"How can they be happy to die and live evil lives? They are not among the listed people and have different masters from Bashu?" Yu Bashu said.
On the platform, the father and son discussed the matter of sending troops again. Among them, Pei Qian's various strategies for going south to Hanzhong made Pei Mao feel fresh and new. He couldn't help but sigh: "I never expected that you would have such insights here.
If you can follow this expedition to Shu, why worry about not achieving good results?"
Pei Qian smiled without any self-respect and said: "You still have enough time to make contributions when you are still young, so don't rush for a while."
"It's good not to be arrogant or impetuous." Pei Mao rarely praised his son. This eldest son had been naughty since he was a child, which troubled him the most. Now that he knew the importance and was well appreciated by the emperor, he ignored him intentionally or unintentionally.
Unruly character. Thinking about it this way, he was afraid that Pei Qian might think too much on the surface despite being indifferent on the surface, so he took the initiative to explain: "The imperial court's southern expedition seemed huge, but in fact it was just one or two battles. At most, the battles were fought.
After Hanzhong, we will just march to Jiameng Pass. With Fengxian, Lai Min and others in the capital, as long as we get to Hanzhong, Bashu and other counties can be assigned to our command, but there will not be much success in the real theory."
Pei Qian thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's what Aweng said."
"The situation map of Bashu is mostly in your hands. If it weren't for this map, the imperial court's southern expedition would have been difficult. You have the ability to draw the map. In hindsight, your achievements are no worse than those of attending the battle in person." Pei Mao then said: "What's more, you have made the map.
If you are close to the country, the country will not treat you badly."
Pei Qian only said yes.
After saying these words, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly cooled down. The father and son looked at each other in embarrassment, not knowing what else to say to each other. Pei Qian seemed to find this very interesting and said to Pei Mao
He blinked narrowly, complying with the etiquette rules of refraining from asking questions and not speaking up.
Pei Mao coughed dryly. He wanted to stop this kid from pretending, but suddenly a thought came to his mind and he blurted out: "Have you ever been invited to Wang Bofang's wedding?"
Bo Fang is Wang Duan's name. The marriage between Wang Mi and his family, which has spread throughout Chang'an in the past few days, has finally come to an end. Although due to established public relations, the Mi family did not pay a cent of the dowry, and only let Mi Zhen wear a thorn hairpin cloth.
Although the emperor and others gave him a lot of gifts and tributes, he not only rewarded them with huge gifts, but also ordered people to record the events and incidents at this festive time.
For his meritorious service, Wang Bin was granted the title of Marquis of Yiyang and was granted the title of Thousand Households.
As for Wang Duan, who was worshiped as Shangshulang just at the beginning of the year to worship King Langxieshun, he has also been worshiped as the postal governor of Hedong County in the past few days. After getting married, he will go to Hedong to inspect various counties. He is married to his sister, rich and generous.
Mi Zhu, a Donghai native who was well-known in Beijing, was worshiped by the emperor as the newly established Junshu Ling. He cooperated with the Pingzhen Supervisor and performed their respective duties, responsible for continuing to implement the grain purchase policy that had come to an end. Even those who were far away in the East China Sea
Mi Fang was also favored and worshiped as the captain of Diannong, stationed in Pengcheng to collect refugees.
The Wang and Mi families each received rewards for this marriage, especially the Mi family. Behind the scenes, almost everyone said that the Mi family was very lucky and climbed to the top. From a powerful country in the East China Sea whose influence was limited to a corner of Xuzhou,
It can be said that people are envious of becoming a hot new rich man in the court. The strong alliance between the two families suddenly made all parties aware that the situation in the future would change.
Pei Qian and Wang Fu had a good relationship in the Secretary's Prison. Wang Fu wanted to create momentum this time and specially sent invitations to Pei Qian and Fazheng in advance, saying they were joining in the fun.
"It's not like Wang Fu is getting married, so what are you going to do?" Pei Mao suddenly showed disapproval when he mentioned Wang Fu, and said without any argument: "You have never interacted with Wang Duan, so you'd better not go."
"Ah Weng." Pei Qian actually knew something in his heart, but he wanted to get the specific truth from Pei Mao. He deliberately said: "I don't understand."
