After a while, Li Xiu caught a fat black fish, which made him a big surprise, most of the other fish in the spring are very thin, but this black fish is exceptionally very fat, it is estimated that it has swallowed other fish during this time, speaking of which, for future generations of fish farmers, black fish is the fish they are most afraid of, because a few black fish may eat a pool of fish fry.

But at this moment, I saw Pei Lin hesitate for a moment and finally spoke again: "Li Xiu, it's okay if you don't want to enter the court, but I know that you are a very insightful person, I don't know what you think about the current situation in the court?" ”

"Huh? Pei Xiang, you asked the wrong question, I am just a crane far away from the court, and you are known as the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one knows the situation in the court better than you, so this question should be asked by me? Li Xiu turned his head in surprise when he heard this, he didn't know what Pei Xiao meant by asking this question?

"Hehe, as the so-called authorities are obsessed, although I am above the court, I am sometimes fascinated by the situation in the court, and there are too many things that interfere with my judgment, so I want to hear your opinion as an outsider!" Pei Lin smiled mildly at this time, and it seemed that he was really just humbly asking Li Xiu for advice.

If someone else asked like this, Li Xiu would definitely refuse to answer, but Pei Lin hid the matter of the worship for him and Princess Pingyang, which also made him owe the other party a big favor, human favor is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is the most ugly, sometimes you don't even know what to do to pay it off?

"Okay, since Pei Xiang wants to hear it, then he will be ugly!" Li Xiu finally sighed helplessly, it was difficult to return the favor, so he took a long breath and said, "For Pei Xiang, what can attract your attention in the court is nothing more than the dispute between the King of Qin and the crown prince, before the king of Qin took advantage of what Yang Wen did, but in fact he lost the support of His Majesty, and now as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is determined to support the prince, although I haven't paid much attention to the affairs of the court during this time, there must be many people who are showing loyalty to the prince, right?" ”

"Hahahaha~, what you said is right, now that the situation in the court has become clear, many originally neutral people have also begun to bet on the crown prince, it can be said that King Qin has gone to the general trend, now it depends on his attitude, whether it is a futile struggle or let go now, but no matter how King Qin chooses, the final result cannot be changed." Pei Lin also laughed when he heard this, as a person outside the court, it is extremely rare for Li Xiu to be able to see the situation so clearly.

"Hehe, how did Pei Xiang choose?" Li Xiu suddenly said with some curiosity at this time, he vaguely felt that Pei Lin didn't seem to come to him simply for sweet potatoes.

"Hehe, the old man originally had a neutral attitude, but some time ago, the old man felt that the prince was more suitable than the king of Qin, firstly, the prince's strength is in government affairs, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, almost half of the government affairs have come from his hands, and secondly, the prince is the eldest son, if he succeeds to the throne, then he will also set the rules for the inheritance of the eldest son for my Tang Dynasty, so as to avoid the disputes on the throne in the future!" Pei Lin replied very smugly at this time, he secretly supported Li Jiancheng before the situation was clear, and until now, few people know about his relationship with the crown prince, but he is Li Jiancheng's biggest help in the court.

"I understand, I didn't expect Pei Xiang to support the crown prince, no wonder King Qin lost so badly!" Li Xiu also showed a surprised expression when he heard this, he really didn't know that Pei Lin had already chosen to support Li Jiancheng, so Li Shimin would have no chance to ascend to the throne through proper channels.

"Hehe, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, don't look at the old man's current scenery, but it all depends on His Majesty's attention, but His Majesty's age is not young, and there are hundreds of people in our Pei family, so I naturally have to make plans early!" When Pei Lin said the end, he also showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and it was rare for him to tell others what was in his heart.

However, Li Xiu showed a hesitant expression at this time, because he didn't know whether to remind Pei Lin not to do things too desperately, otherwise when Li Shimin turned the tables in the future, I am afraid he would not have any good fruits to eat.

It's just that what Li Xiu never expected was that before he could speak, he saw Pei Lin speak again: "Li Xiu, now that the prince's position has been stabilized, the power in the hands of King Qin will be further weakened in the future, I know that you usually have some dealings with King Qin, but you are not a person from King Qin, but others may not think so, but as long as you no longer have any dealings with King Qin in the future, then I can assure you that no one will trouble you because of this matter in the future!" ”

"Oh? Pei Xiang came to me for a special trip, is it just to remind me? Li Xiu heard Pei Lian's words but suddenly smiled indifferently, he felt that Pei Lin had not finished speaking.

