    In Peijia Village, Wenxi County, Pei Ju was on his deathbed. He was in good health. However, since he was captured by the Turks and sent to the northern grasslands a few years ago, it was winter. His body was attacked by the severe cold and suffered great damage.  He was gradually dying, especially after this spring, when he became ill. After two months of struggle, his life finally came to an end.

    At this time, the children of the Pei family rushed back to Wenxi's old house from all over the world. Only Pei Renji and his son could not come because they were going to participate in the war, and Princess Pei Minqiu of Chu was stationed in Taiyuan. The other children of the Pei family came to see the family leader on his last journey.

    At noon that day, a group of 500 cavalrymen rushed in from a distance like a gust of wind. They rushed to the entrance of Peijia Village before stopping. The leader was the general Yang Yuanqing. He dismounted and ordered his guards to rest and wait outside the village.  He took a dozen soldiers and headed towards the village.

    Peijia Village is a large village with about 300 households. Every household has the surname Pei. Basically, it is the Pei clan. It is divided into more than a dozen branches. Two of them are the most famous, one is Pei Ju's first family and the other is Pei Ju.  It is the Pei Yun family, and there are a few more famous ones, such as the family of Pei Renji and his son, and the family of Pei Shiqing.

    The most famous buildings in the entire Peijia Village are the ancestral hall and the family school. The ancestral hall is a place to commemorate the ancestors, and the family school is a place to cultivate the talents of future generations. All children of the Pei family, regardless of male or female, must study at home since they are five years old. Women should study at home.  By the age of twelve, men have to study until the age of eighteen. It is strict education that has cultivated generations of outstanding children.

    Yang Yuanqing led his horse directly to Pei Ju's house without alarming anyone in the village. At the door, he met Pei You walking out of the house. Her eyes were red and she had obviously just cried. When she looked up, she saw Yang Yuanqing, which startled her.  Jump, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

    "Am I late?" Yang Yuanqing asked worriedly, even though he didn't see Bao Su or Soul Summoning Banner along the way.  But he was still a little worried.

    Pei You sighed, "The doctor said I won't survive tonight."

    Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. At this time, Pei Wenyi walked out. Pei Wenyi was Pei Minqiu's father and Yang Yuanqing's father-in-law. He saw Yang Yuanqing at a glance.  He was shocked, "Yuan Qing, when did you arrive?"

    Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and saluted his father-in-law, "I just arrived. I heard that my grandfather was critically ill, so I came to visit him."

    Pei Wenyi felt sad.  He originally thought that his daughter would come back, but now only Yang Yuanqing comes, and the daughter cannot come. Helpless, he could only force a smile and said, "Come in and sit in the house."

    Pei Wenyi and Pei You led Yang Yuanqing into the guest room of the inner house and asked him to sit down and rest. Pei Wenyi went into the sick room to tell his father that Yuan Qing had arrived.  Pei You offered a cup of tea.

    "Is your second grandfather back?"

    The second grandfather Yang Yuanqing mentioned was Pei Yun. In February, Pei Yun was ordered to go to Lingnan to recruit surrender and pacify the counties. I wonder if he came back in time. Pei You shook his head and said, "I heard that the second grandfather went to Lingnan. The journey is long and it is difficult to come back.  "

    Yang Yuanqing was silent. He estimated that Pei Yun would not be able to come back. At this time.  Pei Jin hurried into the room.  Bowed and saluted, "See Your Highness!"

    Yang Yuanqing shook his head.  "This is a family matter now. There is no relationship between Your Highness and your ministers. Min Qiu is responsible for stabilizing Taiyuan and cannot come. I am here to visit my grandfather on behalf of her and my children. Please follow the authority!"

    "yes!"

    Pei Jin didn¡¯t know how to call this noble brother-in-law. He hesitated for a moment and decided to call him the original name, ¡°Grandpa, please come over and speak.¡±

    "Let's go!"

    Yang Yuanqing did not embarrass him, stood up and followed him to the ward.

    The light in the ward was soft and filled with a strong smell of medicine. There were more than a dozen important people of the Pei family sitting next to the bed. When they saw Pei Jin coming in with Yang Yuanqing, everyone stood up. Yang Yuanqing waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to be polite. He walked over  In front of the couch, he saw Pei Ju lying on the couch, with a sallow complexion and skinny bones. Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel sad.

    He sat in front of the couch and held Pei Ju's hand. Pei Ju was still a little conscious. He slowly turned his head and saw Yang Yuanqing. A strange bright color suddenly flashed in his eyes. He has been holding on until now, largely because of this.  He is worried about the future and fate of the Pei family, and Yang Yuanqing is just the key to unlocking the future and fate of the Pei family.

    "Youget out!"

    Pei Ju struggled to say two words, and the children of the Pei family all retreated. Only Yang Yuanqing and Pei Ju were left in the room. Pei Ju grabbed Yang Yuanqing's hand and said with difficulty: "Your Highness I can no longer serve.  "

    Yang Yuanqing felt a little sad in his heart. He patted his hand and didn't know what to say. A smile appeared on Pei Ju's face and he sighed slightly, "Four years of Renshou it's so fast!"

    Yang Yuanqing knew that he was referring to the situation when he saw him at the beginning of that year. More than ten years passed in a flash., Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, "My grandfather's kindness to me back then has always been engraved in my heart."

    At this time, an old tear suddenly welled up in Pei Ju's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "I have committed a capital crime, please Your Highness forgive the Pei family. I will bear everything. I am willing to go to Abi Hell."

