Now it is the spring of the sixth year of Jingde, because of the victory of the Southern Expedition, the ministers all asked to change the yuan, but they were vetoed by Pei Gai - he used to hate to memorize so many years the most, and once the son of heaven changed the yuan at every turn, is it really necessary? It's better to stipulate one emperor and one yuan from now on.

In the past few years, Xun Hou has been pregnant twice, one of which was accidentally miscarried, and one gave birth to a second daughter. Because the emperor only had one son under his knees, the courtiers felt that it was not safe enough, so they begged the Son of Heaven to accept the concubine many times, but Pei should ignore it. So the pressure gradually shifted to the queen, her father Xun Song and her brother Xun Rui came to advise, and a few days ago, even the Yanling Marquis Pei came to hint in a roundabout way. Queen Xun was helpless, so she visited the young girl among the important ministers, summoned her into the palace first, and passed by herself.

Today, she was more satisfied with this, so she asked Pei Gai: "Can you be a heavenly wife?" ”

Pei should not answer, and asked again: "Whose daughter is this?" ”

"The eldest daughter of Xi Daohui is also."

At this time, the political affairs hall of the Hua Dynasty has changed a set of teams, except for Xu Liu as the privy envoy - it is estimated that it will not be long before he has to give way to Guo Mo - in addition, Pei Wei transferred to Zhongshu, Pei Xu turned to the door, Wang Zhuo, Hua Heng, and Zu Na all left, Yin Qiao went west as the ambassador of Chang'an Xindu, and was succeeded by Xi Jian, Li Rong, Deng You, and Xiong Yuan.

Among them, Xi Jian is the left servant of Shangshu, with the most authority, and there is a faint tendency to surpass Pei Ling. So when Queen Xun heard that Xi Jian had a daughter, who was nearly twenty-nine years old and had not yet allowed anyone, she hurriedly sent someone to summon her and talk to her...... It's the opposite of yourself!

It just so happened that the emperor came, so he asked him bluntly. Pei Gai smiled and replied: "I have no intention of accepting a concubine, and I have already told the queen about this matter." After a pause, he said: "Since Xi Daohui is a beautiful woman who has not yet spoken, I may be able to choose a good match for it." ”

Just kidding, this girl is looking for a "fast son-in-law in the east bed", so she should marry Wang Xizhi. However, after pondering it again, all kinds of interpretations in later generations are not credible, like the old film "Love in the Pen", the modern love story is rigidly grafted to ancient times, which is not reliable, after all, it is the old man Xi Jian who fell in love with Wang Yishao, not the girl's own photo, which is still an arranged marriage. I hate arranged marriages, and even if I can't change the status quo of society, how can I do it myself? It's better to help other families operate, isn't this sick?

However, with the situation of the Langya Wang family today, as well as Wang Xizhi's official position of the sixth grade, it is estimated that Xi Daohui will not fall in love with him again, but I don't know who will end up in the end?

——————————

In the summer, Marshal Zhengyipin, Shangzhu Guo, and Gongzu of Fanyang County died of illness - four years longer than in the original history.

Pei Gai was deeply mourned, and he stopped the court for three days, and went to pay tribute in person. Immediately allowed his son Zu Lian to attack the lord, and the ministers discussed the proposed name, and Pei Gai chose the word "Wu".

- Fayun: "The powerful enemy is called martial arts." Youyun: "Restraint is a disaster." With the talent of the ancestors, it is enough to be worthy of this word, which can be compared with Zhuge Wuhou in the past, and can be reflected in the back with King Yue Wumu.

Soon after Zu Ti's death, Liu Kun also passed away - an old friend died of illness in the same year, which is also an outlier. However, Liu Yueshi should not be called "martial", and he was called "Jing" - Fayun: "From righteousness to Jing." Youyun: "Bu Yixing has just said the scene. ”

In the autumn, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Feisheng and Governor Lu He jointly played, and in the areas of Yunhuiji and Dongyang, Diao people gathered and cut off the roads, making it difficult for officials to go to receive Jiao and Guang Erzhou.

The origin of the matter is that in the troubled times, when religion prevails, scholars and ordinary people who cannot see the future often tend to follow superstition in order to seek spiritual sustenance. Originally, in history, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, both the south and the north, whether Buddhism or Taoism, reached a peak, and this is precisely the reason.

