Early the next morning, Yang Yuanqing's carriage had just arrived at the gate of Jinyang Palace, but here he unexpectedly met Xiangwang Xu, and Yang Yuanqing had an indescribable disgust in his heart at this time for this Xiangguo with a thin face.

Yang Yuanqing does not want the Wang family to be absolutely loyal to him, he himself is also from a famous family, knowing that after hundreds of years of development, the family relationship has long been intertwined and flourishing, if there are a few family children who are officials in the enemy, this is also normal, such as the Pei family and the Cui family, and Lu Chu, the head of the Lu family, is even in Luoyang.

What he hated was 'deliberate', last night that Luo Ji told him that Wang Xu's second son was still studying in Chang'an Guozi at the beginning of the year, and in August he succeeded in seeking success in the East Palace and became enshrined in the Literature Museum, a hairy boy who had just debuted, could actually become the East Palace Literature Museum, obviously this was to win over the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Xu dared to say that he didn't know about it?

Yang Yuanqing even suspected that this was Wang Xu's deliberate arrangement, otherwise, a scholar of Guozi would dare to go to the East Palace Literature Museum to apply for recruitment without knowing the height of the sky?

In fact, Wang Xu made this matter public, his son was an official in Li Tang, but there was nothing to do, after all, the famous family is more concerned about the continuation of the family, not hanging on a tree, this is the chronic disease of all families, Yang Yuanqing is just uncomfortable, but he can understand.

But Wang Xu did not let his nephew or other nephews go to Li Tang, but let his son secretly be loyal to Li Tang, a 'secret', which shows that he has a ghost in his heart, in fact, it is a betrayal, in August, Wang Xu has become the Xiangguo of the Northern Sui, and he secretly asked his son to burn Li Tang's incense, this betrayal is intolerable to any person in power.

Although he saw through Wang Xu's hypocrisy, Yang Yuanqing did not want to turn his face with the Wang family at this time, on the one hand, although the preparations for war were in full swing, and officialdom could not occur in the rear for the time being, on the other hand. He also needs the Wang family to curb the dominance of the Pei family, if the Wang family falls, there will be a situation in which the Pei family controls the government, before the major mountain forces in the court do not rise together. It is true that the Wang family cannot be suppressed, but Wang Xu asked his son to burn Li Tang's incense secretly, and he must beware of Wang Xu betraying the interests of the Sui Dynasty.

"Boss, it seems to be a little early today!" Wang Xu smiled and stepped forward and arched his hand.

Yang Yuanqing snorted, "It's okay!" It should be considered normal, but I think Wang Xiangguo is a little late. ”

Wang Xu didn't know that Luo Ji, who was kicked out of the mansion by him last night, was now hiding in Yang Yuanqing's mansion, in fact, he didn't take that woman to heart at all. A dusty woman who relied on her performing arts to please people actually said that she gave birth to Wang's flesh and blood, whether it was true or not, he would never admit it.

His second son Wang Ling entered the East Palace to enshrine the Literature Museum very secretively, and it was not made public, but Wang Xu didn't expect Yang Yuanqing to know this secret inadvertently.

He touched his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I am late today, and my body is a little unwell." ”

Yang Yuanqing immediately said with concern: "Wang Xiangguo is unwell, go back and rest!" Don't break your body. ”

"Thank you for your concern, a little illness is not in the way. I wonder what will happen to the negotiations with the Turks? ”

"Negotiating with the Turks is beneficial to both sides, and there will not be too many twists and turns."

