Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Pei Ji was horrified and couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, he and the Supreme Emperor were close friends, and he didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would hide it from him.

I only heard Xiao Yu say coldly: "Because this is a matter of killing the heads of the nine clans, the Supreme Emperor repeatedly ordered me not to tell you. A danger."

Pei Ji muttered to himself: "The Supreme Emperor, you, Liang Shidao, Shuzhou, are plotting a big event secretly."

Suddenly, Pei Ji's cloudy old eyes glowed with brilliance, and he shouted out of fear: "Could it be that in the second year of Zhenguan, when the Supreme Emperor celebrated his birthday, the old man dragged you and me to leak the truth in his bedroom while he was drunk?" thing?"

Xiao Yu nodded with a wry smile and said, "Master Pei still guessed it. Alas, I also miscalculated. I actually set such a hidden and important place at the foot of Manglong Mountain in Shuzhou, and let Liang Shidao, an idiot, Sit in Shuzhou for me. This time, something really big will happen."

Pei Ji no longer responded to Xiao Yu's words, but paced around in the study alone, with worry under his frightened face, and tremblingly said to himself: "Master Xiao, you are so confused, you are so secretive!" It is located in the territory of Shuzhou. Now, if His Royal Highness the King of Shu has other plans for the feudal Shuzhou, then the lives of our old ministers of Wude, and even the lives of the Supreme Emperor, are all in the hands of that idiot Liang Shidao .”

Suddenly, Pei Ji stopped pacing, stomped his feet heavily towards Xiao Yu, raised his hand and blamed bitterly: "Confused, you are confused, Xiao Yu, you, you are really...cough cough..."

Chapter 664 I cheated Xiang

"Cough cough cough..."

How could Pei Ji stand such excitement at his age?He bent down, covered his mouth with his right hand and coughed violently, so loud that he almost coughed out his lungs.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly walked out of the desk, came to Pei Ji's side, patted his back to calm him down, and asked with concern, "Master Pei? How are you? Are you okay?"

Pei Ji shook his shoulders vigorously, knocked off Xiao Yu's hand on his back, looked at him with a livid face, and said in a hateful voice: "Don't worry, the old man's bones are still strong, and he can support Xiao Pushe until the end of the day." When he was beheaded by the emperor to show the public, when he ransacked his family and exterminated his family."

Pei Ji enjoys a high reputation among the old ministers of Wude, whether it is age, qualifications or personal relationship with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, he is undoubtedly the leader of the old ministers of Wude.

Even though his actual power in the court is not as great as that of Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu still has to respect him as an old man.

Xiao Yu naturally didn't take Pei Ji's resentment to heart.We are all on the same boat now, and this big boat is in danger of capsizing and sinking, how could he have the heart to argue with Pei Ji.

Then he smiled bitterly and said in relief: "Master Pei, maybe the matter is not as serious as you and I imagined. Maybe the King of Shu hasn't discovered the clues of Manglong Mountain, or maybe Liang Shidao can handle the affairs of Shuzhou well? Just relax, or I'll write a letter and have someone send it to Liang Shidao day and night?"

"No, it's too late!"

Pei Ji was smooth, and spoke a lot more sharply. He shook his head and vetoed: "Master Xiao, the hidden place in Manglong Mountain is related to the life and death of you and me, and also related to the safety of the Supreme Emperor. You can't take any chances. What if that place is really exposed to the world? It’s too late to regret it!! As for your protege Liang Shidao, the governor of Shuzhou, I don’t expect him to do anything, heh, waste, idiot, can’t be reused!”

Xiao Yu also knew that Liang Shidao was a stupid pig, and hated Liang Shidao's inability to do things, but he still couldn't hold back when he heard Pei Ji belittle his disciples so much.

Immediately, the voice was a little blunt and asked: "Then according to the opinion of the boss, how to remedy it now?"

Pei Ji shook his head and said: "Now we have to go to the palace to visit the old man, the Supreme Emperor, and listen to what he thinks. Before the matter in Shuzhou and other places has been stabbed to Chang'an, we will buy time to work out a contingency strategy with the Supreme Emperor Come."

Xiao Yu pointed to her nose and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, you mean that I will also enter the palace with you?"

Pei Ji snorted and said, "Lord Xiao, this incident happened because of you, maybe you want to escape? Besides, Liang Shidao is your protégé, and only you can determine his life and death. People have the right to choose to abandon their sons. The authorities do not judge the situation, how can the bystanders give their opinions?"

hiss……

Xiao Yu felt a little cold all over, this Pei Ji really looked kind and kind as always, but he was full of poisonous thoughts.He couldn't help but feel a little regretful and said, it seems that Liang Shidao is... oh... self-inflicted, idiot!

