Monument Yangmen

Chapter 764 Chen Lin's Purpose

"Will do……"

Peng Pai gave Yang Qi an affirmative answer.

Yang Qi rushed forward, grabbed Peng Pai's arm, and hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"

Peng Pai grinned and looked at a tent not far behind him.

Yang Qi let go of Peng Pai, and quickly rushed towards the tent.

Peng Pai stroked Yang Qi's painful arm, shook his head and sighed, "I'm left alone again..."

Slowly walked back to the original place, squatted down on the ground alone, and started drinking.

"Quack quack... You really are just like the miscellaneous family, you are a loner..."

Chen Lin didn't know when she came to Peng Pai's side. With a jar of wine in his hand, he slowly sat beside Peng Pai, and took out two oil-paper bags from his arms.

Spread out the greased paper bag, revealing the steaming chicken and beef inside.

Chen Lin invited Peng Pai and said, "Try it, the miscellaneous family made it themselves..."

Peng Pai was not too polite, picked up a piece of beef, chewed it, then nodded to Chen Lin and said, "It tastes good... With your skills, go out and open a braised stew shop, and you will definitely make money."

Chen Lin tore off a piece of chicken leg, stuffed it into her mouth, and while chewing, she said, "The miscellaneous family's skills were learned from the imperial chefs in the palace, so that they could have the chance to please the emperor and climb up the ladder.

After serving Zhao Guangyi for ten years, the miscellaneous family has served enough.Go serve others again?Miscellaneous people don't want to. "

Chen Lin obviously hated serving people from the bottom of her heart.

Peng Pai turned his head curiously and asked: "You don't want to serve people anymore, so why do you stay in Yanjing City so shamelessly? Besides serving people, what else can you do?"

Chen Lin picked her teeth with chicken paws, and it seemed that shreds of meat were stuck between her teeth, then she sucked her lips, and said with a dark smile: "Quack, quack...that's why Zajia came to see you on the night of New Year's Eve .”

Peng Pai paused for a moment with the hand that had just picked up the beef, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You want to separate power from me."

Chen Lin didn't hide it, she nodded calmly, "That's what Zajia means."

Peng Pai instantly felt that the beef in his mouth was tasteless. He dropped the beef in his hand, folded his arms around his chest, bowed his waist, and stared at Chen Lin with sharp eyes.

"I can have what I am today, all because of my hard work and following His Majesty to climb up like a cow and a horse."

Peng Pai said seriously.

Chen Lin nodded faintly, "The miscellaneous family knows..."

Peng Pai said coldly: "You haven't accomplished an inch, why should you pick peaches from me?"

The corner of Chen Lin's mouth curled up into a smile, she looked at Peng Pai and said seriously: "Your life can be saved just by relying on miscellaneous family."

Peng Pai frowned, wondering, "Save me? What do you mean?"

Chen Lin patted open the mud seal on the wine jar, sniffed the wine greedily, and said with emotion: "My daughter Hong, who has been in the cellar for many years, is a tribute from Ouchi. It was specially brought by the miscellaneous family when they came over. You Do you want to try it?"

With a dark face, Peng Pai said angrily: "Who has the leisure to drink with you? Don't pretend to be crazy with me, tell me what you just said."

Chen Lin ignored Peng Pai's words. He took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes comfortably, and kept clicking his mouth.

After a while, after whetting Peng Pai's appetite, Chen Lin said quietly: "Your Majesty is like the sun in the sky, and no one can stop him from rising. And you, Peng Pai, are like a raging fire cooking oil, time is running out too much……"

Peng Pai raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and said coldly: "What do you mean by that? Although I, Peng Pai, came from a humble background, I have been conscientious and loyal since I joined His Majesty. Li is even more powerful, who can harm me?"

Chen Lin looked at Peng Pai seriously, and said solemnly, "The one who hurt you, Peng Pai, is yourself."

The more Chen Lin said, the more confused Peng Pai became.

Looking at Chen Lin's old-fashioned face, Peng Pai sarcastically said: "Pretending to be a ghost..."

Chen Lin shook her head, and said quietly: "The Zajia didn't play tricks... Don't forget what the Zajia did when they were in Bianjing."

Chen Lin pointed at Peng Pai, and said seriously: "The same thing as you... How long have you been in this business, and how long have you been in this business? The miscellaneous family has seen more things than you have seen.

Before Yan Yun recovers, what you Peng Pai has to do is to spy on the enemy's intelligence and secretly stir up the situation in the enemy country.

