Dajin royal family

Chapter 298

Although the matter of prophecy was mentioned by the emperor in a single edict, in the hearts of wise people, it is not like this.

Pei Ju and the others naturally knew what Jiang Chengxiao could figure out.

Wenxi County Government.

Pei Ju has already boiled a pot of good tea.

He knew that someone would come to look for him in a while, and yesterday Wang Hong's invitation had been delivered to Pei's residence.

"Brother doesn't seem worried."

Pei Yun sat on one side kneeling, the old god took the tea comfortably and took a sip.

Even though he drank tea countless times, every time he drank it, Pei Yun still felt that this 'pure tea' was too much for his taste.

Now you can make him not eat, but it is impossible not to drink tea.

After hearing Pei Yun's words, Pei Ju smiled, squinted his eyes and said, "Isn't it the same for my brother?"

The corner of Pei Yun's mouth curled up, and he said: "Although the prophecy made King Wudu trapped in Luoyang, it is not a bad thing. If you come out too early, it will only be counterproductive. The bandits in Guanzhong are still dormant. This is not the time to come out." good time."

"Young brother sees clearly."

Pei Ju said: "This matter seems to be aimed at King Zhao and King Wudu, but it is actually aimed at His Majesty."

Pei Yun said: "Yes, the fundamental purpose of this move is to drive away the trust between His Majesty and King Zhao and his son. Judging from the current situation, King Zhao and King Wudu have the greatest influence in the army."

"This move by the black hands behind the scenes is to prevent King Zhao and King Wudu from leading the army."

Speaking of this conclusion, both Pei Ju and Pei Yun seemed to understand clearly.

Pei Ju continued: "The ones who are most afraid of King Zhao and King Wudu are now."

"Guanzhong nobles!" Pei Yun said.

Pei Ju nodded, and said with emotion: "It seems that the nobles in Guanzhong have finally started to move. Taking advantage of the instability in Shandong and Hebei, they can't help it."

"Brother, who do you think will release the prophecy?" Pei Yun asked.

Pei Ju thought for a while and said, "It should be that old fox Duguzheng."

"Why?"

Speaking of this, Pei Ju smiled, and said: "My dear brother, you don't know. There is news from Qixian County, Taiyuan. Recently, the Yu family has been secretly in contact with the Wei family's caravan. They have secretly recruited county soldiers to fight against the Taihang horse bandits."

"So the Wei family's attention should now be on the Yu family. What's more, when Wei Hong left the court, their control here has weakened. Only Duguzheng has this ability."

Pei Yun said: "Why can't it be the Dou family?"

"It shouldn't be them." Pei Ju shook his head. "A few days ago, I accidentally found a memorial from Longxi in the imperial court, which secretly reported that Li Yuan secretly trained the servants and recruited the township brave militia to fight against the bandits."

Hearing this, Pei Yun was shocked.

"Brother, what you mean is that the nobles in Guanzhong have made two preparations, one is Yu Binghong from Taiyuan, and the other is Li Yuan from Longxi?"

The Wei family secretly contacted the Yu family, Li Yuan is the son-in-law of the Dou family, so this is not a two-handed preparation.

Pei Ju nodded, "You're right. Now I even suspect that the bandits in Qingzhou have something to do with them. Does the brother Li Fazhu who rebelled in Beihai County know his real name?"

"what?"

Pei Ju sneered, and said: "This person's real name is Li Pu. He was selected as a scholar in the second year of Hongye. He is from Longxi. At that time, I passed his detailed rules, but I didn't approve Zhu Hong."

Pei Yun gasped, "These bandits are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

After thinking about it carefully, Pei Yun only felt cold sweat pouring down his face. He never expected that Qingzhou, where the rebel forces are the hottest now, would actually have the figure of the relevant nobleman behind him.

"Comparatively speaking, we are really belated." Pei Yun smiled wryly.

Pei Ju smiled slyly, "Since when did we realize it later?"

Hearing this, Pei Yun seemed to understand something, and immediately said distressed: "But because of the prophecy, we have no choice but to send King Wudu to Taiyuan."

Zhao Dawang, Qing Xiaowang, the deer walked into the northern border, and the Jin Dynasty was a sign of prosperity.

A simple ballad trapped Wudu King to death in Luoyang.

"That's not necessarily true." Pei Ju shook his head.

"Brother, what can I do?"

"Didn't I say that Taiyuan belongs to home?"

Hearing this, Pei Yun understood.

"However, the Wang family still needs to come forward for this matter. After all, Qi County is in Taiyuan County, and they are familiar with it." Pei Ju said.