"You can't talk about friendship in this matter. The two families are getting married and the guests are gathering. It's impossible not to keep an eye on it." Pei Mao mentioned in a very cryptic way: "The Wei family is decadent. We are the last family in Hedong to serve in the court.
Powerful scholars should understand better than others the principle of overturning a chariot in front and admonishing a chariot behind."
This is something that is still being concealed. In a family with a big surname, a legitimate son of Pei Qian's age is enough to participate in various family affairs and know all kinds of secrets. But now, for some unknown reason, Pei Mao always feels a little confused.
The matter was deliberately kept hidden from him. This made Pei Qian really couldn't help but be curious. He must know that even if the emperor intended to restrict and withdraw the local power of powerful men, his father dared to discuss it with him.
Vague.
Pei Qianxin was unwilling and unwilling to get to the bottom of it, so he had to respond: "I promise, kid."
The first day of March in the first year of Jian'an.
The emperor held a meeting in the front hall. Sikong Zhao Wen went up to impeach the rice thief Zhang Lu for separatist control of Hanzhong, killing the county guards, blocking roads, spreading evil arts and other crimes. He also implored the emperor to send troops to attack, so as to pass through Bashu and relieve the people's hangover.
Zhang Lu was an unjust person, and it was the unanimous consensus of the imperial court to attack him, but they didn't expect it to be so sudden.
This news quickly shocked the government and the public. Except for those capable people who could spy on the government through various clues, and the ministers who stood at the top and had more information resources, more people were worried about this sudden incident.
The news was shocking beyond measure. Especially when they saw that the emperor approved Zhao Wen's suggestion without hesitation and issued a series of edicts to mobilize troops. Only later did people realize that all this was completely premeditated.
Soon, the emperor ordered Pei Mao, the captain of the Sili School, to observe the festival, and the order for the military governor to march to Chencang Road to attack Zhang Lu was quickly passed down. The mobilization of the army, especially the sudden rise of Pei Mao, surprised all parties. And under the emperor
The day after the imperial edict was issued to attack Zhang Lu, the imperial court quietly made some small-scale personnel changes. For example, Liu Dan, the censor of the book administration, was promoted to Zong Zhengcheng. Zuo Zhonglang transferred Liu Fan to the crown prince's family order and served as a chariot.
Lieutenant Liu Zhang was also transferred from his original post and served as Guard General Wang Bin's Chief of Staff.
These are all insignificant positions, especially the crown prince's family order. Now there is no heir to the emperor. Liu Fan took over the position from the powerful Zuo Zhonglang general, and was destined to be on the bench. The imperial court's southern expedition this time
, the emperor has already revealed his intention to solve the entire Yizhou incidentally.
It was at this time, and also the day before the preparations for food and fodder were completed, and the army was ready to set off, Huang Wan, an old minister who had been idle in the countryside, paid a visit to Que Shang Shu as a scholar and made a seal for the emperor.
In the Xuanshi Palace, the emperor held the document that detailed Lai Min, Wu Ban and others' plans in Shu, as well as Liu Yanfan's repentance. He said to Mu Shun who was making tea for the emperor: "We just moved.
Brother Liu Fan, this uncle can't sit still."
"After all, a cousin who is not in the fifth class should take care of the younger generation." Mu Shun said with a smile, and presented a half-full bowl of tea to the emperor with both hands.
The emperor changed the seal to his right hand. He leaned on the chair in a very disgraceful manner, with his right arm pressing on the armrest. The seal was hanging downwards. He stretched out his left hand to take the tea bowl that was just warm and blew on it.
He took away the tea leaves on the surface, took a sip to his mouth, and replied: "In the end, it is for himself. Does he think I don't know what he is doing in private? Want to take credit for it? Haha, without Lai Min, what else can he do?
With Pei Jun, even without these two people, wouldn't you be able to do the same thing as a prisoner?"
"Speaking of which, that man is also a veteran. His swordsmanship, reputation, and character are all good, but Lian Po is old." The emperor said lightly, glanced at Mu Shun, and praised: "It's a shame that you don't know where to get him."
Found it."
"The country is ridiculous." Mu Shun said modestly.
"Do they want to rely on this to save their lives and make meritorious deeds?" The emperor suppressed a smile, gently put the tea bowl on the table, and made a small knock: "It depends on whether you have this ability!" 11
