"The boss really has a good idea, let me marry that Ashina Yun?" In the imperial study, Li Xin pointed to Pei Shiju who was sitting on the brocade stool and said, "You don't have enough women who hate me, right?" ”

"The spirit of the emperor's dragon and horse, what is it to have a few more women, just to be able to extend the heirs for the royal family!" Pei Shiju patted his ass and said.

"Okay, Master Pei, I believe that you are a close friend for a reason, and I would like to hear your opinion." Li Xin stopped the other party and said. Pei Shiju, an old fox, has his own reasons for everything he does, and the same is true for this affinity, without a little idea, it is impossible.

"Since the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, there have been many things about harmony, what does the emperor think of harmony?" Pei Shiju asked.

"Although it has brought a lot of time for the Central Plains to accumulate strength, the grassland people will still invade the Central Plains every year, but it is just a matter of scale, and besides, isn't it a shame that the men of the Central Plains actually defeated the enemy by selling the breasts of the Central Plains women? In my Datang, I will never get along. Li Xin said with a cold snort.

This has to be said to be a strange thing, among the dynasties, the Song Dynasty is recognized as a relatively weak dynasty, facing the pressure from the north or the west is particularly great, but in the end of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a harmony, but the Han and Tang dynasties in front of them have repeatedly made peace. It's a strange thing to have to say.

"Does the emperor think that the people of the Central Plains can unify the grassland and completely take the grassland as their own?" Pei Shiju asked again.

Li Xin thought about it, but still shook his head, this situation will only appear in later generations, the transportation is developed, the communication is extremely convenient, and every move on the grassland is under the monitoring of the central government, so that the grassland can be deterred and the grassland will not dare to move. But not now. Subject to many conditions. Even if Li Xin wanted to completely unify the grassland and achieve great unification, Li Xin also knew that this was an unlikely thing.

"If the emperor marries the princess of the grassland, after giving birth to the prince, he will seal the prince on the grassland, and then immigrate, and rule the grassland with the prince, no matter how the vicissitudes of the sea change in the future, decades later. The people on the grassland can only think of themselves as part of the Central Plains, and even if there is any change, it is an internal matter of the royal family. What does the emperor think? Pei Shiju said.

"Partition?" Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know when the division originated, but after the Zhou Dynasty, few people mentioned the division, and the facts also proved that the division was a wrong idea, and the final result. Or the kings are powerful and threaten the center.

"The minister said that they were all just dividing the grassland." Pei Shiju hurriedly explained: "Only the grassland is divided, not the Central Plains." ”

"Grassland Divide?" After Li Xin listened, he nodded. said: "I still have to think about this matter. If I marry this Ashina Yun, then what should Ashina do best? ”

"Your Majesty, if he is obedient, it will naturally be a good thing. If he is disobedient, the minister thinks that if the emperor doesn't get rid of him, those people in the grassland will get rid of him. Although Lao Chen had never seen this guy, he had also heard that this man was irritable and greedy, and in the grassland, such a person would not live long, or the enemy would kill him, or his subordinates would kill him. ”

Li Xin did not speak, the situation on the grassland is different from that of the Central Plains, the competition for the throne of the grassland is more bloody and cruel, Ashina Lili may ascend to the throne of Khan in the future, but what Ashina Lili does will definitely cause opposition from the people on the grassland.

"What's the name of the person who followed Ashina Lili this time?" Li Xin hesitated for a while and asked.

"Ashina mud, this person is a general, and he is the assistant left by the Khan of Tongye Hu to Ashina." Pei Shiju hurriedly said: "He himself has a small tribe, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, over the years, he has been very good to come to the Yehu Khan, although he is young, but the soldiers and horses under his command have increased a lot." ”

"Where is he now? Are you really with Ashinabu? Li Xin asked.

"It should be together." Pei Shiju nodded and said: "However, the old minister has seen that Ashina Buzhen before, this person and the old minister think that he is also ambitious, and when the Tongye Hu Khan is there, he may be able to suppress it, but now it is not necessarily, the old minister thinks that this person may have other thoughts." ”

"Jieli Khan's soldiers and horses have been killed, but this Ashina Buzhen still thinks about his own benefits, such a person is nothing. Even if he is not defeated by Jieli Khan, he will be defeated by me in the end. Li Xin said indifferently.

"Lao Chen is worried that Ashina's soldiers and horses will move towards the Western Regions. He would collude with the Jieli Khan to occupy the Western Regions, and the Jieli Khan believed that it would be best to divide the Western Turks and have one less enemy. Moreover, I, the Tang Dynasty, are eyeing the Western Regions, if Ash Nabu is really moved to the Western Regions, occupy the Western Regions, and even provoke a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, Jieli Khan will definitely be happy to see it. Pei Shiju analyzed carefully.

