An Qingzong poisoned An Lushan.
On the third day when An Lushan became seriously ill, he wrote a letter requesting that An Qingzong return to Fanyang to take charge of the overall situation instead of him.
When Li Linfu reported the matter, Li Tan happened to be at Li Longji's place to explain to him about the arsenal fire that day.
In the end, the fire in the arsenal caused more than 40 pieces of weapons to be damaged. Even though Li Longji was used to extravagance, he had to feel distressed when he heard this number.
Then when he was distressed, Li Shizhi directly confessed to Li Tan, saying that it was His Royal Highness Ning Wang who refused to let the fire be put out.
So Li Longji called Li Tan into the palace, and then met Li Linfu who came to ask for instructions with An Lushan's memorial.
The matter of An Lushan is obviously more important than the accountability of the arsenal. Li Longji put Li Tan aside first, and asked, "What? Is Aluoshan really so serious?"
After Li Longji asked this question, he turned to look at Li Tan and asked again: "I heard that An Qingzong visited you, how is Ah Luoshan's condition?"
Li Tan hesitated for a moment and said: "For the time being, there should be no fear of his life, but in a short period of time, he may not be able to bear the pain of a long journey."
Li Longji frowned and said: "Nowadays Khitan and Xibu both have disobedience, An Qingzong... really can?"
Before Li Tan could speak, Li Shizhi next to him said, "If the Jiedu Envoy of Fan Yang cannot return to Fan Yang for a long time, why not send someone else? The position of Jiedu Envoy is very important, and it is not a hereditary title. Do you want An Qingzong to go?"
Li Tan and Li Linfu looked at each other, and silently closed their mouths, ready to let Li Shizhi go to the front.
Li Tan felt that Li Shizhi might still think that Li Linfu and An Lushan were in the same group, otherwise how could he be so active?
What Li Shizhi said is indeed reasonable. Except for the throne, any official position in the world does not require the son to inherit his father's business. As for the hereditary throne, it is the title, which is two systems from the official position.
However, Li Longji also has his concerns. There are Hu people living together in Fan Yang or the Northeast. The best way is to let the Hu people take charge. If it is replaced by a Han Chinese, not to mention the conflict of living habits and the conflict of thinking mode Well, if he doesn't listen to him, he will be nothing but a puppet if he goes.
So even though Li Longji was not particularly willing to let An Qingzong go back, he still considered An Lushan's suggestion.
After a while, Li Longji already had some calculations in his mind. He turned to look at Li Tan and asked, "What did you say? Why did you stop the firefighting that day?"
Li Tan said calmly: "Because Zhu Xieli, the prince's son of Yongshou County, was on duty that day."
Li Tan deliberately did not mention Zhu Xieli's current position, in order to remind Li Longji that this is not an ordinary courtier, the king of Yongshou County has only one son left now, if something goes wrong when he is forced to fight the fire , who is it?
Li Shizhi snorted coldly at the side and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning made a good excuse. There is no prince Zhu Xie, so there is no one else?"
Li Tan turned his head to look at him and asked: "Who knows if there will be a censor involved in Zhu Xieli's dereliction of duty? Besides, Zhu Xieli has never been a coward. If I let him down at that time, He may not agree to put someone else up, unless I give an order not to put out the fire."
Li Shizhi immediately said: "No matter what, the 40 weapons in the arsenal were burned, and His Highness is afraid to bear most of the responsibility. Can His Highness admit it?"
Li Linfu coughed lightly at this time and said: "Your Highness also has some difficulties. It is said that the fire was so intense at that time that even if you tried your best to rescue it, you may not be able to save much. If it takes the life of Prince Zhu Xie, it will be even more worthless. Your Highness's move It was unexpected but reasonable, so why should Qinghe County Duke be so aggressive?"
Li Shizhi said: "I just want to let the sage know the truth, how can I be aggressive?"
Li Linfu wanted to say something else, but Li Tan simply said: "It doesn't matter, Qinghe county magistrate is so upright, I understand it, so it is indeed my responsibility."
Li Longji had been listening by the side before, and after seeing Li Tan admitting his fault so easily, he was a little strange.
He never intervened because he felt that Li Shizhi might not be Li Tan's opponent. You must know that even Li Linfu didn't have any advantage in competing with Li Tan, let alone Li Shizhi, who was inferior to Li Tan in every aspect. .
