The mother and son sat opposite each other quietly for a long time.

Emperor Xuanping opened his mouth to break the tranquility: "Mother Queen, there was news from Lingnan. It was said that a native leader had a conflict with Pei Zhang. Pei Zhang broke into the native wooden village alone and beat the native leader up."

Empress Pei was a little surprised and asked with a smile: "What's going on?"

Pei Zhang was a mature young man and never was a passionate person. He had been exiled to Lingnan for more than nine years and had been obedient and had never done anything out of the ordinary.

The only extraordinary thing is probably that he married a native Bai Feng as his wife. He heard that Bai Feng was a rare beauty among natives. He was good at using scimitars and was not inferior to Pei Zhang. After the two got married, they had a daughter and gave birth to another son three years ago, which was several months younger than Sanlang.

The Marquis of Yong'an died for many years, and the wife of Yong'an also died on the way to exile.

Queen Pei had long put aside all the old grievances. She had no intention of restoring the Pei family, but she often took care of Pei Zhang and Pei Jue's two nephews. Every year, rewards were sent to Lingnan.

The reward is not about the thickness, but such actions are enough to show Empress Dowager Pei’s intention to protect them. Over the years, the Pei family has lived a lot better.

Pei Zhang is the patriarch of the Pei clan and has always been calm. How could he have a conflict with the native tribe for no reason?

Emperor Xuanping laughed in a low voice and said, "It's also interesting to say."

"I heard that native tribes have the custom of walking and marriage. Bai Feng is the number one beauty in native tribes, and many natives who love her. One of them has always been infatuated with her."

"Bai Feng married Pei Zhang for a few years and gave birth to a daughter and a son. The couple probably had a quarrel. Bai Feng returned to his village in anger."

"I never thought that the native leader thought Bai Feng didn't want Pei Zhang as her husband. At night, he ran outside Bai Feng's Mu Village to sing love songs and show his diligence, and wanted to spend the night in Bai Feng's Mu Village."

"As a result, as soon as the man broke into Muzhai, he was kicked out by Bai Feng."

"After Pei Zhang knew about this, he went up the mountain the next day and broke into the village of the native leader, and beat the native who coveted Bai Feng. Heard that the native leader's legs were all discounted."

Empress Dowager Pei laughed in silence: "Pei Zhang is very brave. He goes alone, and is not afraid of a group of local people siege."

Emperor Xuanping smiled and said, "This is not in line with the rules of the natives. If they want to compete for a woman's favor, it is common for them to take action. Anyone who loses must admit it. There is no reason to attack them in groups."

Of course, no matter what, Pei Zhang is really bold.

Queen Mother Pei smiled and said, "Pei Zhang is also a twenty-eight-year-old, and he is almost thirty years old. Unexpectedly, he still has the jealousy."

宣平帝不以为然:“这种事,是个男人都无法容忍.揍一顿都算轻的.要是朕说,直接就领着裴家儿郎娶挑了那个部落.也能震慑那一帮土人!”

Empress Dowager Pei figured out something from Emperor Xuanping's tone and looked at Emperor Xuanping meaningfully: "Does the emperor mean to conquer the native tribe?"

Emperor Xuanping did not hide it, and nodded slightly: "I don't hide it from my mother, my son has indeed had this intention."

There are many natives in Lingnan, most of them live in the mountains and forests, gathering together in tribes, and the customs of each tribe are different. However, there is one common feature, which is that it is not convinced by the rule and management of the officials of the Great Chu.

Lingnan returned to the territory ruled by the Great Chu, which was less than half of it. Emperor Xuanping had long planned to subdue the natives.

"The army was born in Wuming, and the court was not inconvenient to take the initiative to raise an army."

Emperor Xuanping whispered: "So, I have written to the brothers Pei Zhang in private, and asked them to find ways to provoke the native tribes. Once the native tribe takes action, they can send local garrisons to quell the rebellion and take the opportunity to lead all the natives down the mountain."

"This matter is not a day or night. I give them five years. If they can do this well, it is a great achievement. I can reward Pei Zhang and Pei Jue for his merits."

Empress Dowager Pei had a gentle look and said softly: "The emperor has been thinking about planning for a long time, and I think he has a complete plan in his heart. If the Ai family doesn't understand these things in the court, he won't talk much."

"The Ai family only hopes that the two brothers will strive for success and live up to the emperor's high hopes."

...

Very few people know about Emperor Xuanping’s secret decree, only Duke of Wei and Jingguo knew about it.

There are garrisons in all counties in Lingnan, among which Jiuzhen County has the largest number of troops.

After receiving the secret order, Pei Zhang and his brothers went to Wu Duwei's mansion.

Twenty-eight-year-old Pei Zhang was wearing a black martial suit, carrying a bow and arrow, riding a horse, and a sharp sword around his waist, with a sharp gaze.

It was like a dusty sword, wiped away the dust and emitted an aggressive light.

Pei Jue, a few years younger than Pei Zhang, is now much calmer. He is wearing a sky-blue martial arts uniform today, carrying a good bow and arrow bag, and a long sword around his waist.

"Pei Zhang has met Lord Duwei."

"Pei Jue has met Lord Duwei."

When the brothers came, they did not meet with family courtesy, and they called him Lord Duwei.

Wu Duwei knew it and nodded slightly: "Get up and talk!"

Pei Zhang and Pei Jue thanked Wu Duwei. After getting up, Pei Zhang took out a letter from his sleeve to Wu Duwei and whispered: "This is the letter the emperor asked me to the Duwei. Please take a closer look."

Wei Duwei was shocked and immediately took the letter with respect and opened it quickly and read it.

Emperor Xuanping did not invent the order because the court wanted to be shameful. It would be better not to make it public if the methods were not very glorious.

As military generals, they all yearn for making achievements.

After receiving the secret order, Wu Duwei felt comfortable, and sent off the Pei brothers, and went back to the house and smiled at Mrs. Wu, "The emperor wants to conquer the natives, and the opportunity for the Pei brothers has also come."

Mrs. Wu was most concerned about her son-in-law and immediately asked with concern: "Is this very dangerous? A Jue can't have any trouble."

Wu Duwei glared at his old wife: "Women's opinion. Wealth and honor are in danger! As a military general, it is natural to lead troops to fight. If you want to fight for wealth and power, you have to carry a head. It is very safe to farm at home. My son-in-law has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Is it just for farming?"

"As a criminal minister, you must wash away the shame of your family and find a way for your children and grandchildren. How can you fight if you don't sacrifice your life!"

Why do you sound so sucked?

Mrs. Wu was frightened and grabbed Wu Duwei's arm: "Or, let Sanniang come back with her children and live there for some time!"

The son-in-law wants to make a future, and the daughter lives in Peijia Village with her two sons, which is really worrying.

Wu Duwei thought for a moment and said, "Everyone who can fight and move in the Pei family has to go out with Pei Zhang and Pei Jue. There are a bunch of old, weak, women and children in the Pei family village. It's not just our daughter and two grandchildren."

"They have to discuss the rules. Don't worry, wait a moment before reading."
