"What do you want to do?" Dugu Huaien looked at Pei Lian, and suddenly became a little nervous, he heard a trace of murder in Pei Lian's voice, which made him feel a little weird, and couldn't help but look at the other party and asked.

"Lord Dugu, what are you afraid of, and you didn't say anything? However, I heard that Miss Dugu has not become the emperor's concubine, so I am afraid that the title of this county duke will not be your turn! Pei Lin smiled and said, "Aren't you also like me, becoming a little Hanlin?" Qinggui is very noble. ”

Dugu Huaien's lips trembled for a while, and he couldn't help but glance outside, and said in a low voice: "You want to die!" What kind of place is this, it's Chang'an, Jinyiwei is everywhere, you and I also have Jinyiwei in the mansion, if you want to die, I will definitely not stop you, but there are some things you must not say. ”

"What are you afraid of, even if you have a brocade guard, what can you do?" Although Pei Lin said it, he still glanced around, and finally said: "Everyone has the need to exist, Li Xin's existence is to unify the world, and now that the world has been unified, then there is no need for him to exist, what do you think?" ”

"Hmph, what do you want to do?" Dugu Huaien snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"I'm afraid that all the big families in the world are thinking about this, but no one has said it." Pei Lin snorted coldly and said: "It's not that they don't have a chance, they just don't have the courage, I'm going to do this, I don't know if you have the courage." This world itself is the world of the family, look at how many families occupy the court now, and how many people are on the list every time they take the imperial examination? ”

"This is a way for the emperor, how many years has the family controlled the government, this was the case back then, why did Yang Guang fall. Isn't it because there are too many families? Forcing him to flee to the South? Dugu Huaien's voice was very calm, and he said, "So His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again." ”

"So we deserve to be unlucky?" Pei Lian's face was gloomy, and he said, "I'm not old, and I can work for another ten years, but now?" I can only hold books, and when I get old, I will be kicked out of the court, and it is impossible to walk in Chang'an City decently. How can you and I live such a life? ”

"Let's go! I'm not going to talk about today. Dugu Huaien drove Pei Lin away and said, "Although I can't support you. But again, everything has to be done with care. ”

"Lord Dugu's courage is too small, take your leave." Pei Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly flicked his sleeves and left Dugu Huai'en Mansion.

"Hey! Brother Pei, it's really too difficult, if you continue to do it like this, I'm afraid it will be cleaned up by others before it starts. Dugu Huaien looked at Pei Lian's back and sighed deeply: "If you want to do it, you have to kill with one blow." Gee. It's a pity. Dugu Huaien shook his head and entered his study.

In the depths of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, Li Xin saw Yuan Gai Suwen's sister Yuan Xiuzhen again, and she was sitting there quietly. Although it is a flower and a moon, it has not seen the sun for a long time and is pale.

"It's all already trained?"

Li Xin was beside Song He, his face was oozing, after listening to Li Xin's words. Hurriedly said: "I invited more than a dozen ** from Qinglou to come, and what these people are best at is training these women, Your Majesty." You can enjoy it with confidence. ”

"Good. However, instead of enjoying it now, you can enjoy it later in the evening. Li Xin thought about it, beckoned Song He and whispered a few words in Song He's ear, Song He's face was stunned, and soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The minions will arrange for two painters." Song He hurriedly said after hearing this.

"It is rumored that Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, once did this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that I, Li Xin, also wanted to do this kind of thing." After Li Xin waited for Song He to leave, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's just that if you don't make Yuangai Suwen crazy like this, how can you break the alliance between Goguryeo and the Turks in the future?" The two of them want to attack together and force me to fight on two fronts, I'm afraid it's a little difficult! ”

Li Xin looked at the beauties in the prison, she no longer had the arrogance she had at the beginning, and there was still a hint of fear in the depths of her eyes, and she didn't know how she was trained by those **, and she actually changed like this, but fortunately, women from other countries always have a sense of accomplishment.

"Your Majesty, the Minister Ji Gang has something to do." While he was thinking about it, Ji Gang's voice came from outside.

"What's the matter?" Li Xin's face moved, beckoned Ji Gang, and asked in a low voice.

"The ministers have been in close contact with the family recently, and there are many moves in tandem with each other. The whereabouts of these people are secretive, but unfortunately, they don't know their plans, and the minister is worried? Ji Gang glanced at Li Xin cautiously.

