In spring, you are happy with the rain and dew, but in winter, you sigh with the wind and frost.
The long stay is like me being few, the benefit of moving is like you being few.
The Wolong cloud has to rise first when it arrives, the stinging swallow has not yet flown when it is startled by thunder.
Don't regret that the water in the east and west ditches are different, and the length of the river is the same.
——"Sending Wei Shiyu to Move Sima to Jinzhou" Bai Juyi
On this day, Li Linfu warmly invited An Lushan to his house.
Before An Lushan set out, Ji Wen, who was a brother of An Lushan, was a guest at An Lushan's residence in Xuanyifang. Ji Wen said: "My eldest brother is talented and has great plans, and he seeks the favor of the Holy One. This time he came to Chang'an and could have made a fortune."
Prime Minister. But Prime Minister Li talks about honey and sword, and although he has a warm relationship with the third brother, I can conclude that he will never recommend you to be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty."
An Lushan asked curiously: "Why is this so? Even if I am the prime minister, I have a false reputation of doing things smoothly. I will eventually go back to the north to let horses go."
Ji Wen snorted coldly and said: "Luo Xishi and I were called 'Luo Jiwang' in the court. We eliminated many forces for him, even at the expense of offending the emperor's relatives and the prince! But what about him? In front of everyone,
There is no need for a queen. I have followed him for many years, but I have never been promoted. Third brother, if you have the opportunity, please say a few kind words for me in front of the Holy Emperor and the noble concubine. If I can get a high position, I will have the strength to cooperate with Third Brother to help
This old thief has overthrown his horse. When the time comes, Third Brother, you will become a general and become a general. You will be so majestic that you will honor your ancestors!"
Ji Wen's words made An Lushan smile and smile from ear to ear. An Lushan said: "According to the information, I will also serve as the governor of Hedong. If you are interested, brother, I will ask the emperor for you to be the deputy envoy of Hedong."
There is a real shortage. There are dignitaries all over Chang'an. You are an official who can say whether it is big or small. Why not follow me back to Hedong. When you get to the place, you will be the local emperor. The difference between Jiedushi and the emperor is that the emperor is in charge of ten territories.
You manage a territory."
Ji Wen was overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly thanked An Lushan.
.......
After Ji Wen left, An Lushan took a car to Xiang Li's residence.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Li Linfu was curious about the folk customs of Fanyang and other places. An Lushan was a good talker, and the two parties had a good conversation.
After the banquet, the two came to the living room. Li Linfu personally ordered tea for An Lushan and said: "Doctor An, you have done well in the past two years. You have conquered Xi and Khitan and shocked Liaodong. The grassland tribes admire warriors the most. They all
I admire you very much."
An Lushan was quite proud and said boldly: "I am not bragging to you, sir, but I have figured out some ways to deal with these barbarians over the years."
Li Linfu said with a smile: "I believe what you said, Fatty An. I believe you have such prestige among the Hu people. I heard that you have many talented people, including Yanzhuang and Gaoshang in literature, Zhang Tongru and others, Shi Siming and An Shouzhong in martial arts."
, Cai Xide, Cui Qianyu, Tian Chengsi, Ashina Chengqing and others."
When An Lushan heard this, his expression was quite playful, and he thought to himself: "Prime Minister Li's hands and eyes are astute, so you have to be careful what you say today."
Li Linfu seemed to have sensed An Lushan's thoughts, but he didn't reveal it. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "So, I also want to ask you something."
An Lushan said flatteringly: "My lord, you tell me everything you know about your humble position, and you can tell me everything you want."
Li Linfu was not in a hurry. He took a sip of tea, looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that on New Year's Eve, a few Turks went to the Bashu Guild Hall to set fire and kill people. Do you know that?"
When An Lushan heard this, he understood Li Linfu's intention and replied tremblingly: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. These Turks are people of Ashina Albus."
Li Linfu said: "I asked Ashina Albus, and he said that these people are his subordinates. But he has never given an order. He said that besides him, there is another person in Chang'an who can command such
A few Turks." After saying that, he looked at An Lushan with gentle eyes.
An Lushan shuddered and said hurriedly: "I swear in the name of Changshengtian, these people are indeed not instigated by me. This Ashina Albus has always had a problem with me, he must have framed me."
Li Linfu smiled and said: "Doctor An, don't be nervous. I didn't say this person was you."
After hearing this, An Lushan was even more nervous than before. He thought to himself: "What will happen to Li Xiang's sudden surprise today?" Thinking of this, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of the dispute between Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu and Li Heng in the court a few days ago.
An Lushan raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this person the prince?"
Li Xiang remained silent and lowered his head to drink tea.
An Lushan was secretly frightened and thought: "It seems that I guessed right. Li Xiang has enemies all over the world. It doesn't matter who instigated these Turks. It must be his enemies. Li Xiang is thinking now
The focus must be on how to make use of this matter and make some key articles."
An Lushan is thinking about it.
Li Linfu suddenly stood up and asked kindly: "Lao An, are you cold? Why are you shivering all over? This is interesting about you Hu people. Although you live in ice and snow, you are more afraid of the cold than us Central Plains people.
"
After that, he took off his fur and gently put it on An Lushan.
Although he was flattered and shed tears of gratitude on the Anlu Mountain, he felt even colder and colder inside. The fur wrapped around his body was like a poisonous snake, crawling across his exposed neck, slippery and cold.
Li Linfu said: "Recently, I heard that you selected 8,000 warriors from the surrendered generals of the Xi, Khitan and other tribes to serve as personal guards. You also selected more than 100 warriors from these people to serve as personal guards.
All of these people are brave and good at fighting, and can fight against a hundred.
I also heard that while you are actively recruiting talents, you have also raised tens of thousands of war horses, and you are still making a lot of money from trade with Zhuhu..."
An Lushan turned pale with fright, and knew in his heart that he had to take a stand, otherwise this trip to Chang'an would be a fateful one, but not a fateful return.
An Lushan fell to his knees and kowtowed: "My life is given to you by your elders. I am willing to lead your horse and ride for you."
Li Linfu pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, what's going on? Dr. An, please get up quickly."
An Lushan bowed his head and said: "An Hu'er will still have to rely on adults for future glory and wealth. Please give me some guidance."
Li Linfu smiled and knew that the fish had bitten the hook.
