At the banquet, Pei Min and Li Yuanhong talked happily and had a chat without judging.

From the very beginning, Pei Min knew that Li Yuanhong was not a treacherous person, and the two were in conflict because of their different political views.

Putting aside this prejudice, Pei Min also discovered that Li Yuanhong does have the ability of a prime minister.

Although he may not be as good as a sage like Yao Chong and Song Jing, his skill is no less than Zhang Shuo.

Zhang said that he was both civil and military, while Li Yuanhong was good at administration and each had his own strengths.

Pei Min worked as an interview envoy in Hexi and Longyou for many years. He was a censor before, but half a year ago, Li Longji changed the name of the censor as an interview and disposal envoy, and was abbreviated as an interview envoy.

With many years of administrative experience and capable ministers like Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu, his level in this area has also improved very quickly.

I talked with Li Yuanhong about many administrative issues, but I was not at all awkward at all and I was able to deal with it with it with ease.

While Li Yuanhong opened his eyes, he also understood that Pei Jingyuan was both civil and military, and was not a joke.

"By the way! If you want the imperial guards to be strong, it will not be overnight. But as the saying goes, looking at their generals, knowing that their army will be irreplaceable. Therefore, there is a saying that a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. There is a general in the capital called Guo Ziyi. This person was originally recommended to Mr. Zhang, and he is definitely a talent. If he has no place to offend Li Xiang, he can use it."

Pei Min doesn't like Guo Ziyi, but Guo Ziyi's talent is unquestionable.

It would be a pity if his group of people were oppressed because of the party struggle between Zhang Shuo and Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong had really heard of the character Guo Ziyi. Zhang said that when he suffered, Guo Ziyi ran around in many ways, and offended Wang Yi and sent someone to dismissal from office.

"Who doesn't know that the prince uses people to identify people, and there is no right in the world. Guo Ziyi can get the prince's repeated recommendations, and his talent is obvious. He turned around and ordered the Ministry of Personnel to find General Guo's resume and restore his post to his official position."

He was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and it was a matter of one word to promote Guo Ziyi, and it didn't even require Li Longji's consent.

As for whether he would offend Wang Hui, how could Li Yuanhong care about so much?

Selling Pei Min for a face is far more worthwhile than offending Wang Hui.

What's more, they and Wang Hui have already broken their faces.

Looking at Li Yuanhong who was chatting and laughing happily with Pei Min, Wang Hui, who was not far away, was filled with fear and a sense of frustration.

After today's reward, Wang Hui realized the huge gap between him and Pei Min.

According to principles, this gap cannot be compensated in a short period of time. What you have to do for such a person is that even if you don’t offend him, you cannot become enemies.

After all, Pei Min’s real foundation is in He, Long, and Western Regions, and has nothing to do with himself.

Li Yuanhong is the current enemy. If he does not suppress it, he will not be able to control the power of the ruling dynasty.

But Pei Min stood in front of him and blocked the direction of his way forward.

That powerlessness leads to more jealousy and a desire to pull the high-ranking existence down from the altar.

Pull him down and stand on your own!

Wang Hui looked at the table and looked at the other table again, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

The banquet ended until midnight.

Pei Min, Li Longji and Li Yuanhong said goodbye with the officials, and quickly came to He Zhizhang's side.

"Brother He, let's go back together!"

He Zhizhang was the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, so he was naturally in the ranks of the banquet.

Pei Min never mentioned the day before yesterday, and the two left the palace together, talking gossip along the way.

There was only one way to leave Xingqing Palace, and all the officials gathered together to leave.

They did not leave Xingqing Palace until they left each other.

But without exception, most of the officials who left, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, came to say goodbye to Pei Min and gain a chance.

Pei Min lives in the same direction as He Zhizhang, but there are different streets and roads.

They walked two streets together, leaving only the two of them and their respective guards.

He Zhizhang and Pei Min rode together and said softly: "Do you know what are the three taboos as a minister?"

Pei Min said silently.

He Zhizhang continued: "The three taboos of ministers: their achievements are high, their power is strong and their talents are strong, and their talents are great. For those who are kings, this is the case. If you are such a person, even if you have no ambitions, what will the civil and military officials in the court think? Your Majesty has a good trust in Jingyuan, but he will die. If Your Majesty dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, can he treat you as always as Your Majesty now?"

"My brother is only thirty-five, and is still under forty years old. He is already at the top of the minister. His disciples and old friends are everywhere in the world, which is definitely not just empty talk. If he is a treacherous, it will naturally be a great harm to the world. If he is a Wang Mang in the past, he will be a big mistake, just like Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty. Regarding the current situation, the old brother is ignorant of talent and cannot understand the future at all. My brother is a thousand times more talented than his elder brother. I believe you will find a perfect method."

He Zhizhang was an orthodox scholar, and he was an official of the Ministry of Rites, so he was self-righteous.