The two brothers are smart people, and some things are too close to the point.

At this time, Wang Hong came with Wang Yi.

After the two parties sat down, Wang Hong took the lead and said, "Brother Pei, what should we do now that the incident happened suddenly?"

Pei Ju said: "I don't think it happened suddenly."

Ok?
As soon as this remark came out, several people were a little confused.

"What's the meaning of Brother Pei's words?" Wang Yi asked hastily.

Pei Ju explained: "Have you forgotten, when His Majesty recalled King Wudu back to Luoyang, he was actually worried about him. It's just that the prophecy exacerbated the suspicion in His Majesty's heart."

"At that time, we also tried to send King Wudu to Taiyuan, and now we are still trying to send him to Taiyuan. Tell me, why is this sudden?"

Wang Yi smiled wryly and said, "But this is different. Now His Majesty is so suspicious that he is even allowed to serve as Minister of Rituals in the court. Doesn't this clearly mean that he will be kept in the court?"

"Isn't that good?" Pei Ju asked suddenly.

Wang Hong frowned, thinking about Pei Ju's words.

At this time, Pei Ju took out two memorials from his sleeve and handed them to Wang Hong and Wang Yi respectively.

"One is from the magistrate of Qixian County, and the other is from the county magistrate of Bingxian County. Both of them said one thing. The Yu family and the Li family are recruiting the militia to fight against the bandits. What can the two find out from this? ?"

Wang Hong put down the memorial, and said calmly: "Secretly recruiting soldiers privately, with ulterior motives!"

Pei Ju smiled, this is why he thinks it is the best choice for Jiang Chengxiao to stay in the court for the time being.

"Brother Pei means to send King Wudu to Taiyuan too early, so that people will secretly miss him." Wang Yi also reacted.

Pei Ju nodded, took a sip of the tea cup.

"That's right, since they can't bear it anymore, let's add fire to them, and let's get out of the fire!"

"Which side to move first?" Wang Hong asked.

Pei Ju's eyes sparkled brightly, "Taiyuan!"

"Why?"

Pei Ju said: "Li Yuan's savings are still short, and he can't make things happen for the time being. We must distract the Yu family and provide Li Yuan with opportunities so that he can take Guanzhong smoothly."

"Once Guanzhong falls, His Majesty will never tolerate it." Wang Hongdao: "At that time, King Wudu will be able to move."

Pei Yun hesitated and said: "But, what if Li Yuan can't resist the imperial court's army?"

Hearing this, Wang Hong chuckled, and calmly took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Yun.

"This was delivered to the Political Affairs Hall last night. I copied a copy by hand. The thirty thousand Zuo Xiaowei led by Yu Wenhuaji were wiped out in Qingzhou."

As soon as the words fell, the two brothers Pei Ju looked at each other and understood clearly.

There are indeed some people behind Qingzhou.

Pei Ju put down the memorial and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is really fond of Yu Wenshu. He actually handed over Zuo Xiaowei's elite to Yu Wenhua and this cockfighting dog. How can he be undefeated?"

Wang Yi said: "Now that Qingzhou has been defeated, will His Majesty send the King of Wudu to suppress the bandits?"

Pei Yun shook his head and said: "Probably not, His Majesty just let King Wudu enter the court, and he will not change the order overnight."

Wang Hongdao: "Once the bandits in Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou break out at the same time, at that time, His Majesty will have to consider reactivating Wudu King. That is our chance."

"Maybe we need to add Jiangnan," Pei Ju added.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Hong and the two brothers were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what they meant.

Immediately, Pei Ju explained: "The King of Wudu went south to investigate the flood, both of you remember."

"What's the matter, is there any mystery in it?" Wang Hong asked.

Pei Ju said: "Of course there is. I learned from the censor Yu Zheng a few days ago that after the flood broke out in Jiangnan, two mysterious forces appeared, the 'Nanlianghui' and the 'Nanchenhui' .”

When these two names came out of Pei Ju's mouth, Wang Hong subconsciously thought of Nan Chen and Xiao Liang.

"Could it be."

Pei Ju nodded.

With Pei Ju's affirmation, Wang Hong fell into silence.

He thought that only the nobles in Guanzhong and their Shandong gentry were intervening, but he didn't expect Jiangnan to do it too.

This is really unexpected.

Because Jiangnan has no reason to rebel.

Whether they are the Shandong gentry or the Guanzhong nobles, they are all forced to do nothing, but what is the reason for the Jiangnan rebellion?
Restoration?
