Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 449
Pei Renji now has one son and one daughter. The eldest son, Pei Xingyan, is the prototype of Pei Yuanqing, and the second son who is even more powerful, that is, the one who entered the Wu Temple, Pei Xingjian, has not yet been born.

It is a great shame and humiliation for the only legitimate daughter to marry the son of a petty official, and Pei Renji cannot accept it.

However, he had to be scruples about Pei Shuying's attitude, so he simply asked the core members of the clan to meet and discuss this matter.

The result of the discussion was not ideal, half to half, and those who agreed and disagreed also had their own opinions.

Since everyone can't make up their minds, we can only ask Patriarch Pei Ju for instructions.

"Shiji should agree," Pei Yun who was present frowned and said, "I don't say what our priority is right now, everyone knows it in their hearts, and Yang Yue is back, everyone knows, my His son Pei Shuang is also the crown prince's body, but compared to Su Lie's position in the crown prince's heart, it is far behind."

Linfen County Duke Pei Xian said: "I knew this before, after Su Lie defeated Yiwu, we should give it a prize, at least get a honor."

"Honours cannot be hereditary, what's the use?" Pei Nanjin, Minister of Food and Beverage, said:

"Having honors and honors is the icing on the cake. Without honors and honors, what's the use of them? There is no precedent for our daughter to marry a commoner. I don't agree with it. I'm afraid of being laughed at behind my back when I go out."

Pei Xiji said: "Su Lie is the crown prince's confidant, it may not be difficult to get a title in the future."

"Not difficult?" Pei Nanjin sneered and said, "Your Majesty changed the system of lords in the second year of Daye, and the titles are only king, duke, and marquis. Now the worst titles are county marquises. How many marquises does our family have? It's not because of the great meritorious service of the country, but because of the great loyalty of the emperor, who is not a knight, how many chances do you think Su Lie will have in this life?"

Pei Xiji snorted coldly and said: "With the crown prince doing his best to protect him, he is also a county magistrate. It is not difficult to stay for a few years and become a prefect. I am wondering, why do you always look down on him?"

Pei Nanjin sneered, and grinned, "What else does he have besides a thousand cows? Have you read the Four Books and Five Classics? Does he have a house in the capital? I'm afraid he doesn't even have servants? Pei Shu can bear this crime by marrying her." ?”

When Pei Renji heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he subconsciously exchanged a glance with his son.

Pei Xingyan said: "House servants are not a problem. As for the opportunity, the conquest of Goguryeo is only a matter of a year or two. Isn't this an opportunity?"

Pei Nanjin said: "With Su Lie's qualifications, he will conquer Goguryeo in the future. At most, he will be a marching officer. He can dispatch 5000 people. It's all about the prince's face. How many great achievements can he make? Is it enough to be a marquis? You don't Look, how many times has His Majesty been granted titles since he succeeded to the throne? Not once, without a title, there will be no hereditary succession. In the future, their children will go to the streets to beg for food?"

Pei Heng, the servant of the driving department, agreed: "Don't worry about being respectful. Nan Jin's words make sense. You can keep them safe for life now, but your children may not be able to protect his children. You must know that getting married is a big deal. People with foreign surnames."

Pei Xingyan's face was gloomy, and he shook his head helplessly.

He also felt that he couldn't hold back his face. The women of the Sui Dynasty all paid attention to marrying up, and marrying down is shameful, let alone such a way of marrying down.

"Stop arguing, let's wait for Shiji to make up his mind," said Linfen County Lord Pei Xian, "The most urgent thing is to give Pei Shu a warning and ask her to stay away from that Su Lie for the time being, and let's talk about it when things get clear. "

"I didn't say that," Pei Nanjin said, "it's also my fault that you don't have a good discipline, uncle. There are so many daughters from aristocratic families who go out in spring, why did our family fall in love with that kid? Everyone is smarter than the other, but our daughter is stupid. It's just a joke."

Pei Xingyan got angry, slapped the table and said, "What are you talking about? Do you dare to say this to the prince?"

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing," Pei Yun stood up and said:
"The difficulty of this matter is that Su Lie belongs to the Crown Prince, and we have to take care of the Crown Prince's face. In my opinion, if the Patriarch agrees, then maybe we need to plan a good future for Su Lie."

"The prefect is already invincible, and there is no need for us to plan, the prince knows it well," said Pei Hongce, the left school office of Jiangzuo Temple:
"I haven't even read the book. I don't know if the eunuch can sit still. I can't read big characters, let alone enter the center. The only way left is the military mansion. But look, the sixteenth guard is a rough man except for Mai Tiezhang. Other than people, who else is born as a commoner? I heard that the two are sworn brothers who have changed posts, it really seems like birds of a feather flock together."

Pei Nanjin echoed: "That's right, Mai Tiezhang was sent back to his hometown by Emperor Gaozu for his repeated military exploits because of his illiteracy. If Yang Su and Li Che hadn't recommended him, he would have come back? Right now, he is only favored by His Majesty Long, so he is in trouble." A general of Zuo Tunwei, the generals of the military government are changed frequently, without background, if you go down, you will not be able to get up."

