Secret belief kills the heart, and it kills the heart of the emperor.

All the details are just foreshadowing. The important thing is that Li Longji can see this letter. This letter can even be fabricated or fabricated. It doesn't matter what others think. The key is what Li Longji thinks.

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

If the secret letter clearly stated who to connect with, who to join forces with, when to raise troops, etc., it would actually become a joke, and Li Longji would not believe it at all.

But if you write a bunch of names and numbers that are confusing to people, the credibility will suddenly be much higher.

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

Things that are too straightforward are too fake, and things that are secretive can arouse people's doubts and suspicion.

Gu Qing put a lot of effort into preparing this letter. With a bunch of names and a bunch of numbers, he calculated the emperor's heart. The suspicion in Li Longji's heart finally grew uncontrollably like buds in spring.

It doesn't matter whether the secret letter is true or false, but Yang Guozhong's words touched the depths of Li Longji's soul.

An Lushan holds 200,000 troops and horses.

If he had complete trust in him before, Li Longji would not take him seriously at all. For such a loyal minister, it would be no problem even if he was allowed to control a million troops.

But since the secret letter appeared, Li Longji suddenly felt on pins and needles when he thought about the 200,000 troops and horses An Lushan held.

Even if every word in this secret letter is false from beginning to end, the 200,000 soldiers and horses in An Lushan's hands are really real.

Li Longji fell into deep thought. Sometimes the emperor's mentality is like a jealous wife who makes a lot of trouble. He will doubt whether his man has a dog outside without any evidence. His suspicion is very serious. Not to mention that he has such a fatal job in his hand.

's secret message.

Seeing that Li Longji was silent, Li Heng and Yang Guozhong quickly looked at each other, with joy flashing in their eyes.

Two people who were originally enemies joined forces for the first time under the guidance of Gu Qing, and the effect was very good.

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

Li Longji thought for a long time and said hesitantly: "Check it out...it might be a good idea."

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong were overjoyed and were about to add fuel to the fire. At this time, Gao Lishi reported outside the palace and asked An Lushan to see him.

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

After An Lushan entered the palace, he lay down at Li Longji's feet without saying a word, and kissed Li Longji's feet with his mouth. Li Heng and Yang Guozhong looked disgusted and disdainful when they saw this.

After the kiss, An Lushan suddenly opened his mouth and burst into tears, crying like a child weighing more than 300 pounds.

"Your Majesty, I heard the rumors in Chang'an early this morning. Your Majesty, there are traitors who want to harm me. They framed Zhongliang and bullied me, a barbarian. I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me."

Li Longji said warmly and comforted: "Lu'er, get up, I already know it's a rumor. A secret letter of unknown origin cannot prove anything. Am I 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, let alone saluted.

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong had angry faces and murderous intentions in their hearts.

This fat man must be eliminated!

"Your Majesty, I no longer dare to return to Fan Yang. I will serve as an official in Chang'an and fulfill my filial piety as a son and minister in front of Your Majesty's knees. For the military affairs of the three towns, please ask Your Majesty to send good generals. People say that I am fearful. I am known as a 'rebellious minister'.

I can't bear it." An Lushan said aggrievedly.

Li Longji laughed: "Don't talk like a child. How can the three towns guard Northern Xinjiang without Lu'er? I have always believed in your loyalty and will never be fooled by rumors. Lu'er will not betray me, right?"

An Lushan raised his tearful eyes and solemnly raised his hands and swore: "My minister An Lushan, if I have any words or deeds that go against the words and deeds of the Tang Dynasty and the Khan of Heaven, I will be killed by thunder from the sky, and will be reduced to the way of animals for the rest of my life, and will never be a human being."

Li Longji smiled happily, and then said heartbrokenly: "I have absolutely no intention of disbelief. Why did Lu'er make such a poisonous oath?"

An Lushan lowered his head and sobbed: "I am a vulgar warrior and a barbarian. Your Majesty is very fond of me. When the courtiers saw this, they became jealous and couldn't tolerate each other. Therefore, some slanderous words fell into your Majesty's ears to slander the Holy Spirit."

Listen. I am not good at words. I have been slandered by rumors and cannot speak my mind. I don’t know how to express my feelings..."

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

The faces of Li Heng and Yang Guozhong next to them gradually became ugly. An Lushan said some aggrieved words, not only expressing his feelings, but also secretly accusing the two of slandering the saints. He started to fight back so quickly. This fat man was really not simple.

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

Li Heng and Yang Guozhong were about to continue their slander, but Li Longji tiredly waved his hand and ordered the two to retreat.

The two looked at each other and excused themselves.

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

Having been immersed in the illusion of a prosperous age, Li Longji became more and more arrogant and complacent amidst the praises. Now with the appearance of this secret letter, Li Longji suddenly realized that there are many crises hidden under the appearance of a prosperous age, and internal and external troubles are endless.

