Chapter 42: Intention to force the palace
Kudi's words surprised Pei Min, and "take over the Pei family" was a little confused about what it meant.
Which Pei family is the Pei family??
Is it the middle and eastern family room of Pei, Hedong, where Kudi is located, or even?
"But I don't know what the old lady meant?" Pei Min was not clear about Kudi's intention, so he decided to respond to changes with the unchanging.
When Kudi comes to talk to him, he must ask for something. It is better to judge what she says before listening to what she says.
The Kudi family is old and can be regarded as a person who is respected by a generation of Confucian general Pei Xingjian and the Empress Wu Zetian at the same time. It is not easy to say, "The Duke of the Kingdom helped the dog son before, and the old woman remembered it. When she learned about Lingtang's experience, she also knew that she had the intention of entering the ancestral hall. The old woman claimed to be some reputation in the clan, so she went to Wenxi's hometown to find the clan leader to talk about this matter. However, the chief of the tribe was shirking all his responsibility for this matter, saying that the Duke of the Kingdom of the tribe did not care about the kindness of the nurturing tribe and left the Pei family independently. This style cannot be long, which is ridiculous and stupid. I don't know what the old guy has to say this."
Kudi did not have any respect for the head of the family, and directly called him "old guy". She was originally the Hu girl who Pei Xingjian knew in the Western Regions. She had an unparalleled famous general of the Tang Dynasty as her husband, and was valued by Wu Zetian, and was the most honorable among the destiny women. She was the straightforward and despised etiquette and law, and under Pei Xingjian's words and deeds, she had the delicate and exquisite heart of the Central Plains woman.
The current aristocratic families are not the aristocratic families of those days. The aristocratic families were worshipped by the children of the world. Their status was supreme in the hearts of the Shilin, and they were often able to surpass the imperial power. However, through Wu Zetian's fierce killing, the status of the aristocratic families plummeted and could no longer completely replace the Shilin. In addition, the status of the imperial examinations became increasingly heavy, and scholars no longer rely on the aristocratic families to be promoted. The aristocratic families lost a large source of talents and showed their disadvantages.
It is not obvious yet, but a hundred years later, the poor families of the common people had Niu Sengru and Li Zongmin as representatives of the aristocratic family, and Zheng Qin, and others for forty years. In the end, Niu Sengru and Li Zongmin achieved the final victory, and the era of controlling the stern family of aristocratic families officially ended. The Huang Chao Uprising later directly pushed the aristocratic family to destruction.
Although the current aristocratic families have not yet fallen to such an extent, the scene of defeat has already appeared.
In recent years, neither the five surnames and Qiwang family nor the Hedong Pei family have an advantage in the court. Now, there is only one of the eight prime ministers in the court. Lu Huaishen is from the upper class. Because of his sense of existence, he is unable to speak and refuses to make a fuss when encountering problems. He is ridiculed by the court officials as the "prime minister with food" and is a prime minister who knows how to eat.
Even the five surnames and seven hopes are all this kind of virtue. The Pei family in Hedong, which is one of the second best, is naturally not much better.
The Pei family was actually quite lucky. When Wu Zetian was ruthlessly attacking the aristocratic family, there were five surnames and seven hopes in front of him. Not long after Pei Xingjian passed away, Pei Xingjian's youngest son Pei Guangting married Wu Sansi's daughter and became the son-in-law of the Wu family. He blocked many disasters for the Pei family. The family's strength was not very damaged. However, there was still no existence in the court who could be more capable than Pei Min.
"It's really stupid!" Pei Min only said these four words about the choice of the head of the Pei family.
Now even if the entire Pei family looks at his status, it is still there, not to mention the potential of future potential and Li Longji's reputation, these potential values.
The most important reason why aristocratic families can exist for hundreds of thousands of years is that they complement each other's resources. The clansmen rely on the cultivation of their families to enter the official career and achieve great achievements. When the clansmen enter the court, they have power in their hands and can feed back the family. On the one hand, they can support them, and on the other hand, they can also cultivate confidants, benefit each other, and form a huge interest group.
Interest is the basic foundation for maintaining friendship.
As long as it is profitable, no one will break this rule. It will be passed down from generation to generation, and even if the dynasties change, the chain of interests will not be broken.
Pei Min is now extremely civilized and has great martial arts. He has a certain status in the court and is also a minor official in the border area. It is only a matter of time before he can become a major official. At that time, he will have many resource positions in his hands and need various talents to fill them. These vacant positions are what the aristocratic families dream of.
Pei Min didn't have any special feelings about the Pei family. He has come to this point today, except for being enlightened by the school in his early years, and has nothing to do with the Pei family. However, as a son of Pei, it is necessary to fulfill his wish for her. He conveyed goodwill to the Pei family through Pei Guangting. As long as he could fulfill Pei's wish, he didn't mind helping the Pei family at the right time, but there was no news yet.
If the Pei family had enough confidence in the early years, it might not be so-called. What reason does the Pei family have to be picky?
Apart from stupidity, there is only another explanation.
