Chapter 43 Zuo Xiangguo

"You mean, the matter of burning military rations, my scholars from Longyou Academy also have a share?"

In the study, Wei Ge frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, he went to the Longyou Branch yesterday, why didn't he hear about it?

He didn't know that Xin Lang and the others were still hiding in the manor outside the city, and they had no chance to complain to the dean.

Zhang Huan nodded solemnly and said: "At that time, there were a total of eighteen of us, and there were five people who climbed down the cliff, Xin Lang and another scholar from Longyou Academy were among them, but they are still avoiding trouble outside the city?" ”

"Avoiding trouble?" Wee was stunned, "What's going on!" ”

"It's a long story." Zhang Huan was arrested by the government for Zhao Yan and the two of them attacking Cui Xiong Kuagong, and they took advantage of the night to rescue them and briefly described it, and finally said: "Now Xin Lang and they are very worried that the imperial examination will be affected, and I hope that Uncle Wei Shi can make the decision for them!" ”

"My sons, who dare to touch them!"

Wei Ge sneered, he turned back to Zhang Ruohao and said: "My Wei family was ruined, and the hatred between me and Cui Lao Pifu is irreconcilable, I have decided to prevent his re-election no matter what, if Brother Zhang is willing to help me, I Wei Ge will definitely report back." ”

Zhang Ruohao smiled slightly and said, "If I didn't want to help you, I wouldn't have come to visit, but in order to achieve his wish, Brother Wei has to come up with one more thing!" ”

"Brother Zhang, please speak up!"

Wei Ge waved his hand and said decisively: "As long as I can prevent Cui Yuan from being re-elected, let me take out anything from the evil anger in my heart!" ”

Zhang Ruohao glanced at him and said lightly: "If you want to bring down Cui Yuan, you must get the support of the Pei family, but Pei Jun is a practical person, so you must give him what he wants." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ruoho turned back to Zhang Huan and smiled: "Eighteen Lang, you may guess what I am talking about? ”

"Right Phase!" Zhang Huan blurted out.

......

Leaving Weifu, the two went to Pei's Mansion again, like the Wei family, Pei's was originally a big clan in Hedong, during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, Pei Kuan, Pei Yaoqing, Pei Zunqing were all prominent for a while, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Pei's family avoided trouble in Jiannan, and later returned to the army of the three towns of Hebei to raid Hebei, defeated the army of the three towns of Hebei, so that there was a power vacuum in Hebei, Pei Zunqing, who was the assassin of Ye County, seized the opportunity to recruit the remnants of the three towns and the displaced people in Hebei, and established 100,000 Hebei Army, which is the basis for the rise of Pei's family.

The current head of the family, Pei Jun, is the eldest son of Pei Zunqing, who took over the position of head of the family in the sixth year of Qingzhi, and also took over as the left minister of the Tang Dynasty at the same time, and it has been a full ten years.

Zhang Ruohao's carriage did not stop in front of the gate of Pei's mansion, but drove directly, and there was also a carriage parked at the gate of Pei's mansion, with a wide and gorgeous body, and nearly 100 heavily armored guards beside the car showed the noble identity of the owner of the carriage.

"Do you see that? Cui Yuan also began his phase-saving operation. Zhang Ruohao kept staring at the carriage, and he suddenly smiled faintly: "But it can also be seen that Cui Yuan is not very sure!" ”

Zhang Huan didn't speak, he suddenly remembered Miss Pei who he met on the boat, and he didn't know if he could see her again today?

At this moment, in Pei Jun's small reception room, Cui Yuanzheng cautiously put forward his own suggestion, he wanted to marry Pei Ying, the pearl of the Pei family, for his nephew Cui Xiong.

Cui Yuan is full of energy, he has a hundred wives and concubines, but although there are many seeds, there are few germinations, so far he only has one son and one daughter, his son Cui Xian was the magistrate of Shu County, and five years ago he married the eldest granddaughter of Jiannan Yang Qi as his wife, and thus tied Jiannan Yang tightly to the Cui family's trouser belt.

