Chapter 8 Pei Lian's Visit

"Oh, I can't be idle at home, oh my God." Xu Qing said and walked to the door. Pei Lin is his superior, and he doesn't need to go to the post, nor can he use his subordinates to greet him.

"Master Pei, Master Pei, you are far away." Xu Qing greeted Pei Lin in with a smile and asked, "I don't know what Lord Pei is doing when he comes to the cold house?" ”

"Marquis Xuanping, the old man is here for Lord Zhan's appointment. The old man knew that Master Zhan was an old subordinate of Xuanping Hou, and the old man came to ask what Xuanping Hou thought. ”

Xu Qingxin said, this is a great face, appointing officials, I haven't heard of asking the Xuanwu Gate guards. Even if Xu Qing is Zhan Zeng's old boss, but it has nothing to do with Zhan Zeng's future appointment, Pei Lin came to ask Xu Qing so blatantly, I'm afraid there is something else to do.

However, if Pei Lianxuan didn't say anything first, Xu Qing wouldn't ask. Pei Lian's rigor swept over a lotus pond in the backyard of Xu Qing's house, and said, "Can we go there to talk, the old man hasn't been outside here for a long time."

Xu Qing also agreed: "Pei Xiangdu said, how can the kid not have the power of bottles?" Pei Xiang, please come with me......"

Zhan Zeng followed behind Xu Qing and Pei Lian, and he didn't dare to make a sound. Zhan Zeng is still just the governor of Cangzhou, the official of the fifth grade, and he grabs a lot of it in Chang'an City, which is no different from a small errand. Pei Lin first praised Zhan Zeng's exploits in Cangzhou, and then said in two directions: "Now there are several places in the imperial court that are indeed high-ranking officials, one is the southern mountains and wilderness, and most of those places are educated, most of them are local local officials, and people taken by the imperial court would rather dismiss the officials than go to such a far and dangerous place." Second, in the hometown of Xue Yantuo in the north, when the prince established the prefecture and county, he only arranged the local governors with the method of integrating military and political affairs. Hmm, this, these two places, where can Master Zhan go from Xuanping Houju? ”

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Pei Xiang, the integration of military and political affairs in Xue Yantuo's hometown can just be applied to the situation of multiple battles at the border pass. Xia Guan thought that not only Xue Yantuo's hometown should be promoted in this way, but even all the borders of the Tang Dynasty should be like this. As for the south, the minister has been there when he traveled, and there are many other ethnic groups there, so dealing with the relationship between Han and Miao is the most important thing. The imperial court could reduce the method of selection, and promised that as long as there was no mistake in the term and the term was completed for five years, it could be transferred to the Central Plains. In this way, why worry that people of insight from all over the world will not rush to come? ”

Pei Lin smiled and said: "Hahaha, the old man knows that Xuanping Hou must have a way to these two thorny problems." Saying that, Pei Lin looked at Zhan Zeng and smiled, it was obvious that they had joined forces to deceive Xu Qing at this time.

Xu Qing glared at Zhan Zeng, and Pei Lin hurriedly smiled and said: "Xuanping Hou Mo is angry, the old man recognizes this Zhan Zeng's ability in his heart, and he has already arranged for him to be the assassin of Jizhou." You don't know that since you left Cangzhou, the governor's office of South Hebei Province has moved to Jizhou. This time, Zhan Zeng went to take office, but it was the history of the capital. ”

Xu Qingle looked at Zhan Zeng and said: "This is to congratulate Zhan Zeng, you have Pei Xiang's blue eyes, which is even more rare than the history of this capital?" ”

Zhan Zeng thanked Xu Qing and went out to Chang'an City to visit some other friends.

Pei Lin looked at Xu Qing and said, "Marquis Xuanping, has King Qin been here in the past few days?" ”

Okay, here's the point!

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "King Qin is very busy, how can he come to my thatched house?" ”

Pei Lin glanced at Xu Qing, smiled and didn't delve into Xu Qing's words, and then he asked: "Now it's only the two of us, the old man asks you bluntly, who do you think has a better chance of winning between the King of Qin and the crown prince?" ”

"This ......"

"You don't have to worry, no third person will know about our conversation today. Moreover, the old man is the same as you, loyal to the emperor. ”

Xu Qing sighed, held his chin and thought about it, as if he had encountered this problem for the first time. Pei Lin was not in a hurry to know Xu Qing's answer, and stood quietly with his hands in his hands, looking at the pool full of green lotus leaves and pretty lotus flowers. Xu Qing was thinking in his heart, the prince of the Xuanwu Gate was defeated, not only could he not inherit the throne, but he also lost his life, and no one in the family survived. However, judging from the current situation, Li Jiancheng's chances of winning are greater.

In this way, there are three types of people who answer this question. The first category, ordinary people, they see the infinite scenery of King Qin, but they don't know that Li Jiancheng still water is deep, so they will think that King Qin is victorious. But the status is higher, and people who see more things will see the emperor's support and the prince's military power, no matter how you analyze it, as long as the prince does not commit suicide, it is impossible for King Qin to inherit the treasure. This is the second type of people, among this kind of people, there are both broken jars and broken ones, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who went all the way to the black. There are also those who wait and see, those who flatter, and so on. The third type of people, perhaps as long as Xu Qing, thinks that King Qin has a big chance of winning.

