Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Six The Envoy Comes North

If Her Royal Highness wanted to do business, the scene would be a bit scary.

If all the ceremonial guards were put out, there would be Yulin guards in front to clear the way, followed by eunuchs and maidens behind them, and various ceremonial objects such as nine-wing screen fans, golden melons, gold basins, jade ruyi, etc. would be held in their hands.

When such a battle was put out, she asked which merchant dared to do business with her, and then which merchant dared not to do business with her.

"Your Highness, there is no need," Gu Qing rubbed his temples with a headache, and said with a bitter smile: "With Your Highness's appearance, there is no need to do such a humble job. Your Highness, you might as well just grab it."

Wan Chun's eyes widened: "You again..."

Gu Qing quickly cut off her words: "I didn't mean to hurt you this time. Listen to my voice, how soft and friendly it is. Every word is full of sense of truth."

Wan Chun stamped his feet: "Anyway, I want to do business with Huangfu Sisi!"

Gu Qing said seriously: "Sisi's business is to make money for the Anxi Army. If Your Highness insists on doing business with her, then Sisi will be the main one. Your Highness can watch from the sidelines and don't get involved carelessly. If Your Highness can agree,

, I also agree to His Highness’s request.”

Wan Chun said unhappily: "You are obviously partial to her."

Gu Qing laughed: "Sisi is my woman, of course I am partial to her, is there anything strange about this?"

Wan Chun left bitterly again.

After Wan Chun left, Duan Wuji came in again.

"Sir, there is news from Chang'an City..." Duan Wuji whispered in Gu Qing's ear.

Gu Qing hummed and took a small note from Duan Wuji. There were only a few words on the note. Gu Qing quickly read it, then put the note on a candlestick and burned it.

"Feng Yu is making good progress. He has gained Shi Siming's trust and is planning to work with An Lushan's second son An Qingxu to do a big thing... and Aunt Li has also arrived in Chang'an, so this thing may have a high chance of success.

." Gu Qing smiled.

Duan Wuji asked curiously: "What's the big deal?"

Gu Qing lowered his voice and said slowly: "Kill An Lushan."

Duan Wuji was shocked, and then said anxiously: "There are so many guards around An Lushan, how can he assassinate him?"

"Of course he can't just rush into the house and kill him, but if his most trusted son is behind it..."

Duan Wuji was shocked again: "Patricide?"

Then Duan Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "The rebel camp really has no loyalty, filial piety or shame. There are all kinds of monsters and monsters."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's a good thing for us. Please help me send a message to Feng Yu, telling him to be careful. If something is not sure, you can take it slow. Don't act too hastily, otherwise everything will fail."

Duan Wuji nodded and agreed.

"Also, tell Feng Yu that he must be wary of Shi Siming. This man is deep-rooted and ambitious. The person in the rebel camp who really wants to take An Lushan's place is not An Lushan's son, but this man.

Shi Siming, Feng Yu dances with the devil, so be careful."

Duan Wuji couldn't help but said: "Master, it's too risky for Feng Yu to do this..."

Gu Qing shook his head and said: "This is the biggest difference between you and Feng Yu. You have a stable character and are a conservative talent, while Feng Yu is born to take risks. Only in exciting and thrilling environments can he use his strengths. I believe

Feng Yu will definitely be able to handle things properly, and even if he can't, Feng Yu will be able to escape unscathed."

Duan Wuji nodded and said with a wry smile: "In terms of merit and talent, I am not as good as Feng Yu."

"Don't belittle yourself. You are by my side, checking for omissions in my decisions. As a counselor, you are already very qualified. Remember the last battle by the Yingshui River. No one thought that An Lushan borrowed 100,000 foreigners from the north.

Army, if you hadn't given me a word of warning, our Anxi Army would have been completely wiped out. This achievement is no less than the assassination of An Lushan."

"Everyone has a different personality and a different position. If you are sent to replace Feng Yu, you may not survive a day behind enemy lines. But if Feng Yu is transferred to me as a counselor, this person will be useless from now on.

Yes, he is not this material at all."

Duan Wuji's face finally looked better, and Gu Qing said again: "Later, I will send a troop of more than a thousand soldiers and horses, disguised and sneaked into the vicinity of Chang'an City in batches. After you contact Feng Yu, let him handle the matter.

Their escape route tells me that this army will meet them outside Chang'an City."

"yes."

…………

A few days later, the news spread throughout the world that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty appointed Prince Li Heng as the Grand Marshal of the Army.

The subjects rejoiced and everyone looked forward to it, hoping that Prince Li Heng could turn the tide, make great achievements, quickly put down the rebellion, and restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

This appointment was the product of a conspiracy, and it was not a great honor for Li Heng. As soon as Li Longji issued the decree, all the eyes of the world were focused on Li Heng. From then on, whether the rebellion was successful or failed, it was Li Heng who

If Li Longji fails to take the responsibility of Heng, he will naturally throw the blame on Li Heng. Even if Li Longji decides to change his position, the people of the world will not say anything.

This move diverted the attention of the subjects. Li Longji lost the capital and fled to Shu in embarrassment. The image of Li Longji finally faded out of the eyes of the subjects. Secondly, this move was regarded as revenge for Li Heng's plotting the imperial mutiny behind his back.

He drove Li Heng into a trap.

From now on, the success or failure of countering the rebellion all depends on Li Heng's performance. If Li Heng can successfully counter the rebellion, he will still be the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If he fails to counter the rebellion, Li Heng may not be able to become the prince.

