Pei should believe Pei Xu's judgment.

Based on the knowledge of more than 2,000 years of others, Pei Gai tried his best to deprive the generals of the various departments under his command of their independence, and the old Xuzhou Army needless to say, such as the "Thunder", "Qiji", and "Bashang" battalions, with a set of military laws, and with cronies as the battalion Sima, and also broke up and reorganized many times, not allowing Beigong Chun, Guo Mo, and Li Yi to be arbitrary.

Speaking of which, there is only Su Jun's "public camp", which is too far away, and the independence cannot be stopped for the time being.

Zu Ti is different, his power is composed of many small forces in Si, Yan, and Henan Prefectures, and Zu Shizhi can only be gathered together with his personal charm, military talent and prestige, and he can be suppressed, and if he is replaced in charge, he will inevitably collapse.

Moreover, compared with the Kanto, the taste of the Kansai scholars is generally low, so as long as they hold Pei Cai's thighs, they are naturally expected to revitalize the family business, regardless of whether Pei should be in Guanzhong or Henan. Therefore, if Pei should return Luo by the Son of Heaven, although this voter felt a little awkward, he was generally willing to follow.

The Kwantung scholars were different, and only when the imperial court and Henan were united could their minds be settled. If the imperial court moves, it may be willing to follow such as Huaheng, but it will not hope to return to the east one day; And there are many people who refuse to enter Hangu Pass even if they die, such as Xun Group, who feels that in this way, the imperial court loses the hope of the world, and he is like being moved to the left. Therefore, it is really hard to say how many people Zu Ti can bring to Zhenguanzhong.

So what should I do, can't I really let him accept my newly recruited generals and soldiers in Kansai?

As far as Pei Gai himself is concerned, he is also inclined to stay in Guanzhong, unless Guanxi has been roughly determined, Sima Bao has also been killed, and Liangzhou has been recovered, and even the independence of the Zhang family in Liangzhou has been curbed to a certain extent.

So he really didn't want to rush to Henan, and often scolded in his heart: Zu Shizhi, what kind of hurry are you!

Of course, he also knew very well that it was not only Zu Ti who was anxious, but the Jin people who were half of Tai, and all the big guys were leading to look up to the Son of Heaven to show their determination to renew the rivers and mountains. In particular, the Kwantung scholars also want to restore their glory in the early stage of the Emperor Wu Dynasty and the Emperor Hui Dynasty, hoping to put everything back on track at least on the surface. Zu Ti was held hostage by these people, and he was willing to take the trouble to discuss with himself repeatedly, and he also preached everywhere that Pei Gong would not harm public affairs because of selfishness, which was already a good friend!

Luoyang is in the middle of the world, and it has been the natural capital since the Later Han Dynasty, but Pei should not only know that Qin won the world with Guanzhong, and the former Han Dynasty was strong in Guanzhong, but also knew more than others about Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which has been brilliant for a hundred years!

It was not until after the middle of the Tang Dynasty that the soil erosion in Guanzhong became more and more serious, and the water transport volume of the Yellow River gradually decreased, so that in desperation, the capital of Henan was restored, and even Luoyang was gone, so it could only be moved to Kaifeng...... Theoretically, there is still a lot to be done in the Guanzhong region in this year, and the former Zhao, the former Qin, the Later Qin, the Western Wei, the Northern Zhou and the Sui are all all set here. Moreover, Huan Wen and Liu Yu successively went on the Northern Expedition, and the most fierce competition was also in the Guanzhong region.

Do you really want me to throw away this good place and run to Luoyang to live in the middle of the world?

However, Pei Gai knows very well that with his current strength, it is difficult to cross Henan and Guanzhong and connect the two places. Therefore, if you return to Henan, Guanzhong must be let out, otherwise it will be like Xuzhou today, even if you order your cronies to guard it, you will only have the power of protection, and it will not be of much help to the battle situation in the Central Plains.

is still the same sentence, unless the three states of Qin, Liang, and Liang have been decided, and Guanzhong has no worries, then Pei Wei can be his own Xiao He, sit in Chang'an, and the soldiers, horses, grains and grass will continue to be transported to Henan. Now, it's too early, if you go, let alone Zu Li, I really don't know how long it will take to settle for others to come to Kansai, and the speed may not be faster than Zu Li!

Thinking about it further, Pei should have to admit that what Pei Wei said was reasonable. Zu Ti is in trouble alone in Henan, and he has accumulated in Guanzhong, and he will be able to restrain the Zujia army; But if you change Zu Ti to Guanzhong, over time, you may not be able to control it. Although I firmly believe that Zu Shi will not carry it, but the question is that Zu Shizhi does not have many years to live, once he dies, will it be so easy for him to insert his hand into the pass? After changing Zu Yue, even if Zu Ji and Zu Lian come up, is it still trustworthy?

