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

Pei Jiaoran's few sentences directly hit the pain point that emperors of all ages could not bear, let alone face. For example, although Yuan Rui and Li Jing both had the courage to remonstrate with Duke Xuan Cheng during Taizong's reign, not all monarchs were willing to accept the remonstrances of their ministers. But if the monarch not only refuses to accept the advice, but even kills the remonstrating officials. He left more infamy than good name in the history books of later generations.

Squinting at Pei Jiaoran, who looked calm and calm in front of him, Emperor Wei lowered his eyes. Although what she said was a cliche that she was used to hearing, she was still able to present her interests without making anyone think she was being self-important. She controlled this very well, and she couldn't help but feel a little more fond of her.

The long silence made the servants serving in the palace become a little nervous. From time to time he looked up at the two of them. The heat spreads throughout the palace with the wind blowing in. It makes people a little irritable.

The skylight that came through gradually approached the hem of the yellow clothes on the throne. Pei Jiaoran, who is under the throne, is wearing a purple robe with a pair of wild goose nests, and he has a single line of sky light floating on him. Although his face was as cold as frost, it seemed as if he might throw himself into the fire at any time, fluttering his wings in the fire and burning everything.

He knew in his heart that Emperor Wei was silent and was probably waiting for him to find a place for him to get off. Pei Jiaoran thought for a moment and smiled. "To pay homage to the wise is to set an example for ministers. Those who remonstrate with others are ministers of the country, treasures of the country, and respected by wise kings. If Your Majesty is not the Holy Lord of Mingjun, how can any of your ministers be willing to give advice? "Your Majesty, you will be able to attract wise and loyal ministers if you never tire of being remonstrated with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wei suddenly laughed loudly. The laughter ringed in his ears, causing Pei Jiaoran to look up at Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei stopped laughing, stroking his beard and said: "You raccoon is really eloquent. Since you are the prince's young master now, you should refrain from sophistry in the future, and don't teach my prince bad."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "I will remember your Majesty's teachings."

Pei Jiaoran let out a long sigh after leaving the Lizheng Hall. After standing in front of Chengtian Gate for a long time, he returned to Zhongshu's other provinces and went straight to his office.

He leaned on Ping Ji with a tired look on his face. Although she is not afraid of fighting against Wei Emperor, one thing she knows very well is that her current power is given by the king. So every time she had a game with Emperor Wei, she had to deal with it carefully, so as not to be kicked off the throne by the emperor inadvertently.

After finally waiting until the next shift, Pei Jiaoran followed the subordinate officials from other provinces and went out. Not far from Zhuque Gate, I met Li Xiujing and Changsun Jigui.

"Mr. Pei." The eldest grandson Jigui stepped forward to greet him with an eager face and said with a smile: "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded and said, "Go ahead."

"Xuan Yin and I have a few old friends who came back to pay their respects, and we plan to have a get-together tonight." Changsun Ji returned.

"Go ahead. It just so happens that I have something to do tonight." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing and smiled meaningfully, "You can make up your own mind before it's too late."

After Pei Jiaoran walked away, the eldest grandson Jigui glanced at Li Xiujing curiously and said, "When do you two plan to get married? It shouldn't be that easy for her to enter your house, right?"

After hearing this, Li Xiujing paused and said calmly: "This road is difficult, and wind and waves can come at any time. Neither she nor I are in a hurry. Besides, I can enter her house..."

Some things don’t need to be said to outsiders. He loves her, and he has already tasted his sincerity, and he is willing to give it to the pines and cypresses. Even if some people criticize his behavior, it doesn't matter, he is willing to be a supporter and help her to go to the top of the world. Even if future generations shame him, it doesn't matter, he is willing to be the author of the whip, to see her take a unique turn in the history of history and write a successful book. The Spring and Autumn Period that will last forever. Why bother fighting for other imaginary things and making her hate him? She overcame all obstacles to reach a high position, and he looked up from the audience. It was a blessing.

With this thought, Li Xiujing smiled. He also has his way.

After separating from Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran returned to Wubenfang, changed his clothes, and went straight to Wu's house. What I said just now is not suitable to be said in the public room of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Wu Lingjia had just returned home and heard a report from a servant that Pei Jiaoran was here. He went out to greet her in person and took her to his study.

Looking around, although the furnishings in the house are the same as before, there are still many new things added. This is also the first time she has returned to Wu's house since Wu Changli passed away.

After Pei Jiaoran sat down, Wu Lingjia took out two rain-stained sky-green tea cups with lotus petals from the wooden cabinet and poured tea into them.

After blowing away the rising mist, Pei Jiaoran said slowly, "Isn't anyone from the Wu family looking for you?"

"There must have been some in the beginning. However, it is not difficult to send these people away." Wu Lingjia said, "Now that I have taken real power, they dare not say a word. If you don't mention them, Jiajia, you are at this time Come to me, is there something wrong?"

"Su Jinghui is such an eyesore, I want to kick him off." Pei Jiaoran stroked the rim of the lamp with his thumb, "I have reached the current position and have saved enough. If I can't go further, things may easily change."

It's not because of her desire for power, but because she has many people with interests around her along the way. Waiting for her to go further and fulfill the political dividends promised before, so that they can obtain more benefits.

If she cannot go further within the limited time, these people may very well stab her. This is the cruelty of politics. Once you fail to give your followers political dividends in time, they may betray you.

"Many people in the court say that Su Jinghui is the prime minister, and Zhongshu has all the power. That's true, but he has always trumped you in terms of reputation." Wu Lingjia looked at Pei Jiaoran, "I still have some respect for you. It’s a constraint. And if he avoids you, it’s probably because of those people’s instructions. It’s obviously useless if you do it directly.”

Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Yes. So I have sent people to Wuwei to investigate the Su family's behavior over the years. The Su family relied on providing funds to the Cui family to push Su Jinghui up. Without enough family assets, how could he Zhongshu Province is on the rise.”

"If there is evidence, it would be easier to handle. But someone has to expose this matter. Do you have a suitable candidate?" Wu Lingjia asked with a frown.

"Jia Gonglu." Pei Jiaoran grinned with a gloomy expression.

"Him? He may not get involved, right?" Seeing that Pei Jiaoran's cup of tea was empty, Wu Lingjia gave her more tea, "Although Zhengshitang is the collective name of Zhongshu's sect, in recent years, it has been Shangshu Ling who has been in Zhengshitang Among the eight prime ministers, he is the only one in the family, and he is the chief prime minister. Mr. Cen is not as strict in his dealings with others, which has contributed to the current situation. "

"He won't care. But I still have the right person to expose this matter. Jia Gonglu will have to get involved. It's okay for the vacant minister of Zhongshu to be replaced by his disciple and former official." Pei Jiaoran said.
