bastard seizes tang

Chapter 461
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were many famous generals, but they could really be called famous commanders. Compared with those famous generals in the past, there were only a few people.

Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Su Dingfang, and then Pei Xingjian, a famous general in the world must have a place for Pei Xingjian, such a person is in Hedong with Li Ke, how could Li Ke let him go.

In fact, Li Ke has always kept Pei Xingjian in mind, but Pei Xingjian is still young, and Li Ke is not in a hurry to recruit him, but he never thought that today Pei Xingjian has cast himself in the trap.

"Sanlang seems to appreciate Pei Xingjian quite a lot." Li Ke and Wu Meiniang returned to Wu Mansion after dinner. On the way to the banquet in the evening, Wu Meiniang also remembered what happened at noon today, and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "That's right, Pei Xingjian was born in a famous family, his father and brother are both good generals, their family has a long history, a little tempering will surely become a great weapon."

Wu Meiniang asked puzzledly: "Since Sanlang thinks highly of Pei Xingjian, why didn't he recruit him into the mansion, instead let him go?"

Li Ke said with a smile as he walked: "Pei Xingjian is a son of the Pei family. If I want to use him, he can't escape. It's just that the Pei family is a famous family and we can't wait for it. Therefore, I didn't reveal my identity. I still treat him." Go back to Jinyang and give the Pei family an order to requisition, to show your solemnity."

"What Sanlang said is also true. Pei Xingjian is not only himself, but also Wenxi Pei's middle-aged family standing behind him. It is better to be more cautious." The children of aristocratic families pay attention to the appearance and look at the rules. Use them, Naturally, their methods can also be used, and what Li Ke said is indeed reasonable.Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang nodded in agreement.

But just as Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she raised her head and saw an interesting scene. Just outside the side hall of Wufu where the banquet was held, Wu Meiniang saw a familiar figure.

Wu Meiniang immediately smiled at Li Ke: "Sanlang's words are not bad, but I'm afraid that Sanlang's idea will not be achieved."

Li Ke asked puzzledly: "Oh? Why?"

Wu Meiniang pointed to the person standing outside the door of the side hall, and said to Li Ke: "Sanlang, let's see who is that?"

Li Ke looked in the direction Wu Meiniang pointed, and immediately understood what Wu Meiniang meant. It turned out that the person standing outside the door of the side hall was none other than Pei Xingjian they had seen in the restaurant at noon.

The person Li Ke hosted today was Master Pei Ren. Pei Xingjian appeared here, so naturally he came with Master Pei Ren, and most of Pei Xingjian was also a nephew of Master Pei Ren.

The Pei family is a big family in Hedong, and there are many Pei family's children in Taiyuan. Master Pei Ren is not a celebrity, so Li Ke doesn't know him well, let alone the relationship between him and Pei Xingjian.Li Ke only reported his false name in front of Pei Xingjian at noon, and he never thought that he would be exposed face to face after only half a day.

"Mr. Pei Ren pays homage to Your Highness and the concubine." Li Ke and Wu Meiniang saw Master Pei Ren, and naturally Master Pei Ren also saw Li Ke. Li Ke and Wu Meiniang approached, and Master Pei Ren hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage.

Pei Xingjian was taken aback by Master Pei Ren's actions. Pei Xingjian could see clearly that the two people in front of him were clearly the young couple he saw in the restaurant at noon. The young man even called himself Chu Ke, but his uncle actually called him "Your Highness." ".

Master Pei Ren came here to meet Li Ke, the king of Chu. Master Pei Ren would not mistake anyone. Anyone who can be called "Your Highness" by Master Pei Ren must have a king. Since there are no kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty, Chu Ke is naturally not his name. , his name should be Li Kecai.

Pei Xingjian was still wondering before that the small Xinping Chu family was just an ordinary family, how could there be such a magnificent figure as Li Ke, Pei Xingjian finally understood, it turned out that the young man he saw at noon was not at all Not the children of the Chu family in Xinping, but the third son of the Tang emperor, Li Ke, the king of Chu, which makes sense.

Pei Xingjian was still thinking about it, and he paused for a while. He failed to follow Master Pei Ren to greet him in time. When Master Pei Ren saw this, he didn't know what to do. He was afraid that Li Ke would get angry, so he pulled Pei Xingjian's clothes at once. Pei Xingjian said: "Keep the promise, don't hurry to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Hearing the words, Pei Xingjian quickly bowed down and said: "Caomin Pei Xingjian pays homage to His Highness."

After Pei Xingjian worshiped, Master Pei Ren stood up and apologized to Li Ke: "My nephew has nothing to do with it, and there are many rude things. Please don't blame your highness."

With Master Pei Renji's words, Li Ke also confirmed the relationship between the two more and more. Pei Renji died early, and Pei Xingjian was still young when Pei Renji died. From this point of view, it seems that Pei Xingjian was probably raised by Master Pei Renji.

