Chapter 155: Lushan Broken Claw

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Someone shouted, there was a disturbance in front of the Wei Mansion, more than a hundred young men and women who did not want to leave rushed up, only to see the side door of the Wei Mansion open, and a carriage drove out from inside, and more than a dozen Li Qing'an's personal guards surrounded the left and right, seeing a large crowd of people rushing up, more than a dozen personal soldiers hurriedly stopped and shouted: "My general is drunk, so drunk that he can't wake up, please forgive me!" ”

When everyone heard that Li Qing'an was drunk, their faces showed disappointment, and they had to disperse in a daze, and at this time, Zhengjiang Xiaonian, a member of the pro-soldier team, bowed his hand to Wei Jian again: "Wei Envoy, my general is drunk, and he can't say goodbye to the envoy, I hope to understand." ”

Wei Jian smiled slightly, and said politely: "Please tell General Li that my Wei Mansion welcomes him as a guest at any time." ”

"I must tell you in the next place, Wei Yuanjun, we will go first."

The carriage slowly drove away from the Wei Mansion, and Wei Yingwu, the son of Wei Lian, saw the carriage walking away, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "Didn't you apologize for breaking my table?" ”

"You know!"

Wei Jian turned around and scolded his son fiercely, and said with a calm face: "Can you compare to half of him?" People are young to do the ability to do the degree, what ability do you have, all day long only know to make trouble for me, only know how to fight cocks and run horses, I finally warn you, you like poetry, just give me a good study to write poetry, if I come back next time I don't see you grow, I will peel your skin. ”

Wei Yingwu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more, Wei Lian snorted heavily, and then turned around and asked Wei Tao: "Big brother, what do you think of this Li Qingan?" ”

"I think this person is very deep in the city, and it is useful to write those poems."

"I don't agree with Big Brother's words."

Wei Jiansu smiled slightly: "This person can live and die with the soldiers, write such a poem I think it is a matter of love, it is not deliberate, dancing the sword and chanting the house, that is the pride of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, as for drawing the sword and slashing the table, that is, the young man is crazy for love, I like him very much, but in the end I estimate that he is pretending to be drunk, and after the fact, his mind is calm, and he finds that he can't explain to the Wei family, and the surname Suo is drunk to cover up, this young man is a person with the surname of love, not as the eldest brother said. ”

Wei Cang also smiled: "I agree with the third brother's opinion, this person is indeed a person with a surname, and he actually draws a sword to win the beauty as a dignified envoy, it is really interesting, this person can have a deep friendship with the Wei family." ”

Wei Tao was speechless, he fished three boats of bronze in Yangzhou, he suspected that Li Qing'an dropped the bag, but there was no evidence, so he suffered a dumb loss, he even suspected that King Qing's gold was swallowed by Li Qing'an, of course, he also hoped that it was what Wei Jiansu said, otherwise this Li Qing'an would still be less troublesome, Wei Tao smiled and no longer insisted on his opinion.

"That's it! We won't talk about it. ”

Wei Jian waved his hand and smiled: "Since the guests are gone, let's continue to negotiate." ”

The brothers of the Wei family have decided that to deal with Yang Zhao, it is not enough to rely on the strength of the Wei family, in the past, the Wei family was the backbone of the Tide file, after Wei Jian was deposed, the Wei family broke away from the Tide file, and now the power of the East Palace is gradually rising, and it can be considered to reattach to the East Palace.

......

Li Qing'an's carriage traveled about two miles, and Li Qing'an fell asleep in the carriage, as if he was really drunk, at this time, Jiang Xiaonian whispered outside the car: "General, there is no one left." ”

Li Qing'an's eyes slowly opened, he was not drunk, but he had a splitting headache, sat up slowly, stretched his waist, and said to himself with a smile: "It's still good to be drunk!" Even the table can be paid without compensation. ”

"Xiao Jiang, is Sister Dugu's carriage gone?"

"Back to the general, they're gone."

