After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 154
After two cups of tea, the two began to talk about business.

Sheng Baoling asked warmly, "How is the investigation of Pinglehou's case now?"

Although she had some rough ideas in her heart, if she didn't ask, it would look suspicious to call Pei Ci here today.

Pei Ci really thought that Sheng Baoling had summoned him to ask about Ping Lehou's case. Now that she asked about it, he explained it carefully.

Back and forth, as small as a copper plate, as large as involving the first-rank officials of the current dynasty.

Sheng Baoling narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the Lou family is going to suffer a big fall this time."

How many times in the past, the Lou family had been told to hide, but this time, it was to tell him not to turn over.

As long as Grand Master Lou is completely overthrown, and no one is around to make suggestions, the little emperor will be nothing more than that.

However, when it comes to Grand Master Lou, the little emperor should be more or less anxious. Although he doesn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters, he also knows that if something happens to Grand Master Lou, his good life will come to an end. up.

Pei Ci nodded slightly, "I don't know what plans the Empress Dowager has at that time?"

His question stopped Sheng Baoling for a while.

Sheng Baoling pursed her thin lips slightly, if Grand Master Lou were to fall, the little emperor would have no one to be around, and with the matter of Marquis Ping Le, a lot of officials in the court would be involved, it would be easy to handle him at that time.

The question is, how to deal with this matter.

Resign to give way?
Don't mention it, I have a number in my heart.

But if you just say it like this, you can't escape the word "conspiracy".

No matter how nice it is, it is always treason.

And once the big event is accomplished, no matter how successful he is, the new emperor will feel jealous.

If he wanted Pei Ci to participate in it, he would force the little emperor to abdicate to the virtuous, or he would kill the little emperor without anyone noticing, and King Jing would succeed him.

It's hard to guarantee that Jing Wang will not have murderous intentions towards Pei Ci.

For a minister who is born with a heart of treason, no matter how outstanding the life of a virtuous person is, which emperor would dare to use it.

If it was in the past, Sheng Baoling would be able to use Pei Ci against his conscience, and finally the big event would be accomplished, and then he would be given a way out and money compensation that would last a lifetime.

But now, how can she be selfish.

Maybe she didn't know Pei Ci's full of ambitions and determination to devote herself to the court and society before, but when she approached Pei Ci step by step in those dreams and got to know Pei Ci better bit by bit, she became more and more I can't bear it.

I don't even want him to end up like in a dream.

After a while, she said, "I don't have any plans yet, what does Xiang Pei think?"

"What is Ai's plan?"

Sheng Baoling quickly returned the words to Pei Ci, wanting to see what Pei Ci had to say.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ci asked back, "What does the Empress Dowager think, what about His Royal Highness Prince Jing?"

As soon as this question came out, several people present in the hall were shocked on the spot!
Especially Sheng Baoling.

Qiu Yi frowned, walked out of the hall slowly, guarded at the entrance of the hall, beware of anyone approaching when changing tea, and listened to something that shouldn't be heard.

Jian Jia lowered her eyes, but her heart was in a mess. What did Mr. Pei say? Can a servant hear these words?

Won't it be silenced?

Sheng Baoling had already had such thoughts in her disappointment with the little emperor, but she had never made up her mind, but now Pei Ci said it so directly, which surprised her, and her heart skipped a beat for a moment. .

Pei Ci just looked at Sheng Baoling intently.

As long as Ping Lehou's incident becomes serious, everything will start to be chaotic. In the chaotic world, it's time for a new king to emerge.

Things seem far away, but they are very close.

King Jing secretly cultivated and conspired with the army, which is already gradually approaching the capital, and when the time is right, he will attack the city in one fell swoop.

So today, Pei Ci must get an accurate answer from Sheng Baoling.

He knew that in his previous life, because of a promise he made to the first emperor, Sheng Baoling tolerated all kinds of things to the little emperor, always had hope, and kept another promise.

Until finally, the little emperor's thoughts and nature were completely exposed, and the courtiers were miserable, fearing that Xiang Shang's head would be lost, and the common people complained all over the place.

People are not living.

It was too late.

But this time, the matter of Ping Lehou happened first, and Sheng Baoling went south in person to find out what the little emperor had done.

In this way, he didn't know whether the current Sheng Baoling still held on to the same idea as in his previous life, keeping a promise made by the late emperor.

Pei Ci was a little nervous.

Facing Pei Ci's gaze, Sheng Baoling felt a little nervous.

After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "Prince Jing has a good character, understands the secrets of the people, is benevolent and courteous, and if he is in politics, he must be shrewd."

Since Pei Ci asked himself so unabashedly, he must have a different heart.

Naturally, Sheng Baoling would not hide any more, so he spoke out what was in his heart anyway.

However, why doesn't Pei Ci at this moment resemble the Pei Ci in his dream who is dedicated to being a courtier and is unwilling to rebel until his death?
Sheng Baoling was confused.

With Sheng Baoling's affirmative answer, Pei Ci felt a little more at ease.

"I don't know what arrangements the empress has?"

Sheng Baoling hesitated for a moment, but still said something about his current arrangements.

How many of his own people are around the little emperor, and how many of his confidantes are in the palace.

Once something happened, these people would target the little emperor.

But right now, the most important thing is that the commander of the forbidden army is not his own, and not for his own use.

She thought about trying to win her sideways, but that person just wouldn't let him in, and he was unmoved.

Sheng Baoling couldn't even be sure whether he obeyed the little emperor, or whether it was arranged by the first emperor, just to prevent such a day.

As for Sheng Baoling's worries, it was precisely Pei Ci who could solve them.

"Empress Dowager, don't worry, this person is my old acquaintance." Pei Ci said.

It's just that when he said this, Sheng Baoling had to wonder whether this was arranged by Pei Ci a long time ago.

How come such a coincidence happened, but the problem is that the commander of the imperial army was appointed by the first emperor when he was in power. If he had a good relationship with Pei Ci, or Pei Ci had arranged it long ago, what kind of intentions did Pei Ci have? These arrangements made in mind?

A few years ago, when I made good friends with the late emperor and loved each other like brothers, it was already...

Sheng Baoling didn't dare to think about it any longer, lest she thought of something that she shouldn't think about, and she would become suspicious of Pei Ci.

This is something she doesn't want.

Jian Jia at the side even wanted to tear some pieces of cloth to cover her ears. These things were not something she, a servant, could listen to.

Can't hear can't hear.

Why don't you let yourself go out first, and then talk about these big things of rebellion here.

For a while, Jian Jia didn't know whether it was because of these two big-hearted people, or because she believed in herself, or because she really didn't have the slightest sense of existence.
