Pei Lin stayed alone in the bedroom of his mansion, he wanted to think about things, so he didn't call the concubine and maid to accompany him, and he tossed and turned on the bed and recalled what Wang Wei and Gao Junya said to him at the banquet today:

"Brother Pei Lian, this Li Yuan is now strong and strong, if there is chaos in the future, we will either be treated by Li Yuan as a sacrificial flag animal, or by the court as a scapegoat, in a word, no matter what the result is, we will all die. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Hearing this, Pei Lin was already prepared in his heart:

"Don't hide it from the two adults, this Li Yuan took advantage of the danger of others to hold me hostage with the tribute and treasury of Jinyang Palace as military funds, and I am extremely resentful in my heart! If he really wanted to be loyal to the court, it would be nothing? But I can also see that he, Li Yuan, will not be a person who is willing to live under others, this is just a pile of dry firewood, which can be lit at any time, and I don't know if there is any way to extinguish this fire before it burns. Hearing Pei Lian's words, Gao Junya and Wang Wei's hearts slowly relaxed. They looked at each other:

"Since Brother Pei also thinks that Li Yuan is not small, I don't know what kind of good plan Brother Pei has?!"

"Hmmm! Looking at it below, why don't we write the rules of the seal first, and play it to the two prison princes, let them play the Son of Heaven, and send a messenger to investigate Li Yuan?! Wang Wei Gao Junya listened to Pei Lian's words, and muttered directly in his heart:

"What an old slippery head, Lao Tzu has already done this thing, and I still need you to talk about it."

"Humph! It seems that we still have to make some fierce news with this old boy, otherwise this old boy will not be in the same boat with us. Wang Wei was in a hurry, and without waiting for Gao Junya to speak, he directly pulled out a dagger, took out a piece of silk from his arms, and plunged the dagger directly into the table.

"Brother Pei Lian, I won't hide this matter from you, Li Yuan's wolf ambition is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, we have won over some civil and military officials in Taiyuan, Hedong who are dissatisfied with Li Yuan, and now we are waiting for you to sign it." Pei Lin looked at the dagger with a cold light, his heart was furious, and he looked at Gao Junya's cold and warm face, and then looked carefully at the name written on the silk, which were all some low-level officers and low-level officials who were not in the stream, there were not many high-ranking officials who could be Pei Lone's eyes, and Pei Lone also saw from this list that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were going to make a desperate bet this time. He stretched out his trembling right hand, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote his name. After Wang Wei and Gao Junya saw it, the two smiled slightly.

"Brother Pei is really loyal and patriotic, and he is our companion, but the handwriting is unfounded, and we still have a blood oath, come and bring wine." With Wang Wei's order, a person walked in, Pei Lin looked at the person and knew his name, he was Liu Shilong, the head of Jinyang Township. Wang Wei pulled out the dagger inserted on the table, first drew a bloody mark on the palm of his hand, and dripped the blood into the wine. handed the dagger to Gao Junya, Gao Junya also did as Wang Wei did, and handed the dagger to Pei Lian, and Pei Lin followed suit:

"We swear that we will kill the Li thief, appease the people of Sheji, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent. Oath bearer Wang Wei. ”

"Oath-taker, Gao Junya."

"Pei Lone, the oath-maker, if we violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" After the three of them took the oath, Wang Wei introduced him to Pei Lian.

"Brother Pei Lian, this Liu Shilong is a strong man, volunteered to become the assassin who assassinated Li Yuan, every year, the people of Taiyuan have to go to the Jin Temple to pray for rain, Li Yuan as a Taiyuan left-behind naturally to preside over it personally, this is just an opportunity, after Li Yuan was assassinated, the dragons have no leader, we are announcing Li Yuan's rebellion, and this crisis will be resolved invisibly." In the arrogant laughter of Wang Wei and Gao Junya, Pei Lin forgot how to get out of Wang Wei's mansion.

Will they be able to succeed? If they miss a blow, and Li Yuan knows that I am involved in the conspiracy, will he kill me, even if they succeed, Li Yuan's four sons are all military generals, especially Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanba, who are strong in martial arts and Li Shimin is resourceful, they will not be captured without their hands. And the emperor is far away in Jiangdu, and the two children in Luoyang, Chang'an, can't become a big deal. Well! No, mine has a way out for myself. Thinking of this, Pei Lin put on civilian clothes.

"Someone's coming!"

"The little one is at your command."

"Prepare a fast horse from the back door, I want to go to Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion immediately! Don't alarm anyone. After coming to the Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion, Pei Lin saw Liu Shilong in Li Yuan's living room.

"Brother Pei Lian, this official has been waiting for you for a long time." Pei Lin looked at Li Yuan's smiling face, and a cold sweat broke out on his body. Jin Ancestral Hall, built in the Spring and Autumn Period of Jin and Jin Dynasty, was originally the place where the Jin State Office worshiped the ancestors, and then the three families were divided into Jin, after the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, this place was abandoned, and then hundreds of years later, the grassland Hu people began to rule the Central Plains, regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, wantonly killed the Han people, the Han general Ran Min in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms raised troops, issued an order to kill Hu, once in the pursuit of the Hu people passing by the Jin Temple site, grateful to the Jin Wen Gong to resist the Hu people, respect the merits of the Zhou Dynasty, so rebuilt on the original site, Shuo built the statue of the Jin Wen Gong heavy ear, ordered a special person to sacrifice, After the defeat of the Hou Ran Min, the ruler of the Hu nationality still retained the Jin Ancestral Hall, but in order to confuse the Han people, the function of the Jin Wengong became the rain god, and the number one official of Taiyuan on the auspicious day of the zodiac stipulated every year will come to the Jin Ancestral Hall to pray for rain in person for the sake of the five grains and harvests, and the wind and rain will be smooth and rainy, which has become a officialdom practice, and the people have more children and more blessings for the safety of their families, and they also come here to worship with tribute and incense paper money on other days. Today is the big day of the annual Jin Ancestral Hall, and all the civil and military officials in Taiyuan came to the Jin Ancestral Hall early to wait for Li Yuan's arrival. The unspoken rule of officialdom is that you must respect your superiors and not let your superiors wait for you. Li Yuan, accompanied by his four sons, came to the Jin Ancestral Hall. The cultural relics officials present greeted him warmly:

"See the Left-behind Adults."

