Dajin royal family

Chapter 630 Unification of the World ([-])
Taiyuan!

As the well-deserved center of the world now, after the people of Taiyuan learned that the state of Xu had been wiped out, King Zhao's status in their minds once again climbed to a peak.At the same time, all the officials in Taiyuan also considered whether it is time to consider persuading King Zhao to ascend the throne after King Zhao's class teacher returned to the court.

However, they didn't wait for the news that King Zhao's squadron would return to the court, because King Zhao sent back the news that he would stay in Luoyang for the time being and lead the troops of various ministries, preparing to go south to destroy Liang and Chen.

The mansion of Wenxi County.

Pei Ju brewed a cup of high-quality black tea, sat on the futon peacefully, and looked quietly at the peach tree outside the window.

The older he gets, the more he likes sweets, sweet black tea has become his daily essential food.

It's just that when drinking tea occasionally, he would think of what King Zhao had said to him.

The elderly eat less sweets.

Although I don't understand why King Zhao said that, he still restrains himself from drinking black tea.

In the lower position of Pei Ju, Pei Ning knelt on the ground with a dead face, his whole body was shaking, and his soul was trembling.

After the defeat of Xu State, the dirty collusion between him, Ma Zheng and Sang Lou was exposed by his grandfather.Even, Pei Ju told him that King Zhao knew about their conspiracy a long time ago, and at the same time borrowed their conspiracy to deceive Xu Guo in turn.

What he had been trying to hide all this time turned out to be exposed a long time ago. Only then did he realize that his grandfather was not teaching him by letting him study, but just using him.

Use his mouth to convey wrong news to Xu Guo.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end he was just a pawn, and he was still an exposed pawn.

"Speaking of which, the two peach trees in the yard were rewarded by the king to Yuanyan and Ningqing." Pei Ju said slowly: "It is rumored that the king's biological mother, Xiao Shi, liked peach trees the most, and left them to the king after she passed away. Go to a peach grove. After Chang'an was recovered, the king was not willing to toss the peach trees left in the old mansion, and found experienced tree farmers to plant new peach trees."

Pei Ning didn't understand the meaning of his grandfather's words, so he just lowered his head.

Compared with peach trees, he was most concerned about his grandfather, or what King Zhao would do with him.

He has committed a great crime!

Pei Ju continued: "It's a pity, I always thought that one day, the king will reward the Pei family with a third peach tree because of you. The king often said that it takes ten years to cultivate a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate people. It is easy to cultivate trees, but difficult to educate people. Now that I think about it, the king has already given me advice."

"Grandson, you are ashamed of your grandfather and your Pei family." Pei Ningwen bowed his head in shame.

"Tell me, how Sanglou caught you." Pei Ju said indifferently.There was no trace of anger on his face, as if he was just asking about an ordinary matter.

At this time, there was no need for Pei Ning to hide anything, and he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

It turned out that at the beginning he was tricked by Sang Lou to drink in Sang's restaurant, and he ended up getting very drunk.When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed. What's more, there was a mother and daughter lying next to him. The mother and daughter yelled that he had defiled them and they were going to the county government to sue him.

At that time, he was depressed because of the matter of Pei Ningqing and Pei Yuanyan, and he was even more afraid that he would lose his position in the Pei family after this incident broke out, so he chose to ask Sang Lou for help.

After going back and forth, he was forced to do many illegal things for Sanglou, and he got deeper and deeper, until finally he couldn't get out.

Pei Ningwen couldn't cry at the end, because he knew very well that his crimes were hard to be forgiven, not only with King Zhao, but also with his grandfather.

After Pei Ju finished listening, he was silent for a while.He picked up the teacup and took a sip, the heat permeated his face, making his expression look rather obscure.

"In the end, I neglected you."

Ok?
Pei Ningwen raised his head with tears on his face.

Pei Ju sighed: "At the beginning of the imperial court, I was busy consolidating Pei's position in the imperial court. Ning Qing and Yuan Yan were highly valued by the king. I am very happy. You have not been favored by the king, and I am very happy. Being obsessed with affairs of state and negligently disciplining you over time has led to such disasters."

"It's all useless for grandchildren."

Pei Ju waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, it's useless to talk about it. This time, you committed such a crime, and I can't justify you. However, the king is sympathetic to Mrs. Pei after all, and did not make this matter public. Everyone, save some face for Mrs. Pei."

Pei Ning said anxiously: "Grandfather, what should my grandson do in the future?"

"Go back to Wenxi, this is your best destination." Pei Ju sighed.

