Outside the Taixing Palace, countless forbidden troops wearing black armor gathered!

These forbidden soldiers, with terrifying masks on their faces, had a scimitar and a sharp sword pinned to their waists, and a short crossbow on their backs, and twenty-four crossbow arrows in their bags, as well as a cuffed crossbow hidden in their cuffs......

Suffice it to say, these guys are armed to the teeth!

Manifest their bodies, they are the impermanence of the night, hide their bodies, and they become one with the night!

These guys are the mysterious troops in the mouths of 'Lao Li' and 'Lao Sun', and they are also the powerful troops that Li Shimin manages the dark side!

This army, Li Shimin called it the 'Xuanjia Army'!

The troops gathered, and the leader glanced at everyone, but he didn't speak, just used gestures to inform everyone of the plan of action!

Knowing the plan of action, everyone has no doubts!

With a 'spread out' gesture, the troops that had just been assembled disappeared as if they had never appeared!

At this moment, a eunuch stepped in a hurry, and came to the outside of the Taixing Palace!

"Your Majesty, the dragon driver is ready!"

"Squeak!"

The door of the hall was slowly opened, and Li Shimin walked out of it, looked up and looked around, and nodded!

It's the end of the day!

It's cold midwinter again!

I'm afraid there aren't many people in Chang'an City who haven't slept yet!

However, Li Shimin has important things!

I just dismissed Pei Lin this morning, but I never thought I would get the news in the evening!

"Bang ......"

In the silent winter night, the sound of the carriage squeezing the bluestone slab is particularly loud!

Although they woke up the residents on both sides of the street, these people did not get up to investigate!

After all, on such a cold day, who would want to get up and get frozen?

Hey!

Li Shimin's frame came outside Pei's house!

The officer who rushed the car hurriedly went to knock on the door!

There was another cacophony of sounds, and an old man's voice came from inside!

opened the door a small slit, and the two talked, and the old man's expression suddenly became nervous, but without Pei Lian's order, he didn't dare to open all the doors!

I had to run respectfully to the carriage, bend down and bow, and ask to go to the briefing before opening the door!

After getting Li Shimin's permission, the old man hurriedly ran towards the house!

After about a stick of incense, the entire Pei Mansion became extremely noisy!

Under the leadership of Pei Lian, hundreds of people from Pei's Mansion all came to the outside of the mansion, knelt down in the cold snow, kowtowed to Li Shimin on the carriage, and asked for guilt!

"Pei Lian, I'm only looking for you! Let the others go down and sleep peacefully! ”

There was an icy sound from the carriage!

Pei Lin didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly retreated from the people around him, letting them go down to sleep peacefully, even the old man who was guarding the door was retreated by Pei Lian!

When everyone Xi Suosuo left, Li Shimin opened the curtain of the frame, looked around with cold eyes, and said: "It's freezing outside, you come to the carriage, I have something to ask you!" ”

"Yes!" Pei Lin hurriedly ran to the carriage, and with the support of the coachman, he entered the carriage.

"Your Majesty, ...... The grass people don't know what happened when His Majesty visited late at night? The corners of Pei Lian's mouth twitched, "Your Majesty has something, and a single order can summon the grass people, why bother?" ”

"You leave for a while, too!" Li Shimin didn't answer in a hurry, but just said coldly!

"Yes!"

The coachman hurriedly answered, then put down his whip and reins, and strode aside!

In a short time, on the empty street, a carriage stopped in the middle of the snow!

The cold wind is howling, and it seems to be mixed with some falling snowflakes!

The crescent moon in the sky is like a willow leaf, but it also emits a miserable white light!

It's just that this little light only adds a little paleness to the earth!

In the carriage, Pei Lin sat next to Li Shimin!

"Uncle Pei, we've known each other for decades, right?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and although a smile appeared on his face, it was extremely cold, "In the past few decades, you have done your best for the Li family, and I removed you from the post of prime minister this morning, do you blame me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare!" The corners of Pei Lian's mouth twitched, "The grass people and the Emperor Taishang have long agreed that if the uprising fails, the two of us will be in the mountains, forests and fields, and we will make a living from farming!" Your Majesty's move must have Your Majesty's reasoning, how dare I disobey it? ”

"You must know that, but I want to tell you myself!" Li Shimin's eyes slowly opened, "This time the Turks sent me a big gift, and this big gift is a letter from an official who secretly communicates with the Turks!" Among them, hundreds of people are implicated! Almost half of the court officials of the Tang Dynasty are among them! I know why! ”

"This ......" Pei Lian's expression suddenly became extremely nervous, "Your Majesty, the grass people have never secretly communicated with the Turks, if there is, Your Majesty can kill the entire grass people!" ”

"I know you didn't, but I know you didn't have you, but I still punished you, do you know why?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly!

"Grass People...... Stupid, I don't know! The corners of Pei Lian's mouth twitched, and his eyes trembled, as if he had suffered a great grievance, "Since the grass people are not guilty, why should they suffer such punishment?" I hope Your Majesty will make it clear! ”

"It's very simple, because you are the head of the hundred officials, and most of the hundred officials are secretly Turkic, and you don't know it, this is your dereliction of duty!" Li Shimin's eyes showed a gleam, and his face trembled, "Uncle Pei, I have known you for decades, if it weren't for this relationship, with your ability, how could you sit in the position of prime minister?" ”

Hearing these cold words, the corners of Pei Lian's mouth twitched, although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only swallow his anger, and he couldn't refute the man in front of him!

"Uncle Pei, now that Datang is in ruins, I hope that those who are in the official positions of the court are all talented people, and only in this way can Datang get better and better!" Li Shimin sighed deeply, "The reason why I removed you is also one of the reasons, and more importantly, I can't punish everyone, as for the other guys, I must deter them, so I removed you from the position of prime minister!" ”

"This ......" Pei Lin sighed again, the muscles on his face twitched, "Alas, the grass people know, Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to dedicate themselves!" Your Majesty came here late at night, just to reassure the grass people? ”

"That's just one thing, there's one more thing I do!" Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly, and a trace of murderous intent appeared on his face, "Eleven years ago, did Uncle Pei do something?" ”

"Eleven years ago?" Pei Lian's pupils dilated, as if he was caught in a memory, and shook his head, "The grass people don't know what happened to Your Majesty?" Eleven years ago, when the world was still in turmoil, there were many things that the grass people did! If you tell Your Majesty one by one, I'm afraid that even if you talk for three days and three nights, you may not be able to finish the conversation! ”

"That's too, then I'll give you a hint!" Li Shimin's cheek muscles trembled, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he stared at Pei Lin like an eagle, "Did you take away a baby child without permission?" ”
