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

Pei Jiaoran successfully caught up with Emperor Wei and his party in Xianyang. As soon as she arrived, Wei Ruo sent someone to invite her over, but Emperor Wei summoned her. She could only refuse Wei Ruo temporarily.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of staying in Xianyang, Yan ordered Yao's pursuers to arrive again. Emperor Wei had no choice but to go to Fengtian again. She didn't get around to it until today.

He opened the curtain and went in, just in time to bump into the sullen prince. After bowing respectfully, I heard the prince sneer in my ears. Then there was the sound of striding away.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips as if thinking of something.

Enter the inner sanctum. Seeing Wu Lingjia talking to Wei Ruo, Pei Jiaoran had a smile on his face.

"Jia Jia Ke is here." Wei Ruo pulled her to sit down and handed her tea, "You have been here for three days and I just saw you today. When I heard that you were still in Chang'an, God knows how worried I was. As a result You just came looking for me now.”

After taking a sip of tea, Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened, "Why don't I want to come? It's because the government office has a lot of business. You know, Wang Xianggong heard that his two sons died at the hands of the rebels. He was so angry that he became ill. For several days. He is ill, but the affairs of the center still have to run."

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Ruo stuffed a peony cake into her mouth, silencing her chatter.

"Okay. Huan Chuheng told me the same thing. He also said that I should make you more busy." Wei Ruo said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Pei Jiaoran's eyes flashed darkly as he took a small bite of the rice cake.

After all, the affairs of the government office were very heavy. The three of them chatted for about half an hour before someone came to invite them. It was said that the prince urgently called for a meeting. After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran and Wu Lingjia had no choice but to bid farewell to Wei Ruo and returned to the government office.

Although there is a palace in Fengtian, the area is not as large as Taiji Palace. Naturally, the government offices are not as good as those in Chang'an. The government offices of various departments are all crowded together. Only the temporary political hall was slightly more spacious.

Parting with Wu Lingjia at the door, Pei Jiaoran smoothed out the wrinkles on his body and walked in slowly.

The prince was at the top, with Jia Gonglu and Cen Xi sitting on both sides. There were not many officials who fled with the Holy Emperor this time. Only five of the eight people who had the title of prime minister in the political hall were still there. It still includes the chief officials of the three provinces.

The rest who do not have the title of prime minister and are not officials from the three provinces will naturally not be able to enter. Pei Jiaoran was given the title of Pingzhang Political Affairs by Emperor Wei.

Her current official position is that of Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with the additional title of Pingzhang Zhengshi.

Jia Gonglu on the side stared at Pei Jiaoran, who looked calm and calm, with somewhat complicated eyes. This young man gave him too many surprises. I had a seemingly casual conversation with him that day. It's actually layout.

He even had some doubts about whether Yan Ling Yao's rebellion was because she was instigated. Yes, no wonder she promised so generously. It turned out that she had laid a trap long ago. Taking advantage of human greed, Wang Yu was pushed to death silently. But she stayed out of the matter and now successfully entered the center.

An elusive smile appeared on Jia Gonglu's face. Compared to Wang Yu, he still looked forward to becoming a rival with her.

"Just now news came from Chang'an that Yao ordered Dugu Jun to be the emperor." The prince took out the letter from his sleeve, looked at the ministers and said, "I am opposed to the imperial court."

After the prince finished speaking, the political hall fell into silence.

The Shence Army is still out on a campaign. Even if we return for help now, it will take at least a month to travel day and night. Fengtian is not as strong as Chang'an City and has insufficient troops. Now we can only rely on nearby troops to send troops to support and defend the imperial power.

The prince ordered the letter to be circulated to everyone. When it was passed to Pei Jiaoran, she glanced at the letter and pursed her thin lips.

