"Pei Lian? What is the matter with him coming to me? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the helmet's report and said to himself, he had just met the other party some time ago, and handed him Li Yuan's letter, so that Pei Lin began to handle government affairs normally, which also drove the operation of the Tang Dynasty, but at this time, Pei Lin should be very busy, why did he suddenly come to him?

"Just go and take a look, speaking of which, we still owe Pei Xiang a favor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Princess Pingyang also said at this time, she didn't know that Li Xiu had reminded Pei Lian, and it was a matter of returning that favor, so she urged Li Xiu to go quickly.

Li Xiu didn't explain much, nodded and stood up, and walked to the front hall, but as soon as he came in, he saw Pei Lin greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Li Xijiu, congratulations!" ”

"Huh? What does Pei Xiang want to congratulate me? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Pei Lian's words and asked, although he is about to become a father, but the child has not yet been born, is this congratulations a bit early?

"Hehe, you'll find out for yourself!" I saw Pei Lin stretch out his hand and take out a holy decree from his sleeve and stuff it into Li Xiu's hand, which also made Li Xiu even more curious, and immediately opened the holy decree and looked at it, but as soon as he saw the beginning, the whole person was also excited all of a sudden, and even his body trembled slightly.

"Bestow...... Marriage! When Li Xiu, who was extremely excited, finally finished reading the holy decree, he couldn't help but say to himself in a trembling voice, this holy decree actually gave him the holy decree of marriage to Princess Pingyang, and for him and Pingyang, this holy decree had been waiting for too long.

"Yes, the holy decree for the first marriage was brought to you by the old man, so I decided to make a trip in person for this marriage, which can be regarded as an explanation for you and the princess!" Pei Lin saw Li Xiu's excited appearance, and couldn't help laughing at the moment.

"Haha~, thank you Pei Xiang!" Li Xiu laughed excitedly at this time, and then solemnly saluted Pei Lian, at this time, he quickly went back immediately to tell Princess Pingyang the good news, but he couldn't leave Pei Lian here alone, so he could only temporarily suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

"The old man is an errand runner, the person who really issued this holy decree is actually His Majesty, and he has also received the support of King Qin, so this holy decree can be issued smoothly, and the world will soon be summoned, and then you and Princess Pingyang will be the real husband and wife!" Pei Lin stroked his beard and smiled.

Hearing that it was Li Yuan's decree, and that it was supported by Li Shimin, Li Xiu also nodded knowingly, it must have been that day after Li Yuan saw that Princess Pingyang was pregnant, he was worried that having a child out of wedlock would affect Princess Pingyang's reputation, so he was impatient to give them a marriage, as for Li Shimin, he had already promised Li Xiu, so it was reasonable to agree to this matter.

"I understand, when I have time, the princess and I will personally enter the palace to thank Your Majesty!" Li Xiu spoke again, speaking of which Li Yuan is also quite pitiful, Li Shimin will not ascend the throne for a day, he will have to be placed under house arrest in the Manna Palace, although he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and he is accompanied by beautiful women, but as an emperor, that kind of life is definitely not what he wants.

"Well, I also hope that you and the princess will often go into the palace to visit Your Majesty, originally I also wanted to enter the palace, but now except for you, King Qin does not allow anyone to see Your Majesty, with Your Majesty's character, I am worried that something will happen to him!" When Pei Lin mentioned Li Yuan, his face was also a little gloomy.

"This ......" Li Xiu thought of Li Yuan's indulgence last time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment, Pei Lian really knew Li Yuan, if Li Yuan continued to indulge like this, his body would collapse sooner or later, and he remembered that after Li Yuan gave up the throne, he didn't do anything else except make a bunch of princes and princesses, it is estimated that this was also deliberate by Li Shimin, who chose a bunch of beauties to throw to his father, so that Li Yuan would have no time to make trouble for him.

"By the way, how is King Qin's injuries now, it is said to be very serious, is this true?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of Li Shimin's injury at this time, and immediately said to Pei Lian, although Pei Lin is not Li Shimin's person, he is still the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty after all, and he must know such a big thing better than himself.

As soon as he heard Li Xiu mention Li Shimin's injury, Pei Lin immediately showed an alert expression, and immediately turned his head to look around, and after finding that there was no one else, he said in a low voice: "As far as I know, King Qin's injury is indeed very serious, since he came back, he has only seen the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and he also summoned all the imperial doctors in the palace to the Chengde Palace, but forbade these imperial doctors to contact the outside world, and the medicine used by the King of Qin is also very precious, and even the princess of Qin went out of the palace in person, but a Taoist temple outside the city prayed for the King of Qin!" ”

"Is it really that serious?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Pei Lin revealed far more information than he knew, and with his identity, he should be able to prove the accuracy of these news, but if Li Shimin's injury was really so serious, it might cause some people to move.

