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

Staring at Pei Jiaoran. Jia Gonglu smiled slightly, ignored him, and walked away. The King of Wu's ceremonial guard was in front, followed by the ministers. A group of people marched toward Chang'an in great formation.

Looking up at Chang'an Gate, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but raise his lips. She already felt the power calling her, and the wonderful feeling was irresistible.

Sensing that someone in the crowd was looking at her, Pei Jiaoran turned around and looked over. Seeing it was Li Xiujing, she raised her eyebrows and silently said the word "An Xin".

Zhuque Street was also lively, and both sides of the street were crowded with people watching. Some people are shouting that Mr. Pei has made great achievements this time. Pei Jiaoran stared blankly at the crowds on both sides, feeling all the glory added to him at this moment. But this situation is not appropriate.

This time she is a herdsman from Daitian, so how can she take over the glory of the Emperor?

After thinking for a moment, Pei Jiaoran signaled the sergeant beside her to hand the scepter to her. Hold the staff high above your head and move forward with your head held high. She walked with the Emperor's Scepter, indicating that it was because of the Emperor that she received this honor.

It wasn't until he entered Chengtian Gate that Pei Jiaoran breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding the staff high, he and King Wu entered the Tai Chi Hall under the guidance of the chamberlain. The remaining officials of third rank and above are waiting in the West Wing Hall.

"My subject, Pei Jiaoran, was ordered by the emperor to go to the Jianghuai River to clean up the prostitution temples, build rivers to create people, and change the bad governance of the Salt Palace. Fortunately, I have been blessed by the emperor, and I have lived up to my command. I appear before you to return the scepter." Pei Jiaoran's voice was clear and clear, echoing in the hall. Like water entering a silver vase, people can't help but take a closer look.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei smiled slightly and motioned to King Wu to help Pei Jiaoran get up, "Pei Qing has gained a lot from this trip, and I am very pleased. You have worked hard all the way, so go and rest first."

"Yes." Pei Jiaoran took the order and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhang Rang beside the throne and raised his lips.

"King Wu, Zhang asked you two to retreat first." Emperor Wei waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to retreat together.

After the words fell from his ears, King Wu glanced at Zhang Rang. Seeing him nodding towards him, the two of them bowed and exited.

After a while, the prince came out of the side hall and was about to salute. But he heard Emperor Wei say: "Heng'er. You won this game."

The prince stepped forward and held Wei Emperor's hand, and said comfortingly: "Although it was my son's idea to abolish Buddhism this time, my father, you have also gained something, haven't you? Her trip to the Yangtze River and Huaihe River has made Buddhism no longer a threat to the court. The obscene sacrifices have also been eliminated. More importantly, all taxes from the Jianghuai River belong to Zuozang."

"Go back to Zuozang?" Upon hearing these four words, Emperor Wei shook his head and chuckled. He knew that his son's governing philosophy was completely different from his own, but he was not angry. He even had some expectations. He wanted to see how his son would govern the world. But now, it seems that his son has been tricked by his subordinates. With a sigh, he said: "What about after returning to Zuozang?"

"For many years, the chamberlain has used His Majesty's power to interfere in state affairs and embezzle taxes. Pei Jiaoran personally went to Jianghuai to eliminate the disease, and all the taxes from Jianghuai went to Zuozang. If Zuozang is rich, the world will be safe." The prince thought for a while and continued: "My minister, because he is a Sweep away the calamity of eunuchs."

Emperor Wei was silent when he heard the words and smiled helplessly. He understood that the prince wanted to form an alliance with Pei Jiaoran. Even though the two had different political ideas, the general direction was still the same. It was a pity that Pei Jiaoran was far more perceptive than he thought and did not directly respond to any of the prince's appeals. Likewise, his son seems not to fully understand the relationship between imperial power and power.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Wei looked at the prince with a solemn expression, "Heng'er, do you think you can control Pei Jiaoran after I die? Or if she wants to follow Huo Guang's story, how will you handle her?"

This minister has the ability to imitate Yin Huo.

The prince was speechless upon hearing this. At this time, Pei Jiaoran had already walked out of Chengtian Gate.

He told her to rest, but Pei Jiaoran did not leave immediately. Instead, he went in the direction of Menxiasheng.

Before entering, you can hear the discussion inside. After standing at the door and thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran suddenly opened the door. Several people inside the door turned to look at her.

Meeting everyone's gaze, Pei Jiaoran smiled and asked, "Are you public security officers?"

Her voice was gentle and her eyes were gentle. However, it makes people feel a bit chilly.

Wang Guolao glanced at her and simply closed his eyes without saying a word. Cui Shao looked away, while Cen Xi smiled and stroked his beard.

Pei Jiaoran calmly asked, "Whose idea was it to play "Taihe"?"

At this time, Cui Shao answered, "Isn't it true that King Wu is good at making decisions? I don't know who instigated him to do this."

When these people saw Pei Jiaoran face the saint alone, they had some guesses about what she did in Jianghuai. The person who came from a noble family was even more keenly aware of a new power hiding beside her. The obscene sacrifices in Jianghuai were eliminated and the salt policy was reformed. Without local support, it would be difficult for her to do anything she did. And she has done so many things, and there must be an exchange of interests between both parties behind it.

Pei Jiaoran raised her chin slightly, and the spring light shone on her face through the flowers carved on the window. A pair of peach blossom eyes covered by long eyelashes were like spring water shining on a cold person, and his eyes wandered to Cui Shao. The corners of his lips were still curved into a smile. It was as if he had seen through the hidden thoughts behind him.

"Does King Wu have such a brain? Since you and I have the same interests, why should we have two minds?"

Hearing this, Wang Guilao opened his eyes and said, "Mr. Pei, why are you so arrogant? All of you here are your elders."

Hearing the word "elder", Pei Jiaoran looked at Cen Xi. Although the tone is still gentle, the listener feels a chill in his heart for no reason, "My surname is Pei, which is different from the other surnames. I don't dare to climb up to you. If you have second thoughts, please draw a clear line with me as soon as possible." .”

After saying these words, Pei Jiaoran stood up and left. Having come this far, if she didn't sharpen her edge a little more, these people would really think that she was a pawn that was unfortunately sacrificed.

"Cui Situ, you are confused." Cen Xi shook his head.

"I just don't want to see her so arrogant. She brought in the Heshuo gang, and then used the southern clan. The more benefits she gets, the more we will remain the same as before." Cui Shao said in a bad tone, "Take advantage of the opportunity. , it’s time to teach her a lesson.”

"But you have also seen it. This raccoon dog is very cunning, and she will stab you if you are not careful. You and I still have to be careful."

"Cui Situ, not only did you fail to teach her a lesson, but you also got caught by her. This little raccoon is just afraid of biting you." Wang Guolao narrowed his eyes, "While this little raccoon is in the limelight, It wouldn’t be bad to let her bite other people more.”

"Don't worry. She won't break up with us just yet, but Mr. Cui, please don't get in her way." Cen Xi looked at Cui Shao and said solemnly, "If Nanya wants to restore its glory, we must ensure that we work together. "

After all, Cen Xi had real power and qualifications. Even if he was not among the Three Gongs and Three Divisions, Cui Shao was quite polite to him.
