The two played two games in a row, and each other won and lost. The three games were decided, but halfway through the third game, the raindrops fell onto the chessboard, and Pei Xu said: "It's raining, the prince should go into the academy to take shelter from the rain." Neither of them listened to him and kept concentrating on playing chess.

After a while, it was pouring rain, and the waiter persuaded them to go inside to hide from the rain.

Zhao Rui sighed, "It's been a long time since I've been so hearty." ”

Pei Xu gave him a handkerchief, "Lang Jun, you are happy, we are soaked." He was right, he had just pulled the prince in, and he hadn't had time to dry his face.

Zhao Rui threw it back again, "You clean up after yourself first"

"Thank you." Pei Xu smiled.

When he came back from changing his clothes, the prince was waiting in the study.

Jing'an Study, under the rain at night in Chang'an, still retains the simple tranquility. The cultural toys displayed on the shelves are contemplative. The furnishings of this house are simple, but undoubtedly elegant.

"Let someone send Yang Dianshu back?"

Pei Xu said: "After the rain, the prince wants to recuperate, of course it is inconvenient to talk to Yang Dianshu again." ”

Zhao Rui smiled, "By the way, today's deliberations in the court, in addition to being the governor of the state, are also for the humiliation of the imperial history." ”

"But Guo Baoyi went to Luoyang to see the saint, and I don't know what he said or did."

Pei Xu hesitated here, in case the emperor sheltered him, he might be easily bitten by Guo Baoyi and others in the future.

"I said before that it is difficult to be a man, at this juncture, the officials of the world are staring at us." Zhao Rui's eyes stared at him, staring at him tightly with a gaze that Pei Xu didn't dare to penetrate.

"Just Guo Baoyi, relying on everyone's honor, he dares to bully others, and he doesn't take my Qi Lu seriously. Since he regarded the law as a haze, he punished according to the law. ”

Seeing that the prince was so determined, Pei Xu naturally said: "The minister will be sent to Luoyang overnight tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry," Zhao Rui stopped him. "Kill chickens with a knife, just ask Dali Temple to do it."

"It's okay, Dali Temple is the most appropriate."

Pei Xu already had a plan in his heart, and it would be good to teach Guo Baoyi and the others a lesson.

Zhao Rui said: "Take this as a warning, so as not to implicate others in the future." ”

"Your Highness, the minister understands."

Zhao Rui said: "Ling Zun and Feng Shangshu both went to Luoyang, and the household department and the official department were temporarily presided over by Shilang. ”

"But Xue Yao, the servant of the household department, has only come to the table to beg for bones."

Xue Yao was a late bloomer, and he was only called into the official at sixty. Ten years have passed, Xue Gong is already old, and he has privately said that he will resign and return to his hometown in the future. The document was submitted only yesterday, and within ten years, the prince will allow him to return to his hometown.

"Let Wang Han serve as the servant."

"Wang Han is Wang Qingzhi's adoptive father, and it is not appropriate for him to be in charge of the household department."

Pei Xu's words were intermittent, and he really didn't have a good impression of Wang's father and son.

"Guess who recommended him?"

"Could it be Wang Situ?"

Wang Shao is the queen's brother and the emperor's most relied on cronies. Zhongshu Ling Xie Zhenben was in a high position, and it was obvious that he still had to take a few steps back.

"Of course."

Prince Zhao Rui's words actually showed his displeasure, when he was in charge of the country, how could he hope that others would help him manage the government?

"Everyone has been driving Dongdu for nearly half a year, and they should have returned to Luan in early May. But now Luoyang has no will. Pei Xu said.

"Alas," Zhao Rui sighed lightly, "Tomorrow, the scholar will draft an edict, and after showing it to Xie Ge Lao and Wang Situ, there is no need to send it to the East Palace." He said again: "Straight bachelor Han Zhen, add the prince to the people." ”
