Han Dao world

Chapter 168 Want to add a crime
Pei Mao looked at the wooden slip in his hand in a daze, Zhao Wen yelled twice before he realized it.

Zhao Wen was very uncomfortable.

In front of so many people, Pei Mao pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't give him face. Did he think that the emperor would go to Hedong, and the people of Hedong would be able to look down on the world, or did he think that his son Pei Qian became a close minister of the emperor, and wealth could be expected?
"Lingjun, what's the matter?" Zhao Wen lowered his eyelids, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea.

Pei Mao bowed his hands in salute, with a shame on his face. "Situ, just now I was in doubt, lost my mind for a while, and I was rude.

"What doubts do you have? Let's hear it." Zhao Wen raised his eyelids, showing Situ's majesty.

Pei Mao is more than ten years younger than him, and his official position is even worse.If it wasn't for Shangshutai being one of the three stations and being an important member of the inner court, Pei Mao wouldn't even be qualified to participate in this meeting.Even if you participate, you can only observe and are not qualified to speak.

Pei Mao raised the wooden slip in his hand. "What's the purpose of the Son of Heaven sending me a copy of the record of meeting Guo Tu?"

Zhao Wen frowned, his lips moved, and the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.

Needless to say, he was also a little puzzled by this.

It is not surprising that the emperor received Guo Tu and sent Guo Tu to the Court Prison because Guo Tu did not have the courtesy of a monarch and minister.Guo Tu was punished for the crime, but it was not a common practice for the emperor to send a copy of the real record to the minister.

What does the emperor want to express?
Seeing that Zhao Wen was silent, Zhang Xi couldn't help but speak.

"What other intentions are there? Your Majesty is magnanimous and sincere to us."

Pei Mao bowed his hands and saluted. "What Sikong said is true, Mao has been taught."

Zhang Xi snorted, with a look of disdain.If you want to praise the emperor, just say it, what kind of tricks are you playing.

Pei Mao said again: "Your voted me a peach, shouldn't we return it with a plum?"

"It's natural..."

As soon as Zhang Xi spoke, his sleeve was pulled.He turned to look at Zhao Wen.Zhao Wen stared at Pei Mao with lightning-like eyes.

"Lingjun's words mean that we are deceiving you?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed immediately, and they all looked at Pei Mao in unison.

Your father and son want to flatter the emperor, that is your father and son's business, but dragging everyone into the water, and even falsely accusing them of crimes, this is unbearable.

Pei Mao was taken aback, and quickly shook his head in denial. "Situ's words are serious. I just thought, if we discuss it here, can we also record it truthfully and submit it to the emperor, so that it will be recorded in the annals of history and commented by future generations?"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Wen was stunned, staring at the teacup in his hand, and did not speak for a long time.

Everyone's eyes also retreated, some bowed their heads in silence, some looked around, but no one answered Pei Mao's words.

It is already very difficult to record truthfully and present it to the emperor.

What's more, it will be recorded in history and commented by later generations.

Saying bad things, words are like the wind, piercing the ears and entering the heart, without evidence.If it is turned into words and recorded in a letter, if someone sees a little selfishness, not only will it be a loss of reputation now, but it will also be infamous for thousands of years in the future.

Thinking of this, the memorandum in front of me was like burning coals, hot to the touch.

Shi Sun Rui's eyes flickered, thoughtful.

Seeing this scene, Pei Mao didn't chase after him any more. "Situ Fang just wanted to ask about He Dong?"

Zhao Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Pei Mao was quite stable and did not force them to express their opinions in public.

"Exactly. The Son of Heaven intends to go to Hedong to attack the Xiongnu. As a native of Hedong, do you think it is possible?"

"No." Pei Mao vetoed without thinking.

Zhao Wen looked at Pei Mao in surprise.He originally thought that Pei Mao would be eager to support the emperor, but he never expected that Pei Mao would directly oppose the emperor's opinion.

"tell me the story."

