Pei Ju is not an exaggeration at all when you use the words "Erutic and knowledgeable" to describe him.
This man's talent, adaptability, and resourcefulness were unparalleled in the Sui Dynasty.
Xue Daoheng was already a top scholar, but he still had to help Pei Ju, and he was convinced. Historically, after the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, he still became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Tang Dynasty, and his posthumous title was Wenjing.
The Pei family in Hedong was also very prosperous during the Tang Dynasty. There were many princes and ministers, only Jingzhao Weishi could be compared.
Since he wanted help from Pei Ju, he couldn't get past Pei Shuying.
Although it was late at night, Yang Ming still asked Chen Shuyi to wake up Pei Shuying.
Yang Yinjiang didn't have any clothes on and it was inconvenient to go out, so she had to ask Pei Shuying to put on clothes and come here to see Yang Ming.
Pei Shuying knew that it must be urgent to find her in the middle of the night, so she threw on some clothes and ran over.
The hibiscus emerged from the clear water, and the decorations were naturally removed. Pei Shuying was beautiful and moving. Although her hair was fluffy and her clothes were disheveled, she had a unique charm. Yang Ming couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Pei Shuying came in and asked while tightening her belt.
Yang Ming said: "I want to ask you for a favor."
"As long as I can do it, just ask," Pei Shuying said very cheerfully. She came to the table and sat down, watching Chen Shuyi start to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Who do you want me to write to?"
Yang Ming nodded and told what happened to Gao Lande: "I need Mr. Pei's help to find out who this Gao Lande is."
Pei Shuying nodded, and started writing as soon as she picked up the pen. The handwriting was beautiful, round and full, which was a rare good calligraphy.
"Tomorrow morning I will give the letter to my uncle and ask him to send a capable person from the clan to deliver it to the capital as soon as possible." Pei Shuying put down the pen and dried the ink stains on the paper.
Yang Ming said: "Thank you."
"So polite?" Pei Shuying frowned immediately, glanced at Yang Yinjiang on the bed and said, "It is not appropriate to enter a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night. Your Highness should be more careful in the future."
Don't be jealous. Next time I enter your boudoir, Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's an emergency. It's really abrupt. Please be careful in the future."
Pei Shuying said yes, got up and returned to her room.
She and Yang Yinjiang lived in the same courtyard, one in the north and the other in the east. After returning to the room, she hid in the gap by the window and stared at the movement outside the yard.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and she could see any human figure in the courtyard through the gaps.
She wanted to see when Yang Ming would leave.
The scene just now made her feel very uncomfortable, because she felt that the relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang was too close, and they didn't even shy away from it.
Yang Yinjiang, it’s true, can’t you get dressed before opening the door for him? What's going on under the covers?
A long time passed, but she didn't see Yang Ming leave. The uncomfortable feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she almost couldn't help but want to go over and take a look several times.
Why don't you leave? What are you doing? You go quickly...
About half an hour later, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing in the yard. She finally felt relieved. She sighed softly and returned to the bed to rest, but she had no sleep all night.
.......
In mid-May, Yang Ming did not wait for a reply to Pei Ju's letter, but instead waited for an imperial edict.
The imperial edict was brought by the eunuch in the palace, ordering Yang Ming to return to the capital immediately.
Something big was going on. Yang Ming had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he ordered Xu Jing to prepare the carriage. Early tomorrow morning, he would return to Daxing together with the eunuch from the palace.
In the front office, Yang Ming summoned Yuan Wendu and others to give instructions before returning to the inner garden.
Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying's maids are packing their luggage, and they will also return to Beijing with Yang Ming.
"What's going on? Did the chamberlain make it clear?" Yang Yinjiang also guessed that something big was bound to happen if the general manager was transferred back to the capital in such a hurry.
In the Sui Dynasty, eunuchs were not called father-in-law, nor eunuchs, but eunuchs, referring to people who specifically served the emperor and queen.
Yang Ming shook his head and said, "I asked, but I didn't say anything. I just said it was an order from the Supreme Being.
Let me not be delayed and return to the capital as soon as possible. "
"Huh..." Pei Shuying took a long breath and said, "Something big will happen in the capital. Your Highness must be careful after returning to the capital."
She was afraid that something would happen to Yang Ming, because the position of chief steward was almost the same as that of a vassal king. Such an urgent transfer might be detrimental to Yang Ming.
Could it be that something happened to the prince? Pei Shuying looked nervous and her mind was full of random thoughts.
After all, the King of Jin succeeded to the throne not long ago, and his foundation is not yet stable, and the power of the old prince is still there. If someone is causing trouble behind the scenes, there may really be problems.
How could this happen... Pei Shuying burst into tears, lowering her head and wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Seeing this, Yang Ming said deliberately: "If something really happens, the worst possible outcome is that he will be demoted to a commoner."
Yang Ming guessed which direction she would think about. In fact, everyone would subconsciously think in that direction, including Yuan Wendu and the others.
When they were at Qianya in the morning, Du Ruhui, the capital of Yuan Dynasty, and others all changed their expressions when they learned that Yang Ming was urgently transferred to the capital.
This is normal. What happened was that King Jun of Qin was transferred back to the capital, and King Xiu of Shu was also transferred back to the capital. The heirs of these two were also urgently transferred back to the capital at that time.
"Don't talk nonsense, nothing will happen to you if anything happens to anyone," Yang Yin gave Yang Ming a hard look.
The fact is indeed true. As long as Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo are still alive, nothing will happen to Yang Ming. After these two people pass away, Dad will be the new king. At that time, it will be difficult for Yang Ming to think of anything going wrong.
