"Dang——" Gongs and drums sounded heavily, and a man yelled: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles."

At that time, the street was dark and silent, with occasional dogs barking.In front of Pei's mansion, two red lanterns were hung high, and the stone lions on both sides were extremely majestic in the dim candlelight.Suddenly, a luxurious carriage drove up quickly, and a man's voice came from the carriage from time to time: "I want to drink, continue to drink—"

The carriage stopped in front of Pei's mansion, and two servants helped the drunk man down.The man staggered to and fro, barely standing still with the help of the servant.His cheeks were blushing, his eyes were blurred and half-closed, and his bright red lips were slightly parted, making people tremble with charm.But he waved his hands and feet restlessly, shouting: "Let go of me, I want to drink, drink—"

The little servant responded obediently: "Master Pei, please slow down! I'll take you to drink right away."

The three of them approached gradually and arrived at the gate of Pei's residence in an instant.A servant knocked on the door with a 'bang bang' sound.After a while, the door was opened, only to see Fuzi's angry face.

The servant hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Fu, calm down. We don't want to disturb your rest in the middle of the night. No, Mr. Pei is too drunk..."

Fuzi's complexion changed, "Master, you are back!" Turning around, he said again: "Xiangbo Xiangbo, the master is back, come and help him—"

Xiangbo ran out in a hurry and helped Pei Ziqi into the mansion.As soon as the door was closed, Pei Ziqi's swaying figure suddenly froze in place, the blush on his cheeks dissipated, his eyes were clear and bright, there was no sign of drunkenness at all.

He waved to Fuzi, and Fuzi immediately yelled: "Master, be careful, don't fall—"

Xiang Bo stood aside and said in a low voice, "Master, Mr. Sun has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

Pei Ziqi nodded, straightened his robe and walked towards the study.The study room was brightly lit, and a slender figure was sitting in front of the window, flipping through the books leisurely.The door was pushed open, and the figure quickly put down the book and said with a smile, "Are you back? If you don't come back again, I will spend the night at your house tonight."

Pei Ziqi poured a cup of tea, "Why are you here?"

Sun Hancheng shrugged: "I came to see you in the evening, but Xiangbo said that you went to the grand prince's banquet. I'm not worried about you, so I'll stay here until you come back."

Pei Ziqi shook his head: "If I didn't know that you only like women, I really wonder if you are in love with me. You can sleep in my house tonight, so as not to be seen and gossip."

Sun Hancheng was unhappy, "Pei Ziqi, don't worry. Even if all the men in Jin fall in love with you, I won't fall in love with you."

Pei Ziqi paused, "Why?"

"Because you are not the one I should love." Sun Hancheng paused, "The eldest prince didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Pei Ziqi took out the kit bag and put it on the table.Sun Hancheng opened it and said cheerfully: "This is a first-class gift. The eldest prince seems to have spent a lot of money in order to win you over!"

"Win me?" Pei Ziqi sneered coldly, "Not necessarily. If it's just to win me over, why bother to get me drunk? He wants to get me drunk tonight and make me dizzy. I'll be fine tomorrow morning." Throw me hard."

"Treatment?" Sun Hancheng paused, "He gave you a big gift with his front foot, but he planned to destroy you with his back foot? Isn't this superfluous and wasted work?"

"The more despicable the villain, the faster he will turn his face." Pei Ziqi put down his teacup, "Don't forget, I embarrass the eldest prince, he would be so kind to give me a big gift? Yuanming is a waste of chess in his eyes What kind of gift? It's just a cover-up to make me relax my vigilance."

Sun Hancheng was taken aback, "Whose hand do you think the eldest prince will use to attack you?"

"Censor Du Chun."

"Him?" Sun Hancheng rubbed his chin, "Could it be because you played with Ms. Du two days ago?"

Pei Ziqi smiled, "Do you think a virtuous hypocrite would care about a daughter? It's his fault that fell into my hands. If he didn't attack me earlier, would he wait for me to come to you?" He said again: "Great gift for you Already, tomorrow morning I will go to the Yuanming Book."

Sun Hancheng was startled, and put the kit in his arms, "What about you?"

"Me?" Pei Ziqi smiled, "Of course I will trouble anyone who troubles me."

……

At the dawn of time, the sun jumped out of the horizon, and the gloomy imperial city was swept away.At that time, the sound of bells and drums sounded, and the officials lined up neatly and entered the hall in an orderly manner.In the main hall, the golden throne hangs empty, and two young eunuchs stand on both sides.

Waiting for all the officials to be lined up, the crown prince and the eldest prince entered the room one after the other.The prince clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, his head drooped slightly, and his gaze was directed to his toes, with indescribable restraint and tension.He walked forward slowly with small steps, the crown prince's clothes fluttering around him.This is last year's robe, but this year the prince has lost some weight.

Xu was malnourished when he was young, and the prince was much shorter than the other three princes.The eldest prince behind him was tall and burly, with his head held high and his steps strong and powerful, quite majestic and imposing.Some courtiers couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed. It was the prince and the prince who were in front of each other. It was clearly the little eunuch leading the way for the prince.

