After coming out of Wensi Hall, Yang Ji walked all the way to Xingjiaomen Square. Looking at the sky full of colorful clouds, he suddenly became inspired by poetry. But after thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Today is a good day, tomorrow will be a good day, good, good, good." , It’s his niáng’s fault.”
"Hey, your Majesty's 'poetry' steals his niáng's freshness and refinement." Pei Ju's voice suddenly came from behind, and there were bursts of suppressed laughter.
Yang Ji's body froze. When he suddenly turned around, he saw more than a dozen important officials not far away looking at him and smiling: "Hey, who do you want to know? It turns out to be Lao Pei!"
Pei Ju's face turned dark when he heard that. Before Yang Ji abducted his daughter, it was Pei Lao, Pei Lao. His daughter gave birth to two cubs, and he was upgraded to Lao Pei?
"Hello, Old Pei." As he said that, Yang Ji suddenly rushed towards Pei Ju. He just punched Pei Ju.
All the important ministers were frightened, and the imperial guards did not know what to do.
Yang Ji still said in the palace that he was a weak scholar with no strength, and he looked exactly the same. But the moment he pounced on Pei Ju, he seemed to have changed into a different person, forming an invisible but existing feeling around him. The irresistible domineering momentum is suffocating.
Pei Ju was also frightened to death. Although he was also a Confucian commander with both civil and military skills, and he used to carry a knife across the battlefield, but after all, time is not forgiving, and more importantly, he had no intention of taking precautions, and suddenly saw Yang Ji killing him. , he thought this lunatic was getting sick and wanted to beat him to death.
Pei Ju knew that he could not stop or hide, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death. However, amidst the screams of everyone, he found that he had not been hurt at all.
Yang Ji's fist was close to his chest, just touching his clothes, but not only was he not hurt at all, he didn't even feel anything. Such a powerful punch that is sure to kill, a punch that is unavoidable, can be withdrawn at the drop of a hat. Isn't this too powerful?
After being stunned for a moment, Pei Ju's cold sweat started pouring from his head, and he shouted angrily: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Nothing happened. Aying said that I have a violent disease and I can beat my father-in-law when nothing happens." Yang Ji said.
The power of these words made Pei Ju more uncomfortable than being beaten. He roared: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Aying is so good, it is absolutely impossible for her to say such nonsense."
"Admit it, my father-in-law." Yang Ji looked at Lao Pei with pity and laughed loudly: "If Aying is a good girl, how can she become my little good boy and give birth to two sons for me? "
Pei Ju almost vomited blood when he heard this. He, Pei Ju, had been suppressed by his wife all his life, but he actually taught such a thing. With the virtue of that ghost girl who came to her door without any expectation, she would definitely be able to do such a thing. He finally regained his breath and said angrily: "Don't you know how to beat this kind of thing that has no father or mother? Just beat him to death."
"When Aying came to my house, she was so well-behaved. I loved her so much and it was too late. How could I be willing to beat her?" Glancing at Pei Ju, who was furious, Yang Ji said proudly: "Old, old father-in-law, we share weal and woe after all. Comrade, I kindly remind you that Aying has been targeting your old man's private treasury for a long time. It seems that he has even reached an agreement to share it equally with several of his people."
Pei Ju smiled coldly: "I have used this clumsy little trick of sowing discord before your father was born..."
Yang Ji laughed out loud: "You can believe it or not, but the more you lose, the more I make."
Pei Ju almost shut himself down.
No matter how good-tempered his father-in-law was, he couldn't stand it when he encountered such a bastard son-in-law. He glared at Yang Ji fiercely and finally got down to business: "The situation in Xizhou County is that there are enemies on all sides. Can Xing Yansheng be qualified for this position?"
This was the fundamental reason why Pei Juchui came to speak. He was grateful to Yang Ji for promoting the children of the Pei family, but he was also a little worried that Pei Xingyan could not withstand the pressure of Western forces and could not cope with the sudden changes in the situation. If so, Yang Ji, as the recommender, must also bear certain responsibilities.
Unexpectedly, before he even started asking, he was scared to death and angry to death.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Yang Ji shook his head and said: "In the West, they would have been lucky if I didn't attack them during the Sui Dynasty. How could they dare to invade our Sui Dynasty border? Moreover, Li Datong, the governor of Xizhou, and I gave Pei Xingyan The assistant officers he assigned were not fuel-efficient. What's more, in the north of Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanshu led the Tingzhou Dao coalition, and in the south was Li Jing's Qiemo Dao coalition. Behind them, Zhang Dinghe was in charge of Dunhuang, Yiwu and other counties. So you can rest assured.”
At this point, Yang Ji looked at Pei Ju: "The most important thing is that my father-in-law underestimated Pei Xingyan, or in other words, your Pei family doesn't pay enough attention to him and doesn't understand him well enough."
