Pei Yun stood in front of the table, looking at this humble guest hall with his hands in his hands, it was really a little cold, with an old red brick floor, a half-old table, and two soft seats, and nothing else.

This is also called Guiketang? What would an ordinary guest house look like? The dignified Guozi Priest Wine, even if it is a temporary mansion in Jiangdu, will not be so shabby.

Of course, Pei Yun also knows that this is the characteristic of the Hebei family, and he likes to deliberately show that he is poor, and to put it mildly, it is a bit of a reputation.

If it weren't for Zhang Xuan, he would never have come to visit Lu's house.

This is, Lu Zhuo's laughter came from the hall, "Let Uncle Pei Shi wait for a long time." ”

Pei Yun is only two years younger than Pei Ju, and he is nearly seventy years old, and Lu Zuo's father Lu Shen is a generation, Lu Zuo also followed his father to visit Pei Yun when he was a child, Pei Yun's strictness left a deep memory on Lu Ju, so until now Lu Ju is still a little afraid of Pei Yun, especially Pei Yun's control of supervision, which makes the officials even more frightened.

"I heard that the virtuous nephew is not in good health?" Pei Yun reluctantly squeezed out a smile and asked.

"It's a little bit of a headache, it's an old problem."

Lu Zhuo walked up to the hall and said, "The guest hall is a little shabby, please don't laugh." ”

Since Pei Yun was an elder, he was not polite, and sat down directly, and Lu Zhuo also sat down, and at this time, a maid came in and served them tea.

Pei Yun drank tea and asked, "I haven't seen your father for almost ten years, how is his health?" ”

"Thank you Uncle Shi for your concern, my father is in good health."

"Oh! Then I can rest assured, at our age, we must pay special attention to maintenance, and we can't be careless, speaking of which, I envy your father, who can live at home for a long time. Not like us, hey! It is a life of toil. ”

Lu Zhuo secretly sneered in his heart, the hard work life of holding the power of supervision, others want to work hard and don't have this life, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said, "I heard my nephew say just now." Uncle Shi thinks I'm going to have a bad time."

"It's not that it's going to be bad, it's that you're going to be in trouble."

Pei Yun's straightforwardness made Lu Zhuo's face change greatly, and he couldn't say a word.

Pei Yun smiled and said, "Of course, it's okay now, I just hope that the virtuous nephew can take precautions and plan early." ”

Lu Zhuo came back to his senses for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Can Uncle Shi tell me directly, what happened?" ”

"The virtuous nephew knows why the saint wants to reseal the son-in-law?"

Pei Yun's words were in Lu Zuo's mind, and he originally felt that his son-in-law was young. And he is not very qualified, so he was named the prince of the country, which is indeed a bit unreasonable, but he was carried away by all kinds of congratulations and forgot his initial worries, and Pei Yun's words reminded him of his initial worries.

He hurriedly said: "I also think it's a little unreasonable, but I can't see through it, so I ask Uncle Shi for guidance." ”

Pei Yun saw that there was no one in the hall. He lowered his voice and said, "I told my nephew a top-secret piece of news, and the Holy Lord is going to do something to Li Yuan." It was only in order to stabilize Zhang Xuan that he was resealed, and once the saint solved Li Yuan, the next one would be to do it to Zhang Xuan. ”

Lu Zhuo's face turned pale in an instant, and there was really a problem, it turned out that he just wanted to stabilize his son-in-law. He asked in a trembling voice, "When will that happen?" ”

"I don't know this, this is what the saint has just decided, and only three people know at present, the virtuous nephew is the fourth person, and it is a matter of his life. Don't say it. ”

Lu Zhuo's heart was in a mess, he knew that Pei Yun would not lie to himself, this matter must be true, but when was the saint going to make a move on Zhang Xuan?

Pei Yun said lightly: "It is estimated that the virtuous nephew did not understand what I meant, no matter how the saint does it, Zhang Xuan will not be afraid, and the saint will not be able to hurt him, the key is the virtuous nephew, once the saint turns his face on Zhang Xuan, the virtuous nephew will inevitably go to prison, this is what I said about the catastrophe." ”

Of course, Lu Zhuo understands that once the imperial army starts a war with Zhang Xuan, he will be implicated, what should he do? For a while, Lu Zhuo was flustered, and he didn't realize why Pei Yun told him about it.

At this time, Pei Yun coughed lightly, this cough was like a slap in the face, Lu Zuo suddenly responded, he was really confused, didn't Pei Yun come here for this matter? Otherwise what would he do?

Lu Zhuo hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Please teach me Uncle Shi!" ”

"Virtuous nephew don't have to be polite, we are world friends, of course I will help you, in fact, I am here to show you a clear way, can you trust me?"

Lu Zhuo seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, and as if a drowning man had grabbed a piece of wood, he hurriedly said: "Where did Uncle Shi say, how could I not believe Uncle Shi!" ”

"If the virtuous nephew wants to avoid trouble, the best way is to resign and return to his hometown, but at this juncture, the saint will definitely not agree, and then he will be transferred to the place as the Taishou, but I think the saint may not approve it, Zhang Xuan refuses to send his son to Beijing as a hostage, the virtuous nephew is actually a hostage, I discussed it with my brother, maybe there is a way to let the virtuous nephew avoid trouble."

