我见裴寂明明知道，此前却并不拆穿，而且从前他又十分疼爱，因此也便无所顾忌，实言相告道：“裴叔父猜得不错，建成今日能被册立为新君，实在是万夫…… Wan Guifei is from this, if it weren't for the concubine Niangniang, she would have died a long time ago. ”

Pei Lin touched his beard and said, "Sure enough, but I don't quite understand that Mrs. Wan and His Majesty have the same enmity, so they will help each other so wholeheartedly?" ”

I couldn't tell Li Zhiyun's past, so I only shook my head, saying that I didn't know why Mrs. Wan was like this.

Pei Lin saw my reaction, and said: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to act like this, knowing that the son is more than the father, presumably the emperor also recognized this point, so he will ......"

Before he finished speaking, I knew what he meant, and since he didn't say anything, I continued: "I'm ashamed to say it, even Jiancheng himself, I never expected that there would be today, Uncle Pei, you don't know, in fact, I didn't want to be the emperor......"

Before the words fell, Pei Lin waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty must not say such things in the future, everyone inside and outside the DPRK and China will stay in Chang'an, that is, relying on the authority of Your Majesty, you can sweep away the wolf smoke in the world." What Fang just said is all old words, Your Majesty summoned alone, there must be something to discuss, please show Your Majesty. ”

I know that Pei Lin said this, he wrote off all the previous sums of money, no matter how I got the throne, he didn't mind, as if the person sitting in this position was me, he was very satisfied, I thought about it and said: "Just now in the Daxing Palace, my uncle also heard Sanniang say that Wen Zhen fled. I think he must have returned to the army in the northwest, but I don't know what he wants to do. ”

Pei Lin said: "What is Your Majesty's countermeasure?" ”

I shook my head and said, "His father, Wen Yanbo, is now an official residence of the Imperial Doctor, if I embarrass his son, how can I stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China?" But if Wen Zhenruo dares to be the enemy of Chang'an with only more than 10,000 people in his hands, according to my uncle, what should I do? ”

When Pei Lin heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "In the early years of Your Majesty, the name of benevolence spread all over the world, according to my opinion, I am afraid that not only Wen Zhen, but also other people who are not very peaceful, are also looking at how Your Majesty will deal with this matter, if Your Majesty easily let it go, will it not fall into the tongue of others, if they also follow Wen Zhen in the future, Your Majesty will be in trouble at that time." ”

I said, "Could it be that Uncle Pei means that he wants me to ......?"

Pei Lin looked at me, nodded, and said, "It's just that this matter doesn't have to be done by Your Majesty." Wen Zhen defected, as His Majesty said before, General Xu will act at the opportunity, I see that Xu Shixu is not a foolish person, Your Majesty can rest assured, within three days, Wen Zhen's head will be sent to Your Majesty. However, before that, His Majesty still needs to issue an edict that explicitly orders Xu Shixu not to hurt Wen Zhen. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What does Uncle Pei mean, is it that General Xu will take responsibility for me?" After saying that, he shook his head again and again.

Pei Lin said: "The emperor's technique is like this, Your Majesty can still consider it carefully, but it can't be delayed, Xu Shixu's reputation for courage has not diminished, but I am afraid that Wen Zhen is not his opponent." ”

I nodded, and got up to send Pei Lin out of the temple gate.

When I returned to the Wude Palace, I was very bored in my heart, and I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't know what it was for.

Zimin sensed my emotions and softly soothed: "Big brother, but for Wen Zhen's business? "She always reads my mind.

I said: "Back then, I had a fellowship in Du Kangju, and now I suddenly want to kill him, how can I bear it?" ”

Zi Min said: "Is there no other way? ”

I shook my head again and again, knowing that Zimin couldn't see it, and said "no" again. What Pei Lin said was only one aspect, on the other hand, since he had fled, he should have guessed that the edict was fake, or listened to the instigation of others, if he didn't kill him, it would be a disaster after all.

Thinking about it, I suddenly came back to my senses, only to feel a shock in my heart, I have only been an emperor for less than a day, when did I start thinking like this? What I am thinking about is no longer human life, but whether the existence of this person threatens my throne, is this supreme and noble position really such an evil sect?

After a long time, I slowly stood up, thinking that my original intention was to give the whole world to Zimin, and now I have only obtained a corner of Guanzhong, and my foothold is not stable at all, so I am so slack, it is really undeserved.

If I waste my energy on these things, I am afraid that I will not get all the world, and I will die of mental exhaustion.

Thinking of this, I suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and immediately wanted to pass someone in, glanced at Zimin, and felt that it was inappropriate, so I said to her: "You wait a while, I'll go out and come back in a while." ”

Zimin didn't care, I was very busy as the prince at the beginning, and now that I am the king of a country, I will naturally not be more idle than when I was in the prince's mansion before.

When I returned to the Liangyi Palace, I immediately ordered someone to draw up a will, so that Dou Xiaochen could quickly send it to Xu Shixu's tent, and at the same time, the oracle that I intended to pardon Wen Zhen's innocence spread throughout the palace, and everyone outside the palace also knew about it.

As Pei Lin expected, when Dou Xiaochen went to Xu Shixu's army, Xu Shixu didn't take my edict seriously at all, but only replied that if Wen Zhen really had bad intentions, there would be casualties in the battle between the two armies, and besides, the general would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and if he accidentally injured or killed Wen Zhen during the confrontation, it was not something he could control.

Dou Xiaochen replied, and in less than half a day, someone came to report the victory.

Wen Zhen really pointed to Chang'an according to more than 10,000 people in the northwest, and preached to the outside world that I was a Jiao Zhao ascending the throne.

However, even though he said this, I later heard that many people who heard this said did not believe it, because my father's attitude towards me was not perceived by more people than a few people close to me, so everyone still thought that my father and I were the same as before.

Wen Yanbo had already been invited into the palace by Pei Lian, and when he saw his son's head in a different place, the always reserved and steady Imperial Doctor couldn't help but shed tears, but he knew that he was wrong.

I knew that Wen Zhen didn't know that he would meet Wen Yanbo before he acted, probably because I was afraid that he wouldn't believe him.

Xu Shixu also knelt in the hall, but refused to admit his mistake, only saying that the two armies were fighting, and Wen Zhen was accidentally injured and died.

Although no one would believe such words, this kind of rhetoric is extremely necessary, Wen Yanbo can't refute it, and it also leaves room for me, after all, I didn't kill his son.

After this incident, I realized that no matter what the emperor did wrong, there would always be a subordinate minister to take responsibility for him, and he could continue to sit in the world with a high sounding sound.

After Wen Zhen was killed, the people who were watching from the court put away their contempt, and they didn't even dare to talk about what happened before I ascended the throne.

Naturally, this is what Cui Shaoqing told me when I visited Du Kangju again.

This matter must be, I naturally thought of Luoyang.
