Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 672

Zhang Xianyu returned to Liangzhou again. He was very familiar with this city. After all, he spent most of his youth in Liangzhou.

It's just that he was a little unfamiliar with Pei Yuan. In fact, Zhang Xianyu had never seen Pei Yuan before.

On the contrary, Zhang Xianyu, the eldest lady of the Pei family, is still a little familiar. They have studied together in the school in Yongxun Palace.

A burst of silver bell-like laughter floated by. The visitor was dressed in men's clothing with a headband on his head, and was riding a magnificent white horse.

Zhang Xianyu recognized who it was at a glance, it was Pei Yuan's eldest daughter, Mrs. Pei.

"Fatty, have you grown so tall? You're not that fat, and you're finally a bit masculine."

Zhang Xianyu closed his eyes sadly, the word fat dun'er is not a word of this era, but it appeared in this era thanks to the blessing of his father Shao Mingzi.

Ever since Zhang Ting called Zhang Xianyu Fatty, this word has almost become synonymous with him.

Mrs. Pei looked at Zhang Xianyu up and down again, until Xue Guizhong, the magistrate of Chengtian Liangzhou Mansion behind him, coughed dryly, and backed away a little bit embarrassed.

There is a reason for her to think so, because Mrs. Pei knows what Zhang Xianyu is here for.

Of course, Zhang Ting couldn't really let Zhang Xianyu, a brat, bring up the matter of marriage by himself. He had asked Shen Zhihai, the procurator of Hexi Province, to talk to Pei Yuan a long time ago.

Shen Zhihai was born in the Yangfeigu tribe of the Liugu tribe in Liangzhou, and he is a descendant of the Longyou Han general who can produce a genealogy.

Although the Shen family didn't produce many great talents, their son Shen Nianban was only a prefect.

However, the Shen family and the Zhao family, as the Han tribes in the Liugu tribe, have always been the key players in Zhang Tie's unification of the Liugu tribe in Lianglan. A great helper.

It is most appropriate for Shen Zhihai, the head of the Shen family, to propose marriage to Pei Yuan.

And Pei Yuan's education for his children is very Tang-style, coupled with the geographical location and folk customs of Chengtian Liangzhou Prefecture, thus creating the character of Mrs. Pei who is hot-tempered, daring to love and hate, and a woman who does not give in to men.

When he set off to meet Zhang Xianyu, Pei Yuan had already told Mrs. Pei about this matter, so Mrs. Pei observed Zhang Xianyu with the eyes of her future husband.

The result made her very satisfied. Although Zhang Xianyu's mother, Ayigul, was not very favored, it was because of physical problems, and it was not that she was not beautiful. On the contrary, she was a very beautiful Uighur girl.

Although Zhang Ting can't be called handsome, he is at least average, which ensures that Zhang Xianyu can't be too ugly.

In addition, Zhang Xianyu has gradually grown up over the years, and his body has become stronger and stronger, and he has lost the chubbyness of his childhood, which of course can satisfy Mrs. Pei.

It's just that Zhang Xianyu is still a little disappointed in his heart. Mrs. Pei is full of heroism, but her appearance can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

This is inevitable. The eldest lady is the daughter of Pei Yuan when he was not developed in the past. There are so many great places.

The only thing that can be called lucky is that Mrs. Pei did not follow Pei Yuan's slender and bewitching eyes, otherwise the only commendable heroic spirit would be destroyed.

But Zhang Xianyu didn't take it seriously, not to mention Mrs. Pei's appearance is still in the past, even if she is as ugly as her mother without salt, it doesn't matter.

As long as she is Pei Yuan's daughter, she can have [-]% of her mother's ability, which is enough to cover up any shortcomings in appearance.

"Minister, Xue Guizhong, the magistrate of Chengtian Liangzhou Prefecture and the military and horse supervisor of Liangzhou Prefecture, has met Mr. Erlang!"

New Kucha City was born in the East Returning Sect, and they generally did not do well in Zhang Zhou.

After all, they have been hiding in Tibet for many years. Although the education of the clansman is maintained as much as possible, the level cannot be very high. In addition, they are always facing the crisis of survival, and the force is also a bit weak.

Therefore, although I heard that the Jiadong Guipai, a descendant of the Anxi Army, is very famous, there have not been any famous ministers and generals, but there are many middle and low-level civilian and military generals like Xue Guizhong.

Zhang Xianyu was able to chat and laugh with Mrs. Pei, but he didn't dare to trust Xue Guizhong, so he quickly took two steps to catch Xue Guizhong who was about to salute to the ground.

