"Okay, okay." Xu Kang looked at Pei Xiao Yu with a smile, and Pei Xiao asked curiously, "Is there any other place where we want to send an envoy?" ”

Xu Kang nodded and said, "King Yue said that the Khitan and the Xia Kingdom need someone to go to Xuanfu. ”

Sure enough, Li Yuan's important ministers have all become officials in Chang'an, which is more convincing than anything else, and the magnates of the Khitan and Xi Kingdom are probably scared to death. Pei Lin asked with a gloomy face: "Is it that my family members have arrived in Chang'an?" ”

Xu Kang said politely: "Not only the two sons of Lawyer Pei and Master Pei have arrived, but also the three sons of Xiao Rui, Xiao Kai, Xiao Zhen and the three young ladies Xiao Fale have also arrived. ”

Lawyer Pei and Master Pei are Pei Lian's two sons, Xiao Rui and the six are Xiao Yu's children, Xu Kang didn't say a word of persecution, but the meaning is there, if Pei Lin and Xiao Yu are killed as war criminals, the best result for the children is to be slaves and maids; Pei Xiao said in a deep voice: "Tell Yang Chong that I am willing to go to the country of Xia." ”

Xu Kang heard Pei Lian's dissatisfaction, shook his head and said, "Master Pei, compare your heart to your heart, if you capture Chang'an, will you give King Yue a chance to live?" ”

Definitely not, according to Li Yuan's virtue, the beauty may be able to stay, Yang Chong and Yang Chong's children must be a dead word, as Li Yuan's chief minister, Pei Lin probably will not come forward to say a word of pleading. Pei was stunned, changed his expression, and thanked Xu Kang: "Thank you Lord Xu for reminding me, it was Pei who acted recklessly." Question, how are Wang Qi and Wei Ting now? ”

Xu Kang said: "The king of Yue attaches great importance to the two of them, Wang Qi is the military officer of the Yue Wangfu household, and Wei Ting is the military officer. ”

Xu Kang is not wrong, Wang Qi and Wei Ting are petty officials who participate in the military because they are officials who have just surrendered, and their loyalty and other aspects need to be examined, but Yang Chong's recruitment of the two into the Yue Wangfu is an affirmation of their ability, and the rest is to see if the two can withstand the inspection and whether there is any difference between them and Yang Chong in terms of political concepts. Sun Fujia secretly rejoiced that the Pei family, the Xiao family, and the Wen family had actually sent people to find him, hoping that he could consider the law, and Yang Chong saved himself a lot of trouble by doing so.

Sun Fujia was about to say two sentences, and was suddenly surprised, why didn't he send officials from the Ministry of Rites or Officials to talk about such an important matter, but Xu Kang from the Criminal Department; Sun Fujia thought deeply, and couldn't help but sweat on his back, Xu Kang is a hardcore supporter of Yang Chong, even if Xu Kang's teacher Zhou Qian was standing on the opposite side of Yang Chong, Xu Kang secretly contributed to Yang Chong, if Pei Lin and others wanted to play some tricks to play the political hall, then Xu Kang could only prove his innocence to the bigwigs by taking the family of the two families out of anger.

Xiao Yu obviously thought about this clearly, and said that he was willing to go to the Khitan to preach for comfort; Xu Kang went out satisfied, and after a while, Chu Suiliang hurriedly came in, met Sun Fujia, and said to Pei Lin and the others with a smile: "Listening to Lord Xu, the three adults have suddenly woken up and are willing to contribute to the imperial court. Xiao Yu was a member of the Ministry of Rites and sent an envoy to the Khitan; Wen Dayou was the secretary and sent an envoy to Goguryeo. Spend the New Year in Chang'an and set off ten days later. ”

The three of them are not the same official positions, which shows that the political affairs hall still made special considerations, not just to fool things around; The three accepted the official position, and Sun Fujia immediately asked his subordinates to open the shackles, find a jailer to cut their hair, and arrange for Pei Lin and the three to bathe and change clothes in Dali Temple; changed into the official uniform brought by Chu Suiliang, and the size of the clothes was just right.

