Chapter 843: Rich and Rich

"You also passed the imperial examination and became an official. There was a lot of discussion about you in the court. Some people said that you should not be promoted too early because you were young. Some people said that young heroes should be rewarded without hesitation."

Listening to His Majesty's words, Pei Xingjian frowned and became nervous, and his hands were already sweating.

Li Shimin slowly stood up, took two steps back and forth, and then raised his head and said: "Although you were admitted to the imperial examination, Zhang Yang arranged for you to go to the Anxi Protectorate back then. You managed the Western Region well, but you were able to make great changes.

Cannibal, do you think I should give you a civil service or a position in the army?"

This was the first time Pei Xingjian faced Tian Khan. He saluted again and said: "I will obey your Majesty's arrangements."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You are still young, and I cannot give you too high a position. The post of Chang'an Order has been vacant for a long time. Chang'an City also needs energetic and capable young people like you to look after it. What do you think?

"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your military exploits are outstanding. I cannot treat you lightly just because you are young. I will give you a bag of silver fish and the right to go to court to govern. I will not enter Lingyan Pavilion until you are thirty years old."

After that, several young eunuchs came forward with boxes, on which were new official uniforms and official seals, as well as silverbait bags, and three decrees.

Pei Xingjian saluted again.

Tian Khan's words continued, "As for Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, I will arrange positions for them in the army, so you can relax."

Pei Xingjian looked solemn and saluted again.

Li Shimin changed to a more comfortable sitting position and said again: "Tell me, how did you fight off the big cannibal."

Now that His Majesty has reached middle age, he no longer has the high spirits of the past. He just wants to hear about marching and fighting.

Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance stood in the Xingqing Hall for a long time. It was still freezing cold in Guanzhong, even colder than Persia.

The two of them were so cold that they had runny noses and were thrashing around.

Finally Pei Xingjian came out, and the two men stepped forward and asked, "What did your Majesty say?"

Pei Xingjian wiped the sweat from his palms with the hem of his clothes, "When a certain family arrived in front of His Majesty, they no longer remember what they said."

When he met Tian Khan for the first time, Pei Xingjian was very nervous, especially because His Majesty's aura that sometimes faded made him unconsciously impressed. No wonder all the heroes in the world had to sacrifice their lives for Tian Khan.

The prince and his father-in-law handed over two decrees, "Wang Xuance will be appointed as the leader of the military guard and serve as the school official, and Xue Rengui will be appointed as the Zuo Qianniu Guard as the Zuo Duwei. You can choose a day to take office. You can rest for a few days when you first return to Chang'an City."

The two thanked him again and again. His Majesty's reward was received, and Xue Rengui also had a formal position in the army.

Pei Xingjian walked along and said: "Brother Xue, don't think this is just the position of Zuo Duwei. Since the Tang Dynasty restructured Zhechong Prefecture, except for the generals below the Duwei of Zhechong Prefecture, they are deputy generals, and below the deputy generals are the left and right commanders."

Lieutenant, a general capable of managing thousands of men."

Wang Xuance, holding the decree in his hand, looked careless and said with a smile: "We will all serve in Chang'an City from now on. I may not have to go out to fight for many years."

Xue Rengui scratched his head naively. Since His Majesty has issued the decree, he can no longer have any worries.

As soon as he walked out of the Zhuque Gate, Wang Xuance said goodbye and left first.

"Does General Wang Xuance have a lover in Chang'an City?"

Hearing the childish words, Pei Xingjian looked down and saw an eleven-year-old boy.

He didn't ask any more questions and just continued walking, only to find that this boy had been following him.

Pei Xingjian's steps stopped, and so did his steps. He couldn't help but ask: "Boy, why are you following a certain family?"

Di Renjie whispered: "I have been entrusted by Mr. Xu to take Pei Duhu and General Xue to the new residence. All arrangements have been made."

Pei Xingjian said in a deep voice: "Since it was Minister Xu who had already made arrangements, why didn't you tell me and still follow along?"

Hearing this, Di Renjie explained: "I like to observe. It's interesting to see the pace of the two of you."

As soon as he regained consciousness, Di Renjie said again: "Please come with me, the house is in Dongshi."

Xue Rengui was a little hesitant, but when he saw that Pei Xingjian had already taken steps, he had no choice but to keep up.

Di Renjie walked and explained: "There is a lot of money in the East Market of Chang'an City. It takes a lot of money to buy one or two houses. Xu Shilang can't afford so much money. As for who paid for the money, what should you two think?"

I understand."

Pei Xingjian asked: "Lishan?"

Di Renjie smiled and said nothing, and led the two of them to a house, which was located at the downtown entrance of Dongshi. When he pushed the door in, there were already servants here.

