Chapter 299 San Niangzi really deserves to be my phoenix girl
"Hahaha……"
Sitting in his office at Zhaode Palace, His Majesty Li Yuan held a battle report and laughed heartily. He was very happy. His old face, which was already full of wrinkles, now turned into a chrysanthemum with joy.
At this moment, the door curtain was heard and Pei Ji wandered in from the outside.
"Sage, why are you so happy?"
"Pei Qing, you came just in time!"
After Li Yuan saw his good friend appear, he became more and more happy, waved to him cordially, and then handed over the battle report in his hand.
"Come and take a look, this is the military report that the Third Lady just handed over."
"Sister-in-law?"
Pei Ji took the military report with some curiosity, glanced at it a few times, and immediately took a breath and showed a very shocked expression.
"Sanniangzi actually cooperated with Liu Shirang of Yanmen Pass and defeated the 30,000 Turkic army. Now the troops have reached Mayi, and they can drive the Turks out of Bingzhou..."
"How about it, Pei Qing, you can't think of it!"
Seeing Pei Ji's expression as if his jaw was about to drop, His Majesty Li Yuan showed a proud look on his face. He twirled his beard with his hand and said happily.
"Sanniang Zi is really my phoenix daughter. Her military skills are as good as Yu Erlang's. It's a pity that she is a girl. Otherwise..."
Seeing that his good friend Li Yuan was in a good mood, but still trying to make a regretful expression, Pei Ji had a smile on his face, but he curled his lips fiercely in his heart.
The Third Lady is a woman, of course you say so!
If the third lady were a man, then the Three Kingdoms of the Crown Prince, King Qin, and King Qi would instantly turn into a war between the four kingdoms. By then, if you want to laugh, saint, it would be too late for you to cry.
"The saint's words are somewhat inconsiderate to my ministers."
Pei Ji deliberately made a sour expression on his face.
"The prince is kind, the king of Qin is brave, the king of Qi is brave... The third lady is both civil and military, and she can be called a hero among women. Saint, your children are all such outstanding people, but you still have some shortcomings and let me, my old minister, give birth to two children.
How should such a stupid and mediocre person respond to your Majesty's words?"
"Pei Qing is too modest, too modest..."
After hearing Pei Ji's words, His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hands in a good mood.
"The children of the Qing family are also good. The lawyer is kind and honest, and the mage... is kind and honest. Well, in short, they are all good!"
Pei Ji blinked silently.
Although I say that my two children are dogs, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I see that my good friend hesitates for a long time before he comes up with a kind and honest word when talking about his son.
"Besides, my child is not as good as you said."
His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hand casually and continued.
"It was fine when they were children. They were all willing to listen to me, Aye. Now they all have strong wings and have their own plans..."
When he said this, His Majesty Li Yuan didn't know what he thought of, and his smiling face turned cold.
"Just like Erlang, he was restless even after returning to Chang'an, reaching out everywhere. In order to save him some dignity, I pretended not to know whose hands the money of the Fahua Sect monks ended up, but he was still not satisfied. He teased him all day long.
He asked his henchmen to write to me, asking him to go out and lead the army, what? He doesn’t feel at ease staying with me, Aye, right?"
Listening to His Majesty Li Yuan's complaints, Pei Ji lowered his head silently, looked at his nose and heart, and said nothing.
"And Sanlang is also a naughty and mischievous person. I heard that he has been throwing banquets every day since he returned to Chang'an, and most of the guests are officers of the Twelve Guards. Pei Qing, do you know this?"
"this one?"
Pei Ji hesitated and hesitated for a moment.
He did know this matter, because King Qi did not do this matter quietly, but made a big noise, lest the world would not know that he was doing it, not to mention him, even the grooms in his house knew about it.
"Forget it, I won't force you, Pei Qing..."
When he saw his good friend groaning in silence, His Majesty Li Yuan knew what the other party meant, and he waved his hand impatiently.
"This traitor, Pei Qing, what do you think he wants to do in such a hurry to bribe my twelve guards?"
A wry smile appeared on Pei Ji's face.
His Majesty Li Yuan's question is really difficult to answer. What does your third son want to do by bribing your guards? Do you still need me to tell you?
How do you think my answer would not be considered as instigating the relationship between your father and son?
However, the internal slander was the internal slander. On the surface, Pei Ji still had to go against his conscience and please the saint's wishes.
"saint……"
Pei Ji slightly arched his hands and replied seriously.
"In my opinion, King Qi's move should be Xiangzhuang's sword dance, with the intention of Peigong."
“It’s intended for Pei Gong!”
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan seemed to have a sudden realization.
"Yes, Erlang is the general of the Twelve Guards. Sanlang did this just to let everyone know that Erlang can't even control his own men... Pei Qing, you really have an insight into people's hearts."
"Don't dare!"
Pei Ji bowed his hands again.
"I'm just a fool who makes a lot of mistakes and only gets one thing now and then. How dare you say that you have insight into people's hearts?"
"well……"
His Majesty Li Yuan sighed again.
"That's it for Erlang and Sanlang. Da Lang is more of a headache for me..."