You Peng Pai has been doing this for many years, and you are quite proficient.

But now that Yanyun has been restored, and the Yan Kingdom has been established, there will probably be no more foreign wars for many years to come.

What should you do at this time?do you know? "

Peng Pai stared at Chen Lin coldly and said, "Of course I know this, of course it is the supervisory officials."

Chen Lin nodded, "That's right, to supervise all officials. This sentence is easy to say, but difficult to do. As a supervisory authority, naturally you can't get too close to all officials. If you are not careful, you will bend the law for personal gain.

As far as Zajia knows, you, Peng Pai, have a very close relationship with most of the upper-level officials in Yan State, right?
And those people under your command are more or less closely related to most officials of Yan State, right? "

Peng Pai frowned, and said displeasedly: "What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me of bending the law for personal gain, or that someone under me will bend the law for personal gain?"

Chen Lin shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't be so impulsive, listen to me slowly. There should be no one under you who bends the law for personal gain, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. Yan Guo was first established, and everything is in a state of waste .

It's like planting trees. Everyone is working hard to plant trees, weeding and fertilizing, but it's not time to pick peaches yet.

At this time, it is naturally impossible to have any disagreements, nor is it possible to bend the law for personal gain.

However, once the peach tree grows, it's time to divide the peaches.

As a person who supervises others picking peaches, do you think you can keep your heart?
One or two relatives picked an extra peach, or your relatives picked one or two extra peaches, how would you deal with them?
And how should you deal with your men? "

Chen Lin's words are very provocative and reasonable.

Peng Pai was a little disturbed by Chen Lin's words. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The things you said could not have happened in Yan Kingdom. I, Peng Pai, will remember my brotherhood and plead with His Majesty for a lighter punishment. But I, Peng Pai, will never shield those who bend the law for their own benefit."

"A plea to His Majesty?"

Chen Lin smiled, "You Peng Pai is in front of His Majesty, how many favors can you ask for? Your Majesty will not care about one or two. But if there are ten, eight, or even eighty...

At that time, do you still have the face to intercede with His Majesty?
Even if His Majesty is kind, thinking about your years of merit, he gritted his teeth and granted your plea.

Do you think the officials of Yan State will swallow their breath and pretend not to see it? "

As Chen Lin talked more and more, Peng Pai's face became more and more gloomy.

He had to admit that Chen Lin was right.

Human affection is the most untestable thing.

Even though Yang Qi was kind and willing to forgive his brothers for his sake, he was ashamed to plead with Yang Qi again and again.

Chen Lin looked at Peng Pai, and said quietly: "Don't look at you and those civil and military officials now, you are like brothers laughing and joking all day long. But when you really embark on the road of monitoring all officials, you are no different from them and enemies .

You can't be kind to them, and they can't leave you alive when they fight back.

You Peng Pai can guarantee that you will have no problems, but you cannot guarantee that the people under you will have no problems.

And for people like us, the most taboo thing is to make mistakes when running errands.

Once there is a mistake, not only will it be suspected of loyalty, but it will even be removed at any time.

If you think about Luo Ye and Zhao Di, you should understand what will happen if you make a mistake. "

Peng Pai looked at Chen Lin, and growled forcefully, "I, Peng Pai, do business and never make mistakes."

When Chen Lin heard this, she smiled, and her smile was full of sarcasm.

After laughing, Chen Lin stared at Peng Pai coldly, "You won't make any mistakes? Quack, quack... From the moment Zajia saw you until now, you have done at least two things wrong."

Peng Pai froze for a moment, and denied, "Impossible!"

"impossible?"

Chen Lin asked with a half-smile: "The Zajia asked you, when did you get the news that the Zajia came to Yanjing City to pass the decree?"

Peng Pai frowned and didn't understand what Chen Lin meant by asking this question, but he still told the truth: "I received the news the next day after you left Kaifeng Mansion."

Chen Lin nodded, and then asked: "Then when did you know that His Majesty's family has arrived in Yanjing City?"

Peng Pai hesitated for a moment and said, "Ten days ago..."

Chen Lin smiled and said, "Then when did His Majesty know these two things?"

Peng Pai immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

There were many things that Chen Linming didn't need to say, Peng Pai roughly guessed something.

Chen Lin looked at Peng Pai who lowered her head, and said with emotion: "We people, to put it mildly, we are the secret agents of the inner court, and to put it bluntly, we are the eagle dogs in the hands of His Majesty.

