The father and daughter of the Pei family are actually equally talented. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Pei Ju can easily become two generations of important ministers of the Great Sui, crisscrossing the Great Sui, not being suspicious, and even being trusted by two generations of kings, isn't it for nothing! The tiger father has no dog and daughter, Pei Ju is vertical and horizontal, arrogant and arrogant in the world, although there is no teaching by word and deed, but Pei Mingcui is born in the door valve after all, has extraordinary knowledge, and can control the overall situation at a young age, and experience the world.
The father and daughter of the Pei family are not only talented, but also obviously they are the same persistent people, Pei Ju can do whatever it takes to achieve the ideal in his heart, and Pei Mingcui can also have no regrets for the ideal in his heart.
But Pei Ju's persistence is more free and easy, and Pei Mingcui's persistence is more helpless!
The result of this difference is that after many years, Pei Ju is still as rich and uninhibited as ever, but Pei Mingcui is becoming more and more melancholy and haggard.
There are too many similarities between this father and daughter, but there are too many differences in appearance!
Pei Ju looked at the two paintings on the table, and when he heard his daughter's questioning, he said unexpectedly: "I always thought it was ...... It's been through so many twists and turns...... You've given up. Didn't think of ...... You're obsessed. ”
"This only shows that the father does not understand the daughter, and the daughter does not understand the father." Pei Mingcui wept again.
She was originally a strong woman, and what others saw was her uninhibitedness, and what others heard was her hearty laughter. But since she met Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi has soared into the sky, but her road has gradually been bumpy, and when her lover, dependence, and guards have all gone, the only thing left for her is to find her own answer. But the answer actually fell on her father, Rao was extremely strong, but she couldn't help but be confused...... She has worked hard to find this answer, is there any meaning?
Pei Ju finally raised his head and looked at his daughter, "Mingcui, you have changed ......"
"Daddy...... You haven't changed. ”
"I remember when you were a kid, you were lovely and carefree...... I also always want you to be carefree. Pei Ju finally stopped painting, walked to the window, and pushed the window to look over.
The winter in Jiangdu is of course not as cold as in the eastern capital, but the cold wind is also a little biting.
After Pei Ju pushed open the window, a cold wind blew in, Pei Ju realized something, and closed the window a little. His martial arts are world-renowned and his physique is excellent, so he naturally will not be afraid of this cold.
But an inadvertent action of him fell in Pei Mingcui's eyes, which made Pei Mingcui feel sad.
Obviously, Pei Ju is a daughter who is afraid of the cold in the house, and this father's care for her is really meticulous, but this father's blow to her is also incisive!
The father and daughter were silent for a long time, and Pei Ju finally said: "But if you inherit my wisdom, you will definitely not do nothing." You have followed a path that you have chosen completely yourself, and the Father does not approve of it, but the Father does not even say a word of superfluity. In my opinion, it is good for a person to live a lifetime, to live a season, and to go his own way. But I know you're probably going to ...... Regret...... Maybe you won't regret it, and if you do it all over again, you'll still choose ......"
Pei Ju said this, with a hint of helplessness in his expression, "I know, you are very tired...... Tired of persevering, being a father is very persistent...... But being a father is not tiring. Why? The reason is that you can't see it! The reason is that there is a problem with your persistence itself! You can't see feelings, kindness, or family. In fact, no matter whether Li Xuanba lives or dies, it is enough for you to have this relationship, obsession and entanglement just put yourself in misery, if he is a real man, he will only hope that you will be strong for him, and do not want you to entangle him for a lifetime after death, if he is not a real man, you pay so much in the eyes of others, it can only be described as unworthy. ”
Pei Mingcui listened stupidly, "Everyone understands the truth, but if you are not in the game, how can you know that it is difficult to give up." Dad, haven't you always been able to let go of the person in the painting? ”
When she talked about the person in the painting, she subconsciously looked at the two paintings on the table, the woman was a completely unfamiliar face, but she was familiar with it after seeing more.
But the moment she saw the person in the painting, the bridge of Pei Mingcui's nose was slightly sour, and she was speechless for a while.
She always thought that she was very smart, and she always felt that her father painted the woman he had never forgotten, but when she saw the portrait, she realized that she was wrong, both paintings depicted a person, one was an innocent and beautiful child, and the other was a melancholy and gloomy young girl.
But whether it is a child or a girl, it is all lifelike, happy and melancholy like in the bone marrow. The person in the painting turned out to be her Pei Mingcui!
Seeing those two paintings, Pei Mingcui had nothing to say.
