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

When the memorial arrived at Fengtian, Pei Jiaoran was reporting to Emperor Wei the amount of money and supplies sent along the commercial route. The supplies sent this time were not very large, but they were enough to meet urgent needs.

"Pei Shangshu really thinks that I shouldn't include these taxes in Daying Qionglin's inner treasury?" Emperor Wei asked with a cold face.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Yes. I have made it very clear for the reason. At present, the military chaos has not been eliminated, so the priority is to appease the soldiers. If Your Majesty can suffer for yourself and reward the generals, the generals will give their full support."

"Hmph, you do have a good say."

"I will live up to the emperor, and I will live up to what I have learned, and I will live up to the rest." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly.

"What do you think Qin Huaiyi wrote in this memorial?" Emperor Wei looked at her and deliberately slowed down his tone: "It was you who went to Qin Huaiyi to declare the decree that day. Pei Qing, do you think he had any objections? Woolen cloth?"

Emperor Wei asked two questions in succession, and Pei Jiaoran's eyes gathered in thought.

"When I heard that Commander Qin Jie was on his way back to the army, he repeatedly reported to your Majesty that he should depose Wang Yu as the prime minister. The towns in Heshuo and the reason why Dugu Jun raised troops were all related to Wang Yu. In the past, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty killed Chao Cuo, thus quelling the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. ." Raising his head to meet Emperor Wei's scrutinizing gaze, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Even if you don't kill Wang Yu today, if you can't demote him, I'm afraid there will still be trouble. Now using Qin Huaiyi's hand to demote Wang Yu, it can calm the situation. Qin Huaiyi's dissatisfaction can give an explanation to the people of the world. In the future, history books will not judge too much whether His Majesty's move was inappropriate."

Pei Jiaoran's voice paused here.

Emperor Wei lowered his eyes and said nothing. This was a conspiracy that the monarch and his ministers had reached before. Regardless of whether they could regain Heshuo or not, Wang Yu would be pushed out as a dirty glove. Zhang Rang, who was standing beside the king, stared at Pei Jiaoran intently.

Knocking on the table with his fingers, Emperor Wei had a cold look in his eyes. Pei Jiaoran was cutting him off, removing him as the emperor from the rebellion. This pushed it onto the pre-selected chess piece Wang Yu, and at the same time cleverly answered another question from him. Qin Huaiyi's dissatisfaction stems from Wang Yu. As long as Wang Yu can leave the center, Qin Huaiyi will obediently suppress the rebellion and will not rebel.

These words were quite deliberate, but they did not allow him to face the fact. Only by abandoning Wang Yu can the conflict caused by the power struggle be stopped. On the contrary, the disaster of war will still exist.

Emperor Wei raised his eyes and said in an indifferent tone: "Okay. Draw up an edict for me to blame myself. Although the Prime Minister is responsible for yin and yang, as the emperor, I must reflect on myself. In addition, you can draft an edict to demote Wang Yu as the new king. State Sima."

"Here."

Pei Jiaoran gathered up his clothes and stepped out. She knew that this was the biggest concession that Emperor Wei made to Qin Huaiyi as an emperor.

On the second day after Emperor Wei demoted Wang Yu to Sima of Xinzhou. Qin Huaiyi, who had been stranded in Ludian for more than half a month, finally led his troops to Benqiao.

At the same time, Li Xiujing, who had returned from the Heshuo battlefield, also led the Shence Army to Dongwei Bridge.

In the Shence military camp. Li Xiujing had a gloomy face, folded her hands and supported her chin, and placed in front of him a copy of the book titled Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi.

The book is written by Pei Jiaoran. Originally it was not her turn as the Minister of Household Affairs to do this, but she did it anyway. Although it was in a quite standard style, he always felt that there was a kind of provocation in every word.

Turning his eyes to the official who was responsible for delivering the letter, Li Xiujing asked tentatively: "Shang Shu Pei, don't you have anything to tell me?"

"General Li, Shangshu Pei is very busy with affairs. Even the most humble ministers have not been able to see her very often." Li Zuo said cautiously.

