Chapter 158: Old treacherous and cunning
When Liu Wenjing saw Li Shimin asking about Pei Lian's situation, he gave Li Shimin a detailed introduction to his situation.
------
Pei Lin lost his father at an early age, was raised by his brother, and read some books since he was a child. Because of his ability to read and hyphenation, he became the chief bookkeeper of Puzhou at the age of fourteen. As the chief's personal officer, he is handsome, understanding, and very pleasing to the chief
After Yang Jian usurped Zhou Lisui, Pei Lian raised filial piety and was awarded an eight-grade left guard by the imperial court, and later served as a servant of the imperial history and a driver undertaker.
When Li Yuan was a guard lieutenant Shaoqing, he had a good relationship with Pei Lian, and when he went to Taiyuan as a consolation ambassador, Pei Lian served as a driver in Jinyang Palace.
Li Yuan had an old friend with Pei Lian, so he appointed him as the palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace.
------
The palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace is essentially just a seventh-grade official.
If it is placed in Chang'an and Luoyang, the official of the seventh grade can be said to be a small sesame official.
But in Jinyang City, the official of Zhengqipin is a figure with a head and a face.
------
Among the officials in Jinyang, Li Yuan is from the third grade.
Zheng Sipin Wu Benlang will be Wang Wei.
From the fourth rank of Wu Yalang will be Gao Junya.
The officials of the fifth grade have Ying Yanglang and Jiang Baoyi.
From the five rank officials have Eagle Yang Vice Lang General.
There are one knight and one infantry lieutenant, one Sima, one Si Bing, and one Si Cang.
Pei Lian, the palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace, Liu Wenjing of Jinyang County, Yin Kaishan of Shiai County, and Gao Bin Lian of Longshan County are all positive seven products.
------
Pei Lin didn't have much ability, and he didn't have a foundation in his family, so he relied on flattery, and started his family.
This kind of person is very good at being an official, and when he sees a nod that is bigger than his own official, he is very good at pleasing the chief; When he saw a commanding man with a lower status than himself, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't even look at it.
Pei Lin is actually a traitor, he has a purpose in everything he does, and he has to consider whether he can benefit from it.
------
Pei Lin is four years younger than Li Yuan, and he is also in his twilight years.
As a seven-rank official, Pei Lin has no infatuation to obtain the supreme position in the world, and what he wants in his heart is to be able to enjoy life in his lifetime and save more money for his children and grandchildren. All he wants in his heart is to make more oil and water in office.
Pei Lin accompanied Li Yuan to eat, drink and have fun all day long, not just to please Li Yuan. He wanted to gain benefits from Li Yuan by flattering him.
------
Li Yuan, as the one who holds the promotion of officials from the five counties and the power of life and death, can decide Pei Lian's future and fate at any time.
The palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace is a fat poor, and the resources that can be called upon are very large.
But Li Yuan, as a catcher, if his sleeves are clear, no matter how much oil and water the palace eunuch does, Pei Lin can only look at his greed, and he doesn't dare to touch it.
If Pei Lin wants to make profits from Jinyang Palace, he must first feed Li Yuan, for Pei Lian, this is called convenient for others, and it is already convenient.
He waited for Li Yuan well, and the two of them became grasshoppers tied to a rope, and no one could run away if something happened.
------
For ordinary officials, being able to tie up with the son of a captor is unwanted.
But Pei Lin is cunning and cunning, but he doesn't think so.
Pei Lin only shirked repeatedly and did not see Li Shimin, he had his own considerations.
Now his relationship with Li Yuan is even closer than the relationship between Li Yuan and his sons.
Li Yuan's sons can't say anything to Li Yuan, he can say. Therefore, he doesn't have to beg Li Shimin to help him say good things, he can talk to Li Yuan directly if there is something.
------
Pei Lin believes that his relationship with Li Shimin is not good for him, but just an additional way to spend money.
How many Lang Jun in the Gonghou House are not gentlemen? All of them are Hades who spend money.
An age less than twenty years old, Erlang Jun of the Tang State Mansion, what will happen to him? It's definitely eating, drinking, and having fun.
Pei Lin is reluctant to offer Li Yuan, the uncle, and then Li Shimin, the young master.
------
He is not afraid of offending Li Shimin, he is not afraid of Li Shimin suing him in front of Li Yuan, Li Shimin speaking in front of Li Yuan does not necessarily have the weight of Pei Lian's words.
Besides, Li Yuan's appointment as an envoy was only a temporary appointment, and Li Yuan might have to return to Beijing one day. At that time, he may not see Li Yuan again in this life, and as for Li Yuan's son Li Shimin, it is estimated that there will be no more opportunities to meet in the future.
Pei Lin believes that there is no need for him to go to great lengths to please Li Shimin, who is of no use to himself.
------
Liu Wenjing could understand Pei Lian's thoughts, but it was inconvenient for him to say to Li Shimin that if he told the truth, if he annoyed Li Shimin and went to Pei Lin to settle accounts, it would be a big deal.
Li Shimin didn't want to worry about Pei Lian, because he didn't want to get close to him, he was only thinking about how to get closer to Pei Lian now.
------
After listening to Liu Wenjing's introduction to Pei Lian, Li Shimin had a general understanding of Pei Lian.
Li Shimin thought in his heart that if he wanted such a person to be willing to associate with him, he must make him feel that he could get benefits from himself.
He thought of the technique of "flying hoop" in "Guiguzi".
