Chapter 193

The truth is this, but Pei Yun still doesn't understand how this matter has anything to do with the position of the six ministers.Also, why did the Cui family change the sacrificial text?Are they exchanging sacrificial rites for themselves or for others?

"Brother, even if His Majesty really holds a grudge because of the sacrificial oration, what does it have to do with the six books?"

Pei Ju waved his hand, "Indeed, there is no one in the Cui family who holds the title of six ministers, but the Lu family does."

"Lu Huaishen, Minister of the Household Department?" Pei Yun was startled, and hurriedly said: "But this is not right, your Majesty is dealing with the Cui family, why did you use the Lu family?"

"Good question." A sneer appeared on the corner of Pei Ju's mouth, "If I'm not wrong, the Lu family and the Cui family must be secretly supporting the prince!"

Pei Yun's pupils shrank, "So, if it's as the elder brother guessed, the exchange of sacrificial rites is actually the crown prince instructing the Cui family to do so behind the scenes."

Pei Ju nodded, "That's right, the reason why I suspect that the Lu family and the Cui family have taken refuge with the prince is because when the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was vacant, the left minister Gao Xun once recommended a person, Tang Bi, the governor of Pingyuan County!"

"In order for my virtuous brother to be transferred back, I specifically went to investigate this Tang Bi. Although this person was recommended by Gao Xun, he is actually a student of the Lu family. The Cui family also agreed to promote Tang Bi to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"In this way, these things can make sense." Pei Yun said in a deep voice: "If His Majesty really finds out about the exchange of sacrificial texts, he will know that this matter was done secretly by the prince, and he brought the Lu family and the Cui family together. It is also exposed in the eyes of His Majesty. Therefore, if Zhao Wang Shizi really finds out something in Qingzhou this time, most of those officials are related to the Qinghe Cui family, and at that time, the Cui family will definitely bear the brunt of the blow."

"If the Lu family stands up, it will be just as His Majesty wishes, and take away Lu Huaishen's Minister of the Household Department, and knock the mountain to shake the tiger to warn the prince."

Pei Ju interjected: "Your Majesty is really calculating. At the beginning, the crown prince and King Qi were in the court together. I thought His Majesty was giving them the same opportunity. I didn't expect that His Majesty just held back and waited for the opportunity. Once the Cui family Being suppressed by His Majesty, I will definitely seek help from the prince."

"But the prince never dares to lend a helping hand." Pei Yun said: "Because your majesty doesn't like the prince because of his body, and the prince secretly formed a party, your majesty must be dissatisfied with him. If the prince pleads for the Cui family, The Cui family will definitely die."

Pei Ju nodded, "That's right, but the Crown Prince dare not extend a helping hand. Only Gao Xun and the Lu family can help the Cui family, but the Lu family will not mention it. They are the potential targets of His Majesty, and only Gao Xun can save them."

"Brother, if things really get to that point and the Cui family comes to ask for help, what should we do?" Pei Yun frowned.They are also members of the Shandong gentry. At that time, the Cui family asked for help. Could it be that the Pei family could really stand by and watch?

Pei Ju chuckled, there was no smile on his old face but a kind of coldness, "Shandong gentry are in the same spirit, so who can be blamed for the fact that they didn't talk about it first. What the Lu family and Cui family are doing now is the same as what the Wang family once supported. What is the difference in the matter of King Chaoxian?"

That's right, in the final analysis this matter is up to them themselves, they didn't communicate with the Pei family in advance, and if something happens, how can they have the face to beg the Pei family to end.

"If they go to ask the Zheng family, the Cui family of Qinghe has always been on good terms with the Zheng family, and if they fail, the Zheng family will help them." Speaking of this, Pei Yun suddenly remembered something, and said: "Brother, do you think Zheng Shanyuan has seen this for a long time?" One step, is that why the Zheng family disciples are allowed to follow, the purpose is to cover up the crimes committed by the Cui family?"

Hearing this, Pei Ju thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "Probably not. If Zheng Shanyuan really knew about these things, he would definitely not let Zhao Wang Shizi go. Having said that, once the Cui family really lost his hand, Zheng Shanyuan would never help him. .”

Who is Zheng Shanyuan?

Would it be a simple person to be the head of the first family in the Central Plains?

Pei Yun nodded thoughtfully, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is really optimistic about that prince, are you so sure that the prince will be able to find out the Cui family? If you can't find out, aren't your guesses and mine today all wrong? Is it?"

In the final analysis, these are actually Pei Ju's guesses, and everything has to wait for the truth found out by the prince in Qingzhou as a basis.

But Pei Ju didn't think so, he thought for a while, and said: "There must be something we didn't think of. It is impossible for His Majesty to entrust such an important matter to Prince Zhao. His Majesty must have something to do."

