Putting the blame on

The officials had different expressions, and some bold ones even murmured privately, "When did General Pei join the Second Prince's Party?"

"Who knows?"

Even the second prince himself was very surprised and was looking at Pei Mo expectantly.

The emperor felt that the annoyance in his chest was relieved all of a sudden, and his eyes filled with approval, "Do you really mean what Pei Aiqing said?"

"I dare not deceive the Emperor." Pei Mo's indifferent voice echoed in the hall.

Among a group of tall and tall generals, Pei Mo was not the tallest, but he was the most eye-catching. From a distance, one could see his tall and erect posture, just like the white birch and cypress trees on the border.

The emperor suddenly remembered that when Pei Mo was hunting in the early autumn of his first year as an official, the collective military attache came to a polo match. He rode a tall horse with a body that could not be said to be strong and broke through the burly bears like a wolf.

came out and led the team of new generals who were lagging behind to victory.

Just like now, he was standing, surrounded by tall and mighty generals, but the sharpness on his body was far more eye-catching than everyone present.

It is the hidden edge of the sword, the jade of the mountain, and the clear brilliance of the moon.

The emperor on the dragon throne unconsciously had more complicated feelings for Pei Mo.

Pei Mo's ears twitched slightly. After hearing this, he lowered his eyes, and there was a deep look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

The emperor waved his hand and praised Pei Mo repeatedly.

The emperor knew that he was wiping the second prince's butt, and did not care about the ministers' perfunctory attitude.

It is not a secret that the second prince's master is indeed addicted to the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy of the previous dynasty. What is known to many people is that now officials of all sizes are dubious and watch the development of the matter in silence.

"Keep your voice down, people will hear you!"

Just when everyone was quiet, the emperor finally spoke, "How dare you! How dare you instigate the prince to embezzle money for disaster relief? Come on, drag the master outside the palace and chop him down!"

Even though the second prince obtained the emperor's forgiveness in the royal study, he was still worried that he would not be able to convince the public, so he found his confidants to forge some things and put them in his master's house.

"Please tell me, father, I have indeed been deceived. My master complained to me a few days ago, saying that I like the calligraphy, painting and calligraphy of the previous dynasty, but those calligraphy and paintings are extremely valuable, and I cannot find them for my master.

I can’t bear the calligraphy and painting calligraphy from the previous dynasty, but I can’t bear to have the master tear down the east wall to repair the west wall and collect money to buy calligraphy and paintings, so I can only send some money to the master from time to time.”

It turned out that just after Pei Mo learned that the second prince was going to blame the master, a dusty sedan appeared at the back door of the general's palace, and the second prince, disguised as an ordinary person, visited the general's palace in person!

In this way, everyone will believe that he is innocent and was deceived by his master to become obsessed with money.

Pei Mo felt that this was not enough, and continued, "The second prince's embezzlement of money for disaster relief was not what the second prince wanted. This was all ordered by the second prince's master. The second prince was deceived by his master and listened to his slander. The second prince's mistake was in knowing people.

I’m not sure, please ask Your Majesty to use your discretion and listen to what the second prince has to say before making a decision.”

It turned out that as early as yesterday evening, the two of them had found out the movement of the second prince through a hidden line.

After saying that, the emperor patted the handle of the dragon chair and asked, "Do you still have any objections to this matter?"

"Okay! Excellent! You are worthy of being my general who governs the country!"

"Since you all have no objections, let's retreat from the court!"

The military attache hit the speaker's elbow hard, thinking that Pei Mo was still in front. People who practice martial arts have sensitive senses, and they don't know when they say bad things about others.

After the court came down, the civil and military officials talked even more unscrupulously.

"I'm just being obsessed this time. Father, I should never touch the disaster relief money. I know my mistake!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? General Pei doesn't care about these things. Isn't he getting together with the second prince?"

After dealing with the second prince's affairs, the emperor felt a little tired.

The two talked for a long time in the study. It turned out that the second prince told him all about his plan to frame the master, and wanted Pei Mo to cooperate with him and name the real culprit in the court who was embezzling money for disaster relief.

The personal eunuch beside the emperor thought to himself that if he were in the royal study at this moment, the emperor would probably pat Pei Mo on the shoulder and smile with joy on his face.

The member of the Second Prince's Party took the lead in speaking, and only a few sparse voices came from below, "Your Majesty understands everything clearly, and I admire you all."

The second prince spat out a long sentence like he was pouring beans. It was difficult for him to rack his brains to come up with such a painful plan.

The second prince knelt down with a plop and blurted out the script he had prepared in his mind.

This move was just a push-over. Since the second prince wanted to put the blame on his master, Pei Mo took the initiative and had his master arrested during the court session. He was tied up outside the palace.

"But a month ago, the master heard that "Spring River Painting Boat Picture" by the famous painter Huzhu Chuan of the previous dynasty was available, and wanted to spend money to buy it. However, the savings of the house were still less than a thousand taels. The master heard that

My son wanted to go to Cangzhou to provide relief, so I told him that the waterlogging in Cangzhou was not very serious. As long as he took out a little money from the disaster relief money, it would be enough to buy famous paintings without being discovered."

But in fact, the emperor executed the people so decisively that the master didn't even have a chance to go to the palace to defend himself, so he ended up in the world. If there was no protection for the second prince, the discerning ministers would not believe it.

Pei Mo said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "Report to the Emperor that this person is the master of His Highness the Second Highness. The rebellious minister has been tied up outside the palace by his subordinates so that the Emperor can summon him at any time."

A certain general behind Pei Mo said to the people around him.

No one made a sound, only the Minister of Civil Affairs took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty understands everything clearly, and I admire you!"

"General Pei is a military attache, why is he on the same camp as the second prince? Is he crazy?"

Fang Anren, who was standing further away from Pei Mo, breathed a sigh of relief. This incident finally came to an end.

The second prince had already reached this point, and Pei Mo couldn't refuse even if he didn't want to see him.

Not only that, even Pei Mo himself would perform meritorious deeds in front of the emperor. It was a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and the second prince was certain that Pei Mo would not refuse.

The emperor asked, "Pei Aiqing, please tell me which bold and rebellious minister dared to embezzle the people's disaster relief funds!"

"I'm afraid you've gotten used to the good life, aren't you looking for death?"

Although Fang Anren believed that Pei Mo had his reasons for doing this, he was still a little puzzled. Even if Pei Mo didn't tell the matter, the second prince would still have a way to escape from this matter innocently.

If you say it, the meaning will be different. If you say it, it will be equivalent to tacitly agreeing to stand in the camp of the second prince. This way, even if it seems to have made meritorious service in front of the emperor, it will not gain any real benefits.

They may even be targeted by people from other political parties.
