Wang Zhuo and Wang Yu brothers, with a bell, went straight to Luoyang to accept it naturally, and gave them a house, and there was no shortage of offerings, but the two sides always couldn't talk about how to appoint them. Therefore, after Wang Zhuo stayed in Luoyang for more than a month, he was discouraged and disappointed, led his brother and Zhongsheng, asked Zu Ti for the plate fee, and turned to Chang'an to pay tribute to Pei.

On this day, in Pei's mansion, Wang Wenxuan recounted his experience over the years, Wang Yu interjected from time to time to add, and the two brothers cried while talking, their faces were as if they had opened a canal, with tears in the east and snot in the west

Pei should listen to their experience, it is indeed tortuous and thrilling, but he doesn't believe many of the details - Wang Zhuo, you are really so capable of observing words and colors, can you see the murderous aura on other people's faces? Did you really swear to serve your country? It's okay to put powder on your face, but as for the gold, you can also paste a large piece, it's really too much, how to disturb people?

Of course, it was inconvenient for him to wear it, but after Wang Zhuo finally stopped talking, he asked kindly: "If the prince doesn't stay in Luoyang, will he not be hired without an ancestor?" Wang Zhuo sighed and said: "Since I inherit the lord of my ancestor and father, I will not be able to enter the curtain as a guest."

Pei should bow slightly, and it makes sense to say this in his heart, but you, the founding county prince, are just a false name, and you have been displaced for so long, why do you still refuse to put down the shelf, and you have to hold it hard? Immediately, I heard Wang Zhuo continue: "The ancestor refuses to do anything with my county and country."

Pei Caixin said in a big tone, he wanted to be the county guard and the minister of the country when he came up, that is an important official close to the people, how can he be lightly appointed? But after thinking about it again, Shou and Xiang are originally five grades, which are the same as Wang Zhuo's original job grades, so it may not be too much to ask for such a requirement

immediately smiled: "I don't have anything to do with the prince today, and I can talk to the prince" paused, and said: "Since the prince has come to Chang'an, he is still ordered to give things, how about it?" "This kind of gentleman is really useless, it's just used as a bridge to communicate with the Taiyuan Wang family, so continue to give him a false job.

Wang Zhuo pleaded a little depressedly: "Please also take responsibility." ”

Pei Gai said perfunctorily that I really can't take it out now-"The prince and succumb first, and in time, there will be a real grant." "Let's draw a flatbread and hang it in front of you. Then he changed the topic: "Gongyun came with the bell, where is the bell?" ”

Wang Yu said that the identity of the bell was too low, so he waited outside the door and it was inconvenient to ask for advice. Pei Gai waved his hand: "Since you are kind to the second gentleman, you can order him to enter and see each other." ”

The order went down, and the time was not long, and when the bell rang, Zhong Aihua immediately straightened his clothes and entered the room to worship. Pei Cai took a closer look, this bell was about thirty years old, medium build, broad shoulders and thick back, with a big round face, although he was slightly thin, his skeleton did not fall, and his complexion was much whiter than that of the two kings. Pei Gai asked Zhong Sheng: "Qing protects the Duke of Jingling and Minyang Hou De'an, and the credit is not small, what do you want to ask me for now?" ”

Zhong Sheng replied: "I only want to serve Pei Gong." ”

Pei Cai glanced at Wang Zhuo, and said in his heart that you look at this person, you know how to advance and retreat better than you, and you can talk a lot. Then he asked Zhong Sheng again: "Since Qing has been ordered to stay in the family business of the Changshe, can he be out of the house?" ”

Zhong Sheng replied earnestly: "Who does not want a man to be alive?" The grass people are not the descendants of the Yingchuan Zhong family, and the bloodline is relatively sparse, so there is no way to go to the official career, and now it is because of the gift of the Duke of Jingling and the Marquis of Minyang, who came to Chang'an to seek a job. I don't want to be famous, but I can serve the country and serve the country, so that my life is worthwhile. ”

Pei Gai secretly said I believe this - the Hanmen scholars, or the family is biased, there is no promotion level, so I want to use the banner of "serving the country" to gradually improve the status of myself and the Xing clan for a reason, which is normal. As for the children of eunuchs like Wang Zhuo and Wang Yu, they are very satisfied if they can pull back their original family property, how many people can really be self-motivated?

So he asked the bell three times: "Wen Qing is in Huoyang Mountain, personally obsessed with the elderly, diligent in farming, is it true?" ”

Zhong Sheng replied that it was right, and Wang Zhuo and Wang Yu next to him also guaranteed him. Pei Gai said: "We gather people in Guanzhong to reclaim the land, and Qing can be the captain of the farmer." ”

Jin has no tuntian system, Pei should copy the official system of Cao Wei's early days, the people are fifty people for a tun, order Sima, and then one level higher is the Diannong Duwei, the area under its jurisdiction, the households, equivalent to the next county - Cao Wei later dismissed the Tuntian system, and many Diannong Duwei was directly transformed into the county magistrate - the eighth product. After all, the bell is considered to be from a high-ranking family, and it is more suitable to start with eight products.

