On the dragon bed, Li Yuan leaned on Concubine Yin, his expression was gray, in the end, he was an elderly person, after great joy and sorrow, he was the most likely to hurt his body, Li Xin fled, like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, hit Li Yuan, making Li Yuan faint on the ground all of a sudden, fortunately Pei Lin was by his side, and quickly called the imperial doctor to come, so as not to let Li Yuan return to the west.

"Hey! Unexpectedly, he let Li Xin, a thief, escape. Li Yuan sighed, in front of him, Pei Lin sat there very honestly, and his face couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Your Majesty, since Li Xin can escape with his life, it must be arranged by God, Li Xin should not die here, just wait for the next opportunity." Pei Lin still gently comforted.

"Xuan Zhen doesn't need to persuade me, the prince has already told me all the causes and consequences of the matter, Li Xin arranged things before he set out on the expedition, and then he calmly retreated, the funny thing is that I was actually deceived by him." Li Yuan knocked on the quilt and said with a wry smile.

"The emperor should take care of the dragon's body first." Pei Lin hurriedly said: "The imperial doctor just said that the emperor still needs to recuperate during this time. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Let the prince come back!" No matter what he said this time, he can be regarded as seizing Shandong, which is also a great blessing for our dynasty, and our dynasty has repeatedly suffered deflated at the hands of Li Xin, and this time he pulled out his teeth and took Shandong, all of which are the credit of the prince. Li Yuan finally affirmed Li Jiancheng's achievements.

"It's just how is Shandong good? Please also ask Your Majesty to show me. Pei Lin said with some worry: "Shandong is initially decided, I'm afraid that people are needed to sit in Shandong, after this battle, there are many bandits in Shandong, and people are needed to guard Shandong." ”

"Isn't King Qi there? Let the King of Qi guard Shandong, and Cui Min will be the king of Qi for the long history and act for the affairs of Shandong. He was born in a Shandong family, and he will definitely be able to govern Shandong well. Li Yuan thought for a while and said.

Pei Lin was stunned when he heard this, originally he wanted to recommend Wang Jue, or a clan to sit in Shandong, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to belong to Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Li Yuanji can only be suitable as a general, not a commander, and he cannot govern the place. This man is there, and God knows what will happen!

"Let the King of Qi not interfere in local affairs." Li Yuan still saw that his henchman was worried about something, and said with a smile at the moment: "Now you can rest assured!" ”

"The minister is terrified." Pei Lin hurriedly said.

"Let Erlang withdraw too!" Li Yuan thought of something again and said, "Since Li Xin has returned, there is no need to attack Hedong. Li Jing's soldiers and horses can quickly gather to deal with Erlang, and Erlang's soldiers and horses are not enough. ”

"Yes." Pei Lin responded. He glanced at Li Yuan. Seeing that Li Yuan's face showed a tired look, he hurriedly said: "The minister will do it, and the emperor should rest for a while." ”

"Xuan Zhen, the recent affairs of the DPRK and China, I will work for you." Li Yuan also felt his head groggy for a while, and he didn't excuse himself, letting Pei Lian retreat.

Pei Lin slowly walked out of the palace, remembering Li Yuan's instructions. Shook his head slightly, in his opinion. Whether it is Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, or Cui Mingan, they are not the best candidates to sit in Shandong. The king of Qi was brutal and would not be sympathetic to the people of Shandong, and killing was definitely indispensable, which was not conducive to the stability of Shandong. Cui Mingan was born in a family and is in Shandong. It must be to protect the interests of the Cui family or the family, which will increase the power of the Shandong family, which is also not conducive to the stability of the court.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is really here." Pei Lin turned to look at the palace behind him, and could only sigh silently. He made up his mind at the moment. The Great Zhao Empire needs a new heir to govern, and Li Jiancheng is the best candidate.

The matter of Li Xin's retreat from Dengzhou did not spread, and the thing that spread was that Li Yuanji defeated Li Xin in Dengzhou and captured many generals and soldiers alive, of course, the rumor spread later, that is, Li Xin was killed by Li Yuanji, and some said that after the army was defeated, Li Xin fled to the mountains, or was killed by the generals of his own soldiers, and so on. Anyway, the whole Shandong is under martial law.

Of course, the main messenger of this matter is none other than Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. He did this just to disgust Li Xin, make Li Tang's court turbulent for a few months, and see if he had a chance to fish in troubled waters, of course, there was also a loss for Li Shimin.

The power of rumors is really strong, because of the martial law in the whole territory of Shandong, even with the Jinyi Guard, the action is a lot more troublesome, the real news is very slow, but Cheng Yanjin, who is sitting in Bianzhou, got the news first, and his heart was shaken, and he quickly ordered the book to be passed to Chang'an. He strengthened the defense of Bianzhou, and also ordered Bianzhou Jinyiwei to strengthen the penetration of Shandong, so that Li Xin's accurate information was obtained.

"Elder Ge, I'm afraid I need you to have an idea for the current matter." Wei Yuancheng came to Pei Shiju's house again, Pei Shiju leaned on the chair, his figure was much thinner, in the end, he was old, he had followed Li Xin all these years, and he had worked hard to make Pei Shiju grow older a little faster. Pei Xuanji stood aside respectfully.

