Chapter 162: Someone who must not be provoked
Time back to this morning, Pei Ju smiled and watched after the team of Yi Niang's marriage left, then he went back to the living room to drink tea and rest, Yi Niang has been sent out, and then it depends on Li Xiu's reaction, unless he really wants to fight to break the net, so that Pei and Li can't end it, otherwise he has to obediently accept Yi Niang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, at the beginning, Li Xiu may have some resentment towards himself, and Yi Niang is also not very close to him, but don't forget, after all, he is Yi Niang's biological father, this kind of blood and family relationship is constantly cut by anyone, as long as he is cheeky to go to Li Xiu's mansion to walk around a little more, and let his children and grandchildren give some gifts during the New Year's holidays, it is easy to walk this relative, no matter how big the resentment Li Xiu has in his heart, it will be slowly worn away, this is human nature, Pei Ju has lived for so many years, and he has long seen through this.
It can be said that according to the normal situation, Pei Ju's idea is not very wrong, but unfortunately he missed a point, that is, he didn't expect the relationship between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, after all, he can't be blamed for this, only blame Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang for keeping this matter secretive too well, plus Li Yuan doesn't want his daughter's reputation to be damaged, and he is secretly blocking all news related to them, so Pei Ju doesn't know anything about it, and it is precisely because of this that Pei Ju's calculations are almost all lost, Of course, he didn't notice it yet.
"Master Qiqi, Shangdang County Magistrate Sun Wuji is here to visit!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a subordinate rushing to report.
"Eldest grandson Wuji? How did he get here? Pei Ju couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the report of his subordinates, some time ago he was very close to Li Shimin, but during this time he was more optimistic about Li Jiancheng, so he also cut off contact with Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion, and the eldest grandson Wuji is the second person in Tiance Mansion, and it is impossible for him to come to him at such a time.
Pei Ju didn't want to see it, but he was curious about the reason why the eldest grandson Wuji came, and then he thought about it for a while, so he asked the other party to come in, and after a while, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji, who was wearing civilian clothes and had a white beard, walked in very freely, and when he saw Pei Ju, he also smiled and saluted: "I haven't seen you for many days, Pei Gong is okay?" ”
"Haha~, thank you for the concern of the eldest grandson Langzhong, the old man's body is still healthy, I don't know why the eldest grandson Langzhong came to find the old man?" Pei Ju asked with a smirk, the eldest grandson Wuji official worships Langzhong in the north, mainly to assist Li Shimin in managing the affairs of Tiance Mansion, so Pei Ju is commensurate with Langzhong.
"Hehe, there's nothing else to do, but I heard that Gong Pei is going to marry a daughter, so I came here to congratulate!" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled again.
Originally, he didn't want to come to Pei Ju in person, but had a more tactful plan, after all, an old fox like Pei Ju only needed to give him a hint, but because Li Xiu was urging Li Shimin, Li Shimin had no choice but to urge the eldest grandson Wuji, so he had to come to see Pei Ju in person, planning to cut the mess with a quick knife.
"Haha~, I didn't expect the eldest grandson Langzhong to know about it, but you are already late, because the road is far away, I am worried that it will be delayed, so I asked my second brother to send my daughter to Li Xiu ...... in advance!"
"What, you...... You've sent people away! Without waiting for Pei Ju to finish speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and shouted with a big change in his face, he thought that he had come early enough, after all, according to the normal wedding process, even if he got married today, I am afraid that he is still waiting to welcome his relatives, but he didn't expect Pei Ju to make a move at all.
"yes." Pei Ju said very casually, but then he found that there was something wrong with Eldest Sun Wuji's expression, and he asked with some curiosity at the moment, "What, is there any problem?" ”
"You're in trouble!" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't care about any demeanor at this time, and stared at Pei Ju viciously with his two eyes, it doesn't matter if Pei Ju gets into trouble, the key is that this matter has affected him, Li Shimin is not worried, what he is afraid of is that after Princess Pingyang knows about this matter, she will blame him for not doing well, don't look at Princess Pingyang doesn't seem to pay much attention to the government, but with her influence in the court, if she really dislikes someone, I'm afraid that this person will be difficult to gain a foothold in the court in the future.
"What does the eldest grandson Langzhong mean, what kind of disaster can an old man marry a daughter?" Pei Ju saw that the eldest grandson Wuji's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but say with a sinking face at the moment, he was not a small official under the eldest grandson Wuji, who could let him lose his temper casually, not to mention that he was still falling to the crown prince now, so he didn't have to be too polite to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Pei Ju dared to take a fight with him, and he couldn't help sneering at the moment, at this time, since the team to send off his relatives had already left, it would be too late for him to stop him, and there would definitely be a disadvantage in the future, but with Li Shimin to protect him, he would at most be blamed by Princess Pingyang, but Pei Ju was really unlucky.
