When Liang Fen came out of Suofu, it was already the middle of the night, he stepped into the carriage under the pull of a participant, patted the shoulder of the emperor, and the emperor immediately waved the whip, "drank", drove the horse with four hooves, and slowly walked forward.

The ginseng approached Liang Fen and asked in a low voice, "How?" ”

Liang Fen didn't answer, just nodded his chin slightly.

Shen Cheng said: "In this way, does Situ really want to abandon Suo Juxiu?" ”

Liang Fen's long beard trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he also replied in a low voice: "It's not that I abandon them, but they abandon the country's society!" At a time when Fang is in a difficult situation, he can't enter but the thieves are all in Guanlong, and he can't retreat in harmony with his peers and unite people's hearts, but he is intriguing and plotting for his own sake, don't you think that under the nest, there will be no eggs?

"You can know that I regard today's Chang'an as yesterday's Luoyang, and Suo Juxiu is like the martial king of the East China Sea (Sima Yue), although Koji Gongke has no way to dominate it, its momentum seems to be similar...... In the past, the martial king of the East China Sea abandoned Luoyang and went to conquer the Taoist generals, so there was the Yongjia Rebellion, and the filial piety of the Son of Heaven was not in Hu; If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be difficult to save today......"

The figure of the participant trembled slightly: "Why is this so?" ”

"People have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries," Liang Fen smiled slightly bitterly, "The hometown is stable, and it is half in the hands of thieves, if Chang'an cannot be defended, stability will also fall, then where else can my Liang family go?" Besides, I was once in Hu, and I was lucky to get rid of it, how can I be willing to be humiliated again? I don't believe that Zu Shi is as childish as Suo Juxiu! ”

Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "I thought that Situ was pinning his hopes on Pei Wenyue......"

Liang Fen smiled: "When I saw that Zu asked Pei Wen to ask for the history of Sizhou, I thought he had no intention of entering the customs, right?" No, but Suo Juxiu is notorious, and Zu Shizhi didn't dare to come rashly, so Pei Wen asked him to go first and test us. Pei Wenyue is unwilling to abandon Xu Fang's foundation, Ming, how can the ancestors want to abandon Yuzhou? And if Yu and Xu are abandoned, Jiangdong will take advantage of the vain.

"That's why Pei Wenyue will not be drowned in Chang'an for a long time, and will return to Xuzhou, and at that time, he will change his ancestors to enter the customs. Zu Shizhi was in charge of the military and political affairs of Chang'an, and supervised the division, Yong, Yan, and Yu, and joined Xu Fang Pei's family in the east, and no one in the world could control it...... And Suo Juxiu and even Ko Gongke will inevitably obstruct it, and the two will fight, which will only benefit the Hu people, and it will not benefit the country's society. I plan for the world, so I have to abandon Suo Mou'er......"

"In that case, Situ Xinyi should also hint at Pei Wenyue's knowledge."

Liang Fen bowed slightly: "Let's see you in the future, I'll see if this person who has been given a heavy responsibility by Zu Shizhi and regards him as an arm, how kind of person he is." If he has half the talent of his father, he can make a big plan. ”

——————————

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Gai had slept for less than three hours before getting up early. After washing and putting on the court clothes, he rode to the small city of Chang'an, accompanied by Pei Wei and others.

In fact, with Pei Gai's status, he should have taken a car instead of riding a horse, but he rode all the way into the customs, where did he find the carriage in a hurry? If it is a peaceful year, you can borrow three or five cars casually, but in today's Chang'an City, it is estimated that including the Son of Heaven, the number of cars is less than a palm, and there is really nowhere to touch.

As he walked forward, Pei Cai carefully examined the internal and external structure and defense of the small city. Line in the middle of the small city, covers an area of the former Luoyang palace city, even far less than Jiankang's Langya Palace, exaggerated to say, Pei should enter the small city, to the line at the door, as soon as you enter the gate, you can enter the palace, and then it is estimated that through the palace, it is the back door......

When he came to the door of the "palace", there was already an official waiting here, and when he saw Pei Cai coming, he quickly raised his right hand, palm facing forward, asked him to stop, and asked: "Is the person who came from Julu County?" Pei Gai nodded and said: "It's Pei Gai, Your Excellency is ......" The official hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Zhang Wei, the last official of the Yellow Gate, please dismount Pei Gong, and I will lead Pei Gong to meet the Son of Heaven." ”

The palace is called "Tai Chi", which is modeled after the Tai Chi Hall of Luoyang Palace in the old days, but the scale is much smaller, and Pei Cai feels that the place where he lives in Huaiyin (the county office is renovated) may be slightly more spacious than here. Zhang Wei led Pei Cai to wait in front of the palace, and reported that he had entered the palace, the time was not big, and the eunuch announced loudly, Pei should hurriedly follow the rules to correct the crown and dust off his clothes, and then bowed his waist, hurriedly went up the stairs, took off his shoes, removed his sword, and crossed the threshold.