Seeing these two paintings, Pei Mingcui already knew that no matter what, in her father's mind, she would not be worse than the woman he missed. Blood is thicker than water, she Pei Mingcui is the only daughter of this strange man after all, but with such a father, is she lucky or unlucky?
"Yang Guang does trust you very much, but that's just because of Chen Xuanhua, maybe he is really infatuated, but it's just an infatuation with the dead, what is lost is to know how to cherish, why is he not like this? If Chen Xuanhua really becomes seventy or eighty, do you think he will still be as obsessed with Chen Xuanhua as before? Yang Guang's feelings for Chen Xuanhua have more sustenance than love, what is the guilt of your efforts for him over the years? As for Chen Xuanhua, hehe...... She is a good woman, but she has dragged down my daughter's life, and in my eyes, she is nothing? ”
"Could it be that you have been making waves for so long and suffering the people in the world, and you don't have the slightest guilt?" Pei Mingcui said sadly.
Pei Ju turned around and suddenly laughed, "Without me, the world will suffer the same, with me, the world may be able to prove the Great Dao, if you are me, what should you do?" The essence of your insistence is not correct, so you will be tired, but in the past 400 years, Taiping Dao has been going forward and persevering, why? Just because we know that the great road of the world will be realized one day. Maybe I can't win, maybe I can't leave a name in history, maybe I'm just a stepping stone, but so what, I die without regrets! Taiping will be realized after all, I firmly believe in this! ”
Pei Mingcui was silent for a long time, "So everything I guessed is correct?" ”
"Some are right and some are wrong, but why be obsessed with right and wrong?" Pei Ju shook his head and said: "Mingcui, don't you still understand, the ending has been decided, and the process in the middle is not so important!" ”
"But is the ending really set?" Pei Mingcui said sharply: "At least Xiao Buyi is still in the Eastern Capital, at least Xiao Buyi has disrupted your plan." What I don't understand is why you supported Xiao Buyi in the first place, since the Book of Heaven has been decided, you want to overthrow him now, isn't it a disguised refutation of the prophecy of the Book of Heaven? ”
Pei Ju didn't answer, but turned around, "Mingcui, you are such a smart person, you can guess." ”
Pei Mingcui said thoughtfully: "If I guess, there is no Xiao Buyi in the Book of Heaven at all, and all predictions are just man-made!" ”
Pei Ju's clothes fluttered, but she didn't turn around, but Pei Mingcui stared at her father, in fact, everything was inferred by her repeated verification and hard meditation. If Pei Ju denies it, she is helpless, but Pei Ju just keeps silent many times.
"The so-called heavenly books, prophecies, and strange words are actually all played by the Taiping Dao itself to confuse the eye. What Taiping Dao needs is chaos and grabs the greatest benefits from chaos. But Taiping Dao has been created for hundreds of years, there must be mixed good and bad, different opinions, maybe it is not your idea to praise the rise of Xiao Buyi, your plan was originally to subvert the Great Sui Jiangshan, let the Holy Shang go south, create a crisis, and then seize the troops of Jiangdu and return to the Eastern Capital! You have great talent and strategy in your heart, and you plan to follow the example of the ancients and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world. Pei Mingcui sighed lightly, "So Xiao Buyi's appearance completely disrupted your plan, and you must get rid of him." But what you hate the most should be me, because if I hadn't brought Xiao Buyi to the Eastern Capital, he wouldn't have taken control of the Eastern Capital so quickly, the father kept hitting his daughter, but the daughter ruined her father's plan, it's funny to think about it. ”
Although she said that she was funny, there was no smile on her face, and some were just miserable.
Pei Ju turned around and looked at Pei Mingcui with a straight face, "Mingcui, I don't mean to blame you for my father, if you want to blame, you can only blame heaven for making people." But now, no matter what, the soldiers of Jiangdu have arrived in my hands, and I am not sure what the rest will be. ”
"I'm afraid it hasn't reached you yet, right?" Pei Mingcui said in a deep voice.
Pei Ju smiled, "Although it's not here, it's not far away." ”
"So the queen and Xiao Dapeng were both under house arrest by you and used to blackmail Xiao Buyi?" Pei Mingcui asked suddenly.
Pei Ju said indifferently: "You shouldn't ask this question." ”
"Why?" Pei Mingcui was a little puzzled.
Pei Ju looked out the window, "Although you haven't been with Xiao Buyi for a long time, you should know Xiao Buyi the most." He is definitely not the Xiao Buyi he was four years ago, he could have been blackmailed four years ago, but now he ...... It's late. ”
Pei Mingcui was silent, but Pei Ju closed the window and said indifferently: "Okay, the story is over, and I have to do things for my father." It is not difficult to protect the old age, the courage of Chen Ling, and Yang Yong's incompetence, to let them give way. ”
"What if they don't retreat?" Pei Mingcui gritted her teeth and asked.
