Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 448
During the spring outing, there were not many who received special attention from Yang Lihua, but Su Lie was definitely one of them.

When Yang Lihua received the news in Jingzhao Temple that recently Su Lie and a girl from Hedong Pei got very close and often went hunting together in the mountains, she immediately felt something was wrong.

"What do you think about this matter?" Yang Lihua smiled and asked Master Huaguang beside him.

Cui Hongsheng's daughter, former princess Cui Heng was also in the room.

Hua Guang shook his head and smiled wryly: "Let's dismantle them as soon as possible, there will be no result."

Yang Lihua nodded and looked at Cui Heng: "What do you think?"

Cui Heng laughed and said, "Forcibly intervene, lest the Crown Prince will not like it, it's better to let nature take its course."

The spring outing is different from other occasions. If Pei Shu and Su Lie were hunting together in normal times, no one would say anything, but what is the spring outing for?A place where you talk about love and agree on lifelong events.

Here, Pei Shu is too close to Su Lie, which is tantamount to excluding other suitors and declaring her liking for Su Lie.

But the problem is that the gap between the two families is too big, even bigger than the gap between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

One is a bunch of dukes, earls, and marquises in the family, and the other is a county government official. How can this be matched?

What's more, this Pei Shu is not a side branch. Her father, Pei Renji, is the Duke of Langya. Below the king, the king of the county, and the Duke of the state, he is the Duke of the county. Will he marry his daughter to a commoner?
Yang Lihua was also worried, she got up and walked slowly: "With Yang Ming's protective nature, I can't break up, otherwise he will definitely get angry, but Pei Renji will definitely not agree, alas. These two are destined to be a mirror image. .”

"There are no noble sons from a poor family, Su Lie is not even considered a poor family, at best he is just a commoner," Master Hua Guang said:

"It's reasonable that the Pei family doesn't want to, but Pei Renji is also unlucky. I'm afraid he will offend the prince because of this matter. Is this calling disaster from heaven?"

Yang Lihua smiled and said: "Don't tell me, Yang Ming has this temperament. Su Lie is his confidant and favorite general. He has been cultivating him vigorously over the years. Pei Renji is really unlucky this time."

"Is it really impossible for the two young ones to get together?" Cui Heng asked.

Yang Lihua nodded: "It's impossible. This is a chasm that cannot be crossed. The most Yang Ming can do is vent his anger on Pei Renji, and he can't change anything."

"Sometimes not necessarily," Cui Heng said with a frown, "my younger brother Chu Ren is currently working for the prince in the Eastern Palace Bookstore. He mentioned one thing in his earlier letter. Wei Zheng, a Julu man, married It is the daughter of the Pei family, and Pei Ju is the host."

"It's different," Yang Lihua sat down and said with a smile:

"Julu Wei, a common surname in Hebei, originated from the grandson of Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling of the Warring States Period. Although it has declined in the past hundred years, it is far stronger than the poor family. Pei Ju told Wei Zheng about his marriage, and there have been many gossips in the family. Lie and Wei Zheng are incomparable."

Cui Heng said: "I really think that Pei Ju's vision is unusual. My younger brother said that Wei Zheng was not taken seriously at first, but gradually, the officials in the Eastern Palace realized that he was far-sighted, knowledgeable, and talented. It can be seen that Pei Ju's vision is vicious, and Su Lie is the crown prince's confidant, and every time he is entrusted with important tasks, everyone can see that this son will be very powerful in the future, so it is worthwhile to bet a little."

Master Huaguang smiled and said, "That's not how betting is done. Small bets are fun, but big bets are harmful."

"Hey..." Yang Lihua sighed, "Let's do it, I'll write a letter to the crown prince and Pei Renji to explain the situation and let them make up their own minds."

In the capital, Pei Renji was furious after receiving a letter from Yang Lihua:
"What an idiot, she didn't listen to a word I told you before I left."

The eldest son Pei Xingyan frowned and said:

"My younger sister likes to wield knives and swords, and puts more emphasis on martial arts than culture. This Su Lie is also a general. Oh, when these two people meet, they must have similar interests. It's not good."

"Go out of the city and bring your sister back to me. She won't go to this year's spring outing," Pei Renji said.

Pei Xingyan was taken aback for a moment: "The eldest princess said in her letter that she also told the prince about it. I went to arrest him to save the prince's face. I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Pei Renji slapped the table angrily and said, "Your sister's life-long event is more important, or the prince's face? Can he also take care of our family affairs?"

"Father calm down, let's wait and see how the East Palace responds," Pei Xingyan persuaded patiently.

Pei Xingyan is now the gatekeeper of the right palace of the East Palace, the one who looks after the gate, and has a good relationship with Su Lie. He likes people, but his family background is really not justified.

He knew that the crown prince attached great importance to Su Lie, so he was afraid that his father would offend the crown prince.

Pei Renji was not an ordinary person either. He was angry just now, but after calming down a little now, he knew that the eldest son's advice was reasonable.

After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Are you on duty tonight?"

"Yes, Shenshi is on duty," Pei Xingyan nodded.

Pei Renji said in a deep voice: "Well, try to meet Ah Yun tonight and see what she means."

"Sister is not a mortal, she has a heart of a bodhisattva," Pei Xingyan said, "I reckon she approves of this marriage. Just think about it, what is the most common surname in the East Palace?"

