She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 75 Rebellion 1
Pei Peng is sitting in the study and secretly calculating how much unexpected income she has gained during this period, and how much future annual income she can increase. After she has figured it out, she is going to buy food, medicine and people to support her daughter.

Although she has not found out who is behind the scenes to induce the barbarians to cause trouble in her fiefdom, no matter who it is, it is always right to fight back.

Speaking of shopping...

Pei Peng suddenly remembered something. Some time ago, Cheng Fei told her about the abnormal price of grain in a certain place and the purchase of a large amount of grain. However, there have been many major events recently, and Pei Peng didn't pay much attention. Now that I remembered it, She sent someone to ask again.

Pei Peng worked piecemeal for half a morning. Just when he wanted to take a rest, he heard someone report that someone was coming from the palace.

Someone from the palace?Pei Peng glanced at the hourglass, it should be at the Great Court Meeting or just finished, right?

Only then did she realize that it seemed that the matter was about to be settled.

Sure enough, the palace servant did invite her into the palace.

The visitor was not familiar to Pei Peng. He was newly promoted by Pei Wei after he ascended the throne. However, it is always right to use money to pave the way. Pei Peng handed over a purse and heard him vaguely mention the current situation on the way into the palace. status.

Pei Peng felt confident and probably knew what Pei Wei wanted her to say, so he felt more relaxed when he entered the palace.

The Great Court Meeting was over, and the crimes against Pei Rong and his party were basically settled. Pei Wei and several ministers were transferred to the Small Court Meeting for the sake of some inconvenient criminal evidence—to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

This was Wang Shu's suggestion. Based on Pei Wei's original intention, he really wanted to beat his fifth brother to death during the court meeting, but Wang Shu persuaded him, and Pei Wei rarely listened.

Pei Peng heard about this from the servants, and the courtiers were quite satisfied with Wang Shu's persuasion behavior. After all, the embarrassment of the royal family also represented the incompetence of the courtiers in a sense.

It seems that she is doing well in the palace, Pei Peng thought.

She can finally give Wang Yin an explanation.

It's just that it's a pity that Pei Peng thought he would be able to set foot in the Dachaohui, but he didn't expect to be able to make the trip. I don't know when the next time I have the chance, when will it be?

The evidence that cannot be disclosed to the public is a forged jade seal and a tiger charm that can only be passed down in the hands of emperors of the past dynasties.

Even though Pei Peng was prepared in his heart, when he saw the two items on the tray, he still looked at Pei Wei in amazement at the first moment—it's so big?Do you really want to not give him any blood?
Pei Wei was a little embarrassed, and lowered his eyes to avoid Pei Peng's sight.

Of course he knew that Pei Peng knew it was a lie, and he even knew that the ministers below must also be dubious.

But this is indeed a good opportunity. In the hands of the people left by the late emperor, there are also people who are very good at imitation, and the work is still very fast.

He couldn't hold back, so he asked someone to make a copy, thinking it would be in case of emergency.

But he couldn't hold back, and handed the tiger talisman to Commander Shao, and asked him to send his confidants to take advantage of the chaos and put it into the secret compartment of the Fifth Prince's study.

But he couldn't hold back, so he asked the hidden guard left by the first emperor to secretly put the jade seal in it.

In short, the current fifth prince is not just an outlaw who tried to kill and set fire to attack the emperor's wedding guard of honor.

He is still a certain rebel who seriously endangers national security.

The ministers sitting on both sides of the hall silently watched the jade seal on the tray in a circle. The dazed atmosphere was interrupted by Pei Peng's footsteps. They looked up and nodded to Pei Peng.

Prime Minister Li Xun took the initiative to ask Pei Wei:

"Your Majesty, let Princess Chengyang tell you how she found out that the criminal Pei Kui forged the jade seal without permission."

Pei Peng couldn't help but continue to stare at Pei Wei - do you really want to play so big?Let me alone prove the truth of this matter?I'm afraid you are planning to kill me next time...

Pei Wei coughed lightly and added:
"Sister Huang didn't find out directly. She accidentally saw Yuxi mentioned in the correspondence between them at the sinner Pei Rong, so she informed me."

Pei Peng felt a little relieved. It seemed that Pei Wei had done the ideological work of Pei Rong and asked her to identify him. He only needed to prove it from the outside.

Sure enough, when Li Xun heard this, he immediately said:
"Then please show your Majesty the letter to the public."

Cheng Guogong, as a hereditary duke who holds the military power in his hands, was also present, and he choked back impatiently:

"The jade seal was found from Pei Kui's study, as was the tiger charm. This is enough to prove Pei Kui's ambition. What is the purpose of the prime minister insisting on holding on to a letter? Could it be possible that he and the princess are cheating together? ?”

Congratulations, Duke Cheng, you guessed it right.

Li Xun did not entangle with Cheng Guogong, but continued to say to Pei Wei:
"I am not doubting your majesty or the princess, but the crime of rebellion is of great importance. It involves not only Pei Kui and Pei Rong's family, but also their relatives. If we really count, I am afraid there are more than tens of thousands of people. So, The lives of many people must be taken very seriously.”

Although Pei Peng's status is higher than most of the people present, she can only be an auditor at the Xiaochao meeting. She sits at the last seat and listens to the speeches of Li Xun and Cheng Guogong, and she understands their respective intentions .

Obviously, Cheng Guogong, as the first batch of nobles who supported Pei Wei to stabilize the throne, now sent his granddaughter to the palace, and was happy to support his grandson-in-law's actions, anyway, he couldn't be blamed.

As for Li Xun, he doesn’t want to make things too big?

On the one hand, there is a traitor who has forged jade seals nearby, and he will inevitably be criticized as a prime minister—this is an era when the prime minister resigns to calm things if it doesn't rain.

On the other hand, as he said, Pei Kui and Pei Rong have rebelled to this extent. Pei Rong may be okay and not be implicated too much, but Pei Kui can implicate many people, including Li Xun's in-laws and old friends. But it's very possible.

If it was really Pei Kui's death, then that's fine, but Li Xun didn't fully believe it, so naturally it didn't mean that Pei Wei acted so ruthlessly and extremely.

And the thoughts of these two people also represent the different opinions of the courtiers present.

Pei Peng saw that the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked, and Pei Wei hesitated to speak, so he tentatively put forward his opinion:

"Prime Minister, I did see the letter by chance in the second emperor's sister's house. Although it didn't mention what to do with the jade seal, it was a bit weird for the prince and princess to mention the jade seal. I just mentioned it to your majesty.

Now that the physical evidence is all there, there can be no mistakes.I'm not going to use this kind of thing to frame my brothers and sisters, and I don't have the ability to forge jade seals, which is a crime of extermination.

As for Your Majesty, even if there is no jade seal and tiger talisman, if the actions of the five emperor brothers and the others succeed, in such a season, not only will the fire in the inner city be difficult to control, but it will also discredit the royal family and the court?

Injuring the mother of the country and ruining the emperor's wedding are enough to be regarded as treason, so there is no need for your majesty to add any more weight to their treason charges. "

Li Xun knew that what Pei Peng said made sense, but he still felt that Pei Kui and Pei Rong had not even managed to conquer the city with an army, so he was a little anxious now that they were forging jade seals that would ruin all their previous achievements as soon as they were discovered.

In other words, it's not like normal people do.

That is to say, Li Xun didn't say this, otherwise Pei Peng would really like to echo - yes, it's really not a normal person's practice to make such illogical perjury.

But now that the matter has come to this, Pei Peng can only continue to find compensation for Pei Wei:
