Wu took a step forward and gently slammed the door, but no one answered, and after two more buckles, he heard an old voice coming from inside: "Who is it, don't you know that my family doesn't see guests when they are not on duty?" Hurry up. ”

Wu Yong hurriedly said: "Old man, Xiaosheng is not here to disturb the rest of adults, but an old friend of Master Pei, just happened to pass by here to visit, say a few words and leave, and hope to report." ”

The back door opened in the middle of the ring, and an old man who was at least sixty years old, with white hair and plain clothes, poked his head out and looked at Du Jia and the three of them a few times, and probably felt that it was not like that kind of officialdom, so his face softened.

Wu Yong hurriedly bowed down and sang: "Old man, Xiaosheng is called Wu Yong, there is a friend Sun Zhiran and your master Pei are both students of the Ministry of Rites Wang Shilang, this Du Gongzi is a big man, I have something important to inform your master today, please let the old man report it." ”

The old man nodded and went, and came back after a while, opened the door and said, "Come in, my lord is in a good mood at the moment." Count your luck in, all come in. ”

After Du Jia nodded in thanks, he followed the old man into the courtyard, and then the old man directly closed the door with a bang, obviously not planning to entertain others anymore.

After walking into the hall, I saw a man in his thirties, white and chubby, who was drinking tea and reading there, it was Pei Xuan, Wu Yong stepped forward, smiled slightly and bowed, just about to introduce himself, but he was interrupted by Pei Xuan.

"This official recognizes you, you should be called Wu Yong, a person from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, right?"

This time, not only Wu Yong, but Du Jia was stunned, and Wu Yong asked strangely: "What Lord Kong Mu said is very true, I didn't expect that it was just a meeting, and the adult still remembered the name of Xiaosheng, which is really amazing." ”

Pei Xuan's eyes swept Wu Yong and said with a faint smile: "Those of us who are Confucius, there are more than a hundred thousand things we handle every day, if we can't forget it, how can we ensure that there will be no mistakes?"

In addition, I remember you, although you are only white, but you have some real insight, so this official specially asked you to see you, do you really think that I am giving you the face of that so-called classmate? To be honest, even your classmate didn't bother to pay attention to it. ”

Wu Yong and Du Jia glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's shock, especially Du Jia, who had already attached great importance to Pei Xuan, but now he found that it was still not enough.

This man's keen observation, unforgettable memory, and upright personality were extremely rare qualities, and Du Jia made up his mind in an instant to recruit him no matter what.

Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Master Pei is so powerful, so that many of the words that Xiao Sheng thought about before are useless, then I will also go straight to the point and say it directly, I am entrusted by someone this time, and I want to talk to adults about how to resolve the crisis in Yanping Mansion." ”

Now it was Pei Xuan's turn to be surprised: "The crisis in Yanping Mansion? How did you know about this matter, not to mention that it is not the turn of this official to take care of this matter, you should go to Governor Zhao. ”

Wu Yong smiled: "We have already talked to Governor Zhao, but he is just a puppet at the mercy of others, and he can't do big things, so we came to Lord Pei." ”

Although Pei Xuan didn't say it directly, he was still quite complacent in his heart, Wu Yong was tantamount to admitting that his ability and role were far above that of the Zhao Governor's Mansion.

Pei Xuan said reservedly: "Mr. is polite, it seems that you are a lobbyist for that Liangshan?" No wonder Governor Zhao is not so keen on the annihilation of Liangshan now, it turns out that he secretly colluded with those thieves. ”

Wu Yong smiled: "It's not a secret, Xiaosheng has now gone to Liangshan, and he is also a military advisor on the mountain, and I also want to invite adults to go up the mountain together this time." ”

Pei Xuanyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and his hand was unconsciously pressed on the saber, and shouted: "Wu Yong, I didn't expect you to succumb to the thief, it's really disappointing to the official, I have nothing to say to you now, you leave quickly, otherwise the official will have to take you down!" ”

Wu Yong was not flustered, and said slowly: "My lord, if the court is enlightened and the emperor is promising, then Xiaosheng will naturally take serving the country as his own responsibility, but now you don't know the situation of the court.

But the people above still don't want to repent, and they are even more intensified, that Emperor Zhezong is mediocre enough, I didn't expect this Huizong to be worse than him, nepotism, not enterprising, the whole dynasty is full of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and the like, and those who really have the ability and talent are suppressed - I'm afraid that this adult has personal experience, right? Does such a court still have to be loyal to the adults? ”

Pei Xuan said with a calm face: "No matter what, I, Pei, will never do that disloyal and unrighteous thing, there are indeed many problems in the court today, but as long as the emperor can suddenly wake up, with His Majesty's wisdom, he may not be able to become the first emperor of the ages like Tang Taizong, you go quickly, don't be verbose." ”

At this time, Du Jia, who had not spoken behind Wu Yong, suddenly said: "Master Pei, may I ask the people and the community, which is more important?" ”

Pei Xuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "This still needs to be asked, naturally it is the social priority." ”

Du Jia stroked his palms and laughed: "Well said, Master Pei is really a believer of Tang Taizong, Taizong's words are also familiar, and he blurted out without thinking, yes, Tang Taizong had already given the answer to the next question, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, Tang Taizong attaches the most importance to the people, so there is a prosperous era of Zhenguan's rule, but now what is the situation of our Mr. Wu has already said very clearly, and people like Song Huizong go to write, write, paint, and play with stones. How could he have the lives and deaths of the people at heart?

Therefore, the faint monarch that Master Pei said once woke up is just a beautiful dream in the hearts of the adults themselves, as for whether it can be realized, I guess the adults have lived in the officialdom for a long time, I know better than me, so don't deceive yourself anymore. ”

Pei Xuan was shocked when he heard this, Wu Yong's words were bold enough, and it was a capital crime to spread it, but scholars have always liked to talk about government affairs, especially scolding traitors or something, occasionally there are crazy people who even dare to say a few words about the emperor, Pei Xuan is also used to it, so he just thinks that Wu Yong is 'different from each other', and it is just a matter of driving him away.

But Du Jia's words are too terrifying, this is no longer a discussion of the government but a complete rebellion, even the emperor was scolded by him, this is not the future of democracy and openness after all, but any official of the Song Dynasty will be scared half to death when he hears this, Pei Xuan is bold, but he was so frightened that he almost fell.

His twin swords had already been drawn out for a long time, and he asked sharply, "Who is Ernai?" Dare to say such a rebellious remark, aren't you afraid that this official will kill you on the spot? ”
