The National Teacher is a Rabbit Spirit

"The King of Qin voluntarily asked for a fight in order to let the world know that he is a loyal minister who saved Daning from fire and water. If he handed over the position of regent, it would be an admission that he has wolf ambitions." Pei Shao said, "He didn't back down easily. Personality, knowing that I can't touch him directly, naturally I have to find a way to win the round."

After hearing Pei Shao's words, several other people present nodded frequently.Indeed, the King of Qin is not the King of Jin. He has been preparing for so many years just to seize power. Now he just lost, so how could he give up so easily?

"Then what should we do? King Qin is always a thorn in the capital." Xue Qi said.

"Say he's rebelling, so kill him immediately." Bai Zimu interrupted suddenly, speaking so clearly that the other three people looked at him.

"There are many people who do this." The national teacher also learned a few stories from Pei Shao. If he wanted to get rid of the thorn in his flesh, he could just say that he rebelled. Now that he thought of it, he said it directly.

The queen mother was silent, Xue Qi felt that what Bai Zimu said was also reasonable, but it seemed difficult to express his agreement. Pei Shaochu was a little surprised at the beginning, but after a little thought, he couldn't help smiling, Xindao Guoshi is really cute, and he was talking to Bai Zimu under the table The holding hand squeezed his palm, and his little movements were not revealed at all on his face.

The national teacher has always done things simply and neatly, and wins with strength. As the saying goes, one force can reduce ten meetings, and the power of the national teacher is as good as the sky. He has no scruples.

"National teacher's high opinion." Pei Shao said with a smile, "If I were a tyrant, I could do this, but I want to be a wise king and make the people of the world be convinced, so I can't do this."

"En." Bai Zimu seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand. He nodded when he saw what Pei Shao said, and didn't care that his opinion was not accepted.

When the national teacher interrupted like this, the atmosphere on the table became a little more lively.Pei Shao filled a bowl of soup for the Queen Mother and General Xue respectively, and when giving it to Bai Zimu Sheng, he tested the temperature with the back of his hand, and put it in front of him when he felt that it was just right for his mouth, and then turned the handle of the spoon to Bai Zimu.

Bai Zimu took a sip of the soup, and his eyes lit up. This soup is made with old chicken and added with vermicelli and fish balls.

Several people were also hungry, so they put aside the business and concentrated on eating.During the meal, although there were maids serving by the side, Pei Shao still often added soup to Bai Zimu's pickled vegetables, as if he wanted to give all the delicious things to the national teacher.

Bai Zimu didn't refuse either, he ate everything Pei Shao gave him, and occasionally smiled at Pei Shao.Seeing the way these two get along, Xue Qi couldn't help but see how the queen mother reacted, but she saw that the queen mother didn't look sideways, as if she didn't see it at all.

He probably knew it in his heart. Seeing Pei Shao and Bai Zimu getting along, although they were close, they didn't seem to have much ambiguity.Maybe it's just Pei Shao's normal concern for the national teacher. Just now Pei Shao gave him soup.

What General Xue has learned the most over the years is to be cautious and not to speak nonsense, so no matter what he sees, he will not talk too much.

After dinner, a few people went to Pei Shao's study and talked about the previous topic again.

"The death of the first emperor may have something to do with the King of Qin." The Empress Dowager then put forward her opinion, and everyone was silent.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that King Qin was inseparable from the sudden death of the first emperor, but after Pei Shao came back, he secretly sent people to investigate, and found nothing.The King of Qin has always been cautious in his actions and will not leave traces easily. The imperial physicians who treated the late emperor and the eunuchs who served him have long been imprisoned for various things. Some committed suicide and some were beheaded. Killed by robbers on the road.

None of the relevant people were there in such a short period of time, which further confirmed the possibility of King Qin's action, but there was no evidence.

"I will find an opportunity to verify this matter. The most urgent task now is to restore normalcy." Pei Shao said.

It has only been more than two months since the death of the first emperor, and Chang'an City is already very different from before. What is most needed now is to restore normalcy.

Pei Shao had always indulged the regent and his subordinates before, and now it was time to settle the matter.

"Are you going to the court meeting in a few days? Get up earlier in the morning." On the way back to the bedroom, Pei Shao asked Bai Zimu.In recent days, there have been small court gatherings with few visitors. He plans to hold a big court meeting to gather hundreds of officials, which can be regarded as the first court meeting for him to govern.

As the new national teacher, Bai Zimu was supposed to go, but he had to get up early in the morning before dawn during the court meeting. Pei Shao was ready, but he wasn't sure if Bai Zimu was willing to get up so early.

"Go." Bai Zimu couldn't see Pei Shao's entanglement. He heard him say it was a court meeting, and remembered seeing a group of officials going to court when he first came here. It is estimated that there will be more people in the court meeting. It looks very lively. He Want to go and see.

"En." Pei Shao looked at Bai Zimu and smiled silently.

A few days later, early in the morning, when the sky was still dark, Xiao Zhuo brought several young eunuchs to knock on the door.Pei Shao woke up in a daze, responded, and before he could sit up, he heard footsteps outside, the little eunuchs came in one file at a time, all holding a lot of things in their hands, rushing in.

Bai Zimu woke up and was about to transform into clothes when he got up when Xiaoyan held him down.

"I specially prepared your official uniform today, and let them wait for you to put it on."

