After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, Chang'an finally issued two edicts. One is for Li Xiujing to serve as the vanguard of the Shence Army, leading the Shence Army of 20,000 people on the right and Zhou Sui, Wang Baozhen, Wang You, and Cai Xilie to join together to fight against the three towns of Heshuo. When the father and son of the Tian family and their servants had the same idea, even if there were obstacles from the Zhongshu Ling and the Shangshu Ling, they still could not affect the edict when the authority of the three provinces was divided.

However, Chang'an did not directly order what to do to the three towns. On the one hand, he sent people to Weibo and Chengde to appease Tian and Li, and on the other hand, he sent people to Ziqing to dissuade them from becoming rebels. Although the three towns also received the envoys sent by Chang'an, they have not expressed anything yet.

There is a strong intention to threaten this.

Seeing the attitude of the three towns, Emperor Wei could no longer bear it. Immediately ordered Li Xiujing to lead the army to join the other four. And as the Youshence army is about to launch, the departments of the Ministry of household affairs are becoming more and more busy.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance looked down at the group of assistants who were chattering and calculating.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is the government office with real power, and is also responsible for the administration of state affairs. Whenever there is a war, we are very busy. If things were different in the past, it would be fine, just allocate some military spending at will first, and then tighten the military supply supply. The army will naturally have to retreat to Chang'an, and Zuozang will not be stretched thin. This is a good way to solve the dilemma.

However, after Pei Jiaoran entered the Household Department, he not only had a clear understanding of the situation, he even controlled half of the Household Department by treating others with leniency and being strict with himself. Previously, the entire household department was working hard for military spending. Now that she has temporarily left Beijing and served as the governor of Tongzhou to provide relief, her control has also weakened. This was a good time for him to seize the opportunity to regain control of the household department, but he couldn't figure out what His Majesty's attitude was at the moment. After all, there was an edict, which was sent directly to Tongzhou.

Who can guarantee whether His Majesty will have other plans for her.

After three days of calculations, Emperor Wei personally came to the stage to see off You Shence's army, and left Chang'an in a mighty manner.

At the same time that Youshen Ce's army left Chang'an, another copy of the imperial edict sent to Tongzhou also came into the hands of Pei Jiaoran.

The person who came to deliver the letter this time was not from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But he was a young student from Hanlin Academy.

Pei Jiaoran invited the guests into the mansion and ordered them to serve tea.

After drinking tea, the visitor bowed his hand to her and said, "Congratulations to Minister Pei on his move to the official position." He said with a deep bow.

Pei Jiaoran looked at the visitor with doubts in his eyes. He motioned to the servant to take it from his hand and surrender.

I received the paperwork and was about to read it. I only heard the Hanlin scholar say: "I am deeply gratified that Minister Pei has made a contribution in relieving the disaster in Tongzhou this time." He looked at her with admiration in his eyes and smiled: "The governor of Tongzhou just died at the hands of evil people, and now Tongzhou is in trouble again." There are many things to deal with. You will serve as the governor of Tongzhou and take charge of all important military, political and people's livelihood affairs."

Pei Jiaoran raised the corners of his lips slightly. In fact, according to regulations, there are four levels of officials in the state capital. In addition to the governor, who is the first governor, there are also general magistrates, magistrates and prefects. And the general judges are divided very finely, and Biejia, Sima, and Changshi all belong to this category. They are all the sergeants of the state capital and the deputy to the chief. As for other government offices, they were also established following the example of the six central departments.

In other words, it is only reasonable and reasonable for Quan Dehui to kill his senior sergeant and replace him in charge of Tongzhou. However, she uses her power to control local politics.

Turning it over and turning it over, Pei Jiaoran had a sarcastic look on his face. In a flash, he smiled at the Hanlin scholar and thanked him politely. He took the official uniform from his hand and then sent someone to see him off.

When the others walked away, Pei Jiaoran opened the door again. A chuckle rose from his throat.

She really admired some of Wei Emperor's political methods.

He rubbed his fingers over Gai's body, and the word "inspection and correction" was specially marked with a red pen. Pei Jiaoran touched his lips. The word "check" is really meaningful and very clever. The lawsuit did not clearly mention whether she would be completely kicked out of the household department. She was only relieved of her official position as Minister of Household Affairs, while retaining her powers as a judge and governor.

Therefore, her current official position is to inspect the school, Tongzhou governor, participate in politics and governor, and judge the expenses. It does seem to be from the third grade, but the word "check" is placed here, and it is very subtle.

According to the system, the school inspector is different from the agency positions such as guard, concurrent, leader, and line. It is not only temporary, but also supervised by the emperor. In other words, although she is only temporarily serving as the governor of Tongzhou, she is supervising on behalf of the imperial power.

The same goes for the profound meaning behind the word "check." It was Emperor Wei who was warning her if she couldn't handle the affairs in Tongzhou to his satisfaction. Don't go back to Chang'an, just find a place to squat.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran opened the wooden box next to him.

The dark purple robe, goldfish bag, and white jade quilt are lying quietly in the box. Closing his eyes, Pei Jiaoran seemed to see himself standing on the other side waving to her in his previous life, and then disappeared into the thickening fog.

"Servant Pei, the Quan family is here." The servant's voice brought her back to her thoughts.

"Invite them to come in and change the pot of Yangxian tea." Pei Jiaoran did not close the wooden box and left it open.

Not long after, the servant led two middle-aged men into the lobby of the state capital. These two people are Quan Dehui's father and brother.

She had met the two of them at Quan Dehui's funeral before.

"Mr. Quan, Lord Quan." Pei Jiaoran called with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, the servant came in to serve tea. The two of them immediately raised their heads to look at her, but their eyes fell on the deep purple robe.

Pei Jiaoran had a gentle smile on his face, "Your Majesty has just sent this to you. I will be the governor of Tongzhou, and I am afraid that Pei will have to deal with you two often."

The father and son of the Quan family had smiles on their faces.

"Then first congratulate Governor Pei. But Governor Pei is so talented, why does he need our help?" Quan's father glanced at Pei Jiaoran and said solemnly: "My father and son are here today. I just want to ask, how is my second son doing? dead?"

The words went up a few degrees at the end.

Staring at Father Quan, Pei Jiaoran sighed with regret, "It is true that Governor Quan died because of the mob's random attacks. Is Mr. Quan not satisfied with this answer?"

The guilt on Pei Jiaoran's face disappeared, and he only maintained a friendly look. But the painting is full of undeniable meaning.

"Then I would like to ask Governor Pei, what is this?" Father Quan said and opened his palms.

Only half of the fabric was lying on his hand.

Pei Jiaoran already recognized who the piece of clothing belonged to.

That is the clothing material of Shence Army. Only the Shence Army, which has a rich military budget, can afford such clothing materials.

Smiling, Pei Jiaoran said, "I wonder what Mr. Quan wants to talk about?"

Father Quan frowned upon hearing this, as if he didn't expect Pei Jiaoran to become so cheerful.

But he couldn't think of what he wanted to talk about for a while.

After a long silence, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Quan, since you can't think of anything to talk about. How about I talk about this first?"

"Okay." Father Quan responded.
