"You are over eighty this year, aren't you?"
After getting on the royal chariot, Li asked which pot he would not open or lift, and started with a very unpleasant topic.
Young people don't want to be called immature, and old people don't want to hear the word "old". Li Po knew that he did it on purpose. He wanted to see Pei Ju's reaction. If He Chou was opposite, he must be something good to hear.
Pei Ju didn't seem to care very much. Looking at the young emperor and empress, he smiled slowly and said: "I am eighty-two years old this year. God has been kind to me. Not many people in the world can live to my age.
, Alas, I have lived for decades in vain and only lived a long life, which made Your Majesty laugh."
The imperial chariot was lifted up, and Pei Ju swayed, then sat down firmly. He looked around for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty is very simple. When Emperor Yang traveled, the imperial chariot was so gorgeous that it obscured the eyes and ears of the ministers.
From then on, surrounded by guards, he walked on the road, which has never happened in ancient times."
Li Po patted the seat of the chair lightly, "I don't need you to count them all. I have seen them with my own eyes, and I have also served as a retinue... Above the Liao River, there is a bridge that dominates. No soldiers of the three armies are allowed to set foot on it.
Then it was dismantled, hum...
So the Sui Dynasty also died, right?"
Li Bi also came to act as a demon, "I was there too, looking at the royal chariot. Although it looked extremely gorgeous, it always made people feel that it was extremely decayed and had exhausted its strength.
Speaking of which, when I led my men to garrison in Sifang City, I saw Mr. Pei several times from a distance."
Pei Ju "..."
It's really strange that these two men and women speak in this tone, especially since their experiences... are also magical enough.
What he didn't know was that Li Bi disliked him no matter what. Back then, Yang Guang built a square city under Liaodong City, and Li Bi led his men to garrison in it.
What's abominable is that the emperor still wanted to summon her to see him. What time of year was that? It was really a ghost. It almost made Li Bi's nose crooked with anger. After that, she immediately resigned from her position in Sifang City and returned to the army. She didn't want to die later.
He was sent to serve under Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen, and almost lost his life in the hinterland of Goguryeo.
At that time, Yu Shiji, Pei Ju and others were close ministers of Yang Guang. I don’t know if it was Yang Guang’s own intention or someone who gave the bad idea...
…………
Pei Ju didn't know what was going on. He only thought about the emperor and the empress who had conquered Liaodong, and it was said that they escaped all the way back to Yunnei in the ice and snow. After a few years, they became king and brought peace to the world. He could never dream of such stories.
ah.
The topic brought up by a royal chariot is a bit difficult to pick up.
But what Pei Ju wants is this kind of reaction. When talking, no matter who is on the other side, you can tell the other person's temperament when you come and go.
Pei Ju was getting older and no longer dared to hope for a deal with the emperor. He just wanted to work with him so that he could stay in Luoyang for two more years. He didn't want to go back to Chang'an anymore. After his death, he could be buried back in Wenxi's ancestral home.
.
I don’t know if the people over there still welcome him, Pei Hongda, and I have to have a good talk with Pei Shiqing later.
In fact, their branch came from the Xijuanfang of the Pei family in Hedong. They were the descendants of Pei Hui during the Three Kingdoms period. Pei Hui served in Cao Wei and later attached to the Sima family. He was one of the high families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, because most of the people in this branch were officials in Xiliang at that time.
, so it is called Pei’s West House.
The Pei Shiqing branch is the main branch, while the hometown of Pei Ju's branch has long been annihilated in the flames of war. Their descendants are scattered, spreading branches and leaves everywhere, and in the end most of them want to return to their roots.
After listening to the words of the emperor and empress, he knew that it would be best not to talk about the past in the future. My bones can't bear any beatings due to this weird temper.
"It turned out that there was a noble person on my side back then, but I was really blind-sighted and couldn't follow the situation. It's a pity."
I do regret it a bit. If only I could have formed some friendships at that time? Otherwise, he must be living a better life now than that old guy He Chou.
Speaking of which, that damn Sifang City was built by people led by He Chou. I just lived there with him for a few days.
…………
Li Po glanced at his wife and said, "Take it easy. This man is in his late 70s and 80s. What should he do if he is so frightened that he has a heart attack?"
So he brought the topic back and chatted about home affairs, "After so many years of war, is your family still in peace?"
Pei Ju bowed his hands on his seat and bowed again, "Thanks to your Majesty's blessing, although I am living abroad, my descendants have been living peacefully in Chang'an. It took me a year in Luoyang to get the news. At that time, I had mixed feelings in my heart and felt that I was full of sins.
, I’m ashamed of the world.”
Li Po felt that what he said was right. Pei Hongda should indeed feel guilty. The war in the late Sui Dynasty was not entirely Yang Guang's fault. These former Sui ministers had a share of the credit.
In fact, Li Po knew about the situation in Pei Ju's family. Pei Ju had a pair of children alive.
His son Pei Xuanji served in the Shaofu, but his talents were mediocre and far inferior to his father's.
His daughter Pei Shuying married a county magistrate in his early years. I heard Feng Deyi say that at the beginning of his career, there was a real quarrel in Pei Ju's family because of this daughter.
Pei Shuying was married to her husband for only one year, and her husband's family was exiled to Lingnan due to crimes.
Pei wanted to go with her husband, but it is said that she was persuaded by her husband. In fact, it was probably because Pei Ju did not want his daughter to die in that smoky place, so he left his daughter alive in Chang'an.
Later, Pei Ju quietly petitioned Yang Guang, hoping that his daughter would reconcile, which meant divorce, and Yang Guang agreed.
After a while, the matter broke out because Pei Ju wanted to find another husband for his daughter. Pei was a strong-willed man and was already full of resentment towards his father after the divorce. At this time, he was so angry that he cut off half of his hair.
Sharpening one's will was an ancient heroic act. The meaning was very clear. If you try to force me again, I will die for you. Pei Ju had no choice, and the censors also began to impeach him, so there was no movement.
A few years later, when Feng Deyi heard about it again, it was time for a great cause.
The county magistrate had married a wife in Lingnan. When he returned to Luoyang to report on his duties, he heard about his ex-wife and was moved by his friendship. So he divorced his other wife and brought Pei back.
People would definitely not be able to understand this matter later, but it was very popular with people in the world. I heard that the two of them lived well afterwards and gave birth to three sons and four daughters...
Today, that county magistrate is still a county magistrate, but Pei has perfected his merits and has a reputation of steadfastness.
In fact, people in the world don't care much about these reputations. Weddings and funerals are not as strict as when etiquette became popular later. Especially in Kansai, there are not a few divorced people. It's just that the restrictions on officials are greater.
But as long as the story has exciting twists and turns and a happy ending, both the government and the people are still willing to spread the word...
But in this matter, like Liang Zhu, Pei Ju is undoubtedly a very evil person.
…………
Regarding this, Li Po... just thought that the county magistrate was very interesting, and said with a smile: "Pei Qing is a blessed person, I hope the people of Henan can also follow suit..."
