Chapter 597: Behind
"What the old man means is that we are only facing the Turks now." Wei Yuancheng hesitated for a while before saying, "If that's the case, we just need to be careful about what happened after the Hedong War." ”
"Yes, now we don't know where Li Shimin is and where Li Zhao's army is? Are they recuperating? No, they are definitely looking for opportunities, looking for opportunities to give us the fatal blow. Pei Shiju nodded and said, "Let the Jinyi Guard immediately reconnoiter the movements in the area of the Bird Mouse Valley, Li Shimin's army may be stationed at the back of the Bird Mouse Valley, and they are waiting to see our jokes?" ”
"What does the old man think we should do now?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Pei Shiju and said.
"Wait, on the one hand, wait for the situation on the Prime Minister's side, and let Su Dingfang support it for a while longer. The longer he persists, the greater the chances on the side of the prime minister and the general, as long as Wang Shichong is destroyed, even if we and the Turks are both defeated, Li Shimin's soldiers and horses will not attack Hedong City. Pei Shiju touched his beard and said: "We didn't have a good chance to fight with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan and they also didn't do a good job when they fought with us, Hedong is a place for a decisive battle." So the key to this battle is not in Hedong, but in Luoyang. Although there are relatively few soldiers and horses defending Guanzhong, don't forget, this is Guanzhong, the people of Guanzhong are all in the prime minister's heart, the prime minister is sympathetic to the people, and the people of Guanzhong live and work in peace and contentment. What do you think? ”
"The old man is wise." Everyone in the Wude Hall glanced at each other, and finally nodded one after another, I have to say that although Pei Shiju looks old, his prestige is still above everyone, and after his words come out, who dares to say anything.
"The key is that Guanzhong can't be chaotic. As long as we can't mess with ourselves, no matter how strong the enemy is, he is not our opponent. Pei Shiju stood up, his cloudy eyes disappeared without a trace, and said: "It's just a group of Turkic people, and they don't even occupy Hedong, so they scare you like this, how can you assist the prime minister in the future and dominate the world!" ”
"Boss." Wei Yuancheng's face was slightly red, he was really a little ashamed of this kind of thing. The Turks have not yet come to the door, Wei Yuancheng is a little worried, no wonder Pei Shiju is Li Xin is also afraid of him, not only because this old man represents the family, but more importantly, because Pei Shiju can perceive people's hearts, which is the most important thing.
In the past, he thought that Pei Shiju was just because of his old qualifications and the long time he had assisted Li Xin, so Li Xin made him the first minister, but now he knows that Pei Shiju is not just old. And it is to be well-informed in order to play a key role in the most critical time. His words were enough to withstand the words of all the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"When you go back, do whatever you want. If you are in chaos, then the whole Guanzhong is in chaos. If Guanzhong is in chaos, the whole world is in chaos, how can the prime minister fight in front? Pei Shiju's voice became louder, and he snorted coldly: "Tell those literati and ink writers." It's okay to visit the brothel of the Qinglou, drink flower wine, and talk about women or something. Don't panic. With the prime minister here, the sky won't fall. ”
"Yes." A trace of cold sweat faintly appeared on everyone's foreheads, Pei Shiju's voice was very loud, with a hint of ruthlessness in the old man, and everyone was extremely ashamed, even Du Ruhui was faintly surprised, this old man who was smiling all day long, once he was angry, he really had a sense of majesty.
"Alright, let's go down on an errand!" Pei Shiju waved his hand and said. Then everyone took their leave.
Outside the Wude Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the figures of everyone leaving, and finally sighed, turned around and entered the harem, and inquired in the harem, only to know that the eldest grandson Wuji was not in the dormitory, but went to the cloth workshop. The so-called cloth workshop is nothing more than a place where the eldest grandson Wujian and other people in the back house weave cloth.
The eldest grandson is diligent and thrifty, and the back house is mostly diligent and thrifty, and the eldest grandson Wuji even sometimes weaves and spins cloth and spins himself, making clothes for Li Xin, and the eldest grandson Wuji has not yet approached the main hall, and he heard the sound of flying shuttles inside.
"Mother." The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the main hall, only to see that there was only one person in the main hall, and there were several maids and chamberlains, and the eldest grandson Wuji respectfully bowed to the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Brother is here." Eldest Sun Wujian nodded, pointed to the stool next to him, and said, "You are not in the front hall to discuss matters, why did you come to the back." I heard that the Turks have already fought to the east of the river? ”
"With Master Pei here, where do we need to take ideas." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said: "The prime minister asked Mr. Pei to be the first auxiliary minister, I used to feel a little funny, Mr. Pei's official reputation in the former Sui is not very good, others are more ministers called it, I didn't expect to know when I saw it today, but the boss is very powerful, one seat calmed down everyone's quarrels, one seat of words settled the entire Guanzhong, the boss is very powerful!" ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" The eldest grandson Wujian suddenly calmed down and said: "San Lang expedition Wang Shichong, we can't distract the prime minister in the rear, you are all the prime minister's ministers, you should cooperate with the boss, after all, the boss is old, you also have to share more." ”
"This is natural, Niangniang, I heard that Concubine Pei is pregnant?" Eldest Sun Wuji thought for a while and asked.
