Yang Ming's last three mutton-fat jade scraps belong to Pei Shuying.
He was quick and agile, defeating three cities in a very short time. Not only was his chess skills superb, he was also extremely impressive.
Every time he made a move, those eyes would stare straight at Chen Shuyi, making Chen Shuyi panic for a while.
This is psychological warfare.
Chen Shuyi is an idiot and has no psychological quality at all. It is normal for her to lose.
As for Pei Xizai recommended by Pei Shuying, Yang Ming planned to use it.
Aren't you from Dali Temple? You happen to be the legal director of the general house. As for the other party offending the Xiao family of Lanling, it doesn't matter. In fact, the mother-in-law doesn't have much contact with the Xiao family. After all, there are only seven or eight people.
At noon the next day, Yang Ming had just woken up and summoned Pei Shuying:
"You can send a letter to Daxing and ask Pei Xizai to come."
Pei Shuying sat by the stove and said with a smile: "No need to write a letter, he came with me and is staying at an inn in Jiangling County."
Yang Ming was stunned: "Do you think I will take him in?"
Yang Ming said: "During this period, are you looking for a new position?"
Although the eldest brother Yang Zhao is now the new Internal History Ling, he is not skilled in the business and has limited abilities, so Pei Ju is still in charge of the affairs of the Internal History Province.
After suffering a big loss, he no longer dares to offend others randomly.
The same is true for court meetings in the palace. Generally, people will only kneel down when making a petition, asking for forgiveness, or receiving a reward. Normal discussions can be done while standing.
In the Sui Dynasty, ministers did not have to kneel down when meeting their superiors, unless they wanted to kneel down. There was no other way.
"Now you have no official status?" Yang Ming asked calmly.
"Yes" Pei Xizai slowly left.
At the moment, the Pei family's most worried person is Pei Ju. Pei Ju, who comes from a wealthy family, naturally puts the interests of the family first, and it is almost his duty to seek official positions for members of the family.
Yang Ming said: "Since everyone is here, let's bring him here."
Pei Shuying knew that Pei Xizai, who had served as the governor of a state, would not be satisfied with being a small court official all the time, and his ability could make him qualified for more important positions.
Pei Xizai replied: "I entered the official position in the shadow of my family. I once served as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple and was later transferred to the governor of Yingzhou. During this period, I never asked for help. After I was dismissed from office and idle at home, I entrusted my elder brother Pei Ju to help me if there was any shortage.
Recommend one or two.”
Offending local dignitaries or offending the King of Hedong is a person who knows how to choose.
This time when she went to Jingzhou, she was completely prepared. She didn't care about her reputation as a young girl waiting to be married, and she even dragged her father down.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking me in," Pei Xizai quickly saluted.
Pei Ju's main concern was his daughter's life-long event. It was just a coincidence that he was arranged to go along with her.
My niece is seventeen years old this year and has already passed the marriageable age. She doesn't want to quickly return to Beijing to find a well-matched husband, but stays in Jingzhou instead?
Pei Xizai finally realized what his clan brother had planned.
The most important thing in employing people is their loyalty. Loyalty is not something you are born with, it must be cultivated. This is a profound knowledge and a necessary skill for all emperors of China.
Pei Xizai nodded and said: "Brother Pei Ju once said that because I offended the Xiao family of Lanling, no one dares to use me now, but His Highness can take him in, so he asked me to come to Jingzhou to try my luck."
Such was the ethos of the Sui Dynasty. Because there were many aristocratic families, talented people and strangers from all over the world were attached to the aristocratic families, gradually forming local tycoons with stable power and clear territory, who actually controlled the local administrative power.
Her words somewhat meant to paint a bigger picture for Pei Xizai. Of course, she also hoped that he could settle down and do his job well.
"Since we are all in the General Manager's Mansion, we will have a helper in the future," Pei Xizai nodded: "Wherever I need uncle's help, Ayun just asks."
Being on the waiting list means filling in wherever there is a vacancy. Whether you can fill it or not depends on whether there is someone above to help you. If no one helps, you will be on the waiting list for the rest of your life.
In other words, Pei Ju now holds three real powers: Neishi Province, Dali Temple, and Zuowu Weijunfu.
Pei Ju has already considered him dead.
Pei Shuying was waiting outside the hospital. When she saw Pei Xizai coming out, she hurried forward to ask.
"It's not me, it's my grandfather," Pei Shuying said with a smile: "My grandfather said that now His Highness is the only one who dares to use him, and His Highness will definitely use him. It's not for anyone's sake, but this person is worth using."
As brother Pei Ju said, although the King of Hedong is young, his courage and means are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Pei Xizai replied: "Two years, eight months and twenty-one days."
This Pei Xizai is only thirty years old. He is in the prime of his career and he comes from a wealthy family in Guanzhong. He definitely does not want to be a substitute.
The first priority in doing things is to hire people. The key to hiring people is to use the right people.
He always thought that Pei Shuying came to Jingzhou this time mainly to accompany him to help intercede in front of the King of Hedong. It was not clear at all that he was the foil.
I remember it quite clearly. Are there any details? Yes, those in charge of the judiciary must be careful.
What is a right person, a loyal person.
Just like the two young ministers of Dali Temple, Zhao Chuo is strong enough, Yang Yue is shady enough, and the current minister of Dali Temple, Pei Ju, is cruel enough, they are a perfect match.
