Chapter 11: The Imperial Party
Yu Jin is a fiery character, and he will not delay for a moment what he has promised. Today, I took the opportunity of the court meeting, and I don't know what method he used, but he quietly invited a group of core figures of the imperial party to gather in the Yang Mansion in Jingning in the evening to discuss Pei Guo's affairs.
The dignitaries of the imperial party arrived one after another, and such a big battle was naturally to avoid people's eyes. Fortunately, none of the big guys are ordinary people, and they have also learned full experience in fighting with Erzhu's party these days, so the eight immortals have crossed the sea to show their magical powers, but they have never leaked their whereabouts.
Although the former Situ Yang Chun has been a minister, he still cares about state affairs, and this is in his mansion, since he is not allowed to be the master, he retired early from irrelevant people, etc., and prepared water, wine, and dried fruits in the side hall.
Yang Kan and Yang Su accompanied both sides. His two brothers are the most convenient, and they can swagger down and return home.
Shizhong, Pingyang Wang Yuanxiu and Shizhong, Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch came together, accompanied by the chariot general Changsun Zhi, who returned from Guanzhong and has now been reappointed as a court lieutenant.
Soon Situ and Linhuai Wang Yuanyu also hurried over, and then Sizhou Mu, Shizhong, and Chengyang Wang Yuanhui called open the back door and sneaked in.
In addition, Hou Zheng Xianhu of Pingchang County, Li Kanxi, Guanglu Shaoqing, Zhongshu Shilang Xingzicai, Zhongshu Sheren Wen Zisheng and several other pioneers have been waiting at the Yang family, as well as the son of Li Chong, the late Wukang Gong, and Li Shenliang, the secretary of the ministry, were also present.
Yu Jin was the last to arrive, and sure enough, he was an anxious person, and the water and wine didn't touch his lips, so he told Pei Guo about it in one breath. When Yu Jin spoke, he was generally flat and straightforward, but he also specially exaggerated the "old hatred and new grudges" of Pei Guo, Cui Xian and Hu Sichun, and as for Pei Guo's ability, it was even more amazing.
After Yu Jin finished speaking, there was a lot of chatter and controversy in the field. It is roughly divided into three factions:
The first faction to take the lead was Yang Yu, who was very excited: "This Pei Guo is indeed brave and invincible, but don't forget that in the battle of Xingyang that day, it was he Pei Guo who captured my eldest brother Yang Yu, and finally Xingyang was lost, and my eldest brother died." My Yang family really has a deep hatred for this person, how can I tolerate it? Saying that, he couldn't help but look at Yang Chun, the father who was sitting at the top, and didn't want the old man to have no reaction, but after a closer look, he closed his eyes, as if he was recuperating.
Changsun Zhi and Zheng Xianhu also suffered losses under Pei Guo's hands, so they opened their mouths to echo Yang Su.
However, Yang Kan seemed to have something to say, and it can be seen that Yang Kan was full of anger, so he had to sigh and stop talking.
The second faction is mainly Yuan Xiu and Yuan Bao Ju. Yuan Xiu bluntly said that such a talent should be introduced into his own camp regardless of his previous suspicions, and at this time, he should be flexible. Yuan Bao Ju has always looked forward to Yuan Xiu's horse, and hurriedly said: "This confused world, who can sort out grievances and grievances?" If there is a grudge, this Pei Guo used to be a white-robed thief general, and he killed Yuan Tianmu in Xingyang City, and Erzhu Rong was so angry in Beizhong City that he was like thunder, he and Erzhu's party can also be described as a big feud, isn't it? ”
Chengyang Wang Yuanhui didn't recognize Pei Guo, but he had always been friends with Yuan Xiu, so he couldn't help but say: "Listening to what Si Jing said, this kid named Pei Guo really has a grudge and entanglement with that fierce jackal and vicious dog. Dharma cloud, the cycle of cause and effect is predestined, since it is the will of heaven, and if it is used well, this person cannot be said to be a strange child. "It turns out that he is still a Buddhist.
Yu Jin was very happy when he heard this, and nodded his head again and again.
The third faction is Li Shenliang, the secretary of the ministry, Li Kanxi, Guanglu Shaoqing, Zhongshu Shilang Xing Zicai, and Wen Zisheng, a member of the Zhongshu Sheren. He had no contact with Pei Guo before, so he kept silent.
Among the bunch of people, only Yang Chun and Yuan Yu actually met, spoke, and understood Pei Guo, but at this time, for some reason, they never spoke.