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wujian frowned inadvertently, and finally said: "The divine doctor has confirmed that she is indeed pregnant, and she should have stayed when the prime minister went on the expedition." This is the best, the prime minister's heirs are thin, and the back house should be for him to extend the heirs, so that the stability of the country can be maintained in the future. Big brother, there are some things you can manage, some things don't say it's you, even I can't take care of it, these things are the prime minister's affairs, no matter who inherits the prime minister's Jiangshan Sheji in the future, it will be the prime minister's decision. No one can meddle indiscriminately, otherwise, under the anger of the prime minister, even I won't be able to protect you. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed, he knew that what his sister said made sense, so he quickly nodded and said, "This matter is just casually talked, and please rest assured." ”
"Hey, the prime minister is not Emperor Wen, nor is he Emperor Wu. Everything in the court is under his control. The eldest grandson Wujian glanced at his brother and said with a deep sigh.
"I naturally understand this." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, sighed, and said: "I didn't expect that Cen Wenwen guy actually persuaded Dou Hongxian to let Dou Hongxian send troops, 70,000 troops plus Su Dingfang's 50,000 troops are enough to ensure the safety of Hedong." ”
"Why didn't you go in the first place? I heard that the prime minister let the two of you choose, and Cen Wenwen let you choose first! The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with dissatisfaction and said.
The eldest grandson Wuji's fat face twitched, but he didn't speak, he could say that it was not that he didn't want to go, but that Li Xin didn't believe in himself at all. It can be said that if you start with your front foot, your back foot will be caught back by Li Xin, Taihang Mountain is close to Hebei, as long as you enter Taihang Mountain, there is not much distance from Li Shimin, how can Li Xin rest assured that he will go to Taihang Mountain to find Dou Red Line. He could be ordered by Li Xin to go, but he definitely didn't take the initiative to go. Cen Wenwen let himself choose first, that is, he secretly calculated himself, so that he had nothing to say. The unclear advance prevailed.
"Cen Wenwen, it seems to be modest and cautious, in fact, it will definitely not be such a simple matter, this person is insidious and cunning, and he may be my great enemy in the future." The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head and thought to himself in his heart. In his heart, he even thought that this was a balancing measure for Li Xin, so that while he would assist Li Chengzong, the prince of the king, he would also let Cen Wenwen assist another person, so that the situation of the dynasty would be in a balanced state.
"Since my brother has joined Guanzhong and assisted Saburo, why should Perak Hall live alone?" The eldest grandson Wujian suddenly said: "The younger sister thinks that if the elder brother hands over the Perak Hall, San Lang will definitely trust the elder brother very much, what does the elder brother think?" ”
"Perak Hall is the foundation of Chengzong's self-protection in the future, sister, if you don't think about you and me, don't you think about Chengzong?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a slight dissatisfaction. His Thunderbolt Hall has been preserved until now, the eldest grandson Wuji is not only because of himself, but also because of Li Chengzong, people from intelligence backgrounds know the role of intelligence better, Li Chengzong needs an intelligence in the future, so the eldest grandson Wuji needs to keep it. Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson Wujian actually agreed to hand over the Perak Hall, and when he died, would he still have the opportunity to see the eldest grandson?
"You know, the prime minister won't understand." The eldest grandson Wujian sighed and said, "The existence of the Thunderbolt Hall has broken the balance, and such a thing is not something that a courtier can have. ”
"But!" The eldest grandson, Wuji, is waiting to be asked.
"Brother, do you know the Pei family's Mingxin Hall?" The eldest grandson Wujian said in a low voice: "The Pei family has already given them to the prime minister, otherwise, do you think that the Pei family is in addition to Pei Shiju as the first assistant, and Pei Renji can be the general of Tongguan and protect Guanzhong?" Pei Yuanqing can be the vanguard of the army, and the Pei family can be the grace of one door? The prime minister can allow many things, but he will never allow anyone to challenge his authority, no one else, and neither can you. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed, in fact, in today's family, each family has its own sources, these organizations are big or small, after all, this is a money-burning industry, not someone can support it, the eldest grandson's Thunderbolt Hall and the Pei family's Mingxin Hall are an exception, they are all funded by the imperial court, I didn't expect that Pei Shiju actually gave his intelligence agency to Li Xin, which is really a big deal. The eldest grandson Wuji had to admire. (To be continued......)
