However, since everyone is gone, she can't be chased out of the palace again! What's more, she doesn't need to pick up the burden that has been thrown out, and then take the initiative to pick it up on her shoulders and ask for trouble.

Thinking about this, Su Yitong no longer bothered herself. Deng Shi instructed Fengyue to summon Ying Er, symbolically asked him a few words about the progress of Zuo Li's case, and asked Pei Ciwei how long it would take to enter the city, so he waved him back.

After lunch, Su Yitong went to the Zhengqing Palace to approve the excerpts, and saw that there was no news of Liuli and Shen Rufeng outside the palace, so he couldn't help but feel anxious, and was thinking about whether he wanted to go out of the palace to explore the wind, so he heard the palace people come to spread the news that the prefect of Luoyi, Pei Ci, was worried that Lord Pei would enter the city in two hours.

Pei Ci entered the city ahead of schedule, a day earlier than the news provided by Ying Er, and Su Yitong was overjoyed. Deng Shi put down the matter in his hand, returned to the Jardine Palace, and instructed the palace people to go outside the palace to spread the word to let the Ministry of Rites enter the palace as soon as possible.

The scholar of the Ministry of Rites was still on the stage of the talent ceremony, and he was hurriedly invited into the palace by the person sent by Su Yitong to deliver the message.

Pei Ciwei has worked hard to deal with the Bianzhou flood and the Luoyi drought, and it is also a great achievement, so his return to the city can be big or small for the people in the capital, and the key is to see how Su Yitong, the emperor, views this matter.

After entering the palace, the Ministry of Rites went straight to the Jardine Palace, and after a simple greeting with Su Yitong, the Ministry of Rites did not wait for Su Yitong to ask, so he took the initiative to tell her what happened at the talent ceremony in the past two days.

Su Yitong listened carefully and didn't bother, but in his heart he was thinking about the time when Feng Feiyi and Jun Mo would return to the city. Since Feng Feiyi and Jun Mo led the troops to go on the expedition, in addition to frequently receiving good news from the border city, the palace has rarely received news about the two. Therefore, she knew that the two of them were already on the way back to the city, but she still felt uneasy in her heart.

After the Ministry of Rites finished replying, seeing Su Yitong frowning and pondering, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, but are you thinking about the talent ceremony?" ”

The court has been abandoned for a long time, and in the eyes of these courtiers, the most important thing now should be to restore the government as soon as possible and let the government return to normal, so as not to be exploited.

"It's not." Su Yitong came back to his senses, then shook his head and looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and said, "Do you know that Pei Aiqing is about to enter the city?" ”

Although the two have little contact, Pei Ciwei is an honest and honest person, and they are still very valued by these old ministers in the court, yes, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard that Pei Ciwei was about to return to the city, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, looked at Su Yitong and said: "Lord Pei has worked hard for the flood in Bianzhou and the drought in Luoyi in the past few months, which should be regarded as a great achievement. ”

"That's nature." Su Yitong was noncommittal, thinking that her vision was really good, and it was not in vain that she had taken a fancy to him at a glance among the courtiers in the palace. "I just want to ask about Pei Aiqing's return to the city, but do I need to go out of the city to greet me in person?"

Su Yitong said this, which sounded casual, but she also had her own plans. Now that the court hall is deserted and the treasury is empty, it is obviously unrealistic to hold a celebration banquet to catch Pei's worries. Therefore, since she can't give him something substantial, she still has to give some face. It's just that now in the court, she and Liuli have the biggest face, and Liuli is still on West Street, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back for a while. Therefore, if she really wants to send someone out of the city to greet her, only her identity is qualified for him to be praised and loved by the people of the world in a short time.

Seeing that Su Yitong never mentioned the matter of worrying about Pei Ci and washing the dust, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu already understood a rough idea in his heart, so he thought about it in his heart, and then looked at Su Yitong and said: "It's okay for Your Majesty to go out of the city to greet you personally, but I'm afraid that Master Pei will be ...... if His Majesty values him."

Listening to the words of the Ministry of Rites' preface and afterword, Su Yitong couldn't help frowning slightly. What is it said that she will not be blessed, she really just wants to hold a high-end and high-grade welcoming ceremony for Pei Ciwei, and has no other ideas at all, how can she now come to the mouth of the Ministry of Rites, as if she has long coveted Pei Ciwei.

"Ahem...... Did the adults misunderstand something? Su Yitong's face flushed slightly.

"Ahem......" Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites thought for a while, and immediately realized that what he said was wrong, so he quickly admitted his mistake and explained: "The minister means that Lord Pei is an upstart in the court after all, and if His Majesty personally goes out of the city to greet him, I am afraid that he will attract the resentment of others because of his excessive high-profile, and bring disaster to Lord Pei." ”

"How is that possible?" Su Yitong said disapprerovingly: "Now everyone is looking at the court, not to mention that the entire court is now under my control, even if it is not all mastered, there is always half of it, right?" ”

"That's true, but Your Majesty must not take it lightly." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu knew that Su Yitong had put a lot of effort into rectifying the dynasty this time. also knows that she is not a simple-minded person, so in addition to reminding her in a timely manner, he does not think that his ability is far superior to her.