Pei Ji lowered his head again and began to listen to His Majesty Li Yuan's chatter with eyes and nose.
"The three ladies helped Da Lang defeat Liu Heitai once in Hebei. As long as he takes advantage of the victory and pursues it, he will be able to pacify Hebei.
But he was lucky. Not only did he delay and watch Liu Heitai become bigger again, he also ordered Shi Wanbao and the others to stay where they were. As a result, after Liu Heitai calmed down, he first went to Cangzhou and then to Hengzhou, and even I
The governors and princes were all dead...
Moreover, he brought the battle situation in Hebei to me like this, and he actually had the nerve to write to me, saying that he would defeat Liu Heitao steadily and step by step. Does he think that I, Aye, have never been on the battlefield? Can he let me do this?
He deceives at will?
Let's look at Sanniangzi again. Since she sent out her troops, she has won four battles and four victories, annihilating four thousand Turkic troops, and now she has cooperated with the Yanmen garrison to defeat thirty thousand Turkic troops.
If I had sent Sanniangzi to Hebei last year, Hebei would have been pacified by now.
I don’t understand, they are all brothers and sisters born from the same mother, why there is such a huge difference between them.”
Pei Ji raised his head, silently looked at Li Yuan who was already in a certain mood, and said nothing.
Although his good friend now looked disgusted when talking about his eldest son, Pei Ji knew from the fact that he pinched his nose and acknowledged the document sent by the prince that he was still inclined to let Li Jiancheng take over.
In other words, no matter what I say now, it will be wrong in the end.
After venting his anger, His Majesty Li Yuan's somewhat depressed mood seemed to have improved a lot.
"Pei Qing, I remember that the mage's child seems to be a captain now?"
"That's right!"
Although Pei Ji hadn't yet figured out why his good friend was talking about his son Master Pei, he still answered honestly.
"The dog is dull, and I have no intention of letting him achieve a successful career. As long as he can live a peaceful life, I will be satisfied."
"Pei Qing, this is your fault."
His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hand and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"With a family like yours, wouldn't it be possible for an heir to be of the third rank? Well, I'll arrange for the mage's son to go to Hebei to reward the army for me. When he comes back, I can use this reason to promote him to the first rank.
Grade, what do you think?"
"The saint is so kind..."
Pei Ji immediately looked like he was crying with gratitude, clasped his hands in front of his fists, and paid homage.
"I remember that even though my body was shattered into pieces, I can't repay it!"
"Pei Qing, don't be so polite..."
Li Yuan walked out from behind his desk, helped Pei Ji up with both hands, and whispered.
"I still have something for the mage to do."
"Sage, if you have anything to do, just tell me!"
Pei Ji had a look of righteousness on his face.
"Although Quanzi is dull in qualifications, he still knows the word loyalty."
"It's been said, it's been said..."
Not only did Li Yuan not let go of the hand holding Pei Ji, but he held it tighter.
"Pei Qing, you asked the mage to send a message to Dalang for me, saying that I knew that he did not dare to advance rashly before because he was worried that the Turks would cooperate with Liu Heitao from the side of Bingzhou to attack him, so I can be considerate of him.
But now that Sanniangzi has driven the Turks out of Bingzhou, he no longer has the vulnerability of being attacked from both sides. If he still doesn't have the guts to attack, don't blame me for replacing Erlang to supervise the army in Hebei."
Pei Ji felt His Majesty Li Yuan's tight grip on his arms and solemnly nodded in salute.
"Yes! I obey my orders!"
…
When Pei Ji, who was worried, went to court and returned to his mansion, he was surprised to find that the house was decorated with lanterns and colors everywhere, creating a joyful atmosphere.
"Huh?"
With a puzzled look on his face, Pei Ji waved and called an old servant over, pointing at the cheerful furnishings with his finger.
"How is this going?"
"Congratulations, head of the family, congratulations to the head of the family..."
The old servant also had a smile on his face and saluted Pei Ji happily.
"We have a great event in our house."
"What a happy event, what a happy event?"
Pei Ji frowned and thought about it carefully.
Could it be that these people knew about his plan to take a concubine?
No, taking a concubine is nothing new. How can we talk about such a happy event?
"Report to the head of the family!"
The old servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Pei Ji.
"Both the eldest husband and the younger husband are happy with their wives. Head of the house, you are going to be a grandfather!"
"What?"
After hearing what the old servant said, Pei Ji suddenly felt his head pounding and felt dizzy.
The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are both happy, and he will soon be a grandfather...
How come happiness comes so suddenly!
If there is no movement, there will be no movement from the two daughters-in-law. If there is movement, the two daughters-in-law will be happy at the same time...
Pei Ji held onto a pillar next to him with his hands to steady his body and calm down.
"Have you asked the imperial doctor to review it?"
"No need to ask a doctor..."
The old servant said happily.
"According to the two gentlemen, the person who diagnosed the pulse was the old god Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. I am sure that there will be no mistake. The eldest lady and the young lady are really happy. The head of the family, Pei family, has a successor!"
"Hahaha……"
After hearing the news, Pei Ji suddenly raised his beard and laughed.
"It's true that the sky has eyes. My Pei family is so lucky!" (To be continued)
