杨匡 / Yang Kuang (Du Qiao retainer)

Overview

杨匡 / Yang Kuang is 杜乔’s old subordinate in Hanji 830 who travels to Luoyang, disguises himself near the displayed body, guards it for twelve days, and secures permission to return Li Gu and Du Qiao for burial.

Current Profile

Hanji 830 gives Yang Kuang the fullest mourning-and-burial action in the episode. When he learns of Du Qiao’s death, he travels overnight to Luoyang and disguises himself as a Xia Gate official so he can stay near the body under Liang Ji’s display order and mourning ban.

Yang Kuang guards Du Qiao’s body for twelve days before being discovered and reported. 梁妠 / 梁太后 pardons him. He then petitions for permission to return both Li Gu and Du Qiao to their native places, receives approval, buries Du Qiao, keeps mourning, and later withdraws permanently from office.