Pei Xizai nodded, pulled Pei Shuying aside, and whispered: "I am satisfied that I can get the position of law cao this time. I only hope that I can satisfy His Highness in my future work. After Ayun (Pei Shuying's nickname) returns, please tell me
Clan brother, I should keep this recommendation in my heart."
Pei Xizai shook his head: "I don't know."
Yang Ming said: "If Fa Cao is short of people, recruit them yourself."
The Hedong clan also belongs to the Guanzhong Group.
Pei Shuying shook her head: "I will stay in Jingzhou for a while."
In the Sui Dynasty, finding a career through connections was not something that was done openly. Most of the time it was done openly. You could tell people which path I took and who arranged it for me.
Another reason Yang Ming chose to use Pei Xizai was that it was very difficult for him to return to his official career, and Yang Ming undoubtedly gave him a chance. This was his kindness.
"There is no need to recruit," Pei Xizai said quickly: "I have always been surrounded by staff who are well versed in judicial matters and are quite capable."
Just like the feudal clan after Yang Jian succeeded to the throne, in this era, although the family behind him may not be reliable, it is always more reliable than others.
Unable to understand, Pei Xizai shook his head. His clan brother had always been cunning and scheming, and others could not understand his thoughts at all.
A family like Hedong Pei's, with core members plus side branches, including all the people in the house, probably exceeds 20,000, which is really a huge thing.
In the back hall, Pei Xizai, who was only thirty years old now, saluted Yang Ming and stood in a dignified manner, waiting for Yang Ming to ask questions.
From this point of view, Pei Xizai should have been an official of around the fifth rank, while the Facao in charge of the Mansion was only from the seventh rank.
Pei Xizai clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I am now the official of the imperial court and an alternate official."
Go back? Who told you that I want to go back? Pei Shuying frowned and said: "Why do the family need to say thank you? If you have any questions, uncle should write a letter to my grandpa himself."
The core members of the clan basically have their own team, that is, the staff and disciples.
Pei Xizai was stunned: "The New Year is over, Ayun still hasn't come home?"
"That's good," Yang Ming nodded: "For specific matters, please go to Yuan Wendu."
Unlike now: I rely entirely on my own efforts and have nothing to do with my father.
Being seen through like this, Yang Ming felt a little frustrated. Fortunately, the other person was Pei Ju, so he felt a little relieved.
Yang Ming asked again: "Do you know why you are here?"
"I understand, uncle, go and make arrangements quickly," Pei Shuying said after sending the other party away, standing alone in the corner of the courtyard, sighing.
The evil king.
Pei Xizai's resume is quite good. He has the courage to fight against the local wealthy families and he does not hesitate to offend others. He is the type of person Yang Ming needs right now.
Of course Yang Ming also knew this, so he set a standard for him very simply:
"There is no one in Jingzhou that I dare not arrest or kill. Since I am in charge of the judiciary, I should keep in mind my fairness and strictness. Just as you did in Yingzhou, do it in Jingzhou. Don't be afraid of offending others.
If you are afraid of offending others, you will offend me, do you understand?"
As for what Yang Ming said was a good job, what was the standard? Pei Xizai didn't know, so he could only explore slowly.
In any case, Pei Xizai also came from an important position in the Central Committee, and his brain was definitely sufficient, and he mastered the subtle points in no time.
Yang Ming asked again: "How long will you be idle?"
Just like in a certain football team, if you want to play as a substitute, you have to be supported by someone else, otherwise it will be naturalized. You also show me the water dispenser honestly.
Pei Ju, if you want to plot against me like this, we will have to strategize carefully in the future.
You don't know, but does Pei Ju know that people have come to my door? Yang Ming said: "Since I am from Xingming, and recommended by Pei Gong, I still have to give you this face. You will take on the post of Chief Legal Officer first. If
If you don't do well, you can go back to Daxing and continue to be on the waiting list."
Yang Su, next to Su Wei, he is the one.
"I understand!" Pei Xizai cheered up and felt reassured.
But the King of Hedong has a marriage contract approved by the Holy Queen, how to break it? You can't be a concubine for someone, right?
Those who are in charge of the judiciary must be upright, make decisive decisions, and look forward and backward in both directions. We must not use them.
She was also quite happy when she learned the result and quickly told:
"Uncle, please remember to work hard. The King of Hedong is no better than others. Don't worry about being bound by chores here. Doing your own thing well is the key to success in the future."
"Since you have offended my natal family, do you think I will still use you?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
A child from such a wealthy family has only one goal in his life, which is to become an official. If Pei Xizai does not have the opportunity to return to officialdom, his life will be over. He will be depressed if he cannot hold his head high within the clan.
He was completely reduced to a useless person, and his descendants had no future.
The governor of Yingzhou was a high-ranking official. At least it proved that the other party was personally chosen by Yang Jian, and he was at least familiar with the emperor.
If she couldn't marry Yang Ming, she wouldn't look for another family. People with stubborn personalities are always easy to get into trouble.
What I like is his person, not his prince.
Even a poor person like Li Dewu has a chance. It can be seen that Pei Shuying does not value family background.
I stayed up late to watch the final last night. I didn’t lie down until four o’clock. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep. I got up late, haha.
