Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 111 Are you here on vacation?

East Court.

After the chaos in the world, the Pei family established a temporary five-person clan association, and these five members were held by highly respected people from Pei's fifth house.The main task is to maintain the safety of the Pei family, and at the same time, to preside over the important affairs of the family when the head of the family is not in Wenxi.

Before Pei Ju came back, Pei Shiqing acted as the head of the family. Now that Pei Ju has returned safely, it is natural that Pei Ju will continue to preside over the affairs of the clan.

Since Pei Ju is still a captive, he will not be able to stay in the Pei family for a long time, so Pei Shiqing did not report to Pei Ju in detail, but told Pei Ju about important events.

"The merging of the two Peis, although it seems to be Pei Ji's intention on the surface, but in my opinion, it is probably Li Yuan's intention." Pei Shiqing said: "He has got the help of Guan Long, and now he wants to win us Pei Ji over. Shi."

"It's not that the Pei family cannot join Li Tang, but Wenxi Pei and Sang Quan Pei must not be merged!" The elder of the Dongjuan Pei clan sternly refused, saying: "Sang Quan Pei is a branch of more than a hundred years ago, and now it I haven't come to the ancestral hall for dozens of years, so I don't count as the Wenxi Pei family, if the two Peis merge, who should be the main one? Sang Quan Pei?"

"I don't agree with the merger of the two Peis either." Zhongjuan Pei said.

The elder of Wu Peifang who came from the south stroked his beard and said slowly: "Li Yuan wants Pei Ji to represent the Pei family and support Li Tang. At present, the Taiyuan Wang family has already taken refuge in Li Tang, and he needs Pei Ji to support him. Xiabingzhou. If we don't agree, will it cause his dissatisfaction?"

Pei Ju, who had been silent all this time, opened his eyes with a very calm tone.

"His dissatisfaction is useless, it's just a joke. Li Tang gained a foothold in Guanlong and established the country by gaining people from Guanlong. Now is the time for Li Yuan to expand his power. Offending the Pei family will only make him feel uncomfortable. Pei's inheritance So far, I have the confidence, so why not be afraid."

Several clan elders nodded one after another.

"Then how should we answer Li Tang?" Pei Shiqing asked.

Pei Ju said indifferently: "Tomorrow, I will go to Chang'an with Tang Jun. At that time, we will see how Li Yuan treats Mrs. Pei, and then think about countermeasures. However, if he wants to merge the two Peis, he will despise me, Wenxi Mrs. Pei! At that time , the old man would rather blood splash the imperial city than let him succeed!"

Pei Shiqing solemnly said: "If something happens to the head of the family, Wenxi Pei's children will never become officials until the end of the Tang Dynasty!"

This is the confidence of the aristocratic family!
There has never been a thousand-year dynasty in this world, only a thousand-year family!

Big things set the tone, and when small things are talked about, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, the King of Chu is kind to our Pei family." Pei Shiqing said: "A while ago, when Pei Shuang came back, he encountered bandits on his way, and he was rescued by the King of Chu. This time the Patriarch returned safely, and the King of Chu was among them." There is also contribution."

Pei Ju nodded and said, "Indeed."

His current sense of Li Zhiyun is not bad, after all, it was Li Zhiyun who rescued him from Yu Wenhua and that dog thief.The only thing that made him regret was that Li Zhiyun failed to kill Yu Wenhuaji to avenge his brother Pei Yun.

The next day, Li Zhiyun returned to Chang'an with the Sui officials.

The news of Lu Chongmao's failure in raising troops in Jiangzhou was sent back to Mayi, making Xunxiang feel that a waste is a waste, and he can't help him no matter what.

"Your Majesty, we can only rely on ourselves now." Xun Xiang said to Liu Wuzhou.

The Turkic people named Liu Wuzhou Dingyang Khan. He felt that this title was bullshit, so he first called himself King Dingyang, and now he is also called King of the Northern Han Dynasty.Not long ago, he ascended the throne as emperor.

Well, the country name is a big man.

No way, his surname is Liu, and he is usually related to Liu Bang.

Liu Wuzhou is a villain with a wicked face, his face is full of flesh.

"The guard of Taiyuan is Li Yuan's fourth son, Qi Wang Li Yuanji. I heard that this man is very successful and has no strategy. He is not as good as his second brother Li Shimin. Don't worry."

