The night lights at Xingqing Palace are as bright as daylight, with laughter and joy floating everywhere.

Huaye Tower is even more crowded. The dancers in the hall wear the most gorgeous clothes, wrapping their graceful bodies, twisting and dancing in the sound of laughter and drinking. Tonight's palace singing and dancing brought a bit of exotic charm, with a hint of seductive charm and charm in dignity.

All of this is for a Hu Jiedu governor who guarded the border.

After Gu Qing performed in front of Li Longji, Li Longji was overjoyed and allowed him to sit next to the emperor, surrounded Li Longji one by one, one by one, just as Li Longji said just now.

An Lushan sat on the right side of Li Longji, and his seat was very unique.

The unique feature is that there is something like a screen placed on the side of his cushion. This thing is called "Sitting Barrier". A golden rooster walking alone was drawn on the obstacle. It was used by the emperor and was called "Golden Rooster Obstacle". At this moment, Li Longji actually gave it to An Lushan for use.

The deep favoritism can be seen.

The whole house was full of joy, the king and the ministers were having fun, and the court officials toasted Li Longji and An Lushan one after another. An Lushan was modest and refused everyone. There was no such thing as a handsome man in front of Li Longji. Instead, he really had a kind of innocence and straightforwardness that a child liked his father's knees. Li Longji looked at An Lushan with a gentle and doting look, just like an old father watching his son who had been away for a long time.

Gu Qing toasted Li Longji and An Lushan and sat down, looking at everything beside him coldly.

In a powerful dynasty, the king unconsciously dug his own corners. No one knew that in the end, the Hu man who claimed to be a son minister, would raise his sword to him who called his father a few years later, and lift the flag high, sweeping the world. The most powerful dynasty in history was easily pushed to the ground. Since then, the country's destiny has taken a sharp turn, and later generations have nothing more than just prolonged their lives.

Did the decline of the prosperous Tang Dynasty only decline at the hands of An Lushan?

Tonight, it is still the prosperous era.

At the end of the banquet, An Lushan suddenly stood up and whispered to Li Longji to remove the dance music, and asked the musicians to change the songs.

Li Longji agreed, An Lushan walked to the center of the hall, and with the loud and rapid drum beat of the musicians, An Lushan's fat body actually danced.

Then the musician's string music started. An Lushan kicked and opened his arms and sleeves to chase his prey in the forest. As the drum sounded faster and faster, An Lushan's fat body quickly rotated.

"What a song of Hu Xuan! I'm here!" Li Longji was overjoyed. He grabbed the Jie drum from the musician's hand and stood on the sidelines to slap the drum for An Lushan. An Lushan danced more and more vigorously, spinning like a top, tiptoing on his legs and bent his knees, like the wind and lightning.

The dance of the king and his ministers attracted cheers from the whole hall. The servants took notes tonight's grand occasion and left this passage in history books, thinking that it was a good story in later generations. The painter Zhang Bu painted and painted Li Longji's drum sound and An Lushan's dance posture were included in the scroll.

The scenery of the prosperous Tang Dynasty seemed to have reached its peak tonight.

Concubine Yang was already drunk. She was fascinated by the palace feast tonight. The man she beloved was the wise monarch who created this prosperous era with his own hands. His charm made the Hu people and the border generals also fascinated him. He was willing to be loyal to him to death. The praises from the ministers like waves added a dazzling brilliance to this prosperous era.

"Gu Qing, come and drink with me!" Yang Guifei laughed in the drums, laughing like a child who was celebrating the New Year: "I'm so happy, where are you?"

Gu Qing respectfully respected her a cup of wine and smiled and said, "I am happy and fortunate to be born in a prosperous era. This is my blessing."

Yang Guifei smiled and glanced at him, and snorted, "You lied to me, your appearance is not happy. Gu Qing, it is time for a young man to be old, but tonight is the time for the king and his ministers to have fun together, so you don't have to be old-fashioned. Haven't you even Sanlang plays like a child?"

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I am really happy, but I am born with an unhappy face. I am obviously in a happy mood, but others look at me, but I seem to be crying..."

Yang Guifei laughed again: "You, you will never be happy all your life. Come on, drink this cup with me again."

As he said that, Yang Guifei suddenly stood up. In An Lushan's constantly rotating dance, Yang Guifei sang: "All the ministers should drink a lot, praise the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and live for His Majesty the Emperor, and drink for the best of his life!"

All the ministers stood up one after another, bowed to Li Longji, who was immersed in the drum music, and then raised their glasses to drink together: "I am the hymn of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the longevity of His Majesty the Emperor, and the best of drinking!"

In the loud chant, Li Longji lowered his head and eyes, his expression was intoxicated, as if he was in a beautiful dream.

The Kegu slapped in his hands more and more excitedly.

…………

As the song ended, Gu Qing was already a little drunk and walked out of Xingqing Palace in a daze.

As soon as he got on the carriage, he suddenly heard someone calling him. Gu Qing looked back and saw that it was Yang Guozhong who had not seen him for many days.

