Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 749 Grievance
Chang'an, Pei Mansion.

The one who came back first was the expressionless Pei Shiju. The elderly patriarch remained silent as usual, which did not surprise the servants, but then a strange atmosphere spread, because Pei Shuying drove her horse back to the house in fear, not waiting The horse stopped and jumped off, and the eager look surprised the porter.

But the strangest thing was the joyful and quite joyful expression on the face of Li Dewu, the son-in-law of Chang'an County who came back.

For Li Dewu, who no longer counts on you, what he most wants to see is how Pei Shiju will be defeated by Li Shan... Although it has happened many times, Li Dewu never tires of it.

Instead of going to Tongzhou, Li Dewu went to Longzhou. When Li Dewu heard the news, he immediately thought of the elder brother who was still gilded in Longzhou.

Tsk tsk, I'm afraid my father-in-law is going to trouble Li Shan again, but now it's all right, he went straight to Longzhou!
"Father-in-law." Li Dewu walked all the way into the main room, not even pretending to salute, and said with a smile: "Let Xuanji go back to Beijing quickly, or you won't be able to send black hair for nothing..."

The so-called white-haired people send black-haired people, there is no such sentence in this era. After the Cangtouhe victory last year, when the Tang army returned to the army, Li Shan mentioned this sentence when paying homage to the fallen soldiers in Guji Town... Later, Wei Zheng said in the memorial It was mentioned that this spread in Chang'an.

Pei Shuying stared at her husband fiercely, the couple has completely torn apart their faces now... What makes people feel emotional is that the story of this reunion is still mentioned from time to time in Chang'an.

"Papa." Pei Shiju lightly clapped his hands, and not long after, two servants appeared outside the door.

The meaning is obvious, if you don't get out, then people will throw you out... Li Dewu sneered a few times and turned around to leave. If he said that he abandoned his wife and son in order to revive his family, and desperately climbed up, now that is It's completely broken.

If Pei Shiju wanted to do something to his son-in-law, he should have done it a long time ago, and he hasn't done anything yet... Li Dewu knew that Pei Shiju would not do anything to him, so he was very proud of the hard work that made Pei Shuying give birth had a son.

As for the official career, Li Dewu has long given up hope.

Now that Li Shan is fighting Pei Shiju, no matter who wins or loses, Li Dewu will not get any benefits after all, but he will be able to live safely after all... The father-son relationship between myself and Li Shan is at least Yuwen Shiji and Cui Xin. , Princess Pingyang knew it, and Li Shan would not dare to kill his father no matter what.

After a moment of silence in the room, Pei Shuying with a pale face asked in a low voice, "Do you know the inside story, brother?"

Pei Shiju shook his head. The only son, Pei Xuanji, was of mediocre talent. He was not outstanding in both civil and martial arts, and his temperament was very detached. Therefore, Pei Shiju never allowed his son to be an official in troubled times. He was not allowed to be an official until the Tang Dynasty basically determined to rule the world. , and now serves as a military officer in Longzhou.

Pei Xuanji has a violent temper, but he doesn't have any tricks. How can he compare with Li Huairen who has become famous all over the world in just a few years... Naturally, Pei Shiju dare not tell his only son the inside story.

This is also one of the reasons why Pei Shiju refused to let Li Shan go. His son is far from Li Shan's opponent. Even if he was born in the Wenxi Pei family, even if he may have Pei Ji's protection, after his death, Li Shan will definitely find a chance. It is logical for the son to fall down and never get up again, and it is very likely that he will die in a fight.

"Why don't you let the elder brother go back to Beijing?"

"Even if you want to be transferred or return to the court, at least you have to wait until March next year." Pei Shiju said indifferently: "If you abandon your post and return to the capital, I'm afraid Da Lang will not agree."

Local officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties generally had full ranks for four years. They were evaluated by the Ministry of Officials and were either transferred or promoted. Temporary transfers required passing the test of the Ministry of Education, and probably Li Yuan's nod...for example, Li Shan was appointed Acting governor Shi returned to court within a year, which was a special case.

Moreover, Pei Xuanji finally became an official in his 40s, so how could he be willing to abandon his job and return to Beijing for no reason?
Pei Shuying glanced at her father. In fact, there is a solution that is feasible. After all, a person who is almost 80 years old, if the reason for his father's illness...but as a child, this kind of thing cannot be brought up.

Pei Shiju said softly: "It's okay, even if he goes to Longzhou, he won't act rashly."

In this regard, Pei Shiju was sure. Li Shan was a man who was thoughtful and cautious, so how could he do anything to Pei Xuanji when there was no winner.

Pei Shuying hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Father mentioned last year... this time..."

Last year, after Li Shan led the army to defeat the Turks three times, Pei Shiju told his daughter that it was impossible to deal with the county king by normal means. For the next period of time, Li Shan needs to be calm and cautious. act.

Pei Shuying's words were obviously asking about the origin of this incident. Although she was hostile, she was very clear about one thing. From the beginning to the end, every time her father and Li Dewu took the initiative, the legendary figure just dealt with it passively. the result of……

Li Shan is now canonized as the king of the county and served as Secretary of Agriculture, how could he suddenly go to Longzhou in such a good manner? It is likely that his father has done something to anger the other party.

Pei Shiju shook his head slightly, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Today in Liangyi Hall, Pei Shiju couldn't control his trembling hands, how he didn't know, this was Li Shan's blatant threat.

In fact, considering the current situation, both Pei Shiju and Li Shan knew in their hearts that the outcome of each other was not only related to themselves, but largely depended on the outcome of the crown prince and King Qin.

This is also the reason why Pei Shiju was angry but did not recall his son even though Li Shan chose to go to Longzhou... The outcome of the two sides is dependent on the victory of Seizing the Inheritance.

Li Shan's actions today are actually telling Pei Shiju that if you dare to do anything wrong, believe it or not, I will take your son for surgery, and believe it or not, I will send you a white-haired man to a black-haired man!

This is not revenge, but a threat.

But Pei Shiju really felt wronged, what a disaster!

Pei Shiju's career has been ups and downs for decades, going through the Northern Qi Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty.

After all, he was born in the Pei clan of Wenxi, and his knowledge and scheming were all chosen for a while. In his early years, he won the trust of Gao Renying, the king of Gaoping in the Northern Qi Dynasty. , Cao Qigui was selected as the first choice, and he spoke Turkic language, and he was regarded as a famous official in the world.

Even though Yang Guang was killed, Yu Wenhuaji still held Pei Shiju in high regard. Even in the summer, Dou Jiande granted Pei Shiju the position of chancellor.

Therefore, the word grievance has never had anything to do with Pei Shiju.

But this time, I was really wronged!

Pei Shiju can't wait to go directly to Li Shan and explain clearly, you heard me clearly, it was Wei Ting who suggested that the crown prince recommended you, and the crown prince hesitated to ask Li Shenfu to change his position... The old man just mentioned that the governor of Yangzhou is still vacant .

This time, it really wasn't my plan!

But it's a pity, after doing it so many times before, Pei Shiju knew that even if he really explained it, people might not believe it.
