Chapter 272: Bite back

study.

After listening to the secret guard's report, a sneer appeared on Pei Yao's lips.

After a moment, Hong Zheng was called in and he could hear his instructions lightly.

"I went to Yicui Pavilion to pass the message, and I went to Feng's place for dinner today."

"yes."

Hong Zheng responded and retreated silently.

Feng was very happy to receive the news and immediately prepared carefully. However, when Pei Yao came, she keenly realized that Pei Yao's expression was not very good.

So he asked softly while approaching the people.

"Why do you think your highness is in a bad mood today? Are you too busy with official business and tired?"

"The left is just a troublesome thing in the court." Pei Yao frowned and took a sip of tea. "This old guy Li Mu actually opposed me again. The court also wanted to use people. Could it be that the court's surname is Li, but he didn't want to be the one in the court.

!”

Hearing these words, Feng's drooping eyes suddenly flashed. She thought she was hiding it well, but in fact Pei Yao saw it clearly.

But Feng still pretended to be considerate and comforted him.

"Your Highness must not be angry. Lord Li is a minister, and Your Highness is a half-lord. The king is the leader of the minister. Naturally, he cannot oppose Your Highness. But I don't know who Your Highness wants to use, which has attracted Prime Minister Li to such an objection?"

Listening to Feng's intentional inquiry, Pei Yao sneered in his heart, but he still felt annoyed and said in a deep voice.

"The Minister of Revenue Chen Sui submitted a memorial at the end of last year, saying that he was sick and wanted to resign from his post and return home to recuperate. Now the position of the Minister of Revenue has been vacant. The Order Book has elected one person, but Li Xiang said he is opposed, but the Order Book is not really intended.

This person is right now, I want to see what they want to do.”

"I don't understand the affairs of the court, but the person you are interested in is definitely very good. I believe this adult must have made some achievements in the Kyoto court.

Pei Yao waved his hand, "He is now an official in another place and has not been recalled yet. However, I also sent someone to contact him secretly. There is already a solution. Forget it, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore, just have a meal."

Although Feng still wanted to get some information from others, Pei Yao refused to say more, and she couldn't ask questions again, so she seemed to be deliberate.

But for Feng, he has received useful news today.

Therefore, after lunch, Pei Yao was sent away, and she immediately secretly sent someone to contact Queen Li in the palace.

After obtaining this clue from Feng, Empress Li immediately ordered Li Xiang to check the authenticity.

Soon, Prime Minister Li found out that the foreign official Pei Yao had contacted recently was Lu Feng, the third uncle of the Crown Princess.

Moreover, Lu Feng has set off recently and is preparing to return to Beijing to visit relatives.

It is said that I was unable to return to Beijing during the New Year, and now I have only found time to go home and have a look.

Now is the time to compete for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Why is he going to leave his place of office and return to Kyoto and break into Emperor Chengjing's vision?

Although Emperor Chengjing naturally favored the eldest prince and was more inclined to use the people recommended by Prime Minister Li, nothing is absolutely true.

If Pei Yao had done his business properly, even Emperor Chengjing would not have to do anything to disobey the opinions of most ministers.

Although the person recommended by Pei Yao was a bit capable and had enough qualifications, he was born in a poor family and had a deep foundation, so he was not afraid of it, but Lu Feng was different.

The Lu family is a serious century-old family. In addition to Lu Chuan, three princes and tutors have been produced. Lu Feng himself is also extremely talented. He has been an official in other places for many years and has excellent political achievements.

Such people will naturally have a very advantageous position when competing, and can be said to be able to crush other people.

Losing the rule of a local prefecture and county will bring the rule of the treasury, which is not a loss.

It was precisely because of this investigation that Empress Li and others were convinced that the news from Feng was true. For them, since they could not take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible, they could only stop Lu Feng from returning.

Jing showed his face.

Otherwise, it would be even more unfavorable for them as soon as Lu Feng returned to Beijing.

Although the eldest prince was also worried about the position of Minister of Revenue at this time, he was more concerned about another matter.

His ceremony of title of kings will arrive in seven days.

