Chapter 53: The words are not surprising

Pei Min entered and left the imperial city like his own back garden. Not to mention traveling freely, he could also freely enter and exit most areas outside the harem.

Li Longji had just finished his morning court and was reading memorials in the back hall of Tai Chi Palace to handle government affairs.

When he learned that Pei Min was asking for a meeting, he smiled and welcomed him into the back hall.

"Jingyuan is not at home with Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, why do you have time to come to me?" Li Longji just glanced at Pei Min, said casually, and then turned his eyes to the memorial in front of him.

He was looking at the spring plowing situation reported by local people. As a farming nation, spring plowing is the most important season of the year and has a great impact.

Whether spring plowing is smooth can directly affect the autumn harvest. It is a top priority for the country and the people and should not be underestimated.

Pei Min smiled and said, "I came to see you because I don't want to miss a good show, and I also want to invite Your Majesty to see a not-so-good show."

Li Longji couldn't help but look up and said, "What medicine do you sell in this gourd?"

Pei Min said: "It's not fun to say it. Please keep me away. Your Majesty might as well wait patiently for a moment."

Li Longji had something to do, so he didn't rush to continue watching the memorial and handling government affairs at this moment.

From time to time, I also discussed some current affairs with Pei Min.

After being tempered by Taozhou, Pei Min also has a certain administrative level and is able to deal with it easily.

Li Longji has no military talent, but his administrative level is extremely high. He is quite surprised by Pei Min's administrative level.

About half an hour!

News of Wang Maozhong and Gao Guangji asking for a meeting came outside the house.

Gao Lishi glanced at Pei Min.

Li Longji also glanced at Pei Min and said, "What has this idiot done?"

Wang Maozhong was his slave in his early years, and he still knew a little about Wang Maozhong. However, he was indulgent in the transition of people he trusted. Even though he knew that Wang Maozhong had certain problems, he still trusted him very much and was very kind.

Pei Min said, "If I guess correctly, the two of them will come to sue me. They say that my subordinates are not strict and have no rules in discipline, they indulge their subordinates, commit crimes in the streets, and beat the imperial officials."

Li Longji calmly opened his face and asked Gao Lishi Xuan Wang Mao Zhong and Gao Guangji to enter the palace.

Wang Maozhong strode into the hall, but Gao Guangji limped, with cloth strips hanging on his hands and wooden blocks tied, looking extremely miserable.

When the two saw Pei Min on the side, they saw Li Longji's expression again and shouted: "Not good!" They actually asked Pei Min to "the evil man complained first."

The two of them said hello to Li Longji first.

Li Longji looked at His Highness’s two and said, “What do you want to say?”

Wang Maozhong said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Pei Min's one-sided words. He is trying to cover up his mistakes and reverse right and wrong."

Li Longji slapped the table and said angrily: "What nonsense is it? Pei Qing didn't say anything. But you, for no reason, are you, inexplicably criticizing important officials in the court. What is the purpose of?"

Wang Maozhong was stunned.

Gao Guangji was also confused.

Then Gao Guangji wailed and knelt down slightly tremblingly, saying, "Duke Pei is not strict in his rule, and he instigated his subordinates to beat the gentle ministers in the street, so that he would be disgraced and have no dignity in front of his subordinates. Your Majesty, you should make the decision for me!"

Li Longji remembered Pei Min's previous words and was a little funny. He frowned again and said angrily: "What happened?"

Gao Guangji asked, "I had an argument with Guo Wenbin, the subordinate of Duke Pei, and had a dispute. But Li Yide punched me to the ground for no reason..." He said, and pulled open his front, revealing the purple seal on his chest, and then said with a little crying voice: "There are many people, so I am not the opponent. When I returned to the camp, my subordinates were angry, so I gathered to ask for an explanation for me. However, Li Yide, Guo Wenbin, Jiang Yue, and Li Siye were lawless and arrogant to the extreme. Without saying a word, he rushed forward. He interrupted his hands and feet, and his subordinates were even more miserable. Nearly ten people were seriously injured, and there was even a possibility of incursion. There were many broken hands and feet."

Li Longji stood up and said, "Why is it so serious?"

He thought that even a fight was under certain control. He didn't expect that there would be more than a dozen serious injuries, and there was still the danger of incursion. There were many broken hands and feet, how fierce the fight was?

Wang Maozhong said angrily: "Your Majesty, this grudge is so serious, which shows how arrogant the Duke's subordinates are. At the feet of the Chang'an emperor, even so, the emperor in Taozhou is far away. You can even think about how lawless they are."

Li Longji looked at Wang Maozhong, Gao Guangji, then looked at Pei Min who was beside Yue Zhenyuan, and said, "Does Pei Qing have any explanation?"

Pei Min said calmly: "When you go back to Your Majesty, I don't know the situation, I just listened to a rough idea. But I don't believe what Li Yide, Guo Wenbin, Jiang Yue and Li Siye said, so I need to check it. The four generals said that the four of them killed two hundred Right Guards in just a few cups of tea, and I think it's unreliable. In a few cups of tea, even two hundred chickens could not be killed. They killed two hundred Right Guards? Could it be that my Tang Dynasty guards the imperial city and protects His Majesty's soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not even as good as chickens? So I was curious and wanted to ask General Gao to tell me why the four people under me chased two hundred people in the time of tea?"

He looked confused.

Gao Guangji blushed.

While Li Longji was a little angry, he couldn't help laughing. Not to mention what happened, he could beat four people in two hundred times, and he could lose all of them? He still lost neatly?

Wang Maozhong said angrily: "Your Majesty, look! Duke Pei was still making a fuss about the argument at this time, not repentance, and forced to break the topic! Who doesn't know that Li Yide, under Duke Pei, is brave and good at fighting, and has the courage to be unfair to thousands of men! They are indeed powerful, but it is not an excuse for them to be domineering."

"I don't deny this!" Pei Min nodded and said, "I don't deny that Li Yide, Guo Wenbin, Jiang Yue and Li Siye are rare talents, including Feng Changqing, Kendrick, and Wang Xiaobai who are still in Moliyi. They are all key points to the help of the ministers who were able to regain the Jiuqu land of Hexi. No matter when, I will not deny their abilities, achievements and contributions. But this is definitely not an excuse and reason for the incompetence of the Right Guards!"

"His Majesty!"

"Think about it! If a thousand Tubo soldiers and horses marched straight into the hinterland of Guanzhong, is this group of Tubo soldiers too powerful, or is the guards too incompetent?"
