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

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing chuckled. The answer she gave was vague, even a little uncertain, but it seemed to be the best answer she could give.

He pulled her into the water again. It doesn't matter, there is still a long way to go. Under the hearty bumps, Pei Jiaoran sighed.

There was also a knock on the door, reporting something important. Li Xiujing turned his head and said "I know", and then slowly retreated. With the bright candlelight in front of his eyes, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but close his eyes. He glanced at her.

"I'm afraid it's news about Dugujun."

After Li Xiujing finished speaking, he walked out. The guards patrolling outside are all his cronies. He also told me to come here to find him if anything happens.

Led the soldier who sent the message to the opposite verandah, and Li Xiujing learned the situation from him.

Pei Jiaoran pinched his eyebrows as he stared at the ceiling of the tent. She led Dugujun to Baihuamen, originally hoping to capture him alive. Unexpectedly, Li Xiqian fought tooth and nail to protect him and allowed him to escape. It is interesting to say that Emperor Wei also fled westward, and Dugujun also fled westward from Chang'an. After going around and around, the two of them bumped into each other again.

Just as he was thinking about the sound of footsteps coming from the door.

"Dugujun was killed by Jingyuan Liuhou. Zhou Wenyi was escorting Yan Lingyao and the others back." Li Xiujing returned to the bed, taking off her clothes and lying down as she spoke, "This Jingyuan Liuhou was given to Fengtian before. After that, he surrendered to Dugujun. Now he has killed people again."

Listening quietly to Li Xiujing's words, Pei Jiaoran sneered and said: "He is showing his loyalty to the court." After thinking about it, she continued: "Don't send the body back. Let Zhou Wenyi cut off his head. It was first reported to Liangzhou."

"Jiajia and I have the same view." Li Xiujing smiled.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing. She didn't care whether it was the same or not, but she wasn't happy if someone came to share the credit. What's more, it's still a wallflower. Originally, according to her idea, Dugujun was captured alive and handed over to Emperor Wei for disposal, and the credit went to Shence Army.

But Dugujun escaped, disrupting her plan. And his death surprised her even more. The best way now is to let the people from the Shence Army go to Liangzhou to offer their heads in person. Lest this achievement fall on the local government again.

Trouble seems to be increasing. Pei Jiaoran murmured.

The next day. News about the Shence Army repelling Dugu Jun's rebels and retaking Chang'an. Finally, it spread to 108 squares and corners in the east and west cities.

The city was filled with cheers and cheers. At the same time, Xu Mian's army also arrived in Chang'an City. Stationed in the west, looking at Chang'an City in the distance.

Watch Li Xiujing leave. Pei Jiaoran put on the deep purple robe of a third-grade official and went to Li's Mansion. She and Li Sikong had made an agreement that once Chang'an was recovered, he would come forward to summon the talkative people from the aristocratic families in Chang'an for her.

With Pei Jiaoran's appearance, the discussion in the room gradually stopped. She looked around the room. Except for the rebels who had surrendered to Dugujun, most of the aristocratic families who had not had time to escape were already there.

With a smile on his face, Pei Jiaoran said softly: "I have wronged you all these days. At present, the Shence Army is still clearing away the remnants of the rebels in Chang'an. But please rest assured, the Shence Army will protect you and others."

At this time, everyone glanced at her. Then he asked, "May I ask Pei Shangshu, can the good news be presented to Da Tianting? In addition, who of the Shence Army and the Jinwu Guards captured the rebels?"

When these people heard that the Shence Army had recovered Chang'an, they began to speculate. His Majesty was forced to flee Chang'an, and it was the Jinwu Guards who fought to protect him. After the battle at Heshuo was decided, it was the Shence Army who led thousands of miles of cavalry to help and fought fiercely for several days to capture Chang'an. On the one hand, high achievements mean that Nanya will rise again, while on the other hand, it means that the power of the eunuchs will rise again.

Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly. The sharpness between his brows and eyes and the gentleness in his gestures coexist, and against the background of Dake's dark purple robe, it is like the sun shining in his eyes. The long fan-like eyelashes covered her eyes and lifted up with her movements. Her eyes wandered to the source of the voice, and the tip of her lips slowly raised. He seems to have seen through their purpose and doesn't care about it.

"How you decide on this merit is up to your Majesty. It's up to you and me to decide. You guys should be careful in your words and deeds to avoid getting into trouble."

Li Sikong on the side slightly raised his lips. The Minister of Civil Affairs next to him tugged at his sleeve and said, "This Minister Pei is so overbearing."

Looking away from Pei Jiaoran, Li Sikong lowered his voice and said: "She is very human, and she deserves to be treated differently by His Majesty. Now there is a vacancy in the center, and she intends to do so. If we don't have any means, how can we convince the public?"

This Pei Shangshu has lost her previous courtesy and humility, showing her sharp teeth to the outside world.

The person who spoke was Shangshu Zuo Cheng. At this moment, Pei Jiaoran blocked him with a word, showing dissatisfaction on his face. He was kind enough to remind him because he admired Wuchang Li. One position is vacant in these three provinces. If she is sensible, she should know how to make more plans for Nanya, so as not to be hindered by Beisi in the future. After all, everyone is currently concerned about the division of credit, so that they can take control of the affairs after His Majesty returns.

