Chapter 799: The Princess's Night Banquet (Part 4)

Pei Xingjian is a righteous gentleman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Most gentlemen are honest people, even if honest people have the heart to chase fame and fortune, they are ashamed to show their surface, and their strong sense of morality constantly tells him that it is not right to pat the horse when they meet him, and there is no discipline. So when the situation forced him to slap the horse's whiskers, the clumsiness of the sycophants made the listeners sad, the people who saw it wept, and the embarrassment was committed.

Li Su and the others in the pavilion are now in the advanced stage of embarrassment, listening to Pei Xingjian's incoherent lame excuses, Li Su has goosebumps all over his body, while Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong have a cold war together, the two of them look at each other, their eyes are accusing each other, - why do you want to bring this coward over to be embarrassed? How nice it would be to pretend you don't know......

Everyone's purpose for climbing up is different, some are purely for the desire for power, and some are for the realization of their lifelong ambitions.

This is the difference between Li Yifu and Pei Xingjian.

What they have in common is that they are not very good now, one is the young eunuch of agriculture, when it comes to agriculture, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Prince Zhenla and Li Su, the work of Li Yifu's young eunuch is at best to pick up people's teeth and wisdom, and the emphasis is on no fault is meritorious, Li Shimin did not give him the position of the supervisor, which shows that he is still skeptical about Li Yifu's ability, unless he is lucky and makes great achievements, otherwise he will retire to Zhishi is probably a waiter-level treatment, and a "retirement glory" document will send him back to his hometown to enjoy his old age.

As for Pei Xingjian, he is even more miserable, in his twenties, he only mixed with Zuo Wuwei Cangcao to join the army, what is this "Cangcao joining the army" for? To put it bluntly, it's a warehouse. Every day, he sat at the door of the warehouse with a small bench, received grain, grass and weapons in the army, and said hello to him after leading the door, he wrote it down in a small notebook, and finally sent others away.

If it weren't for Su Dingfang being Pei Xingjian's master, to be honest, such a little official wouldn't even have the qualifications to meet Li Su in person.

Originally, Li Su still admired Pei Xingjian, of course, if he made a ranking in his heart, Pei Xingjian's status in his heart was still not as high as Li Yifu, because Li Yifu was relatively bad, and bad people often acted without too many fetters, and were not too constrained by morality and law, as long as they could achieve their goals, they could act by unscrupulous means, and good people should do one thing, there are too many places to be constrained, and the success rate is not too high, the morality on the left is in the way, the law on the right is ruthless, and the good people have no choice but to close their eyes and fall into the big pit in front of them……

Although Pei Xingjian's ranking in Li Su's heart is not high, Li Su has recently been interested in cultivating wings, and celebrities like Pei Xingjian, who have been famous for thousands of years and are both civil and military, are taking the initiative to ask for bags. Asking for a hug, of course Li Su couldn't refuse.

Before Pei Xingjian could say anything more embarrassing, Li Su hurriedly intercepted him.

"Okay, Brother Pei, stop! I received my heart, I don't have to change other excuses, my ginkgo tree is indeed good-looking, for this reason, Brother Pei is welcome to come to the Humble House as a guest often......" Li Su grinned at him twice, and said: "I heard that Brother Pei is still Zuo Wuwei's Cangcao joining the army now?" ”

Pei Xingjian's face flushed, and he nodded.

Li Su said with a smile: "Brother Pei is talented, and he is a disciple of Su Dingfang, why doesn't General Su seek a higher position for Brother Pei?" The so-called 'internal promotion does not avoid relatives', with the talent of Brother Pei, leading 10,000 people in armor, presumably it will not weaken the name of General Su. ”

Pei Xingjian blushed and sighed, "Master, he'...... I always say that I am not good enough, I can't become the essence of the sages, and if I don't do it, I will defend Huo's generals, and it is because I can't do it without martial arts, and I will fall very badly in the future. ”

Li Su couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, and a year flashed in his mind...... Could it be that this guy was brought home by Su Dingfang after digging it out of the garbage heap?

There are no papers or martial arts, experience is learned slowly, practice can see the truth, preaching the scriptures or leading the army to defeat the enemy, it is all slowly correcting the wrong things and learning the right things.

Su Dingfang did not promote Pei Xingjian, perhaps for his own good, or perhaps to avoid suspicion, but Li Su and Su Dingfang had different ideas, and he did not have so many scruples.

After pondering for a long time, Li Su said slowly: "Only for the state can it be called' Talent', Brother Pei has great talent, it is a pity to succumb to the small Cangcao, so let's do it, now Uncle Cheng is the general of the right military guard, tomorrow I will visit Uncle Cheng, ask him to write an order, transfer Brother Pei to the right military guard, of course, Brother Pei is just into the new camp, suddenly in a high position is afraid that he will not be able to serve the public, first wronged Brother Pei under Uncle Cheng to serve as a record to join the army, with Uncle Cheng side, whether there is a war or not, Brother Pei can give advice to Uncle Cheng, such as training, camping, arranging formations, etc., with Brother Pei's talent, it must soon be concerned by Uncle Cheng, and the future is limitless。 ”

Pei Xingjian was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to salute, this time the horse was actually much smoother, and he didn't stutter at all.

