Chang'an, Peifu.

Sun Zhou told Pei Min about the news he had heard from Wang Maozhong's mansion.

"Li Jingren personally arrived at the palace, and in about a quarter of an hour, he returned alone."

After Ma Chong's murder case, when he was in the Xufu, Pei Min had already made up his mind to deal with Wang Maozhong.

After returning home from Changxingfang, he immediately called Sun Zhou and Wang Xiaobai to the house, and asked them to help keep an eye on Wang Maozhong.

Li Longji summoned Wang Maozhong, and when Wang Maozhong refused due to illness, Pei Min understood the situation at the first time, even one step faster than Li Longji.

"This Wang Mao Zhong is really bold enough, His Majesty summoned him, even if he doesn't want to go, there is no need to refuse with such a shoddy reason."

Sun Zhou didn't confirm whether Wang Maozhong was sick at all.

Even people who think with their butts will not believe that Wang Maozhong is sick in this situation.

Pei Min said with a smile: "Wang Maozhong's character is like this, there is no one in his eyes, and he is self-righteous. In a sentence from my hometown, I always think of myself as unique, and I can't do without him in the world. ”

Sun Zhoudao: "I'm afraid that Wang Maozhong can't deal with the aftermath of this matter, do you need to transfer people back?" There is no need for Gongzi to do anything at all, with his attitude, we only need to release some rumors in the market that Wang Maozhong resents His Majesty and resents the Chinese martial arts, and has his own Wen Chen impeaching him. Even if we don't do anything, just like Wang Maozhong, we will anger those ministers who hate him and be impeached. ”

Pei Min stretched a big lazy waist and said, "You are right to analyze Wang Maozhong, but you ignore one point. To deal with Wang Maozhong, Wang Maozhong has never been the key. Do you really think that Wang Maozhong has been able to do so far, relying on himself? That's wrong, Wang Maozhong is rampant in the palace and has offended too many people. Especially the eunuchs and eunuchs...... Which one of them doesn't grit his teeth at Wang Maozhong? Which one has not humiliated him? But he's just as well ......."

Sun Zhou was surprised: "He swept His Majesty's face like this, and His Majesty still tolerated him?" ”

"The royal has always been amazing!" Pei Min had no scruples in private, and his words were a little rebellious, and said: "You are the best at figuring out, but you don't know Your Majesty, so you will feel so." ”

After a heart-to-heart conversation with Mrs. Huayang, Pei Min further understood the situation and the emperor Li Longji.

As Mrs. Huayang described, Li Longji is the most affectionate and ruthless.

Wu Jieyu is rebellious and well-known. But Li Longji just missed her, and tried every means to save her from the cold palace.

And the queen and queen are virtuous and virtuous, with the style of motherhood in the world, and praise the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Before Li Longji ascended the throne, Queen Wang gave Li Longji some support.

The two husbands and wives in distress, according to common sense, even if the queen's demeanor is not as good as in the past, as the mother of the main palace, at least respect should be given.

But Li Longji can't work here, he doesn't like it, that is, he doesn't even have basic respect.

Sun Zhou couldn't understand many of these details of the court.

Pei Min didn't say anything about it, but said, "Look at it, Your Majesty will endure this matter nine times out of ten." His Majesty's tolerance for his henchmen is not something that we ordinary people can measure, and he will give Wang Maozhong a chance until he can't bear it anymore. ”

Sun Zhou asked, "Then let's continue to wait?" ”

"Yes!" Pei Min said with a smile: "Wang Maozhong is not the kind of person who accepts it when he sees it, the more Your Majesty tolerates Wang Maozhong, the more Wang Maozhong will feel that His Majesty can't do without him, and the more rampant he will be." We just need to see the right moment and then add fuel to the fire. ”

**********

Soon Li Longji got the news that Wang Maozhong was sick.

"This bastard!"

Before Li Longji was demented and addicted to enjoyment, power and intelligence were the world's choice for a while.

Wang Maozhong's inferior perfunctory methods, how can he hide from him?

He said with a little annoyance: "General Gao, do you say that this idiot is really sick or fake?" ”

Gao Lishi said, as always: "The old slave does not dare to speak falsely. It's just that Wang Guogong has always been good-looking, and His Majesty openly reprimanded him above the court, and he must feel wronged in his heart. It is not surprising that he is depressed and sick. ”

Li Longji snorted and said, "You will help him say good things, this fool doesn't let me worry at all, look at what he does?" If I didn't scold him a few words, he thought he could still be comfortable at home, and many Wenchen drowned him with a mouthful of spit. It's good now, I was kind enough to protect him, but I blamed it. This idiot is angry. ”

Colliers was very sensible and did not answer.

