But even more surprising things continued to happen. After Tian Qian finished telling the truth, Yan Zhuang immediately followed up and said: "Your Highness, I very much agree with General Tian's words. Now your Majesty's actions have directly caused the people of Yan to be separated, and all the ministers are heartbroken. , the soldiers were in panic and had no way to resist the attacks of several Tang troops. If His Highness did not stand up and act on His Majesty's behalf, Dayan would soon be destroyed. Your Highness, for the future of Dayan, for the dozens of people in Luoyang City. For the future of thousands of soldiers, you should bravely stand up and carry out the responsibilities of Emperor Yan on behalf of His Majesty."

Yan Zhuang said, facing An Qingxu, he knelt down respectfully. Then Gao Shang also knelt down and asked loudly together: "Your Highness, you perform the duties of Emperor Yan on behalf of His Majesty. You are expected by everyone. Please, Your Highness Don't refuse, I urge you to step forward immediately and take over the responsibilities of Emperor Yan, and I will jointly request that His Majesty pass the throne to His Highness."

When these heavyweights said this, others still didn't understand what was going on, so they all knelt down and asked An Qingxu to replace An Lushan and fulfill the responsibility of the "Yan" emperor.

An Qingxu was startled by this scene and quickly stepped forward to help Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang. After helping the two men up, he stepped forward to signal Tian Qianzhen, who was kneeling on one knee, to stand up as well, and then called all the ministers who were kneeling to ask for orders. After he got up, An Qingxu replied: "My dear friends, I understand what you mean. It's just that my father's prestige is still there, but now he is still unwilling to hand over the affairs of the court to others, and he is not willing to let me, the prince, act as supervisor. In terms of state affairs, it would be very difficult for His Majesty to transfer power to Gu. Even if my father doesn’t want to pass it on to Gu, then Gu doesn’t want to either…"

An Qingxu actually already had his own ideas, and he was also preparing for it, but he could not express such a plan. It had to be proposed by his ministers first. After repeatedly evading it, he finally reluctantly agreed. In this way In order not to be criticized morally, he hesitated to express his embarrassment, hoping that the ministers in front of him would come up with a solution.

Due to the disastrous defeat of Xia Shibao, Tian Qianzhen fled back to Luoyang with only thousands of remnants, and was almost beheaded by An Lushan. Tian Qianzhen only saved his life after repeated pleas from An Qingxu. After hearing what An Qingxu said, Tian Qianzhen desperately He said: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is unwilling to hand over the power to you, you can follow the example of your ancestors and force him with military remonstrance..."

Tian Qianzhen's words were like a thunder, which made An Qingxu tremble and surprised others.

Tian Qianzhen did not hesitate and continued to add: "Your Highness, the general knows that Your Majesty is definitely not willing to hand over the power to Your Highness. If someone makes a request like this, not only will the requester be severely punished, but he will even be beheaded. Your Highness His safety will also be threatened. Therefore, the general feels that he must threaten His Majesty with military remonstrance to get His Majesty to agree to be crown prince. Your Highness, in times of crisis, you cannot be merciful as a woman!"

There were too many people at the scene. Tian Qianzhen said it so clearly, which would definitely shock many people. But this is exactly what An Qingxu needs, and this is what he thinks. He hopes that someone will tell such a thing, he If he pretended to be reluctant and was forced to accept after refusing, then no one would blame him. In order to create an atmosphere, he quickly refused and sternly blamed Tian Qianzhen: "How could General Tian say this? My father established Dayan, and his achievements have been long-lasting. Now, because of his physical illness, the situation is not very clear, which has led to changes in his temperament. He will be fine after a while. If he uses this method to deal with his father, it will be a disaster. What an unkind, unjust, disloyal, and unfilial person!"

Hearing what An Qingxu said, Tian Qianzhen didn't flinch at all. He sneered and then said: "Your Highness, if you continue to allow your majesty to behave like this and ruin Dayan without taking any measures, this would be unkind and unjust. , unfaithful and unfilial, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, killed his brothers and forced Li Yuan to abdicate. However, he achieved hegemony and later generations not only did not accuse him, but also praised him as a famous king. This man must do extraordinary things. If your Highness does not take any measures and allows Dayan to be destroyed, then you will be a sinner of history!"

Tian Qianzhen's words were so upright that even An Qingxu was stunned, and Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang and others became solemn.

Yan Zhuang immediately accepted Tian Qianzhen's words and echoed: "Your Highness, what General Tian said is that extraordinary people will do extraordinary things. If Your Highness is more indecisive, he may really allow Dayan to be annihilated. Become a sinner of history. The old minister also feels that only when His Highness takes over the power of the government and commands the world, and we the monarchs and ministers of Great Yan unite as one, can we fight against the Tang army, otherwise Great Yan will be a piece of loose sand..."

"Stop talking, Mr. Yan!" An Qingxu excitedly interrupted Yan Zhuang's words. After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he made up his mind and waved his hand to the other stunned people: "You guys, please step back first. Gu Ye I’m warning you, if anyone dares to leak what happened today, he will be severely punished!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After hearing the order, many people retreated in fear.

