"Li sacrificial wine, please, my lord is inside!" In the inner house of Pei's mansion, a beautiful maid led Li Xiu to the gate of a garden, and saluted very respectfully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you!" Li Xiu smiled gently, which made the maid's face red, and then left shyly, which also made Li Xiu touch his face complacently, sometimes he can't be blamed for being too handsome.

At that moment, Li Xiu stepped into the garden, the sun was shining today, and the flowers and plants in the garden had begun to sprout, looking full of spring, and he walked a few steps along the path of the garden, and soon saw that in a pavilion on the pond in front of him, Pei Lin was sitting in the pavilion in casual clothes, holding a fishing rod in his hand, looking very leisurely fishing for fish.

Li Xiu stepped into the pavilion and came to Pei Lian's side, and said with a smile: "Pei Xiang is really leisurely, I used to like fishing, but I haven't been able to find time to go fishing by the river for a long time." ”

"Hehe, it's inconvenient for the old man to go out to greet you now, otherwise it will only hurt you, so please don't blame Li Saijiu!" I saw Pei Lin hear Li Xiu's words, and immediately looked up at Li Xiudao, and then pointed to the futon beside him and motioned for him to sit down, Li Xiu was not polite, and sat cross-legged on the futon directly.

"Pei Xiangyan is serious, I am not a person from the court, so naturally I don't need to worry too much, not to mention that I was also ordered by King Qin to come to see you this time!" Li Xiu also smiled at this time, Pei Lin belongs to the hardcore princelings, and he is also a thorn in Li Shimin's side, whoever gets close to him will be unlucky, so he said that it is inconvenient to go out to greet him, so as not to let people see Li Xiu.

"I understand, I heard before that Li Xianjiu and the princess saved the family of the King of Qi and the crown prince, and caused the King of Qin to send a large army to besiege you, but then I don't know why the King of Qin retreated, and the King of Qi and others also left safely, presumably Li Xijiu has reached some agreement with the King of Qin, such as surrendering to the King of Qin in exchange for the lives of the King of Qi and others?" Pei Lin heard Li Xiu's words, but immediately reacted, although he was closed, he was very well informed about the outside world, but in the end, he made a mistake.

"Pei Xiang knows a lot, the family of the King of Qi and the crown prince was indeed sent away by me and the princess, and they were personally escorted by the women's army, and now they should have arrived in a safe place, as for I did agree to several conditions of the King of Qin, such as helping him repel the attack of the Turks, but I came to see Pei Xiang today but it was not in the original conditions, and I did not take refuge in the King of Qin!" Li Xiu explained with a smile.

It's strange to say, although he and Pei Lin have only met a few times, they are talking like old friends at this time, and they don't have to worry about what they can't say.

"I see, then what is the matter with Li Saijiu coming to the old man today?" Pei Lin was silent for a moment after listening to Li Xiu's words, and finally asked again.

I saw that Li Xiu reached out at this time and took out the letter that Li Yuan had written before, and then handed it to Pei Lin with both hands and said, "Pei Xiang, please take a look, this is a letter written by His Majesty himself!" ”

Hearing that Li Xiu actually brought Li Yuan's letter, Pei Lin finally couldn't sit still, threw down the fishing rod in his hand and grabbed the letter, and then immediately opened it and read it carefully, but when he read the letter, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "It seems that even Your Majesty has given up, and the seat of King Qin is finally going to sit firmly!" ”

"Yesterday I accompanied the princess into the palace to see Your Majesty, and this letter was also handed over to me by Your Majesty before leaving, and King Qin is coming back soon, and when he comes back, I'm afraid no one will be able to turn over any storms, so please Pei Xiang adapt to the overall situation!" Li Xiu saw the lonely expression on Pei Lian's face, and couldn't help but persuade at the moment.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, I saw Pei Lian close his eyes with a long sigh, and the expression on his face became even more lonely, and after a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li Xiu and said: "Li Xijiu, you once persuaded you not to put all your bets on the crown prince, and don't get too stiff with King Qin, did you already anticipate the current situation at that time?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not an immortal, how could I have predicted it in advance?" Li Xiu denied it with a smile when he heard this, he would never admit this kind of thing, as for Pei Lian's suspicion, it was his business.