"Don't worry, I believe these people don't dare to do anything, it must be because of the Jingcha incident." Li Xin thought about it, but still didn't care and said: "Just send someone to keep an eye on them, you can't do it too obviously, a group of frustrated people always have to give them a little space to speak." The family always has to disappear in the long river of history, which is not a big deal. "Li Xin doesn't care about these people very much, they don't have military power in their hands, what else can they do? Especially in this place of Chang'an.

Chang'an City is indeed calm, Jingcha did not come out, I heard that even the emperor has not made a decision, who to send to preside over the major affairs of Jingcha, is the first assistant Lord Du Ruhui, or or Wei Yuancheng, or the eldest grandson Wuji and others, but one thing is certain, the person who presides over the Jingcha plan must be one of the auxiliary ministers.

So these days, there are countless people who have asked for a meeting in front of these auxiliary ministers, and they have all extended to Chang'an Avenue, especially the family of Du Ruhui, the first auxiliary minister. Du Ruhui was exhausted.

"The plan of Jingcha involves the country, but you are in the Ministry of Officials, Your Majesty may want to promote you to be the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and you will not be involved if you want to come to Beijing, why are you here?" Du Ruhui looked at Du Yan and said. Speaking of which, Du Yan is still his elder, but it is in the Du family, but in the imperial court, Du Ruhui's title and official title are far above Du Yan.

"Xiaguan is worried about the big family, is Your Majesty going to do something to the big family this time?" Du Yan said with some concern: "Your Majesty has just unified the Central Plains, is it a little early to start at this time." ”

"That depends on what Your Majesty means." Du Ruyan hesitated for a while before he said: "If it is aimed at the family, it will be Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng and even the eldest grandson Wuji who will come forward, if not, then Cen Wenwen will come forward, but he will definitely not let me come forward to preside over the Jingcha plan." Du Ruhui still knows Li Xin very well, but he doesn't know what Li Xin's goal is this time, so he can only be vague.

"Recently, these big families have been connected more powerfully, and they have used various occasions to talk to each other and discuss this matter." Du Yan sighed: "What I'm worried about is that there may be a conspiracy here!" ”

"What can they do? There are no more private soldiers, some are just some family members, these are also limited, what can they do? Du Ruhui said indifferently: "Jingcha is not a stick to kill people in one breath, as long as there is ability, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally have a reward, just imagine that there are so many official positions in this world, if you get rid of those useless people, aren't you afraid that the remaining official positions will not find anyone?" The family has always scored some points! It stands to reason that these big families should welcome this, why would they oppose it? Du Ruhui himself was a little confused.

"The human heart is always lacking because they want more. Shousuke-sama, isn't that so? ”

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, it has been like this since ancient times, Your Majesty should probably be more severe." Du Ruyan snorted coldly and said, "These big families, do you still want to go back to the past? The situation is not something that these people can grasp if they want to. ”

"That being said, does the imperial court have so many reserve talents?" Du Yan said in a low voice: "Of course, some of the big families in the family are not in the same mind as the imperial court, but now Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, and he needs the help of the big family, I believe that those big families don't dare to make trouble at this time!" ”

"You're here to be a lobbyist?" Du Ruhui was suddenly a little dissatisfied, and said: "The emperor has treated the Guanzhong family very favorably over the years, when did you let you come as a lobbyist?" ”

"There are three kinds of families in the world, the first is to support the imperial court, which includes my Du family, Wei family, these families who have benefited from the Tang Dynasty, these families will never have any problems, the second is the Li family's Shun family, these families dare not confront the court, but in private, they will not cooperate, the third type, that is, to find ways to dismantle the stage, this kind of family is the most treacherous." Du Yan smiled bitterly: "The most basic interests of the family are called being deprived, such as Pei Lian. When Du Yan said this, he glanced at Du Ruhui.

"What's wrong with Pei Lian?" Du Ruhan said with a smile: "A flattering minister, a minister who likes to collude with foreign races, such a person has no ability, should the court also raise this kind of person?" That's a big joke. Could it be that he also wants to seal the county duke? So how about other meritorious people? What do the officers and men in the army think? ”

"Even so, Pei Lin has a wide range of contacts, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case those big families are mobilized for him, the face of the court is not good-looking, the key is that now in the state capital and county of the world, this part of the power is still in the hands of the family. That's the hard thing to do. Du Yan said seriously: "Look at the lower officials, it's better to take a step back." Kyocha continued, but not too strictly. What do adults think? Du Ruhui nodded when he heard this, but he didn't speak, just served tea and asked people to send Du Yan out. (To be continued.) )
