The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Pei Zhi's eyes were dark. He didn't want to kill Pei Su, but King Linzi insisted on being a knife in other people's hands. He was willing to be a puppet and bring shame to the Tian family.

Unlike Pei Zhi, who dealt with the nobles for good reputation after returning from Youzhou, Pei Su agreed with the rules among the nobles from the bottom of his heart.

The King of Linzi loved beautiful poems and poems, and he would recite poems and paint with some of the nobles' children, sleeping in flowers and willows. He inherited the Pei family's good looks, being noble and elegant, and was extremely easy to talk to in front of the nobles.

Correspondingly, Pei Su looked down on ministers from poor families at all. He found the generals under Pei's command, except for Zhang Yushu, the son of the Marquis of Guan Nei, to be vulgar.

Because of this, several noble clans led by the Cui family even had a faint intention of turning to King Linzi.

Now, in the eyes of the Cui Lu family, they are probably even more looking forward to Pei Su becoming emperor.

But just like when they wanted to turn against Pei Su, they only sent people to provoke them with words and left no clues. I'm afraid it will be the same this time.

The Cui family has many slaves. Now that they have been freed from slavery and returned to the family of King Linzi, even if the Dongchuang Incident happens, the Cui family will have to cut off their tails to survive and resign from office to apologize.

Pei Zhi always hated this kind of slippery loach. After a long silence, he ordered: "Let King Jiangdu enter the palace."

"Brother Imperial, why are you so anxious?"

Pei Jing strode into the hall. After bowing, he looked around and saw that his elder sister-in-law was still not there. He was confused for a moment, but suddenly a few words rang in his ears like thunder.

The young man who was full of doubts just now looked sluggish, and after a long while he said intermittently: "How is it possible, brother emperor, is it possible that Captain Zhenyi made a mistake?"

The relationship between Pei Jing and his second brother was mediocre, even not great, but it was still unacceptable. His Adam's apple rolled and he was speechless.

He is Zongzheng, and these clan members must go through him before they commit crimes before being handed over to Tingwei for trial.

In other words, he was destined to be stained with the blood of his brother from the same mother. Pei Jing's eyelids jumped. Although he and Pei Su didn't look alike, they were real twins.

After struggling for a few moments, Pei Jing continued to obey his elder brother's orders unconditionally as usual.

"The King of Linzi can just leave it to my younger brother."

"No need, press this in advance, I have my own use." The man in a black dragon robe said calmly, "I remember that in these clans, there are legitimate sons in the family who are not yet married."

"Not only are the legitimate sons not yet married, but some of them are still unmarried." Pei Jing was confused for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "Brother Huang wants the Cui family to send their daughters to the palace and then grant them a marriage?"

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment and then said: "Send it to Changle Palace. Don't be an eyesore in Weiyang Palace."

"It is indeed not suitable to be in Weiyang Palace." Pei Jing thought of the one in Jiaofang Palace and lowered his eyes, "Brother, is it really feasible to let the daughters of these families enter the palace as hostages?"

"Hostage?" Pei Zhi chuckled, as if taunting him, "Having already planned a rebellion, do you still care about the lives of your children?"

Just let them relax.

"Do I need to prepare now?" Pei Jing waited for his eldest brother to speak, "Which girl should I choose?"

The man behind the case ordered someone to hand an imperial edict to Pei Jing, and his voice showed no emotion, "On the day of the palace election, you take this edict of marriage and show up on my behalf."

King Jiangdu glanced at the edict and said blankly: "Brother, won't you go?"

"What am I going to do?"

"Go and see if there's anyone you like." Pei Jing couldn't think of anything he could say. As soon as he finished the last word, the inkstone fell to his feet. He quickly apologized and said, "My brother made a mistake. Go and prepare now -"

The next day at court, Pei Jing was left standing in the palace, wondering what his elder brother's orders were.

