Chapter 108: Fuel the flames

Late at night, inside the Huo family residence.
Huo Changyang frowned, "The emperor has been at Pei's house for more than a few hours before coming out, and then going to the night market with Pei Tuo Pedu?"
"Yes, and according to informers, the emperor on the road is very interested, and played with many shops with Pei Du and others, and also used a lot of snacks."
Huo Changyang groaned for a moment and asked, "What's the attitude of Pei Tuo while driving?"
"A gentle look, as always."
Huo Changyang sighed, "Your elder sister is really a scumbag. This arrangement is futile and will not be said, I'm afraid that our plan will be broken."
Huo Donglai also sighed, "I can't think of Pei Tuo taking this matter so seriously." An idle man, taking away his wife's hatred, is a shame that can go hand-in-hand with his father's hatred, especially a young man like Pei Tuo who has built his career at a young age Talented people often see such things as a shame and shame. Can bear it down.
"If the emperor does not care about He's daughter, with his temperament, he will feel owed to Pei's family and He's family ..." Huo Donglai smiled bitterly. He Ci was also a popular candidate to appease the envoys of Changlong Temple this time, and Pei Ye strongly recommended it.
It goes without saying how the balance will tilt.
"On your sister's side, let your daughter-in-law go to the palace another day, and talk about it." Huo Changyang had a headache, and after being centrifuged with his family, Queen Mother Huo became more paranoid and lonely. He was determined to repair the relationship, but he was too stupid before, and he didn't know how to start.
"I know." Huo Dong nodded, but repairing the relationship with Queen Mother Huo is a future thing, and now Changlongguan's appeasement is imminent.
Huo Changyang asked again: "I heard that He intends to change the marriage object to what five."
"Yes, it just seems to be rejected by Pei Ye."
Huo Changyang's eyebrow flashed a light: "It seems that the He family's incident with Miss He Si was not only an accident, but maybe an accidental delight."
Huo Dong came to reveal his thoughts. From the standpoint of He's family, look at this. Although the He family was counted by the queen mother this time, if they could push the boat smoothly and send the women to the palace, this calculation would not be a loss, and they would even make a profit!
After all, the daughter of the He family is from a family background. Even if she is not a queen, she must be a concubine at least. He Si became a concubine, and the marriage with the Pei family came from He Wulai. For a businessman, this is definitely the most cost-effective result.
"He Borong's temperament has always been exquisite. If he can get the opportunity to climb up the relationship with the palace, I'm afraid ..." Huo Donglai thought along this line of thought.
"It's just that Pei Yue has already stated his position. He may not have the courage."
Huo Changyang sneered: "That being the case, we might as well push the boat down the river and help them."
Huo Dong smiled and said, "I'll arrange the rumors by hand."
From the family ’s eagerness to change their fiancée candidates, it can be seen that although they appear to be victims, they are afraid they are enthusiastic about sending women into the palace, and they can use this mentality.
"No need, just find a chance to mention it. He also has a lot of people, so why work?" Huo Changyang was more cautious.
The emperor did not want to accept the Ho's daughter into the palace. If the Ho family used public opinion to force the Ho's daughter into the palace, what would the emperor think of the Ho family?
It is also helpless to flatten the impression on both sides in the emperor's mind by this small means.
He may not be able to see through this, but the bait is too fat and it will be swallowed obediently.

With regard to He's daughter, Qin Nuoben thought this was the end. Unexpectedly, after a few days, the secret security sent by Qianlin Division was raised again.
Dongbo sternly recounted the rumors of these days, and finally said: "It will reach such a high level, I'm afraid that someone will contribute to the situation.
Is it Queen Mother Huo? Don't give up on this run-down plan? Qin Nuo looked up at her, waiting for the answer.
"According to a secret investigation by You Si, it should not be Queen Mother Huo ... it may be He's staff." Dongbo said.
Qin Nuo froze, and the He family contributed to the situation? What is this going to do, things that have already subsided ... Are they going to ruin their daughter? Still thinking about sending He Si really into the palace?
Isn't this behavior afraid of attracting Pei Ye's fear?
Qin Nuo thought for a moment, and immediately understood this mentality. Of course, sitting on the big ship Pei Ye, but as a businessman, multi-party investment is the most reliable guarantee.
"How does the emperor respond?" Dongbo asked.
Judging from his eyes, He's not Pei Ye's loyal dead party, but Qin Nuo's opportunity.
