"Why are you like this?" Zhao Rui said helplessly.

"Your Highness, you don't see it today, I'll tick it off in the book."

Zhao Rui saw Pei Xu grinning his teeth, and he was even more angry, he clearly didn't take himself as a prince to heart. "Hmph, do you think you can be presumptuous when there is no one around? Pei Qing, you have trespassed. ”

The prince's immaturity has an unprecedented majesty.

"The minister didn't act rudely, it's just that the minister still owes Han Zhen two favors, and now he has to pay back one anyway." Pei Xu bowed.

"Repay favors with the things of the Library Pavilion?" The prince was displeased.

Pei Xu saw him turn his back, he was already angered by him. Pei Xu secretly curled his lips, "If you owe a favor, you should naturally pay it back." Besides, this thing is not owned by the Library Pavilion, and it is recorded on the file that it is temporary. Although so many years have passed, people still have to give if they want to get up now. ”

Zhao Rui frowned, thinking in his heart when Pei Xu became friends with Han Zhen? There is also a debt of favors. Now he has to exchange the things of the East Palace, and just one painting is just a casual matter for him, the prince. But he has always hated others looking for him to serve as a façade.

"That's right, but I am the prince of a country, and you dare to worry about the prince's things, Pei Qing, what is your intention?" There was anger and partiality in his words. It's just that he hasn't asked the reason yet, and it's not time to get angry.

"Minister, minister has no different ambitions. It's just, it's just," he said, stumbling.

Pei Xu is quite playful inside, but he is actually still afraid of his status. The young man in front of him was by no means soft-spoken, on the contrary, his words carried great weight.

"Just what?"

Seeing this, Pei Xu secretly sighed that everything was still being planned. immediately knelt down and burst into tears, "The minister is guilty, please forgive the prince." ”

Zhao Rui was stunned, he was not in a hurry to ask him for the crime, he confessed first. "Tell me, what crime have you committed?" He asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"In the past, the minister and the Tan family had a private relationship, and after His Royal Highness reprimanded, the minister still did not give up. Zhao Jiangxue was friendly with me, so she invited the Tan family to my favor. After Tan's refusal, the minister tossed and turned day and night, couldn't hold back the feelings in his heart, and went there to find her. Pei Xu choked, "Before I saw her, I ran into Lu Yao." When he said this, he held back his words and tears.

Zhao Rui had never heard of it before, and he felt fresh. hurriedly asked: "What happened later?" ”

When he recalled Tan Nu before, he didn't dare to think about what Lu Yao did to him at that time. "He called me a despicable villain, I don't climb up, I just go downstream."

Although Pei Xu's words were intermittent, the prince listened very brightly. It's nothing more than being reprimanded by him, but what does it matter to Han Zhen. "Lu Yao is a straight person, you just remember what he said."

"No, at that time, there were no officials and no positions, and they were still small people in the market. As soon as Lu Yao opened his mouth, he ordered a hundred canes to be punished, saying that the minister was arrogant and rude and deserved to be punished. Pei Xu didn't dare to tell the truth, even if he complained to the prince, he still had to take care of Lu Yao and others.

Zhao Rui felt even more that something was wrong, "Lu Yao was the long history of King Qi's mansion at that time, and it was too frivolous to open his mouth to beat a hundred people." He vaguely felt that there was a mystery behind this.

"Thanks to Han Zhen's persuasion, the minister was spared the pain of flesh and skin." Pei Xu didn't say everything, presumably the prince had almost figured it out.

In his intermittent few words, Zhao Rui had already guessed the cause and effect in it. Dare to say that Pei Xu was so bold that he went to provoke his brother Zhao Cheng, the king of Wei, that is, Lu Yao's master, no wonder people didn't teach him a lesson. Even if Pei Xu was wrong first, no one is used to looking down on people who act as tigers, and Zhao Rui is still a little biased towards Pei Xu.

None of them will say the whole thing, swallow half of the words, and take the previous things as if they didn't have them.

"The minister has already known his mistake and is willing to be punished." In the past, he was still at fault, so he first took a soft face and waited for the prince to be harshly reprimanded.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui had nothing to say. One is to be beaten by crimes, and the other is to be relieved in time. Pei Xu had no reason not to thank him. Such a thank you was not excessive, and he turned a blind eye and passed. "Wrong? Don't do foolish things in the future, and don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with. If it happens again, you can't afford to mix it up as usual. ”

Pei Xu stopped his tears, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and responded: "Yes, yes, the ministers will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

Prince Zhao Rui saw that he was obedient, and he had nothing to say.

"Well, the rotten things on my body let them rot in my stomach, and I don't want to hear about it. When Han Zhen enters Beijing, you have to thank others. Zhao Rui's eyes were tired, and he hurriedly said: "As for "Public Security Policy", you don't need to give it secretly. He smiled slyly.

Didn't he turn the corner just for the Han and Feng families? Anyway, he still knows how to repay his kindness, he let him go first, and it will be easy to keep it in the future.

The tears on Pei Xu's face had dried up, and the night breeze was secretly cold on his face.

"The prince's kindness will never be forgotten by the minister."

Zhao Rui was tired of listening to these words, and said with a shallow smile: "Pei Qing is good if he has a heart, he can do anything well." ”

He helped Pei Xu up and patted him on the shoulder, "In terms of age, you are a few years older than me, and you are my brother." I respect you and respect you, and I can tolerate anything you do. But outside, I am the prince, the prince who is being stared at by countless people, and some of them even want to pull me down. Once something happened to the previous dynasty, the day changed. ”

The crown prince is also afraid that like the dispute between the princes at the end of the Xie family, the brothers of the same clan and clan will break their heads and bleed, and finally let them win the world as relatives.

Zhao Rui smiled faintly, and Pei Xu looked at him again. The young man who is quiet in his impression has become a high-flying prince, a young prince who is full of wealth and wealth.

In just three years, the young man has become much more sophisticated.

What else can't be done in the world?

"The minister knows what to do."

Pei Xu's heart was full of perseverance, and he was bound to go down this road.

Zhao Rui's eyes were clear and very sincere, "You must know that your Zhongshu Sheren, the prince of my country, is not easy to get." He put his hand on Pei Xu's shoulder, which was both a trust in him and a wake-up call.

Pei Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "The minister knows that all this is the result of hard work, and of course he will protect it desperately." ”

Gongwei East Palace is Gongwei himself. He is both the master who controls himself and the hope of his future.

The opportunity to turn over must be grasped no matter what.

"Ah, it is difficult to govern the country, I hope Pei Qing can come to the East Palace more in the future."

Zhao Rui's implication was to let him worry less about other things, and just assist him wholeheartedly. Pei Xu was a jinshi in the first year of the Great Qi Taiqian, and the emperor personally named the first name. Although the ranking was erased because the family did not tolerate it, the Jinshi and the first were well deserved. The prince also had to admit that they were using each other, one was miserably operating, the other was walking on thin ice, the two of them were inexplicably similar.

"I know. In accordance with the wishes of His Highness. ”
