Tibet

Chapter 477 New hatred and old hatred
When Yang Guozhong heard that his second son was seriously injured, he rushed to his son's house. As soon as he entered the door, he happened to meet the imperial doctor who was walking out. Yang Guozhong grabbed the imperial doctor's neck and asked: "How is my son's condition?"

The imperial doctor was frightened and said: "The prince-in-law should have no worries about his life, it's just...just"

"Just what, tell me!" Yang Guozhong yelled anxiously.

"It's just that the prince-in-law can't save his left eye!"

"what?"

Yang Guozhong took two steps back and was struck by thunder. Has his son become one-eyed and blind?
"no!"

Yang Guozhong roared and rushed into the back house. Several eunuchs tried their best to stop him, "Prime Minister, calm down, don't disturb the princess!"

Yang Guozhong couldn't rush past, and finally calmed down, "Okay! Okay! Take me to see it."

Several eunuchs brought Yang Guozhong to the ward and saw his son lying on the bed with one eye wrapped in thick white gauze. When his father arrived, Yang Biao couldn't help but cry, "Father, An Qingxu is too deceitful!"

When Yang Guozhong saw his son's miserable state, he couldn't help but feel like a knife was piercing his heart. He held his son's hand and gritted his teeth and said: "Your brother was killed by the An family, and your eyes were also destroyed by the An family. I will never forget the blood feud. I will do more to save An's life." Lushan repays."

Next to her, Princess Wanchun also saluted Yang Guozhong and cried: "I beg your father-in-law to make the decision!"

Yang Guozhong nodded, comforted his son with a few words, then turned and walked towards the atrium.

There were more than twenty warriors kneeling in the atrium, all of them trembling with fear. They failed to protect their master, causing him to be seriously injured. They didn't know what kind of punishment they would receive?
At this time Yang Guozhong came out. He was not in a hurry to punish the warriors. He wanted to complain to the emperor and had to provide conclusive evidence.

He asked the warrior leader Wu Jidao: "Tell me the details of what happened?"

Wu Ji bowed and said: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, we set off a little late in the morning. When we arrived at Leyouyuan, there were already a lot of people. With the princess there, we naturally couldn't get off the car and walk. Our carriage slowly got on the carriage along the mountain road. Originally, It was going smoothly. We were about a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain when a carriage suddenly rushed down. We were very angry because the North Mountain Road goes up the mountain and the South Mountain Road goes down the mountain. This carriage was obviously going against the rules and violated the regulations."

"Is that An Qingxu's carriage?" Yang Guozhong said coldly.

"Exactly! An Qingxu was very arrogant and asked us to retreat down the mountain to let him go. How could the young master agree? The two sides became more and more noisy, so they started fighting. The other side was carrying slingshots, and several warriors used slingshots to hit us. , and they used copper bullets, which can easily injure people. Many of our brothers were beaten with bloody heads. In the chaos, a copper bullet hit the young master’s eye."

After saying that, Wu Ji presented a plate with a bloody white copper bullet, "Master, we found this next to the young master's carriage. It hurt the young master's eye, and there is still blood on it."

"Where are the other projectiles?"

Another warrior brought over a plate, which was full of white copper bullets. This kind of white copper bullets are eight-flute type, with a pressing feel and very fine workmanship. It is very comfortable to use as bullets. Yang Guozhong picked it up and compared it with the bloody bullets. It was completely Consistent, this is the evidence, confirming An Qingxu's crime.

Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said: "Take the bullets and follow me into the palace!"

At the same time, hundreds of warriors from the Qingshan Tower of the Yang family were dispatched and began to arrest Anlushan warriors on a large scale. This was not an official action, but just revenge of the Yang family. Of course, the Yang family would not dare to do so without the consent of the emperor. Move the consort Anqingzong.

An Qingzong was safe and sound, but the culprit An Qingxu had already fled Chang'an, and he rushed eastward with more than a dozen of his men. Although An Qingxu had a bad temper and was easily impulsive, he was not stupid. He heard that Yang Biao's eyes were damaged After being beaten blind, he knew that he had caused a big disaster and the emperor would never spare him this time. He immediately fled back to Youzhou with a dozen of his men.

An Qingxu led his men through Xinfeng County. He was thinking about how to explain to his father along the way.You always have to find a reason to excuse yourself and find someone to back you up. The best reason is that someone framed you, but who should you look for?

An Qingxu suddenly reined in his horse. He thought of Li Ye, who was also on the mountain!He must have blinded Yang Biao and framed him. Regardless of whether it was Li Ye or not, this was the best reason.