Didn't expect Li Tan to admit it so easily?
Li Longji didn't say anything, he always felt that Li Tan must have a backup.
So he saw Li Tan take off his waist card and throw it directly into the arms of Gao Lishi who was standing next to him, saying: "In this case, Duke Lao Bohai holds two positions."
Everyone present was confused by his move, even Gao Lishi didn't react.
Li Longji said angrily: "31 Lang, don't be willful!"
Li Shizhi immediately said from the side: "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness? Official positions are the state's public treasures, how can they be handed over privately?"
Li Tan turned his head and looked at him: "Can't you be blind to see so many people here? This is called giving and receiving in private?"
Li Shizhi didn't expect Li Tan to turn his face directly, so he was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to respond for a while.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, King Ning Li Tan is one of the few sensible people in the royal family. He is not only well-educated, but also gentle and polite. He has never bullied others.
So no one thought that one day Li Tan would curse like a rascal in the market.
Li Shizhi flicked his sleeves and said, "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!"
Li Tan sneered: "What? I have taken the blame and resigned. Isn't Qinghe county magistrate still satisfied? Is it necessary to abolish my throne to be reconciled?"
Even if Li Shizhi wanted to pursue Li Tan no matter how much he wanted, he didn't dare to speak after saying this.
There is only one possibility for the prince's throne to be abolished, and that is rebellion. If it is not a rebellion, no matter how big a mistake he makes, at most he will be reduced to the county king.
If Li Shizhi dared to respond to this sentence, it means that he wanted to rebel.
Li Linfu, who was watching the play at the side, felt... a bit cool.
He looked at Li Shizhi and sneered in his heart, you dare to provoke King Ning, as long as you can conclusively prove that he is guilty, that's all. If you tell the unconfirmed things, then wait for him to clean up.
Do you want to go at your pace?Just kidding, don't you know that King Ning is best at flipping tables?
Do you know now?Have nothing to say?
I have to say that Li Linfu still felt very uncomfortable when Li Tan threw the table, but if he united with him and saw him not playing cards according to the rules to deal with others, it would still feel quite cool.
Gao Lishi felt a little helpless holding the badge, His Royal Highness King Ning is really a little fox, this badge is just a proof that General Zuo Jinwuwei can enter and leave the palace at will.
With this, the commander of the Jinwu Guard can enter the palace to report to the emperor at any time.
However, this waist card is basically a waste to Li Tan. When did he need to report when he entered the palace?Isn't it basically just saying come?
If he really wants to resign, what should be given to him is not this waist card, but the seal hanging around his waist representing the identity of General Zuo Jinwuwei.
It's just that he didn't make a sound, he just turned his head to look at Li Longji, and decided to wait for Li Longji's order.
Li Longji was also taken aback by Li Tan's sudden outburst, and he couldn't help laughing when he recovered.
Sure enough, no matter how mature and capable he is, he is still a child, and he strikes at every turn. If this is not a child, what is it?
However, no matter when this kind of behavior is, probably only my parents will tolerate it.
So Li Longji tolerated Li Tan's behavior, and said majesticly but still intimately: "31 Lang, don't mess around, are you going to be a wrestler to death? Take it back quickly, and be careful next time and I will punish you! "
Li Shizhi's face turned green when he heard it from the sidelines. This time he won't be punished for such a serious situation. Will there be another time?Only ghosts believe there will be a next time!
However, apart from being a little helpless, Li Shizhi quickly accepted this result.
After all, it was not the first time that Li Longji was very tolerant of his favorite people, especially for Li Linfu and An Lushan. These two people were not good people from the beginning, so it was even more extreme.
Looking at it this way, Li Tan doesn't seem to have any other problems besides being a bit sloppy.
Li Shizhi accepted the result calmly. In fact, he just wanted to throw the blame away, as long as the responsibility for the ineffective firefighting was not on him.
After all, he is a newly promoted prime minister, and he was selected because Niu Xianke was ill and no one was available. His position is very unstable. If such a big incident happens, Li Linfu and the others will definitely not give up this opportunity to suppress him .
Although Li Shizhi had just faced Li Tan head-on, his hatred value with Li Tan was not that high, at least much lower than Li Linfu and An Lushan.
Now Li Tan is more concerned about how Li Longji will arrange Fan Yang's side.
