"You were also the first to enter the imperial examination, and there were many discussions about you in the court, some people said that you should not be promoted too early when you are young, and some people say that you should be rewarded for your young heroes."

Listening to His Majesty's words, Pei Xingjian frowned nervously, and there was already fine sweat in his hands.

Li Shimin slowly stood up, took two steps back and forth, and raised his head again: "Although you are a member of the imperial examination, but Zhang Yang arranged for you to go to the Anxi Protectorate, you govern the Western Regions well, but you can break the big cannibalism, do you think I should give you a civilian official, or give you a position in the army?" ”

This is the first time Pei Xingjian has faced Tian Khan, and he saluted again: "The ministers are at the mercy of His Majesty's arrangement." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You are still young, I can't give you too high a position, Chang'an Ling has been vacant for a long time, and this Chang'an City also needs a vigorous and capable young man like you to watch, what do you think?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your military achievements are outstanding, I can't treat you poorly because you are young, give you a silver fish bag, give you the right to listen to the government, and then enter the Lingyan Pavilion when you reach the age of thirty."

After that, a few little eunuchs stepped forward with boxes one by one, on which were the new official uniforms and official seals, as well as the silverfish bag, and the three wills.

Pei Xingjian saluted again.

Tian Khan's words continued, "As for Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, I will arrange a place for them in the army, so you can relax." ”

Pei Xingjian's expression was awe-inspiring, and he was another salute.

Li Shimin changed to a more comfortable sitting posture and said, "Let's talk about how you fought off the big cannibal." ”

Now His Majesty is middle-aged, and he has lost the vigor of the past, but he just wants to hear about the march and battle.

Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance stood in the Xingqing Hall for a long time, but Guanzhong was still cold, colder than Persia.

The two of them were so cold that their noses were watery, and they kept swinging.

Finally Pei Xingjian came out, and the two of them stepped forward to ask, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

Pei Xingjian wiped the sweat from his palms with the hem of his clothes, "When a certain family arrives in front of His Majesty, I don't remember what I said." ”

The first time he saw Tian Khan, Pei Xingjian was very nervous, especially His Majesty's occasional aura was unconsciously impressive, no wonder all the heroes in the world had to work hard for Tian Khan.

Wang Gonggong handed over two wills, "Wang Xuance will join the army guard as the school officer, Xue Rengui will enter the Zuo Qianniu Wei as the left captain, the two can take office on a day to take office, and they can rest for a few more days when they return to Chang'an City." ”

The two thanked them again and again, His Majesty's reward came down, and Xue Rengui also had an official position in the army.

Pei Xingjian walked all the way, and said: "Brother Xue, don't look at this as just a position of Zuo Du Lieutenant, since the Tang Dynasty restructured the Zhichong Mansion, except for the general below the Zhichong Mansion, he is the deputy general, and under the deputy general is the left and right small captains, who can manage thousands of generals." ”

Wang Xuance held the will in his hand and looked heartless, and said with a smile: "In the future, we will all serve in Chang'an City, and I am afraid that we will not have to go out to fight for many years." ”

Xue Rengui scratched his head innocently, since His Majesty had made an order, he could no longer have any worries.

As soon as he walked out of the Suzaku Gate, Wang Xuance said goodbye and left first.

"Is this General Wang Xuance good friends in Chang'an City?"

Hearing a childish word, Pei Xingjian looked down and saw an eleven-year-old boy.

I didn't ask much, just kept walking, only to find that this kid had been following me.

Pei Xingjian's footsteps stopped, his footsteps also stopped, and he couldn't help asking, "Boy, what are you doing with a certain family?" ”

Di Renjie whispered: "The kid was entrusted by Xu Shilang to take Pei Duhu and General Xue to the new mansion to live in, and it has been arranged. ”

Pei Xingjian said in a deep voice: "Since Xu Shilang has already made arrangements, why don't you say it clearly, and you still have to follow all the way?" ”

Hearing this, Di Renjie explained: "The kid likes to observe, and it's very interesting to watch the pace of the two. ”

As soon as he came back to his senses, Di Renjie said again: "Please come with the boy, the house is in Dongshi." ”

Xue Rengui was a little hesitant, and seeing that Pei Xingjian had already taken a step, he had no choice but to follow.

Di Renjie explained while walking: "This East Market of Chang'an City is expensive, and it takes a lot of silver to buy one or two mansions, Xu Shilang can't take out so much silver, as for who made these silver coins, the two of them should understand in their hearts." ”

Pei Xingjian asked, "Lishan? ”

Di Renjie smiled without words, and led the two of them to a mansion, which was located at the downtown entrance of the East Market.

