Luoyang, the sky is bright.

In the Zichen Palace, bursts of angry shouts came from the hall, and the countless palace maids and guards outside the hall all bowed their heads deeply.

After a long time, Pei Yan withdrew from the Zichen Hall with an ugly face.

Walking down the steps, Pei Yan couldn't help but scold: "Damn Li Jingye, damn ......"

The last few words, Pei Yan swallowed back hard.

This place is still in the palace, if his words are really spoken, the martial queen will immediately call him back again, and then scold him again.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Yan continued to walk forward, and soon walked out of the Danfeng Gate.

Entering the imperial city, Pei Yan's expression finally eased.

Now in the Imperial City, there are not so many secret guards.

Thinking of today's events, Pei Yan couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, not only for Li Jingye, but also for the king of Nanchang.

The king of Nanchang investigated the case in Luoyang, and finally not only found the body of a director of the Luoyang Criminal Department, but even traced down to his Shangguan in Chang'an, a member of the criminal department, Wailang, but this member of the criminal department died in ......

"Zilong." A familiar voice came from the front, which immediately drew Pei Yan's attention back.

Pei Yan hurriedly raised his head, and suddenly an old man in a purple robe and white beard walked from the front, Pei Yan hurriedly bowed his hand: "Uncle." ”

Pei Guangxiao stopped, looked at Pei Yan, and asked slowly, "The Queen of Heaven has summoned you." ”

Although Pei Yan's face was a little ugly, he still nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Pei Yan, Pei Xingjian, Pei Guangxiao, although they are all from Xima Pei, Zhongjia Pei and Dongjia Pei, but after all, they are all ancestors, and the genealogy is sorted.

Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan, one is the secretary of the military department, and the other is the secretary of the criminal department, but when they see Pei Guangxiao, they all have to hold the junior courtesy.

……

"Uncle heard about it too?" Pei Yan does not shy away from being reprimanded by the queen of heaven, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reprimand of the queen of heaven is a kind of protection in itself.

"The news of Luoyang, everyone cares." Pei Guangxiao bowed slightly, and said: "The king of Nanchang found out that the person was not Ming Chongyan, and the news that he had drawn a portrait has spread throughout the imperial city from the ministry.

After that, a member of the Criminal Department committed suicide, supervised the imprisonment of Wei Siwen, and the news that Jin Wuwei blocked Huaiyuanfang......"

The corners of Pei Yan's mouth twitched slightly, these are all things that have happened in just two days.

The king of Nanchang went to Luoyang, and in just one day, the case of "Ming Chongyan" has been completely solved, and even all of them have solid evidence.

As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Pei Yan naturally knew how difficult it was, but he knew even more how unlucky he was to be suddenly involved in these things.

"Uncle, that member is not Zilong's person, he has been in the Criminal Department longer than Zilong." Pei Yan shook his head and explained: "That person, if it's either Li Jingye's person, it's a person from the Demon Sect. ”

"No, it's Li Jingye's person." Pei Guangxiao waved his hand directly.

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uncle is right, it is Li Jingye's person." ”

Li Jingye is the grandson of the British Duke Li Li, and over the years, Li Li has not known how many people he has promoted, and it is not surprising that there are so many of them in the Criminal Department.

If you say this to the outside world, even if Pei Yan is responsible for negligence, it is understandable.

But if that person is a member of the Demon Sect, then it means that Pei Yan did not see that among his subordinates, there are people from the Demon Sect.

That's a big problem.

If it is Li Jingye's person, at most it will only reveal some news, but if it is a person from the Demon Sect, then how many unjust, false and wrongful cases have been committed by Pei Yan's subordinates over the years.

That is, Pei Yan was a little annoyed in his heart just now, so he didn't see it clearly, but now that he calmed down, Pei Yan immediately figured it out.

"Thank you, uncle." Pei Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief and said: "This time the king of Nanchang and Li Jingye fought the method, and the little nephew also suffered some unwarranted disasters. ”

"That's not a bad thing." Pei Guangxiao looked at Pei Yan calmly and said, "This at least proves that the Criminal Department is not your Yiyantang, and you are not so anxious to do something over there." ”

"Over there?" Pei Yan was a little confused for a moment, but then he suddenly came over and arched his hand: "What my uncle said is reasonable, this is indeed not a bad thing." ”

The prince's situation is critical now, and it seems that everyone can go up and push it.

But in fact, the really smart people hide far away, because everyone knows that once the prince falls, the last person to push will inevitably bear a huge backlash.

This person was probably Li Xuan, but if Pei Yan didn't handle the current matter well, this person would become him.

After all, some time ago, the relationship between Pei Yan and the crown prince was quite bad.

"After Zilong returns, he will immediately investigate everything behind this, and he will definitely not let the traitor's conspiracy succeed." Pei Yan arched his hand and bowed deeply.

Pei Guangxiao walked over, helped Pei Yan up, and said: "In this matter, if you should retreat, you should retreat, this kind of credit is not needed." ”

"Yes!" Pei Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He knew that Pei Guangxiao said this at this time, which meant that the middle family was already supporting him.

Now everyone knows that the crown prince's position is unstable, but he can't easily get involved in it, after all, it is the emperor's own son.

One accidentally, the emperor took revenge, and more people died than anywhere.

At this time, the family has communicated with each other, and what should be given up is abandoned, and what should be reinvested is reinvested......

There's a lot of learning here.

However, this matter has little to do with the Pei family, because the Pei family does not invest much in Li Xian, and what they really invest in is to honor Emperor Li Hong.

The daughter of the Pei family is even Li Hong's crown princess.

……

"By the way, why did my uncle get here today?" Pei Yan suddenly frowned, and looked at Pei Guangxiao in some surprise.

