Although Pei Sijian had a deal with Du Shiyi, he had just used the righteous gentleman to win over Du Shiyi's posthumous title as Pei Guangting, but in a blink of an eye, Du Shiyi fought back quietly with the same method, and he was immediately choked and speechless.

However, Pei Zhen was not as experienced as Pei Sijian, who lost his father in his early years. Although he had experienced his father being demoted in childhood, he did not have long memory because of his good political achievements and his family's family was a family of aristocratic families, and his father was the youngest son of his grandfather Pei Xingjian. Therefore, Li Longji quickly transferred people back to the court. As early as the early 13th year of Kaiyuan, his father had already been appointed as the Minister of War.

Therefore, compared with Du Shiyi, who had been dependent on his sister for many years and had worked hard in the wind and rain for many years after entering the official career, despite being similar in age, he was not as scheming as Du Shiyi. Hearing this last question, he almost instinctively replied: "Since I am the only son of my father, I should support the family and not fall into the name of Pei!"

"Okay!" Du Shiyi didn't want to disturb Pei Sijian's plan, and nodded immediately, "Since Mr. Pei has such ambition, I might as well tell you that the best way to solve this problem is to personally make a confession for the Prime Minister Pei! Although you are just a military officer in Jingzhao Prefecture and have no official position, you are the only son of the late Prime Minister Pei. Fighting for your father is filial piety. Yan Linzhi was thrown out to calm his anger, and was flown away from the ridge with lightning speed. It was nothing more than to establish his authority and to shock those who might speak justice for the Prime Minister Pei. But you are the Prince Pei, can others do anything to you?"

At this time, even Pei Sijian, who wanted to stop him, was stunned for a moment. Pei Zhen chewed the deep meaning of these words, and gradually moved him.

"In addition, the loyal and wise men of the Pei family came out frequently. From the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, all of your family were famous throughout the Five Dynasties. Your Majesty valued the capital of Pei, and there were also reasons why he was loyal and wise men and could be outstanding. If Mr. Pei came forward and argued for the capital of Pei, there would always be thousands of slandering others. After your Majesty thought about it, he would rather not ask who would know. Even if it was the worst result, Mr. Pei was in the emperor's heart. As long as Mr. Pei could make people see your determination and will, I would try to persuade him."

After Pei Zhen's face changed several times, he finally said firmly: "Okay!"

Seeing Pei Zhen agreeing so quickly, Pei Sijian thought that Du Shiyi had won the Pei family in Daizhou in a few seconds, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being the elaborate Du Zhongshu, which is reasonable and well-founded, and people have to accept it. However, I just want to know, since Du Zhongshu relies heavily on Xiao's prime minister, why would he be willing to come up with such an idea for Daoan?"

"The party struggles are fierce, and they cannot help themselves, but the so-called posthumous title is a matter of being determined after a person dies. How can we only discuss minor mistakes and not mention the hardships?"

Pei Sijian narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. When Du Shiyi left, he personally sent him out. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly asked in a low voice: "Du Zhongshu is helping Daoan in time and has nothing to ask for. Could it be that if Daoan leaks this matter, Xiao Xiangguo will hate you deeply? You must know that Li Yuanhong also valued you at that time, but later he turned against you because you recommended Yuwen Rong. If you go to Yunzhou, it is because he, the prime minister, recommended him."

Du Shiyi turned his head and smiled at Pei Sijian. Seeing that he was not sure about it, he said with a smile, "Although only General Pei and Mr. Pei know about it, maybe the two of you will tell the fourth and fifth persons, or even more people about this. However, if you express this in a pertinent and straightforward manner, others will think that the Pei family's children are really not cautious. As for me, even if Xiao Xiangguo hates it, I think I am open-minded. Even if Xiao Xiangguo really can't tolerate it, I will just leave. That's all."

Seeing that Pei Sijian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, Du Shiyi was ahead again: "Although Pei's friendship was not widely shared in the court, Li Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who had been moving the most under the school, has remained silent. Not only did he never say that he was the posthumous title of Pei's prime minister, but even those promoted by Pei's prime minister were demoted one by one. He, as an old friend of the Ministry of Personnel, still said nothing. Isn't he too heartless as a friend of his past?"

Du Shiyi said that, then bowed his hand, and then left the stunned Pei Sijian and left directly. After Pei Sijian came to his senses, he found that the door was empty. He looked at Pei's house, which was now covered with plain clothes, and suddenly turned around and turned back. When he arrived at the funeral hall, he found that Pei Zhen was not here. After asking, he couldn't help but frown when he learned that Pei Zhen had gone to see his mother Wu.

Pei Guangting married Wu Sansi's daughter because of the intimate relationship between his mother Kudi and the Wu family. At that time, it was the end of Empress Wu's rule, and this marriage at least satisfies the Wu family's heart, but for Pei Guangting, it was really not a good choice, and it delayed him for at least five or six years. Even if Pei Guangting only had a legitimate son of the Wu family, as Pei Zhen, in the face of great events, would Pei Zhen still reveal the Wu family? If this really leaked the news, Du Shiyi might not care at all as he said just now, but what kind of reputation would the Zhongjia Pei family have gained?

Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else and immediately went straight to Wu's bedroom. When he came outside the bedroom, he happened to see Pei Zhen coming out of it. He was shocked and hurriedly came forward and asked, "Daoan, what Du Zhongshu said just now, are you..."

"This matter is serious. Even if it's my mother, I won't let go of any news. I don't have to worry, uncle." Pei Zhen answered lightly. Seeing that Pei Sijian was a little embarrassed, he knew that the Pei family had always disliked his mother and did not continue to defend himself. However, thinking about Du Shiyi's words word by word, his heart, which has gradually become cold these days because of his father's death, has gradually become hot.

The father has the only son. If he doesn’t cheer up, who will support this family?

Du Shiyi went to the Pei family to fool him... No, it should be said that after he inspired Pei Zhen, he went back to report his orders without stopping, and then responded to the orders of the rituals and ordered him to make a letter and step on the point at Shen Shi to return to the private house of Xuanyangfang. When he entered the front door, he changed his clothes and came out of the back door. Chibi had already prepared horses to wait. When the two of them arrived at Gao Lishi's house in Xingning Fang, they saw that there were traffic in the cross street in front of the door, and countless people were waiting for the meeting. In such a mixed place, Du Shiyi, wearing a white shirt, looked inconspicuous at all.

"Chibi, are you sure that Gao Lishi will return to his private residence today?"

"It should be true that Gao Lishi Pingyu rarely leaves the palace for serving the imperial court. It is precisely because he found out that he was going to leave the palace today that there are so many more people than Pingyu. Pingyu's family is the headmaster of Mai Xiong. Although some people are willing to hand in the favor, the senior officials who are truly on the table will naturally not talk to the manager of Mai Xiong. "

Du Shiyi nodded and immediately left the small street in front of the Gao House with Chibi first. The master and servant came to Pingyu Chibi to come here to sit down in the private room on the second floor of a tavern that he often went to. Chibi was sure that he had just arrived at the Gao House again after a certain time. This time, Du Shiyi waited here for half an hour, and Chibi returned.

"Because Cheng Boxian and Feng Shaozheng came, Gao Lishi did not see me, but asked someone to send me a note." Chibi took out the note from his arms and presented it to Du Shiyi with both hands.

"Yingchuan County?" Du Shiyi read out the few words above, and pondered for a moment and suddenly realized. Gao Lishi obviously knew the purpose of sending Chibi to see him, so he sent the news out with the help of such a mystery. The name of Yingchuan County came from the Qin period, and the former place of Yingchuan County established by Qin was from the Warring States Period. This undoubtedly implied that Xiao Song recommended him as prime minister in front of the emperor, not someone else, but Han Xiu, the Left Chief of the Shangshu!

"Let's go." Du Shiyi stood up with a smile, nodded to Chibi, "Go to meet the Left Secretary of the Shangshu Han Xiu."

Before, Xiao Song had expressed his feelings to himself, saying that he planned to recommend Wang Qiu, the counselor, to be prime minister. Whether Wang Qiu was a tribute master in the early Kaiyuan year or later served in the Secretariat, he was always fair and righteous. His only disadvantage was that he was not very eloquent. But just one day after that, Xiao Song said regretfully that Wang Qiu actually declined, saying that he was not capable enough, and then recommended Han Xiu. He was not sure whether Xiao Song accepted Wang Qiu's suggestion and recommended this in front of the imperial court. But since Gao Lishi now hints at the word Han, the situation is very clear.

Han Xiu's mansion is located in Changlefang next to the east city wall of Chang'an. His surname is simple. Although he became a member of the Central Secretariat in the early years of Kaiyuan, he entered the sequence of high-ranking officials, but was not given by officials, but was bought by the money he had accumulated over the years of officialdom, so he was very low-key. He is also a well-known person who is not easy to interact with. Compared with the crowded doors of Gao Lishi's family, it is so deserted that there is no ghost. When Du Shiyi knocked on the door of the Han family with Chibi, the old servant at the door was not the same as the gatekeeper of the Han house in Luoyang, and he also looked him up and down with a vigilant look.

"What's wrong with this man? My family, Zuocheng Han, has always had family rules, and I will not be welcomed by my relatives and friends."

Du Shiyi had experienced this when he was in the Han family in Luoyang. When he heard this familiar remark again, he couldn't help but cough and said, "Please inform me, Du Shiyi, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, asked to see Han Zuocheng."

The old servant at the door saw Du Shiyi wearing white clothes and thought he was a foreign scholar who was studying in Chang'an. But when he heard Du Shiyi signing up, he was immediately shocked. He opened the door in a panic and wanted to invite Du Shiyi in. But when he thought of the family motto of his master, he was in a dilemma halfway. In the end, he left Du Shiyi at the gate and rushed in to report. After all, after this struggle, it was already a quarter of an hour later when Du Shiyi finally entered Han Xiu's study.

"It's really hard to get in Han Zuocheng's door."

Han Xiu saw Du Shiyi, an uninvited guest sitting in front of him, drinking tea comfortably, and couldn't help but feel angry and amused: "I remember that Wei Shisi had already reported to the Censorate and said, "Du Junli, what's the matter with you looking for me today?"

"Han Zuocheng asked what he said. Can't I come to visit senior?" Seeing that Han Xiu was disbelief, Du Shiyi said with a smile, "No, I'm still here to run for the official."
