Wei Zheng in the Jinluan Palace said to Li Shimin: "Emperor Qiqi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wei really found a secret room in Pei Lian's mansion. ”

"Have you ever found the fake Shang Fanggong that Li Tai said?" Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng.

"I found it, not only found the fake Shang Fanggong, but also found countless rare treasures." Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin.

"Father, the son has already asked Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing to bring those rare treasures to the palace. Father Emperor will soon be able to see it. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Pei Lian, the matter has come to this, do you have anything else to say?" Li Shimin said to Pei Lin with an angry face.

"Your Majesty, it is the minister who is fascinated for a while, and I ask the emperor to spare the minister this time." Pei Lin kowtowed to Li Shimin like pounding garlic.

"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what you have done is enough to be copied and killed. However, I remember that you have the power to follow the dragon, and I will absolve you of the death penalty. Go back to your hometown and live your old age. Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill." Pei Lin immediately thanked him and said. In fact, Pei Lin also knows that this ending is definitely the best now.

At this time, a yellow gate official came to report. said that Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing were waiting outside the palace with a carriage.

"Let them in, I also want to see what good things Pei Lin has collected." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

Not long after, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing walked in, first made a great salute to Li Shimin, and then said: "Your Majesty, the two of us were ordered by the King of Wei to transport the rare treasures found from Pei Lian's mansion to the palace. Now the carriage is parked outside the palace gate. ”

"Since it's a rare treasure, let's bring it up and open my eyes." Li Shimin said to the two brothers Yu Chi Baolin.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Emperor needs to move to watch. After all, the number is too large, if it is displayed one by one in the Jinluan Palace. I'm afraid there is no time to finish. Yu Chi Baolin said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Yu Chi Baolin's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that this Pei Lin was really scraped, and such a huge number of rare treasures could not be achieved.

So Li Shimin took the civil and military officials and walked out of the Jinluan Palace. And let Yu Chi Baolin drive the carriage outside the Jinluan Palace.

In a short time, a carriage appeared in front of everyone, and the carriage contained several huge wooden boxes.

Li Shimin ordered someone to open the wooden box, and a piece of rare treasures appeared in front of everyone. After Li Shimin walked over, he picked up a few casually.

After reading it, Li Shimin suddenly said angrily to Pei Lian: "I remember that you have the skill of following the dragon, and I am ready to let you go." But I didn't expect you to be so greedy and pervert the law, and dare to hide the things of the previous dynasty in your home. ”

It turned out that the few things that Li Shimin picked up were all treasures belonging to the Great Sui Palace. It can be said that Pei Lin has completely violated the taboo this time.

"Come on, press Pei Lin into prison for me. He was severely tortured by Dali Temple. After the culpability is verified, the crime is to be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law. Li Shimin said angrily.

"Father, please calm your anger. The son has a sentence to say to his father. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Something to say to your face." Li Shimin said coldly. It can be seen from Li Shimin's tone that he is in anger at this time.

"Father, the son feels that Pei Lin should be upheld. As the saying goes, there is no joke. Just now, the father had pardoned Pei Lian. ”

"If the Dali Temple is thoroughly investigated now, I am afraid that some people will say that the father and the emperor have rebelled. And said that the father unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and indiscriminately killed the founding heroes. Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"What he has done, it is not a great sin. How can I spare him like this? If the other ministers are the same, then the Tang Dynasty is not in a mess. Li Shimin angrily rebuked Li Tai.

Li Tai came to Li Chengqian's side and whispered to Li Chengqian: "Brother Huang, don't you want to intercede with your father for Pei Lian." ”

Although Li Tai didn't speak loudly, others could still hear it. So everyone looked at Li Chengqian.

To say that Li Chengqian's reaction was also very fast, he immediately said to Li Shimin: "Father, the emperor's brother is right, my father can't go back on his word." But my father also said that he could not set a precedent on this matter. ”

"But the father can confiscate all of Pei Lian's assets and let his family leave Chang'an City cleanly. Then no one will say anything. ”

"Father, the emperor's brother is reasonable. I also asked my father to forgive Pei Lian. Li Tai said.

At the same time, other ministers also began to intercede for Pei Lian, and Li Shimin couldn't let go of it at first. Later, Li Shimin's personal eunuch whispered in Li Shimin's ear.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Pei Lian, today I look at the face of the Emperor Taishang, spare you from death." Just do what the prince wants. ”

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Pei Lin hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked Li Shimin. At the same time, I did not forget to thank Emperor Li Yuan.

The matter finally came to an end, and Li Shimin also returned to the harem angrily. The joy of getting the Chixiao Sword was gone, of course, gone.

One by one, the civil and military officials looked at Pei Lin with pitiful eyes, and then left the palace one after another. And Pei Lin was also escorted back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

Prime Minister's Office.

"Prime Minister Pei, do you regret it at this point?" Li Tai said while pouring wine for Pei Lian.

"King Wei came to see the old man's jokes, or did he come to practice them for the old man. If you're here to see the old man's jokes, you can leave now. If it's for the old man to practice, then the old man really can't stand it. Pei Lin said with his back to Li Tai.

"Today, this king is indeed here to practice for Prime Minister Pei. This king will not ask Prime Minister Pei why he will oppose this king everywhere. Because this king is very clear in his heart, just like Prime Minister Pei. Therefore, Prime Minister Pei can drink with confidence. Li Tai said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that the one who came to practice for the old man today would be the old man's sworn enemy, Li Tai, King of Wei." Pei Lin said self-deprecatingly.

"But this king really has one thing to ask Prime Minister Pei. It's the people who built the secret room for you, and whether they can still be found now. Li Tai said to Pei Lian.

"Why, could it be that King Wei also wants to build a secret room. As far as the old man knows, King Wei's Wei Wangfu has been built like an iron wall. Pei Lin said to Li Tai.

"You don't have to worry about what this king is going to do. All you have to do is tell the king if you can't find it. Take it as a thank you gift from the king for your meal. "Li Tai got it to Pei Lian.

"Indeed, if it weren't for King Wei to intercede for the old man first, it is estimated that the old man would be in a different place by now. Now add this practice. How could the old man not say it? After Pei Lin smiled bitterly twice, he said to Li Tai.

"This king will never take the benefits of people for no reason, as long as the other party is according to what Prime Minister Pei said, this king can find the Jing family. The second half of Prime Minister Pei's life was worry-free. Li Tai said to Pei Lian.
