Tibet

Chapter 215
"Are you Aunt Ping's son?" the little lady asked with her head tilted.

Li Ye smiled and nodded, "My name is Li Ye!"

"You are Brother Ye?"

The little lady jumped up happily, turned around and ran to the carriage behind her, "Daddy, it's Brother Ye who is here!"

A young man in his early 30s stepped out of the carriage, followed by a pretty young woman.

"Qian'er, please don't run around!"

This man was also wearing a gauze hat, a light green official uniform, and a leather belt around his waist. Judging from the color of the official uniform, he should be a seventh-rank civil servant.

The man stepped forward to look at Li Ye and said with a smile: "You are Ah Ye?"

"I'm Li Ye, who are you?"

"I'm your mother's brother, my name is Pei Jun!"

Li Ye was stunned. He heard from Aunt Mu that his mother had two older brothers and one younger brother. The younger brother was two years younger than his mother, and because he was born of a singer, he had been living outside.

Li Ye hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Li Ye sees Uncle!"

Pei Jun laughed and patted Li Ye's arm, "Why don't you say something first."

"My nephew is going to Anxi, passing by Zhangye!"

"I see!"

Pei Jun smiled again and introduced Li Ye's daughter who was a little shy and refused to go forward, "That's your cousin Pei Qian, next to your aunt!"

Li Ye hurriedly stepped forward to salute. At this time, a family member had already rushed to report, and a large group of people came out quickly.

The leader is Li Ye's grandfather, Pei Fang, governor of Ganzhou, followed by his eldest uncle Pei Jia and second uncle Pei Jian, both of whom are generals.

Li Ye hastened to pay his respects, and Pei Fang had long wanted to meet this legendary grandson. He was only 14 years old and became famous in Shuofang.

He was really happy to see that his grandson was tall, mighty, and talented. More than ten years ago, his only precious daughter gave birth to a child out of wedlock, which made him lose face and kicked her out of the house in a fit of anger. It didn't take long for him to regret it. It's just that he desperately wanted to save face, and he refused to let go, waiting for his daughter to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

But Pei Sanniang also has the same stubborn temper as her father, and she refused to go home to admit her mistakes. The father and daughter have been in a stalemate for 14 years, and the relationship did not thaw until last year.

However, he still often gets news about his daughter from his nephew Pei Min, and opened a clinic in Chang'an to support himself.

In fact, Li Ye was still a little bit against the grandpa's family. After all, they made his mother suffer for 14 years and left her alone in Chang'an. If it wasn't for his mother's sake, Li Ye would never have come to the house today.

But there are some things that can only be hidden in the heart, and cannot be shown on the face. The family enthusiastically embraced Li Ye into the mansion, and Li Ye gave grandma a big gift.

Li Ye's grandmother was also from the famous Li family in Longxi. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established, the emperor Yu Wentai asked his generals to seek attachments from the famous Guanlong family in order to improve their own reputation.

Later, the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty was attached to the Hongnong Yang family, and the later Li family of the Tang Dynasty was attached to the Longxi Li family, which was Li Ye's grandmother's family.

It was also through this marriage that Pei Fang gained the support of the famous families in Hexi, and gradually became the governor of Ganzhou. Last year, he was the deputy governor of Ganzhou. This year, he was recommended by Li Linfu and was officially promoted to governor.

But looking at the graceful and luxurious old lady in front of him, what Li Ye thought of was Aunt Mu, who was the real grandmother in his heart.

Three sons, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and even two fourth generations were brought here, and the whole family sat in the lobby.

Li Ye took out a wooden box and said with a smile, "I'll bring you some presents, let's see if there is anything you like. Please choose whatever you like!"

The things in his box were dumped on the table, they were all beautiful jade and precious stones, of course they were the trophies captured by Li Ye. He picked out more than twenty good quality ones and gave them to the grandfather's family.

Everyone was overjoyed, and stepped forward to choose their favorite things.

This is the way of the world. If Li Ye wants to save face for his mother, he needs something that can be sold. These beautiful jades and gems are also valuable treasures in Chang'an. Each piece is worth hundreds of guan, or even more expensive. After receiving a great gift, next time Pei Sanniang returns to her mother's house, everyone will naturally give her a high regard.

Li Ye took out a piece of mutton fat jade seed material the size of a fist and handed it to Grandpa with a smile: "This is for Grandpa."

Pei Fang saw that the beautiful jade was white and moist, like cut fat, without any blemishes or scratches, the shape was very beautiful, the bottom was flat, it could be placed on the table.

Pei Fang couldn't put it down immediately, he stroked his beard repeatedly and nodded in praise: "Ye'er has a heart!"

Li Ye handed an emerald the size of a jujube to his grandmother, Li Shi. The quality is second to none. The caring is due to this filial piety. Li Shi was so happy that he held Li Ye's hand and said, "Good boy, your mother wrote The letter said that she was in Runzhou, I thought you were also in Runzhou, my Ye'er has grown up, it's the first time grandma sees you, hey!"

