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

"How long has Pei Qing been here?" King Wu, who was killed by Emperor Wei's son, threw away his helmet and armor, and then turned around and asked with a smile.

Pei Jiaoran bowed and replied: "It will only take a moment."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei smiled and said nothing, looking at Pei Jiaoran calmly. He had heard Concubine Zhang's compliments to her just now. However, she looked calm and calm, as if she had read through the other person's thoughts. A person who is not surprised by favor or disgrace and has an insight into everything should have the attitude of being a prime minister. The affairs of the central government are numerous, and various situations must be dealt with accordingly. If one cannot maintain a clear mind and calmness, the world will be in chaos as soon as an order is issued.

However, the King of Wu on the side stepped forward and said with a smile: "My mother, Prime Minister Pei is the most talented in the world. Zhongshu Province is busy with affairs, and there are not many opportunities to see her on weekdays. However, it is also because I am accompanying the Prime Minister, so I am tired. Mr. Pei is like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran felt his back tighten, but his face remained calm. Looking up at King Wu, he saw a proud look on his face. To be precise, he should be beaming with joy. Regardless of whether Emperor Wei was present or not, he stretched out his hand to help her up.

The prince saw Pei Jiaoran's smile fade and his eyes slightly open, as if he was angry. Seeing that King Wu was completely unaware of his rude behavior, he shook his head and said nothing.

Since the Emperor was still alive, Pei Jiaoran was unable to kick King Wu away, so he had to use his right hand to support the sleeve of his robe. He stood up quickly, bowed and thanked her, then stood aside.

Seeing this, King Wu just smiled and did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he turned around and said, "Father, I intend to set up a literature museum in the mansion. I would like to invite Mr. Pei to come into the mansion to be my teacher, to teach my knowledge."

After the words fell, Pei Jiaoran was slightly stunned. The prince and all the teachers are appointed by the king. In short, no prince can choose his teachers from among the court officials, especially the important officials of the court.

When she was thinking about why King Wu was confused, she heard Concubine Zhang saying from the side: "Your Majesty, Ke'er also admires Mr. Pei's talents and has no other intentions."

After all, having been with the emperor for many years, Concubine Zhang was keenly aware of the changes in Emperor Wei and quickly helped.

"I invited Prime Minister Pei to play chess." Emperor Wei interrupted Zhang Guifei's words.

Pei Jiaoran followed the instructions and took the place where King Wu had been sitting. He picked up the white pieces and played chess with Emperor Wei.

On the white jade chessboard, the chess pieces fall like stars. Emperor Wei took the lead and dropped Tianyuan. Pei Jiaoran twisted the chess piece with his fingertips and raised the tip of his lips. Occupying the position of Tianyuan seemed to remind her what it means to be a monarch and a subject. Thinking about Emperor Wei's thoughts at the moment, she held the chess piece and lay dormant in a corner with her head bowed, the upper left star position and the upper right star position echoing each other. Smiling slightly, he held the white dot in the middle, and the white dots immediately connected together, hinting at a counterattack.

Pei Jiaoran understood that in fact, what happened today, with the talent of King Wu and the talents of the people around him, he would never come up with such an idea. It was probably someone who deliberately encouraged King Wu and went through the people in the Political Hall in his mind. A name popped up, instigating the King of Wu to request her to be his teacher in front of Emperor Wei, causing Emperor Wei and the prince to become suspicious of her, and then make a decision.

King Wu didn't know it was a trap and thought it was an opportunity. Therefore, he mentioned the matter in front of Emperor Wei, thinking that recruiting her into the palace would be a powerful aid to help him deal with the prince. Little did they know that there was a murderous intention behind it. And she will also be pushed to the forefront.

Suddenly, Pei Jiaoran burst into laughter, his wrist rose and fell, and he clicked on the side of the sunspot, eating all of it. Then he raised his head and looked at Emperor Wei with a respectful expression.

