Dajin royal family

Chapter 228 The Storm Falls
"What a fool."

The three-story attic has no walls on all sides, and the wind blows freely between the two of them. The green smoke curling up in the alcove is filled with mosquito repellent fragrances, so there are no mosquitoes around the two of them to disturb them.

After Pei Yuanyan finished speaking, Pei Ju let him go back to rest.

"Did brother mean Yuan Yan?" Pei Yun chuckled lightly.

Pei Ju lightly clasped his sleeves, stretched out his hand to pick up the cool tea on the case table, and took a sip, "It's a reward for Prince Zhao to put him next to Bao Xi to handle government affairs. , Go to the military camp to train soldiers? Isn’t it stupid to be smart.”

As he said that, Pei Ju shook his head, with some helplessness on his face.

Being able to enter a county center to handle government affairs at this age is of great benefit to anyone's future.

"It is said to be a reward, but it is actually for us to see." Pei Yun said with emotion: "In ancient times, Gan Luo paid twelve visits, and Huo Guanjun reined in his horse and became a marquis at seventeen, how does the Duke of Langya compare to them now? "

It seems to be asking back, and it seems to be asking itself.

"I don't know why, but this son's ability, scheming, and intelligence are unmatched by anyone of his generation." Pei Ju said solemnly: "It's really amazing. He has such a calm temperament at this age. He lied to me." Everyone, cooperate with the emperor to keep everyone in the dark."

"We thought he was just a bait in the past, but we didn't expect him to be responsible for exterminating the mob. If that's the case, that's all. In order to purge the government soldiers and collect food and grass, the thunderbolts are really powerful. .”

Pei Ju said: "Brother, to be honest. When I was 16 years old, I was still studying with the master of the clan. Don't say that I want to thoroughly investigate a county. Even a county can't be done in just a few days. Check properly."

There is a gentle breeze, the bright moon hangs high, and there is silence all around.

Pei Yun also agreed with his elder brother's words, "What's even more surprising is that this son actually checked everything, quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. Before the Cui family could react, the entire situation in Qi County was already under his control. "

"Tsk tsk, this kind of scheming, whether it's Ning Jian or Ning Qing, is more than one step away."

Pei Ju stroked his beard, and said slowly: "I guess, the reason why he didn't immediately report to the court after thoroughly investigating Qi County, but detained them in Qi County, should be to wait for the Cui family to come to negotiate. Later, Cui Yunxiang also really 's gone."

"Besides, only Qi County was thoroughly investigated, and Donglai County was thoroughly investigated because of the mob, but the other counties and counties in Qingzhou did not move. It is amazing, and there is evidence to advance and retreat. This move can give the emperor a If you confess, you won't offend the Cui family."

"He's really well controlled at this time. If the Cui family intervenes before he succeeds in investigating Qi County, it's really difficult for him to deal with it. But after Cui Yunxiang passed by, Qi County has been investigated by him. Cui There is nothing the family can do, they can only retreat to the next best thing, tell him to stop, and don't check other places."

Pei Yun analyzed: "Based on this, he completed the emperor's mission, and sold face to the Cui family, and at the same time got the grain and grass of the big family in Qi County."

The more they talked, the more emotional the two brothers were.

Perhaps this matter itself is not difficult, but what really amazed them was the age of the prince.

"What is true is false, and what is false is true. This trick is really easy for His Majesty the Emperor to play." Pei Ju looked at the pagoda of Fahua Temple in Chang'an, dotted with stars and fireflies, full of tranquility.

"Yes, we were all deceived." Pei Yun smiled wryly, "Everyone thought that Prince Zhao was a bait, and then relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't expect this 'bait' to be real, and caught the Cui family by surprise."

Pei Ju shook his head, and said: "The Cui family is also stupid. The deposed King of Han is still imprisoned in Chang'an. How can he not know about Donglai County? He will definitely die if he protects a rebellious minister."

"It's all about being stupid. The most unexpected thing is that Cui Yunxiang, who was sent over to approach him, was even more stupid. Since Prince Zhao has already led troops into Donglai County, he shouldn't have followed, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by the inner guards on the spot. .”

If it is said that Cui Qi was caught alone, then this time the Cui family only lost one Cui Qi who had been abandoned in the first place, along with the disciples of Qi County.

But Cui Yunxiang was caught, that's not ordinary.Now that the emperor has all the stolen goods, how to say, how to say, and what to say, it is not the emperor's decision.

"Brother, do you think the Cui family will unite with the Zheng family to rescue Cui Yunxiang? After all, the marriage of the two families is imminent. Moreover, if Cui Yunxiang is not rescued and the car is abandoned to keep the handsome man, Cui Shili's position will be shaken." Pei Yun guessed.

