Chapter 0141: Asking to see Pei Ju
>,!
Zhang Xuan settled the army, and then came to the Yan Wangfu, he had no acquaintances in Luoyang, only a group of guards in the former Yan Wangfu, Zhang Xuan just came to the gate of the Yan Wangfu, just met Han Xin, Han Xin is Han Baohu's nephew, he is a bold and righteous person, and Zhang Xuan fought together in the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, and the two formed a friendship. ↖,
The two met unexpectedly, laughed and hugged each other, Han Xin gave Zhang Xuan a punch in the shoulder socket and smiled: "Sure enough, I was promoted again, it's enviable!" ”
"What kind of promotion, fighting everywhere all day long, living with your head up, where is the Yanwang Mansion having a good time, don't mention it!"
Zhang Xuan looked at him for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Han has also been promoted!" ”
"Huh! It was in the place of you, Prince Qianniu, Xuanhuiwei, thanks to our Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant to fight against Yuwen Taibao together, King Yan promoted me, not only me, but all the brothers who participated in the fight that night were promoted to one level. ”
When the two talked about the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, they couldn't help laughing together.
"Where's Sichang, is he there?"
Although Zhang Xuan has a good relationship with Han Xin, it is far from the extent of putting his heart in his heart, Zhang Xuan wants to inquire about the situation in the court, but he still has to find Chai Shao.
Han Xin scratched his head, "It's unfortunate that my brother came, Si Chang just took a month off yesterday, saying that he was going home to visit his grandfather, do you have something to do with him?" ”
"Nothing, just asking."
Zhang Xuan was a little disappointed in his heart, Chai Shao was not there, he couldn't find anyone to ask about the situation for a while, at this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Is my dormitory still there?" ”
"It's still there, His Royal Highness King Yan specially kept it for you, and no one else is allowed to move in."
Jang Hyun remembered an item he had hidden in that room that he had to take away, and he smiled, "I'll go and see!" ”
Han Xin took him into the Yanwang Mansion. Went directly to the small courtyard where he once lived, and the door was locked with a big iron lock, "I'll go find the key!" Han Xin turned around and ran out.
"No need!"
Jang Hyun stopped him with a smile, grabbed the iron lock casually, and just listened, 'Click!' With a bang, he directly screwed the iron lock. Han Xin was stunned for a while, what kind of strength does this take?
The room remained the same as when he left, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, the paper and pen on the table were placed in turn, and in the corner of the room was a large box for his personal belongings, but the table top was covered with a thin layer of dust.
Han Xin smiled knowingly: "I still have some things to go first, if my brother needs help, just come to me." ”
"Is His Royal Highness King Yan here?"
Han Xin shook his head, "After that incident." His Royal Highness is rarely in the palace anymore, most of the time is in the palace, and I haven't seen him since I came back from Zhuojun. ”
"Thank you, Brother Han!"
Han Xin arched his hand and left quickly, Zhang Xuan closed the door and slowly walked to the big box, he opened the box, there were only a few clothes and a flat jade box inside.
Jang Hyun opened the jade box. Inside was a jade hairpin with exquisite workmanship, which reminded Zhang Xuan of the little imperial aunt of the eccentric elf. I wonder if she still remembers herself? Have you gone shopping again?
He shook his head with a smile, stuffed the jade box into the leather bag, he moved the wooden box again, he pulled out the dagger and pried up a few bricks, dug out a slightly rusty iron box from the ground, and opened the iron box. Inside were pistol parts wrapped in layers of yellow brocade, as well as two bullets.
Zhang Xuan looked at the pistol and bullets in a daze, he had been in Dasui for a whole year, he had almost completely integrated into this era, and almost forgot that he was once a person who lived in another world. Perhaps only this pistol reminded him of his past self.
After a long time, Jang Hyun sighed softly and carefully put the pistol and bullets into his arms, which would be his most precious memorial.
Jang Hyun left the room and walked to the door, where he took one last look at the room he had lived in, turned around and strode away without hesitation
At the window on the third floor of the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant next to Luoyang West Market, Zhang Xuan sat alone at the table, looking at the bustling West Market shop street in the distance.
It was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun had painted the capital of the Great Sui Empire with a layer of golden yellow, and it was the last time before darkness came.
The arrest and imprisonment of Laihu'er undoubtedly cast a thick shadow on the upcoming triumphant reward, Zhang Xuan also knew that Yang Guang was not impulsive, he had a deeper intention to arrest Laihu'er, maybe he wanted to borrow Laihu'er to give a warning to more ill-intentioned people, maybe it also involved the power struggle in the adjustment of the army, or maybe it was Laihu'er's high achievement.
However, in any case, Yang Guang should not ignore the feelings of the low-level soldiers, nor should he infringe on the vital interests of the low-level soldiers, let alone allow a bureaucratic body like the Ministry of War to arbitrarily judge the soldiers who fought bloodily for the country.
No matter how turbulent the court will be, the key is what he Zhang Xuan should do, whether to sit back and wait for others to decide his fate, or whether he should take the initiative to fight for his own interests.
Jang Hyun drank all the wine in the cup, got up and walked downstairs, he Zhang Hyun must not let others control his fate
There is a mansion covering an area of nearly 50 acres in Luoyang Xiuye Fang, which is the house of Pei Ju, the secretary of the ministry.
After the death of Niu Hong in the internal history, Su Wei was the only one in the name of the Xiangguo of the Great Sui, but in fact, there were many important ministers who had the power of the Xiangguo, such as Yu Shiji, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Xiao Yu, Fan Zi, Gai Weixuan, etc., and even Yu Wenshu also had a little power of the Xiangguo.