However, the reason why Pei Jiaoran dared to do this was entirely because she asked Shence to go to Liangzhou to offer her head, and she also asked the Blue Immortal to wrap the dew cloth in the name of auspiciousness. After all, Emperor Wei wanted to regain Chang'an, but he was more concerned about the division of credit later. If part of the credit is directed to receiving the blessing of Ziwei Star, then its meaning will be different.

As for Xu Mian. Li Xiujing's decisiveness caused him and his troops to lose the first opportunity to recapture Chang'an. At the moment, Yue Mo is looking for the remnants of the rebels, and they will come back to collect rewards for their outstanding achievements. She is still willing to give this little benefit.

Realizing that everyone was looking at him, Pei Jiaoran collected his thoughts and asked everyone to sit down. Everyone is of the same rank, only their qualifications are different. In the current situation, no arrangement is appropriate. Except for Li Sikong and other three gentlemen who were at the top, the others were seated according to their qualifications. Pei Jiaoran also sat nearby.

Seeing that Li Sikong was silent, Situ Cui Shao on the side spoke with a smile, "The rebels are making trouble in the capital, and they have many soldiers. They have threatened us several times to serve as officials of the puppet government. We live here just because we want to witness the king with our own eyes. The division was restored. Unexpectedly, it was the expeditionary Shence Army who finally regained Chang'an. I heard that General Li, who led the army this time, recruited troops and horses along the way and rushed back to Chang'an to rescue him? And he won many battles, quite like Xie Youdu back then. It is true that a tiger father has no dog sons, and he is also a role model for us!"

Everyone listened to his words and smiled. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An was playing chess with his nephew Xie Xuan in Bieye when he was fighting with the Qin coalition forces before the Feishui War. When he heard the news that his nephew had won, he replied to someone else's inquiry, "Young men can destroy thieves." Of course Cui Shao was affirming Xiao'er's achievements in breaking the thief, but he was also using the Beifu Army to emphasize the significance of the Shence Army's existence. According to the "Book of Jin", the Beifu Army became a tool for the internal power struggle in the Eastern Jin Dynasty two years after the Battle of Feishui. Although he became the main force in the Ping Sun En Rebellion, the Beifu Army was captured by Huan Xuan not long after. At this point, the soldiers of Beifu were divided among Zhuhuan.

The current political situation is turbulent, and it is a good time to redistribute interests. They had not been able to deal with Li Xiujing before, but now they were paying attention again. The huge power dividend is just around the corner, which also means that more and more people will be snooping, and it will be difficult to coexist. Such a problem, according to precedent, would be cold-blooded destruction. Unless someone is willing to explicitly cede power, silence is a sign of approaching danger.

After glancing at Cui Shao, Pei Jiaoran remained silent. The Shence Army and the Beifu Army are actually different. The Shence Army is a force subordinate to the emperor, while the latter is more of a private tribe. This was also one of the reasons why Xie Xuan was seized of power in the end.

Su Jinghui, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, answered, "Pei Shangshu. Where is this traitor now?" Since the other party was unwilling to answer the division of credit, he asked another question. Capturing the leader of the rebels was also a great achievement.

Pei Jiaoran looked regretful when he heard about it, "The traitor knew that he would not be able to escape the death penalty, so he tried his best to escape. On the way, he was killed by the Jingyuan he appointed to stay behind. General Shence cut off his head when he arrived and presented it to Liangzhou. Yes. It is estimated that the time should be around the same time as Lubu to present it to Tianting."

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard such news. This Jingyuan Liuhou came out of nowhere. After killing Dugujun, he actually asked the Shence Army to offer his head to Liangzhou Xingzai. This sudden force made the division of credit become closer and blurred.

At this time, Cui Shao couldn't help but say, "It is hard for the country to tolerate people like these who are both leaders and rats after staying in Jingyuan."

"As the saying goes, knowing a mistake can make a big difference." Pei Jiaoran took a sip of tea and raised his lips, "Besides, he has sent food and grass to Fengtian, so it is easy to deal with it. Don't look down on him." When we talk about merits in the future, maybe I can’t do without someone else.”

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and started discussing in a low voice. This credit is already a piece of cake, and someone else will step in. Wouldn’t the other two parties have to fight even more fiercely?

"Having said that, such capricious people are always a disaster after all." After someone expressed their dissatisfaction, they continued: "I hope your majesty can see this person's face clearly and don't let the villain blind him."

Zuo Cheng, the minister, coughed a few times and said leisurely: "It is rare to be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Why bother to investigate his past. The right way to govern the country is to ignore past resentments and recruit talents."

After looking at the minister Zuo Cheng, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and said, "What Zuo Cheng said is true." His eyes passed over everyone again. She sighed.

The vacancy of Zhongshu Ling has caused countless people to show their claws.

Want to fight? Then let’s fight. As for grabbing credit, we have to see if they have the ability.

"There will be a banquet in the army tonight, I will say goodbye first." After that, Pei Jiaoran stood up, bowed and left.

Everyone looked at her and hesitated to speak.

A junior's humble compliment was enough to make them not know what to say. Any more words would make it seem like they are relying on their old age to show off.
