Before dawn, Yang Yuanqing was about to leave the palace, and the matter of Jing Cheng was not dealt with, and it was impossible for him to sit firmly in the court, although he entrusted Li Jing with full responsibility for the matter of Jing Cheng, but full responsibility did not mean that he Yang Yuanqing ignored it and should be the shopkeeper.

This time back to Taiyuan, he actually just came to see his family, he is not Dayu, he can pass through the door three times without entering, the last time he went south from Mayi, he did not enter the city, this time he did not go home to see, it is a little too much.

At the fifth watch, it was the deepest time of the night, the gate of the Chu Palace's mansion opened, and more than a dozen maids and servants came out with lanterns, and the orange and red lights illuminated the front of the gate.

Outside the gate of the mansion, a large group of war horses stood in formation, taking a few steps back from time to time, making a clattering sound, and hundreds of guards put on helmets and armor, controlled the war horses, and waited for the order to set off.

Yang Yuanqing was sent out of the mansion by Minqiu and Chuchen, although Pei Minqiu had a smile on her face, there was a worry in her eyes that could not be concealed, she had not slept all night, and she looked a little haggard.

Last night, her husband didn't come to his yard, since they got married for ten years, every time Yuanqing comes back, he must spend the night in her room first, this is already a family rule, after all, she is a princess and a wife, which is also a respect for her.

But last night, this family rule was broken, and the husband went to Chuchen, and there was no special reason, if he was going to visit Asto, maybe there was a far-fetched reason, but going to Chuchen, it was obviously a shame for himself.

This made Pei Minqiu really dissatisfied in her heart, her husband's actions last night hurt her self-esteem, since they are husband and wife, there is nothing that cannot be said, why didn't he talk to himself, what did he do wrong? I have to make everyone know about it and tear my face.

But while Pei Minqiu was dissatisfied, her heart was also full of worries, she knew her husband very well, and her husband was not a ruthless person. Ten years of loving husband and wife, if there are no major problems, he will not put on such a face to himself.

Something big must have happened, and Pei Minqiu is also an extremely smart woman. She heard that Yang Yuanqing was reluctant to go to her yard, so she immediately inquired about the situation, only to know that Du Ruhui had come, and this must be what Du Ruhui said.

Pei Minqiu sensitively realized that it was Ning'er's burial that her husband knew? If that's all there is, the husband should come to him in a rage.

It is very likely that it is the Pei family, Du Ruhui told her husband. It was the Pei family who was behind the scenes, so her husband was angry with her.

Pei Minqiu thought about it all night, and her heart was extremely sad, the originally loving husband and wife had a rift because of the devil of power, if she was given a choice, she would never be this princess, and would rather be her wife in charge of Fengzhou.

"Ma'am. I'm leaving. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled at Pei Minqiu, he sighed a little in his heart, in fact, he also knew that his wife might be innocent. It's just her maiden family...... Alas! It's up to her to untie the knot.

Pei Minqiu also smiled reluctantly and asked, "When will the husband return?" ”

"It's as little as ten days, as much as half a month, in short, before the New Year, I will definitely come back."

Yang Yuanqing turned over and got on the horse, nodded to the dust again, and shook the reins, "Drive!" "The horses rushed out, ran across the moat, and ran into the boundless darkness.

Pei Minqiu looked at her husband and ran away. She had a feeling of being abandoned by her husband, and her heart ached, and her body began to weaken.

Chuchen, who had been silent, noticed Pei Minqiu's abnormality, and hurriedly supported her, "Eldest sister, your body is ...... Uncomfortable? ”

Of course, she knew why. But what can she say, do you want her to say, 'I didn't mean to' or 'I don't know about it, I don't know about it,' and so on.

At this time, saying this kind of thing will only stimulate Pei Minqiu even more, and at this time, the best way is to be silent.

Chuchen hurriedly instructed the maid, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Qin!" ”

Pei Minqiu hurriedly waved his hand, "No need to go, I'm fine, it's just that I didn't have a good rest last night." ”

She helped out of the dust, slowly walked towards the mansion, and when she looked up, Pei Minqiu saw the mansion card above her head, 'Chu Wangfu', these three words were so dazzling at this time, she was dizzy for a while, and her heart was cramping to the extreme, she couldn't wait to pick up an axe and smash this brand.

As soon as the sky dawned, Pei Minqiu was so angry that he went to Pei's house......

It is impossible to guarantee that you are always right at all times, and even a scheming person cannot be perfect.

Especially when the stakes are at stake, the wise will make some unwise decisions because they are overconfident, and thus make big mistakes.

Pei Ju is a typical example, because he was too confident, so he did an extremely risky thing, whether it was stupid or not is unknown, but for Pei Ju, he was forced by the situation and had to take this step.

In the past two days, Pei Ju has been paying attention to Ruizhao's affairs, Ruizhao's appearance in Taiyuan City has been in an uproar, and the whole city is talking about Yang Yuanqing's accession to the throne, it can be said that Yang Yuanqing's accession to the throne is already a household name and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

What's more, his ascension to the throne has become the expectation of the people of the world, and it can be seen from the welcome of the whole city when he returned that his enthronement has been the desire of the people.