Li Qingan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay down, but in his mind he was imagining the irrepressible surprise of Dugu Mingyue at that moment, the moment when the delicate face bloomed, what left Li Qingan with a sense of amazement, Li Qingan couldn't help laughing, this girl may have heard about Cui Ningbi.

But he had drunk too much, and a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he didn't know anything in a daze.

......

Dugu sisters are the first guests to leave the Wei Mansion, the carriage is walking on the empty street, Dugu Mingyue has been silent since Li Qing'an danced the sword, she sat quietly by the car window, staring at a tree and a scene on the street, her eyes were as tender as water, Li Qing'an's sword opened her heart, Li Qing'an's cheerful masculinity deeply moved her, and also made her understand Li Qing'an's heart for herself.

In her heart, she still reflects Li Qing'an's demeanor when he drank and danced the sword, 'Picking up the lamp to watch the sword when she is drunk, dreaming of blowing the horn company camp, burning for 800 miles, turning over the outside sound of the fifty strings, and the autumn soldiers on the battlefield. What a heroic spirit this is, at this moment, Dugu Mingyue's heart can no longer tolerate anyone.

"Hey!" Dugu Mingzhu next to him sighed.

"What are you sentimental?" Dugu Mingyue asked her sister with a smile.

"Nothing?"

Mingzhu shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "Sister, you believe him now!" ”

"What are you talking about? What believed him? ”

"Sister, don't pretend to be stupid, Brother Li revealed his heart to you in front of so many people today, if you despise him again, you will really lose him."

After a pause, Mingzhu said again: "Don't let me down." ”

Dugu Mingyue didn't speak, her eyes turned to the night sky again, the moon in the night sky gradually rounded, walking through the thin clouds, sometimes revealing the bright moonlight, exuding a faint brilliance, sometimes hiding in the thin clouds, the sky became dim, Mingyue's heart welled up with a trace of inexplicable sorrow, the bright moon in the sky is still cloudy and sunny, and her relationship can really be fulfilled?

......

Li Qing'an's carriage slowly arrived at the Colliers Mansion, and the shaking of the carriage when it stopped woke Li Qing'an, and he condensed his mind and asked, "Where are you?" ”

"General, I've arrived at the house, it seems that Steward Luo is waiting for you."

"Ask him what's the matter?"

After a while, Jiang Xiaonian came back and said, "General, Steward Luo said that Gao Weng is waiting for you, please be sure to go when you come back." ”

Li Qingan pinched his temples, turned over and sat up, bent down and walked the carriage, Steward Luo hurriedly ran down the steps, bowed down and said, "General Li, my master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"I know, I'll go."

Li Qing'an followed Steward Luo to Gao Lishi's study, and Steward Luo reported, "Master, General Li is here." ”

"Let him in!" Colliers' voice was quite cheerful, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Li Qing'an pushed the door into the study, the light in the study was soft, filled with a faint sandalwood, Gao Lishi was wearing a loose blue Zen robe, wearing a flat-top scarf, and was sitting under the lamp reading a book.

Seeing Li Qing'an come in, Gao Lishi smiled slightly: "Qilang, whose house invited you today?" ”

"Today's party in Weifu, I went to join in the fun." Li Qingan smiled and sat down opposite Colliers.

"Wei Mansion, it's Wei Lian's Mansion! Two days ago, Cui Yuan also impeached him for cronyism, suspected of favoritism and fraud, referring to his nephew Wei Ming's appointment of Yizhou Cangcao to join the army. ”

"And the result?"

"As a result, I forwarded the fold to the Goshidai."

"Then the Holy One just asks about it?"