Therefore, maintaining the current situation is in the best interest of oneself and the country, regardless of whether it is beneficial to the country or not.

So, can you really be selfless and face difficulties? If you rise to the challenge, will your servants gladly follow?

Thinking about the problem from a different angle, if you want to keep the current situation unchanged, will Zu Ti agree? What is the right reason for me to continue to postpone the matter of returning to Luo? continues to be perfunctory like this, in the eyes of Zu Ti and Kanto Shiren, what is the difference between himself and Suo? If you deviate from your ancestors because of this, and the country is bad, will you be able to benefit from it alone?

The more Pei Cai thought about it, the more headache he felt, and after Pei Xue retreated, he couldn't find a suitable reason to perfunctory Zu Ti, so he returned to the inner room with his hands behind his back.

Xun Guanniang has been pregnant for more than half a year, her belly is gradually revealed, and her backache and legs are becoming weaker, and she is too lazy to move. Now, even if she was notified in advance, she would not get up to greet her husband in most cases, but only reclined on the couch by herself, sometimes chewing some snacks......

Pei Cai sat next to his wife, stretched out his hand to caress Xun Guanniang's bulging abdomen, and couldn't help but put the boredom in his heart in front of his wife, he has never hidden his true state of mind.

After hearing this, Xun Guanniang immediately smiled and asked: "Husband, don't you mean to listen to the child in the concubine's womb?" ”

Pei Gai shook his head: "I said that I listened to the ...... and patted my hand, "What does this child who has not yet been born understand?" "I don't need to use politics for prenatal education, do I? Pei should think that there is only one best prenatal education, and that is the mother is happy.

Xun Guanniang frowned slightly, and said slowly: "If people don't love their hometown, then the Westerners want to stay, and the Easterners want to return, which is reasonable." As my uncle said, if you stay in Guanzhong, it will be beneficial to your husband, and if you return to Luoyang, the pros and cons will be mixed...... In that case, is the husband still indecided? ”

Pei Gai smiled bitterly: "There is no one who has both, and there are blessings and misfortunes." If the nation fails, shall I not be able to gain it alone? It is to stay here, and personally, it may not be harmless. ”

Xun Guanniang couldn't make up her mind, so she suggested: "The husband is in the house every day, facing the top, the government affairs are handsome, and everything is troubled, and it is inevitable that the mind will be congested. Why don't you go out and wander for a while, or maybe you can become enlightened? Before I got married, I had no one to talk to when I was bored, and every time I rode a horse, I was in a comfortable mood. ”

Pei Gai said that this is a good idea, I should relax for a day or two, put the political affairs in the back of my mind for the time being, is there anything bigger than this is still the discussion? If this matter is not solved well, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

So the next day, under the escort of hundreds of parts, he rode out of the Fuang Gate in the southwest and boarded Longshouyuan.

According to legend, in the ancient world, there was a black dragon from Fanchuan to the north, to Wei to drink, its deeds turned into a mountain peak, like a dragon's head, so it got its name. The Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty is the head of the dragon and faces the Weishui, and its shape is the best in the Guanzhong area, which is what Guo Pu said, Pei Gai himself naturally does not believe in what feng shui survey.

In fact, the dragon head is not very high, and the scenery is very average. Originally, with Pei Gai's idea, he should find a place with better scenery, such as Lishan Mountain in the east, and he can go there to soak in the hot springs, but because the distance is too far, with the traffic conditions of these years, he can't come and go for a day, so he has to give up.

However, he stayed in Chang'an City for a long time, and finally went out of the city once, and saw the verdant mountains, he still couldn't help but feel big, and couldn't help but bow his head again and again to Guo Pu's strange words, and said: "It is indeed the prosperity of the family and the country." Then he jumped out of the car and said let's walk up the mountain and look south.

What's on the south side of Longshouyuan? In these years, there are still large areas of farmland, but Pei should know that in a few hundred years, a magnificent Dayi will be built there, which is Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

In his previous life, he knew that Chang'an, the Han and Tang dynasties, was bounded by the dragon's head.

Just as he was about to step up the mountain, he suddenly heard a commotion, Pei Gai couldn't help frowning slightly, and called the tribe to come over and ask. The ministry said: "There are several officials who tried to charge the car, but the ministers have captured them. ”

Pei Gai asked, "What kind of official?" Why rush into my ranks? ”

The ministry said that I don't know, but looking at the color of the clothes, at most six grades, they are all petty officials with sesame mung beans, shouting in their mouths, saying that there is a major military matter, and they want to advise the lord.