．．．．．．．．

The two walked as they spoke. Then he entered the Ziwei Pavilion, Yang Yuanqing walked into his official room, a guard hurriedly stepped forward to take off the big hat for him, Yang Yuanqing saw that Pei Qingsong and Xiao Jin had already started to deal with official business, so he asked, "Is there anything big today?" ”

Pei Qingsong was taking over Shen Chun's official business and was in charge of external affairs, so he hurriedly stood up and reported: "Early in the morning, news came from Jingzhao Mansion that Sima Wen Yanbo, the governor of Youzhou, had entered the city and was now temporarily living in the Sui Pavilion. ”

Yang Yuanqing received an eagle letter from Shanggu County two days ago. said that Wen Yanbo was ordered to envoy to the Sui Dynasty and was on his way to Taiyuan, this news made Yang Yuanqing quite interested, Yang Yuanqing was not interested in the content of Wen Yanbo's envoy, he was interested in Wen Yanbo, as early as the fourth year of the Great Cause, when he met Xue Daoheng in Jiangnan. Speaking of the world's talents, Xue Daoheng mentioned Taiyuan Sanwen, saying that the three brothers are all prime ministers, Wen Yanbo is a native of Qi County, Taiyuan County, and is also from a famous family in Hedong, and now he is the most important political official in Youzhou.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Pei Qingsong: "You go to the Gui Sui Pavilion and invite him to see me, you must be polite, don't be careless." ”

"Obedience!"

Pei Qingsong hurriedly went, and Yang Yuanqing instructed Xiao Jin again, "Go and ask Pei Xiangguo to come and see me!" ”

Yang Yuanqing also wanted to know the specific situation of Pei Ju's negotiations with the Turkic Men yesterday.

．．．．．．．．

Wen Yanbo arrived in Taiyuan City last night, although he has relatives in Taiyuan City, and his master is Wang Tong, but he doesn't want to go to relatives and friends, he only plans to find an inn to stay for one night, but Jingzhao Shaoyin Xue Mingyi recognized him and enthusiastically arranged him to live in the Guisui Pavilion.

The accommodation conditions here are very good, and the pavilion ministers are also very careful and thoughtful, but he is still a little depressed in his heart, the other party actually placed him in the Gui Sui Pavilion, do you think that he also came to join the Sui Dynasty?

Wen Yanbo paced slowly in the building with his hands behind his back, the building was very large, there were dozens of courtyards, it seemed that many courtyards were inhabited, and when he walked to a courtyard, he heard the sound of reading aloud from the courtyard, he couldn't help but look into the courtyard, the sound of reading stopped abruptly, and an old man sitting under the plum tree reading looked up and glared at him very dissatisfied.

Wen Yanbo saw that the old man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, he was sorry in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Sorry to disturb the old gentleman reading!" I'm sorry! ”

He was about to exit the courtyard, and the old man in the courtyard suddenly asked, "Are you Wen Er or Wen San?" ”

Wen Yanbo saw that he knew himself, probably his elder, and hurriedly said, "Boy Yanbo! ”

The old man laughed kindly, "Hehe! You are Wen Er, the son of my deceased. ”

Wen Yanbo's father, Wen Junyou, was originally a bachelor of the Northern Qi Wenlin Pavilion, and later served as the Sima of Sichuan in the Sui Dynasty, the old man's words, Wen Yanbo suddenly remembered, he saw this old man when he was young, and he was also a bachelor of the Northern Qi Wenlin Pavilion, Xu Wenyuan, a famous Confucian, is currently the chief priest of Luoyang Guozi, how could he be here?

"It turned out to be Uncle Xu!"

Wen Yanbo hurriedly stepped forward to salute again. "Da Lin, see Uncle Xu!"

Wen Yanbo's original name was Wen Dalin, and later changed his name to Yanbo, he didn't expect to meet the elders and deceased people in the Gui Sui Pavilion, which really made him happy. I was also a little surprised in my heart, could it be that Xu Wenyuan was also going to take refuge in the Northern Sui?

Xu Wenyuan served as a doctor of Guozi when Emperor Wen of Sui, and trained many outstanding children, such as Yang Xuangan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, etc., all of whom were his disciples, and had a great reputation in the Sui Dynasty. But recently, the situation in Luoyang has deteriorated, prices have skyrocketed, the people are not living, even he himself has to go out to collect firewood to survive, the hardships of life and his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty made him finally choose the Northern Sui and come to Taiyuan to seek a job.

