Secret letters kill the heart, but what kills the emperor's heart.

All the details are just a prelude. What is important is that Li Longji can see this letter, and even this letter can be made up or false. It doesn’t matter what others think, but the key is what Li Longji thinks.

The emperor's heart is not so easy to fool.

If the secret letter clearly states who to connect with, who to join forces with, when to start a military force, etc., it will become a joke, and Li Longji will not believe it at all.

But if you write a bunch of names and numbers that are incomprehensible, the credibility will suddenly become much higher.

This is the weakness of the human heart. Strictly speaking, it is the weakness of the emperor's heart.

Things that are too straightforward are too fake, and things that are hidden can actually arouse people's doubts and make people suspicious.

Gu Qing spent a lot of effort to fabricate this letter, a bunch of names and a string of numbers. He plotted against the emperor's heart. The suspicion in Li Longji's heart finally grew wildly like the tender buds in spring.

The authenticity of the secret letter does not matter, but Yang Guozhong's words touched the depths of Li Longji's soul.

An Lushan holds 200,000 troops in his hand.

If Li Longji had trusted him completely before, he would not have taken it seriously. Such a loyal minister would be fine even if he had let him control one million troops.

But since the secret letter appeared, Li Longji thought about the 200,000 soldiers in An Lushan's hand, and suddenly felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles and was nervous.

Even if every word from beginning to end of this secret letter is fake, the 200,000 soldiers and horses An Lushan has really been true.

Li Longji fell into deep thought. The emperor's mentality was sometimes like a jealous woman who made trouble. Without any evidence, he had to doubt whether his man had a dog outside, and he was particularly suspicious. What's more, he had such a fatal secret letter in his hand.

Seeing Li Longji remained silent, Li Heng and Yang Guozhong quickly looked at each other, and a joy flashed in their eyes.

The two people who were originally enemies joined forces for the first time under Gu Qing's help, and the effect was very good.

As long as the emperor becomes suspicious of An Lushan, the purpose of this joint effort will be achieved.

Li Longji pondered for a long time and said hesitantly: "Looking out...it's okay."

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong were happy and were about to add fuel to the fire. At this time, Gao Lishi reported outside the hall that An Lushan asked for a meeting.

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong were shocked. Li Longji pondered for a moment and said, "It's good to meet, I can't always listen to the words of one side."

After An Lushan entered the hall, he lay down at Li Longji's feet without saying a word and kissed Li Longji's footwear with his mouth. Li Heng and Yang Guozhong showed disdain and contempt when they saw this.

After the kiss, An Lushan suddenly opened his mouth wide and started crying loudly, crying like a child with a height of more than 300 pounds.

"Your Majesty, I heard the rumors in Chang'an City early in the morning. Your Majesty, this is a traitor who is a scoundrel who framed loyalty and bullied me, a Hu man, and asked Your Majesty to make the decision for me."

Li Longji comforted her gentle words: "Lu'er, I know it's a rumor. A secret letter with unknown origin cannot prove anything. How could I be a fool who believes in rumors?"

An Lushan stood up crying, but turned a blind eye to the princes Li Heng and Yang Guozhong standing next to him, and did not even bow to him.

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong looked angry and murderous.

This fat man must be removed!

"Your Majesty, I dare not return to Fanyang anymore. I will be an official in Chang'an. I will do my best to do my best to you before your Majesty. Please send other good generals in the military affairs of the three towns. People say that they are afraid, and the famous ministers of the "rebel ministers" cannot afford to take on them." An Lushan said aggrievedly.

Li Longji laughed: "Don't talk to children. If there is no Lu'er in the three towns, how can you guard the northern border? I have always believed in your loyalty and will never be deceived by rumors. Lu'er will not let me down, right?"

An Lushan raised his tears and raised his hand solemnly swearing: "If I have any words and deeds against the Tang Dynasty and the Heavenly Khan, I will be killed by heavenly thunder, and will become an animal in life for generations and will never be a human being."

Li Longji smiled with relief, and then said with pain: "I have no intention of believing it, why did Lu'er make this poisonous oath?"

An Lushan lowered his head and sobbed, "I am a vulgar martial artist, and a Hu man. Your Majesty is very favored by me. The court officials are jealous of him when they see him, and it is difficult to accommodate him. Therefore, slander falls into Your Majesty's ears and listens to him with defamation. I am not good at speaking, and I am slandered by rumors and cannot argue. I don't know how to express my feelings..."

Li Longji repeatedly said: "I believe in you, I believe in you!"

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong next to him looked ugly. An Lushan said aggrieved words, not only expressing his feelings, but also secretly accused the two of them of slandering and defaming the saints. He started to fight back so quickly. This fat man was indeed not simple.

After Li Longji comforted An Lushan for a while, An Lushan sobbed and left.

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong were about to continue slandering, but Li Longji waved tiredly and ordered the two to retreat.

The two looked at each other and took a tactful look.

Li Longji sat alone in the cold hall, his body was chilling.

Always immersed in the illusion of prosperity, Li Longji became more and more arrogant and complacent in the praises of praise. Now with the emergence of this secret letter, Li Longji suddenly realized that there were many crises hidden under the appearance of prosperity, with internal and external troubles endlessly visible and audio-visual, and those gorgeous and luxurious prosperous times became increasingly blurred.

