The National Teacher is a Rabbit Spirit

"Without spiritual power, I have a way to deal with this monster, Zimu, just watch." Pei Shao was full of confidence. Recently, the relationship between Zhengyan and the regent has become more and more tense, and it's time to close the net.

Before Bai Zimu could figure out what was going on, when he heard footsteps outside, he turned into a little snake and wrapped around Pei Shao's wrist.

"Your Majesty, the list of guards has been drawn up. There are portraits, family background and personality of each person beside it. You can pick twenty of them as guards, and the rest will be placed in the imperial guards." Lin Cong held in his hand. Looking at the list of guards, he entered the door and glanced, and found that Bai Zimu was not there, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"En." Pei Shao pulled down his sleeves, took the list from Lin Cong, and opened it to look at the first few.Lin Cong selected all the children of the officials' families above the fifth rank, all of whom were younger than Pei Shao, and all of them were selected from the best in appearance.

"I'll take a look at some time, and someone will give you the one I chose." Pei Shao put down the list and looked at Lin Cong's new clothes today.He has recently been promoted again, and if he works harder, he may be eligible to go to court within a few years.Recalling the scene of the two studying together back then, it seemed like a lifetime away.

"When I went to greet my mother this morning, Concubine Lin also mentioned your marriage. I heard that you didn't like the young ladies selected by Prime Minister Lin for you, so Concubine Lin asked my queen to look after you for you." Pei Shaoti Thinking about other people's marriage problems, he gloated at Lin Cong.

"I wanted to ask His Majesty how to decline a forced marriage today. After all, Your Majesty has experience. I didn't expect His Majesty to make fun of me first." Lin Cong was exceptionally calm and shifted the focus to Pei Shao.It is normal to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. Pei Shao was often urged, and he has never had a princess, thanks to his many reasons.

"When a male college is getting married, if Zihui has someone he likes, he can tell me, and I will naturally make the decision for you. Lin Xiang is not an unenlightened person, and if you like it, he will not make things difficult for you." Pei Shao guessed that Lin Cong already had a sweetheart, Perhaps it was because of the identity of the woman that he couldn't speak.

As soon as he spoke, Lin Cong fell silent. He had been looking at Pei Shao, but now he lowered his head and avoided his gaze.

Seeing that his reaction was abnormal, Pei Shao thought about it and asked him.

"Could it be that you also like men?" Pei Shao couldn't think of any other reason. He kept rejecting it because he was not interested in women. Could it be that Lin Cong is the same?But they had known each other for so many years, and he had never noticed it.

"No." Lin Cong's tone was a little hasty, "I just want to start a business first and then get married. I'm not in a hurry to get married."

"That's fine, I'll talk to my mother tomorrow and persuade Concubine Lin." Pei Shao put his hand under the table and stroked his wrist, "Now I want to start a family first, and starting a career is really a long way road."

Getting married is also a long road, Pei Shao thought in his heart, the person who got married was wrapped around his wrist, but he didn't know if the other party would agree or not.It has snowed a few times recently, almost to the point where the dripping water turns into ice. After Bai Zimu turned into a little snake, he always clings to him to sleep, probably in hibernation.

Lin Cong and Pei Shao chatted about recent interesting things for a while. After he left, Pei Shao touched Bai Zimu and always felt that Lin Cong's attitude towards him was weird, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of anything strange. Where.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Pei Shao put the matter aside for the time being. Half a month later, after the selection of guards was finished, there seemed to be no change in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the Regent is asking to see you." Pei Shao was bored with the official documents when he saw Xiao Zhuo come in to report.He turned his eyes and looked around the entire room.The national teacher came together this morning, but suddenly disappeared at this moment, the national teacher is really elusive.

"Let him in." After Pei Shao reviewed the paperwork in his hand, he heard the regent's footsteps. The regent walked up to Pei Shao and knelt down in front of Pei Shao.

"May your majesty be the master." The regent was trying to restrain his emotions, but his red eyes and the bulging veins on the back of his hands had already shown his anger.

"Uncle, don't worry, speak slowly." Pei Shao waited for so long, and he could guess what happened, but he still pretended to be curious and asked the regent to explain the ins and outs.

