Chang'an, Pei Mansion.

Sun Zhou reported to Pei Min about the news he had heard from Wang Maozhong's mansion.

"Li Jingren arrived at the palace in person, and returned alone for about a quarter of an hour."

After Ma Chong's murder case, when he was in Xu Mansion, Pei Min had already made up his mind to deal with Wang Maozhong.

After returning home from Changxingfang, he immediately called Sun Zhou and Wang Xiaobai to the mansion and asked them to help stare at Wang Maozhong.

Li Longji summoned Wang Maozhong and Wang Maozhong refused because of illness. Pei Min learned about the situation as soon as possible, even one step faster than Li Longji.

"This Wang Maozhong is really bold enough. Your Majesty summoned him. Even if he didn't want to go, there was no need to refuse with such a bad reason."

Sun Zhou did not confirm whether Wang Maozhong was sick at all.

Even those who use their butt to think will not believe that Wang Maozhong is sick under this situation.

Pei Min smiled and said, "Wang Maozhong's personality is like this, he is arrogant and self-righteous. In a sentence from my hometown, he is very imaginative and always thinks that he is unique. He can't do without him in the world."

Sun Zhou said: "I'm afraid that Wang Maozhong will not be able to recover from the incident, so do you need to transfer people back? There is no need for the young master to do anything. With his attitude, we just need to release some rumors in the market that Wang Maozhong resents His Majesty and the civil servants in the court, and some civil servants will impeach him. Even if we do nothing, Wang Maozhong's appearance will anger those civil servants who hate him and be impeached."

Pei Min stretched out a big twitch and said, "Your statement is correct, but you have ignored one thing. It has never been the key to dealing with Wang Maozhong. I really think that Wang Maozhong can be powerful and blessed until now, it depends on himself. Wrong, Wang Maozhong is rampant in the palace and offended too many people. Especially eunuchs and eunuchs... Which of them doesn't grit their teeth at Wang Maozhong? Which one has never humiliated him? But he lives well..."

Sun Zhou said in surprise: "He wiped His Majesty out of his face like this, can His Majesty tolerate him?"

"The royal family has always been strange!" Pei Min was scruples in private, and said a little ruthlessly, saying, "You are the best at guessing, but you don't understand Your Majesty, so you feel this way."

After a heart-to-heart talk with Mrs. Huayang, Pei Min further understood the situation and the emperor Li Longji.

Just as Mrs. Huayang described, Li Longji valued love the most and was the most ruthless.

Wu Jieyu is well-known for being ruthless. But Li Longji is obsessed with her and tries to rescue her from the cold palace.

Empress Wang was virtuous and kind, and had the spirit of being a mother in the world, and was praised by the civil and military officials of the court. Before Li Longji ascended the throne, Empress Wang gave Li Longji certain support.

As common sense, even if Empress Wang is not as good as her former years, as the Empress of the Palace, she should give her at least respect.

But Li Longji doesn't work here. He doesn't like it or like it, that means he doesn't even have basic respect.

Sun Zhou could not understand many of these palace details.

Pei Min didn't say anything in detail, just said, "Look, Your Majesty will most likely endure this matter. Your Majesty's tolerance for his confidant is not something that ordinary people can measure. He will give Wang Maozhong a chance until he can't bear it anymore."

Sun Zhou asked, "Then let's continue to wait?"

"Yes!" Pei Min smiled and said, "Wang Maozhong is not the kind of person who will stop when he is happy. The more His Majesty tolerate Wang Maozhong, the more Wang Maozhong will feel that His Majesty cannot live without him, and thus become more rampant. We just need to see the right time and add fuel to the fire."

************

Soon, Li Longji got the news that Wang Maozhong was sick.

"This bastard!"

Before Li Longji was addicted to enjoyment, power and talent were the first choice for the world.

How could Wang Maozhong hide his inferior perfunctory methods?

He said with a little annoyed and embarrassed: "General Gao, do you think this idiot is a real or a fake disease?"

Gao Lishi said as always: "I dare not speak nonsense. But the kingdom has always had a good face. Your Majesty openly scolded him in the court, and he must feel wronged in his heart. It is not surprising that he becomes frustrated and sick."

Li Longji snorted, "You will say good things for him. This idiot doesn't make me worry at all. It depends on what he does? If I don't scold him a few words, he thought he could still be so angry at home. Many civil servants drowned him with one spit. Now, I kindly protect him, but blame me for being on the head. This idiot has angered me to death."

Gao Lishi was very rational and didn't respond.

Li Longji was so angry that he slapped alone for a while, and slapped a few times after a while: "You ask the imperial physician to take the pulse of that idiot!"

"Yes!" Gao Lishi seemed to have known this would be the case, so he responded respectfully.

Li Longji knew that Wang Maozhong was pretending to be sick, but he still arranged for the imperial physician to treat Wang Maozhong.

Li Longji's arrangement was to reveal a piece of news to all civil and military officials, saying that Wang Maozhong was still the one he trusted and warned all officials to stop this matter and not take the blame.

