The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

Mr. Song, the Second Minister of the Cabinet, just retired and returned to his hometown a few days ago, and moved his family out of the capital.

Although the cabinet has been suppressed by the East Factory for many years, it is a cabinet after all. With the cabinet, court officials have a backbone. The Chief Minister Yang has been bedridden for many years, and the Second Minister Song is actually the head of all officials.

Now that the head of all officials is gone, the court officials are leaderless and in disarray, and are naturally at the mercy of the East Depot.

If no one among the court officials can stand up and serve as the backbone, there will be no place for anyone else in the court except the eunuch party.

This incident happened so suddenly that it had a huge impact on the court structure. Who was behind this and why did Lord Song leave Beijing in such a hurry? Pei Yu had been investigating for several days but had no clues at all.

And now, when Pei Yu heard that the princess offered the position of the second assistant in the cabinet to negotiate conditions, he was shocked to realize that the princess was behind this.

This is what it means to be in the dark.

Pei Yu never thought that he was so short-sighted. There was such a powerful person hiding right under his nose, but he turned a blind eye to it.

Thinking about the time when he was deceived by the eldest princess' false sincerity, Pei Yu couldn't help but laugh to himself secretly. How ridiculous, how stupid!

Pei Yu, you have always been conceited about your intelligence, but this time you fell into the trap of underestimating your enemy and becoming arrogant.

Pei Yu didn't like to get along with stupid people. At that time, he despised the eldest princess's shallowness and didn't take her seriously.

But he didn't know that behind his back, the eldest princess might laugh at him for being so clever and look down on him for his inability to judge people.

Looking directly at the mistake he had made, Pei Yu felt neither ashamed of being deceived nor angry of being teased. Instead, he felt more and more excited.

Interesting! Interesting! This princess is so interesting!

Meeting an equally matched opponent, Pei Yu felt that even this boring capital city became interesting.

Pei Yu smiled gently, and said in a gentle way:

"Second Minister of the Cabinet? I see. I wonder what kind of benefits His Highness promised to Lord Song that made him give up even the position of Second Minister so easily."

Su Fengyi also smiled, without any pretense, and said directly:

“If I spare his life, that would be a great benefit.

There is no construction without destruction. Song Jiamo is not capable of being a second-in-command, so he should give way to a virtuous person.

In my opinion, among all the civil officials in the world, no one can compare to Lord Pei, and the position of the second assistant minister must belong to Lord Pei.

I wonder what Master Pei thinks?"

No one can do it better than you.

The liar's magic potion is really delicious.

Pei Yu looked at the princess' sincere and flawless expression and listened to the words that praised her to the skies. Although he knew that this was just a trick used by the princess and not her true heart, he still decided to try this bowl of exquisite magic potion.

After all, the several branches of the Pei family were ready to make a move, coveting the position of the head of the Pei family, and they used endless means. Although they posed no threat to him, it was really annoying after happening so many times.

A position as the second assistant in the cabinet is enough to shock those evil spirits once and for all and reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Moreover, Pei Yu was really curious about where the eldest princess got the confidence from. A position of deputy assistant was like cabbages and radishes in the vegetable market, which could be taken away at will and given to anyone at will.

The influence and power of the princess in the court is so profound? ! So terrifying? !

And the Pei family knew nothing about this until now! The Pei family's exploration of the capital's structure was so negligent that Pei Yu had to be alert.

Why not take this opportunity to see what the eldest princess is capable of?

Pei Yu bowed and said:

"If you don't take what heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences. Since Your Highness has invited me, I will respectfully obey your order and wait for good news from Your Highness.

In my opinion, the Emperor's plan to lead the army in person will not be realized, so Your Highness can rest assured."

It is easy to talk to smart people. The two of them can finalize the terms of cooperation in a few words. When the job is done, it is the time when people are most relaxed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Fengyi looked at Pei Yu and suddenly asked:

"Zhou Yucheng, what good did you promise him? How could he not be afraid of death?"

Pei Yu was stunned. The princess didn't ask if it was true or why, but what was it?

Does that mean the princess already knows?

No, there was no way she could know.

The Zhou family and the Pei family, one is a poor family, the other is a noble family, one is from the impoverished village of Pingliang, the other is from the prosperous area of ​​Jiangnan, and they have had no contact for generations.

Pei Yu and Zhou Yucheng are neither from the same hometown, nor are they classmates, let alone the same year, so they have no connection at all.

Moreover, he and Zhou Yucheng were only casual acquaintances and had only met each other a few times. No matter who they were, they should not think of the two of them together.

Pei Yu realized that the princess was trying to trick him and there was no way she could know.

But looking at the eldest princess's expression, Pei Yu knew that he had been thinking too long and had already revealed his flaws. Denying it at this time would only make him look bad.

So Pei Yu did not deny it, but smiled and said:

"Your Highness, do you believe that there is such a group of people in this world who care about the world, do not care about personal gains and losses, and take it as their responsibility to support the country and save the people.

Brother Zhou is like this. I, Pei, have nothing but admiration for such a person. As ordinary people like me who are busy with their lives in this world, how dare we say that we can do anything good for Brother Zhou?

Even thinking about it this way is really a blasphemy to Brother Zhou's noble character and an humiliation to his literary spirit.

Given Brother Zhou's official position, he has no right to submit memorials directly to the emperor. What Pei did was simply to give Brother Zhou an opportunity for his memorial to reach the emperor's ears directly.

Your Highness, you know that after Brother Zhou finished writing the memorial, he prepared a coffin at home and made preparations for his own funeral."

Su Fengyi was indeed deceiving Pei Yu. Indeed, there was no mention of any connection between Pei Yu and Zhou Yucheng in the original book.

One was a cannon fodder who died very early, and the other was an early background character who officially appeared very late. There is no way they could be connected.

But at the same time, Su Fengyi inferred the process from the result. It was unreasonable for a cunning man like Pei Yu to have his marriage and future controlled, but he did not resist at all and waited silently until King Pingliang succeeded in his rebellion before coming out.

Then Pei Yu must have done something.

Pei Yu's story was indeed touching, but if it was General Shen who told this story, Su Fengyi would naturally believe it. However, since it was Pei Yu who told it, Su Fengyi became cautious.

Pei Yu is not the kind of person who likes to do good deeds without leaving a name. Pei Yu might have used some kind of Spring and Autumn style of writing. There must be something in this matter that she doesn't know.

Su Fengyi continued to ask:

“Why Pingliang?”

Zhou Yucheng is from Pingliang, the same place where the male protagonist in the original book was enfeoffed. This is really too much of a coincidence.

Pei Yu didn't expect that he had just told such a touching story that most people would probably cry on the spot, but the princess was actually indifferent.

This cold-blooded and emotionless character is like the other half of his soul. He really loves her so much.