"Hehe, of course it's not just that, in addition, I also hope that you can convince Princess Pingyang, as long as Princess Pingyang can stand on the side of the prince, then King Qin will have no power to resist, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, the old man can also persuade him to agree to your affair with the princess, what do you think?" Pei Lin finally showed his fox tail at this time, he came to see Li Xiu mainly as a lobbyist, and the target was Princess Pingyang.

"Hahahaha~, I see, it seems that Pei Xiang is really working hard, in order to let the prince ascend the throne smoothly, he did not hesitate to surrender his identity as a lobbyist!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing at this time, but after laughing, he suddenly shook his head again and said, "Pei Xiang, you want to borrow me to win over the princess, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed, I can speak for the princess now, she will definitely not get involved in any dispute between the prince and the king of Qin, and I also hope that the prince understands that the most painful thing in the fight between their brothers is the princess, so he won't add to the princess's pain!" ”

When Li Xiu said the end, his face became very serious, and he was even a little angry, Pei Lin came to see him, and he must have discussed it with Li Jiancheng in advance, and he said that the matter of winning over Princess Pingyang must have been agreed by him, but he didn't consider Princess Pingyang's feelings at all, for the princess, no matter which one she supported, she would feel pain.

"You...... Don't be so arbitrary, maybe the princess will have other ideas? Pei Lin saw that Li Xiu actually made a decision for Princess Pingyang, and said a little unwillingly at the moment, in his opinion, the situation is now so clear, Princess Pingyang has the elite of the women's army in her hands, so it's time to make a statement.

"Pei Xiang, you helped me and the princess, so I won't say too much, but you must know that the princess attaches great importance to the family relationship between brothers and sisters, so she will definitely not favor any of them, and I will not allow others to force the princess to do something she doesn't like to do!" Li Xiu said with a serious face at this time, he said these words to Pei Lian, and also to Li Jiancheng behind him.

"You ......" Seeing Li Xiu's attitude so resolute, Pei Lin was also a little helpless, and finally shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, but you must know that it is only a matter of time before the crown prince ascends to the throne, if you and the princess miss this opportunity, the prince may not agree to you and the princess openly together in the future due to various considerations!" ”

"Thank you Pei Lin for your kind reminder, but I also have something I want to remind Pei Xiang!" Li Xiu suddenly took a long breath at this time, and the taste of owing a favor was not pleasant, so he decided to return the favor as soon as possible, so as not to feel unsteady in his heart.

"What?" Pei Lin looked up and asked.

"After all, the prince is still just the prince, and no one can predict the development of the situation in the future, so in my opinion, Pei Xiang's choice is a little too early!" Li Xiu said in a deep voice at this time.

In fact, there were some things he didn't say, with Pei Lian's identity, he could completely remain neutral, so that no matter who ascended the throne in the future, he could at least keep the position of an important minister of the court, but he was too greedy and wanted to maintain the position of the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, so as to override the ministers, so he made a choice in advance so recklessly, but unfortunately he bet on the wrong treasure, and in the end he could only lose everything.

"You...... What do you mean, in your opinion, there is still a possibility for King Qin to turn over in the future? Pei Lin couldn't help but ask with a serious face when he heard this, if someone else said these words, he probably wouldn't pay attention to it at all, but Li Xiu's words made him have to pay attention to it, you must know that a large part of the reason why Li Xiu can be famous is because of his vicious eyes and his prediction of things is very accurate, which is also the main reason why King Qin has always wanted to win him over.

"I didn't say that King Qin might turn over in the future, I just want to tell Pei Xiang to leave a line in his work, and see each other in the future!" Li Xiu smiled again and said, if Pei Lin can listen to his warning, then there will be room for him and Li Shimin to ease up in the future, and it will not be as miserable as in the original history, which can be regarded as repaying his favor.

"Then didn't you say that King Qin would turn over in the future?" Seeing Li Xiu's calm appearance, Pei Lin was even more anxious, if Li Shimin really turned the tables in the future, I am afraid that his fate may be even worse than Li Jiancheng, especially thinking of his previous support for Li Jiancheng and the secret suppression of Li Shimin, I am afraid that Li Shimin has also felt it, and when he thought of this, the cold sweat on his forehead fell.

"I don't understand the things in the court, but I know that there is no eternal friendship in the court, only eternal interests, that's all, and then it's up to Pei Xiang to do it!" Li Xiu smiled again, and after speaking, he began to concentrate on fishing, and no matter how much Pei Lin asked, he refused to say more. (To be continued.) )
