Chapter 52, Pei Shuo and Xue Tao
When he arrived in Jicheng, he was relieved to see that the chaos was not too hot, and basically maintained the situation when he reported to Chang'an. When he entered the city to meet Pei Cui, he immediately read out the book of the Xingtai system, took over the history of Qinzhou Assassin, and renamed Pei Cui as the history of Yongzhou Assassin.
Pei Gongyan felt very uncomfortable, although this kind of thing was not unexpected, but it was inevitable that he still had certain illusions before: the chaos is not very strong, and I have not been in office for a long time, Wenyue should be able to let me clean it up by myself. Therefore, after receiving the edict, he was quite annoyed, so he immediately said: "I am not virtuous, I have the trust of the imperial court, so I have caused chaos in Longshang, where is the face to transfer to another state?" It is better to beg for bones and seek a place to hide. β
You Yao showed a formulaic smile and comforted him: "Why should Pei Gong be decadent? The former Sima Bao was in Jicheng, he was immoral, the criminal administration was not repaired, the hearts of the people in a state were half disobedient; Soon after the country first restored Qinzhou, Pei Gong took office, but in a hurry for a few months, this chaos was left by Sima Bao, and it must not be Pei Gong's fault. Then he ordered someone to take a letter and handed it to Pei Cui with both hands: "This Chang'an Pei Sima ordered me to hand it over to Pei Gong, and the public will read it first, and then make plans before it is too late." β
Pei Wei had long expected what kind of mood Pei Cui would be after being ordered, so he repeatedly persuaded in his letters, saying that although you are responsible for this rebellion, brother, you are not so bad as to deprive you of the post of assassin; It's just that the enemy is at present, and Qinzhou should be quiet, those who advocate chaos should be killed, and those who rebel may be temporarily disposed of. The younger brother thought that his brother was a great talent, and he should actually guard the pastor, so he played the big Sima and waited for the vacant position - if the big Sima didn't believe in the brother, he wouldn't let you transfer to the Yongzhou assassin history.
Finally, he wrote: "Hurriedly counting, it is difficult to reach the meaning, and I hope that my brother will return to Chang'an in a hurry, so that my brother can understand my brother even more." Although the sons and nephews of my brother see Ren Xingtai, they are the descendants after all, and it is inevitable that they will be negligent, so how can my generation not be compared with each other, so that I can smell the joy of the family? β
Pei Cui saw that his intentions were very sincere, so he temporarily retired-I have to go to Chang'an to meet Wen Ji, talk about it, and then make plans, so that I will not be ridiculed by the juniors and only think about personal honor and disgrace, regardless of the family business. So he handed over to the You Yao Office, and finally handed a piece of paper to You Yao, You Ziyuan took it and took a look, only to see a large list of names listed on it, basically all of them are the surnames of Tianshui and Luoyang counties, what is the surname of Jiang, the surname of Yang, the surname of Di, the surname of Duan......
Pei Cui said to him: "These are all people who advocate chaos, if Qing doesn't come, I will kill them after I am peaceful." And Qing has taken over the responsibility of Qinzhou, but it is all by Qing - but when you know that they are cunning, if you don't kill them now, it will be a disaster for the future. β
You Ya bowed down and took the wooden slip into his bosom to make a note of itβof course, whether he would do it or not, and kill them all, he had to investigate and weigh them all before he had to say it himself.
Pei Cui immediately dressed up and went straight to Chang'an, which happened to arrive three days after Pei Gai's expedition. When Pei Wei heard the news, he personally went out of the city to greet him, and invited Pei Cui into his mansion, and juniors such as Pei Xu, Pei Tong, etc. came to visit.
That night, the second Pei sat down in the study to talk, and Pei Wei once again took the trouble to persuade Pei Cui, but the tone was not as soft as in the letter. Since you are in person, you might as well say something more openly, such as: The matter of Qinzhou, it is indeed you who did something wrong-
"Brother's heart, brother is also surnamed Pei, don't you know? However, when Qinzhou first recovered, the place was not quiet, so for the local tyrants and villains of their generation, they should also be slowly plotted, and the methods of the brothers were inevitably tricky and ruthless. Although Hu is weak and strong, Wen Yue has to face the enemy in the east, and in his rear, he naturally does not like to hear the alarm, so his brother's governance really disappoints him......"
