Pei Ju still lives in the East Courtyard, living with the King of Dai Yangyou. The East Courtyard is a guest room, and can only walk through the outer house. There is no door connected to the inner house. In fact, it is 60xs to form a house.

The East Courtyard is composed of more than ten small courtyards, with more than one hundred rooms. It used to be a staff member who lived in Yang Liang, but now only Pei Ju and Yang You live.

When Yang Yuanqing walked to the East Courtyard, dozens of personal soldiers were carrying boxes for them, mainly various books. In fact, these books were all Yang Yuanqing's books and gave them to Yang You.

In the study, Yang Youzheng and Pei Ju put the books in the box on the bookshelf one by one. The two of them were posing books while chatting and joking.

"Mr. Pei, after arriving in Taiyuan, there should be a lot of books!"

"What's the point of Taiyuan? If you have time, go to Peixue County and check out the Pei family's library. Let me tell you that there are tens of thousands of bamboo slips, silk books and paper books. That is the ocean of books. After I retired from the officialdom, I lived in the library and died in it."

When Yang You heard him say the word "death", he couldn't help but grin and said, "Wenxi County is too far away. There should be many bookstores or library in Taiyuan!"

"It must be. By the way, the Wang family's library also has tens of thousands of books. It's just south of the city. When will I go and see you?"

"Okay! We'll go tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, there are a lot of things to be done."

Pei Ju suddenly saw Yang Yuanqing's figure appearing in front of the window. He smiled and said, "You continue to place it, I'll go out."

Pei Ju walked out of the study and pointed at Yang Yuanqing at the room next to him. The two walked into a room next to him.

"How does grandfather feel about this battle in Hedong?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile when he entered the house.

Pei Ju sat down and laughed and said, "Yes, I planned to take Hedong before the New Year, but I didn't expect to take it in mid-August. It's great! I don't have to spend the winter in Fengzhou. I'm afraid of the cold in Fengzhou."

Speaking of this, he shivered with an exaggerated look, his shoulders shrank, as if he was trembling with cold. Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. He found that Pei Ju had a bit of humor in his bones.

"It will be comfortable to come to Taiyuan. In two months, I will go back to Wenxi Pei's family and be the head of the family for several years."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, "Grandfather, Hedong has just been taken down and we want to establish a new system. There are so many things to do. How can you leave just by saying that?"

Pei Ju narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Isn't it good to let young people do it? My eldest grandson Pei Jin, Pei Shiqing, and your two inner brothers, Pei Zhu and Pei Ming, are both talented people. I should give them the seat."

Yang Yuanqing understood Pei Ju's meaning. He wanted to cultivate young children in the family and he wanted to give way. Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "But now I need a qualified minister to take charge of the court for me and attract talented people in the world. Can my grandfather help me for a few more years?"

The smile on Pei Ju's face disappeared, and he said solemnly: "Yuanqing, I hope you understand that your power is not supported by a few ministers, but by the support of the entire Shandong gentry. I believe you have already experienced it in the process of taking over Hedong."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. He did realize that after taking over Hedong, several important figures of the Pei family traveled to various counties and counties to convince local officials to support him. It was the Pei family's strong reputation that made all counties and counties in Hedong submit support. The powerful households of each county donated money and rice, and the warriors signed up to join the army. The writers wrote letters to ask for help, and there were endless streams in front of the gate, and they rushed to each other every day.

There is also the support of the Wang family, which allows the entire north of Taiyuan to quickly stabilize. This is something that ordinary bandits cannot get. The support of the landlord class.

"I understand, I also understand it. But I still hope that my grandfather can stay and be a member of the Pei family for another two years. I can let them go to the local government first and then slowly promote them."

Pei Ju's face regained a relaxed smile, "If it's only two years, you can consider it. In fact, you don't know the strength of my Pei family. When one day your family can't get rid of the blame, I will ask the family to send Minqiu some money and food."

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Thank you grandfather!"

At this time, Pei Ju stood up and walked out. After a moment, he came back and closed the door. Then he sat down and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Do you know why I wanted King Dai to enter Taiyuan City on the way?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I don't know, I'm here to find my grandfather for this."

Pei Ju sighed, "Because Yang You doesn't want to ascend the throne again, he wants to give up his future throne to you. He only wants to be an ordinary person, like other young people, be able to study in school, go out for fun with everyone, and live to be seventy years old like me, with a lot of children and grandchildren."

Yang Yuanqing said for a while: "Is this what he meant by himself? Or is it his grandfather who advised him."

"Everything! His idea is ahead, and living to the age of 70 is my suggestion. Yang You is a child very good. I don't want him to die suddenly from illness one day."

Pei Ju stared at Yang Yuanqing with a serious look, "I think you can consider crossing Yang You and becoming emperor directly. Maybe you will lose some support, but at the same time you will also gain new support. For example, the Shandong gentry will not cause much damage to you."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head. Pei Ju's suggestion had also been considered, but if it doesn't work, he would be the emperor if he occupied a Hedong. He would lose the support of many people, including the soldiers of Fengzhou army. They must wait until the time is right.