The three or five attendants saluted and said, "I've seen Pei Gongzi." ”

Seeing this, Di Renjie, the little fat man, smiled awkwardly, "These people say that they are the old people of Brother Pei's hometown, and it is not easy for the kid to settle them, after all, it is your family matter, and please make your own decision by Brother Pei." ”

Pei Xingjian looked at the faces that were about to cry, nodded and said, "They are indeed old people from a certain family in Hedong. ”

Hearing this, all the subordinates cried, and they led Pei Xingjian into the house and packed his luggage for him.

Di Renjie came to a warehouse, there was a big lock in the warehouse, he took out a key and opened the lock while saying: "This is a KitKat lock made by Lishan, and each lock has a unique key. ”

Anyway, as soon as the door opened, gold rolled down.

Pei Xingjian recognized this gold, this is the gold that was sent to Lishan in Persia, and looking at the amount of these golds, Lishan sent them all.

I couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the one from Lishan in my heart, and I actually sent it back untouched.

The house looks like it has been rebuilt, and it was prepared in advance?

Then the gold has been kept in the treasury for a long time.

Di Renjie closed the door of the treasury again, handed the key to Pei Xingjian, and said with emotion: "It's really good, Brother Pei has never worried about spending money in his life." ”

From the beginning, Pei Duhu has changed his words to Brother Pei, and this fat boy is obviously showing his goodwill.

Di Renjie said again: "Brother Xue, your house is on the other side of the street, and the kid will lead you there." ”

"No need, you tell the location of a certain family, and a certain family will go by itself."

"Oh." Di Renjie said with a smile: "In the second room facing the street, the vermilion gate is Brother Xue's house. ”

Pei Xingjian said in a low voice: "You are a disciple of Lishan? ”

"The kid's talent is not looked down on by Lishan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that a person like me can't become a disciple of Lishan."

"Look at your words and deeds, you are sensible and smart."

"The disciples of Lishan are extremely talented, and even the students of Guozijian are ashamed of themselves, some people say that the Hou of Lishan County has mastered the knowledge of immortals, and his knowledge runs through heaven and earth."

Di Renjie sighed a little disappointed, "The person who can become a disciple of Lishan is either an immortal family or a heavenly family." ”

Pei Xingjian smiled heartily, "Okay! ”

"Why is Brother Pei happy?" Di Renjie's chubby face frowned and asked, "Could it be ......?"

Xue Rengui has gone to find his new home.

Pei Xingjian sat down freely, raised his head and said, "I won't tell you, Pei is already a disciple of Lishan." ”

The atmosphere was quiet for a long time, Di Renjie stretched his neck, and slowly said in disbelief: "Huh? ”

"Ahem." Coughing again, Pei Xingjian added: "It's just an outer disciple, and you can't enter Lishan." ”

"Lishan still has this rule? Why did His Royal Highness King Jin never say it? ”

"Are you willing to worship Pei as a disciple?"

"Wait." Di Renjie snapped his fingers as if he was calculating his seniority, and after hesitating for a long time, he shook his head vigorously, "The kid almost fell for Brother Pei's strategy, it seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, the kid said goodbye." ”

Pei Xingjian wanted to reach out and grab him, but this kid ran away quickly, and he had already run out in the blink of an eye.

"The little boy can be regarded as coming back safely, the villain has not eaten well and slept well in recent years." The attendant back then was crying like a man at the moment.

Pei Xingjian took a bowl of tea and drank it without a sip, "You want to plan a family affair for a certain family?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare."

The squire stepped back.

Pei Xingjian said again: "Is it an elder? A certain family is over nineteen years old, so there is no need to worry about those elders for marriage. ”

The waiter whispered: "Could it be that the little boy wants to do something rebellious?" ”

"What a big rebellion! A certain family said that if you don't need it, you don't need it. ”

"Sure enough, I've been following the Hu people outside the gate for a long time, and it's broken! Broken! The little boy learned badly with them. ”

"Less nonsense." Pei Xingjian said impatiently: "Bring food, a certain family is hungry, and bring the best food in Chang'an City." ”

Xue Rengui walked into this new mansion, he and his wife Liu pushed the door together, and the two of them were a little frightened when they saw that this house belonged to them.

It wasn't until the title deed was really in my hands that I knew that all this was not a dream.

This courtyard is much larger than Pei Xingjian, and in Chang'an City, that is, the mansion of the magnates of the state is larger than here.

Pei Xingjian slept the most down-to-earth and slept until noon the next day.