"Third uncle, you can't do this. If you accept this gift from you, the sage will give you a discount on my nephew's legs."

With one sentence, Xue Guizhong smiled happily, and he also said with a smile while holding Zhang Xianyu's arm.

"Mr. Erlang has really grown up! Please follow me into the city, the Duke is waiting for you in the city."

The arrival of Zhang Xianyu made everyone in Liangzhou Mansion move.

Because everyone knew that the sage was going to Dunhuang to support the coffin of Duke Ling Cao Yijin and return home. They all thought that Zhang Xianyu was here to stand in front of him.

Therefore, there are all kinds of banquets, flattery, showing their own strength and even sending girls to their door.

Pei Yuan pretended not to see it, let alone stop it. It was not until Zhang Xianyu asked the little black bear Zhang Liechao to block the door, and after everyone disappeared and all gifts were not accepted, Pei Yuan decided to have a formal talk with Zhang Xianyu.

Because this proves that Zhang Xianyu is a worthy prince, otherwise, with Zhang Xianyu's indiscriminate status, if he doesn't know his position in his heart, it will easily cause problems.

His daughter, Mrs. Pei, was very happy. After his mother passed away four years ago, his father, Pei Yuan, remarried as his first wife.

Her stepmother was born in the Yin family of Shazhou, and she and Cai Guogong Yin Zhengqi (Yin Yaozi) are cousins ​​who have not been out of Wufu.

At the same time, Shao Tianzi's grandmother is her stepmother Yin's aunt and grandmother.

With her status here, although her stepmother has no conflict with her, she still looks down on her as the daughter of a country woman.

Mrs. Pei is full of heroism on the surface, but in fact it is to cover up her inner anxiety.

But recently, her stepmother's attitude towards her has suddenly turned 180 degrees. Needless to say, the only reason is that she is about to become a saint's daughter-in-law.

So before Zhang Xianyu arrived, Mrs. Pei had been dangling around Pei Yuan non-stop, and for the first time ever put on a skirt, flower tins, and blush.

Pei Yuan looked at his slim daughter and laughed dumbfoundedly for a moment.

"You can't stay in a female college! We've only met a few times, and I've lost my soul!"

Mrs. Pei was a little shy, and then her face returned to normal. Then she looked at Pei Yuan and asked, "Yeah, aren't you happy for your daughter? Why are you frowning?"

Pei Yuan was silent for a moment. He and Zhang Shengren had a similar heart, because they were both of the same kind. He, Pei Yuan, could be said to be an important minister of Yuan Cong, and he was also the first Central Plains scribe to seek refuge with Zhang Tie.

In the process of Zhang Yu's march into the Central Plains, he made great contributions, but he has been in the border town for many years, and he lacks face-to-face communication with the emperor.

In addition, although he is Yuan Cong, he is not Yuan Cong faction, and he is not Donggui faction. The Lianglan Liugu faction does not seem to be counted. At the same time, the civil servants and generals of the Central Plains do not regard Pei Yuan as a Central Plains person, but regard him as a native of the Central Plains. He is a Conglong hero from Liangzhou.

This caused Pei Yuan to become a lone minister despite his high position and authority, and there was an extreme lack of communication channels with Zhang Ting.

Distance creates beauty, but it also creates alienation.

However, Pei Yuan's guarding work in Liangzhou does not allow him to think about it and worry about it. Only by showing a tough stance can he suppress the Conglong heroes and relatives of the emperor who are everywhere in Hexi, so as to complete Zhang Ting's construction for him. Dahexi's mission.

Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have come to Zhang Ting to sue Pei Yuan openly and secretly. Although they were all suppressed by Zhang Ting, God knows how long the emperor can maintain such unlimited trust in him.

Pei Yuan also knew what Zhang Tie wanted him to do, and he also knew how dangerous this matter was.

In case the sage couldn't withstand the pressure from Buddhism and other parties, he, Pei Yuan, might take the lives of his whole family.

Its degree of danger can be said to be slightly less than that of Chao Cuo in history who cut down the vassal for Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Pei Yuan even thought of resigning from office and returning to his hometown to avoid disaster, but he was really unwilling and felt sorry for the emperor's trust.

It can be said that at this time, he still hesitated.

Zhang Xianyu arrived soon, and he and Mrs. Pei looked at each other, with sweet smiles on their faces.

When Pei Yuan saw it, he felt even worse. He coughed heavily, and Mrs. Pei disappeared immediately, while Zhang Xianyu hurriedly called him uncle and saluted Pei Yuan first.

