Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 290 Pei Shiju
Inside the house, the old Pei Shiju sighed and looked at his son-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, his face was full of disappointment... I had chosen Cao Qigui in the previous dynasty, and received many praises. Unexpectedly, after careful selection, I chose such a son-in-law.

Li Dewu knelt down on his knees, sweating like rain, not daring to say a word... After more than ten years of rising up and working hard, he has abandoned too much for this. Whether it will come to naught, the old man in front of him will say a word And never.

At this moment, Li Dewu has only one thought in his mind... Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, he has worked hard and has children.

Li Dewu knew very well that Pei Shiju's behavior seemed elegant, but in fact he was capable. If he and Pei Shuying had no children, they might be sent abroad tomorrow, and then quietly disappeared into this world.

But Pei Shiju's next words left Li Dewu speechless.

"Although Shen Guogong's lineage moved from the grasslands to the Central Plains and was passed down as Li Ling, you have also been familiar with history books since childhood." Pei Shiju said slowly: "Old man, let me ask, why did the Hedong Huo family originate?"

Li Dewu swallowed his saliva, did not dare to raise his head, and reluctantly said: "Because of the champion."

The champion Hou Huo Qubing is the illegitimate son of Huo Zhongru, a small official in Pingyang County, and a female slave in the Pingyang Houfu. Although Huo Zhongru is unknown and hopeless, and the Huo family belongs to the small family of Hedong, he refuses to recognize this illegitimate son.

But who would have imagined that Huo Qubing had an aunt who was crowned in the sixth palace and was able to be in the Weiyang Palace, and an uncle who was recognized by later generations as a famous general alongside Han Xin, Li Jing, and Wu Qi.

Long-distance driving six actions, electric shock and thunder, drinking horses and seas, conferring wolves and living in Xuxu, titles and titles, champions, and officials up to Sima... This is an extremely bright star in the long river of history.

"Li Huairen is such a character, although it is difficult to compare with the champion, but he is similar." Pei Shiju said softly: "Could it be that the old man is so intolerant?"

"Could it be that the Hedong Pei family is so difficult to tolerate?"

Li Shan is indeed very similar to Huo Qubing. He was also abandoned by his biological father, cared for his widowed mother, and became famous at a young age. Huo Qubing was favored by his uncle, Emperor Wu of Han, while Li Shan was regarded by Li Yuan as his nephew because he healed Princess Pingyang.

But that's not the point.

Li Dewu naturally understood these words. After Huo Qubing recognized his father, he brought a younger brother to Chang'an, invited famous teachers to teach him, successively served in many positions, and finally became a generation of famous ministers...or powerful officials.

Huo Qubing's younger brother is the famous Huo Guang.

Because of Huo Qubing, Huo Guang, who came from an unremarkable background, was able to shine.

And the unknown Hedong Huo family has become a famous family in the world. There are many knights in the family, and there have been two queens.

After Pei Shiju returned to the Tang Dynasty, he saw that the world was gradually unified, and there were no outstanding people in the Pei family's nephew and nephews in Hedong. If Li Shan could be accommodated and borrowed from each other, Li Shan would be able to jump up, and the Pei family in Hedong would not be able to live in the west. Decline... More importantly, Li Shan has a foreign surname after all.

Pei Shiju sighed a long time, "Is there a place to return it?"

If the father and son can recognize each other, it will be of great benefit to Pei Shiju and the Pei clan of Hedong. Now the Pei clan of Hedong is attached to the East Palace. From Pei Ji to Pei Longqian and Li Dewu, they are all from the East Palace. Even Pei Shiju is also the prince Zhan Shi. , Pei Shiju immediately stuffed people into Qin Palace...

Li Dewu's forehead was pressed against the floor tiles, and he was speechless for a long time... Finally, he heard another long sigh.

Li Dewu really couldn't find anything to say. He couldn't say that he abandoned this son... He didn't think he had any talents. Who knew that Li Shan's sudden rise to fame would be compared by his father-in-law to the famous general Huo Qubing.