Li Longji sulked for a while, and said a few times in a half-loud voice: "You asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse of that idiot!" ”

"Yes!" Colliers seemed to have known that this would be the case, and respectfully agreed.

Li Longji knew that Wang Maozhong's illness was faked, but he still arranged for the imperial doctor to treat Wang Maozhong.

Li Longji's arrangement was to reveal a piece of news to the civil and military officials, saying that Wang Maozhong was still a person he trusted, and warned the hundred officials that the matter would end here, and that they should not use the topic to play.

Li Longji was so thoughtful, it was not difficult for the officials to guess it, and most people chose to remain silent and did not entangle Wang Maozhong.

But there are some warriors in this world who know they can't do it.

Qi Di, the servant of the ministry, is such a person, he has figured out Li Longji's thoughts about protecting Wang Mao Zhong.

But he thinks that Wang Maozhong is a villain, and if he is spoiled, he will become a trouble.

Li Longji said a few perfunctory words to Qi Di, and the matter was over.

Three days later, Qi Di transferred Li Longji out of the court and deposed him as an official in other places.

Even if Li Longji was a little dissatisfied with Wang Maozhong, he still trusted him very much in his heart, thanked Wang Maozhong for his Tang Yuan merits, and blessed him strictly.

For Li Longji's protection, Wang Maozhong can be said to be refreshed and let out a bad breath.

After recuperating in the palace for a few days, he returned to the palace to show off his might.

In front of Li Longji, Wang Maozhong was still extremely deferential.

Li Longji didn't bother to deal with Wang Maozhong, a fool, in his eyes, Wang Maozhong was a courtier who accompanied him to relieve his boredom, not a courtier like Pei Min and Gao Lishi who could handle things and entrust them with heavy tasks.

Naturally, the monarchs and ministers played together in harmony, as if nothing had happened.

Only a few sober people know that something happens that happens.

You can ignore it and don't care, but it will never be like it never happened.

**********

On this day, Sun Zhou came to the house to find Pei Min: "Where is the prince!" ”

Sun Zhou has been a little diligent recently, and he is already familiar with Ning Ze.

"In the Sword Pavilion! Go on your own! Ning Ze directly pointed out the way.

Many places in the house are being renovated, but only the Sword Pavilion is the most quiet.

This sword pavilion was repaired by Pei Min according to the dojo of later generations, and it took him a lot of effort at the beginning, and he was very satisfied.

The renovation of Pei's mansion, the rest of Pei Min is left to the autonomy of the Ministry of Industry.

Only the Sword Pavilion is not allowed to move brick and tile.

There are a lot of things to think about recently, and Pei Min didn't disguise himself as Chen Shiwu to go outside, while paying attention to the movements of the imperial court, he was thinking about the affairs of the Gongsun sisters.

"Childe!"

Sun Zhou's voice came from outside.

"Wait for me!" Pei Min responded, did not let Sun Zhou in, but walked out of the Sword Pavilion and sat opposite Sun Zhou in the hospitality hut next to him.

Pei Min saw a slight smile on Sun Zhou's face, and asked patiently, "But there is good news?" ”

Sun Zhou said: "It should be considered good news, just an hour and a half ago." Wang Maozhong's wife gave birth and gave birth to a big fat boy. ”

Pei Min's eyes lit up and said, "Mrs. Zhengfu? ”

"Yes!" Sun Zhou responded: "It's Mrs. Yuguo, Wang Maozhong is happy." ”

Pei Min pondered for a moment, laughed, and said, "Then we will help you, you want to do everything you can to let Chang'an know that Wang Mao Zhongsheng has a son." In this way, today's weather is exceptionally sunny, and it is rumored that when Mrs. Qiuguo gave birth, the sky appeared with colorful glow, like a unicorn descending into the world, and the future must be a civil and military music star. Anyway, no matter how exaggerated and how to blow, the people will take this bite. ”

Sun Zhou said with a smile: "I understand, my subordinates in this area are in charge, and within two days of keeping it, let everyone in Chang'an know that Wang Maozhong gave birth to an amazing son." ”

Pei Min admonished: "Things should be done beautifully, and don't leave a handle." Pretend to be a rumor that flows out of your heart......"

Sun Zhou knew the importance and left solemnly.

Pei Min looked at Sun Zhou's back with a knowing smile on his face.

Dealing with Wang Maozhong is both simple and difficult.

The simplicity is because of Wang Maozhong, and the difficulty is Li Longji.

Wang Maozhong exploded at one point, it was too easy to deal with him, but Li Longji protected him, and with a great god like Li Longji, simple things became difficult because of it.

To deal with Wang Maozhong, you can only outwit it, not the enemy.

Because the opponent is not Wang Maozhong, but the emperor Li Longji.

The fate of Qi Di, the servant of the ministry, proves this.