The Ministry of Rites chose Ming for the eldest prince and the second prince respectively, and the two characters Dun were used as titles. Now the eldest prince should be called Ming Wang, while the second prince is Dun Wang.

It is said that it was chosen by the Ministry of Rites, but some people who have heard that this was chosen by Emperor Chengjing, which also shows his different treatment of his two sons.

The sun and the moon are brighter, and the pride is just a kind and sincere meaning.

In fact, the eldest prince did decide on the great plan to intercept Lu Feng for his bright future.

As long as Lu Feng is killed, he will not only stop him from returning to Beijing to compete for the position of Minister of Revenue, but also cut off Pei Yao's help, killing multiple kills in one fell swoop.

After thinking about it briefly, Prime Minister Li also thought that this method was feasible, so he started.

But after this, I fell a big drop.

When all the Lu family members who were officials in Kyoto all submitted a memorial to accuse Prime Minister Li of murdering the imperial court, Lu Feng, accompanied by his elder brother Lu Chuan, angrily scolded Prime Minister Li for his bold move.

The falcon was pecked in the eyes by an eagle all day long.

Li Mu, who had been in the officialdom for many years, did not expect that he would fall into such a trap.

Both the evidence and the physical evidence were there, and Pei Yao strongly supported the Lu family and put pressure on him to force Emperor Chengjing to deal with Li Mu.

For a moment, Emperor Chengjing had no choice but to temporarily dismiss Li Mu from his post and banned him.

For this matter, Empress Li knelt anxiously outside Emperor Chengjing's bedroom, taking off her hairpin to wait for punishment. The eldest prince tried his best to use his connections to plead for Li Mu.

But at this time, the imperial study room was filled with the memorial composes of Li Mu's other crimes in the court.

At this moment, Empress Li and others realized that perhaps Pei Yao’s biggest purpose this time was not to earn the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but to bring Li Mu down!

Li Mu may have a chance to turn things around if he touches others, but the Lu family is different. It is a family of officials with a deeper foundation than the Li family.

If Emperor Chengjing had not picked up a throne and Li's family had a queen, how could it be like this Li family?

Even if Emperor Chengjing wants to keep Li Mu now, it is impossible.

After all, Lu Feng "escape" from other places and returned to the capital, he had already spread the news that Li Mu sent someone to assassinate him.

The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, let alone Li Mu was just a minister?

Finally, after more than a month of stalemate, Emperor Chengjing still saved Li Mu's life, but sentenced Li Mu to exile in Lingnan. The other Li family members who served as officials in the court were demoted to one level.

Originally, except for Li Mu, there was no other Li family. If you drop like this, you would directly withdraw from the power center circle.

There is also Li Mu himself, who is very old, and if he goes exiled like this, he will most likely die on the road.

Such a result was undoubtedly unacceptable to Empress Li, and she fell ill immediately.

When the matter came to an end, when Pei Yao came to Biluozhai again, his face was clear.

"I didn't know that Your Highness had done such a big plan, I was really shocked!"

Fang Yoon smiled and pulled his hand into the room, while making a terrible statement.

This is not pretending. When Fang Xuan cooperated with the game, he didn't know so much. Now that I think about it, Pei Yao is still hiding something from her.

Pei Yao pinched her hand and curled her lips slightly.

"I don't know if I can do it, so I'm sure I'm more cautious. You're making a contribution this time. Tell me, what do you want?"

As soon as he asked, a little shame arose in Fang Yoon's beautiful eyes.

He waved his hand and walked away from the servant in the room before he whispered closer.

"I want a child of my own."

When Pei Yao said this, his face turned red and he raised his hand and coughed gently.

"I'll discuss this matter tonight."

"Why shouldn't it be more convenient to ask the imperial physician to take care of me at night and during the day?"

Fang Yoon blinked his eyes, looking innocent and puzzled.

Reasoning that the little woman did it on purpose, Pei Yao immediately didn't hold it tight, raised his hand and slapped Fang Yoon's buttocks.

Pretending to be angry, "How dare you tease the orphan!"
