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

"The Five Gates of the Emperor. It is impossible for Your Majesty to come back from the north. It is too far to go east to Bashang. Mingde Gate in the south is the most suitable place to come back." Pei Jiaoran walked out from behind the screen wall, glanced at Li Xiujing, and continued: "It just takes a little more time."

Logically speaking, Emperor Lubu set out from Xianyang, passed through the Weishui River, and then crossed the Zhongwei Bridge into Chang'an. This is the fastest way. However, Emperor Wei valued the majesty of the emperor. If he returned to Chang'an from the capital, wouldn't he live up to his idea of ​​having the Shence and Jinwu armies to greet him.

The emperor abandoned the city and fled. In the final analysis, it was a thing that harmed the country's prestige. No matter what happens, the people cannot be reminded of this.

"Sigh. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while longer." He Liang shook his head and sighed.

"Then just wait." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Anyway, she expected that Emperor Wei would change his mind.

But the emperor changed his mind. These ministers below cannot leave too late.

The group of people rode horses towards the Zhuque Gate. After checking the family registration, they entered the imperial city in two columns.

All the officials who had been restored to their posts in front of the Taiji Hall were wearing official uniforms of corresponding ranks. On the top of the city, the three-chen sun and moon flags fluttered in the wind.

Li Xiujing, who was standing in front with the Shence generals, looked back at Pei Jiaoran. She didn't know who she was talking to, and there was a smile on her lips.

Among all the high-ranking officials, she looked high-spirited with a smile on her face.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing couldn't help but curl her lips. This is her own meritorious service, and it deserves so much attention.

Just as he was thinking about it, the faint sound of gongs and drums came from the sky, and the soldiers stationed on the top of the city also changed their flag language.

It is the emperor who has entered the Mingde Gate.

The emperor, who had been away from Beijing for a year, finally returned to Chang'an after traveling to many places. Zhuque Street was bustling with activity, and Jin Wuwei was responsible for maintaining vigilance among the crowd.

Emperor Wei, who was sitting on the jade chariot, raised the curtain and waved to the people on the street with a loving look on his face. Surrounded by the laughter and praise of the people, those who wanted to conquer the country were reduced to nothing. The praises of the country for accepting Heshuo are endless.

The officials who came back with him were also in great spirits.

Zhang Rang, who was serving beside the imperial chariot, raised his head and looked at the Zhuque Gate in front of him. The emperor has not yet returned to Beijing, so it is naturally impossible to truly reward him based on his merits. But the emperor ordered Pei Jiaoran to serve as the assistant secretary of the school, and asked her to assist Jing Zhaoyin in judging the guilty officials.

This new Jingzhao Yin Su has no idea. How can I get better under Pei Jiaoran's hands? He stayed in Chang'an as an informant and sent him a message.

Situ Cui Shao and Pei Jiaoran were very close.

With his thoughts at this point, Zhang Rang quickly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Wei who seemed to be immersed in the worship of all the people. He suddenly couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking. While giving power to Pei Jiaoran, he also suppressed her secretly and quietly.

As the carriage drove to Zhuque's door, the noise gradually died down.

"Zhang Rang, what are you thinking about?" Emperor Wei asked with a smile.

Zhang Rang, who was wandering in his mind, was called back to his thoughts and said hurriedly: "I am thinking about rewarding the ministers this time, and I am afraid that a large amount of money will be withdrawn from the inner treasury."

"Rewards for merit and punishment for delinquency." Emperor Wei smiled, "This is only fair. Zhang Rang, you are also my confidant, I will not make your life embarrassing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty." Zhang Rang touched his head to the ground, his tone full of emotion.

At this moment, all the ministers stood together on the Dragon Head Road in front of the Tai Chi Hall. As the sound gradually progressed, everyone held back their voices and stood up straight. The one in the front row was the Shence Army led by Li Xiujing.

The jade chariot stopped, and the sound of the mountains shouting "Long Live the Mountain" could be heard.

Emperor Wei lifted the curtain and looked at the Shence Army in front. The generals' armor and uniforms are shining, and the soldiers are also in strict military discipline. Looking around everyone, he nodded with satisfaction. But his eyes crossed the Shence Army and landed on the senior official Fu Zi.

He immediately caught sight of the young purple-robed official in the crowd. She was in the crowd and compared with the people around her. Somewhat out of place.

Young female minister.

But this man is inexplicably easy to use as an emperor's sword. He skillfully figured out his thoughts and gave him a satisfactory answer. However, she is still too ambitious.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wei was stunned. There is nothing wrong with this. Only those who are ambitious can do things for him and curb others.

Holding Zhang Rang's hand, he stepped out of the carriage. Surrounded by the emperor's guard of honor, the officials stepped back to make way for the royal road. The three princes walked in front, and the officials walked behind according to their rank.

Jia Gonglu deliberately took a step behind and looked at Pei Jiaoran, who was in the third rank, with a smile.

"Mr. Jia." Pei Jiaoran cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Pei Shangshu has done a great job this time." Jia Gonglu stroked his beard. Although there was a smile on his face, his tone was cold, "But being too aggressive is not a good thing."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran cupped his hands and said, "I will remember Mr. Jia's teachings."

Although she and Jia Gonglu were almost at odds. However, as a minister of the same dynasty, you still have to give him the face he deserves.

Seeing that Emperor Wei was about to step into the Tai Chi Hall, Jia Gonglu rolled his sleeves and returned to his position as the chief official of the three provinces.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Emperor Wei walked towards the throne step by step, gathered his clothes and sat down. The hanging beads on her crown swayed lightly. The emperor's deep eyes looked through the hanging beads at the courtiers below holding ivory tablets.

The traitors have been eliminated, and all that remain are loyal ministers and good generals. From now on, Dugujun's vassal generals with heavy troops will no longer appear in Tai Chi Hall. The three towns of Heshuo also bowed their heads in front of the emperor's steps.

There was also Wang Yu, who was very ambitious and lacked ability, so he was demoted from Chang'an. Even an innocent minister like Cui Ning was hanged in Fengtian.

Turning his eyes to the general, Emperor Wei smiled. Needless to say, veteran generals like Xu Yan should be the first to contribute to Fengtian's protection. And young generals like Li Xiujing and Lu Zheng also have their own merits. Especially Li Xiujing, in addition to his first contribution to the recovery of Chang'an, he also contributed to quelling the rebellion in the Heshuo feudal town.

Fortunately, he was able to win many battles, which greatly enhanced the power of the emperor's personal army. It was enough for foreign vassals not to dare to despise the imperial court.

This time, except for the serious troubles like Heshuo Fan Town. Although the process was ups and downs and arduous, and it was like walking on thin ice, the outcome was still that the imperial court was better. This achievement...

Emperor Wei's eyes instantly moved to the civil servants.

Zhongshu Ling's seat was empty, and no one stood there. Pei Jiaoran was still standing in the position of Minister of Household Affairs, his expression as gentle as ever.

Sensing Wei Emperor's gaze, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips. She could see that Emperor Wei still felt a little sorry that Wang Yu was demoted and killed.

I'm afraid that Zhongshu Ling's position will remain vacant for a long time.

After all, both the imperial power and the prime minister hope that the government will always maintain a balanced situation. Wrestling with each other. Under the balance of rain and dew, you can get what you want.

Raising his head to meet the emperor's scrutiny, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips in a sharp arc.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran who looked directly at the emperor without fear, Emperor Wei also smiled.

She seemed to be challenging the holder of imperial power.
