Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 102 The Internal Affairs of the Pei Clan

Li Junxian sent Pei Shuang and his party to Wenxi, and said goodbye with fists in their hands.

"Wait a moment, general." Pei Shuang called Li Junxian to stop.

"What's the matter?"

"May I ask who is that just now?" Pei Shuang asked.

Li Junxian replied: "The King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty."

After saying that, he led the cavalry away.

"Prince Chu?" Pei Shuang secretly sighed, he really stayed in Jiangdu for too long, so long that he didn't even know who the King of Chu was.

A group of people entered Peibai Village and followed the familiar country road to the ancestral hall.

Wenxi Pei's family, the simple four words represent absolute weight.Everyone in the world knows the Taiyuan Wang family with five surnames and seven Wangs, but few people know that in Bingzhou, there is a saying of "Northern King and Southern Pei".

In terms of strength and background, the Pei family is not afraid of the so-called five surnames and seven hopes.

This time, Pei Shuang returned to the Wenxi clan to bring back his father Pei Yun's clothes.

"After Yu Wenhuaji killed the king, the head of the family escaped by chance because he married Xiaoguo Jun's wife. But my father was killed by Yu Wenhuaji, a thief. I took advantage of Li Mi's defeat of Yu Wenhuaji, and escaped. jaws of death."

Pei Shuang told the old man in front of him what happened in the past year.

The name of this old man is Pei Shiqing, who once represented the Great Sui Dynasty as an envoy to the country of Wa.

After finishing speaking, Pei Shiqing sighed: "The world is chaotic, you don't have to be too sad when Pei Yun is in trouble. At any rate, you and Pei Min have nothing to do, and Pei Yun's spirit in heaven can somewhat comfort you."

Pei Shuang smiled wryly and said, "When the late Emperor went to Jiangdu, the Patriarch knew that the world would be difficult, but no one thought that such a thing would happen."

Speaking of the Patriarch, Pei Shiqing asked, "Is the Patriarch still in Yu Wenhuaji's hands?"

"Yes." Pei Shuang said: "Yu Wenhuaji sent someone to monitor the Patriarch, so there is no way for my nephew to escape with the Patriarch."

"Traitor!"

Rao is such a self-cultivated person as Pei Shiqing, facing the shameless Yu Wenhuaji, he can't help but spit out his fragrance.

"The head of the family does not return to Wenxi, there are many important events in the clan, and the children are also a group of dragons without a leader and don't know where to go."

Hearing this, Pei Shuang asked: "Uncle, has Ren Ji returned? After Li Mi's defeat, did he escape?"

"Pei Renji and his son are now in Luoyang."

"He wants to be loyal to Emperor Huangtai?" Pei Shuang frowned and said, "I heard that Luoyang is now in conflict, and Wang Shichong, Lu Chu and others are in deep conflict."

Pei Shiqing was silent for a while, and said: "This is also a way. In troubled times, the Pei family has many choices and many ways."

This is also the usual practice of the aristocratic family, not only the Pei family, but also the Wei family, Dugu family, Yuan family and other families have officials in Luoyang and Chang'an.The so-called eggs can not be put in the same basket, that is probably what it means.

Speaking of this, Pei Shiqing said: "Recently, people from Sangquan came to discuss the merger of the two Peis. I originally wanted to wait for the Patriarch to come back before making any plans, but now I'm afraid it won't work. The Patriarch's life and death are uncertain, and I don't know what to do. Is good."

"Sang Quan?" Pei Shuang was startled, and immediately refused: "Uncle, this must be the meaning of Chang'an. Pei Ji is now the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. He is so shameless that he actually wants to annex the Wenxi Pei family while the head of the family is away. !"

The Sangquan Pei family belongs to the branch of the Wenxi Pei family, and the Wenxi Pei family belongs to the main sect, with the western family as the main family and the other four houses as well.

Sangquan Pei's family is not even in the fifth house.Therefore, in Pei Shuang's view, the so-called merger of the two Peis is actually the Sangquan Pei family annexing the Wenxi Pei family through Pei Ji.

