When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters.

The left prime minister of the Yan Kingdom was decided in just two words between the weak king and the powerful minister, which was as hasty as child's play.

Feng Yu was stunned in the hall for a long time without making a sound. Seeing An Qingxu's unwilling expression, Shi Siming looked at him with a smile. Feng Yu suddenly understood something and knelt down forward. Feng Yu knelt down and did not know whether it was intentional or not.

Right in front of him was Shi Siming.

This action made An Qingxu furious again, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he wanted to be angry but did not dare to be angry, and his bad and cowardly nature was clearly demonstrated.

"Thank you so much, General Shi, and your Majesty for your grace." Feng Yu bowed to the ground.

This sentence made An Qingxu's eyes grow murderous again.

When thanking him, he placed Shi Siming in the front and the Emperor in the back. His intentions were clearly revealed.

When etiquette collapses and music breaks down, when ministers lose their courtesy, the country will perish!

The deep friendship we formed when we visited brothel girls together was gone in the wind. The four pillars of life are unreliable, and the world is not worth it.

Shi Siming was very satisfied with Feng Yu's performance.

With control of the palace, military power, and a friend whom he trusted very much was promoted to the post of left prime minister, Shi Siming could be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand.

Who is this dandy emperor in front of him? Apart from playing with women in the harem and bowing to him when there are many people, what else can he do? With just a word of his own, he can be pulled from the throne at any time.

Life or death, it all depends on his thoughts.

It's just that now that the Yan regime has been defeated, Shi Siming has plans for the future and does not want to be the first person, otherwise becoming the emperor will not be a matter of his own words.

"General Shi, I want to patrol Hebei. When is the best day to start?" An Qingxu put on the emperor's airs and explained his escape as fresh and refined as Li Longji.

Shi Siming bowed slightly and said: "I think we can set off tomorrow, so it won't be too late. The Anxi Army may soon besieging Chang'an City."

An Qingxu was also a little scared. Although he was reluctant to part with the huge and bustling Chang'an City, he knew better that he could not defeat the Anxi army with his current strength, so it would be better to escape quickly.

The sage once said that if a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, even if a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, the emperor will certainly not be able to erect one.

"I have agreed to General Shi's request and conveyed my wishes. Tomorrow I will patrol Hebei and all the officers and soldiers of the army will accompany me to protect you."

All the ministers bowed their heads and said: "I will accept the order."

After the court meeting was over, the ministers left the calyx building.

Shi Siming walked in the front, and no one among the officials dared to take a step ahead of him. They all walked slowly and obediently behind him.

Shi Siming enjoyed the feeling of having great power and walked slowly ahead.

Feng Yu took three steps at a time to catch up with Shi Siming. He was slightly behind by a shoulder's distance. He bowed and smiled and said, "Thank you so much, General Shi, for promoting me. I am willing to serve General Shi from now on."

Shi Siming smiled and said: "Brother Feng Xian, please don't be polite. In the past few years, you and I have been mutually beneficial to each other. It was also your plan to kill An Lushan. Otherwise, I would not be as successful as I am today. The position of left prime minister is just a humiliation for my brother."

Yes, but our Yan Dynasty does not have a right prime minister, and my dear brother is already the first civil servant in the court. From now on, I will entrust my dear brother to take care of the affairs of the government."

Feng Yu showed a flattering smile: "I am willing to devote my whole life to General Shi."

Then Feng Yu's smile faded, and he said with a sad expression: "General, our Wang Shi Tongguan has been newly defeated, Chang'an City cannot be defended, and it will be difficult to retreat to Hebei. If Gu Qing refuses to give up and sends troops to pursue, we can't do it all at once.

Back and back again.”

Ever since the news of Tongguan's defeat came back to Chang'an, Shi Siming had been neither happy nor angry, and behaved very calmly, so calm that even Feng Yu felt abnormal.

Theoretically, all the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were controlled by Shi Siming. More than 100,000 soldiers were lost in the two battles outside Tongguan, and the strength of the rebel army was reduced by more than half overnight. Logically speaking, Shi Siming should be furious at this time, but he started from scratch.

It was so calm and indifferent to the end that Feng Yu was quite puzzled.

Shi Siming smiled faintly and said: "Don't panic, dear brother, as long as you remain loyal, you and I will eventually have a way to survive. Not only will we survive, but we will still enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Feng Yu seemed to have some understanding, but he still pretended to be confused and said: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I don't know what the general means..."