Seeing that Pei Cui's face gradually became gloomy, Pei Wei also knew that he could not finish his words, so he hurriedly changed the conversation to persuade Pei Cui, saying that we have the same surname after all, and we are a family, even if Pei should be dissatisfied with you, he will not easily punish his uncle, so under my suggestion, I will reappoint you as the assassin of Yongzhou, hoping that without the stimulation of the local tyrants in Qinzhou, you can really show your talents.
"Brother, now Luoyang, Chang'an, although there are many Pei surnames, they are all children, and those who are not confused by the years are only me and my brother. Although Wenyue is glorious, it is even more his father, Pei's sages, but it is not as far away as in the past.
"Shiyun's 'Eight Pei Fang Eight Kings', in fact, Pei has many kings, such as Wang Yifu's generation, empty talk and misleading the country, how can he be regarded as a master? Unfortunately, it is unknown what happened to them, but they fell one after another...... If Jingsheng and the Taoist period are here, and the text is agreed together, then you and I can rest on our shoulders. β
"Eight Pei" and "Eight Kings" are not of the same generation, Pei Hui, Pei Kai, etc., the older generation in "Eight Pei", needless to say, expect them to live a little longer and help Pei Cai, that is a joke - even if it is Pei Wei and Pei Cui, who are of the same generation as Pei Wei and Pei Cui, if he is still alive, what should he do if he can have a son Pei?
But in addition to his father Pei Miao, who is a generation older than Pei Gai, there are also Pei Yao and Pei Miao, as well as Pei Shao, who is not in the "Eight Pei", but whose reputation is close to Pei Shao. Pei Wei said that it was a pity that they were "unknown", and they did not meet a good superior, so they fell - this "unknown" refers to Sima Yue, the martial king of the East China Sea.
Thinking that Sima Yue and Wang Yan formed an alliance back then, Wang Yannai invoked Zhu Pei into the Yue Shogunate, and sent most of his brothers and nephews to assist the third person in the group, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, mainly to facilitate the run to the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, although Pei Yao was Wang Yan's son-in-law, he was jealous of Sima Yue's son, Sima Bi, and even murdered him. Pei Miao, Pei Jingsheng and Pei Shao Pei Dao participated in Sima Yue's military together, but they all died one after another due to overwork and worries about state affairs.
To this day, some people still believe that if one of Pei Jingsheng or Pei Dao is still alive, he will be able to stop Wang Yan's retrograde, and even if he does not win, he will not throw all the 100,000 troops in Ningping City, Kuxian County.
In the original history, after the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with Wang Dao as the commonplace, Wang Maohong sighed and said: "Pei Daoqi and Liu Wangqiao (Liu Chou) are here, and I am not allowed to ascend to this position alone." β
- Of course, Pei Gai doesn't see it that way, in fact, he can't avoid slandering his nominal father Pei Yan. After all, when it comes to evaluating characters, the main thing is to look at the family background, then to look at the manners, and the third to look at the knowledge, as for whether they can really do anything, it is basically not in the scope of consideration. Otherwise, how could even the garbage king Yifu be coaxed to be held very high? Even if Wang Dao and Wang Dun are not really talented in determining the country and the country, then Pei Wei, Pei Miao, Pei Yao, and even Pei Shao, who are as famous as them, how strong can they be?
Pei Wei is different, he has always admired those brothers of the same clan - mainly he has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the talents, abilities, and temperaments of his brothers after middle age - so he said to Pei Cui, the talented people of our generation in the old Pei family are all almost dead, Pei Xian was forced to reluctantly obey the slaves, and now the only ones who can be mentioned are you and me. Even if it is indiscriminate, if my brother does not make an appointment with Wen again, how can his career be stable, and how can my Pei family be reborn?