Three or five attendants saluted and said, "I have met Mr. Pei."

Seeing this, Di Renjie, the little fat man, smiled awkwardly, "These people are said to be old people from Brother Pei's hometown. It's not easy for me to deal with them. After all, it is your family matter. Please make your own decision, Brother Pei."

Pei Xingjian looked at the faces that were about to cry, nodded and said: "They are indeed old people from a certain family in Hedong."

Hearing this, all the servants burst into tears. They led Pei Xingjian into the house and packed his luggage.

Di Renjie came to a warehouse. There was a big lock in the warehouse. He took out a key and opened the lock while preaching: "This is a Kit Kat lock made by Lishan. Each lock has a unique key."

Having said that, as soon as the door opened slightly, gold rolled down.

Pei Xingjian recognized this gold. It was the gold that was sent to Lishan in Persia. Judging from the amount of gold, Lishan had sent all of it.

I couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the one from Lishan, so I actually sent him back intact.

This house seems to have been rebuilt and prepared in advance?

So this gold has been placed in the warehouse a long time ago.

Di Renjie closed the door of the warehouse again, handed the key to Pei Xingjian, and said with emotion: "It's great. Brother Pei will never have to worry about spending money in his life."

From the beginning, Pei Duhu has changed his name to Brother Pei. This fat boy is obviously showing his good intentions.

Di Renjie said again: "Brother Xue, your house is on the other side of the street. I will take you there."

"No need, you tell a certain store the location and they will go there themselves."

"Oh." Di Renjie said with a smile: "The second one facing the street, with the vermilion door, is Brother Xue's house."

Pei Xingjian whispered: "Are you a disciple of Lishan?"

"Lishan doesn't look down on this boy's talent. His Highness King Jin said that someone like me cannot become a disciple of Lishan."

"Looking at your words and deeds, you are sensible and smart."

"The disciples of Lishan are extremely talented. Even the students of the Imperial College are inferior to them. Some people say that the Marquis of Lishan County has mastered the knowledge of immortals, and his knowledge can penetrate the world between heaven and earth."

Di Renjie sighed with some disappointment, "Anyone who can become a disciple of Lishan must be from either the Immortal Family or the Tian Family."

Pei Xingjian smiled heartily, "Okay!"

"Why is Brother Pei so happy?" Di Renjie's chubby face frowned and he asked again: "Could it be..."

Xue Rengui has gone to find his new home.

Pei Xingjian sat down calmly, raised his head and said, "To tell you the truth, Pei is already a disciple of Lishan."

The atmosphere was quiet for a long time. Di Renjie stretched his neck and slowly said in disbelief: "Ah?"

"Ahem." Pei Xingjian coughed again and added: "Only outer disciples cannot enter Lishan Mountain."

"Does Lishan still have this rule? Why did His Highness Prince Jin never say anything about it?"

"Is your boy willing to become Pei's disciple?"

"Wait a minute." Di Renjie clasped his fingers as if calculating seniority. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head vigorously, "I almost fell into Brother Pei's plan. It seems that I shouldn't stay here for a long time. I'll take my leave."

Pei Xingjian wanted to reach out and catch him, but this kid ran away quickly, and three or two of them ran away in the blink of an eye.

"My young master is back safely. I haven't been able to eat well and sleep well these past few years." The attendant at that time was crying like a man.

Pei Xingjian took a bowl of tea and drank it one sip at a time, "Are you planning a marriage for a certain family?"

"The villain dare not."

The attendant took a step back.

Pei Xingjian added: "Is it an elder? A certain family is over nineteen years old, so there is no need to bother those elders when getting married."

The attendant whispered: "Is the young master going to do something treasonous and unethical?"

"What a treason! If a certain family says you don't need it, then you won't use it."

"Sure enough, he has been living with the barbarians outside the customs for a long time. It's bad! It's bad! The young master learned bad things from them."

"Stop talking nonsense." Pei Xingjian said impatiently: "Bring us some food. A certain family is hungry and will bring the best food in Chang'an City."

Xue Rengui walked into this new house. He and his wife Liu pushed the door open together. The two of them saw that this house belonged to them, and they were a little scared.

It wasn't until I actually held the land deed in my hands that I realized that this was not a dream.

This courtyard is much larger than that of Pei Xingjian. In Chang'an City, the residences of the Dukes and dignitaries are larger than this.

Pei Xingjian had the most solid sleep and slept until noon the next day.

Pei Xingjian was walking on the streets of Chang'an City today, "It's true as Xu Jingzong said, the changes in Chang'an City are so great, you can't see them all in one day, and you can't see them all in one day."

