Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 462

An hour ago, Tai Chi Palace Imperial Study Room:
Li Yuan held the Qiankun Mirror and looked at the memorial sent up from below. Even with the mark of Three Provinces and Six Parts, this awkward memorial still looks very laborious.A few days ago, there was heavy rain in various places, and the flood situation was reported along the Yellow River, but fortunately, no place reported the disaster situation yet.

The most difficult thing right now is how to fill the huge power vacuum left after Li Shimin handed over power, and who will lead the tens of thousands of Shence troops.Li Yuan thought of Xu Qing, and shook his head, and thought of the prince, also shook his head.Don't look at Li Yuan's support for the crown prince's ascension to the throne, but after his death, when he was still alive, he still hoped that the prince would be his son and minister safely.But without Li Shimin's restriction, will the prince's ambition grow?

Alas, Li Yuan sighed, and looked around the imperial study room, except for the little eunuch Hou at the door, there was no one else.

Li Yuan opened the window, but some rain came in. He looked at the dark night outside, and hurriedly closed the window again.Take a break and read the memorial again.I don't know how long it took, the memorials in front of me were finally approved, and there were still some questions to be asked at the court meeting tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, Erlang seems to be still a minister, how about improving his status as a minister?Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for him.
"emperor……"

At this time, an old eunuch came in and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, it's already very late. Concubine Wan Gui asked the old slave several times, is the Emperor tired?"

Ever since Concubine Wan Gui used the soap from Xu Qing's family, it can be said that she is the only honored and favored concubine. Li Yuan will not go to any other concubine's palace.Li Yuan told Concubine Wan Gui, I have already enjoyed the beauty among thousands of flowers here, why go to those palaces?The other concubines are fine, the emperor won't go anyway, except for one Zhang Jieyu.

It's said that when Li Laoma was reckless, Zhang Jieyu was the most honored and favored concubine in the harem. Don't look at her position is a bit low, but the emperor is going through it every day, and it will be a matter of time before she has children. .It is impossible to fight for a prince after having a child, but Zhang Jieyu can at least get a concubine. Even if Li Yuan dies, he will still enjoy the court's offerings for life.Hey, Li Yuan is gone, don't those little fresh meat eat as much as they want?
However, in the past two months, the emperor only went to her place once, and she also blamed herself for not being able to live up to expectations, why the emperor didn't conceive a boy and a half girl when he went frequently.The emperor only favored Concubine Wan Gui, which made Zhang Jieyu feel disheartened, but she is also a young woman, who would be willing to let old man Li go to accompany Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime after his death.What's worse, she, who is favored by the emperor, might go down to accompany Li Yuan...

Therefore, Zhang Jieyu started to operate everywhere, so let's not show it here, let's look at the things in Li Yuanyu's study first.

Hearing what the old eunuch said, Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "I'm tired today, so I'll just rest here for one night, and you go tell Concubine Wan Gui to let her go to bed early."

The old eunuch left as promised, and when Li Yuan was about to sleep with his clothes on, there was another footstep, and Li Yuan said impatiently, "Who is it again? Didn't I say that I slept here?"

There was a whisper at the door, and the little eunuch said, "Your Majesty, Pei Ju is begging to see you."

"Pei Ji? What is he doing here at this time? He is also an old bone, why don't he go to sleep." Li Yuan stood up again with his clothes on. Pei Ji has the privilege of not being notified when entering the palace, regardless of time. Once this privilege is exercised , Pei Ji must have something very important.Li Yuan said to the little eunuch: "Go let Prime Minister Pei in..."

The little eunuch explained: "No, no, it wasn't Shang Shu Zuo Pu who shot Pei Ji, it was Mr. Pei Ju, the son of the prince's house Zhan."

"What is he here for?" Li Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard that it was Pei Ju. This man was an official in the same dynasty as Li Yuan in the Sui Dynasty, and he still had the ability to be an official. Take a chestnut. , or the credit of his old fox.But he was an official under many separatist forces in the Sui Dynasty and the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he could be a bus.But I don't know how this Pei Ju got into the palace, and I must strictly investigate the guards in the palace later, how is it worth it!
"Lord Pei Ju said that he has something very important to tell the emperor."

"Let him in!" Li Yuan nodded after thinking for a moment, he had already woken up anyway, let's hear him explain what is important, he must have thought about the consequences clearly for him to be able to break in.

Pei Ju tidied up his clothes outside the imperial study room, then turned his face very serious, walked to the door, walked quickly in small steps, saw Li Yuan, and immediately knelt down and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhan, the Minister of the Prince's House, Pei Ju! "

Li Yuan raised his hand and said, "Pei Zhan doesn't need to be too polite, just talk about it if you have anything to say, I'm tired now, I'm going to sleep."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Ju said slowly, "This... oh, I would like to report to Your Majesty, I am grateful for your Majesty's kindness. There is one thing that has been in my heart for a long time, and now I can't help it. I want to tell Your Majesty. .”

Li Yuan supported his forehead and said, "What is so important that you are allowed to enter the palace late at night?"

