When Li Shimin heard that Pei Lin also wanted to visit his father Li Yuan, his face immediately became gloomy, and the temperature in the entire hall seemed to be cold in an instant, fortunately, Li Xiu and Pei Lin were not ordinary people, and they were not affected by the atmosphere in the hall at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Pei Xiang, you are busy with official business, and your father is recuperating during this time, so it is not appropriate to see too many people, so I think I will forget it today!" After a long while, I saw Li Shimin slowly speak, although he has now ascended to the throne of the crown prince, but before the throne is in hand, he still has a great sense of crisis, so it is normal to refuse Pei Lin to see Li Yuan.

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister and His Majesty have known each other for many years, every year at this time, the old minister will have a few drinks with His Majesty, I think you should know that when you were in Taiyuan, there were many times when Your Majesty also took you to the banquet, so the old minister just wanted to talk to Your Majesty!" Pei Lin lowered his head at this time and asked again.

Li Xiu, who was next to him, saw this, and knew that he should speak, so he stepped forward and said: "Prince, the minister heard from the princess that His Majesty's mood is not very good during this time, and the minister entered the palace this time to talk to His Majesty, but in contrast, Pei Xiang has known His Majesty for many years, and he and His Majesty have more things to talk about, so the minister also wants to invite Pei Xiang to visit His Majesty together!" ”

Hearing that Li Xiu also helped Pei Lin speak, Li Shimin's face sank again, and he finally knew why Li Xiu and Pei Lin came together just now, and it was estimated that they were probably discussed in advance, which made Li Shimin also a little annoyed.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw Pei Lin speak again: "Prince, the old minister is old, his energy is not as good as before, and he often feels powerless to deal with government affairs, so the old minister hopes that the prince can agree to let the old minister go home to retire!" ”

Hearing that Pei Lin was going to resign, not only Li Xiu looked at him in shock, but Li Shimin also showed a surprised expression, if it was in the past, Li Shimin would definitely not agree, but he has now become the crown prince, and his eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others have also begun to take over the court, so now Pei Lin is not very important, if he resigns now, he can just let his own people replace him.

"Pei Xiangyan is serious, you have just passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, where can you talk about the word 'old'?" Li Shimin sat up straight at this time, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile. This made Li Xiu next to him pouted with disdain, obviously dying happily in his heart, but he said no, so he almost wrote the two big words "hypocrisy" on the door of his head.

"The prince doesn't know, the old minister's health has not been very good in recent years, after seeing the doctor, the doctor also said that I should not work too hard, otherwise my life will be in danger, so please ask the prince for permission!" Pei Lin also knew that Li Shimin was just a few polite words, and insisted on his request again.

"This ......" I saw Li Shimin pretend to ponder for a moment, and finally raised his head and said, "Pei Xiang, the matter of your resignation is very important, and I can't make up my mind when the meeting is closed, so let's go to visit my father with Li Xiu first, and I will give you an answer when you come back!" ”

"Thank you, Prince!" Pei Lin heard that Li Shimin agreed to see Li Yuan by himself, and he was also ecstatic at the moment, and Li Xiu also saluted Li Shimin at this time and thanked him.

At that moment, the two of them walked out of the Liangyi Hall and walked towards the Ganlu Hall where Li Yuan lived, but as soon as they went out, Li Xiu couldn't help but ask: "Pei Xiang, do you really plan to resign?" ”

"Yes, the samurai has been demoted, and it is estimated that it will be the turn of us people next, in this case, it is better to resign as soon as possible, so as not to be humiliated by others!" Pei Lin said with a relaxed smile at this time.

"Pei Xiang can see it clearly, but unfortunately not everyone has such courage." Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard Pei Lian's words.

Pei Lin can achieve this high position, in addition to his friendship with Li Yuan, his own talent is not comparable to ordinary people, such as the resignation of the official, it is not something that ordinary people can do, such as Wu Shi Tong, he would rather be demoted than give up his official position, the same is true for other people, in addition, the timing of Pei Lian's resignation is also very good, that is, not too early or too late, this grasp of the timing is also admirable.

"Hehe, I don't dare to be bold or anything, but the reason why I decided to resign was more or less affected by the horse, otherwise I might not be willing to give up my current official position." I saw Pei Lin suddenly smiled again at this time.

"Accepted...... Influenced by me? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Yes, you don't like to be an official, although there are two false positions, but you can't be regarded as a real official, and your life on weekdays is so leisurely, no matter what changes happen in the court, it won't affect you much, of course, if you don't marry a princess, it will be safer." Pei Lin looked at Li Xiu with a smile at this time, this is also what he said in his heart, since he met Li Xiu, he found that there is such a way to live in this world.

"Haha~, Pei Xiang is polite, I'm mainly lazy, and I don't have the courage to do things, if I have Pei Xiang's ability, maybe I will also enter the court as an official." Li Xiu actually heard a little envy from Pei Lian's tone, and he couldn't help laughing and said modestly at the moment, but the expression on his face had betrayed him, and being able to make people like Pei Lin envious was enough to make people feel proud.

"By the way, if Pei Xiang resigns, what are your plans in the future, you don't really want to return to your hometown, right?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of this question after laughing, so he asked.

"It's not enough to return to my hometown, I moved my whole family to Chang'an, so I will settle in Chang'an in the future, but Chang'an is a miasma in the city, and it is inevitable to get into trouble when I live here, and I happen to have a few other courtyards in Nanshan, so after I resign, I will move to Nanshan, fishing, raising flowers, and I can also visit His Majesty when I have time, and I can also visit the horse, and then please don't dislike the horse!" Referring to his life after resigning, Pei Lin also showed a little smile.

"Pei Xiang is polite, speaking of which, I also like fishing, we can be a pair of fishing friends!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing out loud at this time, Pei Lin is a very interesting person, and it should be interesting to be friends with such a person.

While speaking, Li Xiu and the two finally came to the outside of the Ganlu Palace, only to see that this place was still heavily guarded, and the gifts brought by Li Xiu were handed over to the palace people to deal with, but he took the clothes made by Princess Pingyang with his own hands, and then entered the Ganlu Hall with Pei Lian, but the next experience made Li Xiu never expect it.
