Chapter 76 Good mountains, good water and good customs
Yang Guozhong nodded and said: "Forget it, the matter has come to this, and there is nothing left to say. May I ask Gu Changshi, how can we protect Chang'an?"
Gu Zuo asked: "I just don't know, what kind of Chang'an does Yang Xiang want to protect?"
Yang Guozhong said: "No matter what kind of Chang'an it is, as long as it can be saved."
The situation in Chang'an has gradually become clearer. The emperor is leaving things alone. The prince and Gao Lishi are jointly preparing to take action. As the prime minister, Yang Guozhong is completely kept in the dark. It is absolutely impossible. The two sides have actually arrived. It's almost time to make it clear.
But Gu Zuo was a little strange. Looking at this, it seemed that Yang Guozhong was not just trying to win over him, but was planning to compromise?
"What exactly does Yang Xiang want to say?"
Yang Guozhong said slowly: "Yesterday, An Lushan broke through Luoyang, killing Li Qi who was staying in Dongdu, Lu Yi, the prime minister, and Jiang Qing, the interviewer."
Gu Zuodao: "Luoyang cannot be defended. We should have known this a long time ago."
Yang Guozhong said again: "The secret agent has urgently reported that An Lushan is scheduled to proclaim himself emperor in three days. His false name is Yan. He is going to proclaim himself emperor."
An Lushan was about to proclaim himself emperor, which was not surprising to Gu Zuo, but to others, it was extremely shocking. Gu Zuo could see that Yang Guozhong in front of him had obviously suffered a huge blow and no longer had confidence in controlling the government.
Without confidence, Yang Guozhong naturally lost the will to compete with the prince. He said to Gu Zuo: "Yang doesn't know how to protect Chang'an. The emperor wants to be the king of subjugation, but Yang doesn't want to be the minister of subjugation. Please ask the chief minister." Come forward and make peace with the prince." His tone was very sincere.
Gu Zuo nodded and said: "Prime Minister Yang is willing to put aside his prejudices and work together to face powerful enemies. This is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty. Making peace with the prince is naturally not a problem, but the premise is that Prime Minister Yang can accept the prince's conditions?"
Yang Guozhong said: "Sir, please tell me."
Gu Zuodao: "It's very simple, support the prince to ascend the throne."
Yang Guozhong said with difficulty: "Can the prince supervise the country? No one can bear the name of regicide."
Gu Zuodao: "Where has it reached the point of regicide? Are you worried that your Majesty will abdicate, and the power and wealth of your Yang family will be difficult to protect? This is not difficult. After your Majesty abdicates, you will be given the title of Supreme Emperor, and your concubine will be the concubine. Your Yang family will still be the head of the country. ,how?"
Yang Guozhong said: "If the new emperor wants to kill me, how can the Supreme Emperor protect me?"
Gu Zuo asked: "Then what good idea do you have?"
Yang Guozhong said: "The prince has ascended the throne and is now the Supreme Emperor. Yang is also in charge of the political affairs hall."
Gu Zuo muttered: "It's not a bad idea."
Yang Guozhong was overjoyed: "If you agree, I will enthrone the crown prince."
Gu Zuo asked: "Is there anything else?"
Yang Guozhong said: "Please take Chang Shi as the Grand Master and mobilize the southern Wu army to Beijing."
Gu Zuo knew that this was because Yang Guozhong was afraid that after the incident came true, the prince would kill the donkey and wanted to be his own guarantee. The transfer of troops to the capital was originally planned, and it was not an extraordinary condition, so he agreed immediately.
After agreeing, he added: "I heard that An Lushan's eldest son... what is his name? An Qing Zong? He is still in Chang'an and seems to be living a good life?"
Yang Xiang was a little embarrassed: "With him here, it is better than forcing An Ni to jump over the wall, but we have sent troops to monitor him, so he can't escape."
Gu Zuo didn't say anything, just stared at Yang Guozhong, who gradually lowered his head: "I know, I will arrest him immediately. If An Lushan dares to claim emperor, I will kill him."
