Li Longji was almost angry when An Lushan supported the prince, but he definitely did not dare to put Prince Li Heng in Heluo as the advice of some court officials to see if An Lushan would surrender after the army came, because what he feared most was not the rebels, but that Li Heng would turn around and force himself to abdicate with the support of such an army, just like he used to do to his father Ruizong Li Dan.

It is precisely because he has been on the throne far more than the emperors since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that he was particularly reluctant to let go of the chair. At this moment, he was even more glad that he did not have the impulse to personally fight and left Li Heng in Chang'an.

Therefore, when Yang Guozhong hurried to meet, presented Geshuhan's letter, and then added fire to the fire and said a lot of bad things about An Sishun, Li Longji was shocked. He had always been suspicious. The reason why he demoted Liu Youqiu and Zhang Shuo, who could be said to be from the Dragon Meritorious Minister, and alienated counselors like Wang Ju was because of his subconscious suspicion. Now, An Sishun and An Lushan did call him brothers in their early years. Although one was in the east and the other was in the west, the most important thing was that they were in charge of military power together. Now An Sishun is in Chang'an. If something really happened, wouldn't he be like letting a tiger beside his bed?

At this moment, Yang Guozhong made a furious sound at the right time: "Also, I suspect that the reason why An Qingzong and others were able to disappear was that someone would be informed."

Such an indecent statement finally made Li Longji make the final decision: "Immediately let Chen Xuanli lead his troops to An Sishun's residence and take him to the Censorate for interrogation first."

A general of the country who had been in the army in Longyou for more than 30 years was destined to end in the conversation between the king and his ministers. When Chen Xuanli received the order, he could not hide his shock and repeatedly confirmed Li Jingren who was delivering the order. Seeing that the other party smiled bitterly, he said that he could not help but fell silent.

As the only remaining military general and hero who had achieved great success in the Tanglong coup, Chen Xuanli was able to remain honored and favored until now because of caution and silence. Because if a general who commanded the imperial guards had his own will, he would not leave his post. Therefore, even if he knew that An Lushan's so-called support for the prince was just a trick, he could not come forward to persuade him.

For example, Gao Lishi, who has been loyal for many years, wasn't it because of yesterday's hard advice that the emperor dismissed the position of the eunuch and the guard general of the right prison guard by the emperor and rushed back to his private residence to reconsider the mistakes? Even he could appreciate it. Gao Lishi was not for the sake of just Li Heng, but to restore his reputation that was already in danger today. Does Li Longji understand that he could hardly take off his tyrant hat, but he still had to attack An Sishun, the former Longyou Jiedushi at this time?

Li Jingren saw Chen Xuanli's hesitation and immediately urged helplessly: "General, if there is an emergency in matters, please don't waste time. Otherwise, Your Majesty is angry now and even General Gao is blamed. Where will you and I have the best ending?"

Chen Xuanli sighed, nodded and turned around and left. Li Jingren stood there, and heard the constant response of generals and soldiers coming from outside, but he felt a little uncomfortable. It was not that he really had a good friendship with Gao Lishi, nor that he had received many valuable gifts from An Sishun, nor that he was quite knowledgeable about his knowledge of writing, but that he even saw the crisis hidden under the action of Li Longji when the matter was about to come. There was also the Geshuhan who had left the capital and did not think about how Henan would deal with An Lushan's offensive. He only knew that An Sishun had a trick behind him. Don't you know that he might also have this plot?

"Forget it, it's useless to think about so much..."

An Sishun's mansion was also granted by Li Longji, and was in the prime location of Qinrenfang, Dongcheng. When Chen Xuanli suddenly led hundreds of Northern Gate Guards to enter and surrounded the Shangshu Mansion, it immediately attracted many people to watch. Soon, the officials who also lived here also received news. However, An Sishun was transferred to the Minister of War as the governor of Longyou and moved to Chang'an for a long time. Not many people were familiar with him, and he was a Hu general, so few people had a friendship with him. Therefore, for a while, there were no high-ranking officials and nobles coming to inquire, and everyone avoided it for fear that they would not be able to do so.

Chen Xuanli looked at the closed door and wondered if he wanted to break in immediately. Finally, he decided to polite first and then soldiers. He personally went up and knocked on the door. The servants at the corresponding door said: "General Chen Xuanli, Longwu, will be ordered by His Majesty to summon Shangshu An."

Although it is used to be Xuanzhao, not to be imprisoned, the servant glanced at the imperial guards who surrounded the streets in front of the door and suddenly sneered: "I knew that sooner or later, my minister would be betrayed one by one on this day, and the treacherous minister who framed the loyal and good people was in trouble in the court. The world was simply blind. My minister was in Longyou for more than 30 years. He fought many wars with the Tubo people, made many contributions, and had many scars on his body. Now he was to be blamed because of An Lushan for nothing.