Lu Zhuo was overjoyed, "Uncle Shi, please speak!" ”

Pei Yun said with a smile: "Now that the Central Plains is in a catastrophe, the court's consolation envoy has not yet decided on a candidate, if the virtuous nephew becomes a consolation envoy and stays outside for a few months, isn't it a disguised way to avoid disaster?" ”

"But will the Holy One agree?" Lu Zhuo asked hesitantly.

"Of course the Holy Lord will not agree, but with me and my brother operating from it, this matter may not need to go through the Holy Lord, but will be decided by His Royal Highness King Yan, and then the specific recommendation of who will be the comforting envoy is the matter of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Historical Tower."

Lu Zhuo suddenly woke up, the officials were in the hands of Pei Ju, and the Yushitai was in the hands of Pei Yun, if they jointly recommended themselves as the comforters, King Yan would definitely agree.

It's just that

After all, Lu Zuo is the head of the Lu family, he slowly calmed down, and realized that Pei Yun had something to do, and he must be conditional to help him with this big favor.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhuo implicitly tentatively said: "Uncle Shi is so gracious, how can I thank my nephew?" ”

Pei Yun smiled and said: "There is another news I forgot to tell my nephew, my brother has decided to cancel the marriage with the Cui family, frankly speaking, I have always been resolutely opposed to my brother marrying his granddaughter to Cui Wenxiang, this person is frivolous, stupid, forgetful of righteousness, and has lost his virtue, and he will not be able to become the master of the Cui clan in Boling in the future, I have repeatedly persuaded my brother, and now my brother has finally accepted my suggestion." ”

Lu Zhuo was silent for a while, of course he knew why Pei Yun wanted to say this, Cui Pei's marriage was actually to help Cui Zhao deal with himself, since the marriage between Cui and Lu broke down, Cui Zhao has regarded himself as an enemy, and thanks to Zhang Xuan, Lu's prestige among the Hebei Shi clan has been rising, and he has replaced Cui Zhao as the leader of the Hebei Shi clan, Cui Zhao wanted to regain the position of leader, so he hugged Pei Ju's thigh.

Now Pei Yun has made it clear that he is canceling this marriage, in fact, he is telling himself that the Pei family will no longer help Cui Zhao deal with him, that is, the Pei Cui alliance is about to dissolve, this is Pei Yun is obviously showing favor to himself, how can Lu Zuo not hear it.

It's just that Pei Yun has repeatedly curry favor with himself, what does he want to ask for himself?

Lu Zhuo sighed and said, "I fully understand Uncle Shi's intentions, so Uncle Shi will say it clearly!" What does a nephew need to do? As long as my nephew can do it, he will not refuse! ”

Pei Yun has said all the things he should have said, now that Lu Zuo has understood his intention, he is no longer subtle and euphemistic, so he said slowly: "The virtuous nephew should also know that the Pei family was ready to recruit Zhang Xuan as a son-in-law, but in the end it was unsuccessful."

Lu Zuo's face changed, he suddenly understood what Pei Yun meant, and immediately said urgently: "Zhang Xuan has married a little girl, is it meaningless to talk about this matter now?" ”

"Nephew listen to me."

Pei Yun smiled and continued: "At the beginning, the Pei family made a mistake, they should have married General Zhang with their daughter-in-law, but in the end, it was my granddaughter Zhizhi and General Zhang who went on a blind date, and I was a little snub to General Zhang, and now it is too late to regret it, but the eldest husband should have three wives and four concubines, I want to match my granddaughter to General Zhang as his wife, and the virtuous nephew also knows that this matter is decided by General Zhang's wife, so I hope that the virtuous nephew can help me with this." ”

Lu Zhuo was speechless for a long time, it turned out that Pei Yun was for this purpose, Pei Zhizhi knew that he was born to Pei Yun's eldest son Pei Xuanqi and his maid, and she looked very good, and the Pei family wanted to marry her to Zhang Xuan as his wife, but for some reason, Zhang Xuan did not agree.

A flat wife is just a nice saying, in fact, she is a concubine, with the identity of Pei Zhizhi's concubine, it is not impossible to be a flat wife, but what is the status of the Pei family, ordinary officials can marry the Pei family's concubine as a wife, they have to burn high incense, and now the Pei family actually wants to give the concubine to Zhang Xuan as a concubine.

Lu Zhuo suddenly had an indescribable sense of pride, the Lu family unknowingly overwhelmed the Pei family, the first power clan of the Great Sui, this is really unexpected!

"Can you agree?" Pei Yun stared at Lu Zhuo with blazing eyes.

How could Lu Zhuo not agree, he still had to rely on the Pei brothers to help him leave Jiangdu to avoid trouble!

Lu Zhuo nodded, "Okay! I'm going to write to my little girl tonight. ”
