When the incident involving Zhao Shang happened, Pei Jun was the one who couldn't sit still the most.
When Wenxi Pei family sent Pei Jun to Pingyang, he originally wanted to let Pei Jun visit the base first to see the situation. After all, Pingyang is not too far from Wenxi, Hedong. If there are any drastic changes, it will inevitably affect Hedong. But in Zhao
Before Shang's incident, Pei Jun still focused on observation and had no intention of participating in Fei Qian's political group. However, the situation seems to be completely different now.
As for Pei Jun, is he worried that Zhao Shang will involve him? Of course he still has it. Although Pei Jun has been involved with Zhao Shang and others since Wang Hei, at least he is an insider.
If the crime of not reporting was taken seriously, then there was no telling how serious it was. Therefore, at that moment, Pei Jun could no longer sit still and could only find a way to extricate himself. So the most direct way to absolve himself of guilt was not
Shirking and making excuses, but to show that he can bring more benefits to General Zhengxi. As long as General Zhengxi Fei Qian is happy, then Pei Jun's guilt will naturally be nothing even if it is found out.
of.
Moreover, after Pei Jun received the urgent information from his servants, he felt that there must be no further delay, otherwise even if he was not dragged down by Zhao Shang, he would be implicated by the Wei family...
As a result, Pei Jun arrived at the residence of General Zhengxi in Pingyang early today and respectfully handed over the invitation.
Fei Qian was not idle at this time. He had to get up early in the morning to deal with political affairs. Previously, because the articles written by officials were too written and the rhetoric was too exuberant, Fei Qian asked his officials to speak meaningfully.
The article was simplified, but the effect was not very satisfactory. In the end, in desperation, they stipulated that the size of the writing should not exceed a ruler and the number of words should not exceed 300. This was considered as stopping the overwhelming writing style.
Fei Qian does not intend to delve into the matter of Zhao Shang. According to the current situation, there are actually many people who are good friends with Zhao Shang on weekdays. It is impossible to arrest them all and identify them one by one except Zhao Shang.
, and are there any personnel deployed by other forces?
Loyalty is always a two-way street. When the person in charge is in despair and panic, you can still expect the people below to remain loyal. That would be to overestimate human nature. Fei Qian doesn't believe it anyway, and he doesn't think he is that good.
Great charm.
Why did Mr. Guan Erye write such a big book and why he has been admired for thousands of years? It is because this is a special case. It is true that things are rare and valuable. If everyone in the world is like Mr. Guan, then there will be people in the future generations.
Do you particularly admire Mr. Guan Er?
Fei Qian immediately returned to Pingyang, which undoubtedly severely wiped out the Yang family's face. He also reaffirmed his power in the entire Bingbei area and firmly established his foothold. In addition, with the newly acquired Guanzhong and Hanzhong, it has become today's
Although they are not the strongest in the world, they are at least the princes with the largest territory. Many people once suspected that Fei Qian could not return to Pingyang and could not keep Bingbei. Now everyone's face has been beaten so hard that they are still a little sore when touched.
.
A person in a superior position has a bright future, and naturally his subordinates will feel motivated and have room and value for loyalty. This is not something that ordinary people can avoid. This is true at all times and in all countries. Of course, it also requires Fei Qian, the superior person, to understand something.
Some tactics, otherwise even the subordinates who have been following Fei Qian since he was still a little cold, such as Du Yuan and Jia Qu, have to let them see hope. If they remain indifferent and act like generals,
With his indifferent appearance, even if he originally had a loyal heart, he would probably slowly grow cold.
Therefore, when Pei Jun came to pay homage respectfully, Fei Qian did not feel overjoyed or surprised. After all, after the reorganization in Pingyang, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici had already set off in advance. If the Pei family from Hedong Wenxi did not come, then
It’s so short-sighted…
Fei Qian met Pei Jun, and after a few words of greetings, he saw that Pei Jun was hesitant and did not dare to speak directly, so he smiled and said: "Fengxian... Haha, if we talk about our ancestors, they have the same origin, so there is no need
Avoid taboos, but please speak up.”
Pei Jun thanked him with his hand, and then sighed and said: "I was very friendly to the general, so I acted arrogantly... The general knows that there are many people in Hedong who criticize the general..."
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Oh, tell me."
In this era, the gentry controlled local areas. On the one hand, they obtained power from the court, and on the other hand, they obtained benefits from the local area. They borrowed grain and grass from the youth to the yellow, recruited exiles, recruited people to join forces, and kept domestic slaves. These were not new things, and there were some
The nobles also knew that they should not drain the lake to catch the fish, so they performed some charitable deeds to help the poor in certain things, and their reputation was not necessarily so bad.
But even so, after several generations or more than a dozen generations have accumulated it, the benefits are quite astonishing. In the area between Bei Di and Bei Hedong, there were originally many nobles who were in the business of reselling supplies between Han and Hu.
