Chapter 939 (1/2)

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he has not a clear outline and understanding of the people's mind and strategy. Unconsciously, he began to be regarded as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and various kinds of people began to appear around him. He was close to him and showed him well, hoping to enter Li Ye's circle one day.

Although Li Hong has not yet established a crown prince, it does not mean that the people below will not privately speculate about the holy idea, and will not take Li Ye, the eldest son of the queen, as the rightful crown prince, and then begin to make political investment ahead of time.

At the beginning, Li Ye was able to resist anyone from thousands of miles away. He must have been a common Prince of the Tang Dynasty, just like other people, before Li Hong established his reserve. Naturally, he thought that the prince of the Tang Dynasty must be his own.

However, before he became the crown prince, neither Li Ye nor Pei WANYING regarded the position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty as his natural right.

Li Ye can also remember this, so he was not flattered by some people, but at such a young age, he always abided by Pei WANYING's reminders and warnings.

But Pei Qing, the governor of Suizhou, is different. As his cousin, the son of Pei Xingyan, Pei Xingjian's younger brother, is also a close relative of the royal family. Even if he was more careful, he could not guard against his family every day.

Moreover, as a prince, it is not impossible to associate with relatives of his mother's family. It is a matter of reason.

However, he didn't expect that as the relationship between him and his cousin Pei Xuan, who had been educated in the Imperial College, was getting better and better, a big net had been gradually covering him.

Everything happened without Li Ye's notice. Naturally, driven by time, Li Ye occasionally went out of the palace to have a dinner with them with the consent of his mother's wife. He even went to the famous thorn banquet handed over by his uncle for several times.

But in Li Ye's opinion, his cousin Pei Qing has always been upright and honest, especially in front of him. As a governor of Suizhou, he always showed the appearance of having two sleeves and a breeze.

However, two days ago, it was discovered by Guo Jingzhi, a scholar who personally judged the case for him in Luoyang by his father and Emperor two days ago. Now, as the Sima of Suizhou, he found out about his immediate superior, Peiqing, who was corrupt and perverted the law and organized the party.

Some of them began to accept bribes from local officials in Suizhou because of his status as emperor's relative and Pei Qing intentionally or unintentionally accepted bribes from local officials in Suizhou. Even some officials in the capital city were attracted by him, hoping that one day after Li Ye was made the crown prince, they would be able to enter the east palace to serve in advance for future prosperity Plot.

Li Ye didn't know about all this. He even met some officials from other places and the capital when he went to Peiqing's banquet. When he was confused, he would be put off by Pei Qing for coincidental reasons.

Li Ye didn't study the matter deeply, and he didn't think about it carefully. How could there be such a coincidence every time? When Pei Qing was wantonly accepting gifts from officials from all over the country, Pei Qing would also choose some good things to send to the palace.

At first, Li ye would refuse, but Pei Qing went from simplicity to complexity. At the beginning, there were some things that were not worth money or even could not be put on the table. Slowly, they began to weigh more and more. In this process, naturally, Li Ye's vigilance was completely worn away.

Therefore, Li Ye has been attracted by Pei Qing and has established a large future Crown Prince Official circle with Li Ye's reputation.

Pei WANYING sighed helplessly, but she didn't know what to say. She didn't like this cousin very much. When she didn't enter the palace, her love affair with her Majesty was limited to a small part. When she knew about it, her cousin, who never visited her own house, began to become attentive.

Pei Xingjian lived in Anxi and Tubo for a long time, and did not stay in Chang'an for a few years. He worked as a water master in Quanzhou with Chen Jingzhi, the father of QingHan sister.

In those years, Pei WANYING lived with her mother all the time in Chang'an. Her cousin and second uncle seldom went to visit her and her mother.

At that time, my father was still in Tubo, but the door of my home was empty, but it was very quiet and cold. However, since my father came back, the relatives of my family suddenly changed their faces, and all of a sudden became enthusiastic about myself and my mother.

Fortunately, Pei WANYING, as the empress of the Tang Dynasty's mother, has always abided by her duties. She never participated in the affairs of the imperial court, and even the pillow wind never blew in Li Hong's ears.

Pei WANYING never asked about their official career. Only when she came home from the palace, she would ask a few questions out of politeness in the face of so many relatives suddenly coming out of the palace, but she also tried not to involve the important affairs of the court.
