Chapter 654: The white face and the fat man are always happy to meet

On the third day after the Yanyun army besieged Chang'an, Pei Ji went out of the city to meet King Yan Li Xian and King Hedong Li Chengde. Li Xian used the green peach to test Pei Ji, and Pei Ji also guessed the idea of ​​King Yan from these remarks. He was a firm supporter of Li Yuan's rebellion. At that time, he was the Jinyang Palace. The food, grass, supplies, armor and equipment needed for Li Yuan's rebellion came from Jinyang Palace. His great contribution was even more than the old ministers of the Tang Duke's Mansion such as Changsun Shunde and Chen Yinshou.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan attaches great importance to him. Although Li Yuan hated that the aristocratic family was too powerful, he also knew that it would be difficult to accomplish without the support of the aristocratic family. The main reason why he attacked Chang'an like a bamboo shoot from the day he started to launch a war and established the Tang Dynasty to replace the Sui Dynasty was because he received the support of the Guanlong family. Financial, human and material resources. If these aristocratic families were not on his side, Li Yuan would never be able to sit on that chair and call me.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan used Li Shimin's rebellion to clean up the court and still did not dare to attack the aristocratic families that were truly on the table. Those small families who relied on their achievements as a domineering as dragons should be killed and beaten, but the current situation of the Tang Dynasty's main aristocratic family is not dared to move.

Pei Ji is a representative figure of the aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty. It is not only Li Yuan knows what weight he has in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Xian also knows it, so he told Pei Ji that the Qing Tao Theory.

Pei Ji couldn't help but sigh on the way back to the city. It was only a few years later that he could not have faced a time of need to make a decision again. When he was in Taiyuan, he stood decisively on Li Yuan's side, devoted all the reserves of Jinyang Palace to help Li Yuan raise an army, and brought him a new peak for the Pei family. Now, as a wise man, no official of the Tang Dynasty could be his rightful. Now it is another time to make a decision, but this time it is much more difficult than when he was in Taiyuan.

Pulling the curtains of the car window, Pei Ji looked at the withered but shriveled wheat on both sides of the official road and sighed. Thinking of what Li Xian said before, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Li Xian is a person who is very good at taking advantage of the situation. Pei Ji even thinks that Li Xian's vision is better than Li Yuan and his methods of doing things are more decisive.

Green Tao...

He murmured and repeated these two words, his eyes flashing more and more.

After entering Chang'an City, the carriage rushed directly towards Tai Chi Palace. Pei Ji did not dare to delay. The emperor was still waiting for his news, but the problem was that he did not bring back any news. Li Xian held Li Chengde, the son of the prince, hostage, Li Chengde, and took the banner of clearing the lord's side. However, Pei Ji walked to Yanyun's army, but Li Xian did not mention any conditions at all. Pei Ji knew why Li Xian didn't mention it, because he had no conditions at all. It can also be said that from beginning to end, the King of Yan only had one condition. Pick the largest peach on the peach tree in the emperor's yard, and the peach seemed to be ripe now...

He felt a headache when he thought that King Yan was too lazy to think about it himself.

After entering Tai Chi Palace, Pei Ji got out of the carriage and went straight to the Imperial Study.

"What do people outside the city say?"

When Li Yuan heard that Pei Ji was back, he had no intention of pretending to be deep and asked directly.

"Punish the King of Qin and establish the crown prince."

Pei Ji thought about it and thought of a decent condition for Li Xian.

"Who to establish? He?!"

Li Yuan asked angrily for a moment.

"Let the King of Hedong Li Chengde."

Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan carefully and said, "The King of Yan Li Xian asked His Majesty to inform the world, issue an order to kill the King of Qin, and make the crown prince's son Li Chengde the crown prince. Please..."

"explain!"

"Your Majesty also asks you to add the title of emperor to the prince."

"Shameless!"

Li Yuan quickly walked back to the chair, slapped the table and said angrily: "I am still here. He asked me to add the title of emperor to the prince. Where should I place me? Don't talk anymore, no one should go out again. I want to see if he really dares to attack Chang'an! Come! It is said that Zhang Gongjin and Liu Hongji quickly came to the palace to see me!"

Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan's increasingly hunched body, and the wrinkles on his face were getting deeper and deeper. Three years ago, when His Majesty had just ascended the throne, he had passed the year of knowing destiny, but how energetic was then? At that time, no one suspected that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty would become the emperor of the ages and be famous in history. In just three years, the emperor was forced to be like this.

"minister……"

He looked at Li Yuan and knew what he had to say at this time: "I think I should talk more. As long as it can be delayed for a month, the troops from all over the country who came to Chang'an to protect the king will be almost there. At that time, all the troops gathered, and the King of Yan could only withdraw his troops."

“Not that easy!”

Li Yuan glanced at Pei Ji and sat down on the chair dejectedly: "If I were outside... I would attack the city in less than three days."

...

...

Wu Ji Baozi Shop, which has changed to selling vegetarian stuffed buns and scallion pancakes, has been doing very well these days. It’s not because the buns in this store have suddenly become much more delicious, nor because there are more scallion flowers in the scallion pancakes, but because of the more than 100,000 Yan Yunjun who are eyeing them outside Chang'an City. The people in Chang'an City have a very special temperament, which can be understood as being calm in the face of danger, and of course, it can also be said to be vulgar and called it a little bit vulgar.

There are many people coming to eat buns because the residents in Chang'an City feel that the topic of chatting recently is too thrilling. He urgently needs to find a place to share his experience with some people he knows or not. The reason why most people don’t have any worries is because they now understand a truth, that is, no matter who is sitting on the dragon throne in Chang'an City, they will never make things difficult for ordinary people like them.