Nowadays, in the Central Plains, the political situation is basically stable, the people's livelihood is gradually recovering, and Pei Gai himself has clearly expressed his opposition to religious superstition, although Yu Shi and Taoism tolerate and do not ban them, they do not encourage them, and the religious troubles are not very serious. Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict, requiring all religious believers to be registered and subject to the supervision of the government, prohibiting casual migration and traveling to preach, and stipulating the upper limit of the number of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the county. However, as far as the Jiangnan region is concerned, it has not yet been comprehensively rectified.

During the "Yongjia Rebellion", there was a Taoist priest named Li Tuo, who crossed south to the area of Jianye, claiming to have lived for 800 years, so he was called "Li 800", who could cure diseases with ghosts, and set up official positions - this is very similar to what Zhang Lu did in Hanzhong - there are many people in Yangzhou who believe in it. When she heard the name of Li Babai, she hunted and killed him for the crime of confusing the public with evil words. As a result, his followers, instigated by his disciple Li Hong and others, rebelled everywhere, especially in the two counties of Huiji and Dongyang.

In fact, with Lu and his troops, it is enough to suppress the bandits, and the reason why he and Fu Sheng jointly played is to ask the Son of Heaven for instructions: The bandits obtained, kill or not? According to what Lu He said, he caught a lot of people who were bewitched, and they were really poisoned too deeply, and there was no reason to talk about it at all, if they were all detained, it would be a waste of manpower and material resources, let it go, if you don't repent, you may still make trouble after returning to your hometown - although the Son of Heaven is kind, but it is better to kill such a wicked person.

Pei should give instructions, and he is still lenient, but for those who have served as hypocrites among bandits, or those who have blood on their hands, they can correct the law on the spot. He also knows that the common people are pitiful, but the poor people must have something to hate, with my current power...... No, with the current capabilities of the feudal state, it is difficult to get education back, and there is no way, and when it is time to use thunderous means, it cannot be too indulgent.

When Zhen heard the news, he came to see Pei Gai and said, "Xiao Lu is also incompetent, these little things still have to bother the Son of Heaven." It is better for the minister to lead the troops on his behalf, and he will completely kill those thieves...... Oh no, the minister is also benevolent, and he will definitely convince people with virtue, so that they will not dare to rebel again. ”

Pei Cai asked him with a smile: "Qing returned to Luoyang, but in a few months, is it possible that the muscles and bones are itching again?" I don't know what happened to the knee pain? ”

When Zhen Sui heard this, his complexion couldn't help but change, and he showed a rare sad appearance, and replied: "Since returning to the north of the Yangtze River, the illness has decreased slightly, but after visiting famous doctors, he can't break the ......roots."

Pei Gai asked: "In this case, does Qing still want to go to Jiangnan?" ”

Zhen Sui replied: "If the minister goes to Jiangnan, it is inevitable that his legs will hurt, and if he stays in Luoyang for idle dinner, he will inevitably have headaches, and his muscles and bones will be tangled and uncomfortable - under the trade-off, it is better to endure some leg pain...... If you are not afraid of death, will you still be afraid of pain? ”

Pei should not have allowed it - Lu He didn't poke the big basket in Yangzhou, so I will let you take over him, what will he think in his heart? However, seeing that Zhen Sui didn't seem to have finished speaking, he stopped talking, so he said bluntly: "See you today, if you have any thoughts, you can be blunt; If I don't say anything today, I will never listen to it again—say, what else can I ask? ”

Zhen Sui saw that he was pressed, and then he stammered back a little: "Your Majesty, don't fight for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles......" Pei Caixin said that you would copy my words, but did I mean this at the beginning-" It is really uncomfortable to be idle in Luoyang, so when I heard that someone was making trouble, I was happy in my heart. However, those demon bandits, when they meet the ministers, they must be like winter snow to the sun, and they will melt for a while, and they really can't kill them for a few days, and they can't enjoy it.

"Because the king of Sihan is in the northeast, he fights with Sanhan day and night, and he may fight against Goguryeo in the future, although he has to be far away, he often has battles to fight, and he is not happier than the ministers sitting idle in the capital?"

Pei Gai asked: "Could it be that Qing is a national general and is willing to go to the northeast and be a subordinate of King Han?" ”

Zhen Sui hurriedly shook his head and said, "Although King Han is His Majesty's brother, the ministers look down on him, how can he be appointed?" His Majesty is the only one who can appoint ministers. First make a sycophant, and then tactfully explain what he thinks: "The minister heard that His Majesty still wants to be the king of Yue, but no one is willing to go?" ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but twist his beard and groaned - he naturally understands Zhen Sui's temperament, he is depressed when he doesn't fight, and he likes to cause trouble when he is depressed, although that guy knows in his heart that he will never really violate the law of the country, but after all, his idle time is still short, if he is idle for a long time, who knows what he will do?