"Take the idea, take the idea? Do what you have to do? Could it be that the officials of my Datang are all people who believe rumors? Pei Shiju said with slight dissatisfaction: "The emperor is the son of destiny, how can something happen?" This is just Li Zhao's rumor, you are still a bachelor of Datang, and you don't even see this? ”

Wei Yuancheng smiled bitterly and said, "This matter seems to be true, I'm afraid it may not be groundless!" 60,000 soldiers with 60,000 war horses, and so many baggage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through! ”

"What if it's from the sea?" Pei Shiju glared at Wei Yuancheng dissatisfied, and said: "Don't forget, what kind of place is Dengzhou, where is the sailor camp of the previous dynasty, and there are still hundreds of warships now, can't you escort Your Majesty to escape?" ”

"So that means Your Majesty, you really lost the battle this time?" Wei Yuancheng said in horror.

"Hey! The old man hasn't been to the court for many days, where do you know so much, but it's impossible to say that the emperor was killed. Pei Shiju shook his head and said: "Even if there is a problem with the Dengzhou Sailor and Your Majesty wants to escape, no one will take it." ”

"It's a pity, now the whole territory of Shandong is under martial law." Wei Yuancheng sighed slightly and said, "It is also very difficult for Jinyiwei to deliver the news. Otherwise, we would have gotten the news long ago. If it weren't for a few of us pressing, I'm afraid some people would have made a lot of noise, and some people have even said that the country cannot be left without a king for a day. If there is no news from the emperor, I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress it. ”

"Don't worry, hold on to yourselves." Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "We have to believe in His Majesty the Emperor. These people who want to assist the new monarch are all thinking about glory and wealth, hmph, they may not have other thoughts. ”

"Yes, there is an old man in the court, why not be afraid of these small children." Wei Yuancheng showed a slight look of embarrassment, in fact, this kind of mind is not only for other people, but also for him Wei Yuancheng. It's just that as a scholar of Wude Palace, Wei Yuancheng can't take the lead in expressing it.

"Master Wei, let's go back on an errand! At this time, what the court needs is people like you, if you are not chaotic, the world will not be chaotic. Pei Shiju waved his hand and said.

"Yes, my lord has a good rest." Wei Yuancheng glanced at Pei Shiju and saw that his face was indeed tired, so he retreated. Pei Xuanji personally sent it out.

"Father. I'm afraid that this Lord Wei also has such a thought! Pei Xuanji said in a low voice.

"Everyone wants from the dragon's work, not to mention that in our Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid some people have already begun to clamor to take out the emperor's secret edict." Pei Shiju picked up the crutches on one side, stood up tremblingly, and said: "If something really happens to the emperor, you can assist the new monarch to ascend the throne and get a good fortune, if the emperor is fine, you can also see in advance who His Royal Highness the crown prince is, or stammer, or secretly dismantle the stage." Not only Wei Yuancheng, but also other people? Hehe, how could the emperor be so easy to kill, I'm afraid these people's plans are going to fail. Let's go, prepare the car. ”

"Father, where are we going?" Pei Xuanji said with some surprise.

"Go to Wuying Palace." Pei Shiju said without thinking: "Go and invite the general first, and then go to the Wuying Hall together." The old man can see people's hearts, but he can't understand military affairs, so he has to let the general take action! As long as there are old men and generals in this world, there will be no chaos. ”

"Yes." Pei Xuanji hurriedly responded.

In the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji was teaching Li Chengzong to describe calligraphy, but the eldest grandson Wuji on the side showed a trace of worry on his face, just looking at the unhurried appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, he could only take back the words in his mouth.

"Niangniang is a person who doesn't panic when she is young, and it seems that she has changed a lot today!" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"If I am naturally nothing, it's just that the emperor is in danger of the world, and if something happens, it will be chaos in the world, so I'm just a little worried." The eldest grandson Wujian sighed and said: "Now that the turmoil in the court has risen again, I heard that several imperial historians have begun to write to the Wude Palace, asking to open the secret edict of the Fengxian Palace, and say what in case, the prince will be determined early, and the society will be stabilized." ”

"What does the lady mean?" Eldest Sun Wuji said seriously.

"Until the last moment, no one can move that secret edict." The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "If the emperor has something, he can naturally open it, but what if there is nothing wrong?" Who is the crown prince, the truth will be revealed, will there be any future Chengzong in this day? The emperor was at the height of his spring and autumn season, and he set up a prince, and I am afraid that such a prince will not last. If the above does not establish Chengzong as the crown prince, then Chengzong will be in danger. Therefore, the edict must not be opened at this time. ”

"I'm afraid that you and I can't stop this matter with our strength, after all, those lower-level officials have written to the Wude Palace, and I'm afraid it is possible that there are people inside the Wude Hall who secretly instigated it. There are only two people who can stop this, Pei Shiju and Li Jing. Eldest Sun Wuji said in a low voice. The eldest grandson's eyes lit up and nodded. (To be continued.) )