"Yesterday, the tea in my house was poisoned. Fortunately, I didn't drink it. It's just that the servant at home drank the pot of tea greedily. Within an hour, he bled to death from his seven orifices." The regent's face was very serious.

"Did the uncle find out who poisoned him?" Pei Shao asked in cooperation with the regent.

"Yesterday, I ordered people to investigate who had touched the tea, and found the same poison in the cook's place at home. The cook also confessed to this matter. The person who gave her the poison was not someone else, but the national teacher." The regent finished. , narrowing his eyes slightly to see how Pei Shao reacted.

"Perhaps she got it wrong." Pei Shao said with a smile, "If the national teacher wants to prescribe medicine to the emperor's uncle, why use other people's hands? Presumably, he instructed the cook to frame him. It's kind of clumsy."

Pei Shao felt that Bai Zimu had raised his head, maybe he wanted to bite the regent.In fact, the regent was not spitting blood, because the person who prescribed the medicine was indeed related to Bai Zimu, and the person who ordered the medicine was none other than Pei Shao.The regent probably also guessed it, so he came to test it out, but it was a pity that Pei Shao didn't accept it at all.

"I also thought so, so I asked her who gave her the poison. She said that he was a young man with a handsome appearance, and he did not speak with a Chang'an accent."

"Zimu speaks with an authentic Chang'an accent, does the Emperor have someone to suspect?" Pei Shao asked.He did ask people to give the cook gold and silver money to let her drug the regent, but the person who joined him was not the boy the regent said, but a middle-aged woman.After listening to the regent's description, he found it more and more interesting, so he continued to ask.

"I couldn't guess who this person was at first, but Taoist Master Zhengyan sent his apprentice to the palace last night. He happened to match the cook's description, and he didn't have a Chang'an accent. So I asked the cook to identify him, and it turned out to be this little Taoist boy." .”

"This little Taoist boy is only in his teens. He knows something. He must have been instructed by Taoist Master Zhengyan to do such a thing. The minister has already sent that Taoist boy down, and he has confessed and signed his signature." The regent took out a A piece of paper with Xiaodaotong's confession and fingerprints on it.

"Daoist Zhengyan is a member of the national teacher after all, so I ask your majesty to arrest him and put him in prison, and deal with it according to the national law." The regent finally stated his purpose, and his eyes were fixed on Pei Shao's movements.

Pei Shao took the thin piece of paper in his hand, read it roughly, and knew the contents.It doesn't matter whether this thing is true or not. The most important thing is that the regent wants Taoist Zhengyan to die. For him, if a chess piece can't be used by him, it must be completely disposed of.

Therefore, even if he knew that Pei Shao had someone poison him, and that Pei Shao's purpose was to get rid of Taoist Zhengyan, he had to cooperate with him.The regent was holding back his anger, and since he couldn't vent it on Pei Shao, he could only vent his anger on Taoist Zhengyan.

"If this matter is really as the emperor said, I will definitely deal with it in a proper manner. Please be safe and don't be impatient. I will arrange people to investigate as soon as possible."

"Then I will thank Your Majesty first. I believe that Your Majesty will give me justice." The regent retreated after finishing speaking. Just as he left, Bai Zimu appeared.

The national teacher sat where the regent sat just now, still thinking about the conversation he just heard.

During this time, Taoist Zhengyan has been working for Qin Tianjian. Pei Shao often summoned him and rewarded him with property, but the regent could not kill Pei Shao and Bai Zimu with his poison. The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.

But Pei Shao felt that the time had come, so he sent someone to collude with the Prince Regent's Mansion to poison him. After the Prince Regent found out, he guessed that it was Pei Shao who did it, but no one would believe him.It just so happened that he had no chance to get rid of Zhengyan, and when he received Pei Shao's slander, he felt upset, so he could only go downhill, blame Zhengyan for the poisoning, and play this scene with Pei Shao.

It's a pity that although Taoist Zhengyan has ambitions, he has no strength, so he got involved in the dispute between the two and became cannon fodder.

"What the regent cares about is not the facts, but what kind of facts are useful to him." Bai Zimu said slowly, keeping his eyes on Pei Shao.

"Yes." Pei Shao stretched out his hand to touch his head, seeing his complacent expression, he couldn't help laughing.

"That's why he was clever and was mistaken by cleverness."