Pei Ju's smile was full of ridicule, "Then do they have any other way to go than death?" After he finished speaking, he had already floated out, but Pei Mingcui sat down slowly, feeling that the blood in his whole body was about to flow out, empty and weak.
She came here today, originally with a sense of resentment, she wanted to make everything clear, but she never thought that it would be the end now!
The answer she was searching for was finally conclusive, but at that moment, she was not relieved, she was just empty and lonely. What is the meaning of this kind of answer?
**
In the eastern capital, the snow has stopped, and when the head rises, it sprinkles golden brilliance, which is slightly dazzling on the snow.
Xiao Buyi admired the weather, and the snow stopped, which meant that he was finally about to start a general attack.
This kind of general attack not only refers to Wagang, but also to launch all attacks on the inside and outside of the current eastern capital!
The water of the Yellow River, Luoshui, and Shizi River has been frozen and condensed, and the cold weather is not a good thing for sending troops, because more needs to be done to ensure supply, but Xiao Buyi doesn't mind, now that the eastern capital is in full swing, he should try to defeat Wagang in one go, if he waits until the ice and snow melt, there will be more variables on the side of Jiangdu.
He wants to control the overall situation before Jiangdu is about to change, and now is of course the best time.
The heavy snow closed the road, and the weather was cold, which was not good for him to send troops, but it was not the case for others, this heavy snow, so that more secret forces were unexpectedly frustrated, thinking of Xiao Buyi here, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the heavy snow has brought inconvenience, but the heavy snow can also resolve some crises, this kind of thing is difficult to understand.
"Now that the Eastern Capital has been decided, and the tile is not yet peaceful, I don't know what good plans you have?" Xiao Buyi sat upright and smiled.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and Zhang Zhenzhou, Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu and others were all present. In any case, Wagang is still an external problem and needs to be solved urgently.
After Zhang Zhenzhou conquered Luokou, he sent Shu Zhanwei to lead the elite soldiers to guard, Wagang has always been silent, and there are few signs of sending troops in the cold weather. Xiao Buyi has sent troops to reinforce the Yanshi, and then temporarily let Luokou and the Yanshi use the beacon fire as the signal to echo each other from afar, and these words are all right.
Hearing Xiao Buyi's opinion, Duan Da hesitated slightly before saying: "King Qiqi Xiliang, according to what I see, now that there have been several battles, the people are tired, if you conquer Wagang, it is best to wait for the beginning of spring." ”
Wei Jin also agreed: "What Master Duan said is very reasonable, if it is cold today, it is really not suitable to send troops. ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, "What the two adults said is very reasonable. ”
Zhang Zhenzhou stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Xiliang King, the old minister thinks that Duan and Wei are wrong. ”
"What do you think about that adult?" Xiao Buyi asked with interest.
"Although it is now several battles, the morale of the soldiers is in full swing, and they should take Wagang in one go. If you wait for the spring flowers to bloom, it is really unpredictable. In addition, I heard that now on the side of Xijing, Li Yuanzheng and Xue Renguo are fighting fiercely to help the wind, and that side is also cold, will the two armies stop because of the cold weather? ”
Duan Da hesitated: "This ...... That ......"
"What does Master Zhang mean?" Wei Jin couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Zhen Zhou Zhengse said: "General Wagang has no time to go on an expedition, and now he has lost the county and county, and the army's spirit has been dispersed. If Luokoucang is conquered, the Wagang army will have no more food to spare, and hundreds of thousands of troops will collapse in an instant. When the time comes, we will reorganize our troops, and we can take advantage of the situation to pacify Henan! If we wait until the spring flowers bloom, Wagang is not restrained, but others are involved, I am afraid that we will be at both ends of the first rat, and it will be difficult to succeed. ”
"Which one is this someone else talking about?" Yuan Wendu finally asked. He rarely participates in political affairs, but this time he opened his mouth is a rare thing.
Zhang Zhen Zhou Zhengse said: "I want Li Yuan to be sinister and raise the name of supporting the Sui family, but he attacked Xijing. If this person defeats Xue Renguo, the next goal should be to get out of Tongguan and take the eastern capital in the east. Dou Jiande dominates Hebei, and he is also eyeing Henan, if he joins these two forces, I am afraid that the east may not be as stable as Mount Tai. ”
Yuan Wen was disgraced and said, "How can that be good?" ”
Zhang Zhenzhou said in a deep voice: "At present, we should seek to defeat the Wagang bandits, return the peace of Henan, and return the bandits to the peasants. ”
Xiao Buyi slapped his forehead and sighed: "If Lord Zhang doesn't wake up this king, this king will still be in the dark." Kewagang Luokoucang is dozens of miles away, and the soldiers are full, how can we attack it? ”
The two sang and harmonized, discussing the plan to attack Luokoucang, but the ministers couldn't interject, so they could only listen. Yuan Wendu secretly sneered, but did not say much.