"Hehe, I, like Li Xijiu, have such suspicions!" What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Pei Lin smiled weirdly, and then whispered again, "Actually, it's not just me, many people are doubting whether King Qin's injury is really serious or falsely serious, if it is really serious, Datang may cause a lot of chaos, but if it is fake and serious, then it is likely that King Qin is setting a trap, but judging from all the signs now, King Qin's injury is more like it is really serious!" ”

"Trap?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression when he heard this, with Li Shimin's character, it was indeed possible to do such a thing, after all, with Li Shimin's defeat of the Turks, his control of the Tang Dynasty had finally stabilized, and those who opposed him had to hide in the shadows, such as those who assassinated him this time, if he was seriously injured now, I am afraid that some people would not help but jump out, and then be caught by him.

I saw Li Xiu ponder for a moment, and finally suddenly shook his head and laughed at himself: "Anything can indeed happen in the court, and as for these intrigues, it is even more common, I finally jumped out of the court, and it is ridiculous to spend my mind on these things!" ”

"Haha~, you can still see it!" Pei Lin didn't expect Li Xiu to say such a paragraph, and he couldn't help laughing at the moment, and then said with some envy, "If the old man could be as open as you can see, he wouldn't have what happened today, but I can't sit in the position of prime minister for long, and King Qin has begun to train Fang Xuanling to take over my position, this is a rare talent who is good at strategy and flexible means, and I am also ashamed of myself!" ”

Speaking of the end, Pei Lin also showed a bit of loneliness on his face, after all, he has been the prime minister for many years, but now he has to be replaced by a junior, and he can be stronger than him, how can he not be disappointed?

"Then what are Pei Xiang's plans for the future?" Li Xiu saw Pei Lian's expression, and couldn't help but ask with concern at the moment, through several contacts, Li Xiu found that Pei Lian was still a good person, and could even be called his friend, so he was also a little concerned about Pei Lian's future life.

"The current situation is not up to me!" I saw Pei Lin said with a wry smile, "King Qin needs the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and he won't move us for the time being, but he will definitely let Fang Xuanling and others take over the power in our hands little by little, which may take a year or two, and when Fang Xuanling and others completely replace us, I am afraid that they will be kicked away by King Qin, either demoted or exiled, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to return to Chang'an until death!" ”

Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Pei Lone's words, in the end, it was the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Lone saw things very accurately, he remembered that Pei Lone was indeed after Li Shimin ascended the throne in history, and was demoted to the field as an official within a few years, but after all, Pei Lone was extraordinary, when he was in the field, he actually relied on his servants to quell a rebellion, which surprised Li Shimin, and when he wanted to call him back to Chang'an, the news of Pei Lone's death came, and he was indeed unable to return to Chang'an until he died.

"Pei Xiang's worries are indeed very reasonable, it is better to wait for a while, Pei Xiang took the initiative to resign, and then buy a house in Nanshan, usually fishing, raising flowers, and when King Qin ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely allow others to visit His Majesty, so that Pei Xiang can also go to His Majesty to chat when he is free, so that His Majesty will not be bored." Li Xiu suggested at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Pei Lin couldn't help but be stunned, and his face also showed a contemplative expression, but after a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "I also hope to live this kind of leisurely life in the future, but it's a pity that King Qin probably won't let me resign easily, and I have done so many things for the prince before, I'm afraid King Qin won't let me go too easily!" ”

"This ......" Li Xiu didn't know what to say when he heard this, Li Shimin did have a heart, which was manifested in the fact that he would never kill Pei Lin and these princelings, but he would never care about it at all, so it would be difficult for Pei Lin to escape the fate of being relegated to a foreign place as an official in the future.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Xiu still opened his mouth to comfort Pei Lin a few words, and Pei Lin seemed to have few opportunities to chat with someone during this time, don't look at him as the prime minister, but his status is not as good as before, everyone knows that it is a matter of time before he loses power, which also makes Pei Lin feel lonely, and now he has the opportunity to talk to Li Xiu about his heart, but the chat is endless.

In the end, Pei Lin finally found that he had been delayed by Li Xiu for too long, so he said goodbye to Li Xiu apologetically, and Li Xiu personally sent him outside the door. However, just as Pei Lin turned around and was about to get into the carriage, he seemed to think of another thing, so he immediately turned around and pulled Li Xiu aside and said in a low voice: "Li Xiu, there is something I forgot to tell you, do you know who is behind the assassination of King Qin?"
