The summer is scorching, and the sound of cicadas makes people drowsy.

Because of last night's tossing, almost none of the people in the palace were able to sleep comfortably, and finally settled down at this time, except for those who had a job, most of the others took a nap in the afternoon, and Yao'er quietly arrived at Pei Kun's residence, and did not see the female officials and attendants who usually came and went.

If another person wants to see Pei Kun, at this time, he must first find a female official to go in and report it, and get Pei Kun's permission, Yao'er and Pei Kun have different relationships, but they don't have so many scruples. Along the way, seeing that no one was moving, Yao'er quietly came directly to Pei Kun's residence.

Yao'er knocked lightly on the door, no one answered, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pushed, the door opened, there was no one in the study, Yao'er walked in slowly.

There is a quiet and elegant feeling in the room, with several volumes of official letters scattered on the bookcase with ear engraving, as well as two simple inkstones. There are more than a dozen purple hairs hanging from thick to thin on the pen stand, and there is a big-bellied and wide-mouthed green lotus urn next to the desk, and more than a dozen scrolls are inserted in it.

On the shelf near the window, there are three lilies scattered in the thin-necked vase, and on the snow-white wall hangs a picture of the smoke and rain in the spring mountains painted by Pei Kun, and there are several banners and vertical stickers written by Pei Kun himself, revealing a smell of books.

Yao'er stood up for a while, and then turned into Pei Kun's bedroom behind the screen, and there was a diamond-flowered bronze mirror and a big red lacquer carving on the dressing table

Pei Kun was also tired all night and was taking a nap, when he was awakened at this time, he turned his head and saw that it was Yao'er who was looking at her with a slight smile, and his tense body relaxed: You. Why didn't you say a word and broke in, it's scary!

Yao'er was silent.

Pei Su hasn't seen Yao'er for many days, and Yao'er doesn't know how to face it. The scene was a little quiet and awkward.

"Xiaoyi, I came to you to ask you, what happened? Why didn't the king even open the early dynasty, and still arrested so many ministers?

Pei Kun didn't do much other considerations, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he turned his back to Yao'er. Yao'er didn't see it. He said in a low voice: Last night, someone sent a letter to Zixing Palace, saying that he was going to launch a mutiny and force the king to abdicate. Fu Bao Crown Prince Hui fù Jiang Qi Jiangshan. It happened to be discovered by the guards who patrolled the night, and immediately reported to the king's bedroom, and you know what happened after that.

Yao'er's heart sank when she heard this. It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't know. Just made a plan, it took a lot of effort to calm down the situation, and I didn't expect the storm to rise again in a blink of an eye, if the last rebellion was still chasing the wind and catching shadows, this time it is simply conclusive evidence, but I am afraid that this turmoil will be more severe than the last time.

Seriously speaking, Yao'er doesn't know whether Guan Bo and the others really want to launch a mutiny, this possibility is naturally there. This motivation is also said in the past. But such a big thing. It was impossible to let her know in advance, not to say that she seemed to belong to Tian Sansi's camp now. And fake fake is also her daughter-in-law, but even before, he was only a junior favored and admired by Uncle Guan, not his ally in the political arena.

Yao'er was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice: Guan Gong and several prime ministers are the masterminds?

Pei Kun said: If it is true in the letter, it should be the case, in order to encourage the crown prince, the letter deliberately mentioned the names of several of them.

Yao'er groaned slightly, and said: Just such a letter?

Pei Kundao: Isn't this letter enough? Do you have to wait for them to really launch and come to the dormitory? The tide has turned, and the king believes that they are indeed going to rebel?

Pei Kun's rhetorical question had already added some tone, Yao'er was thinking about how to deal with this complex political situation, and she didn't notice it for a while, but just followed her own train of thought and said: You say, could it be because of the dispute between the prime ministers and the Weiyang Marquis, which made the Weiyang Marquis lose his phase, and the Weiyang Marquis deliberately framed with hatred, and it is very easy to do it by submitting a letter.

Pei Kun turned around and said solemnly: What you said is naturally not impossible, but to say that the prime ministers are dissatisfied with the king's imprisonment and have the heart to help the crown prince restore Jiang Qi Jiangshan, it is also a good reason. How, I still need to be reviewed, I don't care about these, at this time I just want to know, Yao'er, what do you want?

Yao'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised her vigilance, so she asked calmly: Why did Xiao Su say this?

