Chapter Forty-Six: The Generous Pei Lonely
Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Pei Lin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Didn't you say that with the will of the Emperor, leave room for me? But how do I feel that you are here to blackmail me?
Is the Emperor too confused? Why is it so partial to a yellow-mouthed child?
Thinking of this, Pei Lin couldn't help but look at the old servant Wang, his eyes were full of surprise and puzzlement.
Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "Pei Shangshu, you must know that you can only get if you give up." Emperor Taishang will soon walk out of the Daming Palace and go to the Zhuangzi of the horse master outside the city to escape the summer. ”
What???
Pei Lone's brain buzzed.
He doesn't care about what kind of summer vacation or something, and he can ignore it wherever he goes, Pei Lin grabbed the most important signal, the emperor is going to leave the palace?
It's been a year, a whole year, and everyone knows that no one dares to mention the tacit understanding, the Emperor Taishang can't come out, and he is under house arrest in Daming Palace by His Majesty and his own son.
It is said that it is house arrest, but in fact it is captivity. It has been recorded in the history books that such incidents abound, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the famous monarch who proposed 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting' - King Zhao Wuling, when he was heroic in his early years, he overwhelmed the contemporary, but in his later years, he was imprisoned in the cold palace and starved to death.
Now that the old and new regimes of the Tang Dynasty have just changed, during the Xuanwu Gate, the King of Qin killed the crown prince and the King of Qi, and there is no opponent, and the throne is already firmly the King of Qin.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the Tang Dynasty established the country with benevolence and filial piety, and His Majesty cannot imprison the Emperor Taishang forever, but he will have to wait until two or three years later at the earliest, and completely control the imperial court.
What the hell is going on? Can His Majesty let down his guard and dare to release the Emperor?
Pei Lin was puzzled, turned his head to look at Xiao Rui, thinking about it, all the ups and downs in the recent period are related to this young man, this one? I'm afraid I can't escape.
Arching his hand, Pei Lin sighed and said: "The future is terrifying." Fifty thousand taels of silver, I Pei Lin out. ”
"Choose wisely, money is something outside of your body, and this money will be the most valuable expenditure in your life." Xiao Rui praised.
Pei Lin scolded in his heart, if you weren't forcing you to blackmail, who would want to bleed?
"Hmph, I just hope that Xiao Fuma can do what he says and spend the money where it should be spent. I, Pei Lian, am not Feng Deyi, who has a fortune of more than 100,000 yuan, and these 50,000 taels of silver are afraid that I will sell all the acres and houses of the Pei family. ”
Xiao Rui turned his head and pointed at Lao Wang and said: "Elder Wang testified, after this money is spent, the grievances between you and these people will be completely eliminated, and the Yushitai and the Criminal Department will close the case tomorrow, and they will not be investigated." ”
"Humph!" Pei Lin was unwilling, he didn't care about the lives of those lowly people. If it weren't for you, Xiao Rui, who was pulling the tiger's skin as a banner and threatening me, how dare these untouchables criticize a prime minister?
Of course, Xiao Rui understands that it will not be so simple to let a person who has been high above since he was a child look down on all living beings and even go deep into the people to see.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Xiao Rui never thought of changing their concepts, as long as you are soft, know that you are afraid, and know how to restrain in the future, as for what do you think in your hearts? Hehe, we don't care about the deeds of the Imperial Historical Observatory.
"I heard that your son, lawyer Pei, ......"
Pei Lin shouted angrily: "Xiao Rui! Are you going to go back on your word? The old man has promised to pool the money for you, if you dare to move the dog, the old man will fight for his life, and he will fight to the death. ”
"Misunderstanding, Ling Lang married the eldest princess of Linhai, how can I be unfavorable to him?"
Can Pei Lin believe it?
"Hmph, Feng Yandao probably thinks the same way."