So the task of marrying Pei Jun's youngest daughter Pei Ying also fell on Cui Qinggong's eldest son Cui Xiong, Cui Xiong is notorious, this Cui Yuan also knows, but this is not important, the important thing is the family, Cui Xiong is the eldest son of the second brother, only he can be worthy of Pei Jun's pearl.

Another layer of Cui Xiong's deep meaning is to eliminate the bad consequences of his exploits, Wei Ge wants to use the rescue of Kaiyang County to make trouble, he Cui Yuan is not afraid, a cautious use of troops can prevaricate the past, who can guarantee that the Hui people will not set up an ambush halfway?

It is said that there are many people from Longyou Academy in that group of scholars, and it is impossible for Wei Ge not to make a fuss about this matter, so it is also extremely necessary to find a powerful person for Cui Xiong.

Regarding Cui Yuan's marriage suggestion, Pei Jun was silent.

This is not because of the abrupt mention, as early as a few months ago, Cui Yuan brought Cui Xiong to visit him, and asked Cui Xiong to escort Pei Ying back to Yejun Benzong, but it didn't happen because Cui Xiong was in the army, but Cui Yuan's intention at that time Pei Jun understood.

Today, Cui Yuan officially raised this matter, which can be regarded as expected, but the marriage between the two involves the interests of too many people, and he can't agree happily.

Pei Jun is a very elegant man, less than fifty years old, born with a long face, fair skin, he is good at poetry, especially intoxicated with calligraphy, his father-in-law is the famous Yan Zhenqing, Pei Jun not only inherited his calligraphy in a solemn, simple and majestic style, but also contains his own unique spirituality.

Pei Jun has a lot of children, Pei Ying is his youngest daughter, the most favored by him, she went to Longyou two months ago to play, did not return for a long time, did not come back until a few days ago, almost encountered a military disaster, was severely reprimanded by Pei Jun, and sent her back to Ye County.

Cui Yuan saw that Pei Jun didn't say anything for a long time, so he smiled and said further tentatively: "Our male boy is Chu Qiao among the descendants of the Cui family, in the future he will inherit the military power of my second brother and become a general in a town. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Yuan glanced at Pei Jun, and seeing that his face was still expressionless, he smiled slightly: "Brother Pei is not obsessed with Xiong'er's past!" ”

"Ren Xia is debauched and does not do his job, who didn't come over like this when he was young? I, Pei Jun, am not so short-sighted, but I also have a hard time. ”

Speaking of hardships, Pei Jun also smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Cui also knows that my wife died in childbirth when she gave birth to Ying'er, and I promised her at that time that Ying'er's husband and wife would be chosen by her own in the future, and I would never interfere, so Wei Ge asked for his eldest son Wei Qing to marry Ying'er several times, but I politely refused, there is only one reason, as long as Ying'er is willing, whether it is Cui Xiong or Wei Qing, I can agree, Brother Cui, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Huh! I also have a baby daughter, how can I not understand Brother Pei's calf protection? Cui Yuan, of course, understood what Pei Jun meant by his words, in the dispute between Wei and Cui, he would take neutrality and no one would protect him.

That's fine, he has already won three of the seven members of the cabinet, Pei Jun remains neutral, and then wins Chu Xingshui over, he will be able to gain the upper hand at the New Year's court, Cui Yuan smiled, "I'm afraid that Brother Pei will see Wei Qing's outstanding talent at that time, and his heart will be hot and he will make decisions for his daughter." ”

Pei Jun stared at him and said slowly, "Brother Cui, don't you believe me?" ”

"Where! Where! I'm just kidding. ”

Cui Yuan's heart relaxed, he didn't mention it anymore, and after a few words of greeting, he said goodbye and left, just when Cui Yuan's carriage gradually moved away, Zhang Ruohao's carriage stopped in front of Pei's mansion, and without waiting for his entourage to come forward to report, Pei Jun, who had just sent Cui Yuan away, heard the news and turned back.

