Chapter 37
Di has been in the Prince's Mansion for four or five years, and now she seems to be the most powerful woman in the Prince's Mansion, whether it is the Prince's harem or the ministers who are attached to the Prince, they all obey Zhang Liangdi.Li Tan looked on coldly, Zhang Liangdi was very ambitious, maybe after getting rid of Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi, he still had to be careful that this woman would not become the second Wu family.
"She can't make any waves right now. The biggest enemy now is Anlu Mountain. Fan Yang seems not to be stable/stable recently." Although Li Chu and Li Tan are not siblings of the same mother, Li Chu has been very fond of Li Qin and sister Li Tan since childhood. The younger brother is quite caring, so Li Tan is also grateful to this elder brother, but it is not appropriate to tell Li Chu about his joint venture with An Lushan.
Li Chu nodded: "Although Yang Guozhong has said that the saint An Lushan wants to rebel these days, the saint does not believe it. I am afraid that Yang Xiangguo is not so kind because he cares about my Tang Dynasty. He is just afraid of the power of An Lushan. Great, if he is defeated by An Lushan at that time, the power accumulated by Yang Guozhong will be wiped out."

Li Tan rubbed his fingers, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, and Li Chu didn't see it.Whether it is Yang Guozhong, Gao Lishi or An Lushan, they are just pawns in his chess game. If Li Tan wants them to live, let them live. If he wants them to die, they will not live a moment longer.Li Tan asked someone to send Li Chu away, and then turned his head to look at the majestic Daming Palace City. The afterglow of the setting sun was spreading on the city tower, and the dazzling gold was mixed with a touch of ink. The wind and rain were approaching, but the person in the Hanyuan Hall I don't know.
In November of the 14th year of Tianbao, a cold wind swept across the entire western capital, and the raging fire ignited the fear of the people in Chang'an City.On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 14th year of Tianbao, Tiance Mansion, the eastern capital, was captured by the Anlushan rebels. Li Tanyan, who had returned to Chang'an from that battle, saw that the Spike Army was in dire straits.Xuanzong was furious when he heard this, and beheaded generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi successively.Although Xuanzong felt sorry for the Tiance Mansion, but after listening to the words of Gao Lishi and other courtiers, he only wrote a brief condolence letter, asking Li Chengen, the commander of the Tiance Mansion, to gather the remnants of the army and continue to resist the Spike Army in the rear. Li Chengen received this letter Finally, he punched hard at the case table, and the case table shattered in response. Zhu Jianqiu, who was standing beside Li Chengen, frowned and remained silent. He regretted that he could not stop King Jianning from entering Tiance Mansion to resist the Spike Army in time.Later, under the advice of Prince Li Heng and others, Xuanzong used the general Ge Shuhan to Luoyang to suppress the rebellion, and Ge Shuhan to Luoyang defeated the Spike Army led by An Qingxu, making it impossible for An Lushan to enter Tongguan.In May of the 15th year of Tianbao, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong wrote to Xuanzong to let Ge Shuhan take the initiative to send troops to attack the Spike Army, while General Guo Ziyi and others believed that Tongguan should be defended. Xuanzong finally listened to Yang Guozhong's words and ordered Ge Shuhan to send troops.Ge Shuhan, who was in Tongguan, sighed deeply after receiving the decree, and wept bitterly. In June of the 15th year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan led an army of 20 to fight Spikes, and only less than [-] were left. Ge Shuhan had no choice but to surrender to Anlu Mountain, Tongguan fell, and the last line of defense in the western capital Chang'an collapsed.
In the same month, Xuanzong left the western capital in a panic and headed for the middle of Sichuan. When Mawei Station was resting, Prince Li Heng launched a mutiny. Originally belonged to Yang Guozhong's Shence Army, and used the Shence Army to protect Xuanzong comprehensively.
Standing outside the camp, Li Tan looked at the Shence Army facing his Jianning Tiewei holding a gun, curled the corner of his mouth, and showed a sneer: I didn't expect Gao Lishi to be smarter than Yang Guozhong, and he knew how to take advantage of others' dangers.
"Eunuch Gao must have found the wrong person. The people surrounding the place where the sage resides are the crown prince, not me, King Jianning. Eunuch Gao brought so many magical troops to the king's tent, and they fought against each other. This king is welcome. Report to His Majesty the Crown Prince that Eunuch Gao is taking power and threatening the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Eunuch Gao cannot afford such a crime." Li Tan stood with his hands behind his back, looking condescendingly at Gao Lishi who was guarded by the Shence Army in the center.
Gao Lishi raised his hand and clenched it tightly in the void. He was not afraid of Li Tan's threat, because he also had a bargaining chip in his body: "King Jianning was joking, how dare this old slave fight with King Jianning? The slave is ordered by the sage to ask King Jianning for something."
Li Tan raised his eyebrows: "What is Eunuch Gao wanting to ask for?" Gao Lishi said he was asking for something for Xuanzong, but in fact Xuanzong has no power and power now, so how can he have any ability to bargain with him.The Shence Army on the opposite side of the Jianning Iron Guard belonged to Gao Lishi. Even though Gao Lishi used the name of escort, everyone knew that the Shence Army no longer loyal to the Li family.
Gao Lishi didn't care that Li Tan exposed him, he laughed and said, "The life of a saint."