"Hey." Pei Ju smiled darkly, "Don't think too much, brother. Zheng Shan wishes that the old fox would dare to regret his marriage if he dared to suffer from heatstroke in the imperial study. He would not have any psychological burden for such a shameless thing."

Pei Yun: "."

Just... quite suddenly, when the elder brother mentioned the heat stroke, he was a little embarrassed for a while, it should be because of the embarrassment for the elder brother.

Pei Ju didn't care, he didn't take his actions to heart at all, even though he did the same thing like Zheng Shanyuan.

"If the Zheng family doesn't help, the Cui family may have to go to Lu Huaishen or Gao Xun and the prince." Pei Yun said.

Pei Ju thought for a while, then shook his head, "Gao Xun, Lu Huaishen and His Majesty have been prevented from coming to Taiwan because of the canal issue, if they intervene in this matter, then as I said not long ago, the Minister of the Household Department should be replaced , so the two of them will not intervene."

"As for the prince, it's even more impossible. If he pleads with the Cui family, it's not saving the Cui family, but sending the Cui family to die. Think about it, the prince pleads for the people who colluded with the treason, and your majesty should be angry at that time." what kind."

"In this way, the Cui family should abandon Cui Shili and his son and save the family."

Pei Ju closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Not necessarily, Cui Shili still has a choice."

"What way?"

"Take the old road of Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu!"

At this moment, Pei Ju's voice was in vain.

"If Cui Shili really did that, it would be interesting to be on the court at the end of the month."

Pei Yun took a breath, "At that time, I'm afraid Gao Xun and others have not thought of it."

"Who knows, you and my brothers will just watch the show with all their heart." Pei Ju snorted, "The fruits of today are all caused by themselves. If they hadn't secretly supported the prince in private, how could we Shandong gentry stand idly by? , now the Cui family is a shit jar, whoever touches it will stink."

silence
Shandong Qiwang, who was doing well, is now dissociated from morality. First, the Wang family made a good claim to make a wrong bet, and then it was Lu's and Qinghe Cui's end.

"Brother, if Cui Shili really does that, not only will the matter of the canal follow His Majesty's wishes, but more importantly, the Shandong gentry will soon be disintegrated!" Pei Yun's face was extremely solemn.

Although it was not that he hadn't expected today's situation before, when it really came, he still felt desolate.The bandits in Guanzhong were all subdued by the emperor, and the scattered Shandong gentry were not the emperor's dolls, so they could play with them however they wanted?
Hearing this, Pei Ju moved his body and pulled his legs out, and his legs felt a little numb after kneeling all the time. "Brother, even if there is no matter about the Cui family this time, it is imperative to deal with the canal today, just like he has repeatedly suppressed the nobles in Guanzhong."

"As for the disintegration. This is inevitable. When the Lu family and the Cui family approached Gao Xun, the hearts of Shandong Qiwang were no longer together." Speaking of this, Pei Ju changed his voice, "However, I think this It's a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"Well, good thing!" Pei Ju affirmed.

Pei Yun thought for a while, and then smiled helplessly, "Brother is also saying that the nobles in Guanzhong can't beat His Majesty even if they hold a group, even if we join hands, it may not be possible. In this case, it is better to show weakness."

"It's just that your majesty will not let us go if you show weakness."

Pei Ju shook his head, and said melancholy: "How could you let it go? When the late emperor was in power, he had to compromise with us in order to stabilize the newly unified world. Now that the Jin family is prosperous and the people are safe, today the emperor will not compromise with us, especially if we still block his policies."

"so what should I do now?"

After a while, Pei Yun murmured.

Hearing this, Pei Ju's face was not so dignified, but a little relaxed, "It's not us who should be anxious."

Ok? !

Pei Yun seemed to understand something, he stroked his chin and thought quietly.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing that reveals the strangeness. Who would have done the assassination of King Zhao's son?" Pei Ju frowned.

Pei Yun temporarily gave up the previous thought, and said instead: "I don't think the Cui family did this. They don't need it at all, and they can't take revenge on Prince Zhao. Don't mention the matter of Qingzhou, it's just that Cui Qi was arrested. It's not that Prince Zhao's son made it all happen, they have no reason to touch the bad luck of Prince Zhao's mansion again at this time."

"What my brother thinks is also what I think."

Pei Ju said: "In this way, someone should take the opportunity to stir up trouble or take revenge on the Cui family."

Regarding the person who assassinated Jiang Chengxiao, Pei Ju and Pei Yun were in entanglement at the same time, because it was really difficult to guess who was behind the scenes.

I don't know how long it took before Pei Yun realized that his eldest brother had stood up and stood beside the wooden fence, and his sigh came slowly: "The storm is falling, what is hidden in it?"