An Qingxu left Gao Shang, Tian Qianzhen, Yin Ziqi and others alone to continue discussing more confidential matters.

"Your Highness, you should send someone to strictly monitor these people today to prevent them from leaking information!" Seeing An Qingxu dismissing the people who were summoned to discuss the matter, Gao Shang said with concern: "Your Highness, I will follow my wishes. , I just had to make up my mind and take action immediately. This kind of thing will definitely be a nightmare for a long night!"

"Yes! Your Highness, you can no longer hesitate, you must act immediately!" Tian Qianzhen was also a little dissatisfied with An Qingxu letting so many people who came to discuss the matter leave like this.

An Qingxu also understood that what he did just now was quite stupid, and he quickly responded: "Don't worry, everyone, Gu will send people to monitor the houses of these people just now, and they will definitely prevent them from leaking the news. Gu is also afraid of long nights and dreams, so I want to Let’s discuss with everyone here how to arrange it appropriately!”

At this time, Yin Ziqi, who had been silent, spoke up: "Your Highness, I feel that Your Majesty will never give up power and will willingly abdicate. If His Highness wants to gain power, he must take tough measures!"

"General Yin is right. Your Highness, the general also thinks so. If your Majesty does not agree to abdicate, the only way is to remonstrate with soldiers," Tian Qianzhen said in a low voice: "The general knows that His Royal Highness has already placed some people around His Majesty. Man, if your Majesty does not agree, you can..."

Although Tian Qianzhen didn't say it clearly, everyone knew what he meant. Although everyone was a little timid, no one spoke against it.

Perhaps everyone has thought of this and thinks it should be the case, but no one wants it to happen, let alone say it from their own mouths. After all, this is a treasonous thing. Such a move may also lead to the collapse of "Dayan" After all, in Luoyang City today, there are still a strong majority of people loyal to An Lushan, including Shi Siming, Cai Xide, Gao Xiuyan, An Shouzhong and other generals with military power. These generals are very important to An Qingxu, the "Great Yan". "The "Prince" was not very cold, and An Qingxu did not even dare to make any move to win over them, for fear of arousing their suspicion, which would eventually make An Lushan suspicious as well.

"Your Highness, I also agree with General Tian's proposal. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done without the kindness of a woman!" Yan Zhuang agreed.

Because he was beaten by An Lushan many times, this minister who was originally An Lushan's confidant had long been resentful of An Lushan, and even had the urge to kill An Lushan with a knife. He was humiliated and suffered physical injuries. The trauma of his life has distorted Yan Zhuang's character, from respecting An Lushan like a god to hating him to the core. It can be said that he is the strongest hope that An Qingxu will replace An Lushan as the "Great Yan". "The Emperor's.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he was bewitched repeatedly during this period.

After hearing what several of his important counselors said, and no one else objecting, An Qingxu thought for a while, then nodded slightly in acquiescence: "What you dear, dear friends, are right. For the sake of Dayan, one's life and honor are often at stake. Ignore it, if you want to achieve great things, you can't be too strict with trivial matters, and you can't let your father-in-law beat all your beloved ministers to serious injury or death, and destroy the Yan Dynasty forever!"

Hearing what An Qingxu said, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, Yin Ziqi, and Tian Qianzhen all nodded to express their agreement.

Seeing that these most important supporters agreed, An Qingxu also breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately thought of another point, hesitated for a moment, and asked everyone: "My dear friends, with your support, I am alone. I feel that my wish will come true, but I am still worried. After all, my father's prestige is very high, and Fei Gu can compare with it. I am afraid... I am afraid of what might happen. I also want to ask you, what if we fail? , what should we do?”

An Qingxu's words shocked everyone again.

This sounds like a bad feeling to people. Why do you feel that the "Prince" An Qingxu is not optimistic at all?

But everyone also knows that of course this needs to be considered, and everything possible must be thought of, otherwise things will go wrong and there will be no way to remedy it.

It's just that no one has thought about this carefully, and no one has come forward to express their opinions.

An Qingxu frowned slightly, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the doubts in his heart.

After a while, Gao Shang finally stood up and expressed his opinion: "Your Highness, I feel that we should seriously consider the consequences of success and failure. We must be prepared to deal with it. If we succeed, I feel that Your Highness will be able to control the situation. Let the ministers be convinced that we, the Yan Dynasty, will unite to fight against the threat of the Tang army."

"If we fail, we can go out of the city and ask for surrender from the Tang army!" Gao Shang whispered, but said seriously: "I believe that as long as we surrender, the Tang army will be waiting for us. Instead of waiting for death, we should find a way out for ourselves. We were originally officials of the Tang Dynasty. If the Yan Dynasty failed in the end, it would be better to become prisoners and surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

The noble words shocked everyone again. What he said was quite unkind, but it was still a good idea. If they rise up to make trouble, they will be enemies with An Lushan and those who support him. There is one saying that does not mean Okay, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. The Tang Army is An Lushan’s enemy, so if they turn against An Lushan, they will also become enemies. If they fail in the end, then the Tang Army, the enemy who surrendered to the enemy, will also This is a better strategy.
