Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 193 Pei Ju's Choice

Li Jiancheng was a little nervous. He was worried that his father would really send Liu Wenjing to the Turkic people. If the Turkic people did not follow the rules and kept Liu Wenjing, or killed Liu Wenjing, he would suffer heavy losses.

"Liu Xiangzhi's heart, I know it, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuandao: "What the prince said makes sense, Chu Luo has evil intentions towards my Tang Dynasty, Liu Xiangruo will inevitably be in danger if he goes, let's forget it."

Hearing this, Liu Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief.

It was so dangerous that I almost got hit.

Pei Ji sighed silently in his heart, it would be good if Liu Wenjing went to Turkic as an envoy, but it would be even better if he died in Turkic.

Chen Shuda asked: "Who does Your Majesty think can go to Turkic?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Chu Luo has always been rude in his actions. If he sends important officials to Turkic envoys, he will inevitably be detained by Chu Luo."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Dou Wei and asked, "Mr. Dou, I remember that Dou Yun hasn't become an official yet, right?"

Dou Wei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "Yes."

Li Yuan grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, "Dou Yun is a relative of the emperor, and now the country is in need, I hope he can set an example and dare to be the first."

Like a cat smelling fishy smell, Liu Wenjing immediately echoed, "I agree with you, Your Majesty's words are insightful. Dou Yun is quick-witted and prudent in his actions. If he is sent as an envoy to Turks, he will be able to capture them easily and be a great success."

Dou Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Dou Yun has never been an envoy to Turks before. He is incompetent, but it is a small matter, but it is a disaster to spoil His Majesty's plan. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Dou Kang also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that it is inappropriate for Dou Yun to go on an envoy to Turks."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It turns out that Prime Minister Dou is so disapproving of his son."

As he said that, he took out the memorial that Dou Wei had requested to make Dou Yun an official a few days ago, and threw it on the imperial case.

"He doesn't even have the ability to send an envoy to Turks, so how can he manage the affairs of a state. Do you think so, Prime Minister Dou?"

Dou Wei cried out inwardly, Li Yuan was forcing him to express his opinion.

If he disagrees, Dou Yun can only continue to stay at home as an otaku.If you agree, with the current relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, the detention of the Turks is a minor matter, but the death of the Turks is a major matter!
"Your Majesty, there are so many capable people in the court, why do you need a little Dou Yun to contribute." Dou Wei said.

Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "It is true that there are many talented people in the imperial court, but Dou Yun, as a relative of the emperor, has come to stand, and he has not yet made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Dou Xiangzheng should seize Yun's opportunity to make meritorious service for him."

Dou Wei was nervous, he could indeed refuse, but the problem is that if he refuses this time, it will be difficult for Dou Yun to find a family next time.

Li Yuan asked coldly, "Master Dou, what do you think?"

Dou Wei looked at the floor, his mind churned with thoughts, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Dou Yun to go. The imperial servant Pei Ju is familiar with the Turkic affairs, so it is most appropriate for him to go."

In the end, he was still worried about Dou Yun going to Turkic by himself.In particular, let Dou Yun go to Turkic to take risks at this time.

Seeing this, Li Yuan snorted coldly, and threw the memorial requesting that Dou Yun be appointed an official to Dou Wei.

"Master Dou, think twice before doing things in the future."

Dou Wei stared at the memorial that fell on the ground in a daze.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan appointed Pei Ju as the appeasement envoy of Bingzhou, and he went to Turkic as an envoy with festivals.

Pei Ji asked for orders and conveyed the imperial edict to Pei Ju.

Pei House.

Pei Ju stroked his beard, looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and thought of Pei Ji's congratulatory fake smile just now, he immediately felt sick in his heart.

Although Pei Ji said on the surface that this was the sage's attention to him, but thinking about the relationship between Datang and Turks at this time, Pei Ju only felt that this was full of malice.

As for Pei Ji, on the surface he came to congratulate him, but in fact he was looking forward to his death.

"My lord, are you okay?" The eldest son Pei Xuanji brought a brazier, picked up a cloak and put it on Pei Ju, and asked, "My lord, since Pei Ji left, you have been looking at the imperial decree, but what's wrong?"

