"Today's Tang Dynasty court has just reached the period of division of power. Your Majesty, the Prince, and the Queen are dividing their power. Similarly, the courtiers are also dividing their power within their capabilities.
There are not many such good opportunities. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, Datang will usher in a new round of power gathering period. Nowadays, everyone is working hard to get more power. If they can't get enough power at this time,
There is a thick layer of fat. When the period of power contraction comes, those who are not fat enough will starve to death, just like the line of King Zhao who just disappeared.
The purpose of Yun Chu's contact with Xue Rengui and me now is to extend his hand into the army and increase his voice in the army. However, judging from his refusal to extend Xiu'er's entry into Chang'an, this move is just a precautionary measure.
Chang'an caravans are spread all over the world. If they cannot obtain the protection of the military, it will be difficult to develop in border areas. Therefore, Yunchu's purpose of reaching out to the military is to gain some convenience.
As for arranging his own forces in the army, he probably has no such idea."
Pei Xingjian slowly told his second wife, Shedi, his judgment on Yunchu's move. During this period, Pei Yanxiu was listening nearby, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. He couldn't help but say: "He just wants to
Let the military personnel provide some convenience for Chang'an's caravan?"
Seeing that Pei Xingjian had drooped eyelids and seemed too lazy to tell his son, Shedi quickly said to his son: "Your Majesty's acquiescence to Yun Chu's layout in Chang'an is a rare grace. Therefore, Yun Chu must keep his duty, otherwise,
The first person to deal with him will be His Majesty.
Chang'an caravans are spread all over the world, sucking blood from all over the world to support Chang'an. Chang'an caravans are actually the lifeblood of Chang'an. Without these caravan tentacles extending to the southeast, northwest and northwest, it would be absolutely impossible for Chang'an to maintain its current prosperity.
The caravan is a top priority for Yunchu. He has to rely on the military to seek stability for the Chang'an caravan. He does not dare to be too blatant and can only rely on the power of my Pei family and Xue family.
Xue Ne of the Xue family enters Chang'an, and our family, Aye, chooses you to enter Chang'an. It is just an exchange of power.
The fact that you entered Chang'an as an official means that Yunchu allowed the Pei family to enter Chang'an, and since Chang'an is the place of the richest man in the world and the source of wealth, the Pei family must enter."
After listening to She Di's explanation, Pei Yanxiu said: "So, as long as we hold Chang'an's caravan, it is equivalent to holding Yun Chu's lifeline, right?"
Pei Xingjian heard this and said angrily: "Get out——"
Pei Yanxiu said in confusion: "I'm not wrong."
Shedi sighed and said to Pei Yanxiu: "Go ahead..."
After Pei Yanxiu left angrily, Pei Xingjian carefully looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked doubtfully: "The facial expression on your body is no longer obvious. Why is the facial expression on Yan Xiu'er so obvious?"
Shedi looked at Pei Xingjian with dissatisfaction and said, "Is your husband accusing me of being a bad woman?"
Pei Xingjian shook his head and said: "That's not a big deal, it's just a sigh of relief."
When Shedi saw that Pei Xingjian was a little disappointed because of his legitimate son, he whispered: "Otherwise, let Guangting go to Chang'an."
Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "You are a lady, and you have the final say in matters at home."
Mrs. Shedi sighed quietly, got up and went to the back house.
Pei Xingjian's family had no common wives, only She Di, the head of the household, and all the other women in the back house were concubines. Pei Xingjian was granted the title Wenxi Gong, and besides the eldest wife, there could be no wives in the back house.
Six concubines who eat the royal food.
Pei Xingjian fully occupied these seven places, and Aunt Gongsun, who had been with Pei Xingjian many times, was also one of them.
Before Pei Xingjian became a powerful official, Aunt Gongsun could still work with Pei Xingjian on self-reliance. Now that Pei Xingjian is the left prime minister, it is impossible for her to give birth to the Pei family.
The woman was left outside, no matter how reluctant Gongsun was, she could not get rid of the title of Pei's concubine.
When She Di came to the courtyard where Gongsun lived, Gongsun had just finished sword practice. She Di looked at Gongsun, who was soaked in sweat and dressed up, and felt somewhat jealous in her heart.
Once other women reach the age of thirty-five, they are already unbearable old women. But Gongsun is different. Her mature and plump body is about to explode, and she still exudes an aura that makes men flock to her.
charm.
Looking at Gongsun's plump body, and then looking at her own graceful body, Shedi sighed secretly, Tang people are so plump, this has become a trend in the Tang Dynasty today.
Nowadays, the ladies of the Tang Dynasty are more plump than the others. It is said that this is the sign of wealth.
I don’t know since when, women who could dance on the palms of their hands were no longer favored by the people of the Tang Dynasty. It was those women with bold and enthusiastic personalities and plump figures that became the favorites of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking away from Gongsun's plump and toned buttocks, Shedi said to Gongsun who came to see him as a gift: "Let Guang Ting'er prepare and go straight to Lantian Marquis Mansion to meet Marquis Yun."
Gongsun said in surprise: "Didn't you go to Master Yanxiu?"
Shedi's Emei frowned slightly and said coldly: "Let Guangting go."