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stopped worrying, and then saw him sneer and sit down again, and then said slowly: "Pei Gong, do you know that in our Tang Dynasty, there is a person who is absolutely unprovoked?" ”
Seeing the transformation of the eldest grandson Wuji, Pei Ju was surprised at the same time, but he suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he also sat down and said, "Oh? There are indeed many people in the court who are not easy to provoke, I don't know who the eldest grandson Langzhong is talking about? ”
"Hehe, Pei Gong has been coming to my Tang Dynasty for a long time, I guess you also have a spectrum in your heart, why don't you guess who this person who absolutely can't be provoked?" The eldest grandson Wuji spoke slowly again, his expression became more and more relaxed, he really wanted to see what kind of expression Pei Ju would have after knowing the hidden secret?
Pei Ju looked at the strange performance of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was also shocked at the moment, and after a long while, he said tentatively: "Is the person mentioned by the eldest grandson Langzhong His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" ”
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has great military achievements, but he is not a person who can never be provoked, Pei Gong, you can guess again!" Eldest Sun Wuji said softly with a smile on his face.
"Except for King Qin, then there is only the crown prince?" Pei Ju saw that the eldest grandson Wuji did not have any special expression, and he was much bolder at the moment.
"Not either!" The eldest grandson, Wuji, denied it again.
"Pei Xiang?" Pei Ju suddenly thought of a person, that is, Pei Lian, who was from the same sect as him, this person was the most trusted person by Li Yuan's side, and he would discuss everything with him, even the crown prince and the king of Qin.
"Not even more!" The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head with an unchanged expression.
"Who is that, it can't be His Majesty the Emperor, right?" Pei Ju was also a little dissatisfied at this time, he felt that the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be entertaining himself.
"Haha~, it seems that Pei Gong is also a little confused, so I will remind you a little more below, this person is a woman!" The eldest grandson Wuji reminded without any hurry.
"Princess Pingyang!" When Pei Ju heard this, he immediately guessed who the eldest grandson Wuji was talking about, after all, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there was only Princess Pingyang who held real power, and even after counting dynasties and generations, there was only one Princess Pingyang for thousands of years.
"Pei Gong finally guessed correctly this time, Princess Pingyang not only has great military achievements, but also His Majesty's favorite daughter, and is also the sister of the prince and the king of Qin's mother, the king of Qi is so arrogant and unstoppable, but when he sees the princess, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, let him go east, he dare not go west, you say that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who dares to provoke her?"
When the eldest grandson Wuji talked about Princess Pingyang, his face also showed a little fascination, he grew up with Li Shimin, and occasionally saw Princess Pingyang, but at that time, he never thought that Princess Pingyang, who was usually gentle, would grow into a commander who commanded thousands of troops.
"What are you talking about here, the eldest grandson, and the old man has nothing to offend the princess?" Pei Ju felt more and more bad when he heard this, and the whole person became a little alert.
"Haha~, Pei Gong, you underestimate yourself too much, Princess Pingyang, who no one dares to provoke in the Manchu Dynasty, but you provoked her, and I can only say admiration to you!" Eldest Sun Wuji saw that Pei Ju's face was starting to be a little wrong, and he laughed heartily at the moment.
"You...... What the hell do you mean, how could I provoke Princess Pingyang? Pei Ju finally panicked at this time, and his old face began to turn a little pale, in fact, he had already guessed something, but he couldn't believe it for a while.
"Hehe, why should Pei Gong pretend to be confused, Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao's marriage is in name only, Li Xiu lives near the princess, and usually has frequent contact with the princess, over time, the princess naturally doesn't want other women to appear next to Li Xiu, you ~ understand!"
When the eldest grandson Wuji said the last four words, his eyes suddenly became sharp, but Pei Ju was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and even the tea bowl in his hand was overturned, and at the same time, his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and his face was as white as paper and he collapsed on the chair and couldn't move.
Seeing Pei Ju's frightened look, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled heartily again, this old thing hurt himself to a bad reputation, but he himself was even worse, offended Princess Pingyang, even if the princess was generous and didn't do anything to him, but naturally someone would be angry for the princess, such as His Majesty the emperor who was worshiped by hundreds of officials in the court.
"How...... How so? After a long while, Pei Ju trembled his lips and muttered, with his shrewdness, he naturally knew the terrible consequences of offending Princess Pingyang, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the lightest will also make his career hopeless, don't think about doing anything big in the court in the future, this is more uncomfortable than death for him, who has always been greedy for power.
However, Pei Ju is an old man after all, he has experienced all kinds of winds and waves in his life, and his nerves are far more tenacious than ordinary people, and he soon woke up from his fear, and his mind began to analyze this extremely unfavorable situation for himself, but in the end he found that only one person could help him!
