Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 405 The Warm Family of Shencefu

After talking with his mother, Li Zhiyun let go of his last thoughts.

For this action, he can't guarantee that he will be 100% successful in the end, because even a small accident may lead to the final direction of the matter, so he can only do his best to do his best.

On the seventh day of March, Gao Kaidao attacked Youzhou again. Luo Yi struggled to support him and sent people to Chang'an for help.

Li Zhiyun was in charge of Datang's foreign military affairs. After hearing the news, he immediately ordered the local generals stationed in Hebei to lead his troops to intercept.

At the same time, Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang also led their troops to Hebei on this day.

Afterwards, the officials of the Eastern Palace still suggested from time to time that the emperor dispatch the officials of the Shence Mansion to serve in various places in order to disperse the power of the Shence Mansion.In private, Donggong never stopped trying to win over the bureaucrats of Shence Mansion.

Fortunately, the hearts of the Shence Mansion officials were all Li Zhiyun's, and there was no progress in the East Palace for a while.

Pei House.

Wang Gui visited Pei Ju again.

If you want to find a person who visits Pei Ju the most in Chang'an, the first one must be Wang Gui, and the second one is Li Zhiyun.

Sometimes, Wang Gui really felt that Pei Ju was stubborn and he was really a friend to Mrs. Pei, but Mrs. Pei always ignored his kindness.

In fact, this is not surprising. As the two major families in Hedong Road, the Taiyuan Wang family and Wenxi Pei family have almost been married for generations, and they watch and help each other.

Now, knowing that the crown prince is determined to rebel, he wants to tactfully persuade Pei Ju one last time.

"Pei Gong, as far as I know, Miss Su'er is not yet married. If she can enter the East Palace to serve the crown prince, the Pei family will also be able to get help from her in the future." Wang Gui held the teacup, not drinking, just talking.

The old god Pei Ju took a sip of tea at ease, and sighed: "Oh, I am old, and few people listen to what I say now. Su Niang's matter is up to the high, and I can't force him."

Hearing this, Wang Gui knew in his heart that the Pei family was unwilling to marry the crown prince.Although Pei Fenggao had rejected him before, he still wanted to hear Pei Ju's opinion, but he didn't expect Pei Ju to disagree with such a good thing.

It is purely ridiculous to say that no one is obedient. As the head of the family, he decides all important matters in the family.The same is true of marriage, and the consent of the parties is never required.

Wang Gui said: "Pei Gong, our two families have a strip of water, so I won't say anything else, the prince's patience is limited."

"Hehe." Pei Ju smiled, "How can Pei's virtue make His Royal Highness endure, why don't you tell me?"

Seeing this, Wang Gui's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Pei Gong, I still can't figure out what your plan is. Now that the crown prince's position is stable, and we are all loyal to the Shandong family, why do you want to divide them?"

In the past, he thought that it was because the emperor didn't grant Pei Ju the title of Duke of Wenxi County, and didn't recognize Pei Ju as the head of Wenxi's family through official documents, which caused Pei Ju to have "no intention of official career".

But later he found out that was not the case, because the sage had already made Pei Ju the prime minister, and it was only a matter of time before he could be re-canonized as Duke of Wenxi County.

So what's the reason?
Pei Ju had no intention of explaining to Wang Gui, but just drank his tea with his head down.

Seeing this, Wang Gui finally said, "I hope Mr. Pei will not regret his decision in the future."

Pei Ju chuckled.

He has already made a decision, and naturally he will not regret it.However, this decision was different from what Wang Gui expected.

Loyalty to the crown prince is naturally the most stable choice, but it is a pity that it is not in the interests of the Pei family.He didn't want the Taiyuan Wang family to overwhelm the Pei family when the next generation of the Pei family head took over.

Qin Mansion.

"There is still half a stick of incense, don't move."

Qin Qiong was dressed in a military uniform and stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.In front of him, the eldest son Qin Huaiyu was squatting on a horse, with a stick of incense placed under his crotch.

This kind of exercise method is the basic method used by the king of Chu to train recruits. It is very common in the army of the king of Chu. It is mainly used to train soldiers to keep their legs stable and strengthen their legs.

In the advanced version, a pottery bowl is placed on top of the soldier's head.

The reason why you want to practice this way is mainly for riding.If you want to be superb in riding skills, your legs must be strong and able to clamp the horse's belly tightly, otherwise the cavalry is likely to collapse at the first touch if they charge on the battlefield and the foot is unstable.

