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

When the word "Wang Qi" came into his ears, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and quickly glanced at Emperor Wei. Wang Qi is a symbol of the emperor's fortune. This is what she arranged for the Blue Immortal to present to Emperor Wei that day. Firstly, it was to ensure that the Shence Army's achievements were within a controllable range, and secondly, it was to dispel the emperor's fear of Li Xiujing.

Now King Wu brought up this topic again when Emperor Wei was about to erect a memorial monument for the Shence Army. He rejected the idea of ​​erecting the Shence Monument at Dongwei Bridge, and instead erected the Monument Monument in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple is not a place that ordinary people can enter. It was just standing there for a bunch of memorial tablets to look at. This move was contrary to Emperor Wei's idea of ​​erecting a monument on the East Wei Bridge. The monument commemorating his achievements was erected on the East Wei Bridge. It was something that Emperor Wei wanted to present to the people while standing on his imperial power, and it was an important way for the people to feel the existence of the imperial authority.

Emperor Wei on the throne glanced at King Wu, then turned to look at Pei Jiaoran, "Does Pei Qing think this monument should be erected?"

"It is natural to make meritorious deeds. Dongwei Bridge is the Chang'an waterway transshipment hub. Erecting a monument here will allow merchants to pass on the achievements of the dynasty and let the people of the world know that the authority of the imperial court still exists." Pei Jiaoran replied.

"King Wu, I ask you again what is kingly aura?"

After hearing this, King Wu lifted his clothes and bowed, "The king's aura is the aura of the emperor. And your majesty is the emperor...the emperor should...be..."

Listening to King Wu's stammering words, Pei Jiaoran looked at the prince below the throne.

Noticed her gaze. The prince quietly raised his hand, raised a finger, and made a silent gesture.

It seemed that someone had dug a hole for King Wu. and successfully pushed him down.

Under the prince's gaze, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Emperor Wei sighed, "Leave this matter to the general supervisor. I know that Pei Qing has great literary talent. You can write the inscription for me and copy it and give it to Li Xiujing."

"Here."

After glancing at the prince and King Wu, Emperor Wei said: "The three towns have returned, and the envoys are on the way. You will come up with a plan for the three towns as soon as possible. I hope that the three towns will no longer wander around. I am a little tired, prince, King Wu, you two come with me."

King Wu stood up tremblingly. Just as he was looking for help, the prince went up to support him. She pulled him with enthusiasm and followed Emperor Wei and Zhang Rang into the inner hall.

Until Emperor Wei was helped by Zhang Rang to sit down, the two of them stood still holding their breath.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Wei picked up the Piyong inkstone on the case and threw it at King Wu. Seeing that Piyong Inkstone was about to be thrown at King Wu, the prince pushed him away and blocked it for him.

The Piyong inkstone hit the prince hard, and the prince groaned. He turned to look at King Wu next to him, who looked stunned, and shook his head at him.

"Brother..."

"I'm fine." The prince said solemnly.

Looking at the prince, Emperor Wei snorted coldly. His eyes fell on King Wu, "Look what you did! Someone dragged him down and caned him twenty times."

After all, King Wu was also a prince who was favored by Emperor Wei. He had never seen such a battle before and was instantly panicked. He quickly kowtowed and begged Emperor Wei for forgiveness.

Looking at King Wu. Emperor Wei slapped the table, laughed in anger, and scolded: "You evil son! I only ask you. Who instigated you to say these things to me."

King Wu pursed his lips and spoke, "It was... I thought of it myself, without anyone else's instructions! Although the Shence Army is the emperor's personal army, once a monument is erected for them, it is inevitable that someone will take the credit. Therefore, I talent……"

Listening to King Wu's words, Emperor Wei slowly sat down. After pondering for a long time, I still felt that it was really not something that King Wu could come up with. He mentioned this idea to his close relatives on the way back to Chang'an, but he postponed the discussion until today because he wanted to see the attitude of other people in Chang'an. But now King Wu rejected his idea of ​​erecting a monument and hoped that he would erect a monument in the Ancestral Temple.

It was a shame he could think of erecting a monument in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Who can see the monument erected in the Ancestral Temple? Is it useful for our ancestors to see it?

It was obvious that someone was secretly digging a hole for King Wu. Enticing him to jump in. This person hides in the dark, quietly stirring up the wind and rain. If he did not erect the monument at the Dongwei Bridge but instead erected the monument at the Ancestral Temple, it would be a denial of Shence's achievements. People also cannot feel the authority of the state. He couldn't think of anyone with such a position. But it is obvious that this person intends to use King Wu to destroy the prestige established by the center.

After closing his eyes, Emperor Wei said coldly: "Okay, go back and spend a month behind closed doors."

"Thank you, father." King Wu said hurriedly.

After ordering Zhang Rang to send King Wu away from the back hall, Emperor Wei moved his eyes to the prince.

"Go back and let the doctor take a good look at the injury."

"Yes."

Everyone outside the palace saw Emperor Wei leaving. Naturally, they didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so they left one after another.

After saying goodbye to Cui Shao and Cen Xi, Pei Jiaoran walked on the road alone. As we walked, there was another person in front of us.

"What to do?" Pei Jiaoran stopped and smiled.

"Aren't you hungry? You haven't even taken a few bites." Li Xiujing stepped forward and took her hand, "Let's go. I'll take you to Shence Gong Restaurant. What do you want to eat?"

Although the meal was given by the emperor, the taste was really unflattering. He is a man of the army. When Feng Dian was sleeping in the open air, he also chewed cold and hard dry food, and was not particularly particular about his food.

Just now he saw Pei Jiaoran frowning. He knew that the food given by Emperor Wei was not to her taste. She moved her chopsticks symbolically a few times, then put them down and sat in silence.

Looking at him, Pei Jiaoran whispered, "You are not afraid of outsiders knowing about your relationship."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing chuckled. The two of them went to Shence Gong's house together.

He followed Li Xiujing into his apartment. Pei Jiaoran stood in front of the window and looked at the soldiers practicing on the battlefield not far away.

"How many people did Xu Yan transfer?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

"Three thousand elites." Li Xiujing handed the tea to her, "What do you think about the memorial monument..."

He took the tea cup from Li Xiujing and took a sip. Pei Jiaoran Dao: "It's to appease you and show merit to the emperor. There is nothing wrong with the commemorative monument. It is good for you and the imperial power."

"No wonder you said that just now. But has King Wu been tricked? I see that you have been looking at the prince. Could it be that the prince did it?" Li Xiujing asked.

"Not entirely. The erection of the memorial tablet will directly affect the prestige of the imperial court. It is better not to erect it in the Ancestral Temple." Pei Jiaoran smacked his thumb on the rim of the cup, "But looking at the prince's appearance, I think he probably knows about it. As for whether he deliberately guided King Wu to say this, it's hard to say."

Although the position of vice president is stable, the prince is not unscrupulous. On the way to escape, King Wu took the limelight. Counterattack after returning is also a common drama in the power field.

"The prince was looking for you that day to win over you. I remember you said you didn't agree to him that day?" Li Xiujing leaned against the window and looked at Pei Jiaoran.

"Your Majesty still has power. It is not a wise move to get involved at this time." Pei Jiaoran played with the cup, "Besides, the position chosen when the time is right will often bring different rewards."