Gao Lishi shook his head, sighed and said: "The saint is old, and he doesn't know how to control himself, and now his energy is not as big as before, except for military affairs, he basically doesn't ask about general court affairs, and he is handed over to me for approval on his behalf, and I am a little unbearable." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Lishi smiled again: "But like you to serve as the Beiting Jiedu, he definitely has to ask about it, and letting you serve as the Beiting Jiedu is the result of his careful consideration, do you know?" He also consulted the crown prince on this matter. ”

This is what Li Qing'an didn't expect, Li Longji would actually ask the prince's opinion, since he knew that he was the prince's person, then why did he let himself be alone, this is puzzling, Gao Lishi seemed to know his thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Because Beiting is not like Longyou, Hedong and other places, you can go to Chang'an in a few days, Beiting is far away, and it is separated by Hexi in the middle, so the saint can rest assured that you can go, he also leaves a little foundation for the prince, but you go, The other military attachΓ©s in the hands of the crown prince should not think about being promoted. ”

Li Qingan nodded silently, so it was so, he suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "Anxi has the prison army Bian Lingcheng, so can I have it in Beiting?" ”

"That's why I'm looking for you tonight."

Gao Lishi pondered for a moment and said: "It has always been a practice for the border general to send the supervising army, which used to be served by the imperial history, and after the ascending of the throne, it was changed to the lieutenant envoy, so far there is no special, unless it is the special trust of the saint, otherwise the supervision army must be sent by me, and the supervision army is generally sent by me, directly under my control, although you and I have a good personal relationship, but you can't abolish the public because of private affairs, the only preferential treatment is a little more preferential than others, is that you can choose, my preliminary plan is to go to Beiting to supervise the army by the envoy Yu Chaoen." ”

'Yu Chaoen! Li Qing'an suddenly thought of the later Shence Army, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Gao Weng, can you change someone?" ”

Gao Lishi smiled, "Yu Chaoen is my confidant, and many things won't be too difficult for you, but since you don't like it, I can listen to your opinion, you say, who do you want to let go to Beiting?" ”

Li Qingan thought for a while and said, "Can you let Bian Lingcheng also take charge of Beiting?" ”

Gao Lishi pondered and said: "It's not impossible for Bian Lingcheng to be in charge, and he can also play a role in coordinating the relationship between the two armies of Beiting and Anxi, but there is no precedent for one person to supervise the army and two towns, and you must get the permission of the saint, it depends on your luck." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Lishi took out another notebook, gently put it in front of Li Qing'an, and said: "This is the investigation report of the Eastern Capital Supervision Imperial History on the situation of your family, this is a step that every Jiedu envoy must do before taking office, but what is strange is that the Eastern Capital Supervision Imperial History cannot find any records about your family, Your Majesty may ask you about this tomorrow, you think about it yourself!" ”

........

At the same time when the banquet was held in the Wei Mansion, an abnormal thing also happened in the Qingwang Mansion, the basement of the Qingwang Mansion was dimly lit, an oil lamp was bright and dark, and more than a dozen figures were sometimes lengthened and sometimes shortened, and more than a dozen personal guards surrounded the Qingwang Li Cong, Li Cong had his hands behind his back and stared fiercely at a person on the ground, he was a man about thirty years old, who was tied to his hands and feet by huge iron chains, and he was already tortured to death.

Next to him, Li Li was reporting on his investigation, "Father, this person is in the Qinglou to show off that Dong Yanguang was shot by him with his own hands, and he happened to be heard by one of my subordinates and reported to me, so I arrested him, he has confessed, he did participate in the assassination of Dong Yanguang, and the details described are completely in line with the government's investigation." ”

"I want to know, is he really An Lushan's personal guard?"

"In the afternoon, the child carefully investigated his identity, his name is He Mi, and he is indeed one of An Lushan's personal guards, and he also admitted that it was An Lushan's personal guards who assassinated Dong Yanguang, and Jin Wuwei also participated in this matter, so that An Lushan's personal guards could go out of the city smoothly."

Li Cong was annoyed for a while, but he didn't expect that it was An Lushan who used his yin hand behind his back, causing him to be suspected by his father, and he was called to scold him this afternoon, which directly affected his image in his father's heart.

