Pei Shiju glanced at Wei Yuancheng seriously and said, "Although this is the case, don't forget that there is another person beside the King of Hanzhong, and you can't underestimate this person." ”

"The boss is talking about the eldest grandson Wuji? A person who still has his mind on Li Zhao, don't look at the prime minister who has asked him to walk in the Wude Hall now, but he doesn't really trust him, otherwise, at this time, the character who will only be Xianghou Dou Hongxian should be him, not Cen Wenwen. Wei Yuancheng said indifferently: "Worried about him, we might as well worry about Xiao Yu, this old thing has now got a better foreign aid." Cen Wenwen is not a simple character, with him, the eldest grandson Wuji may not necessarily take much advantage. ”

"Xiao Yu? How could the prime minister hand over the future of Jiangshan Sheji to a person with Yang Guang's blood? Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "Whether it is the Xiao family or Prince Chengxiao, it is impossible. Although the prime minister's position as the Son of Heaven is Zen, but the demise of Sui Yang back then is related to the prime minister after all, and the courtiers of the world, including you and me, have betrayed Sui Yang, if Prince Chengxiao ascends the throne, who knows if they will find trouble with those families. Therefore, even if Prince Chengxiao can gain the upper hand, it is absolutely impossible to get the final supreme position. ”

"Who does the old gentleman think will have the upper hand in the end?" Wei Yuancheng also had to agree that what Pei Shiju said made sense, and suddenly asked with some hesitation.

"It's just the king of Hanzhong, or Concubine Li, of course, as for the future, who knows? Even the Prime Minister doesn't know! You and I should resign ourselves to the fate of heaven! Pei Shiju shook his head and said. In fact, he didn't know what Li Xin thought in his heart, who would be the prince in the future, even he Pei Shiju didn't know.

"Now that the boss has decided, the matter of sealing Zen must be prepared as soon as possible, and Si Tianjian will choose an auspicious period. The Ministry of Rites is preparing for the sacrifice, and the Taimiao and so on are settled, and the Li family of Zhaojun also needs to send people to come, and these must be prepared as soon as possible. The Wude Hall also has to make arrangements. Wei Yuancheng did not continue to talk about this matter, but turned to Li Xin's accession to the throne.

"That's naturally so, as for auspicious things. We can let these Yin people do it, I believe they are more familiar with this matter than we do. Pei Shiju nodded, and said with a smile: "How many years, the old man once served Emperor Wen, then Emperor Wu, and now the Son of Yining, and finally the prime minister, and he can be regarded as a fourth-generation old minister." Even if you die now, I'm afraid it won't be in vain. ”

"The same is true for the lower officials." Wei Yuancheng also said with a smile: "It's just that the lower officials are worried that the prime minister will not accept the Li family of Zhaojun!" After all, there has been such a long time between the Li clan of Zhao County and the prime minister. The bloodline is thin, hehe, this Zhaojun Li family has gained such a big bargain, and he wants to become Zongzheng, is it too much. ”

"The prime minister's relatives are scarce, so this is the case, and there is no way to do it. Wouldn't that be great? Pei Shiju glanced at Wei Yuancheng and asked curiously, "Is there any way to solve it?" ”

"The prime minister's generation is like this. I hope this will not be the case in the future, after all, the prime minister has fewer heirs. Wei Yuancheng glanced at Li Xin. said: "The prime minister is young and strong now, and it is the time to extend the heirs for the royal family, what does the old man think?" ”

"Do you want to invite the prime minister to draft a draft girl and enter the palace to extend the heirs for the prime minister?" Pei Shiju glanced at Wei Yuancheng, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought of something. said: "Could it be that the Wei family has a daughter? ”

"Hehe, this don't hide the old man, before the prime minister set out, when he went to the Manifestation Temple, he once saw the niece of the lower official. Nizi has a love for the prime minister. Wei Yuancheng hesitated for a while before saying with a smile.

"Venizi?" Pei Shiju's face was stunned after hearing this, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, and he soon said with a smile: "The opinions of our courtiers are nothing, the key is the opinions of the prime minister and the princess, what do you think?" He was extremely disdainful in his heart, and at this time he remembered that Wang Xuanying had assassinated Li Xin, which was not only to give Li Xin an excuse to deal with Wang Shichong, but more importantly, to kill Wang Xuanying, and finally dissolve the marriage between Wang Xuanying and Wei Nizi, and even give Wei Nizi to Li Xin.

However, Pei Shiju had no choice, because Li Xin had seen Wei Nizi, he didn't know what Li Xin thought about Wei Nizi, that Wei Nizi was indeed born well, and he was also well-known in Chang'an City, Wei Yuancheng did this, but it was already determined that Li Xin would definitely take Venizi as a concubine. Pei Shiju also instantly understood why Wei Yuancheng was so opposed to the immediate canonization of the crown prince, not because of the king of Hanzhong, but more importantly, because of his Wei family's consideration.

"That's nature, that's nature." A trace of embarrassment flashed on Wei Yuancheng's face, he knew that Pei Shiju, the old fox, was probably already speculating about this matter clearly, but the arrow had been fired, and he didn't know if he could shoot the other party.

