Pei Shangyu took sick leave, stayed at home all day, and did not return to his prime minister's mansion, but stayed at the house in Lihua Lane, what was even more annoying was that if he was in the study, Cheng Yiwan would have to follow him.

grinding, washing the pen, serving him, and simply leaving all the work of the scholar to her.

This time I was reluctantly grinding, and I saw Cui Guo walk in, first looking at her, and then at Pei Shangyu.

The man didn't raise his head, just wrote something, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, Madame is not an outsider." ”

When he said this, Cheng Yiwan couldn't wait to be his outsider, she stopped her movements and said, "I'd better go out." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Pei Shangyu to return to her, and left here.

Pei Shangyu put down the pen in his hand and sat down, and motioned to Cui Guo with his chin to say.

"The mountain bandits who broke the temple that day were instructed by Sha Yuezhu, but there is another force involved."

After listening to Cui Guo's words, Pei Shangyu folded his legs and pointed his fingers on his legs, but it was the same as he guessed, Zuodu Yushi died, and the Sha family fell, although Sha Yuezhu has now made a concubine for King Jing.

However, if the imperial history of Zuodu is still there, maybe King Jing will still look at the imperial history of Zuodu and treat Sha Yuezhu better.

"The concubine is restless, so let King Jing spend some effort on training, if the training is not good, send it to the Teaching Workshop Division, and naturally someone will help King Jing train well."

Cui Guo nodded in response: "But do you want your subordinates to continue to stare at the movements of that group of people?" ”

That group of people was referring to the big family who were mixed with the mountain bandits, and they saw the corners of Pei Shangyu's lips hooked up and sneered: "Didn't Your Majesty just become pro-government?" Recently, mountain bandits have been rampant in the suburbs of the capital, and it must be a headache to think of His Majesty. ”

Leave this mess to Xiao Heting to deal with, hasn't he always wanted to do it himself? Then leave it to him to do it, and see how he handles it.

It is said that it is good to be an emperor, but no one knows how difficult it is to be an emperor, especially the relationship between the former dynasty and the harem, the family and the nouveau riche.

The concubines of the harem are from extraordinary backgrounds, and the emperor's favor is related to the status of this family in the previous dynasty, and the family's exploits in the previous dynasty also affect how much favor they can get.

Besides, between this family and the nouveau riche, the prosperity of a dynasty is inseparable from the people, and it is inseparable from these century-old families that have survived since the founding of the country.

The imperial court selected the poor through the imperial examination, and these clear streams promoted naturally had to share some of the status of the big families, and it was difficult to achieve a balance between the families and the nouveau riche throughout the ages.

Pei Shangyu is famous, so no one dares to make a mistake in the court, but if it is replaced by Xiao Heting, it will be different.

On the first day of going to court after Xiu Mu, everyone found that Pei Xiang was not there, but the little emperor on the throne seemed to be a little happy, so those people's minds began to come alive again.

These old ministers are shrewd one by one, they are all old fritters who have been immersed in officialdom for decades, and in this early dynasty today, Xiao Heting was almost peeled off by them.

But of course, this is not under Pei Shangyu's control, after all, the current prime minister is infected with the wind and cold and needs to recuperate.

After going down, Xiao Heting, who returned to the Sizheng Palace, swept away the things on the table: "I'm so angry, these old ministers, can't I really see their thoughts?" One by two, they are all thinking about calculating. ”

"It's hateful!"

Guan Chun saw him so angry, hurriedly stepped forward to be relieved, and as she spoke, she saw Lan Xueyi walk in, she looked at Xiao Heting and said with a smile: "What? Who made His Majesty so angry? ”

Xiao Heting gasped heavily, and stepped forward to support Lan Xueyi: "Queen Mother." ”

He is still very respectful to Lan Xueyi, after all, Lan Xueyi brought him up, and when his regime was unstable, he chose Pei Shangyu to help him, she has been thinking about Xiao Heting, but unfortunately, none of them expected that Pei Shangyu would grow into what he is today.

It controls everything in the Southern Dynasties and tightly curbs their lifeblood.

"It's the incompetence of the sons and daughters that disappointed the queen mother."

Listening to Xiao Heting's words, Lan Xueyi picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea: "Now you should know how important it is to have Pei Shangyu in the court." ”

Although I don't want to admit it, what Lan Xueyi said is indeed right, after all, those old ministers couldn't say a word when they saw Pei Shangyu.

"Do you think Pei Shangyu really wants to give you power? It's just that I want you to realize for yourself that even if this right is given to you, you can't use it well, and it can also let you see clearly how important he Pei Shangyu is. ”

"You and I both know that Pei Shangyu is a clerk next to the first emperor, will the first emperor be so shrewd that he can't see Pei Shangyu's ambition? Do you guess why Your Majesty knows that Pei Shangyu is talented, but he never refuses to entrust him to reuse? ”

After Lan Xueyi finished saying this, she paused, Xiao Heting looked at her and replied, "Is it because my father knows Pei Shangyu's ambitions?" ”

"Yes, the first emperor was suspicious by nature, so he naturally refused to let an ambitious person like him be in a high position, otherwise he wouldn't know if the Southern Dynasty would change hands one day, hey, the queen mother was also a ghost at the beginning, knowing that this Pei Shangyu was a dormant wolf, but she still easily gave him the right."

"The queen mother has an unshirkable responsibility for causing this situation."

I saw Lan Xueyi bowing her head and sighing, but when they were orphans and widows, in that situation, the only one who could help them was Pei Shangyu.

And Pei Shangyu did keep his promise to help Ting'er eliminate the court and eradicate dissidents, from a certain point of view, Pei Shangyu is also Ting'er's help.

"Ting'er, you have to remember that now you still need Pei Shangyu's help, don't fight with him in the future, when you are full-fledged, it will be when you are really in power."

Lan Xueyi patted Xiao Heting on the shoulder and said, they still need Pei Shangyu now, everything will follow him, and when the pavilion grows up, it will be the time for them to get rid of Pei Shangyu.

"Sons remember the teachings of the queen mother."

Xiao Heting nodded, what the queen mother said was very polite, he listened to the queen mother.

"By the way, Ting'er, the queen mother heard that Pei Xiang brought back a woman from Jiangdu, and on the day of the ceremony, it is better to let Pei Xiang bring it with him, if you can enter Pei Xiang's eyes, presumably Pei Xiang must be very fond of it, if this woman is Pei Xiang's weakness, you will be able to take care of it in the future."

Lan Xueyi said with a smile, she really wanted to know who this woman who could make Pei Shangyu, who had never been close to women, fall in love with her, and who had traveled thousands of miles to bring back from Jiangdu, where was the sacredness and what kind of charm she had.

...

At this time, Cheng Yiwan, who was feeding the fish in the pavilion, listened to Hualuo's words in a low voice, and looked up in surprise: "It turns out that Pei Shangyu used to be the clerk next to the first emperor, and he was supported by the queen mother. ”

"Yes, there are still some affairs about the Queen Mother and the adults in the palace, but those are just rumors."

After Cheng Yiwan returned to the house that day, he asked Hualuo to investigate the matter of the northern proton, but he didn't expect to find out some things about Pei Shangyu when he didn't become prime minister.

These things are only said by some old people in the palace, and they don't dare to be blatant, after all, if they fall into Pei Shangyu's ears, they will die.