Shi Siming said slowly: "Brother Xian, how do you view the current situation in the world?"

Feng Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "I risk my life to tell you the truth. I am afraid that our King Yan Division will become increasingly unable to stop the Anxi Army. Even if we retreat to the north, we will eventually be defeated again and again by the Anxi Army."

Shi Siming nodded calmly and said: "Yes, I think so too. Everything has a certain number, and everything also has variables. The certain number is that my great Yan Qi will not last long, and the fate of the country will be over. I believe anyone with a discerning eye can see this. What about the variables?

?Haha, the variable lies in Gu Qing."

Feng Yu's expression changed slightly: "How is Gu Qing?"

"Gu Qing is the son of a weak man, but he is a tiger and wolf. He has elite soldiers and generals who are arrogant in the world, and he is also a hero who can change the world. Even if we return to Hebei, the Tang Dynasty will welcome back their new emperor Li Heng, and he will be in the new court of the Tang Dynasty.

Here, what kind of role do you think Gu Qinghui is?"

Feng Yu's eyelids twitched unnoticeably, and he said in a low voice: "Gu Qing and I, Dayan, have won many battles, which is a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, he has the elite troops of Anxi, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely give him a high official position."

To show his merit."

Shi Siming laughed and said: "Is it so simple? Haha, brother Feng Xian, why do you have to hide your clumsiness in front of me? You must know very well that after Gu Qing welcomes the emperor and returns to power, then Gu Qing will be the Shi Siming of Dayan in the Chang'an court.

, Li Heng is the An Qingxu of the Yan Kingdom, the two are exactly the same..."

The smile suddenly faded, and Shi Siming said coldly: "Brother, can you see the way An Qingxu looked at me in the palace today? Haha, it was a look full of murderous intent. He had long wanted to get rid of me, but... haha, military power

In my hands, he only dares to have this thought, but does not dare to take any action. This will be the case for the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He wants to kill Gu Qing, but cannot kill Gu Qing, and has to compromise and tolerate everything with Gu Qing. Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty,

Have they ever feared the Emperor?"

After saying this, Shi Siming laughed wildly, and the powerful officials showed their wild and disobedient expressions.

Feng Yu smiled and said: "General Shi is right, but... what does Gu Qing have to do with our destiny?"

Shi Siming hummed and said: "After the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was welcomed back to Chang'an, I estimate that there will be great chaos in the Tang Dynasty court soon. Li Heng will not be willing to sleep under the wings of powerful ministers. At that time, Li Heng, in terms of the hatred in his heart,

I hate Gu Qing even more than I hate the rebels. Since no one in the court can check and balance Gu Qing, then... if I, Shi Siming, surrender to the Tang court with An Qingxu's head, do you think the Emperor of Tang will be happy?"

"Gu Qing has military power, and I also have military power. He is in Guanzhong and I am in Hebei. The emperor, doesn't he just like to balance the left and right? I personally give him a balance, and Gu Qing has to be afraid of three points. How about the emperor?

How much will his throne be used to please me?"

Feng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Shi Siming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So I just said that no matter how things change in the world, you and I will eventually be able to continue to enjoy glory and wealth. Soon you will know that what I said is true."

After a long time, Feng Yu smiled bitterly and bowed to Shi Siming: "General Shi's plan is so far-reaching that the subordinates are so impressed that they are so impressed."

Shi Siming said deeply: "Brother Feng Xian and I met in Pinglu. I already know who you are and you are a trustworthy person. I hope that you and I will work together in the future and avoid suspicion. Even if you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, it will only be a matter of expediency."

Plan, if there is a chance in the future, we can only rebel against the Tang Dynasty for a moment. If you and I can share the hardships, we should also share the wealth."

Feng Yu held Shi Siming's hand without emotion, and said movedly: "If you are rich and noble, you will love each other."

…………

Feng Yu returned to his house in Pingkangfang, looking a little lonely.

This house originally belonged to the traitor Li Linfu. Later, after the rebels occupied Chang'an, many mansions and mansions in the city were divided up by the rebel generals and advisers. After An Lushan was assassinated and Shi Siming came to power, Feng Yu, who was highly regarded by Shi Siming, became inexplicably

Got this house.

There were nearly a hundred servants in the house. As soon as Feng Yu got off his horse, the housekeepers and servants in the house gathered around him. They asked him how he was doing, and led his horse to kick. Feng Yu smiled and greeted the servants, then went straight into the backyard.

