Lu Yu walked into the room and saw Pei Ju sitting on the couch weakly on crutches, looking very depressed, not even a trace of forced smile. \/\/\/\/

Thinking of how old and cunning Pei Ju was in the past, he didn't show his voice about big things, and now he ...... Lu Yu sighed in his heart, Pei Ju was really old.

"Uncle Pei, please accept the gift of my little nephew!"

Lu Yu took a step forward and gave a deep salute, Pei Ju seemed to wake up from a dream, and said with a wry smile on his face: "I'm not feeling well, I can't stand up, Lu Xiangguo don't blame me for being rude." ”

"Where! Where! Uncle Pei is an elder, and I should respect Uncle Pei. ”

Pei Ju nodded and said to Pei Jin: "Don't hurry up and ask Xiangguo to sit down!" ”

Pei Jin hurriedly moved over to sit on the couch, spread the cushion again, and said respectfully: "Second Uncle Lu, please take a seat!" ”

Lu Yu arched his hand and sat down, he smiled at Pei Ju and said: "I also know about Qingsong, but I can't blame Qingsong for this matter, it was not he who took the initiative, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu encouraged him to go to the county to hone his training." ”

"I knew he was stupid!" Pei Ju gritted his teeth and said.

In fact, Pei Ju had already figured out the causal relationship, which must have been because the Jade Seal incident annoyed Yang Yuanqing, and he sued the Pei family for a jǐng slap, if it was just a jǐng lawsuit, he was afraid that Yang Yuanqing would decide to deal with the Pei family and suppress the Pei family's status in the new dynasty.

It was only at this time that he remembered the dispute between him and Pei Yun back then, and now it seems that Pei Yun is right, the Pei family is the Pei family, and Yang Yuanqing of Yang Yuanqing.

As an emperor, he would not allow any family to threaten his status, and he still wanted to control the prince, could Yang Yuanqing allow it?

Pei Ju fell into deep remorse, the root cause was not the incident of burying the jade seal, the incident of burying the jade seal was just an introduction, the root cause was that he was wrong in the dispute with Pei Yun on the route back then.

He Pei Ju bet on Yang Yuanqing, but turned Yang Yuanqing into his dividend, and the problem is here.

I just want to change it now. It was already a little late, and Pei Ju felt that he had become an eternal sinner of the Pei family at this moment.

Lu Yu saw Pei Ju's thoughts, in fact, he came to Pei Ju with deep worries, he felt that Yang Yuanqing was deliberately suppressing the Shandong Shi clan. Although the last suppression of the peripheral interests of the Lu family and the Cui family has passed.

But an incident that happened today made him very uneasy, Yang Yuanqing actually did not allow him and Cui Hongyuan to teach the prince, obviously because he was afraid that they would instill the idea of a family in him.

This shows Yang Yuanqing's attitude towards the family from one side, which made Lu Yu very worried, and he specially rushed to consult Pei Ju, but Pei Ju was hit deeper.

However, Lu Yu knew that there was still hope for the Pei family. It's just that the hope of the Pei family is in the future, so he said tactfully: "An interesting thing happened in Ziwei Pavilion today, I don't know if Uncle Pei knows about it?" ”

Pei Ju sobered up from self-pity and self-pity, and asked without jīng, "What's the matter?" ”

"Today, His Royal Highness the King of Chu brought the prince to Ziwei Pavilion and invited the seven phases to teach the prince to see politics, for an hour every day, for three consecutive months."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, his eyes were firmly fixed on Pei Ju. He didn't believe that Pei Ju was not interested in this news, if Pei Ju really didn't react, then he was really old.

Pei Ju was stunned at first. Then his eyes lit up, he became bright, and he asked in surprise, "What you said is true?" ”

Lu Yu nodded, "Of course it's true!" ”

Pei Ju's dry heart is like flowing into a gurgling spring, of course he knows the deep meaning of this, which means that Yang Yuanqing has not given up the son, as long as the son can be kept, then Minqiu's position as the queen can also be kept.

So even if the Pei family is temporarily suppressed, then as long as the son ascends the throne in the future, then the Pei family still has hope to rise. Although this will be decades later, it still gives Pei Ju a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Pei Ju was like a dead wood and a chūn, his whole body was full of vitality, and his mind returned to his usual jīng ming.

Pei Ju turned his head and glared at the eldest grandson Pei Jin, "Such a major matter." Why don't you report back to me? ”

Pei Jin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Grandson doesn't know about this, grandson is not in Ziwei Pavilion." ”

This sentence obviously led Pei Ju's dissatisfaction to Pei Qingsong, Pei Ju's anger that had just calmed down suddenly rose again, this Qingsong really didn't have a bit of officialdom brains, he didn't even say such a major thing, and asked Lu Yu to tell himself that such a Pei family disciple didn't need it.

Pei Ju restrained the anger in his heart, he glanced at Lu Yu, and felt that Lu Yu had something on his mind, Pei Ju knew that Lu Yu would not come to the door in order to tell him about the world, he must have other plans, and his tone became kind.

"Is there anything bothering Nephew Lu Xian?"

"It's not that I have troubles, but that we Shandong scholars have troubles."

Lu Yu sighed, "His Royal Highness actually forbade me and Professor Cui Hongyuan to be the son, obviously distrusting the family!" ”

Pei Ju knew this question well, he smiled and said: "Regarding the status of the Shandong Shi clan in the future, Lu Xian's nephew doesn't have to worry too much, even if he doesn't like the family anymore, but he still has to use it, he is suppressing the Shandong Shi clan now, in fact, it is just to leave a place for the future Guanlong nobles and the Guanlong Shi clan, just look at Wei Lun being promoted to the secretary to join the army, you should understand." ”……

Lu Yu said goodbye and left, Pei Ju sat alone in the room quietly thinking about countermeasures, at this time he was calm and rational enough, he believed that he would not make the same mistake again.