After hesitating again for a while, with a look of apprehension on his face, he finally spoke again: "Well, speaking of it, this matter is also related to His Majesty. I have heard about this matter many times, but today I saw it with my own eyes. If I don't speak out, I'm really ashamed of His Majesty's love. Ahem, Your Majesty, ma'am, the prince and Zhang Jieyu have an affair!"

"What!" Li Yuan couldn't believe his ears, he lost sleep all of a sudden like ice water, and being cuckolded, ordinary people couldn't bear it, let alone a rich emperor?What's more, he was cuckolded by his most cherished son?It is tolerable, what is unbearable!But Li Yuan still didn't believe what Pei Ju said, he slammed the table and stood up to drink: "Pei Ju, where did you see that?"

"The old minister was dealing with political affairs late today. When he passed by the crown prince's room, he saw that the lights inside were like daylight. He went to the side to take a look. But he saw the crown prince making out with a woman inside, and shouting about the emperor, Zhang Jieyu... "Pei Ju briefly described the scene at that time, probably Zhang Jieyu was playing a role-playing game with the prince, I don't understand it, so I won't write it out.

Seeing Li Yuan clutching his chest in great grief, it took him a while to recover, pointing at Pei Ju and saying, "Do you know how much more serious the crime is for falsely accusing the crown prince?"

Pei Ju suddenly burst into tears at this time, he said: "Falsely accusing the prince is the most rebellious, the barbarians. But, your majesty, how dare you falsely accuse the prince without any real evidence? I have to report the ugly behavior to Your Majesty! If Your Majesty does not believe me, I am willing to confront the Crown Prince in court!"

Li Yuan was stunned when he heard the words, and slumped on the chair weakly. Pei Ju dared to say such a thing, so what he said must be true.What's going on here, how can I do such absurd things with the most respect for my father?Could it be that he used to be a fake?A little Zhang Jieyu made him ignore my father, ignore me as a king, risk the world's disgrace, and take risks. Such a prince will inherit the great rule in the future, can he take on the important task of the world?How many shadows does he have hidden in his heart, and his kindness is also fake?He became the emperor, the king of Qin and the king of Qi, wouldn't he...

Alas, how could this be the case.It was difficult for Li Yuan to accept the fact that the prince he was supporting finally lost sight of him, and even because of this, he forced King Qin away who was really good to him.

However, Li Yuan has gone from a general to an emperor, and he has fought in the north and south for so many years, and even a little bit of green can't fool his reason.He said to the little eunuch at the door: "Go and ask Pei Ji to come over..."

In the room, apart from the breathing of Li Yuan and Pei Ju, there was no other sound, and the sound of raindrops hitting outside the window was also much quieter.

But at this time, Li Yuan, who was in the army for half his life, seemed to hear the sound of killing not far away. This kind of sound only needs a little bit, even if others can't hear it at all, Li Yuan can still feel the feeling of the battlefield.Why in this palace...

Just as he was wondering, a Long Wei hurriedly ran outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, please tell your Majesty that someone outside the city has led troops to attack Xuanfu Gate. I don't know who it is!"

"What?" Li Yuan and Pei Ju were startled, someone rebelled, who is so bold!But Li Yuan didn't see Pei Ju's eyeballs rolling, only saw Pei Ju kneel down with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a capital offender! When I entered the palace, I said the purpose of entering the palace. Who would have thought that I would come here this time?" , The general guarding the gate actually told the prince about it. When the prince saw the incident, he must have jumped over the wall in a hurry and led troops to force the palace!"

Li Yuan pointed at Pei Ju and scolded: "Shut up! Why does the prince have a different heart towards me?"

Pei Ju kowtowed like garlic: "Your Majesty, when the crown prince was playing with Zhang Jieyu, he had already lost the emperor. The crown prince had objected a long time ago, and this time just exposed his villainous heart! Please learn from the emperor... ..."

Li Yuan's defensive line was broken by Pei Ju's few words, he said in a panic: "The crown prince has tens of thousands of martial arts troops in his hands, as well as the army under the king of Qi, what should we do?"

Pei Ju cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there are so many people in the Crown Prince, the gate of the palace will be breached in the blink of an eye. Your Majesty might as well move to the Chengde Hall and ask King Qin to come out of the mountain. The current Shence Army has not been split up yet. King Qin gave an order to return to the palace." Can turn the tables!"

As soon as Pei Ju said this, Li Yuan suddenly calmed down, and thought for a while in his mind: "Hmph, Pei Ju, who is an ambitious wolf, who is a villain, and who is Sima Zhao, now I know."

Seeing Li Yuan like this, Pei Ju felt overwhelmed, but his part was only a small part of the whole plan.The purpose is to forge one thing, so that the king of Qin's leadership of the army is legal.In addition, after the incident, control Li Yuan.However, it's just a matter of legality. As long as the matter is done, Li Yuan is not afraid of being out of control.Thinking of this, Pei Ju's heart settled down a bit: "Hahaha, as expected of His Majesty, I am convinced."

"Sure enough, I can't believe you, a slave of the five surnames. Tell me, why did the King of Qin buy you off?" Li Yuan pulled out a cold dagger from under the bed sheet.
