The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

When Lawyer Pei received the imperial edict, he was completely panicked.

Although Jingzhou Changshi is an official position, it is much better than a hollow title of a son-in-law.

But, but.......

That's Jingzhou.

What kind of place is Jingzhou? It's a place of exile. Not only is the terrain there complex, but the people are even more complex. Since the Sui Dynasty, the rebellions of the mountain Qiang have never stopped.

Even the road to Jingzhou is rugged and difficult to travel.

This time, he was "exiled" from Chang'an City to Jingzhou.

Or he was to serve as a small Changshi, which can only be regarded as an assistant to the local officials, and he has no power...

Thinking of what he did a few days ago, Lawyer Pei shuddered.

Pei Ji came back from the palace. He also came back in a hurry after receiving the news.

When he walked into the main hall of his house, he saw his absent-minded son.

When Lawyer Pei saw his father coming back, he suddenly felt like he had found his backbone.

"Father, His Majesty's decree asked me to go to Jingzhou..." Lawyer Pei looked a little panicked: "What should I do? Suddenly, such a decree came. It was apparently to assign an official position to my son, but that was Jingzhou. In fact, it was no different from being exiled to the place..."

"Father, has His Majesty found out anything about the locust plague rumors?"

Lawyer Pei was still a little panicked.

He was afraid that if it was really found out that he was the one behind the rumors, he would be dead.

"Nonsense, what about the locust plague." Pei Ji glared at Lawyer Pei fiercely.

Then he looked outside the door.

"Come with me." Pei Ji winked at Lawyer Pei, and then he took the lead to walk towards the side hall.

After dismissing all the servants, Pei Ji sat on the couch, picked up the fan, and shook it slightly.

"How many times have I told you to keep calm?" Pei Ji said unhappily, "Look at what you did just now, you said something you didn't want to say."

"Son knows he was wrong." Lawyer Pei quickly admitted his mistake.

"Remember, don't say important things in public, even at home, you should be careful." Pei Ji said, "If what you said just now is spread out, it won't be as simple as going to Jingzhou, do you know?"

"Yes." Lawyer Pei felt a little guilty.

He was indeed anxious and panicked.

"You are going to Jingzhou now, this is His Majesty's intention." Pei Ji said: "Even I didn't hear any rumors in advance. Even if you went to Jingzhou because of the rumors inside and outside Chang'an City, you don't have to panic. His Majesty can't find evidence.

Think about it, if there is evidence, can you still go to Jingzhou? At this time, you have been in the prison of Dali Temple."

"His Majesty came here just because he couldn't find evidence. If you panic, it will be exactly what he wants." Pei Ji said.

"Even so, His Majesty has already suspected the child." Lawyer Pei said.

"I also told you to be more careful and not to leave any handles, but it's too late to say these now." Pei Ji said: "Now His Majesty's control and understanding of Chang'an City is far beyond our expectations."

"Then, is the matter of the child going to Jingzhou like this?" Lawyer Pei asked.

Compared with the peaceful days in Chang'an, going to Jingzhou is simply going to suffer.

"It's not that there is no way." Pei Ji said: "Princess Linhai is your Majesty's sister and your wife after all. You should talk to her about this matter. If you go to Jingzhou to take office, the whole family will have to go there."

Lawyer Pei carefully thought about his father's words.

"Father means to let Princess Linhai go to the palace to find out what the palace means?"

"Although this matter was decided by your Majesty, we are a family after all, so it's easy to talk. If Princess Linhai enters the palace, she can ask the Queen." Pei Ji said: "Before you take office, the opportunity to change this matter may be in the palace. You should always try it."

Lawyer Pei nodded seriously.

In the evening, after Lawyer Pei returned to his yard, he found his wife and told her the decree of the palace today, asking him to go to Jingzhou to take office.

"I don't know how long I'll be there, you'll have to go with me." Lawyer Pei said, "Jingzhou isn't a good place to be in. I'm a grown man, so I don't mind suffering a little. But it's hard for you. When my father comes back today, I'll talk to him and ask him to let you stay in Chang'an. If you're in Jingzhou, I'll take a few loyal servants with me.It's OK."

Princess Linhai was touched when she heard this.

"You and I are husband and wife, how can I let you go to Jingzhou alone? If you go to take up the post, I will naturally go with you, but we are doing well in Chang'an City, why would His Majesty suddenly let you go to Jingzhou?" Princess Linhai was puzzled.

I am His Majesty's sister, and my husband is the son-in-law of the emperor. No matter what, it is impossible for him to go to Jingzhou, a place of exile.

How can family members be so ruthless?

Isn't it good to stay in Chang'an City, even if it is a small official?

Why was he sent out, and went to Jingzhou, and was still given a small official.

"Husband, did you do something that made His Majesty unhappy? "Princess Linhai asked.

She felt that it was impossible for her second brother to let her son-in-law go to Jingzhou to be a minor official.

This was telling everyone that he was exiled.

Lawyer Pei smiled.

"I am a son-in-law, and I am idle in Chang'an City. What can I do to make His Majesty unhappy?" Lawyer Pei said, "It's just the court affairs, not what I did that would make His Majesty unhappy. You know, my father is a close minister of the emperor, and he is an old minister who came from the Wude years."

Lawyer Pei's words directly led to the identity of her father, an old minister of Wude, making Princess Linhai think that this matter was because her father was an old minister of Wude, and His Majesty didn't like them.

Sure enough, when Princess Linhai heard this, her face was a little angry.

"How could my second brother be like this? "Princess Linhai said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask what happened. Even if your father is an old minister in the Wude years, he is still a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty."

"Linhai, don't go to His Majesty about the court affairs. Since the matter has been settled, there is no point in saying more. You should stay in Chang'an City. Life here is better than Jingzhou." Lawyer Pei held Princess Linhai's hand and said seriously.