Everyone in the Anxi Army was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Longji's appointment.

It is natural that Li Heng should be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces. He is a prince and it is natural for him to be as high an official as he wants. However, the deputy marshal was given to Guo Ziyi and Gao Xianzhi, but only Mr. Gu was forgotten. This is unreasonable.

Since the Anxi Army entered the Pass to suppress the rebellion, they have won every battle and wiped out more than 100,000 enemies. When the entire Tang Dynasty royal division was defeated by the rebels, the Anxi Army's record was the only bright spot of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, why didn't Mr. Gu get the post of deputy marshal?

Gu Qing was very sensitive to the emotions of the lieutenants in the army, so he ordered the generals to appease them so as not to make them serious and affect their combat effectiveness.

Another ten days passed, it was the end of spring in Tianbao's fifteenth year, and the weather gradually became hotter.

The Anxi Army was still practicing low-key every day. When recruiting new soldiers, two envoys came from the north. They came from Shuofang Lingzhou.

When the officers on duty at the gate made the announcement, Gu Qing frowned when he heard their names.

One of them is called Du Hongjian and the other is Li Fuguo.

Gu Qing was naturally familiar with Du Hongjian. When he was in Chang'an, he had a grudge with his third son. However, Gu Qing was very familiar with Li Fuguo. This was a famous traitor. In terms of the degree of treachery,

Compared with him, Bian Lingcheng is just a stinky younger brother.

The generals in the handsome tent were sitting together chatting. After hearing the report, Gu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone here."

Chang Zhong said with a worried look on his face: "Does His Royal Highness really dare to seize the military power of the Anxi Army?"

Gu Qing leisurely said: "The Crown Prince is newly appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses. However, he only has a few troops and horses from Shuofang Jie Mansion and no military power. The so-called Grand Marshal is just an empty title. He really wants to do something to show off in front of his subjects.

The military power of the Anxi Army has naturally been coveted for a long time."

Li Siye sneered and said: "Is the military power of the Anxi Army so easy to take away? You might as well let him try and see if I don't crush his yolk."

Gu Qing pointed at him: "I have no objection to this hobby. Remember to wash your hands after squeezing it. By the way, one of the people who came today has no yolk, which disappoints you."

The generals laughed.

Gu Qing stood up, straightened his clothes, and said: "Since you are here, you should treat each other with courtesy. Come on, follow me out to greet the two envoys."

The generals followed Gu Qing out of the commander's tent and outside the camp gate.

There were only two horses and a dozen followers outside the camp gate, all dressed as businessmen. In order to successfully pass through the enemy-occupied area in Guanzhong, the two of them had to travel in disguise.

The leader was about forty or fifty years old, with a thin build and a green beard. He had a certain air of immortality.

The other man had a white face and no beard, and a kind smile on his face. He looked like a big landowner who made money with kindness, and was very honest.

Gu Qing and the other generals stepped forward, and the leader said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, after we say goodbye to Chang'an, it has been many years. Are you okay?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Du Sizhi is polite. By the way, is he still Sizhi? He should be promoted, right?"

Du Hongjian smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell in love with me by mistake. I have been promoted to Minister of War and Deputy Envoy of Duzhi."

Gu Qing was suddenly enlightened and said hurriedly: "Congratulations to Shilang Du. He has dual roles, one is in charge of soldiers and the other is in charge of money. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince holds Du Shilang in high regard."

Du Hongjian didn't dare to say anything, and pointed to the person next to him and introduced: "This is Li Fuguo, the marching commander of the Marshal's Mansion, the most trusted person around the prince."

Before Gu Qing could speak, Li Fuguo had already stepped forward to salute, and said with a flattering smile: "My slave Li Fuguo, please pay homage to Mr. Gu. The Anxi Army under his command has won many battles and is famous throughout the world. His Highness the Crown Prince has praised it countless times in Lingzhou.

It is said that Mr. Gu and the Anxi Army are the mainstay of the country. The Tang Dynasty is lucky to have heroes like Mr. Gu to ensure the peace of the country."

Gu Qing said with a half-smile but not a smile: "It turns out to be Li Sima. I have admired him for a long time."

Li Fuguo was stunned. He was just a small eunuch. He had only recently returned to Lingzhou from the emperor's camp and was promoted to Army Commander. He was an unknown little person. Why did Mr. Gu say "long admired"?

He didn't expect that what Gu Qing said was actually the truth. He had admired this Li Fuguo for a long time just by hearing his name, probably for more than a thousand years.

"Young Master is indeed as gentle and gentle as jade as rumored. He is a genius in this world. His literary ability can compose poems that will be passed down through the ages, and his military ability can mount a horse to determine the world. I have been worshiping you for a long time. Now that I see you today, I must have been in front of the Buddha in my previous life.

It took hundreds of years of cultivation to obtain the blessings."

Li Fuguo's smile makes people feel like they are soaking in hot water, very comfortable.

"My real name is Li Changsong. I was a small steward in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the fall of Chang'an, I followed the Holy Spirit to Shu. On the way, I just arrived in Lingzhou with the order of the Crown Prince. After I arrived in Lingzhou, I was favored by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Give the slave the name 'Li Fuguo'..."

Gu Qing suddenly narrowed his eyes, followed Sheng into Shu, and rushed back to Lingzhou on the way?
