Facing the poor relatives of the Pei family in the north who had not taken any action before and even firmly supported Yu Wenxian, but now that the disaster was approaching and began to beg for a way out, the Pei family members in the south had helplessness and sympathy, but little intention to support them.
Xiao Shilian pointed at him and smiled without saying anything.
The implication is that you, Master Pei, are not honest either.
If the Wenxi Pei family suddenly joins forces with the Pei clan in the south, then although the Wenxi Pei clan will become more powerful, it will still be difficult to get rid of the identity of the Hedong family, which is certainly not a good thing for the Pei clan in the south. Although Pei Zilie has always been generous, this
Of course it was dispensable, but Pei Zilie couldn't ignore the opinions of the rest, including Pei Ji, Pei Yun and other young people.
What's more, everything is still undecided. No one knows whether the Wenxi Pei family will cause any trouble and implicate the Pei people in the south.
It would be better for the princes in the south to keep a certain distance from my family.
Li Xingchen gently stroked the short beard on his chin and said with a smile: "The world is uncertain, and those with ambitions should work together. I think it is a good thing that Pei Ju can put aside his past grudges and take the initiative to contact the big man. What the big man needs most now is talents.
For a family like the Wenxi Pei family, they should not reject anyone who comes, so that they can reflect the great man's thirst for talents."
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie both breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty's attitude towards the Hebei family has always been ambiguous. As the Yuan Cong family, they must be consistent with His Majesty. His Majesty's attitude has not been revealed. Naturally, it is difficult for them to express their stance. This is not the case before.
Some people tentatively inquired about the attitude of the Yuan Cong Department in order to guess His Majesty's attitude. However, because His Majesty himself did not reveal what he really thought, the civil and military officials of the Yuan Cong Department were helpless.
If you don't say it, it will make people feel that you are superior and unhuman. If you say it, then if what you say is different from what His Majesty thinks, wouldn't it be even more of a slap in the face?
Now that Li Xingchen has finally made his attitude clear, it is naturally to let Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie spread the word first so that everyone can have an idea.
Li Xingchen's "never reject anyone who comes" can naturally show His Majesty's broad mind if he says it. However, everyone also knows that Li Xingchen will definitely not "reject no one who comes". Li Xingchen can indeed not refuse Wenxi Pei.
, with this line of relationship between the Southern people, the Wenxi and Pei clan's loyalty can still be guaranteed, not to mention their rich family background. Of course, Li Xingchen wants to take the Wenxi and Pei clan into his pocket, but that does not mean that everyone in the north
, whether it is the essence or the dross, they will be collected.
If you want to be an obedient citizen under the rule of the Han Dynasty, you can do it, but if you want to retain your position or even advance to a higher level, then think about it.
What's more, His Majesty's willingness to accept all comers does not necessarily mean that you will be reused as soon as you come, but that Li Xingchen will not kill them all and is willing to retain their current official positions. As for the rest, everything must be
Follow the rules of the big man.
Taking the Wenxi Pei family as an example, the Pei family's land will definitely be nationalized and redistributed like other aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty. Even the family property will have to be reviewed, and the Pei family's descendants will not be able to continue
To enjoy the benefits brought by the nine-level Zhongzheng system, if they want to enter the officialdom, they must study in an academy and then participate in the imperial examination.
If it were the original situation, the aristocratic families would definitely not accept such conditions, because in addition to saving their lives, it would also completely throw away everything that the ancestors have worked hard for generation after generation.
But now, they have no choice at all. Hundreds of old and weak people in the whole clan cannot all be pushed to the butcher's knife of the big man. Facing the powerful man, they can only compromise.
Even if Li Xingchen didn't mention this condition, Pei Ju already knew it very well when he took the initiative to meet Xu Shanxin and expressed his thoughts.
"But the foundation of the country of the Han Dynasty cannot be shaken." Li Xingchen said again in a confused manner, "Come and drink!"
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie both smiled and raised their glasses.
They knew that Li Xingchen was reminding them that abolishing the aristocratic family system was the foundation for the survival and stability of the Han Dynasty, and no one needed to be persuaded or relented. After that, the two led their troops northward into Hebei and Hedong, and they would inevitably have to fight with people like Wenxi and Pei.
When dealing with families, you must not be soft-hearted at that time.
At night, General Hussar's Mansion.
"How much have you drunk?" Yuan Lexhang looked at the drunk Li Xingchen and felt very dizzy. Li Lian'er called her over and said that His Majesty was drunk and it was best to come and take care of him, so Yuan Lexhang hurry up.
He brought Yu Chizhen over, and also asked Cai Rong to be summoned in the hospital, for fear that something might happen to His Majesty.
But now it seems that it is unnecessary. These three guys are throwing dice around a small table to guess the size, having a great time. Xiao Shilian has the most grumpy temper and refuses to admit defeat. He even slaps his own general's seal all the way after losing.
It was placed on the table. Fortunately, Pei Zilie still had some sense and stuffed it back for him.
Li Lian'er said helplessly: "These three have been drinking for three hours. They are just chatting, bragging and gambling here. Everyone thinks they are the best."
Pei Zilie's wife Xiao Qing also came with someone: "How is it?"
Li Lian'er snorted: "It's almost like putting us on the table to gamble."
Xiao Qing chuckled: "Even if His Majesty and the Cavalry General have the guts to gamble with their wives and children, I'm afraid the Cavalry General wouldn't dare, right?"
"You Qing'er, how dare you speak to me?" Li Lian'er smiled and twisted Xiao Qing's waist, and the two of them were fooling around.
In the lobby, Li Xingchen did not look like an emperor at all. He shook the dice bucket in his hand violently and said with a smile: "Quickly tell me, is it big or small?"
"No more gambling, no more gambling. If you continue to gamble, this month's salary will be gone!" Xiao Shilian waved his hands repeatedly. He lost more, while Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie both made a lot.
Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie both laughed. Pei Zilie stretched out his hand and tapped Xiao Shilian: "What are you afraid of? The worst thing you can do is eat soft rice! Isn't it possible that the eldest princess's salary can't support you!"
Xiao Shilian shook his head: "It is not a man's behavior to eat soft food."
Xiao Qing, who was outside the door, held Li Lian'er's hand and said with a smile: "Listen, your man is still very brave."
"Hasn't this family been supported by this palace's salary all these years? All his salary has been used to subsidize the soldiers." Li Lian'er gritted his teeth, "Now he is shouting loudly."
"Your Majesty once said that a man's mouth is a liar." Yuan Lexhang covered his mouth and chuckled at this moment, "It is reasonable for General Hussar to brag in front of his good brothers. Princess, wait and see, Husband
Doesn’t General Cavalry no longer gamble?”
"Then for the last time, big or small?" Li Xingchen's eyes widened.
"Big!" Xiao Shilian's answer was simple.
Yuan Lexiang had a black line on his face and wanted to eat what he just said.
