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

"How about I go to Qingyuan with Uncle Boyu?" Pei Zhanran asked.

"No need. I already have a plan. I just want Uncle Boyu to go to Qingyuan. It would be bad if there are too many people." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran stood up, walked to the desk and started writing, "I have three plans for him. .”

Pei Jiaoran took out three kits from the low cabinet beside him. Then tie a colorful ribbon on it.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran's movements, Pei Zhanran raised his eyebrows, "Jiajia, are you doing it for yourself or for Li Xiujing?"

"It's always hard to stand alone in the government. Now I share weal and woe with Li Xiujing. If he fails in Heshuo, let's not say whether Li Sikong will cause trouble for me." Pei Jiaoran washed his hands carefully in the copper basin and tilted his head. Looking out the window, "Your Majesty has to find someone to quell the anger from the feudal town. Is one Wang Yu enough? And you have to find someone to bear the responsibility for losing the country."

She is now the Minister of Household Affairs, and it is her responsibility to ensure the supply of food and grass for the troops on the front line. Lu Zheng's words seemed to be Wang Wei and others recruiting her, hoping that she would turn around and be safe. In fact, it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Li Xiujing was killed by the rebels, and she would be accused of dereliction of duty.

Not long after the Hulao Pass was broken, Tuoba Si died of illness. The Wei army withdrew to Pingcheng, and the boundaries between Liu Song and Northern Wei were newly determined. The leader of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yifu, also began to investigate the responsibility for the loss of the country. The book records that Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, and Xie Hui perished and lost their territory, so they impeached themselves; do not ask for the edict. As for Xu Yan, the governor of Yanzhou, and Wang Jingdu, the prefect of Dongjun, who fled directly during this battle, both of them were punished with pincers.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran by the window, Pei Zhanran smiled.

He thought that in future history books, there would be a separate biography for his sister.

Cui Boyu was ready to eat in this room and led his servants outside to knock on the door. Hearing this, Pei Zhanran asked him to come in.

"Uncle Boyu, please stay here for a while." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

"What do you want me to do, young lady?" Cui Boyu put on his clothes and sat down, looking at her with a gentle tone, "Is it about Qingyuan?"

When asked, Pei Jiaoran nodded. Originally, she had no intention of letting her family get too involved in the court situation, but now she had to clean up the mess left by He Jingwen, and she had to be wary of Wang Yu and others attacking the Shence Army who was on an expedition abroad. After thinking about it, he decided to ask Cui Boyu to go out and go to Qingyuan to help Li Xiujing on her behalf.

After thinking for a while, Cui Boyu nodded, "It's all up to you, lady."

"Take these three kits." Pei Jiaoran took three kits from the side and pushed them over. "When we get to Qingyuan, we will first remove the red ones. If the plan fails, we will remove the purple ones. If we fail, we will remove the black ones. In addition..." Her voice After a pause, he got up and took out a copy of "Zuo Zhuan" from the bookshelf and turned the pages. He paused and wrote a few words in the book.

Handing the book to Cui Boyu, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Can you please tell Li Xiujing for me. During the Spring and Autumn Period, during the Battle of Liangtang between Jin and Chu, why was Xiangu defeated?"

When he stopped talking, Pei Zhanran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Pei Jiaoran with a narrow look.

Why does his sister criticize people in such a crooked way?

He was suddenly very curious. What kind of expression would Li Xiujing have if he understood what Pei Jiaoran meant.

Looking down at the "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand, Cui Boyu showed sympathy, but still handed over his hand and said: "Don't worry, girl, Cui will definitely complete this matter."

Finish the meal slowly. Pei Zhanran originally planned to keep her here for one night and leave in the morning. However, he had too many chores to do, so Pei Jiaoran had to leave and ride back to Chang'an City.

As soon as we entered Chang'an City, we heard the sound of drums urging people to close their doors. Pei Jiaoran glanced at the sky, raised his whip and hurried to the workshop. Amid the exclamations of the soldiers, they galloped into the workshop.

Not far from the house, Pei Jiaoran suddenly tightened the reins. I saw a carriage parked in a dark place diagonally opposite the house, and the two lanterns hanging in front of the carriage gave off warmth.

After dismounting and walking slowly over, Pei Jiaoran stopped in front of the house. He looked at the carriage with a gentle expression and said with a smile: "I wonder what you are doing late at night?"

"Pei Shangshu."

Hearing this voice, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows. The moment the curtain was lifted, he bowed his hands and said, "Li Sikong."

Li Sikong, who was wearing a half-worn cyan round-neck robe, stepped out of the carriage with the help of a servant. He looked at her solemnly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Li Sikong lowered his head and sighed.

"I heard that Shangshu is well-read in poetry and books, and is knowledgeable about ancient times and modern times. You must be familiar with "Book of Song Dynasty", right?" Li Sikong signaled the servants to retreat to the outer circle to guard, took a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over, "Look .”

Glancing at the half-page paper in Li Sikong's hand that had been licked by the tongue of fire, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and asked, "Does Sikong want to say Mao Dezu?"

"Yes. Don't Pei Shangshu think that he and Wang Zhene are very similar to Xiu Jing and Lieutenant Liu?" Li Sikong walked around her, "The first two were hated by the Jingkou faction, and the latter also disagreed with the central government. He is also hated by the world.”

"But I am also a lowly official from a humble family, no different from them. Sikong is also from the Li family in Longxi, why don't you fight against them yourself?" Pei Jiaoran stood with his hands behind his hands, his tone full of ridicule.

Although she has already thought of ways to deal with Wang Yu and the others, she will not make a loss-making business. The alliance between her and Li Xiujing is one thing, but the alliance with the Li family in Longxi is another. She had to see how sincere the Li family was.

Looking at her, Li Sikong smiled and said, "I have leg problems and have been unable to fight for the country for a long time. I originally thought that Xuanyin would become a Qianniu Guard, and then inherit my title and live out this life in peace. But that's it. Unexpectedly, he had other ideas. He would rather accumulate military merits from scratch than be controlled by others. If the Li family still had some strength, how could he stay in Guazhou for six years. But the situation he faced now was different from that of Wang and Mao. There is no difference.”

A smile appeared on his face, but Pei Jiaoran still didn't speak. She was waiting for the head of the Li family in Longxi to throw a higher bargaining chip.

"If Shangshu Pei wants to become the leader of the center, he must have the cooperation of external forces. Although the Li family is not as powerful as them, they have accumulated a lot of reputation." Li Sikong looked at her sincerely, "You have already accumulated enough. Political hope is clear. Now you only need one step to enter the center, and the Li family is willing to help you."

After listening to Li Sikong's words, Pei Jiaoran burst into laughter.

"Sounds good. But Li Sikong doesn't want any reward? I don't do business that only benefits one party. It's too dangerous." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

With his eyes fixed on Pei Jiaoran, Li Sikong shook his head, "No need. I am already in my twilight years, even if I want a reward. You have to ask Xuanyin for it. When he comes back, I will ask your Majesty to give him a title, and I will go back to my hometown in Longxi to retire. go."

The smile on Pei Jiaoran's face faltered, and he couldn't help but cursed at being a cunning person. By letting Li Xiujing take over as the head of the family, wouldn't it be a disguised attempt to push the deal between the two of them onto Li Xiujing?

"Don't worry, Li Sikong. Xuanyin and I share weal and woe. Naturally, we will not let him fall into danger. Pei said goodbye at the end of the night." After that, Pei Jiaoran politely bowed his hand to him, walked around him and returned to his house.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran's leaving figure, Li Sikong couldn't help but smile.

This little lady is very thoughtful. She deserves to have her brat in her hands all the time.