    Yang Yuanqing was shocked. It was a very serious matter to say to a dying person, "I wish to go to Avici Hell". He would never say such a thing unless he was extremely frightened. He saw Pei Ju's eyes flowing out again.  Tears, he quickly wiped them away.

    Pei Ju grabbed Yang Yuanqing's hand and looked at him with pleading eyes, "Your Highness forgive the Pei family."

    Yang Yuanqing's heart palpitated. He suddenly thought of the Pei family's kindness to him over the past ten years, especially the various protections they had shown in the power struggle of the previous dynasty. He also felt a sense of gratitude to Pei Ju in his heart. When a person is about to die, others  To be honest, he couldn't let Pei Ju leave with endless regrets.

    Yang Yuanqing nodded, "No matter what my grandfather did, it has nothing to do with the Pei family. This is my promise to my grandfather to repay my kindness."

    Tears welled up in Pei Ju's eyes again. He looked at the roof with tears streaming down his face. He tremblingly said: "I killed so many people. It was my sin. I am willing to go to hell to atone for my sins."  "

    His words made Yang Yuanqing's heart pound!  ' With a movement, he vaguely understood, but after all, Yang Yuanqing was the ruler of the world. Although he understood in his heart, he had already made a promise.

    "I said, no matter what my grandfather did, it has nothing to do with the Pei family. I will treat the Pei family fairly in the future. If their political performance is outstanding, they will be able to become ministers and prime ministers. If their political performance is mediocre, even if they are related to the princess,  It¡¯s also unusable.¡±

    Pei Ju breathed a sigh of relief. The last knot in his heart was untied, and he felt that he could leave.  .  .  .  .

    Yang Yuanqing slowly walked out of the room, sighed, and said to the dozen or so children of the Pei family waiting outside: "Go in!"

    More than a dozen children walked into the room one after another. When the master of the family was dying, they could not leave their side. Only Pei Wenyi accompanied his son-in-law outside. Yang Yuanqing sat for a moment, stood up and said: "Then I'm leaving. I have to rush to Yan'an County."

    Pei Wenyi did not hold back and sighed, "Please tell Min Qiu, don't forget to pay homage to your grandfather."

    Yang Yuanqing nodded, turned around and left Pei Mansion and Pei Village.

    In the ward, Pei Chen, a younger brother of the Pei Ju clan, wrote down Pei Ju¡¯s last words: ¡®The next head of the family will be succeeded by Pei Shiqing, and the next head of the family will be succeeded by Pei Qingsong.  ¡¯

    That night, Pei Ju died of illness in Peijia Village, completing his extraordinary life

    At the same time as Pei Ju's death, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was also seriously ill due to the heavy blow of the loss of Hanzhong, and he fell into a deep coma. The Tang Dynasty and the public were in an extremely uneasy panic.  No more thoughts on official business.

    Many people began to take long vacations and no longer went to court. Even when they went to court, they would gather together in twos and threes to discuss the progress of the situation and their own futures.

    The fall of Hanzhong caused the city of Chang'an to become turbulent, and the price of rice rose again, with a bucket of rice reaching 600 yuan. Although the price of rice was high, there were still long queues to buy rice in front of more than a dozen rice shops in Liren City, Chang'an.  Everyone understands that a war is about to break out. At this time, having food in stock is more important than anything else.

    However, more people from Chang'an continued to flee Chang'an and took refuge in the homes of their relatives in the countryside. Some people who originally came to Chang'an from Luoyang to escape the war began to return to Luoyang again. A steady stream of people could be seen everywhere on the official road east of Chang'an.  Absolute migration flow.

    At noon that day, the Bashu Wine Shop on the left side of the main gate of Liren City was still open for business as before, but there were very few drinkers. There were only a few dozen regular customers sitting sparsely in the four-story wine shop, and they also gathered individually.  Chat together and discuss the situation.

    There are a total of twenty-two wine shops on both sides of Liren City, and almost all of them are closed. Only three wine shops are still open for business. Not only the wine shops, but also the shops in Liren City. Except for the shops related to food ingredients, the rest are very popular.  The shops were deserted and empty, and many shops were simply closed.

    At this time, a man hurriedly walked into the Bashu Wine Shop, but unlike a drinker, he walked directly to the counter and winked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper understood and took him to the backyard. The two of them entered a bungalow.  The shopkeeper asked: "Any new information?"

    The man took out a booklet from his arms and said with a proud smile: "I got this from Liu Jing, the Prime Minister of Taifu Temple. It is the existing grain and grass inventory of the entire Tang Dynasty. It is very useful."

    This Bashu wine shop is naturally an intelligence point for the Sui Army in Chang'an. Currently, the Sui Army has a total of three intelligence points in Chang'an. They are independent of each other and have no contact with each other. Even if one intelligence point is destroyed, it will not be destroyed.Affects the normal operation of the other two intelligence points.

    They continuously sent various information about Chang'an and even the Tang Dynasty to Taiyuan. The shopkeeper's surname was Cai, a lieutenant of the Internal Guard Army, who was in charge of this Bashu wine shop. He was surprised and happy. This information was so important that he picked it up.  After flipping through the booklet, he couldn't hold back his joy and asked: "How did you get it?"

    The man smiled and said: "Nowadays, all the officials in the Tang Dynasty are in danger and looking for a way out. This Liu Jing is no exception. I met his nephew and used his nephew to make connections, so he willingly handed over this list. He  Not a penny.¡±

    The shopkeeper nodded knowingly. It was already this time. None of these officials were willing to ask for money. They were just looking for a way out, and Liu Jing was no exception