Xu Wenyuan waved his hand, "Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite. Have a seat! ”

Waiting for Wen Yanbo to sit down, Xu Wenyuan asked again: "Is the virtuous nephew also here to defect to Xinsui?" ”

Wen Yanbo smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "The little nephew is currently the head of Youzhou, Sima, and he was ordered to envoy to the Sui Dynasty. ”

"Luo Yi?"

Xu Wenyuan shook his head. "Luo Yi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and became self-reliant, self-isolated, his people were fierce and timid, even the rabble like Wei Dao'er and Liu Wuzhou hesitated, and gave the opportunity to others in vain, if he had taken Shanggu and Hengshan counties as soon as possible, opened the Hedong Passage, and with the strength of the Youzhou army, how could there be today's Northern Sui? This person is nothing more than dry bones in the mound and fish on the chopping board. Not worthy of a virtuous nephew to serve him. ”

Wen Yanbo secretly praised Xu Wenyuan in his heart for his sharp eyes and the current situation very thoroughly, and he asked again: "I don't know who my uncle thinks will win in the end, Northern Sui and Western Tang?" ”

Xu Wenyuan brushed his beard and said: "Since the virtuous nephew is the son of my worldly friend, I have to say some things, although Li Yuan occupies the land of the Guanzhong Emperor. But he was suspected of colluding with the Turks, and the name of the army was not right, he called himself Sui Chen, but as soon as the first emperor died, he set himself up as the emperor, and he lost the way of the monarch and the minister...."

Before Xu Wenyuan finished speaking, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but say: "But the world also recognizes him as orthodox." ”

Xu Wenyuan sneered, "He is just the orthodoxy recognized by the nobles of Guanlong, Emperor Jiye and Emperor Tai are all here, how can he be orthodox?" ”

Wen Yanbo's face flushed, and he didn't speak again, Xu Wenyuan continued: "Of course, Li Yuan's accession to the throne also has his attraction, which is much better than Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Xiao Mi and others, but he was too heavily controlled by the Guanlong nobles and the Li family, so that people can't see the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, militarily he can't beat the new Sui, he has been defeated repeatedly, politically he can't break the interest monopoly of the Guanlong group, and he can't effectively gain public support, the key is that the Shandong Shi clan does not recognize him, but Yang Yuanqing has the support of the Shandong Shi clan, in the final analysis, The current situation is still a continuation of the struggle between the two major power groups behind the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, when the Guanlong nobles defeated the Shandong scholars, and now the Guanlong nobles suffered from the severe suppression of the first emperor, and they are no longer as brave as they were back then, while the Shandong scholars suffered the impact of rebellion and banditry, and they were not as prosperous as they were back then, so who can have the last laugh in the end of the two major forces, I really can't say, but I am personally optimistic about Yang Yuanqing, he at least does not have the burden of Li Yuan's family, and he can only take the talents, which is enough to buy the hearts of the world's scholars. ”

Wen Yanbo nodded silently, he felt that what Xu Wenyuan said was very reasonable, and he appreciated the fact that he could be fair regardless of his poverty.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when Wen Yanbo turned around, he saw a young official appear behind him, and he bowed and saluted: "Pei Qingsong, who joined the army in the Records Office of the Lower Chu Palace, the head of my family invited Wen Sima to come and meet." ”

Wen Yanbo hurriedly got up and saluted back, "I'll go now!" ”

Xu Wenyuan also got up and asked, "Pei joins the army, is there anything to say about the old man?" ”

Pei Qingsong smiled slightly, "The old gentleman doesn't have to be anxious, the old gentleman's entry into the Ministry of Clerks has been approved, and it is now being discussed in Ziwei Pavilion, and finally signed by the general manager. ”

Xu Wenyuan was also a little embarrassed to smile, "I'm a person with a hurry, in fact, I've only been here for three days, and people who came earlier than me are still waiting, but I'm impatient, ashamed!" ”

Pei Qingsong bowed and waved his hand to Wen Yanbo, "Wen Sima, please!" ”