Xiao Rui smiled: "The evil things that Feng Yandao has done are angry and resentful, how can you compare with him?" Pei Shangshu was the editor-in-chief of "Wude Law", which was the predecessor of today's "Tang Law", and he could use the law to restrain the people of a country, and of course there was no need to question the family education. Lawyer Ling Lang Pei is known for his talents, I heard that he is working in the Ministry of Industry? ”
Pei Lin sneered: "Yes, the dog is a few years older than you, and he works as a clerk in the Ministry of Industry." How? Do you want the dog to also hand over a resignation paperwork? ”
Xiao Rui knew that this old man was bleeding profusely, and he must be annoyed, so he wouldn't have any kind words and didn't care.
Patiently talked about the business: "At Your Majesty, I received an errand and needed to build several large villages in the north of Chang'an City, near the river. But now there is a shortage of talents, so I want to ask Ling Lang to come over and help. ”
"You can go to the Ministry of Industry to negotiate on business, the dog has already got married, and the old man will not interfere."
Don't do it? Okay, don't force it.
"The last thing, I often hear the emperor say that when people are old, there are fewer and fewer people who can talk, and those old friends have passed away one by one, and now the people chatting are gone."
"In a few days, Grandpa Huang is going to my manor to spend the summer, and now His Majesty has approved your farewell. If you have time, can you take the time to talk to the emperor's grandfather? ”
Well?? What's going on?
Pei Lin really didn't expect that after talking to him for so long, there was finally some good news.
Said gratefully: "The old minister thanks the emperor for his love, and when the family is arranged, he will go to accompany the emperor to spend the summer." ”
"Okay, the matter is done, and I will say goodbye. Elder Wang, let's go back and restore our lives. ”
Xiao Rui saluted and said goodbye, turned around and left slowly.
Lao Wang got up and followed, hesitated for a moment, and reminded Pei Lian: "Pei Shangshu, Master Ma is not a greedy person. His Majesty decided to build a number of workshops with 100,000 taels, and the master said that if he did it well, he could make money. You still have a surplus of money to compensate the people. The extra will be put into the workshop together and will be used as the emperor's daily pension funds in the future. ”
"Actually, your money is for the Emperor Taishang. The master of the horse wants to ask Ling Lang for help, and he also takes a fancy to Ling Lang's talent, and intends to help, alas...... It's a pity. ”
After speaking, Lao Wang hurriedly chased out.
What??? 50,000 taels is for the emperor to open a workshop and earn money for the elderly?
Pei Lin patted his head, "Wait, Xiao Yuma, Wang Gonggong, wait a minute......"
chased all the way to the door, Pei Lin finally grabbed Xiao Rui, and at this time he had changed his face, with a smile on his face, "Xiao Yuma, it turned out that I had a misunderstanding, and I was not in a hurry to leave, there was a discussion, there was a discussion." ”
"Discuss? Isn't our matter settled? What else is being discussed? Xiao Rui pretended to be confused.
Pei Lin pulled the person into the courtyard and whispered: "Didn't you say earlier that this money was spent for the emperor, if so, I am willing to pay another 50,000." ”
"Huh? Another 50,000? Xiao Rui looked at Pei Lin in surprise, "Pei Shangshu, you can say just now, 50,000 taels you have already sold your house and land, and you have tried your best to piece it together." ”
Pei Lin smiled: "I, Pei Lian, was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and my ancestors have a small amount of money, so for the sake of the emperor, it doesn't hurt to sell my ancestral property." ”
"It's not good......"
"Pei Lin is an old man, it is Pei Lone's honor to be able to contribute something to the Emperor Taishang with his crippled body, and I hope that Xiao Concubine's horse will be fulfilled."
Xiao Rui was embarrassed for a long time, "This, alas...... Well, no wonder the imperial grandfather often said that Pei Lin was his old man's best friend since childhood, and today I learned that the friendship between the two of you is so precious! It's enviable. ”
"Where, where, the emperor is too falsely praised. So the dog's ...... "This is the real purpose of his money, and the purpose of scattering money is to buy a future for his son."