Pei Renji's current position is not as good as that of Mai Tiezhang.

Pei Yun sighed helplessly, he didn't want to quarrel with everyone, so he just sat back in his seat.

Tonight's discussion is doomed to constant disputes, but the main problem is that it is embarrassing.

In the spring outing camp, Pei Shu was locked up by the elders of the clan, and she was not allowed to leave the Pei family's camp.

And the matter between her and Su Lie was also the most lively topic in the camp recently, and everyone would discuss it after dinner.

After all, it's big news that someone from a high-class background has taken a fancy to a poor boy from the countryside of Hebei.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, people have a characteristic, they like to watch the excitement, and they like to watch jokes.

The matter of Lao Pei's family, even He Dongliu and He Dongxue were laughed at by people, because the fights caused by this matter were not young or old.

Su Lie was in extreme embarrassment at the moment, he felt that he had troubled the other girl, so that Pei Shu was ridiculed.

That's right, he doesn't even have a servant, how can he be worthy of a girl?The children of other families are all well-fed and have countless servants, but for him, one person and one horse came to the camp. Originally, the prince asked him to follow the clan team, but the clan was full of royal relatives and nobles, so he was not used to staying there.

So I didn't go there to eat at all. I walked alone, set up a tent, drank mountain spring water, and ate hunted animals.

The cold eyes and ridicule around him can only be swallowed by himself.

At this time, there were more than a dozen riders galloping up from the upstream of the creek. Seeing this, Su Lie hurriedly got up to meet them, and took the initiative to lead the horses for them.

"Hey~~~ I can't do it, I can't do it," Yang Hao dismounted neatly, handed the reins to the guards at the side, then put his arm around Su Lie's shoulders, and said as he walked:

"You are the crown prince's backup body, but I can't afford you to lead my horse."

Su Lie forced a smile and said: "Your Highness is a nobleman, but with a lowly position, he is just a commoner."

"Hey~~ You can't say that," Yang Hao said with a smile: "You are the one who serves the prince, and no one can order you except the prince."

Yang Hao sat down by the campfire and ate the pheasant roasted on the fire.

He is the person in charge of the clan at the spring outing camp, and he received a letter from the prince this morning, in which he was scolded, mainly for not showing up to support Su Lie.

Yang Hao's biggest reliance now is Yang Ming, so he didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurried to find Su Lie.

Finding Su Lie is not an easy task, because this kid is far away from the crowd and lives alone, Yang Hao didn't find him until the next afternoon.

"The camp is so close to the capital, and the crown prince knows all about the recent uproar," Yang Hao said.

Su Lie sighed: "It's the humble job that caused trouble for the prince."

You are indeed causing trouble, not only the crown prince, but you are also causing trouble for me. You have a very poisonous eye. The girl from the Pei family is from a good background and looks good. won.

"Are you two okay?" Yang Hao asked.

Su Lie was stunned: "What happened?"

Yang Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you talking about? Of course it's that kind of thing."

Su Lie was taken aback for a moment, frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"How could it be? How dare a lowly position tarnish someone's innocence?"

"It's good to know," Yang Hao said, "But she's innocent, and now she's not innocent anymore. No one dares to want her after you make such a fuss."

The spring outing in the Sui Dynasty is a blind date meeting, and it is a blind date meeting for speed dating. Basically, if the match is successful during the spring outing, it will only take two or three months to get married.

So many people do the things that can only be done when they get married, in advance.

Su Lie and Pei Shu have been dating for more than half a month, and they are together every day. Even if they are clean, others will not think so.

Su Lie squatted on the ground in distress, and slapped his face one after another. He felt that he had cheated Pei Shu.

"You also came out of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, crawling out of the dead, what's the big deal? As for humiliating yourself?" Yang Hao said aside.

Su Lie was taken aback, his eyes turned red, and he started to cry. He now regrets that he shouldn't have tainted his girl, so as to tarnish his reputation.

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Youth is youth after all. Even though you are a warrior on the battlefield, you can't get over the love of your sons and daughters. The sufferings I have suffered in this life are much greater than yours. Haven't you survived this? I'm here to find you. Let me tell you, I will take you to rob people, do you dare?"

Su Lie was shocked, and looked at Yang Hao in disbelief.

Seeing his embarrassment, Yang Hao couldn't help laughing, and said:
"The matter has come to this, the girl's reputation has been ruined, you have to give her a result, or die."

Su Lie's eyes were round, staring blankly at the new sprouts on the ground.

Yang Hao got up and patted his shoulder and said:
"With the crown prince backing you up, you're afraid of a bird. I'll take you into the Pei family camp later. I'll be in charge of blocking people, and you'll be in charge of robbing them. Remember, run to the capital if you grab them. I'll send someone to escort you along the way. Once it comes, the Pei family can't accept it or not."

Su Lie said with a miserable face: "I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll miss her life."

Yang Hao kicked Su Lie to the ground: "What? You don't admit it when you put on your pants? If you don't rob someone now, you're just ruining his life. Stop talking nonsense and come with me."

After finishing speaking, Yang Hao got on his horse and looked at Su Lie.

Su Lie clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth fiercely, and fought it out.
