After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl
Chapter 561 She, Pei's Knife
The first one to speak was the Second Master Tao.
"According to your request, a batch of horses have been purchased and secretly sent to Western Xinjiang."
"But my father has changed his usual behavior recently and no longer allows me to interfere in the affairs of the Tao family business. From now on, I am afraid it will be difficult to help you purchase horses quietly."
Hearing this, Pei Guichen looked at Tao Er meaningfully.
"You want me to help you?"
Tao Er smiled flatteringly and immediately replied: "Young Master, I admire your wisdom and tactics very much! Please help me!"
Pei Guichen sneered coldly: "This matter is so simple, do you still need me to teach you?"
"It's very simple?" After racking his brains, Tao Er was still at a loss: "Please explain it clearly, young master."
Pei Guichen's smile grew colder: "Father is dead, brother is dead, the successor is naturally you."
"But killing people violates the laws of Daqi!" Tao Er waved his hands in fear, "No, no! That Imperial Censor Zhang is investigating the case of King Xiao being poisoned! If I kill my father and brother, it will definitely attract the attention of the government."
"If the truth is revealed, I will have to pay with my life!"
In front of the bookshelf, Pei Guichen picked out a book of strange stories.
Only spots of light fell between the tangled vines outside the window, and through the tightly closed curtains, the expression of the young man in white robes looked sinister and cold.
"Isn't the nearest Jiangnan City haunted?"
Hearing this, Tao Er was stunned for a while, and suddenly he realized!
"Put the blame on the ghost! I understand!"
Hearing this, Pei Guichen sneered with his thin lips, sat back on the tea table with the Record of Strange Stories in his hand, and tapped the white porcelain teacup with his bent fingers as if nonchalantly.
Suddenly, the young man in white robe asked, "Who have you disclosed your relationship with the Pei family to?"
It was clearly a plain question, but Tao Er suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He hastily pointed to the sky and swore: "I'm very tight-lipped! I've never mentioned the Pei family at all!!"
A Bao, who was hiding in the corner, was nervous.
Since Pei Guichen asked this question, he must be suspecting that the change of ownership of the Tao family business was aimed at the Pei family and was her doing.
It seems that she needs to speed up many things in Jiangnan.
Otherwise, once Pei Guichen discovered her past life and her soul had watched the life of Emperor Tiansheng, he would lose the opportunity to deal with Pei Guichen and even the Pei family.
Thinking of this, Abao made a secret decision.
But in the tea room, Pei Guichen asked, "Where's the list?"
"My father's reputation for being kind and generous is very useful." When talking about the list, Tao Er reported proudly, "They are all poor scholars who sell their intelligence and talents. The eldest son offers a sky-high price. Of course, they know how to choose!!"
As he spoke, Tao Er respectfully presented the completed list.
But Pei Guichen opened the book and his sharp eyelashes cast a shadow, and his thin lips sneered: "Why are the last four people - nowhere to be found?"
Tao Er felt aggrieved: "Master, please listen to my explanation! When I sent people to look for those four, they had all disappeared one by one."
A Bao, who was following in the corner, suddenly heard the sound of a cup being smashed.
It seems that Pei Guichen is really angry and can no longer pretend to be calm.
Thinking of this, A Bao silently bumped fists with Xuan Ji and celebrated with a silent smile!
In the imperial capital of the previous life, the court structure had already been divided.
In addition to winning over the existing forces, Pei Guichen also tried to foster his own helpers in the court, and children from poor families were his target.
In the spring of next year, I will take the imperial examination and have my name inscribed on the Wild Goose Pagoda.
What Pei Guichen funded was of great use to his Tiansheng cause.
But not everyone is willing to be ordered by Pei Guichen.
They read the books of sages and speak up for the people, and they have their own ambitions to achieve great things.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she sent Xie Wuai to take the four people away.
He was just feeling happy that he had taken the initiative, and now he was smiling as he watched Pei Guichen suffer.
But at this moment, she heard Gu Qijue's voice.
Just like him, his provocative words were as eerie as the infernal world of hell: "Her Royal Highness the Princess made a secret visit to Jiangnan, I'm afraid this was her doing."
"The intention is to aim at the Spring Examination."
"It's not all about the Spring Examination." Pei Guichen said lightly: "She wants the women's imperial examination."
This one sentence made Tao Er panic and scream out in surprise!
"Is Princess Diyang crazy?!"
"She's not crazy." Pei Guichen said calmly.
In his previous life, Abao had tried to restore the imperial examination for women.
To this end, she did not hesitate to confront the Jiangnan aristocratic group, and fought openly and secretly between the turbulent factions in the seemingly calm court. She spent a lot of effort, and finally in the seventh year of her reign, she was able to restore the imperial examination for women created by Empress Wenying.
But it was this imperial examination for women that became his most effective weapon.
After all, although A Bao ascended the throne as a woman, not all court officials accepted the idea of a female emperor ruling the country, and A Bao's support for women to serve as officials in the court violated their bottom line.
Therefore, he took advantage of this matter and easily gained the support of those court officials who were dissatisfied with the imperial examinations for women, as well as the famous aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.
For some reason, the tea room was dead silent.
A Bao leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
During the reign of Empress Wenying, she opened many women's academies and set up imperial examinations for women. However, after her death, the women's academies gradually declined.
From then on, it became a place for prominent families to train qualified daughters-in-law.
As for the imperial examination for women?
How can women take the imperial examinations if there are no books to read?
Gradually, the women's imperial examination became just a line or two mentioned casually in those dusty history books that were shelved in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Recalling Tao Er's words - Is Princess Diyang crazy? !
Suddenly, Po laughed at himself.
After her tragic death, when she learned of Pei Guichen's actions, she was filled with grief and indignation, but she actually admired him for his thorough understanding of the court and his steady, accurate and ruthless actions against her.
If she took part in the imperial examination for women, she would be courting death.
