Wang Xuanzhi saw that Su Wei was about to get into the carriage, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Su Xiangguo, please take a while, we have notified the head of the family, and the head of the family will come out immediately." ”

"Huh! Is it? I'm worried that Wang Xiangguo is busy, and I will disturb him.

"Okay, please wait for Su Xiangguo."

Wang Xuanzhi hurriedly gave the housekeeper next to him a look (), the housekeeper rushed in to report, Su Wei sneered behind his back, Wang Xu even gave himself eye medicine, and it was too late to make him cry later.

After a while, Wang Xu walked out of the mansion quickly, and said with a smile: "If I don't come out to greet you, won't Su Xiangguo enter the mansion?" ”

"Where? I was worried that Wang Xiangguo would have something, and I was afraid that I would disturb Wang Xiangguo, so the old man didn't dare to come to the door. ”

"Su Xiangguo is a distinguished guest who can't be invited, even if I have a big thing, I will put it down, how dare I snub Su Xiangguo, Su Xiangguo, please come in!"

Wang Xu - put the temple, very respectfully invited Su Wei into the mansion, Su Wei walked into the Wang family mansion with his hands behind his back triumphantly, Wang Xu was behind, squinting at his back and scolding in his heart, "This dead old man, uninvited, the shelf is not small." ”

Wang Xu did not invite Su Wei to his study, - most high-ranking officials will have two study rooms, - an outer study room, - an inner study, the inner study is the master's private place, - ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and the outer study is more often - a kind of place to meet guests, there are other - ordinary guests, such as brothers in the clan, or allies of the DPRK and China and other extremely close relations, will go to the outer study to talk.

And a high-ranking official like Su Wei, who is not a close ally at the same time, will not go to the outer study, but to the expensive room.

The two walked into your room, sat down as a guest, and the maid served tea, Wang Xu also knew that Su Wei would not come to the door if he had nothing to do, so he groaned and said: "Su Xiangguo came to the door today, is there anything important?" ”

"Huh! There is no big "wings without watermark" thing, but I just heard an interesting thing, and I would like to remind you that Wang Xiangguo is under you. ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Xu was a little nervous, of course he knew that the so-called interesting thing was just a statement—there must be some big "wings without watermarking" thing, otherwise Su Wei would not have come to the door in person.

Su Wei was still smiling, and said unhurriedly: "About half a month ago!" There is a woman, holding a child is said to be Chang'an Leji, suing everywhere, hasn't Wang Xiangguo heard about it? ”

Wang Xu - stunned, "What woman, does it have anything to do with me?" ”

Su Wei nodded, "It has something to do with it, that woman said that the child in her hand is the child of the Wang family's flesh and blood and Linglang Wang Ling." ”

Su Wei's eyes narrowed, and his eyes flashed—a kind of cunning brightness, "This matter, doesn't Wang Xiangguo really know?" ”

Wang Xu only felt in his head, 'Boom! Beads of sweat rolled down his back, and he suddenly remembered what happened last winter, a lowly music girl, holding a child, came to the door, saying that he was born to his eldest son Ling, of course, he was furious and ordered the music girl to be driven out of the house.

Afterwards, he regretted a little that he couldn't let this woman go around to publicize it, so he asked his brother Wang Su to find this woman to give her some money and let her leave Taiyuan, but this woman couldn't find it, and it had been several months, and he gradually forgot about it, but at this unexpected moment, this incident suddenly broke out.

Cold sweat continued to break out on Wang Xu's forehead, Su Wei actually mentioned his son's name, so would he reveal the details of his son?

He restrained the panic in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "Doesn't Su Xiangguo think this matter is funny? The fact that the Wang family's famous family has a relationship with a dusty woman sounds so absurd! ”

"Huh! This woman actually ran to stop the car of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, in order to protect the reputation of Wang Xiangguo, His Royal Highness the King of Chu ordered the Yushitai to take over the matter, I heard that the Yushitai came back from the investigation in Chang'an, and found a more interesting thing, it was about Ling Lang! ”

Su Wei's words were like a knife into Wang Xu's heart, which made him completely desperate, and Wang Xu understood that Yang Yuanqing had already known about his son Wang Ling's worship in the East Palace Literature Museum, and his stepping on two boats was exposed.

Wang Xu seems to be ten years old, and when he is about to change his appearance, this matter is shaken out, and the impact on him is great.

But Wang Xu still holds the hope of the line, this matter is what Su Wei wants to blackmail himself, or Yang Yuanqing's meaning, if it is the former, then there is also the hope that the line can be solved, and he and Su Wei can talk about the conditions.

Wang Xu sighed, "Su Xiangguo, you can say it clearly!" What exactly do you want, we can talk - talk. ”

"Huh! Wang Xiangguo is really a smart person. ”

Su Wei shook his head regretfully, "I'd love to talk to you." It's just a pity that I'm not here on my own behalf. ”

"What?"

Wang Xu's face twitched, "What are you talking about?" ”

Su Wei put a copy of this impeachment on the table, and said lightly, "See for yourself!" After reading it, you will know what to do. ”

With that, Su Wei stood up and walked away......

Wang Xu picked up the song and only read two pages, and then it was like stepping into the abyss, and it was pitch black in front of him, he knew that his phase was finished, Yang Yuanqing shook this matter out at this time, undoubtedly to let him retire, and now it is to give him a step, if he is not interested, I am afraid the problem will be serious.

