Pei Yun stood in front of the table, looking at the simple living room with his hands behind his back. It was really a bit shabby. The old red brick floor was paved with a half-old table, and two soft mats. There was nothing else.

This is also called a living room? What would that ordinary living room look like? The dignified Imperial College Priest, even the temporary residence in Jiangdu, would not be so shabby.

Of course, Pei Yun also knew that this was the characteristic of the Hebei family. He liked to deliberately show his poverty. To put it bluntly, it was a bit of a fame and reputation.

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

This is, Lu Zhuo's laughter came from the hall, "It's been a long time since Uncle Pei Shi."

Pei Yun is only two years younger than Pei Ju, and is nearly 70 years old. He is of the same generation as Lu Zhuo’s father Lu Shen. When Lu Zhuo was a child, he followed his father to visit Pei Yun. Pei Yun’s sternness left a deep memory for Lu Zhuo, so until now Lu Zhuo is still a little afraid of Pei Yun, especially when Pei Yun has the power of supervision, which makes all officials even more shocked.

"I heard that my nephew is not in good health?" Pei Yun asked with a smile barely.

"A little headache, an old problem."

Lu Zhuo walked into the hall and said, "The guest hall is a bit shabby, please don't laugh at me."

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

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

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

"Oh! Then I'm relieved. At our age, we must pay special attention to maintenance and not be careless at all. Speaking of which, I envy your father for being able to live a long life at home. Unlike us, hey! He's just working hard."

Lu Zhuo sneered in his heart, holding the power of supervision, and others were not in this life, but he did not dare to show it on his face, and he bowed and said, "I just heard from my nephew that Uncle Shi thought I would be in trouble."

"It's not that you are not going well, but that you are going to be in trouble."

Pei Yun's straightforwardness changed Lu Zhuo's face and he couldn't say a word.

Pei Yun smiled and said, "Of course, it's nothing wrong now. I just hope that my nephew can plan ahead and make plans early."

Lu Zhuo came to his senses a little and asked in a low voice: "Can Uncle Shi say what happened?"

"The nephew knows why the emperor wants to re-appoint his son-in-law?"

Pei Yun's words were just about Lu Zhuo's thoughts. He originally thought that his son-in-law was young and had little experience, so he was named Duke like this. This was indeed a bit unreasonable, but he was blinded by various congratulations and forgot his initial worries. Pei Yun's words reminded him of his initial worries.

He hurriedly said, "I also think it's a bit unreasonable, but I can't see through it. Please give me some advice."

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Pei Yun lowered his voice and said, "I tell my nephew a top secret news. The emperor wants to attack Li Yuan, but he was re-signed to him just to stabilize Zhang Xuan. Once the emperor solves Li Yuan, the next one is to attack Zhang Xuan."

Lu Zhuo's face turned pale in an instant. Sure enough, there was a problem. It turned out that he just wanted to stabilize his son-in-law. He asked in a trembling voice: "When will he take action?"

"I don't know this. This is what the emperor just decided. At present, only three people know that the nephew is the fourth person, and it is related to his wealth, life and must not be told."

Lu Zhuo's heart was in a mess. He knew that Pei Yun would not lie to him. This matter must be true, but when will the emperor be planning to attack Zhang Xuan?

Pei Yun said lightly again: "I guess my nephew doesn't understand what I mean. No matter how the emperor takes action, Zhang Xuan will not be afraid. The emperor cannot hurt him. The key is that he is. Once the emperor turns against Zhang Xuan, the nephew will inevitably be imprisoned. This is what I said is the disaster."

Of course, Lu Zhuo understood that once the court army started a war with Zhang Xuan, he would be implicated. What should he do? For a moment, Lu Zhuo was panicked and did not realize why Pei Yun told him about this.

At this time, Pei Yun coughed gently, and the cough was like a wake-up call. Lu Zhuo responded immediately. He was really confused. Didn’t Pei Yun come for this? Otherwise, what would he do?

Lu Zhuo hurriedly knelt down and gave a big gift, "Please teach me Uncle Shi!"

"You are not polite, we are a family friend. Of course I will help you. In fact, I am here to give you a clear path. Can you trust me?"

Lu Zhuo saw a ray of light in the darkness, and it seemed as if a drowning man had caught a piece of wood and hurriedly said, "What is Uncle Shi saying? How could I not believe Uncle Shi!"

"If a nephew wants to avoid disaster, the best way is to resign from his post and return to his hometown. However, at this point, the emperor will definitely not agree. The second is to be transferred to the place to be the prefect, but I think the emperor may not approve it. Zhang Xuan refused to send his son to Beijing as a hostage. The nephew is actually a hostage. My brother and I discussed it. Maybe there is a way to help the nephew avoid disaster."

