After dinner, as long as it is not raining or snowing, he will inevitably go out for a walk for half an hour. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info one is to slow down and eat, and the other is to review the work of the day, talk about whether there are gains and losses, or make a detailed analysis of unfinished government affairs in your mind, etc. Take a walk after dinner, this is a fixed habit he has developed since he was young, and later in the difficult state affairs, wandering and exile, he was forced to give up, and now he is already the Zhongshu Order of the Qin Imperial Court, with the title of deputy minister, it can be said that he is a great member, and he naturally regained the rules of the year.

During the day today, the emperor asked him if there were suitable candidates to recommend for Shengzhou, Liangzhou, Qinzhou, Yongzhou and other assassination departments. Except for Li Feng, who has no problem with the history of Liangzhou's assassination, the emperor did not say anything about the recommended candidates for the rest of the state lords. But he didn't have anything to worry about this, whether he had selfish intentions, and he didn't mean to form a party, he just relied on his own judgment and understanding, and he wasn't afraid that the emperor would have any doubts.

But curiosity is still somewhat curious. In Qinzhou, he recommended Yang Jiantou, in Yongzhou, he recommended He Cheng, and as for Shengzhou, which is currently more important in the north, he recommended the general Li Hu. In addition to the background of the first in all the civil and military affairs of the Qin State, in all fairness, Li Hu's ability is still very strong, and he is extremely loyal to the emperor, so it is also very suitable for him to be the assassin of any state.

However, looking at the emperor's face earlier, he did not object, nor did he express his agreement. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and although it is impossible to figure out what the master is thinking, since it is not allowed, it is just that, and it is not a major matter that must be insisted on in principle.

Now, after he had eaten dinner, he gave a few words to the house as usual, and then went out of the gate. Looking at the sky, there is still some light in the early autumn evening, not as early as the dark in winter. Pei Xuan put up his hands and took a leisurely step.

"Pei Xiang, Pei Xiang!"

A few hurried calls came from behind him. Pei Xu followed the sound and looked back, but found that it was a eunuch in the palace, who was trotting towards him.

"Zhongguan Tang is so urgent, but what is the point of Your Majesty?"

Pei Xu knew that this person was also an old acquaintance of the current emperor, and he had been familiar with it for a long time. A year ago, this Tang Ti came to defect again, Gao Yue was very happy, and found out that Tang Lei had been taken captive to Luoyang to serve Liu Zhao after the death of the former Jin Dynasty, and after Liu Zhao's death, he had been trapped among the people for several years, and there was nothing suspicious, Gao Yue remembered the old feelings, and promoted him to be the leader of the eunuchs in the palace, so that he could enjoy wealth in the second half of his life.

Because of his relationship with the emperor, Tang Ti came out to pass on the decree, which was basically a relatively important matter, and he belonged to the old qualification of waiting for him to go out without work. Seeing him now, Pei Xuan immediately stopped, turned around and waited for him.

“…… Pei Xiang, ouch, I know that Pei Xiang has the habit of walking after dinner, so our family hurried and hurried, so we caught up. You are right, Your Majesty sent us to our house, it is Xuanxiangguo, you, who will enter the palace immediately to meet you. ”

Pei Shu was taken aback: "Now? Does the lieutenant know what is going on? ”

"We really don't know. His Majesty only said, let Pei Xiang you meet immediately, and the rest, do we dare to ask more? ”

Pei Xuan nodded, knowing that he really couldn't ask anything, so he followed Tang Ti, from a leisurely stroll, to a two-legged stride, without saying anything all the way, and soon came to the palace, Gao Yue summoned him in the imperial study.

"Minister Pei Xu, long live my emperor!"

Pei Xufang entered the room, and saw that in addition to the emperor sitting behind the desk, there was also a person who had never met before, who looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, and he should have been given a seat, and he was sitting on the lower seat, as if he was talking about something. Pei Shu didn't have time to take care of it, and after paying homage according to the ceremony, the emperor gave him a flat body.

"I don't know what kind of oracle Your Majesty summoned the ministers?"

Pei Xu's respectful inquiry. But I heard Gao Yue smile and said, "Pei Qing is here!" I invite you to come, I do have some important matters, I want to discuss with the Qing family face to face, and I want to listen to your opinions. But before I say that, I ask you to get to know this old man who has never met before. ”

Since we have never met, why talk about the past? Such obviously contradictory words made Pei Xu, a little confused, but how dare he question it face to face, so he looked at the stranger while waiting for the emperor to make it clear again.

Gao Yue said aloud to the man, "I will introduce you two to each other. This is my central secretary, Pei Xu, Pei Xiangguo. Pei Qing, the one in front of you is Sima Cheng, the former king of Qianjun and the current Yongzhou assassin of our dynasty. He did not shy away from saying publicly: "Although you two don't know each other, they have a deep relationship, and you can get acquainted face to face." ”

Pei Xuan was shocked. More than half a month ago, he heard that Xie Ai had rescued Sima Cheng from Jingzhou, and he didn't ask much follow-up. Unexpectedly, they met suddenly today, but at first glance, they heard that this person was actually a prisoner, and was allowed by the emperor to be the assassin of Yongzhou in person, which is really jaw-dropping.

