Chapter 59 Pei Ji's plan

Originally, the Liu family in Jingzhao and the Hou Mo Chen family were two levels apart. At that time, there were twelve halberds in front of Liu Wenjing's house, but there were three sets of halberds in front of the Hou Mo Chen family. The most were 16 halberds, 12 halberds, 12 halberds in Hou Mo Chen, 12 halberds in Hou Mo Chen, and 12 halberds in Hou Mo Chen. They were the first-class wealthy families in the world except for the royal family.

Hou Mo Chenying's fourth daughter married Dugu Xiao, the grandson of Gu Duduxin, as his wife. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, Yuan Dudu Xiao died of illness, and Mo Hou Chen Wenying was not born. With the consent of the Dugu family, he returned to Hou Mo Chen. Liu Shao originally thought that Hou Mo Chen Wenying was also a widow, so he asked Liu Wenjing to marry him as his wife, and Mo Hou Chen should agree.

It was a coincidence that Mo Hou Chen Rui was questioned and was sent to Lingnan. Liu Shao told Hou Mo Chen Rui very arrogantly, "You marry Hou Mo Chen Wenying to his son Liu Wenjing as his wife. He can help Hou Mo Chen Rui plead for mercy and avoid the pain of being amateur."

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but Hou Mo Chenrui suddenly became frustrated as soon as he said this. Hou Mo Chenrui was the kind of person who would rather starve to death than eat food given to him. Liu Shao's actions were suspected of being hurt. He should have rejected Liu Shao.

The forced Hou Mo Chen family refused to marry, and was regarded as a lifelong humiliation by Liu Wenjing.

Pei Ji also knew that he was in the same position as Liu Wenjing. As long as it was something he agreed with, Liu Wenjing would definitely object, no matter whether it was right or wrong. As long as it was something he opposed, no matter whether it was right or wrong, Liu Wenjing would agree. Of course, as long as it was someone recommended by Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing would pick on the bones in the eggs and do everything possible to obstruct them.

Before marrying the Chen family of Mohou, Pei Ji told Li Yuan that now, no one in the Tang Dynasty except Chen Ying. He was planning to recommend Hou Mo Chen's son Hou Mo Chenqian as the right chief of the Shangshu and discuss with the doctor.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it's too small!"

It can be said that the Hou Mo Chen family was even worse than the Li Mi family in the Sui Dynasty. Now the Hou Mo Chen family members all need to change their surnames before they can become officials. This is simply a shame for the eight pillars of the country. Li Yuan said: "The granting Hou Mo Chen Qian will inherit his father, Guangping County Duke, and the official title of Yin Qing Guanglu Dafu (equivalent to ****)."

After receiving Li Yuan's advice, Pei Ji's hypocritical Ministry of Personnel recommended Hou Mo Chenrui's son Hou Mo Chenqian to be the Yinqing Guanglu doctor.

In fact, this is just an official position with name but no real power, mainly equivalent to the emperor's consultant. The biggest advantage is that he can get a salary of nearly 4,000 guan a year.

Of course, Hou Mo and Chen Qian will not be short of this amount of money.

Originally, in the past, Li Yuan decided that Liu Wenjing would not overstep his authority, but when he saw that he was actually recommended by Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing was very displeased. Seeing that it was the name of Hou Mo Chen Qianhui, Liu Wenjing's new and old hatreds surged into his heart. Liu Wenjing waved his pen and called off the name of Mo Hou Chen Qianhui.

Pei Ji was not angry when he saw Hou Mo Chen Qian being hooked. Pei Ji deliberately pretended to threaten Liu Wenjing and said, "Secret Liu, you have to think clearly. It's still time to regret it now!"

Liu Wenjing was furious and said, "Don't take your down to suppress me. Today, I, Liu Wenjing, put my words here. As long as Liu Wenjing is in the prime minister for one day, Hou Mo Chen will not even think about entering the officialdom."