Of course, Sangquan Pei has always called himself Xijuan Pei, but no one in the Pei family admits it.

"Don't get excited." Pei Shiqing said: "Currently the clan elders are still discussing, as long as the Patriarch doesn't return for a day, I will not agree. You are so opposed, but do you have prejudice against the Tang Dynasty?"

Pei Shuang sighed and explained: "It's not that I have any prejudice against Datang, I just don't like Pei Ji's actions. Actually, on the way back, I encountered bandits, and it was the King of Chu of Datang who rescued me before I escaped."

King of Chu?

Pei Shiqing was taken aback.

"The king of Chu has come to Jiangzhou?"

"Yes, but I don't know what he's here for." Pei Shuang said.

Naturally, Li Zhiyun didn't know that the Pei family's son he rescued was Pei Yun's eldest son, Pei Shuang.

After leaving Jiangzhou, Li Zhiyun led his army through the Taihang Pass and arrived in Xiangzhou on the third day.Along the way, there are actually many injustices. There are always some thieves who don't have a good eye for money and want to buy food and fodder on the road.

However, without exception, these people have become the souls of the dead under the sword of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyang.

Li Shentong, the appeasement ambassador of Shandong Province, led an army of [-] troops to station here.

"Thank you, the king of Chu personally escorted the food and grass." The Deputy Envoy of Shandong Road, the Minister of Huangmen, and Cui Mingan came to welcome Li Zhiyun.

Li Zhiyun clasped his fists and said, "Don't dare, it is my duty to serve the country."

Cui Min made some food and fodder, and led Li Zhiyun to Anyang.

"Cui Shilang, what's the current situation in Hebei?"

"It's a mess." Cui Minqian sighed: "Originally, there were Dou Jiande, Xu Yuanlang and others who were raging in Hebei. Now Yu Wenhuaji is also curled up in Weizhou, and it affects the whole body. Recently, Wang Shichong is also in close contact with Xu Yuanlang. Yuan Lang, I'm afraid a war will break out in Hebei soon."

Li Zhiyun said: "Yu Wenhua and Li Mi have been defeated in the army. His own vitality has been seriously injured. He is not enough to pose a threat to our Tang Dynasty. What we really need to be careful of is Dou Jiande."

"Ke Yu Wenhua and after all, there are elites from the former Sui Dynasty, we can't take it lightly." Cui Mingan said in a low voice.

Li Zhiyun explained: "Cui Shilang's worry is not unreasonable, it's just that Yu Wenhuaji and Li Mi fought, and both sides will suffer. Yu Wenhuaji suffered a disastrous defeat, and the elite elites under his command must have suffered heavy losses."

"I also know that's the case, but my Tang army is stationed here, so I can't do anything." Cui Mingan said.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun was dumbfounded, this Cui Mingan is quite stable.

"It's okay, we are afraid of Yu Wenhuaji, but why doesn't Yu Wenhuaji fear us?"

"Zhiyun is right!" A voice interrupted the two of them.

I saw more than a dozen people walking in front, and the leader was Li Shentong.

"My nephew has seen the emperor's uncle."

"Excuse me." Li Shentong helped Li Zhiyun up, and said with a smile: "I said, why is there a magpie chattering non-stop on the roof today? It turns out that the emperor's nephew is here. What a happy event!"

Li Zhiyun smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Huang was joking."

"Today, you and my nephew, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Li Shentong said boldly.

Li Zhiyun immediately refused, "Uncle, my father has something to say, drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited in the army, please be considerate of my nephew."

"I'm so scared." Li Shentong held Li Zhiyun's shoulders and said, "This is Xiangzhou, not Chang'an. A sage won't say anything."

"That's not okay, my nephew doesn't dare to disobey my father." Li Zhiyun acted like a good boy.

Li Shentong suddenly felt bored and let go of Li Zhiyun's shoulders.

While returning to Daying in Anyang, everyone talked about the situation in Hebei.

For now, it's largely stable.Yu Wenhuaji didn't dare to act presumptuously in Weizhou, and seemed to be recovering.

There was no movement on Dou Jiande's side, and he was in a state of silence.
