When Shen Huai was planning how to deal with the king of Cangwu County, Pei Yizheng stood respectfully in front of Pei Xi and told Pei Xi that the prince of Cangwu County had come to woo him again recently.

"The strength of the King of Cangwu County is only that." Pei Xi chuckled, "I think he can endure it for a long time, but it's just a big victory in the north, and he panicked so much that the six gods have no master." ”

Pei Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

Regarding the mentality of the king of Cangwu County, Pei Yi can understand some - it stands to reason that an adult prince, in addition to the title, must not have an official position. For example, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the official worships the guard captain Wai Shaoqing, and is the general of the right Jin Wuwei. Although the latter official position is clear to anyone with a discerning eye, it is that the emperor wants to take care of the prince of Qianjun, so that Shen Huai commands the left and right Jinwuwei, and it is not good to let the post of general of the right Jinwuwei be vacant, so he gave this position to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who does not care about anything. But no matter what, the real benefits are here, even if everyone knows that Youjin Wuwei is also under Shen Huai's control, but the name has been decided, so there is room for strategy, right?

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not a favored prince, and the fiefdoms and official positions he gets are just according to the prince's usual routine. However, as the oldest existing prince of the emperor, the king of Cangwu County is not only a county king, but also has no official position. Compared with people like himself who got what he didn't deserve, King Cangwu didn't get what he deserved, and he had to watch Princess Jiangdu, who was originally unqualified, get what he had been thinking about for a long time, and watch Princess Jiangdu's prestige get higher and higher, pressing on his head, how could he be willing?

If Pei Xi heard Pei Yi's heartfelt words, he would definitely laugh - what should be obtained and what should not be obtained? The matter of power is inherently the inhabited by those who are capable. Background, bloodline is a great advantage, but it is not absolute, mediocre people are in high positions, and there are many examples of puppets being reduced to puppets, even if they are smart people, they seem to do everything as they please, but there are many examples of becoming puppets of others sooner. In this grand stage, no one thought of it when they entered, what really decided was ability!

"Speaking of which, what did he promise you? Let me guess. Pei Xi glanced at Pei Yi, and seemed to be smiling, "Shangwan Hou?" Luoyang Order? ”

Pei Yi hurriedly said: "I don't have this intention!" ”

"You are much smarter than him, and you naturally know that a person like him can tear down the bridge before the river is crossed." Pei Xi said lightly, "Of course, you don't have to be presumptuous, Ah Weng's teachings have always been useful to smart people, and useless to fools and self-righteous guys." You know the measure, you know that this promise is nothing but a castle in the air, but some people will be deceived and would rather fall to pieces or ......"

He chuckled, "Take a big gamble." ”

Realizing that Pei Xi's words had included some people from the Pei family, Pei Yi, who understood that it was likely that something was likely to happen again and that he didn't know what was going on, wisely kept silent.

That's right, although he had a period of time when his eyes were red and his heart was hot, and when he went astray, in the end, he was still a concubine, and he had developed a small cautious habit over the years, and he did not follow King Wei to the dark, but secretly took refuge in his nephew with a good sense of current affairs, and after seeing Pei Xi's ability, he lost his ambition back then.

Because of this, the richer the promise given to him by the king of Cangwu, the more cautious he became, and after he sobered up, he could feel the madness of the king of Cangwu - only a gambler with red eyes would have such a mentality.

Either you die or I die.

Pei Xi didn't say much, he glanced at his uncle, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and after a while, he asked, "Jiangnan, Shuzhong, Qingxu, Guanzhong, where do you want to go?" ”

"Your Excellency—"

"Don't shirk, where you want to go, just say it." Pei Xi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, "I hate it when others fight with me, and it has not been easy for you all these years." They have been pressing your career, but you can resist the solicitation of the king of Cangwu County and say this to me. I'm not an unreasonable person, and I have an account in my heart. What if Luoyang doesn't treat you as a human being? As long as you follow me, I can make you live your life! ”

Pei Yi looked at his young nephew fixedly, and took a deep breath: "I want to go, Jiangnan." "Although Chang'an is good, it is not something he is willing to stay for a long time.

Background is not something he can choose, and it is not his fault that he is a concubine, why should he not be motivated, why should he be suppressed, bullied, and despised?

Since you can't fight it, you can only choose to stay away and go to the rich and beautiful Jiangnan. Whether it's a county guard, don't drive. If you still have the desire to confront the world when you are young, with the passage of time, you will only have the desire for stability and dignity.

"Okay."

Pei Xi agreed.

As long as he says he can do it, then he will definitely be able to do it, this is Pei Xi!

Pei Yi forcibly withstood the excitement in his heart and retreated, left from the secret passage, and Pei Xuan, a henchman who had followed Pei Xi since he was a child, came in from the door and asked respectfully: "Lord Lang, ...... this secret passage?"

