Invincible son

Chapter 982 983 [One promise, one thousand gold]

The romantic life in the world is always blown away by the rain and the wind.

At the beginning of the founding of Daliang, Emperor Gaozu once said with a smile: All the talents in the world are in my pocket.

The 27th Marquis of the Nine Dukes of the founding Wu Xun, a large number of capable ministers headed by Lin Qingyuan, and the vast territory that continues to extend to the southeast and northwest can all prove the correctness of his words.

It's just that with the passage of time, the original glory gradually dimmed, and the hand of fate seemed extraordinarily ruthless.

The Xian family of Chu State Mansion, as the first Duke's mansion to be delisted, until now, many people don't remember the story back then, can't tell right from wrong, and have endless grievances and grievances.After Emperor Zhongzong raised the butcher's knife, Xian Chunqiu was forced to flee across the south of the Yangtze River, and then created the current Southern Zhou Dynasty Rejecting the North.

In the Lu family of Chengguo Mansion, after the Battle of the Western Territory, Cheng Anhou Lu Min committed suicide in fear of crime, and then his son Lu Jiang plotted to assassinate Zhongshan Hou Peiyue and Pei Ning.

Guo Kaishan, the former governor of the five armies of the Guo family of Daiguo, was coerced by the fourth prince and Li Bingzhong, but was eventually involved in a major treason case and was finally executed by seizing the title.Even though Emperor Kaiping still kept the plaque of Daiguofu, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the decline and defeat of this Guogongfu is a foregone conclusion.

The Tan family of the Xiuguo Mansion, following the completion of the historical mission of the Marquis of Xiuwu, Tan Fu, retired from the position of the commander of the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army.As for his son, Tan Yu, who was still working in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, he obviously couldn't complete his unfinished business.

The Sun family of the Shanguo Mansion withdrew from the core of power in the army early. Fortunately, the second son of this generation, Sun Qi, hugged Pei Yue's thigh tightly and led a group of powerful children to toss the way of merchants.Recently, I went to Lingzhou to help Wang Yong, and even connected with the rich and powerful local gentry, but it was also very prosperous.

"The army is about to go out, and the officials should have been working in Beiying, but at home...the Lord Hou has been asked to come down." Yang Yingji said with rare embarrassment.

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Accordingly, as the experience officer of the Northern Camp, you are not only in charge of the military merit review but also a military judge, so you should go with the army. But your Majesty has not appointed the Deputy Commander of the Northern Camp so far. After I leave, there is no one in the camp who can do it." Someone who stands up at critical moments."

Both Feng Yi and Gai Ju were a little confused. They didn't know how their Lord Marquis would be so interested in coming to this official residence at the tense moment when Zang Fengwei was about to go on an expedition, and took a quick look at it.

"Master Hou, please sit down." Yang Yingji said respectfully.

Yang Yingji's eyes darkened, and then he did not hesitate to get rid of the emotion, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, Yang Ding is just an ordinary pawn in the Xuanhua Camp, and really cannot afford such special treatment."

The Yang family in Ningguo Mansion can be said to be a turn of events. Yang Yingji has been looked down upon for half his life, but he never thought that his middle age would turn around.Although it is still not on the same level, it is a world of difference compared to before.

Yang Yingji said suspiciously: "Master Hou, Commander Qin is more suitable for such a thing than me."

Yang Yingji said stubbornly: "They are all useless guys, meeting them will only delay Lord Hou's time."

Yang Yingji was startled for a moment, and asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, you don't need to go north with the army?"

The bookshelves on three sides were full of books, Pei Yue casually picked up one and flipped through it, there were very obvious traces of reading on it, it was obvious that Yang Yingji wasn't the kind of character to tell stories.

"I remember Ningguo Mansion is two streets ahead?" Pei Yue's calm voice came from the carriage.

"Yes, sir."

It is an undeniable truth that someone rises when someone declines. Leaving aside Wei Guogong Wang Pingzhang, the commanders of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army are all rising stars.At the end of last year, many people thought that Pei Yue could emulate Wang Pingzhang and become the Duke of the Kingdom.After that turbulent dynasty, Pei Yue successfully warded off those people's flattery, and was rewarded with an official house in Taipingfang.

"See Lord Hou." Yang Yingji saluted according to the rules in the army, and then asked with a puzzled face, "Why did Lord Hou come to the humble house?"

As for the Pei family of the Dingguo Mansion, which was once known as the number one wealthy family in the Daliang Army, only Pei Cheng was left to support it independently, but with his current title of Uncle Dingyuan and his military position as the commander of the garrison division, it is far from being able to carry it. The banner of the ancestors.

After a few breaths, Yang Yingji stood up and said, "It's an honor for the Marquis to be so trustworthy. Please don't worry, the Marquis, I will never allow anyone to put their hands into the northern camp."

Walking and watching along the way, Pei Yue felt a lot, and when he walked into Yang Yingji's study, he couldn't help but see it brightly.