Pei Caixin said don't ask, it must be for the sake of returning the capital, will there be one or two people who plan to die as Pei Xu said? Usually he flicked his sleeves and ignored it, but it was rare that he was in a good mood today, so he said: "Don't be rude and call someone to come and ask." ”

The trilogy obeyed the order and left, the time was not big, and sure enough, he pushed a small official over, and Pei should recognize it in a trance: "You are not the bell of Yingchuan?" ”

Zhong Sheng's big face is very distinctive, so Pei should be able to remember, otherwise even if he sees this little thing once, he may not be able to leave any impression.

Zhong Sheng approached, bowed his knees, and said: "The minister is the bell, and I have come to admonish him, and I hope that Pei Gong will adopt our advice." ”

Pei Gai said I still have the impression that I sent you to Tuntian, how did you return to Chang'an? Zhong Sheng smiled bitterly: "Years ago, the Qinzhou soldiers were in turmoil, and the minister's tun was the right way, the soldiers were scattered, and everyone was captive, so I had no choice but to return to Chang'an to be elected...... "My previous job is yellow, and the new job has not been divided, so I have to stay in Chang'an City, like a diner of the Taiyuan royal family."

Pei Gai stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "The rebellion in Qinzhou is not your fault, I should pay tribute to Shangshu and appoint another officer." Then he asked, "What advice do you want to admonish?" To put it simply. "I don't have that much time, so you can just say it succinctly.

Zhong Sheng's face first showed gratitude, then he listened to the question, quickly put his face away, and said bluntly: "Wen Zu Hussar please return to Luoyang, but Pei Gong is not allowed, I don't know why?" ”

Pei Gai replied: "I have to not allow it, I still consult with the ministers." ”

Zhong Sheng raised his head, raised his voice and said, "In this way, Pei Gong is disloyal!" ”

Pei Gai was displeased: "How can I be unfaithful?!" "Is it true that agreeing is loyalty, and disapproving is disloyalty? Your pole overturned a boatload of people, the impact surface is too wide, right? Besides, I haven't made it clear, have I? I was going to listen to the thoughts of you low-level officials, if there is any good advice, but I didn't expect you to be arrogant.

With a flick of his sleeves, he planned to order someone to blow the bell away, only to hear the bell shouting: "The prince consults with the ministers, and does not ask for the order of the Son of Heaven, how can he be loyal?!" ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Pei should not be Cao Cao, at least not half of the world, complacent, Cao Cao in the era of prime minister. He felt that Cao Cao was proud and arrogant, and some things were inevitably overdone, causing unnecessary conflicts in vain. With Cao Mengde's IQ, coupled with Ruoyun, a conspiracy minister under his command, he wants to set aside a few old ministers and want to play with the young Emperor Han Xian, isn't it just a joke? Is it necessary to get both sides unable to get off the stage?

Dong Cheng is also just that, that guy was originally a warlord in Kansai, it is impossible to really get along with Cao Cao for a long time, whether there is an emperor behind Dong Cheng's rebellion is also a mystery through the ages, and the number of "clothes and belts" is still unknown, the history is unknown, and it is inconsistent. But what can Fu Wan and Fu Shou do later? How much of a storm can be set off by an old man and a weak female stream? Is it necessary for you Cao Cao to instruct Hua Xin to drag his wife away directly from Emperor Xian?

As long as it's a man, who can bear this breath?

Therefore, Pei should try not to cause discord between the monarch and the prime minister, even if it is difficult to completely avoid the development of the situation, he must find a way to weaken the contradictions, so as not to bring unnecessary resistance to himself. Whenever he had a major event, he would discuss with the ministers before Sima Ye drove and gave the Son of Heaven enough face, which was based on this consideration.

It's just that this time he returned to the capital, and he didn't plan to listen to Sima Ye's opinion at all.

Because no matter which side Sima Ye leans towards, it has no positive significance for Pei Gai. If Sima Ye insists on returning the capital, how should he reply to General Pei? If Sima Ye advocates staying temporarily, I am afraid it will be worse, if Pei Gai uses this as an excuse to reject Zu Li, the Kwantung people will regard him as holding the Son of Heaven hostage and trying to do wrong.

The Son of Heaven doesn't plan to come back? No! This must be Pei Gai's edict, or he forced the Son of Heaven to say so!

So before he made up his mind, Pei Gai was afraid to listen to Sima Ye's statement, so he instinctively didn't go to the court to discuss the matter. Now the bell is broken: Have you put the Son of Heaven in your eyes? Whether it's still all, just a few of you discussed, have you ever listened to the opinion of the Son of Heaven?

When Pei Cai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt that there was a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Zhong Sheng knelt there, and saw that Pei should not reply, but just twisted his beard and groaned, and said in his heart, Could my words really touch him? Quickly slowed down his tone and added...... But there was a lot of talk behind him, but Pei Gai didn't listen to a word.