At this point in terms of political tactics, Qin Nuo should take advantage of He's daughter into the harem and seal a concubine. He can even be brought together. He is the emperor, and he is more justified than any gate valve, and he is also a restraint on Pei's power.
However, when I thought of the methods used by the He family to create the two ends of the public opinion, I was disgusted. Even He Ci greatly reduced the impression score.

He Ci was really anxious.
In Beijing's house, He Ci quickly entered the study.
"father."
He Borong just concluded a business, waved a few executives with him back, and laughed: "What are you so anxious for?"
"Recent rumors have spread about the four sisters recently. I asked the supervisor to check ..." He Ci didn't know how to speak.
He Borong immediately understood what he meant, and laughed, "This is also for the future of our family."
"However, if the emperor does not want to accept the concubine, how will the four sisters be in the future?" He Ci worried.
"The appearance of your four younger sisters, is there any man who doesn't care?" He Borong dismissed.
"So I'm afraid that General Pei will think we have a different heart."
He Borong smiled stifled, paused for a moment, and laughed: "Relax, I deliberately let people who are working outside be careful, we won't find out the news we let go."
He Ci was sad, but he was not as optimistic as his father. He's lack of foundation in Beijing said that he should be careful, who knows which side will be calculated.
And how about entering the palace? I heard that the emperor in the palace already had a pet, and that he was still from Huo's family. His sister was weak and could not compete with others.
The most important thing is that they are already on Pei's ship. This kind of flattering behavior will most likely end up offending both sides.
"I am also for the family ..." He Borong sighed, with a faint layer of anxiety in his heart.
Although the Pei family is excellent, Pei Ye's wrists have always been kind and generous. But did he really not care about that event?

Pei Tuo is a bit annoying these days, very annoying, especially annoying.
In Camp Perak, and among the Five Guards of the Imperial Army, people often look at him with unspeakable eyes.
The look was like sympathy and gloat. Or try to sweep over the top of his head, looking for something with a little color on it.
Pei Tuo really wanted to rush up to grab their collars and yelled, "Lao Tzu didn't want to marry He's daughter, who cares if she should die!"
However, this kind of privacy cannot be announced at all. And for many years, the fiancée has been in the deed. During these years, Pei Tuo walked in the army every day and fought with like-minded partners like Ren Jinglei. They were so happy that they almost forgot that they had a fiancee.
In such a depressed situation and nowhere to vent, Pei Tuo once again entered the palace rotation.
In fact, he didn't want to enter the palace. The tedious work of guarding the palace was always abandoned by him, but this time the emperor named Yanwutang to teach him to come, and Perak camp arranged for him to come.
The next day after entering the palace, the emperor came to Yanwutang.
Pointing at such a flower rack, Pei Tuo is very boring, but he still fulfills his duties faithfully.
The emperor's attitude was very mild, as if he felt a little guilty about him.
Do you want to express your closeness and guilt to the Pei family through this behavior?
Pei Tuo really wanted to say something to him. I don't mind. Please invite His Majesty the Emperor to put Miss He Si and Miss He Wu into the harem together, so that I can be relieved.
After leaving Yanwu Hall, Qin Nuo returned to Qianyuan Hall. Asked Dongbo: "are you ready?"
Dongbo looked at him helplessly and nodded.
Qin Nuo gritted his teeth. He really wanted to show Pei Tuo a little color.
The last time the two broke into Feifeng Pavilion, Pei Yue interceded, and he didn't mind. Unexpectedly, there was something else in the inside.
But the matter has been settled, without evidence, and it is not good for him to go to court again. Fortunately, Pei Tuo's personality, he is very clear, has always been unsuccessful. This time he specifically created opportunities for him. He even arranged for Ren to turn away the thunder.
Then let people stare at Pei Tuo, waiting to catch a current one! Now, even Pei Ye has no face to plead with himself.
Pei Tuo returned to his office and found that Ren Jinglei was called away because of the case of Gewu.
The original guard who wanted to turn around to rest, Ren Jinglei stepped forward and smiled and handed an official letter, "Leader, when Ren Tong left, I specifically asked you to take care of this."
Pei Tuo took a look at it. It was the latest business of the Perak camp, and he immediately frowned. He was the most impatient of these things on weekdays.
But a few official tasks were very anxious, he thought about it, and had to sit down at the desk desperately and start reviewing.
Several things were extraordinarily troublesome. Pei Tuo had finished the batch of official duties. It was already midnight, and he simply stopped sleeping. He went to the small square in the backyard for a punch, and then simply took a shower and started the second. Days work.
