"Father, I was wronged, and I really didn't know about the rebellion in the East Palace beforehand." Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan didn't believe it, but it was even more unlucky to say it.

Li Yuan said: "But someone came to me and said that you bribed the ministers of the East Palace to persuade the prince to rebel." Then, expose the crown prince again, so that you can destroy the East Palace with my hand. You say, is there any truth to that?"

Li Shimin immediately said: "Erchen thinks that he must be a person from the East Palace, and he wants to harm Erchen to make up such lies to deceive his father." The prince wanted to rebel and sent a large number of ordnance to Yang Wengan in Gyeongju, presumably the person he chose to act must be his confidant, and even if his son had the heart, he was afraid that it would be difficult to buy it. When the incident occurred in the east window, he poured dirty water on his sons, and he must have been prepared by the East Palace after the rebellion was revealed, the purpose was to let the father and emperor divert his attention, so as to lightly drop the prince and let the East Palace be preserved. ”

In the end, it is a generation of great people, and his brain is lively, and he can understand the reason for this if he thinks about it.

"What you said is also very reasonable, but what kind of person are you King Qin? Presumably, it is not impossible to buy one or two of the prince's henchmen. Li Yuan is not partial, he feels that Li Jiancheng was really victimized by Li Shimin. It's just that based on his understanding of Li Shimin, he does have the ability to buy the henchmen of the prince of the East Palace.

"Wronged! Father, I really haven't done it, and I really can't do it. Li Shimin repeatedly emphasized his innocence.

Li Yuan said: "I'm tired, you and your eldest brother should stay in the palace first!"

Damn! Li Jiancheng is plotting rebellion, why are you arresting me! Countless grievances came to Li Shimin's heart.

As the saying goes, how much sorrow can you have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Today's Li Shimin is afraid that compared with the Southern Tang Dynasty queen who was imprisoned in the country, the degree of grievance and unwillingness is not far behind. Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was so bad that he couldn't live, but Li Shimin was really innocent.

"The retainers obeyed." Li Shimin was always unwilling, and he didn't dare to say it.

Chang'an was in chaos all of a sudden, and the ministers of the major dynasties and central government wandered around one after another, visiting the door to communicate information.

Pei Lin and Xiao Yu were even more idle, and the ministers who came to visit almost knocked the door down.

Pei Lin had no choice but to go to the palace in person, dealing with the minister's annoyance was one reason, and the other more important reason was naturally to inquire about the news, and he really wanted to know what Li Yuan thought.

At the gate of the palace, Xiao Yu had just arrived half a step.

When Pei Lin saw Xiao Yu, the two looked at each other, and suddenly had a feeling of sympathy in the center, which was so weird.

"If this matter can't be properly resolved, I'm afraid Datang will be uneasy from now on." Pei Lin said this from the heart.

"Don't worry, it's not good to say, don't we still have King Jin! Don't forget, no matter what I say, I am also the king of Jin, and you, Lord Pei, are also the mentor of the king of Jin in name. As the saying goes, the upper is the emperor's teacher, the middle is the emperor's friend, and the lower is the emperor's minister, if this matter drags the East Palace and the King of Qin into the mud pit at the same time, and waits for the King of Jin to come first, you can be regarded as going further. Xiao Yu didn't know what to do, and said to Pei Lian.

Pei Lian's face changed suddenly, and he looked around in a panic, but fortunately there was no one else around.

"Are you crazy? What will happen to me if this comes out of you?" Pei Lin said angrily.

Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "Don't worry, isn't this just you and me?" Besides, I'm not crazy yet, how could I not know that I can't let the emperor depose my two sons. But as the so-called precautions, I just communicated with Master Pei in advance, in case the future is as I said, you and I will have to get involved sooner or later. ”

Pei Lin said: "If King Jin has that ability, I don't mind pushing him, but Lord Xiao, I don't understand one thing, please give me advice."

"Master Pei, please speak." Xiao Yu said politely.

"What kind of benefits did King Jin promise you to make you so dedicated." Pei Lin was really curious.

Xiao Yu said: "I really don't lie to you, the King of Jin has never contacted me since he arrived in Hebei, but there must be a heavy gift every festival."

"I have it too!" Pei Lin hurriedly said.

Xiao Yu said again: "Gifts are not the point. Presumably, Master Pei is also aware of the current situation, and the prince and the king of Qin are incompatible. The ending must be endless, but no matter who kills whom, in the end, the most proud is the King of Jin who is far away in Hebei. More importantly, we are the ministers of His Majesty, and although we have occasional contacts, we have never belonged to either the crown prince or the king of Qin. No matter which of them ascends the throne, it won't be a good thing for either of us, you don't think that the courtiers in the East Palace and the Qin Palace's mansion will let us two old guys stay in our current position, right? Think about it this way..."

Xiao Yu didn't say the rest of the words, even if he didn't say it, Pei Lin was already able to comprehend it.

After Pei Lin and Xiao Yu entered the hall.

Li Yuan didn't wait for them to speak, and asked first, "What are you saying about today's affairs?"

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Lian, that means you pimped the emperor, your relationship is not ordinary, you go up to us first to try the firepower.

I'll go first, Pei Lin is helpless.

"Your Majesty, let's make a big deal small for today's plan!"

"It's going to be a rebellion, how can you make a big thing a small one?" Li Yuan shouted, shocking Pei Lonely.

Xiao Yu said: "This matter depends on how the emperor defines it, if it is dealt with according to the theory of rebellion, it is natural that it cannot be a big thing." But if it is not strictly dealt with by His Majesty, it will not be over. ”

"Tell me more." Li Yuan said.

"Just put the blame on the courtiers of the East Palace, exile a few people at will, and wash away the prince's accusations of rebellion. As for King Qin's side, after all, there is no real evidence, and it is enough to teach a few words at will. In this way, the position of the crown prince can be preserved, and the turmoil can be calmed. Presumably after this incident, the prince learned a lesson and did not dare to commit it again. Xiao Yu said.

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "The problem is solved, but the prince and the king of Qin are becoming more and more bastards, and what they do is becoming less and less inattentive to me. Dealing with this matter lightly will be counterproductive, and it will only make them think that my mercy is an indulgence, and they may act even more unscrupulously in the future. ”

Pei Lin wondered, when did the emperor change his temperament, didn't it all turn big things into small things before!

Xiao Yu is also strange!

The two who have always claimed to know the emperor best don't know what to do.

Li Yuan was angry, and he was confused by anger for a while.

After a while, Li Yuan said calmly: "Forget it, spare the two of them again!"

Is that right! This is the emperor I know. Pei Lin and Xiao Yu said secretly.

The matter is about to be resolved, and who knows that something even worse will come.

After Li Yuan heard this, he almost pumped his anger.

In the end, the prince and the king of Qin, who had not yet left the palace, were recalled.

Li Jiancheng said to Li Shimin: "What happened to you again?"

"Nonsense, why don't you say it's you who provoked it." If Li Shimin hadn't spoken so impulsively in the past, he wouldn't have been so direct. It's been different lately, I'm going to be angry, how can I not rush.

What kind of variables make Li Yuan so hot!
