"There are two reasons for Xia Guan's speculation."

Jing Xiang thought about it and said seriously.

"What are the two reasons? Tell me about it? ”

"The first may be the contradictions within the family, Wenxi Pei's family is a big family, and there have been many prime ministers. This saint seems to have always disliked the family, but he has to use it.

However, this saint is also avoiding these families from monopolizing the court, which is why Pei Shu has only been a man from the five grades for so long, and Pei Zhen, the secretary of the criminal department, has not become the prime minister. It may be that the suppression of the saint made the two dissatisfied, so they wanted to use the support of His Highness to seek greater power.

The second may be the usual trick of these families. ”

"Habitual tricks?" Hearing this word, Zhu Wen was a little puzzled.

Jing Xiang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, do you know why these families have continued from the Han Dynasty to the present?" How many dynasties have been there in between, but these families are still standing? ”

"Just say it!" Zhu Wen said dissatisfied.

"Back to Your Highness, in addition to the monopoly of these families on reading, at the same time, betting is also the reason why they can ensure the longevity of the family.

Pei Rong, as a privy envoy and a close confidant of the saint, is naturally a person from the saint's side; And Pei Zhen and Pei Shu moved closer to His Highness.

In this way, no matter whether it is the Shengshang of Chang'an who wins in the end, or His Royal Highness achieves hegemony, their Pei clan can guarantee continued prosperity.

That's why these families can prosper forever. Speaking of this, Jing Xiang's tone was a little cold.

Zhu Wen heard the other party's hatred for the family and smiled, "These families are tumors, but they can be used for now." Didn't they show favor to the king? Tell Pei Shu to take some practical action. ”

。。。。。。

"Ah Lang, someone outside the mansion asked to see him, saying that he was on the order of King Liang."

"King Liang?"

Hearing these two words, Pei Shu was a little puzzled, what is the matter with this Zhu Wen looking for himself? However, he thought that since he was sent by Zhu Wen, he had to be received, and he could not offend the powerful King of Liang.

"Let him in!"

Soon Zhu Youliang appeared in this Pei Mansion.

There are many Pei mansions in Chang'an, but the most prominent one is the mansion of Pei Rong, the privy envoy, followed by Pei Zhen's mansion. As for Pei Shu, although he is a jinshi, he is only a man from the five grades, and his position is not up or down, although his father was an official to the imperial doctor, but that is all about the previous emperor.

There is also a long and troubled clan in the middle, and the family is a little too late, but it is not as prominent as his father's time.

"Grass folk Zhu Youliang has seen Pei Langzhong!"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Pei Shu couldn't help asking, "I don't know that the virtuous brother is His Royal Highness King Liang... ”

"My father is the brother of His Royal Highness King Liang!"

"I see!" Pei Shu suddenly realized, and the person also became enthusiastic, "Brother Xian, please please come inside." Someone, go and bring me the Mengding tea that I treasured. ”

Pei Shu's collection is naturally not an ordinary Mengding tea, but a tribute tea among them, and there are not many of them outside, mainly for the use of the royal family.

And the Mengding tea that Pei Shu treasured was obtained from Pei Rong, which was naturally rewarded to Pei Rong by the Holy Lord. His relationship with Pei Rong is not very good, and he is not a person in the same room, but after all, they are of the same clan, and they are both officials in the court, so it is nothing to send some tea.

The two of them sat at the small table, watching their subordinates carefully brewing Mengding tribute tea, Pei Shu was curious, "I don't know if the virtuous brother is here to be suitable?" But what are the instructions from His Royal Highness King Liang? ”

"This is a handwritten letter from my uncle that I handed it to Pei Langzhong." Zhu Youliang took out a letter from his body and handed it to Pei Shu.

Pei Shu took the letter nervously, then opened the letter with trembling hands, and then looked at the contents of the letter seriously.

After reading the content of the letter, Pei Shu's face became solemn, and he inadvertently glanced up at Zhu Youliang. He wasn't sure if this letter was written by Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, but the signature was indeed Zhu Wen, and there was a seal, which couldn't be faked.

The credible content made him very difficult.

"Pei Langzhong is very difficult? Uncle said that if Pei Langzhong was in trouble, then he would ask others for help, and I believe that others would be happy to help. Zhu Youliang said lightly, and wanted to get up after speaking.

Seeing that Zhu Youliang was about to leave, Pei Shu hurriedly said, "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed!" This may be difficult for others, but for this official, it is a convenient thing. also asked the virtuous brother to tell His Royal Highness King Liang that this matter was wrapped up in Pei. ”

Although the content of the letter was a little difficult to handle, Pei Rong realized that this was a good opportunity to get in touch with King Liang, although he didn't understand that the other party would send such a letter for a nobody, but that was not his concern.

"Pei Langzhong rest assured, I will tell you truthfully." Seeing Pei Shu agree, Zhu Youliang clapped his hands, "Come on, bring things in." ”

Soon, a servant came in with a small wooden box, and then put the wooden box in front of Zhu Youliang.

Zhu Youliang opened it directly, and the contents were presented in front of Pei Shu.

And seeing the contents of the wooden box, Pei Shu was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Youliang pointed to the wooden box and said with a smile, "Pei Langzhong, this is five hundred taels of silver, which is a little bit of my uncle's heart." ”

The wooden box was not large, but there were ten silver collars neatly placed inside, each fifty taels of silver, a full five hundred taels.

Although the silver collar is not a circulating currency, it is very valuable, and it is 500,000 yuan when converted into copper coins, that is, 500 yuan.

Although Pei Shu has the shadow of his ancestors, this amount of money is not enough for him not to know the southeast and northwest, but he is still a little surprised by Zhu Wen's courage to make a move.

"Brother Xian, don't worry, this official will definitely handle this matter clearly explained by King Liang." Pei Shu reassured, then closed the wooden box and put it away.

。。。。。。

"Ah Lang, hasn't His Royal Highness King Liang already sent a letter to the Ministry of Rites, Ah Lang shouldn't have to worry about the imperial examination in the coming year, why did he leave Bianzhou in such a hurry?"

On the official road west of Bianzhou City, a carriage was moving alone in the direction of Chang'an, and the little maid who was driving the horse turned around from time to time to talk to the owner in the car.

"What do you know? King Liang is moody, he imprisoned us for half a year before, and now he finally has the opportunity to leave, what are we staying in Bianzhou for?

And I am in Bianzhou, just to seek the approval of King Liang. Now that King Liang has greeted the Ministry of Rites, my goal has been achieved, and I will continue to stay with the moody King Liang, and it is not certain whether I can survive the scientific examination next year. ”

Looking at Bianzhou behind him, Du Xunhe didn't have a trace of nostalgia, but wanted to leave quickly, as if Bianzhou was a demon cave.

And after hearing what his master said, Xiao Wu was a little in a daze, which made him a little incomprehensible, is this still the Ah Lang he is familiar with?

"Don't be stunned, we need to find a place to rest before dark!"

"Oh, okay!" Only then did the little guy react, waving his horsewhip, "Drive!" Drive! ”
