After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. It's really a pity." Emperor Wei said pity twice in a row, and his eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran again, "I remember that you wrote a memorial and it was good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Pei Jiaoran's tone was as respectful as before.

She couldn't guess why Emperor Wei suddenly asked her if she was from Hedong Pei. Although her ancestors are inextricably linked to Hedong Pei, that was all a hundred years ago. At the moment, she just comes from an ordinary family in Jiangnan, and her surname is Pei.

Seeing that Emperor Wei didn't say anything for a long time, Pei Jiaoran looked around. Suddenly she looked at the prince and saw him staring at her, a smile appeared on her face.

This prince is really worthy of his mother. Her mother was the late Empress Dou, who was a young couple with Emperor Wei. They had a deep love for each other. Unfortunately, she was a beautiful woman but she died of illness less than ten years after Emperor Wei ascended the throne. However, it also established the stability of the crown prince's position as deputy governor.

It's just that if the prince wants to successfully ascend the throne and stabilize the imperial power, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but feel that the prince was a little miserable. Even if the position of Vice President will not be shaken, once he ascends the throne, he will have to take over a mess. There are powerful vassals and enemy states outside, and there are constant struggles among the central government and officials inside. Moreover, she remembered that the prince's life in his previous life was not a good one. Emperor Wei maintained a very subtle attitude towards him. Although he never gave up the establishment, he secretly allowed Zhang to let them support Zhang Xianfei's son.

"I think what Pei Shiyu said is reasonable. If we ignore Fengzhou today, we will not only violate the ancestral precepts, but also lose the trust of the people. Therefore, I sincerely request your majesty to send troops to support Fengzhou and regain the lost territory." The prince's tone was sincere.

After hearing this, Emperor Wei turned to look at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Cen Xi said nothing. Pei Jiaoran had the same idea as him, so what else could he say? What's more, Vice President Chu agreed with it.

His eyes fell on Wang Wei again, and he lowered his head and didn't answer. Apparently he acquiesced to this matter.

As for Jia and Zhang, they both looked at Pei Jiaoran aside. Then Jia Gonglu said, "Your Majesty, Qian Gang, must make your own decision on this matter."

Emperor Wei's eyes turned to Pei Jiaoran.

If the monarch and his ministers have the same goal, then the next thing to discuss is who to send.

Pei Jiaoran bowed his head and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "I have a candidate who can take on this important task."

"Who?" Emperor Wei asked.

"Li Xiujing, the governor of Guazhou. This man also quelled the Turkic rebellion in Fengzhou six years ago and chased his remnants to Duhu Mountain. Because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the governor of Guazhou by the Sima of Fengzhou." Glancing at Jia Gonglu, Pei Jiaoran continued: "Wei Chen thought it would be most appropriate for him to cooperate with Lieutenant Liu in attacking Fengzhou."

"Is it the one who signed the memorial with you? Li Xiujing, the direct descendant of Duke Zhao?"

When asked, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Exactly."

"Guazhou is far away from Fengzhou, and his term has not yet expired. How can he be transferred to Fengzhou to fight with Lieutenant Liu." Wang Yu retorted.

Wang Yu's eyes were full of disapproval.

Xu Xiao glanced at him, and Pei Jiaoran continued, "Fengzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and most of the Turks are cavalry. In addition, they have not fought with us in these years. Soldiers, the most important thing is to be familiar with the combat environment, so Li Xiujing should be the most suitable candidate. If Wang Xianggong has concerns, why not also recommend someone?"

After hearing this, Wang Wei's fists clenched. Fengzhou has lush grass and complicated conditions. Otherwise, if someone who is familiar with the local situation goes to lead the troops, he may be ambushed by the Turks at least, or be killed by the beasts at worst. Moreover, the imperial court has focused its attention on the Heshuo vassal town and Tubo in recent years, and few people have paid attention to the Turks. He couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

Pei Jiaoran's words were clearly provoking him. If you have the ability, find someone who can replace Li Xiujing as the forward general. If you don't have the ability, don't interfere in this matter.

Emperor Wei looked at Pei Jiaoran in front of him, recalling the quarrel just now in his mind. I have to say that although this man is young, he still has a rare sense of sincerity. And what she said before was completely putting herself in his shoes. This is also the reason why he wanted to mention that memorial. Of course, such talents must be put to good use.

Her memorial and previous remarks were all incisive and thorough, and she directly sorted out the key points like peeling off cocoons. And sincere attitude. Compared with those in the court who were rhetorical and flowery, Pei Jiaoran was an eclectic, straightforward and practical person. Emperor Wei couldn't help but like her a little more.

"I agree with your Majesty's proposal." Jia Gonglu was the first to speak.

"I second the proposal," Cen Xi also said.

Two of the chief officials of the three provinces have spoken. Wang Yun gouged out Pei Jiaoran's eyes fiercely, lowered his head and bowed, "I also second my opinion."

It is obvious that His Majesty admires Pei Jiaoran very much. If I make tit-for-tat remarks again, I might even be angered by His Majesty. Do you really want Jia Gonglu to get more help?

"I heard that you are Wuchang Li's apprentice." Emperor Wei said leisurely.

"Although I am a disciple of Duke Changli, I am also a disciple of the Emperor." Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and said in a respectful tone, "Only because of God's grace can I become an official. Since I am receiving the emperor's salary, I should share the emperor's worries."

Her answer was quite serious and somewhat flattering. But Emperor Wei didn't have any disgust on his face after hearing this, but instead smiled softly.

"Since you have recommended him, if he cannot win or flees from the battle, you can join him in judging the crime. Are you willing?"

"Wei Chen understands." Pei Jiaoran smiled gently.

When she decided to recommend Li Xiujing, she considered all the consequences she might face. But she had no choice. Apart from Li Xiujing, she could not find another suitable person to cooperate with.

but……

Pei Jiaoran glanced at Cen Xi from the corner of his eye. If he could win over this person later, maybe things would go much smoother. But she remembered that he never got involved in party struggles, had a weird temper, and was not that easy to get along with.

After thinking for a while, she temporarily gave up the idea of ​​winning over Cen Xi.

Some thoughts have not yet reached the point of being exposed.

"Okay, let the Political Affairs Hall prepare the edict immediately." Emperor Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Yu, and said solemnly: "I remember that there is still a vacancy in the middle school, right?"

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Wang Yuan frowned.

"Then let her take over the title of Zhongshu Sheren for the time being. Add another title." Emperor Wei turned to look at everyone.

Wang Yu and Jia Gonglu were both stunned, and even the prince looked at Wei Emperor in shock.

All I heard was Emperor Wei shook his head and chuckled, "Secret secrets."

After he stopped talking, Rang looked at Emperor Wei with astonishment. The three of them turned to Pei Jiaoran in unison, but saw that she was also shocked.

The prince glanced at Pei Jiaoran silently. I couldn't help but secretly curse, this person was probably just pretending.

Jia Gonglu suddenly withdrew his gaze, while Wang Yu remained silent.

The emperor's move was unexpected.

Zhang Rang also looked at Pei Jiaoran for a long time. He didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyelashes and narrowed his eyes. She really wanted to join the Central Committee, so she was naturally very fond of an important position like Zhongshu Sheren with power.

However, Emperor Wei still surprised her by adding a special secret to her. Having this title means that she will be above other Zhongshushe people.