Pei Kun said with some worry: You just have to do your part, Jixia School Palace is a good place to go, and don't ask about such national affairs, today, even if it is the clan, the princes, and the prime ministers, once they are involved, it is easy to give their lives, I am by the king's side, I don't know how many powerful ministers have lost their heads over the years, why should you bother.

Yao'er was secretly shocked, and said in her heart: It's not good, Pei Su is clear and smart, maybe he noticed something.

Yao'er hurriedly smiled in an indifferent tone: Everyone has curiosity, I just ask casually, how can I participate in it. This kind of big thing is a game that only the prime minister and the generals can afford, I am a primary school Gong Yu Master, even if I want to mix, I am not qualified enough, don't think nonsense.

Pei Kun glanced at her deeply and said: If you really think about it, Pei Kun can rest assured, this kind of thing, even if it is a prime minister who is extremely popular and a general with heavy troops, is it not wiped out in a snap of his fingers? Lessons from the past abound!

Yao'er, rebellion has always been a taboo for kings, but whoever is involved, would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, and those who have been in power since ancient times are like this. Now that he has become a king as a daughter, he has created an unprecedented event, and the resistance he has endured is far greater than that of previous generations, so he is naturally more concerned about this.

You see, now that the three prime ministers and so many officials are involved in the rebellion, at such a critical moment, the most reliable thing for the emperor is the nephew of the Tian family, but even in this case, the king did not summon Tian Chengqian and asked him to preside over the overall situation, and even Tian Sansi did not send any send, why is this? The king's ambitions for the Tian brothers are already being raised.

The king is so wary of his own sons and nephews, can the others be spared once they are involved? Whether it's to the prime ministers or the Tian family, you'd better keep your distance. The king is still there, we just have to be loyal to the king and advance and retreat freely. Isn't that good, so why take the risk......

Yao'er hurriedly said: I know, I know. Xiaoyun, you don't have to worry, I won't get involved in these things.

Pei Su wanted to speak and stopped......

Yao'er wanders between various forces, and there are indeed some left and right. Now everyone thinks that he is closer to Tian Sansi, and he also maintains a good relationship with the two forces of Mu Shangxuan and Mrs. Mu, but Pei Kun noticed some abnormalities.

Yao'er was unwary of Pei Kun. So she can be very careful to cover up her political tendencies in front of others, but in front of Pei Kun, although she doesn't care about saying anything. But her words and deeds, every move, in an unguarded state, will inevitably be revealed.

What's more, Pei Kun has served the queen for ten years. I have seen a lot of intrigue and deceit in the political arena. How can we not find some clues?

Although Pei Kun is above 10,000 people under one person, he does not have any political ambitions, he knows that with his identity, all power can only come from the female king, if there is no queen as a support, he is a morning glory without attachment, any wind and rain. can knock him down.

Therefore, he has always been very careful to grasp the proportion. The forces he established were all from the perspective of self-preservation, and he never thought of calling for wind and rain and covering the sky with one hand. He has been able to be by Tian Qiniang's side for so many years, and he has always been trusted and reused, because he has always been able to have an accurate positioning for himself. Tian Qiniang's favorite daughter, Mrs. Mu, showed a little enthusiasm for politics, and she was immediately warned, telling her daughter not to interfere in politics, if Pei Su had any strange thoughts, how could she live to this day.

However, now Pei Kun has a sweetheart.

In the past, his only reliance was on the big tree of power, and the root of his power was Tian Qi Niang. But now that he has concerns, he can't help but have selfishness in addition to loyalty.

He is the person next to the king, and he is the "prime minister of the bead curtain" next to the female king, and the power he has is no less than that of the prime ministers in the Feng Pavilion.

But now, he felt that Haruka was embarking on a very dangerous path, and he could not refuse to admonish him, and he had to help, because now he had her in his heart.

Yao'er said: What Xiao Su said is very true, when it comes to the knowledge of this officialdom, you are naturally much smarter than me, don't worry, I can't afford to go to this troubled water, and I won't go. I'll just watch from the sidelines and never interfere, don't you worry?

In fact, Yao'er is so cautious, it's not that he can't believe Pei Kun, for fear that he will tell Tian Qiniang if he knows his plan. She knew that Pei Kun loved herself deeply, and if he had to make a choice between herself and Tian Qi Niang, he would definitely choose himself without hesitation, which meant that he would choose to give up the honor, power, and wealth that he could get, and even his life.