So after both Li Shizhi and Li Linfu resigned, Li Tan directly asked, "Father, brother Yi...what should we do?"
Li Longji sighed: "Is there really no cure?"
Li Tan smiled bitterly: "Father, you also know that I don't know how to cure diseases at all, I just know how to make alchemy, so I still have to listen to the imperial doctor."
Li Longji thought so too, Li Tan must be inferior to the imperial physician in the palace in terms of medical skills, so he directly asked the imperial physician to be called over to inquire.
Li Tan was also pretending to listen, but what he didn't expect was that even the imperial physician didn't find out that An Lushan was poisoned!
Li Tan couldn't help observing the expressions of the imperial physician carefully, and found that the other two were very serious, and it could be seen from the eyes that they really didn't notice.
He didn't feel that these two imperial physicians were acting. After all, it was An Lushan who was favored in the palace, not An Qingzong. care about him.
And even if he paid a lot of money to serve the imperial doctor, he would not agree to this kind of thing. After all, if the news leaked out, they might not be able to eat and walk around with An Lushan being favored.
Li Tan was puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't say it out, for fear that after he said it, the imperial physicians would find a way to cure An Lushan.
After reading the pulse case, Li Longji confirmed that An Lushan would not be able to return to Fanyang in the near future, so he sighed, thought about it and said, "31 Lang, why don't you go to Aluoshan and ask him if he would like to return to Fanyang?" Are you willing to marry Rong Yi?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment: "Rong Yi?"
Gao Lishi on the side said, "Princess Rongyi."
Only then did Li Tan suddenly realize that An Qingzong had indeed married Princess Rongyi, but in history, when An Qingzong married Princess Rongyi was before An Lushan's rebellion.
After he married Princess Rongyi in the summer and settled in Chang'an, Anlu Mountain raised troops regardless of his life in the autumn of that year.
So An Qingzong was beheaded naturally, and even Princess Rongyi was executed.
He didn't have any idea about An Qingzong's handling, he just pitied Princess Rongyi.
She couldn't help but say nothing about the marriage, and she was implicated and lost her life.
When she was asked to marry An Qingzong, who asked her wishes?
Later, when An Lushan rebelled, did you check whether she had anything to do with her, and was he kept in the dark?
It's fine if you don't know, but now that you know the result, Li Tan is still very conflicted about the marriage between Rong Yi and An Qingzong.
It's just that he didn't have a good idea, he only knew that Li Longji had this idea mainly because he wanted to tie An Qingzong to the chariot of Datang completely through marriage.
And not everyone can become the princess.
But this method is naturally useful for loyal ministers, and loyal ministers will be very grateful and work harder.
For An Lushan and his son, who were born rebellious, it was just a cover to deceive Li Longji.
Li Tan thought of this and immediately said: "The princess will marry, and the brother-in-law will definitely agree, but... the wedding etiquette of the princess is complicated. If Fan Yang's side has really arrived, someone must sit in the town, so the brother-in-law let An Qingzong go back. If not, I'm afraid it's too late to get married."
Li Longji really meant this when he thought about it. He sighed after thinking for a while and said, "It seems that these two children are destined to each other, let's forget it for now."
Li Tanxin said that it is best not to have a relationship, and he is also a little worried. Li Longji has this idea now, but he can't achieve his goal due to time.
If An Qingzong really showed his strength in the future, and Li Longji thought of this incident again, I'm afraid Princess Rongyi still won't be able to escape this encounter.
Thinking about it this way, he thought about whether to secretly inform Princess Rongyi's father and let him choose a son-in-law quickly, and marry Princess Rongyi first.
As for Princess Rongyi, she might be another clan daughter... Li Tan said that he can only take one step at a time. After all, if he wants to say that An Lushan will rebel in the future, I am afraid no one will believe it.
We must know that An Lushan's rebellion at the beginning was almost irresistible, and he didn't listen to the orders of the central government. Someone told Li Longji that An Lushan would rebel, but he still didn't believe it, let alone now.
Li Tan returned to the palace with a long sigh, and after a while Zhu Xieli ran over and asked, "Has Li Shizhi joined you?"
Li Tan laughed and said, "What kind of participation is that? It's just a complaint."
Zhu Xieli didn't speak but just looked at him quietly, Li Tan had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, he can't touch me."
