"Grandma, with Grandpa Huang, I really rely on you."
"Don't come to me. I don't have the ability. Let me tell you, there is someone who can do it."
"Who? Are you talking about Mr. Pei?"
He had no impression of Pei Ji at all, he only knew that he and Li Yuan were best buddies. Otherwise, Li Shimin wouldn't show Li Yuan his chicken by killing him.
"Exactly. He is chatting with the Supreme Emperor right now. If you ask him to persuade you, Grandpa Huang, he will definitely agree."
This is indeed a way. If Pei Ji is a smart person, he will definitely agree.
He is not stupid, and doing Li Yuan's ideological work well can be said to be beneficial to all of them.
But he couldn't guarantee that he could be persuaded.
"Great, Zhang Meiren, I need you to cooperate with me."
"Just tell me how you want to cooperate. I will be happy to do anything for my son."
Zhang Meiren seems to have changed into a different person, very happy.
"Since there is a distinguished guest in the palace, we must entertain him warmly. At the banquet table, you can persuade him to drink a few more drinks, and then let him stay in the palace overnight. I will talk to him in the evening after he wakes up."
Zhang Meiren pursed her lips and said happily: "Okay, this is a good idea."
This was the first time he met Pei Ji. He was about the same age as Li Yuan and looked unlucky from head to toe.
He first saluted him with the courtesy of a junior, and then strongly invited him to stay for dinner.
Pei Ji hurried to Tai Chi Palace after getting Li Yuan's information. Seeing Li Tai's warm invitation, 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 seducing effect of women. Pei Ji and Li Yuan were both in a bad mood. They drank alcohol to drown their sorrows, and they drank without warning.
In the end, Zhang Meiren successfully completed the task assigned to him, and Pei Ji was so drunk that Li Tai asked Wang Xiaoyang to send him to his bed.
If you want to do big things, you have to pay the price. Although he doesn't like others sleeping in his bed, he has no choice for this big thing.
He gave him a lot of hangover soup.
At about four o'clock in the morning, Pei Ji woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw a strange place, he was so frightened that he sat up from the bed.
"Sir, are you sober?"
Li Tai held a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.
"King Yidu, where is this? Why am I here?"
Li Tai smiled and said: "This is my bedroom in Tai Chi Palace. You drank too much and didn't go back home, so you just stayed here for one night. It just so happens that Li Tai still has many things to ask you for advice."
Pei Ji was so frightened that he quickly got out of bed, bowed to him and said, "King Yidu is so kind-hearted. If you have anything to ask me, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Li Tai said seriously: "Master Pei is a very smart man. I went to the East Palace today, and it happened that my father, the emperor, and my mother were quarreling?"
Pei Ji asked guiltily, "Aren't they the most loving couple in the world? Why are they quarreling?"
As the hero of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the favorite of Emperor Li Yuan, he had to bow his head in front of this child. There was nothing he could do about it. He was born in an emperor's family, he was his superior, and he was his minister.
"Don't you ask who they are arguing about? It's about you."
When Pei Shi heard this, it was strange. What did it have to do with him that the couple was quarreling? He was already a passer-by, he had no desires and no demands, so he wouldn't hinder anything from them?
"Why? Sir, did I do something wrong? Logically speaking, I shouldn't. I am a law-abiding citizen."
Li Tai looked at the dark ceiling and said: "Not necessarily only those who make mistakes will be punished? It is too easy to find something wrong with a person. Do you understand, sir?"
Pei Ji turned pale with fright. Although there was no wax in the room, he could feel that he was frightened because of the close proximity.
"This is true. There are many unfounded things. King Yidu, thank you for reminding me."
"Wrong, I'm not reminding you, but giving you a warning. The emperor is eyeing you and wants to make trouble with you. You have to think of a perfect way for yourself."
Anyone who can have a good relationship with an emperor is naturally not mentally retarded. Pei Ji immediately said: "King Yidu, save me."
"Sir, if it weren't for the great contribution you have made to our country, I would never dare to tell my parents' personal affairs. You are my grandfather's best friend, so I am willing to help you."
When Pei Ji heard this, he knelt down in front of him.
"Sir, please get up quickly. Li Tai is young and cannot bear to be like this. Since I can tell you this news, I will naturally have a way to save you."
Li Tai helped him up and whispered in his ear for a while, and Pei Ji nodded like garlic.
He was worried that he would not find an opportunity to curry favor with Li Shimin, but he did not expect that this opportunity would come too quickly.
As the closest minister to Li Yuan, he knew very well that Li Yuan's era had passed. Now was the year of Zhenguan, and the world belonged to Li Shimin. He must understand the situation clearly, otherwise he would end up in the same miserable fate as the prince's remnants.
Li Tai's energy suddenly became very high. He believed that with the relationship between Pei Ji and Li Yuan, his words would be most easily accepted. Moreover, handling the affairs of Tai Chi Palace would not only relieve him of the worry of being dealt with, but also make it very possible for him to appear like a child.
Wei Zheng also became Li Shimin's guest.
When I woke up, it was already bright. When I looked over the bed, I saw Pei Ji's shadow there.
Thinking that he must have gone to lobby Li Yuan.
Pei Ji is an old fox. Li Shimin kills decisively. He doesn't know that he can kill his own brother, but can he be soft to an outsider like him? Instead of being passively beaten, it is better to take the initiative to flatter him.
When I came back from school, I was stopped by Li Yuan.
Did he agree?
Grandfather and grandson were sitting opposite each other in the room where Zhang Meiren was given a massage last time.
"Grandpa Huang, have you figured it out? Father is waiting for me to come back to life."
"Oh, I agree. 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 for him, but when I thought about him actually uprooting more than a dozen of his nephews, my heart ached.
ah."
As he spoke, he actually became emotional and shed tears.
Seeing him crying, Li Tai wanted to tear up a piece of paper and hand it to him to wipe, only to realize that it was the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago. Where could there be toilet paper?
"When has it been time to retaliate with grudges? Grandpa, my father is your son. There is no overnight grudge between father and son. With his special background, he can only do that."
Li Yuan looked at him, his eyes a little uncertain, and sighed.
"Is it useful to say this? I agree to let me make room, but he must meet one condition of mine, to ensure that my children are safe."
Li Tai replied with a smile: "Don't worry about this. I have already told him for you. He said that he will definitely treat them like his own sons."
Li Yuan wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, I will definitely keep this sentence in mind, and I hope he will not go back on his words."
How sad it is that the relationship between father and son is at this point!