After finding out the truth, this is something that Pei Shiju regrets and finds hard to understand...Why would the son-in-law do this?
Recommending Li Shan to diagnose and treat Princess Pingyang...is definitely not good intentions, such things are very dangerous.

In the end, Princess Pingyang survived, and the prince rewarded Li Dewu twice because of this. Pei Ji told him about this, and Pei Shiju was keenly aware that Li Dewu was probably targeting Li Shan.

Regarding appearance, surname, and imaginary appearance, Pei Shiju sent people to go south to Lingnan for inspection, and finally confirmed that Li Shannai was the son-in-law's eldest son.

Why should Li Shan be abandoned... Pei Shiju can understand that if Li Dewu wants to rise to the top, he can only rely on the Hedong Pei family to bring Li Shan with him, which will definitely make Pei Shuying unhappy, so that the husband and wife will have a rift.

But why target Li Shan... This is the most difficult thing for Pei Shiju to understand.

If the truth comes to light in the future, will Li Shan deny his father?

Huo Qubing was named the champion, his aunt was the queen, his uncle was the emperor, and his uncle was the great Sima, so he had to put on a family show.

After a long silence, Pei Shiju said softly: "Except for the matter of Princess Pingyang...Li Shan has never been famous for his poetic talent before, nor did he post posts, but he finally went to the Jinshi Department...Remember that it is the responsibility of the county lieutenant to take the exam."

Li Dewu raised his head slightly, "Yes."

"anything else?"

Li Dewu knew very well that the relationship between himself and his eldest son would never be eased, so he took a deep breath and said softly: "That day he escorted the grain and grass to the north into the Hebei Road..."

After Pei Shiju listened expressionlessly for a moment, he suddenly swung his right hand across and swept the teacup off the table, and the clear and crisp sound interrupted Li Dewu's narration.

"In the past, reunion with broken mirrors was a good talk, but reunion with broken mirrors is now..." Pei Shiju's brows were raised, "A son who denies his father is treason, and a father wants to kill his son..."

"If the king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, then the ministers will regard the emperor as his heart; if the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers will regard him as a countryman!"

"A king treats his ministers like grass, but the ministers treat the emperor like a bandit!"

"Such a unicorn, let him do what he wants, and you may be able to reunite father and son in the future, but you insist on avenging the bandits!" Pei Shiju scolded: "It's stupid!"

For Li Shanlai to vote, Pei Shiju no longer counts on it... Comparing his heart to his heart, what would he do if he had such a father?
In general, Li Dewu attacked Li Shan several times. Although Li Shan saved himself from danger many times, and even became famous because of this...but he never fought back, which is considered as the best of humanity.

Uh, this is just Pei Shiju's thinking... Maybe Li Dewu thinks the same way.

After thinking for a while with a sullen face, Pei Shiju said softly: "First, this matter needs to be kept secret and Shuying must not know about it. Those old servants of yours?"

"Keep secret." Li Dewu was shocked.

"Secondly, send him out of Beijing." Pei Shiju doesn't care about Li Dewu, but he cares about his daughter. Once this matter is leaked, Li Dewu's reputation will be ruined, and the Pei family in Hedong will not feel good.

The most important thing is that Pei Shiju faintly sensed that Li Shan might not do anything to Li Dewu. After all, he was a father and son, but he might transfer his hatred to the Pei family in Hedong... Specifically, it was himself, the provincial servant, and Pei Shuying.

Let Li Shan continue to stir up troubles in Chang'an, it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future... After all, this young man is not what he was two years ago, and he already has a lot of weight.

After asking a few words in a low voice, Pei Shiju drove Li Dewu away, staring at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground quietly, thinking in his heart, the Pei family of Hedong is attached to the East Palace... Did Li Shan join the King of Qin?
This person planned the Shandong war, and gave the prince a great embarrassment, but he immediately killed Cui Bo, rescued the prince, and entered the imperial examination himself as an official. It seems that he has not made a choice between the East Palace and the Qin Palace...

But if this person really harbors hatred for the Hedong Pei family, he can only choose King Qin...Pei Shiju closed his eyes and meditated, maybe he should do more.