Pei Mao said unhurriedly: "Everyone should remember that these Huns were fighting within the clan. Shan Yu lost his position and came to the court to ask for help. It coincided with the death of the first emperor, and the powerful ministers were in disorder. The court was too busy to take care of itself. The Xiongnu People have no way to advance or retreat, and they seek to return to the country but fail, so they stay in Pingyang. Although there are plunders, there is no crime of treason, and it is enough to send envoys to reprimand, and there is no need to crusade."

Zhang Xi looked at Shaofu Tian Fen, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Tian Fen's face became even more ugly, and she couldn't help but said: "The emperor said, Hedong is the land of three generations of Longxing, Pingyang is the hometown of Weihuo, and it cannot be polluted by the Huns. No matter whether the Huns are guilty or not, they must withdraw. Hedong. If the Huns do not retreat, they are resisting the imperial edict, and the emperor has a reason to punish them."

Pei Mao smiled. "If the Huns wear my Chinese clothes and learn the etiquette of a great man, will they no longer have a smell?"

With that said, Pei Mao turned to Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi with bright smiles.

Zhang Xi's heart tightened, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.He immediately covered his belly, got up and said: "I'm ashamed, I feel uneasy in my stomach, I'm sorry for a moment." He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and ran out of the tent with his shoes on.

Zhao Wen took a step back, looked at the swaying tent door, and cursed involuntarily.

"This old man, how fast he escaped!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but because of etiquette, no one was willing to laugh first, and they all blushed.

After a while, someone couldn't help but laughed out loud.

In an instant, wild laughter erupted in the big tent.

Everyone in the tent knew that Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi were ordered to discipline Li Shi, and it became a joke.

Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing either.

"Everyone, wait for the schadenfreude. It's not just me and Sikong's responsibility to educate the people, how can you stay out of it?" Zhao Wen waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then glanced at the smiling and silent scholar Sun Rui. "Jun Rong, don't laugh either. Whether you are Weiwei or Taiwei, you have the responsibility to educate."

Shi Sunrui laughed and said, "I'm busy with military affairs, so Situ and Sikong should bother me more about enlightenment."

"you……"

"Of course, if you feel that the Huns are not good at speaking, you need to teach them a lesson by force first, and we have a duty to do so."

Zhao Wen put away his smile. "Do you also agree with the emperor's crusade against the Huns?"

Shi Sun Rui nodded, his expression returned to seriousness, and his eyes turned to the wooden slips on the case. "Although the Huns did not rebel against the Han, they plundered the people. They were the first to cause disaster. Hearing that the emperor was forced by Li Jue and did not lead his troops to follow the king, it is not innocent. The emperor sent an envoy to blame him. If he can wake up, Naturally it is the best. If you are stubborn, you will naturally be punished to show that the imperial court has its own laws and should not be violated lightly."

Zhao Wen stared at Shi Sun Rui, rolled his eyes, and fell silent.

A chuckle came from the corner.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Zhou Zhong, the former Taiwei, who is now Doctor Guanglu.

Zhou Zhong stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Wei Wei is a heroic hero, worthy of being a famous scholar in Guanzhong. It's just that the Northern and Southern Army has just reached its full strength, and I'm afraid it's not strong enough to conquer the Huns. I heard that in the past two days, relevant Chinese heroes have been joining the army. Why don't Wei Wei wait a few days until the Northern and Southern Army recovers?" The scale of Xiaowu's time, and then the story of Xiaowu's conquest of the barbarians?"

Everyone suddenly changed color.

Shi Sunrui stroked his beard, pondered for a long time, and sighed softly, his originally upright body slowly relaxed, bending like a bow.

Zhou Zhong turned to look at Pei Mao. "Juguang, when did Hedong take pride in Wei Huo? Juguang wants to be proud of his county and cling to famous ministers, but he doesn't need to cling to such lucky ministers who are despised by Tai Shigong."

Pei Mao cupped his hands in embarrassment and remained silent.