As an eagle dog, the most important thing to blame is to report what you hear and see to His Majesty in a timely manner.

And try my best to do every errand assigned by His Majesty.

However, as eagle dogs, we are not qualified to decide anything for your majesty.

The Sacred Heart is arbitrary, and this is the prerogative of kings.

Once we cross the line and decide something for the king, that is ultra vires.

A person can sit in the position of a king, and the things he thinks about are far beyond what you and I can compare.

Maybe an insignificant thing you and I see is a shocking event in the eyes of the king. "

Chen Lin got up slowly, patted the shoulder of Peng Pai who was in a daze, and said quietly: "Peng Pai, you have exceeded your authority twice. Your Majesty is kind, maybe you don't care about it, but your Majesty is not stupid, so you can see it naturally.

His Majesty does not need the surprise you prepared for him, what he needs is to be able to control everything.

Guess what it's like for His Majesty to see his wife and children now? "

Peng Pai sat on the ground in a daze, unable to say a word.

Chen Lin chuckled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know how many people are in there, and he doesn't know that his child can already call him father. Most importantly, His Majesty doesn't know that the four empresses are coming, so he didn't make any preparations at all.

Guess, will he be embarrassed when he sees the four empresses? "

What Chen Lin said was like watching Yang Qi joke.

But in Peng Pai's ears, it was colder than frost.

"Gudu~"

Peng Pai couldn't help thinking of Zhao Di who was far away in the southern country, and also thought of the fallen leaves blowing the cool breeze on Dongtou Island.

On seniority, on credit.

The qualifications of the two in front are higher than his, although the credit is slightly less than his, but in the eyes of Peng Pai, the two of them can be regarded as hard work.

But even so, neither of these two stayed by Yang Qi's side.

It's not that they don't want to stay, but that they did something wrong and were expelled by Yang Qi.

Perhaps, what happened to the two of them now is what happened to me after Peng Pai?

Thinking of this, Peng Pai looked at Chen Lin subconsciously, and said solemnly: "Have said so much, what do you want to take away from me?"

Chen Lin smiled cheerfully, "The Zajia isn't that ambitious, it's just that they have been doing dirty things for half of their life, and suddenly they quit, and I feel a little uncomfortable. The most important thing is that a group of people who are loyal to the Zajia also followed the Zajia to Yanzhou. country.

Even if miscellaneous people don't think about themselves, they have to think about them.

They have been helping the miscellaneous family for ten years. If they starved to death on the street, it would be the miscellaneous family's fault. "

Peng Pai growled angrily, "What exactly do you want?"

Hearing Peng Pai's intention to compromise, Chen Lin said with a smile: "You are in charge of the outside, and the Zajia is in charge. The Zajia did the dirty work of monitoring all the officials. Anyway, the Zajia has lost all children and grandchildren, and there are not so many of them." concern and concern.

It is up to you to monitor the affairs of the people, soldiers, and neighboring countries.You are more familiar with these things.

Do not offend others, even if you offend, it is an outsider. "

After a pause, Chen Lin said again: "Don't worry, the Zajia will not take away a single soldier from you. Not only that, but the Zajia will also give you a lot of good hands that can be used."

Peng Pai looked at Chen Lin uncertainly, and asked, "You are so kind?"

Chen Lin was taken aback, and said with a wry smile, "You suspect that the miscellaneous family has ulterior motives?"

Peng Pai stood up and said coldly: "Isn't it? You can lurk by Zhao Guangyi's side for ten years, but it's hard to guarantee that you won't lurk by His Majesty's side for another ten years. After what you said just now, I really feel my own inadequacy.

I, Peng Pai, am not a person greedy for power.

If Your Majesty wants to divide the power in my hands, I will not even frown.

You want to take away the power from me with just a few words, there is no way.

The power in Peng Pai's hands was given by His Majesty, if you want to share power from me, you have to wait until Your Majesty has tested your loyalty. "

Chen Lin clicked her lips and said helplessly, "Why bother... If His Majesty knows about this, he will definitely agree."

Peng Pai cupped his hands at the place where Yang Qi was, and said: "Then wait until we see His Majesty tomorrow, explain this matter to His Majesty, and see if His Majesty will agree!"

Chen Lin shook her head secretly.

Just at this time.

His Majesty, whom the two of them spoke of, had just lifted the curtain of the big tent.

After seeing the busy people inside, he was stunned.
