Which Pei family is the Pei family??
Is it the middle family room of the Pei family in Hedong, where the Kudi clan is located, or the east family room, or even?
"But I don't know what the old lady means by this?" Pei Min still didn't know the meaning of the Kudi clan, and decided to respond to the changes with no change.
When the Kudi clan came to talk to him, he would have asked for something, so it was better to listen to what she had to say and then judge.
The Kudi clan is old and refined, and it is easy to be able to be a generation of Confucian generals Pei Xingjian and Empress Wu Zetian at the same time, and it is easy to say: "Guogong volunteered to help the dog before, and the old woman remembered it in her heart, and learned what happened to Lingtang back then, and knew that she had the intention of entering the ancestral hall. The old woman boasted that she had some reputation in the clan, so she went to Wenxi's hometown to find the patriarch and talk about it. It's just that the patriarch shirked this matter in every way, saying that the prince of the country did not remember the nurturing kindness in the clan and left the Pei family on his own, this wind could not be long, it was ridiculous and stupid, and I don't know what kind of face the old guy had to say this. ā
For the head of the main family, Kudi did not have the slightest respect, and directly addressed him as "old guy". She was originally a Hu girl that Pei Xingjian knew in the Western Regions, and she had a famous Tang Dynasty general with unparalleled calculations, and she also had the most honorable status among the wives of Wu Zetian. Not only does she have the straightforward contempt of etiquette, but also under Pei Xingjian's words and deeds, she has the delicate and delicate heart of a woman in the Central Plains.
The current family is not the family of the past, the family of the year was the goal of the worship of the children of Shilin in the world, and its status in Shilin's heart is supreme, and in many cases it can even surpass the imperial power. However, after Wu Zetian's fierce killing, the status of the family plummeted, and it was no longer able to completely replace Shilin. In addition, the status of the imperial examination is becoming more and more important, and the promotion of scholars does not depend on the family. The Maison has lost a major source of talent, and it has also shown its disadvantages.
It's not obvious now, but a hundred years later, the Shu Hanmen led by Niu Monk and Li Zongmin and the family representatives Li Deyu and Zheng Qin launched a 40-year political struggle, and finally the Niu Monk and Li Zongmin on behalf of the Han Sect won the final victory, and the era of the gate lord family ruling Shilin officially ended. The later Huangchao uprising directly pushed the family to extinction.
Although the current clan has not yet fallen to that point, the scene of defeat has already appeared.
In recent years, whether it is the family with five surnames and seven wangs or the Pei family in Hedong, it does not occupy an advantage in the court, and now there are eight prime ministers in the court, only one Lu Huaishen is a person from an upper-class family, and because of his sense of existence, he can't speak, and he pushes soy sauce when he encounters something, and is ridiculed by the courtiers as the "prime minister with food", and he is a prime minister who knows how to eat.
Even the five surnames and seven hopes are all this virtue, and the second-class Pei family in Hedong is naturally not much better.
The Pei family is actually quite lucky, when Wu Zetian was ruthless to the family, there were five surnames and seven wangs in front of him, Pei Xingjian had just passed away, Pei Xingjian's youngest son Pei Guangting married Wu Sansi's daughter and became the son-in-law of the Wu family, preventing a lot of disasters for the Pei family, and the loss of family strength was not very large. But there is still no one in the court who can have status and strength compared to Pei Min.
"Stupid indeed!" Regarding the choice of the head of the Pei family, Pei Min only said these four words.
Now his Pei Min's status is a transcendent existence even if he looks at the entire Pei family, not to mention the potential of the future and Li Longji's importance, these potential values.
The main value of the Maison's existence for hundreds of years and thousands of years lies in the complementarity of resources. The clansmen relied on the cultivation of the family to enter the official career and achieve great things. When the clansmen entered the court, they had power in their hands, and they could feed back to the family, on the one hand, they could support them, and on the other hand, they could also cultivate confidants, and they were mutually beneficial, forming a huge interest group.
Interests are the basis for maintaining friendship.
As long as it is profitable, no one will break this rule, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, even if the dynasty changes, this chain of interests will not be broken.
Pei Min is now extraordinary in civil governance, his martial arts are also prominent, he has a certain status in the court, and he is a small official of the feudal territory, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a feudal official. At that time, he will have many resource positions in his hands, which will need to be filled by all kinds of talents, and these vacant positions are the dream of the Maison.
Pei Min doesn't have any special feelings for the Pei family, he has come to this point, except for the enlightenment of the school in his early years, he has nothing to do with the Pei family. However, Pei's mother's wish, as a son of man, is necessary to fulfill it for her. He conveyed goodwill to the Pei family through Pei Guangting, as long as he could fulfill Pei's mother's wish, he didn't mind helping the Pei family at the right time, but there has been no news so far.
If the Pei family was confident in the early years, it might not matter. The current Pei family, what reason is there to be picky?
There is only one explanation but stupidity.
