Pei Ji could live for so long.
Other things aside, his bootlicking skills were very good. More importantly, he knew his status.
Eunuch Lin wasn't a big deal.
To be honest, he didn't even care about the Prime Minister Xiao Yu.
However, Li Yuan was determined to cling onto this thigh.
Therefore, when he came out of the room where he was listening to the music, he did not bring any servants with him except for the butler. Now that he knew that Li Yuan was coming, he did not dare to guess Li Yuan's thoughts.
He could only ask Eunuch Lin.
Eunuch Lin looked around and said," Your Majesty, you don't want everyone to know that you're leaving the palace in plain clothes.”
"Only the three of you know.”
"If this news were to spread and Wei Zheng, that old man, knew about it, His Majesty would have a headache, and this old man would not care about you.”
Eunuch Lin spoke very clearly.
Pei Ji looked around. Fortunately, he was smart and there were no outsiders around him.
He hurriedly said," Eunuch Lin, don't worry. I will keep my mouth shut. However, His Majesty is about to arrive. Should I go and welcome him?"”
"His Majesty has already given orders, so you don't have to go." Eunuch Lin shook his head.”
"Otherwise, if outsiders see you and you go out personally, you can guess it. Let Assistant Minister Pei come with us!”
Pei Ji hurriedly nodded and brought Pei Hao to the main hall to wait.
Pei Yunfeng followed Eunuch Lin out of the Pei Residence.
Li Yuan led the Golden Guards over as if they were having fun. Li Yuan asked them to skip all the formalities.
However, Pei Yunfeng, who was following behind Li Yuan, was still frightened out of his wits.
In the court.
He was too far away from Li Shi Min, so he could only watch from afar.
Now that he was in close contact with it, he felt a mountain-like pressure coming at him.
Li Yuan was in the Pei Residence as if he had come to his own backyard.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze fell on a tea tree and he said,"Where did this tree come from?"
Pei Yunfeng, who was standing behind Li Yuan, was extremely nervous. When he heard Li Yuan's question, he was so frightened that his entire body trembled. Then, he carefully replied,"Your Majesty."
"This Qingliang Tree was transplanted from Qingliang Mountain. I don't recognize it, but I can smell its fragrance.”
Li Yuan stood still, pinched a tender tip with his finger, and sniffed it.
Cool Tree.
Mount Qingliang.
He looked at Pei Yunfeng and asked,"Are there such small trees on Mount Qingliang?"”
Pei Yunfeng understood what Li Yuan meant and immediately nodded."Yes, Your Majesty. It's not just the Qing Liang Mountain. The mountain range of the Qing Liang Mountain is full of these small trees.”
"However, it's not of much value. When I went there, many livestock were gnawing on it.”
Li Yuan smiled and looked at Pei Yunfeng.""If I remember correctly, your father previously sought an official position for you. You should be an official in the Ministry of Revenue, right?”
"With Xuan Ling?"
Pei Yunfeng was delighted. He thought that Li Yuan thought highly of him, so he immediately bowed respectfully and said,"Your Majesty, I work in the Ministry of Revenue and am currently the assistant minister.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said while walking,""Very good. This one orders you to quickly familiarize yourself with the surroundings of Mount Qing Liang. You can take the Golden Guards with you.”
"Return the territory to the national treasury, but do not disturb the people. Do you understand?”
Pei Yunfeng answered repeatedly.
Because he relied on Pei Ji's relationship in the Ministry of Revenue, everyone respected him on the surface.
However, the people behind him did not take him seriously. They only thought that he was gilded. Therefore, now that he followed Li Yuan, he only felt that his future was bright. Looking at Li Yuan's back, he felt that Li Yuan was really discerning and wise.
Li Yuan walked and stopped all the way to the main hall of the Pei Residence.
Pei Hao was kneeling there.
Pei Ji was also standing at the side. When he saw Li Yuan coming over, he hurriedly came up to him and said,"Your Majesty, this old subject greets Your Majesty. My son is not sensible.”
"You actually disturbed the Holy Pedestal.”
Li Yuan smiled and looked at Pei Ji meaningfully.
Then, he sat on the main seat.
No matter which family it was, there was a distinction between host and guest.
Only Li Yuan had come. He was the master wherever he went, because the entire Great Tang was his.
After Li Yuan sat down, he saw that Pei Ji was still standing. He said,"Xuan Zhen, do you remember how many years you have followed me?”
Pei Ji respectfully bowed and said,"Your Majesty, it has been thirteen years. However, Your Majesty is still as outstanding as before, but this old minister is already extremely old.”
Li Yuan waved his hand slightly, indicating for Pei Ji to sit down.
"Xuanzhen, although we are now monarch and minister, I still think about the past." He said earnestly.”
"If it wasn't for your help, we wouldn't be where we are today.”
"No matter what, We will always say that you are the greatest contributor to the Great Tang.”
Li Yuan's words sounded extremely sincere to Pei Hao as he looked at Pei Ji with a smile.
Pei Ji broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable.
If the Emperor was trying to get close to you, then there was nothing good about it. How long could he eat the merit book? Pei Ji did not have much confidence now.
Pei Ji could only swallow his saliva. He looked at Li Yuan and said,"Your Majesty, you were able to successfully raise an army and ascend to the throne. That is the trend of the times and the return of the heavens.”
"The people of the Great Tang, the people of the world, all praise Your Majesty.”
"This old subject merely relied on the right time and place to help Your Majesty with a small matter. This old subject truly does not deserve to be called the number one hero of the Great Tang.”
"Besides, this old minister feels that my body is getting worse by the day. Now that I have such a good-for-nothing son, I really don't have the strength to help Your Majesty.”
"It just so happens that Your Majesty has come to this humble official's residence today. This humble official also wants to say to Your Majesty that you allow this old official to recuperate at home and no longer participate in court affairs.”
Pei Ji said to the end.
He stood up and bowed respectfully. He bowed and said,"Old subject, please allow me to do so, Your Majesty."