Immediately, he nodded and replied: "Okay, I will enter the palace with you, my lord, and go to see the Supreme Emperor and his old man together."

Pei Ji groaned, shook off his wide-sleeved robe, opened the door first and walked out of the study.

Xiao Yu yelled that my lord is waiting for me, and hurriedly followed, the two of them left the Xiao mansion together, and along the way, many people in the Xiao mansion who were doing the last seven dharma tasks were startled.

……

……

As the night slowly fell, Pei Ji and Xiao Yu, two old martial arts officials, entered the palace at night, preparing to meet the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

At the same time, on the side of Shuzhou, Yu Kui was ordered by Liang Shidao to come to see His Highness the King of Shu.

Today's Shu King Li Ke's camp still temporarily lives in the residence of Duwei Zhechong in Shuzhou, which is Yu Kui's old den.

Yu Kui came over before dinner, but was blocked by Liu Zhenxuan at the gate of Zhechong Duwei's mansion for a long time.

It's ridiculous to say that this Captain's Mansion is Yu Kui's old nest, but now it has been shut down since dusk until now it's dark.

During this period of time, he made at least six requests to Liu Zhenxuan, asking to go in and meet His Highness the King of Shu.

But Liu Zhenxuan, the captain of the personal army, didn't give him any face, and rejected his application for entry six times in a row.

Either it was inferred that His Royal Highness Shu was taking a nap, or that His Royal Highness Shu was eating and it was inconvenient to disturb him. In the end, he even moved out the bad reason that His Royal Highness Shu was going to the toilet.

Yu Kui could see that Liu Zhenxuan, the little Lieutenant Zhiguo, deliberately prevented him from going in to see the King of Shu.

Of course, he would not foolishly think that Liu Zhenxuan dared to embarrass him so many times. On the contrary, he knew very well that Liu Zhenxuan was only following orders, following the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, intentionally embarrassing himself and not allowing himself to pay homage.

Ugh……

Yu Kui stood at the door dumbfounded, and sighed in his heart, this is all retribution, Governor Liang did everything possible to make things difficult for him, but now he is begging the King of Shu.

Seeing the night getting darker and the hour getting later and later, the closed door drum at the gate of Shuzhou City has faintly sounded, and it is almost one o'clock.

Most likely, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is determined not to meet him today.

No way, Yu Kui had no choice but to turn around and go back home, constantly complaining about Liang Shidao's bastard.If it wasn't for this silly bird surnamed Liang, how could he lose face in front of a small Captain Zhiguo today?In front of others, he is like a stray dog, holding his breath, embarrassing!

Not far away, Yu Kui suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

He turned around and saw a soldier dressed like a soldier of the Governor's Mansion running over, clasped his hands and shouted: "Captain Yu, my lord is here to welcome you!"

"what?"

Yu Kui was overjoyed, and said happily, "Your Highness has promised to see the official?"

The soldiers and soldiers shook their heads and said, "It's not His Royal Highness the King of Shu who wants to see you, but my parent, Mr. Shi, who wants to see you. Here—"

The soldiers turned around and raised their arms, pointing to a restaurant not far behind, and said: "My family, Guo Changshi, has already set up a private room on the second floor of the restaurant. He said he would invite you to have a glass of water and wine for a chat. Wei rewards the light."

Isn't Guo Changshi Guo Ye?

Yu Kui thought suspiciously, I have never met him before, and we have never met him before, why did he invite me to drink for no reason?

Forget it, seeing that His Highness the King of Shu still seems to be relying on this person, why not have a glass of water and wine with him and ask him to help introduce His Highness the King of Shu.Otherwise, Liang Shidao's errand could not be completed, and he would inevitably be scolded again when he went back.

Immediately, he nodded and responded: "Okay, you lead the way. Captain Ben will follow you to see Guo Changshi."

Soon, the soldiers took Yu Kui to the restaurant.

After entering the wine shop and going up to the second floor, the soldiers opened the door of the private room, said please, and went down to the second floor by themselves.

Entering the private room, Yu Kui saw that Guo Ye was looking at him with a smile. This smile was a bit sinister, still, still... so fake.

When he came to the table, Yu Kui pulled a wooden stool and sat down on it. He greeted Guo Ye: "Guo Changshi is very elegant, and now the city of Shuzhou is in chaos. You are still interested in inviting someone Yu drink wine."

Guo Ye placed two cups in front of Yu Kui, picked up the jug and slowly poured water and wine for him, and said casually: "If Shuzhou is in chaos, why should Guo be shut? The civil affairs of the city are handled by Governor Liang, while the public security of Shuzhou City is under the jurisdiction of Captain Yu, so it seems that everything has nothing to do with me, right?"
