Pei Zhaoming was ordered to go to the Jiankang Palace four days ago and was ordered to go to Huaiyin to welcome Tuoba Shen and his party. He had heard about Tuoba Shen's envoy to Jiang Zuo two months ago, but he didn't expect the emperor to let him come to Huaiyin as a guest. At the beginning of the order, the emperor asked him again about what he had seen and heard in Pingcheng for consultation.

After the boat docked, Tuoba Shen got off the boat first, and walked to Pei Zhaoming with Li Biao, Yu Zhong and others, and said: "Shen said goodbye to Pei Pingcheng, I didn't expect to meet again after the New Year, fortunately!" ”

"Zhaoming Yu Jiankang learned that His Royal Highness was an envoy, and he waited for news for months, and he didn't want His Highness to arrive today. In the past, His Royal Highness went out of the city to see him off, and Zhaoming was grateful to his heart, and a few days ago he was ordered by my lord to come to Huaiyin to greet him. Although this trip is the king's order, it is also a clear wish. ”

"Your lord's kindness, the foreign envoy's heart."

After the politeness, Tuoba Shen introduced Yu Zhong, Zheng Daozhao, Jiang Shaoyou and others to Pei Zhaoming. Pei Zhaoming already knew about these people, but he didn't know them. Zheng Daozhao came from the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and the Zheng clan was also well-known in the Southern Dynasty. In the former Jin Dynasty, the biological mother of Sima Yu, Emperor Jianwen of the Jin Dynasty, was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, but there were no high-ranking officials after his clan, and he was unknown in Jiangzuo. It's just that I didn't expect that the one that stayed in Jiangbei in recent years gradually appeared.

Yu Zhong is out of Xianbei, he doesn't know it, but Jiang Shaoyou he knows. In the past, before Jiang Shaoyou seized the four states of Qingqi in the Northern Dynasty, he was in-law with the Qinghe Cui family, and there were many Qinghe Cui dynasty courtiers in this dynasty. After the northern envoy arrived that day, the emperor's text documents were all over the court, the champion general, the crown prince Zuo rate and the general attendant Cui Huijing and others said that Jiang Shaoyou was his nephew.

"This is Liu Wenyuan, the eldest son of King Danyang of my dynasty. For the sake of being cautious of his relatives, he came here to be ordered by his father, hoping to go to the mausoleum of Liu's father and ancestors to pay tribute to the tombs of his fathers and ancestors, and to pay for the decades of remembrance of King Danyang. ”

Pei Zhaoming bowed and did not speak. Liu Wenyuan's situation is special, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with this person. The children of the Liu family in the previous dynasty were almost dead. In the next few generations of Liu Yu, there were few people who could get a good death, and eighty or ninety percent died in political disputes, and only Liu Jun's sons were killed by Liu Ziye and the Pig King. Before the establishment of this dynasty, the remaining clans of Liu Song were killed a lot, and soon after the Chan Dynasty, several surviving people were deposed and knighted as commoners.

As for what happens to these people, no one cares for a long time. Pei Zhaoming has been in Jiankang for so many years, and he has not heard of any of the descendants of the Liu family who are still in Jiankang, and he privately guesses that these few descendants of the Liu family may also be secretly eradicated. Those who are still alive now, that is, some of the female dependents of the Liu family, they are not a threat to the dynasty, and many women are still from high-ranking families such as Wang, Xie, Jiang, Chu, etc., and the court has no intention of connecting them again, so there are still many who stay in Jiankang, some of them are widowed by Liu's women, and some remarry others.

Speaking of Liu Chang, who absconded from Jiangbei, his mother was born in the Xie family and has been dead for 11 years. When Liu Chang fled, he left his mother and wife behind, and only took a concubine Wu, leaving behind his wife Xi who was killed by her mother-in-law in the third year of Liu Changyuan's escape from Jiangbei. The two posthumous sons also died one after another not long after birth, and it can be said that Liu Chang is a rare surviving bloodline of the Liu family.

Liu Chang fled on his own more than 20 years ago, although it can be said that he was helpless, but his reputation has been ruined. This dynasty inherited Liu's Yu Yin, and naturally there was no place for Liu Chang. Therefore, Liu Chang is very different from other Liu clans, as long as Liu Chang does not come back by himself, the court will not be deeply jealous of him, the eldest son born in Jiangbei.

。。。。。。

After the Huaiyin Ferry was connected, Pei Zhaoming went to the place of the Assassin History Department to ask for a meeting with Yuan Rongzu. Yuan Rongzu from the end of the seventh year of Yongming began to serve as the assassin of North Yanzhou, it has been a year and a half now, since the rainy period, Yuan Rongzu's old injury recurred, often lying on the couch.

Hearing that Pei Zhaoming came to ask for a meeting, Yuan Rongzu was not lazy, he was served by two attendants, and after getting up from the hospital bed, he met Pei Zhaoming in the side hall.