He snorted heavily and said, "This person doesn't have to stay anymore, just dispose of him." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, but Li Li stopped him, "Father, please stay!" ”

"Anything else?"

"Father, but you want to deal with An Lushan?"

"I can't deal with it, I really have to clean him up."

After a pause, Li Cong asked again, "What?" Do you have any good suggestions? ”

"The child is thinking, in fact, we don't need to come forward, someone is more anxious than us."

"Who?" Li Cong asked strangely, "Who is more urgent than us?" ”

"When the child was investigating the assassination of Dong Yanguang in the past two days, he found that the Yang family also sent a large number of people to investigate the case, I asked Yang Xuan, and I heard him say that because of the murder of Dong Yanguang, Yang Quan was dismissed, and the Yang family was very angry with the murderer behind the scenes, and the child was thinking about ......"

"Do you mean to say that give this person and the confession to the Yang family, and let the Yang family go to An Lushan to settle accounts?"

"That's exactly what the child meant, and we don't need to come forward, so that the father can explain it to the saint."

Li Cong nodded, his son was indeed very thoughtful, "Okay! I will leave this matter to you, and I must do it quickly, as quickly as possible, and I hope that tomorrow morning, the Holy One will know the truth. ”

"The child understands that it is still early to close the door, so the child will go and finish this matter."

.......

After more than half an hour, more than 100 men on horseback suddenly appeared in front of the gate of Qinrenfang, and there were several carriages in the middle, all of them were brightly dressed, riding high-headed horses, with swords under their waists, with angry expressions on their faces, they rushed towards the gate of Qinrenfang with great momentum, and several officers guarding the gate suddenly recognized them, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, it turned out to be the Yang family's brigade of people and horses, where are they going?

The leaders are Yang Qi and Yang Quan, Yang Zhao said that he was ill in the future, and sent his two sons to Ying Mao, and dozens of other Yang family children such as Yang Zhu and Yang Hoe have arrived, and even Yang Huahua, Yang Yuzhu and Yang Yupei The three ladies of the country also went out in person, which is related to the prosperity of the Yang family, they have never been so united as today, and they came to An Lushan to ask for an explanation.

Dozens of children of the Yang family and nearly 100 sturdy men roared in from the gate of Qinrenfang and rushed towards the new house of An Lushan located in the south of the fang.

At this time, An Lushan was standing in front of the steps and did not return home, he had just sent away Absi who had come to thank him, Absi sent a hundred female slaves and money worth 5,000 sheep in accordance with the rules of the tribe, and personally came to the door to thank him, this time Absi not only did not lose his official position, but also won the title of Huaihua General, he really owed An Lushan a big favor.

An Lushan, of course, is not uncommon to receive a thank you gift from Absi, he wants tens of thousands of Turkic elite horsemen from Absi, in order to get this fierce army, he racked his brains, this time he finally seized this opportunity by his staff Yan Zhuang, so that Absi owes a big favor, although just now Absi did not agree to move the headquarters to Youzhou, and took up the post of deputy envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, but he has relented, depending on the meaning of the saint, that is, only if Li Longji agrees, Absi can move east to Youzhou, which makes An Lushan overjoyed, and it is easy to persuade Li Longji, as long as he makes a little move on the Khitan issue, it can be achieved.

An Lushan's heart was full of joy, thinking about returning to Fanyang early, at this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, An Lushan was stunned, looked at the sound of horses' hooves, and faintly saw a large group of horseback riders galloping towards this side.

The guards beside him suddenly panicked, and it was too late to return home, so they all protected An Lushan.

Suddenly, a large group of people from the Yang family had arrived, and Yang Qi had already seen An Lushan, and he shouted loudly: "An Lushan stays!" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of hostility, and An Lushan suddenly beat a small drum in his heart, how could he offend the Yang family?