Li Ke waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, this king and Mr. Pei are not meeting each other for the first time."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he actually raised his hand to help Pei Xingjian in front of him.

Li Ke said to Pei Xingjian: "Unexpectedly, after half a day, this king and Mr. Pei will meet again."

After all, Pei Xingjian was no better than ordinary people. When Li Ke was face to face, and the incident happened suddenly, Pei Xingjian was not even a bit cowardly. Instead, he smiled and said: "The grass-roots people have poor eyesight. Your Highness just joked that the grass-roots people in the land are so bitter."

Pei Xingjian is smart, if it is in normal times, Li Ke's words may not be able to completely deceive Pei Xingjian, but recently the Supreme Emperor has a new funeral, Pei Xingjian is in Hedong and does not know the situation in Chang'an, Pei Xingjian only thinks that the King of Chu is busy with the funeral of the Supreme Emperor in Beijing, so I didn't think too much about it.

Li Ke heard the words, and replied solemnly: "The promise of keeping the promise is wrong. I have never lied to you. I am King Ke of Chu. In short, I am Chu Ke."

Chu Ke and Chu Wang Ke are separated by a word, but they are thousands of miles away, but Li Ke has opened his mouth, and Pei Xingjian can only smile: "So the grass people think wrong."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Whether it's Li Ke or Chu Ke, it's our fate that you and I can see each other here. County Magistrate Pei, Mr. Pei, please sit at the banquet with me."

With that said, Li Ke stepped into the side hall and sat down at the head seat in the hall.

After several people sat down, Li Ke first ordered the servants in the hall to fill up the wine, held up the wine glass, and said to Master Pei Ren: "Wenshui County is the hometown of the princess, and the magistrate of Pei County is the governor of Wenshui. This king invites the magistrate of Pei Ren Entering the mansion and banquet, I just want to meet the parents and officials of Wenshui County, County Magistrate Pei will not find it abrupt."

Master Pei Ren quickly raised his glass and said, "Your Highness is serious. Your Highness wants to see me. Just pass on a password. I will come to the mansion to see you. How dare you make a special trip to host a banquet for Your Highness?"

Li Ke drank the fine wine in the glass in one gulp, and said with a smile: "The county magistrate Pei's words are bad. If the king hadn't specially arranged a special banquet for him, how would he know that Mr. Pei is actually the nephew of the county magistrate. I had a meeting with Mr. Pei at noon We hit it off at the restaurant in the county seat, and we had a very happy chat, regretting that we ran out of time and couldn't talk to Mr. Pei in detail, so the county magistrate sent Mr. Pei here."

Master Pei Ren said: "My nephew has heard about His Highness's reputation, and wanted to see His Majesty's demeanor, so he begged the minister to bring him to the banquet. It's good that His Highness doesn't blame you."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Mr. Pei is very eloquent and knowledgeable. He is by no means comparable to ordinary young people. I would not be surprised. But I have met the county magistrate today, and I have another matter to discuss with the county magistrate and Mr. Pei."

Upon hearing this, Master Pei Ren replied, "I don't know what His Highness is referring to, but please give me instructions."

Li Ke said: "My King's Chu Palace merchants are short of Dongtojijiu. This king even likes Mr. Pei. I don't know if Mr. Pei is willing to give in."

East ト of the Prince's Mansion offers wine, and he is in charge of the mansion to meet the virtuous and guide the guests. Although he is an official of the seventh rank, although it is not an important position, he often stays with Li Ke and is also a confidant.Pei Xingjian was still a white man, so Li Ke treated him with Dong ト sacrificial wine, which naturally meant to reuse him in the future.

But Li Ke valued Pei Xingjian's talent and intended to reuse Pei Xingjian, so Pei Xingjian was looking for a good opportunity.

Since Pei Xingjian's father, Pei Renji, died early, the power of the middle family members of the Pei family in Hedong has not been as good as before. Not only has it been steadily suppressed by Pei from the west and Pei from the east, but even Xima Pei and Wu Pei from the south have come from behind, faintly overpowering the middle family Pei. It means that the Pei family is naturally anxious.

Master Pei Ren is only a talent from a hundred miles away. Even if his luck is better, at most he is the talent of a governor of a state. Ke really knew his talent and became his Bole, which was also his chance to get promoted.

There was a conversation before noon, Li Ke regarded Pei Xingjian very seriously, Pei Xingjian saw it in his eyes, and in Pei Xingjian's view, Li Ke was even more like a dragon and phoenix, and Pei Xingjian also saw the opportunity to revitalize the family's family from Li Ke.

Pei Xingjian got up immediately and replied: "Thanks to His Highness's favor, Cao Min is willing to work for His Highness."