Pei Ji continued to add fuel to the fire, looking at Liu Wenjing provocatively and said, "Mo Hou Chen Qianhui is the candidate chosen by His Majesty..."

Before Pei Ji finished speaking, Liu Wenjing roared: "Unless Your Majesty dismissed Liu Wenjing from the local office and investigated it, I will be reluctant to obey my duty!"

The conversation between Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing in the Political Affairs Hall reached Li Yuan's ears that night. After hearing this, Li Yuan laughed furiously and said, "What a good minister, I am so ruthless, so ruthless!"

Pei Ji took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I ask you to retire and return to my hometown... I and Liu Xiang have caused the state affairs to be abandoned due to personal grudges, and the crime is beyond the reach of the great cause. For the sake of the country and the country, the old minister resigns."

Li Yuan became even more angry when he heard this: "Come here, arrest Liu Wenjing, look after the prison, and ask him if there is any emperor in his eyes..."

...

In Chengqian Palace, the staff of the Qin Prince's House sighed when they heard the whole story. I really don't know how Liu Wenjing became the prime minister. With such a low emotional intelligence, it would be unreasonable to die.

In fact, when Li Shimin heard this news, he was filled with despair. Li Yuan had already lost patience with Liu Wenjing, and Li Yuan was not afraid of Liu Wenjing fighting with Pei Ji. However, as long as he compared Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, he would definitely find that Liu Wenjing was digging a hole for himself.

As the deputy prime minister, it was a taboo for the ministers to participate in the seizure of the crown prince. Liu Wenjing not only participated, but also participated in the Qin King Li Shimin who held heavy troops. With Liu Wenjing's political power and Li Shimin's military power, they could not only defeat Li Jiancheng, but also easily undermine Li Yuan. This is one of the reasons why Liu Wenjing will die.

Of course, there is another point. Liu Wenjing's struggle with Pei Ji made him lose himself. In fact, Liu Wenjing was inferior. He knew that he was far from Pei Jisheng's favor, so he did not hesitate to attract allies, such as Li Mi, who was of noble origin and feared by Li Yuan. Internal and external connections were also the crime of a minister, and Liu Wenjing also committed a taboo of dying.

Then there is another point, the crime cannot be forgiven. Liu Wenjing is actually disobedient.

Because Changsun Wuji had a closer relationship with Li Shimin, he never had to be taboo. "Your Highness, it's better to have a few whirlpools in the Qin Palace."

Yu Zhining, a friend of the Qin Palace, said deeply: "Your Highness, this matter is too much involved. If you are not careful, it will cause trouble."

Fang Xuanling said, "Your Highness, the emperor recommends that you avoid the edge for the time being and make plans for the future."

Du Ruhui said: "I'm afraid I'm going to get out of here!"

Changsun Wuji said: "Du Zongjun, what do you mean?"

Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, the road to fighting for the throne is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you advance, you will be vast in the sky. If you retreat, you will be broken into pieces."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "What can I do? I can't help but do it!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes: "Your Highness, now Li Jiancheng's confidant Yang Wengan is the general manager of Qingzhou, Chen Ying controls Jiuzhou, Xu Shiji controls eleven states, and Jingzhou is controlled by Xue Wanche. Therefore, we must never let the prince's party establish merits."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, where are you going to place your own?"

"That's true, Your Highness!" Changsun Wuji said seriously: "Your Highness, you think it's a bad idea. Although you can't completely grab the credit for the Battle of Hedong, you can at least grab the majority of them."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling suddenly realized.

Changsun Wuji continued: "Now Princess Pingyang is trapped in Weize Pass. Once Chen Ying's son breaks through Yanmen Pass, he can not only recover Taiyuan, but also remove Princess Pingyang's siege. Therefore, he must rescue Princess Pingyang before Chen Ying."

Li Shimin said: "But there is no imperial edict in this palace and it cannot mobilize any army."

Fang Xuanling said: "Only one person is needed, then major events in Hedong are expected!"

"Who?" Li Shimin asked excitedly: "Who has such great ability?"