Both of them thought that Jiang Chengxiao was a bait before, but now it seems that some of this bait should be true.But for such an important matter, the emperor must have arranged for a backup.

"Brother, why do you think His Majesty wanted to attack the six ministers?" Pei Yun hesitated for a moment, expressing his doubts.

As the core figures of the imperial court, the six ministers represented the interests of most of the aristocratic families.For example, Duguzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Wei Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Another example is Lu Huaishen, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Wei Shilun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and so on.

Touching these people easily will cause a lot of shock.

Pei Ju thought for a while and said, "It should be related to Qiandu, or His Majesty simply wants to use this opportunity to suppress the prince and warn us."

"Warning us?" Pei Yun was taken aback for a moment.

"Hmm." Pei Ju nodded, "Maybe His Majesty is worried that the Shandong gentry will become the second Guanzhong nobles after moving the capital, so he warned us to be quiet. Or he is now concentrating on dealing with the Guanzhong nobles and doesn't want to touch us yet. possible."

What Pei Ju lacked most now was information, most of what he guessed based on this information alone could not be confirmed, which made him very annoyed.

"Brother, what should Yuan Yan ask him to do?"

Pei Ju pondered for a while, and said: "Respond to the letter and let him decide. It doesn't matter whether Prince Zhao is the bait or not. The important thing is whether he can find out. If he can find out the truth about Qingzhou, then he is not the bait." On the other hand, if he can't find out, then he is not a bait but has become a bait, no matter what kind it is, it doesn't matter to Yuan Yan, let him help Prince Zhao with all his strength."

"Hmph, if the Cui family is really found out by this son, they deserve to die. A group of people with half a foot in the coffin can't beat a weak crown boy. Is there anything else that needs to be saved? The Shandong gentry is not missing Qinghe Cui’s will not do it.”

Pei Ju is getting more and more angry now, this group of stupid pigs is really maddening.How long has it been since the Wang family learned from the past?Isn't the appearance of the Wang family enough to make people vigilant, and the current appearance of the Guanzhong nobles is not enough to make people vigilant, what a bunch of idiots.

Is it necessary to drag the entire Shandong gentry into the water!
Thinking of this, Pei Ju said: "It seems that we have to be careful, and don't be brought into the situation of the Wang family by these fools."

Pei Yun nodded in agreement. None of them had thought of these things before. If it wasn't for Yuan Yan's letter today telling them about the change of King Zhao's son, maybe they would still foolishly think that the emperor was just cleaning up the officialdom in Qingzhou secretly.

They were all attracted by the Zheng family, but under the cover of the Zheng family, the Qinghe Cui family was not particularly obvious.

"Big Brother is really quick thinking. If it weren't for Big Brother, I'm afraid I would still think that the Lu family and the Cui family are of one mind with us." Pei Yun sighed. He has entered the center for too short a time, and he doesn't understand many things, so he can't deduce them based on these things. so many things.

If the elder brother hadn't investigated Tang Bi, how would he have known that this person was actually a student of the Lu family and was recommended by Gao Xun.The relationship between Gao Xun and the crown prince is well known throughout the court. With Gao Xun's recommendation, it is obvious who the Lu family is united with. In addition, the matter of the sacrificial ceremony has been involved in the Cui family. All these aspects are connected, and they realized that the Lu family and the Cui family The Cui family's intentions.

Pei Ju said: "Actually, I suspected that the Lu family supported the prince a long time ago, and Lu Liang, Xi Ma in the East Palace, had been serving the prince for a long time. On the surface of the sacrificial ceremony, the prince did not have an assistant priest, and his reputation was damaged, but in fact the prince walked out of the East Palace and entered the court hall Listen to the government. All these signs indicate that what happened in Chang'an City may have something to do with the crown prince, even Gao Xun."

"Only the crown prince will benefit from exchanging the sacrificial rites, so it doesn't matter who the Cui family is helping." Pei Ju slowly closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath, suddenly feeling sad in his heart.

The emperor now regards the aristocratic family as a scourge, and the bandits of the Guanzhong nobles know how to work together to keep warm, but the Shandong gentry are alienated and conceal each other. If things go on like this, there will be troubles.

Seeing his elder brother's tired expression, Pei Yun had no choice but to persuade him: "Brother, don't think too much, maybe we guessed wrong, and Prince Zhao may not be able to find out anything in Qingzhou."

"My dear brother is too naive. Regardless of whether the Prince of Zhao can find out or not, I believe that something big will happen in a while." Pei Ju said firmly.

"There is a storm in the city of Chang'an, and the double dragons can't know when they open their eyes." Pei Yun sighed.
