In July of the tenth year of Yuanhe, more than 20 days after being assassinated, Cheng Pei Du returned from injury in the imperial history and paid homage to the prime minister.

Pei Du, the word is neutral, and Shanxi is pleasing to the people. Like most prime ministers in the Yuanhe era, Pei Du also had a prominent background, a more prominent one than others. In fact, the Wenxi Pei family can be said to be a unique family in Chinese history, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, which advocated Qing Tan and advocated the evaluation of people and goods, the two major families of Wang Xie were very prosperous, and only the eight first-class figures of the Wenxi Pei family can be compared with them. The stars are changing, when "in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people", Wenxi Pei's family was still at the peak of talents, and there was no shortage of people. In the long history of 2,000 years, the Wenxi Pei family has successively produced 59 prime ministers, 59 generals, 14 Zhongshu Shilang, 55 Shangshu, 44 Shilang, and countless middle and lower-level bureaucrats such as Yushi, Thorn Shi, and Taishou; At the same time, Wenxi Pei's family has also walked out of 3 queens, 4 princesses, 2 princesses, and 21 concubines,...... That's really a prince, and the crown is endless. Because of the Pei family, Wenxi has the reputation of "China's Prime Minister's Village".

Of course, in the talented Pei family, Pei Du should be the most well-known one. No, no, there is a person who is more famous than Pei Du, that is really a household name, women and children know it, but it is not a good name, but a bad name. Okay, don't sell Guanzi, this person is the son of Pei Xiu, the famous minister of the early Tang Dynasty, Pei Wende, and later became a monk, the legal name "Fahai", yes, it is the Fahai of Jinshan Temple, because of a "Legend of the White Snake", Fahai is notorious, mentioning this person, almost everyone will spit "bah" to express their disgust with Fahai.

However, Fahai was actually wronged, more wronged than Dou E. Because Fahai in history is really a high-ranking monk, he has never done the lack of virtue of beating mandarin ducks, the reason why he has a relationship with the white snake is only because he did a good deed, a great good deed: drove a white python that endangered the local people into the Yangtze River. But in the Ming and Qing dynasties, I don't know which one lacked German literati, beautified the white python that had bitten countless people and animals to death into the righteous demon Bai Suzhen, and the Taoist monk who eliminated harm for the people, Fahai, was scandalized into a nasty ghost who was psychologically dark and liked to break up people's loving couples.

After gossiping, let's get down to business. In addition to Fahai, the most prestigious person in the Pei family is none other than Pei Du. But no matter how powerful the Pei family is, and no matter how majestic Pei Du is in the future, he can't let Pei Du have a happy childhood. In fact, Pei Du's childhood was quite unfortunate, his parents died, his family was poor, and he looked like a strange flower, which was annoying to everyone. Of course, being ugly may not be a bad thing, the saint is out of shape! Zhu Yuanzhang's five mountains are inverted, and he is extremely ugly, and he is not the same as being an emperor. But Pei Du's disappearance is obviously not because he is a saint, but because he is a man who is about to die.

It is said that one day, the ugly eight monster Pei Du was wandering on the street, and while strolling, he met a monk, a face-to-face monk, a Zen master of Xingxing. Although Pei Du is a little ugly, he is still very eager to live a slightly better life, at least not to starve to death. So he went to meet the monk, but the result made him very disappointed, because Master Nhat Hanh was obviously a professional face-seeker, and refused to say some beautiful words in order to earn the customer's money, but told Xiao Pei Du bluntly: You look too different, you will definitely starve to death in the future! Of course, Pei Du was very depressed and lost, and in addition to being depressed, he also figured out one thing: no wonder although he was diligent in his studies, although he was full of economy, and although he was eloquent, he couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, and he couldn't pass the exam twice in a row, it turned out that everything was destined!

Although I was very depressed, although I was very lost, I still had to live my life, and the incense should be burned, so Pei Du went to the most famous local Xiangji Temple to burn incense. After burning the incense, Pei Du picked up a good thing, a jade belt, a priceless jade belt. If this jade belt is replaced with real money, Pei Du will live a long period of worry-free life without food and clothing, and maybe his fate will change. But Pei Du, who is ugly, is a kind-hearted person and a person who picks up money, so Pei Du began to wait for a long time, waiting for the owner to come and claim it, and waited until it got dark, Pei Du had no choice but to take the jade belt home temporarily. Early the next morning, Pei Du ran to Xiangji Temple early to continue waiting, and finally waited for the owner.

The owner of the jade belt is a young and beautiful beauty, and she tells Pei Du that this is a life-saving jade belt: her father is a good official who is honest and honest, but he offended the powerful and was unjustly imprisoned. The mother and daughter were destitute and at a loss, when someone saw that the road was uneven and gave them a jade belt to bribe those in power in order to save their father's life. Unexpectedly, yesterday I went to Xiangji Temple to burn incense for my father, but accidentally lost it. If this jade belt can't be recovered, my father will inevitably die, and I and my mother will follow my father. So, you are truly a lifesaver for our family of three!

Pei Du, who saved three lives, was in a good mood, but Pei Du, who was in a good mood, never thought that his fate would be completely changed because of this. On the way home, Pei Du met the monk again, the monk who met him, this time, the monk took the initiative to stop him, and said to him in surprise: You must have done a great good deed, accumulated a lot of yin gong, born from the heart, now, your appearance has changed a lot, not only will you not starve to death, but you will also have great blessings, and you will enter the phase in the future, which is unspeakably expensive! This year, this year, you must go to the exam, and you will definitely pass it! Go, go!

Although he was skeptical, Pei Du was still very happy and happily prepared to enter Beijing and participate in the imperial examination. In this way, Pei Du rode his lame donkey, took his old servant Wang Yi, and came to Chang'an in a hurry. When he walked across the Baqiao, the conversation between the two old men floated in his ears: "Huaixi has been in charge for many years, and the imperial court has repeatedly sent troops to recruit and suppress, but they have repeatedly returned in vain. "Yes, I don't know when the imperial court will be able to pacify Caizhou." Pei Du rode over with a donkey, and at a glance of his eyes, he found that it was two old men with white beards who were talking, and these two old men seemed to be taken aback when they saw Pei Du, so they stopped talking. Pei Du didn't have time to think about it, and had already hurriedly walked across the bridge. Wang Yi walked behind Pei Du and heard another sentence sent by the breeze: "It turns out that God wants this person to pacify Huaixi, we will have a good life!" Wang Yi told Pei Du the old man's words one by one, and Pei Du smiled slightly and said nothing.

Sure enough, this time, Pei Du finally crossed the hurdle of the imperial examination and got the first official position in his life, Heyin County Lieutenant, a petty official from the ninth grade. In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he had already sat on the high position of the imperial history, becoming an important minister in the court, and together with the prime minister Wu Yuanheng, he became the right and left hand of Li Chun, the son of heaven; Of course, together with Wu Yuanheng, he also became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the arrogant feudal town; In the end, together with Wu Yuanheng, he was assassinated, but the final result was very different. Perhaps, the heavens will also be jealous, jealous of Wu Yuanheng's too perfect, impeccable family background, appearance, character, talent, and quality, and finally his beautiful head was cut off by the assassins; And the ugly Pei Du escaped the assassin's poisonous hands, and was blessed by misfortune, becoming another iron-blooded prime minister after Wu Yuanheng. Huaixi, the invincible Huaixi, will bow their unruly heads in front of this ugly prime minister.