Even if he has something to do now, Pei Guangxiao comes to support him, but it doesn't mean that the two of them discuss these things on the street, which can also show that Pei Guangxiao also has something.

"Summoned by the Queen of Heaven." Pei Guangxiao's eyes raised and looked at the Daming Palace in the distance.

"What?" Pei Yan's expression became solemn, at this time, it is not a trivial matter for the queen of heaven to summon Pei Guangxiao.

To put it mildly, Pei Guangxiao is now one of the only three officials in the Pei family who are above the third rank in the center.

To put it mildly, Pei Guangxiao is the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, managing the affairs of the royal family, and the abolition of the crown prince is also a royal affair.

"Don't think about it, it's Tong'er's business." Pei Guangxiao shook his head slightly, his expression gloomy.

"Tong'er?" Pei Yan frowned, and instantly remembered: "Uncle is talking about Shitong." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Guangxiao nodded and said, "The queen of heaven has an edict to give Tong'er a marriage." ”

"Marriage?" Pei Yan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked puzzledly: "Tong'er has just completed three years of filial piety now, and she is still in Luoyang, how can she say that she will give marriage, is it the King of England, or the King of Xiang, or some other clan?" ”

Pei Yan looked puzzled.

Although Pei Shitong has the title of Guangping County Jun, her father Pei Qizhe is just a former Luoyang County Lieutenant.

Although she is also a descendant of the Pei family, she is on the edge after all, why did the queen choose her directly?

"It's the king of Nanchang." Pei Guangxiao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The case of Qi Zhe was solved by the King of Nanchang back then, and Tong'er said that if the King of Nanchang could help her take revenge, then she would marry the King of Nanchang."

However, at that time, the king of Nanchang refused on the grounds that Tong'er was young, but now, Tong'er's three-year filial piety period has expired, and she is older. ”

"How did the queen know about this?" Pei Yan keenly grasped the key point.

"Since May, several families have come to propose marriage, but all of them have been rejected by Tong'er, and she also told people about the three-year appointment with the king of Nanchang, and I don't know how the queen of heaven knew." Pei Guangxiao's expression calmed down, and all kinds of signs of Pei Shitong showed that she was not the king of Nanchang and would not marry, what could Pei Guangxiao do.

Originally, seeing that the king of Nanchang was usually not in Beijing and had no contact with his family, Pei Guangxiao wanted to wait for a while, but he never thought that the queen of heaven would give marriage.

"That's not right!" Pei Yan looked at Pei Guangxiao keenly and said, "Uncle, this matter is not right, even if the Queen of Heaven wants to give marriage, it shouldn't be at this time, and it shouldn't be the king of Nanchang?" ”

"The queen of heaven is actually doing the right thing, and now is the most appropriate time." Pei Guangxiao shook his head slightly, and glanced towards the East Palace.

Pei Yan immediately caught Pei Guangxiao's eyes, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

The king of Nanchang now has a wife, and Shitong is just a side concubine in the past, not too heavy, but not light.

Speaking of which, the main concubine of the king of Nanchang, as well as the two side concubines, were all given by the queen of heaven to marry, and this kind of grace is really good, which is a bit excessive.

The king of Nanchang is not the heir of the queen of heaven, so it is too ...... to win over him No, it's not wooing the king of Nanchang, it's wooing the king of England.

Or more accurately, the queen is paving the way for the British king.

The king of Nanchang himself was born in the Li family, and when he was a dynasty clan, he had always had a close relationship with the Wang family and the Cui family, and now he sent the Pei family over.

Among the five surnames and seven families, only the Lu family has a close relationship with the king of Nanchang.

Now, as long as the king of Nanchang tries his best to support the king, then the Wang family, the Cui family, the Pei family, and the small families below them will all support the king.

The family network on the prince's side will soon be transferred to the British king.

In this way, the turmoil of the situation will be extremely calm.

As for why he didn't marry Shitong directly to the King of England, I am afraid that this is because there are already many people from the British family around him.

The Wei family, the Dou family, the Zhao family, and the Liu family all have many children by Li Xian's side.

If the five surnames and seven families are also pushed over, then the British king will inevitably be difficult to control in the future.

With the king of Nanchang, this relationship can be balanced.

Even in the future, as long as the king of Nanchang is defeated, the support around the king will be much less.

"You're thinking wrong." Pei Yan subconsciously raised his head, and saw Pei Guangxiao shaking his head lightly, and said: "What the Queen of Heaven did was not for the king, but for the prince, think about it carefully...... Well, it's time for Uncle to go, and I can't let the queen wait for a long time. ”

"Yes!" Pei Yan immediately gave up, then took a step back, watching Pei Guangxiao leave like this.

……

Pei Yan turned to look at the East Palace, his brows furrowed, how could the queen of heaven marry the king of Nanchang, how could she become the prince.

Isn't the king of Nanchang now finding out about Chongyan, once the matter involves the prince, the prince is immediately in danger of being deposed......

Pei Yan suddenly understood that all that the queen of heaven is doing now is for herself.

She is showing the world that she has no intention of abolishing the prince.

At least, she won't depose the crown prince in this matter.

To be precise, the queen of heaven is ending up with the abolition of the prince in the future.

……

At this time, a galloping horse suddenly appeared in Pei Yan's field of vision.

The Qianniu Wei on the horse carried the holy decree on his back, and quickly rushed to the Vermilion Bird Gate and rushed to Luoyang.

Pei Yan's face rose and he sneered.

The matter in Luoyang is not so easy to end.

In Luoyang, Chang'an, most of the 100,000 Turks want to return to the grassland.

King Nanchang, what are you going to do.

The whole court is watching.
