Chapter 92: Is Jiawei here?

"This……"

Pei Yulin frowned, "This will shake the foundation of the Great Zhou!"

"The foundation of the Great Zhou cannot be shaken by a small rumor."

Pei Yanli looked at him and said, "Brother, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Besides, if you don't seize this last opportunity, the throne may really be out of your reach."

These words made Pei Yulin waver.

On one side is the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
On one side is the throne,

The tug and tug of war between the two sides makes people unable to calm down for a long time.

"Third brother, please go back first and let me think about it carefully."

He sighed and waved to Pei Yanli. After everyone left, he stood in his room for a long time.

now,

He felt very complicated and decided to go out for a walk.

The lakeside of the prince's mansion is not small, with rockery, flowing water, pavilions, clusters of flowers... Just as Pei Yulin was leaning against the rockery thinking about something, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the other side of the rockery.

The servant next to him was about to remind him,
Stopped by Pei Yulin.

The two people inside were still unaware and kept talking to themselves, "Now that the eldest prince's succession to the throne is set in stone, you and I chose to follow the second prince. What should we do now?"

"Alas, I didn't think carefully at the beginning. I thought the Second Prince had a better chance of becoming the heir, so I wanted to get some benefits by following His Highness. Now the two factions have been fighting each other for a long time, and the Second Prince has lost his hope of becoming the heir. Now I don't know if there is still a future for you and me."

Before the two of them spoke,
All worried.

Then another person continued: "I heard that the eldest prince is ruthless. The loyal and filial prince who just came here knows that the eldest prince wanted to kill him completely. If he really became the emperor,
Our Highness himself...

well! "

The person who spoke sighed heavily, which instantly brought back Pei Yulin's memory.

Pei Jingcheng was really capable of killing his brothers. Now that their father was still alive, he might not do it to himself out of consideration for his father.

But if a hundred years later,
My father has passed away.

What should I do?

If Pei Jingcheng becomes the emperor by then, won't he and his mother's family become fish at the mercy of others?
If the Great Zhou lost him and his mother clan, what kind of Great Zhou would it be?
in a moment,

Pei Yulin, who was originally hesitant, has made a decision.

He turned and left, and sent someone to call Pei Jingcheng back.

"Brother Royal."

Pei Yanli bowed to him and said, "I am honored to have your change of heart, my brother."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Pei Yulin glanced at him, then lowered his voice: "Is your plan... reliable?"

"of course."

Pei Yanli nodded, "I will definitely not joke about my future. When my brother enters the East Palace, please say a few good words for me in front of the emperor."

Hearing this,

Pei Yulin was relieved.

Although the third son is smart, he no longer has the right to inherit the throne. Even if he is smart and capable, he will have to rely on himself in the future.

"You and I are brothers. If this is accomplished, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

……

Within the capital

Pei Jingcheng found that public opinion was becoming increasingly out of control. Even though his people had tried very hard to control the situation, public opinion was still rampant.

It seemed that there was a force somewhere that was fighting against him.

After investigation, it was discovered that someone was actually interfering!

Just as he was preparing for a more in-depth investigation, the aristocratic Zhang Tian family was ambushed overnight.

Some people even posted poems all over the front door of Li's house:

Until autumn comes on September ,
After my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed.

This poem,
From a storybook.

The story in the book tells that a scholar named Huang Chao faced various injustices on his way to job hunting and study. He was so sad that he wrote this poem in anger to fight against the corrupt officials. Now it is a metaphor that after the people are oppressed, they rise up to resist and the country will fall.

This matter is too serious.

The situation was so serious that Emperor Wenxuan was furious and threw the memorial in Pei Jingcheng's face: "Look at what's written on it?! I gave this matter to you, and this is how you do it?!"

Pei Jingcheng didn't dare to hide at all. He picked up the memorial and said, "Father, I have investigated and found that someone must be interfering in this matter!"

"Don't make excuses here."

Emperor Wenxuan interrupted his explanation and said, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. What is there to explain?"

At this moment,
The palace servants came running in from outside and reported anxiously, "Your Majesty, Prince Zhongxiao wants to see you!"

"Didn't I tell you, Prince Zhongxiao, that you are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned?"

Emperor Wenxuan was about to tell him to go back, but when he looked at Pei Jingcheng who was being held accountable, he suddenly realized something, "What did he do?"

"Prince Zhongxiao has caught the murderer who killed Lord Zhang's family."

Pei Jingcheng was held accountable.

He caught the murderer right away.

This is really fast. Upon hearing this, Emperor Wenxuan sneered and said, "Call him in."

He wanted to see what his good son was up to.

Pei Yanli stepped into the hall again. These days, his temperament has settled down and he seems calm. He looked at Emperor Wenxuan without looking away, approached him step by step, and then knelt down next to Pei Jingcheng.

"Your son pays homage to the emperor."

He bowed his head and nodded, then glanced at Pei Jingcheng lightly: "Your Majesty, I caught this man by chance, and after questioning, I learned that he had committed the heinous crime of murdering Mr. Zhang's family.

I have sent it here for your Majesty’s disposal.”

"Have a heart."

Emperor Wenxuan nodded, his face showing no displeasure, but he also didn't show too much joy. "Since the mastermind has been caught, he will be beheaded in front of the Meridian Gate tomorrow to serve as a warning to others."

Pei Yanli heard this and said again: "Father, if this matter is closed hastily, it may be difficult to appease the public resentment. By then, all officials in the capital will be in danger, fearing that they will become the second Zhang family.

I think we should send someone to listen to the people's demands.
Governance from the root cause
It is better to unblock than to block. "

At this time, a minister asked: "King Zhongxiao, do you have a solution for what you said?"

Pei Yanli nodded, "Father, please let me have a try!"

Things have developed to this point now, how can Emperor Wenxuan not allow the trial?
He nodded slightly to indicate his approval.

He lowered his eyes, hiding all his worries. However, the ring on his thumb, which was constantly turning, revealed that his heart was not at peace at the moment.
"Then let Prince Zhongxiao try, but I want to see the results within three days."

"Your Majesty, you don't need three days. Tomorrow will be enough."

Emperor Wenxuan looked down upon hearing this. His son suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and said with a smile, "Okay!"

When Ji Nanxing learned what happened to Pei Yanli in the court, he turned on his eavesdropping device.

When she was about to fall asleep with her headphones on, she suddenly heard two throat-clearing coughs, and then asked, "Is Jia Wei here?"