"Send someone to guard it, don't seal it for the time being." Pei Xi said lightly, "Prepare a car for me, I'm going to Weituo Mansion." ”

Wei Tuo is in a high position, and there are countless people who want to see him, even if he is a high-ranking official and a eunuch, it is not a courtesy if he does not have a post, and he may not be able to see Wei Tuo himself if he hands over the post, but Pei Xi doesn't care about this. If he wants to see Wei Tuo, he will drive directly, just by virtue of his identity, who dares to stop him?

What's more, Wei Tuo won't stop them, because they are all smart people.

It's also strange to say that after Pei Xi went to the Wei Mansion, he was not in a hurry. He has always been anti-guest-oriented, flamboyant and wanton, after greetings, when he was interested, he played against Wei Tuo.

The chess paths of the two are completely different - Pei Xi is domineering, killing every step, but he has hidden hands everywhere, seemingly rampage, indomitable, but in fact, he has no last resort; Wei Tuo is on the defensive, not leaking, and introverted. Playing against him, especially a master of chess, will never lose his armor, either a tie or a loss of one or two words, so that you feel that you have a chance to beat him next time. However, this next time will only be far away.

Because of this, halfway through the chess game, Pei Xi threw the piece directly and said very uncereminently: "This is boring, don't play." ”

This kind of almost "cheating" approach is done by him, but it is a free and easy manner.

Wei Tuo knew that Pei Xi was proud by nature and would not allow anyone to let him in any way, but Wei Tuo's chess style has always been like this, even if the two are evenly matched, if they are not so high and decisive as playing against others, Wei Tuo will also subconsciously think of the pattern of falling after the chess game, leaving always three points of leeway. Pei Xi saw this, and the more he played, the more unhappy he became, and after throwing the chess pieces, he seemed to say very casually: "The army is triumphant, and the scenery is infinite!" ”

"The title of official is what countless people want in their lives." Wei Tuo said calmly, "The credit that I have exchanged for my life is naturally envious. ”

"You're right, now that I have an official, I'm just a knight. I said, Wei Yuanqi, what do you think I will do as this Shangwan Hou? ”

He said this sentence lightly, as if he was just talking about a piece of paper, the belonging of a pen, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were leisurely, but Wei Tuo could taste the killing intent under this relaxed freehand.

Obviously, in the competition for the storage position, the opinions of the Pei family branch have been greatly divided.

No, if it's just a disagreement, it's not enough to provoke Pei Xi to this point. Presumably there is something moving in the Pei family, but Pei Jin is still alive, and the situation may not be uncontrollable......

You can control zhìgui can control zhì, but it may not happen that big things will happen.

In an instant, Wei Tuo already understood Pei Xi's intentions, so his complexion remained unchanged, his tone was not hurried, and he did not have half a wave: "This is Master Pei's family matter, and Wei has no room for beak." ”

"You're right, it's a family matter."

It's just that it's not just the Pei family's family affairs, but the entire royal family's family affairs.

Thinking of who he had analyzed from the movements in Chang'an and Luoyang, Pei Xi smiled coldly - he didn't look down on the title of Marquis of Shangwan, and he didn't have the slightest idea, but someone was aggressive.

If you're so desperate to get this, I'm going to destroy it! I can't get it, but I'm going to destroy it in front of you!

Father-son relationship, brotherhood? It's ridiculous!

is not even a son, so he has been afraid and suppressed his younger brother since he was a child; A person will shout "evil animals" and "evil animals" all day long, saying that he is proud, but in fact? He is so good that his father is bleak, and now even his father's career is blocked by him, and he has not repaid his father at all. In Pei Li's eyes, not suing him for "disobedience" is already a great kindness, isn't it?

"This business is big, and there are some troubles." Pei Xi was bored, took a sip of tea, and seemed to be smiling, "Master Wei must be careful." ”

What Pei Xi said, Wei Tuo naturally knew it in his heart - the metaphor aside, although the Wei family's population is simple, it is not annoying. The key is that the eldest son left by the original Liao family, whether in appearance or qualifications, is like a mother.

It's just a matter of being born with mediocrity, but if you put on your stepmother, even if your stepmother has no bad intentions, the rumors of "killing" should not be underestimated.

Seeing Wei Tuo's expression, Pei Xi smiled and said: "Look at what I say a lot, some small things, of course Master Wei has a solution." "Even if it doesn't, so what? Does Wei Tuo care about this little thing?

Pei Xi knows too well who Wei Tuo is, this Zaifu, who is like a Nine Heavens Immortal, has already given all his love to Cangsheng Dawn, as for the family...... In the final analysis, it only makes him seem "normal", and it doesn't really enter his heart. Therefore, Pei Xi had no interest in continuing to talk, and only said: "It's not early, don't send me, I'll go back myself." ”

Having said that, Wei Tuo still gave him a ride, and then went back to the study, on the unfinished chess game, the sunspots surrounded by white characters were just connected into a "extinguish" word!

Wei Tuo's sleeves flicked lightly, covering the chess game.

Thunder rang out from the sky.

God, it's going to change.