"..." Pei Ju was speechless after hearing this. Compared to his direct descendants, the Pei family really lacked care for their side branches.
In fact, this is also a common problem among aristocratic families, because a large aristocratic family is like a small court, and there are also internal differences between descendants and concubines and factional disputes. However, the direct line will inevitably be overtaken by the side branches, and the power will be taken away by the side branches. Therefore, in terms of resources and human connections, the line is often heavily tilted towards the direct line.
Take the father and son Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan as examples. Although they have become prominent, their status within the Pei family has always been low because they are side branches of the Pei family. So far, he has not received a piece of land of his own from his family or a house of his own. Of course, everything that happened to the Pei family and his son today was due to the Pei family's momentum, and Pei Ju and Pei Yun fought for it, but more importantly, it was due to the hard work of the father and son themselves.
Yang Ji said: "Father-in-law, Pei Xingyan has the potential and talent to become a famous general. I also value him. If you, the Pei family, are obsessed with being a legitimate concubine, suppress him or be harsh. Sooner or later, he will become the leader of the Wang family. General, when the time comes, it will be too late to regret."
As the saying goes, one word wakes up a dreamer. After hearing Yang Ji's words, Pei Ju felt extremely nervous and broke into a cold sweat.
Pei Xingyan's daughter-in-law is a daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and there is no one in the Wang family who can take advantage of her in the Sui Dynasty. They saw that Pei Renji was the deputy commander of the Northern Navy, and Pei Xingyan was a rising general. Once they learned that the father and son were not valued by the Pei family, they would definitely try their best to win over them and use the Wang family's resources to train them.
The Pei family and his son also want to take a further step in their career. If their family makes them feel cold, and Wang is very attentive, they will definitely accept Wang's help; and then they will become inseparable.
As for the Pei family, it will be difficult to trust them at that time; if things go on like this, they will forcefully drag their father and son to the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Thinking of this, Pei Ju felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. They heard that the Pei family was located in the south of Bingzhou, while the north was the territory of the Wang family in Taiyuan. The overt and covert fights between the two families had never stopped.
However, they never thought that after they and their younger brother Pei Yun focused on the court and competing with the major factions, the seemingly declining Taiyuan Wang family actually used the silent method of moisturizing things to infiltrate into their Pei family. If we don't pay attention to this issue anymore, wouldn't all Pei's hard work make for Wang's wedding dress in vain?
It's so damn good.
With a livid face, he said to Yang Ji: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I wouldn't have realized this problem."
"I just feel unworthy for Pei Xingyan, so there's no need to thank you." Yang Ji shook his head and said, "After all, I am also Pei's son-in-law, and Pei Xingyan is my subordinate. Of course I don't want to get any advantage." The Wang family hiding in the dark.”
"I can't control the internal affairs of your family, and I don't want to. But if you don't pay attention to it, then I will have no choice but to rob people. When the time comes, don't say that I don't follow the rules."
Pei Ju took a deep look at Yang Ji, smiled and said: "I don't know why, I feel that you have broken the rules, and I feel that Pei Xingyan has been taken away by you. And you are just informing me now; as for the Wang family of Taiyuan , it’s just your excuse.”
"It has nothing to do with me. Ming'er recognized Xingyan as his uncle and held a banquet. Can I help my brother-in-law?" Yang Ji said obediently after getting the advantage.
Pei Shuying seems to be Pei's enemy. She is born with the attribute of cheating her father and family. Anything that can make Pei Ju sick, anything that can make Mrs. Pei unhappy. She does them all. It's the same now and in history.
She asked her son to recognize Pei Xingyan as her uncle, not to compete with Xiao Ying, but simply to help Yang Ji rob people, and to turn Pei Xingyan into a complete lineage of King Wei. Now, he really just informed Pei Ju, but Pei Ju could no longer be saved.
Yang Ji almost died of joy to have a wife who specialized in cheating and helping her husband's family. Especially when I saw my old father-in-law looking so angry and helpless, I felt so happy.
"It's really life-threatening." Pei Ju suddenly became furious again and started messing around. He knew it was the unfilial daughter who was behind it again.
He was surprised. He didn't teach Pei Shuying like this before. Why did she always reach out to the Niáng family?
When Pei Ju saw Yang Ji's triumphant look, he forcibly resisted the urge to hit, tried to calm himself down, and said angrily: "We'll see."
Walking out of the Xingjiao Gate, I suddenly heard a surprising "Aye".
Looking around, it was Pei Shuying, who was disguised as a man, calling her cutely. Seeing his daughter's surprise, Lao Pei felt a little comfort in his heart; this girl still has some conscience after all.