This set of etiquette was taught by my father and brother since I was a child, and after countless exercises, even if the old soul is broken, this body can instinctively complete a series of movements, the posture is absolutely standard, and the etiquette is impeccable. When he entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven asked to take a seat, Pei Gai raised his head and looked at Sima Ye who was sitting behind the imperial case.

Sima Ye is only sixteen years old this year, that is, half the eldest child, although he has developed very well, his bones have basically grown, but he still has a childish face, and his lips are hairless. Pei Caixin said, no wonder Sima Rui and Sima Bao dare to disobey you, who is willing to listen to a high school student...... Maybe it's still the words of a junior high school boy? Besides, how can you have your own words, aren't they all controlled by the ministers around you?

However, there is no way, although the Sima family in Hanoi has prospered for many generations, and Sima Fang's adult sons have eight - it is called "Sima Bada" - and then Sima Yi gave birth to nine, and Sima Zhao gave birth to nine...... But I can't stand the cannibalism of my uncles, nephews and brothers, and there are more than a dozen princes who actually got involved in the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", basically all of them are not good to die, and then Hu Bing broke Luoyang and killed a batch, and the rest of the nearly branch bloodline, which can be supported, is only such a half-old child.

The so-called "Heaven is evil, you can still live, and people are evil, you can't live"!

Of course, Pei should not show these thoughts in his heart, in front of Sima Ye, he played a loyal minister, no matter his expression or actions, people can't find anything wrong. After sitting down, you looked around, all of them were fresh faces, oh, the old man at the top should be Situ Liangfen.

said that he was an old man, but in fact, Liang Fen should have been in his forties this year, but after ups and downs, coupled with the state affairs, his face was full of wrinkles, and even his beard was a lot whiter.

Then Liang Fen bowed his head, looking like a martial artist, it was naturally the hussar general Suo Qisuo Juxiu. However, contrary to rumors, Suo Qi's demeanor is very modest, but he does not seem to be domineering.

Sima Ye casually talked to Pei Gai for a few words, and the child actually couldn't ask anything, but casually mentioned that in Luoyang City that day, when he was the king of Qin, he and Pei Song had met once. Hearing the Son of Heaven mention his deceased brother, Pei Cainai hung his head and made a look of pathos - he was worried that his lifelong acting talent would be exhausted today......

In less than ten minutes, Sima Ye bowed his head, and a Huangmen waiter stood up next to him—not Zhang Wei, who led Pei in—unfolded the edict and read it out loud. The text is only to encourage Pei to expel Hu Lu, calm Henan, restore the old capital, and sacrifice the merits of sweeping the mountains and tombs. ”

This position is roughly not too much different from what he estimated - after all, he didn't really want to be a big Sima or a general, and he directly overpowered Suo Qi, Lu Yun and even Liang Fen. The so-called "strong dragon does not suppress the head snake", and he has not shown the posture of a strong dragon now.

Pei Gai's original general was called Long Xiang, and now he has changed to conquer the west, and his intention is probably to keep him in Chang'an and be in charge of military affairs on the western front (of course, it's just a false name, in fact, the general of Zhengdong also has to fight in the west, and the general of Zhengnan may also be stationed in the north), according to the grade, it is slightly promoted by half a level, but he is still a third-grade general - because of the lack of a "big" word. Only hussars, chariots, levies, towns, Fubo, Longxiang and other generals, the beginning of the heavy number of generals, into the second grade, the opening of the house, the festival for the governor of the city is more than the public, for the first grade.

However, at the same time, it made Pei should hold the festival, and "open the palace with the three divisions" - the meaning of this position is: you can open the shogunate, elect officials and officials, and the honor guard together with the three princes - that is the proper first product. It's just that it is also a public, and it is also divided into high and low, such as the big Sima and the general that Pei Caishi asked for with a big mouth, which is higher than the three dukes, and the "Kaifu Yi and the three divisions" are lower than the three dukes, and the general of the three products is added as the duke, which is half a head lower than the hussar general Suo Qi and the chariot general.

In fact, this name is not commonly used - it was used more in later generations - there are no Suo and Koji, Suo Qi is based on the title of "Governor of the Imperial Palace", and Koji Yun relies on the title of "Grand Governor" to be among the first products. Pei Gai is also the governor, but the miscellaneous general and the title of governor are the same as the three products. That is to say, although they are both public, but the sources are different, there is no analogy, you can only compare with the general, Pei should be on the general, naturally the peso, koji is a head lower.

What a well-intentioned one!

Pei Gai raised his head slightly, swept Liang Fen out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Liang Fen's expression seemed to be a little nervous, probably thinking in his heart: Are you satisfied with this arrangement? Will you accept it?

