East Palace.

After the crown prince Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, he was furious.

"Damn, it's really hateful, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and he actually listened to the words of a nameless boy, it's annoying......"

A teacup was thrown to the ground by Li Jiancheng and shattered with a snap, and the waiters and maids next to him were terrified, and no one dared to come forward to comfort them.

Only the prince's adviser Song Gongqing smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the subordinates of the court have heard about it this morning, Qin Tian justified the name of pork, but it is just a trivial matter, His Royal Highness the Prince, as my prince of the Tang Dynasty, why should he spend his mind on a small person, there are more important things that need His Royal Highness the Prince's attention." ”

Song Gongqing looked very calm, Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned, and asked, "What did Mr. Song say?" ”

"Above the court this morning, Cheng Yanjin and other military generals of the Qin Palace's mansion beat up the official in the main hall, this matter is not serious, but the saint did not mention this matter at all, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried?"

Li Jiancheng was dizzy by Qin Tian's matter, but he didn't think about anything else, but when Song Gongqing reminded him of this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

A military general beat the official in the court but was not punished, what does this mean, it shows that this military general is very favored.

But if you dig deeper, you can only say that the person behind this military general is favored.

"Li Shimin!" Li Jiancheng shouted Li Shimin's name word by word, shouting very slowly, with the power of biting.

Seeing Li Jiancheng like this, Song Gongqing said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now the power and prestige of the King of Qin have far surpassed His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to offer, I am afraid that the Chinese military forces will only know that there is the King of Qin, but I don't know that there is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Who dare!" Li Jiancheng frowned, Song Gongqing shook his head, and did not continue.

After a while, Li Jiancheng slowly recovered and asked, "What is Mr. Song's good plan?" ”

"My subordinates have received the news that the Turkic Jieli Khan is ready to use troops against Lingzhou, Lingzhou is of great strategic significance to my Tang Dynasty, at this time it is more important than Yumen Pass, and it must not be lost, if the Turks really send troops, my Tang Dynasty will face a situation of life and death, if His Royal Highness the Prince can lead the troops to repel the Turkic soldiers and horses, then your prestige in the court is bound to be unmatched, and the position of the prince will be secure."

Hearing that he was going to fight against the Turks, Li Jiancheng did not have a trace of timidity, as a Tang Dynasty man, who is afraid of war?

What's more, he, Li Jiancheng, is also a figure who came out of the Quartet Expedition, and fighting is actually commonplace for him, but his merits are not as good as Li Shimin's.

"Mr. Song's method is naturally feasible, but now the war between the DPRK and China is in charge of the King of Qin, and the prince wants to lead the troops, I'm afraid it won't be easy, right?"

"It's not easy, it's just a holy sentence, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not afraid of danger and is really willing to lead the troops, his subordinates will help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince win the position of Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses."

"Naturally, you can lead the troops, but I don't know what Mr. Song's good plan is?"

"Now the saint is the most favored Pei Lone, if you want this to succeed, you only need to get Pei Lone."

Li Jiancheng's expression moved slightly, and then nodded: "Then I'll bother Mr. Song." ”

-----------------

Pei's house, study.

Pei Lin was looking at the paintings and calligraphy on the table.

"Who sent this?"

"Back to the old man, it is the authentic work of Wang Xizhi sent by Lord Zhang of the Ministry of War."

Pei Lin nodded, pointed to a painting and asked, "Who sent this?" ”

"Master, this is the authentic painting of Gu Kaizhi sent by Lord Liu of the household department."

Pei Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth, these two things are worth a lot of money, and then, he saw an antique again, and was about to ask, when a subordinate hurriedly ran in: "Master, Song Gongqing asks to see." ”

"Song Gongqing?" Pei Lin frowned slightly, the official position of Gongqing Song was not obvious, but he was favored in the East Palace, Pei Lin thought for a moment and said, "Let him wait in the living room." ”

The subordinates retreated, and after Pei Lin ordered the people to put away the calligraphy, painting and antiques, he came to the living room.

"Oh, Lord Song, I don't know if Lord Song came to Pei's Humble House, I don't know what you have to do?" Pei Lian's attitude is still good, after all, even if he doesn't give face to Song Gongqing, he has to give face to Prince Li Jiancheng.

Song Gongqing returned the salute and said, "I took the liberty to come to bother, I really want to ask Master Pei for help." ”

Pei Lin secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was very calm, and said, "If there is anything wrong with Lord Song, just say it." ”

"The Turks want to use troops against the Tang Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to lead the troops to the battle, and when the time comes, please ask Master Pei to help more."

As he spoke, Song Gongqing took out a painting from his sleeve and pushed it over, he had already inquired clearly when he came, and knew that Pei Lin had no other hobbies besides calligraphy and painting.

If you want to ask him to do something, calligraphy and painting are indispensable.

Pei Lin wanted to refuse, he didn't want to participate in the struggle for imperial power.

But after seeing the painting that Song Gongqing took out, he suddenly moved his mind, it was Gu Kaizhi's famous painting "Luo Shen Futu".

This painting was once collected by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and after the death of Sui, he did not know his whereabouts, and he did not expect it to be in the hands of Song Gongqing.

Such a famous painting can be described as something that cannot be obtained.

He was a little reluctant.

"This kind of thing is decided by the saint, Lord Song came to find this official, but I am afraid that he has found the wrong person."

Song Gongqing said: "If you find a mistake, I won't come, I believe that with Master Pei's ability, it is not difficult to do this, His Royal Highness the Prince also said that as long as it is done, I will definitely be grateful to Lord Pei." ”

The word thank you Song Gongqing bit very hard, Pei Lin glanced up slightly, and then looked down at the "Luo Shen Fu Tu", and after a long time, he put the painting away.

"The affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are covered by this official."

Song Gongqing bowed: "There is one more thing that needs Master Pei's help." ”

Pei Lin frowned slightly, a painting wanted him to help twice?

That's a bit too much.

But at this time, Song Gongqing took out another piece of writing from another sleeve, and after Pei Lin saw the word, he suddenly showed a light smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the troops to the battle, and asked Lord Pei to ask the Holy Lord to hand it over to His Royal Highness King Qin."

Hearing that King Qin was asked to raise grain and grass, Pei Lin was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react a little, secretly thinking that Song Gongqing wanted to eat both?

But it's not right to think about it, Song Gongqing has assisted the crown prince Li Jiancheng for a long time, and it is impossible to say that he is working for Li Shimin.

After thinking about this, Pei Lin quickly understood what Song Gongqing meant.

"I bother Lord Song to go back and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that his affairs are known to the officials, and he will never be disappointed."

"With Master Pei's words, I will go back here and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prepare, farewell!"
