Ling Jing did not give up the persuasion, he went to find Empress Cao.

This time to rescue Zheng Guo, Empress Cao went out with the army and was always by Dou Jiande's side.

Ling Jing told Empress Cao what had happened, and said, "You are a heroine, more strategic than ordinary generals, you should know very well that at this moment, my strategy is the safest."

"However, the lord didn't know who he had listened to, and suddenly changed his mind, and Ling had no choice but to ask the queen to come out and persuade the lord."

Empress Cao's expression was solemn: "Sir is a man of great wisdom, your talent is obvious to all, you can rest assured, I will definitely persuade the Lord to do it according to your plan." ”

"Then there will be Queen Lao."

So, Empress Cao found Dou Jiande, took all the servants, and said to him: "Lord, everything Ling Jing said is for the sake of our Xia Kingdom, and the strategy he said is indeed the most suitable strategy at present.

"Please think twice and adopt Ling Jing's strategy."

Dou Jiande frowned, and said with a straight face: "Ling Jing is just a scholar, he can only talk on paper, he doesn't know how to fight, how can he believe his words?" ”

Empress Cao retorted unhurriedly: "The Tang army's defense in Fukou is not strong, if you follow the road of Fukou, take advantage of the weakness. Then speed up and seize the land in the north of the mountain.

"Our dynasty has always maintained friendship with the Turks, and at this time, we can use the power of the Turks to outflank Guanzhong to the west, and then the Tang court will inevitably recall the elite army to defend its territory, and the danger of Luoyang will be lifted.

"Now that the army has been stagnant for a long time, it has consumed its own forces in vain, not to mention, I am afraid that the Lord's wish will not be fulfilled.

"Therefore, we can no longer be obsessed with capturing the Tiger Pass, but should adopt Ling Jing's strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao."

After saying this, Empress Cao looked at Dou Jiande's eyes confidently, she thought that Dou Jiande would figure it out.

But after a period of silence, Dou Jiande said indifferently: "The ancient adage says that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can a woman talk about military and political affairs?"

"This is the first time in you, and I forgive you for your mistakes."

"The Lord ......"

Empress Cao wanted to persuade again, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Dou Jiande.

"King Zheng's life is on the horizon, and he can't delay for a moment. Don't believe or stand, Lone has always kept his promise, since he promised him, he must save him. ”

In the end, Dou Jiande said majestically: "My mind has been decided, there is no need to say more, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law." ”

Empress Cao walked out of the big tent in disbelief, and when she saw Ling Jing not far away, she shook her head.

Seeing her movements, Ling Jing raised his hand to cover his eyes, his face full of disappointment.

On the second day, Dou Jiande led the whole army and pressed towards the Tiger Prison Pass with great momentum.

But Li Shimin did not panic, and only ordered everyone: do not move.

......

Changan.

Qian Jiulong presented the recital with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is a secret music sent by Bingzhou." ”

"Got the matter clear?" Li Yuan asked as he picked up the secret music.

Qian Jiulong replied respectfully: "The investigation is clear, but this secret recital was brought back by Ambassador Tang's envoys, Your Majesty, you better take a look at the secret recital first." ”

Tang Jian's secret playing?

Li Yuan immediately paid attention to it, and saw that the secret music was written: "...... A demon monk once told Li Zhongwen that he had a five-colored light, which was possessed by a dragon, and was guarded by a golden dog, so he was the true son of heaven......

"Li Zhongwen listened to what the demon monk said, built a dragon tour mansion in Fenzhou, and married a woman surnamed Tao to respond to the 'Song of Peach and Plum'......

"During his tenure, he was corrupt and perverted the law, amassed wealth everywhere, flattered the Chuluo Khan, and submitted to the Eastern Turks. Therefore, the Khan of Chuluo promised Li Zhongwen to assist him in conquering the land of Hebei and named him the Khan of the South......