Liu Wuzhou is a pure careerist. From his reliance on the Turks, it can be seen that what he wants is the whole world, instead of being a "Dingyang Khan" in Mayi and controlled by the Turks.Judging from his current position, if he wanted to expand his territory, he had no choice but to go south.

"Decree, I want to receive the Turkic envoy."

"As ordered."

Li Tangzhi is strong, Liu Wuzhou knows it well.At present, only by relying on the Turks can they have a chance to defeat Li Tang.

"Yuchi Gong!"

"The end is here!" A black-faced man came out.When his figure appeared, the light in the room seemed to have dimmed a lot.

"You and the King of Song are training soldiers and horses, ready to go south at any time!"

"As ordered."

Not long ago, Song Jingang was defeated by Dou Jiande, and led the remnant troops to seek refuge with Liu Wuzhou.Liu Wuzhou admired Song Jingang very much, made him king of Song, and married his younger sister to him.

Song Jingang said: "Your Majesty, I think that when you meet the Turkic envoys this time, you can promise them benefits in exchange for horses and elite knights."

"What's the benefit?" Liu Wuzhou asked.

Song Jingang said: "I heard that when Li Yuan raised his troops from Jinyang, he promised the Turks that once they invaded Guanzhong, they would give the Turks their property. They divide the population of the city equally."

Liu Wuzhou thought for a while, then nodded solemnly.

"can."

The black-faced burly Yu Chi Gong lowered his head slightly, he somewhat hated this kind of exchange.

Li Yuanji, who was in Taiyuan, didn't know that Liu Wuzhou had already started planning for Taiyuan, and even the entire Bingzhou.

Taiyuan city head.

Dou Dan is on routine patrol.

Xia Houduan hurried over and asked, "General Dou, where is King Qi?"

Dou Dan asked strangely, "Isn't King Qi in the mansion?"

"No, I've searched all over Taiyuan, but I couldn't find him."

"Then I don't know." Dou Dan said perfunctorily.He knew in his heart that Li Yuanji must have gone hunting out of the city, but he didn't intend to say it.

"What's the matter, sir, but you have something important to report to King Ming Qi?" He asked.

Xia Houduan stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Lv Chongmao of Jiangzhou rebelled, and the governor urgently asked for help."

"Ah?" Dou Dan was startled, "How could this happen?"

Jiangzhou is behind them. If there is chaos, Taiyuan will not be safe.

"I don't know, the messenger just said so."

Hearing this, Dou Dan didn't dare continue to neglect, and hurriedly called people out of the city to look for Li Yuanji.But Taiyuan is so big, it is not so easy to find Li Yuanji who is hunting. Until the evening, Dou Dan and Xia Houduan did not find Li Yuanji.

In the end, it was Li Yuanji who returned from hunting by himself.

inside the hall.

As soon as Li Yuanji came back, he heard that Xia Houduan had something important to report, and before he had time to change his clothes, he met the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Taiyuan in the main hall.

"What's the matter?" Li Yuanji looked tired and impatient.

Seeing his appearance, Xia Hou was so angry that he wanted to say a few words to him, but he swallowed the words.Although he and Li Yuan are good friends, this King Qi is not an obedient person, so it's better not to talk about it.

"Your Majesty, Lu Chongmao in Jiangzhou rebelled, please send reinforcements to wipe it out."

"How many people?"

"About five thousand."

"That's it?" Li Yuanji sneered coldly, "You can handle such trivial matters as you see fit. My king is going to rest."

After speaking, leave gracefully.

Xia Houduan was dumbfounded, what is this shit?
Are you here on vacation in Taiyuan?

The Taiyuan civil and military people looked at each other and withdrew one after another.

Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, walked up to Xia Houduan and said, "Master, I trouble you to make arrangements for Jiangzhou."

Xia Houduan pursed his lips, and secretly swore in his heart that if he had the chance, he would commit Li Yuanji's crime of dereliction of duty!
Before Xia Houduan led his army to set off, another news came from Jiangzhou.

The king of Chu who escorted grain and grass passing through Jiangzhou had already wiped out Lu Chongmao.

After hearing the news, Xia Houduan breathed a sigh of relief, and silently thanked King Chu in his heart.