Pei Lin kept staring at the expression on Li Xiu's face, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything abnormal, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "But in any case, the old man also wants to thank Li Xianjiu for his kindness at the beginning, but unfortunately I was too close to the prince at that time, and I couldn't turn back at all, so I had no choice but to desperately help the prince suppress King Qin, but now it seems that it has brought endless disasters to my Pei family!" ”

"Pei Xiang doesn't have to worry too much, after all, King Qin is not in the right position, and after he comes back, he will only focus on stability, tomorrow Pei Xiang will take the lead in dealing with government affairs, and then cooperate with him well, it is estimated that nothing will happen in a few years, even if he waits for King Qin to sit on the throne in the future, he will at most be Pei Xiang's official, with His Majesty here, presumably King Qin will not dare to do too much to Pei Xiang!" Li Xiu opened his mouth at this time and persuaded him, even if he is an extremely human minister like Pei Lian, he still doesn't want to live in fear? This also made Li Xiu even more determined not to enter the court.

"Maybe, it's also strange that the old man is too greedy, he is already above 10,000 people under one person, but unfortunately he still wants to continue this glory, and he will also get the title of Sangong in the future, but he didn't expect to cause a big disaster to himself, it seems that people, really can't be too greedy!" Pei Lin sighed again.

Hearing Pei Lian's words, Li Xiu also nodded secretly in agreement, thinking that when he was in his previous life, why wasn't it like this, he climbed up with all his mind, even if he got a generous salary, but he was still not satisfied, but in the end, not only was his family ruined, but his body was also exhausted.

"Haha~, it's rare for Li Sai Jiu to come to the old man's place, I won't say these frustrating words today, come here, prepare a wine banquet, how about Li Sai Jiu also come to taste the dishes in my house?" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Pei Lin laughing, and seemed to vent all his worries with laughter, and then asked people to prepare a wine banquet.

"Very good, I have also heard for a long time that Pei Xiang is an elegant person, and the food in the house is still very fine, but today I came on an empty stomach!" Li Xiu immediately laughed loudly when he heard this, he was not flattering Pei Lone, in fact, in addition to being in a high position, Pei Lone was most famous for liking to enjoy, no good horses, no fancy clothes and no clothes, and he had extremely high requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation in the entire Chang'an.

For Li Xiu's praise, Pei Lin couldn't help laughing happily, and then began to talk about the topics of eating, drinking, and having fun, the reason why he was able to call Li Yuan a brother at the beginning was because of these, the two could be said to be standard wine and meat friends at the beginning, and later developed into close friends, so he was extremely proficient in these, Li Xiu was also knowledgeable, and for a while he chatted with Pei Lin very speculatively.

Soon the banquet was also ready, Pei Lin asked people to send it directly to the pavilion, sit opposite Li Xiu and eat and chat, and he also knew that Li Xiu didn't drink, so he prepared tea for him and asked him to replace the wine with tea, and he himself drank in a real way, and he didn't need Li Xiu's persuasion, he almost poured it into his mouth, and in the end, he was also drunk.

Looking at Pei Lin who was drunk on the wine table, Li Xiu also sighed helplessly, and then called Pei Lian's subordinates to help Pei Lin go back to rest, and he himself said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, Pei Lin really went to the three provinces to deal with official business, and under his drive, several other ministers who had been "on strike" also immediately went out of the palace, what to do and what to do, for a while, the entire imperial court was running normally again, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is worth mentioning that the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were still worried about the rebellion of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, but a few days later, news came from Youzhou again, Li Ying had just rebelled, and was killed by Wang Junkuo with his troops to the mansion, and then cut off Li Ming's head with a knife, and now his head is on the way to Chang'an, and it is estimated that it will arrive in a few days.

After receiving this news, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were happy and a little shocked at the same time, because they both thought of Li Xiu's evaluation of this matter at the beginning, he said that this matter was just a farce, and the two of them were still a little unbelieving at the time, but now it seems that this is indeed the case, which also makes Li Xiu's weight in their hearts increase a few points again.

Li Xiu didn't have time to pay attention to the outside world, since he came back from Pei Lin that day, he was busy in the fields every day, because this was the most suitable time for farming, Liu Laoda, these tenants under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, got up early every day and were busy planting sweet potatoes and corn, but the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture were obviously not enough, so Li Xiu simply went into battle in person, after all, he was busy with this time first.

In addition, on the day Pei Lin went to the three provinces, Yang Nong also took a carriage from home to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, and ran around the fields with those small officials every day and night, guiding the tenants to plant corn and sweet potatoes, Li Xiu also saw that Yang Nong went to the field in person, and he was embarrassed to stay at home, so he went with him to help, and persuaded Yang Nong to rest more from time to time, after all, he was old and not comparable to ordinary people, but Yang Nong promised to do his own thing the next day.

Seeing that the corn and sweet potatoes were about to be planted, Li Xiu could finally rest for a few days, but at this moment, a news suddenly came that shook Chang'an: Li Shimin was assassinated! (To be continued.) )