Most of the letters contained familiar names. Yanling Yao was named the sect's servant and marshal within the pass because of his support. Hou Yue was appointed as the Vice Minister of Zhongshu and Tongping Zhangshi judged the branch. Zong Yuan, who had been replaced by Cai Xilie, was also appointed as Sikong and Shizhong. Many officials idled by the imperial court also defected to Dugujun, and many Fengxiang generals surrendered to him.

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he looked at the contents of the letter. The two most noteworthy sentences in this letter are, "Yao and Hou Yue are strictly ordered to jointly control the government affairs, and Dugu Jun will consult them on all matters big and small." The other sentence is, "Make Dugu Bo the emperor's younger brother."

This last sentence means that the battle situation in Heshuo may open up a new situation. With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes.

By the time the ministers read the letter, it was already half an hour later.

Everyone remained silent.

Everyone understood that Dugujun knew that it was useless to achieve military victory alone, as political victory was also required. He is now aggressively trying to persuade them to surrender and then granting them official posts because the country still needs to function. Only when it is running can it compete with the imperial court.

The key issue now is that there are no soldiers and no one. If Dugujun comes to attack in a big way, he may not be able to stop it.

The meeting at the Political Hall did not end until nightfall. The result of the discussion was to issue an order to the nearby kings of Dao Qin to protect him.

Pei Jiaoran did not comment on the result. She was currently focused on the battle situation in Heshuo. She single-handedly started the war in Heshuo, and did not want this move to be abandoned due to the fall of Chang'an.

Just as she was about to stand up and leave, the prince suddenly called her out.

Looking back at the prince in the shadow, Pei Jiaoran sighed. He sat back silently.

"Aye is as motivated as you to regain Heshuo. But none of the ministers support him, and even if they did, they would be rejected by others. You are the first to raise this matter with almost perfect reasons." Prince Looking at her, she suddenly laughed, "Aye once said to me, "If the center is unstable, it will be difficult to establish the authority of the king. But the central government only knew how to exercise power and belittle the warriors, causing the vassal town to grow bigger. There are unruly vassal towns inside, and there are powerful enemies looking at them outside. If it cannot be reborn, the 140 years of Zuo in the Wei Kingdom may have come to an end. The people will die of flesh and blood again, and their lives will be like grass and grass. "At that time, I didn't think the center was that bad, but until I saw you, I felt that you were different from them. Maybe you are the Kunshan jade that Aye said."

Pei Jiaoran smiled when he heard this, "Actually, there is no difference between them and me. We are all for our own selfish interests. Any attempt to break the establishment cannot take everyone into account almost perfectly. There will always be someone who becomes the loser in the overall situation. Sacrifice.”

Looking at her, the prince laughed dumbly, "But you are still different. You dare to take risks to implement the New Deal in Tongzhou. Your New Deal is very good, and you dare to slander the world's belief in Buddha. I have never done this to anyone else. I've seen it happen. Maybe you can bring a new era of great governance to me."

Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes when he heard the prince's change of self-identification. The prince dared to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit her.

She understands. In the eyes of the prince, the power of the old king may fall, and the power of the new king will rise in the future. And the new king needs a pawn to help him break through the fog and gain new life. So he picked her, a new force that was about to enter the center.

Because she doesn't have any party affiliation.

"Then what kind of era of great rule does Your Highness want?" Pei Jiaoran licked his lips, "Your Highness, there has never been an era of absolute great rule in this world. Everyone has different and helpless choices under the great waves. Dynasties have changed over thousands of years. The New Deal is constantly being implemented, and even in the prosperous times that are said in the history books, some people suffered and some shed blood. Every time after the change of old and new forces, the persecutors will appear with different faces next to the oppressed." After a pause, she continued. Said: "So Your Highness must understand. Unless a new order can be completely established, any force will fall. It is nothing more than rewriting the face of the persecutor."

Pei Jiaoran smiled as if he was remembering something.

"Your Highness, you and I are in this situation. Who can guarantee that we can be absolutely good and not have blood on our hands?"