Lu Zhuo was very happy, "Uncle Shi, please tell me!"

Pei Yun stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Now the Central Plains disaster, the imperial court's comfort envoy has not decided the candidate. If a nephew becomes a comfort envoy and stays outside for a few months, wouldn't it be a disguised way to avoid disaster?"

"But will the Lord agree?" Lu Zhuo asked hesitantly.

"Of course, the Lord of the Lord will not agree, but with me and my brother working from it, this matter may not be necessary to pass the Lord of the Lord, but will be decided by the Lord of Yan. At that time, who will be recommended as the comforting envoy will be the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate."

Lu Zhuo suddenly realized that the Ministry of Personnel was in the hands of Pei Ju and the Censorate was in the hands of Pei Yun. If they jointly recommended themselves as the envoy of comforting, the King of Yan would definitely agree.

only

After all, Lu Zhuo was the head of the Lu family. He slowly calmed down and realized that Pei Yun had something to come to the door. He must have the conditions to help him with this big favor.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhuo implicitly tempted: "Uncle Shi is so kind, how can I thank my nephew for thanking me?"

Pei Yun smiled and said, "There is another news that I forgot to tell my nephew that my brother has decided to cancel the marriage with Cui. Frankly speaking, I have always firmly opposed my brother marrying his granddaughter to Cui Wenxiang. This person is frivolous and stupid, forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit and has lost his virtues. He will not be the lord of the Cui family in Boling in the future. I have repeatedly persuaded my brother, and now my brother has finally accepted my advice."

Lu Zhuo remained silent for a moment. Of course, he knew why Pei Yun said this. Cui Pei's marriage was actually to help Cui Zhao deal with him. Since the marriage between Cui Lu and Lu families broke up, Cui Zhao has regarded him as an enemy. Thanks to Zhang Xuan, the Lu family's reputation among the Hebei gentry has continued to rise. He has replaced Cui Zhao as the leader of the Hebei gentry. Cui Zhao wanted to regain the position of leader, so he held Pei Ju's thigh.

Now Pei Yun made a clear statement to cancel the marriage, which is actually telling himself that the Pei family will no longer help Cui Zhao deal with him, that is, the Pei Cui alliance is about to disappear. This is Pei Yun's obvious showing of kindness to him, so how could Lu Zhuo not hear it?

But Pei Yun repeatedly pleased him. What exactly did he want to ask for him?

Lu Zhuo sighed and said, "I fully understand Uncle Shi's intentions. Uncle Shi will say it clearly! What do you need your nephew to do? As long as your nephew can do it, you will definitely not refuse!"

Pei Yun said everything he should say. Since Lu Zhuo already understood his purpose, he was no longer implicit and tactful, so he slowly said: "The nephew should also know that the Pei family was going to recruit Zhang Xuan as his son-in-law, but it was not successful in the end."

Lu Zhuo's face changed. He suddenly understood what Pei Yun meant, and immediately said anxiously: "Zhang Xuan has married a little daughter. Isn't it meaningless to talk about this matter now?"

"Listen to me to finish my words."

Pei Yun smiled and continued, "At the time when the Pei family made a mistake, he should have betrothed General Zhang with his legitimate daughter, but in the end it was my granddaughter Zhizhi and General Zhang who had a blind date, which was a bit neglected General Zhang. It is too late to regret it now. However, a real man should have three wives and four concubines. I want to betrothed General Zhang again. My nephew also knows that this matter is decided by General Zhang, so I hope my nephew can help me."

Lu Zhuo couldn't speak for a long time. It turned out that Pei Yun was for this purpose. Pei Zhizhi knew that it was born to Pei Xuanqi and his maid. He looked very good. 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 nicer statement. In fact, she is a concubine. As Pei Zhizhi's identity as a concubine, it is not impossible to be a flat wife. But what is the status of the Pei family? Ordinary officials who can marry the Pei family's concubine daughter will burn incense. Now the Pei family actually wants to give the concubine daughter to Zhang Xuan as a concubine.

Lu Zhuo suddenly felt an indescribable pride. The Lu family unknowingly overwhelmed the Pei family, the most powerful gentry of the Great Sui Dynasty. This was really unexpected!

"Can your nephew agree?" Pei Yun stared at Lu Zhuo with bright eyes.

How could Lu Zhuo not agree? He also had to rely on the Pei brothers to help him leave Jiangdu to avoid disaster!

Lu Zhuo nodded, "Okay! I'll write a letter to the little girl tonight."
