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

Pei Jiaoran's words were incisive and to the point, and she presented her strategies one by one in front of everyone, showing how powerful they were. Even Jia Gonglu could not help but nod in agreement. He had to admit that Pei Jiaoran was far more powerful than his dependents. Her quick decisions and pragmatic and capable character have made her an irreplaceable presence in the government hall.

Jia Gonglu looked at Pei Jiaoran and sighed. He understood that she said this because she was fully confident. Chang'an was in turmoil, but she braved the waves and threw herself on the top of the waves. Perhaps Beihe Huihu would not succeed, and it might even speed up the cooperation between Tubo and Huihu. But based on his understanding of Pei Jiaoran, although she did not say it, she must have a backup plan. Jia Gonglu felt that there might be more traps waiting for the Huihu ahead.

After listening to this, Jia Gonglu bowed and smiled, "Since Prime Minister Pei is so confident, he must be fully prepared for this plan. Why not ask His Majesty for permission to go to the Uighurs in person? If this trip is successful, it will be a great achievement, and there is no need to worry about not being able to join the Secretariat in the future. However, the focus of the court is now in Jiannan. Although Longshan is guarded, Zuozang is overwhelmed. If there is a mistake, where will the Shuofang soldiers be placed? Where will the Shuofang people be placed? I heard that Prime Minister Pei's relatives are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and the disaster of war cannot disturb them. I guess he can't understand the suffering of the people in the border areas."

In fact, since ancient times, when two parties competed in war, there have been many debates about whether to fight or to make peace, but they were mainly about choosing one of the two in the general direction. As for how to implement the content of the debate, it was not within the scope of discussion of all parties. More often, whichever side the emperor stood on would have a greater chance of winning. The reason why there was still a debate was that the final decision would affect the interests of different groups. Although the prince came on behalf of the Emperor of Wei, he happened to be accompanied by the King of Wu. For a time, the emperor's will became elusive.

The crown prince was jealous. Not only because his chancellor and Pei Jiaoran agreed, but more importantly, Pei Jiaoran proposed a deeper strategy. And it was a good thing for him. If Pei Jiaoran won, he could drive the most powerful nail into the three provincial teams. The crown prince even felt that as long as Pei Jiaoran could win, he was willing to take responsibility for the consequences of this matter.

Standing up and clasping his hands, Pei Jiaoran said, "It is fine to ask Yao to judge Shun, but it is like using a liter to measure a stone to ask Jie to judge Yao. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Since the Emperor controls the nine provinces, he is as magnanimous as the sea. How can he bother with a bunch of people? Originally, both parties could be honest with each other, but Lord Jia is bent on stopping me. He even ridiculed me for not knowing the military and the suffering of the people at the border. I would like to ask, what is Lord Jia's intention?"

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran looked at the prince again, "Your Majesty has been so kind to me that I am filled with gratitude. Although I am only a civil official, I am still willing to live and die for my country. Since Lord Jia wants me to go as an envoy to the Uighurs, I am willing to ask for your permission to go as an envoy. It is a long journey to the Uighurs, and I do not know if I can come back alive. If I die, I will pray that I will be buried facing east. If I am imprisoned, I will follow the example of Su Wu, holding the Han imperial flag and herding sheep, drinking snow when thirsty and eating felt when hungry. I will hold the Han imperial flag and herd sheep until the flag falls, and I will not surrender."

Yuwen Jie, who was listening at the side, could not help but sneer, "Didn't Prime Minister Pei say that the Uighurs were interested in making friends with us? Why did he describe the Uighurs as so vicious? If Prime Minister Pei really wanted to go on a diplomatic mission to the Uighurs, why did he threaten Your Majesty with death or imprisonment? Now that the Uighurs have not made any move, you are so worried. Could it be that you have had dealings with the Uighurs for a long time?"

Pei Jiaoran saw that Yuwen Jie was trying to portray him as having ulterior motives, so he sneered and said, "I have heard that Yuwen Pushe is a man of both military and literary talents, and he is both wise and brave. It is a long journey to the Uighurs, and I am afraid that I cannot do it alone. I would like to invite Yuwen Pushe to go to the Uighurs together. Together, we can persuade the Uighurs so that the people on the border can be free from the war and Your Majesty can be free from worries. In the future, you and I will be remembered for our achievements. If this trip fails, and you and I are lucky enough to return to the east, I am willing to take all the blame. From now on, I will ride on a raft on the sea, ignore the secular world, and let my name be destroyed while I am alive."

Yuwen Jie felt his forehead swell up after hearing this. He stared coldly at Pei Jiaoran, then turned to look at Jia Gonglu. Pei Jiaoran's move not only showed his attitude, but also dragged himself into the water. He also did not leave her a way out. In other words, if the Uighurs really cooperated with Tubo in the future and jointly attacked Longyou and Hexi, or even occupied these two places, it would have nothing to do with her. Because she had already implemented her strategy to the greatest extent.

Knowing the deep meaning behind this, Yuwen Jie saw Jia Gonglu nod slightly to him, so he kept silent. They were used to her dancing with long sleeves, but they rarely saw her so sharp, like a sharp sword. Her words were sonorous, fierce and decisive. Her knowledge was one in a million.

"Prince Pei's words are sharp, which reminds me of a poem." King Wu smiled and said in a gentle voice, "He is as upright as a green pine tree, and as resolute as a white jade. Prime Minister Pei is a man of great talent, and I am willing to follow his advice."

Knowing that the King of Wu was trying to show goodwill and win him over, Pei Jiaoran smiled and nodded.

Jia Gonglu frowned as he caught a glimpse of the King of Wu's move. He sighed inwardly. It was a good thing that the King of Wu loved and cherished talents, but when would he realize that he could not control Pei Jiaoran at all, and the Emperor of Wei would definitely not let Pei Jiaoran become the King of Wu's minister.

The prince smiled even more after hearing this. Pei Jiaoran had already won this round, and she knew that her father was waiting for a way out. So she used her loyalty to pave a way for the emperor to come down. But he still needed his father's statement before he could clearly stand up and support Pei Jiaoran. Otherwise, it would seem a bit coercive.

Thinking of this, the prince waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, "My dear ministers, what you said is all for the country. Pei Qing is loyal, and I will convey the truth to Your Majesty. After Your Majesty has considered it, he will send an edict to the Secretariat. The government office is busy, so you can go back."

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

The prince stood up and left. When he passed by Pei Jiaoran, he suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Pei seems to have not come to the East Palace for a few days. I have some homework that I want to ask you for advice."

Pei Jiaoran nodded when he heard this, "After I finish handling the affairs of the Secretariat and other provinces, I will definitely go to the East Palace."

As soon as the crown prince and the king of Wu left, everyone else's eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran.

"Who in the court can compare to Prime Minister Pei in terms of eloquence and debate?" Su Jinghui stared at Pei Jiaoran with a cold tone.

"That's right. Mr. Pei's ability to argue always impresses people." Yuwen Jie glared at her, "I don't know if this eloquent tongue can convince the Uighurs to form an alliance with us."

After they finished talking, they left one after another.

Pei Jiaoran, Jia Gonglu and Cen Xi were the only ones left in the room, feeling a little awkward.

Squinting at Pei Jiaoran, Jia Gonglu asked, "Does Prime Minister Pei really want to take all the responsibility?"

"If this can be accomplished, why should I fear death?" Pei Jiaoran said, waving his sleeves, "Goodbye."

As soon as he stepped over the threshold of the Government Affairs Hall, Cen Xi also followed.

"Qingjia, let's go together." Cen Xi said.
