Pei Lin was indeed a little panicked.

After planning for so long, what I never expected was that Li Erlang actually came back alive.

At this point, everything is empty, as if nothing has become meaningless.

The people who were still arguing with each other before are already trembling at this moment.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin in disbelief, this is a god-like existence, more than 10,000 Turks, if they just escaped with nine deaths, it would be okay. But listening to His Majesty's tone, the Turks are finished.

Li Shimin looked forward to Zixiong, walked up to the hall step by step, in the stunned eyes of everyone, he looked like a matter of course, he didn't pay attention to Pei Lian, and even the rest of the people didn't take a second look, but after going to the Jinluan Palace, Li Chengqian had realized something, and he was busy getting up from the small seat and saluting Li Shimin: "The son has seen his father, and the father can return safely, and the son is overjoyed." ”

Li Shimin only bowed his head to him, so Li Chengqian didn't dare to sit down anymore, but bowed down and stood aside, even at his age, in fact, he was still in a rebellious time, and now when he saw his father, it was like seeing a ghost.

There was only misery and indescribable embarrassment on Li Yuan's face.

He sat down on the small seat, in fact, his heart had already turned countless thoughts at this time.

He wanted to explain.

Or...... simply put down the old face to make a smile.

But in fact, when he saw Li Shimin, his whole body was already stiff, even if his mouth moved slightly, he couldn't say a word.

Li Shimin arrived in front of Li Yuan, but he stood still and stared at Li Yuan deeply.

Li Yuan looked at this smiling face, but he seemed to feel infinite killing intent, and he couldn't help but shudder.

The more people of his age, the more afraid of death, so the fear spread and spread all over his body, invading his limbs, he found that his body was even more immobile, his shriveled lips squirmed, and he wanted to say something, but under Li Shimin's terrifying gaze, he found that in the face of his son, he didn't even have the courage to look up and look directly at him.

Li Shimin spoke: "Father is fine." ”

These five short words have a calming atmosphere, but Li Yuan's heart is turbulent, and after a long time, he said in waiting: "Erlang...... Jiro is back, I ...... I ......"

He trembled to his feet.

In the past, when he wanted to stand up, the eunuch beside him would always come forward and help him, but the eunuch was actually lying on the ground and trembling.

So when Li Yuan stood up, he almost stumbled.

Fortunately, one arm caught him, but it was Li Shimin who supported him, and Li Yuan reflexively snorted.

Li Shimin smiled at him and said: "I am in the grassland, I have encountered a little danger, but it has made my father worried, and now my ancestors finally have a spirit in the sky, so that I can return safely, my father is so old, but he is still here to share my worries, it is really a crime of my death." ”

After that, he had to salute Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was so frightened that his face was miserable, and he was busy stopping Li Shimin at this time: "Erlang's return to the government, this is a good thing for the whole world to celebrate, I am dizzy, I am like sitting on pins and needles here, looking forward to the emperor's return day and night, and now, since Erlang is back, then I will go back to Da'an Palace, and I don't want to go back to Da'an Palace for a long time." ”

As he spoke, no one paid attention to it, and he got down to the Jinluan Hall tremblingly, accompanied by the eunuchs, and walked away, refusing to stop for a moment.

Li Shimin smiled and looked at Li Yuan's back, but obviously, he didn't take Li Yuan too seriously, and then sat down, looking left and right, seeing that the ministers were either new, or barely squeezed out a smile with a dead face, Li Shimin glanced sideways at Li Chengqian, who was crying with joy on the side, in fact, he didn't have to ask in detail, he already had a little understanding of the situation in Chang'an City.

For him, these people in the palace, whether they are extremely smart or have the family background of the fourth world and the third duke, in fact, to a certain extent, they are all non-threatening people, because as long as they are alive, they are in their control.

Li Shimin glanced at them, and said lightly: "I heard that before, the Emperor Taishang issued an edict, but is there any?" ”

Edict ......

Pei Lian, who was sitting in the hall, heard that he was struck by lightning, but in fact, he realized that this edict drawn up by himself was the evidence of his crime.

Fang Xuanling settled down, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is true. ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth outlined a faint arc, and then he sighed with emotion: "I haven't died yet, have I already died?" The emperor is old and will definitely not have this thought, so who is it...... What about encouraging him to give an edict? ”

The hall was silent.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth swayed with a smile, but his face was so cold that it could freeze people's hearts, and his voice was as cold as the wind.