Qin Nuo couldn't wait to ask Pei Tuo's movements early the next morning. He was stunned to learn that the boy had been handling military affairs until midnight.
Not exactly like Pei Tuo's style of painting!
Immediately realized that Ren Jinglei was controlling this guy.
It seems this trick doesn't work ...
That evening, the emperor suddenly had a decree, and asked Pei Tuo to go.
Pei Tuo was puzzled and came to the Qianyuan Hall. The emperor was reviewing the memorial after the desk case. After signalling his flat body, he picked up a memorial from the desk case and said, "I was deeply impressed when I heard about the Nanshuo Hou about Beishuo yesterday. Just now, a livelihood accountant of Beishuo came up and thought Hear what you think. "
Qin Nuo had a solemn expression. During the day when the two were in Yanwuchang, they did talk about Beishuo's past.
Bei Shuo's news was also followed by Pei Tuo. He didn't dare to take care of it. He immediately took it over and read it carefully.
It was submitted by a local official in northern Xinjiang about the recent snow disaster on the eastern grassland in Beishuo. The continuous blizzard covered thousands of miles of pastures, causing countless livestock to freeze to death. The officials at Shangzhezi were quite talented and thoroughly investigated the current situation of the disaster. They believed that it affected more than a dozen tribes and had a population of more than one million. There is no sign of easing the disaster now. In case of continued expansion, it is likely that the eastern part of Beishuo will be in the spring Famine in season. At that time, even if the central court of Beishuo does not want to start the war lightly, the tribes in the east will be hungry, and they may form small bandits and harass the place.
The official suggested that the court should take precautions early, repair the eastern city walls, and increase troops ...
Pei Tuo took a closer look and nodded: "This adult makes a lot of sense. Once Beishuo is affected, it will invade south, but I don't know if the snowstorm will continue. Beishuo is also prepared for winter disasters. Before entering winter Most livestock will be slaughtered and stored as food. If the snow disaster ends so far, it will not starve too many people ... "
After listening to Pei Tuo's opinion, Qin Nuo asked a few more details. Pei Tuo has lived in northern Xinjiang for nearly ten years and has a deep understanding of local people's livelihood and government affairs. Qin Nuo was often surprised by the idea, and the two talked deeper and deeper.
After talking about the Northern Territory, Qin Nuo brought up the research on Tiefu Tu.
This is also a topic that Pei Tuo cares about. Unconsciously, the two kept talking about the second half of the night.
During the conversation, Pei Tuo made some changes to the emperor in front of him. Although he couldn't do anything, he was at least open-minded and good at admittance, which should be one of the potentials of Mingjun.
Qin Nuo glanced at the Western species on the table, watching the time almost, and laughed: "Today's hard general, I have benefited a lot."
"I don't dare to work hard as an emperor for things within the government." Pei Tuo stood up and resigned.
Watching his figure disappeared outside the temple door. Qin Nuo smiled.
The next night, when the came to preach again, Pei Tuo was surprised.
He followed the imperial into the Qianyuan Hall, but the emperor was not in the hall.
Pei Tuo frowned. The next to him bowed his head and said, "Hou Ye, please wait for a while. The emperor is still discussing the matter with Fan Ye and will come soon."
"The emperor summons, I wonder what's the matter?"
Regarding Pei Tuo's doubts, the explained in detail: "It is the Ministry of Industry that has made a discount today. The research on Tiefu Tu has made considerable progress, and the emperor wants to hear Hou Ye's opinions."
Tiefu Tu is the focus of Pei Tuo's attention now. He immediately lifted up his spirit and followed the eunuch's instructions to wait in the study.
I sat in a chair and waited for a long time.
This is the Imperial Study Room. There are several memorials on the table, which are the memorials about the study of the iron floats mentioned by the just now.
What is it? What are the major developments? Pei Tuo felt anxious immediately. He is a man who loves war horses, and he is most interested in the battles in northern Xinjiang. The research of Tiefutu has always been an urgent news.
Can't help but want to pick it up and take a look.
Yesterday the emperor also handed several memorials to himself, and the also mentioned it just now. It's just a matter of discussing it later. It doesn't matter if you look ahead yourself?
Pei Tuo was full of curiosity. It was like the drinker saw the peerless wine, and the bookworm got the recourse, and he couldn't wait to try it.
And there was no woman in the study room, only two little eunuchs remained outside the door.
