Chapter 1 Xuzhou Covenant
Tang Chao returned to Chang'an and sent a letter to report on the situation in the country. Everything was normal, and Tang Chao was relieved.
Li Bai then presided over a grand wedding as prime minister and master of ceremonies. The Turkic princess Yelu Jinzhi and the Uighur princess Guli Zhenluo were married to the Tang Dynasty at the same time.
The Tang Dynasty immediately established Princess Jinzhi as the Queen of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Lian, Li Wenjiang, Guli Zhenluo and Li Xiuyun (Princess Xinling) as the four noble concubines. They held a banquet for the officials and the whole country celebrated.
??…
That night, when the Tang Dynasty wanted to have sex with the two princesses, he went to the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, An Qingxu, the eldest son of An Lushan, wants to see you."
On the way back to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty had already reviewed countless court memorials and listened to countless intelligence, and knew that the current situation was already very tight.
During the time when he went to the Northern Alliance alone, Anlushan stepped up the pace of expansion and took most of the land except Guanzhong as his own. Not only did he have excellent cavalry, but he also had sufficient finances. He also recruited troops again. The country was strong; Li Heng was naturally not idle, and had controlled many remote areas in these days. Although he did not dare to confront An Lushan's cavalry, generals such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi helped him train nearly a hundred soldiers. Wan's infantrymen went everywhere to win over the old Tang Dynasty troops and wanted to reorganize the country. Although Li Longji insisted not to give up the throne to the crown prince Li Heng, he actually recognized Li Heng as his only successor. Naturally, Yong Wang Li Lin was not willing to accept it. There is a large army of soldiers and horses in Jiannan, but after all, the contradictions have not been exposed yet.
During this period, the New Tang Dynasty mainly faced the threat from Anlu Mountain. Sun Xiaozhe led the cavalry to constantly provoke at Yangping Pass. However, Zhuan Ren and Lan Ying and other guards guarded the Tang Dynasty's orders and did not easily switch to fight. , coupled with the fact that Tongguan had not been broken, Sun's troops could not attack with all their strength, which caused constant friction between the two sides, but the real war did not start.
…
"Let him come in right now,"
With an intuition, the Tang Dynasty knew that An Qingxu's request for an audience at such a time must have something extremely important.
When An Qingxu walked in, his eyes wandered everywhere, and he saw Princess Zhenluo at a glance. His eyes immediately stood still and seemed to be dull: "Oh my god, Tang Dynasty, where did you find such a beautiful woman?"
Princess Zhenluo was furious and quickly turned behind the curtain. Naturally, she didn't want to see such a rude man.
Tang Chao was very unhappy. He looked at An Qingxu and saw that he had big ears and a pair of protruding bull's eyes, shining with an evil light. Princess Zhenluo turned around for a long time, and his eyes stared blankly, thinking of As my history teacher once said when he was bragging, this guy later killed his own father, An Lushan, and became a ruthless person who refused to recognize his relatives.
"Who are you? You dare to call His Majesty by his name?" Li Bai next to him pressed his hand on the scabbard of his sword.
An Qingxu finally recovered from his daze: "Oh, haha, needless to say, I must be older than him. When a eldest brother asks a brother, he doesn't call his brother by his name."
"I think you are impatient," Li Bai finally pulled out the Longquan sword and was about to chop off his head.
But the Tang Dynasty stopped him: "Minister, please wait a moment."
An Qingxu then raised his head and looked at the Tang Dynasty with a look of horror in his eyes. Then he raised the corner of his mouth and snapped his fingers: "I thought the emperor of the New Tang Dynasty was so great, but it turned out that he was just a rabbit boy who sang operas. Pretty much the same," he said and burst into laughter.
A kind of surprise arose in Tang Chao's heart. At first glance, this person's martial arts was just the peak of An Jin. Although it was powerful, he was not a figure in the transformation realm after all, so he was not afraid of it. However, his self-confidence was indeed worth it. Appreciate.
No matter who it is, in front of masters like Li Bai and Tang Chao, their momentum will be greatly shocked, but this person turns a blind eye, what is the reason?
"Really?" Tang Chao smiled, but suddenly, a sharp arrow seemed to be shot out of his eyes.
"Ah..." An Qingxu screamed strangely and held his eyes with both hands.
Li Bai was horrified to see that blood was constantly flowing out from between the fingers of this man's hands. Could it be that in this moment, Tang Chao fired a hidden weapon.
But Tang Chao's hands were clearly placed on his knees.
"You...you actually plotted against me," An Qingxu finally took away his hand, revealing his blood-soaked eyes, and looked at Tang Chao with blurred vision.
"This is a lesson to you. Your father, An Lushan, has failed to discipline him well. I am here to discipline him."
"You...you didn't even move your hands. What kind of plot did you use?" An Qingxu was most surprised by this.
"What I use is not a hidden weapon, but an eye knife, an upright Kung Fu."
An Qingxu was just a fool, but Li Bai next to him was really shocked when he heard this: It turned out that the internal power of the Tang Dynasty, after these years of battles, had broken through to the point where it could kill the enemy with its thoughts.
