When I walked in, I found that the Taoist children who usually worked everywhere did not appear today, and the entire Taoist temple was as quiet as if they were in retreat. I walked all the way to the room where the Emperor was resting, and Gonggong Yu asked for instructions inside.

"Let her in. ”

What came out was Pei Yuanhao's voice.

Grandpa Yu pushed the door open, I walked in, and then the door closed behind me.

In the room, it was still exactly the same as when I came before, and there was no difference even to the flames of the candles on the shelves on both sides, but I don't know how long it had been since the door had been opened, and the room seemed a little hot and stuffy, and as soon as I stood still, I felt sweaty.

Pei Ji was still sitting at the head of the bed as before.

And Pei Yuanhao sat on the edge of the bed in a regular manner, even his back was straight.

They both turned their heads to look at me at the same time, and I stepped forward, and bowed respectfully, and as soon as I looked down, I saw a wet puddle on the ground, as if something had fallen to the ground and splashed it, and when I looked again, there was a fragment of a teacup in the corner, probably not cleaned up in a hurry.

Suddenly, my heart cleared.

I couldn't help but get a little nervous, although the two of them seemed to be calm at the moment, Pei Yuanhao turned his head to look at me, stared at the corner of my eye again, and asked me, "Why, didn't you sleep well last night?"

“……”

I didn't expect him to ask me this first, I subconsciously glanced at Pei Ji, but his face showed a heavy tiredness, maybe he had said too much before, and he was already a little tired, and he was half-squinting at the moment. I then said: "The folk girl is a little bed-recognizing, and she is not used to it. ”

"Do you want someone to rearrange it for you?"

"Not necessarily. ”

I don't care what people think of me or where I live, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to make a fuss about it.

Pei Yuanhao probably knew my thoughts, and he didn't force it, but only nodded lightly.

Then I asked, "I don't know what the emperor commanded when he summoned the people's daughters." ”

Pei Yuanhao said: "You told me yesterday that you want to go back to Xichuan?"

I'm in good spirits.

I thought that he would keep delaying mentioning that matter, but I didn't expect to mention it as soon as I came today, I was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes." ”

"What are you going to do when you go back to Xichuan?"

"There are some things at home, and my brother wants me to go back and discuss with him. In addition—" I glanced at him, and said honestly, "If you can figure out the reason for what Your Majesty was worried about before, I think it will be good for the country and the people." ”

His face sank inexplicably.

He knew that I was referring to Liu Qinghan.

Before his edict was sent to Xichuan, it was sent back by Liu Qinghan intact, this matter has always been a mystery in our hearts, especially for me - why did Liu Qinghan suddenly turn his face and deny people, this matter, even if it is not for the country and the people, I want to know.

Just when he was calm, Pei Ji, who had been silent next to him, spoke: "What you are talking about is the previous Hubu Shangshu?"

Pei Yuanhao let out a deep "um".

"That Liu Qinghan?"

"Hmm. ”

Pei Ji turned his head to look at me, his eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't say anything, closed his lips again, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

I stood in the middle of the room, unconsciously a little depressed, Pei Yuanhao didn't open his mouth after asking that sentence, whether he agreed or not, and what he was thinking, I didn't know at all, I could only wait for him to open his mouth to decide.

After a long time, I heard him take a deep breath and say, "I will allow you." ”

When I heard this, I looked at him in surprise: "Really?"

"You don't have any jokes. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

I was about to salute and thank you, but he said coldly with a calm face, "However, you have to wait for a while. ”

“…… Why?"

"The rebels just made such a scene, do they still have any remnants around the capital, I am currently sending people to search, and now the important letters to be sent to various places have been suppressed, let alone you?"

“……”

Does this mean that I am compared to an "important letter"?

I didn't speak, and he continued: "Also, I have to wait for the emperor's body to recover." ”

“……”

I was stunned for a moment, raised my head to look at him, and glanced at Pei Ji again: "What does the emperor mean-"

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, but Pei Ji opened his eyes slowly and said, "Lonely, I will go with you." ”

“……”

I was a little dumbfounded.

The Emperor is going with me?

Why?

Seeing that I didn't know anything at all, Pei Yuanhao said slowly: "The people of the Yuan family and the Lin family have made such a scene in the capital, and it is impossible to cover up the matter anymore, at least a month, at most three months, they will inevitably join forces." ”

I suddenly breathed tightly: "Majesty xià means-"

"This big war is inevitable. ”

“……”

I was speechless.

Back then, Fu Badai told him that there should be no large-scale war at the border pass within fifteen years, and he also told me before that he must carry this year with the emperor, but he didn't expect the world to be unpredictable, the war was not ignited at the border pass, but ignited in the Central Plains, I and the emperor wanted to carry this year, but Pei Yuanhao fainted, and the impulse of this group of people pushed things to a situation where there was no turning back.

I asked, "Then what is the Emperor going to do?"

Pei Yuanhao said: "Lin Sheng and Yuan Mingde fled back, knowing that the crime was extremely evil, and they must be jumping off the wall in a hurry, but Gongsun Qi is already dead, and his old father-"

Speaking of this, he paused, and Pei Ji said slowly: "Gongsun Shu, once a subordinate of Lone, Lone knew that even if he died, he would not do such a troublesome thing, listening to the emperor, his situation was similar to that of Lone's before, so he let his unfilial son drill Confucius and plunge their entire Gongsun family into a place of no return." ”

When he said this, he was naturally Gongsun Qi, but Pei Yuanhao was beside him, and his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Pei Ji squinted his eyes, as if he didn't look at him, and only said to me: "If the three of them start an incident at the same time, it will not be a good thing for the capital, but if it can be said that the people of the Gongsun family should not fall into the mud, then the situation will be a little different." ”

I said, "Emperor Taishang, do you want to go to the Marquis of Jin in person to persuade Gongsun Shu?"

He nodded.

……

The two fathers and sons have been talking for so long, what did they talk about, although I didn't hear it with my own ears, but now I generally know that Pei Ji has figured out every major event that happened in the ten years that he was asleep, and even Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanhao sued him.

But I didn't expect him to leave the capital!