He asked with a straight face: "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, just scream!" Pei Shuying looked at her father happily and said, "Aye, those shops in Zhangyecheng are not managed by anyone and are not well managed. Why don't you let your daughter take care of them?"
"..." Pei Ju turned around and left without saying a word.
Pei Shuying looked at her father's retreating back blankly, then turned to Yang Ji and asked, "Lang Jun, Aye, is this...?"
Yang Ji saw that Pei Ju was deliberately slowing down and seemed to be eavesdropping, so he said, "I'm happy to see you are willing to help Mr. Pei reduce his pressure!"
Pei Shuying asked again: "It's weird, then why did he leave?"
"It's a matter of face!" Yang Ji suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "My father-in-law is the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. He is so brilliant that even I have to be respectful in front of him. If he shows joy in front of everyone, it will really harm him. I can understand this, don’t think too much about it.”
"Ah Ye just likes to put on airs, Lang Jun must not imitate him." Pei Shuying said: "Did Lang Jun hit him? How much force did he use?"
When Pei Ju heard this, he really believed Yang Ji's words this time. This unfilial daughter was responsible for everything. As for instigating her husband to beat his father-in-law, this crazy thing is probably only his daughter in the world who can do it.
He really wanted to go back and slap Pei Shuying a few times, but considering that he really couldn't beat Yang Ji, he had to pick up his feet and plan to run away.
"Aying, my father-in-law just wrote a very vulgar poem. I'm embarrassed to say anything about him. But it will save him from embarrassment in the future, so I have to talk to you." Yang Ji did not let him go, and said loudly: "His The poem is 'Today is a good day, tomorrow will be a good day, so good, so good, so good'. Listen to yourself, is this a poem written by a normal person? Really..."
"Aye, it's okay that you don't know how to write poetry. How could you write such a crooked poem?" Pei Shuying was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and she chased after her with murderous intent: "You don't care about yourself, but can you consider us? Can your children’s feelings save us some face?”
Yang Ji scolded Pei Shuying with a cold face: "How do you talk? How do you talk? Do you need to deal with it?"
Pei Shuying said aggrievedly: "I was wrong, I am willing to accept the family law."
"..." Pei Ju was stunned, and then he was so angry that he just wanted to scold him. However, seeing that his daughter who had listened to the slander seemed to blame all the sins on himself, he had to run away.
It's his niáng's fault. It is true that he can't take care of Pei Shuying, but can't he take care of Pei Shuying's old nanny? Although it is true that he can't handle it and can't beat him, his momentum must be shown.
. . . . . .
Yang Ji and Pei Shuying defeated Pei Ju, and boarded the carriage arrogantly and affectionately.
The carriage slowly drove out of the south gate of the palace, passed the Huangdao Bridge, Tianjin Bridge, and Xingjin Bridge, then accelerated on Jianguomen Street, and soon arrived at Jingshan Square, entered the square gate, and continued until Stopped in the square in front of the palace.
Through the car window, Yang Ji saw several carriages parked on the side of the mansion gate, and felt a little confused. He got out of the carriage, took Pei Shuying, who had made great achievements, out of the carriage, and walked up the steps together.
When Yang Ji, the chief steward of the porter, saw Yang Ji returning home, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty, Mrs. Pei."
"No gift!" Yang Ji respected the loyal old people in the mansion. He returned the gift and asked curiously: "Manager Yang, it's getting late. Who is here?"
Yang Yi replied: "Replying to your Majesty, the third elder of the Xiao family and Linchuan County Duke Xiao Yu are here. Along with them are several guests from the south. They have been here for nearly two hours."
Xiao Feng is the third son of Xiao Kui and the king of Jinling in Xiliang. After Xiliang lost its imperial title, Xiao Feng followed Xiao Cong, the clan and officials to the Sui Dynasty, and was named the Duke of Linchuan County. However, he has not entered an official career so far. In addition, he was a low-key person, so Yang Ji didn't have much contact with him. When he heard that he was bringing someone to visit, he thought he was here to see Xiao Ying, so he asked casually: "Are you coming to see the princess?"
"It's not to see the princess, they came here specifically to see the king." Yang Yi glanced at Yang Ji and said, "The princess saw that they were here on official business, so she didn't come forward. She just asked someone to invite them into the side hall of the front hall to serve tea. . After Hao Changshi and Ling Sima returned to their residence, they received them on behalf of the king."
Yang Ji understood what was going on, so Xiao Yu came to see him on behalf of Xiao Jue and the southern nobles. He would have caused unnecessary trouble for Xiao Ying, so he went about business and did not go to see his sister.
Thinking of this, he said to Yang Yi: "Notify them that I am back. I will take a bath and change clothes first, and then I will meet them later."
"Here!" Yang Yi responded and left.