"Twenty-hundred, two hundred thousand..." Li Longji muttered to himself.

Gao Lishi walked into the hall quietly and stood quietly behind Li Longji.

"General Gao, how do you view this secret letter?"

Gao Lishi trembled and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I dare not have any opinions."

This time I am not a polite word. Gao Lishi knows the seriousness of this matter and really doesn't want to say a word.

Li Longji smiled and sighed: "There are quite a lot of hidden dangers in the Tang Dynasty. The biggest hidden danger is not a matter, but people. People's hearts are the most difficult to guess. I can't see clearly whether the court's princes are loyal or traitorous. I... may be old."

Gao Lishi felt sad and whispered: "Your Majesty is not old, the prosperous era under Your Majesty has just begun, and the prosperous era will continue for thousands of years and thousands of years."

Li Longji shook his head, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "No matter whether the letter is true or false, An Lushan's three towns still need to be investigated. I want to know what the situation of the three towns are now. How much food, weapons, war horses have been hoarded in the three towns, and those leading generals, are they really replaced by Hu people? These are all what I want to know."

Gao Lishi whispered: "Your Majesty, the court has spys in all towns..."

Li Longji sneered: "Can I still believe in those eyeliners? Every year, the world is peaceful, are the towns really peaceful?"

Gao Lishi was shocked and lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Longji closed his eyes and said slowly: "Send Fu Lin, the official of the Palace, to the three towns, go secretly, and do not reveal his traces."

Gorix received the order.

After pondering for a while, Li Longji said again: "Give An Lushan the purple-collared brocade robe I often wear to comfort him."

…………

A secret letter caused such a big storm in Chang'an City.

As the initiator, Gu Qing's reaction was very calm.

The secret letter was made by him, and the fuel was also his connection with Li Heng and Yang Guozhong. Even Li Longji's psychological changes were in his calculations.

Thanks to the evaluation of Li Longji in previous history books, Gu Qing grasped Li Longji's psychology.

An emperor who was arrogant and wanted to enjoy and live a peaceful life after establishing a prosperous era, and was also very suspicious. A secret letter was enough to make him suspicious and suspicious.

There are guests at the Gu family's house today.

The guest is an acquaintance.

After hearing the news, Li Shierniang immediately came to Gu Qing's mansion and told Gu Qing happily that An Lushan was going to be in trouble.

Gu Qing calmly arranged the wine and food, and ordered someone to take out a jar of brewed apricot blossom wine from the cellar to fill it with Li Shierniang.

Seeing Gu Qing's calm and peaceful appearance, Li Shierniang was a little dissatisfied. How could the enemy be unhappy?

However, Li Shier Niang was not stupid after all. After a moment of silence, she slapped the table suddenly and said, "It's you!?"

Gu Qing blinked innocently: "What did Aunt Li say? What is me?"

"Is An Lushan unlucky because of you?"

Gu Qing smiled and sighed, "What do you have to do with me? He is unlucky because he is too arrogant. There are so many powerful ministers in the court, and there are always people who don't like it."

Li Shierniang snorted coldly, "No need to hide it, it's you. Chang'an City has been circulating in a lot of controversy. An Lushan's secret letter is really deadly. If the emperor does not doubt him, he will have a ghost. Who else can he be a fool of others in such a tricky layout?"

Gu Qing smiled indifferently and said, "That secret letter cannot kill An Lushan, but it can shake his loyal image in the heart of the emperor. This image is the foundation of his world."

Li Shierniang stared at him in a daze and sighed quietly: "It's really you..."

Gu Qing didn't hide it and said happily: "It's me."

Li Shierniang's eyes were filled with bright colors and she said in a moving way: "It's worthy of being the seed of the Gu family. Your parents have a son, but they are so smiling. You are better than them."

"It's nothing to be smart. If you really want to be stronger, Aunt Li can kill a hundred of me. If you punch me, it's useless for me to come up with a punch." Gu Qing smiled self-deprecatingly.

Li Shierniang shook her head stubbornly: "One plan to eliminate traitors, one plan to ensure the country. This is something that even ten thousand vulgar martial artists cannot do, you have done it. In recent years, I have felt more and more that many things in the world cannot be solved by force. Sometimes, a literati can kill thousands of people with just one word or one idea..."

"I have been thinking about it for more than ten years, and I have been to Pinglu of Fanyang many times during this period. I want to assassinate An Lushan, but I can't do anything. For this reason, I even sacrificed the lives of more than ten disciples, but it was still futile. Unexpectedly... You just compiled a secret letter and shook An Lushan's foundation. In comparison, how small I am..."

Li Shierniang's expression gradually became gloomy. She suddenly realized that she had been doing something meaningless over the years. She put in so much effort and hard work and took such great dangers, but she could not resist Gu Qing's idea.

Gu Qing comforted her gentle words: "Jing Ke assassinated Qin, even though he was defeated, he was still honored. Even though he was defeated, the singing of seeing off by the Yishui River left the seeds of hope for the remains of the six kingdoms. Qin II died in the second generation, precisely because the hearts of the world cannot be deceived."
