First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 137 People are not frivolous

...

Pei Ji at the top had a panoramic view of this scene, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he shook his head with a smile, and drank a glass of hot wine to himself. As long as you drink this kind of wine slowly, even if you drink it all night, you won't be intoxicated. Before Gao Chong, he was half-drunk and half-awake, but simply drank heavily.

"Brother Xuanzhen", Gao Junya held up a glass of wine at this moment, shook his head and smiled, "The dog has no shape, I'm making you laugh."

Seeing this, Pei Ji's eyes flashed strangely, he hesitated for a moment, then raised his glass and said: "Brother Jun Ya is serious, people don't frivolously waste young people, Gao You's young spirit is full of youthful vigor, you are really envious of us.

Thinking back, we were young men in fresh clothes and angry horses, and time does not leave people behind." He shook his head deeply and sighed as he spoke, as if he was very sentimental.

Pei Ji and Gao Junya are the same age, they are about the same age, and they are also very personable, very elegant, and they call each other brothers, and there is a bit of sympathy for each other.

Hearing what Pei Ji said, Gao Junya understood, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother Xuanzhen still has the same demeanor, but it's not the same as before."

When dawn came, the all-night New Year's Eve banquet finally came to an end, and everyone left the Wude Hall in groups of three or four.

Pei Ji still lay on the seat crookedly, did not leave, Li Yuan frowned when he saw this, with a smile in his eyes: "Could it be that Xuanzhen still has energy?"

That look is hard to describe, if you have to use one word to describe it, it might be wretched.

Pei Ji hurriedly waved his hands when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, don't be joking, it's been a night of banquets, and you still need to take care of your health."

Hearing these words, Li Yuan was bored, with no one around, he simply lay down on the couch, kicked off his boots, "I still call my uncle De to hear clearly".

Pei Ji shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Majesty needs to change his mentality as soon as possible. Now that the situation in the world has deteriorated to this point, it may take a year or a few months, and Your Majesty will be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. He will no longer be the cautious Duke of Tang in Jinyang Palace." ".

"Be cautious..." Li Yuan nodded, and sighed quietly, "Maybe I'm used to being cautious over the years."

Pei Ji shook his head, not to continue this topic, it will take a process for a person who has been cautious for many years to become domineering and mighty now.

"Your Majesty, you should punish Gao Youzhi." Pei Ji directly stated his purpose of staying.

Li Yuan raised his brows, not surprised, instead he laughed and said: "That kid relied on his merits to act recklessly, and even used the excuse that he was young and crazy, I think that kid has more eyes than a beehive.

Dou Lukuan's kick was in vain. If the news spreads, it will only be said that Dou Lukuan relied on his family background to become an official without any merit, while Gao Youzhi performed meritorious deeds. He can be called a young hero, and he is full of high spirits , how unrestrained, will definitely be highly sought after, this kid has deep thoughts."

Pei Ji was not surprised that Li Yuan was able to see through Gao Chong's thoughts. As a close friend, he knew the "kind" Tang King best.

"Your Majesty is right about this, but there are other reasons why Gao Youzhi did this, or why Gao Junya acquiesced in his doing so," Pei Ji said straightly, "Why don't you think about it, why Yu Zhongmi What about targeting Gao Youzhi with Doulu Sengnu?"

Li Yuan was startled when he heard the words, frowned and thought about it, then asked tentatively: "Are you upset?"

"This is one of them." Pei Ji nodded and said, "Gao's county is far away in the Bohai Sea."

Pei Ji only said this sentence, but said nothing more.

Li Yuan understood in an instant, sat up slowly, and even sighed softly: "I think the Gao family father and son also understand, now his father and son are in a whirlpool, and they need to be cautious at all times."

Pei Ji also nodded silently, picked up a chopstick, and put it on the rim of the cup. The two ends swayed without falling, reaching a balance.

"I understand, Xuanzhen should go back to the mansion and rest first." Li Yuan got up immediately, paused after speaking, and said again: "That kid is really a good son-in-law, you can help me with him."

Pei Ji nodded in response, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

After bidding farewell to Li Shimin and others, Gao Chong sat on the horse, bowed his head without saying a word, and followed Gao Junya back home.

Once back at the mansion, Gao Junya looked at Gao Chong, "Are you still sober?"

Gao Chong nodded silently.

"That's good." Seeing this, Gao Junya turned and walked towards the study, "Follow me to write the flyer."

Gao Chong was full of doubts.

"Write well, write correctly", Gao Junya threw down a stack of gilded posts and instructed, and then she picked up a pen and began to write one by one.

At this time, New Year's greetings have become a custom. People with status usually have too many relatives and friends, and it is difficult to visit them one by one, so they write a post with some conventional auspicious words on it, and send servants to send them to each other. , as a New Year greeting.

And there will be a red bag on the gate of each house, with the word "Jiefu" written on it, which is used for flying stickers. Facts have proved that this method is not only fast and convenient, easy to be accepted by people, but also reflects social civilization.

Gao Chong probed over, and saw Gao Junya's beautiful flying white script, writing some gorgeous words for the New Year, which looked pleasing to the eye on the gilded paper.

Gao Chong was already dizzy and his hands were sore after he finished writing the thick stack of flyers.

Gao Junya looked at the post written by Gao Chong, and couldn't help nodding her head in praise. This is a majestic and dignified... high-style regular script, really amazing.

"Aye, you won't punish me?" Gao Chong ventured to test when he saw that Gao Junya was in a good mood.

"You think we didn't see it?" Gao Junya asked back after hearing the words.

"We?" Gao Chong keenly grasped the word, and then he understood, and said with a wry smile: "It really is a group of old foxes."

"But you pretended well." Gao Junya nodded in praise in a rare way, "Especially that kick, it's very good", which can make Gao Junya say the word "very good", which is enough to show his satisfaction .

"It's a pity that I didn't ask for punishment," Gao Chong said with a bitter face.

"The wind blows the eaves and tiles, and the rain hits the rafters. Recently, I have been a little drifting. When I returned to Beijing, the second son said that I was too ostentatious. At that time, I only mentioned it casually and didn't take it seriously.

But later when I was given a marriage and promoted, someone stopped my horse and asked to follow me. Only then did I know that my reputation had spread all over the capital. Drinking and making trouble, in order to punish, I didn't expect the king of Tang to... ".

Gao Chong shook his head and smiled and said, he never wanted to be famous in the world, but anyone with some brains knows that "low-key development" is the kingly way, just like Li Yuan, is the best example.

"The people in Kansai are too sensitive." The more he thought about it, the more he got angry, Gao Chong couldn't help muttering, "We didn't infringe on their interest, and everyone has pink eyes."

Hearing these words, Gao Junya's eyes lit up, feeling relieved, then grabbed the stack of flying stickers, got up and said: "You don't have to worry about these, there are more than just one or two of them in Kansai, and you Be mentally prepared, I believe that the new will will come soon.”

"The will?" Gao Chong was taken aback, "What is the purpose? Aye, please tell me."

However, Gao Junya paced away with her hands behind her back, showing her inscrutability.
