Chapter 56: The Husband Pei Xingjian

Imperial City, Zichen Hall.

Pei Xingjian, who had a relaxed eyebrows and an open-minded look, strode into the hall and bowed to him. Li Zhi liked to see his confident and proud manner the most.

A real man should be like this!

Get up to greet him immediately.

"Shangshu Pei, there is no need to be too polite."

In the early Tang Dynasty, when wise ministers and powerful generals gathered, Pei Xingjian was definitely a rare all-round talent who could be literary and martial.

He fought beautifully, was generous, and never treated his subordinates. Later, he came down from the battlefield and served in the Ministry of Personnel.

He was responsible for the selection and appointment of personnel of the Ministry of Personnel, and worked for several years.

Although Pei Xingjian started his career by relying on military merits, he still did not slackew on an important civil servant position as the Ministry of Personnel.

While actively selecting talents for the court, new inventions were also created.

The popular scientific examinations in later generations were first released by Pei Xingjian. Since he was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he has advocated that the selection of talents must be fair and open.

According to the results after each scientific examination, a list was created for the students, with the names, hometowns and other information clearly written on the list.

The ranking of the list is naturally based on the test scores. Once this measure was launched, it immediately received unanimous praise from candidates and examiners.

And it was fixed as a common example.

Li Zhi summoned Pei Xingjian mainly because there was an important thing that he, a minister familiar with military affairs, needed to do.

"Pei Shangshu, the envoy of Gongyue came to report that next spring, they will send an envoy to formally surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

"I think it's most appropriate for you to handle this matter."

The Tang Dynasty was full of vassal states and had close contacts with surrounding tribes and neighboring countries. Welcoming and sending missions to foreign countries were carried out by special institutions.

Honglu Temple is such an organization. The Tang Dynasty also had a special official guesthouse similar to modern times, and was also affiliated to the Honglu Temple, called Honglu Cabin, which was responsible for arranging food and accommodation for foreign missions.

Pei Xingjian responded happily, and Li Zhi's proposal was also normal.

The various ethnic groups of the Gongyue tribe belong to the Western Turkic population and are currently affiliated with the Beiting Protectorate. For a long time, the place where Pei Xingjian fought was nearby. He even knew the customs and customs of the Gongyue tribe more than the officials of the Honglu Temple.

The key is to be familiar and intimate, which is incomparable to the ministers who have been stationed in the Tang Dynasty for many years.

Pei Xingjian is happy to do things, and this is what Li Zhi admires the most.

Defu was neat and took a pair of flowers and a few flowers in the morning. The king and his minister sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Pei Xingjian was cautious and did not lose his temperament. When he heard that he was good at looking at people, Li Zhi asked on a whim: "Are you familiar with Pei Fanxian from the East Voucher Room?"

Pei Xingjian raised his thick eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Isn't this person... a sick person from Dongqianfang?"

Since Pei Fanxian was kicked out of Yongningfang, Pei Xingjian hasn't heard of him for many years. Is this person still alive?

Li Zhi, who is devoted to gossip, can't help but feel a little regretful.

"He is no longer a sick person. My dear, I don't know that this young man has learned to make medicine and has cured all his illnesses!"

"Also, the disease on him is actually the same as Honger. Now Honger is taking the medicine he gave, and even I can't do without it. The effect is quite good!"

Everyone has the heart of gossip. Since Pei Xingjian didn’t know Pei Fanxian’s interesting news, Li Zhi then spread what he knew in the backwards.

When Li Zhi thought of Pei Fanxian's many actions these days, he was so excited that he talked endlessly.

Pei Xingjian didn't even get any chance to interrupt.

"My dear, I heard that you are very good at judging people and want you to know the character of this young man. I didn't expect that you haven't seen him for several years. It's a pity."

Li Zhi's passionate look made Pei Xingjian feel that he was quite interested in Pei Fanxian. If Pei Fanxian had passed the character, Li Zhi would definitely reuse him in the future.

Helplessly, Pei Xingjian thought about it and the impression that Pei Fanxian was still sick and depressed, and he was not as smart as he was.

"If the saint really pays attention to Pei Fanxian like this, then I will go there in the next few days to specifically inspect the boy."

"To be honest, as an elder, I am very ashamed. Pei Fan was first kicked out of Yongningfang by Dongqian's room, and I haven't seen him in recent years."

"My dear is busy with the court and needs to take care of many things. It is normal not to take care of it." When Li Zhi heard that Pei Xingjian was going to see Fan Xian, he couldn't even close his mouth.

In fact, the matter of entertaining the envoys of Gongyue is secondary. They will only come next year and are not in a hurry to do so.

Li Zhi wanted Pei Xingjian to look at Pei Fan first, which was the real purpose.

When he was young, Pei Xingjian was known for his good at employing people, appointing many new generals, and performed well on the battlefield.

The performance of the young man Pei Fanxian in the palace has far exceeded the category of ordinary promising young men. When they met and talked several times, Li Zhi was simply shocked.

Li Zhi found Pei Xingjian in order to identify himself.

If Pei Xingjian also thought that Pei Fan was a craftable material and could be useful, Li Zhi would immediately reuse him.

Pei Xingjian also realized Li Zhi's true intention and decided to visit him whenever he had time to find out the truth and reality of Li Zhi.

Pei Xingjian got up, stepped out of the hall door, and ran into Cui Ying, a daily man.

In the past two days, the servant Pei Yan, a servant, was busy promoting composting and was not attentive to his job. The errands of recording the words, deeds and daily life of the princes and ministers were carried on one shoulder by the servant Cui Ying.

Cui Ying briefly asked Pei Xingjian for a good question, and then left in a hurry. Pei Xingjian looked at his back and suddenly felt a little strange.

Cui Ying was holding a few volumes of books in her hand, some of which were slightly open. After a glance, Pei Xingjian actually discovered that the handwriting on the book was not Cui Ying's!

But it comes from Pei Yan!

Pei Xingjian returned home, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Although the work nature of the diner and the diner are the same and the things they do are similar, generally speaking, they do not interfere with each other.

Pei Yan would not look through Cui Ying's records. Similarly, Cui Ying should not have Pei Yan's records in her hands.

Pei Xingjian saw it very clearly. The volumes in Cui Ying's hand were written by Pei Yan. Because the two of them were colleagues, Pei Xingjian could be sure that these volumes must be records of daily life notes.

Could it be that there is something wrong with Pei Yan’s record?

Cui Ying is known for her small-mindedness in her daily life. I heard that Pei Yan has been very favored in front of the saints recently, so Cui Ying must be jealous of her.

Pei Xingjian has never looked down on Pei Yan.

He has too many scheming and often operates randomly. Moreover, Pei Xingjian has long seen that Pei Yan also has an inexplicable hatred towards him.

However, I am jealous of my position as a higher than him and my career is smoother than him.

Logically speaking, Pei Xingjian should not care about Pei Yan's destruction.
