The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

How could he not care at all when an outsider wanted to deal with his own son?

Now, he had to kneel down and beg him to save his son.

Why, his son was a human being, but his own son was not?

Li Yuan had no patience for Pei Ji now. Seeing him do this, he felt annoyed.

What had he done before? This door should not have been opened. Lawyer Pei was just following him and imitating him.

"During the Wude era, I turned a blind eye to some things, and everyone lived in peace and passed it by. Even if Pei Ji did something wrong, as long as he didn't go too far and didn't break the balance of the court, I wouldn't say much." Li Yuan said with emotion: "But now it's different. Erlang is in charge. The Tang Dynasty should be different from before. The Zhenguan era is better than the Wude era. This is normal. The Tang Dynasty has a lot of work to do. It needs to develop and make changes to survive from generation to generation."

"And the atmosphere of the original Wude era should also be changed."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan also had a lot of emotion. The more he thought about it, the more he doubted whether he had done something wrong back then, which led to the current result, making it difficult for Li Shimin to reform in the court.

If so, let the Pei family be an example.

The Pei family, who had such a good relationship with him, the old man, fell down, and the others should also be honest.

"Whether it's a person or a dynasty, it's always right to look forward and move forward." Li Fu said, "My nephew thinks that what you think is right."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"People, the older they get, the softer their hearts become. Why? The longer you live, the fewer and fewer familiar people you have left around you. When you think back to the old people and old things, you can't help but feel sad." Li Yuan said, "Pei Ji is kneeling outside. As long as I don't see him, everything will be fine. But this time, it's different. It's easy to be soft-hearted."

So Li Yuan's attitude is very firm now, that is, he won't see Pei Ji.

Both of them are not young anymore, and their hair and beards are all white.

Just thinking about that scene makes my heart sour.

The old Pei Ji kneeled in front of me, tears streaming down his face, crying for me to let him go and say good things for Lawyer Pei...

How can I not feel anything when something like this happens in front of me?

People have feelings.

Pei Ji knelt outside for half an hour. He was old and exhausted. After half an hour, he was already shaky.

"Your Majesty~" Pei Ji called outside.

"Your Majesty~ I kowtow to see you."

The eunuch in the hall came out and looked at Pei Ji.

"Prime Minister Pei, even if you kneel here for a longer time, it's useless. You should go back. The emperor will not see you." The eunuch persuaded.

"No, I won't go back." Pei Ji's stubbornness also came up.

He also knew that if he left Da'an Palace, there would be no hope for Lawyer Pei's case.

Another person came out of the hall and stood in front of Pei Ji.

"Prime Minister Pei." Li Fu cupped his hands.

"Prince of Jingyang?" Pei Ji looked up and looked at Li Fu with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Why is he in Da'an Palace? Did he know that I was coming, so he came to persuade the emperor to stop seeing him?

"Prime Minister Pei, don't wait any longer, and don't beg anymore. The emperor already knows everything." Li Fu said, "Prime Minister Pei, you hurt the emperor's heart."

"This..." Pei Ji's face was full of sadness. His hunched body seemed to have been drained of strength at this moment, and collapsed in an instant.

"The emperor was so sad now that he couldn't bear to see Prime Minister Pei before." Li Fu whispered, "From the Wude period to the Zhenguan period, the emperor turned a blind eye too many times. Now, he can't pretend not to see it anymore."

"Prime Minister Pei, everyone has a bottom line, and so does the emperor. You and the emperor are both this age, you should be able to understand." Li Fu said, "The emperor retired to Da'an Palace, but it doesn't mean he wants to lose his integrity in his later years. Look at the commotion in Chang'an this time. Is this reasonable?"

Pei Ji was speechless.

Li Fu didn't like Pei Ji, but this was Da'an Palace, so he could still have the patience to chat with Pei Ji.

Moreover, at this time, saying these words was somewhat murderous.

People should have hope when they are alive.

What will happen to Pei Ji if his hope is taken away?

Pei Ji didn't have only one son, Lawyer Pei. It was just that he loved Lawyer Pei the most and devoted the most effort to him.He had the heart to abandon this son and train and support another one so that he could inherit the Pei family in the future.

But now, everything is too late.

His reluctance, in the end, even cost him himself.

It must be said that Lawyer Pei really failed Pei Ji's preference and cultivation for him.

In Pei Ji's family, Lawyer Pei's position was too stable. He was loved by his father, trained by the clan, married the daughter of the emperor, and became the brother-in-law of the current emperor. He originally had a bright future.

But the Pei family was involved in many things. These things, one by one, dragged the father and son of the Pei family into the abyss.

"Since the matter has been done, now Prime Minister Pei, don't kneel here to let others feel how pitiful the Pei family is." Li Fu said: "It's useless. Didn't Prime Minister Pei discuss this matter when he attended the morning court before?"

"The result will come out in the morning court tomorrow. Prime Minister Pei should go back first." Li Fu said.

"Your Highness King Jingyang, where is my son now?" Pei Ji asked.

Li Fu shook his head: "I don't know, Prime Minister Pei, just follow His Majesty's instructions."

After that, Li Fu turned and entered the palace.

The eunuchs outside the palace followed Li Fu in, and then the heavy palace door was closed. With a thud, Pei Ji's heart sank completely.

Pei Ji's eyes were cloudy, looking at the closed palace door. He wanted to get up, but found that his legs had been numb and had no feeling.

It was only half an hour of kneeling, but the time seemed so long that I couldn't feel the end...

Since knowing that Princess Linhai was confined to the Princess's Mansion, the servants of the Pei family have been asking around for the whereabouts of Lawyer Pei, but no one has given them clear news.

In Chang'an City, there are many people who change their minds according to the situation. Seeing that the Pei family is in such a state now, they dare not say anything more to the Pei family, for fear of involving themselves in this matter.

Who knows whether the court will "investigate the accomplices" and then make use of the issue?