Although he sighed, the courtiers also understood that the prince had grown a lot compared to before.The former prince's legs trembled when he met everyone, he bent down and bowed his head, almost shrinking his whole body into a ball.I don't know what kind of life the prince lived before, even the little eunuch has three points more backbone than him.

When the crown prince and the eldest prince were seated, the eldest prince looked diagonally upwards and couldn't help but smile.That was Pei Ziqi's seat, and now there was no one there...Suddenly, a long figure entered the hall with a smile froze on his lips.Apart from the eldest prince, Du Chun, the imperial censor, was also terrified and his face was livid.

Pei Ziqi was dressed in a bamboo green brocade robe, slender and upright, and walked neither slow nor fast.Wherever they passed, some officials bowed their heads in respect, some officials turned a blind eye, and some officials were full of hatred.

When passing by Du Chun, Pei Ziqi suddenly stopped, and nodded and smiled at him.Tieqing's face immediately turned pale, and he buried his head and did not dare to look at him.He sneered, whispered the word 'coward', and continued walking with his hands behind his back.When Pei Ziqi left, Du Chun suddenly raised his head, his eyes were filled with red.

Pei Ziqi approached the eldest prince, and said in surprise again: "Your Highness, what's wrong with your face? You smile so weirdly, maybe you're bewitched."

The eldest prince came back to his senses, and quickly said with a wry smile: "Lord Pei, you don't know something. Yesterday, my lord's banquet was a good intention, but I didn't want to have a good time and turned into a drunk. Afterwards, my lord remembered what happened in the morning. I feel deeply guilty. If I missed my lord's court today, I will be a sinner through the ages. When I saw Lord Pei just now, I was happy and blamed myself for a while, so..."

"So that's how it is." Pei Ziqi suddenly realized, "Your Highness, don't blame yourself..." Suddenly, a young eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice: "The emperor is here——"

Pei Ziqi hurriedly stopped talking, standing in his place.

With Sun Lu's support, Luo Di walked out from the back of the hall.His back was slightly bent, his steps were frivolous and weak, and his face was full of exhaustion.Waiting for him to sit upright, all the ministers shouted long live, saluted and flattened their bodies.Sun Lu stood on the side and shouted: "If there is a book to start playing, there is no book to retreat to the court—"

At that time, the eldest prince's heart was in a mess, and he was extremely nervous.He had negotiated with Du Chun early, and taking advantage of Pei Ziqi's failure to go to court early today, accuse him of a serious crime of disrespect.Now that Pei Ziqi has come to the morning court, he absolutely cannot participate in this book.Pei Ziqi will take revenge, if he finds out that they are secretly colluding, then it will be fine!Right now, I can only hope that Du Chun will wink...

It's a pity that Du Chun hurriedly came out and said in a loud voice: "I have a book to play. My minister wants to impeach Mr. Pei Ziqi Pei, a scholar of the palace! Contempt of the imperial court, the bell stopped ringing before entering the palace, the crime is one; contempt of the emperor Well, talking loudly in the hall is the second crime; having no kingly law, leading someone to ransack the house without conviction, the third crime..."

One pile, one section, back and forth, a total of ten crimes.Every word is pure and impassioned, even the heinous and treacherous officials are nothing more than that.However, Pei Ziqi was expressionless throughout the whole process, and even adjusted his neat robes during the whole process.

The eldest prince was terrified when he saw it, and almost rushed out to gag Du Chun!The more calm Pei Ziqi is, it means that he has expected it, and even has a trick waiting for them!

After reading the playbook, the hall fell into a dead silence.Luo Di sat upright in his seat, his face was calm and his eyes were as silent as ever.He looked ahead, seemed to be looking at Pei Ziqi, and at the same time seemed to be looking at Du Chun.There was a sound, and he said slowly: "Let's go back to court if there is nothing to do."

The ministers were shocked.Even the most basic questioning was omitted, and he chose to ignore it directly. How much did Luo Di trust Pei Ziqi?Du Chun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty—"

"The minister has a book to play." Sun Hancheng interrupted Du Chun, "My minister reported that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Mingyuan, robbed the daughters of the people, and threatened his family members in an attempt to cover up the truth. The style of life is extravagant, and the back house There are as many as 34 concubines." As he spoke, he handed over the incriminating evidence and the memorial.

Luo Di took over the memorial and the criminal evidence, flipped through it roughly and said, "Okay! The Ministry of Criminal Justice has done a good job, so I will hand over this matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Yuan Ming hurriedly knelt down, his body trembling.He kowtowed vigorously, until there was a 'dong dong' sound, and the black gold floor was stained with bright red.Luo Di glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Zi Qi, you will assist the Ministry of Punishment in this matter, and you must investigate clearly."

"The minister leads the decree." Pei Ziqi came out and said: "The minister also has the original performance, and I will join Du Chundu, the royal historian!"

All the officials were startled, it seems that Mr. Pei and Mr. Du are going to fight!
