The team has been full of dust. Chen Chao's imperial guards, the Hu Ben Guard General, "Feixian", was riding a tall horse. Zhang Yong, who was newly appointed as the General of Yunqi, rode his horse and his younger brother, Zhang Meng, followed him on the side. Compared with his current wealth and honor, the young Chen Guang, who was destroyed in the south of Chen, was moved to Chang'an for nearly a thousand miles. The family was poor and helpless. He even became a famous scoundrel in the capital early on, and did everything he could to cheat. Just to get some money to solve the problem of food and clothing for the family. Zhang Yong and Zhang Meng had eight brothers, and they were all poor hunters in Shandong. Later, all the eight brothers joined the army, and three died in battle. Now the five brothers are still in the army. The youngest younger brother Zhang Meng also became a fourth-rank general, and the eldest brother Zhang Yong even became a general from a third-rank, with five brothers from a family, from a marquis to a viscount, and all of them were awarded titles. This glory and honor were something they had never thought of in any case.

Chen Guang had also moved from Jiankang, Jiangnan to Chang'an, when he was young, so he was still polite to the Li family and the former ministers of Li Tang in the team who were obviously losers. However, the Zhang brothers, who were hunters, were not so easy to talk to, especially Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong looked at the listless Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and Shi Wanbao, and looked at them slantedly and said, "I said Chai Shao, when they were at Xixing Pass, weren't they all still dead to kill me? How about it? I cut Li Shimin for more than ten times, chopped him up with one hand, and scratched his face. Although he let him run away, what happened in the end? Now, after going around, did you still fall into my hands again?"

Zhang Meng also came over and said, "When Li Shimin was in Liaodong, his brothers treated him well, but he didn't expect to betray us in the end. Do you still remember the Luoshui River? When the Jews led their relatives to the Ding family and chased them all the way. It was here that we almost died at the hands of the Jews. His Majesty was shot into the water by the two brothers of Li Shimin here. Later, Li Shimin broke his arm under my brother's knife. Now Li Shimin has long died. We can eliminate his grudges with one stroke, but are you planning to settle these grudges with us?"

Chai Shao said nothing, Zhang Meng continued, "I heard that the gangsters advised Li Shimin to kill us. Now the gangsters have also fallen into our hands. Now, we have to see who killed whom." Li Xiaogong, who was beside him, spit out and said angrily: "Bah, the villain is successful."

"Haha, God will open his eyes to let the qi know what good and evil are rewarded." Chen Guang couldn't help but interrupt. Although the Chang'an hero Shi Wanbao served in the Li family for many years, he still had a sense of spirit. He sneered a few times and looked at Zhang Meng with a few squints and looked at Zhang Meng several times and said, "What qualifications are there to speak to us like this? Sichang is the commander of the commander of the Shandong Provincial Commander of the Emperor personally, and from a third-rank court. Brother Xiaogong was the emperor's personal title of the Marquis of Hejian County and the Left Administration of Hebei Province. Although he is not talented, he has also been personally titled as the Marquis of Anxi County and the General of the Huben Guard of Zuotun Guard. In terms of position, we are the same level. In terms of title, I am the Marquis of the County, and the Viscount. What is there to be proud of?"

"Ji!" Zhang Meng was extremely angry. Although he fought bravely, he had violated many military rules. His official positions were many times. Therefore, his elder brother was granted the title of a county magistrate. Facing Shi Wanbao's counterattack, he was a clumsy and said in the end: "At that time, the executioner's big knife is placed on his neck, and it seems that he can still be so stubborn."

"Zhang Meng, who are you messing with?" A team of knights from afar came, and Zhang Meng looked at him, but it was His Majesty the Emperor. The emperor was riding on the horse in casual clothes. General Chen Qing, the Yulin Guard, and Chen Lei, the commander of the Imperial Guard, were riding on horseback. Chen Guang and others quickly dismounted and saluted: "Your Majesty, why are you here? I am escorting Concubine Li Shu and all the adults in Hedong back to Beijing."

