Chapter 1367: Pei Lin and the eldest grandson Wuji

The north wind rose, the snow ball the size of a grain of rice was wrapped and blown into the window, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji also put on a fur coat at this time, although the mutton on the table was delicious, but the two of them were old, and they didn't have much appetite, so they stopped after eating a few bites, and then they also quietly enjoyed the snow scene outside the window.

"Look at this weather, I'm afraid that today's snow is not small, and it just happens that there is a shortage of water this year, but it can alleviate the drought today!" After a long while, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly speak.

"Brother Eldest Sun, you are really focused on government affairs, and you can't even forget these things at this time." Li Xiu heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, but he showed a helpless expression and said, you can think of farming when you enjoy the snow, this kind of dedication Li Xiu can't compare.

"In his position, he naturally has to seek his own government, although our Datang is not short of food now, but if it encounters a famine, it will still make the people's hearts float, so we have to guard against it!" The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed at this time and said, even if the Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly powerful now, as an important minister of the court, he still does not dare to relax for a moment.

"Brother eldest grandson, you and I are not young anymore, and we even have a lot of grandchildren, it is better to leave those troublesome things to the children and grandchildren to deal with, why do you have to work as hard as before?" Li Xiu changed his words at this time, and finally entered today's main topic.

"Hehe, I know that Brother Li, your meal has a deep meaning, it seems that you are here as a lobbyist for Your Majesty." When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Xiu's words, he smiled unexpectedly, he had already guessed that Li Xiu's purpose of inviting him to dinner was not simple, but he didn't expect Li Xiu to directly persuade him to quit the court.

"Brother Eldest Sun, you guessed wrong, I didn't come to be a lobbyist for Your Majesty, but to give you a suggestion as a friend, after all, we have known each other for many years, and I really can't bear to see you fall into the quagmire step by step!" Li Xiu sat up straight at this time, and said solemnly.

"The quagmire? Why did Brother Li say that? The eldest grandson Wuji also looked at Li Xiu at this time and asked.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, don't you understand such a simple truth, even if there is the entrustment of the emperor, but we must also pay attention to proportion, especially Your Majesty has become an adult, and he is no longer the child he was at the beginning!" Li Xiu also said it at this time, after all, with his friendship with the eldest grandson Wuji, there was no need to detour anymore.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face also showed a tangled expression, and after a while, I saw him speak: "Brother Li, I am different from you, you can resign from your official position and go home to cultivate yourself, but I have to stay in the court to feel a little fun, and I have been operating in the court for many years, and I finally have today's status, if I let go now, I am really unwilling!" ”

In and out of the phase, is the highest ideal of all scholars, can do very few, and the eldest grandson Wuji is one of the people who can do it, and power is one of the most intoxicating things in the world, the eldest grandson Wuji is now under one person, above ten thousand people, naturally unwilling to give up the current status and power.

"Brother Eldest Sun, it's no longer a question of whether you want to be willing or not, but whether you want your own power or the life of the Eldest Sun clan?" At this time, Li Xiu asked with a solemn face again.

"What do you mean, is Your Majesty really going to do something to my uncle?" Although the eldest grandson Wuji was blinded by power, his mind was not confused, and he reacted immediately when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"No, although Your Majesty is a little dissatisfied with you now, but it is not enough to kill, a few days ago, someone slandered Your Majesty, falsely accusing you of rebellion, and as a result, Your Majesty directly ordered you to be executed, and the song was also burned, which is enough to show Your Majesty's trust in you." Li Xiu sighed at this time and said.

"Hmph, the old man is in a high position, so he naturally offended a lot of people, these people obviously don't dare to attack the old man, so they can only use this kind of despicable means in secret!" When the eldest grandson Wuji learned that someone had falsely accused him of rebellion, he also snorted coldly at the moment, although he was domineering in some things, he definitely had no intention of rebelling.

"This method is indeed despicable, and Your Majesty will not believe it now, but Brother Eldest Sun have you thought about it, this method is useless once, twice useless, but there are many times, as long as it is useful once, your eldest grandson's family is a catastrophe, especially now that Brother Eldest Sun has a monopoly on power, and no one above the court can contain you, this is a taboo for the emperor, even if Your Majesty is your own nephew, I am afraid that I will not always tolerate a person who threatens his imperial power!" Li Xiu also said calmly again at this time, if he didn't say these words clearly, I am afraid it would be difficult to say that Eldest Sun Wuji would be difficult to say at all.

"I ...... How can I monopolize power, although I am involved in the military and political affairs of the DPRK and China, but in the end it depends on Your Majesty's will! At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji blushed and argued for himself.

"Brother Eldest Sun, why are you saying these things in front of me?" Li Xiu smiled again at this time, "When the emperor was alive, he once said that if you take the world as a mirror, you don't see what happened to the dictatorship of those relatives in the late Han Dynasty, do you really want to follow Yi Huo, eldest grandson?" ”

Li Xiu also completely let go at this time, and what he said was almost heart-wrenching.

"Brother Li, what do you mean by this, don't you know what I am?" The eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Xiu's words a little unpleasantly, and his face sank at the moment.

"Why should the eldest grandson pretend to be confused, does this have anything to do with your personality, if you really get to that point, I'm afraid I can't help you even if I want to, and the reason why I invite you here today is Pei Gong, I'm afraid you also understand, after the first emperor just ascended the throne, Pei Gong resigned for retirement, and I didn't hide it from you, in fact, when Pei Gong resigned, I also persuaded behind my back, and now your situation is similar to Pei Gong's resignation, but you don't have Pei Gong's courage!" Li Xiu said again at this time.

"I ......" The eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Xiu say that he was not as good as Pei Lian, and he couldn't help but look pale and wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say?

"Brother eldest grandson, you can afford to put it down as a husband, your current position is already very dangerous, when the emperor died, you and I had an agreement, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid I'm worried that you and my agreement may not be completed!" Li Xiu sighed again at this time.

At the beginning, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji had agreed that if Changsun Wuji died in front of him, he would also tell him his secret like he did to Li Shimin, but if Changsun Wuji refused to give up the power in his hands again, he would definitely die under the knife in the end, and this agreement would naturally not be completed.