Gu Qing calmed down and turned to meet him. After saluting, he smiled and said, "The officials have met Yang Xiang. There are many people in Huae Building just now. I haven't had time to greet Yang. Don't blame me for being rude."

A "Summit Yang" made Yang Guozhong so happy that he wanted to take off. He laughed twice with a proud look on his face, waved his hand and pretended to be reserved, "Don't scream randomly after Li Xiang's death, the position of the right prime minister is vacant. Your Majesty has not issued an order to decide the candidate for the right prime minister. If the right prime minister is not me, wouldn't my brother's "Summit Yang" slap me in the face?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Yang Xiang has been serious. I have been in the court several times. Apart from Yang Xiang, who is qualified to be the right prime minister? You are the most trusted minister of Your Majesty, so don't underestimate yourself."

Yang Guozhong laughed and said, "For some reason, the longer I know my brother, the more I feel that my brother is close and close. My brother speaks simple and honest. Yang should lead my brother to be a confidant and live up to you and me."

Gu Qing said seriously: "What Yang Xiang said is exactly what my brother Yu thought. My brother also led Yang Xiang as his confidant, wishing he didn't know the rhythm and could not play a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" with Yang."

The two of them suddenly showed a look of mutual appreciation on their faces.

His acting skills are very thoughtful and do not show any disgusting appearance at all.

An old man like Yang Guozhong is selfish and it would be strange if he can treat Gu Qing as a confidant. But Gu Qing only thinks that he has performed another extra episode, with a drama inside and outside.

"The palace banquet has ended, why did Yang Xiang leave so early? You are the person you trust the most and the brother of the imperial concubine. It is logical that you should stay and drink with Your Majesty and An Jieshuai." Gu Qing asked curiously.

Yang Guozhong's smile froze, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Ship An Jie is also the most trusted minister of Your Majesty. He rarely comes back to Chang'an to congratulate him. Your Majesty must have many words to say to him, but I am not inconvenient to disturb him."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "But he is just a Hu military general. He has gained the trust of His Majesty by clever words and deeds. How can Yang Xiang really share his worries for His Majesty? In a few days, His Majesty will be named You as Right Prime Minister. At that time, Yang Xiang will have more places to work hard. How can An Lushan compare with you?"

These words came to Yang Guozhong's heart, and he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. Gu Qing sensitively discovered that Yang Guozhong's touching expression was truly heartbroken this time.

"My brother is indeed a straightforward person. He dares to tell any truth. Brother Yu is worse than brother Yu." Yang Guozhong bowed and smiled again, "I almost forgot that my brother was named Marquis of the County and was promoted to General of the Central Army. Brother Yu congratulates you here. Your Majesty's favor to brother Yu is also extraordinary. He has been named Marquis and General at a young age. In a few years, I am afraid that even Brother Yu will look up to you."

Gu Qing hurriedly said, "No matter how fast my brother has been promoted, how can I compare to you, Yang Xiang? You are now the number one minister in the court, below one person and above tens of millions. In the future, I still have to rely on Yang Xiang to take care of you."

Yang Guozhong sighed: "My brother is a real person. Yang likes to make friends with people like you. Unlike some Hu people, who rely on His Majesty's favor, he is arrogant and makes a move to the city. Why do you make three steps to worship him? It is particularly ugly to show off your majesty. How wise is Your Majesty? How can this little trick of flattery and confusing fool him?"

After saying that, Yang Guozhong was stunned, and then sighed sadly.

Not to mention whether you are wise or not, An Lushan's charming trick has clearly blinded the Holy Emperor. Everyone has seen the scene of the king and his minister dancing and enjoying each other in Huae Tower just now.

A touch of playfulness flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.

Hearing Yang Guozhong's tone, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with An Lushan. There are probably many reasons for this dissatisfaction. Perhaps because An Lushan did not give him a gift, or perhaps because An Lushan was indeed arrogant and did not take Yang Guozhong seriously. What's more, Li Longji was too fond of An Lushan and Yang Guozhong was jealous.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but tickled.

It was obviously three men, but Gu Qing smelled the stench of love. Such a bloody love, hate, and love entanglement actually happened to the three men. Tsk tsk!

Gu Qing blinked quietly, then sighed: "An Jieshuai is a Hu man. The etiquette of the Hu man may be different from our Tang Dynasty. He is the governor who holds the heavy troops of the three towns and the Northern Great Wall that the Tang Dynasty relies on. Yang Xiang should bear this tone. If the generals and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are in harmony, it will inevitably make Your Majesty displeasure..."

Yang Guozhong turned his head and looked at Xingqing Palace, sneering, "In the heart of this Hu man, I am different from Li Linfu. When Li Linfu was alive, An Lushan respected him very much and listened to his teachings in everything. When Li Linfu boasted, he was so happy that he danced like a child. Now that Li Linfu is dead, this Hu man doesn't take me seriously at all. He just now was in Hua'e Tower, but Hu Leng didn't come to toast me, let alone say a word, do you really think that Yang Guozhong has a Bodhisattva temper?"

