I have to say that Pei Lin is actually the one who knows Li Yuan best, and it is precisely because he is the one who knows Li Yuan the most that he can persuade Li Yuan to dispel his long-pondering idea with just one sentence. However, unlike the neutral position of Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi and others, Pei Lian, who was the left servant and exercised the function of the left prime minister at this time, had already been biased towards the side of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, so although on the surface, what Pei Lin said was all considered by Li Yuan, but in fact, he was already secretly helping the prince Li Jiancheng.

Speaking of which, as an old friend of Li Yuan, he had a grudge with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but it also involved the execution of Liu Wenjing on the eve of the Battle of Hedong in the Tang Dynasty.

If it's just like this, it's okay, with Pei Lian's character who has always liked and mud, he can't be guilty of making enemies with Liu Wenjing for this reason, the problem is that when the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Xue Ju father and son fought fiercely, Liu Wenjing underestimated the enemy and advanced so that he was defeated and lost, so he was convicted and almost directly demoted to a civilian, and even if he made contributions to the pacification of the world for the Tang Dynasty many times in the future, it was just a meritorious service and a reluctant return to his original position, in contrast, Pei Lin was prosperous all the way, with the help of his old friend Li Yuan, Not only was he named the left servant in a short period of time, which is equivalent to the position of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he also worked very leisurely and comfortably, and did not have to be born and died for the cause of pacifying the world of the Tang Dynasty as often as Liu Wenjing.

Liu Wenjing has always been arrogant, and seeing Pei Lian, whom he looked down on in the past, because he relied on Li Yuan's care, he did not have to go to the front line to be born and die, nor did he have to work hard every day in the rear for internal affairs. The official position is much higher than his own, how can Liu Wenjing's heart not be angry, and his own personality is extremely irritable and paranoid, so in this way, he hated Pei Lin and hated Pei Lian. Liu Wenjing never hides his intentions, although in the face of Pei Lian, whose position is much higher than herself, she often embarrass Pei Lian, so that Pei Lian can't get off the stage, and in the face of Liu Wenjing's intentional difficulties, Pei Lin will initially have the intention to let go, however, when Liu Wenjing has no appreciation, and he is even more inch-inch. Pei Lin was finally angry, and they all said that the Buddha also has three points of fire, not to mention that although Pei Lin likes and mud, he is not a Buddha.

And Liu Wenjing's hatred for Pei Lin has even gone a little crazy, he often wakes up in a dream surrounded by hatred, and then carries a knife to desperately chop the pillars of the beams, while scolding Pei Lin loudly. In the end, he listened to some witchcraft and witchcraft, and pierced a straw man and cursed Pei Lonely every day to die a good death! And then because of a few things. A subordinate of Liu Wenjing's family eventually betrayed his master and told his enemy Pei Lin what Liu Wenjing had done.

So, Pei Lian, who had already been extremely hostile to Liu Wenjing, finally made up his mind to remove Liu Wenjing when he was in the imperial court's parliament. He openly played Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and Liu Wenjing practiced witchcraft at home, wanting to plot against him, and almost all the courtiers were taken aback. And then each of them showed a look of fear.

In the old days, due to the backwardness and lack of social productive forces, people's fear of ghosts and gods was extremely religious, and therefore, even the most disbelieving Confucianism, for ghosts and gods, has always been respectful and far away, and the art of witchcraft is recognized as a harmful evil art, has always been intolerable by the world, the disaster of witchcraft during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past, is because someone falsely accused the prince of rebellion to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the result was hugely implicated, not only the capital of the entire Han Dynasty became a battlefield, and there were many dead and injured soldiers and civilians, and the heirs of Emperor Wu were also killed. Therefore, it directly shook the foundation of the strong Han, and in addition to the Han Dynasty, whether it was the pre-Qin era, or the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the appearance of witchcraft was also common, however, no matter when, almost as long as the witchcraft appeared in the place, it would definitely cause huge social turmoil and cause a very bad impact.

Therefore, when Pei Lin exposed Liu Wenjing's use of witchcraft at home to plot against him, almost all the ministers at that time were silent, fearing that it would trigger a bloody purge in the court.

But later, the matter was quickly clarified, after Liu Wenjing was arrested, what he did was quickly investigated, Liu Wenjing did use witchcraft to harm people, but it was Pei Lin who turned against him, and it was not to plot wrong.

And it is precisely because of this that when faced with the inquiries of Li Yuan and the ministers of the DPRK and China, Liu Wenjing was extremely calm, in his mind, even if he was at fault first, it was not a big deal, it was a big deal to be demoted to the people again, anyway, he had already experienced it once before.

Liu Wenjing thought so, but in the end, Li Yuan's conviction of him resulted in his sentencing to death.

