In the study room of Linde Hall in the inner palace, Li Longji was really upset. An Lushan and Wei Jiansu actually fell out over a trivial matter of blind date, and now they both ran to him to complain.

"You guys tell me one by one. I have a bad headache. Wei Xiangguo, tell me first!"

Wei Jiansu bowed and said, "I am disturbed by disturbing Your Majesty over such a trivial matter. However, An Qingxu is cruel and ruthless, and An Lushan bullies others too much. I am forced to have no choice but to complain to Your Majesty. Please Your Majesty will seek justice!"

"I will uphold justice, just say it!"

"Your Majesty, on the third day of the first lunar month, Wei Qingxuan, the grandson of Wei Qingxuan, went to the Dugu family for a blind date. Maybe he performed better and won the approval of the Dugu family. An An Qingxu also went on a blind date. Maybe it was because he was older or something. The Dugu family didn't After he fell in love with him, An Qingxu began to hate my son and insulted the ancestors of Wei Chen. He was extremely vicious from generation to generation.

My grandson tried to stop him, but he still wouldn't shut up. My grandson couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him in the face. His men immediately cut open my grandson's face with a knife. My grandson is only twenty years old. He was a Jinshi candidate last year and has a bright future. This time Everything was destroyed. "

An Lushan said anxiously: "That's not the case. Your Majesty, please let me explain."

Li Longji nodded, "Say this too!"

An Lushan bowed and said: "First of all, Wei Chen's son did not insult the ancestors of the Wei family. It may be that some curse words were brought out by the people, which made people think that he was insulting the ancestors.

For example, swearing in Youzhou dialect means that you will be a yellow-skinned rat for several lifetimes, which means that a weasel will only give birth to a weasel, and what kind of father will give birth to what kind of grandchild, and I will fuck your ancestor, these are all curses. People of all ages scolded him like this. Weichen's son grew up in the military camp and heard and witnessed the same curse words. Weichen beat him countless times for this reason. "

"What does it mean to be an ancestor?" Li Longji was quite interested.

"Your Majesty, this is a curse word used in the market. It is the coffin board of our ancestors."

Li Longji laughed loudly, "Keep talking!"

"Your Majesty, my son is mainly mocking Wei Qingxuan for overestimating his abilities. A weak scholar came to a family of military generals for a blind date. He may have a harsher tone. You can say he curses. Once a quarrel breaks out, he will definitely put it down. He brought out those curse words, but he never meant to insult the ancestors of the Wei family at all!"

Wei Jiansu was furious, "You are talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong!"

Li Longji stopped Wei Jiansu and said, "Let Mr. An finish the matter!"

An Lushan sighed and said: "An Qingxu has a rough personality, speaks harshly, and likes to curse. These Weichen admit it, but he has a bottom line as a man. He curses but never takes action. Wei Qingxuan made the first move and gave Weichen's son a hard blow. A slap in the face, this was the first time in his life that he had been slapped in the face.

Your Majesty, we Hu people have rules. We can kill people, but we must never slap him in the face. No matter how hard Wei Chen beat him since he was a child, he will never hit him in the face. An Qingxu told me that he was completely confused at that moment.

At this time, his personal bodyguard Ding Yong was eager to protect the master and slashed at Wei Qingxuan with his knife. I guess he wanted to chop off Wei Qingxuan's head. This was his instinct to kill enemies and he was used to it, but he suddenly woke up and was anxious. He stopped, but it was still a step too late and hurt Wei Qingxuan's face. This is the truth. "

Wei Jiansu shook his head, "You are very good at using Spring and Autumn style of writing. My grandson can clearly distinguish between insults in the market and insults about ancestors. He is insulting the ancestors of the Wei family."

"Okay! Okay! You don't believe me when I say he was scolding people in the market. If you insist that he deliberately insulted the ancestors, I can't argue with you. Even if he scolded the ancestors of the Wei family, your son slapped him. This is nonsense. A person's great shame and humiliation is the humiliation of killing the other person's whole family. This slap can offset his curse!"

An Lushan's tone gradually became stern.