After all, Wenyue is still young, don't look at the fact that you are now ruling for the imperial court, staying in Taiwan Guanzhong, this building is difficult to build, once there is a slight negligence, it collapses very quickly, how can we not stay around and escort him?
When Pei Cui heard this, although his mood was heavy, the idea of resigning was invisibly lightened. He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Pei Wei: "I heard that Uncle Hongde is in Wenxi and is in charge of the affairs of the clan, I don't know if he may be summoned to use it?" β
Pei Wei's face sank slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Don't mention Hongde, Wenyue hates him for a long time......"
ββββββββββ
Pei Shuo and Pei Hongde, both heard about the Xi clan affairs, but deliberately did not contact Pei Gai, Pei should repeatedly send people to the east, but they were not allowed to enter, and recently heard that when Liu Cangxi committed the crime, Pei Shuo was really in the army...... Then how could he not suspect that Pei Shuo had a heart attached to Hu and hated him deeply?
Let's say that since Liu Cang was assassinated, the 40,000 Hu army collapsed in an instant, and all the generals had no way out, and they were at a loss. Wuya General Li Jingnian immediately drew his sword in front of Liu Cang's corpse and killed himself, Qiao Tai also wanted to kill himself, but was pulled by General Hu Yanshi of Dangjin, and persuaded him: "The head of the Son of Heaven has not been found, and the body has not been buried, the coffin of the first emperor is parked in the wild, how can Qiao Gong just ignore it?" That being the case, I might as well wait for the coffin of the Son of Heaven to return to Pingyang, although the acting king is a false name, after all, it is the blood of the first emperor, even if he is the king, it is impossible to ......"
Qiao Tai said that the head of the Son of Heaven is estimated to be impossible to find back - "The Jin family conspired against him, killed the monarch and left, neither north to Pingyang, but must go south to Luoyang, the Jin people hate the Son of Heaven deeply, and must hang his head on the penny pole...... "As for the corpse, you can bury it, and the coffin of the first emperor will also be escorted back to Pingyang by youββ
"I came out of Pingyang with the first emperor Zigong and the seven seals, and King Yong will hate me to the bone; Even if I am magnanimous, if I ask where the Seven Seals are, how should I reply? "Where do I have the face to go back to see Liu Heng and Liu Yao?
Hu Yanshi repeatedly persuaded and said: "The country is like this, and we are deeply favored by the first emperor, and it is better to be good and help his lonely, or die in battle the next day, than to be afraid of sin and kill ourselves." For example, in the case of the Zhao orphans, Li Jingnian has already been the grandson of the Gongsun first, how can we not be Cheng Ying? β
Qiao Tai finally dispelled the idea of suicide, but said that I could not go back to Pingyang - "Jun Ke escorted the coffin of the first emperor and returned to Pingyang, and I went south to guard Linfen and Jiangyi." When the Jin people heard that our country was in turmoil, they would inevitably commit crimes in the north, so if I could hold the two cities, I could also reduce my guilt a little; If you can't defend it, you will die with the city and live up to the grace of the emperor! β
So he gathered thousands of remnants, first found a beautiful place, and secretly buried Liu Cang, and then the two Hu generals shed tears and said goodbye, Hu Yanshi escorted Liu Cong's coffin back to Pingyang, and Qiao Tai came straight to Linfen and Jiangyi.
In the cities of Linfen and Jiangyi, there are still two or three thousand soldiers and horses left behind, but before that, the Jin family passed by and hurriedly picked up their families, and the hearts of the people in the city began to be unstable, resulting in rumors flying all over the sky. Immediately, some deserters returned-because many of them were soldiers temporarily recruited by Liu Cang in the two counties-so when he heard the news that Liu Cang had died, he made a "hula" sound, and the defenders fled, and even the people in the city helped the old and the young, and went out of the city to hide in the countryside.
Xue Tao and Pei Shuo were not coerced by Liu Cang to go north, but were detained in Jiangyi City. Xue Tao suddenly saw that the guards had fled one after another, so he found out the news and hurriedly escaped to find Pei Shuo. Pei Shuo was still ignorant, and after listening to Xue Tao's explanation, he was willing to run away with him.