Yin Wei, Marquis of Qi Yun was stationed in Hucheng, and Marquis Xiaojin of Xiangcheng was in charge of the Jingdu garrison division, both of which were first-class and important military positions.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Today is the time to take a rest, otherwise I wouldn't come here. Yang Jing, don't you plan to invite me in?"

"Your Majesty, Yulu, please, Lord Hou." Yang Yingji hurriedly stepped aside.

"Yang Ding may not be killed in battle. The situation at that time was a bit complicated." Pei Yue looked into the middle-aged man's eyes and said slowly: "I will pay attention to this matter. If you want to see people in life, you must see corpses. I can't let you The eldest son disappeared into the wilderness for no reason."

He didn't continue to be polite, and thought for a while and said: "The Beishan military station is on the route where the barbarians first attacked. According to the information from Taige, a pawn named Chen Dan escaped at that time. After the robe was cut off for him, let him send the news of the barbarian invasion to the south. As for the other people in the Beishan military station, including Yang Ding, their whereabouts are currently unknown."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Brother Qin Xian's ability is not a problem, but he is too young and has no official experience, and the foundation of the Pingyang Marquis is also very shallow, so he can't handle many things. Besides, I have already asked Please, Your Majesty, during this period of time he will be in charge of the Wuding Guard and the Southern Guard, and the military affairs must be extremely heavy. Experienced Yang, I not only believe in your own integrity, but also have the audacity to borrow the name of the ancestors of Ningguo. I hope that after I leave Beijing, the North Camp be able to stay the same all the time.”

After Pei Yue was seated, he served tea himself, and then closed the door of the inner room.

Even though he has a stubborn and cold personality and is not liked by others, he is still the head of the Duke's mansion. Even if he has never eaten pork since he was a child, he has seen pigs run away. How could he not understand the hidden meaning behind Pei Yue's words? mean?
Pei Yue was not in a hurry, and quietly looked at this old-fashioned middle-aged man.

Pei Yue nodded and said: "That's good. By the way, how many young masters are there in the mansion? Why don't you come and see me?"

Yang Yingji has long experienced Pei Yue's trust in employing people, but now he only feels that the responsibility on his shoulders is as heavy as a mountain.

Feng Yi took the order to retreat, and the two escorted the carriage with more than [-] personal soldiers.

Ningguo Mansion was one of the nine state mansions built by Gao Zu, and it was roughly the same as the Dingguo Mansion where Pei Yue lived for a short time.It's just that the Yang family has been in decline for a long time, the population in the mansion is relatively sparse, and many buildings are also stained with mottled marks left by the years.Although it is now a beautiful spring, the mansion still reveals a bit of bleakness.

After Pei Yue came out and boarded the carriage, Feng Yi stood beside the carriage and asked respectfully, "Master, are you going back to the Marquis Mansion next?"

After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Ningguo Mansion. Pei Yue looked up at the five characters "Decree to build Ningguo Mansion", and couldn't help feeling a little dazed, as if he had gone to a world in a book.It's just that there are no stone lions in front of this mansion, and the inside has nothing to do with arrogance and lust.After the middle door was opened, the middle-aged man who came out to greet him was dressed in a simple robe, looking a bit shabby.

In short, among the nine founders of the country, only two still hold real power in the military, namely, the Yin family of Qi State Mansion and the Xiao family of Xiangguo Mansion.

Seeing the young dignitary looking at him with a half-smile, Yang Yingji said: "Although the Ningguo Mansion is not as good as it was back then, the officials can still keep this study room clean, so you can rest assured."

"Your temper is really helpless." Pei Yue sighed, but did not forcefully change the other party's thinking, and then said with some seriousness: "I specifically asked the people in Taige and Luan Yiwei, and they haven't received any information yet. Yang Ding's news."

Pei Yue didn't wait for a turning point or follow-up, so he got up and said sincerely: "Thank you."

"Not welcome?" Pei Yue said with a smile, seeing Yang Yingji's embarrassed eyes, knowing that he is not good at these polite greetings, he said calmly: "Your Majesty rewarded me with a house, and I haven't visited it for a long time, so I walked away today. , Come to see you by the way."

Pei Yue knew that he had quite a few children, including three legitimate sons, but the most important one must be Yang Ding.If it weren't for this, Yang Yingji wouldn't have come here to ask for his opinion. Of course, he still respected Yang Ding's choice in the end and let him go to Xuanhua camp to join the army.

Yang Yingji was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and when he spoke again, his tone became more and more difficult: "It is the fate of our generation of martial arts to die in the horse leather shroud on the battlefield. Yang will be able to serve the country with death, which is enough to make the ancestors of the Yang family feel gratified."

"Go around there."

Yang Yingji bowed and said, "I don't dare to do it. I wish Master Hou all the best and clarify Yuyu."

"According to your auspicious words, I will do what I promised you." Pei Yue helped him up, raised his hand and patted the other person's arm.

When he was about to say goodbye and leave, Yang Yingji said suddenly: "Your Majesty, you are so precious."

Perhaps at this time, he has realized that he will face a very complicated situation in the capital, but he does not regret it.