Regardless of anything else, the horses alone can already be called huge profits. However, after Qianqian arrived in Bingbei, this business was basically discontinued.
"...Therefore, when the general first arrived in Pingyang, Wei Boxi and Wei Boxi sent their troops to attack each other. It was not the intention of Boxi, but the wish of the Wei clan..." Pei Jun talked about the Wei clan before Fei Qian.
He explained the reason for the hostility and said, "Currently, the Wei clan is going against the grain, pretending to be a general, and killing court officials. How is it any different from treason? But please make a decision early, don't let evil and rebellion run rampant, and the good will suffer."
Fei Qian nodded.
I see.
Fei Qian had been a little strange before, why the Hedong noble clan, although they were close at hand, seemed to not welcome him very much, and even had some inexplicable hatred. The most violent reaction was of course the boss of the Hedong noble clan, Wei
Shi.
When Pei Jun said this, Fei Qian understood.
The Wei family controlled the place and had some contact with the Xiongnu, so they had been running a horse trading business for a long time. If Fei Qian had not come to Bingbei before, and not in the name of a county governor, every year,
There are hundreds of horses that Wei handles. Of course, only a small part of these horses are war horses, and most of the others are draft horses. Even so, and Hedong's abundant grain production, every year
The profits are all quite large...
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents.
"Slaughter of court officials?" Fei Qian asked. This crime was not a small one. "Hedong Wei clan?"
"It was in the name of General Wei Shiyan that people broke into the Hedong Mansion Office in Anyi and killed Wang Shijun..." Pei Jun cupped his hands and said in a low voice.
Fei Qian was stunned, looked at Pei Jun meaningfully, and immediately said, "Mr. Wei is so brave! You are so perverse and so rampant!"
Over the years, the Hedong gentry had many marriages with each other. They had me among you, and you among me. They had long become a unit that was not easy to divide. Although there were differences, their common goal was still for the Hedong gentry.
Its own survival and development is an undeniable fact, otherwise Wang Yi would not have spent so much effort on guarding against the local gentry in Hedong.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi was so defensive and even suppressed, but he still died at the hands of the Hedong nobles.
Hearing that Fei Qian was angry, Pei Jun quickly said: "General, calm down! Although the Pei family is dull, they are all loyal and righteous people. They are willing to attach their wings to the general's command to fight against the thieves from the east of the river and put an end to the Wei family's rebellion."
The Hedong nobles want to develop, and the Pei family naturally also wants to develop, and wants to be rich for a long time. As a result, the Wei family has overestimated their abilities and behaved like this. From now on, the Wei family's bet was wrong.
Without knowing the right direction, it was naturally impossible for Mr. Pei to accompany Mr. Wei all the way to the end, so he naturally needed to find another way.
According to the normal historical development path, the Bingbei political group under Fei Qian had little chance to rise again. In real history, after Ding Yuan died, Lu Bu defected to Dong Zhuo, and the Bingzhou Army was dismantled. In addition,
Wang Yun, a short-lived guy, caused many scholars of Bingzhou's generation to be arrogant and right-wing, and they were eventually marginalized. No matter how capable the individual was, they could not compare to the group of Shandong nobles.
For example, Xu Huang, Jia Qu, and even the Pei family did not unite with the Hu people until the Wuhu chaos in China, and took the opportunity to separate their kingdoms...
But now, it's completely different.
At first, the Yang family of Hongnong was too famous and deeply rooted in the government and the public. Yang Biao was also full of knowledge and well-respected by the public. He had the potential to become the next outstanding leader. The Pei family originally preferred the Yang family, but as a result
Unexpectedly, General Fei of Zhengxi sneaked into Guanzhong and fought to the north. After two or three fierce battles, even the most stupid person could see that Yang's vitality was seriously injured. He no longer had the glory before.
Like a colorful statue of a god, it was originally very bright, but after being bumped a few times, the paint and decoration on the outside fell off, revealing the inner tube of soil and straw.
The Bingbei clan attached themselves to Fei Qian's banner and began to integrate again. Although the Taiyuan Wang family lost its main branch, after all, the family is huge. When they can breathe again, they will definitely find a new direction of development. The same is true for the Taiyuan Wen family.
.
Not to mention Jia Qu, Xu Huang, Ma Yan, Linghu Shao and others who have defected to Feiqian a long time ago. These people are already holding some important positions. In time, they will surely rise again and become famous.
"So, Mr. Pei is willing to be the vanguard to eliminate rebellion?" Fei Qian put away his pretended anger, looked at Pei Jun, smiled, and said directly.
The corners of Pei Jun's eyes twitched, and he quickly bowed his head and said: "General, although Mrs. Pei dare not call you benevolent, you also disdain what a villain does... Mrs. Pei is willing to follow the example of the sages and eliminate evil for the general...
…”
For the long-term plan of the Pei family, Pei Jun naturally has to maintain the relationship with Fei Qian, the powerful General Zhengxi, especially when General Zhengxi has sent troops to Hedong. If he is dragged down by the Wei family, he will be beaten with one blow.