Zhang Zhenzhou suggested: "The civil strife in Wagang was calm, Zhai Rang was expelled, and now everyone in Wagang will defend themselves." Although Luokoucang is strong, it is located in a corner, and although there are hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible to exert it. The king of Western Liang had defeated the Wagang people several times and had a great influence among the Wagang people. If you can lead the army to recruit in person, you can let Wagang flee from the wind. ”
Xiao Buyi laughed, "If I really have that much power, what else do I do with the troops, it's better to go directly to Luokoucang and take two turns." ”
When the ministers heard Xiao Buyi joking, they were willing to contribute a few laughs, and Zhang Zhenzhou also showed a smile, "King Xiliang said that he was laughing, I am just a metaphor." Nowadays, the water of Luoshui and Shizi River has long been frozen, and crossing the river is not a problem. If the king of Xiliang personally sent troops to attack Luokou Cangnan, and Shu Zhanwei led his troops to attack Luokou Cangxi, the old minister personally led troops and horses to garrison Baihua Valley and attack the east of Luokoucang, Wagang would definitely panic. We will first use the strategy of exhausting the troops, or lead the Wagang army to battle, if we can win a few battles, the Wagang army will definitely retreat to Luokoucang. When the time comes, we will order the three large armies to take turns to attack Luokoucang, but leave the way to the north, the Wagang army saw our eagerness to attack, and the army was disheartened, most of them did not wait for the beginning of spring, they must retreat, and when the time came, the army was defeated like a mountain, what is the difficulty of taking Luokoucang? ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, "Master Zhang has a clever plan, but this method is dangerous. ”
Zhang Zhenzhou was slightly stunned, "I don't know why the King of Xiliang said this?" ”
Xiao Buyi asked, "If Li Mi leads his troops to raid the Eastern Capital, what will we do with it?" ”
Zhang Zhenzhou smiled and said: "King Xiliang, I think Lord Lu has always been guarding the eastern capital, plus all the adults are here, why is it difficult to defend the city?" ”
Xiao Buyi said with relief: "Since this is the case, I will choose to go on the expedition." asked Lord Lu to guard the inner city, with Lord Yuan, Lord Wei, and Lord Duan as deputies to assist. And Lieutenant General Dong and Lieutenant General Dugu assisted in guarding the inner city. As for the outer city, Wei Yushi and a group of Lang generals are fully responsible, and Bian Lang generals, Sun Lang and others assist, I don't know what the adults think? ”
Sun Shaofang has long been promoted to Lang General, but Bian Lang General is the pseudonym of the bat, but the bat is not good after all, Xiao Buyi temporarily gave him the surname Bian, and the bat did not object. Xiao Buyi spared no effort in the promotion of his subordinates, and Ma Zhou also performed well, and he has been promoted to Shilang, although he is still a slight official position, it is a world of difference compared to before.
Xiao Buyi is now meritocracy, and because of the military power in hand, except for some old ministers who still have slight remarks, the rest of the people see hope, but everyone works hard.
The ministers listened to Xiao Buyi's orders, and they all gave a salute and said: "Obey the orders of King Xiliang." Yuan Wendu and Wei Jin glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Xiao Buyi's eyes flashed, with a faint smile.
But everyone didn't wait to retreat, the bell chime outside the hall rang again, and the ministers were awe-inspiring, only to see the Tongshi Sheren rushing from a distance, followed by a person, holding up the music in his hand, "Qiyu Xiliang King, Jiangdu Secretary Lang Yu Shinan has an urgent document to report!" ”
The ministers were stunned, they didn't know that Yu Shinan had always been by the side of the saint, how could he come here suddenly? Yu Shinan was full of grief and grief, but he didn't know who to mourn for? This kind of costume is very disrespectful to come to the court, and some people still want to scold, but Xiao Buyi stood up and said: "Shinan, what's the matter?" ”
Everyone wanted to scold them in a hurry, and said in their hearts that Xiao Buyi and Yu Shinan were both working in the secretary province back then, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Yu Shinan knelt down and said sadly: "Qi Xi Liang Wang, Yu Culture and conspiracy rebellion, the saint was assassinated and died, and now Jiangdu has fallen into the hands of thieves!" ”
When Yang Tong, the king of Yue, heard what Yu Shinan said, Huo Ran stood up, his face turned pale, and he fainted.