"I heard that many dignitaries want to buy a piece of land in Qujiang Pool recently. It is said that the emperor gave it to His Royal Highness the Princess of Lishan. But now the court plans to buy it back and build a new one in Qujiang Pool.

Fangshi."

"The young master can buy a piece of land and it will become part of the family business in the future."

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said: "A certain family doesn't know how to be a merchant. I'm afraid they will suffer a loss. I have to ask that guy named Di Renjie about this."

"Why do you want to ask a child?"

Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "This child will definitely have great achievements in the future."

"How can I see it?"

"He is a good friend of King Jin, a disciple of Lishan."

"They are just good friends and have nothing to do with each other. I have arranged for people to investigate and found out that Di Renjie is Di Zhisun's son. Although the Di family is also a prominent family, compared with our Hedong Pei family, it is still not as prominent as the young master's family background."

"It has nothing to do with family background, but anyone who has anything to do with Lishan will become rich and powerful."

"The young master also said that he is an outer disciple of Lishan."

"That's natural. A certain family is naturally an outer disciple of Lishan. Without the guidance of the master from Lishan, how could a certain family be able to pacify the Western Turks and go beyond the Great Wall to aid Persia?"

The attendant could not refute for a while, and then said: "What the young master said is not unreasonable."

January of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan.

Because Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance had taken a break during the imperial court, it was not too grand when they returned and they did not enter the Taiji Hall. His Royal Highness was asked to greet them outside the city in person, and they were given sufficient courtesy.

This month, it snowed heavily again in Guanzhong.

An urgent report came from Tubo. Little Zampu from Tubo was seriously ill again. Fortunately, he survived without any danger. However, the urgent report said that little Zampu's health was getting worse and he would easily die prematurely in the future.

Gongri Gongzan began to look for Tubo's next Zampu, but Zampu's descendants only had one pregnant wife in the generation of Gongri Gongzan, which meant that Tubo's next Zampu was a fetus in a woman's belly.

.

Fortunately, Songtsen Gampo was still alive, otherwise the foundation of Tubo might have been shaken again.

On the bank of the Weishui River outside Lishan Village, Yuan Tiangang whispered: "Gongri Gongzan is too cruel and narrow-minded. People like him will not live long."

Xiao Qingqing asked in confusion: "How long does Yuan Taoist think that little Zampu can live?"

Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and thought.

Xiao Qingqing added: "It can't be calculated. If Taoist Yuan can calculate it, the world will be really in chaos."

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang was so amused by Xiao Qingqing's words that he stroked his beard and laughed, "An old Taoist is not as good as a child. You live a clear life."

She picked up a stone and threw it into the water, "My father said that Tubo Zampu is not important, but Tubo talents are important. Sooner or later the Zampu lineage will be cut off."

"That's such a pity."

"Daozhang Yuan, you are wrong again." Xiao Qingqing continued: "Dad said that many things in this world follow the trend of the times. If Lishan Mountain has really become a fairy mountain, it is because people need an immortal."

Yuan Tiangang asked: "Why do people need an immortal, but he is not an immortal."

"Because this is the choice of the world, and the collapse of aristocratic families is also the choice of the world. Just like more and more people use soap to bathe now, cheap soap has entered thousands of households, and no one will think about the disgusting soap anymore.

Already."

"The people on Lishan Mountain have become immortals, which is people's sustenance for beauty. Lishan Mountain is the beauty in the mortal world. The world needs this beauty. Even if my father is only a mortal body, my father will get angry and suffer from old problems."

"Lishan can make firearms to help Tian Khan open up the frontier. Lishan can also benefit Guanzhong, benefit the country, and make Guanzhong rich. This is my father's ideal and the ideal of millions of people. Therefore, Lishan has become a fairy mountain, so

When it is the Tibetan people’s choice to cut off the Zanpu lineage of Tubo, what is the regret?”

Xiao Qingqing bowed slightly and said playfully: "The little girl didn't learn much, which made Taoist Yuan laugh."

The cold wind made the old Taoist robes rustle. He stroked his beard and said slowly: "When the old Taoist asked questions for the test, you teased me. After thinking about it, it turns out that Zhang Yang is not an immortal, and his children are nothing more than that.

It's you who's causing it."

"Oh, Taoist Yuan finally saw through it." Xiao Qingqing looked surprised.

Yuan Tiangang was both angry and funny. He couldn't lose his temper with this girl. Instead, he was infected by her smile.

"My little girl has been busy with her studies recently and may not be able to study with the Taoist priest."

"That's all." Yuan Tiangang compromised. He sat down and whispered: "Can Lishan open a Taoist temple?"

Xiao Qingqing replied: "No."
