Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 189 Pei Ji's Conspiracy(1/2)
"Mr. Pei, you are also the head of the Pei family. The Pei family has stood in Hedong for more than a hundred years, and has also been in charge of the Guanlong clan. Why are you like a shrew on the street? Not only beating the court officials, but also insulting the emperor, is it possible?
Don't you want to destroy the nine tribes?" Cen Wenwen still had a modest look on his face. But his sharp words prevented Pei Ji from stepping down.
"What if you insult the current emperor? If Lu Zhaoci were here, I would not only scold him, but also beat him?" Pei Ji's face changed when he heard this, and he said with a fierce expression. At this time, he finally realized what he had just said.
What did he do? He actually slapped Changsun Wuji in the face, and even insulted the emperor in his mouth. He was scared just thinking about it. The supremacy of monarchy has been deeply rooted in his mind.
"Huh, how brave." Master Cui Ren said dissatisfiedly, and stood out from the crowd, sneering: "What are you, Pei Ji, capable of? You are just a pimp and a prostitute. That is why the Li family allowed you to do this in the first place."
The people who stayed in the court, today's emperor is so wise and powerful. How can it be compared to the emperor Li's back then? His majesty thinks that you are old and allows you to rest at home. It is already very kind to you. You actually learned from others.
Just the same, you are worthy of being here, just like a shrew, scolding all the court officials because of your age. If you were an official, you would have closed the door by now. Find a hanging beam and hang it up yourself."
"You, don't be so presumptuous." Pei Ji's complexion changed, and his old face suddenly turned purple. A long time ago, he was scolded by people like *gong, and he thought he was the head of the Pei family in Hedong. When it came to status, he was far away.
Lu Zhaoci, a branch of the Fanyang Lu family, was much more noble. He did not expect that in order to force Li Yuan to raise an army, he used two women from Yang Guang, but here they were actually called a prostitute and a pimp. This is
Such a humiliation made Pei Ji furious for a moment, and he looked at Master Cui Ren with a sinister expression. This guy, relying on Lu Zhaoci, actually spoke rudely to him. He deserved to die.
"Your Majesty, look at Pei Ji's appearance. Tsk tsk!" On top of the Zhuque Gate tower, Lu Qingyun smiled like a flower, pointing at Pei Ji in the distance and laughing.
"Those who humiliate others will be humiliated. Pei Ji is asking for humiliation." Lu Zhaoci's eyes flashed with a cold light. As an emperor, the dignity of the emperor cannot be trampled on. It is the same for anyone. This guy Pei Ji, the whole
Lu Zhaoci had long wanted to kill him because of his unrest, but it happened that a member of the Siguan family could not kill people casually without an excuse. This was the end of the Tang Dynasty, not feudal society, when imperial power reached its peak.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor could find any excuse to kill people, but this was in the early Tang Dynasty. The economic lifeline of the entire dynasty was not in the hands of businessmen, nor in the hands of common people, but in the hands of these aristocratic families.
, to deal with such people, we can only boil frogs in warm water. Do it step by step, otherwise, if it is not done well, the economy of the entire empire will collapse, and it will be easy to return to the situation at the end of the Sui Dynasty. By then, Lu Zhaoci
I can't even cry even if I want to.
"Your Majesty, do you want to use the sticky rod?" Lu En said with a gloomy face.
"Stupid, if I kill him with a stick at this time, everyone in the world will know that I killed this Pei Ji." Lu Zhaoci glared at Lu En fiercely. No one in the world is a fool, Pei Ji is under the Suzaku sect.
I am afraid that the big fuss will soon spread throughout Guanzhong. If measures are taken against Pei Ji at this time, it will only arouse fear among the courtiers. I am afraid that you will never hear the truth again. Being an emperor can certainly enjoy the feeling of being superior.
, but more often than not, he has to face constraints from all aspects and be cautious. If he wants to do whatever he wants, he can only learn from Yang Guang. He did whatever he wanted, but what happened in the end? He was actually beaten by his own subordinates.
strangled to death….
"Your Majesty, we can't let this commotion continue like this!" Lu Qingyun also glared at Pei Ji at the bottom of the city with dissatisfaction and said.
"Forget it, just let him curse!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said: "Mr. Cen will help me end all this. Let's go! Go back to the palace!" Soon the bright yellow figure on the wall flashed past,
Suddenly disappeared on the city wall. But below the city, Cen Wenwen was still tepidly arguing with Pei Ji.
One was furious, relying on his qualifications to be very old, but the other was hiding behind the scenes and did not take Pei Ji's words into his eyes at all. He just brushed them off like a wind in his ears, while Changsun Wuji stared at Pei Ji with both eyes.
, wishing to tear the other person into pieces. Once upon a time, he had suffered such humiliation.
"Changsun Wuji, if you cut off people's livelihood, won't you suffer retribution in the future?" Pei Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore. Cen Wenwen's appearance made Pei Ji feel angry and unable to express his anger, but Changsun Wuji was not like that.