So many times, everyone casually calls Pei Ju Pei Xiangguo, but in the official title, he can only be called Pei Shangshu.
Night has quietly fallen, the red lantern in front of the gate of Pei's mansion is lit, and several family members are moving the military honor rack and dismount cards placed in front of the gate into the mansion.
At this time, the housekeeper who was commanding his family suddenly saw several soldiers standing not far away, led by a tall young general, who was carefully looking at the gate of Pei's Mansion.
The butler hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Is there something wrong with this general?" ”
The young general was Zhang Xuan, he inquired all the way to find Pei Ju's mansion, Zhang Xuan returned the salute to the butler and asked, "Is this Pei Shangshu's mansion?" ”
"Exactly!"
The housekeeper looked at him, and saw that he was handsome and polite, and couldn't help but have a good impression, so he smiled and asked, "Is the general looking for my master?" ”
Jang Xuan nodded. took out the name card that Pei Ju had given him, handed it to the housekeeper and said, "In Xia Zhang Xuan, Pei Shangshu knows me." ”
When the housekeeper saw that the other party actually had the master's name, he was immediately impressed by him, and hurriedly said: "Please wait for the general, I will go to report to the master!" ”
The butler turned around and walked briskly towards the house. Zhang Xuan looked at the housekeeper and entered the mansion, he felt a little helpless in his heart, he couldn't find King Yan, he could only ask other important ministers for help, he wanted to find Yu Juluo, but Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu both led the army to go on the expedition and were not in the capital.
After thinking about it, he could only find Pei Ju, after all, it was Pei Ju who took him to the Xiaoguo military camp. Pei Ju has a moral responsibility to himself.
After a while, the housekeeper ran out of the mansion, followed by a young man, the housekeeper pointed at Zhang Xuan, and the young man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Is it General Zhang?" ”
"I am, may I ask Childe-"
"In Xia Pei Xin, my grandfather invited General Zhang into the mansion for a while."
It turned out to be Pei Ju's grandson, and Zhang Xuan saw that he was a steady and polite person. Then he nodded, "Then please Pei Gongzi!" ”
"General Zhang, please!"
Zhang Xuan instructed the soldiers. followed Pei Xin into the gate of Pei's mansion, and came to Pei Ju's outer study, which is the place where Pei Ju receives important ministers of the imperial court and his cronies, and generally does not receive outsiders easily, he asked Zhang Xuan to come to the outer study, which is actually a hint. said that he is willing to develop a deeper relationship with Jang Hyun.
This depends on the respective visions of the high-ranking officials and ministers, because of the imprisonment of Laihu'er, he led the Goguryeo soldiers to suddenly become a masterless general, but at the same time it has also become the object of secret contention between all parties, after all, the tens of thousands of former troops led by Laihu'er are the elite army of the Great Sui. Even Wenchen like Pei Ju was moved.
Everyone wants to establish their own power, this kind of power is not only financial power or personnel power, but also includes military power in today's chaos, and Pei Ju, who bears the interests of the family, is no exception.
"General Zhang, please! My grandfather will be coming soon. ”
Pei Xin invited Zhang Xuan into the room, and instructed the maid to serve tea, Pei Ju's outer study was very elegantly furnished, the walls were painted snow-white, and there were several freehand landscape paintings, and a large couch was placed under the window, and in the middle was a small rosewood table, next to which there were two bronze floor lamps, the candlelight was bright, in addition, there was a bookcase and an incense burner.
Zhang Xuan was looking at the outer study, only to hear footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Pei Ju in civilian clothes walking in with a smile.
"General Zhang, long time no see!"
Compared with the last time we met Zhuojun, Pei Ju's complexion was much better, and his spirit was also good, Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See Pei Shangshu!" ”
"You're welcome, General Zhang, please take a seat!"
Pei Ju smiled and asked Zhang Xuan to sit down, he also sat down, his grandson Pei Xin didn't dare to sit down, he stood beside his grandfather with his hands down, Pei Ju asked again: "When did the general come back?" ”
"I just arrived in Luoyang in the afternoon, and the army is currently stationed in the western inner camp."
"Oh! It's going well! Bandits are rampant in Hebei, and this time even the saint saw a team of bandits with his own eyes. ”
Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "It is indeed very rampant, when I came back from my humble position, a fierce battle broke out with Zhang Jin's army in Qinghe County, and I broke through and killed." ”
"And that kind of thing?"
Pei Ju was stunned, "The bandits actually dare to attack the regular army, has it reached this level?" ”
"I took a few prisoners of war, and according to them, it was the high-ranking officials in the court who wanted to harm me, so I borrowed a knife to kill people."
Pei Ju is so old and spicy, he immediately heard what Zhang Xuan was referring to, it must be Yuwenshu, in fact, Pei Ju is also extremely dissatisfied with Yuwenshu.
Cui Junsu is his Pei Ju's person, this time Cui Junsu prepared a combat report on Goguryeo as the imperial history of the supervising army, but it has not been reported, Yuwenshu preemptively impeached Laihu'er, which should have been a matter of the supervising army, but it became Yuwenshu's credit.
In this way, Yuwenshu, who had nothing to do with the Goguryeo Campaign, stepped in, as if he was leading the battle and snatching the credit of Laihu'er, which was not only despicable, but also violated the interests of many people, including Pei Ju.
Pei Ju raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in a voice, "Does the general have any evidence?" (To be continued......)