Kudi said: "As the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, I don't want to see the Pei family decline. The actions of the main family over the years have made the people of the clan turn their backs. Instead of waiting for the clan to lose, it is better to break the situation and stand after the break. The old patriarch is old, and many things are inevitably conformist, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, so it is natural to replace him with meritocracy. ā
Pei Min heard that she would force the palace to be so high-sounding, and he didn't smile secretly: "Who is this virtuous person?" It can't be me, right? ā
Kudi shook his head and said: "Guogong is laughing, and he deserves it." But the prince is in a high position, so how can he have extra time to deal with trivial matters at home. It's just that the new patriarch of the family must put the interests of the Guogong first, and the family resources move around the development of the Guogong. Although Guogong is not the head of the family, he is related to the interests of the Pei family. Where the benefits are, the hearts of the people want. As far as Guogong is concerned, the so-called patriarch is just a title. ā
Pei Min calculated the gains and losses, and he was not worried that the Kudi clan would deceive him and calculate him. The current situation is that the Pei family wants to hug his thighs, have a mutually beneficial interest relationship with him, and strengthen the Pei family, not what he wants. The support of the Pei family is the icing on the cake for him, but his support for the Pei family can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, which are completely two concepts.
Pei Min's development speed has forced the Pei family to mess up. It is precisely because of the wrong decision of the head of the family that this situation has led to the fact that he even did not hesitate to depose the contemporary head of the family to hug his thigh.
Seeing that Pei Min was considering the gains and losses, Kudi said again: "As long as it is done, no one dares to say anything about Lingtang's intentions, and it is needless to say that he will enter the ancestral hall." ā
"What about my father? What about the grievances they received in their early years? And my father-in-law? Although I don't know the details of the year, there is no one in it, and I don't believe it. Pei Min looked at Kudi with burning eyes.
Kudi's face changed slightly, and he stopped speaking for a while.
Pei Min didn't know about the old things back then, and families like the Pei family attached great importance to the atmosphere within the clan and attached great importance to the family's reputation. Old and young are secretive about the unfavorable rumors in the clan, and would rather rot in the stomach than spread them. After more than 30 years, it is not easy to find out the clues.
But being able to become the head of the Pei family is definitely not a stupid person, and it is impossible not to see the potential of his Pei Min's current status. At most, it is only twenty years, or as little as five or six years, and it is either a step closer to the prime minister or a feudal official.
A family has the support of a prime minister or a feudal official, and its status will be very different, and in the face of this kind of potential stock, it is not good to grasp it, but it is rejected from it. Who would believe it without a reasonable reason?
Pei Min studied the art of war, and he didn't have the four words "inch by inch" in his dictionary, so he could only pursue by victory and take advantage of the weakness.
If the Pei family had accepted his overtures as early as the beginning, Pei Min would not have calculated in detail in order to achieve his mother's wishes, so as not to cause complications. Now his status and power are completely different from before, and it would be too much of a loss for him to trade with the Pei family on the same terms.
This time, he not only wanted his mother to enter the ancestral hall, but also asked for justice for his father and grandfather who had never met, and asked for an explanation, and the most important thing was to eliminate the self-blame in Pei's mother's heart.
In Pei's mother's heart, Pei's father has always been the promising young master of the Pei family, but because of her, he was forced to exile to the north and died depressed. For this reason, she regretted it for half her life, if it can be proved that someone could not tolerate Pei's father and deliberately took the opportunity to make trouble, the situation would be very different.
The Kudi clan is of the older generation, although it is not a line of the main family, but in that era, the resources of the Pei family revolved around the core of Pei Xingjian. The status of the Kudi clan may not be inferior to that of the old patriarch, and even if she doesn't know the details, she should have heard a thing or two.
The Kudi clan has indeed heard some "rumors", after all, Pei Min's grandfather is the future head of the Pei family, which is a recognized thing in the clan, and he has already begun to take over the affairs of the clan: drunk and drowned in the lake, no one can say whether it was an accident or an accident.
There is no doubt that the biggest beneficiary is the current head of the Pei family.
It's just that the Kudi clan is the Pei family after all, and the reputation of the Pei family is the top. If this old case is opened, it is better to say that it is an accident, but if it is an accident, it will be a big scandal.
This is the most taboo thing in ancient times. The two did not discuss a mutually satisfactory outcome in this matter.
Pei Min and Kudi are both characters who know the general situation, even if they don't get what they want, the two are talking and laughing, and they don't break up unhappily.
Cudi needs to weigh the pros and cons and understand the situation.
And Pei Min is sitting and watching the Pei family surge, in all fairness, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, the Pei family in Hedong is also an upper-class family, there is no certain level of big material, but there is a group of carefully cultivated Chinese materials in the clan, which can take over the work of all walks of life.
With a group of officials, he doesn't need to do many things himself, which will not only be much easier, but also can accurately and orderly implement his system arrangements, which is still helpful.
It's just that Pei Min has already given face at the beginning, it is not uncommon for him to be himself, don't expect him to speak well now?
It is too cheap to give up the position of the palace safely and peacefully, and the head of the Pei family who has not yet seen it!