In the technique of "flying hoop", it is said, "The words of the hook clamp are flying and clamping." It is used or called wealth, qiwei, pearl and jade, bibi, and caiyi."
The meaning of "Guiguzi" is that if you want to make people tempted, you must let him see the benefits and benefits. Then do what he pleases, and control him.
------
Li Shimin asked Liu Wenjing, "What hobbies does Pei Lin have?"
Liu Wenjing couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Erlangjun wants to ask Pei Lian's hobbies, that's too much."
"Eat, drink and have fun, he is good at everything, and he will use his ability to make his boss happy."
Li Shimin was not very satisfied with Liu Wenjing's answer, and asked further,
"Liu County Order, what you said is too broad, I want to ask him what is the best? The kind that puts aside other hobbies for the sake of this hobby."
------
Liu Wenjing pondered while moving his fingers and said,
"Female, drinking, gambling, hunting, ......"
"Well...... choose one of the four that he likes best."
He slapped his leg, looked at Li Shimin, and said with great certainty,
"It's gambling, and what he likes the most is gambling."
"Pei Lin is a gambling addict, and he gambles tirelessly all night."
------
From the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, a gambling method called "樗蒲" was popular, just like the modern game of land combat flying chess.
It is said that this gambling game is extremely addictive to play.
At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Uncle Liu Jing's "Alien Garden" recorded such a strange event.
It is about someone riding a horse and encountering two old men playing with the cattail, so they got off the horse to watch. In the process of watching, I forgot everything, and I don't know how much time has passed. When the man saw that the game was over, he found that the whip had rotted and that the horse he was riding had become a dry bone. When I returned home, I found that my relatives had all died.
It can be seen how addictive it is to play this gambling game.
------
Pei Lin is a hobby of "Pu" gambling, never tired of it, and is a master of playing "Pupu", basically every bet must win.
Li Shimin heard that Pei Lin was addicted to playing "Pu", so he said to Liu Wenjing, "We will lure him to play "Pu", not afraid that he will not come. You will meet him tomorrow, and I will arrange for this."
In the end, Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing summed up the methods and strategies to lure Pei Lian, and after Liu Wenjing understood everything, he decided to see Pei Lin on the second day.
------
Gao Binlian, the commander of Longshan County, is also a master of playing "Pu".
Recently, under the recommendation of Liu Wenjing, the commander of Jinyang County, Yin Kaishan of Shiai County and Gao Binlian of Longshan County often went to the courtyard where the eldest grandson Shunde lived to feast and have fun.
Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, eldest grandson Shunde and Li Shimin are not good at "calamus", Gao Bin Lian saw that no one played "calamus" with him, and he often felt itchy.
------
Now, when Li Shimin heard that Pei Lin was also doing this, he thought of letting Gao Binlian and Pei Lin gamble.
One day, Li Shimin said to Gao Bin, "I heard that Pei Lin is also fun with "Pu", but I'm afraid he won't want to play with you."
Gao Binlian's face showed pride, and he boasted, "In Jinyang City, there are very few who can defeat me, and Pei Lin is also a defeated general under me."
Li Shimin laughed and said, "This is called high and low, and the height is cold. If you want someone to play with you, you have to give them a chance to win."
------
Gao Bin Lian has a deep understanding, "Gambling is all about winning, who wants to give money to others?"
Li Shimin said, "Although I am not good at playing "Oak Pu", I like to watch others play, otherwise, I will pay for you to play with him."
Gao Binlian was overjoyed, "There is such a good thing? Erlang-kun is really willing to pay?"
Li Shimin said seriously, "How can I tell a lie? You lose him twice and lure him in. And then help me win the money back slowly."
"In this way, you have someone to play, and I also have the play of "Oak" to watch. But you can't always lose to him, I don't have that much money for you to play."
Gao Binlian assured Li Shimin, "If I lose money, I will definitely win it back, and I will definitely let you have a good show."
------
Here, Li Shimin and Gao Binlian said yes, and Liu Wenjing went to the Jinyang Palace Supervision Office to find Pei Lian.
On this day, Li Yuan didn't come to Pei Lian, he was idle and had nothing to do, when he saw Liu Wenjing coming, the two of them sat down after seeing the cold and noisy.
Liu Wenjing asked Pei Lin strangely, "Why didn't Tang Guogong come to you today?"
Pei Lin said, "Today, Tang Xian invited Tang Guogong to go hunting."
"Brother Wen Jing doesn't know, it's not easy to have fun with Tang Guogong every day, and I also want to take the opportunity to relax."
------
Liu Wenjing seemed to suddenly remember something,
"A few days ago, I heard Gao Binlian boast that no one could win him when he played "Zhu Pu" in Jinyang City."
"I wasn't embarrassed to talk about him. If you want to talk about playing "Pu", where can he compare to Brother Pei?"
Pei Lian's eyes lit up when he heard the word "樗蒲".
"I'm fine today, so why don't I ask him over for a while?"
Liu Wenjing shook her head,
"No, it's a little inconvenient in the prison office, and I don't know if Gao Binlian is willing to play with you."
Pei Lin seemed to be a little impatient, "The prison office can't do it, you can find another place." How can anyone who doesn't want to play with others when he plays "Oak Pu"?"
------
Liu Wenjing pretended not to be too enthusiastic, "I'll try to contact Gao Binlian again. If he wants to play, let him find a place. I'll call you again when we're connected."
Pei Lin urged Liu Wenjing, "Then you can go quickly, when Tang Guogong comes back in two days, I won't have time."
