Chapter 411: Paperweight

"Today, Du Ruhui said that he wanted to seize Bashu, the terrain of Bashu is complicated, and he originally wanted to personally lead the army to go on the expedition, but Guanzhong is complicated, if I leave, I am afraid that those families in Guanlong will make trouble." Li Xin hesitated for a while and sighed.

"San Lang doesn't believe in General Li Jing?" The eldest grandson thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's not that I'm worried about Brother Jing, it's just that the relationship between Bashu and Shu is heavy, and there are many different races, and if I want to completely pacify Bashu, Brother Jing is still a little worried." Li Xin shook his head and said.

"There are so many things in the world, although San Lang is powerful, but how can one person deal with so much? The only thing is to delegate power, the concubine has seen Li Jing, and General Li is definitely not the kind of person who betrays. The eldest grandson Wujian said: "If San Lang is worried, he can send a civil official to go, although it is not to contain Li Xin, but to govern the local affairs." ”

"You have to send an honest and steady man." Li Xin nodded and said, "How is Pei Shiju?" ”

The eldest grandson glared at Li Xin angrily, and she chuckled: "If Master Pei goes out, I'm afraid the Guanzhong family will have other opinions." Mr. Pei has no merit and distress over the years, but the concubine has heard about the matter of some time ago, the matter of the land in Guanzhong, in fact, this matter is no wonder Mr. Pei, although he thinks about the Pei family, but his heart is on San Lang's side, otherwise, he would not have followed San Lang before. ”

"Hey, there are still too few people under him." Li Xin shook his head, what the eldest grandson Wujian said was not bad at all, Pei Shiju is also a good helper no matter what, staying in the court can deter the Guan Long family, if Pei Shiju is released, I am afraid that the Guan Long family will also stir up the wind and rain in secret. This is not good news for Li Xin.

"Xiao Yu is very good. But I just don't know if Saburo dares to use it. The eldest grandson Wujian said in a low voice: "This person is resolute and strong, although he is in Chang'an, he also knows that Xiao Yu has done a good job in Xihe over the years. The emperor wanted to use it, but unfortunately, the emperor was too late. ”

"Xiao Yu, go back and take a look." Li Xin nodded, thought for a while, and said to Duan Qi in the distance: "Duan Qi, send the paperweight on my bookcase to Master Pei's mansion." ”

"Yes." Duan Qi's face was stunned, and he quickly turned around and left, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face when the eldest grandson Wujian heard this. Such Li Xin is the true path of the King of God. Employing people is not about loyalty, but about whether they can do it. Pei Shiju is undoubtedly a capable minister.

"Xiao Yu is also a member of the Xiao family, and he is the younger brother of Empress Xiao, San Lang can let Nanyang go to him gradually." The eldest grandson Wujian said with relief: "If San Lang really wants to use Xiao Yu, you can go to greet him in person." ”

"Well, I'll go to Weihe tomorrow to meet him." Li Xin nodded, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "What I, Li Xin, am most proud of is not to become the king of Tang and occupy Guanzhong. It's about owning you. ”

Saburo laughed. The eldest grandson's face was slightly red. But it made Li Xin laugh, and he couldn't help but hold the eldest grandson Wujian in his arms. Such a relationship between husband and wife is rare.

Pei Mansion, the population is still very small, although it is Wenxi's big clan. But there are very few Pei Shiju together, Pei Shiju is already very old, but he is not old and is always active in the political arena. But. In the past few days, Pei Shiju has felt Li Xin's alienation, and he can only sigh. He knew why Li Xin was alienating him. In the final analysis, it is Li Xin's distrust of the family.

"Hey!" Pei Shiju looked at the recital in front of him, and he was about to write to Li Xin and tell the old man to return to his hometown. He must do this, and only in this way can Pei Fu gain a firm foothold in the palace, so that Li Xin can remember his past achievements, and put this guilt on Pei Fu, Pei Shiju's vision is very long-term, not now, then put it in the future.

"My lord, General Duan is here." Outside the door, the old man Pei Ren whispered outside.

"Duan Qi?" Pei Shiju was stunned when he heard this, only Duan Qi was known as General Duan in the court, although Duan Qi's father Duan Kuan was also in Chang'an, but he was already at home, he stood up and greeted him outside, although Duan Qi's official position was not high, but no one in the court dared to underestimate him, he was a cronie of Li Xin's cronies.

"Master Pei, how dare you be greeted by the boss." Duan Qi saw Pei Shiju come out to greet him, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he arched his hand and said, "The prince asked the last general to give this thing to the boss." Duan Qi took a gift box from a personal soldier behind him and held it to Pei Shiju with both hands.

Pei Shiju was stunned when he heard this, and quickly stretched out his hand to take it, his face was suspicious, and when he was about to ask, he saw that Duan Qi had already disappeared in front of him on a war horse. Pei Shiju looked down at the gift box in his hand, the appearance of the gift box was very ordinary, but it was a little heavy, he opened it curiously, but revealed a white jade paperweight.