Kudi said: "As the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, I don't want to see the Pei family decline. The actions of the master's family over the years have made the people in the clan stand up for it. Instead of waiting for the tribe to lose, it is better to break the situation and break it up later. The old patriarch is getting older, and many things are inevitable that they will stick to the rules and do not know how to adapt. It is natural to take the talented people instead."
Pei Min heard what she said about the palace to force her to be so high-sounding, and did not laugh secretly, "Who is this wise man? It's not me?"
Kudi shook his head and said, "The Duke of the Kingdom is joking. He is worthy of his talent. But the Duke of the Kingdom is in a high position, so he has no extra time to deal with trivial matters in the family. However, the new family leader must take the interests of the Duke of the Kingdom, and the family resources revolve around the development of the Duke of the Kingdom. Although the Duke of the Kingdom is not the head of the family, it is related to the interests of the Pei family. The profit lies in the people's desire. For the Duke of the Kingdom, the so-called chief of the family is just a title."
Pei Min was calculating on gains and losses of interests, and he was not worried that Kudi would deceive him into plotting against him. The current situation is that the Pei family wants to hold him and have a mutually beneficial interest relationship with him. He is not going to ask for anything to strengthen the Pei family. The Pei family’s support is icing on the cake for him, but his support for the Pei family is considered a timely help. These are two completely different concepts.
Pei Min's performance like a blow-out of the well has forced the Pei family to make it difficult for him to make the situation. It was precisely because of the wrong decision of the head of the family that he even deposed the contemporary head of the family to hold him in his thigh.
Seeing that Pei Min was considering the gains and losses, Kudi said again: "As long as things are done, no one dares to say anything about Lingtang's intentions, so there is no need to say anything about entering the ancestral hall."
"What about my father? How about the grievances that my father and mother suffered in their early years? And my grandfather? Although I don't know the details of that year, there is nothing wrong with it, and I don't believe anything I say." Pei Min looked at Kudi with a bright look.
Kudi's face changed slightly and he stopped talking for a while.
Pei Min did not understand the old things that happened back then. Aristocratic clans like the Pei family attached great importance to the tribe's inner customs and attached great importance to the reputation of the family. The rumors that old and young are so secretive that they are unfavorable to the tribe are rather rotten than spread. The old things have been around for more than thirty years, and it is not easy to find clues.
However, being able to become the head of the Pei family is definitely not a fool, and it is impossible to see his current status potential. At most, it will take at least five or six years, either one step closer to becoming a prime minister or a chief official.
If a family has the support of a prime minister or a rank of officials, their status will be very different. When faced with such potential stocks, they will not grasp them well, but they will be kept away. If there is no reasonable reason, who would believe it?
Pei Min studied military tactics. He did not have the four words "being more and more" in his dictionary. He could only take advantage of the victory and take advantage of the situation.
If the Pei family had accepted his favor, Pei Min would not have made any detailed considerations in order to achieve his mother's wish, so as not to cause trouble. Now his status and power are completely different from before, and it would have been too much of a loss to ask him to trade with the Pei family under the same conditions.
This time, he not only wanted his mother to enter the ancestral hall, but also wanted to seek justice for his father and grandfather whom he had never met before. The most important thing was to eliminate the self-blame in Pei's mother's heart.
In Pei's mother's heart, Pei's father has always been the young master of the Pei family with a bright future. Because of her, she was forced to exile in the north and died of depression. She regretted this for half her life. If it could be proved that someone could not tolerate Pei's father and deliberately took the opportunity to cause trouble, the situation would be very different.
Kudi is an older generation. Although she is not from the main family, in that era, the resources of the Pei family revolved around Pei Xingjian as the core. Kudi's status may not be inferior to that of the old patriarch. Even if she doesn't know the details of some things, she should have heard of them.
Kudi has indeed heard some "rumors". After all, Pei Min's grandfather is the future head of the Pei family, which is recognized by the clan. He has already begun to take over things in the clan: he fell into a lake and drowned when he fell into a drunken lake. No one can tell whether it was an accident or an accident.
There is no doubt that the biggest profiter is the current head of the Pei family.
But Kudi is a member of the Pei family after all, and he regards the reputation of the Pei family as the top priority. It is a surprise to open up this old case. If it is an accident, it will be a huge scandal.
The most taboo thing in ancient times was to promote family scandals. The two of them did not discuss a common satisfactory result on this matter.
Pei Min and Kudi are both people who know each other well. Even if they don’t get what they want, they are talking and laughing, and they don’t part in a bad mood.
Kudi needs to weigh the pros and cons and understand the situation.
Pei Min sat down to see the rise and fall of the Pei family. To be fair, this lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Pei family in Hedong is no longer a top-notch family. There is no large and strange material of a certain level, but there are a group of Chinese gentry who are carefully trained by the tribe, who can take over the work of all walks of life. The county magistrate and the military ranks can instantly fill the vacant quotas in Taozhou and Shence Army.
With a group of officials, he doesn't need to do many things himself. Not only will it be much easier, but it can also arrange and implement his system accurately and orderly, which is still helpful.
But Pei Min had already given him a face at the beginning, because he didn't care about it, so don't expect him to speak well now?