Turning to look at Gu Qing, Yang Guozhong said heavily: "If you are not my race, you must not have a close relationship with him. This Hu man seems heroic and upright, but in fact he is as sinister and cunning as a fox. When you interact with him, your brother should be careful of being cheated by him."

Gu Qing said seriously: "Who else in the world is worthy of being close to Yudie Brother? Yang Xiang rest assured that Yudie Brother's interactions with An Lushan are just fake kung fu. He will never talk to him like Yang Xiang. Who is a real friend and who is a fake friend, Yudie Brother can still clearly distinguish."

After a pause, Gu Qing added: "If it weren't for the heavy troops in his hands and being deeply trusted by His Majesty, I wouldn't even want to pay attention to him."

Gu Qing said intentionally or unintentionally twice, "Holding the heavy troops of the three towns" and Yang Guozhong finally heard this time. He frowned and said, "I have a glorious Tang Dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the three towns. How can I hold all the hands of a Hu? This is a hidden danger. I don't believe that the Tang Dynasty can not find a second general who can lead troops to fight, well..."

Gu Qing exhaled gently.

Immortal Banban'er, after so much trouble, you finally realized the point.

It was too hard to talk to the idiot. Such idiot was about to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Gu Qing was sad for the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for his cousin, this idiot would probably not even have the ability to be a seventh-rank official.

Yang Guozhong stood in the cold wind outside Xingqing Palace, his expression fell into deep thought, obviously thinking about Gu Qing's words just now.

Gu Qing was not anxious and stood with him with a smile.

It is not easy to overthrow An Lushan, and it cannot be done with a few words of sow discord. Today, Gu Qing just planted a seed of suspicion and jealousy in Yang Guozhong's heart. I don't know when this seed will sprout, but it is certain that it will sprout and bloom a flower that will not be enough to make a fortune. An Lushan's great cause of rebellion requires the help of Yang Guozhong, a fool.

I don’t know how long I stood, Yang Guozhong nodded and said, “It’s late at night. Brother Yu has returned to his house. I’ll leave here with you. I have time to come to my house for a few drinks.”

Gu Qing bowed and said, "My foolish brother respectfully sending Yang Xiang."

He looked at Yang Guozhong with a respectful expression. The carriage gradually moved away, and a gloomy smile appeared on Gu Qing's face.

Then Gu Qing was shocked and suddenly realized that his smile looked too much like a villain. In addition to his unhappiness, his face must have engraved four words, "A bad guy".

Gu Qing quickly lowered his smile, his eyebrows were full of heroic spirit, his eyes firmly and diligently staring at the sky of the night, like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness. At this moment, there was a light on his face, called "Zhengdao".

…………

The next morning, Butler Xu woke up Gu Qing.

I had to wake him up because a distinguished guest came to the mansion, whose name was An Lushan.

Gu Qing's three-point sleepiness suddenly woke up completely and his mind quickly turned.

I am just a newly promoted county marquis. Last night, I showed off my acting skills to each other in front of Li Longji. I knew the purpose of that play, and it was all for life.

Logically speaking, everyone will finish work after the performance, so there should be no more intersection. Where is a mere county marquis worth visiting by An Lushan?

He was thinking about the purpose of An Lushan's visit, but Gu Qing did not dare to delay and hurriedly called the maid to dress him neatly.

The corrupt feudal life gradually changed Gu Qinglan. He was no longer the simple and unpretentious mountain village farmer boy. Now Gu Qing is open to his mouth and clothes. Without the care of his maid, he can't even wear clothes.

After wearing it, Gu Qing quickly walked to the front hall. An Lushan sat upright in the guest seat, half-closed his eyes and motionless, like a monk who was transcending from the world who was quietly pursuing Zen.

Gu Qing walked out of the hall and saw him looking like this, so he suddenly stopped and stared at him deeply.

An Lushan is now, maybe he is the real person.

He is not a hero or a hero. He is just a traitor with evil intentions. He conquered Li Longji and all the ministers in the court with his superb acting skills. He conquered all the ministers in the court with such a ill-intentioned and heavy troops. What is ridiculous is that no one of the monarchs and ministers in the court doubted his loyalty.

Whether you call yourself a son, or dance Hu Xuanwu with a fat body in front of Li Longji, or worship Tian Khan with an extremely respectful attitude, they are all illusions of blinding the king and his subjects.

This person is fat and his appearance in front of outsiders is also clumsy and ridiculous. However, when Gu Qing saw him, he was very energetic.

Those who can leave their names in historical books, whether they are famous or infamous, are not simple characters. It would be ridiculous to think that An Lushan is really as ridiculous as he shows.

After calming down, Gu Qing let out a light cough.

An Lushan suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look out of the hall. The moment he looked at Gu Qing, Gu Qing suddenly felt uncomfortable being pierced by an invisible sword.

The eyes of that moment were so sharp.

"The handsome man from Anjie came to the humble house, but the subordinates failed to go out to greet him. He was really neglected to the distinguished guests. I hope the handsome man will forgive him for his crime." Gu Qing bowed with a smile.