There was no third person present in the conversation between the two, Zhang Xianyu was a little unfamiliar with Pei Yuan, and Pei Yuan made a big bet because he was still thinking about whether it was worth it or not for such a prince who was not favored and had no background, so the atmosphere was a little bit Awkward.

It wasn't until they talked about the future that the conversation between the two had the slightest meaning of being a son-in-law.

"Mr. Erlang is going to Talas in the future?" Pei Yuan asked in a low voice.

For him who is in the west of the river, he did not regard the middle of the river as the end of the world like the Central Plains people did. Although it is indeed far away, there are also advantages to being far away.

Others think that Zhang Xianyu's status is exceptionally noble, but Pei Yuan doesn't think so.

The sage is in the prime of life, and now he has six sons and nine daughters after he has been fighting. If the world is unified, who knows if he will have fifty children like Dachao Shunzong.

At that time, Zhang Xianyu, who has no background, will stay in Zhongtu, and it is hard to say how high his status will be.

But going to Hezhong is different. Under Xia Jun and barbarians, even the king of a big country with a population of one million can do it, and his own daughter has the ability to become a queen.

Of course Zhang Xianyu didn't know that Pei Yuan had thought so much in his heart, he replied in a low voice.

"Xiajun Yimin is the long-cherished wish of my lord. It is also the right thing for someone to come from the river and then go back to the river to expand the territory for my Great Zhou."

Pei Yuan nodded lightly, "In this case, you should marry the daughter of Suiye Guo's family, or the granddaughter of your half-grandfather Li Guoshou."

Zhang Xianyu looked at Pei Yuan, raised his glass to ask him for wine, and after the two drank a glass together, they said: "Xia Jun Yimin, who is the ruler and who is the minister, naturally you have to find out clearly.

The Suiye Guo family has already believed in the Great Qin Law, and those who are willing to return to the east have already returned to the east. Whether the remaining people can still be Yanhuang nobles depends on their performance.

As for my grandparents and uncles, I don't know the weather yet!I hope my nephew can save them who have gone astray. "

Just now when Pei Yuan said that he was asked to marry the daughter of the Guo family, Zhang Xianyu looked at the shadow behind the screen, and suddenly his heart became clear.

Pei Yuan was also surprised that at Zhang Xianyu's age, he had this understanding of the situation in Hezhong.

"But if you don't rely on the Suiye Guo family and the Taros Li family, how will you gain a foothold in the river?" Pei Yuan asked the question that interested him most.

Facing Pei Yuan, Zhang Xianyu pinched a few seals very skillfully. While pinching the seals, he also sang the scripture of explaining the source of disaster in the sky.

After finishing the chant, Zhang Xianyu said with a serious face: "The mountains and rivers are foreign, everything is not enough to rely on, only the Six Dharma School can be relied on.

A certain is of the blood of the Supreme Heaven, so can't he still be a Dharma King? "

Pei Yuan also looked squarely at the young man in front of him at this time. Being in Hexi, he certainly knew the power of the Six Dharma School, but he still shook his head.

"The Six Dharma Schools are not omnipotent, and they are contrary to my Chinese orthodoxy. If you completely rely on the Six Dharma Schools, then you will not be the king of Xia and barbarians, but you will turn Xia into a barbarian."

"Duke Baijun and Uncle Jiaocheng are organizing the order for the saints on the grassland, and the spread of the Six Dharma School on the grassland has been completed by dozens of great virtuous members of my Zhang family who sacrificed their lives and worked tirelessly to spread it.

The saint wants to set up 12 households on the grassland. If one of the ten thousand households, such as Naiman and Yili, can accompany him to the west, the Six Dharma School can be omnipotent. "

Pei Yuan had to admit that Zhang Shengren, son of Shaotian, was really a weirdo. Before that, there had never been an emperor in the Central Plains Dynasty whose Central Plains had not yet been unified, but the grasslands had almost been integrated.

And this is quite useful, because it is impossible to take Hezhong and even Persia by the Han alone, and it is necessary to rely on the armed herdsmen on the grassland.

Now Zhang Shengren uses the Six Dharma Schools as the link, 12 households as the rule, and the good life in Hezhong and even Persia as the bait, and indeed has the ability to drive the desert from north to south.

After thinking for a while, Pei Yuan reminded: "If this is the case, there is still a lack of help from the Han forces to make Xia Jun Yimin."

