Wei Jiansu finally understood the ferocity in the bones of the Hu people. An Lushan's mask of modesty, kindness, honesty, and simplicity, which had been hidden for many years, was finally torn to pieces by his son, exposing his ferocious face.
If you can't get it yourself, no one else can get it. A small blind date has such serious consequences. Who would dare to work with An Lushan in the future?
Wei Jiansu looked at his grandson's shocking face, his heart was like a knife. His most valued grandson, the most promising grandson, had been destroyed in this way.
Dugulie said extremely apologetically: "I didn't expect him to be so cruel. I just had to give him a chance because of Mrs. Guo's reputation as a matchmaker. But he really couldn't satisfy my mother, so I rejected him.
I never expected that. Hey!"
Fortunately, Wei Jiansu had seven or eight grandsons, all of whom were excellent. Although Wei Qingxuan made him heartbroken, it did not completely plunge him into despair.
Wei Jiansu calmed down and said to Dugu Lie: "This has nothing to do with Dugu Shangshu. A wolf ate a deer by the river. We can't blame the river!"
"Thank you Wei Xiangguo for your understanding. No matter what, the Dugu family still owes Wei Xiangguo a favor. I will definitely make up for it in the future."
Wei Jiansu nodded, "It's fortunate that the Dugu family did not recruit An Qingxu as their son-in-law, otherwise he would destroy the Dugu family."
Dugu Lie sighed, "Wei Xiangguo is right, this is also a blessing among misfortunes!"
Wei Jiansu pondered for a moment and said, "So, the Dugu family originally took a fancy to my grandson and decided to recruit him as their son-in-law?"
Dugu Lie's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "My mother has taken a fancy to two people, one is Lingsun and the other is Li Ye, but my daughter prefers Li Ye more. It was difficult for me to choose, so she decided to choose a son-in-law based on literature.
They each wrote a poem, and who wrote the best? Everyone thought Ling Sun would win, including An Qingxu, but it was Li Ye who won in the end."
"Li Ye wins in poetry writing?"
Wei Jiansu couldn't believe his ears. His grandson ranked first in the imperial examination. Can Li Ye, who was good at martial arts, write poems better than his grandson?
Dugujun hurriedly handed over the poems written by the two of them. Wei Jiansu read them over and was speechless. Li Ye's poems far surpassed his grandson's poems in terms of intention, conception, literary talent and fluency.
At this time, Xu Zhan, Wei Jiansu's staff member, said at the side: "I heard Gao Shi say that this poem was written by Li Ye, and they all praised it."
"Who are they?" Wei Jiansu asked.
"It seems that Gao Shi, Wang Wei, Du Fu, and Wang Changling had a gathering a few days ago. It is said that Gao Shi and Wang Changling were hired as Li Ye's staff and will follow him to work in Hezhong."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When Dugulie heard that the famous poets Gao Shi and Wang Changling were going to follow Li Ye to the river, he was really surprised. He couldn't help but re-examine Li Ye.
Wei Jiansu frowned and said, "Since Li Ye won in the end, why did An Qingxu attack my grandson?"
Wei Jiansu's question was a bit sharp, and it also touched on the key point. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. An Qingxu's jealousy should also be directed at Li Ye, why should he target his grandson?
Dugujun was prepared for this question and quickly stepped forward to explain: "Wei Xiangguo, there is indeed something wrong here. At that time, An Qingxu did not participate in writing poems and stormed away angrily. We all thought that Lingsun should be the first.
But the final result was unexpected.
An Qingxu didn't know the result. He cursed the Wei family at Meiting, which angered Lingsun. Lingsun ran to find him, and this result occurred. It is obvious that An Qingxu deliberately angered Lingsun."
Wei Jiansu understood that Dugu Lie chose his grandson as his son-in-law, which made An Qingxu angry. Otherwise, what would Dugu Lie do with poetry? The Dugu family is a martial arts family, and sword competition is in line with their style. But now that his grandson is injured,
Of course they wouldn't admit it.
"Okay! Thank you, Master Dugu, for escorting my grandson back. I will seek justice from An Lushan!"