Pei Zhi's voice was cold, "The prince of Jiangdu uses his weapon for personal use. Who do you want to put into the selection and ask me to grant a marriage?"

The originally calm-looking young man was frightened, and immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare."

"Third brother is always brave. As soon as Pei Shu left the palace, you couldn't wait to go to the imperial temple to find someone." Pei Zhi glanced at the kneeling young man and said, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child and you can fool me?"

Pei Jing's face was green and white, and he finally said resignedly: "The rice is already cooked."

This time, it was Pei Zhi who stood still, looking at his brother. He didn't say a word for a long time. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and he was caught off guard and kicked him.

"Brother Emperor, if she doesn't want to be a side concubine, she can just be a concubine. If she can't get the jade certificate, she won't be part of the same family as the emperor's sister-in-law." Pei Jing said in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, it's because of the errands I run in Fufeng County. For the sake of it being acceptable, please agree to it once."

"I said, you can do whatever you want in private, but don't think of putting this in public." The man in a black dragon robe said indifferently.

Pei Jing saw that his eldest brother really couldn't let go. He hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "If my brother is worried about her giving birth to an heir, I am willing to give her a bowl of red flowers with my own hands."

"So heartless?" Pei Zhi's tone was neither salty nor cold.

"Brother Chen just went to see her at first. Ah Yue suffered a lot of grievances with me. So I planned to say goodbye to Miss Xu and leave my thoughts alone, but..."

"But you can't help yourself?" The young emperor's eyebrows became as cold as frost and snow. "Pei Jing, you were drugged and you didn't even know it. Do you need my guards to send you evidence?"

"Brother Chen knows." Pei Jing's voice was weak, not daring to look at his eldest brother's expression of hatred for steel. "Brother, during this time, Brother Chen has figured out that after being together with A Yue for so long in Youzhou, in fact, My brother has long disliked Miss Xu, but she saved my brother after all."

Xu Mingyue couldn't stand the closeness between Pei Shu and Pei Zhi, but they were affectionate and righteous in front of Pei Jing. Whenever she heard someone commenting that Pei Su and Pei Jing were not as good as her elder brother, she would say softly: "The third young master Pei has his own merits." place."

It was a coincidence that Pei Jing could hear it. At first, Pei Jing suspected that she had set a trap for him, but one time his eldest brother showed up at a banquet and was mistakenly identified by the assassin. She rushed over and dragged him down a dozen stairs. His whole body was covered with injuries, and his last words before he fell into coma were, "Fortunately, the third young master is fine, otherwise the prince would be sad."

From then on, no matter what Pei Shu said, Pei Jing was convinced that Xu Mingyue was sincere to his elder brother and was a rare lover. He did wrong things because he loved his elder brother too much, so he was confused for a while and had no bad intentions.

Even after returning to Chang'an, he found that she was completely different from his impression. Pei Jing also missed his old friendship and brought her something. The people in the Imperial Temple saw that King Jiangdu had an unusual relationship with her, so they relaxed their supervision and were not as strict as before.

Pei Jing gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, everyone knows that she offended Xiao Shu. Xu Youzhen was demoted and his biological mother was abandoned. Mr. Xu didn't care about this half-sister at all. No one in Chang'an dared to marry her. My younger brother only accepted her because As an old favor, I will send her to the fiefdom from now on and never see her again."

The silence in the hall was like a dull knife grinding into one's bones. Pei Jing felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if ice water was pouring down his clothes.

His face became paler and paler, his back bent downwards under the weight of the heavy atmosphere, and he suddenly heard his eldest brother's voice.

"Have you really figured it out?"

Pei Jing raised his eyes and nodded.

"Let her meditate in Jiangdu."

Pei Zhi's voice was cold. It would be better to let her leave Chang'an, lest Xu Xian become soft-hearted one day and suddenly miss this sister and come to him to ask for mercy.

The young man kneeling on the ground didn't look too happy, he just breathed a sigh of relief.