"Pei Shilang is not waiting for the envoy in Jinkou, how can he have the leisure to come to my Burrow?" Yuan Rongzu asked while eating the meat porridge brought by the attendant.

Pei Zhaoming knew that the Yuan clan was a martial artist, read less poetry and books, and did not know etiquette. For his martial madness, the emperor often showed more tolerance, so he was not surprised in his heart, and said: "In the afternoon, I have met the northern envoy in Jinkou, and I am about to go to Guangling immediately, but the identity of the northern envoy is extraordinary, and Zhaoming does not dare to slack off." Today, I came to see the Jijie (Yuan Rongzu is the governor of the Jijie), I want to ask the Jijie to appoint a general, and the generals will escort the northern envoy to Guabu to cross the river. ”

Yuan Rongzu put down the spoon, thought about it for a while, and said, "What Pei Shilang invited was for Yuan. Yuan was edicted to supervise the Huai army, and his responsibilities were not shallow. In the case of military law, no imperial court edict is allowed to privately transfer soldiers, and Pei Shilang also knows this section. If there is a decree from His Majesty or the Five Soldiers, Yuan will immediately select and transfer the sergeant. If there was no edict, Yuan would not dare to show favoritism. ”

"Pei did not have an edict. It's just that you have the right to do things, and please ask a few sergeants to be recruited with moderation. In the past, the northern envoy went to Jiankang, but there were only a dozen people, and now the prince of the Northern Dynasty is the envoy, accompanied by dozens of people. And this matter is known to Jiangzuo Shishu, and there are many Huainan Shijia who have made enemies with the Northern Dynasty because of war. In the past, Xue Andu and other foreign rebels attracted captives, and the Song family was in danger of the war, so the Huainan garrison crossed to the north on time and fought with the captives in the Qingsi domain. Helplessly, the cold and snow fell in the sky, the army rushed out of the division, the clothes could not be ready, the number of battles was north, tens of thousands of people were killed, Surabaya was frozen, and most of the people who were frozen and broke their fingers. After that, the crippled people, the northern captives drove Huainan, and their people could not return to the army, and most of them flowed in Huainan Prefectures. If they gather together when they hear the news, regardless of the great plans of the imperial court, kill and injure small people in the north, and if there are traitors who take the opportunity to spread rumors and gather people to make trouble, then not only will the border be full of dust, but the Jianghuai region will also become an enemy country, and I am afraid that the situation will be out of control. Please focus on the overall situation and prevent the slightest slight. If Your Majesty is angry with this, he will be the first to hold the festival. ”

Yuan Rongzu stirred the porridge with a spoon, and was silent for a long time before standing up and saying, "This matter is very important, Pei Shilang please wait here for a while." Yuan went to discuss with his subordinates first, and then replied to Pei Shilang. ”

He also knew that what Pei Zhaoming said was still reasonable. It's unlikely, but if it does, it's bad. If the emperor knew that he had not accepted Pei Zhaoming's suggestion, it was very likely that he would be angry with him. However, if you agree to appoint sergeants, it will take at least hundreds of people, and so many people are not a trivial matter. This decision was not so easy to make.

Pei Zhaoming sat and waited in the side hall, drank tea a few times, went to the toilet twice, and only saw Yuan Rongzu walk out with a letter in his hand for about half an hour.

Pei Zhaoming stood up, greeted him and said, "I don't know what the festival is talking about?" ”

"The squire is eloquent, and he is worthy of being able to get His Majesty's personal orders several times, and he was ordered to send a famous man to Jiangbei. Pei Shilang's invitation, Yuan agreed. It's just that the stakes are very high, and Yuan sent his nephew to go to the capital with Pei Shilang. This is a sparse performance on a certain wall, and Pei Shilang is also invited to serve the supreme. ”

Pei Zhaoming stepped forward, took Yuan Rongzu's sparse watch with both hands, and said: "The subordinates are not very impressed. Hold the festival and play sparsely, and Zhaoming should be in front of the emperor. ”

Yuan Rongzu nodded and said, "I'm tired of Pei Shilang." The squire can wait with the northern envoy in the south of the city, and the nephew orders the army and horses, and immediately goes to the south of the city. ”

Pei Zhaoming bowed his hand, put the sparse watch in his sleeve, turned around and walked out the door.

Yuan Rongzu stood at the foot of the doorway, looked at Pei Zhaoming's back, and suddenly said: "The waiter is wonderful, Yuan is admired, but why was he succumbed to the child in the captive realm that day?" ”

Pei Zhaoming turned around and said with a smile: "Although the mouth is wise, it is difficult to surrender by force." There is Su Qin and Zhang Yi's eloquence, and it is difficult to use it. ”

After that, he bowed his hand slightly.

Yuan Rongzu stood for a moment, his face slightly ashamed.
