Although Pei Lin confessed his guilt, he immediately excused himself from his past achievements.It's good that he didn't mention this stubble, but as soon as he mentioned this stubble, Li Shimin's face suddenly became gloomy.Li Shimin immediately reprimanded Pei Lian: "How can you mix up merit and demerits, you had some small merits in the past, but the imperial court has already paid you with high-ranking officials."
Besides, when it comes to your merits and talents, it is simply not enough to match your current status and the preferential treatment given to you by the imperial court.In the past, you were ranked first, but it was just the Emperor's special honor to you.You don't want to be grateful for your service, but you are proud of your achievements, in the face of your sins, you still want to take credit for your past achievements, what is the difference between this and what you said when you discussed Liu Wenjing's crime in the second year of Wude Zhao Yunze said that you have no virtue as a minister, this is not false at all" When Pei Lin heard Li Shimin mention Liu Wenjing, he was immediately shocked, and his whole body trembled.Back then, he used Liu Wenjing's arrogant, domineering and insidious slander, and he would rebel one day to trap Liu Wenjing for the death penalty.Now, Li Shimin compares him with Liu Wenjing, does he have to punish him for capital crimes, Pei Lin regrets it, he knew that today, why did he frame Liu Wenjing back then.There is a good saying, other people's today, how can it not be their own tomorrow.Retribution For a while, Pei was speechless, and the needle drop in the hall was quiet.Li Shimin was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "According to the sins committed by your Pei Lian, I should hand you over to Dali Temple for discussion and punishment."
But I'm not you.You can not remember the past relationship with Liu Wenjing and trap him in death, but I want to remember the love with your monarch and ministers.You are also an important minister of the country, and you are a lot older, if you are handed over to Dali Temple to discuss the crime, it will definitely damage your reputation for a lifetime.You should resign yourself and return to your hometown to retire. ”"Minister, thank you for your grace" Pei Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Shimin did not plan to go through the legal process to punish his crimes.After pondering, Pei Lin said again: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, and he can't bear the long-distance fatigue of returning home, can he still live in Chang'an after resigning" Hehe, he still has to inch in, Li Shimin is happy: "Pei Lian, people must be content in order to be happy."
It is a great grace for you to resign, to enjoy the treatment of Zhishi, and to keep your food and glory, and you should not think about him anymore. ”"The minister's order" Pei Lin responded helplessly.In fact, Pei Lian's fate is much better than in the original history.Originally, in history, he was cut by half by Li Shimin and expelled from the court.And now, he asked him to resign himself, and he kept all his food.Until this time, the ministers in the court had not come to their senses.Pei Lin is down, the plot of this drama is a bit dizzying, and when I think about it again, everyone is relieved.Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with Pei Lin has not been a day or two, and he finally grabbed Pei Lian's handle and dealt with Pei Lian's whereabouts."
Pei Aiqing, if you have nothing else to do, then go home and write a resignation."
Li Shimin said to Pei Lin again.When the dust settled, he called Pei Lin "Aiqing" again."
The minister retreated" Pei Lin bowed to Li Shimin again, got up and walked outside the hall.His figure looked quite lonely."
Wait a minute," Li Shimin suddenly stopped Pei Lin again."
What else does Your Majesty want," Pei Lin asked, turning around.Li Shimin said: "The Emperor Taishang was angry with the demon monk Faya yesterday, and his body was sick.Pei Qing didn't bother his old man anymore. ”This sentence is equivalent to blocking Pei Lian's last road to dependence.Originally, Pei Lin really wanted to go to Li Yuan to intercede for him."
Obey the order" Pei Lin responded, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.The temple fell silent again.The ministers were in a complicated mood at this time.There are those who pity Pei Lonely, there are those who gloat, and there are those who have nothing to do with their own indifferent faces."
Where are the Dali Siqing, the Imperial Doctor, and the Secretary of the Criminal Department?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked.The three ministers came out of the class and saluted Li Shimin together: "The ministers are here" and "The three of you will retry the old case of Liu Wenjing in the second year of Wude, so as to seek justice" Li Shimin said.As soon as the ministers heard the "Obey the Order", they immediately understood that the emperor was trying to rehabilitate Liu Wenjing.The dividing line Zhao Yunze's twists and turns were able to overthrow Pei Lian, all because of his foresight.That's the advantage of the traverser.And Pei Lin can be rectified, but it is not all because of Falla's case, but Li Shimin has long had the intention to rectify him.Zhao Yunze's twists and turns were just a fire.However, it can also be seen from this that Pei Lian's usual popularity, Li Shimin's cadres were arbitrary, and they decided Pei Lian's fate with one word, and there were so many ministers in the court, but no one pleaded for Pei Lian.Pei Lian's popularity is really not good.When all this happened in the court, Zhao Yunze was going through the formalities for the transfer of official positions with people in the martial arts hall.Zhao Yunze now holds three official ministries, namely the Lecture Hall Chengshizhong, the Secret Service Agency, and the Captain of the Imperial Sword Special Operations Brigade.The ministry in the Wutang Cheng Shi was taken over by Ma Zhou; The post of Secret Service was handed over to Yu Tianyou, the commander of Li Shimin's guards; Because the Imperial Sword Special Operations Brigade was going to follow Zhao Yunze to Shicheng County, the position of captain was still led by Zhao Yunze.After Zhao Yunze learned about today's incident in the court, his mood was actually very flat.In Zhao Yunze's view, he just sent Pei Lin away from the path of fate in the original history.But other court officials will not be as indifferent as Zhao Yunze.They were already afraid of Zhao Yunze.This seven-grade official, must not be underestimated, with a letter of folding, to bring down the first high-ranking official of the court in court, not to mention in the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, even in those dynasties in ancient times, I have not seen this kind of example, take Liu Wenjing's case as an example, the emperor was so trusting to Pei Lin back then, and he still sent officials to try Liu Wenjing, and it took a lot of time to convict Liu Wenjing.But Pei Lin is good, from Xiao Yu presenting Zhao Yunze's twists and turns to Pei Lin being "sent off" out of the Taiji Hall by Li Shimin, according to this, most officials have already determined that Zhao Yunze's twists and turns must have been instructed by His Majesty the Emperor.But having said that, there are so many high-ranking officials and ministers, His Majesty the Emperor is not looking for them, but looking for Zhao Yunze, a small seven-rank official, it can be seen that Zhao Yunze is already in the emperor's heart.Don't look at His Majesty the Emperor's demotion of Zhao Yunze's official, it's just for others to see.This Zhao County Commander, I'm afraid it won't take long to return to Beijing.Moreover, official positions will be promoted.It is precisely because there are too many smart officials in Datang who think too much that Zhao Yunze's status has risen a lot in the minds of officials.So much so that when Zhao Yunze left Beijing, many court officials spontaneously saw him off.On the other hand, Pei Lin has become a fallen phoenix, and almost no one pays attention to him.Who dares to deal with Pei Lian, but his old man has been characterized by His Majesty the Emperor as "the virtue of no one and has no ministers", and whoever wants to get close to him again, then this person will also become "the virtue of no one and no ministers".The demon monk Faya was finally convicted by the Criminal Department for misleading the public with evil words, and sentenced to life in prison with hard labor.Liu Wenjing, who has been dead for more than ten years, was finally rehabilitated a few days after Pei Lian's incident.Li Shimin regained his official position and honor.A storm ended with Zhao Yunze's complete victory.And Zhao Yunze has also embarked on a new journey.End of Volume II:
