Chapter 1130: Loyal officials and good generals cannot be less
Since the New Year, Du House in Xuanyangfang has been deserted and bleak. At that time, Du Shiyi was the most popular, with the three towns in front of the gate, the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and the third rank of the Central Secretariat, whenever he returned from the border town, the huge alley in front of the gate would be blocked tightly, with ink rolls everywhere, and countless visitors. Nowadays, such a scenery has never returned, and even when the servants and maids at home privately discuss the prosperous scenes in the past, they couldn't help but sigh. Seeing An Lushan holding up the flag high and swept across the entire Hebei Road, they were worried about the safety of their masters and mistresses, but they were also indignant, but this was not the most important thing in the past two days.
"Where is hot water, why is it so slow?"
When Qiu Niang held a maid and came out to urge her in a hurry, a maid came in at the door of the yard and rushed in. She was busy sending hot water in. When the maids waiting in the yard saw the door of the house closed again with Qiu Niang entering, they couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts were a little up and down. After all, this was Song Jinxi's first childbirth. Although his biological mother rushed over from Songshan early, Heluo's situation is tight now. Tongguan is said to have blocked the avenue and people from Heluo are not allowed to take refuge in Guanzhong. Why don't people worry? But the emperor is a grand ceremony today, and Du Youlin has to go. Until now, people have not come back.
In the room, Song Jinxi, under the repeated comfort of her mother and Qiu Niang, gritted her teeth and held the severe pain, but her heart was divided at least half on her father and husband. I don’t know how long it took, and when there was a knocking sound in front of the window, then Du Youlin was anxiously yelling. She couldn’t help but feel relieved, and her whole body was tense. At this moment, she heard Qiu Niang’s surprise shout, “I saw the head”, and she couldn’t help but get up with the last bit of strength. It took a long time, and a messy sound in the room, followed by a loud baby cry.
Du Youlin, who rushed back, couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard the child's cry. When Qiu Niang packed up her cradle, carried the child out for him to see, congratulations happily. Although he had just given a son, he was ecstatic, but then he thought of the scene at today's court meeting. The joy of the child was suddenly diluted. He gently stroked his son's cheek, fiddled with the sticky hair, and then said softly: "Big Mother, Jin Xi and this child are here to ask you."
"Don't worry, little husband, I'm there." Qiu Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "My wife has been worried about Songshan's Thatched Cottage. Is there no news yet?"
Du Youlin shook his head gently, but then raised his head and said, "You told your wife that the third uncle has gone in person. He is the most calm and calm person. He will definitely be able to make proper arrangements. His father-in-law will be safe."
The mother and son were safe, but they had a major matter. When Du Youlin returned to the study, he focused on the shocking change in the court today. Ge Shuhan had just left. In one night, everyone in civil and military officials knew about the news that Li Longji summoned Li Hengxuan to the palace and then placed under house arrest. Moreover, An Lushan's manifesto was also known to everyone. Therefore, many officials today advised Li Longji not to fall into the traitor's plan. Even Yang Guozhong said a few words to Li Heng for the first time, but the result was that Li Longji was furious and left the ministers.
Thinking of the scene when the ministers were left there, Du Youlin couldn't help but snorted: "The Unscrupulous Lord"
However, he was not like many ministers who could only beat his chest and stamp his feet behind his back. Because he had just intercepted another important message, he could not delay any delay. Even the other place he was going to was able to do it for him. There seemed to be very few servants in Du House in Xuanyangfang, and he did not often visit him, but they were all exquisite people left by his father. Soon, he summoned a servant and ordered him to go to his grandfather Wang Yuanbao to report good news. He also quietly took Yu Jiang out.
When the messenger hurried to the famous mansion in Chang'an City, Wang Yuanbao was also discussing the constitution with his two sons. When he learned that he had a grandson, he immediately smiled. When the servant took out another letter from his arms and delivered it, he calmed down his joy and took it thoughtfully.
"Grandma, what did you say in the letter? Is there any news about Marshal Du?" Wang Yuanbao's second son Wang An was always a little scared of Du Shiyi's brother-in-law, so he habitually called Marshal Du.
"What we are talking about is another thing." Wang Yuanbao's expression changed a few times. Then he folded the letter carefully and put it in his arms. He rewarded the messenger and ordered him to go back and tell Du Youlin to follow suit. After the person left, he looked at his two sons and said, "Youlin means that Your Majesty is suspicious now, and even the prince is not spared because of the treacherous plan. We should not stay in Chang'an City anymore, but go south to the south to avoid it. After His Majesty confirmed that An Lushan rebelled, he would kill An Qingzong, Liu Luogu and others, but who would have thought that such living people would disappear without a trace. Although the city is searched, they still disappeared. I don't know what the trouble will be like in the future.
"Leave Chang'an?" Wang Xian was a little surprised. Wang's family was in Guanzhong. Although there were industries outside the country, they could not lose the root. He had to object, but when he found his father's extremely solemn expression, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Can An Lushan's rebels still attack Chang'an?"
"Youlin said in the letter that his father had already responded to this, but in order to prevent it, and in addition, my Wang Family Tree attracted a lot of wind, it was better to avoid it just in case."
Since the tone was agreed, Wang Yuanbao ordered his two sons not to leak news, but he announced that he would go to wash Du Youlin's newborn son three, but secretly arranged it in full swing.
Since An Lushan rebelled, Yang Guozhong has no time to stare at the Du family. In his opinion, An Lushan is taking his own life and his generals are just being held back by him. He will definitely turn against him whenever he has the chance. So, while curbing Shuofang's troops, he strongly recommended Ge Shuhan to Luoyang to preside over the defense, and carried out a major purge on officials of the An Lushan group in the court, and arranged his own people. As for the unexpected unlucky prince Li Heng, he not only did not think he was happy, but he secretly complained that Li Longji was looking for trouble. Yang Yuyao has no son yet, so it doesn't matter who is in the position of crown prince, so why bother to be anxious for a while?