It is not difficult for all officials to guess that Li Longji has such thoughts. Most people choose to remain silent and do not continue to entangle with Wang Maozhong.

However, there are finally some warriors in this world who know that they cannot do it.

Qi Cheng, the Minister of Personnel, is such a person. He figured out Li Longji's thoughts on protecting Wang Maozhong.

But he felt that Wang Maozhong was a villain, and if he was spoiled, he would be jealous. If he didn't get rid of him early, it would become a future problem.

Li Longji said a few perfunctory words and the matter was left to nothing.

Three days later, Qi Cheng transferred Li Longji out of the court and demoted him from the capital to an official in another place.

Even though Li Longji was a little dissatisfied with Wang Maozhong, he still trusted him very much. He was grateful to Wang Maozhong's achievements in Tang Yuan and protected him strictly.

Wang Maozhong was refreshed and exhaled a sigh of anger for Li Longji's blessing.

After recuperating in the mansion for a few days, he returned to the palace to show off his power.

In front of Li Longji, Wang Maozhong was still extremely respectful.

Li Longji was too lazy to argue with the idiot Wang Maozhong. In his eyes, Wang Maozhong was a jester and a person who accompanied him to relieve his troubles and relieve his burdens, rather than a minister like Pei Min and Gao Lishi who could handle matters and entrust important tasks.

The king and his subjects naturally entertain together in harmony, as if nothing had happened.

Only a few sober people know that some things are born.

You can ignore it or care, but it will never be the same as having never given birth.

************

That day, Sun Zhou came to Pei Min to the mansion: "Where is the Duke!"

Sun Zhou has been a little diligent recently and has become familiar with Ning Ze.

"It's in Jiange! You go by yourself!" Ning Ze pointed out the road directly.

Many places in the mansion are being renovated, but Jiange is the most quiet.

This Jiange was repaired by Pei Min based on the later Taoist temple. He spent a lot of effort at the beginning and was very satisfied.

During the renovation of Pei’s Mansion, Pei Min allowed the Ministry of Works to take charge of the rest of the place.

Only Jiange is not allowed to move bricks and tiles arbitrarily.

There are many things to think about recently, and Pei Min did not pretend to be Chen Shiwu and went outside to wander around. While paying attention to the movements of the court, he thought about the affairs of the Gongsun sisters.

"Young Master!"

Sun Zhou's voice came from outside.

"Wait for me!" Pei Min responded, and did not let Sun Zhou enter, but walked out of Jiange and sat opposite Sun Zhou in the hospitality cabin next to him.

Pei Min saw a smile on Sun Zhou's face and asked patiently: "But is there good news?"

Sun Zhou said: "It should be considered good news. Just one and a half hours ago, Wang Maozhong's wife was born, and she gave birth to a big fat boy."

Pei Min's eyes lit up and she said, "Madam, the wife?"

"Yes!" Sun Zhouying said: "It's the official wife of Lady Guo, Wang Maozhong is happy."

Pei Min pondered for a moment, laughed and said, "Then we will help you to make fun of it. You can do everything you can to let everyone in Chang'an know that Wang Mao Zhong had a son. In this way, the weather is particularly clear today. It is said that when Lady Guo gave birth to a child, colorful rays appeared in the sky, just like a qilin coming to the world. In the future, it will definitely be a civil and military star. Anyway, no matter how exaggerated it or how to blow it, the people will be able to do it."

Sun Zhou smiled and said, "I understand that my subordinates are in charge in this regard. Within two days of custody, everyone in Chang'an will know that Wang Maozhong gave birth to an amazing son."

Pei Min warned: "Things should be done beautifully, and don't leave any handles. Pretend to be a rumor that flows out of his heart..."

Sun Zhou could distinguish between importance and left solemnly.

Pei Min looked at Sun Zhou's back and showed a knowing smile on her face.

It is simple and difficult to deal with Wang Maozhong.

The simple reason is that Wang Maozhong is, and the difficulty is that Li Longji.

Wang Maozhong exploded at one point, and it was too easy to deal with him, but Li Longji protected him and had a great god like Li Longji to control the situation. Simple things became difficult because of this.

When dealing with Wang Maozhong, he can only be smart and not capable of fighting.

Because it was not Wang Maozhong who was fighting against him, but Emperor Li Longji.

The fate of Qi Cheng, the Minister of Personnel, proves this.

Therefore, Pei Min's plan from the beginning was to let Wang Maozhong burn himself.

Soon, various rumors spread in Chang'an about Wang Maozhong's son.

A Qilin son from the sky!

Surrounded by colorful glow!

Wenqu Star descends to earth, Wuqu Star appears...

Various versions.

The ancients believed in this kind of rumor.

Pei Min also has a deep understanding of this.

He is the first two top scholar in civil and military affairs in the world, and he is also the only one so far.

For some reason, people all described him as a civil and military star. In order to attract some "fairy spirit", the land in Fuxingfang where he lives has increased by half, and wealthy families are willing to live next to him.