Pei Shuying was also anxious and confused, so she started thinking wildly.
Yang Ming deliberately teased her and said, "If I became a commoner, I would still expect you to help me."
Pei Shuying burst out crying "Wow" and threw herself directly into Yang Ming's arms, sobbing and saying, "If you were a commoner, I would follow you."
Yang Yinjiang's face changed drastically...
What are you doing? It's not that serious at all, okay? What kind of game are you playing?
Yang Yinjiang is angry, but she also knows that Pei Shuying is showing her true feelings and is not showing off, but the timing of your pinch is too accurate. Yang Ming will definitely be moved after hearing your words.
My God, I couldn't be more prepared. This girl really hit me in the head.
So Yang Yinjiang glared at Yang Ming angrily and asked you to tease her. Now, she said something she shouldn't have said. What should I do?
Is Yang Ming moved? He was really touched, because he knew that Pei Shuying was not pretending, and this girl couldn't pretend.
"Okay, okay, it'll be okay,"
After pushing Pei Shuying away, Yang Ming wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "We will know what happened when we return to Beijing."
...
On the twenty-fifth day of the sixth lunar month in the Emperor's calendar, Yang Ming arrived in the capital.
The eldest brother Yang Zhao personally greeted Yang Ming outside the city gate. After seeing Yang Ming, he immediately asked someone to pull a horse:
"Brother Ming, follow me into the palace."
After that, Yang Zhao said to the servants in the General Manager's Mansion: "You will go back to the palace to rest."
Then, under the escort of a group of imperial guards, Yang Ming followed his elder brother and rode towards the imperial city.
At this time, Pei Shuying was completely relieved. As long as Jin Wang Yang Zhao was fine, Yang Ming would be fine. Then she said goodbye to Yang Yinjiang and returned to Pei Mansion with her servants.
My father is a close minister of the Second Saint, so he must know what happened.
As soon as she returned home, Pei Shuying threw the riding crop to the housekeeper and hurried towards the inner courtyard: "Is father here?"
"The master of the house is in the study," the housekeeper said.
With a bang, the door was pushed open. Pei Ju put down the book in his hand and looked at his daughter with a smile:
"You've been through this journey, why don't you wash your face first and see your father again?"
Pei Shuying frowned, sat down in front of her father, and asked, "What happened in the capital?"
Pei Ju smiled and said, "It's nothing, the Queen is just feeling unwell."
Pei Shuying trembled all over and was stunned.
Of course she knew her father's way of speaking. No matter how big the issue was, he was indifferent to him. But in fact, if the Holy Queen was really just a body
My father wouldn't even mention the discomfort.
"What happened to the Holy Queen?" Pei Shuying asked in shock.
Pei Judan said calmly: "Didn't I tell you? I'm just feeling unwell."
"Don't lie to me," Pei Shuying said hurriedly: "If Yang Ming is just unwell, there is no way Yang Ming will be recalled to Beijing in a hurry."
Pei Ju still had the same indifferent tone: "Then what do you think a father should say? My child, don't be so straightforward when speaking and doing things in the future. Some blunt words will hurt others, and some will hurt yourself."
Pei Shuying understood that the Queen's health must be in serious condition. Her father could not tell her, and he did not dare to tell her.
"Yang Ming was raised by the Second Saint, he will definitely be very sad," Pei Shuying said with a lonely look.
"Silence!" Pei Ju brushed his sleeves violently and said with rare anger, "Don't talk nonsense in the future."
Pei Shuying came to her senses and hurriedly said, "My daughter made a mistake."
Pei Ju shook his head helplessly and said: "You are so stupid with your words, how can I let my father rest assured? If you still can't change it in the future, my father will have no choice but to find you an ordinary family to marry. Otherwise, with your temperament, you will never be able to join a wealthy family. Expensive stomach."
Pei Shuying was stunned, and immediately thought of Yang Ming, and quickly apologized: "My daughter must be careful about her words from now on, and she will not dare to say nonsense again."
He is too straight-tempered and is really not suitable for being in a large family, let alone the royal family.
Pei Shuying recalled that she had indeed made Yang Ming unhappy with some blunt words. It seemed that this problem had to be changed.
After a long time, Pei Ju asked again: "What do you think of Yang Yinjiang during this time in Jingzhou?"
"Bingxue is smart and good at understanding people's hearts," Pei Shuying said truthfully, "She is obviously very scheming, but she makes people unable to hate her, which actually increases her goodwill."
"This is where you are inferior to her," Pei Ju said with a smile, "but it is also where you are worse than her."
Pei Shuying was stunned: "What does father mean by this?"
Pei Ju was patient with his daughter and said slowly:
"People always like to deal with people who are dumber than themselves, and no one is exception. Therefore, ministers all over the court like to pretend to be dumb, but this fool needs to control the heat. You are dumber than the Supreme, and dumber than the people above you. Stupid, but not stupider than the people below."
"Compared with Yang Yinjiang, your biggest advantage is that Yang Ming will think you are stupider than him, and Yang Yinjiang is too showy in front of Yang Ming, which is actually not good. It is easy to become Yang Ming's confidant, but it is difficult to become a considerate one. Pillow person."
"This is human nature. It is too easy for others to guess your thoughts, and you will feel frustrated. On the contrary, if others cannot guess your thoughts, you will feel satisfied and have a sense of accomplishment."
Pei Shuying still doesn't understand: "Could being stupid sometimes be an advantage? My daughter doesn't understand."
"You won't understand now," Pei Ju said with a smile, "but one day, you will understand."
