Do You Know This Person? new book
When Wang Chen said this, Wei Zheng immediately nodded.
"Brother Wang, tell us, which noble is this? It's good for us to broaden our horizons.”
Wei Zheng deliberately asked this question. Although he was very enthusiastic towards Wang Chen, it had only been three to five minutes, and he was already like an old brother who had known him for many years.
However, Wei Zheng still did not know what kind of ability Wang Chen had. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes and had only heard it from Zhangsun Wuji.
Therefore, he wanted to see what Wang Chen was capable of in front of him.
Wang Chen patted Li Shimin and Wei Zheng on the shoulders.
"Let's go, let's go. We'll talk as we walk. Come to my tavern quickly. I'll show you what I'm capable of.”
The tavern was located in Taiping Square, which was too far away from Anhua Gate in the south of Chang 'an.
Therefore, Wang Chen paid a few bucks and hired a large carriage. Then, the four of them sat in it.
The guards who were supposed to protect Li Shi Min and the others immediately followed the carriage to protect them.
In the carriage, Wang Chen casually handed a handful of roasted seeds and nuts to them from his pocket.
"Come, brothers, eat this. This is the roasted seeds and nuts I personally made. I guarantee that even the palace won't be able to eat such good things.”
Li Shi Min and the others took a handful of roasted seeds and nuts from Wang Chen, then sat in the carriage and started eating.
Wang Chen also took the opportunity to start a conversation.
"Speaking of the carriage that just left the city, there really was an extraordinary person sitting in it.”
"That is the illustrious Duke of the Great Tang, Duke of Wei Pei Ji.”
Li Shi Min immediately revealed a puzzled expression.
"I seem to have heard this name before. Could it be Pei Ji, the founder of the country?”
Wang Chen immediately revealed a surprised look and patted Li Shiming heavily.
"Not bad, Old Li. You really know a little about everything.”
"This is indeed the founding hero of our Great Tang, the palace supervisor of Taiyuan's Jinyang Palace.”
"If it weren't for his help, the Retired Emperor wouldn't have been able to conquer the Sui Dynasty and unify the world so smoothly.”
"It was precisely because of his help that Retired Emperor decisively raised an army against Taiyuan and obtained a large amount of food and other resources from Pei Ji.”
"After that, he experienced many battles and was quite resourceful, so he quickly became the most important person by the Retired Emperor's side.”
"Unfortunately…"
Wei Zheng caught the feeling that Wang Chen's words were not enough and hurriedly asked with a curious expression,"What's a pity?"
Wang Chen sighed slightly.
"It's a pity that this person fought for power back then, causing Liu Wenjing, who was also an important minister like him, to die.”
"After all, this Liu Wenjing and the current emperor are very close. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, naturally, this Duke of Wei will not have a good ending.”
When Wang Chen said this, the expressions of the people in the carriage changed.
One had to know that on the surface, Pei Ji's crime was because he spoke rudely and secretly had dealings with some fanatics.
That was why he was deprived of half of his food city and exiled to Jingzhou.
But when it came to Wang Chen, he seemed to have uncovered the bloody truth.
The reason Pei Ji was banished was because Li Shi Min didn't like him.
In the first two years after Retired Emperor Li Yuan was placed under house arrest, Pei Ji still had considerable influence in the court.
Therefore, it could be said that the monarch and his subjects were in harmony at that time.
But now, Pei Ji's influence had been completely dispersed by Li Shiming.
Therefore, this person naturally could not be left alive.
More importantly, Pei Ji was an old official of Li Yuan's era and Li Yuan's right-hand man. He had been in the limelight during the Martial Virtue Era.
Although Li Yuan had been placed under house arrest, Li Shiming was still worried that the Retired Emperor had other ideas, so he had to remove all the threats.
For example, this Duke of Wei.
Otherwise, a founding hero would be exiled thousands of miles away from his official position because of the crime of spouting nonsense.
If word got out, it would be a joke.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but look at Wang Chen.
"Shopkeeper, logically speaking, this Duke of Wei is already an old man. Even if he has a grudge with the current world, it was something that happened many years ago.”
"How do you know so much?”
Wang Chen waved his hand and said very casually,"The Pei family's carriage has their own insignia printed on it. I only needed one look to recognize that this is Pei Ji's residence.”
"Pei Ji, the founding elder of the country, would definitely not be dismissed from office and exiled thousands of miles because of a small matter.”
"After thinking about it, the only person who can influence this matter is His Majesty. If it were anyone else, no one would be better than Pei Ji.”
"I've already analyzed it to this point. What else can't I deduce?”
Li Shi Min couldn't help but sigh.
As usual, this pair of eyes could easily see through the world and the nature of things.
This case involved many years of grudges. At that time, this Little Shopkeeper Wang was probably not even a few years old.
He could actually follow the clues and deduce it clearly.
Such a person was too strong. If he was given some clues, there would be nothing in the world that he did not know.
A real person sitting at home, knowing everything in the world.
