Zu Ti asked Pei Gai, have you ever sent an envoy to Hebei? When he said this, he pretended to drink wine, but he kept tilting his head and staring at Pei Gai's eyes, wanting to see how the other party reacted.

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. Maybe because he just drank a little wine, and he was talking about strategy, he was unguarded, so what he thought in his heart naturally revealed in his expression, and Zu Ti couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart when he saw it.

Your expression is not like saying, "Why did you suddenly say this?" There are no shadows! And the elephant was saying, "How did you find out about such a secret thing?" "Is this not possible?!

wanted to intercept the "fake book" that day, Zu Ti was indeed suspicious, ninety percent did not believe it, but one percent still believed it. But even if this matter is true, in order not to shake the morale of the army, and at the same time not to disturb his own mind, he must be convinced that it is false; Second, Kong Jun's explanation is very reliable, and Zu Shizhi temporarily suppressed his suspicions.

But today, listening to Pei Gai talk about his strategy, he wanted to attack the south first, and the little doubt in Zu Ti's heart couldn't help but come up again. What do you mean? Do you really want Liu Cong's father and son to "slow down and then fight", or do you want to deliberately avoid Shi Le?!

Zu Ti naturally didn't believe that Pei Gai would collude with Shi Le, and even agreed to divide the world into two early, but what Wei Gai said that day was not unreasonable, Pei Wenyue had always had a high opinion of that slave, was it that the experience in the camp left an indelible wound in his heart, so he was afraid of Shi Le? Fortunately, Zu Ti didn't know what "Stockholmer Syndrome" was, otherwise he would have thought even more crookedly......

Pei Gai has always respected Zu Ti, and he has always been relatively honest in front of him, so after hesitating for a while—to tell the truth, if he didn't hesitate, he might have lied, and since he had hesitated, he was only afraid that the other party would be suspicious—he still replied: "I don't hide it, I want to spy on the movements of the slaves, and when I was in Xuzhou, I had a close correspondence with his long history Cheng Yao. Under the command of the slaves, there is no fear, but Zhang Bin is deep and wise, and he wants to guide Cheng Yao to resist him, and then slander and harm him - I don't know how Shizhi knew about this? ”

Pei should still be worried, I thought that this matter was secretive, but even the ancestors in Si and Yan listened to the rumors, so is it possible to hide it from Zhang Bin? Where the wind came from, I must ask clearly.

Zu Ti stared at Pei Gai's eyes, and only smiled for a long time: "It's not like this." Then he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Pegai. Pei Cai took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be furious, and slapped the table with his hand and said, "This is also a counter-plan!" ”

Zu Ti said that I knew it was a counter-plot - "If it weren't for Hu Kou's doing, I'm afraid it was Suo Juxiu's treacherous scheme, and God was fortunate that Suo Mou was dead--the right talent is just a joke, not a try." "I'm playing tricks on you, and I really didn't mean to test you - of course it's a lie.

Pei Caixin said that you are testing me, but fortunately, there is no ghost in my heart...... Immediately said: "Shizhi, Pei's heart can express the sun and the moon." If the two of us are suspicious of each other, they will benefit Hu and Qian, and mislead the country - in this case, after I settle Qinzhou, I will not take Liang from the south, but immediately wave my army to the east and attack the Qiannu! ”

Zu Ti saw that Pei Gai seemed to be a little angry, and quickly stood up and took a deep look: "It's my fault, Wen Yue forgives my sins." Pei Cai hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his arm: "The heart is in the cavity, and it cannot be dissected." However, the gentleman is frank and open, and he should not arouse people's suspicions, but now he has made the ancestor doubt me, and he will be in me. Originally, it was just a kind word, but after hearing this, Zu Li immediately bent his knees and knelt down for Pei Gai: "If Wen Yue says so, he refuses to forgive me, and I should apologize for my sin!" As he spoke, he reached out and drew his sword from his waist.

Pei Gai was indeed a little angry, but seeing that Zu Ti had stated that he wanted to commit suicide to apologize, could he continue to persecute him with words? Hurriedly pressed the other party's hand, and then said sincerely: "Shizhi, I didn't mean so. The so-called 'three people become tigers', and the cloud 'great-mother throws into the tree', with the relationship between mother and son, this is still the case, let alone you and me? Now that we are in a high position, the jealous and hateful are not Zhi Zhi and Hu Ye, and I am afraid that above the court, attacks and discord will also come with the shadow. The so-called Mo Rebellion is not in doubt, but in honesty, and the hearts are dissected by each other, and the rumors are self-contained. ”

If you think about it, it's normal for you to be suspicious of me, but if something like this happens again, you should ask it directly, and I should be honest with me, only then can I ensure that there is no suspicion and no disgrace - and vice versa.

Zu Ti couldn't help but bow his head a little ashamedly and said, "Jun Yan is also, I have been taught." He was anxious to put an end to this unpleasant topic, and hurriedly said: "There is still one thing that should not be asked, since Wenyue blames me, it is better for me to directly state what I am worried about." ”

Pei Caixin said no, what else do you have in your heart? Forced to smile: "It's okay for you to be blunt." ”

So Zu Ti asked frankly: "Now that I have gone to ask for koji and asked for advice, I don't know when I can return to the Son of Heaven in the old capital?" ”

——————————

The legal capital of the Jin Dynasty was Luoyang, not Chang'an, although Sima Ye practiced Zuo in Chang'an, but theoretically speaking, it was just "in line", and there was no edict to officially move the capital.

