Unexpectedly, Pei Ji stood up and glared at Pei Yun angrily, then waved his hand: "Xu Jun, you'd better not listen to some children's nonsense. Now that I'm going to Bashu, it would be best if I could test Li Xingchen's attitude. If I can't
Xu Jun doesn't need to blame himself when he gets an accurate answer. After asking all over the court, there are not many people who have such ability."
Although he didn't know why Pei Ji refused to allow Pei Yun to continue speaking, Xu Shanxin could only express his gratitude. At least Pei Ji invited him in and answered a few of his questions, which was better than Xu Ling just thanking the guests behind closed doors.
Pei Yun wanted to say more, but when he saw his father's sharp eyes, he quickly shut his mouth obediently.
He knew very well the consequences of his father getting angry.
Pei Ji walked straight to the door and made a gesture of invitation. Xu Shanxin also knew that this was someone who was going to see off a guest. Of course, he couldn't stay here any longer. At that moment, he didn't hesitate much and walked over with a flick of his sleeves.
.
When Xu Shanxin walked by Pei Ji, Pei Ji whispered: "Mr. Xu, when you go to Bashu, you must be careful and consider everything carefully."
Xu Shanxin was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, and nodded solemnly.
Watching Xu Shanxin leave, Pei Ji sighed softly. He knew that he didn't help Xu Shanxin much in the end. What he should say was just to the point. How much Xu Shanxin can understand next depends on him.
.
In this troubled world, Pei Ji doesn't have the kindness to save everyone.
Pei Yun walked over quickly and said with some surprise: "Dad, now Li Xingchen still has not established a stable foothold in Bashu. Even some remote state capitals can only rely on the original officials of the Zhou people for management. There must be many people who are dissatisfied or suspicious of him.
, Although Xu Shanxin is not a smart and powerful person, if he shows the slightest intention to win over, people will naturally come to his door eagerly. By then, Bashu may become a mess first. This is what the child thinks
Relatively reliable...”
"That's enough." Pei Ji said calmly at this time, interrupting Pei Yun.
Pei Yun was startled for a moment, a little confused: "What on earth is daddy worried about? He didn't let the child say it before when Xu Jun was here. Now that there are only two of us, why don't we allow the child to explain it?"
At this time, Pei Yun was obviously a little angry. He still had some confidence in his strategy. Although his father was an elder, he should listen to what he had to say. It turned out that his father was not such an unreasonable person.
"You'd better keep these words in your own stomach," Pei Ji's voice became even colder, "It's best not to tell others."
"This..." Pei Yun was even more confused. He didn't believe what his father said was "harmful to one's morality". This was just a very common way to sow discord in officialdom. When Li Xingchen was marching to fight, something like this
Tactics are the most commonly used. Now we treat people the same way we treat them. Logically speaking, there is no problem.
Xu Shanxin, who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for so long, may not have thought of such a method for Xu Shanxin, who is new to the officialdom and has a straightforward personality, but for Pei Ji, who is already in a high position, even if it is unthinkable, it is impossible not to accept it.
Especially when he found out the moral reasons, it was really confusing. Pei Yun didn't believe that his father was considering any moral and ethical issues at this time.
Pei Ji sighed softly and looked over: "My child, what you think is not wrong. It should be enough for Li Xinchen to use it, but such a conspiracy should not be used on Li Xinchen. Do you understand?
"
Pei Yun was stunned for a moment and looked straight into his father's eyes. After a long time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Dad, you have already begun to think about it after such a long time. If His Majesty finds out, he will be spared the death penalty and will be punished with life.
It’s hard to escape.”
This time Pei Ji didn't answer, he just looked up at the sky.
April and May are the rainy seasons in the south of the Yangtze River, and now it looks like another rain is coming.
Sometimes, it is not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day. Now Li Xinchen has been able to open up such a situation on his own, and his heroic posture has been fully exposed. Who can guarantee that Li Xinchen will not become famous in the future and truly become the world leader, and when the time comes
When it comes to settling the bill, Pei Yun and even Pei Ji, who had given Xu Shanxin bad ideas, would probably have to walk around in pain.
Pei Ji was obviously unwilling to take such a risk.
In troubled times, Pei Ji's priority was of course not how to preserve the dynasty, but how to preserve his own family. As long as the family's power and status were not affected, it actually made no difference which king he was loyal to.
Throughout the Southern Dynasty, four or five dynasties changed, and the families in power also took turns. The once powerful families have now disappeared in the smoke of history. Therefore, Pei Ji asked himself that he had no evil thoughts and did not have so many grudges.
Loyalty, what he wants is nothing more than "not to be broken by jade, but to be intact."
New forces are rising, and the Pei family in the south of the Yangtze River has been in trouble for several generations. In Pei Ji's generation, it finally improved. It could not be said that it was glorious and disappeared in a few years. In this way, Pei Ji felt ashamed of his ancestors.
It seemed that it was time to have a talk with Li Xinchen. At least now Li Xinchen should be more interested in the situation in Jiankang Mansion. Thinking of this, Pei Ji turned and walked directly to the study, not noticing that his son's face behind him was a little strange.
Pei Yun clenched and unclenched his hands, somewhat unwillingly. His father was thinking about his future. He felt there was nothing wrong with it, but letting Li Xingchen go like this made Pei Yun feel despised and suppressed.
We are all young people of the same age. If he were to be in Li Xinchen's position and given Li Xinchen's opportunities, who knows whether he would do better than Li Xinchen?
It's a pity that due to fate, I didn't have such an opportunity after all.
Pei Yun gritted his teeth when he thought of the young man in white clothes who molested the minister on Stone Mountain.
Is Li Xingchen really better than herself?
——————————————-
The wind blew in through the half-closed window, and the candlelight swayed slightly.
And Li Xingchen was writing the appointment orders one by one. In fact, these orders of Li Xingchen were a bit arrogant. As the general of Zhenxi, Li Xingchen was not qualified to intervene in local civil affairs, let alone the appointment of local officials.
But now everyone knows that Bashu is already ruled by Li Xingchen alone. Even if he can create some auspiciousness and then "comply with the destiny" to ascend the throne, it is probably not impossible - will Nanchen and Northern Zhou
Joining forces to attack is another matter. At least there should not be many people in Bashu who raise objections.
Of course, Li Xinchen knew very well that now was not the time for him to think about this. After all, Bashu was just a foundation place, not a place that Li Xinchen could not go out in this life.