Li Xiujing suddenly raised his eyebrows, and Pei Jiaoran clearly did it on purpose. It makes people think that she is very busy, but she still takes time out of her busy schedule to write and produce books for His Majesty. Remind him of her presence.

After sending the envoy away, Li Xiujing lowered his eyes and looked at the book on the case. When he was in Dingzhou, he heard that Yao rebelled against his strict order and Emperor Wei rushed to Fengtian. He felt that this matter was probably her handiwork, and now that Wang Yu was demoted, he was even more convinced of this idea.

With his thoughts at this point, Li Xiujing couldn't help but sigh. Maybe he should be lucky that he is his ally. Otherwise, he would really die on the battlefield like Mao Dezu.

But now that he's back, he has to ask her to pay off the debts she owed.

"How's it going at Liu Dexin's camp?" Li Xiujing called Feng Yuanxian in and asked.

Feng Yuanxian bowed, "They knew that nothing happened after Liu Dexin was killed for disturbing military discipline."

"That's good. Where is Qin Huaiyi?"

"Still standing still at the bridge."

Li Xiujing's eyes darkened when he heard this. He came back from the battlefield of Heshuo. Although he recruited sergeants along the way, he only had 4,000 soldiers, who were unable to fight against Qin Huaiyi's army. Therefore, he beheaded Liu Dexin and annexed his troops because he was guilty of plagiarism in the defeat of Hujian. The reason is to be wary of Qin Huaiyi.

But now Qin Huaiyi is standing still, and he is very curious about what the other party wants to do?

"Second order, the entire army must not loot and disturb the people. Anyone who violates military discipline will be killed." Li Xiujing said in a deep voice.

"Here."

The Shence Army stationed troops in Dongweiqiao for half a month, while Qin Huaiyi also stationed troops in Xianyang to rest and recuperate, with no intention of sending troops.

In Fengtian City, Pei Jiaoran looked at the memorial table she had intercepted. Qin Huaiyi requested that Li Xiujing lead the Shence Army to join forces with him. She could not guess what his intention was. But if you think about it carefully, it's probably not a good idea.

but……

After returning the memorial to the chamberlain, Pei Jiaoran turned and left. Return to the public house to count the rations supplied to the Shence Army.

The salary of the Shence Army is far higher than that of other armies. Qin Huaiyi repeatedly petitioned Emperor Wei to re-allocate rations to Shuofang's army, but she suppressed them all. The reason is nothing more than that the food delivered by the Jin and Shang Yun Roads is limited. No matter how she plans, she can only ensure that the Shence Army will not run out of food.

If you want Shuofang Army to be the same as Shence Army. Unless she could remove Cai Xilie and connect the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, there was nothing she could do. Her harsh treatment of Shence's army triggered a rebellion, but she couldn't do what Cao Mengde did, so she killed the grain supervisor on charges of theft to appease the army's morale.

Playing with the langhao pen in his hand, Pei Jiaoran took up the pen and wrote a letter. Seal it with fire paint and ask your assistant to hand it over to Li Xiujing immediately.

On the third day after the letter was sent, Emperor Wei issued another order to Li Xiujing to join Chen Taoxie and Qin Huaiyi in the west of Xianyang.

Next to the Shence camp, Li Xiujing stood with his hands behind his back. Looking at the vague outline of Fengtian City in the distance, his eyes were deep.

"Bah, what does Qin Huaiyi mean? The garrison has not sent troops here for several months, and now we are here and say that their people don't have good food, and their mounts don't have good food, so what are they going to fight with?"

He Liang complained dissatisfiedly on the side.

"Don't complain, he is outnumbered. The only advantage we have is that His Majesty is willing to allocate food, and they have to plunder the people in order to fill their stomachs." Feng Yuanxian looked at Li Xiujing and continued: "I do I feel...Qin Huaiyi is very likely to be secretly contacting Dugujun."

"I'm afraid she is deliberately plotting against Qin Huaiyi again." Li Xiujing murmured.

"Who?"

Li Xiujing raised her lips and said nothing.
