When I walked in, I found that those Taoist children who usually work everywhere did not appear today. The entire Taoist temple was as quiet as if they were in seclusion and practicing. I walked to the room where the Supreme Emperor was resting, and Eunuch Yu asked for instructions inside.
"Let her come in."
What came out was Pei Yuanhao's voice.
Eunuch Yu pushed open the door, I walked in, and then the door closed behind me.
The room was exactly the same as when I came before, and there was no difference between the flames of candles on the shelves on both sides. I just didn’t know how long it took for the door to be opened. The room seemed a little hot and a little stuffy. As soon as I stood there, I felt sweaty.
Pei Ji was still sitting on the head of the bed just like before.
Pei Yuanhao sat on the edge of the bed in a straight manner.
Both of them turned their heads and looked at me at the same time. I walked forward and saluted respectfully. When I lowered my head, I saw a pool of wet on the ground, as if something had fallen to the ground and splashed. When I looked again, there was a piece of teacup on the corner of the wall, which probably had not been cleaned up in a hurry.
Suddenly, I realized it.
I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although both of them looked very calm at this moment, Pei Yuanhao turned his head and looked at me, stared at the corner of my eyes, and asked me: "Why, I didn't sleep well last night?"
“…”
I didn't expect him to ask me this first. I subconsciously glanced at Pei Ji, and there was a deep tired look on his face. Maybe he had said too much before and was a little tired. At this moment, he was half-squinting his eyes to rest. Then I said, "Men's girls are a little bit recognizable and are not used to it."
"Do you want someone to redesign it for you?"
“No need.”
Although I don’t care what others think of me or where I live, it doesn’t mean I’m willing to make things known to everyone.
Pei Yuanhao probably knew my thoughts, so he didn't force me, so he just nodded slightly.
Then I asked, "I don't know what instructions the emperor has to summon the daughter of the people."
Pei Yuanhao said: "You told me yesterday that you want to go back to Xichuan?"
I was in a state of striking spirit.
I thought he would keep dragging on that matter, but I didn't expect that when I came today, I was surprised and nodded quickly: "Yes."
"What are you going back to Xichuan?"
"I have some things at home, and my brother asked me to go back and discuss with him. In addition-" I glanced at him and said honestly: "If you can find out the reason for the things you have worried about before, I think there are good things for both the country and the people."
His face sank for no reason.
He knew that I was referring to Liu Qinghan.
His handwriting was sent to Xichuan before, but was sent back by Liu Qinghan intact. This matter has always been a mystery in our hearts, especially to me - why did Liu Qinghan suddenly turn against others? I want to know about this matter, even if it is not for the country and the people.
Just as he was calm, Pei Ji, who had been silent next to him, spoke: "What you are talking about is the Minister of Revenue before?"
Pei Yuanhao let out a deep "hmm".
"That Liu Qinghan?"
"Um."
Pei Ji turned his head and looked at me, his eyes flashed a few times, but he didn't say anything, closed his lips again, and continued to close his eyes to rest.
I stood in the middle of the room and felt a little frustrated before I knew it. Pei Yuanhao didn't speak after asking that. Whether he agreed or what he was thinking, I didn't know at all, so I could only wait for him to speak to decide.
After a long time, I heard him take a deep breath and say, "I'm going to let you."
When I heard this, I looked at him in surprise: "Really?"
"You have no jokes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
I was about to salute and thank him, but he looked calm and said coldly: "But you have to wait for a while."
"……Why?"
"The rebels just had such a fight. Do they still have any remnants around the capital? I am currently sending people to search. Now all the important letters to be sent to various places have been suppressed, let alone you?"
“…”
This means comparing me to a "important letter"?
I didn't say anything, and he continued, "Also, I just have to wait for the Supreme Emperor to recover."
“…”
I was stunned for a moment, raised my head and looked at him, and looked at Pei Ji again: "The emperor means—"
Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, but Pei Ji slowly opened his eyes and said, "I will go with you."
“…”
I was a little stunned at this moment.
The Supreme Emperor will go with me?
Why do you need this?
Looking at my completely unknown appearance, Pei Yuanhao said slowly: "After such a quarrel between the Yuan family and the Lin family in the capital, the matter can no longer be covered up. From at least one month to three months, they will inevitably join forces to rebellion."
I immediately breathed tightly: "Your Majesty means-"
"This war is inevitable."
“…”
I couldn't speak at all.
Back then, Fu Badai advised him that there would be no major wars in the border within fifteen years. He had told me before that he must survive this year with the emperor, but unexpectedly, things were unpredictable. The war did not ignite at the border, but instead ignited within the Central Plains. The emperor and I wanted to survive this year, but Pei Yuanhao fainted, and the impulse of these people pushed the matter to a situation where we could not turn back.
I asked, "What is the Supreme Emperor doing?"
Pei Yuanhao said: "Lin Sheng and Yuan Mingde escaped, and knew that they were extremely guilty and must be desperate. But Gongsun Qi was already dead, and his old father—"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then Pei Ji slowly said: "Gongsun Shu, once Gu, was Gu's subordinate. Gu knew that even if he died, he would not do such a rebellion. According to the emperor, his situation was similar to Gu's before, so he let his unfilial son get involved in Confucius and put their entire Gongsun family in a place of irreparable consequences."
His words were naturally Gongsun Qi, but Pei Yuanhao was next to him and his face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Pei Ji narrowed his eyes, as if he was not looking at him, and said to me: "If the three families of them rebelled at the same time, it would not be a good thing for the capital, but if the people of the Gongsun family could not be trapped in the mud, the situation would be a little different."
I said, "Is the Supreme Emperor going to go to the Duke of Jin in person to convince Gongsun Shu?"
He nodded.
...
Although I didn't hear what the father and son had talked about for so long, I now know that Pei Ji had figured out every major event that happened in the past ten years of his sleep. Even Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanhao told him.
