Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 112 Two People Surnamed Pei

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

"On the eighteenth day of the first month of the second year of Wude, Shandong Dao pacification ambassador, Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, sent troops to Wei County, defeated Yu Wenhuaji, wiped out [-] thieves, and captured Sui officials." A group of Tang Dynasty ministers spread the news of Hebei's great victory.

When Xiao Yu heard "capture the former Sui Empress Dowager", tears welled up in his eyes.That was his own sister.

"Therefore, the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the King of Chu, the order of Shangshu of Daoxingtai of Shandong Province, and the governor of Liangzhou, will be rewarded."

"I thank my father, the emperor Long En." Li Zhiyun bowed and bowed.

Dozens of cars of treasures were not given to Li Shentong in vain. In the success report presented to Lao Li, Li Shentong truthfully included Li Zhiyun's achievements.

However, Lao Li's rewards are very weak, except for the rewards of gold and silver treasures, the others are all empty titles, which are used to decorate the facade and are not of much use.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Prince Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The officials quickly followed suit.

In Li Yuan's heart, he felt comfortable, killing Yu Wenhuaji was nothing, the main reason was to capture the former Sui Empress Dowager and a group of Sui officials.Of course, those dozens of cars of treasure also count.

"This time, my dynasty's great victory is all due to the strategizing and strategizing efforts of the love ministers, and the bloody fighting of the frontline soldiers. I am very relieved."

Lao Li's daily emperor's modesty.

Pei Ji laughed and said: "The ministers have made merit, and so have the soldiers, but the most important thing is His Majesty's wise commander. Therefore, the old minister thinks that without His Majesty's wisdom in choosing people, it would be difficult to have the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today."

nausea!

Li Zhiyun felt sick to his stomach, this old boy Pei Ji said disgusting things, he is really a veteran in flattering.

Lao Li was humble for a while, and then he was named a meritorious general.

After the award procedure was finished, Lao Li ordered that Empress Dowager Xiao wait for Sui Chen to enter the Tai Chi Hall.

When Empress Dowager Xiao walked into the hall, Tang officials all looked sideways. Most of them were Sui officials before, and they were no strangers to this great Sui empress.When we meet again, we will be in a trance.

The so-called feng shui turns, probably so.

The former queen, now the former queen mother.

It is embarrassing.

Empress Xiao looked at Li Yuan on the throne, feeling very complicated in her heart, including hatred, regret, fear, jealousy and so on.

The man on the throne was supposed to be her husband, but now he turned into Li Yuan, the cowardly Li Yuan from before.

This person once bowed his knees in front of her husband.

Now, it was her turn to bow down before him.

"Mr. Yang Xiao, pay homage to Your Majesty." Empress Xiao slightly bowed her knees.

"I pay homage to the saint." Pei Ju, Yang Gongren and other Sui officials paid respects one after another.

Li Yuan stared at her for a long time before he laughed loudly and said, "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuan recalled: "Speaking of which, Yang Guang and I are cousins. Back then, he perverted and harmed the people. I tried to persuade him many times, but he ignored it. The Sui Dynasty fell apart, and the people mourned. I won the support of the ministers with my insignificance. , Fang Li Datang, you should use Yang Guang as a mirror, and always be on guard against yourself and Datang."

"Your Majesty sees clearly." Pei Ji joked everyday.

Empress Xiao's eyes drooped slightly, she could only helplessly listen to Li Yuanyao's disgusting man who swaggered.

Xiangguo Xiao Yu went out, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Guang is dead. I beg Your Majesty to forgive Yang Xiao and show my kindness to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "There is an injustice and a debtor. Yang Guang's crime has its own historical commentary. I am not Yang Guang. How could I kill innocent people indiscriminately. Xiao Aiqing, don't worry."

"Your Majesty is truly the Lord of Benevolence." Xiao Yu praised.

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Although Yang Guangyu committed a serious crime to the people, since he has been executed, I will never continue to pursue his family members. Furthermore, I was abdicated by the Sui Emperor to establish the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, I must treat the former widow kindly. Yang Xiaoshi, I will make you the wife of the Sui Dynasty and support you in Chang'an."

"Thank you saint."

Empress Xiao silently agreed.

Afterwards, Li Yuan looked at Yang Gongren.

"Gongren, it's a bit late for us to meet."

Yang Gongren smiled helplessly, "The guilty minister also misses His Majesty."

"Hey, you are loyal to the Sui Dynasty, so you can't be called a criminal minister. I have long wanted to meet Gongren again."

"I am frightened."

Li Yuan and Yang Gongren are old acquaintances, so it is inevitable that they will be friendly in the court and talk about the glorious years in the past.

In the end, Li Yuan named Yang Gongren the servant of Huangmen and the Duke of Guan.

Yang Gongren wanted to resign, but Lao Li was very persistent, so he had no choice but to accept, thanking Li Yuan for his love.

Afterwards, Li Yuan named Pei Ju as the censor in the palace and the county magistrate of Anyi.

But this time, Pei Ju refused very simply.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister has just returned to the Tang Dynasty and has no merits. If he is awarded a title, it is not in line with the etiquette. Please take it back."

Li Yuan said unhappily: "Pei Gong, just like Guan Guogong, you just fell into the hands of thieves and had to do so. You can't be regarded as a criminal minister. Don't refuse my kindness."

Pei Ji also jumped out, and said with a smile: "Brother Pei, this is a gift from His Majesty, you can't refuse it."

Which onion are you?
When Lao Tzu was at his peak, you were a contractor who built Jinyang Palace.

Pei Ju despised Pei Ji from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, Pei Ji was just a villain who got lucky.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the guilty minister dare not accept it."

At this time, Liu Wenjing, who had always been a transparent person, said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Li Yuan frowned.

The courtiers were not surprised to see Liu Wenjing jumping out, and they showed expressions of course.

The confrontation between Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing has gradually shown signs.Whatever Pei Ji agrees with, Liu Wenjing definitely opposes.Whenever Liu Wenjing speaks, Pei Ji will definitely find fault.

"Pei Ju was a minister of the former court. When he first entered our court, he conferred titles of officials and titles. This is inconsistent with our Tang system. Once this precedent is set, it is not appropriate for future generations to follow suit."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun glanced at the serious Liu Wenjing, thinking that this guy would really open his eyes and talk nonsense.Why didn't you come out and speak when Yang Gongren made Guan Guogong just now.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun suddenly frowned.

Liu Wenjing and Pei Ju didn't seem to have much in common, so why did he target Pei Ju?
Li Zhiyun suddenly didn't understand.

After Liu Wenjing finished speaking, Pei Ji jumped out to object.

It was a turn-based system, anyway, the two refuted each other in the palace, just to argue against each other.

The more Li Zhiyun listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

He remembered that he once talked about Pei Ji with Pei Ju, and the former had very indifferent feelings towards Pei Ji at that time.Logically speaking, Pei Ji shouldn't be so friendly to Pei Ju.

Is it because both of them have the surname Pei?

Li Zhiyun smiled in his heart, feeling that his idea was ridiculous.

Pei Ji was born in Sangquan, and Pei Ju was born in Wenxi, they didn't know each other before.

Wait, Sang Quan?Wen Xi?

A flash of light flashed in Li Zhiyun's mind, as if he had grasped something.

Squinting his eyes, Li Zhiyun carefully observed Pei Ju and Pei Ji.

Looking at it this way, it's really a bit strange.

The two surnamed Pei rejected each other's kindness, but Liu Wenjing helped Pei Ju reject Pei Ji's kindness.

interesting.