"That's what my lord said." Su Yitong nodded, and also thought that the words of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu were reasonable, so he asked, "Then who do you think you should send out of the city to greet you?" ”

"Well, Rong Chen think about it." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu frowned and pondered, and only after a while did he speak leisurely: "Your Majesty can hand over this matter to Lord Shen or Lord Fang." ”

"But both of them now have their own important positions, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get free." Su Yitong suddenly made a difficulty.

"This ......," the Ministry of Rites frowned again. Since His Majesty can't make a choice, then leave the matter to the minister. ”

"It's fine." Someone rushed to greet him, Su Yitong was happy, so he said: "I will make a holy decree and send five thousand city defense troops to go out of the city with the adults to meet Pei Aiqing." ”

Since he can't compensate Pei Ci for his worries materially, then give him a shock in momentum. Anyway, this court has been abandoned for a long time, and she shouldn't be able to make any waves if she occasionally burns a fire. Thinking like this, Su Yitong waved his hand and picked up the pen and wrote on the bright yellow scroll.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was so shocked by Su Yitong's words that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. Although Pei Ci was worried about his hard work and high achievements, he was at the gate of the city to greet him, where to get 5,000 city defense troops! Five hundred city defense troops can't use it, okay!

"Alright." Su Yitong put down the pen, blew on the ink that had not dried on it, and then rolled it up and stuffed it into the arms of the Ministry of Rites, and hurried to the people: "It is estimated that Pei Aiqing will arrive at the city gate in an hour, my lord should go out of the palace quickly and prepare, don't miss the hour." ”

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, he suddenly felt that the holy decree that was forcibly stuffed into Su Yitong's arms weighed a thousand catties. But the matter has come to this point, and it is irretrievable, so he couldn't help but glance at Su Yitong sadly, and then he took the holy decree and left.

"Finally sent this old guy away." As soon as the Ministry of Rites left, Su Yitong felt that the air around him was a lot fresher. "However, if I had known that Pei Ciwei would return to the city today, I wouldn't have let Liuli and Shen Rufeng go to West Street to inspect."

Pei Ciwei returned to the city as a meritorious minister, although it was not a big deal, but Su Yitong still had to do enough in order to slap some people in the face.

So, not long after the Ministry of Rites left, Su Yitong was also busy. At this time, news came from the Criminal Department that Zuo Li's unjust case was finally confirmed under the thorough investigation of the Criminal Department's Shangshu day and night. Yes, in just half a day, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department sentenced Zuo Li not guilty and compensated him in accordance with Su Yitong's newly customized law on leaving the country.

Good things have come together, Su Yitong was happy in his heart, and regardless of whether the position of the secretary of the military department was vacant or not, he waved his pen and directly ordered Zuo to be the secretary of the military department, and gave him a mansion, and ordered him to be in charge of all matters of the military department and the quartermaster department.

I have to say that in this game, Su Yitong really won beautifully. When Liuli received the news and rushed back from West Street, Zuo Li had already received the holy decree and changed into official clothes.

"It's a dark warehouse, it's good...... That's great! First took the initiative to approach him, taking the opportunity to weaken his awareness of her, and then secretly summoned Pei Ci to return to the city to prevent him from finding out. Now he used the construction of the factory to arouse his curiosity, divert his attention, and take the opportunity to let the secretary of the criminal department redress Zuo Li's grievances, so as to obtain the position of the secretary of the military department for him.

Su Yitong is smart and knows that if he knew about this, he would definitely obstruct it. It's just that...... He never expected that Su Yitong would come together openly and secretly.

"Childe," Mohe looked at Liuli's trembling body with anger, and suddenly said with some worry: "Su Yitong deliberately made such a big move this time, he must have found something." Childe, now that the capital is in danger, Feng Feiyi is about to return to the city, otherwise, let's take the young lady and leave first. ”

Anyway, the forces they deployed in the DPRK and China have been uprooted by Su Yitong, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for them here.

"Leave?" Liuli frowned and looked at Mohe Dao: "You think Su Yitong will be so stupid and let us leave like this." As he spoke, he couldn't help but close his eyes, and said earnestly: "You are wrong, Mohe, the reason why Su Yitong has endured it until now is not because she has a good heart, but because she has no evidence in her hand to put me to death." That's why she attacked my stepfather to force me to show my feet. ”

Over the years, his reputation among the people is far inferior to that of Su Yitong, the emperor. So he knew that as long as Su Yitong did not have sufficient evidence in his hands to prove that he was a remnant of the previous dynasty, she would have no reason to kill him. Even if she wanted to kill, the people who left the country would not let her.

"But Childe," Mohe said hurriedly: "Su Yitong is sinister and cunning, and he will take revenge if he has revenge." If you don't leave, what if she ...... What if I really want to kill you? ”

"Then it depends on whether she has the ability to do it." Liulishen disagreed, but did not continue to talk about this topic.

Things have come to this day, though not as he would have liked them. But he clearly knew that during the confrontation with Su Yitong, he ...... Never won.

Ten years of hard work was ruined by Su Yitong in just a few months, making his years of forbearance go down the drain, and he didn't even have a chance to turn over. It can be seen that Su Yitong is far more scheming than he imagined.
