The eyes in the Daming Palace were full of worried looks. Quan Deyu, who had just brushed his sleeves away, was already sitting in the corner of the Zichen Hall with a pale face. The queen was restless, and the king of Tan and the king of Wei were turning around. Pei Yan, Wu Yuanheng, Pei Du, Li Jiang, Cheng Yi, Fan Xichao, Li Yuan, Zhang Hongjing, Han Yu, Lu Yuanying, Yang Yuling and others had deep and cold faces. The eyes were full of people, but in the hall, you could hear even a needle falling on the ground.

The imperial physician finally turned out of it, and everyone in the hall was hula, and everyone in the hall surrounded him. Without waiting for anyone to ask, the imperial doctor said:

"It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty is just overworked and stimulated, so he fainted for a while. Now I've woken up. ”

The hall was full of relieved voices, and even Quan Deyu's face improved slightly. The queen was about to go to the apse, and everyone wanted to follow, but was stopped by the imperial doctor:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty needs to recuperate, just let the queen in, please go back to the government office for the time being."

Now that Li Yu has an edict, it is difficult for the ministers to say anything. Pei Yan, Wu Yuanheng, Pei Du, and Li Jiang took the lead and led everyone to retreat outside the hall. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Quan Deyu sitting there like a mournful examiner, Pei Yan sighed and said:

"Lord Quan, Your Majesty is no longer in the way, you better go back to the house first, and come back tomorrow to ask for sin."

Quan Deyu still sat in place in a daze, and Pei Yan and the others ignored it and went on their own.

After returning to the political hall, everyone had no intention of working, but Pei Du was very calm, and he approved the official document and wrote like a dragon and a snake. According to the rules, the prime ministers all work separately. When Pei Du was reviewing the official documents, Li Jiang lifted the curtain and walked in, Pei Du just didn't see it, he still carried the pen like flying, Li Jiang coughed, Pei Du looked up and said:

"Who should I be, it turns out that Li Xianggong is here. Please wait until I have dealt with the official documents at hand before I speak to Lee Sang-gong. ”

Li Jiang also stood aside, and when Pei Du put down the official document in hand, he smiled and said:

"Pei Xianggong is really good-natured, I'm restless, I don't know how you can still do official business?"

Pei Du looked up and said:

Pei is also worried about His Majesty, and it is precisely because of this that he has to do a good job in political affairs. At present, the imperial court is using troops in the west, let's deal with it faster, the chances of winning will be greater, and Your Majesty will worry less about it and rest more, you know, Your Majesty is famous for being diligent in government, and after a few days to ease your spirits, ask about government affairs, if the backlog comes down, what will Li Xianggong think when he sees His Majesty? ”

Li Jiang, like Pei Du, came out of Li Xu's side, so he naturally knew Li Xu's temper. However, he said this just to find an excuse, and seeing that Pei Du still didn't understand, he couldn't help but be anxious, and lowered his voice and said:

"Pei Xianggong, why don't you understand? Your Majesty had suffered a stroke, but today it is a sudden fainting, and Your Majesty's old illness has relapsed, and the prince is not around······"

Pei Du was sitting cross-legged on the kang, but when he heard Li Jiang say this, he jumped up, jumped down and walked to the door, opened the curtain and looked, and saw that his subordinate officials were working in peace, and went out for a turn before he came back and said:

"Li Xianggong, the matter is big, don't talk lightly."

Li Jiang said:

"But ······"

Pei Du waved his hand and said:

"Li Xianggong, do you see that the ruling government and Wu Xianggong are worried about these things? They haven't come to our meeting until now, which shows that they all know about it. Let's not talk about it, if necessary, the queen will say it. Besides, even if we don't mention it, doesn't the emperor know? If the situation is really serious, I am afraid that the messenger has already left the Mingde Gate by this time. At the current moment, when Cheng Yi draws up the charter, I am afraid that there will be a big turmoil, as long as you and I are serious, do what should be done well, and keep the center from chaos, it will be a great achievement. ”

If Pei Yan is still a little worried about the family's selfishness, then Pei Du is almost completely loyal to Li Yu in his heart. This faithfulness is produced for nothing else but four words:

The grace of knowing the encounter.

Pei Du has a peculiar appearance, when he was young, he asked Master Nhat Hing to tell his fortune, and Master Nhat Hing said to Pei Du:

"Your eyes are floating, your eyes are longitudinal, and you must not starve to death."

said that he had done something immoral in his previous life, and he had a skin that was about to starve to death, so don't talk about fame or anything. After telling the fortune, Pei Du picked up a jade belt, this child is a solid person, so he waited for the master to return the jade belt to the person. As a result, after more than a month, I met Master Nhat Hing again, and Master Nhat Hing said in surprise:

"You will definitely be ranked among the third princes in the future."

After more than a month, there was such a big discrepancy in the judgment, Pei Du asked the reason, and the Zen master said:

"You have starved to death, but now your heart is good."

Later generations deduced a "Jade Belt Story" from this. Master Nhat Hanh said so. , but Pei Du's fate doesn't seem to have changed much. At the age of twenty-five, Pei Du was admitted to the Jinshi, but until he was forty-two years old, Pei Du was only a county lieutenant. It was Li Yu who promoted him to Chang'an and did the supervision of the imperial history, and it was Li Yu who gave Pei Du trust and gave Pei Du the stage, and in just seven years, Pei Du, who had been unwilling for the previous seventeen years, has been able to do the current military department Shangshu Tongping Zhangshi and was named the Duke of Jin. In fact, Pei Du's talent is excellent, what he lacks is only opportunity, although he was born in the Pei family in Hedong, but he is a side branch, and he has not received strong support from the family in his career, unlike Pei Yan, who is young and famous. Confucius said that if a person reaches the age of forty and has not achieved anything, there is nothing to be afraid of, and Li Yu let Pei Du's career start at the age of forty-two, who is he not grateful to Li Yu for?

As Li Chen's confidant, the impact of Li Chen's new policy on Pei Du was completely predictable. But he still chose to support Li Yu. At such a time, he was not surprised and put state affairs first, which couldn't help but make Li Jiang a little ashamed. Heart:

"Although I think I am smarter than Pei Zhongli, when it comes to self-cultivation and kung fu, I am still not as good as him after all."
