Chapter 46: The Fall of the Backer
Pei Min's preference for tea is a habit he developed in the 21st century, and in this era, tea is not popular in Youzhou, and tea is not easy to buy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not drink it again until he came to Chang'an. In order to adapt to the customs here, he also specially selected mint that matches the taste from spicy, creamy, lard and other condiments.
The tea of this era is not as good as the dry stir-fry of later generations, but supplemented by cool mint, bitter with a bit of coolness and sweetness after the bitterness of the tea itself, the taste is not much different from the Longjing, Mengding, and Biluochun of later generations.
All this has happened in the last few months, and Princess Taiping has even investigated this tiny detail.
While he was greatly impressed, he also understood Princess Taiping's intention - this was her showing off her strength to herself.
"Good tea!" Pei Min smiled without moving: "I have a soft spot for tea, I especially like the mint taste, and the eldest princess is really well prepared." β
Princess Taiping was even more satisfied when she saw that Pei Min was fearless, and said: "This palace loves to promote young talents, especially a great talent like Pei Gongzi who knows how to take advantage of the situation at a young age, and can't help but love it." The re-examination of this ministry is coming soon, and I don't know what position Pei Gongzi has in mind. I know that you are not in harmony with the Pei family, you need to raise your eyebrows, if you are willing to serve this palace, this palace allows you to supervise the imperial history, what do you think? β
Pei Min's heart jumped, and he was moved by it, and secretly shouted: "Awesome! Princess Taiping's words were extremely clever, and almost every paragraph had a deep meaning. first used his favorite to promote young talents and promised himself in advance, and then pointed out that he used her to deal with Hui Fan, and showed her open-mindedness, explained the reason for investigating him with love and talent, and then let himself choose the position he liked, and finally directly pointed out the gap between himself and the Pei family, and gave himself the position of supervising the imperial history.
interlocking, the lure is said to the extreme.
The Pei family is a behemoth, Pei Min wants to make the Pei family regret it and even make the Pei family angry and make them pay the price, it will never work without a certain court status. However, the status of the court does not come by words, and it requires many factors such as merit, qualifications, and connections.
Even if he is a Jinshi today, his career is to start from the ninth grade. With the strength of the thousand-year-old Pei family, even if it is not as good as before, it will not be a nine-grade sesame official. But the supervision of the imperial history is different, the status of the supervision of the imperial history is not high, only the level under the eighth grade, but he is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, inspecting counties and counties, correcting prisons, purging the court and other affairs, and can also directly impeach the emperor for violating laws and disciplines and incompetent officials, and the weight of authority is no less than that of the fourth or fifth rank of the senior officials.
As soon as Pei Min became the superintendent of the imperial history, he really wanted to trouble the Pei family, which was enough for the Pei family to drink a pot.
Princess Taiping was so optimistic about him and promised him such benefits.
It's a pity that Pei Min knows history, although he can't remember the detailed time, but it is certain that just this year, Princess Taiping's party disappeared because of the congenital coup d'Γ©tat launched by Li Longji, and the Tang Dynasty has also moved towards a dreamlike prosperous chapter.
At this time, being tied up with Princess Taiping is not much different from looking for death and playing with heartbeats. What's more, he didn't mean to stay in Chang'an for a long time......
Pei Min was clever, and he didn't directly quarrel with Princess Taiping, and said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, my parents are here, I don't travel far, my family is far away in Youzhou, and I have never had the idea of developing in Chang'an." And I have made an appointment with Governor Xue Dadu, and after I am in high school, I will return to Youzhou to serve under his account. β
Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, and said: "That's right, you must not know that the Metropolitan Governor Xue Ne has been dismissed, and now he is a white body, and it is estimated that he has returned to his hometown in Hedong after calculating the time." β
"What?" Pei Min's expression changed suddenly, thinking about Xue Ne's military plan for a surprise attack on Liaodong and Liaoxi based on his unintentional words, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it difficult for the metropolitan governor to fail?" β
Princess Taiping smiled: "This is not enough, you can rest assured, with the help of your strategy, the Metropolitan Governor has successfully recaptured Liaodong and Liaoxi, and now the land passage of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate has been opened, and the Northeast is worry-free." β
"Why is that?" Pei Min has a little excitement in his heart, in his memory, the Tang Dynasty recaptured Liaodong and Liaoxi was a matter of the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and now Li Longji has not really taken power, Xue Ne has taken the first step to recapture the lost Liaodong and Liaoxi during the Wu Zetian period, there is no doubt that this credit has his share. His appearance for the first time drastically changed the course of history. It's just that Xue Ne won, how can he be relegated to a white body?
He looked at Princess Taiping with a puzzled expression.
Princess Taiping smiled slightly, and relieved Pei Min's doubts.
It turned out that the culprit was the discord between the generals. It was also the most critical reason why Pei Min opposed Xue Ne's dispatch of troops in the first place......
The soldiers brought out by Xue Ne himself defeated Sun Yan, and the soldiers who conquered Liaodong and Liaoxi were transferred from Chongzhi Mansion in other states, and Xue Ne was not the same heart, but had his own careful thoughts.
In this battle, Xue Neqin led 80,000 soldiers and horses to attack Liuzhou by land, and Dingzhou assassin Shi Cui Xuandao, general Li Sijing, and Du guest led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to sneak into the Andong Protectorate from land and water, and attacked Liaodong and Liaoxi by garrison.
Xue Ne's strategy was successful, and he successfully used Tietong tactics to reach the attack of the Khitan and Xi people, while Cui Xuandao, Li Sijing, and Du Ying's soldiers were divided into three routes, one way to attack Yingzhou, one way to attack Liuzhou, and the last way to attack the cattle and sheep of the Xi and Khitan. The three-way banner was victorious, Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing successfully won Yingzhou and Liuzhou, and Du Guest slaughtered tens of thousands of sheep and horses, and the blood gradually faded to the grassland.
It was a rare victory, but Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing were not willing to do this, they felt that the Khitan and Xi tribes, who had lost their logistics, were vulnerable and could take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Du couldn't stop it, and he could only repair the book to Xue Ne.
Xue Ne was so frightened that he asked five messengers to convey his military order prohibiting the dispatch of troops on the spot, and he rushed to Liuzhou day and night with more than ten personal guards, just in case. Sure enough, Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing lacked respect for Xue Ne, ignored his military orders, and insisted on going their own way.
Xue Ne arrived in time to stop Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing's stupid decision, and beat Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing with thirty military sticks in a fit of anger.
When Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing's subordinates heard the news, there was a faint momentum of mutiny.
For the sake of the overall situation, Xue Ne cut down all the generals who made trouble, and Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing were also cut down because they instigated their subordinates to rebel.
Cui Xuandao is a member of the Cui family, and Li Sijing is not small, as for the Li family in Longxi, the Li family of the Cui family took turns to impeach Xue Ne.
Although Xue Ne made great achievements, he was also convicted and demoted to a white body.
Pei Min was a little dumbfounded, this backer actually fell down when he said it.
This is not forcing him to continue to mix in the troubled waters of Chang'an!
