Chapter 326: Angry Pei Rong (Second Update)
On this day, after the court, Li Zhen walked with Pei Rong for the first time.
The reason why it is unprecedented is because of the special identities of the two.
Li Zhen is in charge of Jinyiwei and directly obeys His Majesty's orders, and many things are not the cabinet at all, which is destined for him not to have too close a relationship with a certain minister or ministers, which will definitely make His Majesty think more.
Similarly, Pei Rong, the privy envoy, is even more sensitive.
Nominally, the privy envoy is in control of the world's soldiers and horses, and is the person who has the greatest influence on the army except for His Majesty.
Previously, the privy envoys were all eunuchs, and since the new emperor ascended the throne, they have been held by courtiers. This position itself is very sensitive, and if you have close contacts with other ministers, especially those military generals who hold military power, it is no different from seeking death.
Therefore, since serving as the privy envoy, Pei Rong has been conscientious and has kept a certain distance from those generals. Fortunately, he is not a military general, but a civil minister, and he has no cronies in the army, so he can hold this position.
However, seeing Li Zhen stop him, Pei Rong looked at the courtiers around him and whispered, "Is there anything important about Scholar Li?" β
"It's something, it's nothing to Zaixia, but it may have a lot to do with Pei's secret envoy. Li has a copy of the news reported by the Jinyi Guard in the river, which is not a secret, but it is somewhat implicated with the secret envoy Pei. After all, they were all on an errand under His Majesty very early, and they didn't want to see Privy Envoy Pei upset His Majesty because of some trivial matters. β
At first, Pei Rong didn't take it to heart, but when he heard that this little thing would make His Majesty unhappy, his face changed. He didn't think he had done anything to displease His Majesty, but looking at Li Zhen's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying to him.
With curiosity and doubts, Pei Rong opened the piece of paper full of words handed over by Li Zhen, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and a few words jumped out of his teeth with difficulty.
"This shit!"
Li Zhen smiled, "Privy Envoy Pei doesn't have to worry too much, after all, the matter hasn't happened yet, and there is still a chance to redeem it." After all, it is about Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely let Jinyiwei investigate, and if there is a problem at that time, Your Majesty will be unhappy. β
After speaking, Li Zhen left without talking to Pei Rong too much.
The reason why he came out like this today was just that he thought it was a little interesting, and he also maintained a minimum friendly relationship with Pei Rong, so he took care of it once.
Of course, even if he didn't remind him, Pei Rong would not lose his position as privy envoy because of this matter, but he would definitely leave a bad impression in the eyes of His Majesty with ulterior motives.
Looking at Li Zhen who was leaving, and then at the paper in his hand, Pei Rong felt that his face was about to be lost. Fortunately, Li Zhen reminded him, otherwise he would definitely leave a bad impression in front of His Majesty, and all of this was caused by the waste cousin he wanted to help promote.
Thinking of this, Pei Rong clenched the paper in his hand, and his whole face was gloomy.
The other ministers of the lower dynasty also found that Li Zhen said a few words in front of Pei Rong, and Pei Rong's face changed, and they thought that there was some conflict between the two.
One is an old man who has served as the head of Shouwang's Mansion since His Majesty was named King Shou, and the other is a person who is now very trusted by His Majesty.
The things in front of the palace did not hide from Li Ye's eyes, and someone reported to him after a while. He asked people to investigate, but when he learned what happened, he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at? Why this expression? β
Liu Chenyan, who was playing with her son, was a little puzzled when she saw Li Ye's strange expression.
"Nothing." Li Ye subconsciously denied it, if this matter was known to the person in front of him, he would definitely have to make some trouble.
Liu Chenyan looked puzzled, but no matter how she asked, Li Ye just didn't say it, and she didn't ask anymore.
Just when Li Ye was secretly lucky, in Pei's Mansion, Pei Rong, who came back from the next dynasty, did not stay in the Privy Council office in the front hall of Daming Palace, but returned home directly.
"Sir!"
Pei Rong got out of the carriage, saw the butler who ushered him, and asked with a straight face, "Where is Pei Rui?" β
Hearing Pei Rong call him by his name, the housekeeper also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly replied, "Back to the master, the second master went to the banquet, and he won't be able to come back until later." β
The second master in the housekeeper's mouth is Pei Rui, although he is only a cousin, but after all, the two are grandfathers, and the relationship is relatively close, so the government calls Pei Rui the second master.
"Call him back at once, I'll be waiting for him in the antechamber!"
Pei Rong's face was gloomy when he said this, and the housekeeper could be sure that the second master had done something that made the master very angry. He also knew that this second master was not a thing, and he had only been in Chang'an for a few days, and he didn't know what to do under the banner of the master.
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper hurriedly went out and ordered someone to call the second master back, and he asked the maid to make the tea.
After the maid brewed the tea and brought it up, the annoyed Pei Rong didn't wait for the tea to cool down a little before drinking, as soon as his tongue touched the tea, his face changed greatly, and he threw the teacup directly to the ground.
The crisp voice startled the people around him, and he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Pei Rong didn't mean to be angry with these subordinates, and impatiently ordered these people to go down, so as not to annoy him.