"Brother Zhang, what a good day is today, Cui Xiangguo just left, you come again!" Pei Jun glanced at Zhang Huan and said with a slight smile: "Could it be that you are also here to propose to the little girl for your son and nephew?" ”

Zhang Ruohao's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that Cui Yuan was here to propose, but from Pei Jun's tone, he didn't seem to agree, that is, he still had a chance.

Zhang Ruohao hurriedly pulled Zhang Huan over and said with a smile: "Today I came to introduce Zuo Xiangguo to a junior of my Zhang family, this is the son of my sixth brother, called Zhang Huan." ”

Zhang Huan stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "The younger generation has seen Uncle Pei Shi!" ”

Pei Jun was a little surprised, he stared at Zhang Huan deeply, and said, "Are you the Zhang Huan Zhang who made Cui Xiong suspicious of taking credit?" ”

Although the burning of Wannian County Ya and the kidnapping of Cui Yuan's only daughter are all related to this person, Pei Jun only heard about it, and there is no evidence, so it is not good for him to mention this matter.

Zhang Huan smiled, "Actually, the burning of the military rations is also related to Miss Pei, if she hadn't provided the horses and Zhao San fought bloodily, I'm afraid I would have died in Longyou!" ”

"Huh! That dead girl has a tight mouth, I don't even know. Pei Jun heard that Zhang Huan knew his daughter, his smile became friendly, he held Zhang Huan's hand and smiled: "It's a pity that you came one step late, my daughter just returned to Yejun yesterday and came back after the New Year." ”

Hearing that Pei Ying was not there, Zhang Huan's heart was slightly lost, and he smiled reluctantly: "We also borrowed Miss Pei's horses there and haven't returned them, I'll send them another day." ”

"Those horses are my gift to my nephew!" Pei Jun smiled slightly, he patted Zhang Huan's shoulder and said meaningfully to Zhang Ruohao: "It seems that my baby daughter is really a sweet and sweet, Wei Qing wants to marry her, Cui Xiong also wants to marry her, and now it seems that Zhang Xian's nephew also wants to join it, but I won't interfere, it depends on the ability of the three of you?" ”

.......

The carriage was moving in a mixed manner on Suzaku Street, Zhang Ruohao kept silent, Pei Jun understood what he meant, he wanted to stay out of the matter, but Zhang Ruohao also knew that although the seven great families met in turn back then, in fact, it was still the strength.

Now the Cui family has the strongest troops, and the power in the court is also the largest, although it has been the turn of the Wei family, but Wei Ge really wants to replace Cui Yuan, which is actually unrealistic.

Pei Jun also understands this, so he adopts neutrality, so what about his Zhang family? If Cui Yuan keeps his position, the first thing he has to clean up must be the Zhang family in Hedong.

Zhang Ruohao sighed softly, glanced at it, and looked at Zhang Huan again.

Whether it is seeing Wei Ge or Pei Jun, Zhang Huan always has amazing words, although he told himself these things, but Zhang Ruohao still felt that he still had unfinished words, at least many details he didn't say, such as the matter of Miss Pei's family, such as how he saved Wei Qing, how he burned the grain and grass, he didn't mention these details, this was obviously not his unintentional negligence, but he didn't want to tell himself.

Zhang Ruohao was somewhat unhappy, but Zhang Huanruo really told him in detail that he would be disappointed again, after all, people without the city government could not achieve great things.

The carriage turned a corner, Zhang Ruohao quickly glanced at Zhang Huan by turning sideways, only to see him staring at the street, his eyes were calm, Zhang Ruohao smiled slightly: "It will be the New Year in a few days, you can go and pay a New Year's greeting to Zhang Potian for me!" ”
