Whether it is the Hongnong Yang family or the Longxi Li family, these famous families in Guanzhong together may have the ability to compete with the Wenxi Pei family. This big family, which has gradually shown its strength in troubled times, is still there.
The family business is on the rise and the future is promising.
Therefore, Pei Ju stood here with his waist straight, and he had enough confidence.
Even Yu Wenxian had to show some courtesy to him, of course, mainly to show courtesy to the huge power standing behind him.
In contrast, when Cui Shiji followed Pei Ju, his waist was not so straight.
After all, the Cui family of Qinghe, where Cui Shiji was born, is not as prestigious as the Wenxi Pei family.
Of course, any big family that can be remembered by future generations has its own glorious and glorious history.
The Cui family of Qinghe is certainly no exception.
This family became famous very early. It was already a first-class family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cui Yan, a celebrity in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was one of the representatives. Later, Cui Hao, one of the best in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was born in the family.
The mastermind brought the Cui family of Qinghe to the top all of a sudden. But after Cui Hao, although Cui Xiu and others also emerged, the Cui family of Qinghe still declined irreversibly, so much so that today it is no longer even comparable to the rise of Wen Xipei.
The family name is not even the eldest among the Shandong aristocratic families.
Of course, a hundred-footed insect can die but never freeze. No one dares to underestimate the potential of the Qinghe Cui family. Historically, during the Tang Dynasty, people classified the world's aristocratic families into five surnames and seven looks, and the Qinghe Cui family was still the best among them.
By.
But at least now the Cui family of Qinghe does not have so much power, so they naturally have to follow the footsteps of the Pei family in many matters. This can be seen from the positions of Pei Ju in the front and Cui Shiji in the back.
The purpose of their coming was also very simple, which was to persuade Yu Wenxian to avoid directly sending troops to support Yang Jian.
Xu Shanxin, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, had clearly expressed the hope of the Han Dynasty court and His Majesty the Emperor that the two families could play some role in preventing Yuwen Xian from using troops. Of course, these two families could not remain indifferent.
Nowadays, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see the general trend of the world. The rise of the Han Dynasty is overwhelming and irresistible. Especially since the Han Dynasty also has many new weapons in his hands that Yu Wenxian has not figured out yet, which can completely offset the power in Yu Wenxian's hands.
The Xianbei cavalry had an overwhelming advantage over the southern infantry. Therefore, in the subsequent competition in the Central Plains, everyone knew who would win and who would lose.
In terms of their sense of belonging to the nation and bloodline, the Xianbei people have begun to gravitate towards Li Xingchen on a large scale. Han Chinese with pure blood, such as the Cui family of Qinghe and the Pei family of Wenxi, naturally have no loyalty to the Yuwen family.
Therefore, we are still on the side of the Yuwen clan just because as the actual ruler of Hebei, Shanxi and other places, the Yuwen clan has inextricably linked interests with these big families.
Before they can obtain real benefits from Li Xingchen, these families will naturally not be so easy to "cut the knot with a quick knife" and directly cut off contact with the Yuwen family.
Now, Shandong aristocratic families such as the Wenxi Pei family and the Qinghe Cui family are at least still trying to maintain their superficial loyalty. They have not yet reached the point of "being in Cao Ying and feeling in Han", but they don't mind conveying it through various methods first.
Use your own goodwill to avoid "the city gate catching fire and causing disaster to the fish in the pond".
Of course they would not refuse to help the Han to stop Yu Wenxian and reduce the Han's losses in the battle north.
After all, this will not directly harm the current interests of Yu Wenxian, and naturally it will not harm their interests. As for the future, who knows whether he and Yu Wenxian will still have a relationship at that time, maybe they have turned against each other.
"What's the reason for the two ministers coming to see you?" Yu Wenxian said.
He could guess more or less, so there was obvious resentment and impatience in his tone. The news of the fire in the Jinyang granary and the two guys coming to the door were just a matter of front and back, which made Yu Wenxian even
We have to wonder whether these two families themselves played some disgraceful role in the fire in Jinyang.
However, Pei Ju didn't pay attention to Yu Wenxian's tone. He knew that whether he said it or not, Yu Wenxian would definitely not look good on him. After hearing about Pei's and Xu Shanxin's interactions, no matter how cautious he was, after all,
If the news leaks out, it's impossible for Yu Wenxian not to know about it.
Now Pei Ju is gambling, betting that Yu Wenxian will not dare to die.
If Yu Wenxian does anything to the Wenxi Pei family, then his rule in the north will fall apart very quickly. Therefore, even if he knows that the Pei family and the Cui family have already begun to have other ideas,
Yu Wenxian may not necessarily have the courage to betray him.
Especially now that Yuwen has become a prisoner, as the only remaining tycoon of the Yuwen family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Xian must be careful to maintain the current situation. He can no longer act as recklessly as he did when he was on the battlefield. Everything must be done.
The starting point is to maintain the rule of the Yuwen clan rather than to gratify and grudge.
Looking at Pei Ju who was still smiling and seemed indifferent to his words, Yu Wenxian wanted to draw his sword and kill him directly, but he couldn't, couldn't.
How difficult it is to be a real king!
Yu Wenxian clenched his fists.
Pei Ju spoke at this time: "Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness is planning to use Jinyang's troops to go north to reinforce Yang Jian who is trapped in the isolated city. May I ask Your Highness, is this true?"
I'm afraid you know better than me whether you take it seriously or not, right?
Yu Wenxian said calmly: "Seriously."
After a pause, and before Pei Ju could speak, he said directly: "Although Yang Jian and I are mortal enemies, I still understand the truth behind death. If Yang Jian is also defeated, then I will be the only one left in the Nine Provinces.
With Li Xingchen, the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou that I currently occupy is no match for Li Xingchen who controls most of the country, so I think that I must reinforce Yang Jian even if I take risks."
"But has His Highness ever thought about the possible consequences of this, and what kind of losses will be caused if we fail?" Pei Ju had long expected that Yu Wenxian would say this, so he didn't panic.
I was so busy that I pushed back.
Cui Shiji, who was next to him, also spoke up: "Yes, Your Highness, the cavalry under King Chen is the last truly combatable force we have to deal with the threat of the Southern Barbarians. They must not be destroyed. And if the Southern Barbarians get hold of something, it will be very serious."
It may turn into a full-scale war, so what’s the point of us negotiating so hard with the Nanman before and even ceding Huayin?”
"Your Highness, think twice about your future plans!"
"Your Highness, think twice!"
The two of them talked to each other and talked freely.