After all, he is his eldest grandson, so he still has compassion in his heart.At this point, beating and scolding is no longer necessary.

"But, Your Majesty, will he let me go?" Pei Ning said cautiously, he didn't believe that King Zhao would let him go like this.

Hearing this, Pei Ju smiled.

"The king asked me to cooperate with him and set up a trap to deceive Xu Guo. In fact, this is an opportunity for Mrs. Pei to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. The king has already promised me that as long as the matter is successful, he will not care about your life or death."

"Really?!" Pei Ning was surprised and delighted, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong.

"Really." Pei Ju said: "Go back and tidy up, go back to Wenxi as soon as possible, I think the king probably doesn't want to see you anymore."

"Grandson knows, let's go!"

Pei Ning went happily.

Seeing Pei Ningwen leave, Pei Ju knocked on the desk with a 'boom', a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

At this point, Pei Ningfan still doesn't have the heart to bear his own mistakes. He was really blind before to spare no effort to cultivate this trash.

There is really a big problem with Pei's family history, he has to go back and catch it himself, otherwise it won't take three generations, and the next generation will be finished.

Taking the crime and doing meritorious service can save Pei Ning's life, but it can't restore Pei's position in the king's heart.

"Oh, that's all, I'm getting old." Pei Ju showed a powerless and helpless look on his face.

He had to make a decision on some things.

At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, Mr. Xue Ting, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, please see me."

Xue Ting?

What is he doing here?
Pei Ju paused, and said, "Please meet him in the side room."

After half a stick of incense, the side room.

"Pei Gong, you came to bother me before you posted the greeting card, and you still look at Haihan." Xue Ting cupped his hands.

Pei Ju laughed and said: "It's okay, you and I are both from Hedong, such trivial matters are not worth mentioning. What is Master Xue doing here?"

Xue Ting lowered his voice and said: "Pei Gong, after Luoyang was recovered, several royal clan elders came to Taiyuan and secretly contacted the ministers of the ruling and opposition parties, intending to support the new king."

"Is there such a thing?" Pei Ju showed a 'surprised and angry' expression on his face.

Seeing this, Xue Ting said in astonishment: "Don't Mr. Pei know? Those elders have visited many ministers now, and even went to Jinyang Palace many times."

"To tell the truth, Mr. Xue, recently I have been happy with the news that the king has wiped out the rebel Yu Wenshu and regained Luoyang, so I didn't pay attention to these things for a while." Pei Ju said.

Does Pei Ju really not know?

Of course it is fake!
As one of the three leading families in the Shandong gentry, he, Zheng Shanyuan, and Wang Hong were among the first to receive a visit from the elder Zong.

Xue Ting murmured in his heart, he naturally didn't believe Pei Ju's words.On the surface, he still pretended not to know.

"Pei Gong, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Pei Ju sneered, "Master Xue, I don't need to talk about such things."

"What does Mr. Pei mean?"

Pei Ju said disdainfully: "A bunch of gossip clowns."

At that time, he met those elders, and when he heard the news that they were preparing to support a new monarch, he was almost not laughed at by them.

There are really such stupid people in the world.

It's really funny that they actually think King Zhao is a puppet.

"Pei Gong means to ignore it?"

"Hey, everyone has their own ideas, Mr. Xue doesn't have to care about what others do, just focus on himself." Pei Ju paused, and then said: "Wang Shangxiong is a generalist, and he is very clear about the careful thinking of the elders. .”

At this point, Pei Ju's words came to an abrupt end.

After all, Xue Ting is from the Bingzhou Department, so he can't let Xue Ting go the wrong way.

Hearing this, Xue Ting seemed to understand something, and suddenly took a deep breath.

"Pei Gong is saying that this is deliberately condoned by the king."

"Nine times out of ten that's the case." Pei Ju said indifferently: "A group of idiots have lived their lives like dogs. No wonder the late emperor looked down on them."

Xue Ting froze on the spot for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing this, Pei Ju frowned and said: "Master Xue, you don't agree with this matter?"

"Of course not!" Xue Ting quickly shook his head and said, "Why would I agree to this kind of thing? I just wondered why the king didn't care about the plots of the clan elders, and even let them contact the ministers at will. turn out to be."

"No matter what, just pretend you don't know about this matter. Don't act rashly. If you spoil the king's affairs, you may make the king unhappy." For the reason, let the housekeeper see off the guests.

The reason why Pei Ju pretended not to know was because he knew very well what King Zhao was planning, so he didn't dare to say it.

Otherwise, King Zhao will definitely blame him for being troublesome.