But because of this, Yao'er can't afford this hot enthusiasm. The precipitation of love. She didn't want to involve Pei Kun, she knew that Pei Kun had considerable energy, and she also knew that Pei Kun was by the side of the female king, holding many secrets that others did not know, and if she could get his help, she would definitely be like a fish in water.

However, getting opportunities also means risks, if Pei Kun makes the biggest inner room around Tian Qiniang for her, can he still be as calm and natural as before? His words and deeds must be different from the past, so will he show any horses?

Pei Kun experienced ups and downs when he was a child, and found the opportunity to enter the palace to serve Tian Qi Niang, so many years, he was raised in the "deep boudoir", it can be said that he knows nothing about love, and his knowledge in this area is not as good as a cardamom young girl, although under the cultivation and edification of Tian Qi Niang, he has dealt with all aspects of national affairs, politics, economy and military affairs remarkably, almost not inferior to any prime minister of the dynasty, but his growth in this special environment has made him have a very special simplicity of human feelings.

He didn't know how to love, couldn't love, and didn't dare to love until he met Yao'er.

However, once he becomes his eyes and ears by the Son of Heaven, what is needed is precisely this skill, and Yao'er can almost foresee it. It won't be long before Pei Kun will show her feet, let the woman who struggled out of the deep palace of deceit, jump over the dragon gate in one fell swoop, and let the heroines of the world crawl at her feet find the clues.

Because of the burning of love, Yao'er didn't want him to be in danger for himself.

……

In the torture room, Wei Suizhong sat cross-legged with Erlang's legs, took a sip of side dishes, took a sip of wine, and then glanced coldly at the tortured person, and asked lightly: Are you recruiting or not?

Feng Ge Wen walked Heti bowed and stood, pouting his buttocks, a thin iron chain passed through his nose and tied to an iron ring nailed to the ground, the iron chain was only two feet long, his body couldn't stand up straight, but it was okay to bend over and stand like this for a while, and it was unbearable pain for a long time.

The sweat on Heti's forehead dripped down like soybeans, he wanted to squat, but it was impossible, there was a small weapon rack on the ground, and a row of sharp knives were inserted on it, all of which were inserted in the groove with the handle facing down, and the tip of the knife rushed up, as long as his body was lower, the sharp tip of the knife could pierce his chest and abdomen.

His hands were tied like phoenixes to two chains, which were tied to the hoops on the walls on either side, and a jailer was holding a red-hot steel needle and reaching between his fingers.

As soon as the tip of the needle approached, Heti was so frightened that he struggled desperately, but he couldn't dodge it at all, and in the struggle, the sharp tip of the knife cut through his bloated belly, and blood immediately flowed down the blade.

Heti cried bitterly and shouted: Move! Recruit! I'll do anything, don't torture, I've already admitted to rebellion, I really don't need to be tortured!

Wei Suizhong snorted, and said nonchalantly: I think you are scared and confused, right? Your confession of rebellion has been signed and detained, and the official still asks you what to do? I want you to confess your comrades, according to the information found by this official, the secretary and young eunuch Chen Shen is one of your comrades.

Heti didn't think about it at all, and hurriedly roared: Yes, yes, Chen Shen is my party, Chen Shen is my party!

Wei Suizhong smiled with satisfaction, bared his teeth and said: Well, then you can recruit it, how did the two of you get together, and how did you plot? This official wants conclusive evidence!

Heti had already had the experience of confessing after being beaten, but he was a little delirious by the torture, and he thought blankly, until the tip of the red-hot needle approached, and then he cried out in his heart: Ah! I thought about it, I thought about it, I ...... He and I have always been close friends.

A few days ago, I returned to Lin'an, and he also held a banquet for me. Yes, yes, yes, that is the time, we have discussed, we want to help the crown prince to restore Jiang Qi Jiangshan together, and when our soldiers and horses surround the king's bedroom, we are all masters of Fengge's draft text, so the two of us will forge the holy decree, increase the king's seal, announce to the world, and announce that the king will abdicate and give way to the country, and the crown prince will succeed to the throne.

Wei Suizhong snorted and said: If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears!

He turned to the scribe and asked, "Have you written it down?"

The scribe nodded, Wei Suizhong knocked his fingers twice on the table, and said: There is also a woman named Yao'er, as far as I know, she is also your accomplice, let's recruit together!

Heti said blankly: Yao'er? Who is Yao'er? (To be continued......)