It's just that the matter of 40 weapons in the arsenal is a bit of a headache, and it's a huge expense all of a sudden. He seems to have seen the "grand occasion" where the Ministry of Household Affairs ordered the palace to stop work.
Zhu Xieli sighed: "You still have to be careful, the person who can still become the prime minister under Li Linfu's suppression is not an ordinary person."
Of course Li Tan knew this truth, he looked at Zhu Xieli with some doubts: "No, why does your tone sound a bit strange? What happened?"
Such a melancholy look doesn't look like Zhu Xieli.
After hearing this, Zhu Xieli became happy again, leaned over to kiss him and said with a smile: "Ah Tian really understands me, something happened, maybe I will go out with Dad in a few days."
Li Tan:? ? ? ? ? ?
He looked at Zhu Xieli in shock, is it really okay for you to say such an important thing in such an understatement tone?
Seeing Li Tan's staring eyes, Zhu Xieli couldn't help but hugged him, buried his face in his shoulder and said, "I don't want to leave you either."
Li Tan hugged him back, thought for a long time before saying: "You are the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, you cannot go without the permission of the imperial court."
Zhu Xieli said sullenly: "The imperial court will agree. Dad is not young. I haven't been in contact with the battlefield a few times. This time I have to go."
Although Zhu Xieli was a bit reluctant to part with Li Tan, he still didn't ask to stay. Leading troops to fight is the foundation of their clan. If they can't even do this, they can only be "raised" by the Tang Dynasty in the future. In the end, it will merge with Datang, and there will be no trace left.
Li Tan was a little confused, he really never thought that Zhu Xieli would go to the battlefield one day, the sadness of parting was far less than his worry about Zhu Xieli.
He was silent for a while before asking: "Where is it unstable again? Recently, it is said that it is a bit difficult to be out of Khitan and Xibu. It should be fine in other places."
However, Khitan and Xibu are nothing more than dishonest, and they haven't reached the point where they can do anything.
Zhu Xieli said, "It's Tubo."
He hesitated for a while before saying: "Tubo fought with the officers and soldiers in the Stone Fort, and the officers and soldiers were wiped out."
Li Tan was shocked, and quickly let go of Zhu Xieli, leaned back slightly and stared at him and asked, "What you said is true? Why didn't I get any news? No, the court hasn't even got any news yet!"
Zhu Xieli's eyes wandered, and he said in a low voice: "We...we have our news channel. If you don't believe me, wait for two days, and the battle report should arrive in Chang'an."
Li Tan immediately understood that they might have their own people over there. After all, the border is full of Hu people, and it is not surprising that there are one or two Hu people spies.
He also whispered, "This...you don't need to tell me."
Things like spies need to be kept secret. Although Zhu Xieli didn't say who the person they stayed there was, as long as they knew there was one, they could be spotted. This kind of information leak is very scary.
Zhu Xieli kissed him and said, "I believe you."
Except that the two of them have no bridal chamber, they are actually closer than a real couple.
Li Tan shared all the resources with him, and if it wasn't for the many things in the clan that he could not decide, he would not have kept them secret.
Li Tan sighed and said, "When will you leave?"
Zhu Xieli said, "Middle of next month at the latest."
Li Tan nodded, and thought about it carefully, thinking that within this period of time, he should have time to make Zhu Xieli a flexible yet defensive armor.
He looked at Zhu Xieli seriously and said, "You must take the knife I gave you. Don't worry about damage or anything. It's just a knife. As long as you come back safely, you can have more."
Zhu Xieli responded in a low voice and said, "I will take it with me, and I will think of you when I see it."
After the two got bored for a while, Li Tan reluctantly used his brains on the serious business, and couldn't help frowning and said: "In this way, it is almost certain that An Qingzong will return to Fan Yang."
Zhu Xieli nodded: "That's right, since Tubo is at war, it is necessary to stabilize Khitan and Xibu, whether it is Huairou or suppression, anyway, they can't make trouble, but... An Qingzong really Can you hold it down?"
Li Tan shook his head: "I don't think so. Although An Lushan is shameless and sinister, I have to say that An Qingzong is far behind him."
Just when Li Tan said that An Qingzong couldn't do it, An Lushan sent someone to invite him again.
Li Tan felt strange, he hadn't heard that An Lushan's condition had worsened in the past two days, or that the poison in his body seemed to be under control, so why did he look for him again?