The so-called three pillars, king and minister, father and son, husband and wife.

The king and the minister are still above the father and son.

As a minister, how can you discuss the aftermath of the monarch?

As the head of the Ministry of Rites, how can He Zhizhang not understand this truth?

It is because he understands this truth very well that He Zhizhang said this, and he really cares about Pei Min's future.

Pei Min could feel He Zhizhang's care and smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have some considerations about these. But now is not the time..."

Pei Min sent He Zhizhang back to his mansion and returned to his residence.

After He Zhizhang returned to his home, his confidant manager came up and said softly: "Master, Xiao Tang is here, waiting for the master in the study."

He Zhizhang nodded and strode towards the study room with a solemn strode.

"master!"

Xiao Tang is a young young man. He Zhizhang is open-minded and a fairy figure who doesn’t care about his own official position, does not form cliques, and is content with his own sermons.

He Zhizhang did not have any invisible strength. Xiao Tang was a servant of the He Mansion. Because his loyal ministers were diligent in transferring He Zhizhang to Luoyang to find Xu Ming's traces.

"How is it! Did Xu Ming's whereabouts be found?"

He Zhizhang asked nervously.

Xu Ming's father is his close friend. If his old friend loses his beloved son because of his problems, he will be a great sin...

He Zhizhang himself never thought that the matter would be so ruined.

When Li Longji enthroned Concubine Yang as Concubine Yang, He Zhizhang opposed it.

Concubine Yang was so abrupt that she didn't understand her identity and background clearly. She was promoted to Concubine Jie in just a short time.

This is completely inconsistent with the ritual system. Although he chose to compromise under Gao Lishi's persuasion, he finally felt a knot in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.

Just as Pei Min commented, He Zhizhang did not have compassion for the world.

He is open-minded and unrestrained, fresh and elegant than the world. He prefers drinking and having fun, and is casual in the mountains and forests with his drinkers.

But he will handle matters within his power, and will never let down his official skin.

Concubine Yang was terrible, greedy for money and domineering, and won the favor of the emperor. After becoming a concubine, she indulged her brothers in Chang'an and did not look like a lady from a noble family at all.

Moreover, Concubine Yang also has the intention to be promoted to the Four Concubines.

He Zhizhang could not sit idly by. The four concubines refer to noble, virtuous, and virtuous. Among them, noble means honor, which means that a person's spiritual realm is noble and noble, worthy of respect. As for virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous, needless to say, the literal meaning is.

How can Concubine Yang be qualified to be one of the four words "noble, noble, virtuous, and virtuous"?

He Zhizhang sent someone to Luoyang to investigate Yang Jieyu's origin to see if she is qualified to accompany the emperor.

This was his first time to send someone. Since He Zhizhang sent someone, there has been no news about him.

He Zhizhang also realized some problems. At this time, Concubine Yang did something to occupy the magpie's nest.

Yang Jieyu Zhang Kuang Wuji's style of conduct has become more firm in He Zhizhang's desire to continue investigating.

He Zhizhang was in his position and planned his affairs. As the Minister of Rites, he could not sit idly by the evil spirit of the country because of the compromise and concessions of the Ministry of Rites, and harmed the world.

He Zhizhang gave up the investigation on the surface, but secretly asked his nephew Xu Ming to take the opportunity to go home to visit relatives to investigate the matter secretly.

Xu Ming, who is worthy of Xu Yougong's grandson, found some clues and made a terrible guess.

But the matter was too horrible and there was no definite evidence, so He Zhizhang could only ask Xu Ming to continue investigating.

But after that, He Zhizhang once again lost all the news about Xu Ming.

As a last resort, He Zhizhang arranged for someone to go to Luoyang for the third time.

However, the purpose of going to Luoyang was not to investigate the matter, but to find Xu Ming's traces.

Xiao Tang shook his head with a little fear and said, "No, the young man did not find any trace of Director Xu. It's not just him, but the whole family of Director Xu disappeared. They have asked in and outside the village, and they are curious about this matter, and there is no news about them. The young man also found out that many people were looking for Director Xu's whereabouts. Director Xu's neighbor said that many people were asking Director Xu and the whereabouts of his family."

He paused and said, "And, there is. When he came back, the little one was captured by someone."

He Zhizhang's expression froze and said sternly: "Do you know who it is?"

Xiao Tang said with a sad face: "I don't know who it is. He is resting in the inn, but when he wakes up, he falls in the wilderness. They say nothing, just a letter in their arms..."

He said that, and handed the letter from his hand to He Zhizhang with a trembling trembling.

He Zhizhang took the letter with a slight face. The content in the letter was very simple, just a few short words, so he didn't need to meddle in other people's business.

With a sneer, He Zhizhang held the letter in his hand and tore it into pieces.

The next morning!

He Zhizhang went out on time as always, and more than ten guards were also walking with him.