Zhong Sheng didn't dare to bargain, and immediately bowed his head and thanked him. Pei Gai immediately turned to Wang Yu again: "Can Wang Jun be willing to keep Shang Shulang?" "Jin system Shangshu Shi belongs to 35 Cao, put Shang Shulang 23 people, the sixth product, of which the first person is called "Shou Shang Lang", one year expires, through the assessment, is Shang Shulang, three years at the end, through the assessment, is called the waiter. At present, although the affairs of Shangshu are complicated, it is because of the lack of personnel, if there are enough people, they will govern this state, and there will be a lot of leisure. So Pei should not think about what position is suitable for Wang Maoxuan for a while, think about his background, title, and start from the sixth grade - then keep Shang Shulang first, at least you can afford the writing work, right?

Who wants Wang Yu to wave his hand and excuse himself, saying: "I have no eunuch intentions, but please be a brother's family Lingkeye." "My brother is going to be an official, I'll help him take care of the house, I came along, and I really didn't come to ask for an official. Wang Zhuo said, "I am willing to keep Shang Shulang." ”

Pei Cai glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Isn't it too much?" "With your old grade, this is a downgrade, it's not appropriate.

You must know that the officials of these years, especially the high-ranking eunuchs, can be promoted or demoted, and unless they are convicted and punished, there is no possibility of dismissal and demotion. You are not guilty, how can I demote you?

Wang Zhuo replied: "In the past, my brother abandoned the first emperor and left, and he couldn't keep the festival and martyr the country, which was a crime. Then he told Pei Gai with a sincere attitude: "Zhuo Wei wants to serve the country, although Shang Shulang is humble, he can do practical things, and he wishes to do what he wants, and he also asks Pei Gong Yucheng." ”

Pei Gai had no choice but to reluctantly agree to such a conversation, and his original interest in listening to the story gradually faded, and after a few more perfunctory words, he sent off the guest.

Brother Wang Zhuo and Zhong Sheng said goodbye, and were about to go out, when they suddenly saw the Pei doorman leading a person to the main hall in a hurry. Wang Zhuo glanced at the man, couldn't help frowning, and said to his brother, you wait for me at the door, I still have a word, I forgot to say it to Pei Gong

Then he lifted his skirt and rushed back. Pei Cai heard the report, he was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly received him, Wang Zhuo asked bluntly: "I saw that the noble servant brought someone here, and it seemed that he wanted to see Pei Gong, but I don't know who it is?" ”

Pei Cai frowned slightly, did not answer directly, and asked, "Does the public know his person?" ”

Wang Zhuo said that I don't recognize it, but-"His face has a gloomy color, and the killing intent rises between his eyebrows, which may not be conducive to Pei Gongye, Pei Gongqi is cautious!" ”

——————————

The person brought in by the doorman claimed to be named Pei Tan, who was a branch of the Pei family, and was ordered to sneak to Chang'an to see Pei Gai.

Pei should have wanted to contact the people in his hometown for a long time. He knew that although the Pei clan's main branch and several main branches were scattered all over the country, it was because they were officials, and most of the other sparse children who failed to become officials still stayed in Wenxi's hometown and guarded the base. There are many people in a big family like this, even if Hu Han occupies Hedong, he doesn't dare to press too hard, as long as they are nominally willing to follow, most of them turn one eye and close one eye, so they can continue to dominate the township.

In particular, there is a Xue family in Hedong, living in Fenyin, Dongting area, its ancestor Xue Lan, the end of the Han Dynasty with Liu Bei into Shu, after the destruction of Shu, the family was moved to Hedong, for the widow of the country, so the portal is not high. But there are many members of the Xue family, and they are also very capable of fighting, from Hu Han to Former Zhao, Later Zhao, and even Former Qin, they have always refused to give in. When it comes to the buds, it is said that "the general sect is strong, Wei Zhenhe is auxiliary, and Murong Yongyu is in Chenchuan", and after Qin Yao Xing humbly resigned from the thick coin, he was recruited as the right Guanglu doctor, the seven soldiers Shangshu, and Feng Yi County Gong.

Since then, the Xue family has been combined with the northern regime, and in the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, it became the surname of Hedong - and finally produced the generals Xue Rengui and Xue Ne's father and son.

The Pei family and the Xue family echo each other, at present, it is difficult to control in Hedong, and Hu Hanzheng is only restrained, for Pei Gai, this is a big help to cut down Hu in the future, how can he not contact him? From the first time he entered the customs and when he entered Yi in the north, he sent people to visit, but because of Hu Han's strict guards, he went back several times. I can't imagine that now my hometown has taken the initiative to send someone over - think about it, the news that I broke Liu Yao and then took charge of the Jin government, no matter how slowly it spreads, it will be used to spread to Wenxi.

