Pei Wei also suspected that Pei Pi's death was actually Wang Gong's conspiracy, but because the situation caused was what he was happy to see, he only thought about it in his heart, but he would never reveal it to others. It's just that I was holding back in my heart, and it was really uncomfortable, so when I met this time, I deliberately made a statement to test Wang Gong, and at the same time, I also wanted to beat the other party: You are too bold, you dare to act so recklessly without consulting me in advance, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?!

In his mind, Wang Gong either denied it, or argued that all this is for the overall situation - it's just a death of Pei Pi, for Pei's family, it can be used as an excuse, but it really won't cause too much loss; Besides, Pei Pi is Xi Pei, you are Dong Pei, the two have not had much contact for many years, why should you feel distressed? On the contrary, if Xi Pei declines, it is a good thing for you Dong Pei.

But I didn't expect Wang Gong to say such a thing, saying that he and Jia Chong were three different.

Which three are different? Jia is not only Sima Zhao's loyal dog, but also serves as the central guard, and is actually in charge of the guard, so he pays close attention to the movements of the Son of Heaven. As a result, he couldn't stop Cao Chao from leaving the palace to kill the prime minister's mansion, and then he couldn't make the matter resolved peacefully, so in a hurry, he was forced to kill the king, which made Sima Zhao suffer strong public opinion pressure.

Perhaps because of this, Sima Zhao did not dare to usurp the throne in person, but left that last step to his son Sima Yan.

Wang Gong only said how Jia Chong was, but he didn't talk about how he was and how he was different from Jia Chong. Pei Wei can understand what it means: My wisdom is higher than that of Jia Gonglu, and I will not harm the Lord; It can also be understood that it means: I plan every step and then act, how can I behave like Jia Chong?

Then the second place is different, Wang Gong said, Jia Chong can be listed, he is a conspiracy man, but he relies on the merit of support, serving in important positions such as Shangshu Ling and servants, and is actually in charge of the government, but the virtue is not matched, not only to manage political affairs, but also to be jealous of the virtuous, so he will be ridiculed for eternity. The intention of his words: I am very accurate in my positioning, I have no ambition to establish a dynasty and govern, so I will neither endanger the new dynasty nor you Pei Gong in the future, so why should you worry about me?

Thirdly, on the surface, it sounds like it's just the first way to put it in another way, and the content is repeated, but it actually means: Why does Jia Chong attract hatred? Because he killed the Son of Heaven, this matter is well known, and it can't be washed away at all∫ it's different, you suspect that I planned Pei Pi's murder, but do you have evidence? There are not many people who know that I am in Luoyang at this time, and how many people can suspect me? My various deeds will surely be annihilated in the tide of history, and the people of future generations will definitely not regard me as a traitor like Jia Chong!

He could be regarded as acquiescing, but Pei Wei didn't have the slightest trick. Pei Wenji couldn't help but be annoyed and said: "Da Sima is not a dizzying hypocrite, he will be able to penetrate your traitor, aren't you afraid of death?!" ”

Wang Gong replied with a smile: "Da Sima has penetrated the hearts of the people, and he is cunning in politics, and he is not for it, not for ignorance, in Gong's opinion, he really has the intention of doubting me." But so what? If there is no evidence, it will be killed, and it will harm the name of the Great Sima and confuse people's hearts; If you secretly remove my big Sima Ruoken for this kind of thing, he will return to Luo as soon as possible to restrain his ancestors! ”

Pei Gai, I understand, he has his own bottom line in doing things, without exact evidence, he is at most alienated from me, and refuses to kill me even secretly∫ since he dares to do this kind of thing, naturally all aspects have thought, Pei Gong, you don't have to worry about me. Besides—

"Gong knows himself, and he is also a conspirator, but what he seeks can turn the world upside down, although he will not give up. Do I still hope that the prince will not succeed? ”

When Pei Wei heard this, he couldn't help sighing-Since you have said everything to this point, I really have nothing to ask. So he held Wang Gong's shoulder, moved forward with difficulty, and asked in a low voice: "If the king's plan does promote the return of the great Sima to Luo, but this matter is quite difficult to involve the heavenly family, if the great Sima hesitates again, how should he plan?" ”

Wang Gong replied confidently: "Although the public thinks it is difficult, the tribute thinks it is easy. Da Sima is loyal and kind, and the Son of Heaven has no loss of morality, so he will not bear to be forced to do so, and he will wait for the water to come to fruition, and he does not know what year and month. However, why rush Da Sima? It is better to send someone to urge the Son of Heaven."