"I can put it on myself." Bai Zimu was impatient to do this, he only needed a moment to put on all the clothes from top to bottom, why should they put them back and forth?

"This official uniform is no different from the clothes you usually wear." Xiaoyan asked two young eunuchs to show it to Bai Zimu. Sure enough, there were layers upon layers. for.

So the two of them were waited on to wash up, and each put on the dresses they would use for today's court.Not only did Pei Shao wear a lot of clothes, but he also wore twelve strings of crowns on his head, and the bead curtain vaguely covered his face.Bai Zimu looked at him with his head tilted. Today's Pei Shao seems to have something more than before.

After tidying up, Pei Shao and Bai Zimu went to the front hall to pay their respects.The weather is already a little cold now, and the civil and military officials haven't woken up so early in a long time, so many people are shivering in the cold wind.

When they entered the hall, it was just a little warmer, but when they saw the person sitting at the head of the emperor, they couldn't help shaking again.

The national teacher was dressed in an official uniform that had just been made, and a jade crown on his head. His originally clear temperament gave birth to a bit of grace.The chair he was sitting on was not brought here randomly, but it was specially made by Pei Shao. It was spacious and comfortable, and he would not feel any discomfort even if he sat for a long time.

Now the other ministers are standing tremblingly, only Bai Zimu is sitting in front of him carelessly, many people feel as if a thorn has been stuck in their eyes when they see it, and their eyes hurt if they don't, they really can't see this look.

Among the people in court today, in terms of position and weight, there is the Regent, and in terms of seniority, there is Lin Xiang, but it turned out that Bai Zimu sat at the front.What was even more unbearable was that when everyone shouted long live, the national teacher was still sitting safely in his seat, he didn't even take off his shoes, and there was a sword on his waist.

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, after the ceremony is over, someone will stand up.

"When Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he abolished the position of national teacher. In order to show the respect of all officials to the emperor, no matter who he is, he should stand and play. Now His Majesty bestows seats on the courtiers to show sympathy for the courtiers. However, Lin Xiang, the emperor's uncle, etc. should be sympathetic. Elder, the national teacher is just a young man, can't he stand up for a mere court meeting?"

This man is an admonishing doctor, who happens to be surnamed Xue.

"What Xue Qing said is true, how do you think this seat should be arranged?" Pei Shao was not angry at all, but asked him cheerfully.

Hearing what Pei Shao said, Dr. Xue thought that the little emperor had a guilty conscience, so he followed his words.

"From now on, all those who are over sixty will be granted a seat when they go to court."

"Yes, then do as Xue Qing said." After Pei Shao finished speaking, several eunuchs moved chairs over for the veterans who were over [-] years old, and a regent who was under [-] years old was added to it.Although these chairs are different from Bai Zimu's, they don't look like they were moved here temporarily.When everyone saw this scene, how could they not guess that Pei Shao was well prepared.

"Your Majesty can be sympathetic to the old ministers, so the Emperor Gaozu must be relieved." Doctor Xue praised Pei Shao while looking at Bai Zimu.He mentioned Lin Xiang and the emperor's uncle not for them to sit down, but for Bai Zimu to stand up.

"Just now His Majesty also said that officials can be given seats when they are over sixty years old, but the national teacher is less than double ten, why can he also sit with Lin?" Doctor Xue was aggressive.

Pei Shao sat on it and watched him, while Bai Zimu finally turned his head to the doctor named Xue, looking at him expressionlessly.

"And all officials should be headed by the prime minister, and the national teacher should not sit at the front."

"Just now Xue Qing said that anyone who is over sixty can be given a seat." Pei Shao stared at Doctor Xue and said slowly.

"Naturally." Doctor Xue's heart moved, and he finally noticed something was wrong.

"Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, several national teachers are the oldest, more than six hundred years old. Should I let the national teacher sit down?"

Doctor Xue looked at Pei Shao's face and couldn't help taking a step back, his back was already wet with sweat.No wonder, the emperor was waiting for him here. He thought he was smart, but in fact he was just used by Pei Shao as a stepping stone.

"Is there anything Xue Qing doesn't understand?"

"My lord, I understand." Doctor Xue was still not reconciled, the national teacher was just a monster, not a god.But just now he mentioned King Qin in order to suppress the national teacher. Now that King Qin has lost power, what he just said just now sounds like he is on the side of King Qin.Unavoidably getting angry, he had no choice but to step back and remain silent.

Pei Shao felt relieved, looked at Bai Zimu, but Bai Zimu frowned, well, now the whole world knows that he is actually an old monster.

Bai Zimu glared at Pei Shao, but Pei Shao found it funny, and the smile on his face never faded.

Today's court meeting is very harmonious, Pei Shao is in a happy mood, although his words are gentle, but his murderous intent is clear, he has turned the original plans into reality one by one, and he has seized the mistakes of King Qin's confidant, which can be said to be the same as King Qin's. relevant.King Qin was very silent, and the ministers who were on his side did not dare to speak, for fear that Pei Shao would cause trouble for them.

Bai Zimu was happy to listen to their quarrel, thinking that it would be good to just hear the next court, but unexpectedly, near noon, the regent suddenly stood up.

"I found an expert from the people, who was taught by the immortals, and is quite proficient in some immortal arts. Nowadays, there are so many affairs of the national teacher, and it is really hard for one person to handle them. It is better to let this person assist the national teacher to lead the Qin Tianjian."