Zhang Xianyu stood up when he heard the words, and bowed to Pei Yuan to the ground, "Isn't the power of this Han land right on my brother?"

'Yah! ' Someone exclaimed softly, and then Mrs. Pei came out from behind the screen, looking at Pei Yuan with hope in her eyes.

elder brother?You might as well call your father-in-law.

Pei Yuan stood up, he had been scheming others all his life, but this time he was finally schemed by a kid.

Only three or four days after he came here, he took away his daughter's soul. Of course, he also used a little imagination, which also caused waves in Pei Yuan's heart.

What he regrets the most in his life is that he failed to go to Shazhou back then, and then followed Zhang Ting all the way west to make a name for himself in foreign lands. Now Zhang Xianyu indirectly gave him a chance to make up for his regret.

"Talos is too young, a certain family immediately wrote a memorial, and should seek the land of Dawan for Erlang."

Dawan is Tashkent, next to Ningyuan (Fergana Basin) controlled by Khotan. It is both dependent and rich, and can establish a big country.

Zhang Xianyu was overjoyed, and immediately bent down to bow down, but Pei Yuan didn't stop him, but accepted Zhang Xianyu's bow. From then on, their status as son-in-law was settled.

After the worship, Zhang Xianyu took out a letter from his bosom, "This is a letter from the sage to my brother."

Pei Yuan quickly took it with both hands and raised it to the top of his head, and then opened it. After reading a few words, he was stunned, looked at Zhang Xianyu and said, "How can a dog be worthy of Princess Changle?"

Originally, Zhang Qinan, the eldest daughter of Zhang Qian and Cao Yanxi, Princess Changle, Zhang Qinan, was to be rationed to Li Shengtian's grandson, but now neither of them mentioned it anymore.

Because although Zhang Ting called Cao Yuanxin Jinniang, they are actually cousins ​​who are related by blood. On the contrary, Zhang Ting and Li Shengtian are not related by blood.

If we don't talk about it from the Empress Dowager Ciyou, the mother of Zhang Yu, but from Cao Yuanxin, Li Shengtian's eldest son, Li Congde, is not Zhang Yu's cousin at all, but Zhang Yu's cousin, or a cousin related by blood.

Then Li Shengtian's grandson is Zhang Ting's grandnephew.

Marrying a daughter to a nephew and grandson is not a big problem in Hexi and Anxi, although there are several relationships.

Zhang Ting proposed a solution, that is, Khotan should marry a prince not born by Cao Yuanxin, but Cao Yuanxin directly rejected it.

She would rather not be married to the royal family than to marry the eldest daughter of the emperor among the six princes of Khotan who are not born of her.

Both Zhang Xianyu and Pei Yuan knew about this, and the marriage of Princess Changle these years has attracted the attention of the whole world.

Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote letters more than ten times in a row, and nearly [-] guan in gifts. He went around to find people who could talk, and wanted to marry Zhang Tie's eldest daughter, Princess Changle, for his eldest son Li Hongji.

Zhang Xianyu did not speak, because he knew that he could not speak at this time.

Sure enough, Pei Yuan continued to watch, and Zhang Shengren recalled the details of the two of them, and bluntly said that he was sorry for Pei Yuan, and let him stay in the frontier for a long time.

But the world is still uncertain, so he can only suffer from his confidant, and finally promises that Pei Yuan will definitely be at the forefront when drawing portraits of heroes the next day.

"The kindness of a saint is as high as the sky, and it is difficult for Pei Yuying to repay it in this life. I only wish to follow the saint forever!"

Pei Yuan cried loudly, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in the direction of Chang'an, prostrating himself to the ground.

The tool man for destroying Buddha is finally online.

. . . .

At almost the same time, a bloody incident had just ended in the Meng Shu Palace.

On the pretext of asking the Minister of Zhongshu, Meng Chang asked Pingzhangshi under the same door and Zhang Ye, the military governor of Suizhou Wuxin Army, to inquire about military affairs, and recalled Zhang Ye and his son Zhang Jizhao to the Chengdu government for an edict.

Zhang Ye and his son didn't know if it was a fake, so they returned to Chengdu Mansion carelessly. As soon as they entered the palace, they were hacked to death by warriors ordered by Meng Chang.

Then Meng Chang ordered the veteran Shi Kai to lead the forbidden army Zuo Kuangshengdu to Suizhou, killing all the followers of Zhang Ye and his son.

Before Zhou Shu started fighting, Meng Chang first killed thousands of people with ruthless means, showing a decisiveness that was completely different from ten years later.