When Pei Wei heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he had cleared the fog and seen the blue sky. Immediately bowed his head: "Zici is really deep and wise, but who to say that the Son of Heaven is better, it still needs to be considered"

Wang Gong said: "Pei Gong can think about it carefully, but the Son of Heaven summoned the ancestor to return to Luo, because he knows that the time cannot be delayed, and he is afraid that there will be changes!" ”

——————————

Pei Cai rode his horse close to the west gate of Luoyang, and was about to enter the city, when he suddenly heard the noise in his ears, and couldn't help but ask. The subordinates reported: "There are people who claim to be the great Sikong to join the army and lead the general Jianwei, and they ask to see the Ming Gong." ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then ordered: "Summons him to come." When they met, it was Wen Qiao Wen Taizhen, so he asked, "Why is Taizhen here?" ”

Wen Qiao replied: "The last official was sent by the Great Sikong to return to Luo to meet the Son of Heaven and play the good news of recovering Pingzhou. ”

Because of the distance and the impassable road, Liu Kun borrowed Murong Bing to seize Ranzhou, and Pei should not have received a report before leaving Chang'an. But Liu Kun did have the intention of expelling Cui Yu and annexing Pingzhou, using it as his base for rejuvenation, Pei should have known about this for a long time, so he was not surprised by this.

It was Wen Qiao who was unexpected, because Pei should immediately question him: "Pingzhou has not fallen into the hands of thieves, how can you say 'recovery'?" ”

Wen Qiao couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he had to explain in detail: "Cui Yu stole Pingzhou, colluded with Juli, did not pay tribute, and did not allow Dasikong to enter the country, so he was cut down by undertaking it."

Cui Yu is the remnant of Wang Jun's party, and Wang Jun once had the intention of usurping but this is not a reason, if Wang Pengzu lives a few more years, maybe he really becomes the second Yuan Shu, but since he was attacked and killed by Shi Le before the official flag, it is impossible for the Jin Dynasty to declare the Wang party a rebel.

Therefore, Wen Qiao's reason is that Cui Yu guarded Pingzhou and did not get the official permission of the imperial court, so it was "stealing", and he also colluded with Goguryeo In fact, in addition to being forced to ask for help when the Murong army attacked, Cui Yu and the Goguryeo regime have always been friends and enemies), although the non-tribute is located in the corner of the sea, and there are thieves blocking the way, but since the sea ships of Qingzhou can sail to Pingzhou, theoretically Cui Yu can be sent to the Central Plains, that is, not to pay tribute, but also to pay court), coupled with the obstruction of the soldiers, the big Sikong is not allowed to enter, Therefore, Da Sikong pretended to be the order of the Son of Heaven and crusaded against him.

If in the Taiping world, Liu Kun's behavior is completely out of line with the system, but in the troubled times, and there is a thief between him and the court, the matter can be followed, and the reason is more sufficient.

Pei Gai listened to Wen Qiao's explanation, and immediately nodded: "There is a reason for this." In this case, Taizhen can follow me into the city to meet the Son of Heaven. As he spoke, he took the reins of the horse and went straight to the west gate of Luoyang.

Wen Qiao was stunned on the ground, somewhat at a loss. He originally waited for Pei Gai here, just to find out Pei Gai's attitude towards the chaos in Luozhong, and speculate whether this great Sima had the intention of purging the imperial court or even dealing with the Son of Heaven. Whoever wants Pei to come up will question what Liu Kun did first, and then take the horse away, not giving Wen Qiao a chance to speak again.

Wen Tai is really exquisite, of course he understands Pei Ying's intentions. Questioning Liu Kun's expulsion of Cui Yu is to imply two things to Wen Qiao: first, I, like Liu Yueshi, were forced by the situation to do certain things; Second, if you evil me at this time, I can help Cui Yu at any time, and instigate the imperial court to declare Liu Kun's seizure of Pingzhou illegal to put it bluntly: I'm annoying here, don't mess with me, and before the smoke and dust in Luoyang are quiet, I won't reveal the slightest information to you Wen Taizhen. Just follow me into the city honestly.

Pei Gai had just entered the city, and Pei Wei immediately caught up with him on horseback, and then approached, and reminded Pei Gai in a low voice: "It is not appropriate for the Ming Duke to go to the Son of Heaven, and he should summon Shangshu first." ”

Pei Gai glanced at Pei Wei in surprise: "What is the reason?" ”

Pei Wei said: "When you see the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will ask Ming Gong Guiluo, what is his intention, if he stops perfunctory to apply for Sheng Gong's grievances, where is the grievance?" It is better to summon Shangshu first, inquire about the results of the investigation, reprimand him for incompetence, reinstate the dethroned Emperor, and then play the Son of Heaven. ”

When you go to see the Son of Heaven now, what can you say to him except to greet me coming? Say I'm here for Pei Pi's death? If you believe that they are delaying their responsibilities, it is difficult to find out the truth, and they cannot give yourself a satisfactory answer, then you also need to summon Shangshu to ask for a clear understanding before you can impeach them to the sky. Now that Shangshu is doing, we only have second-hand information in our hands, in case the news is not true, then if you speak in front of the Son of Heaven, your waist will not be hard.

