Chapter 323: Grievances
An Lushan obviously didn't mean to stop there, and Wang Yuan actually wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about An Lushan. Most of the An Lushan in the history books and movies and television of later generations are depicted extremely facetically, and the An Lushan in front of you is the real flesh-and-blood An Lushan. And if history will not change, it is this person in front of him who caused the largest rebellion in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and a deep understanding of An Lushan is of great significance to him.
An Lushan stretched out his sleeves nonchalantly to wipe the dripping wine from his beard, reached out and grabbed a hot roast leg of lamb and took a bite and munched. "When I was eleven years old, the Turks attacked our tribe, and my mother and I were given as slaves by the Turkic king to the Turkic general An Bo Note. An Bozhu's brother An Yanyan saw that my mother was a little beautiful, so he asked my mother to be a concubine. My mother took me with her, and An Yanyan agreed, so I changed my surname to An and named it Lushan. An Yanyan treats me very badly and doesn't treat me as a stepson, of course, I have never treated him as my father, there is only one father in my heart, and no one can replace him. ”
An Lushan put down the leg of mutton, wiped his hands, and tried his best to recall the past with a pensive face.
"An Yanyan let me live with the slaves, slept in the cattle and sheep pen at night, gave me leftovers to eat, and whipped me out of anger when I was unhappy. His own son, An Daohai and Anpingzhuang, also bullied me, scolding me for being a wild breed of the Xi people, and I kept them all in my heart. ”
"These dogs, they treat their father like this, father, where are they now? The son took someone to cut off their dog's head to make the father angry. An Qingxu said angrily.
"Yes, we are also willing to avenge An Shuai, cut off their dog's head and give it to An Shuai, and let An Shuai use their head as a urinal." The crowd was agitated and shouted.
An Lushan smiled and said, "I want you to do my business for me?" Of course I will avenge my revenge. In the early years of Kaiyuan, when I was twenty-one years old, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks went to war, and An Bozhu's tribe was defeated by the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses. One night in the north, I secretly poisoned the wine they were drinking, and that night Lian An Yanyan and his two sons, along with several of his men, were stewed in a pot, and all of them were poisoned by me. I cut off all their heads, hung them on my body, and fled south on horseback with my mother in my arms. But my mother blamed me for poisoning An Yanyan and refused to go with me, holding An Yanyan's body and crying, while I was not paying attention, she actually drank the remaining poisonous wine and committed suicide. Hey, teach me to be caught off guard. ”
An Lushan's face was full of remorse, the tips of the hair on his forehead hung down, covering his gloomy eyes, and his breathing was a little short. None of the people on the seat dared to answer, An Lushan killed his mother in disguise, but no one dared to say a word, for fear of being blamed.
"Ling Tang is really a kind and righteous person. not only had an explanation for An Shuai's father, but also gave an explanation to An Yanyan, and thought a lot about An Shuai's thoughts. Someone spoke quietly.
Everyone looked at the sound in unison, but saw Wang Yuan holding the wine bowl to his lips without moving, with a smile on his face. Everyone glared angrily, and someone immediately reprimanded Wang Yuandao: "What do you know? Random interjections. ”
An Lushan laughed and sighed: "None of you can see it clearly, what Wang Qin's envoy said is very true, I actually figured out this truth after several years." At first, I thought that my mother's suicide was a moment of confusion, but then I understood that my mother was indeed affectionate and righteous, and I also understood my mother's thoughts. At that time, I had grown up, and my mother had finally saved my father's blood and bones by enduring the humiliation, and An Yanyan was no longer good to me, after all, she had raised me up. If it wasn't for An Yanyan's acceptance at that time, it's hard to say whether my mother and I would have survived. On the one hand, my mother's death is because An Yan is kind to our mother and son, and on the other hand, it is also an explanation to my father. This is exactly what is both affectionate and righteous. She knew that I was going south to Datang, and she didn't want to be a burden to me, so she chose to commit suicide. Wang Qin, you are very powerful, I admire you a little. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a matter of speculation according to common sense." Ling Tang licks the calf deeply, and will do whatever it takes for you to survive, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, although An Yanyan is not good to An Shuai, but he must be excellent to Ling Tang. Ling Tang couldn't help but be grateful for his kindness, but he felt that he couldn't stand An Shuai's biological father, and Ling Tang must have suffered a lot in his heart. ”
An Lushan raised his hand and hammered the table, which shook the things on the table, and sighed: "If only I could be as empathetic as Wang Qin, I would know my mother's heart." ”
