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

The Jinwu Guards who escorted Pei Jiaoran had received Lu Zheng's orders and were respectful all the way. Even Yuan Rui also enjoyed such treatment.

After all, I had stayed at Yushitai before, and as soon as I entered, I met many familiar faces. Pei Jiaoran ignored their probing glances and smiled, not bothering to explain why he came, and walked to the Tuiju Room in a familiar way.

When the two censors on duty arrived, Pei Jiaoran had already entered the tuiju room, leaving only Yuan Rui still stunned.

Jin Wuwei, who was responsible for escorting Pei Jiaoran, stepped forward and politely handed over his hand. The reason why these two people were taken to the Yushitai was revealed.

The two censors looked at each other, and their gazes on Yuan Rui softened. After Jin Wuwei left, he called the jailer to take him into the Ju room to await trial. He was imprisoned next door to Pei Jiaoran.

Hearing the noise coming from next door, Pei Jiaoran yawned lazily. Sitting cross-legged on the bluestone couch, thoughts came to his eyes.

Although in a sense she was not willing to sacrifice Yuan Rui, if the sacrifice was valuable, it was not impossible.

After all, she went out from the censor's desk, and the two censors on duty did not embarrass her. He also specifically asked the jailer to send him brand new bedding and clean tea sets. Even the two meals a day are specially prepared from the public kitchen and delivered.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't leave the tuiju room, others would have thought she was here to play in the tuiju room.

While the jailer was delivering the meal, Pei Jiaoran made insinuating inquiries. Yuan Rui's current treatment is no worse than hers, but Yuan Rui will not accept any overtures. He insisted that your Majesty abolish the Privy Council in order to revitalize the government.

Staring at the sunlight coming in from the windows on the wall, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath. Although Emperor Wei did not issue any decree, the Yushitai still interrogated the two people according to the rules.

I have seen Pei Jiaoran's ability to resist interrogation. Wei Taiduan was almost always present in person. But after asking for half an hour at most, he would have to leave.

Just as Pei Jiaoran was thinking about it. With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open. I saw the two censors leading Cen Xi and Li Sikong into the tuiju room and standing at the door.

The four people who came were all old acquaintances. Needless to say about the latter, the first two censors had followed her to Heshuo and were quite familiar with them. After serving tea, he took the initiative to say goodbye and stood guard at the door.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran who was calm in front of him, Cen Xi said, "You're not in a hurry at all. What's going on?"

"Of course, as Jia Gonglu saw, Yuan Rui and I said something." Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath, with a look of shame on his face, "Red blood is rare, but rumors can be sharpened. I am just a cold body, I only hope to be able to defend myself in front of others. .”

"You are forcing your Majesty." Cen Xi frowned and looked at Pei Jiaoran.

"The Biography of Huo Guang in the Book of Han said that Shangguan Jie and King Dan of Yan falsely accused Huo Guang and asked Emperor Zhao to get rid of him. Emperor Zhao refused. When Huo Guang heard the news the next day, he stopped in front of the hanging portrait of Duke Zhou and refused to enter the palace. Emperor Zhao refused to enter the palace. An imperial edict was issued to summon him in person. Huo Guang entered the palace and confessed that he was guilty, but Emperor Zhao said that Huo Guang was not guilty. After that, Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang and others were all defeated." Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "What does Mr. Cen think of my move?"

With his eyes fixed on Pei Jiaoran, Cen Xi sighed.

"Did you know that many courtiers have already written letters to Yuan Rui?"

"I'm not surprised."

"Yuan Rui is next door. According to the current situation, Jia Gonglu will definitely attack Yuan Rui again." Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at the earthen wall beside him, and said calmly, "And Zhang Rang and others will also take the opportunity to suppress Nanya power."

Knowing that what Pei Jiaoran said was true, Cen Xi said: "You once said that Cao Mao used the blood of the emperor to make the Sima family shameless for future generations. Now you should recommend Xuanyuan with the blood of a scholar. What are you going to do?"

"Let me have a good talk with Yuan Rui." Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "After the talk is over, what else needs to be done to make it worthwhile."

She knew the purpose of those people who wrote letters to Yuan Rui. It's because the relationship between Nanya and Beisi, and even with Jia Gonglu, is already at a life-and-death situation, and there is an urgent need to use the blood of others to change the existing situation. Yuan Rui, who had no one to rely on, the higher he was praised by them, the more weight his death would have. Only then can Zhang Rang and others be despised by the world.

On the other hand, Yuan Rui must die worthy. It was also to make Jia Gonglu lose the political hope he had established in front of a poor family. As for them not speaking out for themselves, it is also a political statement. She has always had the yoke of betraying her master and taking refuge in Jia Gonglu. If Yuan Rui's death cannot be made worthwhile, then she will bear the brunt of the indignation from the poor family.

He acquiesced to Pei Jiaoran's proposal. Cen Xi, Li Sikong and others took refuge in the penthouse, and left her and Yuan Rui alone in the empty room next to the penthouse.

This was the first time Pei Jiaoran saw Yuan Rui after three days.

Compared with the high-spirited before, Yuan Rui in front of him was obviously much more decadent. The light in his eyes was also swallowed up by fear and annoyance when he saw her.

Looking at Yuan Rui, Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "I have seen Lang Jun's article. The article is frank and outspoken, and it is indeed good to criticize the current ills. Today, Lang Jun is willing to abandon the inferiority and inferiority with Pei and speak frankly?"

In the side room, Cen Xi and Li Sikong heard Pei Jiaoran's words clearly and looked at each other. Everyone nodded and continued to listen carefully.

Yuan Rui was slightly stunned, but the other party's tone could not have been more calm. It doesn't sound like a threatening order, nor does it have any airs. On the contrary, it seemed like ordinary chatter. The guilt in my heart is even heavier. You must know that the Pei Jiaoran in front of you has reached a high rank at a young age, and now he is a third-rank official in charge of a department. Being able to talk to him like this is already a huge honor.

With a slight sigh, Yuan Rui bowed his hands and said, "I deeply admire Pei Shangshu's style, which benefits the country and the people. I am lucky to be able to speak frankly with you."

"Mr. Yuan Lang is pregnant with red blood, and I admire him too." Pei Jiaoran's eyes moved, and his tone was calm, "Mr. Yuan, are you from the Yuan family in Runan, right? I think you have many local friends in Chang'an."

Hearing this, Yuan Rui sighed. He was not from an aristocratic family, but came from an ordinary family. He usually saved up travel expenses by copying books for others. When he was waiting for the exam in Chang'an, he studied diligently and did not socialize with others. His classmates knew his temperament and did not invite him. Listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, he said: "Pei Shangshu misunderstood, I am not the Yuan family in Runan. My home is just a thatched hut and an acre of wasteland. But even though I am a poor person, I don't know about the disasters of eunuchs involved in politics. So there is not much. People are willing to fellowship with me. But I heard there are still many people who are willing to speak up for me.”

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly, "Since you know that this is a long-term disadvantage, you should know that eliminating the disadvantages cannot be achieved in a day. Regardless of whether Yuan Jun's move is useful or not, does Yuan Jun know the purpose of those who speak out for you? Human beings exist in the world. , you should have some wisdom to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. They may not be doing your best to give you advice. They are just trying to use your blood to achieve their goals. If you really die, they may not do it for you. You sing.”
