"Why?"

Pei Ju sensitively captured the emotional fluctuations of this grandson. He was a little surprised. How could he suddenly not want to do it if he did well?

"What happened? Tell me."

Pei Qingsong's lips shivered slightly. Under the eyes of the owner of the family, he lowered his head timidly and whispered: "The grandson took this position and caused disagreement within the family. The grandson did not want to be the Pei family.

sinner."

"How could you become the sinner of the Pei family?"

Pei Ju's eyes became more and more severe, and his dissatisfaction and anger spread, but he still restrained this anger. He attached great importance to the emotional fluctuations of this clan. This is not as simple as his eldest grandson or second grandson who did not want to take the imperial examination.

The position held by the clan grandson is so important that it is related to the future of the Pei family, and he dare not take it lightly.

Under the harsh questioning of the head of the family, Pei Qingsong could not avoid it. The cold sweat on his forehead kept oozing out. He regretted his misunderstanding, but he had already said it, and he could not stop anymore. Pei Qingsong lowered his head deeply and used only one kind of thing.

He and Pei Ju heard the tone, saying: "The truth is that, the eldest grandson and the second grandson should be allowed to take this position. I am just a relative grandson of the Pei family, but I hold an important position. How can the Pei family not be in chaos?"

"Bang! Pei Ju slapped the table hard, and a burst of anger suddenly rose in his heart. He could no longer control the annoyance in his heart and shouted loudly: "Who told you this, is it Xiao Shan?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Shenjun. He just took me to drink when he saw that his grandson was in a bad mood."

"Who told you that, tell me!"

Pei Ju's voice was loud, and everyone outside the door heard it. Butler Liu stood outside the door. His heart trembled. It had been a long time since he heard the master get angry like this. He didn't dare to stay at the door anymore and turned around and left in a hurry.

Just as he turned the small door, he met Changsun Pei Jin who was walking hurriedly. He quickly grabbed Pei Jin's arm and whispered: "The old master is angry, so don't go."

"Why?" Pei Jin ran strangely.

"I don't know either. The master of the hometown is anxious to see Mr. Qingsong, so I'll find him, well! Maybe it's because Mr. Qingsong had drunk wine."

Pei Jin frowned slightly, and his grandfather was anxious to find Pei Qingsong. Did something big happen in the court?

"I see!"

Pei Jin slowed down and walked slowly towards his grandfather's study. He wanted to know what happened?

When Butler Liu saw that the eldest son still walked towards the study, he was worried and turned around and followed him back.

In the study, Pei Ju was like an old leopard. Although she was old, her anger was not to be looked down upon. He stood up and looked at Pei Qingsong with a stern look. The majesty of the head of the family was in the face of Pei Qingsong, a different house.

Body.

Pei Qingsong made a fuss in his heart, and he took the initiative and plucked up the courage to say, "No one told me that this is obvious. Since I joined the military office, the ministers in the court have been talking about it and said that I have no qualifications, but rely on my family.

The momentum, every time the Wang Xiangguo meets me, he will find various reasons to scold me. Even if I walk too fast, I say that I have lost my gentlemanly manners. It’s fine if outsiders say it, but everyone in the family

I was so cold to me that I ignored me, and even moved out of my clan brother who lived with me, and regarded me as a plague god, grandfather. Do you know the pain of such great pressure?"

Speaking of this, Pei Qingsong finally couldn't help crying.

Pei Ju's eyes softened. He really didn't expect Pei Qingsong to be under such great pressure. Pei Ju sat down again and said to him softly: "Just just be your account room to join the army, don't have any ideas, too

Don’t consider resigning. Just remember one thing. I firmly support you. At least the court’s comments on you are mostly out of jealousy. When the time is a little longer, no one will dare to offend you easily.”

Pei Qingsong wiped away his tears and nodded, "My grandson remembers it."

Pei Ju smiled again and asked him, "Last time you went back to bring your wife and children to Taiyuan, why did you come back as single in the end?"

Pei Qingsong lowered his head and said for a while: "The grandson has no place to accommodate them, mother and son. He wants to save some money and buy a house."

Pei Ju pondered for a moment, then got up and walked into the bookcase to take out a jade plaque and handed it to Pei Qingsong, "There is a small house covering an area of ​​three acres in Wangwu Lane in the west of the city, which is also the property of the Pei family. You can use this jade plaque to the account room.

Get the key, get another thousand taels of silver to clean up the house. I will send someone to bring your wife and children tomorrow. The King of Chu trusts you very much. Don’t let him down. Drink less and work hard every day.

You can only go home after he leaves, do you understand?"

Pei Qingsong's tears came out again. He kowtowed three times and said in a trembling voice: "The head of the family will love you, and the grandson will remember it in his heart."

Pei Qingsong left, Pei Ju stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, quietly staring at the stars in the night sky. At this time, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and the past situation seemed to be back in front of him, vividly in his mind.

In the fourth year of Renshou, when he discovered that Yang Yuanqing had a huge value hidden in him for the sixth time, he gradually bet the fate of his family on him. Facts proved that his bet back then was completely correct. Yang Yuanqing had already dominated the Sui Dynasty.

Sooner or later, the fog will control the whole world.

But with the establishment of the New Sui Dynasty, Pei Ju slowly felt that Yang Yuanqing and the Pei family had a gap and began to use the Wang family to suppress the Pei family. Although Pei Ju also found that Yang Yuanqing did not like the Wang family, the Wang family still had to use it. This in turn

This shows Yang Yuanqing's vigilance against the Pei family's dominance.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the focus of his argument with Pei Yun. The Pei Yang integration he advocated integrates Yang Yuanqing's interests with Pei's interests. Pei Yun advocated that Yang Yuanqing is Yang Yuanqing and Pei's family is Pei's family.