It turned out that Xie Ai tried to persuade Sima Cheng to return to Shun to no avail, and he really didn't want to kill him, so he had no choice but to send him to Luoyang. Gao Yue heard that Sima Cheng was kind and virtuous, and stood out among most of the Jin kings, and saw Xie Aixin very much praise for him, so he also cherished it, and on the day Sima Cheng was sent to Luoyang, Gao Yue was already on a lunch break, and when he heard the news, he immediately got up in his clothes and summoned him in person, and comforted him with warm words.

As the emperor, there was no need for Ben to have such an attitude towards the captured former dynasty Yijie Xiaowang. However, in addition to Gao Yue's praise for Sima Cheng himself, he also considered that if Sima Cheng was willing to submit, it would be the first clan vassal king in the Jin Dynasty's ruling group system to openly surrender when Sima had not completely lost power, which played a very good role in promoting the more rapid gathering of the hearts of the world, especially the hearts of the southerners, and invisibly further expanding the prestige of the Qin State.

In both public and private, Gao Yue hoped that Sima Cheng would be able to return to obedience, so he was treated particularly favorably. And seeing that the supreme ruler of the Qin State was so amiable in person, Sima Cheng was also very moved. It was when he was hesitant that after Gao Yue showed him a letter, Sima Cheng burst into tears, then sighed a few times, then turned over and bowed down, shouted long live to Gao Yue, and promised to surrender.

It turned out that when Sima Cheng went north, in Jiankang City, earth-shaking upheaval finally occurred. Su Jun, the king of Wu, deposed the young Jin Emperor Sima Yan, and forced the prime minister Wang Dao to lead a hundred officials to jointly persuade the table, after the false three resignations and three concessions, Su Jun officially proclaimed the emperor, founded the country called Wu, and changed the Yuan Wuxing. After Su Jun became the emperor, he demoted the deposed emperor Sima Yan to the king of Huiji, and the king of the Sima clan was reduced to the prince of the county, but on the tenth day, Su Jun was impatient to poison Sima Yan, and announced that he died of sudden illness, completely cutting off the Jin emperor's descendants.

Sima Cheng saw Su Jun's letter to Gao Yue with his own eyes, thinking that his family and country had been lost, his heart was painful, he was desperate, and he felt that his belief had been supported, so it collapsed, so he finally stopped worrying about his stomach and surrendered to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue was overjoyed, and after commending him in person, he asked him to rest temporarily and wait for the arrangement. After Sima Cheng went out, Gao Yue thought silently for a moment, and then urgently summoned Yang and Han Erxiang to come, saying that Sima Cheng could be appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou.

Han Yong had some doubts, and said that Sima Cheng was a vassal king of the Jin Dynasty after all, and he was quite popular and popular with the people. Now that he is attached, he will let him be the lord of a state, is it a little too hasty, and he is afraid that if Sima Cheng rises again in the future, will Yongzhou rebel.

However, Yang Ke shook his head and said that although he was indeed in a hurry, he was not afraid of Sima Cheng's rebellion in the coming days. It is true that he has won the hearts of the people, but in fact, he has basically won the hearts of the people in the south, and now in the north, especially in the Guanzhong region, the hearts of the people are all towards Daqin, and he has long stopped reading the old virtues of the Western Jin Dynasty. Impossible to do. Besides, Sima Cheng openly surrendered to Great Qin as a Jinzong, if he betrays again in the future, how will the world see his capriciousness, and how will he deal with himself at that time?

Yang Tao said with a smile, the most important thing is that Yongzhou has Xia Prefecture in the north, Qinzhou in the west, Luoyang in the east, and Liangzhou under Li Feng's rule in the south. Even if they rebel, within thirty years, most of them will be besieged from all sides and quickly defeated. And the assassin is only in charge of government affairs, and the military and political affairs are all owned by all the state ministers, and the rights are relatively single, and the military affairs can appoint Li Hu as the protector of Yongzhou to divide the situation, so that the two-pronged approach is still worried about what storm he can set off?

When Han Yong heard this, he thought it was true, so Gao Yue summoned Sima Cheng in person after a few days, and told him that he would be appointed as the assassin of Yongzhou. And after Sima Cheng returned to obedience, he didn't know what kind of placement he had, and most of them would be shelved in the cabinet, enshrined with false gifts, and spend the rest of his life in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he was able to get a real job as a shepherd, which shows that at least the emperor treated him sincerely, and was willing to treat him as his own now.

Sima Cheng is here, and so far everyone has happily smoothed out the relationship. Gao Yue followed what he thought in his heart, and because of another important matter, he summoned Pei Xu. The two looked at each other face to face, and sure enough, they never knew each other. Although Sima Cheng was a partial branch of the clan, he belonged to an inconspicuous person among the many nobles of the year, and during the Yongjia period, he was just the rank of guerrilla general, and Pei Xu was just a small secretary back then. Later, Pei Xu went west, Sima Cheng ran south, and the two did not know each other from beginning to end. However, although they are unfamiliar with each other, after all, Pei Xu, who was formerly a Jin minister, and Sima Chengnai is a member of the Jin Dynasty, so the two do have a relationship. Now the two of them have abandoned their identities and are ministers in the same hall in the new dynasty, which is also emotional.

"Pei Xiangguo is famous, and when he is contemptuous in the south, he often hears of it. Now I have the honor to visit in person, which is polite. ”

Sima Cheng was polite and calm. Pei Xue hurriedly cleaned up all kinds of chaotic thoughts, and hurriedly replied: "Sima Gong Xiang is fair and simple, Pei is really a long-time admirer of the virtuous name, and he will be a minister in the same hall in the future, and I hope to give more advice." ”