Li wiped away her tears, Li Ye hurriedly comforted her, and said with a smile, "I'll put this emerald in a pendant for grandma."

"Okay! You inlay it for grandma."

At this time, the two granddaughters Pei Qian and Pei Li ran up, and Pei Qian shouted: "Brother Ye, we will also go to inlay with you."

The two are the same age, both 11 years old, only a month apart, Pei Li is slightly older, but Pei Qian is more outgoing, she dragged Pei Li to run.

Pei Fang also has a granddaughter named Pei Zhen, she is engaged, so she will no longer be naughty with her two younger sisters.

Li Ye asked with a smile: "What did you choose?"

The two little ladies spread out their palms, a ruby ​​and a sapphire, both the size of pigeon eggs, and of extremely high quality.

Grandma Li didn't know what to think of, and said with a smile: "You two take Ah Ye out for a walk in the afternoon, it's rare to come to Zhangye."

Li Ye said happily: "Let's go inlay together in the afternoon!"

At this time, everyone picked out a favorite thing, and even the two fourth generations were helped by their mothers to pick out one.

There are still seven or eight pieces left, and it is Li Ye's wish that Mrs. Li will collect them together and prepare to give them to several in-laws.

Pei Fang called everyone to sit down, the atmosphere in the lobby was much warmer, and everyone's eyes were full of joy for Li Ye.

Pei Fang smiled and asked Li Ye again, "Is Ye'er going to Anxi to join the army this time?"

Li Ye shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not joining the army, it's actually traveling in Anxi!"

Pei Fang stroked his beard and said with a chuckle: "It's easy to talk about traveling, first live in Zhangye for a year or so, and then it's not too late to leave!"

Li Ye leaned slightly and said, "Don't dare to hide it from my grandfather, my grandson actually has a secret mission entrusted by the emperor to go to the Hezhong area."

After finishing speaking, he took out the emperor's gold medal and handed it to his grandfather. Pei Fang was startled. He had a picture of this gold medal, and with this gold medal, he could mobilize a thousand troops.

The fact that the grandson actually had the emperor's personal gold medal made Pei Fang even more afraid to underestimate it.

At this moment, Pei Jun stood up and said, "Father, my boy has something important to report, and it happens to be about Ye'er."

Pei Jun served as the governor's soldier Cao Shenjun, in charge of military registration management and various important documents.

Pei Fang asked, "What's the matter?"

"My boy received a letter from Feige from the Ministry of War yesterday evening, informing us of two things. One is to ask us to settle the chaos in Yanhai as soon as possible, and the second is to inform Li Ye, Duke of Jinshan County, to be promoted to General Ningyuan."

Pei Fang was stunned, it was a good thing to be promoted to the official rank of his grandson, but how did the notification get to Zhangye?

Li Ye knew well that it must have been arranged by his grandfather, and he knew that he was with Grandpa Zhangye.

"It was probably arranged by my grandfather. He knew that I would come to my grandfather's place, so he specifically let me know about it."

Pei Fang stroked his beard and nodded, "Your grandfather really cares about you!"

There were some things that Li Ye couldn't say clearly. He knew very well that the fact that his grandfather passed the news to him was actually expressing an attitude of the emperor. The emperor must have clearly rejected Ge Luolu's request for extradition.

Although the 300 million sheep are attractive, the emperor is not a fool. It is impossible for him not to consider the feelings of the military, and it will also damage the national dignity of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye changed the subject and asked, "May I ask my grandfather, what happened to the chaos in Juyanhai?"

Pei Fang sighed and said: "Last autumn, a Xue tribe came to Juyanhai, saying that their chief was killed and there was a civil strife in the Xue tribe. They came here to avoid disaster for a few months, and they will leave in the spring of this year. , I agreed, but unexpectedly they not only did not leave after the beginning of spring, but instead attracted the troops of Xuebu and Ge Luolu, they drove away the Qiang people in the south of Juyanhai, and occupied the entire Juyanhai pasture.”

Li Ye immediately remembered what happened last year. Not long after they entered Xuebu, Allen pointed to a mountain range in the distance and said to him, "The other side of Xiakou Mountain is Juyanhai in Hexi, which belongs to Ganzhou." '

It turns out that Xue Department is close to the Hexi Corridor.

Li Ye asked again: "And then?"

"Then their attitude was more arrogant, saying that they only seized the land of the Qiang people, and did not invade the military city of the Tang army, and said that we could not control them. Hai is Tang’s land, they must leave, but they haven’t left yet, it is said that Ge Luolu is negotiating with the imperial court and wants to ask the imperial court to sell Juyanhai to them at a high price.”

The Ge Luolu people were talking nonsense. Ju Yanhai was not mentioned in their request at all. Li Ye asked again: "Then what is the attitude of the Hexi Army?"

"As the governor of Ganzhou, I have the responsibility to guard the land, but the Jiedu envoy An Sishun's attitude is rather ambiguous, saying that he must ask the imperial court for instructions, and I am not allowed to act rashly."

Li Ye nodded, "I may know a thing or two about the reason!"
