Chapter 38: Successful lobbying
"Grandma, I really rely on you from Grandpa Huang."
"You don't look for me, I don't have this ability, I tell you, there is one person who can definitely do it."
"Who? You're talking about Master Pei, right? ”
He didn't have any impression of Pei Lian, he only knew that he and Li Yuan were the best buddies. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have wanted to show Li Yuan that he would kill chickens.
"Exactly. He's going to be chatting with the Emperor. If you ask him to persuade your imperial grandfather, he will definitely agree. ”
That's the way to go. If Pei Lin was a smart person, he would definitely agree.
He is not stupid, and doing a good job in Li Yuan's ideological work can be said to be beneficial to several of them.
It's just that he doesn't dare to promise that he will be convinced.
"Great, Zhang Meiren, I need you to cooperate with me."
"How do you cooperate with you to say it directly, I am willing to do anything for my son."
Zhang Meiren is like a different person, very refreshing.
"Since there are distinguished guests in the palace, you must be hospitalized. At the wine table, you persuade him to drink a few more glasses, and then leave him in the palace for the night, and I will talk to him at night when he wakes up. ”
Zhang Meiren pursed her lips and said, "Okay, this method is good." ”
It was the first time he had seen Pei Lian, he was the same age as Li Yuan, and he was full of bad luck from head to toe.
He first saluted him with the courtesy of a junior, and then invited him to stay and eat.
Pei Lin hurried to the Taiji Palace after getting Li Yuan's information, seeing that Li Tai was affectionate, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and he didn't dare to refuse him, so he had to agree.
At the wine table, Zhang Meiren gave full play to the inducing role of women, Pei Lin and Li Yuan were in a bad mood, and the ingredients of drinking to drown their sorrows were particularly obvious, and they drank unguardedly.
In the end, Zhang Meiren successfully completed the task assigned by him, Pei Lin was drunk, and Li Tai asked Wang Xiaoyang to send him to his bed.
If you want to do great things, you have to pay a price. Although he disliked it the most, he had no choice but to do it.
He gave him a lot of decanting soup.
At about four o'clock in the morning, Pei Lin woke up, and when he opened his eyes and saw a strange place, he sat up from the bed in fright.
"My lord, are you sober?"
Li Tai took a cup of hot tea in his hand and handed it to him.
"King Yidu, where is this? How did I end up here? ”
Li Tai smiled and said: "This is my bedroom in Taiji Palace, the adults have drunk too much and haven't returned home, so they will stay here for one night." It just so happens that Li Tai still has a lot of things to ask you. ”
Pei Lin hurriedly got out of bed in fright, saluted him and said, "King Yidu is really kind-hearted, if you have something to ask me, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”
Li Tai Zhengse said: "Master Pei is a smart person, I went to the East Palace today, and it happened that my father and queen mother were quarreling?" ”
Pei asked humbly: "Aren't they the most loving couple in the world?" How can there be a quarrel? ”
As the hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the favorite minister of Emperor Li Yuan, he had to bow his head in front of this little child. This is something that can't be helped, he was born in the emperor's family, he is his boss, he is a courtier.
"Don't you ask who they are fighting for? It's for you. ”
When Pei Xi heard it, it was strange, what did it matter to him that their husband and wife quarreled? He's an outdated bird now, he has no desires and no desires, and he doesn't get in the way of them.
"Why? Is it the old minister, did I do something wrong? It stands to reason that no, I'm a law-abiding citizen. ”
Li Tai looked at the dark ceiling and said, "Not necessarily only those who make mistakes will be punished? It's all too easy to find fault with someone. Do you understand? ”
Pei Lian's face turned pale with fright, although there was no wax in the room, but because of the proximity, he could feel that he was frightened.
"It's true, there are a lot of unnecessary things. Yidu Wang, thank you for reminding me. ”
"No, I'm not reminding you, I'm waking you up. The emperor has his eyes on you, and he is going to talk about you. You'll have to think of a perfect way for yourself. ”
Buddies who can have a relationship with a generation of emperors are naturally not intellectually disabled, Pei Lin immediately said: "King Yidu save me." ”
"My lord, if it weren't for the fact that you have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty, I would never dare to tell my parents' private affairs, you are my grandfather's best friend, I am willing to help you."
When Pei Lin heard this, he knelt straight in front of him.
"Your Excellency, please get up. Li Tai is young and can't stand you like this. Since I can tell you this news, I will have a way to save you. ”
Li Tai helped him up and whispered in his ear for a while, Pei Lin nodded like pounding garlic.
He was worried that he couldn't find a chance to tie up with Li Shimin, but he didn't expect this opportunity to come too quickly.
As the best courtier with Li Yuan, he knew very well in his heart that Li Yuan's era had passed, and now it was the year of Zhenguan, and it was Li Shimin's world, he must recognize the situation, otherwise he would end up miserable like the prince's remnants.
Li Tai's spirit was very full at once, and he believed that with the relationship between Pei Lin and Li Yuan, his words would be the easiest to accept. Moreover, handling the affairs of Taiji Palace well not only relieved him of the worry of being cleaned up, but also very likely to become Li Shimin's guest like Wei Zheng.
When I woke up, the sky was already bright, and when I looked at the bed, there was Pei Lone's shadow there.
Thinking that he must have gone to lobby Li Yuan.
Pei Lin is an old fox, Li Shimin is decisive in killing, he doesn't know, he can kill his own brother, can he be soft on an outsider like him? Instead of passively fighting, it is better to take the initiative to flatter.
When I came back from school, I was stopped by Li Yuan.
He agreed?
The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other in the room where they massaged Zhang Meiren last time.
"Has Grandpa Huang figured it out? My father is waiting for me to come back to my life. ”
"Well, I promise. Anyway, I'm not the emperor, so what can I do if I live in Taiji Palace? In fact, when I gave way to him, I planned to make room, but the thought of him actually cutting down more than a dozen of his own nephews and roots made my heart ache. ”
As he spoke, he was moved by emotion and burst into tears.
Li Tai saw him crying bitterly, and wanted to tear a piece of paper and hand it to him to wipe it, only to find that it was the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago, where was there any hand paper available?
"When is it time to repay grievances? Grandpa, my father is your son, father and son have no overnight enmity, in his special background, he can only do that. ”
Li Yuan looked at him, his eyes were a little erratic, and he sighed.
"Is it useful to say this? I said yes to make room for me, but he had to meet one condition for me to make sure my children were okay. ”
Li Tai replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already told him for you, and he said that he will definitely treat them like his own son."
Li Yuan wiped a handful of tears and said, "Okay, I will definitely keep this sentence in my heart, and I hope he will not go back on his word." ”
How sad it is that the relationship between father and son is at such a point!
