Chapter 299

Thinking of this, Wang Hong suddenly snorted.

He felt that the elders and children of the wealthy clan in the south of the Yangtze River, the Chen Dynasty, and Xiao Liang were too ignorant.

Today, the emphasis on the south has surpassed that of the Guanzhong nobles and their Shandong gentry, and even the current Central Plains gentry are not as good.

Conquering Goguryeo, mobilized a large number of soldiers from Guanzhong to die in Liaodong, and conscripted hundreds of thousands of Hebei and Shandong civilian husbands.

The excavation of the Grand Canal caused heavy casualties in Hebei and Shandong.

But what about Jiangnan?
Nothing, in this turbulent moment of the world, there is a peaceful area, but I didn't expect those ambitious people who didn't want to repay their favor and just plotted against them secretly.

"Not a son of man!" Wang Hong snorted coldly.

The reason why the Shandong gentry came to this point was all because of the suppression of the emperor's fear, but the southern aristocratic family was never suppressed, and even once received support from the emperor.

Under such circumstances, they dared to rebel.

Pei Ju chuckled, and was not surprised by Wang Hong's attitude. When he heard the news, he also felt that the wealthy families in the south were going too far.

But after thinking about it, it makes sense.

"Brother Wang, don't be surprised. The century-old split cannot be healed overnight. People in the south of the Yangtze River love internal fighting the most. Back then, the gentry in Jiangzuo supported Chen Baxian to establish the Chen Dynasty, and the wealthy clan in Jingzhou supported Xiao Guan in establishing the Liang Dynasty. Didn't the natives also support Liu Song?"

Speaking of this, Pei Ju sneered and said: "The mere southern country is divided into fragments and murdered by the same family. Even though we in the north were beaten to pieces by the Rouran people, we gritted our teeth and survived. We supported the Jiang family to unify the world. Don't worry about the land in the south of the Yangtze River." !"

Wang Hong quite agrees with this.

"Then when should we do it?" Wang Yi asked.

Pei Yun suggested: "I don't think you can be in a hurry. Now His Majesty has just left King Wudu in the court. If we act too hastily, I'm afraid it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion. It should take a while."

"Secondly, didn't elder brother say that Li Yuan can't get things done for the time being, so let's give him some time."

The other three all nodded.

The serious problem was solved, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Wang Yi smiled and said: "Brother Pei, I heard that Ning Qing is now working with King Wudu, and he should have benefited a lot."

Wang Hong squinted his eyes, watching Pei Ju's reaction calmly.

In terms of supporting Jiang Chengxiao, their Wang family should actually be the last one to enter the game among the three big families in Shandong.

The Zheng family will not talk about it, that is his grandson, who gets the moon first if he is close to the water.

But the Pei family, who have never had any connection with Zhao Wang's mansion, actually began to take a fancy to Jiang Chengxiao a few years ago.

Before sending Pei Ningqing away, Pei Yuanyan had already followed Jiang Chengxiao.

This had to make Wang Hong admit that Pei Ju's vision was really vicious.

When Wang Yi said such words, how could Pei Ju not know his hidden meaning.

Isn't it because he is jealous that his Pei family now has two young children following Wudu Wang.

"What's the matter? You don't know the temper of King Wudu. If you have no talent, King Wudu won't give you any face. Do you know about Zheng Ruyi?"

Pei Ju made a haha ​​at first, and then asked them again.

Wang Yi shook his head, he didn't know what happened to the younger generation of the Zheng family.

Pei Ju smiled and explained some of the previous things to him. Of course, it was unavoidable to add embellishments. In summary, he is a person without talent, and King Wudu will not accept him just because he is a child of his family.

Wang Hongdao: "This is what it should be. It's a common thing to choose talents. I study the Wang clan in Taiyuan, and there are many talented people. I think the King of Wudu will be satisfied."

Pei Yun secretly rolled his eyes, this Wang family is really shameless, if you think it's Zicai, then the King of Wudu thinks it's Zicai.

"By the way, King Wudu, do we need to inform him to avoid him." Wang Yi said.

Pei Ju said: "No need, King Wudu is not an impulsive person who won't make dangerous moves. Besides, there must be someone who is more anxious than you."

This person is naturally Zheng Shanyuan.

Ever since he learned of the prophecy, he immediately thought of the consequences now, but because of the court affairs, he could only wait for a while before going to the door to find Jiang Chengxiao in person.

In fact, Zheng Shanyuan was very dissatisfied. When something like this happened, Jiang Chengxiao didn't discuss it with him. Did he not trust him?
"Grandfather, try this chrysanthemum tea, it's a new tea from Chuncha Shop, it's not available in the market."