Xue Tao had the courage, that is, he took advantage of the chaos to snatch a carriage in the city to settle Pei Shuo, hurried out of Jiangyi City, and fled back to Hedong County in one breath. Pei Shuo wanted to say goodbye to Xue Tao before the fork in the road, but Xue Tao said: "Mr. Lao, if you can't protect him to return to your hometown, if there is a bad pond on the way, won't I end up with virtue?" "Insist on sending Pei Shuo back to Wenxi's house.
In fact, sending Pei Shuo is fake, and taking the opportunity to avoid trouble is true. Xue Tao is not stupid, based on Xue Ning's attitude and words that he saw in front of Xue Qiangbi that day, he knew that this brother had already had a different heart, he had been away from home for a long time, and the news was closed, so he really didn't know whether Xue Ning had mastered the politics of the whole clan. Once Xue Ning is in power, but he escapes alone at this time, what fate he may fall into, he can really imagine it with his toes.
Therefore, he planned to flee to Pei's house first to avoid trouble, and asked Pei Shuo to help find out the situation in the Xue clan in Fenyin. If Xue Ning has not completely succeeded, then let the people of the Xue clan who still support him come to the Pei family and take him back; If Xue Ning is already in power, he can use the power of the Pei family to tell him about the conditions - the worst, take over his wife and children, and I will live in the Pei family for the time being, and my personal safety can be guaranteed.
After all, I married the daughter of the Pei family, I am the son-in-law of the Pei family, and the Pei family is between my brothers, how can I not be inclined to me?
Pei Shuo was detained in Hu Ying, and he was still able to get supplies materially, but he suffered a great blow mentally, resulting in just a few months, his beard and hair were all white, as if he was seven or eight years old, and his originally shrewd mind gradually became less bright, and he couldn't see through what Xue Tao was thinking at all. He was also very grateful for Xue Tao's escort, and kept saying on the way: No matter how turbulent the situation is, as long as you and my two families work together, no matter how difficult the days are, they can get through it smoothly......
Who would have thought that he had just approached Wenxi County, and when he met the Jin army, he tied up Xue Tao and came to see Zhen Sui in a carriage.
The main Xue Tao is different from Pei Shuo after all, he was awarded the title of general of the Jin Dynasty by Liu Cang, and worshiped the Marquis of Fenyin County, not only is the daily worship more advanced than the old man Pei, but also gives armor - but easily does not give weapons - so this time he fled, Xue Tao put on the armor, and grabbed a long knife on the way. So since there are soldiers and armor, and the Jin army encounters them, they naturally think that they are armed personnel who are not on our side, how can they be easily let go?
He immediately sent him to report to Zhen Sui - Zhen Sui was camping outside the city and was planning to attack Wenxi County - saying that he suspected that Pei Shuo was a Hu official who escaped from Wenxi County, because it was clear that a silver armor general drove him...... Zhen was overjoyed and said that I was about to inquire about the situation in the city, and if I didn't want someone to send it to the door, I would quickly escort the master for interrogation.
Pei and Xue were still ignorant, that is, they were pushed to Zhen Sui - among them, Xue Tao was stripped of his armor and tied with a rope, Pei Shuo was not bound, mainly looking at the old man's old age, not afraid of him running, and the Jin soldiers were worried that if the attack was a little heavier, the old man would die, and it was difficult to explain to General Zhen.
Pei Shuo raised his eyes and saw that it was the banner of the Jin familyβin other words, in these years, the distinction between the enemy and me is all based on the banner, and there is no difference in military uniforms at allβso he immediately bowed his hand to Zhen Suiyi: "May I ask the general how to call him?" The old man Pei Shuo is also ......" pointed at Xue Tao: "This is Fenyin Xue Tao, it is not a Han official and a Han general......"
Zhen Sui didn't listen to the names of the two of them, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered Xue Tao to be beheaded and reported, and Pei Shuo was escorted to the prisoner car and sent to Chang'an!
