Chapter 32: Self-esteem is too high
Pei Min's answer made the guards who were arraigned a little confused.
Pei Min was in a good mood, and he was not embarrassed by the poor guard, and said: "King Zhong is a prince, and a certain is a foreign minister." The Emperor forbade the prince to associate with his ministers. The emperor treated me like a mountain, how can there be a reason to knowingly commit a crime? ”
He smiled and walked away directly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, plus solemnity.
It is not clear whether Li Heng is the eldest husband Pei Min, but the words "can bend and stretch" are also appropriate for him.
Knowing that he couldn't control the situation, he immediately put down any face, returned the dragon robe and jade seal to Li Yan to make his position clear, and pulled down his face to find himself.
It is not a derogatory term to be able to bend and stretch, and to do it all over again.
Li Heng is indeed a character!
The more this is the case, the less he can be given a chance to make a comeback.
Pei Min walked unusually resolutely.
After the meeting in the political hall, Li Yuanhong and Wei Jiansu found Yuan Qianyao.
found that Yuan Qianyao was drinking tea with Song Jing and chatting about state affairs.
Yuan Qianyao was responsible for the recruitment of local officials, while Song Jing was responsible for the administration of officials under heaven.
They don't belong to each other, but they have something in common.
As soon as the meeting ended, they gathered to discuss cooperation.
"Yuan Gong, Song Gong!"
The two respectfully greeted Yuan Qianyao and Song Jing.
Yuan Qianyao is the master, beckoned the two of them to sit down for tea, and said straight to the point: "The second prince is here for today's meeting?" ”
Li Yuanhong and Wei Jiansu showed a little embarrassment on their faces, and they didn't know how to speak, they were afraid of Song Jing. Although Song Jing is a veteran of many dynasties, he has been very close to Pei Min over the years, and he is already regarded as Pei Min's party.
Song Jing smiled knowingly, but did not speak.
Yuan Qianyao said bluntly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. Why do you need to say more about Song Gong's integrity? When you and I have not yet entered the court, we have begun to hold high the banner of anti-Taiping, it is a clear stream in the temple, what is there to say in front of him? ”
Li Yuanhong and Wei Jiansu respectfully looked at Song Jing deeply.
Wei Jiansu said worriedly: "Pei Xiang has the merit of winning the sky, and he is also loyal to my Datang, and he is still very important to me and other old bones." It's not a gentleman's work to talk about others behind this, but how many years can you and I do this old bone? And Pei Xiang is in the prime of life, once we retreat, this temple must be the world of Zhang Jiuling, Yan Gaoqing, Yuan Luqian, Yan Zhenqing, Li Linfu and others who were promoted today...... Yan Gaoqing, Yuan Luqian and Pei are like brothers, and everyone knows that Yan Zhenqing is a teacher to the king of the county. As for Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu, they have been the right-hand men of the county king for many years, and they are all his henchmen. ”
Li Yuanhong didn't have a good impression of Pei Min, but he didn't dare to resist because of his authority, but he didn't have any scruples in private, and said: "Not only that, the king of the county is good at military strategy, and this big victory over Arabia has not yet been rewarded." Now he is in charge of counterinsurgency, and after he succeeds, he will be rewarded for his deeds. Those brave generals are all his minions. There is a heart inside, there are minions outside, and I am waiting in the temple, but fortunately, I am afraid that I will ...... in the future."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already very obvious.
Yuan Qianyao listened to Li Yuanhong and Wei Jiansu's words of worrying about the country, and smiled.
Song Jing waved his hand and said, "Actually, the two of you haven't seen it yet, so you don't need to worry about this at all." ”
Li Yuanhong and Wei Jiansu said in unison: "Could it be that Song Gong already has a way to deal with it?" ”
Li Yuanhong immediately took another sentence and said, "Listen to Song Gonggao's arguments. ”
Song Jing shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as a high theory, I just think that the two of you think too highly of yourself." The second prince looks down on us old bones too much, if Pei Xiang is really anti-willing, with his current prestige and fame, it depends on you and me? He's going to drive us old bones out of the temple, that's a matter of a few words. Now he is more powerful than Yi Yin of Shang Tang and Huo Guang in the Han Dynasty. can be compared to the sage Zhou Gongdan in the past, but Zhou Gongdan is still controlled by Jiang Ziya, the king of Zhaolie Wucheng, but Pei Xiang is unstoppable. He kept our old bones because we were useful to the country. If you come out at this time and can't get along with him, do you really think we have no one to replace? ”
Li Yuanhong was completely dumbfounded, and looked at Yuan Qianyao blankly.
Yuan Qianyao said: "People are valuable in knowledge, to this point. Instead of going against the current and capsizing the ship, it is better to go with the flow. As for whether Pei Xiang used power for personal gain or used power to make meritorious contributions, we will wait and see. If it is the former, then think about it, if it is the latter, it will be good for the world. With the old opinion and going with the flow, Pei Xiang's achievements with the country and the dynasty are far better than ours. We are powerless to turn the tide, why can we doubt that we can help him who will fall in Great Xia? What's more, which of these people he reuses is not a rare genius in the world? ”
Li Yuanhong and Wei Jiansu were suddenly speechless, they could doubt that Pei Min was very difficult to govern, but they had to admit that if there was no Pei Min, the Tang Dynasty would be wiped out.
**********
Lingwu Hall.
Li Heng, who received the reply from the guards, did not have any expression, but just retired all the guards and stayed alone in the main hall.
Uncooked!
Prince!
Minister!
The naked words constantly stimulated Li Heng's nerves: "Pei Min! ”
Two words almost popped out between his teeth, revealing the deepest hatred.
"If you want me to die, then let's see who dies!"
There was a hint of madness in his eyes......
**********
To deal with the scourge of Li Heng, it is better to deal with it sooner rather than later, Pei Min learned about the interrogation situation as soon as he finished the meeting in the political affairs hall.
The results speak for themselves.
Le King Ren was the first to compromise and surrender.
Lin Zhaoyin, Yin Fengxiang, Liu Fengting, Yu Chaoen, and Bian Lingcheng have more or less done some unspeakable things, but it was Li Jingren who really intercepted Pei Min's letters.
Li Jingren's weight is to be in charge of the letters in the palace, Pei Min's letter was personally given to Li Fuguo, and he also saw Li Fuguo arrogantly open Pei Min's secret letter.
The terrible people in Yushitai Prison know that Li Jingren, a steward eunuch with fine skin and tender meat, can withstand interrogation and confess directly.
Li Fuguo has undoubtedly become the culprit.
However, Li Fuguo refused to admit it and gritted his teeth.
With the means of interrogation by the Imperial Historical Observatory, he didn't pry his mouth open for a while.
"Pei Shuai!" Wang Xiaobai said: "We don't dare to use too heavy a punishment on Li Fuguo, after all, he is behind Li Heng, and the punishment is too heavy, for fear of falling into a trick." ”
Wang Xiaobai is not from Yushitai, but Pei Min asked him to observe, which is no different from the chief judge.
"But I can see that Li Fuguo is a person who is afraid of death, as long as he is promised a chance to survive, he should be able to confess. It's just that Pei Shuai needs to go out in person, and only when Pei Shuai personally promises that he can let go. ”
"Impossible!" Pei Min refused, "Li Fuguo has to die, in this regard, you are too upright." I have already obtained the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history for Li Linfu, and this matter will be handled by him. ”
