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

As soon as the Zhengshitang meeting ended, Pei Jiaoran declined the offer of a dinner and went directly back to Zhongshu's official kitchen in another province. Not to mention the taste of these old men, in this hot summer, you can smell it if you are even close.

Back in the other provinces, Pei Jiaoran asked his servants to go to the public kitchen to help her get a portion of Sophora japonica Lengtao and Sushan. I washed my hands in the copper basin and walked slowly to the desk and sat down.

Pei Jiaoran propped up his cheeks and tapped the table with his fingers. Looking at the pile of documents, he began to calculate the workload of today. There are only a few days left until August. Once August is over, the days will not be as leisurely.

Her eyes wandered around, and something at the bottom caught her eye. That's a corner of the letter. He carefully pulled out the letter and opened it, all in one movement.

The letter was written by Li Xiujing. The letter dispensed with salutations and conventional pleasantries.

"I will be returning home soon, and I look forward to traveling with you on Chinese Valentine's Day. I saw this flower by chance on the road, and I thought it was very beautiful, so I picked it and gave it to you."

After reading the letter, Pei Jiaoran took out the flowers from the letter. Although it is close to withering, its former appearance can still be seen. Smelling the faint fragrance of the flowers, she smiled. He stood up and put the flowers into the wooden box on the low cabinet beside him.

After dinner, Pei Jiaoran began to deal with the documents related to the case. Su Jinghui's delegation of power intentionally or unintentionally allowed her to dominate Zhongshu Province, but the increasing number of documents in her hands also meant that the risks were increasing.

After opening the window, apart from the sounds of birds chirping and swaying leaves, the sound that filled my ears the most was the footsteps of the servants coming in to replace the tea.

Pei Jiaoran didn't look up until it was gradually tilting. She glanced and saw that it was almost time to get off the mark. Putting down his pen, he got up and left the public room, heading towards the censor's platform from the remote side.

It was almost dusk, and the crows that had been perched on the Yushitai flew back one after another, circling and calling in the sky. I found Yuan Yanchong's apartment with ease.

The door was suddenly pushed open, causing both people in the room to turn their heads in surprise.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Yanchong frowned.

"The political affairs hall has agreed to impeachment. I am not allowed to come and see the censor." Pei Jiaoran glanced around and saw another person holding something and seemed to be writing something. He smiled and said: "The censor must first impeach Bai." , and then it can be submitted to the Political Hall. Even if you want to impeach me, you will not be able to get to the imperial court."

Hearing this, the man looked up at Pei Jiaoran and then at Yuan Yanchong.

"Pei Qingjia, this is Li Jing, the imperial censor sent by the imperial court to inspect Jiannan Road." Yuan Yanchong explained.

"Li Yushi." Pei Jiaoran nodded and found a seat to sit down. "Have you thought about the consequences of impeaching so many people at once?"

Li Jing held up his hand and said, "It's a blessing that I can come back alive. If I can't punish them, I'll be sorry for your majesty's trust, and I'll be sorry for the people of Jiannan."

"No wonder your Zhongcheng wants me to protect you. When this matter is understood, how about coming to Zhongshu to study abroad?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

"Pei Jiaoran, how could you rob someone like you?" Yuan Yanchong scolded angrily.

Taking a sip of the freshly brewed tea on the table, Pei Jiaoran spoke in a gentle tone, "His impeachment has offended most of the officials in Jiannan. It will not be good for him to continue to stay in the Yushitai. It is better to go to Zhongshu. Provincial."

Although he knew that Pei Jiaoran's words were reasonable, Yuan Yanchong was still a little reluctant to give up.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Yanchong said: "Why don't you ask him?"

"The official is willing to go to Zhongshu to study abroad." Li Jing replied.

After listening to Li Jing's words, Pei Jiaoran squinted his eyes at Yuan Yanchong. Just look at it, I said it. He would be willing to go to other provinces in Zhongshu.

Seeing that Li Jing had already said so, Yuan Yanchong couldn't say anything more.

Yuan Yanchong said: "There is something. Zhang Rang intends to let the Privy Council continue to take over Nanya's documents."

After looking at Li Jing, Pei Jiaoran said, "Yuan Zhongcheng and I have something to say. Please step back."

When Li Jing went out, the sound of footsteps gradually became distant. Pei Jiaoran put on a cold face and said, "I have wasted so much effort before the Privy Councilor was hampered. How could it be that Zhang Rang just wanted it to revive?"

"In the past, that Yuan Langjun once asked Your Majesty to remove the Privy Council at the Qionglin Banquet, but ended up taking his own life. His blood..." Yuan Yanchong shook his head, "I don't know how much effect it can have. "

Pei Jiaoran's voice was slow, "He has only been dead for more than a year. It is not important whether anyone still remembers him. What is important is that his blood was particularly hot. Inciting the Imperial College and students from all over the country to cause trouble is obviously useless, but will be counterproductive. The censor is responsible for impeachment. , it is the matter of Zhongshu Province that is best left to the admonishment officer."

Each department performs its duties. Although it is possible to remonstrate and impeach others, remonstrance is a test of the remonstrator's eloquence so that the king can truly accept the remonstrance.

"Yes. In short, we must not let Zhang let him get what he wants this time. It's just His Majesty's side..."

Pei Jiaoran did not answer. Emperor Wei supported Zhang Rang and agreed to let Zhang Rang take over the Nanya head with the Northern Division because he wanted to strangle the power of the prime minister.

"This matter needs to be discussed with Shizhong Cen and the others. Find the most suitable person to advise. It seems that we will give the benefit to Your Majesty." Pei Jiaoran said.

In the struggle between imperial power and power, one side raised its head and the other bowed its head. It is obvious that both father and son, Jin Shang and the Crown Prince, are committed to making the imperial power prevail over the prime minister's power. But it’s really not that easy to implement. Even if Jia Gonglu is reused, it will only cultivate another powerful prime minister.

The sound from the Drum Tower reached the public room, and Pei Jiaoran glanced at it and said, "Let's go, it's time to show off."

The two of them left the Yushitai one after another.

Since he would not be able to bathe tomorrow, Pei Jiaoran simply left the city and headed to Zhongnan Mountain. In summer, Zhongnan Mountain is quite suitable for summer vacation.

Cui Boyu, who was watering the flowers in the garden, saw Pei Jiaoran coming in and said with a smile: "My lady came just in time. I made some perilla drink."

"It's been a long time since I drank Uncle Boyu's perilla drink." Pei Jiaoran sat down in the pavilion, "Where's my brother?"

"The husband is in the house. If you want to eat anything else, I will cook it for you." Cui Boyu put down the kettle and said with a smile.

When he entered the room and saw Pei Zhanran playing chess by himself, Pei Jiaoran took a step forward. He stopped him enthusiastically and picked up the white piece. The brother and sister played against each other.

Both of them are masters of this method, and they can kill repeatedly. Even Cui Boyu came in to remind them that the food was ready. The two of them also waited for a cup of tea before going out to eat.

As if remembering something, Pei Jiaoran looked at Cui Boyu, "Hasn't the Cui family come to look for you recently?"

Hearing this, Cui Boyu hung his chopsticks in the air and frowned, "I have no official status and have been away from home for many years. Cui Yuzhang would come looking for me in the past, trying to catch up with the girl. But they found that I could not provide help to the Cui family. There was no more correspondence.”

"That Cui Situ came here once before. In order not to be exposed, Uncle Boyu built a bamboo house next door. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Pei Zhanran said.
