Chapter 41 Just a hairy child

Lawyer Pei returned to the mansion and shouted, "Madam, come and have a few drinks with me."

His face was a little red and his face looked red.

Princess Linhai saw that her husband was so happy, and sat beside her with a little curiosity, and filled him with wine.

Lawyer Pei drank three cups in a row and said happily: "It won't be long before we can leave this ghost place. Go back to Chang'an and take you to enjoy your wealth and glory."

Princess Linhai said: "Actually, we are pretty good now, we have no worries about food and clothing, and Chengxian is also obedient and sensible..."

"Women's views, women's views!" Lawyer Pei said twice in a row, saying, "What's this good? The goodness of my father is really good. Only in Chang'an and under the feet of the emperor can we achieve great success. What can Chengxian do in Bianzhou? Be a minor official? What's the use? My Pei family's son, if he wants to be a minister, he will be the prime minister. In Bianzhou, he will never be able to get out of it for the rest of his life. I want to let the princess, as a princess, talk with the imperial decree, so that our son will not have to take the imperial examination, nor will he have to accumulate merits from the minor official, but will directly enjoy the beautiful scenery and the green clouds. Only in Chang'an can he enter the temple be qualified to enjoy all this."

Princess Linhai was speechless.

Lawyer Pei smashed the wine glass in his hand onto the table and said, "We originally had all this."

His father is Pei Ji.

That was a well-known figure back then.

Li Yuan’s most trusted subordinates were like a terrible person and were really as close as brothers. It was just because of the Liu Wenjing case that he was thinking about Li Shimin and he did not have enough talent, so he put on his shoes.

It was not until the sixth year of Zhenguan that Pei Ji made great contributions to the rebellion of Pingshan Qiang. He was pardoned by Li Shimin and summoned him back to the court. But at this time Pei Ji had passed away from illness...

Lawyer Pei was also promoted to become the governor of Bianzhou.

Lawyer Pei had a happy childhood since childhood. His father was the most important official in the temple. Li Yuan regarded him as his son and married the sixteenth daughter, Princess Linhai. Everything was beautiful.

However, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and his father was demoted again and again. He first rushed back to his hometown and then exiled to Jingzhou.

Lawyer Pei saw the mobs there with his own eyes in the deserted land of Jingzhou, which made him understand a truth. If he wanted to not step on his feet, he could only climb up regardless of everything.

"By the way, do you know that the King of Shang was ordered by the emperor to go south and rest in the inn."

Princess Linhai thought for a while and asked, "King Shang? That's Yuan Ai. I remember he was particularly fond of his father?"

She is Li Yuan's sixteenth daughter, but she is much older than Li Yuanai. She betrothed to Lawyer Pei very early and got married at the age of twelve.

In the past ten years, the impression in Princess Linhai's mind was almost gone. If Li Yuanai had not been loved by Li Yuan, she would have no memory.

Lawyer Pei nodded and said, "It's Li Yuanai, the prince of the palace girl!"

Princess Linhai said unhappily: "What happened to the palace maid who said the husband? If she hadn't sacrificed her life to save her father, she wouldn't know what was going on."

"Okay, my fault!" Lawyer Pei didn't have any apology on his face, but instead said with a mockery look on his face, "Tomorrow, I'll invite him to come to the mansion. It's considered a sibling or a brother, and it's good to reminisce about the past."

Princess Linhai has been leaving Chang'an for fifteen years and has not seen any brothers and sisters in the fifteen years. However, when she heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red and she said with a trembling voice: "Okay, I also want to know some news about brothers and sisters in Beijing. Good to meet, good to meet."

Lawyer Pei was a little confused when he saw his wife happily, and drank a few drinks on his own and said, "Madam, don't be too sad. The Shang King will live in Bianzhou for a long time in the future. There are many opportunities to meet..." He said as he explained in detail the burden Li Yuanai was carrying.

Princess Linhai looked surprised and said, "Do you want to build a dam in the Bian River?"

"Of course!" said Lawyer Pei: "The King of Shang is indeed extraordinary. He can think of this idea of ​​storing water from the sluice gate, raising the water level of the riverbed, and allowing grain ships to pass through. This dam is indispensable to require local support. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over Bianzhou are unavoidable."

"No!" Princess Linhai said: "Didn't you think of a solution to the governance of the Bian River? It seems that you are guiding Luo River into the Bian River, which can ensure the entire Bian River and pass through all seasons..."

"Stop!" Lawyer Pei's face suddenly changed and he said angrily: "This matter must not be mentioned."

Princess Linhai was so scared that her face turned pale.

Lawyer Pei held Princess Linhai with both hands and said, "Madam, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is a wonderful way to draw Luo River into Bian River, but if you really want to report to the court, the officials of Luozhou will benefit from it, and it has nothing to do with our Bianzhou. I thought before that I had more or less accomplishments. Now the situation is different. The court chooses a place to build a sluice dam. We will shoulder the heavy responsibility and share the worries of the court. As long as the construction is beautiful, this is a real political achievement. Now, I am the governor of a state, and furthermore, I will enter the capital and become an official. We cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Princess Linhai said: "But the person who decided to build a dam on the Bian River is the King of Shang, and... how much labor is needed to build a dam..."

"How can I not know what the wife said!" Lawyer Pei interrupted directly: "Some things cannot be achieved at the same time. The wife does not consider the husband, but also considers our Chengxian. Chengxian is about to perform the ceremony, but he falls in love with Miss Cui. The Cui family doesn't even look at us, so how could he agree to this marriage? Chengxian's temper, you don't know that Miss Cui will not marry. Now, only if I make meritorious and enter the six ministries, can I have the confidence to come to ask for marriage."

Princess Linhai stopped talking for a moment.

This matter involves his own son. Princess Linhai had no choice in an instant and sighed: "Will the King of Shang follow him? He is wise and far away, and may not be satisfied."

Lawyer Pei smiled confidently and said, "What a wise man? Madam, tell you. Talent and accidental communication are two different things. The King of Shang is a strange man, but he is less than twenty, just a furious child, and has never experienced the storm. What do you know? Today I have created enough power for myself. In his eyes, I am afraid that I am a governor, and I am a capable person. He knows nothing about the Bianhe River, so how can I not consult me? Also, my wife rest assured that although your husband is a little utilitarian, he is not a traitor and evil person, so you don't have to worry about the people's labor too much. According to the current situation, when the construction of the dam is really started, it must be delayed until winter. Winter is the slack season, and the people are eager to be corvee at this time. If you have a place to eat and live, you don't have to waste your home and eat in vain. This is a win-win situation..."

"That's good, that's good!"

Princess Linhai kept nodding.