He is the leader of this matter, so all the anger is naturally directed towards him.
"I am working for the imperial court, for the people of the world, and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. How can I ruin people's livelihood? Even though Mr. Pei has repeatedly opposed your majesty, your majesty respects you and does not treat you badly at all. It was you back then.
The family's house is obviously against the rules, and people from Yushitai have participated in the music more than once. Your Majesty is exempted from having to worry about it because you have contributed to the court. That's what happened today. Hehe, although the officials in the capital are being streamlined, there may be many people.
Throw away the official title. But if you have the ability, Mr. Pei, you can also ask an official to take the test. As long as you can pass, let alone a small Jinyang palace eunuch, even I, the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Pu She, can sit down.
Sit down." Changsun Wuji looked at Pei Ji with a sarcastic look on his face.
"You... Humph! What a Changsun Wuji, what a Zhenguan Emperor." Pei Ji pointed at the Suzaku Gate and laughed and cursed, "What a Lu Zhaoci, who killed the donkey and killed the hero so quickly. Haha, without me, Pei Ji,
Can you and your father-in-law overthrow the Sui Dynasty? Can you control the country? Haha!" As he spoke, he ignored everyone's surprised looks. He turned around and left, and instantly got into the luxurious carriage not far away.
After leaving the Zhuque Gate, he disappeared without a trace along the Zhuque Avenue.
"Just left like this?" Master Cui Ren said in surprise.
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple." Cen Wenwen looked at Pei Ji's leaving carriage with a worried look on his face. He didn't think that Pei Ji would just accept his fate. Not to mention the heads of these aristocratic families.
No one is a simple person. Pei Ji can think of a way to let Li Yuan take the initiative to rebel, which shows his difference. I think he decisively joined the Li family without knowing whether Li Yuan would succeed, opening up
Jinyang Palace risked the annihilation of the nine tribes and supported Li Yuan in raising troops to go south. This shows that this person has a good vision.
"Master Cen is too careful. A dying person has nothing to be afraid of." Master Cui Ren showed a trace of disdain on his face. He looked down on Pei Ji very much.
"It's better to be careful." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly. His eyes flashed with cold light as he stared at Pei Ji's leaving carriage.
"Forget it!" Cen Wenwen took out a silver token from his arms, and an ordinary-looking soldier suddenly appeared among the surrounding imperial guards. He reached out to take the token and looked at it before he bowed his head and obeyed the order.
"Keep an eye on Pei Ji and see where he has gone." Cen Wenwen said lightly. The soldier nodded and quietly retreated.
"Jin Yiwei!" Cui Renshi's eyes lit up, and his expression changed drastically. Jin Yiwei was everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. There were naturally people in the Yulin Army. But what surprised Cui Renshi even more was that Cen Wenwen could still command the Jin Yiwei at this time. This
What made him very depressed was that when it came to trust, there were probably few people in the entire court who could compare to it...
***************************************
"Master, there is someone behind you."
Pei Ji's expression changed slightly and he said softly: "Change the direction and get rid of them."
"Yes!" The coachman did not dare to neglect, and immediately took Pei Ji running through the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
"Master, the other party is too powerful. He is still behind."
"That must be the Jin Yiwei. Let's go! Go to Prince Chu's Mansion!" Pei Ji frowned and said lightly: "Humph. Let's see how long you can follow!"
"Yes!" The carriage slowly headed towards the Chu Palace in the north of the city.
"Went to Prince Chu's Mansion!" In the Xuande Hall, Cen Wenwen had a look of doubt on his face. He looked at Lu Bing, the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei in front of him, and said, "Is there anyone from the Jin Yiwei in the Prince Chu's Mansion?"
"Yes!" Lu Bing said quickly: "The commander-in-chief has placed many brothers in the Chu Palace. However, Li Chunfeng under the Chu Palace is not a simple figure. The core place is still difficult to get close to."
"Go, send someone to find out why Pei Ji went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and whether he has any secret agreement with the Prince of Chu." The more Pei Ji behaved like this, the more Cen Wenwen felt that it was not simple.
"Yes!" Lu Bing did not dare to neglect and hurried down to tell him not to mention the task.
"What, drinking tea with the King of Chu?" On the first day, Cen Wenwen looked at the information on the table with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hey! Gambling." The next day, Cen Wenwen looked at Lu Bing in front of him again, looking surprised, and asked: "Pei Ji came here just to gamble, to gamble with King Chu? When did King Chu learn how to gamble?
It’s a pastime.”
"Drinking tea again!" On the third day, Cen Wenwen was even more surprised. This Pei Ji did nothing but went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to drink tea all day long. Is there no good place to drink tea in the whole city of Chang'an?
No? There must be something wrong here. Cen Wenwen frowned even more.
