Fang Jun licked his short mustache and said with a smile: "The governor came to the door himself. If we don't entertain him warmly, wouldn't it be a waste of his good intentions?"
Ashina Zhong looked confused. Just now you two were quarreling with each other and Pei Huaijie had a direct showdown. Do you still want to treat me warmly?
After all, Li Tai's mind was spinning faster. After a moment's thought, he suddenly realized what he was thinking and his eyes widened: "What do you want to do?"
Fang Jun said: "If His Highness takes a concubine and gives Pei Fuyin a life, wouldn't it show His love for talents? Maybe it will create a good story that will be passed down through the ages."
"..."
Li Tai's expression changed drastically and he said angrily: "Fart! How can you do such a thing? Once word spreads, I will be disgraced!"
It is indeed a romantic affair for literati to beg each other and give concubines as gifts, but he knew that Fang Jun had absolutely no intention of doing so, but wanted to use this to frame Pei Huaijie for the crime of "debauchery", which was naturally not a heinous crime.
, but as long as it was reported back to Chang'an that he was "drunk and debauched" and "involved with the prince's concubines", it was enough to make the imperial officials in the court launch a wave of impeachment.
How can one of the world's top border officials not have political enemies?
Even some "allies" who have close contacts with each other will not let go of such an opportunity to add insult to injury. "Henan Yin" means extremely huge interests, and everyone wants to get a piece of it...
But who can’t tell that this kind of thing is Li Tai’s handiwork?
While mocking and ridiculing him as the unscrupulous and shameless King of Wei, he was happily impeaching Pei Huaijie and grabbing profits. Wouldn't he, Li Tai, become the laughing stock of the world?
Fang Jun clicked his tongue, looking extremely regretful, and said seductively: "You said that you, the number one prince, what good reputation do you want? As long as you can pry open the smelly and hard stone Pei Huaijie, and complete the important tasks entrusted by His Majesty.
, what does it matter if there are some infamy? A true man stands between heaven and earth, he just wants to be free with his sword, and he is happy with his grudges, so why should he care about the praise and criticism of others."
Ashina Zhong, who had been silent until now, finally understood, nodded and echoed: "The Duke of Yue is indeed a man of good words. Please think twice, Your Highness."
You are a dignified prince, one of the few people closest to the throne in the world, and the greatest threat to the throne. If you still flaunt your moral character and become a "generation of wise kings" and receive praise from both the government and the public... don't you want to live?
Making one's reputation worse and attracting some infamy and ridicule is a way to protect oneself, and at the same time accomplish great things. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
"this……"
Li Tai hesitated, feeling that it seemed reasonable, but then he helplessly spread his hands and said: "But it is true that the king did not bring any concubines here."
He arrived in Luoyang dressed lightly and without a single woman around him. Is it possible that he, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, should be allowed to go into battle in person and perform a drama of "breaking sleeves and dividing peaches, adding men to men"?
Ashina Zhong chuckled and said: "Your Highness has arrived in Luoyang after a long journey for the emperor's orders. He has a great responsibility and is upright and upright. Naturally, the ministers should be well received and generous... I have a concubine, and I can give one to Your Highness."
His Highness the King of Wei rushed to Luoyang without fear of hardships and dangers. It was noble, but as a relative, how could he stand idly by? It was natural for him to give two concubines to serve the King of Wei, but this concubine was immediately raped by the drunken Henan Yin, and the King of Wei
I had no choice but to part with my love and give it away... perfect.
Li Tai looked at Fang Jun.
Fang Jun said with a smile: "This is Luoyang, and it belongs to Duke Xue. Let Duke Xue take care of it."
Ashina stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, you two, we will definitely live up to our expectations!"
This is a "letter of surrender". Regardless of whether this matter can be completed, it means that he will completely separate from the Luoyang family and join the camp of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the death of Emperor Taizong, he has not truly entered the power center of the empire for a long time. How can he let go of this opportunity?
He is a barbarian, with a high and powerful position, so he can only crawl under the imperial power, instead of getting closer and closer to some powerful forces, which is the way to death...
…
Pei Huaijie woke up amidst a scene of women crying and yelling angrily. He rubbed his bulging head and reluctantly opened his eyes. He was immediately horrified by the scene in front of him - a naked woman sitting sideways in front of him, clutching a hand.
The robe could barely hide the beauty, and he was crying and shivering. In front of the bed, Wei King Li Tai opened his eyes angrily and yelled angrily...
what's the situation?
Pei Huaijie was a little confused. He remembered that he was drunk in turns last night and finally got drunk. He looked down and saw that he was naked...
"boom"!
Pei Huaijie's whole body was shaken, and he suddenly realized what had happened, and he quickly got up. Before he could say anything, Li Tai's finger was already on his nose, and he shouted angrily like a storm: "Mother! I am the king.
When someone comes to serve you, you pretend to be drunk and defile the king's concubine. Such an animal behavior is inhuman!"
"Your Highness, calm down, I, I, I..."
Pei Huaijie wanted to defend himself, but he swallowed the words as he spoke. What's there to defend?
Now that things have come to this, what can I say?
After calming down for a while, he grabbed the scattered clothes and hurriedly put them on, admitting his mistake frankly: "Your Highness, please calm down. It's just a humble minister who lost his morality after being drunk, but I really don't know what happened!"