Not only the people, but also the undercurrent in the officialdom is turbulent, just Pei Ju has mastered the situation, there are already three groups of people who are initiating a petition to ascend the throne, at this time, everyone wants to grab the merit of supporting the establishment, even including Su Wei, Pei Ju is very clear that Su Wei is also planning to support Yang Yuanqing.

But the reason why Pei Ju created Ruizhao was not to make any meritorious contributions, he had deeper intentions, he hoped that Yang Yuanqing would ascend the throne in Taiyuan, not in Chang'an.

This involves the most vital interests of the Hedong family, if the throne is enthroned in Taiyuan, then the officials of the Hedong family will share a huge share of the interests, and the officials of the Hedong family are more or less related to the Pei family, and the Pei family must be the final beneficiary.

On the contrary, if Yang Yuanqing ascends the throne in Chang'an, then the Hedong officials will inevitably be marginalized, and the Hedong officials who have followed him for so many years will also be disappointed in the Pei family, which will have a significant impact on the future future of the Pei family.

Pei Ju knows these entanglements of interests better than anyone else, and the victory of this Sui Tu War is indeed an excellent opportunity to persuade Yang Yuanqing to ascend the throne, if Yang Yuanqing refuses, then use public opinion and courtiers to force him to ascend the throne.

If Pei Ju only promoted Yang Yuanqing to ascend the throne for the sake of family interests, he would not use Yang Yuanqing's eldest son Yang Ning to bury the jade seal, after all, it was too risky to do so, and once Yang Yuanqing knew about it, he would probably lose the most important chess piece of the prince of Chu.

The main one is a greater risk that threatens the interests of the Pei family, and that is the reconciliation between the Guanlong nobles and Yang Yuanqing.

He also learned not long ago that Zhang Lei, the commander of the ordnance superintendent, turned out to be a member of the Dugu family, his real name was Dugu Lei, and Yang Yuanqing obviously knew it for a long time, which also shows that the Dugu family and Yang Yuanqing had already colluded.

Although Yang Yuanqing was the vanguard of Yang Guang's attack on the Guanlong nobles, and formed an indissoluble enmity with the Guanlong nobles, the times have changed, and with the change of his identity, the hatred between him and the Guanlong nobles will gradually fade, especially the Guanlong nobles who took the initiative to take refuge, which will make them laugh and enmity.

The Dugu family has already taken effect, so the Dou family, the eldest grandson family, the Yu family, the Yuwen family, the Hou Mo Chen family and other Guanlong nobles, will they not take refuge in Yang Yuanqing?

Once Yang Yuanqing gets the Guanlong nobles, he will inevitably integrate the Guanlong nobles and the Guanlong nobles to balance the power of the Shandong scholars.

If it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't use Yang Ning's chess piece, Pei Ju knew it in his heart, even if Pei Minqiu found out, she would hide it and wouldn't tell Yang Yuanqing.

However, Pei Ju didn't expect that Yang Yuanqing actually returned to Taiyuan yesterday, which made his heart a little nervous, he thought that Yang Yuanqing would go to Jingcheng first, and then Taiyuan.

Just when Pei Ju was sitting in the study and pondering about this matter, there was a sound of running outside the door, only to hear Pei Yao report urgently outside the door: "The head of the family, the princess is here!" ”

Pei Ju was startled, and hurriedly said: "Open the door quickly and roll out the red carpet to greet you." ”

Although Pei Minqiu is the granddaughter of the Pei family, her identity is the princess of Chu after all, and she will be the queen in the future, Pei Ju did not dare to slack off at all, he hurriedly changed his clothes and hurriedly greeted him.

Pei Minqiu came lightly, without notifying Pei's Mansion in advance, and did not send an official letter, that is, Pei Minqiu returned to her parents' home in a private capacity.

She did return to her mother's house in a private capacity, and she wanted to find her grandfather and talk to him clearly.

Pei Minqiu didn't wait for the Pei family to open the door, nor did he wait for the red carpet to come out, so he rushed into the Pei Mansion angrily, Pei Yao hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "Princess, please wait, the Pei family can't give a salute like this." ”

"I'm not a princess now, I'm looking for my grandfather, please take me there."

Pei Yao felt the dissatisfaction in Pei Minqiu's tone, he didn't dare to say anything more, and glanced at the four female guards who followed behind Pei Minqiu.

The four female guards seemed to understand what he meant, took a step forward, and guarded the princess tightly, Pei Yao was helpless, so he had to bow his hand to Pei Minqiu: "Go to the Guike Hall!" Grandfather is waiting for you there. ”

In fact, Pei Ju didn't come out to greet him, he walked halfway and heard that Pei Minqiu didn't bring the palace guards and officials, but just came in a light carriage, so he knew that Pei Minqiu came to Pei's mansion in a private capacity, since this is the case, there is no need for him to welcome it with such fanfare.

He sat in the guest hall, patiently waiting for his granddaughter to arrive, and after a while, there was a ring sound, Pei Minqiu walked up to the lobby, and the four personal female guards stood under the hall, standing solemnly, holding the handle of the knife and watching the movement in the hall.

Pei Ju hurriedly got up and said with a loving smile on his face: "Minqiu, why are you free today?" ”

Pei Minqiu yīn had a calm face, didn't say a word, and didn't salute, Pei Ju was stunned, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly gave a deep salute, "Minister Pei Ju, see the princess!" ”