Jiang Chengxiao and Zheng Shanyuan sat on their knees facing each other, green smoke wafted from the table in the middle, and a scent of tea penetrated into Zheng Shanyuan's nose.

"You are leisurely, the old man worried you for nothing."

He was complaining, but his hands were honest, and he took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea from the cup.

Jiang Chengxiao could roughly guess the reason why Zheng Shan wanted to find him. It was nothing more than the prophecy, so he came to persuade him not to act rashly.

"Grandfather, this chrysanthemum tea is for calming the heart, is it okay to drink?"

Zheng Shanyuan let out a 'huh', put down the teacup, and said, "You don't have to worry about the prophecy, we'll take care of it for you. During this time, you just follow Pei Ju to look around in the Ministry of Rites."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao frowned, and calmly stretched out his hand to refill another glass for Zheng Shanyuan.

"What does my grandfather mean by that?"

"We all feel that it is not suitable for you to go out at this time. It is a good choice to stay in the court. But you don't have to worry. After a while, we will find a way to send you to Taiyuan."

Taiyuan!

It's Taiyuan again!

Since the Zheng family, Pei family, and Wang family expressed their support, they have mentioned Taiyuan countless times.

Slowly clenching the hands tucked into the sleeves, Jiang Chengxiao showed 'grateful' expression on his face.

"Let grandpa and all the adults worry about it."

Zheng Shanyuan was very satisfied with his grandson's attitude, and said indifferently: "It's just a few trivial matters, you just need to do your own thing well, and we will handle the rest."

After a pause, Zheng Shanyuan showed a look of hesitation, and immediately said: "Ruyi is also working in the Ministry of Rites now, look."

Zheng Ruyi made a mistake a few years ago, Jiang Chengxiao rejected him, and the opportunity that originally belonged to Zheng Ruyi became Zheng Ruxin's.

Now that Zheng Ruxin is doing well under Jiang Chengxiao's hands, Zheng Shanyuan is naturally very uncomfortable seeing it, after all Ruyi is the son-in-law.

Jiang Chengxiao could understand Zheng Shanyuan's meaning. At that time, he was indeed very angry with Zheng Ruyi's actions, but time has changed, and now he has to divide some things into two sides.

"Actually, I also miss Ruyi. Last time I went to Jiangnan, I planned to take Ruyi with me, so he could help me on the way, but Ning Qing's talent is really outstanding, and Ruyi is not in Luoyang, so I borrowed it from Mr. Pei." Ning Qing."

Jiang Chengxiao said emotionally: "Ruyi is my cousin after all, there is no unsolvable conflict, grandpa, don't worry."

"So good."

Zheng Shanyuan smiled and nodded.

Although he was very unhappy with the word Pei Ningqing, he didn't say it directly, but reminded him tactfully: "Ruyi is his own after all, you can trust him with the task, he will not let you down."

"Naturally, grandpa can rest assured." Jiang Chengxiao agreed without hesitation.

Then the two chatted for a while about the situation in the world.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Shanyuan got up and left.

Before leaving, he took two catties of chrysanthemum tea with Jiang Chengxiao.

After sending Zheng Shanyuan away, Jiang Chengxiao returned to the inner study without saying a word.

"What happened in Taiyuan?" Jiang Chengxiao asked Kuai Siyu with cold eyes.

With the expansion of the intelligence network, Jiang Chengxiao also began to divide some tasks and hand them over to others, otherwise they would all be on Ji Yun, and sooner or later there would be trouble due to negligence.

Kuai Siyu was in charge of Bingzhou.

Just now Zheng Shanyuan swore that there would be a way to transfer him to Taiyuan, and he guessed that Taiyuan would never be quiet.

Kuai Siyu clasped his hands and said, "My lord, there is news from over there that the Taihang horse bandits have been secretly recruited in large numbers. Behind the scenes is Yu Binghong, the county magistrate of Qi County."

Jiang Chengxiao understood, what is Yu Binghong's identity?
No wonder Zheng Shanyuan can guarantee to send him to Taiyuan.

But one thing is very strange, why did Yu Binghong raise troops in Taiyuan, wouldn't it be good for him to return to Guanzhong?
Touching his chin, Jiang Chengxiao walked back and forth in the study.

Pei Ju and the others must have found out about this, but they didn't tell the emperor. They wanted to wait for an appropriate time to release him, and then take advantage of this to transfer him to Taiyuan to suppress the bandits.

But he couldn't understand, what's the point of the Yu family raising troops in Taiyuan?
If they can't make it to Guanzhong, they are destined to fail.