"See for yourself." Pei Ju handed him the imperial edict.

Pei Xuanji took the imperial decree and opened it. After reading it, his face became angry, "At this time, the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic people are at odds, and the sage asked my father to go on an envoy to the Turkic people. Isn't this harming my father!"

Pei Ju took the tongs and lightly stirred the charcoal in the brazier. He didn't speak, but seemed to be in deep thought.

Pei Xuanji said urgently: "My lord, why don't you go to the prince, he will definitely protect you!"

Hearing this, Pei Ju poked the tongs into the brazier.

boom!
Sparks fly.

"Do you think this is just the meaning of the saint?"

"Your Excellency, you mean that the crown prince also wants you to go to Turkic as an envoy?"

"Otherwise?" Pei Ju sneered, "The crown prince recommended me to be an envoy to Turkic, just to show his kindness and win him over."

"But what kind of solicitation is this?" Pei Xuanji was dumbfounded. Is this nima sending someone to die to show her kindness?This is a demonstration.

Pei Ju sneered, "These days, the crown prince has been courting me a lot, but I don't pretend. This time he recommended me to be an envoy to Turkic, just to tell me that if I don't rely on him, I can only be manipulated by others."

Pei Xuanji said: "So, as long as the lord bows his head to the crown prince, he can make the saint take back his life?"

"Not necessarily." Pei Ju rolled his eyes.

This matter is not something that the crown prince can single-handedly direct. He has also heard about the decision to send an envoy to the Turks and the debate in the Zhengshitang.

Li Yuan's purpose is obviously aimed at Dou Wei, he is just a chess piece used by Li Yuan to warn Dou Wei.

What really made Pei Ju uncomfortable was the prince's attitude. Dou Wei suggested that Liu Wenjing be sent as an envoy to Turks, and the prince immediately defended him.And what about myself?But it was the tool used by the prince to deal with Dou Wei, and he did not take him seriously at all.

Hehe, what a Great Tang Crown Prince.

Pei Xuanji didn't understand his father's thoughts, so he sweated profusely, "My lord, you can't go to the Turks. Now the Tang Dynasty is at war with the Turks. If you go, the Turks will murder you, what should you do?"

Pei Ju said: "It's impossible not to go. The Duke of Anyi County, who had already rejected the saint's canonization for his father last time, if he refuses this time, he will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble."

"But, this is a matter of life and death!" Pei Xuan said anxiously: "My lord, why don't we resign and go back to Wenxi, and not serve in the Tang Dynasty!"

Didn't he become an official in the Tang Dynasty?

Before letting go, Pei Ju would really agree, but now he can't back down like this.

"Look at this." Pei Ju took out the letter that Pei Shiqing had written to him.

Pei Xuanji was puzzled, took the letter to read, and after reading it, his face turned pale, "Pei Ji, how dare he?"

The contents of the letter can be summed up; Song Jingang attacked Wenxi, and Pei Ji blocked the rescue of King Chu.

Pei Ju sighed heavily, "If it wasn't for the King of Chu's rescue this time, the Wenxi Pei clan would have suffered a heavy loss. This time I rejected the saint for my father, and the next time Pei Ji does it again, we will be hard to guard against. Moreover, if he offends the saint, he will forcefully let the two Pei merge."

"Dream! Isn't he worried about the criticism from the Shandong family!" Pei Xuanji said angrily.

Pei Ju said: "Of course he is worried, but with Pei Ji in his hands, he can throw Pei Ji out as a scapegoat at any time."

Last time, he rejected Li Yuan's kindness, and he was also telling Li Yuan that Wen Xi's Pei family has nothing to do with Sang Quan's Pei family.Pei Ji never even thought of representing Wenxi Pei's family in this lifetime.

If he refuses Li Yuan's appointment again this time, Li Yuan will not only not stop Pei Ji from secretly attacking Wen Xi's family, but even help him.

Of course the Shandong family is not afraid of Li Tang, but at present he is alone in the court, no one joins hands, fighting alone, one can imagine the pain.

Moreover, because they refused the prince's solicitation, the children of the Shandong family in the East Palace would not lend a helping hand to him.