After saying that, he turned around and left. He seemed unwilling to say another word to Gongsun. After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Gongsun and said, "You should go to the Yun family less often, so as not to disturb the Pei family's family tradition."
Gongsun agreed and watched She Di lower his head.
She really didn't understand how an Israeli concubine could be implicated in the Pei family style.
However, when he thought of Yun Chu's reputation as a good old woman, Gongsun lowered his head and looked at his body, rubbing it up and down, feeling very proud. After all, Yun Chu's eyes looked wrong every time he looked at her.
He raised his hand and patted his thigh and said softly: "No coward."
Although Pei Guangting was his son who was raised by himself, she still needed to go through the eldest lady She Di to meet her. After all, Pei Guangting was recorded in the name of the eldest lady She Di, and she was just a concubine in the mansion.
Pei Guangting came to the courtyard in a polite manner, without any emotion in front of everyone. He said a few words to Gongsun in a colorful manner. When Gongsun asked the servants and women to leave, Pei Guangting's body, which was originally as tall as a pine tree, suddenly collapsed.
.
He lazily threw his body on the brocade platform, took a bite of a peach and said to Gongsun: "Auntie, if I go to Chang'an, what will you do if that woman makes things difficult for you?"
Gongsun loosened his son's hair and tied it up again while saying: "My mother is just a wild horse, and you are my tethering post. Without you, my tethering post, where can I go?"
"
Pei Guangting said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you. From today on, I don't have to hold back anymore. If you want to practice sword dance, go practice sword dance. If you want to win the title of the best in the world, go and do it."
Gongsun looked at his son's handsome face and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting a bad reputation?"
Pei Guangting took a bite of the peach and said: "No matter how much face I lose, my son will give you ten times and a hundred times to earn it back until the world only remembers my sword dance and not the bad reputation."
Gongsun burst into laughter, tapped his son's nose and said, "I don't know if the girls from wealthy families would envy the son of the dancing concubine to be so outstanding."
Pei Guangting said: "Of course I am envious, and I will be even more envious in the future."
Gongsun lowered his voice and said: "The son of the dancing girl learned to climb high branches. This is a family tradition. After he went to the Yun family, he hugged Yunchu's thigh and refused to let go. As long as it is beneficial to my son, feel free to do anything.
Aniang still has a three-point friendship with Yunchu."
Pei Guangting looked at his mother and said, "If I get into trouble, my mother will have to pay the price?"
Gongsun chuckled and said, "It's not a big price for Yunchu..."
Pei Guangting said awkwardly: "Aniang really likes the prince more than me, as outsiders say?"
Gongsun let out a long breath and said: "The Lord is half a year too late. If he had met the Lord half a year earlier, it is impossible to say that my mother is the Yun family's wife. You can also be born into the Yun family and become a real noble son."
Pei Guangting said: "It's pretty good now."
Gongsun shook his head and said: "It's far from enough..."
Although Pei Guangting considers himself the son of a dancing girl and is still a little uncomfortable talking to her mother about these things, Gongsun has a cheerful temperament. She thinks it is better to explain the matter clearly to her son, so as not to show up after his son goes to Chang'an.
Errors in judgment.
There aren't many ways she can help her son. The Yun family is almost the only connection she can make use of. When it comes to her son's future, she doesn't care about anything.
After Pei Guangting talked in his mother's room for an hour, he coughed, stood upright, and left his mother expressionlessly to go to Aye's place to listen to the lecture.
"When you enter Chang'an, it means that Mr. Pei has entered Chang'an. When you go to Chang'an this time, you should listen to the instructions of the Chang'an official office and learn how to manage politics from the uncle of the Yun family. The steward Pei Tong will take care of the rest."
Pei Xingjian's instructions to Pei Guangting were concise and concise. He knew that his youngest son had always been smart and saw things accurately, and could often draw inferences from one instance. This was very similar to him.
It's just that his temperament is somewhat old-fashioned, which is somewhat different from his bold and free spirit.
So, just talk about some key points. Pei Guangting can naturally handle the small things.
Pei Guangting looked into his father's eyes and said, "Haier and Pei Tong do their own thing. Isn't there a subordinate relationship between them?"
Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "That's right."
Pei Guangting shook his head and said: "No, the Pei family must be consistent in their actions in Chang'an City. If I go to Chang'an, and the opinions of Hai'er and Pei Tong are at odds, the people below will be confused and it will be detrimental to the Pei family."
Pei Xingjian looked at his son in front of him and said, "You want power?"
Pei Guangting said: "A real man cannot lose his power for a day."
As Pei Guangting expected, his words did not arouse Aye's disgust, but instead caused a burst of laughter. After the laughter stopped, Pei Xingjian said: "Pei Tong is your aunt's man, he will not listen to you.
"
Pei Guangting said: "Then bring me another team..."
"No, doing so will cause discord in the family.
When I was working in Chang'an, I still had some manpower left over. Although these people have been suppressed by Yun Chu over the years and dare not even raise their heads, they are still a good force. I allow you to recruit them.
Whether they can succeed or not depends on your ability."
Pei Guangting said: "Okay, I want them."
Pei Xingjian looked at Pei Guangting with satisfaction and said, "Yes, that's what a man should do."