On this day, the Wang brothers and Zhong Sheng had just retired, and a report came from the door, saying that Pei Tan asked to see him, and Pei should be overjoyed and summoned immediately. But then Wang Zhuo turned back, with his status and status, of course, Pei Cai could only let Pei Tan wait outside the hall and see Wang Zhuo first. Who would think that Wang Wenxuan would open his mouth and say that this Pei Tan "has a gloomy face, and the killing intent rises between his eyebrows, which may not be conducive to Pei Gongye"!

Pei should be suspicious, and he could only bow his hand to Wang Zhuo: "Obey the teachings of the prince." ”

Wang Zhuo withdrew, and Pei Cai summoned Pei Tan to see him. As soon as this Pei Tan entered the door, he immediately cried loudly and shouted: "I don't expect to see my brother's face today!" As he spoke, he pounced directly, as if he wanted to hug his thighs

It seems that it is indeed a true outpouring of feelings, if it were not for Wang Zhuo's words, Pei should probably let him hug him, but after all, he left a shadow in his heart, so he straightened his waist, raised his right hand, and shouted: "Stop, don't get close!" Then he commanded the servant: "Search him first." ”

However, Pei Tan had no intention of stopping, especially when he heard Pei Gai say that he wanted to search his body, he pounced faster, looked closer, and didn't know where his right hand was, and actually took out a dagger with a cold light and stabbed Pei Gai in the chest!

Pei Gai was taken aback, he was originally sitting on the case, but just now he summoned the Wang brothers, and after listening to them tell the legendary story for a long time, he had already sat with numb legs, and he couldn't jump up at all for a while. Several cases turned up, directly attacking Pei Tan's door, Pei Tan kept coming, only used his left hand to open a few cases, and the dagger in his hand continued to stab at Pei Gai.

Pei Caixin said badly, I couldn't get up for a while, and I couldn't draw the long sword under my waist, and there was nothing at hand to stop as the soul of the next generation, he didn't like to kneel and sit, and he usually sat on the couch without etiquette at home, even if he was a common person, he had to support a few to facilitate the shift of gravity at any time and soothe his legs and feet. But what I saw today was a duke and a marquis, and in order to show respect, there was no need to rely on it

Instinctively reached out and touched a long object, which turned out to be a three-foot bamboo cane that gradually developed a habit and never left his body. Pei Cai immediately copied the bamboo cane, and when he saw that the dagger was about to come in front of him, he hurriedly waved the bamboo cane, which was to pump it fiercely.

Unexpectedly, the dagger was sharp, the bamboo cane swung down, although the dagger was temporarily crooked, but it was also cut into two by the blade, the half that Pei Gai was holding in his hand was estimated to be as long as a brush Pei Tan missed a blow, and his body staggered slightly, but he quickly stabilized, the dagger went around in a circle, and stabbed it from the side, heading towards Pei Gai's chest - and until this time, Pei Gai had just pulled out a leg from under his buttocks

There are servants and slaves next to them, but none of them can fight, and they are all dumbfounded, jumping into a state of "hard straightness" - even if this state passes, it is estimated that half of them will fall to the sky, half of them will flee in the wilderness, and there will be no one who can muster up the courage to come to the rescue in a hurry. Besides, they don't have weapons in their hands, even if they come over, unless they sacrifice themselves to savior and let Pei Tan stab him first, what effect can it do?

Pei's own part, but most of the guards were under the hall, their faces were facing outward, and when they heard the voice, they quickly turned their heads, and they were already a beat slower, and they wanted to rush to the hall in time to rescue, but they couldn't slow down at all. Pei Caixin said Why am I carrying it so much, who would have thought that he would encounter assassins in his own family? [Looking at the dagger coming with a strong wind, I can't help but secretly scream: "My life is over!] ”

But before he died, what he remembered in his mind was the scene of his attack on Shi Le with jade Ruyi in Hu Ying a few years ago, and he didn't know why, he was thinking: If I had such a sharp dagger in my hand in the past, maybe Shi Le would really die?

Time seemed to slow down instantly, Pei Cai watched the dagger approach his chest inch by inch, although he instinctively tilted his body to the side, exhaled and retracted his chest, but it was bound to be useless - he could just let himself die a few milliseconds late. But at this time, a muffled sound was suddenly heard, and the dagger in Pei Tan's hand suddenly lost its head, deviated to the side, and with a "poof" sound, it plunged into the leg that was overturned on the ground.

Time seemed to speed up again in an instant, and Pei Gai finally jumped up, and took three steps back in a row. Only then did he realize that it was Xun Guanniang who was holding a copper lamp with both hands and smashed it on Pei Tan's shoulder from the side and back.
