Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 318 Both Are Dead Ends
"Why don't you cooperate with Dayan Tang!"

As soon as the words fell, Pei Xiu kicked Li Yi out suddenly, and the place where Li Yi hit was flying dust in the yard.

Li Yi struggled to get up from the ground, and was kicked one after another. Li Yi's face was a bit ugly, but he still said cautiously, "Master Xiang, it's either King Jiangdong or Dayantang. Master Xiang has to choose one to cooperate with. The queen must not think of us." If you can find an ally, maybe you will be able to win by surprise."

"Da Yan Tang is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he wants to overthrow Da Zhou. Don't even think about it!"

Pei Xiu said coldly.

Li Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, Master Xiang has to change the name of the country when he becomes the emperor. By then, Dazhou will no longer be Dazhou, and the world will undergo earth-shaking changes. Why should Master Xiang treat Dazhou like this?" Loyal?"

Pei Xiu was stunned, yes, if he ascended the throne as the emperor, the country's name would have to be changed, so why should he be obsessed with Da Zhou?
Is it because of being loyal to Da Zhou?No!

Seeing that Pei Xiu fell into silence, Li Yi and Mr. He looked at each other. Mr. He took a step forward and said tentatively, "If Xiangye really doesn't want to have anything to do with Dayan Hall, King Jiangdong is not bad..."

"You go back first!"

"Master Xiang..."

"Get out!"

Pei Xiu's voice suddenly rose, and Li Yi and Mr. He had to retreat.

Until they left the Prime Minister's mansion, both of them were full of worries. Master He came over and asked in a low voice, "Master Li, what do you think the Prime Minister thinks?"

"No matter what Xiangye thinks, he won't just watch Pei's house being ransacked."

As Li Yi said, he jumped on the horse and rode away. Mr. He stood at the gate of Xiangfu for a while, and then got on the sedan chair.

In the prime minister's mansion, Pei Xiu had been sitting blankly in the study, Pei Zhong thought for a while, and brought in a cup of strong tea, "Master Xiang, freshly brewed Biluochun."

"Let it go."

Pei Xiu said indifferently, Pei Zhong was about to leave when Pei Xiu stopped him, "Pei Zhong, you have followed the truth for many years, what do you think the truth should do?"

"Excuse me for my presumptuous words. It's not what Xiangye should do, but what else Xiangye can do. Both paths are dead, and we just want to see which path is less miserable and whether there is a chance of survival. .”

Pei Xiu raised his head abruptly, staring at Pei Zhong with sharp eyes. Pei Zhong lowered his eyes and stood respectfully, letting him stare.

After a while, Pei Xiu looked away and sighed, "I see."

Pei Zhong also let out a long sigh. If Pei Xiang fell, as Pei Xiang's confidant, he had done so many things for him and knew so many secrets, so he would not be able to escape death.

The master and servant sighed face to face, and each sound was heavier than the other. In the end, Pei Zhong said quietly, "Unless something important happens now and turns His Majesty's eyes away, so that His Majesty has no time to take care of the Prime Minister, or His Majesty still needs the Prime Minister, Need Pei Party..."

Pei Xiu's eyes lit up, and suddenly he thought of something, and the light in his eyes dimmed again, "I have committed a serious crime of treason, and it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans. .”

He said with a long sigh, "Forget it, the winner is the king and the loser, it's useless to think too much, you should step back first."

Pei Zhong wanted to stay with his master for a while longer, but Pei Xiu waved his hand weakly, signaling him to back off, so Pei Zhong had no choice but to back off. The moment he closed the door of the study, Pei Zhong saw his master's figure was a little dark, The whole person was devastated.

After four assassinations of generals happened in a row, people were panicked, and every house closed their doors, fearing that something bad might happen to them.

However, what is surprising is that things seemed to calm down suddenly. For the next few days, nothing happened, and the imperial capital was peaceful.

Even the frontier was peaceful. The Xiongnu harassed the frontier every now and then, but for half a month, the cavalry of the Huns never showed up. This seemed a bit abnormal. Zhong Mo sent spies to investigate deeply, but found nothing. Things are business as usual for the Huns.

The entire Great Week is also peaceful, but the calmer it is, the more people feel that there is a huge vortex hidden under the calm. When the curtain of calm is lifted, the vortex under the water surface will set off a stormy wave and swallow everything.

Thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, there are willow branches on the moon, and people make an appointment after dusk.

Just on the fifteenth day, a bright moon like a disc hangs in the sky and is reflected in the Suzhou River. There is a moon in the sky and a moon in the water, reflecting each other brightly.

