When it came to the relationship between in-laws, the eldest prince's complexion immediately changed.

At this time, he really should avoid suspicion, but if he really gave up such a good opportunity to make a name for himself directly to Pei Yao, he would naturally be unwilling.

So he immediately cast a look of help to his maternal grandfather, Li Mu, the prime minister of Zuo.

Li Mu, the old fox, naturally understood in an instant and immediately began to remedy it.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu is indeed reasonable, but as the eldest prince said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the prince, is really dangerous to tour the south alone, His Royal Highness is young, and he has less experience in the end, if this kind of major matter is not handled properly, there will be accidents, so the minister thinks that even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to the south tour in person, he should send a few more capable people to accompany him."

These words obviously also fit Emperor Jing's intentions, so he immediately nodded.

"Well, this matter really can't be underestimated, although Yao'er has always been steady, but she is still younger, and I don't feel at ease when I travel so far."

Pei Yao had expected him to say this, so at this time, he immediately made a move to retreat into advance.

"Uncle Huang is concerned, and the sons understand in their hearts, but the sons and daughters are the princes, and they should share the worries of the emperor's uncle, and it is precisely because they are young that they need more experience, so that they can better serve the emperor in the future and do things for the people of Daqi.

As soon as he said this, it would be bad for Emperor Chengjing to say that he was not allowed to go.

Moreover, Pei Yao has already taken the initiative to bow his head, if the eldest prince's faction has a good brain, he should quickly accept it when he sees it.

After all, this case, the officials have been pushed to the cusp, and if they want to keep the officials in their hands, they should be people with some tails between them.

As for taking the minister with him, Pei Yao is not afraid.

What he did would be affected by the life of the monarch outside, the emperor was far away, and when he went out, it was he, the half-monarch, who had the final say, and it was not the turn of those courtiers to interfere in what he wanted to do.

You can't suppress people now, let alone in the future.

After he finished speaking, Li Mu and the eldest prince exchanged glances, and then Li Mu responded.

But this matter will not make them so comfortable, after all, the initiative is in Pei Yao's hands, so Lu Chuan stood up at the right time.

It was pointed out that the matter of determining the candidates for the accompanying ministers needed to be carefully considered, and it was better to leave it to the cabinet to discuss together, draw up a list, and then let Emperor Chengjing decide.

He was reasonable, and Emperor Chengjing couldn't refute it, so he responded.

In this way, it can be regarded as breaking Li Mu's arbitrariness and finalizing the intention of the entourage of the Southern Tour.

After coming out of the imperial study, the faces of the eldest prince and others were not very good-looking.

"Isn't Zecheng going out of the palace?" Pei Yao said softly to the eldest prince.

The latter turned around, pulled out a smile, and arched his hand.

"I haven't asked my mother for many days, but I entered the palace today and prepared to accompany my mother for lunch."

"Then you go quickly, I think the imperial aunt will be happy to see you."

Pei Yao smiled, made a gentle brother appearance, and waved his hand.

The eldest prince nodded, and then went in the direction of the harem.

At this time, Lu Chuan walked to Pei Yao's side, and after the two exchanged eyes, they went out of the palace together.

On the quiet palace road, Weng and his son-in-law stood side by side.

Pei Yao said lightly, "Where is Xu Bohan now?" ”

"The minister has a house on the outskirts of Beijing, and someone has been sent to take care of him, so nothing will happen." Lu Chuan said, and asked, "I'm afraid it won't go well when I go on a southern tour, the matter has not been decided for a day, and His Highness needs to be cautious." ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Yue, I know in my heart, today the eldest prince went to ask the queen for peace, I'm afraid he will go to ask for ideas." Pei Yao's eyes narrowed.

The eldest prince is not difficult to deal with, although he is also smart, but he is not as insidious and cunning as the queen Li, and the battles between him and the eldest prince over the years have mostly been made by the Li family and the Li family behind the scenes for the eldest prince.

"The harem can't interfere in politics, the queen's hand is really stretched too long, if it is really the prince in the future... I'm afraid that something will happen to the chicken. Lu Chuan frowned.

Pei Yao chuckled, "Their mother and son have a deep relationship and rely on each other, and they will be cold in the future." ”

The stronger the eldest prince's dependence on the queen, as long as the queen is overthrown in the future, the eldest prince will not become.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan's brows stretched slightly, and then nodded.

As Pei Yao expected, the eldest prince went to the harem to ask the queen for peace, and sure enough, he went to ask for advice.

The next day, the queen invited Emperor Chengjing to her palace for lunch.

First, he made some remarks, reprimanding the officials for not doing things well, causing this kind of scandal, and blocking Emperor Chengjing, and then said that although the matter was caused by the officials not doing things carefully, Liu Minghe, as the secretary of the ministry, did not necessarily hand over all the things to him, and the negligence of the people below was unknown.

flattered and comforted Emperor Chengjing, saying that he had every opportunity, and it was normal that this kind of thing was not discovered, as long as it was dealt with.

This Emperor Chengjing was originally a man who didn't have much ability, and he relied on the cabinet for government affairs in the ordinary court, and occasionally listened to the queen give him advice, so he habitually asked again.

The queen took the opportunity to persuade and successfully stuffed the eldest prince into the personnel of this southern tour, and also proposed that the prince was delicate and noble, and no one could serve him.

In this way, he pushed out the two young and neat palace maids in his palace again.

So the next day, Emperor Chengjing arranged things according to what the queen said.

It's just a matter of letting the eldest prince tour the south together, this stuffs a maid for him to serve, obviously to send a slave, and secretly sends a woman to his bed, not to mention whether it is eyeliner, this is not good.

Pei Yao naturally refused.

But Emperor Chengjing has been sitting on this dragon chair for many years, and it is not useless, there is the queen's on-demand, plus the cooperation of other courtiers, Pei Yao, who said a few words, was pressed by a filial piety word and could not refuse.

But the queen's people still can't ask for it, even if they want to bring women, they have to bring someone who knows the roots, so he proposed to bring two sensible people from the backyard, and it is still inconvenient for him to use the people who serve the emperor's aunt.

Emperor Chengjing didn't want to force him too tightly, so he had to take a step back and agree.

It's just that which two to take with this southern tour is also a matter to be carefully considered.

The status is high, so it is naturally inconvenient to go out with it, and this accompanying party is playing a signboard with the word "waiting".

If she is too dishonest to ask for it, after all, she has to do something when she goes out, not to take someone to find something for her.

It's not okay to be stupid, if someone uses it as a gun, or if you talk about it, you will hit yourself in the foot.

After thinking about it, Pei Yao finally decided to take Fang Yu and Zhou Shuren with him.

They are all well-behaved and sensible, not to mention, this Fang Yu's identity is special, and he can't say that he can still use it.

After returning to the East Palace and discussing with the crown princess, the crown princess spread the matter to the ears of everyone in the backyard.

All of a sudden, the backyard exploded.

Don't talk about it, this He Liangdi is the first to do it.

She is also a powerful person, so she went directly to the front yard to find Pei Yao.

But I don't know how Pei Yao coaxed him, He Liangdi went in a hurry, and came back quietly, probably appeased.

But after he came back, he called Zhou Shuren to his courtyard, and I heard that it was a good order.

However, Fang Yu didn't care about these, what she cared about now was what role she was going to play when she followed Pei Yao to the southern tour this time.
