Liu Wenjing didn't understand why his father was so partial to Pei Ji? Was he not as talented as Pei Ji? When the rebel army attacked Chang'an, Liu Wenjing led his army to block Qu Tutong's tens of thousands of troops at Tongguan, and the rebel army was defeated.

Chang'an was successfully captured. But what about Pei Ji? Yongxu was incompetent. During the Battle of Hedong, Song Jinguang devoured more than 20,000 troops and fled to Jinzhou alone. In order to silence the ministers, his father only imprisoned him.

a few days,

Let him be reinstated. Faced with Song Jingang's attack, Pei Ji was helpless. He could only fortify the walls and clear the country, drive the people into the castle, and burn the people's grain and firewood. The people only had so much grain and firewood, and you set them on fire.

How can they survive if they are killed? Doesn't this force the people to rebel? Lu Chongmao of Xia County took the opportunity to kill the county magistrate and raise troops to rebel. The situation at that time was made almost impossible to control by Pei Ji.

At this moment, all the officials in the palace were watching Abba with bated breath to see how he would reply to Liu Wenjing. The hall was as silent as an ancient temple on a deserted mountain. Abba was also silent, as if thinking about how to answer. Everyone knew that he and Pei

Ji's friendship is profound and unparalleled by ordinary people. Pei Ji was born in the West House of the Pei family in Hedong. Although the Pei family in Hedong is not as good as the Li family in Guanlong, it is also a famous family with a long history. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, family status was still the mainstream value.

Both Abba and Pei Ji came from well-known families, so they naturally sympathized with each other. Abba once said to Pei Ji: "Most of the previous emperors came from humble beginnings, and they could only achieve success by fighting hard in battle. I, the Li family, am originally from an old clan in Longxi, and have been married to the imperial family for generations.

, once

For your righteousness, the world responded, and you conquered the world in a short period of time. You are also from a famous family, and you have held high positions in the Qing Dynasty. You are not comparable to Xiao He, Cao Shen and other swordsmen and pen officials. You and I, after a thousand years, will be worthy of your honor.

Former sages."

Pei Ji lost his father when he was young and was raised by his elder brother. He has handsome features and handsome appearance. He was appointed as the registrar of Puzhou at the age of fourteen. Later, he rose through the ranks. When he was the deputy eunuch of Jinyang Palace, he met his father. The two had similar interests and fell in love at first sight.

, often drinking and playing chess together until late at night, and often discussing the general trend of the world together. Later, Pei Ji accepted the request of his second brother and arranged for his father to be drunk while he was drunk.

Two palace maids attended the bed. When my father sobered up, he saw that it was over and he had committed the crime of beheading! Pei Ji took the opportunity to say to his father: "Erlang secretly recruited troops and horses to do a big thing. I privately asked the palace maids to serve you. If the matter is leaked,

He will be killed by the emperor. Now the world is in chaos and thieves are all over the world. If you abide by the rules, you will inevitably die. If you raise righteous soldiers, you will be able to achieve success. What do you think?"

Perhaps, my father also wanted to rebel, but he was still undecided for the moment. Pei Ji's approach gave him a step down. After his father raised the army, Pei Ji sent 500 maids in Jinyang Palace, 90,000 buckets of rice, and 50,000 pieces of silk.

He donated 400,000 pieces of armor and armor for military use. When Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty abdicated, his father repeatedly refused to become emperor. Pei Ji said to his father: "Your Majesty, if

If you don't ascend the throne, I will resign." After his repeated persuasion, Abba decided to ascend the throne. It can be said that at the two critical moments, Abba was looking for a way out for himself, and both times it was Pei Ji who gave him the chance.

Therefore, after Abba ascended the throne, he said to Pei Ji: "I will become emperor with your strong support!" Obviously, their friendship is by no means as simple as drinking and playing chess.

Regarding Liu Wenjing's words, my father disagreed and said: "In the past, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Yan Ziling slept together, and Yan Ziling stretched his feet on Emperor Guangwu's belly. Today, all ministers are old colleagues with high morals, lifelong relatives and friends, and past friendships.

How can you forget it? My dear, you don’t have to worry about this!"

After his father finished speaking, he announced the dismissal of the court, stood up and left. Liu Wenjing wanted to participate in a book to embarrass Pei Ji, but unexpectedly she was disappointed, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Pei Ji, who was standing next to him, had a look on his face.

But he always had that half-smiling expression, which made Liu Wenjing even more angry.

When the ministers saw that the emperor was gone, they all dispersed. Li Zhiyun also left the Wude Hall. As soon as he walked down the steps, a Xiao Huangmen caught up with him and said that the emperor was looking for him. Li Zhiyun had to follow the Xiao Huangmen to court.

He walked into the inner hall. As he walked, he thought, why is his father looking for him? Is it to discuss how to divide the spoils? There seems to be no need to be in such a hurry, right?

Li Zhiyun walked into a palace room and saw his father sitting on a soft couch. Opposite him stood a man. This man Li Zhiyun had never seen before. He looked to be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a medium build and a tall face.

He is also very impressive, but his skin is a bit dark.

When his father saw him, he beckoned: "Zhiyun, come here quickly and meet Mr. Li." Li Zhiyun walked over, but before he could salute, the other party bowed his hand to him and said, "Your Majesty, Li Mi, has met His Highness the King of Chu."

