"I... there are many people who have given advice in ancient times, but not all of them are seeking to leave a name in history. I am a poor person. In this life, I do not seek to be famous in history, but I hope not to fall behind what I have learned. If unfortunately I die, I just hope that the world can remember me. Just keep admonishing." Yuan Rui's voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, he was drowned out by Pei Jiaoran's laughter.

Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and sat down, pouring a cup of tea. Pointing to the shadow of the clerk at the door, he smiled and said: "Look at the two people outside. They have worked in the Yushitai for most of their lives, but there is no hope of promotion. Is it because they have no ability? Yes, they have the ability, but Someone is blocking their way to promotion. Do you think that there are people in the court who speak up for you because they can't stand the power of the eunuchs? No, there has been no shortage of sincere advisers in the court over the years, but why can't they still be shaken? status. It’s because their strength is not enough and their words are not weighty enough.”

After a pause, she continued: "Although you are from a poor family, you dare to speak out in front of others. They have seized on this, promoted you and made you a target of the eunuchs. Although you are of poor origin, you Blood-heat. Let you die, and eventually spill your blood on people like you. And they only need to shout at the right time, "The internal affairs are causing harm to the country", and there will be thousands of you , stand up and speak out for this matter.”

Glancing at the wall on one side, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "As for Ming Liu Qing Shi. If you die in the Censor's Terrace, Ming Liu Qing Shi will not be your turn. Those who speak bluntly and quickly are nothing more than a handful of dust, and those who speak bluntly and know how to adapt will be like this." Talent will be recorded in history."

Yuan Rui took a deep breath and looked up at the door. The shadows of the two officials were still reflected on the door. He really doesn't know how to adapt, and he doesn't know how to figure out the thoughts of the superiors. According to what he heard, those people were running to speak out for him. But are they really running to speak out for him?

Looking at Yuan Rui's expression, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. Not all emperors are like Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, who can humbly accept the advice of his ministers and open up a wide range of opinions. And not everyone can master the skillful advice of Duke Xuan Cheng. Admonishment is a behavior that reflects people's political ability, but there are only a few people who can master it.

"Next time the censor comes to interrogate you, just admit your mistake." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smiled: "Following the moment is the most useless behavior. You have to think more about it later."

Although she wanted to use Yuan Rui's blood to suppress Zhang Rang and others, this meaningless sacrifice at the moment would most likely push the favorable situation into an irreversible situation. Especially when Emperor Wei's attitude was ambiguous, she was even less likely to take risks. Emperor Wei's attitude was quite important to her.

The more important aspect is that if the Privy Council is really removed, Emperor Wei will disrupt the situation of the court. Nanya and Beisi actually have a mutually restrictive relationship, and it is also a disguised mutual dependence. When one force completely dies, internal fighting begins.

Yuan Rui sat down with a lost look on his face, as if he had been awakened. His eyes were staring straight at the candle on the table.

"What should I do?" Yuan Rui's voice was dull.

However, just as Pei Jiaoran was about to speak, the door was pushed open. I saw Cen Xi standing at the door with a solemn gaze, "Your Majesty has summoned you and Yuan Rui."

Yuan Rui looked stunned when he heard this. Just now Pei Jiaoran said that those who spoke for him had ulterior motives, but now His Majesty suddenly summoned him again. Tears flashed in his eyes, obviously because of this.

Glancing at Yuan Rui who was about to cry, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at Cen Xi suspiciously, but did not receive any reply.

Pei Jiaoran suppressed his doubts.

After cleaning up at the Yushitai, the two were escorted by Jin Wuwei to the Wude Hall.

Today's Wude Hall is a bit lively.

The prince is naturally there. Except for a few people from the political affairs hall, the minister of official affairs and the minister were all present. Even Cui Shao is there.

After the two of them had saluted, Emperor Wei glanced at Pei Jiaoran. Then he looked at Yuan Rui, "Do you still insist on your opinion?"

"I……"

"Your Majesty, I think Yuan Rui's outspokenness is correct. Please spare his life for his courage to speak out." Zuo Pushe spoke at the right time.

Pei Jiaoran glanced sideways at the left servant, and the tip of Pei Jiaoran's lips raised slightly. These people are all important people, but they speak out for Yuan Rui. No matter how you look at it, it's all hidden. Especially when she mentioned something like this to Yuan Rui.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at Yuan Rui. Just as she thought, Yuan Rui's eyes filled with tears.

She was thinking. I only heard Jia Gonglu say: "Your Majesty, Yuan Rui has a strong temperament. Although he is young, he is not without merits. I think this person dares to speak out and his courage is commendable. Why not make an exception and let this person enter the Yushitai. After a lot of tempering, , can also become the pillar of the country."

After Jia Gonglu finished speaking, others looked surprised. It seemed that he didn't expect that he would actually speak for Yuan Rui.

Realizing that the prince was looking at him, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing.

How could he be so kind as to speak for Yuan Rui? There must be something fishy in this.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked at Mr. Jia in surprise at this time and said, "Didn't Mr. Jia say a few days ago that Yuan Rui was instigated by the rebellious party? He also said that Pei Shangshu was in cahoots with him."

After saying this, the Minister of Civil Affairs looked at Emperor Wei with a serious expression, "I think we should investigate Xianggong Jia strictly."

Yuan Rui froze on the spot and looked at Zuopushe and Jia Gonglu at a loss. He has never even met Jia Gonglu, so how can he collude with him? Do people from these aristocratic families like to frame innocent people inexplicably like this? He lifted up his clothes and knelt down, kowtowing, and said: "Your Majesty, you are a common man and has no party members, let alone anyone's instructions. Even if you want to accuse me, please provide real evidence."

The Minister of Civil Affairs sneered, "You come from a poor family, and Xianggong Jia always likes to recruit talented people. His Majesty just summoned you today, and he spoke out for you, and even promoted you to the Yushitai. Tell you two There is no collusion, please provide evidence."

Pei Jiaoran, who was pushed to the center of the discussion, glanced at Yuan Rui, who was at a loss, and looked away.

Yuan Rui took a deep breath and continued: "I have been in Chang'an for two years, and I have lived in the temple for the past two years. I have never been to the court of Mr. Jia. How can I provide evidence for this fact?"

At this time, Cui Shao said: "Xianggong Jia's demeanor is to benefit the country and support the people. Your Majesty knows his character best. Lu Shangshu should not make false statements. Even if there is a mistake, it should be decided by Your Majesty."

Seeing that he was trapped in the quagmire by Cui Shao, Jia Gonglu smiled slightly and calmly defended himself, "Your Majesty, what I did before was indeed selfish, but it was also for the country. After the chaotic party was eliminated, some people attacked the imperial decree. How could we not let it go? People doubted it. Then the ministers read Yuan Rui's articles and found that he was indeed a talent. If he was killed because of his outspoken advice, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world? Lu Shangshu said that the ministers and Yuan Rui colluded to frame Pei Shangshu, Don’t you know if I had known him earlier, why would I have to do this drama?”