Today, Pei Xingjian walked on the streets of Chang'an City, "Sure enough, as Xu Jingzong said, this Chang'an City has changed so much, I can't see it in a day, and I can't see it in a day." ”

"The villain heard that many powerful people want to buy a piece of land in Qujiangchi recently, it is said that it was given by the emperor to Her Royal Highness the princess of Lishan, but now the court plans to buy it back and build a new market in Qujiangchi."

"The little boy can buy a piece of land, and it will also be part of the family business in the future."

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said: "A certain family doesn't understand the way of businessmen, I'm afraid that they will suffer losses, and they have to ask the kid named Di Renjie about this matter." ”

"Why did the little boy ask a child?"

Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "This kid, his future achievements must be very good." ”

"How so?"

"He is a good friend of King Jin, a disciple of Lishan."

"It's just a friend, and it has nothing to do with it, the villain arranged for someone to inquire, Di Renjie is Di Zhixun's son, although the Di family is also a prestigious family, but compared with our Hedong Pei family, it is still not as prominent as the little son's family background."

"It has nothing to do with family background, but everyone who has a connection with Lishan is rich and rich."

"The little boy also said that he was an outer disciple of Lishan."

"That's natural, a certain family is naturally an outer disciple of Lishan, if there is no master of Lishan, where can a certain family pacify the Western Turks and go out to help Persia?"

The attendant couldn't refute for a while, and said, "The words of the little boy are not unreasonable. ”

The fourteenth year of Zhenguan, January.

Because of the rest of the court, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance did not enter the Taiji Hall when they came back, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally go outside the city to greet him, and also gave enough courtesy.

This month, it snowed heavily again in Guanzhong.

Tubo sent an urgent report, and Tubo's little Zampu had another serious illness, but fortunately, he had a thrilling pass, but the emergency report said that this little Zampu's physical foundation was even worse, and it was easy to die early in the future.

Gongri Gongzan began to look for the next Zampu of Tubo, but the heirs of Zampu to the generation of Gongri Gongzan have only one wife who is still pregnant, which means that the next Zampu of Tubo is a fetus in a woman's womb.

It is also thanks to the fact that Songtsen Gampo is still alive, otherwise the foundation of Tibet may be shaken again.

On the side of the Weishui River outside Lishan Village, Yuan Tiangang said in a low voice: "Gongri Gongzan is too ruthless and narrow-minded, and people like him will not live long." ”

Xiao Qingqing was puzzled: "Daoist Yuan thinks that little Zampu can live for a few years?" ”

Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and pondered.

Xiao Qingqing said again: "I can't calculate it, if Daoist Yuan can calculate it, this world will be really chaotic." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang was amused by Xiao Qingqing's words, "Lao Dao is not as good as a child, you live transparently." ”

She picked up a stone and threw it into the water, "My father said that Tubo Zampu is not important, Tubo is important, and the Zampu line will be cut off sooner or later." ”

"That's a shame."

"Daoist Yuan, you are wrong again." Xiao Qingqing continued: "Daddy said that many things in this world are coming with the general trend of the times, if Lishan really becomes an immortal mountain, it is because people need an immortal. ”

Yuan Tiangang asked rhetorically: "Why do people need an immortal, but he is not an immortal. ”

"Because this is the choice of the world, it is also the choice of the world that the family will collapse, just like more and more people are bathing with soap now, cheap soap enters thousands of households, and no one will worry about the unsightly pancreas."

"The people on Lishan have become immortals, and they are people's sustenance for beauty, Lishan is the beauty in the mortal world, and the world needs this beauty, even if the father is only a mortal fetus, the father will be on fire and commit old problems."

"Lishan can make firearms to help Tian Khan open up the frontier, and Lishan can also benefit Guanzhong, benefit Sheji, and make Guanzhong rich, this is the ideal of my father, and it is also the ideal of tens of millions of people, so Lishan has become a fairy mountain, so when the Zampu of Tubo is cut off is the choice of the Tubo people, then what's the pity?"

Xiao Qingqing saluted slightly, and said playfully: "The little girl has not learned much, which makes Yuan Daochang smile." ”

The cold wind blew the old Taoist robe and hunted, he stroked his beard and said slowly: "When the old Taoist asked questions, he was tricked by you, thinking about it, it turns out that Zhang Yang is not an immortal, and his children are just like that, you are all hindering it." ”

"Oops, Daoist Yuan finally saw through it." Xiao Qingqing put on a surprised look.

Yuan Tiangang was angry and funny, and he couldn't lose his temper with this girl, but was infected by her smile.

"The little girl has been doing a lot of schoolwork recently, and I'm afraid I can't learn art from the Taoist."

"That's it." Yuan Tiangang compromised, he sat down and whispered, "Can Lishan open a Taoist temple?" ”

Xiao Qingqing replied: "No." ”