Li Mi? Which Li Mi? Li Zhiyun looked at the other party in confusion, and while returning the salute, he said: "Are you the leader of the Wagang Army?" The man smiled and nodded: "It is the official."

Wow! It turned out to be the leader of the Wagang Army! Li Zhiyun had an eye-opener today! He hesitated for a moment and then asked carefully: "Isn't Mr. Li in Luoyang? Why are you here in Chang'an?" After hearing this, Li Mi sighed and said

: "The lower official underestimated the enemy and was defeated by Wang Shichong. He lost the place to set his hammer, so he entered the pass and defected to the Tang Dynasty."

Oh, so that's what happened. When my father saw them finishing the ceremony, he said to Li Zhiyun: "Xue Ju from Longxi attacked Fufeng and captured Qianyuan. I have appointed your second brother as the marshal and led the troops to attack Xue Ju.

Tomorrow morning, you and Mr. Li will accompany your eldest brother to see off your second brother." Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun quickly said: "My son, I obey!"

Early the next morning, Li Zhiyun took Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu and several other guards and rode out of the city to Shili Changting. After arriving, Li Zhiyun found that Li Mi had arrived first, and there were two people standing beside him, one in his 20s.

He is many years old and not tall, but he is strong and strong and looks like a military general. The other is a scribe, white and fat.

Li Zhiyun got off his horse, walked over to greet Li Mi, then turned his eyes to the general and said, "Who is this?" Li Mi introduced, "This is Wang Bodang." Wang Bodang? Li Zhiyun knew that he was also from Wagang Village.

One of the heroes, Li Mi introduced the scribe again: "This is Wei Zheng."

Wei Zheng? Wow, the most criticized minister of the Tang Dynasty! At this moment, Li Zhiyun had to look at Li Mi with admiration. This guy is really awesome! There are many talents under him. In addition to Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others, even Wei Zheng is his subordinate. It's really

Not simple!

Wang Dangbo and Wei Zheng saluted Li Zhiyun. After Li Zhiyun returned the salute, he smiled and said to Wei Zheng: "Mr. Wei, I would like to chat with you for a few words. Please move your toes and take a step to speak." After that, he said the invitation.

Gesture. Wei Zheng nodded and walked aside with him.

Li Zhiyun looked at the other party and said: "Mr. Wei, I didn't know this before, but it turns out that you are also from the Wagang Army." Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. I have been poor since I was young and have no career. I have no choice but to do it." He became a Taoist priest. However, I like reading and have dabbled in hundreds of schools of thought, especially the theory of vertical and horizontal. At the end of Daye, the world was in chaos. Cheng Yuanbao of Wuyang County raised his troops to respond to Li Mi, and summoned me to serve as secretary in his army. Yuan Every time the treasure presented memorials to Li Mi, Li Mi greatly appreciated them. When Li Mi learned that these memorials were written by me, he sent someone to summon me to his side. Later, Li Mi lost the attack, so I followed him. We came to Guanzhong together."

So that's it. Li Zhiyun asked again: "Mr. Wei, are you still used to living in Chang'an?" Wei Zheng nodded and said: "It's not bad. However, I will leave Chang'an tomorrow and go to Liyang."

"Oh? Why are Mr. Wei going to Liyang?"

"Li Mi's former general Xu Shiji is now occupying Liyang, and he still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. A few days ago, I reported to your Majesty that I would like to go to Liyang to persuade Xu Shiji to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty has already agreed and appointed me as Secretary Cheng, so I will leave tomorrow. .”

Xu Shiji? Li Zhiyun has never heard of it. Could it be the prototype of Xu Maogong? Isn't Xu Maogong a military advisor? How did he become a general? But it's no wonder that the novel is not exactly the same as the real history. Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun added: "Wei Sir, is there someone named Shan Xiongxin in the Wagang Army?"

"Yes, Shan Xiongxin is brave and agile, good at riding horses and using spears. He is famous as the first in the army and is called the 'Flying General' in the army. However, he refused to submit to the Tang Dynasty and has surrendered to Wang Shichong."

Li Zhiyun knew about this situation. In his previous life, he watched the TV series "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". In the TV series, it was said that Shan Xiongxin was unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty until his death because Li Yuan killed his whole family. He didn't know whether this was true or not.

After Li Zhiyun finished chatting with Wei Zheng, he walked over and chatted with Li Mi and Wang Bodang for a few words.

Today, in addition to Li Zhiyun, Li Mi and others, there were also some ministers from the DPRK and China who came to see off the second brother. At this time, a luxury carriage drove over and stopped by the roadside. Pei Ji got off the carriage. After seeing Li Zhiyun, Pei Ji , came over to greet him. After Li Zhiyun returned the salute, Li Mi, who was standing next to him, raised his hands. Just as he was about to greet Pei Ji, Pei Ji acted as if he hadn't seen him, and walked away with his head held high like a rooster. Li Mi looked embarrassed. It was obvious that these nobles of the Tang Dynasty looked down upon Li Mi at all.

After a while, the eldest brother also arrived, and more and more people were seeing him off. After everyone had arrived, the second brother arrived belatedly. In fact, the expedition army had already set off an hour ago, and Li Zhiyun and the others were going to see him off today. It was just the second brother and some of his generals, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were also among them. When the two saw their former lord Li Mi, they naturally refused to be rude, so they stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists. After Li Mi returned the salute, he encouraged them a few times. sentence.
