Pei Ji and his son, lawyer Pei, came in a hurry.

Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei quickly saluted the old man, bowed and said, "Xuan Zhen (Pei Ji's name) pays respects to the leader!"

The old man in black didn't get up, and his body was a little weak, which counted as his return.

The old man in black looked at Pei Ji and said calmly: "Xuanzhen, the Supreme Emperor, how is your body?"

Pei Ji bowed and said: "Reporting to the leader, the Taishang Emperor's body is still good, but his spirit is not as good as before."

The old man in black sighed and said, "Ever since the Supreme Emperor was forced to abdicate, the world in Chang'an...is getting worse day by day.

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said, "Why should the leader worry about these trivial matters?"

The old man in black said solemnly: "If you don't have a country, you don't have a home. The East Palace is up and down, stealing power, doing things arbitrarily, and destroying the government. How can you and I be pure without seeing it?"

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said, "So what? Now in Chang'an City, all the handles of knives are held by the emperor."

The old man in black flicked his sleeves, and said righteously: "Why does justice need to use swords? To show off the power of swords is nothing more than the courage of a man. Now there is a severe drought in the world, famine in Guanzhong, and there are complaints from the government and the people. As long as Xuanzhen you Stand up and raise your arms..."

Pei Ji suddenly stood up with a straight face and said: "President, it's getting late, please come back."

The old man in black looked at Pei Ji in astonishment and murmured: "Xuanzhen, you..."

Pei Ji snorted coldly and said: "What the leader wants to do, I don't want to know, and I don't need to know. Come, see off!"

The old man in black walked away in a huff of sleeves, before walking at the door of the Nuan Pavilion, turned to look at Pei Ji and said, "Pei San, think carefully!"

Pei Ji proudly said: "Pei Ji thinks very clearly!"

The old man in black had a murderous look in his eyes, and he said with a ferocious expression: "Hello, Pei San!"

Saying that, the old man in black turned and left.

Lawyer Pei quietly walked to Pei Ji's side, and said with a worried face: "Father, the president is right, why...

Pei Ji turned around and gave Lawyer Pei a look, and said solemnly: "The emperor is no longer Wuxia Amon, the East Palace counselors are like a cloud, and the generals are like rain. Now, they have incorporated the old Ministry of the King of Qin, and they will be the leader of them. It's easy to think. Head-to-head , there is only one end, death and family extinction."

Lawyer Pei said angrily: "Everyone in the world can't do anything to him?"

Pei Ji sneered and said: "In the blood change of Xuanwu Gate, the King of Qin eradicated the left guard of the Supreme Emperor, and all the kings of the Li clan stood on the opposite side of the Supreme Emperor. Don't you understand? The Supreme Emperor has supported the East Palace and Qin Palace all these years. Fighting each other, losing hearts, this is..."

Pei Ji thought for a while, but in the end, he still didn't say that he would die if he did many injustices.

However, it is true that Li Yuan is now to blame.

Because, Li Shimin fought with Li Jiancheng and was forced to return to Hebei and Jianghuai successively. Because of these two military disasters, hundreds of thousands of people died, millions of people were homeless, and suffered heavy losses.

If there were no two disasters that could have been avoided, how could Chang'an have come to this?

Just like the current food crisis, Chen Ying saw through the market rules of later generations that someone was making trouble in the Guanzhong grain market. Although Pei Ji didn't understand economics, he sensed that someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble from the undercurrent in Chang'an City. .

Pei Ji actually guessed wrong, he thought Li Shimin was standing behind the leader.

Don't look at the undercurrents in Chang'an now, but Pei Ji saw that the entire Emperor Li Tang was on Li Jiancheng's side. At least even if Li Yuan stepped forward, Li Tang's clan would definitely provide a million shi of grain for Li Yuan to use.

Now, Li Shimin has lost righteousness, and his only chance to replace him is to kill all those who oppose Li Shimin with a knife, so that Li Shimin can regain the throne.

However, this is impossible.At the beginning, Chen Ying alone could make hundreds of thousands of guards and soldiers in Qin Wangfu dare not move. With Chen Ying, Li Shimin had no chance, even if he united with the Turks, he still had no chance.

……

The carriage left Pei's mansion and proceeded slowly along the lane.

Yuan's retinue bowed and said: "Pei Ji is too ignorant of flattery, do you want to give him some color..."

The old man in black shook his head and said: "Now, our war has just begun, and it is not yet known who will win the battle. Pei Ji is a smart person, and he will not scatter eagles when he sees a rabbit. As long as he sees that Li Jiancheng's failure is inevitable, he will definitely make a choice!"

The unmarked carriage walked crookedly along the lane, and gradually entered the backyard of Prince Qi's Mansion.

In the backyard of Prince Qi's Mansion, the old man in black just entered.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji rushed up to greet him and said, "Mr. Yuwen, how are you doing?"

Yu Wenhuaji shook his head and said, "Pei San is not confused yet!"

Li Yuanji's face turned down in an instant: "Pei Ji, old man, do you want to court death?

Yu Wenhuaji said with a faint smile: "If we lose this battle, Pei Ji will naturally refuse; if we win, he will definitely have scruples, whether it is for the merits of the dragon or for the benefit of the family, he will Will make a wise choice!"

Li Yuanji nodded suspiciously.

Yu Wenhuaji smiled and said: "Your Highness, if you want to achieve great things, you must rescue the same two people!"

Li Yuanji asked without hesitation: "Who?"

Yu Wenhuaji said: "Changsun Wuji and Du Yan, since Li Jiancheng will pardon Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan, it is also possible to pardon Changsun Wuji and Du Yan!"

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "These two people are not famous, but they also have the ability to govern the country. What's the use of them?"

Yu Wenhuaji said: "An enemy's enemy is a friend. Although Changsun Wuji and Du Yan did not accomplish enough, they did more than fail...Your Highness should tell the two of them that regardless of their past, they will definitely make a decision!"

……

Inside the Lizheng Hall of Taiji Palace, the lights are bright.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with a tired face and said, "Is it the same in Fangzhou and Danzhou?"

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "All of the more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Guanlong are like this. The guard of Tongguan has already closed the city, and all the disaster victims in Guanzhong are blocked in the pass. If we don't find a way quickly, this month, Guanzhong will be killed." Starting to change sons to eat, one hundred thousand people will starve to death under His Majesty's eyes."

Li Jiancheng covered his face with his hands in pain and said, "There is no food in Chang'an's treasury and warehouses."

Li Jiancheng raised his head resentfully and said: "For three years, three years of good harvests, and now even Guanzhong has to run out of grain, and more than 400 million shi grains have disappeared from the account. The officials of the court have hardly done any serious business. Damn."

Wei Zheng looked on coldly and said, "If you want to say damn it, the first one to die is the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in astonishment.

Wei Zheng said with a cold face: "For three years, the Supreme Emperor has encouraged His Majesty to compete with the abolished King of Qin for the reserve position, causing panic among the government and the wild. All officials, civil and military, are busy with party disputes, leading to neglect and slack in political affairs. How could it be that there is no food for disaster relief?"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Fang Xuanling looked anxiously at Jian Jian with a sad face.

Li Jiancheng sat behind the table, flipping through the memorials one by one.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "If we want to solve the hunger of the people in Guanzhong, how much food do we need at least?"

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "That depends on your majesty, how far you want to solve it."