Chen Xuanli didn't expect that a servant who was in the sect could guess the whole story. Although he was calm on his face, his heart was heavy. Sure enough, he looked around and saw that many of the confidant generals around him were moved and sighed. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the emperor was really confused and forgot to scold the servant's bold and rude words.

The clerk seemed to be unable to suppress his complaints from the first one for a while, and then said coldly: "I am also confused. Even if you say these words to General Chen, I will report to my Secretary of State. If General Chen is willing, you might as well stay here. If you don't want to, you will listen to the emperor when you lead the troops in."

Chen Xuanli was stunned for a moment and saw the other party turn around and hurried in, opening the door there. But Chen Xuanli hesitated for a long time and did not follow him immediately. Although he stayed in Chang'an all year round, he knew all the good generals and brave generals in each border town. An Sishun and An Lushan were named the same surname and clan, but they started their business with military achievements. They fought fiercely with Tubo in Longyou for many years. They did have countless military achievements. They had never hesitated when they were transferred back to Beijing, which was completely different from An Lushan's rebel, Hua Xu. Now, what he can do is just to give An Sishun some decent last.

But just as he was thinking so, he suddenly heard a loud bang inside, and then thick smoke rolled. Faced with such a scene, Chen Xuanli's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to order his troops to break in immediately, he suddenly heard a loud shout from inside.

"The merits that have been fought over the past thirty years have been implicated by a rebel. The sky has no eyes, and the foolish lord is unrighteous. I, An Sisun, have any connection with the rebel An Lushan, and I will go to the Avici Hell Brother Shuhan after I die. Even if I turn into an unjust ghost, I will not let you go."

Chen Xuanli's scalp was numb and hesitated. He immediately shouted and rushed in. However, just after he crossed the threshold, he saw the mansion in front of him, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell and oily smell, which suddenly blocked the passageway that continued to enter. Judging from the fire, he didn't know that there were tinder oil everywhere, but he didn't bring any fire-fighting equipment at all. Even if he was willing to adjust all these imperial guards to put out the fire, he would definitely not be able to put out the fire in a short time in this season when things were dry.

Even though he thought so, when the fire broke out on all sides of An Sishun's mansion, there were still endless generals and soldiers rushing in to put out the fire. Some were worried about their responsibilities, some were afraid of the emperor's punishment, and some were angry because of An Sishun's words. Chen Xuanli got a more uneasy news from a person who was angry and found his confidant.

"What did you say? Just one hour before I arrived here by the imperial edict, An Sishun suddenly dismissed a large number of servants and maids. Do you think this is true?"

"General, how dare I say anything false? Someone saw it with his own eyes, and it was strange at that time."

So the news has been leaked long ago? The shrill shouting in the fire just now, is it An Sishun himself? If not, where has the people gone?

Chen Xuanli's head hurts a little, and finally realized that he was ordered to do such a thing, but now he has made such a mistake. Moreover, Li Long's reputation has basically been hit by this blow, and he is afraid that he will be implicated. If he is gone, who will these Northern Gate Guards fall into? Could it be that a petty person like Yang Guozhong take over?

On the official road west of Chang'an City, An Sishun, who had only two followers, looked back at Chang'an City, where he had been staying for several months, finally withdrew his gaze and rode forward without any nostalgia. No matter what his appearance or past is, his clothes are all very different from before. At this moment, he thought of the excuse of dismissing his maids and entrusting his family to Du Youlin to settle down. For some reason, he felt very at ease. Perhaps it was because this young junior dared to be so bold, perhaps because he was really thinking about the old subordinates of Longyou, or perhaps because he did not want to die in Chang'an City in vain and became a wisp of unjust soul under the scoundrel's butcher knife.

However, on this far away road, he couldn't help but think of Wang Zhongsi in the distance.

"Military Wang, I just hope you can be safe and sound."

Don't die in vain at the hands of that foolish monarch

When An Sishun dismissed his servants, set fire at home, and at the same time, the news of the resentment of the words reached Li Longji's ears, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had suffered from various bad news for several days, was so angry that he was trembling. If the person who apologized for more than 40 years, Chen Xuanli, who was already aged, wanted to find something to smash it over and vent his anger.

"Okay, okay, I have seen through it. These Hu people are all unfamiliar wolf cubs."

Everyone in the hall was silent, but they didn't say anything. After scolding, Li Longji pointed at the many eunuchs, and then shouted sternly: "Bian Lingcheng, please rush to Geshuhan's army today to urge him to attack with all his strength and be sure to take down the rebel An Lushan."

By the way, look at Geshuhan, don't let this person be as kind as An Lushan An Sishun