, those gorgeous and luxurious prosperous times are becoming increasingly blurred.

"Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand..." Li Longji muttered to himself with a gloomy face.

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

"General Gao, what do you think of this secret letter?"

Gao Lishi trembled and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to have an opinion."

This time it was not a polite word. Gao Lishi knew the seriousness of this matter and really didn't want to say another word.

Li Longji smiled and sighed: "There are indeed many hidden dangers in the Tang Dynasty. The biggest hidden danger is not things, but people. People's hearts are the most difficult to judge. Whether the princes in the court are loyal or treacherous, I have

I can't see clearly, I...maybe I'm old."

Gao Lishi felt sad for a while and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is not old. The prosperous age under your Majesty's rule has just begun. It will continue for thousands of years."

Li Longji shook his head, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Whether that letter is true or false, the three towns in Anlu Mountain still need to check it. I want to know what the current situation is like in the three towns. The hoarding in the three towns

How much grain and grass, weapons and horses were purchased, as well as the generals who led the army, are they really all replaced by barbarians? These are what I want to know."

Gao Lishi said softly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has spies in every town..."

Li Longji sneered: "Can I still believe those informants? Every year they say that the world is at peace. Are all towns really at peace?"

Gao Lishi was stunned, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Longji closed his eyes and said slowly: "Send the palace's provincial minister Fu Cuo Lin to visit the three towns. Go in secret and don't reveal your whereabouts."

Gao Lishi took the order.

After pondering for a moment, Li Longji added: "Give An Lushan the purple-breasted brocade robe that I often wear, so that I can comfort him."

…………

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

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

The secret letter came from his hand, he was also the one who helped push Li Heng and Yang Guozhong into trouble, and even Li Longji's psychological changes were part of his calculations.

Thanks to the evaluation of Li Longji in the history books of his previous life, Gu Qing had a grasp of Li Longji's psychology.

An arrogant and arrogant emperor who only wanted to enjoy himself every day and retire in peace after creating a prosperous age. At the same time, he was also very suspicious. A secret letter was enough to make him suspicious and suspicious.

The Gu family has guests at their house today.

The guests are acquaintances.

After Li Twelve Niang heard the news, she immediately came to Gu Qing's house and told Gu Qing with a happy face that An Lushan was going to be in trouble.

Gu Qing calmly arranged the food and wine, and ordered someone to take out a jar of apricot blossom wine brewed by himself from the cellar and fill it up for Li Twelve Niang.

Seeing Gu Qing's calm and calm look, Li Twelve Niang was a little dissatisfied. How could she not be happy when her enemy was unlucky?

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

Gu Qing blinked innocently: "What did Aunt Li say? What am I?"

"Is An Lushan's bad luck because of you?"

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

Li Twelve Niang snorted coldly: "There's no need to hide it, it's you. Rumors have spread in Chang'an City that An Lushan's secret letter is really terrible. If the emperor doesn't doubt him, he will have something behind him. Such a deceptive layout

, who else could it be besides you?”

Gu Qing smiled calmly 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 establishment."

Li Twelve Niang stared at him blankly and sighed: "It really is you..."

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

Li Twelve Niang's eyes flashed with excitement, and she said with emotion: "As expected of the Gu family, your parents have a son, Ruosi, and they are all smiles. You are better than them."

"It's just a little cleverness, it doesn't count. If we really compete, Aunt Li can kill a hundred people like me. If you punch me, my ten thousand ideas will be useless." Gu Qing laughed to himself.

road.

Li Twelve Niang stubbornly shook her head: "One plan is to eliminate traitors, and the other is to stabilize the country. This is something that ten thousand vulgar warriors cannot do, but you did it. In recent years, I have felt more and more that many things in the world are based on force.

If it cannot be solved, sometimes a scholar can kill thousands of people with just one word or idea..."

"What I have been thinking about for more than ten years is to avenge your parents. During this period, I went to Fanyang Pinglu many times to assassinate An Lushan, but nothing happened. I even sacrificed the lives of more than ten disciples for this. Still,

It's all in vain, I didn't expect... you just compiled a secret letter and it shook the foundation of Anlu Mountain. In comparison, how small I am..."

Li Twelve's expression gradually turned gloomy, and she suddenly realized that she had been doing something meaningless all these years. She had put in so much effort and hard work, and taken such great risks, but it was not worth Gu Qing's idea.

Gu Qing comforted him and said: "Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and even though he was defeated, he was still glorious. Although he was defeated, the farewell songs by the Yishui River left the seeds of hope for the legacy of the Six Kingdoms. The death of Qin II was precisely because of

People in the world cannot be deceived."