He turned around and said sternly to everyone: "If my father asks, you all must agree. It was Li Ye who blinded his eyes and framed it for me. Do you hear me?"

In fact, none of these dozen subordinates followed An Qingxu up the mountain. The two dozen warriors who followed An Qingxu up the mountain were all detained by An Qingzong and were ready to be handed over to the emperor to take the blame.

After the emperor traced it, it was fine that An Qingxu ran away. If the samurai who directly took action also ran away, what would he give to the emperor to explain?

More than a dozen warriors did not dare to disobey An Qingxu's order, so they all agreed.An Qingxu found the reason, felt much more comfortable, and led his men to urge their horses to continue running towards Pujinguan.

The emperor Li Longji summoned Yang Guozhong. Li Longji had just returned from Tai Chi Palace. He was seriously exhausted and exhausted physically and mentally. Yang Guozhong's crying made him feel upset.

He waved his hand to Yang Guozhong impatiently, "I know, I will give your son an explanation, you step back first, let me consider how to deal with it?"

Yang Guozhong also knew that he came at the wrong time, so he had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Li Longji sighed and said to Gao Lishi: "I am very tired and need to rest. Let me deal with this matter!"

Gao Lishi bowed and said: "Your Majesty needs to tell me some rules!"

Li Longji closed his eyes for a moment and said: "An Lushan has made great contributions to guarding Youzhou for me, and he has also worked hard. If the child is ignorant, a small punishment will suffice!"

Gao Lishi breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was still awake at the critical moment, and the court really couldn't fall out with An Lushan. "

At this time, Li Longji said again: "Go tell Li Dai. I have read his report. There are many reasons for financial difficulties, which are not the responsibility of any one person. Let him bear more responsibility. He proposed to abolish the property area limit, and I will relax it, but It will not be abolished.”

"Your Majesty is wise, please have a good rest."

Gao Lishi resigned and left, and Li Longji slowly closed his eyes. The pleasure and excitement that Yang Yupei brought to him had passed, leaving only an empty sense of loss and unprecedented fatigue.

"I'm already old!" Li Longji whispered to himself, then closed his tired eyes.

Gao Lishi rushed to An Qingzong's house, and An Qingzong hurriedly came out to greet him. The two of them entered the house and sat down. Gao Lishi said: "My consort must be very clear about my purpose of coming!"

An Qingzong nodded, "I know about Yang Biao's injury."

"Does the Prince Consort know the ins and outs of this matter?"

An Qingzong sighed and said: "I have inquired about it, and the cause and effect are very clear. It is indeed my brother who was irritable and reckless and caused great trouble."

Gao Lishi waved his hand, and the eunuch presented two plates of white copper marbles. Gao Lishi pointed to the bloody bullets and said, "It was this bullet that injured Yang Biao's left eye. The other bullets were picked up from the ground. They were provided by the Yang family." The evidence, does the son-in-law accept it?"

An Qingzong nodded, "This is a copper hunting pellet invented by my father. It is specially used for hunting and does not damage the fur. Only An Qingxu has this kind of copper hunting pellet. I know very well that it was him who caused the catastrophe. He himself is also afraid of crime." He has fled back to Youzhou, I wonder how the emperor plans to punish him?"

Gao Lishi said slowly: "An Qingxu does have a great responsibility, but he did not do it himself. He only ordered the beating of the Yang family's warriors, but did not order the use of force against Yang's consort. Does the consort understand what I mean?"

How could An Qingzong fail to understand, and quickly said: "The situation at that time was very chaotic, and the warriors under his command acted ruthlessly regardless of the severity. It is indeed not entirely my brother's responsibility. His warriors are more responsible."

Gao Lishi pondered for a while and then said: "The emperor asked me to deal with it as appropriate. I consider that An Qingxu should bear half of the responsibility. How about depriving him of his title and demoting him to a commoner?"

"I completely agree. In addition, I have detained all the 23 warriors who injured Yang's consort. I recommend that they be executed to give an explanation to the Yang family."

Gao Lishi smiled faintly, "Every execution must be executed, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the emperor. But whether the Yang family can accept it or not, you need to negotiate and resolve it yourself. It is not easy for the emperor to interfere."

An Qingzong nodded with a heavy heart. He knew very well that how could the Yang family accept just killing a few warriors?But there was nothing he could do about the trouble caused by that troublemaker.

Gao Lishi said again slowly: "Last time Wei Qingxuan was hurt and disfigured by him, and this time it was Yang Concubine who was blinded by him. I don't know what kind of disaster he will cause next time. Please tell your father, don't do it again." Let An Qingxu come to Chang'an."