"Chuluo Khan died of illness at the end of last year, and now the Eastern Turks are taken over by his younger brother Ashina Dubi, called Jieli Khan......"

After watching the secret recital, Li Yuan's face turned pale, and he ordered someone to summon Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda.

Then he asked Qian Jiulong: "What is the result of the investigation of Pei Lian's matter?" ”

Qian Jiulong presented a box and said, "Your Majesty, these are the things that the minister has found in the past few months, you can take a look first." ”

After a while, Li Yuan read the evidence, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Pei Lin didn't lie, he just coveted beauty and occupied Yang Guang's woman privately, not to help Yang Guang raise his son." ”

When the matter was revealed, Li Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he instructed Qian Jiulong: "You and Yue Yu go to the prison and take Pei Lin into the palace." ”

"Yes."

Qian Jiulong and Yue Yu immediately left the palace.

After Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda came to the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan showed them Tang Jian's secret recital.

"Tang Jian has already mastered some of the evidence, and you will interrogate Li Zhongwen again."

After Li Zhongwen returned to the court, he was locked up by Li Yuan.

The two men ordered: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Wait."

When they turned around to leave, Li Yuan stopped them: "By the way, Li Zhongwen's case, Pei Lin will interrogate with you later." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda were shocked: Pei Lin is okay?

However, since the emperor said so, then Pei Lin must be innocent.

The two exchanged glances and silently retreated.

Qian Jiulong and Yue Yu handed over the new evidence to the chief of the three divisions and conveyed the emperor's will.

After the three chief officers checked the evidence, they released Pei Lin and then prepared to close the case.

Pei Lin washed up briefly, changed into clean clothes and went to see Li Yuan.

"Your Majesty......" Pei Lin knelt down as soon as he spoke, and he choked up: "The minister's personal virtue is at a loss, and he is ashamed of His Majesty, but the minister's loyalty to you and Datang cannot be extinguished......

"My faithfulness is evident in heaven and earth, and you must trust your ......"

Li Yuan stepped forward quickly, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and helped him up: "Eunuch Pei, get up quickly." ”

Pei Lin stood up and took two steps back, his face flattered: "Your Majesty." ”

"Alas......"

Li Yuan suddenly sighed and said, "The reason why I was able to capture Guanzhong back then was because of your help, how could you have two hearts?"

"I handed you over to Yousi for review, to prove your innocence to the people of the world, not that I don't believe you."

Hearing this, two lines of tears flowed out of Pei Lian's eyes: "Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, and the minister is very grateful, and he will be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and keep himself clean." ”

Li Yuan comforted Pei Lian, and then ordered him to try Li Zhongwen's case with Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu.

When everyone learned that Pei Lin was acquitted and sent back to the house by Qian Jiulong and Yue Yu, the emperor's most trusted people, and received a lot of rewards, and participated in the review of Li Zhongwen's case after he was released from prison, everyone was very shocked.

Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh: It's really a favored minister......

However, after Pei Lin returned to the Wei Mansion, he was greeted not by joy, but by crying and grabbing the ground...... The Duchess of Wei Guo made a fuss with Pei Lian.

“...... I was guarding outside the gate of the Duke of Wei early this morning, and I saw Pei Fu's face injured, and his walking posture was not right, and his embarrassed appearance was clearly beaten by his wife......"

Daquan told Wang Yu about the "husband and wife war" vividly, and did not hide his schadenfreude.

"Well, yes, it's exciting." Wang Yu nodded with a smile and continued: "Such a wonderful story can't be enjoyed by me alone, I have to share it with the big guys." ”

"You go to Shiwen Society and ask them to compile this paragraph into the serialized story, and they are not allowed to reveal their real names and official names."

Although it is a written script, it does not reveal the real name of the person, official name, etc., but the smart person knows who it is at a glance.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Before the words fell, Daquan had disappeared into the courtyard like a smoke, and his excited voice came from the wind: "There is a new story to listen to tomorrow......"