Chen Kefu nodded and rode forward to look at the old Li Tang ministers and Li family members. Looking at Pei Ji, Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and other groups of civil and military officials who should have been famous for their eternity in history, Chen Kefu couldn't help but feel a little complicated. These people can be said to be the talent elites that Li Yuan and his son had tried their best to win over the past. Each of these people was a real talent.

For example, Pei Ji, Wen Daya, Yin Kaishan, Li Xiaogong and others, these people were basically Guanlong nobles. Looking at Pei Ji, a good brother and adviser of Li Tang, he was wearing a green robe, and was a little white in his washing, and was very haggard.

"Why did you think that Li Yuan rebelled against me?" When Li Yuan came to join him and later secretly murdered him, Pei Ji was Li Yuan's staunch supporter. Later, after Li Yuan escaped, Chen Kefu pretended not to pursue the crimes of Pei Ji and others in order to appease Hedong, but pretended not to know and asked Li Xiuning to take him back to Hedong. When he saw him again, Chen Kefu finally asked directly. Pei Ji said calmly: "In the past, Chen and Tang were united together, and I was under the command of the Tang King, so I had to plan for the Tang King. Killing Je is just for their own masters."

Chen Kefu looked at Pei Ji, Li Xiaogong and others. These people were not Dou Jiande's or Wang Xuanying's. The lords of these people were already dead, but it was of great use to keep them. After a long silence, Chen Kefu suddenly pulled his sword out of the sheath, which attracted a soft cry.

Pei Ji also closed his eyes, but waited for a long time, and the sword never fell. He slowly opened his eyes, but saw Chen Kefu stroked the sword with his left hand, slashing his palm, and dripping blood. Chen Kefu raised his sword to the sky and whispered to everyone: "Today I swear here that no matter what kind of grudges I have had with you in the past, they are all their own masters. Today, I swear to the swear that from today on, everything in the past will be done. The swear are talented people, and I hope that the swear can also abandon the past and serve the court from now on. Together, return peace and happiness to the world and create a prosperous era in Chen."

Both Zhang Yong and Zhang Meng both showed expressions of misunderstanding, and Chen Guang, Chen Qing and others on the side were also full of surprise. Chen Kefu glared at the few people, "I have issued an order. Have you heard it? Why don't you guys apologize to you?"

Pei Ji said in surprise: "What are you doing? I have proposed that the Tang King kill you several times, don't you mind?" Chen Kefu said kindly: "Why did I kill you? You are just doing your own duties! I also need a loyal minister like Ji, who dares to speak. Are you willing to come out to help me? I will be appointed as the Chief Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate." Pei Ji hesitated for a moment, raised his head and said: "Chen Pojun, Ji All this is just acting? I won’t kill me today, I am afraid I just want to wait until the situation in Hedong stabilizes and settle the accounts in the autumn. On that day, the gentry and wealthy families in Shandong, Hebei and Shandong were fooled by this. Do you think I will believe me? Do you better just kill me just? What’s more, do you think that a fourth-rank official at the Censorate of the Censorate can bribe my loyalty to the King of Tang?"

Chen Kefu sighed: "Mr. Pei is indeed worthy of being a great scholar. I am full of loyal ministers to the former lord. I have not read it wrong. But I still have a few words today that I do not speak up. There are a few words to give to me. I know to be loyal to the old lord, but I do not know to be loyal to the world. This is loyal but not great loyal; I know to keep a person's ambition. But I do not know to do some good things for the billions of people who have been poisoned. This is a wise but not a great wise! You have read the books of saints, but still don't understand the truth that being a loyal minister is easy, being a great loyal minister is easy, being a wise minister, and being a wise man is even more difficult. I really regret it for you! I think the Emperor of Sui was injustice, Lord Pei