"What kind of kung fu is that? It's so magical,"
"Okay, I have already punished you for your rudeness. Now you can tell me your reason for coming."
An Qingxu then chuckled twice: "Yes, yes, I... no... I came here this time to find out that you held a wedding and married two princesses who are like gods, so I am going to celebrate it." of,"
"Congratulations, when did I send you an invitation?"
"This... this is a small matter. I'm just asking you, the one just now must be one of your princess wives. You are really blessed. Can you give it to me..."
crackle.
Four loud slaps, Tang Chao's hand seemed to move, but it didn't seem to move at all.
Then, An Qingxu screamed like a killing pig, his cheeks were extremely swollen, and he was even fatter than the pigs that were filled with air after being killed: "What are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"
"Believe it or not, I will chop off your head immediately,"
This sentence was very effective. An Qingxu suddenly became very obedient and knelt down with a normal voice: "Your Majesty, please don't kill me. I am an imbecile. I am wrong. Isn't that okay?"
Tang Chao and Li Bai looked at each other and smiled, never expecting that the prince established by An Lushan would be such a treasure.
In the heart of the Tang Dynasty, he had begun to doubt whether the records in the history books for more than a thousand years were all wrong. How could this boy have the courage to kill his own father and ascend to the throne of Yan with a pustule?
"Get up, sit down,"
An Qingxu sobbed and wiped his tears and snot with his sleeves, sat down, and looked at the tent behind Tang Chao with dishonest eyes: "Your Majesty, why are you like my father, who beat me whenever we meet? I am so hateful. ?”
"Tell me, are you really here to congratulate me on my wedding?" Tang Chao asked again.
"Yes, but before he left, my father said that he wanted me to bring a letter of credence. My father also said that if someone else brought it, your majesty would definitely not accept it. But as the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, your majesty If you read it, you will probably accept it,"
As he spoke, he took out a letter of credence sealed with fire paint from his body and presented it to the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty tore it open and saw that it was indeed An Lushan's letter. There was a gold seal on the bottom with the words "The Royal Treasure of Dayan", which was the jade seal of An Lushan. The meaning of the letter was that he had learned that the Tang Dynasty had formed an alliance in the north. I was very happy to say that I was successful, but at the end I got to the key point. The world had been in chaos for a long time, and people wanted to meet with the Tang Dynasty in Xuzhou to discuss alliance matters.
Of course the letter was written by a Confucian scholar under An Lushan, but the meaning must be An Lushan's.
The Tang Dynasty read the letter for a long time and handed it into Li Bai's hands.
The faces of both of them were very solemn. They both knew the fact that An Lushan could no longer hold back.
"Come here, take Prince Dayan to the State Guesthouse to rest, and assign three beauties from Han Chinese to serve him."
Li Bai quickly gave the order.
When An Qingxu heard this, he immediately beamed: "Thank you, Minister, I have long wanted to see the beauties of your Chang'an. They must be croaking and croaking." With a grunt, he followed the entourage away.
Tang Chao waited for An Qingxu's figure to disappear, and then asked: "Xiangguo, in your opinion, is this person really that stupid?"
Li Bai reported back: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this man has inherited Nai's father's funny appearance, and he is very clear in his heart. What he did is actually asking you to look down on him and not kill his head."
"When the two countries are fighting, how could I kill the envoy?"
"This is uncertain, but according to detailed information, this man is just like An Lushan, suspicious and cruel by nature, and has made countless enemies. The reason why An Lushan sent him as an envoy this time is because he knew that this The guy molested a noble concubine in his harem, so he was punished,"
"There is such a thing," the Tang Dynasty was shocked.
"It's absolutely true that the Hu people are wild and hard to change. When they meet the beauties from the Central Plains, they don't care about any ethics and morals. They molest the beauties in Anlushan's harem. This was not a big deal at first, but this matter was caught by the opposition in the Anqing Xu Dynasty. With the evidence and publicity, An Lushan had to punish him. It was a blessing that he was not deprived of his position as prince.
"It seems that he doesn't pay attention to anyone. It's not because of his high martial arts skills, but because of his natural wolf nature. My opinion is similar to yours. This person's disguised talent is extremely high. It seems that he is really He is very afraid that I will kill him, but I will definitely not kill him. What do you think of this?"
"Your Majesty is wise, New Tang Dynasty is a big country in the Central Plains, etiquette must not be abolished,"
"Then, Yichen, let me see, An Lushan personally sent his prince to deliver a letter to form an alliance this time. What is his real purpose?"
"I'm afraid he wants to stabilize us and kill Li Heng first,"
"Yes, that's not entirely true. If you think about it, he hasn't conquered Tongguan yet. What he fears most is that I will unite with the Tongguan guard general Shu Han to keep Tongguan. Of course he doesn't know that brother Shuhan has already taken orders from me. If I, the New Tang Dynasty, take control of Tongguan and threaten Luoyang at any time, he will have trouble sleeping and eating."