On the Suzhou River, in the most exquisite and elegant painting boat, Feng Jin dressed up as a nobleman, lazily leaning on the small couch, squinting slightly to listen to the singer playing the pipa and singing, tapping the small table with her fingers, To the beat.

"Ajin, it's time to go back."

Wuming whispered in her ear, Feng Jin slowly opened his eyes, and smiled softly, "I won't go back! It's too boring to go back."

Feng Jin did not charter this boat, there were several guests in the boat, all of them were handsome young scholars. After listening to Feng Jin's words, he smiled and echoed, "Young Master Feng is very true, the spring is infinitely good, don't worry." Don’t be disappointed.”

These people didn't know Feng Jin's real identity. She deliberately lowered her voice, and she exuded an aura of nobility and alienation. Coupled with her deliberate attire, these people only regarded her as a noble son who came from the imperial capital to have fun.

Wuming followed her all the time, like a guard, and more intimate than a guard. People on the Suzhou River thought that Feng Jin was better than Long Yang. There were a few guests who had this hobby, and wanted to get close to Feng Jin by licking their faces, but Wuming Kicked down the Suzhou Creek.

Since then, everyone has known that although Mr. Feng is handsome and suave, the guards around him are not easy to mess with, and they all give up their minds, but drinking and having fun together is still unavoidable.

Feng Jin didn't put on airs either. Although she didn't drink very well, she gave them some face. With her deliberately approaching, she drank three glasses or two. pour out.

There are some things that Shen Wenqing will not tell her, and the hidden guards can't find anything too deep. The Jiangnan gentry is a very strong iron barrel. Under the leadership of the Shen family, it can be said that it is an iron wall and no one can invade.

Emperors are suspicious, and Feng Jin is no exception.

The Jiangnan gentry was led by the Shen family, and the Shen family was dominated by Shen Wenqing. Her control over the Jiangnan gentry was entirely dependent on Shen Wenqing's loyalty, which made Feng Jin feel uneasy.

Loyalty is not entirely reliable.

Therefore, Feng Jin would come out to drink and have fun from time to time, obviously because she was recuperating and bored in Qingluan Hospital, but in fact, she wanted to hear some different voices.

She doesn't want the Jiangnan gentry to be too stable, just like Pei Dang, too stable is not a good thing for her.

She hoped that the Jiangnan gentry would be used by her, and there were internal conflicts among them that could be used. In this way, even if the Jiangnan gentry rebelled in the future, she would be able to separate them and make them disintegrate.

It can be said that you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

"Do you know? The Gu family wanted to marry the Li family, but the Li family rejected it."

A son's words caught Feng Jin's attention, and she curled her lips into a smile, "The Gu family? The Li family? What is it?"

"Young Master Feng probably doesn't know, the Gu family and the Li family are big families in the Jiangnan gentry."

This person is as good as Long Yang, and he had been coveting Feng Jin before, and when he heard Feng Jin's question, he couldn't stop explaining.

"I'm new here, and I don't know anything about Jiangnan, Mr. Tang, please tell me."

Feng Jin said with a smile, seeing her smiling brightly, Mr. Tang was even more beautiful than the night in Suzhou Creek, and he was fascinated by it. He quickly said, "The noble families in the south of the Yangtze River, headed by the Shen family, the first of the Gu family Second, the Li family is third. The Gu family has a daughter who is a concubine. She is sixteen years old and is at the age for marriage proposals. The Li family has a son who is eighteen years old and is also the age for marriage proposals. The Gu family has been hesitant to propose marriage to the Gu family, because although the young master has good character and talent, but he is a concubine, the Gu family did not refuse or agree, it seems that they want to wait and see for a while."

"This time, didn't Shen Wenqing marry the daughter of a side branch of the Li family? Shen Wenqing became a third-rank censor at a young age, and won the favor of Her Majesty the Empress. The future is limitless. The prestige of the Li family suddenly rose, and the momentum quickly exceeded The Gu family, the Gu family finally made up their minds, and brought this matter up to the Li family, but the Li family refused without saying a word. This made the Gu family very angry. Marrying a concubine daughter to a concubine is a low marriage. If it weren't for Li Shirong's marriage For Shen Wenqing's sake, the Gu family would never agree, but the Gu family agreed, and the Li family's tail cocked."

"Then it will be fun to watch."

Feng Jin answered with a smile, and Mr. Tang also laughed, "That's right, now the Gu and Li families are making trouble at the Shen's house every day."
