Chapter 118: Don't play cards according to routines
Because Pei Huai just said this, and there was no next sentence.
"Gone?" Xu Xi was a little confused.
"And what else do you want to hear?" Pei Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xu Xi and asked, "Want to know the relationship between her and this seat?" ”
"Well, I want to know." Xu Xi said unabashedly, "If it is the person that the National Teacher likes, it is not suitable for me to stay, and I will inevitably be misunderstood by her." ”
"The woman I like?" Pei Huai couldn't help but smile lightly, and instantly came to Xu Xi's face, stretched out his hand to support her on the left and right sides of her side, and imprisoned her on the chair. This succeeded in scaring Xu Xi, I don't understand what Pei Huai is smoking?
"What, what's wrong?" Xu Xi asked.
"Don't you know who the woman I like is?" Pei Huai asked softly.
Should she know? Xu Xi was still a little stunned, staring at him, his heart was beating fast, and he asked softly, "I, should I know?" ”
Why doesn't this national teacher play cards according to the routine?
"The emperor has arrived." A sharp voice sounded, Princess Yuqi had just returned from outside the palace and walked to the door of her palace, and this sound sounded behind her.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that Wen Min's Luan was almost in front of him, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
"Yuqi see the royal brother, long live the royal brother, long live long live."
"Get up." Wen Min said, got off the sedan chair, and waited until Yuqi stood up, then he took the lead into Princess Yuqi's bedroom, and Princess Yuqi walked in closely.
Entering the main hall, Wen Min sat on the top seat, and Yuqi sat on the chair next to him.
For a while, Wen Min didn't speak, but no one dared to say anything.
"I just saw that you seem to have just returned, but where have you been?" Wen Min asked out loud.
"If you go back to the imperial brother, Yuqi will go out of the palace." Yuqi didn't dare to hide anything, so she naturally answered honestly and truthfully.
"Have you gone to the National Teacher's Mansion?" Wen Min asked casually.
This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, up and down the palace, who doesn't know that this Princess Yuqi has such a persistent heart for Pei Huai?
Wen Min had also opposed it before, but in the end, he couldn't resist her persistence, so he could only let her go.
Who made her his favorite girl? is also his last relative now.
It's just that letting her marry Pei Huai is not the result that Wen Min likes to see, so no matter how much this Princess Yuqi likes Pei Huai, he has never said that he wants to marry the two of them.
In order to let Princess Yuqi also die on this road of marriage proposal, he also casually made up a condition, if he does not meet the requirements, he will not give marriage, this is Wen Min's insistence, and he is also very sure that Princess Yuqi will definitely not meet such a condition, because he knows Pei Huai very well.
Pei Huai is now hand-eyed, and he will never marry the princess of the dynasty.
"Yes." Princess Yuqi nodded a little depressed and responded.
"What's wrong? Who bullied my baby girl? You name it, and I will be angry for you. Wen Min looked at his sister-in-law so unhappy, and when he thought about it, he knew that he must have received some kind of cold treatment in the National Teacher's Mansion. Otherwise it wouldn't be such an expression.
"It's that no one bullied me, it's just that I went to the National Teacher's Mansion and didn't see the National Teacher. So the mood is a little low. Princess Yuqi said, "Brother Huang, I don't think the National Teacher always seems to be waiting to see me, and I don't know what's wrong with this." ”
"He doesn't like you, then don't go again, there are so many good sons and daughters in the Manchu Dynasty, there is always an excellent person who can be worthy of your identity as a princess." Wen Min said earnestly, I hope she can stop and never think about marrying Pei Huai again.
Princess Yuqi shook her head slightly, looked at Wen Min, and said, "Brother Huang once said before, as long as the two are happy, you will give us a marriage." Yuqi also believes that I will definitely do it, and the National Teacher will definitely see my intentions. ”
So, she wasn't going to give up.
Wen Min looked at Yuqi's persistence at this moment, but he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Forget it, it's up to you." I'm just coming to see you, it's not too early, I'm like I'm going back to Beichen Palace. ”
Wen Min said, stood up, and walked outside.
"Congratulations to the royal brother." Princess Yuqi immediately saluted and said.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the princess will definitely think clearly in the future." Seeing Wen Min walk out of the princess's bedroom, he sighed slightly, and the chief eunuch who followed Wen Min hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade and say.
"I hope so." Wen Min said lightly, got into the sedan chair, and left.
