Chapter 638 Pei Xian

Tinghe didn't hear anything about it, so she said: "It seems that I just returned to Luoyang. I heard that the girl needs treasures, so I came here to give gifts."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and went to see Pei Xian with Ting He.

Pei Xian is a middle-aged handsome man, he looks... quite good-looking, slightly better-looking than Zhao Ming.

He was not sitting on a high chair in the middle of the hall, but on a seat separated by a screen, with a tall and straight posture, his eyes lowered, and his face serious.

Hearing the footsteps, he only raised his head and took a quick glance. He had never seen Zhao Hanzhang, but seeing the starry eyes and extraordinary momentum of the person coming, he guessed her identity and quickly stood up to salute.

Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand and said with a smile: "General Pei, no courtesy, please take a seat quickly."

She knelt down and asked curiously, "When did the general return to Luoyang?"

She was certain that Pei Xian's family was not among those who forced people to move back. The Pei family was now as famous as the Wang family. If there was, she would not have known about it.

Look at the Wang Huifeng sisters, who dares to neglect them?

Pei Xian said shamefully: "I just returned to Luoyang recently. I heard that the war in Luoyang has subsided and it has gradually settled down, so I came back with my family."

Zhao Hanzhang looked distressed and asked quickly: "I wonder where the general lived before. Has he ever suffered?"

Pei Xian quickly expressed that he did not suffer much. He said: "When we moved with the King of Donghai, we saw that Shi Le was coming in a menacing way, so we temporarily avoided it and went to Yuzhou."

Pei Xian and many officials were serving in the army of King Donghai at that time. King Donghai died of illness. Wang Yan suppressed the news and did not announce it, but he still guessed it.

He felt bad at the time. The Princess of Donghai and the Crown Prince were not in the military. Once something happened, the change of power would inevitably lead to chaos.

As soon as he thought this, Shi Le came.

Without even thinking about it, he ran away with the youngest and the two closest family members.

They were some distance away from Zhao Hanzhang at that time, so they did not encounter Zhao Jiajun. They found a path and hid in a small county town in Yuzhou, hiding in the mountains and fields, thinking of getting through the chaos first before going out.

Then when Pei Xian came out again, the sky outside changed.

The King of East China Sea was dead, and Shi Le was cleansed without the Emperor or Gou Xi taking action. Most of the officials in the imperial court also died in Shi Le's hands;

Wang Mi, who was also a hero of the generation, died in the hands of Zhao Hanzhang. She also defeated Liu Cong and saved the emperor;

Just when he was hesitating, wondering whether he should go back to Luoyang to find the emperor, news came again that the emperor and Gou Xi were moving the capital to Yuncheng, and Luoyang was handed over to Zhao Hanzhang.

Pei Xian felt that Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi today were the King of Donghai and Gou Xi a year ago, so he simply stopped coming out and continued to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

It's just that his two sons are in their prime, and they easily make friends with knights and indulge in drinking. He feels that this is not the way to go, and wants to take them out to study.

Then he will have to choose between Luoyang and Yuncheng.

He is Beizhong Lang General. This official was appointed by the imperial court, so he naturally wanted to go to Yuncheng. Moreover, there was some conflict of interest between him and Zhao Hanzhang. Back then, he was named the governor of Yuzhou, and he immediately wanted to take office. He came, but when he heard that she had taken control of the Yuzhou Army and that the governor of Ruyin County was killed by her own hands, he did not dare to go.

So his first choice was Yuncheng.

People were almost reaching Yanzhou when news came from Yanzhou. Gou Xi indulged in sex and killed Yan Heng, the counselor who had been admonishing him.

Pei Xian knew that Yan Heng was one of Gou Xi's right-hand men and a very upright person. Because Gou Xi was also an upright person, he always felt that they were in harmony.

Pei Xian didn't dare to leave anymore and stayed there for two days. After confirming that Gou Xi had really killed Yan Heng, he quietly took his family back to Luoyang.

Forget it, let's consider Zhao Hanzhang.

Although she also kills people, she only kills enemies and people who are not familiar with her and have conflicts of interest. I have never heard of her killing acquaintances, or for that reason.

After all, Yan Heng had followed Gou Xi for fifteen years, and he had worked hard without any merit. Besides, his merits were so great and he had not made any big mistakes. How could he be killed?

If this is the case for Yan Heng, wouldn't it be possible to kill officials like him who defected?

So even if the emperor was in Yuncheng and it was more justifiable for him to go to Yuncheng, he would still turn back to Luoyang.

His house... was burned down, and his courtyard was occupied by Zhao Hanzhang.

Of course, he could get it back if he appealed to the government office, but Pei Xian thought about it and did not go directly to the county government office. Instead, he spent money to buy another house to live in, and then waited for the opportunity.

He thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come now.

Pei Xian held up the box beside him and offered it to him, saying: "Mr. Zhao, this is the jade Ruyi that Pei brought. It is said to be a treasure, but it is too much, but it can catch the eye."

Tinghe had already seen it and immediately stepped forward to take it, kneeling beside Zhao Hanzhang and offering it to him.

Zhao Hanzhang opened the box curiously.

Inside is a jade Ruyi handle about half a meter long, white and green in color, in the shape of a porous fungus, with a spiritual tree carved on the handle and branches shaped like auspicious clouds.

Zhao Hanzhang touched it gently, his hands were warm and gentle. There was not much expression on his face, but he was speechless in his heart. Is this just something that can catch the eyes?

Ruyi jade flourished in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, perhaps because of the chaos of the era. Emperors and generals during this period liked to use jade, and felt that jade's firmness and smoothness were like that of a gentleman.

Such jade Ruyi is rare, Gou Xi will definitely like it!

Zhao Hanzhang closed the box, looked at Pei Xian, and asked with a smile, "Will General Pei stay in Luoyang this time when he returns to Luoyang?"

"Yes," Pei Xian said: "When the children grow up, they will only drink and have fun in the countryside. If things go on like this, they may forget the gentleman's behavior, so I want them to go back to Luoyang to study."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Children's education is indeed a big problem, but now there are only three gentlemen in the Imperial Academy. Except for my uncle who has some knowledge, the others are probably not as good as the two young masters."

Zhao Hanzhang sincerely invited: "I wonder if the general is willing to give in and become a doctor in Taixue?"

Pei Xian agreed without thinking, saying that he would work hard.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly and got up to see Pei Xian out in person. She asked Pei Xian where he lived now, and then watched him get on the bullock cart and leave.

Watching him leave in an ox cart, Zhao Hanzhang finally felt a little like the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. How could she have forgotten that the celebrities of this era loved horses very much because of the scarcity of horses. Unless they went to the battlefield, they usually used cattle. Traveling by car.

On the other hand, rough people like Zhao Hanzhang prefer to ride horses when going out.

Zhao Hanzhang withdrew his gaze and said to Tinghe: "Go to Wang Huifeng and ask her to choose a suitable house from the houses in our hands to reward Pei Xian."

Tinghe agreed and walked back behind Zhao Hanzhang. She had just learned that Pei Xian was once the girl's competitor. She was a little worried, "The girl only made him a doctor. The status gap is so big that he won't be upset. Resentful?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "He didn't feel resentful just now. Since he didn't feel that I was neglecting him when I proposed it, and he didn't feel that the doctor's status was low, then he won't feel resentful because of this matter in the future."

See you tonight