The Dugu brothers returned to the mansion in a carriage. Dugu Lie sighed and said, "Let's put the blind date aside beforehand! Wei Qingxuan was just injured, and it would be too ugly for us to choose someone else. Let's wait until this matter has passed."
Dugujun thought for a while and said: "Li Ye will lead his army to the west in less than half a month. What I mean is that you can tell Li Dai privately so that he knows what to do and prepare it in advance. Even if Li Ye
If you're not here, won't it affect the marriage between the two families?"
"Are you so optimistic about Li Ye?" Dugu Lie asked with a smile.
Dugujun pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, do you remember what An Qingxu said before he left?"
Dugu Lie nodded, "I remember, he said, 'Sooner or later you will come to beg me, we will see!' This sentence is very strange. Does he think our Dugu family will beg him?"
Dugujun said slowly: "I believe he said something he shouldn't have said in a hurry. There is only one situation in which this kind of thing can happen. Can't you think of it?"
Dugulie narrowed his eyes, "You mean, An Lushan will rebel?"
Dugujun sneered and said: "There have been rumors that An Lushan is going to rebel for a day or two. Although many people say it is impossible, the rumors cannot be groundless. There must have been such signs in Youzhou. Today An Qingxu has nothing to say.
Zhelan spoke his mind, and when he rebels and rushes into Chang'an, we will indeed kneel down to beg him, at least that's what he thinks."
"But what does this have to do with choosing Li Ye?"
"Brother, we have to leave a way out for ourselves!"
"Aren't you in the back in Beiting?"
Dugu Jun shook his head, "There are some things that the Dugu family cannot and cannot do, but Li Ye can do them. Brother, do you understand what I mean?"
"I know, I will consider it carefully!"
Early the next morning, three bullock carts drove slowly through the streets of Chang'an, causing a huge sensation in the Chang'an market. A white cloth banner was hung on it with a line of large characters written on it, "The guard protects the master and hurts someone. Anjia is here to apologize!"
Behind the banner were several large boxes of copper coins. The lids were opened and filled with yellow copper coins.
Kneeling on the second bullock cart was a shirtless man, tied up and with his head lowered. Standing next to him were two samurai with swords.
An Lushan's family members were nearby to explain to everyone, and soon the news spread that An Qingxu and Wei Qingxuan had a quarrel. Wei Qingxuan struck An Qingxu first, but the guards protected Xinqing and drew his sword to hurt Wei Qingxuan.
It sounds like An Lushan couldn't afford to offend Wei Xiangguo's power, so he had to swallow his anger and come to apologize.
This is a typical example of a bad person filing a complaint first and using a public apology to try to take the initiative. It looks like an apology, but in fact it is a defense that is an offense. This move is really powerful.
This was of course not An Qingxu's idea, but the plan of counselor Dugu Wensu. Anyway, he had offended Wei Jiansu, so he simply came to apologize with great fanfare and made a big show of saying he was apologizing, but he still caught Wei Qingxuan's first move.
One, and then blamed the guards and protectors, cleared An Qingxu of the responsibility, and did everything that should be done.
Even if Wei Jiansu goes to the emperor to complain, it will be useless. The An family has publicly apologized, and the person who hurt your grandson has also died in exchange for it. What else do you want?
Thousands of good people followed behind, crowding the ox cart into Xuanyangfang, and came to the gate of Wei Jiansu's house.
Today is the fourth day of the first lunar month, the last day of the court break. Wei Jiansu is not on duty, he happens to be at home.
Suddenly, a housekeeper came to report, "Master Qi, the An family came to apologize. Tens of thousands of people followed. There was a huge crowd outside the house."
Wei Jiansu was stunned, "Why are so many people coming?"
"It seems that they were the ones who paraded around Chang'an City with great fanfare before coming here."
"Is An Qingxu here?"
"No, it was one of his aides who came. He seemed to be called Dugu Wensu, and he tied up the murderer and kneeled on the carriage."
Wei Jiansu asked again, "Did they write any banners?"
He felt that the other party was being unkind and it didn't look like an apology.
"Replying to the master, there is a banner written, 'The guard protects the master and hurts someone, Anjia is here to apologize'.
"What!"
Wei Jiansu was so angry that he couldn't help hurting others. This was clearly humiliating himself. He immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Let them go, I don't accept their so-called apology!"
