Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 342 An Qingxu ascends the throne

Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu came out of the hall, enduring the pain in their bodies, Yan Zhuang's face was full of gloom.

An Qingxu's face was not good-looking, and there was a wave of fear.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has been having nightmares about your elder brother His Highness An Qingzong in recent days. He thinks that it was because we persuaded us to raise troops too hastily that caused His Highness An Qingzong to be beheaded by the Tang court without even a chance to escape. The death of His Highness Zong was blamed on us. Sooner or later, His Majesty will kill us." Yan Zhuang has already learned from Li Zhuer the reason why he and An Qingxu were repeatedly summoned by An Lushan to beat him. This made Yan Zhuang panic.

Hearing what Yan Zhuang said, An Qingxu was also very panicked and frightened.

"What should I do?" An Qingxu asked in fear.

Both of them were afraid that one day they would be killed by An Lushan because of this incident, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

That night, Li Zhu'er sneaked out of the palace while An Lushan was sleeping soundly, and found Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu.

The three of them have been severely beaten by An Lushan these days. Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu can also be said to have a reason, but Li Zhuer is simply too close to An Lushan, and he serves An Lushan personally every day.

The court ladies and eunuchs who served An Lushan together with Li Zhuer had changed a few times. If Li Zhuer hadn't been useful to An Lushan, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

Li Zhuer was also afraid that he would be found useless by An Lushan that day, so he would be beaten to death by An Lushan.

In addition to fear, Li Zhuer also has resentment, resentment that An Lushan castrated him, resentment that An Lushan beat him all the time, he wants to get rid of this predicament more than anyone else.

"Lord Yan, Your Highness, Your Majesty's temperament is getting more and more violent. If this continues, the three of us may not be able to survive." Li Zhuer said.

"Is there anything Eunuch Li can do?" An Qingxu asked with panic in his eyes.

Yan Zhuang also looked at Li Zhuer.

A fierce look flashed in Li Zhu'er's eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to wipe his neck.

An Qingxu was startled, his face turned pale.

On the other hand, Yan Zhuang's eyes flickered, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was also a flash of murderous intent.Presumably Yan Zhuang had agreed to Li Zhuer's proposal and killed An Lushan.

Now, even if An Qingxu is persuaded to agree with their method, they will help An Qingxu to take over the throne after killing An Lushan. Not only will they get rid of the predicament that An Lushan may be killed at any time at this moment, but they can also control the "Dayan" through An Qingxu power.

The more Yan Zhuang thought about it, the more impulsive he felt, and something called ambition was brewing in his heart.An Qingxu's character is cowardly, bluffing, and he has no assertiveness. If he kills An Lushan and puts An Qingxu on the throne, with An Qingxu's temperament, he will definitely rely on him even more and listen to his arrangements in everything. Then——
Following Yan Zhuang and Li Zhuer's persuasion, An Qingxu also worried that he would be beaten to death by An Lushan one day, so for his own sake, he finally agreed to cooperate with Yan Zhuang and Li Zhuer.

Three nights later, An Lushan had just fallen asleep.

Li Zhu'er took out a dagger, stabbed it into An Lushan's fat stomach without hesitation, and with a swipe, directly opened a big hole in An Lushan's belly, and his belly was full. The intestines flowed out directly.

An Lushan woke up screaming, and wanted to reach out to the head of the bed, where there was a treasured knife he always prepared to guard against assassins.It's a pity that An Lushan didn't touch the precious knife. At this moment, An Lushan's vision was very blurred. Li Zhu'er took the opportunity to stab An Lushan in the chest again, and blood spattered Li Zhuer's face.

An Lushan screamed again, shaking the tent pole, and finally recognized Li Zhuer's identity from Li Zhuer's blurred figure.

"It turned out to be a house thief——" An Lushan was full of anger, but at this time he was at the end of his strength, and he didn't have any strength to fight back against Li Zhuer, so he died soon, tragically at the hands of his personal eunuch Li Zhuer.

Li Zhuer killed An Lushan, and the other eunuchs and maids in the hall were very afraid and trembling.

"If His Majesty does not die, we will be beaten to death every day. For the sake of our lives, some things have to be done. You must not spread the news of His Majesty's death. Lord Yan Zhuang and His Highness have already made arrangements!" Li Zhuer persuaded the eunuchs and maids present not to spread the news of An Lushan's death.

The eunuchs and maids present were also afraid that they would be beaten to death by An Lushan anytime, and they had no loyalty to An Lushan at all, so they soon united with Li Zhuer and concealed An Lushan's death.

Li Zhuer sent someone to inform Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu of the news.

"Father is dead, dead." An Qingxu was still a little scared and flustered, after all, he was his own father, and he also participated in it, so it could be regarded as patricide.

"Don't panic, Your Highness. Your Majesty is dead. From now on, you will be the emperor of our Great Yan, and the whole world will belong to you." Yan Zhuang was very happy when he heard the news of An Lushan's death, and hurriedly comforted An Qingxu.

Next, they will help An Qingxu ascend the throne step by step according to the plan.

Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu entered the palace soon.

Early the next morning, Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er declared that An Lushan was seriously ill and could not get out of bed, and canceled the court meeting.

Another day later, Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er falsely spread An Lushan's "imperial decree" and canonized An Qingxu as the crown prince.

On the third day, Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er announced that An Lushan had passed away.

On the fourth day, with the help of Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er, An Qingxu ascended the throne of Emperor 'Da Yan' smoothly.

With the help of An Lushan's "national funeral", he was buried in a hurry.The news of An Lushan's death and An Qingxu's ascension to the throne was like an earthquake, causing the whole world to tremble.

Jiannan Road.

Although only more than a year has passed, Tang Xuanzong has aged several years, and his hair has all turned gray.

Hearing the news of An Lushan's death, Tang Xuanzong stared at the dark night sky and remained silent.Regardless of whether An Lushan died or not, the Tang Dynasty has become such a mess, and the prosperity he created no longer exists.

It was also in Jiannan that Tang Xuanzong realized how wrong he was to use Yang Guozhong as prime minister.

Jiannan was originally a land of abundance, richer and richer than Guanzhong and Jiangnan, but Yang Guozhong's misfortune made him miserable.All over the world are gathering forces to oppose Anlu Mountain, but Jiannan Road is young and old, the economy is collapsing, the people are struggling to survive, and they can't spare a sliver of strength, so they can barely keep him and the noble concubine safe.

Tang Xuanzong stared blankly at his beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan not far away. Since Maweiyi, although Concubine Yang Guifei did not resent him, she also alienated him a lot. It is not as close as before. She talks to her daughter Princess Yongping every day. much more time than him.

Lingwu.

When the news reached Suzong Li Heng's ears, Suzong Li Heng burst into laughter with excitement, and took the opportunity to declare that An Lushan was doing something perverse, which caused the divine punishment.And issued an order to all walks of life in the world to encircle and suppress the rebels with all their strength.

All of a sudden, the morale of Datang was like a rainbow.On the front lines fighting against the rebels, the soldiers became so brave that the rebels retreated steadily.