"Okay, the prime minister must be able to calm down the matter of Hedong soon, this battle, although we won, but pay a lot of things, look, Luoyang needs to be rescued, Henan is under the governance of Wang Shichong, the people are not happy, we also have to send officials to these as soon as possible, as for Hedong, not to mention, the people of Hedong do not know how many people are in exile in Guanzhong, we have to distribute these people food, money, and Hedong soldiers have been killed and wounded countless times, 50,000 troops, only 10,000 or 20,000 people are dead, and the pension of these generals is also a huge number, Wude Palace, Wuying Palace, and the six departments are all ready one by one, so as not to panic when they get it, and cause the prime minister to be dissatisfied. Pei Shiju said with a smile: "Although Guanzhong has been ripe in recent years, and there was a lot of grain in the previous dynasty, but the people of the world have been in hardship for a long time, and the prime minister loves the people like a son, I am afraid that I don't want such a thing to happen, and I don't know if these grains and grass are enough in the future!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's what the old man said." Wei Yuancheng nodded after hearing this, and said: "It's all that Li Shimin, if it weren't for the Li family colluding with the Turks and invading Hedong, where would such a thing happen?" Hedong is Taiping, Guanzhong is also Taiping, recently the grain prices in Guanzhong have risen a lot, Chang Ping has been flat grain prices for three consecutive days, if Hedong continues like this, I'm afraid Chang Ping can not support it, Hedong is still good to settle down as soon as possible. ”

"Luo Shixin has already led the army to set off, and even the prime minister has already traveled from Luoyang to Hedong, but Hedong, I don't know how long it can last." Pei Shiju sighed softly and said: "There are only 10,000 or 20,000 people left in the 50,000-strong army, which shows the tragedy of the war, Su Dingfang is really not simple!" ”

"For the sake of Hedong, didn't he even shoot the people of the Han family?" Wei Yuancheng said disdainfully: "Even if this person has made great achievements, I'm afraid it won't end well in the future." Wei Yuancheng took a look at Pei Shiju, isn't the Pei family in Hedong? Most of the landlords in Hedong have something to do with the Pei family, but he knows that among the people shot by Su Dingfang, there is a side branch of the Pei family in it, and there was a time when he played to go to the Wude Palace, but this old guy didn't make the slightest move, which made him very curious.

"As long as it is beneficial to the country, it doesn't matter how many people are killed, the prime minister will not say anything. Didn't Su Dingfang do this once or twice, but in the end, didn't he first remove himself from his official position and quickly give the other party a reward? Pei Shiju said indifferently: "What the prime minister wants is the result, not the process." What he needs is Hedong not to lose, and nothing else. What do adults think? ”

"The old man can see it." Wei Yuancheng nodded, thought for a while and said: "After the prime minister ascends the throne, when there are noble, virtuous, ladylike, and virtuous, the lower officials think that Concubine Pei is virtuous and virtuous, and after the Pei family, the blood is noble, and the concubine should live in it, what does the boss think?" ”

"This? Concubine Yao and Concubine Li are married to the prime minister, and they are married to the princess in the church, and they should be among the four concubines of Gui, Xian, Shu and De, although Concubine Pei is the granddaughter of the old man, but in the end, it is a latecomer, I am afraid it is not appropriate! Pei Shiju's eyes lit up, don't underestimate this title, but in Li Xin's harem, in addition to the queen of the main palace, there are the four ladies of Gui, Xian, Shu, and De, and then the nine concubines, and the rest of the women without names are a large number, according to Li Xin's current woman, Pei Fu is afraid that it will be very difficult for Pei Fu to enter the fourth lady, this status determines the future development prospects, and if the heir wants to become the prince in the future, he does not know how many hardships he will have to go through. Now after Wei Yuancheng said this, the child born to Pei Fu in the future may also become one of the candidates for the crown prince. And Pei Shiju just nodded and agreed to let Wei Nizi enter the palace.

"Could it be that Wei Yuancheng is so sure that Li Xin likes his niece?" Pei Shiju looked at Wei Yuancheng curiously, thought for a while and said, "According to reason, the old man should agree to the adult, but do you think the prime minister will obey our arrangement?" ”

"Jiangshan Sheji naturally won't, but there is one person who will make the prime minister have to be obedient." Wei Yuancheng said proudly.

"You're talking about the old lady?" Pei Shiju suddenly thought of someone, and said in surprise: "Master Wei is really powerful, I didn't expect that even this can be thought of, and the old man is willing to bow down." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Pei Shiju's mouth.

"If it weren't for Pei Niangniang's gentleness and humility, filial piety to the old lady, this would give me room to operate, otherwise, no matter how much we support it, I'm afraid I won't be able to speak to the old lady." Wei Yuancheng said with a smile: "Concubine Yao focuses on medicine and has low blood; Although the Li family is from the Li family in Longxi, they are arrogant by nature, even if they are perfunctory to the old lady, Princess Nanyang and Princess Yuerong are from the Yang family, and Concubine Xiao is from the Xiao family in Jiangnan, none of which can be among the four ladies, and the others, hehe, are even more impossible. can really be a concubine, the person under the queen, the Pei family is the most appropriate, what does the boss think?
