Da Song is the first time to come to the Tang Dynasty Xiangguo's mansion, he is full of amazement and curiosity about everything, the magnificent buildings, the splendid painted beams and eaves, can be compared with their own Bohai Kingdom's palace, but every subtlety reflects the originality and fineness, but the Bohai Kingdom can not be compared.

He suddenly remembered a comment from his Mr. Sinology: Bohai only has the shape of the Tang Dynasty, but it has not obtained its spirit, which can be seen only from the architecture.

Pei Mingyao, who led the way to Da Song in front, at this moment, he was extremely nervous and joyful in his heart, his father praised his strategic vision for the first time, and when he stated that if the Khitan annexed the Bohai Kingdom, it would definitely become a great disaster in the Central Plains, his father actually patted him on the shoulder and praised him for planning great things.

Seeking great things, this is also the first time that his father said these three words to him, which made Pei Mingyao's voice choked, he knew that he had made the right move, just from his father's extremely serious expression and the order that he immediately lead Bohai Wang Shu Jin to see, it can be seen that his father attaches great importance to this matter.

The two of them walked through the door all the way through the house, and walked up to a corridor, the corridor is in an arc, and in the middle is a pool of clear water, at this moment a layer of thin ice has formed, and at the end of the corridor is his father's study, Pei Mingyao couldn't help but glance back at the Bohai King Book behind him, and saw that his eyes showed a trace of nervousness, so he stopped and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, since my father wants to see you immediately, it shows that he attaches great importance to your country, and I will do my best to help you achieve your wish, but I will also ask you one thing later." ”

Da Song hurriedly bowed and saluted. "The great help of the second public book is in my heart, please rest assured that the second public book can do it, but if I can do it, I will never postpone it."

"That's good!" Pei Mingyao smiled slightly, he was just about to speak, and suddenly his face changed greatly. staring ahead with angry eyes, I saw Pei Mingkai walking from the other entrance of the cloister to the door of his father's study, and went in after saying a word.

Needless to say, he came to compete with himself, Pei Mingyao's fists were pinched so that his knuckles turned white, and his teeth were gnawed one after another. He suddenly turned around and whispered to Da Song: "Wait a while, you will tell my father, I hope that I will take the lead in this matter with all my might, this matter is very important, you must remember!" ”

"Second official letter, please rest assured, I will definitely do it!"

Da Song also saw Pei Mingyao's hatred for the person in front of him, but he didn't know who the other party was. I was slightly surprised.

The two of them circled along the corridor and came to Pei Jun's study, and the guards at the door immediately stepped forward and said, "Second Gongshu, Xiangguo has been waiting for you for a long time, go in quickly!" ”

Pei Mingyao saw that there were no outsiders left and right, so he asked the guard in a low voice: "Did my father look for him just now, or did he come by himself?" ”

Of course, the guards understood who he was referring to. **Starter** hesitated and said: "Xiangguo came to him." ”

Pei Mingyao's heart sank suddenly, at this moment he actually had a trace of resentment towards his father, this was obviously his own credit, why did his father call Pei Mingkai again, how unfair? He took a deep breath, then turned back to Da Song and said, "You wait a while, I will call you in." ”

With that, he straightened his clothes and walked quickly into his father's study.

Things are not as sensitive as Pei Mingyao, Pei Jun called Changshu. In fact, there are other things to explain.

"I'm going to go to Bashang early tomorrow morning, and then I'm going to Tongguan, I may not be back until the fifth day of the new year, it is estimated that there will be a lot of officials who will come to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, you have come back for me one by one, and there are a few ministers, you have to go to them for me to pay New Year's greetings, you know?"

Pei Mingkai stood in front of his father with his hands down. Listen to your father's arrangement. He had seen several written prayer notes on his father's bookcase, and a few words were written on the first cover. It was like the five words of Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Pei Mingkai's heart jumped, he didn't dare to look at it more, so he responded respectfully: "Please rest assured, father, I will definitely do it." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Jun was quite satisfied with his attitude, so he instructed again: "You are a long book, when I am not at home, everything in the house must be taken care of by you, if there is any major matter that is difficult to deal with, or send someone to report to me, or go to your second uncle to discuss, in short, do not delay." ”

Pei Jun said this, but suddenly saw the second book Mingyao standing at the door, so he stopped talking and asked him, "Did anyone bring it?" ”

Pei Mingyao had already heard his father's instructions to Pei Mingkai clearly, although it had nothing to do with the affairs of Bohai Kingdom, Pei Mingyao still felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, after all, it was also a big deal to pick up people and things on behalf of his father during the New Year, and he didn't dare to show the dissatisfaction in his heart, so he bowed down and replied: "Back to my father's words, someone brought it." ”

"Okay, please let him in." Pei Jun put down the pen and sat upright, ready to meet the king of the Bohai Kingdom, but Pei Mingkai took a step back and stood against the wall, without any intention of leaving.

