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

"Why don't you step back quickly?" The prince glanced at Yuan Rui and shook his head, "The emperor is giving you a banquet today, so why bother to make false statements to anger your majesty."

After speaking, the prince turned around and returned to the table. However, the prince had just taken a few steps when he heard Yuan Rui continue: "If Your Majesty is unwilling to accept the advice of the common people, the common people would rather not be an official and return to the countryside."

The prince paused when he heard this. He originally thought of giving this person a few tips, but he didn't expect this person to be so dishonest. Now that I heard such words again, I suddenly felt my head buzzing. Even when dealing with foxes like Pei Jiaoran and Jia Gonglu, he can handle them with ease. But he couldn't do anything with such sincerity. Looking up at Emperor Wei, the prince frowned.

He didn't know if what he just said would offend Emperor Wei. But now he must not speak for Yuan Rui anymore.

Before he could return to his seat, he heard Jia Gonglu say, "Oh, it's a pity that this man is so honest."

"Why did Jia Qing say this?" Emperor Wei asked with great interest.

Jia Gonglu smiled slightly and said: "I just think that this person's sincerity is rare. But he said such treacherous and unethical words just after he ascended the throne. In my opinion, there is someone behind this. It may be the remnants of the rebellious party. "

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei turned to look at Yuan Rui, who was kneeling down, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Oh? Someone instigated this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran became more vigilant. He quickly glanced at Jia Gonglu.

I only heard Jia Gonglu say: "It has only been more than half a year since Dugujun's rebellion was put down, and now the imperial examination is taking place. Bao Buqi is someone with ulterior motives who took the opportunity to criticize the government and consolidate his power. I just saw Pei Shangshu and this man saying Let’s talk.”

When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Pei Jiaoran. Who in Chang'an didn't know that Pei Jiaoran first sought refuge with Jia Gonglu, and the two seemed to have a lot of personal grievances. Now everyone's faces were solemn when they heard this.

Pei Jiaoran held the wine glass, his eyes twitching. A pair of eyes seemed to hide a sharp edge, and his hands were like sharp knives. These words seemed to be unintentional, but in fact they pushed her to the forefront and were very vicious.

Since Wuchang Li's death, she has been trying her best to erase the shackles of her master and the shadow of her attachment to the family. He speculates on the king's thoughts and divides the interests, spares no effort to complete the king's arrangements time and time again, and uses this to plan for himself. Even the promotion of self-taught hands is to better divide the interests of the family and consolidate the imperial power, so as to dilute the shadow of the master. In Heshuo, she risked her life because she wanted to leave a mark on the imperial power with her blood.

But Jia Gonglu's words almost made her plan fail. Even if Emperor Wei still wanted to use her, his trust was gone. Disaster will lurk nearby.

Pei Jiaoran quickly stood up from the table, walked to Yuan Rui and knelt down, "Your Majesty clearly knows that I don't know this person. I can reach my current position only because of Your Majesty's grace. When Dugujun rebelled, I was in Fengtian My Majesty, how can you collude with the rebels? I really don’t know why Xianggong Jia came to say this. If your Majesty has any doubts about me, I am willing to let Yushitai investigate."

As he spoke, Pei Jiaoran took off his hat, bowed his head and bowed.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that the common people do not know Pei Shangshu. What they just said are the words from the bottom of their hearts." Yuan Rui explained quickly, his body trembling a little.

When she stopped talking, Pei Jiaoran pursed her lips and closed her eyes. What she just said was to retreat in order to advance, but she didn't expect Yuan Rui to act like this. His righteousness and courage were of no use to her, and instead became a knife handed to Jia Gonglu.

Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Yuan Rui. The tone was quite serious, "Mr. Lang was blessed by heaven and was able to enter Chang'an to take the examination. Now that he has ascended the throne, he should serve the imperial court well. How can we misunderstand His Majesty's painstaking efforts in establishing the Privy Council due to rumors in the market. If you read the history books, you will know that if the government is all The consequences of being in the hands of one person? Deposing the emperor is just a matter of a thought. You have not yet been appointed an official, and you do not know the operation of government orders. How can you generalize about everything because of personal bias."

In this world, only with strength can you step onto the table of power. The people at the poker table use great righteousness to construct a beautiful world, which is actually full of various benefits. The reason why the eunuchs could compete with Nanya was because Emperor Wei wanted to use them to contain Nanya's ministers. If she exposes Emperor Wei's thoughts now, she will have to repeat the same mistakes tomorrow, and her hatred will turn into bones. The prince could stand by and watch if he didn't wake up Yuan Rui, but she had to wake up Yuan Rui. Let him clearly understand the current situation and better preserve his strength.

She hoped that Yuan Rui would not bite the bullet and push Emperor Wei to the cliff. Hurry up and surrender to the emperor. History books leave to the world not only examples but also bloody lessons. Among the three monarchs and eight heroes who were involved in the disaster of party conscription in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which one was not of vital importance at that time, and which one was not the best at that time. What they left in the history books was to warn those who came after them that before they had the strength, any dangerous action would be to seek death.

Sincere people like Yuan Rui and Fang Jianyue should not be sacrificed in this meaningless struggle. The premise is that Yuan Rui can understand her painstaking efforts.

Emperor Wei smiled and said, "Pei Qing's talents will benefit the country and the people. I know it. This person's words are indeed rebellious and must be investigated. Immediately send this person to the censor's prison, pending investigation. As for Pei Qing, he will also join the imperial censors." The history is pending investigation to show fairness."

After hearing Emperor Wei's words, Pei Jiaoran relaxed his eyebrows. Not putting her and Yuan Rui into Shence Prison was the best result. Yushi Prison is much better than Shence Prison.

The Feast of Deer Crying has come to an end. Emperor Wei got up and left with the prince and others. Two waves of Jinwu guards took Pei Jiaoran and Yuan Rui away respectively.

When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Lu Zheng.

The Jinwu guards who were escorting her quickly stopped and saluted when they saw their commander in front of them.

Lu Zheng frowned and looked at Pei Jiaoran, wondering: "What's going on?"

"It's nothing." Pei Jiaoran smiled and looked at Lu Zheng, "But I have something to trouble General Lu. Go to my house and tell Zhou Mancao and tell her. I won't be back for a while, so please take care of Bi Fei and herself."

"You're calm." The prince's voice reached his ears from not far away.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at the prince who was walking towards her, with a smile on his face, "Your Highness."

"It is not a good thing to enter the Yushi Prison at this time." The prince frowned, "Then Yuan Rui is really unethical."

"Red blood can kill people." Pei Jiaoran looked at the prince with a smile.

"you……"

By the time the prince came to his senses, Pei Jiaoran had already followed Jin Wuwei away. He cherishes talents and loves talents, but he also feels that Yuan Rui is not suitable to stay in the government. The balance in the court situation changes subtly, and it is impossible for one person to break the rules of imperial power to check and balance the power of the prime minister.

And Jia Gonglu maliciously dragged Pei Jiaoran into the water, undoubtedly to remind Wei Emperor how this strong competitor of Zhongshu Ling got to where he is now. Pei Jiaoran took the initiative to accept the investigation from Yushitai. In addition to self-protection, it was also a political signal. She had been wronged for no reason, so she naturally needed to redress her grievances. The result of redressing her grievance was to force Emperor Wei to give her a reasonable comfort.

He thought his father also saw Pei Jiaoran's intention. This is the only way to go with the flow...
