Pei Lin woke up at the call of his old wife, he drank too much wine last night, he only remembered the last scene of the fundraising, damn, fortunately he won a lot of money yesterday! Otherwise, the wine downstairs in the world can be drunk like this?

After Mrs. Pei waited for Pei Lin to sober up, she handed him a bright yellow invitation.

It is an invitation to Li Yuan's birthday, and the payment is made by the Emperor Taishang, Li Yuan himself. Pei Lin flipped through it and found that he was not mistaken.

It's weird! Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has been completely driven out of the political arena, leaving the title of Duke of Wei empty, and he no longer has his share on many large-scale occasions, why did the emperor invite him for his birthday!

However, the payment is the emperor...... It seems that Li Yuan's guy is even more boring in the palace, and he wants me to enter the palace and gamble with him on his birthday! Hum! I'm the "gambling king" now, even if you're the emperor, you're not my opponent!

Thinking of this, Pei Lin was worried again...... Li Yuan prepares early for his birthday every year, and gives a heavy gift when the time comes, and he is capable of overwhelming the crowd every time. I got the news in a hurry this year, and I didn't have time to prepare.

Roughly counted his money, although he has recently won a lot in the gambling house, but he has won a lot, spent a lot, in the early years he was used to spending a lot, used to Jiangnan silk clothes, used to the food and wine downstairs in the world, and used to the top girl of Chunfeng Pavilion. Which of these things is not a big deal?

So he didn't have much money in his hand, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the casino to gamble for another day and strive to win more money.

As soon as he went out, Pei Lin met Monk Falla.

Monk Falla, like him, was once deeply appreciated by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, and could even enter and leave the court at will. But after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Falla, like Pei Lian, was pushed to the end, and even food and clothing became a problem. Pei Lin is better, he can often go to Li Yuan to fight the autumn breeze, but Falla is different, in the early years, he climbed to the powerful, and he was in the limelight, but now that Li Shimin is in power, no one dares to pay attention to him. Even the temple was ashamed of him and refused to take him in.

"Why is Wei Guogong in such a hurry?" Falla asked, stopping in front of the car.

"Master Falla, if you don't go to eat fasting and chant Buddha, what are you doing here!"

Fa Yayi said solemnly: "The emperor is not right, and you are also persecuted a lot by the Duke of Wei, why don't you rise up and resist, expel this tyrant, and restore the power of the emperor!" ”

Pei Lin was shocked when he heard this! It's so presumptuous! Even if Li Shimin is not in the right position, can you deal with it! Not to mention anything else, just in Anmin County, the Tang Dynasty praised the emperor and the crown prince endlessly. An emperor who has won the hearts of the people, even if he is unarmed, his country is also iron! Not to mention that the military is full of the emperor's diehards! The five surnames and seven wangs have a superb status in the Tang Dynasty, isn't it also that the emperor has drawn a face of blood!

Pei Lin said expressionlessly: "Master Faya, you and I are old acquaintances, I should have never heard of this, don't come to incite me in the future, it's already very good that I can safely hang the name of Wei Guogong until I die!" ”

……

After speaking, Pei Lin patted the carriage and drove away from the mansion.

Li Shimin closed the secret report of the hundred cavalry divisions, threw the secret report on Wei Zheng and the others, and asked for Faya's folding, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Faya, Faya, do you think I don't know that you are deliberately rebelling in Chang'an? I keep your life because I want to see if there are still those ministers who are angry!

Pei Lone, Pei Lone, you are just an opportunistic villain, you don't know how to be a minister, look at Wei Zheng and them! Falla lobbied them against me, and they not only swept Falla away, but also spoke out as soon as possible. What is it? That's taking a stand! A wall grass like you will not be tolerated by any emperor!

Unconsciously, Li Shimin shouted out what he was thinking.

The queen gently hugged his neck: "Do you want to get rid of Pei Lian?" ”

Li Shimin sighed and said: "This person is an old man in Jinyang, without his persuasion, it is impossible for his father to raise troops, how could he have had a bowl of rich rice to eat, but during the Wude period, he acted misbehaps, and framed Liu Wenjing for rebellion!" At that time, I was holding my father's leg in the palace to intercede for Liu Wenjing, but my father kicked me away just because of his words, Guanyin, you say such a person, can I tolerate it? ”

The queen handed over a note: "Shuwen said that Leng Gongzi promised her to deal with Pei Lin and asked me to invite Pei Lin to participate in my father's birthday, so I sent out the invitation card that I withheld again." Erlang, Leng Gongzi also said that the pigeon meat tastes good......"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You let Shuwen tell you about their academic progress every day, how can such a thing be hidden from Leng Gongzi." Since Leng Gongzi plans to deal with Pei Lian, then I don't care, my father and I have a good relationship recently, and I don't want to be estranged again because of Pei Lian. ”

……

The high casino was as lively as ever, and Pei Lin had a lot of luck today, not only did he not win, but he lost a lot. Winning or losing, Pei Lin could only sigh that he had bad luck today, not only did he go out and meet the crazy monk, but he also lost money.

When he was about to go downstairs and go home, Lao Yuan greeted him: "It seems that Shopkeeper Liu is not very good today!" ”

Pei Lin sighed and said: "Today's little back, playing mahjong to the hand can Hu cards will give others a cannon, alas! If you lose all the money you brought today, I won't invite you Lao Yuan to drink. ”

Lao Yuan smiled and said: "In the past, it was Shopkeeper Liu who invited me, but today I invited Shopkeeper Liu once, and it just so happened that my Lao Yuan had something to ask for." ”

"Oh? Can you still ask me? Looks like I'm going to have to have a good drink for you today! Pei Lin laughed and went to the first floor with Lao Yuan.

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Yuan launched a box of gold bars: "I don't hide it, I want to ask for something from Shopkeeper Liu." ”

Pei Lin was shocked and asked, "What is it, it is worth so much gold!" ”

Lao Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it, I want to buy a piece of wood half a foot long in the middle of the carriage of Shopkeeper Liu!" ”

Take a box of gold and buy a piece of wood? If it weren't for Lao Yuan's madness, then the wood was worth the price!

Pei Lin thought for a long time before he said: "Lao Yuan, you are a rare shrewd person in Chang'an, you won't buy a piece of useless wood, tell me, why is that wood worth this price?" ”

Lao Yuan blushed before he sighed: "Shopkeeper Liu, I won't lie to you, your piece of wood is a treasure called 'gramophone wood'!" What a good thing that is rare to see in 10,000 years! ”

"Gramophone? What's that? "It's the first time Pei Lin has heard of something like this.

"That's the legend handed down from my ancestors, the gramophone wood, the treasure of heaven and earth, before the sound of the wood, and the ordinary tree. However, the sound of the three days will be recorded, and if it is played together with the sound playback wood, the sound of the three days will be set, and the sound of the three days will be made. ”

Pei Lin understood, and asked again: "In this case, if there is no sound wood, then the gramophone is not a waste!" What's the use of you asking for it? ”

Lao Yuan smiled: "Of course I won't ask for a waste, but my ancestors left the sound wood and made a box." If you can find a gramophone, you can reproduce the miracle! ”

Pei Lin was very curious about such a strange thing, so he took Lao Yuan's hand and said, "Lao Yuan, let's give it a try!" Get your feet wet! ”