The children of the Yang family stopped at the foot of the steps of Anfu and dismounted one after another, more than 100 people blocked Anfu, and even the three ladies of the country came out of the carriage, An Lushan was even more panicked in his heart, the appearance of the three ladies of the country is equivalent to the appearance of the concubine, and the matter is serious.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters of the Yang family, I don't know what to teach when you come to our mansion at night?" ”

"Bring it on!"

Yang Qi waved his hand, and several big men put up the captured An Lushan's personal guard He Mi and threw it under the steps, he said coldly: "An Lushan, you won't say that you don't know this person!" ”

An Lushan's head 'hum! The ground was loud, this was one of his left and right henchmen, how could he not know it, he hesitated and asked: "This is my personal guard, did he do anything to offend the Yang family, if so, I will kill him on the spot to make amends." ”

"Someone!"

An Lushan shouted, and immediately came up with a few personal soldiers, and he pointed to He Mi at the bottom of the steps and said angrily: "Beat this person to death for me!" ”

Several pro-soldiers were about to step forward, but Yang Qi stopped him, "Wait!" ”

He walked up slowly, snorted coldly and said: "This person has done something sorry for the Yang family, but he is not the culprit, the culprit is you, An Lushan!" ”

An Lushan was stunned, he really couldn't think of where he had offended the Yang family, so he couldn't help but stammered and asked, "Please make Yang Envoy clear, An is confused." ”

"Humph! are still pretending to be stupid, An Lushan, Dong Yanguang was killed by you! ”

An Lushan then understood, his back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he remembered, Yang Quan was deposed because of Dong Yanguang's assassination, it turned out that the Yang family came for this matter, what should I do? Confess to make amends, no, never!

An Lushan's mind turned very quickly, it was nothing to apologize to the Yang family, it was a big deal to give more money, but how could the saint explain it, if this matter was known by the saint, he would have to be unlucky, not to mention that the Hedong Jiedu envoy was hopeless, maybe even Fan Yang and the Lu Jiedu envoy couldn't keep it, killing Dong Yanguang was easy to make the saint suspect that he was colluding with King Qing, and he would never allow any collusion between the general and the prince with the troops.

An Lushan turned more than a dozen thoughts in a row, and the sweat on his forehead had already come down, what should I do? Yang Qi wanted to show the demeanor of the patriarch in front of the Yang family, and he asked reluctantly: "Do you say that your subordinates did it, and you don't know it?" ”

One sentence reminded An Lushan, he suddenly grabbed He Mi's collar and shouted: "Who asked you to do it, you dare to hide it from me!" ”

He Mi read a trace of viciousness from An Lushan's eyes, and he knew that he couldn't keep it, so he said in a low voice: "It's Mr. Yan's arrangement!" ”

"Solemn! It turned out to be him. ”

An Lushan turned around and said angrily: "Arrest him quickly!" ”

Several guards immediately rushed into the house, and after a while, Yan Zhuang hurriedly walked out, he had already learned the situation from the guards, and knew that An Lushan was going to take his back.

Yan Zhuang sighed in his heart, knelt down and said: "Humble and solemn, see the handsome!" ”

"Yan Zhuang, let me ask you, what happened to the assassination of Dong Yanguang? Why don't you report it to me? ”

Yan Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: "He has a personal enmity with Dong Yanguang, so he borrowed the personal guard of the marshal to assassinate him!" If you are guilty of despicability, please send it down. ”

"It's a good thing to borrow my personal guard, and you dare not report me in advance about such an important matter." An Lushan shouted angrily: "Come on, give me a fifty beating!" ”

Immediately rushed to more than a dozen pro-soldiers, overturned Yan Zhuang, and beat him with a stick, the Yang family next to him all watched coldly, and suddenly, Yang Huahua clapped her hands and smiled: "An Dashuai is a good show!" I should have called the emperor to watch it too. ”

An Lushan's legs weakened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Madam, this matter really has nothing to do with me, it was done by my subordinates without authorization, how can it be acting?" ”

"Humph! Is my second brother's Guanglu Siqing only worth fifty sticks? ”

"What is it necessary for the lady to give up?"

