Rebirth at the turn of the Zhou and Sui dynasties

Chapter 415 Pei's Father and Son
The people of Jinyang relished the fact that after many years, when King Yan was accepting his side concubine, Wenxi's Pei family and Xie County's Liu's family also successively sent people to serve.

In fact, after Yang Guang came to the throne, Wen Xi Pei was reused, such as Pei Yun and Pei Ju, these people were close civil servants around Yang Guang.

But the aristocratic family has always been like this. Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son are close to Boling Sancui and entrust them with important tasks. There is still Boling Cui's second wife who defected to Yuwentai.

Only by betting on both sides can we be invincible.

Wen Xi Pei's surrender also made the father and son in the Jinyang Prison finally bow their heads to Cui Che.

Pei Renji was nearly forty years old. In the early years of Emperor Kaihuang, he started his family as a left guard and lived in the palace. He was brave and good at fighting, and he was good at riding and shooting. He was sent to Hanwang Mansion as the commander of the guards.

When Yang Liang raised his army, Pei Renji tried hard to persuade Yang Liang not to rebel, which made Yang Liang furious, and sent him and his son Pei Xingyan to prison.

Since Cui Che took over Jinyang, he knew that the Pei family father and son were taken into custody, but he didn't care about it.

His attitude towards these two people is very complicated.

Of course Cui Che knew that Pei Xingyan was the prototype of Pei Yuanqing, the third hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Romance, and in the official history, the Pei family father and son were also fierce generals, especially Pei Xingyan, known as the enemy of ten thousand people.

This is different from normal times, Cui Che has long gone to the prison to act, but the Pei family father and son are different after all.

Although they took refuge in Li Mi and Wang Shichong successively, they were actually forced to be helpless, and they were still loyal to the Sui Dynasty in their bones.

Li Mi and Wang Shichong treated them very politely, and Wang Shichong even married his niece to Pei Xingyan who was separated from his wife in the troubled times.

However, after Wang Shichong became emperor, the Pei family father and son were planning to attack and kill Wang Shichong, revive the Sui Dynasty, and were eventually annihilated.

Undoubtedly, Cui Che will still follow the old path of seeking to usurp the throne in the future, so he simply turned a blind eye to the Pei family father and son in prison.

Regardless of the great reputation of Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan and his son in later generations, Pei Renji also has an unborn son, Pei Xingjian, whose reputation is even higher than that of his father and brother.

However, Pei Renji's current official position is humble, and it's normal for him not to notice a guard commander in the prison.

After people from the Wenxi Pei family visited Cui Che and mentioned the Pei family father and son, Cui Che then ordered the father and son to be brought here.

Mai Zhongcai did not immediately bring the Pei family father and son to Cui Che.

Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan had been imprisoned for more than half a year, and now they were unkempt and smelly, and after Mai Zhongcai took them out of the cell, he set about arranging to bathe them.

After changing into clean clothes, Mai Zhong brought Pei's father and son to the main hall of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan greeted Cui Che, but Cui Che scolded:

"Yang Guang's murder of his father is intolerable. Why did Pei Yitong prevent the saint from raising troops to avenge his father!"

It is impossible for Pei Renji to answer: Yang Guang's murder of his father is just your one-sided statement without conclusive evidence, so it is not credible.

He had no choice but to confess to Cui Che again and again.

Only then did Cui Che ease his expression, and he said to the Pei family father and son:
"Gu never pushes people. If your father and son want to serve Kansai and don't want to serve, you can leave. Gu will never make things difficult."

It's just that there is no embarrassment in saying that if the Pei family and his son are really determined to go to Kansai, Mai Zhong will take the bow and kill Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan and his son.

Pei Xingyan looked at his father, not to mention that he is still young, he is only a 16-year-old boy, even if he has passed the crown ceremony, he still has to obey his father Pei Renji.

Pei Renji didn't hesitate for too long, he kowtowed and said:
"Your Majesty rescued my father and son from the cage. There is no way to repay your kindness. Pei is willing to do his best for His Majesty, assist His Majesty, and avenge the late Emperor."

Pei Xingyan also immediately echoed his father.

Cui Che nodded when he heard that. He was slightly dissatisfied with what Pei Renji said in his heart to assist him in order to avenge the late emperor, but he didn't show it.

After Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan were brought down to resettle, Cui Che sat alone in the main hall and whispered to himself:

"Father and son of the Pei family, after all, their hearts are towards the Sui family.

"Forget it, now is the time to employ people, let's use them first, and really wait until the time to usurp the throne, and then let their father and son seize power and idle."

Although the Pei family's father and son have taken refuge in Cui Che, they will not be reused immediately. Pei Renji's official position is humble and he has not made any achievements. Why should he be entrusted with important tasks.

Compared with Xue Daoheng and Xue family Sanfeng from the Xue family in Fenyin, and Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan from the Wenxi Pei family, the children of the Liu family in Xie County were much more mediocre in talent and quality, and there were no figures that Cui Che was familiar with.

However, after passing the school examination, he also used his talents according to the children of Wenxi Pei's family and Xiexian Liu's family.

With Mai Tiezhang holding Yang Liang's edict, he successfully took over Daizhou, Shuozhou and other places. In a broad sense, the 52 states of Hebei are now under Cui Che's rule. Therefore, Cui Che urgently needs a large number of civil servants to govern for him. place.

Fortunately, he came from a famous family. After receiving the support of the Hebei gentry, Cui Che successively gained support from the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hedong three clans.

It can also cope with the rapid expansion of the territory.

However, Cui Che also knew that he could not completely rely on the gentry, so he imitated Wei Wudi Cao Cao and issued an order to seek talents in Jinyang.

For a while, many talented people from poor families came to join him. Of course, this is all for later.

When Yang Su returned to Daxing, Yang Guang had already learned that the front line was defeated, and he originally intended to take this opportunity to severely punish Yang Su.

After all, Yang Su was in the Order of the Minister, and after defeating Yang Liang's more than elites from Hedong in the Battle of Shayuan, Yang Guang felt like a thorn in his back, which also made him jealous.

It's just that Yu Wenshu persuaded Yang Guang:

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can Yang Xiang be punished because of temporary gains and losses.

What's more, Xiang Yang's defeat was caused by the roar of the soldiers, and it cannot be attributed to Xiang Yang.

"Now the power of thieves should not be underestimated. The court is employing people, and Yang Xiang is a famous general in the world. Please forgive his crimes. '

Since Cui Che's threat exists objectively, Yang Guang can still listen to his persuasion at this time.

Therefore, when Yang Su returned to Daxing, Yang Guang not only did not blame Yang Su, but even comforted him with kind words, which greatly moved Yang Su.

Back in the mansion, Yang Su sighed to his son Yang Xuan:

"When misfortune comes, good fortune rests on it; when good fortune comes, misfortune rests on it."

The things in the world are so wonderful, obviously Yang Su lost the battle in Hedong, but it also made Yang Guang less afraid of him.

It's just that Yang Xuangan clearly saw the disappointment behind his father's rejoicing, which could not be concealed.

Perhaps in his heart, what he cares most about is the outcome with Cui Che.

Yang Xuangan said comfortingly:
"Father just lost a game, and now he has a useful body, and he will have a chance to avenge his shame in the future!"