In the National Teacher's Mansion, in the study, Pei Huai just wanted to say something to Xu Xi, but he was suddenly disturbed by a knock outside the door, and the just right atmosphere in this room was gone.
"Master, there's news from Xinghua County." Jingqi said loudly.
Hearing this, Pei Huai also stood up straight, tidied up the clothes on his body slightly, and then said, "Come in." ”
"Do I need to get out of the way?" Xu Xi was actually slightly relieved in her heart, just now, she was really a little afraid that Pei Huai would blurt out words to her like this, if this was the case, she didn't know how she should react.
It's good now, at least she doesn't need to face the love expressed by Pei Huai, she can develop it slowly, and talk about it later.
"There's no need to shy away, and there's nothing you can't know." Pei Huai said, and he had already sat back on the chair behind the table.
At this time, Jingqi had already walked in with a letter, handed the letter directly to Pei Huai's hand, and waited aside.
Pei Huai took the letter and glanced at it, but suddenly slapped the table, obviously a little annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xi looked at Pei Huai and asked.
"Just look at it." Pei Huai picked up the letter in his hand and said to Xu Xi.
Xu Xi stood up, walked over, picked up the letter, looked at it, and asked, "Is this true?" It was written that Guo Lin, the minister of the Qin Mission, investigated the truth of the matter, which was originally a happy thing, but for some reason, it was written on it, which seemed to be mixed with the hands and feet of Sima Yi, the young master of the current prince.
This is also the reason why Pei Huai is so angry.
The main reason is that Sima Yi is in a high position, and he also happens to control this area, the people of Xinghua County are displaced and hungry, and they don't know how many people have starved to death.
During this time, to investigate this corrupt official, the imperial court also re-allocated grain to Xinghua County, which was regarded as a temporary stabilization of people's hearts, just waiting for the matter to be investigated, and then the grain was re-distributed.
But what Pei Huai never expected was that such an incredible figure was involved.
"It's the confession of the corrupt officials who were caught." Jingqi replied.
Therefore, the truth of this thing is actually quite high.
"This Lord Sima is in a high position, how is he?" Xu Xi thought for a while, looked at Jingqi, and asked.
"This Lord Sima and his master are mortal enemies, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including His Majesty the current emperor, he is the only one who dares to fight against the master, and he can be regarded as evenly matched." Jingqi replied, "As for character..... I have to say that he can be regarded as an upright person." ”
At least, many times for Pei Huai, it is always placed in the open, and rarely in secret, because of this, although the first two assassinations, although they were all related to this Lord Sima, Pei Huai believed that the assassin was someone else, and it should not be Sima Yi.
But this time the relief ......
"Since he is an upright person, I think he should not do anything with such relief food." Xu Xi said.
"Why?" Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi and asked.
"Because, generally such a person will have his own set of principles, since there is a bottom line, then he will definitely not do such a thing without a bottom line, besides, he is already in a high position, what will he not have? How much silver is the food for disaster relief?
1,000 taels of gold or 10,000 taels of gold? Is it worth the risk? Once this is investigated, no matter how big or small the official position is, it will be decided immediately, and it will never be tolerated and adulterous, so there is no need to take risks, if you want money, instead of doing something on it, it is better to accept bribes faster, more convenient, and safer. ”
Xu Xi's reason is very clear and clear, in short, it is a sentence, such a character, there is really no need to take risks, because it is not worth it.
Pei Huai calmed down slightly, thought about it carefully, but didn't speak for a while.
"But if this is not the truth, why would these people insist that this matter has something to do with Lord Sima?" Jingqi is a little confused, it's really unnecessary.
Xu Xi turned his eyes to Pei Huai and said, "The National Teacher must be very concerned about this matter, right?" ”
"Naturally, this matter was brought up by the master." Jingqi said, after saying this, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but say, "Master, the black hand behind this scene is actually coming for you." ”
"No, it's not just for the National Teacher." Xu Xi shook his head slightly and said.
"Killing two birds with one stone. Kill each other. Pei Huai continued softly.
"That's right." Xu Xi nodded and said.
Indeed, if what she analyzed is not wrong, the effect of the people behind these people is to make Pei Huai mistakenly think that the mastermind behind this matter is actually Sima Yi, so that Pei Huai and Sima Yi will "fight" each other.
Only in this way can the people behind the scenes be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"Come to think of it, it should be the first two assassinations, you didn't do anything to fight back against Sima Yi, and the people behind the scenes couldn't sit still, so they had a plan to provoke a war between you again, so this good show is really exciting." Xu Xi said again.