Li Tan asked Zhu Xieli to wait for him in the mansion, changed his messed up clothes, and then went to An's mansion.
An Lushan's complexion is still not good-looking now, but the blackness on his face has gone a lot. After seeing it, Li Tan said very insincerely: "Brother Yi seems to have improved a little, and I think he will be safe in the near future. .”
An Lushan also felt a little happy after hearing this, but said sincerely: "Thanks to the elixir for my brother-in-law."
Li Tan laughed dryly, he didn't think the Healthy Pill had such an effect, it was probably written by An Lifan.
Thinking of this, he asked, "I don't know why Brother Yi called me here?"
An Lushan sighed and said: "Now that I'm sick, I can't go to Fanyang anymore. The saint has promised to let Dalang go to the town first, but I'm worried that Dalang is young and inexperienced, so I don't know if my righteous brother can assist Dalang Lang's people recommend?"
Li Tan felt very strange when he heard it. An Lushan had his own team of counselors, and the Hu people in the Northeast also supported him. Under such circumstances, if An Lushan wanted to help An Qingzong, I can just choose one of my retainers at will, why bother to ask him?
While he was suspicious, he smiled and said: "Brother Yi was joking, I don't have anyone to recommend, not to mention that Da Lang has been with Brother Yi all these years, and he has seen much more than me, Brother Yi Don't worry too much."
An Qingzong was more than ten years older than him, and An Lushan said that An Qingxu was young in front of him... Is this mocking him?
An Lushan sighed: "I don't know what my brother-in-law said? I'm just worried. It seems that Khitan and Xibu have been linked with Tubo. I have been on guard before, but I'm afraid Dalang won't be able to guard against it."
Is it Tubo again?
Li Tan looked at An Lushan calmly, suspecting that he had obtained information about Tubo's rebellion through some channel, otherwise he would not insist on mentioning Tubo at this juncture.
"Since that's the case, isn't there anyone on Yixiong's side?"
Li Tan originally wanted to say a few words and leave, but now he changed his mind and planned to say more.
Of course, An Lushan must be willing to disclose the news. At present, An Lushan is leading the topic little by little.
An Lushan said hesitantly: "In the past, there were quite a few candidates to handle government affairs, but if we really want to start a war with Khitan and Xibu, by then... Dalang is afraid..."
Li Tan immediately understood that An Lushan wanted a general who could help An Qingzong lead troops to fight.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, I heard An Lushan say: "I was very optimistic about what Ashina would do, but I didn't expect... hey..."
Li Tan said in his heart that this was indeed his intention. After the assassination of Li Linfu last time, although no more people were involved, Ashina's work must be unstoppable.
But all his evidence at that time proved that he had only had money transactions with the Green Sect, which was no different from the behavior of Mrs. Qing of Dali Temple. There was no way to prove that the time of the assassination was designed by him alone.
What's more, no matter where you look at it, when Ashina first arrived in Chang'an, she didn't have any deep hatred with Li Linfu, and she didn't have to take risks to do this.
As for saying that he was instructed by An Lushan, those who believe in this kind of statement are convinced, but those who don't believe it are dismissed as nonsense.
After all, the relationship between An Lushan and Li Linfu is not too tense, and Li Linfu is also responsible for An Lushan's success today.
If it weren't for Li Linfu's efforts to recommend him, An Lushan might not even have the chance to face the saint.
And An Lushan expressed his gratitude and admiration to Li Linfu in public more than once.
Everyone thought they were in the same group, even Li Shizhi thought so.
So in the end, Ashina's job was nothing more than being stripped of all his official positions, and he became a white man. There was no other punishment at all, and naturally there was no injury.
Since then, Ashina has been dormant for a long time, and now it seems that An Lushan wants him to come out of the mountain.
Li Tan always felt that Ashina's efforts would probably be unstoppable, but he might be able to work on Ashina's efforts.
After all, this person is also born rebellious. As a person who grew up with An Lushan, the two people had almost the same situation in the past. He thought that the abilities of the two were almost the same, but now the difference is so big, he doesn't believe it. Shi Nagan didn't have any thoughts in his mind.
If he really had no idea, he would not have directly killed An Lushan in order to support the puppet An Qingxu in history.
It's a pity that he is not as good as An Lushan, otherwise they wouldn't collapse so quickly.