"I don't know, tell me for yourself!"

Since Yang Huahua came forward and moved out of the Shengshang, the other Yang family members couldn't say anything, so they had to let her come forward to represent her.

An Lushan gritted his teeth and said: "I am not strict in governance, I am willing to pay for my crimes and money, I will pay 50,000 yuan, is it feasible?" ”

"No, not enough!" Yang Huahua refused.

"Then add 10,000 acres of land, is it feasible?"

"No, it's still not enough!"

"Okay, I have four stores in Dongshi, and I would like to give them to the Yang family, so let's do it!"

"The compensation is enough, but we are angry, what do you say?" Yang Huahua said, glancing at Yan Zhuang.

An Lushan understood, he sighed secretly, and looked at Yan Zhuang, this Yan Zhuang has been with him for many years, and he can be regarded as loyal, but now in order to protect himself, he can only sacrifice this subordinate.

He narrowed his eyes, pointed at Yan Zhuang and said slowly: "Add fifty more sticks to break his hamstrings, and life and death will be up to the sky!" ”

Yan Zhuang had been beaten almost half to death, hearing An Lushan's words, he was shocked, he couldn't believe his ears, he slowly looked up at An Lushan, An Lushan didn't even look at him, Yan Zhuang suddenly remembered a slap in the polo match, and he lamented in his heart, "I really deserve to die!" ”

The guards understood An Lushan's meaning, their men were merciless, the big sticks fell ferociously like raindrops, and finally Yan Zhuang screamed, his legs were broken, he fainted, and after a hundred sticks, the other two soldiers took out horns and wrist knives, and broke his left and right tendons from the back tendons of Yan Zhuang's feet.

They also secretly sighed in their hearts, and stepped forward to report to An Lushan: "Dashuai, the execution is over!" ”

A pro-soldier whispered in his ear: "Mr. Yan probably won't survive." ”

An Lushan was ruthless, pointed to the flesh and blood vaguely solemn, and ordered: "Throw him out of the workshop, from now on, this person has nothing to do with me An Lushan." ”

Several guards carried Yan Zhuang away and slowly disappeared into the night, and An Lushan smiled at Yang Huahua and said, "Madam, now the anger is gone!" ”

Yang Huahua nodded, "You are limited to sending the other promised things before noon tomorrow, and this matter will be over, otherwise, we will see you in Xingqing Palace!" ”

"Definitely! Certain! ”

At this time, the drum that closed the door sounded, and the whole city was shaken with a bang, and Yang Huahua glanced at everyone again, "What other opinions do you have?" ”

Everyone shook their heads together, Yang Hua glanced at it, and asked Yang Qi again: "Does the eldest brother have any opinions?" ”

Yang Qi was really depressed, he originally wanted to take the lead, but Yang Huahua stole the limelight again, and seeing that the door was about to close, he had no choice but to say: "I have no opinion!" ”

"Alright, let's go!"

The Yang family got on their horses one after another, snorted at An Lushan together, raised their horsewhips, and walked away.

A personal soldier asked in a low voice, "Marshal, do you want to bring Mr. Yan back?" ”

An Lushan shook his head, since he had already done it, how could he fall short, he sighed and said: "Give him the quilt again, life and death, let him go!" ”

He walked through the door, and the black door slowly closed.

........

The next day, just after dawn, by a small river outside Qinrenfang, several farmers selling vegetables came from afar, and suddenly, someone pointed to a big tree and shouted: "Look, there seems to be a person over there." ”

Several peasants gathered around together, and saw that it was a bloody man, who seemed to have crawled from somewhere, and the ground was covered with blood, and everyone was terrified, "This must be a thief who was killed!" Should we report to the police? ”

"Please... Do yourself a favor! The bloody man on the ground suddenly said weakly.

"He's not dead."

Several peasants bent down and asked, "Who are you?" How can we help? ”

"I have a piece of jade on me.... It's worth a lot of money, please.... Send me somewhere. ”

............