Pei Lin and others didn't expect that there was a place to take a hot bath in Dali Temple, Sun Fujia explained: "What King Yue said, Dali Temple tried the case, it is inevitable to work overtime, and building a working bathroom can make everyone relax halfway, Zhongshu Province, Criminal Department, Military Department, and Secretary and Prison all have such facilities." The only thing that is bad is that this kind of bath is a public bath, and servants are not allowed to serve these practices. ”

Everyone laughed, this kind of bath is to eliminate fatigue, and the smell of exquisiteness changes; Pei Lin and the others followed Chu Suiliang to see Cui Chuzhi, Cui Chuzhi comforted and encouraged a few words, and each of them gave a case file, which was about the information and maps of the Qi Kingdom, Khitan, and Goguryeo, as well as the purpose and strategy of the Ministry of Rites' envoy. Xiao Yu's feelings are not particularly big, Pei Lin and Wen Da have mixed feelings, Li Tang has never had such detailed information when he interacts with other people; This is the case in the country of Qi and Khitan, and Chang'an was afraid that several rooms were dissatisfied with Li Tang's preparation materials at that time.

When leaving the Criminal Department, Wen Da intentionally saw his father Wen Junyou sitting in the carriage at the gate of the palace waiting for him, Wen Junyou said with a calm face at the window, "Get in the car." ”

Pei Lin and Xiao Yu went to the post house, the real estate of the two in Chang'an was given by Li Yuan, and they had already been accepted as state-owned. As soon as Wen Da got into the carriage, Wen Junyou ordered: "Go to the Yue Palace." ”

Wen Dayou was about to dissuade him, but Wen Junyou said coldly: "Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are dead, do you still want to go to Yulin to join Li Shimin?" ”

Wen Dayou whispered, "Don't dare." ”

Wen Junyou snorted and said, "Look at the Wang family and the Pei family, which one is not a two-headed bet, the three of you brothers are better to join Li Yuan's sect together." Let me tell you, Yang Chong agreed to pardon the three of you because he saw that Wang Shujie and I fully supported the Hexi Army when the Turks attacked Taiyuan; But Yanbo's bastard couldn't let go of it, and he refused to say a soft word, so that you, Pei Lian, and Xiao Yu had to go to the Northeast. ”

This is family, no matter how angry Wen Junyou is, he still does his best; Wen Dayou smiled and asked, "Are you okay at home?" ”

Wen Junyou replied, "Okay." Yang Chong didn't want people to be stunned, all the borrowed materials and money were IOUs, as soon as the siege of Taiyuan was lifted, they began to cash out one after another, and the personnel had casualties during the war, all of them were treated according to the army's treatment, and now the reputation of the Hexi Army in Taiyuan is higher. You can take a look at the new atmosphere in Henan and Hebei all the way this time, and you will know that there is no reason for Li Yuan's failure, it is only a matter of time. ”

Wen Dayou shook his head and said: "Don't look at it, all the way from Hanzhong, there are too many things to see, in just one year, more than 200,000 bureaucrats have settled in Hanzhong and Bazhong, and it took us almost four years to settle 20,000 people." ”

Wen Junyou showed a smile and said: "It's good that you have this awakening, the world has been decided, Feng Ang and Ning Changzhen have already submitted the letter of surrender, and the political affairs hall has appointed Lin Shihong as the Guangzhou Assassin and Wu Guogong, Ning Changzhen as the Qinzhou Assassin and An Guogong, Zhang Zhenzhou as the Yongzhou Assassin and Qiu Guogong, and Feng Ang as the Gaozhou Assassin and Geng Guogong." ”

The two lakes and Lingnan are really determined by the legend, which shows that the people's hearts are wanted, and the people are safe; Wen Junyou didn't speak again, and let the carriage walk on the bluestone slab until it stopped at the gate of King Yue's mansion. Hearing the report of the guards in front of the door, Wang Jue greeted him with a smile from inside, and said to Wen Junyou, "Uncle Shi, King Yue is invited." ”
