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

The prince continued to walk forward, his pace slowed down unconsciously, and he gradually walked side by side with Pei Jiaoran. The wind blowing from the sea pool fluttered their robes, the sky was cloudless, and the chirping of birds came from the peach trees on both sides.

Pei Jiaoran turned his head and glanced at the prince. The prince's face looked even more tired than before. Under the slender sword eyebrows, there was a hint of gloom.

After walking on the corridor for thousands of steps, the prince suddenly stopped and said, "I am really impressed by Prime Minister Pei's change today. It was often said that a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. I am curious as to which tree Pei Qing plans to choose to roost."

Pei Jiaoran smiled when he heard this, "Then I dare to ask Your Highness, do you want a loyal minister or a good minister?"

"If I only want..." The prince hesitated for a moment and looked around. Suddenly he looked at Pei Jiaoran with a smile and asked, "Is Gu only a loyal minister who is loyal to Gu?"

Pei Jiaoran was not a person who could only express his words. Hearing these words, he directly met the prince's eyes and said without fear, "In my opinion, those who rule the world in ancient times are good ministers, and good ministers are more important than loyal ministers. Good ministers are talents that can be used. Now, Although the vassal towns are peaceful, they are not well maintained and there are still ambitious people hiding in them. There are also silverfish in the court, and there are many foreigners who are eyeing them. In this way, the available talents should be used to govern the world, as for the loyal ministers..." There was something in her throat. There was a chuckle, "Although a loyal minister is loyal to the emperor, if he has no talent, the so-called loyalty is just the duty of a minister."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince's expression softened slightly. In recent years, since his father intentionally or unintentionally favored the King of Wu and fought against him, although his life was not difficult, because Jia Gonglu was a member of the King of Wu's party, he relied on his status as a poor family to recruit many knowledgeable people from poor families for the King of Wu. There are only a few people he can rely on. Now that Pei Jiaoran suddenly said such words to him, he couldn't help but think deeply about the meaning behind it.

The prince's forehead veins popped out, and his lips twitched slightly. He closed his eyes and sighed, walked to the peony garden on one side and stood still.

"My mother and my father were married when they were young and walked side by side for many years. In the ninth year of Taishi, Prince Ru and the King of Shu wanted to kill my father. My father resisted desperately and killed them first in Beiyuan. My father was finally made the prince and then successfully ascended the throne. But my mother fell ill because of protecting me, and her health deteriorated day by day. My father prayed to the gods and Buddhas to help my mother get better, but in the end he couldn't keep her." The prince's hand fell on the white jade fence, and his five fingers were clasped on the thick On the bright stone pillar, "My father once swore in front of my mother's soul that he would never depose the crown prince. Over the years, my father has indeed kept his promise and has high hopes for me. But no matter how much he swears, he can't stop others from eyeing the position of crown prince." "

Pei Jiaoran was speechless upon hearing this. The prince lost his mother when he was young, and was brought up personally by His Majesty. Although he moved out of the Riseijeon Hall after that, he often came and went from time to time. The love between father and son is indeed unparalleled. However, with the birth of King Wu, the prince's gradually demonstrated abilities also made Emperor Wei feel a little afraid, and he became closer to King Wu. Intentional or unintentional connivance also made King Wu more and more wanton.

What the prince said is true. Not to mention the Tian family, other aristocratic families, and even ordinary people from poor families, as long as they have the opportunity, they will not develop ideas about their family property. It is rare to see a prince in the storybook who cares about the landscape and just wants to be free. After all, we are all sons of the emperor. Why can only you sit on the throne and I can't?

As for the prince and Emperor Wei. The two of them were king and minister first, then father and son.

"Prime Minister Pei, although there are many talented people in the court, I still want to invite you to the East Palace." The prince turned his head and extended his hand to her.

"Your Highness, although there are good trees in the East Palace, the time has not yet arrived. If I were to stay here, I might be burned by thunder from the sky." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "When the Jingzhe arrives, all things will be safe. I am willing to hunt for an auspicious sign for Your Highness, and may Your Highness prosper forever." Never fade."

The prince wanted to say more, but suddenly he glanced at Pei Jiao Ranxu and pointed to one side. He reacted instantly and said, "A Ruo has told Gu Yan many times that he misses you very much. If Mr. Pei is free, why not come to the East Palace to visit."

"If I have time, I will go to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess."

The two said goodbye at Suzhangmen.

Seeing that it was still early in the day, Pei Jiaoran walked out of the palace city from Yong'an Gate and walked along the Jiacheng City to the Shence Palace. The fish talisman lit up and he entered smoothly.

Although she had only been here a few times, she was already familiar with the location of the school grounds. Walk up the stairs to the corridor and look towards the school grounds.

The Shence Army was training on the school field, while Li Xiujing on the general stage not far away was talking to He Liang beside him. Behind him sat a middle-aged man, wearing a deep purple robe, and the bright armor inside was particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.

Compared with Li Xiujing's serious face, the middle-aged general leaned lazily on the back of his chair and talked to the chamberlain beside him. Laughing loudly from time to time.

"General Zuo Shence?" Pei Jiaoran murmured.

After watching it for a while, Pei Jiaoran felt bored. He turned around and walked towards Li Xiujing's apartment. He sat down on the chair and flipped through the book on the table.

I don't know how long I watched, but I heard footsteps coming from the door. Pei Jiaoran suddenly stood up and hid in the inner room, hiding behind the screen and looking at the door with a smile.

"General, General Tian is going too far. The emperor's review is not your business alone, so he doesn't care about anything." He Liang complained and started to help Li Xiujing take off his armor. "If something goes wrong, what will happen to him?" Get away."

As the armor was peeled off inch by inch, the robe and middle coat were also taken off. Li Xiujing wrung out a cloth from a wooden basin filled with water and wiped herself.

"As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can do anything." Li Xiujing seemed to have noticed something, frowning and said: "You should go and have a rest. Instruct the cook to make more good things tonight."

As soon as He Liang went out, Pei Jiaoran walked out from behind the screen. He leaned against the screen with his arms folded, looking at him with a smile.

"When did you come? Why didn't anyone tell you?" Li Xiujing put down her towel, put on her middle coat and walked toward her.

"Half an hour ago." Seeing Li Xiujing getting closer and closer to him, Pei Jiaoran stepped aside, "Can you tolerate him?"

"Lu Su? After all, he is also a distant relative of Lieutenant Bai. Many people betray his reputation. It is quite annoying, but now is not the time for me to take action." Li Xiujing grabbed Pei Jiaoran's hand and put it on his chest. "Or do you have a good idea?"

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips and pinched the bulge on his chest in a playful manner. Looking at the other person's frowning expression, he said warmly: "You have to let me think about it. Of course, if you give me some reward, maybe I can think faster."

Glancing at the hand pressed against his chest, Li Xiujing said, "How about you go to the Spring Hunt and let me hunt a pair of eagles for you, and you can keep them for fun?"

"They are soaring in the sky without any problems, so why bother to imprison them in a cage." Pei Jiaoran squinted and looked out the window, "Didn't you say you want to make me soft body armor? When do you plan to give it to me?"

"It's almost finished. I will hand it over to you before the spring hunting." After finishing speaking, Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran. Kissing her on the forehead, "I have to be on duty tonight, so you should rest early."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded.
