Chapter 104: The Storm Rises

Although it was said that it was to catch the wind and wash the dust, Li Hong took Pei Xingjian all the way back to Pei's mansion.

Mrs. Pei had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time, and when she saw Pei Xingjian's such a sluggish posture, she was so distressed that she almost shed tears.

"Old man......"

"You don't have to be so childish, isn't the old man coming back intact?"

Pei Xingjian was gloomy for a while, squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face, and comforted Mrs. Pei.

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down, hurry up and open the middle door to greet him."

After a while, Pei Xingjian remembered Li Hong behind him, and urged Mrs. Pei to say.

"Don't bother, it's better to keep a low profile when you come to the micro-service this time."

Li Hong said softly.

Then the group entered the lobby of Pei's Mansion, but they didn't expect that there was already a person sitting upright, that person was wearing a purple robe, his body was straight, his face was sinking like water, and he was slowly sipping a teacup.

"Master Li?"

Pei Xingjian walked quickly to the middle of the lobby and saluted.

There was disbelief in the voice.

Over the years, Li Ji has gradually been in the mansion for a long time, rarely going out of the house, the most recent is the last time Li Hongsheng dragged him to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

Although this incident was not small, Pei Xingjian did not expect to be able to alarm Li Jidu.

"Humph!"

Regarding Pei Xingjian's respectful posture, Comrade Lao Li didn't buy it at all, snorted coldly, and said with a dark face.

"Old man, let's see how unsuccessful Lao Su's disciples are now!"

Li Ji slapped the teacup in his hand on the table heavily, with a look of displeasure.

Pei Xingjian's face was red and white for a while, and he was speechless in embarrassment.

Although Pei Xingjian is now a figure who can command hundreds of thousands of troops alone, in front of Li Ji, he seems to be a hairy boy who has just joined the army.

Pei Xingjian studied under the late famous general Su Dingfang, and Li Ji and Su Dingfang have been friends for many years.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Master Li's body is getting tougher and tougher!"

Li Hong didn't seem to see the embarrassing atmosphere, and said to Li Ji with a smile.

"It's just your official, why are you so depressed? Cheer up, the old man is not dead yet! ”

Li Ji patted Pei Xingjian's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"What Master Li said is that General Pei doesn't have to worry about it, his father is wise, and he will not let the meritorious ministers be wronged."

Li Hong also followed and said.

It made Pei Xingjian smile bitterly.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, tell me, what exactly are you planning to do about this?"

Everyone sat down in the lobby, and Li Ji's cloudy old eyes emitted a sharp light, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Master Li, don't be impatient!"

Seeing that Li Ji was so anxious, Li Hong said with a bitter smile.

After a moment of silence, Li Hong slowly spoke.

"This matter has been controlled in the political hall for the time being, and no court meeting has been issued, but I am afraid that this matter will be discussed at the court meeting in a few days after delay, and General Pei is afraid that he will have to prepare."

Pei Xingjian's heart tightened, although Li Hong and Li Ji came over to comfort him one after another after he came back, but because of this, he felt that this time the matter was not so simple.

Now it seems that the situation has exceeded his expectations.

"Your Highness, let's talk about what happened! The minister is still confused......"

Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly and said.

Half a month ago, Pei Xingjian returned to the court with a great victory, but suddenly received a holy decree seven days ago, in which he was dismissed from his official position as the head of the Dingxiang Road march, and ordered him to return to Beijing immediately to face the saint.

Even the chamberlain who came to announce the decree confiscated Pei Xingjian's talisman and changed his personal guards, half protecting and half surveilling, followed him back to Chang'an.

Even now, those "personal guards" are still guarding outside Pei's mansion.

When he received the order, he knew that something major must have happened in Chang'an City, so Li Zhi made such a strong order to take away his military power and send him back to Chang'an directly.

Along the way, Pei Xingjian knocked on the side, and finally got some news, and then he knew that what he was most worried about had happened!

However, Pei Xingjian is not clear.

"Well, I'll start from the beginning."

Li Hong's mind turned, and he understood the general situation of the matter, coughed, and slowly spoke.

"Things have to start from ten days ago, just ten days ago, Zhongshu ordered Li Yifu, Shangshu's left servant shot Liu Renliang, and Pei Yan, the household servant, jointly gave a secret recital to his father, and after his father read it, Thunder was furious......"

Speaking of this, Li Hong was a little embarrassed.

"So he immediately sent someone to issue a decree and recalled General Pei back to Chang'an!"

Seeing that Pei Xingjian's face was getting darker and darker, Li Hong hurriedly said again.

"General Pei, don't get me wrong, my father was just impulsive at the time, and he didn't doubt General Pei's intentions, and after calming down, he felt a little regretful, but the will had already been issued, and it was difficult to take it back, and the secret letter was played jointly by three important ministers, so my father couldn't ignore it, so my father sent Gu to come to General Pei in person today, and asked the general to be calm."

Li Hong said while complaining in his heart about his unreliable father!

I was happy when I made the decree, but I regretted it when I made the decree......

Pei Xingjian's current identity is the successor of the military, which is so easy to move, but Li Zhi can't pull it down by himself, so now the job of appeasing Pei Xingjian has fallen on his head.

"And because it's a secret performance, I only got the news after the will was issued, so I didn't have time to stop my father, please forgive me."

Li Hong said with a guilty face.

He had already paid close attention to Pei Xingjian's affairs before, and had specially instructed Dai Zhide to pay attention to this aspect of the incident.

It's just that I didn't expect Li Yifu to be so ruthless this time, and the fold was handed directly to Li Zhi's desk without going through the political affairs hall, and by the time Li Hong got the news, it was already a boat, and he didn't have time to react.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, what the minister is doing is indeed suspicious, and it is reasonable for Your Majesty to have this reaction, how dare the minister be resentful!"

After a while, Pei Xingjian's face returned to normal, and he said to Li Hong.

He knew in his heart that Li Zhi was still suspicious of him in the end, otherwise the decree would not be so neat, if Li Zhi really regretted it, he only needed to make up a decree, and why bother to work Li Hong to come over, to put it bluntly, it was just an emperor's mental trick.

Now that the war has been decided, Li Zhi is not worried about continuing to deliver such a large number of troops to Pei Xingjian's hands, so he used that secret to revoke his military power, but the military will continue to rely on Pei Xingjian in the future, so Li Hong came over today.

This is the emperor's way of the emperor, Pei Xingjian can understand that Li Ji back then also had the same experience.

Therefore, Pei Xingjian is actually not worried about his safety, but he is still vaguely uneasy in his heart, and feels that Li Yifu's move this time is not so simple.

However, Li Hong's attitude moved Pei Xingjian for a while, because he could see that Li Hong's guilt at the moment was sincere, not a play.

"After talking about it for so long, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has other things to do when he comes today!"

ps: The Western Expedition is about to return, and the war that does not see the smoke in the court is about to begin......