Xu Qing is not only because he has the memory of later generations, but also because Xu Qing knows that King Qin is a person who does not admit defeat, and he is desperate to survive. Li Jiancheng's old residence is competent, as long as he is not careful, he will fall short.

Of course, Xu Qing couldn't know what to say, Li Shimin had already taught him a lesson just now. Xu Qing decided to hide his clumsiness and regarded himself as the second type of person: "Pei Xiang, the kid thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a better chance of winning." Don't look at Yang Wengan's rebellion, King Qin has the upper hand, but a discerning person can also see that His Majesty's holy will has been decided, how can it be easily changed? ”

When Pei Lin heard this, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know about the Yang Wengan incident two years ago, but you misunderstood the impact of that incident." It was not the King of Qin who had the upper hand, but His Majesty who alienated the King of Qin. ”

"Oh? How unpredictable is this, the world is really impermanent. Xu Qingzhen sighed and said: "Listening to Pei Xiang's tone, Pei Xiang also supports the prince?" ”

Pei Lin smiled and said: "The old man is loyal to the emperor, and I will support whoever the emperor supports." ”

was still taken into a cage by Pei Lian, but this cage did no harm to Xu Qing.

Pei Lin glanced at the sky and said, "In the old man's opinion, King Qin has a big shortcoming, and he can't become a climate." ”

"What are the drawbacks?"

"This shortcoming of King Qin is still an advantage among ordinary people, but in the struggle for the throne of the emperor, King Qin looks a little young."

"Oh? Pei Xiang said this, King Qin was high-spirited, but he was not frivolous. Xu Qing was puzzled: "Besides, if King Qin is older, can he solve the problem he is facing now?" ”

"That's a hypothetical question, the old man can't answer it, but now it seems that the King of Qin has been besieged by the emperor and the crown prince, and he has already become a defeated army." Pei Lin shook his head: "He knows that he will fail, but he is still unwilling to be caught, isn't it stupid?" Alas, too young......"

Xu Qingxin sneered, it turns out that you are talking about this young man, but the truth is often not as you wish, and in the end it is really this trapped beast who is still fighting. No wonder, as soon as King Qin came to power, none of Li Yuan's subordinates moved, and Pei Lin was demoted.

But as Li Yuan's loyal minister, Xu Qing still has the obligation to remind Pei Lian: "Haha, don't hide it from Pei Xiang, but I have some objections, it's not that he can't see through the situation that he will lose, but he can't let go of some things that must be put down to succeed." ”

"Oh?" This time, Pei Lin was a little confused. Xu Qing added: "King Qin...... Hehe, I still can't let go of family affection. ”

Last night, King Qin and Xu Qing revealed that the brotherhood between him and Li Jiancheng in the early years, in his eyes, Li Jiancheng has long been more than just a brother, but more like a father. The plan of the Xuanwu Gate Change had already been brewing in his heart, and he had already seen through it, as long as he killed Li Jiancheng and killed Li Yuanji, even if he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, he would be able to have the last laugh.

Because at that time, he was the only concubine of the Tang Emperor!

Hearing the word family affection, Pei Lian's face suddenly became very cold, he looked at Xu Qing and said meaningfully: "Xu boy, fortunately, the old man is not your enemy...... However, you didn't say this to others, did you? ”

"How could I say such a hurtful thing. However, Pei Xiang should tell the prince and the others not to force King Qin's dog to jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Pei Lian's face suddenly became a little decadent, the momentum of the superior in front of Xu Qing had disappeared, and now Pei Lin knew what a terrifying character Xu Qing was. He thought about this clearly, smiled and said to Xu Qing: "Xuanping Hou, it seems that you are unwilling to let King Qin succeed?" ”

"Wherever and where, who wins in the end, King Qin and the crown prince, it has nothing to do with me, to be honest, they will all reuse me, and I will enjoy endless glory and wealth." Xu Qing waved his hand, looked at the fish playing lotus leaves in the pool, and then said: "Whoever becomes the emperor of King Qin and the crown prince will be a holy emperor, and there is no difference between the world and Baixin." However, I don't want to make a bloody fight for the last man. Because, history will repeat itself, and once King Qin uses that method, it will cause endless harm to the descendants of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Indeed, after Xu Qing arrived in the Tang Dynasty, it was easy to say anything, famine, you can use hybrid rice, not to mention that you also happened to meet such a made thing as potatoes. External troubles, what Turkic, what Western Regions, what Tibetan, as long as Xu Qing put the fire. Guns, the method of forging is sacrificed, and it is not impossible to dominate the world. If Xu Qing had that kind of thought, what kind of trains and planes could appear in a few decades.

However, the Xuanwumen Incident, an incident that has been criticized a lot, cannot be resolved in later generations. What is the situation in the Hereafter? In terms of character, the King of Qin defeated the prince, and the support of the military generals, the King of Qin defeated the prince, and Li Jiancheng was almost a waste and arrogant, so that there were still people in later generations who did not support Li Shimin. When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Qing took a look, no, Li Jiancheng seems to be a wise man, although in order to consolidate his position, he also framed Li Shimin, but in Xu Qing's opinion, he will not behead Li Shimin, because there is neither that need nor that idea.

Xu Qingchou, he was afraid that he had seen the wrong person, after organizing the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jiancheng became the emperor, and the result was a mediocre emperor, so he was sorry for the people of the world.
