Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 440

Pei Ji is in a good mood recently. In front of the crown prince, he suggested calling Liu Shirang back to Beijing to question his crimes, and personally arrested Liu Shirang's family members and sent them to jail. There is correspondence.

Pei Ji was attached to the East Palace, and his status in the prince's mind skyrocketed, so he was naturally in a good mood.

Pei Shiju is naturally in a good mood recently. Cui Xin and Li Shan are probably already trapped in Mayi. The caravan that went out of the customs made Li Shan famous, which is exactly the method that came from Pei Shiju.

As for the others, Pei Shiju resorted to tricks, but he can be sure that he did not leave any clues for others to trace.

But whether there are any clues is not important to some people. Princess Pingyang feels that as long as there is a motive, it is enough.

"Meet Your Highness Pingyang."

Princess Pingyang returned a salute, threw away the rein of the horse, stared at Pei Shiju with a frosty face, and said softly after a while: "Pei Xiang has gone through four dynasties, is famous all over the world, and has the ability to know people, which is unique in this world."

Pei Shiju's old face was unremarkable, "Your Highness is overwhelmed, and I'm too old..."

"Pei Xiang is seventy-six years old." Princess Pingyang nodded, "I heard that Pei Xiang's eldest son is now an official?"

Pei Shiju trembled slightly, and slowly raised his head. Pei Ji at the side was a little strange, and replied: "The third brother's eldest son, Xuan Ji, is now serving as a recorder in the Longzhou General Manager's Mansion and joining the military."

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the military and political power of a place was dominated by top leaders such as the general manager, governor, and governor. Assistant officials, Chang Shi, and Sima seldom had real power. Their scope of power largely depended on whether the top leaders delegated power.

But under the assistant officials, Sigong, Sicang, Sihu, Judiciary, Sibing, Sitian and other Cao Junjun are responsible for handling all aspects of government affairs. They hold real power, and these joining the army are led by the military recorder.

Recording affairs and participating in the military is not a high-ranking position, but it is a good place to be gilded.

Although Princess Pingyang is not involved in government affairs, she doesn't understand why, she said with a half-smile, "I don't know if Xiang Dalang Pei was married before?"

Pei Shiju forced a smile, and he could already hear the smell.

"His Royal Highness intends to be a matchmaker?" Pei Ji smoothed things over and said with a smile, "But they are married, and they are married to the daughter of the Bohai Feng family."

Today's Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Sima Fenglun of the Tiance Mansion was born in the Feng family of Bohai. He is related to Yang Su, the former Duke of Yue, and his father and grandparents all held high positions. His son was still in Huainan, the [-]th daughter of Li Yuan during the Zhenguan period. Princess.

Princess Pingyang sighed, "Do you have any heirs?"

The more Pei Ji listened, the more strange he became, "I already have three sons and one daughter."

"Your heirs are prosperous, Prime Minister Pei is very lucky." Princess Pingyang nodded, got on her horse, and left straight away.

"Third brother?" Pei Ji asked softly, "Princess Pingyang, this is..."

Pei Shiju shook his head, "If you don't know, just go in."

Now Pei Shiju can be sure that Princess Pingyang knew the inside story, and she also saw through Li Shan's trap in Mayi this time... Maybe he didn't see through, but he was sure that it was him who made the move.

Pei Shiju has only one son and one daughter. How could Princess Pingyang not know about it? Today, she deliberately asked, and also asked about Pei Xuanji's wife and heirs. Obviously, Princess Pingyang was making things clear and threatening.

You, Pei Shiju, live in the prime minister, so I can't do anything about you.

But you are sixty-six this year, how many years can you live?

If Li Shan dies in Mayi, see how I will deal with your descendants in the future!

Princess Pingyang galloped all the way back to the mansion, before she got off her horse, she saw several people entering the mansion under the guidance of servants.

"Du Xiao!"

"Meet Your Highness." Du Xiao happily turned around and fell to the ground, surrounded by Zhu Shitou and Su Dingfang who had just heard the news.

"How about Huairen?"

"Although there are tribulations, they return with great victory."

Princess Pingyang took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and finally had a few smiles on her face.

A quarter of an hour later, in the main hall of the Princess Mansion, Chai Shao patted the table and praised: "Although it is too risky, but he can see a good opportunity, make a decisive decision, attack the camp on a snowy night, and turn the tables in one fell swoop, you are really a hero!"

Du Xiao, who briefly recounted it, echoed: "The villain has also experienced battles, but he has never seen such a battle. He broke the camp that night. It seemed risky, but in fact it went smoothly..."

Chai Shao laughed loudly and said: "Huairen really did everything he could. First he was drunk with good wine, and then he set off for the return trip to dispel his guard before he could strike with a thunderbolt."

"Not only that." Zhu Shitou added: "Before the departure, Mr. Lang took us into the Turkic camp, held a banquet, and spied on the reality of the camp. That night, Du Xiao was able to drive the horses and make a big disturbance in the camp."

"Huairen is good at temple calculations." Princess Pingyang sighed: "But it's still too risky, if it's not Yu Sheshe who goes south, the rate of association is Yugushe...and even personally captures Yu Sheshe alive..."

Su Dingfang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Where's Zhu Ba?"

Zhu Shitou groaned, "Fifty whips, it's hard to ride a horse..."

Su Dingfang snorted and clenched his hands into fists... Du Xiao and Zhu Shitou all mourned for Zhu Ba in their hearts, and this guy will suffer later.

Chai Shao glanced at Princess Pingyang, "But Liu Shirang... Your Majesty originally planned to call him back to Beijing for questioning."

Princess Pingyang rubbed her brows. Of course she knew that many forces were rejecting Liu Shirang... Before the big defeat and the loss of Ma Yi, Liu Shirang must take the blame.

But now, Li Shan asked Liu Shirang to station in Mayi... I don't know what his father would think.

Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang suddenly got up, and took out the secret letter that Zhu Shitou had just presented from her sleeve, "Enter the palace immediately, and you will stay in the mansion to wait for news."

Su Dingfang pulled Du Xiao with a sullen face and asked in a low voice. After a while, his face became even uglier...Wang Junhao is not good at leading troops. Although Du Xiao has been in battle for a long time, he has always been a personal guard. up.

Galloping all the way straight into the imperial city, Princess Pingyang got off the horse until she got outside the Chengtian Gate, she let go of the horse's reins and stepped inside, and went down to the Hall of Liangyi under the guidance of the palace staff.

Although the status is extraordinary, she is a woman after all, and she is not allowed to intrude at will when discussing matters. Princess Pingyang did not step in until the palace people came in to report.

As soon as she entered, Princess Pingyang knew that the war report had already entered the palace, because he saw Yuan Pu, except for Li Yuan and his son, the ministers of the three provinces were all present.

"Come on, Pingyang!"

Holding the document in hand, Li Yuan laughed and said, "Just then you said that Huairen is a pillar of talent, and complained that being a father did not reserve talents for the country!"

"At this moment, I know that Huairen is not a pillar of the future."

"Today's battle report is known all over the world. Such a character is already the best in the world!"

Princess Pingyang deliberately controlled herself not to turn her head to look, but Li Shimin, who was second only to Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, had no scruples. Looking away, Pei Shiju's face was pale, and his thin lips were trembling.
