Chapter 348: Another Big Black Cauldron
The important things that Xiao Meiniang said were all excuses, mainly to tell Liu Wen that Pei Ju's identity was different, so it was better not to offend easily.
Liu Wen suddenly thought of the main quest in the Jingluo Pass.
The Pei clan in Hedong is also one of the forces in Guanzhong.
He immediately nodded and instructed the servant: "Please meet you in the front hall of the inner history." ”
"Yes."
Liu Wen said goodbye to his mother and came to the front hall.
When Pei Ju saw Liu Wen, he was slightly distracted.
Yang Guang's recent behavior has made Pei Ju realize that the surface scenery of Dasui is actually full of holes, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time.
As a child of a family, he naturally would not put his eggs in one basket.
Therefore, secretly observe the ministers of the DPRK and China to see who has the possibility of replacing the Great Sui.
Soon, Pei Ju noticed the difference between Liu Wen, so he carefully studied Liu Wen's past, and even sent someone to Baozhong to inquire carefully about Liu Wen's situation before he entered Beijing.
Only then did I find out that Liu Wen was not a big man who didn't know anything and only knew how to solve problems by force.
On the contrary, he took over the family business before he was a minor, did business with merchants from all over the world, and in just a few years, he accumulated a lot of wealth.
This kind of ability, among the major families, is also extremely outstanding.
But after Liu Wen entered Beijing, he completely changed his normal.
Whether it is the minister of the DPRK and the central government, or the helmsman of all forces, when Liu Wen is mentioned, he often thinks of his martial arts that are proud of the world.
Over time, many people have ignored that Liu Wen is a little business prodigy, and in everyone's minds, he seems to be a brainless straw bag in addition to martial arts.
Even sometimes Yang Guang talked to Pei Ju about Liu Wen, and sighed because of Liu Wen's lack of strategy.
But I don't want to think about it, Fan Li and Lu Buwei are both business wizards, and their strategies are not bad.
Even a smart person like Yang Guang, who is good at figuring out people's hearts, was deceived by Liu Wen, which shows how powerful this young man is!
Flashing these thoughts, Pei Ju hurriedly sorted out his mood and saluted respectfully: "Pei Ju greets King Song Chitose!" His movements were meticulous, and he did not show any contempt for Liu Wen just because he was young.
Seeing her attitude, Liu Wen was not easy to put on a score, and said with a pleasant smile: "Pei Shilang is exempt, please take a seat." After speaking, the maid brought fragrant tea and placed it on the small table next to the two. After the maid left, Liu Wen asked, "Pei Shilang came to visit this time, I don't know what advice you have?" ”
Pei Ju didn't dare to say again: "The lower officials are stupid, how can they be worthy of preaching in front of King Song?" This visit to the King of Song was for the purpose of digging a canal. ”
Liu Wen felt that things were not so simple, but it was not easy to ask straight to the point, so he followed his words and asked, "Why, Pei Shilang also doesn't agree to build the canal?" ”
"Yes." Pei Ju replied in a low voice.
Then he sighed with a worried face: "Although in the past two years, the emperor has expanded his territory and won victories one after another, creating great achievements that shook the past and the present. But who Jiangnan is in now, Chitose knows better than anyone else. It can be said that the Great Sui has always supported two major wars that can go down in history with half of its national strength. Coupled with the construction of the new capital Luoyang, the treasury is already empty...... If the Grand Canal is excavated again, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos! ”
When Pei Ju said these words, he secretly observed Liu Wen's reaction.
As a refined egoist, Pei Ju naturally does not care about the life and death of the people in the world.
He said this, firstly, he wanted to test Yang Guang's attitude through Liu Wen, and secondly, he also wanted to see how Liu Wen's quality was.
Under Pei Ju's secretly scrutinizing gaze, Liu Wen was slightly silent and sighed: "Although King Gu also knows that what Pei Shilang said makes sense, King Gu can't understand these things about governing the country. Alas! Even if you want to talk to the emperor, it will have the opposite effect. ”
Pei Ju looked at Liu Wen's sighing expression on his face, and said secretly: "Amazing! If I hadn't known about him in advance, I would have been deceived by these few words alone! With such a deep city at a young age, Liu Wen's future is limitless! ’
Of course, at this moment, in Pei Ju's heart, he only felt that Liu Wen was likely to follow the old path of Yang Jian's usurpation.
didn't know that Liu Wen thought more.
He even wants to destroy the foundation of the family's monopoly on local power!
Following Liu Wen's words, Pei Ju pretended to be worried about the country and the people: "The matter of digging the Grand Canal is not a foregone conclusion, as long as King Song expresses his thoughts, the emperor will seriously consider it." ”
ended this topic and said the real purpose of his coming: "King Song, you are noble and bright, do not form a party with courtiers, and you are indeed a model for us. However, if you are too cautious to understand the affairs of Jingzhong, I am afraid that over time, you will cause trouble. ”
What do you mean?
Liu Wen was puzzled to hear it.
But knowing that the other party will definitely not be untargeted.
Hurriedly said: "Pei Shilang, please speak clearly." ”
Pei Ju secretly praised: It's thorough at one point, it's really smart!
At the same time, he said: "King Song doesn't know anything. When you followed Your Majesty on the expedition, Zhang Dabin secretly befriended courtiers under your banner, and even said some unsubordinated words. ”
"What!"
Liu Wen was taken aback.
I only heard Pei Ju continue: "And Yuan Min, the son of Yuanshou, has been too close to Zhang Dabin recently. But whenever Zhang Dabin held a banquet, he would attend. even often invited some people close to Zhang Dabin to have a banquet to spy on Zhang Dabin's words and deeds. ”
Liu Wen immediately understood when he heard this.
This Yuan Min's behavior is abnormal, and he wants to report Zhang Dabin so that he can make meritorious contributions.
I can't help but secretly call it dangerous.
Fortunately, I didn't meet Zhang Dabin!
Otherwise, it's really yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it's not but is.
Thinking about all this, Liu Wen solemnly saluted Pei Ju: "Thank you Pei Shilang for your guidance, if it weren't for Pei Shilang's words today, I'm afraid that the lonely king would have fallen into the villain's calculations this time!" ”
"King Song's words are serious, you are loyal to the country, how can you suffer such an injustice? Even if someone comes to the emperor to tell right and wrong, the emperor will not believe it. ”
Not necessarily!
Liu Wenxin said.
He understands the truth that 'all mouths are gold, and the bones are destroyed'.
also understands that because of his previous lack of awe, Yang Guang has been dissatisfied.
The Zhang Dabin incident this time is likely to trigger a second round of suspicion.
Pei Ju was able to report the news in time, which undoubtedly helped him a lot.
At the same time, Liu Wen also knew that Pei Ju was doing this to show favor to himself, so he also talked to him cordially.
Compared with Liu Wen, Pei Ju is more happy in his heart.
Through today's temptation, he has been able to fully confirm that Liu Wen is a piece of gold that no one else has discovered.
But now is not the time to chat, Pei Ju smiled all over his face, and reminded vaguely: "Chitose, it's not too early now, you still have to enter the palace, and the lower officials will retire first." ”
Liu Wen immediately understood.
He told himself cryptically: Without further ado, hurry up and talk to Yang Guang first, so that when others report it, he will be at a loss for words.