Doesn't it mean that he has become Pei's sinner? Therefore, even if Fei Qian noticed something wrong, Pei Jun couldn't care less.
The Wei family survived last time, but they may not be able to survive this time. Of course, there is some relationship between the Wei family and the Pei family. If the Wei family is completely eradicated, the related Pei family will inevitably be harmed, and if Pei family
As the so-called "vanguard of eliminating rebellion", the clan inevitably attracted dissatisfaction and attacks from other Hedong gentry...
But now, all that's left is for the strong man to cut off his wrist.
also……
Pei Jun lowered his voice to a very low voice, and finally spoke out his final words: "I came here this time to boldly seek to marry the general in the Qin and Jin Dynasties. There is a daughter in the family, who is twenty-eight years old, with a good appearance and good conduct. She is willing to offer
I serve the general and serve him to show Pei's sincerity..."
"Oh?" Fei Qian felt a little funny, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, Xun Chen had mentioned it a little before, and he was somewhat prepared, "I wonder who this person's daughter is?"
Pei Jun cupped his hands and said, "His father is Xiye, and his mother... is the Xue family..."
Pei Xi's daughter.
Although Pei Xi is not well-known, he is the son of Pei Ye, the general who conquered the Liao Dynasty and the governor of Bingzhou, and the brother of Pei Mao, the minister, so there will naturally be no problems with tutoring.
However, Fei Qian noticed the pause in Pei Jun's language, so he asked: "Is there anything hard to say?"
"...I don't dare to hide anything from the general. The Xue family is the daughter of the Wei family..." Pei Jun looked at Fei Qian's face and quickly added, "General Qi, if someone has a plot, he will definitely hide it.
Don’t retaliate! This is also the general’s concern. I hope the general will notice it clearly!”
Fei Qian was silent for a moment and said, "You might as well speak frankly."
"Thank you, General..." Pei Jun bowed his head again, then straightened up and said, "The Wei family is arrogant, seeking self-destruction, and cannot blame others. However, there are many marriages in the land east of the river... Therefore, if the general allows it, I am willing to accept the daughter of the clan.
, it can calm the hearts of the nobles in Hedong..."
The hearts of the nobles in Hedong?
The main reason is An Pei’s heart, right?
Just this, and it could still be related to the Hedong nobles, Fei Qian couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
However, is this step finally necessary?
The Wang family in Taiyuan had expressed their intention to marry Fei Qian before, but at that time, on the one hand, Wang Yun had just died, and those with better status in the family had to pay filial piety to Wang Yun. On the other hand, Fei Qian was not Zhengxi at that time.
The general was just a lieutenant general, so the Wang family was a little bit too big. Unexpectedly, Wang Hei's incident happened again not long after. Under the repeated blows, the Wang family itself was in chaos. As a result, they were a little afraid of Fei sneaking through.
Strong, leading to foreign surnames overriding the Wang family, causing the Taiyuan Wang family to completely sink, and then let it go...
Unexpectedly, Pei Jun will be the matchmaker again this time. Of course, this is just an expression of intention. If Fei Qian nods, the subsequent matchmaking will naturally not be done by Pei Jun at his age, but will send someone else to do it safely.
.
Speaking of which, Fei Qian really doesn't like this kind of blind marriage, and did the Hedong Pei family have any famous women during the Three Kingdoms period? If it was the level of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Fei Qian would just follow it with closed eyes.
But if you give me a pig kidney face, it will inevitably give you a headache...
But what Pei Jun said is not completely unreasonable.
Most of the Hedong gentry have marriage alliances. If they accept this girl, it means that Fei Qian does not want to escalate the situation. It is also a goodwill signal for the Pei family and other Hedong gentry.
"You don't avoid relatives when you promote a good person, but you are like Qi Huangyang when you serve first..." Fei Qian said slowly looking at Pei Jun.
Qi Xi asked the old man, and the Marquis of Jin asked him to recommend worthy people to succeed him. Qi Xi recommended his enemies, relatives, and subordinates, and did not reject the talents of these people because of his personal relationships. Used here, Fei Qian's
Not all of the words were meant to praise Pei Jun, but also expressed another level of meaning...
Pei Jun was also a smart man, and immediately said: "I know that when a general chooses a person, he needs to have both ability and political integrity, so if he is not a capable person, he would not dare to recommend him..."
"..." Fei Qian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "In this way, I will write a handwritten letter, and you can take it back..." Considering that the Pei family is somewhat close to the Fei family in origin, and
The autumn harvest is coming again, and the sooner Hedong is stabilized, the better it will be, so don’t be too cautious.
Pei Jun was so happy that he couldn't help but leave the table and pay homage. "A handwritten letter", which means that Pei sent to Fei Qiu. Although there is no substantial change in the identity of this Pei's daughter, it does not change the identity of Pei's daughter in Hedong.