He hates Li Heng and never wants to give Li Heng a chance to supervise the country. But if he causes chaos in the people's and military spirits again because of killing Li Heng, wouldn't it be a problem?
Yang Guozhong was still trying hard to figure out the emperor's attitude of leaving, hoping to try to save it, but the servants in the family rushed over and said that they were about to arrive in Tongguan, Geshu Han, who was about to arrive in Tongguan, ordered someone to send him a letter in a hurry. He was very surprised. After reading the content of the letter, he frowned.
Geshuhan actually said in the letter that he intercepted An Lushan's messenger on the road and received a secret letter from An Lushan to An Sishun. The letter asked An Sishun to be his inner support. If he could conquer Chang'an, he would definitely be named king.
"Come on, prepare, I'm going to Xingqing Palace to meet His Majesty."
At the same time, An Sishun also welcomed an uninvited guest at home. When the other party took off the hood, he vaguely felt familiar. After someone called for his name, he was even more surprised. Because it was Du Youlin, the youngest son of his old boss Du Shiyi.
"The matter is urgent, I can only tell a long story. If the Secretary of State still remembers the kindness of Grandpa treating others back then, please listen to my advice and leave Chang'an immediately. An Lushan rebelled, others will not remember that you had cut off your robe and had no connection with him. They will only think that you originated from the same clan and must have colluded with each other. This time, King Rong was appointed as the marshal, but it was just a false title. Brother Shuhan, who was appointed as the deputy marshal, has always been disagreeable with you, and because of Yang
Guozhong's relationship took away your Longyou Jiedushi, drove you to Chang'an, and offered you a high-profile Minister of War. Now, taking advantage of the rebellion of An Lushan, it is said that he had just sent a secret letter to Yang Guozhong, saying that it was intercepted from An Lushan. Now, An Lushan's eldest son An Qingzong and Princess Rongyi Liu Luogu and others who stayed in Chang'an are all gone without a trace. Your Majesty is angry. As long as Yang Guozhong instigates, he may attack the Secretary of War."
An Sishun didn't expect Du Youlin to come quietly to say this to himself. He stared at the son of the former boss who was already Ang Zang Youth in front of him, and was silent for a while before he said lightly: "I, An Sishun, went to Helong to join the army in the early years of Kaiyuan, and took one step at a time. With his military achievements, he was today. If he escaped because of An Lushan's rebellion, wouldn't he be the name of a rebel? I appreciated Du Langjun's kindness. If I die, die. I don't believe it. There is no justice in the Tang Dynasty."
"The Tang Dynasty was not fair in the world." Du Youlin couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wang made great achievements in military affairs, but he moved to the left because of the villain's words. His father was devoted to the country and did not hesitate to blow the cold wind and eat sand in the north of the desert for so many years, but he was waiting for a famous cruel official like Luo Xibing. Over the years, there were Li Linfu before and Yang Guozhong who was in trouble with the country and chaos in politics. When did he lose more people who died unjustly and demoted? Let me tell you a heart-wrenching truth. Like a loyal minister like Shangshu, the Tang Dynasty cannot lose one more."
An Sishun never expected that Du Youlin would say such words to him. After Wang Zhongsi was demoted, he and Geshuhan were both in charge of their own rulers. They were originally at peace, but immediately followed Yang Guozhong and he had to come to Chang'an to be a famous minister of the Ministry of War in an environment that he was completely unfamiliar with. If he wanted to be angry, he was not angry in his heart? Moreover, how could he be willing to bear the reputation of a false rebel? What would the troops in Longyou look at, and what would the soldiers and civilians in Longyou look at?
Seeing An Sishun's face changing, obviously struggling with what to make a decision, Du Youlin lowered his eyelids and whispered: "As far as I know, Your Majesty sent a group of people to Lizhou after putting the prince under house arrest yesterday."
Even though he was a general, An Sishun was also quick-witted. He came back to his senses and exclaimed in a flash: "Is it because of the rumors outside that His Majesty refused to let Marshal Wang go?"
Du Youlin did not answer, but An Sishun's heart had completely sunk. He gritted his teeth hard and said word by word: "My heart is so chaotic right now. Since Youlin's nephew took the risk to remind me, what are your ideas? As far as I know, the gates of Chang'an City are strictly checking. If I just take my family out of the city like this, I am afraid that there will be pursuers only a few miles away from the city."
Since An Sishun finally let go, Du Youlin also relaxed. He immediately bent his lips and smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I dare to come, I will naturally make your family safe. My mother has a house in Chang'an City that no one knows, and it is just right for the Shangshu's family to be settled. It will be easy for the Shangshu to leave the city alone. My father once told me that among the generals of Longyou, Guo Yao came from the generals of generations, and although he was brave, he was not enough to guard one side. The Shangshu had a loyal and righteous spirit, and his brave military strategy was impeccable. It could ensure peace in one side. If the Shangshu was in Longyou, even if Tubo planned to plot against Helong, it would not be afraid."
When An Sishun heard that Du Shiyi actually commented on him like this, she felt excited and unfair in her heart.
"I have to meet Marshal Du and Marshal Wang one after another to have today. I remember that after the chaos in Mobei, Du's blood letter was sent to Chang'an, I also attached a statement that An Lushan had ulterior motives, but no one believed me. Now he is really rebelling, but it is better to blame me. If I send this life to the hands of a tyrant monarch, I will feel unpleasant and I will listen to you."
