Chapter forty-five is nothing to worry about
There are more than a dozen peacock copper lamps on both walls in the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an. The lamp is shaped like a geese's foot, and the strands hold up the ring-shaped lamp plate. There are three lamp posts in the lamp plate. Three candles are lit at the same time, making the Liangyi Hall bright like daytime.
Under the bright candlelight, the brown old man spots on Li Yuan's face became more and more obvious. Li Yuan was calm, but he couldn't help but tremble slightly with his right hand.
Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan's slightly trembling hands, his face full of worry.
Li Yuan had a expressionless face and looked at the huge wooden sand table in front of him with bright eyes. The hall was silent, with only a slight breathing sound.
Qu Tutong, the Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, pointed to the topographic map of Hetao on the sand table and explained to Li Yuan: "The Marquis of Wugong sent troops for the first time. He led the infantry and cavalry of the seven prefectures of Lingzhou Army, and went north along the Yellow River to easily seize Fengzhou. The Turkic general Tele Xifeng Bulai led more than 30,000 soldiers (Chen Ying summarized the more than 20,000 surrendered soldiers obtained by killing the nobles and dividing cattle and sheep into Xifeng Bulai) to attack Fengzhou."
"The Marquis of Wugong was waiting for the hard work, but did not defend the city. Instead, he was surprised. While the army of Xifeng Bu Lai was not stable, he took the lead and defeated the army of Xifeng Bu Lai. More than 5,000 people were killed in battle, and nearly 20,000 surrendered. Wugong reorganized nearly 20,000 Turkish surrendered soldiers into the Lingwu Right Army, with Ashinasmo as the general. Later, the Turks increased more than 10,000 troops to the army of Xifeng Bu Lai. His Majesty Wugong pretended to be wronged and committed suicide, and led Xifeng Bu Lai to be deceived. As expected, Xifeng Bu Lai led more than 10,000 troops to pursue Wugong Hou. Wugong Hou's troops fought fiercely for a long time. Relying on the protection of the master's superiors, he defeated the army of Xifeng Bu Lai, and captured Teller Xifeng Bu Lai..."
Hearing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Ji took the lead and bowed to Li Yuan and said, "I am the minister of Shangshu, the left servant Pei Jijin congratulated His Majesty!"
The Minister of War Qu Tutong also leaned over and said, "I am the Minister of War Qu Tutong, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
"I am congratulating you to Your Majesty!"
...
Chang'an City is a majestic and magnificent mansion, a tall mansion and a wide courtyard wall. In front of the gate is a striking horse-mounted stone. There are six gate halberds in each row of the gate. On the plaque above the gate, three large characters "Shangshu Di" are hung high.
The owner of this house is Pei Ji, the Minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Twelve fierce Yuan Sui's entourage guarded a carriage. Standing on both sides, his face was fierce, clearly saying that no strangers should be approached. The carriage slowly walked to the door of Shangshudi, and Pei Ji walked off the horse drunk. Pei Ji accidentally saw the alley and found a man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. The man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks hid in the alley with guilt.
Pei Ji said to the Yuan Sui's escort beside him: "That person is very suspicious. Ask which spy it is!"
The twelve Yuan entourages received orders and rushed to the alley. The man with sharp-mouthed cheeks found something was wrong and it was too late to escape. Yuan Sui, who had a beard, reached out and took the man with sharp-mouthed cheeks to Pei Mansion for interrogation like a little chicken.
After saying that, Pei Ji stepped into the mansion. Pei Ji walked into Pei's mansion and ran into his eldest son, Lawyer Pei.
Lawyer Pei said: "Dad is in a good mood today?"
"Northwest Great Deed, Your Majesty will reward the ministers, so I ate a few more cups for my father!" Pei Ji asked Lawyer Pei: "Go and call Pei Yuanfu over, I have something to ask him!"