In the backyard, Li Jianjiu sat boredly, looking up at a cherry blossom tree in the yard.

It was autumn, and the cherry blossoms had already withered. There was a bird perched on the bare tree trunk. Li Jianjiu looked at the bird with a gentle smile on his lips.

It seemed...it had been so many years since she had been so leisurely. In her memory, every day was just practicing swordsmanship, being scolded by Li Twelve Niang, and then practicing swordsmanship without end.

Until I met Feng Yu, a man who spoke poorly but seemed to have an irresistible charm. That sunny smiling face, the expression that made people laugh every time he winked and raised his eyebrows, and the hidden

Deep in his heart, he bears the burden of humiliation, is trapped in the enemy camp for the promise he once made, and uses various faces to deal with the fearlessness and great wisdom between the enemies...

Who could have imagined that a traitor who had disturbed the peace of the world, the sworn enemy of Gu Qing and Li Twelve Niang, would actually die under Li Twelve Niang's sword under the instigation of this man with a few words and the silent ambush behind his back.

The blood feud involving two generations must be repaid.

This man is really magical, and Li Jianjiu has already fallen for him.

Feng Yu returned to the backyard and saw Li Jianjiu staring at the lonely bird on the cherry tree. He frowned, walked behind her, gently hugged her shoulders, and the two of them stared at the tree together.

of that bird.

Li Jianjiu didn't look back, she knew it was him.

"I heard that Mr. Gu once wrote a poem for Concubine Yang, 'In the sky, I wish to be a winged bird, and on the ground, I wish to be a branch.' Did this bird lose its companion and mourn here?" Li Jianjiu murmured.

.

Feng Yu blinked and said with a smile: "Ajiu, you are Li Twelve Niang's disciples. You are the real you. You are the real one. This childlike attitude at this moment makes me a little panic...

…”

Li Jianjiu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "People say some intimate things to you before the flowers and under the moon, can't you just accept it?"

Feng Yu blinked blankly: "Who is 'other'?"

"The 'other' is me!"

Feng Yu suddenly said "oh", and then he responded to the situation very wisely. He looked at the birds perching on the cherry blossom tree. After a long time, he shook his head and said: "No, I'm too thin. It's not enough for me to eat in one bite. Ah Jiu, let's eat something."

Besides, do you want to eat roasted leg of lamb? I learned the craft from Brother Gu when I was in Anxi, and I am good at roasting leg of lamb..."

"Bastard!" Li Jianjiu was so angry that he punched him back.

Feng Yu laughed loudly, took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms and gave it to her, and said sternly: "You dare to beat the prime minister of the dynasty, even if you kill him ten times, it won't be enough."

"The prime minister of the dynasty?" Li Jianjiu was stunned, took the yellow silk, glanced at it hastily, and said in surprise: "An Qingxu made you the left prime minister?"

"That's right, Shi Siming, who is worthy of the name of the prime minister of the dynasty, forced An Qingxu to be granted the title. Shi Siming said that from now on, I will handle the political affairs of the court."

Li Jianjiu was shocked and said: "Shi Siming actually trusts you so much?"

Feng Yu smiled faintly: "It's not about trust, it's just about wooing him. In order to completely isolate An Qingxu, Shi Siming put a lot of thought into it. I'm just one of the chess pieces in his hands. The difference is that my chess piece may be more important.

"

Li Jianjiu rolled his eyes at him angrily, looked around, and chuckled: "If Shi Siming knows your true identity, I will kill you a thousand times and you won't be able to forgive my hatred."

Feng Yu also lowered his voice and said: "You arrange for someone to send a letter to Brother Gu and tell him that the rebels will set out to withdraw from Chang'an tomorrow, and the Anxi army can easily regain Chang'an. In addition, Shi Siming told me today that if we return to Chang'an,

After Hebei, he was determined to surrender to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and asked An Qingxu to surrender with his head. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty hated Brother Gu deeply and would definitely agree to Shi Siming's surrender. From then on, Shi Siming would be used to check Brother Gu's status in the court...

…”

"This move is a conspiracy and is quite troublesome. Let Brother Gu figure out how to deal with it. My suggestion is that Brother Gu might as well be stronger and send the Anxi army north to directly destroy the rebels and break this dead game.

"

Li Jianjiu muttered silently for a long time, nodded and said seriously: "I have written down every word you said, and will immediately arrange for someone to leave Chang'an City to deliver a message to Mr. Gu."

Feng Yu added: "There is one more thing that I would like to tell Brother Gu..."