Wang Yuan smiled and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he asked, "Then An Shuai took An Yanyan and their heads to the Tang Dynasty?" ”
An Lushan smiled and said: "Exactly, after burying my mother, I took An Yanyan and their heads to the Tang military camp. With these heads as a greeting gift, I have the capital to live. was first awarded the fire chief, and then slowly boiled, slowly struggled, and finally had the current situation. Originally, I planned to restore my original surname after coming to Datang, but as Wang Qin's envoy said, An Yanyan has the grace of nurturing me after all, and I killed his sons, so I will still have the surname An, which can be regarded as leaving some incense for him. Grace is grace, hatred is revenge, revenge I want to revenge, and grace cannot be ignored, this is my An Lushan's way of life. ”
The crowd applauded and the voices of praise were endless. An Lushan leaned back on the big chair with a smile and sighed: "Ben Shuai is very happy tonight, and he drank a few more bowls of wine, so there are a lot of words, Wang Qin is afraid that he is tired of listening to it." ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "I listened to it with relish, how could I be bored, I didn't expect An Shuai's experience to be so bumpy, just in response to that sentence, a person's success is not easy to achieve." Easy success is not real success. ”
An Lushan nodded and laughed: "Sure enough, what the literati said is good, and these two sentences are well summarized." Originally, Ben Shuai wanted to talk to you about the war on the border, but it was too late today, anyway, Wang Qin's envoy was in my Fanyang, and he could drink and talk at any time, so let's not talk about it today. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I don't want to disturb An Shuai too much." An Shuai returned from the border town of Chongzhou, and his body must be tired, so it would be disrespectful to ask more. ”
An Lushan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern." I don't know when Wang Qin's official business will start, so I will ask Mr. Yan and An Qingxu to cooperate with you. ”
Wang Yuan said: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, but I wanted to rush back to Chang'an a year ago, and I heard that it would snow here in less than half October, so I still want to finish it as soon as possible." My idea is to take a casual walk around and have a look, and when His Majesty asks when I return to the capital, I also have something to say and make a difference. If it is convenient, I would like to leave tomorrow for a trip to Xiongwu City, which is under construction, and then go around the border north of Xiongwu City to the area of Chongzhou in Pinglu, and come back, I am afraid that it will be almost the end of the month. After chatting with An Shuai in Youzhou for a few more days, I should go back to the capital. An Shuai, what do you think? ”
An Lushan laughed and said, "Is it so urgent? Okay, just listen to your arrangement, and Mr. Yan and An Qingxu will go to Xiongwu City with you tomorrow. However, please forgive me for not being able to go along. ”
Wang Yuan got up and arched his hand and said, "How dare you, accompanied by Mr. Yan and the second son, I am already grateful." ”
An Lushan stood up and said, "Okay, then it's decided." Yan Zhuang, An Qingxu, tomorrow you will prepare the itinerary, the border is restless, the safety of the envoy is extremely important, if there is a mistake, you two will come to see you. ”
Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Follow the orders of the marshal." ”
An Lushan turned around and smiled at Wang Yuan: "Then that's the end of today." ”
Wang Yuan bowed down and said with a smile: "I'm bothered, I'm leaving, thank you An Shuai for your hospitality." ”
An Lushan laughed and stood with his hands. Wang Yuan saluted and took Gongsun Lan and Liu Xun straight out under the eyes of everyone.
Outside the gate of Anfu, the cold wind blew, and Wang Yuan suddenly woke up. But seeing that the torches on the street in front of him were bright, hundreds of people and horses were standing at the corner of the street, and when they saw Wang Yuan and the other three, several horses galloped over, and some people spoke loudly.
"Teacher, teacher, are you alright?" It was Liu Jun's voice. Next to Liu Jun were Liu Dehai and Qingyun'er Ziyun'er, and several of them looked at Wang Yuan with concern.
Wang Yuan frowned and pointed to the soldiers holding torches at the corner of the street and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
An Dehai said: "The humble and Liu Xiaogongzi were worried about your safety, so they brought the brothers to meet outside the An Mansion. ”
Wang Yuan scolded angrily: "Nonsense, who asked you to answer?" What the hell is it going on? I'm just here for a banquet in Anfu, what do you want you to worry about? You should all fart what I said, right? ”
"......" Liu Dehai and Liu Jun were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.
Zi Yun'er said, "Aren't you still worried about you?" ”
Wang Yuan reprimanded: "What are you worried about? This is Youzhou City, will there be any worries about your life? I'm going back to settle accounts with you. Liu Dehai immediately led people back to the barracks. ”
Wang Yuan scolded angrily, rode his horse out, and galloped away by himself.
Ziyun'er rolled her eyes angrily, Qingyun'er comforted her softly, and everyone hurriedly chased after Wang Yuan.