"Here we should go to discuss with the Crown Prince!" Li Tan cast a gouged glance at Gao Lishi, he has always hated Gao Lishi, when he was going to take Li Qin back to the court, if Gao Lishi and Li Linfu hadn't joined forces to stop him, Li Qin would not have died Tibet.He hated Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, but he hated Gao Lishi the most.Li Tan dropped these words and turned around to return to the tent. He was unwilling to communicate with Gao Lishi for a moment, but when he was about to enter the tent, Gao Lishi's piercing voice came into Li Tan's ears again. .
"If His Highness is only King Jianning, this old slave will naturally ask the prince for it, but His Highness is not just King Jianning. After thinking about it, this old slave can only ask King Jianning for it."
Li Tan clenched his fists suddenly. To outsiders, Gao Lishi's words might not be clear, but to him, every word Gao Lishi said was threatening.Did even Gao Lishi know about Jiu Tian?Li Tan's heart sank, Jiutian's secrets had been exposed too much, Li Fu and others would not tell them if they strictly guarded Jiutian's secrets, the only one who could tell it was Li Daitao, who was not the original Jiutian's person.
Imam and Wuming, their ambitions are bigger than what Li Tan thought.
Li Tan turned around slowly, looking at Gao Lishi who stood at a low place but raised his head and looked directly at him.The anger rising in Li Tan's eyes gradually calmed down, he had to agree to Gao Lishi's request now, because he was going to Daming Palace to see what the Imam and Wuming beside An Lushan were fighting for.
"My lord promises you," Li Tan untied the jade token he was carrying and threw it to Gao Lishi, "Take this thing to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Since this lord promised you his life, then I won't let him go easily." Die at the hands of anyone!"
Gao Lishi took the jade tablet, cupped his hands and thanked Li Tan: "I understand."
The old emperor leaning on the couch opened his eyes slightly when he heard the familiar footsteps, Gao Lishi approached Xuanzong respectfully, helped the old emperor up, wiped his tears, and said to Xuanzong: "His Royal Highness, All the soldiers have already been controlled, and Master Chen Xuanli can't help. The old slave can only get some magical soldiers from Yang Xiangguo's hands, but they can't match the strength of His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness just told the old slave that he is on behalf of the sage Qingjun , Saint, you don’t have to worry.”
"On the side of the Qing emperor?" Xuanzong's haggard hands clenched Gao Lishi's wrist, and he repeated these three words over and over again. At the last time, he suddenly opened his eyes and laughed loudly, "What a Qing emperor! He even I want to get rid of my beloved concubine together, is this also the side of Qing Jun?! He is clearly forcing me, forcing me to give way to him, isn't it! Isn't it!"
Gao Lishi didn't dare to answer, and he couldn't answer either. Although Xuanzong was getting old, how could Xuanzong, who was well versed in power and tactics, fail to see through the prince's mind.However, Xuanzong was not an ordinary father, and Li Heng was not the son of an ordinary family. Xuanzong failed to understand Li Heng's covetousness for the throne, nor did he notice Li Heng's inner fear of having no power. He lived tremblingly under the pressure of the government, and now he finally got rid of the two people he feared the most. Li Heng tasted the sweetness of power and began to become greedy and arrogant.And the driving force behind all this is actually the seemingly unambitious Jianning King Li Tan!

Yang Qingyue watched Yang Yifei take out the Immortal Folding Sword hidden in the Liuting Qin box, and waved it a few times in his hand. After Yang Yifei put the Immortal Folding Sword back into the scabbard, the eldest son of Changgemen who had been silent all this time finally spoke: "Are you really going?"
Yang Yifei nodded: "A man should stand up for the country. At this time, the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, and the disciples of various sects in the rivers and lakes are fighting against the rebels. I, Changgemen, claim to be loyal to the country, so how can I just sit idly by."
Yang Qingyue knew that Changgemen could not stay out of this war, but the news from Zhou Song a month ago made Yang Qingyue and Yang Yifei also feel that the situation was urgent.
"Did Mr. Taibai say something at King Yong?" A month ago, Zhou Song sent a letter saying that the supplies for relief victims brought by the six shopkeepers of the Jiangnan Road Chamber of Commerce were hijacked. After verification, it turned out to be the son of King Yong, Xiangyang King Li Yu. What the men under his command did, later Zhou and Song Dynasty found out a bigger secret - King Xiangyang had been persuading King Yong to take advantage of the chaos to support himself, but King Yong did not object.The current situation in the world is not optimistic. If King Ruoyong takes advantage of this time to establish himself as emperor, it will undoubtedly be another heavy blow to Datang.
Yang Yifei raised his eyebrows, and the Yongwang matter also needed to be resolved urgently, but after weighing it all, Yang Yifei decided that it was better to resist the Spike Army first, and the Yongwang matter had to be troubled by Yang Qingyue to deal with it first.
However, Yang Qingyue suddenly laughed. He reached out and patted his younger brother's thin shoulder, and comforted him: "Mr. Taibai knows that you care too much, and he told me yesterday to let me tell you about Yongwang. Plan together, you just need to fight the Spike with peace of mind. One more thing, Mr. Taibai warned, don't get close to the central figures of the imperial power, there may be a storm coming."
Hearing what Yang Qingyue said, Yang Yifei's heart skipped a beat. He also knew that there would be a storm in the center of the imperial power, but he didn't want that person to provoke the rebellion between An Lushan and Shi Siming's rebels.
"Then where are you going?"