"I understand what my grandfather meant and thanked him for his kindness, but I am still planning to support the throne of the Dian King as planned. As for my grandfather's concern that one day he will die suddenly, there is no need to worry about this at all. I will handle it well and will let him live to be seventy years old like his grandfather and have a lot of children."

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, Yang You ran in from outside, knelt in front of Yang Yuanqing, lowered his head and cried, "Second uncle, I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be an ordinary person."

Yang Yuanqing touched his head. This twelve-year-old boy comforted him softly: "After all, I am not a royal family. If I ascend the throne, it will be unjust. You are the grandson of the Great Sui Dynasty. You should inherit the throne of the grandfather. Moreover, I promised your grandfather that I will always be the shield of the Great Sui Dynasty. I also promised your father that you three brothers can live a peaceful life. I will fulfill my promise. One day, I will find a more suitable person. I will let you abdicate and let you be a rich man and live your second half of your life quietly."

The fear in Yang You's eyes went a little bit, but he still shook his head and said, "But I don't want to deal with the court affairs, and I don't want to live in the deep palace. I just want to go back to the county school to study."

Yang Yuanqing laughed. This child is indeed very smart. He is good at protecting himself. Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "You will not come into contact with any memorials or any government affairs. Just study quietly in Jinyang Palace. If you want a schoolmate, I will arrange for the child to come to Jinyang Palace to study with you and play with you, but you must do this emperor."

...........

Yang Yuanqing left the East Courtyard. He was a little annoyed. In fact, some things cannot be explained too clearly, just like making Yang You the emperor, Yang Yuanqing will replace Yang You sooner or later. This is obvious, and everyone knows that he doesn't want to say this. But Pei Ju led him over and said seriously that he would replace Yang You now.

Yang Yuanqing also knew that Pei Ju must have told Yang You that she would die suddenly in the future, so that Yang You would be so scared and said things that were unwilling to deal with court affairs, so that Yang Yuanqing had to appease Yang You, and said something that should not have been said, leaving him in a passive manner.

The situation is very obvious now. Even if Yang Guang dies, Yang Yuanqing will not be able to ascend the throne to the emperor now. The time is far from ripe. He does not believe that Pei Ju's cunning will not understand this truth. Pei Ju is actually acting, and his real purpose is still four words, family interests.

If Yang Yuanqing ascended the throne now, then civil officials such as Cui Junsu, Du Ruhui may not support him anymore. Without the support of these civil officials, he could only rely on the Pei family, and the Pei family could become the biggest force under his command.

That's why Pei Ju took retreat as an advancement. He proposed to return to Wenxi to retire. In fact, is he really willing to leave? People's hearts are so complicated! He is a little more childish. He will be played with by these old guys.

Yang Yuanqing was upset here. Although he understood Pei Ju's heart, he still had to reuse Pei Ju.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the East Courtyard, he saw Jiang Peihua coming with a maid swaying and colorfully. Jiang Peihua married him at the beginning of the year and ranked third among his wives and concubines, second only to Minqiu and Chuchen.

Jiang Peihua is Yang Xiong's youngest daughter, Yang Guang's niece, and Yang You's princess. She came to see Yang You's situation.

She was stunned when Yang Yuanqing walked out of the East Courtyard with an unhappy look on her face, "Yuan Qing, what happened?"

Yang Yuanqing sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not in a good mood. Please accompany me for a walk."

Jiang Peihua nodded and pointed to the East Courtyard, "I'll go see You'er and come with you right away."

Yang Yuanqing grabbed her arm and dragged her to her side, "Your nephew is now tidying up the bookshelf with Mr. Pei, but your husband is very upset. You can accompany me."

When Jiang Peihua heard that he called Pei Ju the Prince Pei, he was a little surprised, so he smiled and said, "Okay! I'll accompany you to the back garden. I heard Min Qiu say it's very good and I haven't seen it yet!"

The two of them slowly walked towards the back garden. The back garden of the mansion was very large, covering an area of ​​twenty acres, of which ten acres of lake surface alone were planted with metasequoia, willows and camphor trees. It was already Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was getting colder, and the fallen leaves covered the path. They walked slowly along the stone road.

"Yuanqing, are you worried about the boundary between public and private?" Jiang Peihua was smart. She guessed that Yang Yuanqing was worried because of Pei Ju.

Yang Yuanqing nodded and sighed slightly. Although Jiang Peihua became his wife, she was often his friend. She was smart, understanding, and had a brain. When he was depressed, she would listen quietly to his confession.

Jiang Peihua held Yang Yuanqing's arm and said softly: "Yuanqing, actually, you should not take it too seriously. Everyone will consider their own family. This is human nature, but while considering the family, he will protect your interests, because your interests are consistent, and you still have a long way to go. Now it is just the beginning. If you have a heart disease at the beginning, it will be difficult to get along in the future. Just like when we get along with our sisters, everyone will be jealous and conflicted, but everyone will still get along happily, because we all know that the days in the future are still long, so we all try to look at each other's strengths. Yuanqing, I think you are the same. Be more considerate of the other party and think more about the role he can play, then your troubles will be solved."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, then gently hugged her shoulder and smiled: "How kind God has to me, I always give me the best woman."

Jiang Peihua smiled gently and held Yang Yuanqing's hand, "So too!"