Li Tan thought for a while and said: "If Ashina wants to come back, he can't make a big show, otherwise he will be targeted, and I'm afraid he will go to court again. It's better to have an opportunity that makes him have to come out, but now this opportunity It hasn't shown up yet, brother Yi, why don't you let him wait, or... Shall I talk to him?"
As soon as An Lushan heard this, he knew that there was something to be done about this matter. At least if Li Tan agreed, there was a high possibility that he would be let go by the sage.
He held Li Tan's hand very happily and said: "Thank you brother for that, Ashina grew up with me after all, now he is white and depressed all day long, I am very sad to see him , I just want to find him an errand."
Li Tan sighed: "Hey, it's okay to go back to Fan Yang. After all, Chang'an is deep in water, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at every position. I was too careless at the beginning. I should pave a way for him, but in the end I let him do it. The general of the Jinwu Guard, perhaps someone has been watching him since then."
An Lushan couldn't help but said angrily: "It must be so."
Li Tan patted the back of his hand reassuringly, took the opportunity to pull his hand out and said, "You don't have to bother, Brother Yi, it's better to cultivate yourself well, I'll figure out a solution for this matter."
After hearing this, An Lushan felt more at ease. Li Tan never promises anything easily, but he will definitely do what he promises.
Seeing that An Lushan was drowsy, Li Tan got up and said goodbye, and when he turned his head, he saw An Qingzong standing outside the door.
An Qingzong looked at Li Tan's expression full of hesitation, which made Li Tan quite amused, and he didn't know whether he couldn't hide it or deliberately caused Li Tan to ask questions.
However, Li Tan had a bad idea in his heart, he just refused to talk to him, and looked around, pretending he didn't see it.
When he was about to walk to the door, An Qingzong finally couldn't help but said: "Uncle, nephew has something unclear, please enlighten me."
Li Tan glanced at him in surprise, and said, "Just tell me."
An Qingzong then asked: "Uncle and Ashina Kugan have worked together before, I wonder if uncle knows about this person?"
Li Tan glanced at him in surprise and asked: "Ashina has been with your father for many years, don't you know?"
An Qingzong explained: "For many years, Ashina Gugan has been an official in other places, and he has not had much contact with Father. The former one came to join him, and it was the first time I saw him."
Li Tan understood, he looked at the gate of An Mansion and said: "This place is not a place to talk, you come with me first."
An Qingzong hurriedly followed him to the study of the palace, but also because the two residences were opposite each other, he couldn't walk a few steps.
When An Qingzong entered the study, he happened to see Zhu Xieli sitting by the window reading a book, and he couldn't help hesitating for a moment.
Li Tan leaned over to Zhu Xieli, took a look and said, "Have you changed the book?"
Zhu Xieli said calmly: "Well, I want to learn more about the geography of mountains and rivers. If you have guests, I won't bother you."
Zhu Xieli said hello to An Qingzong and left the study.
Well, his Do Not Disturb is to switch from the study to the bedroom.
After all, the two of them have less than a month to spend together, and Zhu Xieli is naturally unwilling to separate from Li Tan. He even started thinking about whether to tell his family that he will stay in the palace for the next month. up.
As for gossip...he doesn't care, but unless Li Tan doesn't care either.
Li Tan didn't know what Zhu Xieli was up to. At this moment, he looked at An Qingzong and asked, "If you don't know much about Ashina, do you know all about his past deeds?"
An Qingzong hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said: "I know a thing or two, this person acts rebelliously, and his thoughts are not right, I am worried..."
Li Tan nodded: "Your worries are very reasonable. When Ashina was able to become an official, he cheated the leader of the Xi Department. The Xi Department must regard him as a thorn in the flesh. If you go back alone, the Xi Department may just be on guard. , but if they know that Ashina Gugan also went to Fan Yang together, under the new and old hatred, they may rebel immediately."
An Qingzong was startled and angry at once: "Yes, I didn't expect this, Father...don't Father know? Why do you still do this?"
Li Tan then said: "Perhaps Brother Yi just wants you to practice, after all, too peaceful will not produce excellent generals."
An Qingzong did not speak, but the worry on his face could no longer be concealed.
Li Tan picked up the teacup and asked, "By the way, if you leave, who will take care of the brother-in-law?"
An Qingzong didn't understand why Li Tan asked such a question, looked up at Li Tan with some doubts and said, "Of course it's Erlang..."
Having said that, he suddenly realized.