"It seems that all the Qings are willing to answer, what, Pei Qing's family, don't you answer either? Pei Qing's family is an old minister of the two dynasties, and the prime minister is in the prime minister's position, do you want to be dumb today? “

Pei Lin was terrified to the extreme, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he stammered: "Minister...... Minister...... Ten thousand deaths, this edict was drawn up by the ministers. ”

"Abolish the New Deal and the Imperial Examination, these are your ideas, right?" Li Shimin looked at him with a smile, in front of Li Shimin, this was just a trick of a cat and a mouse.

Pei Lian's face was like ashes, and he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded obediently.

Li Shimin suddenly became angry, glared at him coldly, and burst out from between his teeth word by word.

"You are a courtier, you dare to make such a claim, I am not dead yet, if I am really dead, this son of heaven, wouldn't you Pei Lin come to sit?"

The people in the hall, Mo said, were not ashamed to speak before, even Fang Xuanling and the others were taken aback.

Pei Lin was even more like being cut by a thousand knives, when he said this, he was already extremely punished, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths." ”

Li Shimin stood up, just now he was as quiet as a virgin, and he seemed very calm, but now, he was moving like a rabbit, pacing back and forth in the Jinluan Palace, looking extremely excited, his face was hideous, and his face was full of murder: "It was also your idea to transfer the military horses to the gates of the imperial city, that King Zhao, as well as the county kings Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, they brought soldiers and horses, and you were also planning behind your back, right?" ”

Pei Lin gritted his teeth and almost passed out.

In fact, he knew very well that what he had done was enough for him to die without a place to be buried, but he was afraid that even his own family would no longer be able to preserve.

He trembled, and at this time his heart was full of remorse, and tears fell down his eyes, but he said, "This ...... This ......"

"Your Majesty, all this is Pei Xianggong's calculation." At this point, someone broke the peace.

Everyone looked at it, but it was Xiao Yu, this Xiao Yu was Pei Lian's comrade, they were all prime ministers in the Li Yuan period, and they were extremely popular ministers, and this time they followed Pei Lin and made a lot of efforts.

Now facing Li Shimin's questioning, Pei Lin still wants to survive in death and defend himself. But Xiao Yu is different, Xiao Yu knows very well that if Pei Lin is more culpable, his own culpability will be less.

At this time, what else is there to be polite?

In fact, Xiao Yu is not greedy for life and afraid of death, this crime is too big, this is a big crime of rebellion, but if he just dies a Xiao Yu, he Xiao Yu will be killed, but this is a big crime that will bring disaster to the family, Xiao Yu is the clan of the Liang State of the Southern Dynasty, and he is prosperous in the Jiangnan family, not for himself, even for his descendants and clansmen, he has to be like this.

Pei Xiao looked at Xiao Yu incredulously, Xiao Yu was actually a gentleman in his opinion, but where did he think of it......

Pei Lin just kowtowed, and when it came to this, what else could he say.

Li Shimin was even more angry: "Then, going to Da'an Palace and inviting the Emperor Taishang here is also the idea of Pei Qing's family, right?" ”

Pei Lian's face was already drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to come out, he already knew that he was dead and had no place to be buried.

Pei Lin didn't answer, and Li Shimin said angrily: "What, don't you dare to answer?" ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yu couldn't help but say, "This ...... This was also Pei Gong's idea...... Minister...... At the beginning, he was also instructed by him......"

Pei Lin is already in the heat of all thoughts, at this time...... is just waiting for Li Shimin's knife to fall.

Li Shimin was furious.

Although he expected that he had spread the bad news and that there would be some chaos in Chang'an City, he never expected that Pei Lin was actually planning to this point.

It's just that Li Shimin was at this time, but his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai.

He exchanged a look with Chen Zhengtai.

Because the real big play is about to begin.

The anger on Li Shimin's face disappeared, but he looked taboo, and said word by word: "So, at the beginning...... You are the one who repaired the books for the Turks and drove the car that led the Turks to attack us, right? Mr. Aotake! ”

Mr. Aotake...... It's Pei Lian.

