Chapter 71 This is what you owe him
Qin Jinzhi curled one corner of her mouth and said, "Grand Tutor Pei should be grateful to your wife for giving birth to such a good son for you. If it weren't for him, the Pei family would be the first to be dealt with."
It was because of Pei Yunxiao that Qin Jinzhi had the idea of supporting the Pei family.
Don't be ridiculous to think that Pei Jinnian is a nobody who hasn't even seen the most basic dark side of this world.
Pei Qing felt a pang of pain in his eyes upon hearing her words, but he understood the meaning behind Qin Jinzhi's words.
"What does the princess want from the Pei family?"
Qin Jinzhi stood opposite Pei Qing, facing him directly.
Despite being a mere scholar, Pei Qing possesses an extremely strong aura.
But Qin Jinzhi was in no way inferior.
“If you want the Pei family to regain its former glory, I can help you. But in this capital, there is only one such glory. If your Pei family takes it, everyone else will have nothing.”
Pei Qing's gaze deepened, "The princess wants my Pei family to be the weapon!"
Qin Jinzhi smacked her nose and shook her index finger. "No, it's about fulfilling Pei Yunxiao's last wish, fulfilling his ideal, and saving the world that his father destroyed."
Pei Qing's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. "What if the Pei family doesn't agree?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, but her tone was aggressive, "You must agree, because this is what you owe Pei Yunxiao!"
Pei Qing thought of the evaluations given to Qin Jinzhi in the capital.
vicious!
That statement is absolutely correct.
After Yunxiao's death, he lived in constant regret.
But restoring his former glory had always been his lifelong wish.
The two conflict, yet the idea continues to grow wildly.
Upon realizing what Qin Jinzhi was doing, he immediately climbed onto that golden branch.
But Qin Jinzhi was like a demon who could see into people's hearts.
It cruelly shattered all the carefully crafted peace and tranquility.
Use Pei Yunxiao's death to cruelly rip out his heart!
After a long silence, Pei Qing spoke up: "The Pei family accepts this honor, and we hope that the Princess will honor her promise."
Qin Jinzhi smiled happily, "I knew it! Talking to smart people is so much easier. The Pei family mustn't let me down."
The Pei family has now completely aligned themselves with the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion.
Looking at the confident Qin Jinzhi, Pei Qing couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the princess afraid that I might change my mind?"
Qin Jinzhi burst out laughing upon hearing this.
She slowly walked up to Pei Jinnian.
Extend a finger to lift his chin.
"Does Grand Tutor Pei really think that the Pei family can sit at the table and eat in this dog-eat-dog capital just by having chopsticks?"
Looking at the face so close to his, Pei Jinnian felt fear for the first time.
Qin Jinzhi withdrew her finger and looked at Pei Qing, "If the Pei family wants to eat meat, they have to bite it themselves. A dog that can't hunt is the most useless."
Pei Qing got to know the little girl in front of him all over again.
She wasn't afraid at all that the Pei family wouldn't agree.
If the Pei family goes back on their word, they will be the first to be devoured in this capital city!
The so-called poisoning and framing were just a warning to the Pei family.
Pei Qing's face darkened. How many years had she been hiding this?
No, perhaps she wasn't hiding anything at all!
However, no one can see through her!
The deposed Wei Xueyi, the fallen Duke's mansion!
She was behind all of this!
She had been preparing for this for who knows how long!
This was the first time he had used the word "terrifying" to describe someone.
If his grandson really marries her.
There probably won't even be any bone fragments left!
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly as she looked at the grandmother and grandson, whose complexions were not very good.
"But don't worry, I'm the most generous person. Since Grand Tutor Pei has made his decision, I've also prepared a gift for your Pei family."
“The position of Prefect of Kyoto has become vacant, and I will have Pei Jinnian fill it.”
Pei Jinnian looked at Qin Jinzhi in disbelief.
That's an important official position in the capital. Is Qin Jinzhi joking?
Moreover, he was engaged to Qin Jinzhi, and after Qin Jinzhi deposed Wei Xueyi, he took his place.
This is not telling everyone in the capital that the Pei family has betrayed the Prince of Zhenbei's family for the sake of power.
The reputation of the Pei family will be ruined!
"No, I won't allow it! I can't let the Pei family's century-old reputation be ruined in my hands."
Looking into Pei Jinnian's clear, foolish eyes, Qin Jinzhi could no longer hold back and walked up to Pei Qing to mock him rudely, "Grand Tutor Pei, look at this! This is the kind of person you've raised! He wants to eat meat but is afraid the hunting grounds are dirty. Grand Tutor Pei, how long do you think he can live after becoming the Prefect of the Capital?"
Pei Qing knew that Qin Jinzhi was telling the truth. Pei Jinnian had been protected by him too well and had never seen anything dark or dirty.
Will Pei Jinnian be able to uphold the Pei family's honor after he passes away?
Qin Jinzhi laughed for a while before saying, "But his stupidity today made me happy. I can grant him a favor. After he becomes the Prefect of the Capital, I will save him three times. Whether he survives or not, and how long he lives, is up to him."
Pei Jinnian's face flushed red. For the first time, he felt so humiliated that he couldn't move!
He suddenly understood what Qin Jinzhi's look meant earlier.
It was mockery, it was contempt, it was a feeling of injustice that the Pei family would never have another Pei Yunxiao!
Pei Qing glanced at Pei Jinnian. He didn't know how many more things like this he would encounter in the future, so it was good for him to see them in advance.
Look, these are the elite families.
No matter how much a person loves their grandson, it cannot outweigh the glory of the clan.
For twenty years it was protected like a blank sheet of paper; once it changes, it's no pity to throw it into the mud.
Power is indeed a wonderful thing for manipulating people's hearts.
Pei Qing seemed to have made up his mind, "Princess, there is something I feel is inappropriate."
Now that the Pei family has sided with the Prince of Zhenbei, he needs to warn Qin Jinzhi about some potential problems.
Qin Jinzhi raised her hand and said, "Grand Tutor Pei, please speak."
Pei Qing said with a serious expression, "If the princess wants to cleanse and eliminate the aristocratic families, then she should bide her time and wait for an opportunity to strike decisively, instead of acting rashly! Once the matter is exposed, it will be extremely difficult to deal with her."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "What Grand Tutor Pei said makes sense, but what if I don't want to hide it at all?"
Pei Qing's pupils widened. What did Qin Jinzhi mean by this?
“A towering tree with roots that stretch for hundreds of miles. If I search for each root one by one, how much time will it take? But if I burn the trunk, even if the roots stretch for hundreds of miles, how many years will it take for the trunk to grow back?”
Pei Qing's eyes widened, feeling her mind being turned upside down once again!
He originally thought Qin Jinzhi wanted to eliminate all the aristocratic families.
Taking things slowly and methodically is the best approach!
But Qin Jinzhi thought much further ahead!
It is true that imperial power and aristocratic families are in opposition, but if they complement each other, what worries will the people of the world have!
But it's a disaster no matter which side has more power than the other!
The corruption of powerful families does not necessarily mean that all emperors were wise rulers!
If power is concentrated in the hands of the royal family, it will eventually lead to disaster!
Qin Jinzhi actually wanted balance!
It's about mutual checks and balances!
She is merely eliminating the overstepping henchmen of powerful families!
The art of rulership!
If this woman is truly of royal blood, then the world will surely be a completely different place!
Pei Qing's eyes suddenly burned!
If they follow such a leader, the Pei family can truly regain its glory!
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at Pei Qing's expression. "Grand Tutor Pei, don't disappoint me."