Therefore, Pei Min's plan from the beginning was to let Wang Maozhong set himself on fire.

Soon there were all kinds of rumors in Chang'an, about Wang Maozhong's son.

A unicorn from the sky!

Surrounded by colorful glow!

Wenqu Xing descended to earth, and Wuqu Xing appeared......

A wide variety of versions.

The ancients believed in this rumor.

Pei Min also has a deep understanding of this.

He is the world's first civil and military champion, and so far the only one.

Because of this, the world has described him as a civil and martial arts star, in order to attract some "fairy energy", the price of the land in Fuxingfang where he lives has doubled by half, and the wealthy families are willing to live next to him.

The Sun Mansion next door also felt that he was fortunate to live next door to Pei's Mansion, so that his son could enter high school.

As a result, he gave the mansion to Pei Min, giving him the opportunity to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house.

This kind of strange thing reached Wang Maozhong's ears, and this very good man with a very wide heart and a great heart believed it to be true.

Although he didn't see any unicorns and colorful glows, as a father, he was a proud and conceited and arrogant first-class man.

Wang Maozhong hoped that his son could be as good as himself and become one of the best people in the world, and said to the left and right without doubt: "My son is blessed by God, and he will become a great weapon and become an indispensable pillar of my dynasty." The day after tomorrow, my son will be three days away, and I will ask the courtiers to congratulate my son. ”

Under Wang Maozhong's arrangement, countless invitations were sent to the mansions of dignitaries everywhere, inviting them to participate in the three-day ceremony.

Almost all the Chinese martial arts received invitations, but only the people from the Criminal Department, Song Jing and Pei Min, who had gaps with him, were deliberately excluded.

Because of Li Longji's protection, although Wang Maozhong lost face before, he also proved the degree of favor from another angle.

The courtiers who mingled in the court were not willing to provoke an important minister who was deeply favored by the emperor.

Most people gave Wang Maozhong face, whether they participated or not, the heavy gift must be served.

The three-day ceremony has not yet begun, and the front of the palace is already full of traffic, and the door is full of people.

The day of the three-day ceremony.

Li Longji had just come down from the court, looked at the information from the Qinglong in his hand, and said to Gao Lishi with a smile: "That fool has a good son, is he happy to go to heaven?" ”

Qinglong's true core power has been wiped out, and part of it is under Li Longji's hands.

Part of it was Gongsun You, Gongsun Xi, and the rest of the Qingyu Alliance, and the rest of the small part that obeyed Li Longji's orders, Li Longji handed it over to Gao Lishi, handed it over to the person he trusted the most, and at the same time changed his name and called back the internal guard.

Gao Lishi smiled: "I am happy with my son, how can I not be happy." ”

Li Longji said: "Then I will make him happy, pass on my message, give him gold silk, wine and food, and make his son a doctor of Chaosan." ”

"Yes!"

Colliers obeyed his promise.

Gao Lishi came to Wang Maozhong's mansion with a large amount of gold silk and wine and delicacies rewarded by Li Longji.

The house was full of guests and the atmosphere was blazing.

Wang Maozhong saw that there were so many people in the court selling his face, and his proud tail was about to rise to the sky, and when he heard that Gao Lishi came by order, he was even more complacent, holding his precious son, and said loudly: "Your Majesty also asked Gao Lishi to give a congratulatory gift to Xiao'er, and the princes went with me to thank you." ”

With a wave of his hand, nearly 100 ministers who were pressed by the black pressure rushed to the front yard together.

Looking at Gao Lishi with a smile on his face, Wang Maozhong "snorted", scolded "castration" in his heart, and shouted: "The minister Wang Maozhong is here!" ”

For eunuchs, he looks down on them in his bones.

didn't even say hello to Colliers, and directly let Colliers announce the decree.

Gao Lishi did not care about Wang Maozhong, and gave the utensils rewarded by Li Longji to people, and also read out the will.

The civil and military officials who greeted the holy decree together around them were all sour in their hearts.

Doctor Chaosan is a five-rank loose official, some people are extremely poor all their lives, and they are only six or seven rank officials, and Wang Maozhong is a courtier, and his son is actually a five-grade official in his life.

People are more angry than people!

Wang Maozhong was not as happy as he imagined, and his original smiling face gradually disappeared.

He remembered that Pei Min's son Xiaoba had also given Li Longji the title of Fifth Rank Official, and a burst of unhappiness surged in his heart.

Xiaoba is the son born to the lowly maid of the Qinglou, how can he be compared with the son born to his own Mrs. Yuguo?

What's more, his son is a unicorn born from the colorful glow?

The two are even on a par?

Wang Maozhong only felt insulted and couldn't bear it, so he looked at Gao Lishi's eunuch and said: "My son is not a third grade, compared with Er?" ”