"Paperweight?" Pei Shiju was surprised in his heart, and soon showed a smile, and finally laughed, bowed in the direction of Wude Palace, and then took the paperweight into the mansion, but the smile on his face was even stronger, and when he entered the study, he looked at the twists and turns on a few cases, and threw them aside without thinking about it. The old treacherous and cunning like Pei Shiju, how can he not know the meaning of this paperweight.

Li Xin didn't know what Pei Shiju was thinking now, but went to the palace where Princess Nanyang lived, Princess Nanyang's lower abdomen was slightly raised, and she was lying in Li Xin's arms, Princess Nanyang, who was already pregnant, was much plump, and her face also showed a maternal glow, she and Yu Wenshi had never given birth to a child, this was her first pregnancy, and she also seemed sleepy on weekdays.

"Xiao Yu is coming back tomorrow, you and I will go to meet him." Li Xin patted Princess Nanyang's fragrant shoulder and said.

"Okay." Princess Nanyang said without thinking: "Uncle loves me the most, what's the matter?" Saburo wants to use him? ”

Li Xin nodded and said: "I am ready to let Li Jing conquer Bashu, but the shape of Bashu is complicated, the local heroes and barbarians collude with each other, it is easy for the imperial court to seize Bashu in terms of military affairs, but the most difficult thing is to govern Bashu, Xiao Yu has rich experience in governance, not only has he stayed in the imperial court, but he is also good in Xihe, such an experienced official, I want to use it greatly, but you also know that Xiao Yu doesn't look down on me, the Tang King, so I need you to go with me." ”

"San Lang is really cunning, if my uncle knew about it, he would definitely prefer to stay in Xihe." Princess Nanyang laughed, suddenly thought of something, phoenix eyes widened, and said: "By the way, San Lang, you can take Yuerong with you, what my uncle likes more is Yuerong." ”

"Ahem. Is this okay? Li Xin said with some embarrassment.

"As long as you open your mouth, Yue Rong will definitely be willing." Princess Nanyang showed a smile and quipped: "San Lang, what are you going to do with Yuerong!" People have come all the way to Guanzhong to find you. ”

"What do you think?" Li Xin couldn't bear it anymore.

"San Lang, find a good day and an auspicious day, and bring Yuerong in! Shall we serve you as sisters? Princess Nanyang sighed: "My father has died, the queen mother is still far away, Yuerong lives alone in the princess's mansion, lonely and lonely, she is old, and there is no one around, Nanyang is very worried about her, it is better to let her enter the palace, and we sisters also have a care together." What do you think? ”

"This? Let's talk about it later! Li Xin's face was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Princess Nanyang to come up with this idea, I have to say, this is a very tempting idea. It's just that Li Xin didn't agree, just hugged Princess Nanyang and said: "After a while, I may have to go out once to inspect the situation in various parts of Guanzhong, I'm afraid it will be a few months as soon as I come out, if I come back late, I'm afraid the child will have been born at that time." Li Xin felt very sorry, this was because of the lack of talent around him, and most of the time, he did it himself. If you are like Li Yuan, there are countless talents in the family, and there are some things that need to be done by yourself, just let the relatives around you take action. I thought it was to go to Bashu, and in history, Li Jing only went as a deputy general. Now it is necessary for Li Xin to go separately from the civil and military forces, and this is the gap.

Early the next morning, Li Xin went to the Wei River to wait under the leadership of Duan Qi and Wei Chigong, and on the carriage, Princess Nanyang and Princess Yuerong talked very happily on the road, and Princess Yuerong looked at Li Xin not far away with disdainful eyes, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a trace of strange feelings.

"Prime Minister, Lord Xiao Yu still has half an hour to get to the edge of Weishui." Duan Qi strode over.

"You are waiting from afar now, and today the lonely king will greet his uncle with a family gift." Li Xin waved his hand, Xiao Yu was upright, but he was extremely polite, and he advocated weekly etiquette in every qiē behavior. With a person like this, if Li Xin came as the King of Tang, I am afraid that Xiao Yu would not even dump himself, after all, Xiao Yu is a person who even Yang Guang dares to refute.

"San Lang, is my uncle here?" Princess Nanyang got out of the carriage with the support of Princess Yuerong, and Princess Yuerong's little face was red with shame, and she didn't know what Princess Nanyang told her, so she didn't even dare to look at Li Xin.

"It's coming." Li Xin also supported Princess Nanyang and said with a smile: "When I saw Lord Xiao for the first time, Lord Xiao didn't give me face. Make me sarcastic. ”

"That's deserved, no wonder you brought our sisters here, I'm afraid you don't want your uncle to mock you!" Princess Yuerong smiled dumbly when she heard this, and said, "Then you have to talk to our sisters well, otherwise we won't help you speak." ”

"Moonlight." Princess Nanyang glanced at Princess Yuerong, as Li Xin's status became higher and higher, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that only Yuerong would speak to Li Xin like this, and the others, even Li Jing, also tactfully persuaded for a while.

"Okay, the king will definitely thank you for his life." Li Xin didn't care, nodded and said. (To be continued......)