I understand this reason because the people in Chang'an City dug up Li Yuan's ancestral tomb, but the people in Chang'an City are still living well now, but the nobles and wealthy families don't know how many deaths have been.

The change of regimes and the change of positions in the courts are very far away from them. Although they are so close, they cannot touch that level at all.

So they can sit in the bun shop and talk about their views on the current situation without scrupulously. Their mentality is much easier than the officials and men in the court. Even if Chang'an City is captured by Yan Yun's army, the unlucky ones are those with official skin. As for how many people will die, what if they don't care, the more they die, the better.

Wu Bushan, the owner of the bun shop, is in a very good mood these days because his shop is quite remote. These days, it has become a good place for the people to gather to chat and discuss the current situation. Although the people in Chang'an City are still very stingy, they have to bring wine and some side dishes from their homes when they are having a meal, in the end they often only have a vegetarian bun, but good business always makes people feel happy.

Wu Bushan looked at the poor and outrageously sour guests who could drink three meals with half a pig's ear, but pretended to be heroic and invited the next person who didn't know each other to drink together. But no one was willing to order food, and he felt that there were too many happy things in the world. Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would also send some side dishes such as vinegar and radish, and then enjoy the guests' thanks, whether sincere or fake.

But when an outrageously fat figure appeared outside the door of the bun shop, his originally kind face suddenly became gloomy.

What a happy and beautiful scene in front of me, it was interrupted by the appearance of this damn fat man.

As expected, the fat man, who had been chatting enthusiastically at the bun shop, immediately calmed down, looked at each other, and sat upright, looking at the dishes in front of him, saying that the radish-headed vinegar was too much today, and it didn't taste crispy at all. However, the fat man didn't care about the hostile gazes of the people. He sat down like a big shot and ordered two and a half pounds of scallion pancakes, a pot of old wine and some side dishes.

Since he was caught by King Yan in the bun shop and beaten up, the people all knew that this guy was from the government. He had no resistance to the fat people and even had friendship. After all, the fat people are the most favorable proof that this society is still beautiful, but if this fat person is from the government, the attitude of the people immediately changed greatly. In the eyes of the lovely people in Chang'an City, the fat person who is an official is naturally a scum who has fat and fattened his stomach with the people's fat.

"Why don't you say it?"

The fat man sneered and glanced around, then said sarcastically: "When I was listening outside the door just now, you were all so excited that you were going to marry a concubine in a side house? Why are you all mute when I came in? It seems that you are very welcome to King Yan into the city. Did he promise each of you a yellow girl?"

The fat man snorted coldly and said, "Based on what you said just now, I can capture you all back to Chang'an Mansion and be imprisoned!"

He turned his head and looked at Wu Bushan and asked with a sneer, "Shopkeeper Wu, your store is such a good place."

Wu Bushan sighed, turned around weakly and ordered: "Swap two and a half pounds of scallion oil pancakes into three trays of dog meat buns, and then cut one pound of beef to put it on. I'll ask."

Hearing this sentence, the fat man's face changed drastically: "Don't have gluten beef! No... I have to keep a little eye on it!"

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked directly into the kitchen. Wu Bushan hurriedly followed in and said, "You can't go in this place casually. Gentleman stayed away from the kitchen..."

"Do you think I look like a gentleman?"

...

...

"Before the lord left the city, the army immediately attacked the city."

Wu Bushan looked at the fat man and said word by word: "But it is extremely difficult for me to get close to Xi Neiyuan. It is even more difficult to get close to Xuanwu Gate. That person was the easiest person to start, but he was transferred from the palace by Li Yuan... Now, it is only you, a fat man, who is the best to start. How to release this fire, you have to think of a complete solution."

Wan Yulou grabbed a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said with some dissatisfaction: "If I can think of a good idea, will it be better to come to you to cheat food and drink?"

He sat down, his hands were extremely fast. Soon, a plate of cooked beef was swallowed by him: "Although I am still leading the Xuanwu Guard, my status has plummeted after Li Jiancheng's death. It is already a blessing for me to not be implicated by Li Jiancheng's murder. It's nothing that Xuanwu Guard's personnel are close to Xi Neiyuan. The key is that you asked me to take a group of Forbidden Palace guards to the city gate with dry firewood, and I'm afraid that if you can't walk, you will be shot into a hedgehog by arrows."

"Arrow pig!"

Wu Bushan corrected two words.

Wan Yulou gave him a blank look and said, "It was originally that guy's job, but now it's on me... I don't have any rewards when I'm done, and I can't get beaten with a board. Do you think I'm wronged. I haven't had a good sleep these days. If I can't sleep well, I won't eat well. If I don't eat well, I will lose weight day by day. The only benefit of getting thinner is his mother's chicken-ba looks much bigger... But I haven't figured out how to set this fire yet."

Wu Bushan looked at him and sarcastically said, "You were sent to Chang'an to do things not long after training in the Military Audit Office. I can understand that people who have been in such a small place for a long time have no knowledge."

This was so sour that Chang'an City became a small and unsightly place in his mouth.

"Do you know what the Second Department of the Military Audit Office does?"

Wu Bushan turned around and threw a few dog legs aside from the large jar where the dog meat was placed. He took out a larger gunpowder bag from the large jar and put it in front of Wan Yulou. He said proudly: "The lord said that success is always reserved for those who are prepared."

Wan Yulou was shocked and jumped back and shouted: "Fuck! Do you put this thing in the kitchen every day? Aren't you afraid of the fire coming close?"

Wu Bushan said quietly: "I'm afraid...so every time you come, I'll take it out and check it... Although this industry is from a village, I can't say anything if you don't pay for it, but why do I feel the urge to die with you every time I see your face?"