"And what do you mean?" Li Xin looked at Pei Shiju and asked.

"The emperor married Ashina Yun, and then sent a part of the soldiers and horses to the Western Regions under the banner of assisting Ashina Force, I believe that among the Turkic people, there are still people who support Ashina Force, let them fight each other, and can also contain Jieli Khan. In this way, we can also control the war within a certain range, and it is not considered to be against the decision of the Wude Temple. Pei Shiju still persuaded.

"It seems that I still want Master Pei, and I'm afraid this Ashina will need to stay for a while." Li Xin said with a smile: "Okay, according to what the boss said, order the Ministry of Rites to go to Ashina Juli to propose marriage, and then let him go back to the grassland, I will support him with some grain, grass and equipment, but the Western Regions must be handed over to the Tang Dynasty, which is the reward for my troops." ”

"Your Majesty." Pei Shiju hurriedly said.

"Well, Ashina Yun will hand over a boss there, and I have to ask the boss to run away." Li Xin patted Pei Shiju's veteran hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers are old, and their energy is a little bad in person, since Xiao Yu and Master Xiao left in the Wude Palace, the major events have been concentrated in the hands of a few of us, and the ministers are very tired, and I also ask the emperor to choose another minister to enter the Wude Hall to share some government affairs for the ministers." Pei Shiju stood up and arched his hand and said.

"Is there a candidate for the boss?" Li Xin looked at Pei Shiju, but saw that Pei Shiju was full of silver hair, although his face was still a little flushed, but what he couldn't hide in his eyes was tiredness, and he sighed in his heart, Pei Shiju has followed him for many years, working hard and resentful, assisting himself, although there are some small calculations in his heart, but in general, there is no problem. Now this guy is still old.

"Hao Ming, the secretary of the military department, can do it." Pei Shiju hesitated for a while and said.

"Hao Ying is good at military strategy, and he can enter the Wuying Hall as a scholar, but the Wude Hall is still not good." Li Xin thought for a while and said.

"Then let Wei Yuan become a success." Pei Shiju thought about it again and said, "It's been three or four months, and it's time for Wei Yuancheng to come back." The old minister thought that Wei Yuancheng could. ”

"Anything else?" Li Xin asked again.

"But there is a person, but I don't know if the emperor dares to use it?" Pei Shiju glanced at Li Xin and said: "There is a person who once served Emperor Wu with Yu Shiji, and later defected to Li Yuan, but he was not reused, and was driven over by Pei Lian, and now he is wandering in Chang'an City. ”

"Who is it?" Li Xin asked in surprise.

"Feng Lun Feng Deyi. I don't know if the emperor has heard of it. Pei Shiju said in a low voice.

"Is that him? He seems to be old, too! Li Xin thought of this person, his face was a little worse, this Feng Deyi also left some reputation in history, but this person is a little older, look at Li Xin's court, the old and the young are divided in half, Li Xin hopes that most of his subordinates are young people, at least they must keep up with their own rhythm.

"This?" Pei Shiju hesitated for a while, but he didn't speak, in fact, he also discovered this problem, in the Wude Palace, only he was in his seventies, and the others were all people in their thirties and forties, these people were full of energy, but they could keep up with Li Xin's rhythm, and deal with the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, Du Ruhui and others are rare talents who can handle state affairs with ease, and even Pei Shiju knows that because he has won Li Xin's trust, he will stay in office to this day.

"Then let Wei Yuan become it!" Li Xin waved his hand and said, "I heard that the boss has a son who has come to Chang'an recently?" ”

"Emperor Lao is worried about the incompetence of the dog, which makes the world laugh." Pei Shiju smiled bitterly. He knows how capable his son is, he is gentle and elegant, and he doesn't have his own scheming appearance at all.

"The old man has followed me until now, it has been almost ten years, and he has made outstanding contributions, and he should have been crowned king, but those who are not from the Li and Yang clans cannot be crowned kings, so it is better to add Linglang! Named him Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, what does the boss think? Li Xin thought for a while and said.

"The old minister has thanked His Majesty for his grace." Rao Pei Shiju is old and cunning, and he was also moved by Li Xin's reward at this time. Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Pei family has been deeply favored by the emperor, Pei Renji and Pei Yuanqing plus themselves, they are the princes of the three kingdoms of the Pei family, and among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no family that can compare with themselves. Now that he has rewarded his son, this is already a blessing from heaven.

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. When others didn't look down on me Li Xin, I married Fu'er to me, so that I could gain a foothold in the northwest and enter Guanzhong. Li Xin said with relief. (To be continued......)
