Pei Lin found Li Yuan again, and said in the tone of an old friend: "A few days ago, I persuaded Tang Gong to let you sleep in the palace for the sake of himself and the common people in the world, the purpose is to make you stop hesitating. Right now, the Turks are attacking, because you failed to defeat the Turks, the emperor will take you to Jiangdu to ask for guilt. If you don't strike first, you will definitely be made later. Please Tang Gong must think twice? ”

Li Yuan hesitated, and said helplessly: "You are determined to let me raise troops, otherwise you would not have designed the affairs of the palace?" ”

Pei Lin said: "I know that you are loyal to the Sui family, but if you don't think about yourself, you can imagine what will happen to you." In addition, this time the Turks are attacking, Emperor Yang of Sui has already disregarded the situation and sent an envoy to ask you for the blame, this is a very bad sign, wait for you Jiangdu, whether your head can be saved, there is no doubt about the situation! ”

Li Shimin echoed on the side: "Now the lord is mediocre, the country is in chaos, loyalty cannot make the country stable, and the people cannot live in peace. ”

Li Yuan said: "It seems that I am helpless. But the family is still in Hedong, and this matter should not be in a hurry, and it should be postponed a little longer. ”

Li Shimin said: "It can't be delayed any longer, the danger is imminent, and we have to take action as soon as possible." If it is also very convenient to act, Jinyang soldiers are strong and strong, money is accumulated in the palace, and there are huge amounts of cloth, so under such good conditions, are you afraid that it will not be possible? ”

Pei Lin agreed: "Now that the acting king who stayed in Chang'an (Yang Yu, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui) is weak and weak, Tang Gong attacks Chang'an with his current strength, and it is easy to occupy Chang'an. Why settle for the status quo and be an envoy of the court? Sit back and wait? ”

Li Yuan couldn't withstand the persuasion of Li Shimin and Pei Lin in turn, so he made up his mind to start an incident and secretly deployed.

But within a few days, Emperor Yang of Sui pardoned Li Yuan's defeat and reinstated him.

At this time, Li Yuan repented again, was content with the status quo and stayed behind in Taiyuan, and never mentioned the matter of righteousness, as if Li Shimin and Pei Lian's bitter words were like a donkey burping, and soon disappeared and did not exist.

In the following days, more and more people urged Li Yuan to raise troops, Sima Xu Shixu of Yingyang Mansion, Wu Shi Tong of the Marching Division (this man is the father of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history), former crown prince Zuo Xunwei Tang Xian and younger brother Tang Jian, etc.

However, Li Yuan was like a stone, everyone wore out their mouths, their throats were hoarse, and what should be said was rotten over and over again, Li Yuan was still unmoved, and he looked like he was loyal to the Sui family and had no two hearts, which made the persuaders so anxious that they almost jumped.

Liu Wenjing, who was escorted out of prison by Li Shimin, was also anxious, found Pei Lian, and blamed: "Why don't you hurry up and persuade Tang Gong to raise troops, why do you have to delay so many times?" As a palace eunuch, you let the emperor's concubine serve Tang Gong privately, such a crime, you and Tang Gong can't afford it. If you don't raise troops before Emperor Yang of Sui sanctions you first, you will all die and affect your families. ”

In a word, once the matter of the private servants of the Jinyang Palace is revealed, a hundred heads of him and Tang Gong will not be enough to cut off! It is important to spare your life, so you have to quickly get Li Yuan to raise troops, this is the best plan to save your life.

For this reason, Pei Lin was not embarrassed, and pestered Li Yuan every day, so that he could raise troops. Li Yuan refused, so he stalked cheekily, thinking that Li Yuan couldn't stand this annoying spirit, and finally agreed to get into trouble.