Pei Yuanfu was actually not Pei Yuanqing's brother in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In fact, the eight most capable orphans adopted by Pei Ji were named respectively for blessings, fortunes, longevity, and good fortune.
Lawyer Pei nodded and said, "Good!"
Pei Ji's Yuansui began to interrogate the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in the Mansion's Siyuan room. After a while, he heard a clear sound of a whip whipping on his body.
Pei Ji walked slowly along the corridor in the front yard and towards the study in the back yard.
Pei Ji had just entered the study room and had not had time to sit down when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him. Pei Ji turned around and saw the bearded entourage in the leader Yuan Sui was coming quickly.
Pei Ji said, "I asked?"
The bearded Yuan Sui nodded and said, "Report to Duke Ling, that person is at Duke Lu's mansion..."
Before Yuan Sui finished speaking, Lawyer Pei was furious and said, "Why are you keeping Liu Wenjing's people? They chopped them up and fed them to the dog."
Pei Ji looked at Yuan Sui's eagerness to speak but stopped and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
The bearded Yuan Sui said, "Ling Gong, the man is Guo Chunwang, who is the brother of Tengji Guo Meier of Lu Kingdom. He has something to say to Ling Gong, saying that he would rather die than spit out a word if he didn't see Ling Gong in front of him!"
"Then he will spit it out!" Lawyer Pei said viciously: "I don't believe that his bones are really harder than iron..."
Pei Ji glared at Lawyer Pei fiercely, looking at Lawyer Pei with a very prominent threatening gaze. Lawyer Pei was so scared that his head shrank and he stopped talking.
"Bring it into the study!"
"promise--"
Seeing Yuan Sui leave, Lawyer Pei said unhappily: "Why should my dad see this vulgar husband?"
"You want to talk too much..." Pei Ji saw Pei Yuanfu coming and ignored Lawyer Pei, but looked at Pei Yuanfu lightly and said, "Lingzhou Chief Manager, Chen Ying, the Marquis of Wugong, how much do you know about this person!"
Pei Yuanfu said: "What should Gong Ling ask?"
"All about this person!" Pei Ji said: "After the battle in Fengzhou, this son has now fallen into the eyes of His Majesty..."
Pei Yuanfu bowed and said, "Let me wait, I'll come back later!"
Pei Ji nodded.
After a while, Yuan Sui came to the study with Guo Chunwang, who was covered in scars. Yuan Sui said, "My husband is in person, but he still hasn't seen him?"
Guo Chunwang knelt on the ground, howled and cried: "Good luck, Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei!"
Pei Ji said: "Whether you die or live, it depends on yourself! Do you want to die or live?"
"I want to live, I want to live!" Guo Chunri said sadly: "Pei Gong is willing to live, please live, please live, please live!"
Pei Ji said: "Who are you? Who is the one who is instructing you to peek at the Pei Mansion?"
Pei Ji looked at Yuan Sui's slightest glance. Yuan Sui's snatched Guo Chunwang's finger and slowly exerted force. Guo Chunwang's fingers made a sound of bone shattering. Guo Chunwang was so painful that he whipped the air conditioner and shouted in a stern state: "What do you want to know?"
Guo Chunwang said hoarsely: "I am the brother of Duke Lu Teng Ji Guo Meier. I heard the news a few days ago at Duke Lu's mansion that Duke Lu wants to be unfavorable to Pei!"
"Oh!" Pei Ji said lightly: "How is that bad for me?"
Guo Chunri said: "The girl discovered the day before yesterday that Duke Lu and his brother Liu Wenqi were drinking at home. During the meal, Duke Lu Liu Wenqi suddenly drew out his sword and slashed on the stone pillar with one sword, shouting: "If you can't kill Duke Pei, Liu Wenjing will not bear the son!"
Lawyer Pei said: "Dad, let's be strong first, and then let's suffer..."
Pei Ji smiled faintly and said, "A man's ear is not worth worrying."