She is just a concubine, something like a dolphin and a dog, but she is Yin of Henan, the most powerful official in the border areas in the world, so she would not be so angry with herself, right?
Li Tai was furious, pointed his halberd and cursed: "You bastard! This is my king's concubine. It's fine if I give it to you, but you defiled it with force after drinking. How can I save my face? I thought you, Pei Huaijie, were the concubines."
He is a moral gentleman and behaves respectfully, but who would have expected that he would be so absurd and outrageous? Where will this put me?"
Pei Huaijie's complexion changed drastically. He finally put on his clothes and glanced at the crying woman beside him. He felt a splitting headache. He jumped off the bed and apologized: "The matter has come to this. I will let you be punished!"
"Concubine" is private property, and it is fine if the owner gives it to her. But if, as King Wei said, he "used force" after being drunk last night, then he is slapping Li Tai in the face.
The kind that spits on.
But he is "Henan Yin" after all. Even if Li Tai is unhappy with him, he will just scold him a few times. He won't fall out with him because of a concubine, right?
Besides, if this kind of thing spreads, it will be extremely detrimental to Li Tai...
Sure enough, Li Tai cursed a few times and said fiercely: "I hope you can give me an explanation!"
Ask someone to take the concubine away, and then walk away.
Pei Huaijie breathed a sigh of relief, and then regretted it. Last night, he accidentally fell into the trap of King Wei. After getting drunk, he was "framed" and used the charge of "insulting his concubine" to force him to give in.
Getting drunk made a mistake.
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to regret anymore. The worst thing is to give in on a certain matter...
Pei Huaijie rubbed his head, sighed, put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. He wanted to ask to see King Wei, but was told that King Wei would not meet him and asked him to leave immediately.
Pei Huaijie frowned, didn't he even discuss the conditions?
I felt something was wrong in my heart. It didn't seem like I was deliberately trying to frame myself and then force myself to give in on certain things...
Could it be that it was not a frame-up, but that he really did something wrong after being drunk last night?
As they were being sent out of Shangshanfang, they saw Duan Baoyuan and others waiting outside the gate, arguing and shoving with the soldiers at the door...
"The governor went to the palace last night to see His Highness the King of Wei. He has not returned yet. My wife and children at home are worried. Why are we not allowed to enter the palace to search for him?"
"This is His Highness's residence. The security is very tight. How can you come and go at will?"
"The dignified Henan Yin has not returned all night, but we are not allowed to enter to search. What do you want to do?"
"What about Henan Yin? Whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with us. We are ordered to be on guard duty. No one is allowed to enter unless summoned by His Highness!"
The officials of Henan Prefecture, led by Duan Baoyuan, were furious and wanted to go into the workshop to find someone. However, the navy soldiers in front of the door stayed at their posts and insisted that no one was allowed to enter unless summoned by the King of Wei. The two groups crossed over.
The quarrel became more and more angry, and gradually there was pushing and shoving.
One side is a local snake, arrogant and unyielding because it thinks it is right. The other side has strict military orders and has formed a formation that will not retreat even half a step...
Pei Huaijie quickly yelled: "Stop it! Where His Highness is staying, how can you keep making such noise?"
Duan Baoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and whispered: "Did Fu Yin rest in the workshop last night? We waited and waited for Fu Yin to return. We wanted to enter the workshop to look for him but were blocked, so we were very anxious."
Pei Huaijie looked gloomy: "We'll talk about the details later. Let's go back."
"Here."
Immediately leading a group of officials and government officials, Pei Huaijie left Shangshanfang and returned to the government office in Dongcheng...
After entering the official residence, Pei Huaijie drank a glass of water in one gulp, exhaled a breath, wiped the water stains on his beard, and said worriedly: "I was careless yesterday and fell into King Wei's trap accidentally. I'm in trouble.
.”
Duan Baoyuan hurriedly asked what happened. When Pei Huaijie explained it in detail, he was shocked: "Oh my god, how can the governor be so careless and slack? This is a bad thing!"
Pei Huaijie was shocked and asked hurriedly: "I'm just a concubine. I can just make a slight concession. What else can I do?"
"The concubine is indeed not worth mentioning, but she is the concubine of King Wei! What's more, Fu Yin actually used force..."
Pei Huaijie denied: "But I don't remember using force."
Duan Baoyuan said helplessly: "What you say is useless. That is King Wei's territory. Countless witnesses can be found at any time to prove it, no matter what you say."
Pei Huaijie was speechless.
Duan Baoyuan said: "If this matter is really planned by the King of Wei, so that the governor will give in at some point, then that would be fine. After all, there is room for discussion. But have you ever thought about it, what if this matter is leaked out?
, what kind of turmoil will it cause if it is reported back to Chang'an?"
Pei Huaijie: "..."
Although he has the support of major aristocratic families in Luoyang, Nanyang, and Hedong to sit in the position of Yin in Henan, people who covet this position are like crucian carp crossing the river. Who knows how many times, once others catch the clue, impeachment will follow.
The storm will surely be turbulent and turbulent.
He covered his head, which was about to explode, and said dejectedly: "The matter has come to this, how can we remedy it?"