"What happened next has nothing to do with my grandson. Guard Ding Yong killed and injured your son. The next day we came to publicly apologize and tied Ding Yong away to punish you. You didn't accept it. I will apologize to you again today, and you still can't accept it. If you don't accept it, what do you want? Do you have to kill my son to be satisfied?"

By the end, An Lushan was furious.

Li Longji said with a long face: "Mr. An, don't lose your composure!"

An Lushan knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Wei Chen is protecting his family and country on the border, and his son is alone and being bullied in the capital. Wei Chen feels so sad!"

Wei Jiansu had understood at this time that both father and son were digging holes in the same way. An Qingxu used tricks to make his grandson angry, and An Lushan used tricks to make himself angry. If he didn't accept his apology, he would have something to say.

Wei Jiansu said extremely calmly: "Envoy An Jiedu, there is nothing I can do about it if you say this. My grandson's disfigurement was his life. There is no need for you to apologize, and I will not accept your apology. That's the end of it." Bar!"

Li Longji had already felt the deep-seated hatred in Wei Jiansu's heart, and he secretly thought that it would not be a bad thing for the two to fight.

Li Longji asked again: "Where is the hurtful Ding Yong?"

An Lushan stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, he committed suicide last night. He was afraid of hurting his family, so he took all the blame on himself, and then committed suicide."

Li Longji nodded, "Although An Qingxu did not do it himself, his men hurt others. He is responsible for lax discipline. He will be removed from his position as the young minister of Honglu Temple. He will be at home to reflect for half a year and will not be allowed to go out!"

An Lushan bowed and said: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"

Li Longji then said to Wei Jiansu: "Although Lingsun's appearance has deteriorated, his talent has not been lost. From now on, he will be promoted to Zuozangling, in charge of Zuozangku of the imperial court."

Wei Qingxuan was originally promoted from the eighth-rank Prince Zuo Chunfang Lushi to the seventh-rank Zuozang Ling, a three-level promotion in a row. Wei Jiansu couldn't say anything else, so he had to bow and say: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Li Longji added: "Let this matter end here! I want to make peace between the generals and not fight in the nest. I will not allow fighting over such trivial matters in the future. If the news spreads, the world will laugh."

The two stood up and said: "I obey the order!"

"I'm not feeling well, please step aside!"

The two of them slowly exited. Wei Jiansu stared at An Lushan with hatred and walked away quickly.

At this time, An Lushan turned back and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have forgotten something."

"What's up?"

An Lushan took out a list and said, "In autumn, I defeated the Xi people's rebellion. These are the trophies captured, specially dedicated to Your Majesty!"

When Li Longji received the list, his eyelids jumped at the first line, two hundred thousand taels of silver, followed by various sheepskins, medicinal materials, etc., countless of them, all of which could be sold for money.

Of course, this is not a trophy of ridicule, but An Lushan refining silver in Youzhou, a small part of which bribed the emperor.

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are a border general. Don't offend important officials in the court easily, especially those on the prince's side. It will not be good for you in the future."

An Lushan heard what the emperor meant, and he was secretly proud. Yan Zhuang was worthy of Zhuge's rebirth. He used this incident to draw a clear line between himself and the prince's faction. The emperor would never suspect that he and the prince were secretly colluding again.

An Lushan knelt down and choked up: "Weichen is a barbarian and a rough man. He only knows how to be loyal to his master. Weichen will not consider what will happen in the future."

Li Longji was also quite moved, thought for a while and said: "Let's do this! You should let Qingzong return to the capital. He is more stable and he is my consort. Qingxu has a bad temper and can easily offend others. If he goes back to Youzhou, I He has been removed from his official position, but not from his official rank. You can appoint him within Youzhou yourself. This is your authority."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your thoughtful consideration!"

"You go back to your hometown and rest! Have a good rest for a few days, and then I will hear about the situation in Youzhou, and then you can go back."

An Lushan took out another ruby ​​and put it on the table, "This is a gift from the minister to the noble concubine."

Li Longji chuckled, "As long as you have this heart, I will pass it on to her."

"Wei Chen takes his leave!"

An Lushan slowly retreated. Li Longji looked at the gem. This gem was not bad. He could give it to Yu Pei to save her from complaining all day about the lack of good gems.