Like Pei Mingyao, Pei Mingkai will not let go of any opportunity easily, if he is not suitable to listen to this matter, his father will naturally let him leave, and now that his father did not let him go, how could he give up stupidly and automatically?

Perhaps this is the eye of a generous person, it is like a needle in a cushion, which will prick people coldly. ::First-Released UC eBook::

Pei Mingyao turned around and went out, but at the moment he turned around, the hatred in his heart was finally revealed in his eyes, Pei Mingkai's mind he knew better than anyone else, this damn lame book!

Pei Jun also knew the secret battle between the two children's books, he sighed secretly, and was about to let Changshu out, but after a while, he couldn't help but say it, some things in the open may not be a bad thing.

After a while, Pei Mingyao introduced Da Song into the room, and Da Song immediately stepped forward, bowed to Pei Jun and said, "Your Majesty the Governor of Bohai, Da Song will see Xiangguo." ”

Most of the subject countries of the Tang Dynasty have dual identities, on the one hand, they are independent countries, on the other hand, they are the canonized governors of the Tang Dynasty, the kings of small countries are crowned governors, and the kings of large countries are crowned kings or county kings, such as the king of Nanzhao, the king of Bohai County, and so on.

Seeing that he knew the courtesy, Pei Jun couldn't help but smile and nodded. "I have heard for a long time that the people of Bohai know etiquette and etiquette, and today it seems that it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"Xiangguo has a good reputation." Da Song hurriedly said modestly: "The land of Bohai is a small country and a widow, and it has only learned the scale and half of the claws of the Celestial Empire, and it does not dare to be praised by the Xiangguo!" ”

Pei Jun smiled and asked some more about the customs and recent situation of the Bohai Kingdom, but he did not mention the matter of military assistance at all. Pei Mingyao next to him wanted to open his mouth to remind him several times, but he didn't dare to be abrupt when the words came to his mouth.

At this time, Pei Mingkai next to him saw the housekeeper shaking outside, so he quietly walked out, only to see Pei Danming standing outside the door, looking quite excited. Then he asked him, "What is it?" ”

"Back to the Grand Duke's letter, there is news from Chen Liu's side, Wei Deqing attacked Cui Qinggong's camp last night and won a complete victory, Cui Qinggong suffered heavy casualties, and led the remnants to flee to the southeast, and our Hedong Army has killed Ruyang."

Pei Mingkai was in good spirits. Quickly went back to the house and whispered a few words in his father's ear, Pei Jun was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing, Wei Deqing was really powerful, and he used the signing of an armistice agreement to paralyze the other party, and the result was a surprise battle, Cui Qinggong hurt his vitality. It is not far from complete defeat, and getting this news on New Year's Eve is undoubtedly the best New Year's gift.

Pei Mingyao saw that his father was in a good mood, so he took advantage of his father's inattention and gently kicked Da Song, who immediately knelt down and wept: "The Khitan people are fierce and invincible, and the Bohai Kingdom is in danger, begging the Celestial Empire to protect it." ”

"You mean that my Datang sent troops to help!" Pei Jun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the Bohai Kingdom has always been a subject country of the Tang Dynasty." I also sent troops to help when I pacified the Anshi Rebellion, and my Datang naturally will not sit idly by, you can rest in peace, take a look at my Heavenly Empire, and I have my own arrangements for sending troops. ”

Da Song thanked him for his kindness, and then said goodbye, and Pei Jun ordered Pei Mingyao to send him out of the mansion and wait for the two to go away. Pei Jun began to write his greetings again. It was very quiet in the room, after a while. Pei Mingkai on the side finally couldn't help but say: "Father, our Hedong Army is still fighting in the Central Plains, if we go out of the Hebei Army to help the Bohai Sea, I am worried that we will be unable to fight on two fronts!" ”