Thinking of that unsuccessful cousin, he couldn't wait to strangle the other party, he knew that the other party was so uncompetitive, he wouldn't let the other party come to Chang'an, he simply lost his face, maybe the concubine Liu Kui was laughing at him.
I don't know what this Pei Rui has in his head? Paste?
Although there was a conflict with the soldiers of the Right God Army, is this a big deal? If it weren't for Pei Rui's bullying, it is estimated that there would not be such a.
It's good later, if there is a conflict, go to Liu Kui, is it possible to let the family deal with yourself for you, Pei Rui, who jumped out of nowhere?
These generals are very protective, and this matter is still taken care of.
Thinking of this, he was a little angry, you must know that this cousin is this kind of virtue, and he will not let the other party come to Chang'an if he says anything.
Seeing that the other families were all sending young women to the palace, Wen Xi Pei's family was definitely not lagging behind. He thought that the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, because he did not have a daughter of the right age, and he thought that this cousin had a daughter who was still waiting for the boudoir, so he planned to give this opportunity to this niece.
But now, his decision was too hasty.
If something really happens later, Your Majesty still thinks that he did it on purpose, who will reason with him at that time?
γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο~8.~1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
Is Your Majesty really a fool?
But if you don't let this niece go, wouldn't it be a person who takes this opportunity to cheapen other houses? Although they are all from the Wenxi Pei family, there are also distant relatives, and they are not descendants in this room.
Just when Pei Rong was hesitating there, there was a pleasant sound of laughter outside, and when he looked up, he saw his wife, daughter, daughter-in-law and others coming back from outside, talking and laughing, and the servants behind him also carried a lot of things, it seemed that they had gone shopping in the East Market.
This situation often happens, and Pei Rong is not surprised, but when he saw a woman holding hands with his daughter, his eyes suddenly lit up.
A group of people who had just returned from shopping in the East Market learned that Pei Rong was in the front hall, so they came over to say hello together.
"Sir!"
"Daddy!"
"Uncle!"
Pei Rong reluctantly smiled, and then moved his gaze to Pei Zhenyi, who was on the side, "Zhenyi, how old are you this year?" Have you ever been married? β
"Ahh Pei Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said, "Back to uncle, Zhenyi is 16 years old this year, and he is not married yet." β
β16οΌ It's OK! β
Pei Rong's words made the group a little confused, why did they suddenly remember to ask Pei Zhenyi's age and marriage, did they want to set a marriage for her?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Pei Rui's family hurried back, sweating profusely.
As soon as he entered the door, Pei Rui asked impatiently, "Brother Rong, is it decided that Qing'er will enter the palace?" β
Hearing that they entered the palace, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it, and when they saw Pei Qing who was a little happy on the side, they couldn't help but suddenly realize.
No wonder Pei Rong sat in the front hall and didn't leave, it turned out to be like this.
The group had just returned from outside, and they didn't know what had happened in the house before, including the tea and crumbs on the ground had also been cleaned up, and there was only a little imperceptible trace of water.
When it came to entering the palace, Pei Rong's face that was still full of smiles just now suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at Pei Rui and said loudly, "It's just here, I'll say something." β
Sensing Pei Rong's eyes, Pei Rui felt a little panicked, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Brother Rong, what's the matter?" Pei Rui asked.
Pei Rong glanced at this uncompetitive cousin, and said coldly, "You don't know what you did in Hezhong Mansion?" β
"In the river?" Pei Rui was stunned for a moment, then remembered the thing that impressed him, and couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, "Brother Rong is talking about those soldiers who don't have long eyes?" β
"I heard that you also went to find Liu Juma and Wang Ke, the envoy of Hezhong Jiedu?"
Pei Rui didn't think about it so much, nodded and replied, "It's not that those soldiers don't have long eyes, so the junior brother wants to ask Liu Juma to help and punish those soldiers." As a result, I mentioned the relationship with Brother Rong and you, but Liu Juma actually avoided it, and he didn't take Brother Rong and you too seriously.
And that Wang Ke, even more and mud. . . β
"Bastard!"
Pei Rong slapped the table heavily, and then pointed at Pei Rui with a red face, which startled everyone in the front hall.
"Are you at random to be Liu Luma? That's His Majesty's brother-in-law today, Princess Changning is His Majesty's sister, do you really think that I am in power? β
Pei Rui couldn't help muttering, "Isn't the privy envoy just the power leaning towards the government and the opposition?" β
It's no wonder that Pei Rui thinks so, Yang Fugong was the privy envoy before, although there was Tian Lingzi at that time, but it was not too far from the power tilting towards the government and the opposition. And Pei Rui didn't know much about the situation in the court today, and when he learned that his cousin served as a privy envoy, he was a little drifting.
"What did you say?" Seeing that Pei Rui not only did not admit his mistake, but also talked back, Pei Rong, who was angry, directly grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at the other party.
Note that it is smashed on the body, which at most wets the clothes, but the person is not a big deal. If it hits the head, it will leave a scar.
I'm sorry, people are a little out of shape these days, and I went back to Chengdu to adjust the files, and there are many things.
