My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 208: Are you in love?
People without weaknesses are the most dangerous, at any time and in any situation, especially for those who give up their seats!
The eunuch named Yuanbao followed the Emperor's gaze towards the figure disappearing at the entrance of the palace, and said respectfully and flatteringly, "I heard that the day before Minister Pei returned to the capital, he went to Wanzhao Temple to pick up his wife without even having time to rest. The couple are very affectionate."
"Oh? Really?"
The Emperor of Wei said thoughtfully that he had not thought of this.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Pei Huaizhi has always been serious, indifferent, and aloof!
I even suspected before that if Pei Huaizhi had not entered the court as an official, he would have become a monk!
Eunuch Yuanbao: "Did the spies from the Eastern Depot report this?"
"Hmm!" A gleam of brilliance flashed through the turbid eyes of the Wei Emperor, "That's good..."
****************
Pei Shuhuai left the palace and Shuqi drove the carriage over.
"Go to the government office first"
He gave the order, and on the way his mind was filled with the current situation in the court and the attitude of the Emperor of Wei. When he arrived at the government office, Zhang Jian from the Hanlin Academy was pacing back and forth in the yard.
Zhang Jian was one of Pei Huaizhi's few confidants. Before Pei Huaizhi went to Nanjing, they worked together in the Hanlin Academy. Before that, they studied together in the Imperial College. As classmates and colleagues, Zhang Jian also managed most of Pei Huaizhi's network of relationships in the capital.
The situation in the court is complicated now, and anyone may be accused of forming a clique for personal gain. Therefore, in recent times, court officials no longer leave the palace in groups of three or five after court, and no longer gather in groups of two or three to the tavern after leaving the government office. Instead, they return to their own homes obediently, for fear of being accused of forming a clique for personal gain by the old factory boss.
After the court session today, Pei Huaizhi was called to the imperial study by the Emperor of Wei. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Jian did not wait for Pei Huaizhi to leave the palace at the palace gate.
Now that they saw Pei Huaizhi, because there were many people in the yard, the two of them just looked at each other, greeted each other, and nodded politely.
Zhang Jian left the yamen and was polite as usual.
After Zhang Jian left, Pei Huaizhi stayed in the yamen and dealt with some more urgent memorials before leaving.
"My Lord, there is a tail?"
Shuqi drove the carriage close to the curtain of the carriage door and said.
"Find a way to get rid of it!"
Pei Huaizhi was still holding a book on Salt and Iron in his hand, and his tone was calm.
Shuqi was not confused at the critical moment. If not, he would not have stayed with Pei Huaizhi for so long. He must have some real skills.
The carriage made many twists and turns from Ding'an Gate to Zhuque Street, then turned to Yong'an Lane, entered Yongshengfang from Yong'an Lane, and returned to the mansion.
Pei Huaizhi took off his scarlet court robe in the carriage and put on a moon-white short-sleeved top with narrow sleeves. He lost some of the unfathomable aura of his official career and gained some of the bohemian aura.
When I got rid of the man in the dark, I easily blended into the crowd.
When the spy from the Eastern Depot caught up with the carriage again, Pei Huaizhi was no longer on it. However, the spy did not notice this at all and followed the carriage all the way back to Pei's house.
It is Pei Mansion, not Pei Guogong Mansion.
at the same time..............................
After Pei Huaizhi disappeared into the crowd, he entered a small courtyard, which was decorated like an ordinary family's.
Pei Huaizhi entered the yard with ease. There were only two or three maids and servants in the yard. They were all rescued from slaves by Pei Huaizhi and were loyal to him.
They knew that Pei Huaizhi had saved their lives, but they didn't know his true identity.
Pei Huaizhi would disguise himself every time he came to this courtyard, so in the eyes of these servants, the current Pei Huaizhi had nothing to do with the upstart Pei Huaizhi of the dynasty.
Pei Huaizhi went straight back to the study, his slender figure leaning lazily on the armchair, as if waiting for someone to come.
Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, the antique display shelf on one side of the study automatically moved to both sides, and a bookish man walked out from the secret door.
Pei Huaizhi saw someone coming and said, "Sit down," and raised his eyes to gesture towards the chair in front of him.
The man lifted his robe, sat down on the chair obediently, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Jian, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who had just been an acquaintance of his in the government office. Zhang Jian came from a family of upright officials, and his family had been educating people for generations. Although no one in his family had become an official in the court, the private school run by the Zhang family advocated education for all, and its students were spread all over the Wei Dynasty. Some of the students became officials in the court, and there was also a generation of poets. Zhang Jian had a very high status in front of the students of the Wei Dynasty.
But it was different for Zhang Jian's generation. He believed that relying on the teachings of his ancestors could not change much in the entire Wei Dynasty. As the saying goes, a scholar is useless. So when Zhang Jian's family opposed it, he resolutely took the imperial examination.
He was a classmate of Pei Huaizhi. The two got to know each other during a debate and became like-minded friends since then.
This is the extent to which a gentleman is willing to die for his confidant.
"You seem quite calm," he said with a sad tone.
"What else?".
Pei Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and said.
Zhang Jian said with some regret, "Do you know what the current situation in the court is like?"
"Of course I know!" Pei Huaizhi said casually while drinking tea lazily, allowing Jian Zhangjian to scold him.
"I think you've been away from Shangjing for too long. You can't see the current situation clearly at all!"
Zhang Jian snorted.
Then, he continued, "Now that the eunuchs are in power, everyone in the court is afraid of being caught. You, Pei Huaizhi, are so good that you pushed the handle to others. When you return to Beijing, you should go to the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible. What about you? You actually went to Wanzhao Temple to pick someone up. What's in your mind? Are you in love? I don't believe that you, Pei Huaizhi, would do such a stupid thing!"
Pei Huaizhi lazily raised his eyelids. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Jian would not dare to say such harsh words.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Zhang Jian thought that Pei Huaizhi, who never bowed his head, knew that he was wrong, so he did not ask more questions, "Pei Huaizhi, you are still young and energetic. Our current emperor has been more and more worried recently. Seeing you being so negligent, he might be angry with you."
Pei Huaizhi didn't care. "Is there a perfect person in the world? If you walk by the river, you will get your shoes wet. I'm telling you that I'm young, and I'm also telling you that I have a love brain. The emperor can see everything I say and do, and knows how to control it. Or am I so cunning that I have no omissions in my plans, and everything I say and do is perfect and flawless?"
Zhang Jian choked when he heard Pei Huaizhi say, "Only if His Majesty knows that I am still in her hands and still in his control, and if he takes the initiative to hand over the evidence, then he won't do anything to me. What should I do?"