Since the recovery of Luoyang, Zu Yi has been supervising the construction of palace affairs, and Pei should naturally be clear about this matter, so Zu Shizhi suddenly asked this question - when will the Son of Heaven be welcomed back to Luoyang - Pei should naturally have expected it.

Immediately smiled slightly, and said that this was indeed the case, so he asked Zu Ti: "When will the unknown palace be finished?" ”

Zu Ti smiled slightly bitterly: "There is a shortage of people and money, and the project is very slow, but it has been a long time for the small city of An'an to be magnificent...... although the Luoyang palace group was burned to the ground by Liu Yao, and it is impossible to recover quickly, but using the previous planning, Zu Ti spent more than half a year, staring at the construction site all day long, no matter what, he can see certain results, not worse than the temporary palace in Chang'an City."

“…… Therefore, before I came, I had suspended the construction of the palace and sent Dong Zhao to step up the construction of the city, and when the city was completed, I could welcome the Son of Heaven. ”

It is not necessary to finish all the repairs, and then move the court over, after all, if the son has not yet got married today, there are not so many people around, and there is a lot of shortage in the court, and the current palace and official offices are enough - "Luoyang is the capital of the world, the capital city set by Emperor Wu, and the mountains and tombs of several generations are all on its side. The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, and he will inevitably be ridiculed for his relocation, and if he returns to Luoyang, the prestige of the imperial court will be great, and the scholars from all over the world will be scattered, so Hu Kou is not enough. ”

Pei should admit that what Zu Ti said is reasonable, and only by returning the capital to Luoyang can the current court be free of the slightest flaw in legal theory - after all, Sima Ye is not the crown prince canonized by Sima Chiming in the previous generation, he ascended the throne as the emperor, maybe there are people with brains or ulterior motives, but he insists that his name is not correct, his words are not good, and he refuses to obey? If you return to Luoyang, then no one will have anything to say.

But is this good or bad for you? Son of Heaven Juluo, do I want to follow? If I don't obey, I will hand over the court to others out of thin air, then why did I work so hard to kill the rope? But as far as the current strategic planning is concerned, it is to settle on the Kansai first, and then go all out to the east to win with Shile - the Hu Han and Liu clans are like dry bones in the grave, so there is no need to worry - I don't worry about handing over the Yong and Qin states to others to operate...... What should I do?

Zu Shizhi, what are you in a hurry, how good it would be to wait a few more years before mentioning this question. Pei Caixin said, what excuse should I find to continue to delay this matter?

He was stunned for a moment in his mind, and Zu Ti immediately smiled and said: "I am pure and public-minded, don't think of me as Yuan Shaoye." "Today's situation is different from when Yuan Shao was in Yecheng and asked Cao Cao to send Emperor Han Xian from Xuchang, I don't want to take the opportunity to seize your authority, you can rest assured. immediately said: "Wen Yue can be honored by the Son of Heaven Duluo, and he is willing to calm the west for the country!" ”

Pei Gai waved his hand: "My heartfelt song has been analyzed, and I know the loyalty of the child." If there is a suspicion of the king, why should he give the title of hussar and summon the king? "I'm not worried about your ancestors, but ...... The emperor is not at ease with anyone, I am worried about all the people in the world!

Zu Ti didn't want to raise this question at first, because now that he was guarding Sizhou and Luoyang was in control, he was in such a hurry to relocate the Son of Heaven, would Pei Ying suspect that he wanted to seize power? However, since Pei Gai said: "The so-called Mo Rebellion is not in doubt, but in honesty, and the hearts are dissected by each other, and the rumors are self-contained." "Zu Ti pondered, I have this thing in my heart, if I don't say it to you, isn't it not honest? Just, let me ask.

But I have to make it clear, I am purely for the prestige of the imperial court, not to seize your authority, if you are not satisfied, we can swap positions, you keep the Son of Heaven in Sizhou, I will calm Longxi.

Pei Gai said don't worry, I know that what you said is purely public, and it is reasonable, I will not doubt you - if I am afraid that you will seize power, how can I give you the position of "Hussar General", which is higher than me? However, "Although I have entered the court, most of the people in the court are Westerners, and I will not return to the east. And if the Son of Heaven is east, the judgment of Longdao is not enough to endanger the imperial court, then I am afraid that I will have no excuse to conquer the ......."

Zu Ti nodded in understanding, and said: "It's not in the past two days, I just ask for a promise that it will go to Yu Luo, the Son of Heaven, not just a perfunctory appearance." ”

Pei Gai immediately said: "I will return the capital to the Son of Heaven!" "Actually, he hasn't thought it through yet, but at this juncture, he can't have any trouble with Zu Ti and leave any knots between the two, so ah-I'll take it first. What will happen in the future, and I will talk about it when I figure it out, anyway, it is very common for politicians to change their words......

So after the promise, he quickly changed the topic: "I was about to discuss with Shizhi, when the Son of Heaven should be married, whose woman should I choose?" ”