A palace maid had already helped Yang Tong up, but in just a moment's effort, Yang Tong had already cried loudly: "Holy ......" He cried earth-shatteringly, and he couldn't cry. The ministers are also sensational, there is no rule, some are grief-stricken, some are relieved, some are expected, and some are secretly happy...... It turned out that although Yang Guang had been dead for a long time, first, the heavy snow closed the road, and secondly, the bandits caused the information to be cut off, and it was only at this time that the news was brought by Yu Shinan. Of course, there are already people who know, such as Xiao Buyi, such as Yuan Wendu, but those who know know that the time has not yet come to make an announcement.
For Yang Guang, many courtiers have actually become numb, Yang Guang abandoned the Eastern Capital, and they also gave up Yang Guang.
Xiao Buyi fell back into his seat and muttered, "Shinan, what you said is true? This...... How is this possible? ”
Yu Shinan cried bitterly: "King Xiliang, what Weichen said is true, and I also ask the King of Xiliang to say one day, crusade against rebellion, and be the master of the saint." ”
As soon as Xiao Buyi's hand was forced, there was a 'click' sound, and the seat was actually taken off by him, and the wood in his hand was thrown down, Xiao Buyi stood up and said angrily: "Yu Wenhua and the great rebellion, the rebellious things, and the people who follow are all chaotic parties!" This king vows to eradicate the rebellious party and restore peace to the world, if this oath is violated, heaven and man will abandon it! ”
His voice was like a bell, spread all over the hall and outside, the ministers were scratching, hearing Xiao Buyi's angry swear, all awe-inspiring, King Yue sobered up, but he had already knelt down and said: "Please also ask the king of Xiliang to eradicate the rebellion and restore peace in the world." ”
The ministers knelt down and said: "Please also ask the king of Xiliang to eradicate the rebellion and restore peace to the world!" ”
The sound was sensational, shaking the hall, and the snow was falling one after another, as if to mourn the last trace of mourning for the dead Yang Guang!
**
The news of Yang Guang's death spread quickly in the Eastern Capital, but it was not as sensational as imagined, except for some old courtiers, the mother and son of the king of Yue, many people have actually forgotten Yang Guang.
He has been away for a long time, he has done too many things that have nothing to do with the people, after the people heard Yang Guang's death, many people were not panicked, but relieved, this good-looking, reckless emperor finally died...... This emperor, who doesn't care whether the people live or die, just wants to be the first emperor of the ages, is finally dead...... He died well, he died in time, and his great cause seems to have nothing to do with the people! The current Eastern Capital has nothing to do with Yang Guang! With the king of Xiliang here, Yang Guang will not die, so what's the matter?
The king of Xiliang ordered that the eastern capital should pay tribute to the three days, and the sword soldiers should not be moved, and after the three days, the troops should be sent to attack Wagang and the world will be peaceful!
When the news came out, the Eastern Capital shook, and the sorrow was just like floating clouds, which passed in an instant, and the excitement was like snowflakes in the sky, sprinkled in every corner of the Eastern Capital.
The news that Xiao Buyi was going to send troops was not a secret, and it quickly spread to Luokoucang, and when the Wagang thieves heard about it, they looked at each other with a chill. Xiao Buyi's reluctance to move troops against Wagang is certainly due to the fact that there are many generals in Luokoucang, but there is a deeper intention, that is, Xiao Buyi definitely does not want to take Yang Guang back. Now that Yang Guang is dead, the last obstacle is removed, and Xiao Buyi will send troops again, and he will definitely root Wagang to rise!
Although there are still hundreds of thousands of Wagang people in Luokoucang, except for Li Mi, everyone has a thought, Luokoucang, how much more can they hold, what is the use of holding Luokoucang?
When Li Mi heard the news that Xiao Buyi would leave the army after three days, he had been groaning, and when his eyes swept over his subordinates, Li Mi said in a deep voice: "Xiao Buyi sent troops, I don't know what countermeasures you have?" ”
The Wagang people were silent, and after a while, Wang Junkuo said: "Duke Wei, if you want the troops to block, Xiao Buyi will send troops, and we are not afraid." ”
Li Mi suddenly laughed, "Jun Kuo said well, the soldiers are coming, you must feel that there must be a hard battle now." But I can tell you one thing......" Li Mi's eyes were full of fanaticism, and he said word by word: "This time, Xiao Buyi led the soldiers to recruit in person, and he will no longer be able to return to the Eastern Capital alive!" ”
