After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.
Chapter 168 Watching
In the misty spring rain, Zhongnan Mountain is enveloped in clouds and mist.
It was dawn, before Pei Zhanran woke up. Pei and Li had already secretly left, each riding towards Chang'an. The two of them were having breakfast in a restaurant on the east side of Tianmen Street. They are all ordered according to Pei Jiaoran's taste.
He took a bite of Ju Sheng Nu and chewed it carefully in his mouth. Pei Jiaoran opened the window and let the rain blow in.
Looking at Pei Jiaoran, he saw that she was eating with great joy. Li Xiujing handed over the cut steamed cake, "Eat slowly. I won't compete with you. I know there is a Huaiyang restaurant in the city that tastes good. Do you want to go?"
He had already ordered his subordinates to make inquisitive inquiries. Lu Zheng had always wanted to invite Pei Jiaoran to eat Huaiyang cuisine in Chang'an, but he never had the chance.
"Let's talk about it." Pei Jiaoran took a sip of apricot cheese porridge and looked through the window at the Tai Chi Palace in the mist and rain. "I want to go into the palace. The matter of Zhongna must be resolved as soon as possible."
"Do you need me to wait for you? Let's go eat Huaiyang cuisine together." Li Xiujing said bluntly.
Pei Jiaoran said nothing, lowering his head to drink the apricot cheese porridge. Then he responded vaguely.
After eating, the two of them went out, but the rain was still falling mercilessly. There weren't many people on the street. The rain fell along the edge of the hat and wet the skirt of the clothes.
Spring is here, and summer is not far away. If there is an imbalance of yin and yang in the court, he will be born with strange phenomena and die in the palace wall. The people still live peacefully and peacefully, and the vitality of the market maintains the operation of their lives.
The two separated in front of Zhuque Gate. One went to Shangshu Province from Anshangmen, and the other went to Shence Military Camp from Hanguang Gate.
After Jin Wuwei reviewed the family records, Pei Jiaoran rode slowly to Shangshu Province. It's now time to go to court. Except for the officials on duty, most of the officials from various companies have left after finishing their work at hand.
Look around to make sure no one is around. Pei Jiaoran pushed open the door of the household branch office. Sit down in front of the case, study ink and pick up a pen. She imitated the handwriting of Dr. Duzhi and wrote the memorial.
Put down your pen and read the memorial carefully to make sure there are no mistakes. Pei Jiaoran made a sound and put the memo aside among the documents.
Tomorrow this memorial will be delivered to the people of Zhongshu. After the first reading, it will be handed over step by step, and finally submitted to the imperial court.
As if remembering something, Pei Jiaoran frowned and turned over the document on the side. Find out the documents rewritten by Du Zhi Si regarding the use of Zhi Du Guo. After a cursory glance, he crushed it into a ball and threw it into the smoker nearby.
After doing the killing with a borrowed knife, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath. He walked to the door, held his breath and listened. After confirming that no one had passed by, he opened the door and jumped out quickly.
There is a long verandah at your feet. On the way out, Pei Jiaoran had already met many officials from various departments to greet her. Facing the doubts of her colleagues, she smiled. He didn't explain much, he just said that he had left something behind.
"Pei Sheren, aren't you on holiday?"
Hearing Jia Gonglu's voice behind him, Pei Jiaoran turned around and bowed calmly, "I've met my husband. I remembered that I had some personal belongings left in Shangshu Province, so I came here to pick them up."
"Oh?" The end of his voice was deliberately prolonged. Jia Gonglu walked slowly to her, looked at her and said with a smile, "I heard that Pei Sheren went to see His Majesty a few days ago."
"It is indeed true." Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and said with shame: "As a member of Zhongshushe, the lower official is responsible for the affairs of the household department. A few days ago, the household department submitted a memorial after calculating the accounts, saying that there will be insufficient funds to support the country next year. Please, Your Majesty, please give me another stroke."
"So?" Jia Gonglu narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly.
"The lower official thought this was inappropriate, so he rejected the memorial. But then he thought, the Ministry of Revenue was in a tight situation and had to find a way to solve it. So the lower official took a bold step and submitted the memorial to His Majesty without review by the Political Affairs Hall." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran sighed, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty scolded the official for overstepping his rank and being lawless. He also denied all the contents of the memorial. This move is indeed a sign of the official's ill-thinking and will bring harm to the husband. If the husband wants to Even if you are punished, even if you are a subordinate, you will never complain."
Glancing at Pei Jiaoran who was kneeling on the ground, Jia Gonglu's eyes flashed with disdain. So what if you get the top spot? No matter how powerful you are, you still have to bend your back. The same is true for those high-ranking families. No matter how they claim to be noble for a hundred years, once they are in the officialdom, these are all
The shackles that frame them. If you want to climb up, you have to give up your so-called pride and become a qualified chess piece. He even sacrificed his own daughter to marry an eunuch. To seek exchange of benefits.
"I appreciate your talents and abilities. But once you disobey me, I can pull you down." Jia Gonglu said coldly, "Cao Hujun of Zuo Shence is very fond of you, and the high-ranking officials in Chang'an are also very fond of you. It’s not like there’s no such thing as marrying a daughter to an eunuch. If Peishen doesn’t want to be the plaything in the eunuch’s bed, he shouldn’t do anything rebellious.”
Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, you should remember your husband's teachings today."
Listening to her words, Jia Gonglu hummed softly in his throat. Then she fluttered her sleeves and left, the purple robe passing in front of her eyes.
When the footsteps faded away, Pei Jiaoran stood up. Turning around and looking at the purple robe that was getting further away, her crimson lips pursed slightly. The frost in his eyes turned into a cold sound.
Being in the officialdom, I want to exchange for power. You have to learn to kneel down and lower your head at the right time, so that your opponent can relax their vigilance and at the same time give you power. If you stand all the time and don't know how to lower your head, not only will you easily exhaust your energy, but you will often get nothing.
These are the ways to survive in the filthy official world.
In such a world of cannibalism, as a woman entering the officialdom, she will only face more difficulties in the struggle for power.
Whether it is the contempt of the world or the slighting of words, these are just the most common methods. There are even some people who want to pull her off the road to power all the time. Then watch her fall into the dirt and enjoy it.
But none of this could stop her, let alone hold her back. What I am encountering now is just a little bit of fun on the way to being above ten thousand people. Why should she be afraid of it?
With the frost in his eyes gone, Pei Jiaoran slowly left Shangshu Province with a warm smile on his face. I was riding a horse and walking on Chengtianmen Street, looking back at Chengtianmen under the hazy mist and rain.
She thought about it carefully just now. That day when she secretly presented the memorial to Jin Shang, no chamberlain was present. Now that Jia Gonglu suddenly mentioned this matter again, it was probably Jinshang who told him about it in a circumstantial way.
What she wanted to do, she didn't know yet. But judging from Jia Gonglu's attitude, His Majesty did not mention the content of the memorial. I just want Jia Gonglu to restrain her subordinate and stop doing anything beyond his rank.
Otherwise, she should be in Shence Prison now, instead of being able to leave Shangshu Province safely.
Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but secretly cursed Emperor Wei for being cunning.
He obviously said that he would not pursue the matter, but turned around and brought the matter to Jia Gonglu. Use his hand to give yourself a warning, while he watches the fire from the other side.
But this is the emperor's method. Let the people in the game share the food and compete for profits, and the spectators will have endless joy.
