4606. Chapter 4606 Falling into the trap


Fang Jun whispered the short mustache on his lips 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 the two of you were quarreling with each other and Pei Huaijie had a direct showdown. Are you still thinking about hospitality?

Li Tai's mind turned faster after all, and after a moment's thought, he realized what he was doing. 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 and give concubines to each other, but he knew that Fang Jun had 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 "hangover 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 top officials in the world not have political enemies?

Even some "allies" who have close contacts with each other will not miss 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 ridiculing him as the unscrupulous and shameless King of Wei, he was happily impeaching Pei Huaijie and grabbing benefits. Wouldn't Li Tai become the laughing stock of the world?

Fang Jun clicked his tongue, looking extremely pity, and said in a persuasive way: "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 in the world and only wants to be free and happy with his sword. Why should he care about the praise and criticism of others? "

Ashina Zhong, who had been silent until now, finally understood and nodded in agreement: "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, one can achieve 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 by his side. Could it be that he, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was asked to go into battle in person and stage a drama of "cutting off sleeves and dividing peaches, adding men to men"?

Ashina Zhong chuckled and said: "His Royal Highness arrived in Luoyang after a long journey for the emperor's orders. He has a great responsibility and a high integrity. Naturally, the humble ministers must be well received and generous... I have a concubine, and I can give one to Your Highness."


His Royal Highness the King of Wei rushed to Luoyang despite the hardships and dangers under the emperor's orders. It was noble, but as a relative, how could he stand idly by? It was natural 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 had no choice but to part with her and give her 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: "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 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, holding on to a hand. The robe could barely cover the beauty, and he was crying and shivering. In front of the bed, King Li Tai of Wei opened his eyes angrily and scolded angrily...

What's going on?

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 had already touched his nose, and he shouted angrily like a storm: "Mother! This king! When someone comes to serve you, you pretend to be drunk and defile the king’s concubine. Such an animal behavior is inhumane!”

"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?

The matter has come to this, what more 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, a thing like a dolphin and a dog, but she is Yin of Henan, the number one feudal official in the world, so she would not be so angry with herself, right?

Li Tai was furious and cursed with his halberd finger: "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 him to be so absurd and outrageous? Where will this put me?”

Pei Huaijie's expression changed drastically. He finally put on his clothes. He glanced at the crying woman beside him and felt a splitting headache. He jumped off the bed and apologized: "The matter has come to this. I'll 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 spitting kind.

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!"

Let someone 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 forced to give in with the charge of "insulting his concubine".

Getting drunk made a mistake.

But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to regret. The worst 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 force myself to give in on certain things...

Could it be that it wasn't 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 square gate, arguing and pushing with the soldiers at the door...

"The governor went to the palace last night to see His Highness the King of Wei, but he has not returned yet. My wife and children at home are worried. Why are we not allowed to enter the palace to look 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?"

"So what about Henan Yin? Whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with us. We are ordered to be on 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, thinking that 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! How can there be so much noise in the place where His Highness is staying?"

Duan Baoyuan breathed a sigh of relief and 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. We were very anxious."

Pei Huaijie looked gloomy: "We'll talk about the details later, let's go back."

"Here."

Immediately, Pei Huaijie left Shangshanfang with a group of officials and government servants, 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? Something bad has happened now!"

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 said is useless. That is King Wei's territory. Countless witnesses can be found at any time to prove it, no matter how you say it."

Pei Huaijie was speechless.

Duan Baoyuan said: "If this matter is really designed by the King of Wei in order to make the governor give in at some point, then that would be fine. After all, there is room for discussion. But have you ever thought about what might happen if this matter is leaked? , what kind of disturbance will it cause if it is reported back to Chang'an? ”

Pei Huaijie: "..."

Although he sat in the position of Henan Yin with the support of major aristocratic families in Luoyang, Nanyang, and Hedong, people who covet this position are like crucian carp crossing the river. Once others catch the evidence, impeachment will follow. The storm will surely be turbulent and turbulent. He covered his head that was about to explode and said dejectedly: "The matter has come to this, how to remedy it?"
