Chapter 233 Anshi Rebellion, Anlu Mountain
[Guo Ziyi shoulders the imperial mission of comforting the Tibetans and coddling foreign bandits, and has accumulated a lot of experience in handling border affairs in his work.He has to conduct on-the-spot surveys of the geographical situation inside and outside the jurisdiction, and he is very clear about the dangers of mountains and rivers, and the roads of marching.For military affairs such as beacon watch, patrol and guard investigation, frontier soldier drill review, camp repair and other military affairs within the jurisdiction, they are also diligently supervised.

He is well aware of the importance of frontier tranquility to the Tang Dynasty, which is related to whether the Tang Dynasty regime can be maintained.It is necessary to develop the military role of Shuofang Army in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty, and handle the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Huihe well to maintain the stability of Northern Xinjiang.

Guo Ziyi shouldered these two important responsibilities, and worked hard with great care.

And it was these years of working experience in frontier fortresses that allowed Guo Ziyi to accumulate rich combat experience, which laid the foundation for him to shine in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty in the future. 】

[In the eighth year of Tianbao (749 A.D.), Guo Ziyi served as the envoy of the Hengsai Army.

In the 13th year of Tianbao (754 A.D.), Guo Ziyi was appointed as the military envoy of Tiande, concurrently the prefect of Jiuyuan, and the military envoy of Shuofang Jiedu.But in this year, Guo Ziyi resigned and returned home to observe filial piety due to the death of his mother. 】

[In November of the 14th year of Tianbao (755 AD), the Anshi Rebellion broke out! 】

[The emergence of the Anshi Rebellion was due to the fact that Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, only favored Concubine Yang and ignored the government, and the Tang Dynasty was very corrupt.

And Li Longji set up ten Jiedu envoys in the border town, with a total of nearly 50 soldiers, but the central forbidden army was only more than [-].

Later, Jiedushi also took charge of administration and finance, with great power, and gradually developed into a separatist force, which finally led to the Anshi Rebellion.

The Anshi Rebellion was a rebellious war launched and carried out by An Lushan and Shi Siming.

An Lushan, surnamed Kang, is a mixed-race Hu from Liucheng, Yingzhou, and his mother is a witch.He lost his father when he was young, and remarried with his mother to the family of An Yanyan, a general of the barbarian tribe, so he changed his surname to An and the word Lushan.

In the early years of Kaiyuan, An Yanyan brought him back to the Tang Dynasty and served in the army of Zhang Shougui, the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou.

Seeing that he was brave and resourceful in battle, Zhang Shougui adopted him as his adopted son and recommended him to the imperial court. 】

[In the first year of Tianbao, Yushi Zhongcheng Zhang Lizhen went to Hebei for an interview. An Lushan flattered him in every possible way, and spent a lot of money to make friends with Zhang Lizhen's right and left as personal favors.

Zhang Lizhen entered the court and said that An Lushan was talented, so Li Longji appointed him as the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu and concurrently as the prefect of Liucheng, which gave An Lushan a chance to enter the court to perform affairs. 】

[After An Lushan entered the court, his performances were in line with the will. Xuanzong Li Longji admired An Lushan's clean and neat handling, so he was promoted to General Hushi.

In the third year, An Lushan also served as Fan Yang Jiedu envoy and Hebei interview envoy. 】

"An Lushan is also equipped with a general of hussars???"

"Didn't those state shepherds who held heavy soldiers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty wake up Tang Xuanzong? He actually gave Jiedushi such great power. This is digging his own grave!"

"The vassals and towns are separated, and the tail is too big to lose. I seem to have seen the hypocritical prosperity before the troubled times."

[At this time, the Tang court was ruled by the treacherous Prime Minister Li Linfu.

An Lu bribed him a lot, and Li Linfu also hated that the Confucian ministers' improvement in military exploits might be detrimental to him, so he persuaded Xuanzong to use a large number of foreign generals, so Li Longji loved An Lushan even more.

An Lushan is cunning in his heart, but on the surface he deliberately pretends to be ignorant and insensitive to cover up his nature.