"Thank you Grandpa Li for your recommendation, Pei Mou has made an inch of progress in this life, all of which are appreciated by Grandpa Li, Pei Mou is willing to serve Grandpa Li for the work of dogs and horses!"

Li Su smiled and hugged Pei Xingjian's arm, and said: "I am just a step, people with real skills can naturally see it, and then climb the stairs, Brother Pei's future wealth is all earned by yourself, no one needs to thank me, including me." ”

These words brought tears to Pei Xingjian's eyes, and despite Li Su's desperate arm, he still stubbornly bowed down and saluted Li Su.

Li Suxu's official position to Pei Xingjian is not high, the military position of "recording things to join the army" is a bit subtle, saying that it has power, but there is no specific position, it belongs to the kind of big camp wandering around, pointing and pointing annoying guys everywhere, saying that it has the right, this position can meet the general in the barracks at any time, and put forward his own views and opinions on anything in the barracks at any time, when marching to war, if the general has difficulties and cannot be decided, the first person often summoned is to record the matter to join the army, after listening to all the suggestions of the record to join the army, will beat the drum and gather the generals to make the final decision.

Pei Xingjian used to join the army in Cangcao, and later joined the army, although they all "joined the army", but the gold content is very different, one is in charge of the warehouse, and the other is sitting under the general at any time to cook wine and talk about heroes, can these two be compared?

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu next to him were so jealous that their eyes were red, they were both old oilmen in the officialdom, and they naturally knew that Pei Xingjian would be transferred after tonight, as long as they played normally, the day when they would lead an army to attack the city and pull out the village in the future was not far off, and after envy and jealousy, the two looked at Li Su with blank eyes.

Such an honest person who is incompatible with officialdom has gained great benefits, and we old oilmen who have long been familiar with the various rules of officialdom...... The benefits of the old man who seeks the country must be greater, right?

Who knew that Li Su didn't seem to see Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong's extremely expectant and burning eyes, he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then looked up at the sky.

"Tonight's wind...... It's a bit of a hustle. Li Su sighed.

The corners of Xu Li's eyes twitched, if it weren't for your high rank and official position, you would have picked up the stool and smashed your head a little noisy......

The purpose of climbing is to eat a bite of cake, grabbing a cake is a technical job, pay attention to the eyes and hands are fast, the heart is black and thick, the four elements are indispensable, and there is nothing to do with yourself if you take a slow step.

Of course, the cake that Pei Xingjian ate was a bit inexplicable and contrary to common sense......

Looking up at the sky was a sign that he was about to end the chat, and sure enough, after Li Su sighed, he got up and smiled at everyone: "The good night is short, the wine and singing and dancing should not be disappointed, I think the night banquet of Her Royal Highness the princess should begin, let's go over now, shall we?" ”

Li Yifu's old face collapsed, and his expression was disappointed, but he still tried to squeeze out a smile, and he only said yes.

Li Su and Pei Xingjian walked side by side in front, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu walked behind, and the four of them left the pavilion and slowly walked towards the atrium of the Taoist temple.

After taking a few steps, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu behind slowed down their pace with a tacit understanding, and after a few feet away from Li Su and Pei Xingjian, Li Yifu sighed faintly, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Xu, that honest Pei Xingjian can actually get Grandpa Li's blue eyes, why didn't Grandpa Li say it to you and me?" ”

Xu Jingzong's face is not very good, although he is Xu Mingzhu's uncle, it can be regarded as a relationship with Li Su, but Li Su rarely interacts with him, and Xu Jingzong actually doesn't understand Li Su's temperament.

"The old man, this virtuous nephew, has always been a neat person, if he has the intention of carrying it, he will never pretend to be false, maybe there is any other reason for him to hesitate about us?" Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said with a hesitant expression.

Seeing that he couldn't tell what was going on, Li Yifu couldn't help but become more and more disappointed, and the atmosphere between the two fell into a slump.

Xu Jingzong was silent for a long time, and suddenly chuckled: "Perhaps, Grandpa Li thinks that Pei Xingjian is a good person, and we are two bad people......

Li Yifu was stunned for a moment, and then became angry.

"Where are we like bad guys? Where is it like? Why do you say we're bad guys? Yes? …… Well, even if we are bad people, do bad people deserve to die? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yifu was stunned again, and then lowered his head and sighed.

At this time, he also reacted suddenly, bad guy...... Damn it, it's strange, where did you get such a bold courage just now?

"I'm not a bad person!" Li Yifu confessed stupidly.

Xu Jingzong laughed twice, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Li, don't worry too much, no one can guess the thoughts of my virtuous nephew, no matter what, let's be more patient and behave in front of him, even if the virtuous nephew and son-in-law don't study what we mean, it won't be wrong to solve his worries after all, fate is destined, and it doesn't matter if it's a little later." ”

Li Yifu's emotions suddenly calmed down when he heard this, and he squinted at Li Su's back in front of him, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.