Keep your distance.

Now it seems that Pei Ju has to admit that Pei Yun is right. Since ancient times, no superior can tolerate the dominance of the family. Moreover, Yang Yuanqing's rise did not rely much on the power of the Pei family.

Pei Ju's thoughts returned to Pei Qingsong, which was a delicate piece. In fact, Pei Ju also knew that Yang Yuanqing's appointment of Pei Qingsong as the record room was a disguised act of suppressing the Pei family. On the one hand, he would continue to reuse the Pei family.

, but on the other hand, he didn't want the Pei family to be too strong, so he started by using the Pei family's side-sided family, which made Pei Ju helpless.

But Yang Yuanqing's actions also reminded him that Yang Yuanqing used a relatively gentle method, which was hinting that he wanted to restrain himself. If the Pei family was still ungrateful and had to continue to be strong, Yang Yuanqing might not touch him now.

, but he will deal with the Pei family in the future, and the worst consequence is to abolish the queen.

The biggest difference between the Pei family and the Wang family is that the Pei family has a long-term political veteran like Pei Ju. He has a long-term vision and considers the family's interests for a hundred years. He is not planning a temporary situation. For the Pei family, the most important capital is the princess and Yang Yuanqing.

As long as the eldest son saves this capital, the Pei family will flourish for forty years. As for his personal interests, it is indeed not important. He must make long-term plans for the Pei family.

Thinking of this, Pei Ju whispered loudly: "Call Butler Liu!"

After a moment, Butler Liu hurried into the study and bowed and said, "Do you call me?"

"Um!"

Pei Ju nodded, Liu, you set out to Wenxi tomorrow morning, bring Qingsong's wife and children, and you must treat the eldest grandson as the eldest grandson, and you must not be treated coldly."

Butler Liu was shocked. Why did the master become the treatment of the eldest grandson after a few words? He didn't dare to ask more questions, and agreed to turn around and leave, but Pei Ju called him, "By the eldest grandson and Sanlang together."

Call."

Butler Liu turned around and left the study room. In fact, Changsun Pei Jin was near the study room. Pei Qingsong hid away when he came out. As soon as he approached the study room, Butler Liu walked out of the study room and saw Pei Jin head-on, and said, "The master of the hometown asked you to go in."

”

Pei Jin was startled, "The head of the family knows I'm outside?"

"No, I guess I'm going to look for you, and I'm going to find your third uncle. Come in quickly!"

Butler Liu left, Pei Jin hesitated for a long time before slowly walking into his grandfather's study and saluted deeply, "Does grandfather fight me?"

Pei Ju glanced at him. This Changsun was very good in both literary talent and character. He had never had a scandal like a brothel or drunk. He had been an official for many years and had a good reputation, but he had

There are also disadvantages, that is, they are a bit aloof or arrogant. This is a common problem among many famous families. However, as they grow older and their experience increases, this problem will gradually disappear.

"Jin'er, you are in your early thirties this year!"

Pei Jin didn't know what his grandfather meant and said respectfully: "The grandson is 32 years old this year."

"Well! At the age of thirty-two, he also served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He has a bright future!"

Pei Ju sighed, and his tone suddenly became stern, "But why are you still as petty and petty as a child of a businessman?"

Pei Jin was so scared that he was shocked and knelt down, "Grandfather, grandson has no!"

"Hmph! If you are not petty, then you are short-sighted and do not have the demeanor and vision that a family eldest grandson should have. You have disappointed me so much."

Pei Jin lowered his head deeply and didn't dare to say a word. Pei Ju looked at him again, then pressed down and said earnestly: "The matter of Qingsong being appointed as the Record Office to join the army is not as simple as you think. In fact, here

It has a deep political meaning, and I won't tell you why? You have to think about it yourself. You have been an official for twelve years. If you can't even see through this, then you are an idiot in the officialdom. I will only tell you one thing, Chu

If the king appointed Qingsong as the secretary's office, it means that I have to resign from the position of the prime minister. Do you understand?"

Pei Jin's heart trembled. He probably had already seen a little bit, "The grandson understands a little, let the grandson think about it again."

At this time, Pei Ju's third son Pei Wenju walked into the room. Pei Ju glanced at him and said to Pei Jin: "You think about it yourself! Once you figure it out, you will know how you should treat Qingsong as a eldest grandson."

"Yes! Grandson leaves."

After watching Changsun leave, Pei Ju turned around and said to Pei Wenju: "I have something important to you for your father."

Pei Ju has three sons and four daughters, and none of them are very outstanding. Pei Ju's eldest son Pei Wenjing was originally the prefect of Nanyang County and is currently the chief minister of Hedong County. He has average abilities. The second son Pei Wenyi is Pei Minqiu's father. Because of his poor health, he has never been able to do so.

Becoming an official: Pei Wenju is the third son, who is over 40 years old. He was the former Minister of Taifu Temple. He abandoned his official position and returned home because of Yang Guang's death. He is now in charge of the money and trade of the Pei family, and has very real power.

He bowed and said, "Please give me instructions."

Pei Ju pondered for a moment and said to him: "I plan to let you take charge of the Pei family industry in the Jiangnan area."

Pei Wenju was shocked. His father was depriving his clan power! He didn't dare to contradict him, so he had to whisper, "Yes! The child obeyed the order...

Pei Ju smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't think that my father is cutting your power. In fact, you shoulder the heavy responsibility. You are not managing the industry. Your heavy responsibility is to pay attention to the Shen family of Wuxing for me."