"Ahh Ladies and gentlemen, no courtesy! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Oh! Lord Wang, Lord Gao! You're here too. ”

"Yes! How could we not come to such an important matter? ”

"That's it! It's not too early, let's get started! If we miss the auspicious time and offend the heavens, our sin will be great. All the officials present nodded yes. At this moment, Wang Wei secretly glanced at Liu Shilong, who was standing at the end of the team, and made a look, meaning that you can take action, Liu Shilong said secretly in his heart:

'Heaven is evil, you can do it, you can't live, you brought it on yourself, and when you go to the ground, don't blame me! 'Shout directly:

"Stay-behind adults! Liu Shilong, the head of the lowly township, has something important to report to the adult. As he spoke, he hurriedly rushed towards Li Yuan, Li Yuan's guards stopped him, and a few of them were short-tempered and directly punched and kicked him, he protected his head, and shouted while protecting:

"My lord! The small one really has an important military intelligence report! ”

"Someone! Drag him down and bring him to me when the festival is over. Li Yuan's guards followed Li Yuan's orders, and Liu Shilong struggled:

"Lord Li, my affairs are urgent, please listen to me." Wang Wei fanned the flames on the side:

"Master Li, since this strong man has something important, let him hurry up and say, in case there is any important military situation, we can deal with it as soon as possible!" Gao Junya also echoed on the side. Li Yuan waved his hand to the guards:

"Let him go! Say! What the hell is the military situation, if it doesn't matter, I will blame you for the 20th board! ”

"Yes! Adult, but the small one has a request, and that is that the small one wants to say to you alone. ”

"No need, there are no outsiders here, so it's okay for you to talk here."

"Adult, what the little one wants to say is about the lives of tens of millions of people! Ask the adults to let the little ones report to you alone! ”

"If you want to say it quickly, if you don't say it, you will drag down the official and blame the twenty boards! I don't want to delay the auspicious time of the festival. ”

"Ugh! Master Li, why are you doing this? This person is also kind-hearted, so let him tell you alone, this sacrifice to the rain is important, but after all, it is still civil affairs, and military affairs are still more important. Wang Wei fantasized in his heart that after letting Liu Shilong and Li Yuan be alone, when the news of Li Yuan's assassination came out, he immediately beheaded Liu Shilong in the name of assassinating the imperial court official, and then issued orders as the highest official of the imperial court in Taiyuan, replacing Li Yuan as the Taiyuan guard, as if a glorious avenue was spreading in front of him. So continue to encourage on the side. Li Yuan stopped talking, and stared at Liu Shilong with a pair of tiger eyes, Liu Shilong lowered his head:

"Report to Lord Li, there are people in the east of the Taiyuan River who secretly collude with the Turks, intending to kidnap all important officials and betray the emperor after assassinating your lord today."

"Tell me, who is it!"

"It's Wang Wei and Gao Junya!"

"Nonsense, you're framed! This official killed you! When Wang Wei heard this, he pulled out his sword and slashed at Liu Shilong, but he was kicked by Li Yuanba, the sword fell to the ground, and he was also caught by the guards. When Gao Junya heard Liu Shilong's words, she knew that her general trend was gone and could not be recovered, so she had to let the guards bind her.

"I see! Li Yuan, you are so vicious! You're framing Zhongliang。。。。。 ”

"Liu Shilong, there is no evidence, do you have evidence?" Before Liu Shilong could say anything, he saw a black smoke rising in the northwest direction of the Jin Ancestral Hall:

"It's a beacon fire, the Turks are attacking the city!"

"Report! My lord, the Turks were found thirty miles west of the city, and when our army arrived, the Turks had already left, but the Turks still ransacked the village. More than 100 of our people were killed and wounded. When the officials present heard the news, they were shocked.

"What else do you have to say? Down" Wang Wei was still scolding:

"Li Yuan, you are framing Zhongliang, who doesn't know your wolf ambition and wants to rebel, Li Yuan, you must not die well。。。。。。。" Wang Wei and Gao Junya were escorted down, and Li Yuan led the officials to continue the ceremony.

Attached: The township chief originated in the period of Qin Shi Huang's unification of China, when ten households were a pavilion, and a pavilion chief was set up, responsible for public security inspections and household registration statistics, and ten pavilions were a township, and a township chief was set up. In addition, according to the information I searched, the situation of the township chief in the Sui Dynasty was different from that in the Qin Dynasty, the military force in the Sui Dynasty era was not only the central forbidden army under the control of the emperor himself, but also the local army government army, the township soldiers, etc., and the township soldiers were equivalent to the militia organizations in later generations, and the township chiefs were equivalent to the militia company commanders, which were mainly set up in border towns and towns as reserve forces. This is just a proof of information, not a personal opinion.
