Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Pei Shiju was not surprised that Chai Shao could see through everything so quickly. In fact, it was not difficult... especially in the eyes of someone like Chai Shao who knew the inside story.

Do you know the inside story?

Of course it was the internal affair between Pei Shiju and Li Shan.

Chai Shao naturally thought that since King Qin really wanted to return to the capital, but His Majesty still summoned him to return to the capital, at this moment, the East Palace took action. There was no such coincidence!

In other words, if the prince had such means, he would never wait until King Qin joined the army before taking action. This is against common sense.

Therefore, it could only be Pei Shiju's method, and the target, or the first target, of this method was not King Qin, but Li Shan.

Sighing again, Chai Shao calmed down, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"

"People like Li Huairen are really rare. If Li Dewu hadn't concealed it, I would have tolerated him. The story of the champion is vivid in my mind." Pei Shiju also sighed softly, "Unfortunately, by the time I knew about it, Li Dewu had already taken action several times. His heart is as vicious as a tiger's."

Chai Shao nodded slightly, "Driving his son to death in Hebei, Li Dewu is indeed unworthy of being a father."

"Now I also regret it. If I knew that Li Huairen would be like this, I would have expelled Li Dewu to avoid getting into trouble." Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "It's a pity that my daughter didn't know about it at that time and she had a son."

"So Pei Gong wanted to put Huairen into desperate situations several times."

"Without my methods, Li Huairen may not be where he is today." Pei Shiju said cheerfully: "A hero needs to be tempered to become a hero, and it is hard to see him again like the King of Qin."

Chai Shao laughed dumbly, but he had to admit that there were very few people like King Qin who fought on the battlefield at a young age and could win every battle no matter what crisis they encountered. On the contrary, it was normal for someone like Li Shan who repeatedly turned defeat into victory. What Pei Shiju said makes sense. If it weren't for the help of this servant, how could Li Shan become famous all over the world in just a few years?

"From then on, there was no room for maneuver." Pei Shiju continued: "My only son died in Huating, and only life and death were left."

"Actually, it was not Huairen who killed Pei Xuanji in the battle with Huating..."

"I believe it." Pei Shiju smiled miserably, "So what?"

"Didn't I lose my son in his later years?"

"Aren't these brought by Li Dewu and Li Huairen?"

After Chai Shao was silent for a moment, he said in a low voice: "After the incident at Renzhi Palace, when Duke Pei becomes an official, Huairen will definitely not kill them all."

"If King Qin is defeated and the prince ascends the throne, I will not kill them all, but he will not believe it." Pei Shiju sneered, "So I will not believe it either."

Chai Shao was finally speechless. What else could he say?

Now that it has come to this point, either you die or I die. Chai Shao changed the topic, "Did Mr. Pei come here to persuade someone to join the crown prince?"

"Of course we don't have such extravagant hopes." Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "Princess Pingyang and Duke Huo Guo and his wife are both outstanding people. They are famous and have made contributions to the country. They are also trusted by His Majesty. Why would they be rebellious?"

Chai Shao was a little surprised. Every word Pei Shiju said today was honest. It was true. No matter who won or lost between the prince and the King of Qin, he and Princess Yangyang would at most be left idle and would not be in any danger.

In the most extreme case, the prince goes crazy and kills the King of Qin and all the princes below him. Even Li Yuan is dead, but he will never do anything to Princess Pingyang... After all, there is no such thing as Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping. precedent.

Staring at Pei Shiju, Chai Shao was very curious about the other party's purpose. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "Huairen is not dead?" Pei Shiju's mouth moved, and after a moment he slowly nodded, "It is true that we could not ambush. Li Huairen entered the palace last night. He suddenly broke out and ran away outside Linhu Palace, and there is still no trace."

A smile appeared on Chai Shao's face. Although he was not afraid of what this palace change would bring to him, after all, he had been under Li Shimin's command for a long time and had been on good terms with Li Shan. Naturally, he hoped that King Qin would win, not to mention that there was a What about Li Yuan, the father-in-law?

"I still can't figure out where the flaw was exposed." Pei Shiju still couldn't let it go. "There was no trace all night. If there is no accident, Li Huairen should have escaped from the palace. Although we don't know how he escaped, in fact There are means."

"Or is it King Qin's method?"

"With the story of Qiao Gongshan in front of me, King Qin must have something secret in the East Palace."

Chai Shao didn't say anything, but suddenly he remembered something. Back then, Li Shan was talking nonsense in front of him and his wife, insisting that he would not be involved in seizing the legitimate son... His wife pointed out Ling Jing who had thrown himself into Tiance Mansion, and Li Shan But he said that he was imitating the Xue family brothers, and he also had people in the East Palace, betting on both ends.

It was probably not the chess pieces placed by King Qin in the East Palace, but Li Shan's own men... But who could it be?

Anyone who could send Li Shan out of the palace must have an extraordinary status in the East Palace, and he must be a confidant of the prince. Several names were spinning in Chai Shao's mind.

"If Huairen intercepts King Qin, then everything will stop." Pei Shiju whispered: "Of course, the prince also has arrangements. He has sent people to watch the Sun Moon Lake, and sent guards to Chang'an and Xinfeng..."

Chai Shao interrupted: "What exactly does Mr. Pei want to say?"

Pei Shiju fell silent for a long time and then said: "Qu Silang, Wang Junhao and more than ten personal guards, I will control Wang Junhao and prevent them from losing their lives."

Chai Shao came to his senses after being stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't you think Mr. Pei can't trust Huairen?"

"So I came to see Duke Huo."

Chai Shao was stunned again, he was trying to make himself a guarantee!

Pei Shiju and Chai Shao both knew Li Shan's temperament very well. Sometimes Li Shan was extremely indifferent to death, and sometimes he took it very seriously. The key was who died.

Li Shan and Li Jing were at loggerheads. On the one hand, they had a tacit understanding. After all, they were both generals with great military achievements. They just found an excuse to create a quarrel. On the other hand, Li Shan could not let go of those personal guards who died in Guji Town.

It is precisely because he knows how much Li Shan values ​​the people around him that Pei Shiju has not dared to attack Sun Moon Lake directly in these years.

Wang Junhao and Qu Silang are both leaders of the personal guards who have followed Li Shan for many years... If the King of Qin loses, it doesn't matter. If the King of Qin fails to win, or turns defeat into victory, then the deaths of Wang Junhao and Qu Silang will definitely anger Li Shan.

By that time, Li Shan is likely to be cruel. Even if Pei Shiju hides his two grandsons and sends his daughter Pei Shuying away, Li Shan will definitely pursue them and kill them all.

Therefore, Pei Shiju suddenly found Chai Shao to make a deal.

I will not kill Qu Silang, Wang Junhao and those dozen personal guards. If the King of Qin wins, please Huo Guogong Chai Shao to come forward and don't let Li Shan kill them all.

After thinking everything through, Chai Shao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Pei Shiju, an old fox, has really thought through people's hearts. It's no wonder that Huairen has been so popular in recent years, but in the end the outcome is still unpredictable.

After thinking for a moment, Chai Shao solemnly nodded in agreement.