"Isn't it just that there are many people with the surname Yang?" Pei Renji snorted and said, "It's still unknown who will win the game in the future."

Pei Xingyan said: "Father, if this marriage is completed, it will undoubtedly give Elder Sister a helping hand in the East Palace. This kid Su Lie is not an ordinary ox, he has a close relationship with the crown prince. It only depends on so many thousand years." Niu Beishen, only Su Lie can have Li Jing's heart-to-heart friendship, it can be seen that Li Jing also sees the heat."

Li Jing is the crown prince's number one right-hand man. This is a fact that everyone knows, and this person is indeed a great talent, and the big bosses in the court also recognize it.

But Li Jing is Yang Su's disciple, which is not a good thing for the Pei family.

Pei Renji looked at his son in surprise, frowned and said:

"Why do I feel that something is wrong with you, do you agree with it?"

Pei Xingyan chuckled: "Su Lieqiong, don't be afraid, with our family's help, my sister won't suffer. If this kid can become a hereditary title in the future, won't future generations also suffer from it?"

"Your title came from the strong wind?" Pei Renji kicked his leg, but Pei Xingyan dodged it, and then laughed and said:
"I, Duke of Langya, belonged to your grandfather, and your grandfather was your great-grandfather. It took three generations to accumulate to this day. It is not certain whether your boy will be able to succeed me as a noble in the future. I hope a commoner can become a noble." ? Why don't you just let your sister marry a duke? How about you don't have to worry about food and clothing?"

Pei Xingyan stood aside indifferently, curled his lips and said: "Then you can always think about it, you know the prince's temper, and if you make him unhappy, he will make you comfortable?"

Pei Renji frowned and pondered for a long time, and said, "You can read what A Yun means tonight, and then we can talk about it later."

That night, Pei Xingyan changed his shift and asked someone to report to Yichun Palace, saying that he wanted to see the prince's side concubine.

Pei Shuying and Pei Xingyan are of the same family but in different houses, but they have always been rooted in the capital, so they have a close relationship, and they support each other when they are in trouble, so they are very close.

Moreover, Pei Xingyan and her younger brother Pei Xuanji are close buddies.

"What is Shoujing looking for?" Pei Shuying, supported by the maid, sat down on the chair with her belly outstretched, and said with a smile: "The family don't need to see each other, let's sit down."

"Yes," Pei Xingyan nodded with a smile, looked at Pei Shuying and said, "Have you heard about Pei Shu?"

Pei Shuying smiled: "At noon, the crown prince eats here, so of course I know."

Pei Xingyan nodded and said, "What do you think, sister?"

Pei Shuying said softly: "Don't stick to the common etiquette. There are talented people from generation to generation. No one is honored and distinguished all at once. Su Lie's family background is not worth mentioning, but behind him is the prince, and the prince is his. Family background, isn't it enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. My brother actually doesn't object here." Pei Xingyan said with a smile, "It's just that Grandpa is a little bit hard to get through. He is afraid that others will lose face by making a joke, and he is also worried about my sister's miserable life in the future."

Pei Shuying smiled and said: "Face is earned by myself, not by others. Su Lie was only a small soldier in the army back then. His current position is earned by himself. Although he came from a humble background, he worked hard and never stopped. , and because he is still young, he may not have a bright future."

"Sister, can you tell me the truth?" Pei Xingyan whispered.

Pei Shuying couldn't help laughing and said: "Tell Uncle, Su Lie didn't insult Pei Shu, let him think about it."

"Brother understands." Pei Xingyan stood up and said, "Sister is pregnant, go back and recuperate."

Pei Shuying nodded, and Pei Xingyan got up to leave.

As soon as he left, Yang Ming came out from the bedroom behind the screen.

After today's court meeting, he has been in Yichun Palace, because there are two pregnant women here, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi.

"It's good that you don't stick to customary etiquette," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I'm surprised that you said that."

Pei Shuying said with a smile: "It is said that the husband is the last teacher of the wife. He learned from you."

Yang Ming sat down with a smile and said, "Where am I informal?"

Pei Shuying said: "Selecting scholars from ten subjects and reusing poor families is the biggest challenge to the old etiquette."

After finishing speaking, Pei Shuying came across to Yang Ming, and then ordered the left and right maids to change her husband's clothes and feet, saying:
"But a husband needs to know that people are scary. Humans always want to be tall even when they are tall."

Yang Ming nodded and smiled, then soaked his feet in the water.

Humans are the most complicated animals. After passing a mountain, I just want to see what kind of scenery is on the other side of the mountain.

Yang Ming knew that Pei Shuying was talking about what happened yesterday, Huang Fenglin had a fight with Li Xuandao.

In the past, Huang Fenglin dared to fight Li Xuandao?But it was different now, Huang Fenglin thought he was the crown prince's confidant, and Li Xuandao was an old minister of King Qi, so he became bolder.

In fact, it is just a trivial matter, but it is also caused by the accumulation of contempt for the poor family for a long time.

Li Xuandao looked down on Huang Fenglin.

There will be more and more such things in the future, and officials from poor families will challenge the Guanzhong Group.

And the real intention of Pei Shuying's words is to imply that there must be a degree of support for poor families. I will let you see the scenery on the other side of the mountain before you can see it.

And Su Lie is someone who can see the scenery.

"You girl, you don't speak as straight as before," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Pei Shuying smiled and replied: "Be cautious in your words and deeds, husbands sing and women follow."