Li Longji asked him to meet the crown prince, but he deliberately refused to bow down. The officials on the left and right accused him, but An Lushan said: "I don't know court etiquette. Who is the crown prince?"

Xuanzong Li Longji explained with a smile: "I will hand over the throne to him in a hundred years."

An Lushan quickly apologized and said: "I am stupid. I only know that there is a majesty in the world, but I don't know that there is a prince. I deserve death."

Just this one sentence made Li Longji very happy. 】

[An Lushan ordered his subordinate Liu Luogu to live in the capital, spying on the court for him.

When he was approaching his old age, his body became more and more obese, his abdomen was loose to the knees, and his arms pulled his abdomen hard to walk.But when dancing "Hu Xuan Wu" in front of the emperor, it can still be as fast as the wind.

Li Longji looked at his abdomen and said, "What is in Hu'er's belly that is so big?"

An Lushan replied: "There is only a heart!" Li Longji was moved by his "sincerity".

In the sixth year of Tianbao, An Lushan was promoted to be a royal doctor, and his wife Duan was named Mrs. Guo.

The emperor built a mansion for An Lushan in the capital, and asked the eunuchs to supervise the project, and warned them: "Deploy it carefully, An Lushan has big eyes, don't make him laugh at me." His gorgeousness surpassed his status.When the emperor came to Qinzheng Hall, a golden rooster curtain was set up in the east of the imperial seat, and a couch was placed in the middle, and An Lushan was ordered to sit there to show his favor.

The prince couldn't stand it anymore, and he remonstrated with Li Longji: "Since ancient times, the seat is not something that a minister should enjoy. Your Majesty loves Anlu Mountain too much, so you must be arrogant." Li Longji turned a deaf ear. 】

[Because the Tang Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, the officials and the people have long forgotten the war.Emperor Li Longji was also old, and was restrained and sealed by the favored beauty. Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong took control of the government alternately, resulting in chaos.

After An Lushan saw this, he thought the world was desirable, and the desire to rebel grew stronger in his heart.

After returning to Fanyang, An Lushan began to build Xiongwu City, expand soldiers, accumulate food, secretly dispatch Hu merchants to various places to do business, and at the same time purchase a large amount of rebel materials for him.

In order to confuse Li Longji, he deceived the chiefs of Khitan, held a large banquet, put anesthetics in the wine, and beheaded them all when they were drunk.

Unaware of the truth, the emperor thought that An Lushan was responsible for all these, so he rewarded him with an iron coupon and became the king of Dongping County.

An Lushan was still not satisfied, and asked to take over Hedong as well, so Xuanzong worshiped him as the prefect of Yunzhong and the Jiedu envoy of Hedong. 】

"An emperor is being played around by a fool. Tsk tsk tsk."

"There's nothing to make a fuss about, isn't our emperor being played around by eunuchs?"

"."

[In fact, both the crown prince and the prime minister were aware of the signs of An Lushan's rebellion.

Yang Guozhong played repeatedly to explain An Lushan's ambitions (he finally did the right thing), and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was also a little worried.

Yang Guozhong suggested to Li Longji: "Now that An Lushan is called to Beijing, if he intends to rebel and has a guilty conscience, he must be afraid that we will detain him and dare not come; if he has no intention of rebelling, he will definitely dare to come!"

Li Longji thought this was a good idea, so he ordered An Lushan to come to Beijing.

In a few days, he really came to An Lushan, and Li Longji's heart was relieved. He was glad that he did not blame An Lushan, and held a banquet in Huaqing Palace.

While drinking, An Lushan burst into tears in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, complaining while crying: "The minister is a barbarian, discriminated against, and has no knowledge, but the holy emperor does not dislike it, and keeps promoting him. I can't thank you enough!
I don't know where I offended Yang Guozhong, he has been trying to kill me, please the emperor be my master!"

After hearing this cry, Tang Xuanzong felt more sympathetic and trusted An Lushan, and even granted him the official position of Zuo Pushe. 】

"This An Lushan really dared to go to the capital? It seems that I underestimated him before."

"The capital of a traitor, this Anlu Mountain is not easy!"

"Tang Xuanzong should have been able to deal with An Lushan when he was young, but unfortunately, he is old and fatuous."