In the last time of Liu Wenjing's life, in addition to scolding Pei Lin for his shamelessness, he also issued the sentence that many virtuous ministers and famous generals would issue throughout the ages: "The birds are all the birds, and the good bow is hidden ......" However, he never thought that the magic of witchcraft has always been regarded as a great enemy by the ruling class, therefore, as an important minister of the imperial court, Liu Wenjing, no matter what the witchcraft he did, as long as he did so, then Li Yuan killed him, it was not wronged him, just imagine that in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, Li Yan and Zhuge Liang are both ministers of Shu Han Tuogu, however, if Li Yan dares to use witchcraft to curse Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to die early, then Zhuge Liang, who is a generation of virtuous ministers, will he spare Li Yan's life?

As a result, Liu Wenjing died, and in the history books of later generations, there was a general tendency to sympathize with his death, on the one hand, because Liu Wenjing was one of the primary planners of the Jinyang army, and he contributed greatly in the initial stage of the army, so later generations believed that Liu Wenjing could make meritorious contributions to the crime and not be given death, and at that time, including Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi and other important ministers did persuade Li Yuan in this way, but Li Yuan finally chose to give Liu Wenjing to death, from this point of view, Li Yuan was indeed favoring his old friend Pei Lian, however, as an emperor, Li Yuan's approach was certainly not just to favor his old friend, but had a more far-reaching intention.

If the talented Liu Wenjing is a very important part of the Tang Dynasty's delicate machine, then there is no doubt that such a relatively harmless and delicate person as Pei Lin is lubricating oil, and important machine parts are essential, however, when the machine is started, the lubricating effect of lubricating oil is also extremely important, but Liu Wenjing's personality is so narrow that even Pei Lian, who has always been exquisite, can not tolerate it, then, who else can work with him? And what's even more terrifying is that he still uses witchcraft in vain, such a boldness, today he dares to curse Pei Lin who makes him unhappy, so what about tomorrow! Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, it is better to let Liu Wenjing die a hundred times.

Poor Liu Wenjing is conceited and smart, but she can't understand this until she dies, and she is really smart and confused for a while.

In all fairness, although Liu Wenjing was given death with Li Yuan's selfishness, but after all, it was because of his own death, and he couldn't blame others, but although Liu Wenjing died, what he did made Li Shimin, the king of Qin, stand on the opposite side of Pei Lian, and in fact, Liu Wenjing will get many people's sympathy in later generations, and the relationship between him and Li Shimin is also very related.

You must know that although Liu Wenjing was lonely and narrow-minded during his lifetime, he was very contemptuous of Pei Lian, who had mediocre ability, but he greatly admired Li Shimin, who showed incomparable heroism when he was a teenager, and therefore, his attitude towards Li Shimin was different from others, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he was Li Shimin's mentor and friend, and because he had received great help from Liu Wenjing, Li Shimin naturally couldn't watch Liu Wenjing being killed like this and did nothing, he used all means to intercede with Li Yuan, However, in the end, Li Yuan's decision could not be changed, Liu Wenjing was finally killed, and Li Shimin, because of Liu Wenjing's murder, because he couldn't blame his father, took the same resentment out of Pei Lian.

In addition, it was only not long before Pei Lin suffered a series of defeats in the war in Hedong, and was defeated by Liu Wuzhou's soldiers and horses, and almost lost the entire Hedong region, so Li Shimin, the king of Qin, looked down on his father's old friend even more. And Pei Lin will naturally not turn a blind eye to King Qin's contempt, although Pei Lin is a mason, and muddy, but he is not a good man like dough, and in a certain aspect, he and his "good friend" Liu Wenjing are exactly the same character, and they are all flaws that must be reported! Therefore, since Li Shimin is full of contempt for him, Pei Lin will naturally take the initiative to stand on the opposite side of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and as time goes by, Pei Lin at this time has completely sided with the side of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

It is precisely because Pei Lin has completely stood on the opposite side of Li Shimin at this time, and he is Li Yuan's most trusted old friend, and because of this, Pei Lin will be the greatest threat to Li Shimin, and even the crown prince Li Jiancheng is not as good as him, and in Pei Lian's words, there is a strong meaning like this: With the gradual pacification of the whole world, the opportunity for the country to need the King of Qin to personally lead the troops has almost disappeared, but at this time, the King of Qin has become the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, The crown prince Li Jiancheng and even the entire Tang Dynasty are the biggest threat, then, the fastest and most secure way to protect everyone and this land is only one way, that is, to kill the King of Qin, with the delusion of people with different intentions in the world - maybe the King of Qin is indeed innocent, but for the stability of the country, it has to be like this, who will let it, this is his life!