He was also a minister of Sui, but he resolutely advised the King of Tang to raise an army. Isn’t this a great loyalty? Why is it that today? As the general trend is determined, it is time for Ji to serve the new dynasty and become the great loyal minister of the world. But why is Ji confused? Say those words that are foolish and loyal to the old master but not loyal to the world? I hope Ji can think carefully, and Ji don’t have to worry about me going out of my way. Just keep my word. Today, I said the past, and that’s not to blame the past. As long as Ji is loyal to the new dynasty in the future, I will not only not kill Ji, but will give Ji wealth and a chance to leave a name in history."

At this time, Li Xiuning also rushed forward. When she heard her husband and the old ministers of the Li family talk about these sensitive things, she jumped off the horse and walked to Pei Ji and said, "Mr. Pei, Xiuning is grateful for your support for the Li family. Especially after the death of his father and brother, you have helped each other and stay with me. Only my Li family can be fully protected. Today, the little girl also has a few words to say to Uncle Pei and his uncles and brothers that those who know the current affairs are heroes. If the general trend is now classified as Da Chen, why should you go against the current? What's more, the grudges between father and brother and Your Majesty have been in the past. Why don't you put aside the past and look forward? Xiuning is now the imperial concubine of Da Chen. He said that Your Majesty is also half a member of the Li family. Can't you treat Your Majesty the same as my father and brother?"

Pei Ji's expression finally became a little loose after hearing this. Pei Ji was not really loyal to Li Tang. What's more, Li Tang has been completely destroyed, but Pei Ji still needs his support for him. His words were only cleansed by Chen Kefu's previous aristocratic tribes in Hebei, and he was worried that he had proposed to deal with Chen Kefu many times back then, and that Chen Kefu had settled the accounts in the future. In addition, Chen Kefu himself had a precedent for purge of aristocratic tribes, so Pei Ji felt that instead of waiting for the disaster that would not know when, it would be better to just go a little bit.

"If I really want me to be the Chief Censor, then can I agree to the first argument I proposed?"

"Say it." Chen Kefu nodded and signaled.

Pei Ji hesitated for a moment and said word by word: "The clear order declares the world, and pays a lot of gifts to the four sons of the Tang King and the Tang King, and expressly decrees the world. Your Majesty will not blame us for the past from now on, and will also issue iron certificates to the members of the Li clan and the former subordinates of the Li clan. If you are not a crime of rebellion, you can avoid death."

Everyone present changed their color. No one of Chen Pojun's heroes had ever obtained this iron certificate for death. Now Pei Ji publicly asked each person to tell him one by one. This request was a bit too much.

Chen Kefu stroked the horse's back, lowered his head to ponder for a moment, suddenly turned his face to Chen Qing and said, "I passed on my order to posthumously confer Li Yuan as the King of Tang, Li Jian as the King of Qinghe, Li Shimin as the King of Dunhuang, Li Yuanji as the King of Dingxiang, and Li Xuanba as the King of Mayi! He buried him again according to the etiquette system! He also ordered the whole world that the old subordinates of Li Tang would not blame him, and each of the Li Yuan clans issued an iron certificate to avoid death." Pei Ji, Yin Kaishan, Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and others looked at each other when they heard this.

Shi He burst into tears and knelt down together: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!" Chen Kefu dismounted his horse and helped Pei Ji up, and said with a smile: "It is me who should thank you. You should bury the King of Tang and treat you and other talents well, so that you can calm the hearts of the people of the world and fulfill my kindness and righteousness! This advice from Ji is worth 100,000 elite soldiers! Chen Qing, Ji immediately passed an edict, and named Pei Ji as the Chief Censor, Yin Kaishan as the General of Zuo Tun Guard, Li Xiaogong as the Minister of War! Chai Shao as the General of the Cavalry Guard..."

Listening to the long list of rewards, Chen Qing reluctantly replied "Yes".