Mrs. Guo Guo called out her driver and drove Gu Zuo back to the Xihe Gym. She watched the driver turn the corner without blinking.
Yang Guozhong was a little bit amused: "Is this what you secretly promised?"
Mrs. Guo Guo spat bitterly: "You're giving me away, you have the nerve to say it, don't come to my door in the future, get out!"
It was almost dawn, and the driver entered the Xihe Gymnasium. Some movement woke up Li Twelve. When he saw the carriage, Li Twelve snorted and said, "Go to Mrs. Guo Guo's house to spend the night?"
Gu Zuo's face was full of fatigue: "Don't make trouble, I've met Yang Guozhong."
Li Twelve asked: "How?"
Gu Zuo nodded: "Securing Chang'an gives me a little more confidence."
Li Twelve said: "Your Majesty added several more changes to the colorful and feathery dress dance yesterday. I feel more and more like she is setting up a formation?"
Gu Zuo said: "Put it out and take a look."
So, Li Twelve took out the Go chess set and arranged a formation diagram of the colorful and feathery dance on the spot. Each chess piece represented nine people, and a total of 90 chess pieces were placed, for a total of 810 people. Only then did the arrangement be completed.
This number was very mysterious and already had the meaning of a magic circle. Gu Zuo looked at it for a long time and asked Li Twelve to start evolving the formation. He performed thirty-six changes in a row, and then the drill was completed. She also invited Lin Suxian and He Xiaoshan
He and more than 20 disciples from the sect danced several pieces for Gu Zuo on the spot.
Gu Zuo was a disciple of the Nanhua sect of the formation style sect. He copied and studied a large amount of formation knowledge. He also paid special attention to the role of the formation. He purchased and participated in the layout of many formations from low-end to high-end. Although
I dare not say that I am expert, but my basic principles and vision are better than ordinary people.
After studying for a long time, he removed the chess pieces one by one, and finally only forty were left. In Gu Zuo's view, from the perspective of formation, these 360 people are the "chess pieces" of the formation, and the remaining
The four hundred and fifty dancers are real "maikos".
Gu Zuo explained that Li Twelve recorded it, and soon he had more than 30 pages of formation changes in the colorful feather dress dance. Li Twelve also annotated the dance postures during each change and bound it into a book.
This busy day has been another day. Looking back, Zuo and Li Twelve finally spent a whole night together in the same room. Unfortunately, they were not able to get enough sleep. Both of them were deeply immersed in the formation of the dance of colorful clothes and feathers.
When the rooster crows, Gu Zuo reacts and slaps himself.
Li Twelve asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
Gu Zuo sighed: "Missed opportunity!"
Li Twelve's face turned red and he said angrily: "Why are you so anxious?" He added: "I can't control you if you are flirting outside, but you have to pay attention to it. I can't help it... Actually, Xiu Xiu, Xiao Fan
I have the same affection as my sisters, and I brought them out hand in hand. I have already asked them what they meant..."
Gu Zuo couldn't believe it: "Take them both with you?"
Li Twelve said: "What's so strange about this? According to the rules of our hometown, when getting married, close sisters can marry together."
For the time being, Gu Zuo couldn't care less about the "surprise" that Li Twelve started talking about marriage. The custom of marrying sisters together made him tremble with surprise. He quickly asked: "Is this serious? Where is the custom? So... strange
ah!"
Li Twelve rolled his eyes at him: "The customs in Linying, my hometown, are the same not only in Linying, but also in many places. What's so strange about it?"
Gu Zuo praised: "Linying is a great place, with good mountains, good water and good customs!"
Li Twelve curled his lips and said: "As for me, I naturally want to find time to get married. You can accept the two of them first. Xiuxiu told me that since I went to Nanwu Prefecture with you, we have not even seen each other.
You are very difficult, so why don't you look down on me?"
Gu Zuo slapped himself again: "Damn it, damn it!" While excited, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you at odds with Junior Sister Lin?"
Li Twelve stared at Gu Zuo and said, "Do you like her too? That girl is very ambitious. You have to think carefully about it. Moreover, she is not perfect."
