Chapter 6 The Imperial Historian Pei Yun

"Xuan, Imperial Doctor Pei Yun and Jiangyang County Magistrate Zhang Huishao are here!"

With the slender and sharp announcement of the eunuch guarding the door outside the Ganlu Palace, Pei Yun, who was wearing a purple robe wearing a goldfish bag, and Zhang Huishao, who was wearing a green robe, lowered their heads and took broken steps, walked quickly to the center of the hall, and saluted:

"Imperial Doctor Pei Yun, see the Holy Lord!"

"Zhang Huishao, the magistrate of Jiangyang County, see the saint!"

"Excuse me, sit down!"

With the help of the little eunuch moving the stool, Yang Guang looked at Pei Yun, one of the so-called "Seven Nobles", the official residence Yinqing Guanglu Doctor and the Imperial History Doctor, and remembered the story about him.

Pei Yun, who was born in the Shandong clan, is a clear and eloquent person. At the beginning, he was an official in the Chen Dynasty, and served as a general of the Zhige and a Xingning order.

In the eighth year of the emperor's reign, Pei Yun trusted his ancestors and secretly sent a letter to Yang Jian, saying "please respond internally".

After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Nan Chen, he was awarded Yitong and Jiakaifu, and then successively served as the assassin of Yang, Zhi, Di and other states, which was very famous.

At the beginning of the great cause, Pei Yun won the championship year after year in the performance evaluation, and Emperor Yang of Sui heard about his good governance and was recruited as a servant of the Ministry of the People. At that time, the phenomenon of household registration leakage was very serious, and the people concealed their age in order to evade taxes and avoid forced labor, which had a great impact on the financial and agricultural production of the Great Sui.

Therefore, Pei Yunzuo asked to adopt the "appearance reading method", that is, each account is reviewed by the lawsuit and verified with me. In this way, not only can gender and age be enforced, but the number of people is also more reliable.

In order to implement these measures, he also stipulated: If one person is not truthful, the lawsuit will be dismissed, and the township chief will be far away. It also stipulates the method of rewarding whistleblowers: if there is a missing report in the household register, the informant's family can be exempted from forced labor and tax, and the defendant's family will bear it.

After these measures were put into practice, the results were very obvious. The population of the Great Sui was counted at 443,000 ding, and the new population was 1,641,500.

Later, Pei Yun was promoted to the imperial historian and began his own road of flattery.

He is full of words and clever words. The legal principles discussed, if they are in suspense, whether they are heavy or light, are all analyzed by their mouths, and they are clearly analyzed, and people cannot be criticized at the time. Whoever the emperor wants to blame, he will bend the law and forge his guilt. If it is a person that the emperor wants to cover, it will be attached to the light code, so it will be released. The Criminal Department and Dali Temple dare not take it, they must be admitted, and then decided.

Therefore, Pei Yun became a celebrity in front of Emperor Yang of Sui. and Nayan Su Wei, Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, Yu Wenshu, the general of Zuo Yiwei, Zhang Jin, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, Yu Shiji, the waiter of the internal history, and Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, participated in the election (personnel appointment and dismissal) affairs, and the people of the time called the seven of them "Election Cao Qigui".

And now, Niu Hong and Yu Wenshu have died of illness, the old minister Su Wei has been brought down, Zhang Jin is a talented sycophant, and the military and political affairs of the Great Sui have all fallen into the hands of Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, and Pei Ju.

These three people are figuring out their intentions every day, and they are bent to meet each other, so that the world is in chaos and out of control. As a result, these three people became traitors shouted and beaten by everyone in the world, and Pei Yun and Yu Shiji were also killed by angry soldiers in the Jiangdu Mutiny. Only Pei Ju was cunning and cunning, and he left a hand, and found a wife for the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army when he was in Jiangdu, and the soldiers felt their kindness and were spared.

Later, Pei Ju was able to reach the prime minister's high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty, and the history was known as "the traffic between China and the West, and the merit was better than Zhang Qian".

Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help but sigh, what kind of monarch, what kind of courtiers will have, like Pei Ju, who flattered the Sui Dynasty and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it was not that their nature had changed, but that the monarch hated hearing about his own mistakes, so loyalty would become treacherous; The king loves to hear righteous speech, and then treachery turns into loyalty. The so-called relationship between the upper beam and the lower beam!

recalled Pei Yun's life and sorted out the experience of the relationship between monarchs and ministers that he had summarized, and Yang Guang's confidence in turning danger into danger and regaining the rivers and mountains was even better!

After Pei Yun and Zhang Huishao sat down, Yang Guang said straight to the point: "Looking for you, I know what it is, right!?" County Magistrate Zhang, tell me what you know first. ”

Zhang Huishao immediately stood up, clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the saint, the minister has a relative who is on an errand in the mansion of Xu Guogong, and he has personally seen Hu Benlang's generals Sima Dejia and Yuan Li, Zhige General Pei Qiantong and other Xiaoguo army and Imperial Forest Army generals and colonels have entered and exited Xu Guogong's mansion many times, so they were suspicious, and further overheard the news that they wanted to rebel against the mutiny, and then informed Yu Weichen. ”

"The minister knew earlier that the hearts of the Xiaoguo army were fluctuating, and the soldiers were very homesick, and in connection with this situation, he guessed that they wanted to use the psychological conspiracy of the Xiaoguo army to go home and rebel! So, Weichen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came to Jiangdu to find Master Pei and told him all about the situation. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Huishao said that the situation was in his own expectation, and it was completely consistent with the historical data, Yang Guang nodded, and turned to Pei Yun to ask: "Doctor Pei, it's your turn!" ”

Pei Yun had already typed the draft, and said directly: "After the minister learned the news, he immediately paid attention to it, and sent the detailed work sent to investigate the Xiaoguo army to report that Sima Dejiao and others were demagogic to the army, saying that the Holy General was going to poison all the northern people with poisonous wine, leaving the southerners alone to migrate to Danyang with the Holy Shang. As soon as such rumors came out, the Xiaoguo army was immediately in turmoil, and there was a tendency to mutiny. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Yun glanced at Yang Guang's face, and saw that there was no displeasure, so he continued: "Because, the matter is urgent, the minister went to Yu Shilang on the same day, wanting to fake the will of the saint, and directly came to Hu'er and Chen Ling's army to come in to quell the rebellion!" However, Bolang was timid, and this matter was not allowed, and the minister was worried that the saint would blame Weichen, so Weichen 。。。。。。 ”

"So, you act as if nothing happened, and you're ready to die with me!?" Yang Guang suddenly shouted.

Seeing Yang Guang's sudden anger, Pei Yun was so frightened that he fell to his knees at once, kowtowed, and said: "The saint is angry, and Weichen is guilty of death!" Weichen is a capital offense! ”

Yang Guang was angry when he saw Pei Yun's appearance, it was because of his timidity and fear that the change in Jiangdu would happen, so he scolded: "Pei Yun, don't you usually shoot very loudly?" At the critical moment, why don't you dare to report the truth to me? Am I that scary? Will I eat you? ”

Pei Yun trembled when he was scolded, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said, "Long live the crime of Weichen!" Long live the sin of Wechen! ”

"Whew!" Yang Guang breathed a long sigh of relief, Yang Guang knew that the main thing to blame for this matter was the predecessor, the good Great Sui Dynasty, which was played like this!

Yang Guang sighed in his heart, if he hadn't crossed over by mistake, according to historical development, none of the Sui Yang clan, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and others would have been able to escape! All of them had to die!