For the Pei family, a few decades is just a moment in a thousand-year-old family, as long as the talent is not lost, then the Pei family will always be invincible.

Pei Ju sighed deeply, many years ago he wanted to go to the family school in person, but until today he has not made the trip, saying that in his last few years, he must return to his own clan, and he must use most of his financial resources on the cultivation of the children of the younger generations.

What if Yang Yuanqing can't get his ambition for a while, only if the Pei family has enough talents, then after the prince ascends the throne, it will be the chūn day of the Pei family.

Thinking of this, Pei Ju took out a piece of paper and began to pick up the pen and write, at this time Pei Jin came back after sending Lu Yu, he didn't dare to speak, and stood quietly beside his grandfather.

Not long after, Pei Ju wrote a short message, dried the ink, put it in the envelope, carefully pressed the fire paint, and handed the letter to the eldest grandson, "Give this letter to Yang Yuanqing for me tomorrow." Tell him that I have returned to Wenxi's hometown overnight. ”

Pei Jin was taken aback, "Grandfather, why is this?" ”

Pei Ju smiled faintly. "This is my submission to him, since he sued me today, then I have to make a gesture of admitting defeat, so I will leave Taiyuan tonight, only in this way, the Pei family will temporarily escape this catastrophe."

Pei Jin lowered his head gloomily, and Pei Ju smiled slightly: "This may be a good thing." I can focus on educating the children of the Pei family, which has been my wish for many years, and I have fulfilled my wish. ”

Pei Ju sighed softly, and his tone became sad, "This farewell, maybe it will be goodbye to him, you tell him for me, I have always missed meeting him for the first time in Princess Leping's mansion." ”

Pei Jin nodded silently. Took the letter......

Pei Qingsong did not live in Pei's mansion, and soon after he joined the army as a clerk, Pei Ju gave him a small mansion. It covers an area of only two acres, but it is enough for their family to live, and the small house is not far from Pei's house, and you can walk to it with a stick of incense.

Pei Qingsong returned home with a heavy heart, and when he walked to the door, he saw a person standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me, Pei joins the army."

The person who came stepped forward and saluted him, "Your Highness, please go to Ziwei Pavilion." ”

Pei Qingsong recognized this person. It was the personal soldier beside the King of Chu, he looked at Ye Sè, it was already very late, and he couldn't help but hesitate, "Now?" ”

The pro-soldier nodded, "Your Highness asked you to go over now." ”

Pei Qingsong agreed. "Alright! I'll go. ”

The pro-soldiers led the two horses, Pei Qingsong turned over on the horse, and followed the pro-soldiers to Jinyang Palace at a gallop......

The night sè shrouded Jinyang Palace, the officials had already returned to the palace, the palace was extremely quiet, the lights were still on in the official room of the King of Chu on the third floor of Ziwei Pavilion, Yang Yuanqing had not returned to the house, today was his first day in the court, and the government affairs were extremely busy, and there were dozens of urgent notes that needed to be reviewed by him.

The light in the room was soft, Yang Yuanqing was engrossed in reviewing the notes, there was already a thick stack beside him, from the morning to now, he had processed most of it, only a dozen copies were left, at most there was one more hour, he could completely deal with it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of Zhang Liang, who joined the army in the record room, came from outside, "Your Highness, Pei has joined the army here." ”

Tonight happens to be Zhang Liang's turn to be on duty, Zhang Liang is also about to leave his post as the Taishou of Qian County, and Shi Weilun, the magistrate of Xihe County, will take over his position as a member of the army, while Pei Qingsong's position in the army will be taken over by Shi Chu Suiliang, the magistrate of Mayi County.

"Let him in!" Yang Yuanqing did not look up and continued to review his recital.

Pei Qingsong walked into the room with a heavy heart, he didn't know what the King of Chu was looking for him to do so late? Although he has not officially resigned now, and he has to wait for Chu Suiliang to come from Mayi County to hand over, but he is not on duty tonight, and the king of Chu will not look for him, and his intuition tells him that the king of Chu is looking for him should be related to the daytime.

"See Your Highness!" Pei Qingsong stepped forward and gave a deep salute.

Yang Yuanqing glanced up at him and asked with a smile, "I was reprimanded by the head of the family today!" ”

Pei Qingsong nodded silently, "I was severely reprimanded by the head of the family just now. ”

"This is understandable, you originally joined the army in the office, but you want to be a magistrate, your family master really can't figure it out!"

Pei Qingsong lowered his head and didn't say a word, Yang Yuanqing thought about it, and said meaningfully: "Okay!" I'll give you another chance to choose, you can stay and continue to serve as my secretary to join the army, or you can go to serve as the magistrate of Nanyang County, you can choose. ”

Pei Qingsong bit his lip tightly, although he also knew that he should stay for the sake of the family's interests, he finally shook his head, "I don't want to stay, I'm willing to go to Nanyang County." ”

"Why? Isn't the family important? Yang Yuanqing asked puzzled.

"Family is important, but my dream is ......"

Pei Qingsong sighed, "There is no shortage of a family secretary to join the army, but this is my life choice, and I will never regret it!" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled approvingly, he stood up and walked to Pei Qingsong, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him and said, "Go to Nanyang County to work hard, do political achievements, and five years later, I will promote you to Jing Zhaoyin." ”

Pei Qingsong suddenly felt moved to cry......

That night, a carriage drove out of Pei's Mansion under the escort of several horseback attendants, and before the city gate was closed, it drove out of Taiyuan City and headed for Wenxi County in the south