The prince on the side frowned slightly and looked at King Wu. He didn't expect King Wu to say this. What is Pei Jiaoran's status? How can he allow a prince to become a teacher without permission? At the moment it seems his father is oblivious to this.

"Mr. Pei is really a master of chess. No wonder my father said that I am a bad chess player. Now that I see Mr. Pei's chess skills, I am ashamed of myself." King Wu smiled with a smile on his face. "My father knows people well and uses them wisely, so he can capture the world. Talents gather at the imperial court. I congratulate Your Majesty on having such a virtuous assistant as Prime Minister Pei."

As soon as he said this, the smile on Emperor Wei's face softened a lot, as if he was quite impressed by King Wu's words, "Pei Qing is not as good at this as Jia Qing. I know you are not good at this, and you can't rely on it." You don’t have to be proficient in this skill to make a living.”

After listening to Emperor Wei's words, Pei Jiaoran smiled lightly. These words could be regarded as a complete rejection of King Wu's idea of ​​recruiting her as his teacher. Turning his eyes towards the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces were still strangled with each other.

Seeing that Bai Zi has been forced into a desperate situation by Heizi, Pei Jiaoran suddenly fell down. Bai Zi, who was originally at a disadvantage, has survived from the predicament, making Tai'a fall. With the victory or defeat decided, she raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei twirled the chess pieces in his hand and said, "Pei Qing is not willing to give me even half a cent of face."

Pei Jiaoran held his hand and smiled slightly, "I remember that the Kunshan jade comes from the Book of Jin. "Book of Jin: Biography of Que Shen" says: "I moved to Yongzhou to be the governor. Emperor Wu saw him off in the East Hall and asked Shen, "Why do you think you are doing this?" Shen replied: "The virtuous measures I have taken are the best in the world, just like a branch in Guilin or a piece of jade in Kunshan." ". I am honored to have been praised by your Majesty in this way. Although everyone in the world thought that he was being modest, I felt that he was not being modest, but was praising both Emperor Wu and myself."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei said, "You are quite eloquent."

"Since I have been praised by Your Majesty as a piece of jade from Kunshan, how can I dare to deceive Your Majesty? I am willing to repay Your Majesty by being a good minister." Pei Jiaoran said respectfully.

Listening to her words, Emperor Wei smiled and said nothing.

"I heard from the young minister of Honglu Temple that Your Majesty intends to invite military envoys from all over the world to come to the imperial court this spring. I think that since there are military envoys from all over the world to come to the imperial court, it would be better to take the opportunity to review Shence and Jinwu in the name of the emperor. Both armies." Pei Jiaoran raised his head to meet the Wei Emperor's gaze, "show them the power of the imperial court to frighten them."

"Oh? Does the Jinwu Guard also need to be reviewed by the emperor?" Emperor Wei asked, stroking his beard.

Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Yes. The Jinwu Guards are responsible for city defense and street patrols. In the past, Jiang Ke, the secretary's assistant, was attacked and killed by thieves in the market. This was inseparable from the Jinwu Guards' dereliction of duty. Although His Majesty has severely punished the street patrols that night. Jinwu Guards, but the feudal town inevitably still despises him. Now that he has the opportunity to display Jinwu's power again, how can the feudal town dare to underestimate the imperial court again."

"There seems to be something wrong with what Prime Minister Pei said. Since the Jinwu Guards are involved in the heavy responsibility of city defense, how can they go out in full force?" King Wu retorted.

Emperor Wei frowned and thought for a moment, "What Pei Qing just said makes sense. The Jinwu Guards are also the imperial army. If they can't show off their power in front of the feudal towns, it would be inappropriate. I will think about this matter. Prince, please send Pei off for me. Please go back, sir."

"My son, I obey."

The prince and Pei Jiaoran got out of the boat one after another, got on the boat and landed.

The chamberlain followed for a while, and the prince turned around and said, "You don't have to follow. Go back and report to your majesty. I will see off Prime Minister Pei in person."

The two chamberlains wanted to know what was going on, so they left and disappeared for a moment.