During the controversy, in the end, the "public heart" was greater than the "personal enmity", and gradually the third faction also began to approve of the Yuan Yuan Cultivation Yuan Torch.
Yang was anxious, raised his head and shouted: "yes! You just say something! ”
Yang Chun's eyes widened, and there was a fine light in the faint old man's eyes, and he said coldly: "Su'er, your eldest brother's hatred will never be mentioned again from now on." I have already made it clear that even the personal enmity with Chen Qingzhi has been written off, let alone Pei Guo. If you want me to say, everything is based on the public heart, as long as this person is truly loyal to the king and the country, and he has the ability, why refuse it? ”
Yang Yu was speechless, Zheng Xianhu was still angry, and snorted coldly: "Is this person from a white-robed thief, and the white-robed thief harmed my people, so I let him go so easily?" ”
Yuan Yu, who had been silent, opened his mouth and retorted: "If you talk about your background, Pei Guoguo is a person from Wuchuan of my Great Wei Dynasty, a disciple of Gaomen, and a descendant of Zhongliang. I have a relationship with this person, not to mention the martial arts strategy, and the character is not bad, even when I was in the white-robed army, I actually had Great Wei in my heart, and often persuaded Chen Qingzhi to restrain his subordinates. ”
The eldest grandson still had doubts and said, "This person... Can you really be loyal to the monarch and the country? I heard that he and Erzhu's subordinate He Bayue and others were brothers who had been together since childhood. ”
Yu Jin said loudly: "Pei Guo's character, Yu Jin is willing to guarantee with his life!" ”
The hall was silent for the time being.
At this time, Yang Kan walked out, he has always been known for his wisdom, and today because he was afraid of his cousin Yang Su's mood, he wanted to speak several times and stopped. Now that Yang Chun has spoken and set the tone, Yang Kan said bluntly: "Er Zhurong can pardon Yang Zhong who hurt his beloved nephew, how can I not tolerate Pei Guo?" Don't hesitate any longer, knowing that Pei Guo and He Bayue are brothers, is it possible to push such talents to Erzhu's party? ”
As soon as Yang Kan's words came out, everyone had no argument.
Yuan Xiu said: "In fact, the brothers of He Bayue were only forced to succumb to the command of Erzhu, and in my opinion, they did not have the heart of loyalty to the monarch and the country. I don't want to hide it from you, I have long had the intention of communicating with He Bayue, and this Pei Guo has a relationship with several of him who have had a fateful relationship, and he is communicating with each other. "All are good.
At this point, the big guy will definitely come down, and he will soon lead Pei Guo to "join the gang".
As for how to act, Yang Kan had an idea: "The king of Chengyang said that Pei Guo can be a strange son, I deeply think so." A few of us are in the Ming Dynasty, and the Erzhu party is very strict against us, and it has always been difficult for us to act. might as well let Pei Guo pretend to have nothing to do with me, but secretly do things for us, in this way, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Yu Jin nodded again and again: "Think of a way to prevent Erzhu and the party from knowing about Pei Guo and us." ”
"It's hard... Yuan Baoju frowned and said, "I can't wait to come forward, which one will lead him into the court?" If you can't enter the court, what is the use of Pei Guobai's body? ”
Everyone pondered hard and was at a loss for a while. Suddenly, Yuan Yu slapped his head and shouted, "There is!" I think of one person, the most suitable! ”
"Who?"
"Former Taiwei, Jiangyang Wang Yuanji!"
Everyone look at me, I look at you, and then laugh together: "What King Linhuai said is very true. In this matter, King Jiangyang must come forward! ”
Former Taiwei, Jiangyang Wang Yuanji, the old man of the country. His qualifications are both old and the famous king of the clan, and it is up to him to recommend Pei Guo, who is already from a high family, to be an official, and he must give some face wherever he goes.
Yuan Ji has been away from the court for a long time, and in the eyes of others, the old man has never asked about political affairs, and Erzhu's party will not be wary of him. In addition, there is another benefit, Yuan Ji has a lot of relationship with Er Zhurong, and Er Zhurong respects him very much. Youyuan succeeded as the "backer", and Pei Guo did not worry about the enemies of Erzhu and his party, and they had nothing to provoke.
The plan has been decided, the big guys dispersed, and said that they would go their separate ways, and they would find an opportunity to report to the Son of Heaven and Yuanziyou.