Zhen Sui said to his wife in private, it is better not to unify the world, I always have a fight, and even when I mentioned that I was in Tianmen and Wuling in the past, it was more comfortable than when I was a national general all day long, and I was more comfortable than when I was a national general now. Fortunately, it was all reported through secret channels, if it was made public, the impeachment would inevitably rain over, Pei Gai didn't want Zhen Sui to suffer like Fan Xu, or even like Zhou Yafu.

In this case, it is better to scatter him to a remote place and continue to fight for the country in order to expand the territory, but-"I also want to seal the king of Xia, in the northwest, Yu Qing's body, isn't it more appropriate?" ”

Zhen Sui shook his head and said, "It's too far, it's too far." Then he explained: "The minister is a southerner, and he hears that the jungle in the land of Jiaozhi is dense, the mountains are steep, and the barbarian customs are also similar to the minister's hometown Tianmen and Wuling, so he would rather suffer from leg disease, and is willing to calm the barbarians for His Majesty." And though the Western Regions were dry and not very hot, they were so hot that the ministers did not understand what they were thinking, and they were impatient to deal with them. It is to implore His Majesty's vassals to serve His Majesty in South Vietnam until his death. ”

Pei Gai stiffened his face and scolded: "As a Qing, how dare you covet the title of the king?!" ”

Zhen Sui hurriedly explained: "The minister does not ask for the king, but asks to kill the enemy for the country, and there is no one else to criticize except His Majesty." King Yue or something, how dare the minister think about it? But it is enough to ask His Majesty to have a vassal governor of Jiaozhou, a marquis of Jiaozhi or something. ”

Pei Cai thought for a while, and suddenly proposed: "It's better to be given the surname of the country and be a brother with me, so that you can have the share of the king of Yue." Seeing that Zhen Sui didn't seem to be very happy, he asked: "Anyway, Qing's surname Zhen is not his own surname, is there anything he can't be reluctant to?" What is Qingqing's surname and what is his real name? I don't know either. ”

Zhen Sui arched his hand and said: "The name of the minister's land is really ugly, it has stained His Majesty's ears, and it is ...... The minister himself has long forgotten. It's just that if the ministers seek the national surname, I am afraid that many of the generals are not from the old family, and those who don't care much about the surname will come to ask for it one after another, so where can Your Majesty seal so many princes? ”

Pei Caixin said, you brute is quite thoughtful...... If he really recognizes Zhen Sui as a brother, it is estimated that Zhu Pei will have to jump on the spot, so he waved his hand: "Qing and retreat, let me think." ”

After repeated discussions with the prime ministers, Pei Gai finally issued an edict to seal Zhen Sui as the Duke of Zhennan, and the two counties of Jiude and Rinan as the Principality of Zhennan, allowing him to expand his territory. Previously, the title of King Han was ordered to be the same as that of King Liao, King Dai, and King Gao, and was under the prince and above the county king; If you are destined to be a duke, you will be under the county duke, and above the county duke.

Immediately, Zhen took his family, and hundreds of pro-party and disciples, crossed to the south and joined forces with Lu He, successfully suppressed the robbers, beheaded Li Hong, and then continued to go south to become a vassal. However, it is said that after he crossed the Yangtze River this time, his leg disease became heavier and heavier, and he could only command the battle - it is estimated that the two leg heels were completely abolished, which is not too much.

In the next two years, Wang Xun, the assassin of Ningzhou, died, and the others refused to accept the new life of the imperial court. The court discussed the candidate for the crusade, and Lu Heshi had returned from Yangzhou, so he also asked himself to imitate the story of Zhen and accept the title of Ningnan to calm the southwest direction for the country.

It is to seal Luhe as the Duke of Pingnan, and to Yongshou County, Yongchang County, and Ailao County as the Principality of Pingnan. Lu He led his troops into Ningzhou, successfully drove back the plagiarists, and lured and beheaded Chen, but soon after he was in the country, he died of illness due to unaccustomed water and soil. Pei Gai allowed his son to take the title, and allowed his life to guard Pingnan.

The Hua Dynasty finally gradually entered a period of peace and prosperity.