Pei Gai naturally wants to bow down and thank him and receive the holy decree, after all, the amount of reward is not much different from his psychological price, and the specific details can be discussed in private, and then fine-tuned when there is an opportunity. Unless Pei should be bent on being a great Sima or a general, he would not be able to sweep the face of the court on the spot.

Not only Liang Fen, but even Sima Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this. Sima Ye didn't have so many tricks when he was young, he just hoped that the soldiers and horses from all over the country could be like Pei Gai, and hurry to King Qin to save him from the sea of suffering, so since Pei Gai came, he would definitely reward him to encourage the latter. It's just that the authority of the Jin court has almost fallen to the bottom in recent years, and few people really respect him, a young man, especially the shameless faces of the generals of various foreign armies, and Sima Ye has seen a lot. If Pei Wenyue is also of the same kind, and he is not satisfied with the court's reward for him, so he brushes his sleeves away, how can it be good? This one is gone, will anyone come again?

Seeing Pei Gai's grateful look, thanking him for receiving the order, Sima Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and said a few words of encouragement, and then ordered: "Pei Qing is not easy to come by, Situ and the hussar general, and set up a banquet for me to entertain him." After saying these clichés, he got up and retreated.

A banquet has already been set up in the side hall to catch the wind, and Liang Fen and Suo Qi entertained Pei Gai. Sure enough, there were no good things at the banquet, but fortunately, there were all kinds of meat and vegetables, and no matter how poor the court was, it would not be able to entertain the ministers from afar. However, it is estimated that it will be half a year and a year, it is difficult to say, according to historical records, when Sima Ye was finally trapped in the small city of Chang'an, "Taicang has a number of cakes, and the koji crumbs are porridge for the emperor, and it is exhausted" - even the emperor only has porridge boiled with wine lees to drink, let alone others?

The three of them exchanged a few words of greetings and toasted each other, and according to the current practice, they waited until they were halfway through the meal before they began to get into the main topic. Pei Gai first asked: "Today, I have been rewarded by the Son of Heaven and awarded the honorable knight, so that I am among the three divisions. However, the old Xuzhou assassin history, I don't know who it belongs to? ”

The edict only said that "the former governor of Qingxu is the same as before", and did not mention the issue of Xuzhou's assassination history, theoretically speaking, it should be deprived of Pei Cai's actual position. The reason is also very simple, although I want to keep Pei should stay in Guanzhong, but not only keep him, but also have to leave the Xuzhou soldiers he brought to help guard, so if he takes away the post of governor of Xuzhou, can Pei should still be able to control the Xuzhou soldiers? If the soldiers are home, what can they do?

As for the history of the Xuzhou Thorn, since you stay in the court, you will definitely not be able to take care of it in such a distant place, and it is impossible for civil affairs to stop here, but must be transferred to others.

Liang Fen smiled and replied to Pei Gai: "If you want to stab Xu with Xun Jingyou, the father of Qing's wife, how about it?" ”

The court doesn't want you to spit out Xuzhou, and arrange a relative of yours to guard the town, which can not only show favor to you, but also avoid being interfered by Jiankang, you should be grateful for this kindness, right?

Who wants Pei Gai to shake his head: "Jiayue is not enough to be the ...... of assassination" joked, just Xun Song's weak and two-ended personality, maybe in a blink of an eye, he will give up Xuzhou to Jiankang!

Liang Fen frowned slightly: "Then, who does the public want?" ”

Pei Gai said: "I should have come here, I was supposed to escort King Qin and expel Hu Lu, but Liu Yao has retreated, why should he drown for a long time?" Since returning to Xuzhou, he has guarded the peace of the East for the imperial court - although Cao Wei has surrendered, if there is no deterrence, he is afraid of his rebellion, and he must not be worried. ”

When Suo Qi heard this, he couldn't help but snort lightly from his nostrils, and said in his heart: The little guy is not very old, but his appetite is not small, and he has made you climb to the sky in one step, what are you not satisfied with? Still here to leave as a threat, and make conditions with the imperial court?! If you want to get out, just get out, as long as you change Zu Shizhi to come over.

Because the order in which Pei should speak is a big problem, he didn't say that I still want to be the assassin of Xuzhou, but asked first, who are you going to give the post of assassin of Xuzhou to? When he heard that he was not satisfied with the candidate, he pretended to pick a pick-who could not hear the hidden meaning in his words?

Liang Fen squinted at Suo Qi, and said in his heart that he was rude and martial arts, so he didn't know the art of speaking, what did you do by just humming? Then his face sank: "Pei Gong doesn't have to joke, although Liu Yao is going temporarily, do you know if he will come again?" Since the prince led his troops into the king of Guanqin, and the court rewarded him, how could he retreat without success? ”8)