"Lord Cen, there is nothing worth paying attention to as a dying old dog like Pei Ji. The Jinyi Guards are meant to serve His Majesty. Isn't it a waste for you to waste him on a useless person like Pei Ji?" Master Cui Ren slowly said.
He walked into the hall, looked at the frowning Cen Wenwen and said dissatisfiedly.
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake!" Cen Wenwen said with a gentle smile on his face again: "Wen Wenxuan always felt that Pei Ji was planning some shocking conspiracy, but he could never catch the clues.
Why!"
"Master Cen, you can rest assured." Cui Renshi laughed and said: "It is no better than before. It used to be the world of the Li family, and now it is the world of the Lu family. When the Li family was in power, Pei Ji was very favored, and Pei Ji from Hedong
Although the rise of the family was very short, it was because of Li Yuan's favor that he could secure his position as the head of the Guanlong family. Wei Ting and others all listened to him. It is different now. Emperor Zhenguan is on the throne. Guanlong, Guandong, Jiang
The three major families on the left are all under His Majesty's control. Pei Ji has no one in the Guanlong family who listens to him anymore. If he really has any conspiracy, he doesn't have the people at his disposal."
Cen Wenwen nodded thoughtfully. What Cui Renshi said was not unreasonable. At that time, Pei Ji responded to every call in Guanzhong, and all the aristocratic families in Guanzhong were used by him. Even Lu Zhaoci was afraid of him, but it is different now.
Now, Pei Ji has become a tiger without teeth, not even a tiger. Since the Pei Ju incident happened, the Guanlong family has abandoned the Pei family. If Pei Ji really wants to cause trouble, he has nothing to do with Guanlong.
With the support of aristocratic families, I'm afraid it's impossible to accomplish anything.
"Forget it! Tell the brothers, you don't have to follow too closely, just do it like before." Cen Wenwen sighed: "Hey, it will be a disaster for these people to stay, but they have to stay, otherwise, Your Majesty will really
He has become a tyrant." Cui Renshi smiled coldly on the side. If he could, he wished that all the Guanlong family would die at this moment. In this way, if Lu Zhaoci wanted to rule the world, he would definitely
Thanks to the Guandong family, the entire Tang Dynasty has become the world of the Guandong family. This position of chief assistant is also his own, so how can he leave it to Cen Wenwen...
It's a pity that although these two people are also good at strategizing, Pei Ji is not a simple person. Just when the two of them had just removed their supervision of Pei Ji, in the backyard of the Chu Palace, Pei Ji and Li Chunfeng
Sitting in the back garden of Prince Chu's Mansion, on the stone table, there is an end game.
"Finally evacuated." Li Chunfeng glanced at the back garden, but saw a person in a garden flashing, but there was no trace. He sighed slightly at the moment, how could he not know that Lu Zhaoci canonized Li Zhiyun as the King of Chu?
On the one hand, it was due to the pressure of fame, but on the other hand, there was a bit of brotherly love from the past, but no matter what, there must be guards everywhere in the Chu Palace, monitoring everything in the Chu Palace. Therefore, Li Chunfeng was very cautious in the Chu Palace.
When I saw Pei Ji coming a few days ago, I was surprised. At the same time, I also vaguely felt that this person's arrival must be for something important.
"Huh, you're still young." Pei Ji sarcastically said, "If I continue, I'm afraid there's really nothing I can do."
Li Chunfeng was shocked when he heard this, his eyes moved, and he stood up and bowed: "Sir, you are a good friend of Emperor Gaozu. Speaking of which, your majesty is also your nephew. It was after Emperor Gaozu's lifelong battle that he established the Tang Dynasty. Lu Zhao
Ci He De He Neng is just a cunning and insidious person, but he has usurped the throne. He is really the most traitor in the world. When Emperor Gao was in Beijing (Taiyuan), he was planning for Emperor Gaozu, and that is why the Tang Dynasty is what it is today.
The country, now the Tang Dynasty is occupied by treacherous ministers, and the emperor has surrendered to the King of Chu. For the sake of Emperor Gao, please re-establish Zhengshuo and restore the country of Li Tang. Mr. Li will definitely be famous in history because of this. The ancestors of the Li family
I will never forget your great kindness."
"This?" A look of embarrassment appeared on Pei Ji's face, and after a while he sighed and said, "If I don't help, the Lu thief is really gaining momentum now, and everyone in the world is taking advantage of him. No one can resist it. If
In the past, if the Guanlong family united together, they might not be able to succeed, but now all the Guanlong family is used by Lu Zhaoci. We are really too weak to be the opponent of Thief Lu! It is small for me to die. The key is
Your Majesty's safety is at stake. You can't take action unless it's absolutely necessary!"
"Sir, please save my majesty." When Li Chunfeng saw this, he didn't know that Pei Ji had already made up his mind. He didn't care about his own status as a monk. He knelt down on the ground and begged bitterly: "Don't look at Thief Lu now.
To be continued...