……

The next day - early, Wang Xu formally submitted his resignation, on the grounds of lack of ability, resigned from the phase, Yang Yuanqing returned his resignation three times, Wang Xu played three times, Yang Yuanqing finally approved his resignation, renamed him Zhao County Taishou, and named Wei County Taishou Yang Shanhui as the criminal department of Shangshu, into Ziwei Pavilion as the phase.

Also on the same day, Lu Yu, the Taishou of Yuyang County, was transferred to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Internal History, and Cui Hongyuan, the Taishou of Hengshan County, served as Nayan, and both of them entered Ziwei Pavilion as ministers.

Cui Hongyuan is the brother of Cui Hongsheng, the former Zhuojun Counselor, and is the head of the Cui family in Boling, and enjoys high prestige in the Hebei family, so that Su Wei - Du Ruhui - Cui Junsu - Yang Shidao - Yang Shanhui - Lu Yu - Cui Hongyuan, these seven people formed a new Ziwei Pavilion, known as the 'New Sui Seven Gui......"

The seven new Xiangguo of Ziwei Pavilion suddenly became the focus of attention of the government and the opposition, and there was a lot of discussion in Taiyuan City, and everyone was talking about the resumes of these seven Xiangguo, and talking about the balance of power of the seven Xiangguo of Ziwei this time.

Pei Mansion, Pei Ju's study sat several important Pei family children, Pei Shiqing - Pei Jin and Pei Qingsong, Pei Ju was wearing a fine linen wide cicada clothes, his expression was relaxed and leisurely, he no longer served as Xiangguo, retired and went home, although he was old, he did not return to his hometown, and still stayed in Taiyuan.

Pei Ju is still paying attention to the changes in the current situation in the imperial court, without the trivial matters of the imperial court, Pei Ju spends more time thinking about the future of the Pei family, among all the children of the Pei family, he values three people the most, Pei Shiqing - Pei Jin and Pei Qingsong, he believes that the future of the Pei family must be tied to these three people, and he is full of high hopes for the three of them.

"This time the Ziwei Pavilion changes, Cui Hongyuan and Lu Yu into the pavilion is in my expectation, after all, the King of Chu wants to envelop the Hebei Shi clan, Fanyang Lu clan and Boling Cui clan are the two major counties in Hebei, and their entry into the pavilion is expected by the public, but Yang Shidao and Yang Shanhui will enter the pavilion is beyond my expectations, I want to hear your thoughts."

His gaze first went to Pei Shiqing to marry, "Shiqing, you are an elder, you can say it first!" ”

Pei Shiqing was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites because of the retirement of Pei Ju and Pei Wenjing, although he was not able to enter the phase, but he also became a core high-ranking official, which made the Pei family not marginalized.

Pei Shiqing once served as the head of Hongluqing during the Great Cause, and after four years of Great Cause, he led the Sui Dynasty delegation to follow the envoy Ono Meizi to visit the Wei Kingdom, and was deeply praised by Yang Guang after returning.

After Yang Yuanqing seized Taiyuan, Pei Shiqing fled from all directions to persuade the southern counties of Hedong Province to be loyal to the new Sui, and made great achievements, and was named Honglu Siqing.

Although Pei Shiqing and Pei Ju are both Wenxi Pei's family, they have different branches of the same clan, and he is the same branch as Pei Qingsong, and he is Pei Qingsong's uncle.

Pei Shiqing bowed slightly and replied: "If you go home, Yang Shidao is a royal family of the Sui family, and his entry into the cabinet can appease many old Sui ministers, in addition, Yang Shidao was once the Taishou of Wuyuan County, and he has a good personal relationship with the King of Chu, plus his sister Jiang Peihua is the concubine of the King of Chu, he should be Yang Yuanqing's confidant, and his qualifications are enough, it is not strange for him to enter the cabinet, but Yang Shanhui's nephew who entered the cabinet does not understand very well." ”

Next to him, Lou Jin said: "Sun Er thinks that Yang Shan will enter the cabinet, will it have something to do with Yan Nong Yang's family?" ”

Pei Ju pondered for a moment and said: "Although Yang Yuanqing was born in the Hongnong Yang family, he will not recognize his origin at this time, otherwise he will not be able to fight the banner of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Shanhui is an upright official, outstanding ability, and very prestigious in the Luoyang Imperial Court, I think Yang Yuanqing's real intention of using him as a prime minister is for Luoyang and to recruit Luoyang's ministers." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Ju glanced at Pei Qingsong next to him, and saw that his lips were stretched into a straight line, so he was afraid of saying the wrong word.

Pei Ju smiled slightly: "Qingsong, why don't you speak, you follow the pole...... Next to the King of Chu, it stands to reason that you should know the King of Chu better than us, don't you have any news? ”

Pei Qingsong bit his lower lip, he was very embarrassed, the king of Chu had talked about these things to him and Xiao Shan, but he didn't want to talk about the conversation of the king of Chu again, he thought it was disloyalty to the king of Chu, but the head of the family asked him, and he didn't want to lie, which made him extremely entangled in his heart, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.

Pei Jin sneered beside him, "I joined the army as a record office, and I don't even want my family anymore, hum!" ”

Although Pei Jin did the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was jealous of Pei Qingsong, how many years did he stay up, and he came up step by step, this Pei Qingsong joined the army as a clerk as soon as he entered the office, which made him extremely unconvinced.

Pei Ju waved his hand and motioned for Pei Jin not to interject, he smiled gently at Pei Qingsong: "If you feel embarrassed, it's okay not to say it!" ”

Pei Qingsong sighed, "Using Yang Shanhui as a phase, the main reason is that the King of Chu wants to appease the Hongnong Yang family, so as to block the mouth of the people in the world, saying that he is a person who forgets his roots." ”