"Nonsense!" Pei Mingyao suddenly appeared at the door, he had been worried that Pei Mingkai would take the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Bohai Sea, so he handed over Da Song to the housekeeper to send it on his behalf, and he himself hurriedly ran back, and he happened to hear Pei Mingkai's words at the door, and he was shocked and angry for a while, and could no longer restrain the hatred in his heart, and angrily reprimanded him: "How short-sighted are you, do you think that your father is really willing to send troops for some vassal country?" Bohai has always been a chess book for my Tang Dynasty to contain the Khitan, if the Bohai Sea is destroyed by the Khitan, the Khitan will inevitably become a big trouble for my henchmen in Hebei, you are ignorant and ignorant, but you are talking nonsense here. ”

"Enough!" Pei Jun coldly interrupted Pei Mingyao's words, "Even if your eldest brother can't think of this, can you still speak in such a tone?" seems to be the enemy of several generations of books, with your little heart, will I rest assured that the future of the Pei family will be handed over to you? ”

"And you!" Pei Jun turned around and reprimanded Pei Mingkai again: "Do you think I don't know about that dim sum eyebook?" Since you are the eldest brother, you should be lenient with your younger siblings, but what do you do? I am so disappointed that you came to sue me at every opportunity, instead of reminding my brother to make fewer mistakes. ”

Pei Mingkai and Pei Mingyao saw their father angry, and they all knelt down in fright, Pei Mingkai wept and said: "The child is unfilial, and he has disappointed his father." ”

Pei Mingyao also kowtowed, and admitted his mistake in shame: "The child doesn't dare anymore." ”

Pei Jun stared at the two brothers for a long time, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "Do you think I won't think about it for you?" I have never mentioned the establishment of another successor to the head of the clan in the clan, just to leave the opportunity to you brothers, I have been observing you all along, from every little thing, as long as you have a little strength, I will keep it in my heart, but you have fought for the brothers for this, it really makes me sad! ”

Speaking of this, Pei Jun rushed into his chest in one breath, coughing again and again, scaring the two brothers one by one and beating his father's back.

"Father, we know we're wrong." Pei Mingkai once again confessed his mistake to his father.

Pei Mingyao also knelt down and kowtowed to his eldest brother, "Big brother, my brother apologizes to you." ”

"Second brother, please get up!" Pei Mingkai hurriedly helped his younger brother up and said to him sincerely: "Big brother is also at fault, you really shouldn't say bad things about you in front of your father." ”

"Alright, you guys!" Pei Jun was very relieved to see that their brothers were reconciled, and his anger disappeared, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it this time, my father will continue to observe you, and I hope you will show me your true skills." ”

"Yes!" The two of them bowed and were about to retreat, but Pei Jun stopped Pei Mingyao, "The Bohai Kingdom is extremely important to our Pei family ten, you go and make friends with Da Song, I heard that the king of Bohai is very old, and a few children's books are fighting for the throne, you go to hint at Da Song, our Datang may support him to ascend the throne, and tell him that I will immediately send troops to Bohai to help them resist the invasion of the Khitans." ”

After that, he quickly wrote two warrants, signed them, and handed them to a guard: "Send this letter to Liu Yi immediately, ordering him to immediately lead the Pinglu army into the Bohai Sea, and order Duan Lianda to go north, and pay attention to preventing the Xi people from colluding with the Khitans." ”

A turmoil caused by the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom asking for help quietly subsided, and the matter of the Pei family's dispatch to the Bohai State was even more confidential, and no one knew about it except for the Pei family's father's book and Da Song.

However, the truth of many things is often covered up by many shady curtains, and ordinary people have limited vision, and they are completely invisible and unthinkable at the beginning of decision-making, and they always have to wait until the consequences have completely happened, and the original decision-maker will suddenly realize that he made a mistake in decision-making.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the whole of Chang'an was immersed in the joy of family reunion, several scouts of the Western Liang Army in ragged clothes and described as emaciated finally arrived in Chang'an City. (When were these scouts sent?) Where to send? Lao Gao has already dug a pit in front, readers may wish to recall, in addition, Lao Gao didn't go anywhere on May Day, writing books at home, eager for everyone's monthly ticket support, and there are only two or three months left for the famous family