If so, then it all makes sense.

Pei Lin is the prime minister, always in contact with all kinds of wills.

And this person has a deep relationship with the palace, when Li Yuan was in power, he often entered the palace to meet him, and many old eunuchs in this palace were familiar with him, so as long as he observed carefully, after getting some information from the eunuchs in the palace, it was not difficult to make the judgment that Li Shimin secretly left the palace.

In addition, this Wenxi Pei family is a famous family in the world. Its ancestor is the first ancestor of the Qin Dynasty, after the son, the grandson of the branch of the non-son is sealed Pei Township, because he thinks it is the clan. Later, Pei's family was divided into three branches, living in Hedong, Yanjing, Xiliang and other places, but considering the origin of its pedigree, all of them came from the Pei family of Wenxi, so there is a saying that "there is no two Pei in the world". The Pei family has been a prominent family in Chinese history since ancient times, and it is also a prominent family in Chinese history. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Pei family has flourished in six dynasties, and has flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties. The prince of the Pei family is a family member, and the crowns are endless. There are more than 600 people who have written and listed the official history; There are no less than 1,000 people who are famous in posterity; There are as many as 3,000 officials with more than seven grades.

There are as many as 100 such families who are officials in the court.

Those who rank in the prime minister and the center cannot be counted on one hand.

The resources in their hands are enough for them to collude with Goguryeo and the Turks like Mr. Qingzhu to enrich themselves.

It is no wonder that much of the military was in the hands of the Turks and Goguryeo.

Li Shimin looked at Pei Lin with deep disgust: "Speak!" ”

Pei Lin just sat on the ground indifferently, in fact, for him, he was already in debt, but he was just ...... This collusion with the Turks and the attack on the emperor's car still made him shudder, and he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no......"

Now, he naturally wants to defend himself.

And the ministers have been shaken, of course they know that Pei Lin has made a layout these days in order to compete for power, and even everyone thinks that this is not a big deal, it's just a matter of becoming a king and losing a villain, but now...... I heard that the Pei family actually colluded with the Turks, and many people who followed Pei Lin in a vain attempt to return the great government to Li Yuan were also stunned at this time, this is over, originally everyone expected that the most terrible result was just to be deposed, but now, ...... If you really convict yourself of such a crime, as a henchman, nine times out of ten, you will die with it.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and looked at Pei Lian: "Do you still want to quibble, do you still want to deny it now?" Well, since you don't see the coffin and don't cry, I came to ask you, you have planned and prepared so much in advance, you can go to Da'an Palace as soon as you learn the bad news about me, if you didn't learn the news early, how could you do such a plan and layout in advance? Since you knew beforehand, then ...... Where did this information come from? ”

Pei Lin felt that his heart was blocked, in fact, he couldn't hear much of Li Shimin's accusations, and now it was a matter of death, and there was no other way to go.

So in the face of reprimand, he couldn't answer half a sentence.

"Your Majesty......" Xiao Yu was already startled, colluding with the Turks and attacking the emperor, this is a real crime of destroying the family, he immediately said: "Wait...... They were all bewitched by Pei Lian, and the minister really didn't know about it. ”

Li Shimin didn't have the heart to take care of Xiao Yu, he only cared about who this Mr. Qingzhu was now.

But Pei Lin just looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which made him angry.

"Let's talk about it, how did your Pei family collude with the Goguryeo and Turkic people, and how many unsightly things have you done over the years.

"Minister...... I really don't know what Your Majesty is talking about. Pei replied with a snort.

Li Shimin laughed: "It seems that if you don't have to be severely punished, why don't you refuse to confess?" ”

"Minister......" Pei Lin said to his lips...... A wry smile at the end.

"Your Majesty......" at this time...... Someone stepped forward.

The person who dared to stand up at this time was Chen Zhengtai nine times out of ten, Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen thinks that maybe the real Mr. Qingzhu is not Pei Lian." ”

Li Shimin never imagined that Chen Zhengtai would actually stand up and excuse Pei Lian, he immediately glared at Chen Zhengtai, now that the truth is about to come out, what are you adding to the chaos: "What, could it be that Zhengtai thinks that Mr. Qingzhu has someone else?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen has an idea, but ...... But I can't guarantee that it's this person. ”