Looking at her son's flushed face, Qin Qiong asked, "Can you take care of the little pony that His Highness gave you every day?"

"Yes." Qin Huaiyu held his breath and spoke briefly and hastily.

Qin Qiong said: "That colt is a Turkic war horse. When it grows up, it will not lose to the Jinshan horse as its father. You have to get along well with it. When it goes to the battlefield in the future, the war horse will be your brother."

"Yes."

"What is the essence of cavalry?"

"A man and a horse are one!" Qin Huaiyu replied loudly.

Before Qin Qiong could answer, a loud voice sounded.

"Very good, very energetic!" Cheng Yaojin stepped forward.

When he got closer, Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "Huaiyu, the horse's stance is good. In two years, you can go hunting with us on the grassland."

"Yes, Uncle Shi!"

Qin Qiong asked, "Why are you here?"

"Go over there and talk." Cheng Yaojin pointed to the pavilion not far away.

Qin Qiong nodded, and said to Qin Huaiyu: "After the incense is burned, you can rest."

"Yes." Qin Huaiyu replied loudly.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin walked to the pavilion on the side.

"Shubao, we're leaving in a few days."

"I know." Qin Qiong's eyes fell on his son, and said: "Your Highness has treated us with great kindness, and it is time to repay His Highness."

"I think this is our chance." Cheng Yaojin said: "We are all warriors, and we are not from Guanlong. If we don't fight now, we will at most be the Duke of the county in the future. Whether it is for His Highness, or For ourselves, and even for these little guys in the future, it is worth fighting for once."

After a pause, he joked, "Of course, if Huaiyu can marry Princess Bao in the future, she will live a lifetime of glory and wealth."

"Enough." Qin Qiong said angrily: "When is this, and you are still talking about this."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"By the way, is the East Palace still contacting you?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Qin Qiong shook her head, "After I refused, they never looked for me again."

"That's good." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

After Cheng Yaojin left, Qin Huaiyu finally finished all the training for today.

Qin Qiong put his big hand on his son's head, and said earnestly: "Huaiyu, as a father, I will go out with His Highness once in a few days. You must take good care of your mother at home."

"Well, the child knows."

Yuchi Mansion.

That night, Yu Chigong sat down with his wife and children to eat.

Yuchi Gong's main wife, Su Yan, gave birth to Yuchi Baolin, and died in the ninth year of Daye. Since then, Yu Chi Gong has never married another main wife, and all affairs in the mansion are taken care of by the concubine.And Yu Chigong's second son and third son were also born in the concubine.

As the family ate, Yu Chigong reached out and tore off a chicken leg and put it in his son's bowl.

"Eat more meat to grow stronger."

"Yeah." Yuchi Baolin lowered her head and bit the chicken leg.

Seeing his son like this, Yu Chigong grinned and asked, "Did you compete with that kid Qin Huaiyu recently?"

Yuchi Baolin hesitated, then whispered: "Yes."

"Did you win?"

"." Yuchi Baolin bowed her head and stopped eating the chicken legs.

In terms of strength alone, he is not inferior to Qin Huaiyu, but his martial arts skills are still lacking.

"The boy must beat him next time."

As Yuchi Baolin grows up, she also understands the relationship between her parents.Although my Yeye and Qin Shishu have no enmity or grudge, they always regard each other as competitors.

In addition, these juniors also have competition when they meet each other on weekdays.

Yuchi Gong didn't speak, Yuchi Baolin was very nervous, subconsciously guarding against the possible slaps from his father.

Even Yu Chigong's side room quietly put down the bowl, ready to dissuade Yu Chigong from doing anything.

Sure enough, Yu Chigong put down the bowl and stretched out his hand.

Everyone held their breath, even Yu Chigong's second and third sons subconsciously stopped cooking.

Gently, a big hand landed on Yuchi Baolin's head.

"Win it back next time!"

Yuchi Baolin was stunned, yeah, he didn't whip me this time?He nodded quickly, "I will win it back!"

"Okay, this is my son." Yu Chigong laughed loudly, patted his son's head, and asked, "Where's that little bastard surnamed Cheng?"

"Cheng Chumo?" Yuchi Baolin proudly said, "He can't beat me with one hand."

"That's good."

The family in Yuchi's mansion talked and laughed while eating.

That night, the children of the military generals and civilian families of the Shence Mansion enjoyed his father's rare tenderness.