Pei Cai thought for a while, and said, "What my uncle said is reasonable. He immediately stopped, ordered people to go to Shangshu Province to pass on the order, and summoned Shangshu to come to the Ximen camp to be questioned.

Xun Di got the news, and immediately according to the guidance of the Xun group, he pushed Zuna out to talk to Pei Gai C Shiyan didn't want to be a head bird, but Xun Daoxuan was very strong-willed, and said: "Da Sima led his troops back to Luo, and he was not afraid of his prestige, but he only ordered his younger brother to be a hussar general." Among the Shangshu, only the king can rely on the power of his younger brother and is not afraid of the power of the Great Sima. The rest of the people are not up to the task. ”

Zuna asked: "Taiwei's rank is still above his younger brother, why isn't it the power of the servant to shoot the uncle?" Xun Di smiled bitterly: "Today, the great Sima is surrounded by martial artists, the captain has no soldiers, and he is old, how can he be ashamed?" He bowed again and again: "We all rely on Shiyan, I hope you don't shirk." ”

All the Shangshu were worried that this hard work would fall on their heads, so they also begged Zuna, but Zuna was impatient, so he had to leave the west gate with a bitter face and go to see Pei Gai.

But before he arrived, Liang Yun took a car to the West Gate in advance to meet Pei Gai. Of course, not only did he not act as a representative of Shangshu Province, but he even regarded his title as a fart for Shangshu, and repeatedly explained as soon as they met, I was sick during this time, and I didn't know anything

When Zuna arrived and signed up, Liang Yun immediately avoided the side and had a secret conversation with Pei Wei, Pei Xu, Wang Gong and others When he saw Pei Gai, he had just saluted, and Pei Gai asked: "My brother died in the capital, it has been nearly half a month, why don't you see the imperial court, what is the reason?" ”

Under normal circumstances, if a courtier dies due to state affairs, he will definitely give a watch, such as adding officials, entering the knighthood, and shadowing his descendants. Although Pei Pi's situation is difficult to say that he was "martyred", he did lose his life during the performance of his official duties, and he barely met the conditions of the table - so why didn't he see Shang Shushi issue a book on this matter?

When Zu Na came, it was convenient to talk to Pei Gai, and between the folding and rushing bottles, he did a considerable degree of psychological construction and drew up several abdominal cases, but he didn't expect that Pei Gai would go straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and made a fuss about the "table", which was unexpected, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard it.

After being stunned for a while, he hesitated and said: "Pei Youwei's death is also, the imperial court is investigating the murderer, and the straightness is not clear, so it is inconvenient to make a statement" Even during the performance of official duties, if Pei Pi hangs up because of his own reasons - such as sudden illness, such as personal grudges, it does not meet the conditions of the table, right?

Pei Gai immediately glared and asked, "Since Yun is victimized by the thieves and spies, how can it be inconvenient to show up?!" ”

"This is the victim of the thief and the spies, the day after Pei Youwei was killed, he immediately reported to the Right Guard, but the Right Guard refused to accept it"

"If the interrogation is true, how can the dignified Shangshu Province listen to the opinion of the right guard? If the interrogation is not true, can it be perfunctory for such a major event as the assassination of the national general in the capital? And a few days apart, what is Shangshu doing? The result is safe?! ”

A series of questions completely blinded Zuna. If you want to say that Zu Shiyan is a person, "he has good conduct, can speak clearly, and the meaning of the text is considerable", but when it comes to specific matters, not only is he not as far away as Zu Li, I am afraid that even his brother Zu Yue, who he despises, is not as good as he originally thought, not only for the important ministers of the court, but also for the gentle and elegant speech and art, Da Sima will be eloquent and responsible, and he will slowly skim it off, quote scriptures, analyze the current situation, and have to fight for a while

Today's great Sima Zhiwei is really too much in the past, and I don't know if it's because of the death of his brother, he really him off, or if he is surrounded by thousands of armies, he has no fear, so his true nature is exposed

- Pei Caixin said yes, my brothers are dead, you let me be polite again, and play political rhetoric with you around the corner? Isn't that!

In desperation, Zuna had to use others as a shield: "This case is really judged by the monk's book, or there are ambiguities; However, if the five schools are scattered, and then Deng and Yin are ordered to review the books, it will be even more difficult to understand the truth."

Pei Gai sneered: "I heard the head of Mingda, and the ancestor Shangshu held it. Among them, there is a hidden song, and Mingda must not be ignorant, why do you allow it to kill yourself? Is it the meaning of Shangshu or the meaning of the palace?! ”

Zuna instinctively replied: "It is definitely not the ten intentions of Shangshu" and then realized that it was wrong, and quickly explained: "It is not the intention of the Son of Heaven in the palace, but it is Mingda's fear of sin."

Pei Gai pouted: "The dead can't speak, so naturally Deqing and others will be relieved!" ”