"you say."

Feng Yu's expression suddenly turned gloomy, he looked at the sky with deep eyes, and said sadly: "Tell brother Gu, I have been named the left prime minister by the rebels, and I am almost considered their boss as a spy. In the future, the Anxi army will suppress the rebellion."

That day, I was very worried that my men would cut off my head to ask for credit from Brother Gu. I cannot accept such an outcome..."

…………

Tongguan, Anxi Army Camp.

"Feng Yu has become the left prime minister of the puppet government?" Gu Qing turned around in shock and stared at the person who sent the message.

The person who delivered the letter was a woman, and she was also one of Li Twelve Niang’s female disciples.

The female disciple pursed her lips, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held it back, nodded and said seriously: "Yes, An Qingxu was forced by Shi Siming this morning and was forced to make Feng Yu the left prime minister."

Gu Qing scratched his head and murmured: "You bitch, you were promoted faster than me, how lucky are you..."

The female disciple still held back her laughter and said: "Feng Yu also said that he was worried that when the Anxi Army suppressed the rebellion in the future, he would be plotted against his back by his subordinates. He used his head to ask for credit from Mr. Gu. He said that he could not accept such an outcome...

…”

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "How about I let the word out that Prime Minister Feng only wants to live and not die?"

Sighing, Gu Qing immediately denied himself: "It's not enough to survive, but it has inspired others. Today I will remove the tip of the wing, and tomorrow I will give him an elbow. Anyway, as long as he breathes, he is still alive, Feng Yu, that piece of shit."

I probably won’t accept such an outcome either…”

The female disciple snorted, then quickly adjusted her expression and said seriously: "Mr. Gu has thought carefully."

Gu Qing was also a little worried: "This spy is too confident, really."

Then Gu Qing looked at the female disciple and said: "Please go back and send a message. When the rebels withdraw from Chang'an and head north, let Feng Yu slip away quietly. It will become more and more dangerous for him to stay in the rebel camp. What happens next?

It will be resolved by the Anxi Army on the battlefield."

The female disciple cupped her fists and said: "Master Gu, Feng Yu said that he still wants to stay in the rebel army. He also said that after the rebellion was suppressed, Master Gu is still in a lot of trouble. He is a chess piece that has fallen into the enemy's territory.

, maybe it can be useful at a critical moment.”

Gu Qing sighed: "Why insist on being trapped in the den of tigers and wolves? He has already done enough..."

After the female disciple left, Gu Qing stared alone in front of the sand table for a long time.

The Anxi army was advancing steadily, and the soldiers were elated. However, as the commander of the first army, Gu Qing saw that the future was still full of crises.

After Li Heng returned to Chang'an, most areas of the Tang Dynasty gradually returned to peace, but endless internal fighting followed. In order to consolidate their respective powers, there was bound to be a fierce fight between Gu Qing and Li Heng.

How to win this fierce battle, how to completely control the power of the court, and slowly implement various reforms with his own ideas, so that the people can enjoy peace and prosperity for at least a hundred years, is a huge challenge for Gu Qing.

The curtain of the handsome tent was opened at a corner, and a cute little head poked in, looking around furtively, like a drugged female investigator who had broken into the enemy camp.

Gu Qing had already seen her out of the corner of his eye. He sighed and said, "Your Highness, if you want to come in, come in. You are a noble person, why should you lose your manners?"

Wan Chun immediately opened the door curtain and rushed in, snorting proudly.

Gu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Why are you so sneaky, Your Highness?"

Wan Chun let out a sigh and said: "You are so sneaky. I am just worried that Sisi, that charming girl, is inside and does something shameless and scandalous with you. If I expose you, wouldn't you be so embarrassed and angry?"

Kill yourself to thank the world?"

Gu Qing was stunned for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Highness, you underestimate the face of Chen and Sisi..."

Wan Chun snorted: "That's right, you have always been cheeky."

Gu Qing glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

According to Wan Chun's logic, when she was looked down upon by him in Zhongnan Mountain, she didn't commit suicide in shame and anger to thank the world. Everyone has the same thick skin, so who have the right to criticize me?

After a pause, Wanchun said softly: "I heard that the Anxi Army is going to Chang'an?"

"yes."

"Can we recapture Chang'an City?"

"The rebels will leave tomorrow and the Anxi army will just take over Chang'an, which can be easily recovered."

Wan Chun became happy: "So, my father will return to Chang'an from Shu soon?"
