When the rain stopped, Pei Xingjian walked out of the house and looked at the wet Chang'an City heading towards the Secretariat. As soon as he arrived at Chengtian Gate, he was stopped by Wang Jin.

"What's the matter?" Pei Xingjian looked at the eunuch and asked.

"Your Majesty, please come with the old slave." Wang Jin turned around and started to move his steps after he said that.

Li Chengqian has left the palace? Pei Xingjian followed him all the way and came to a mansion, which was the Zhao Duke's Mansion of the Changsun family.

"Please come in, Shangshu Ling." Wang Jin whispered.

A little confused, Pei Xingjian followed him into the Duke Zhao's mansion and followed Wang Jin to the backyard of Changsun's house and met Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji. The two looked not very good.

"Your Majesty, the person is here." Wang Jin said to Li Chengqian.

"Then I'll have a hard time." Li Chengqian stood up and said to Pei Xingjian: "There are some things that you can discuss."

Looking at the situation, Pei Xingjian stood there and watched Li Chengqian leave.

"Come and sit down." Changsun Wuji whispered.

"You are polite to Zhao. Let's stand there." Pei Xingjian said.

Changsun Wuji observed the young man in front of him and said, "Gu Qing was also the Shangshu Ling at this age. It is said that Cheng Yaojin took you as a closed disciple?"

"It's just a joke." Pei Xingjian was very alert to Changsun Wuji.

"This kid Gu Qing hides deeply enough that I don't even know that you are Gu Qing's disciple."

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian looked up at him with his eyes. The eyes under his old face were very sharp as if they could see through people's hearts at a glance. He avoided his gaze and said, "Duke Zhao, please say something directly. I still have many things to preside over in the Shangshu Province."

"That's right, the court is now inseparable from you talents." Changsun Wuji whispered, "Tell me, what is the real purpose of Gu Qing in the West?"

"For the sake of the Western trade route and for the future Tang Dynasty, it can jump from Tianzhu Persia to the West." Pei Xingjian returned and said, "Even if we don't talk about these things, many people in the court know about them. I believe that Duke Zhao also understands in his heart, why bother asking this question again."

"No, it's too wrong." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Gu Qing's purpose will not be so simple. There must be something in the West worth him to win, otherwise Gu Qing would not have so much effort to set up such a big situation."

"I don't understand what Duke Zhao said, so I would like to ask Duke Zhao for advice." Pei Xingjian bowed and bowed slightly.

Changsun Wuji looked at the flower beside him, "I remember that Gu Qing discovered the oil field when he was in the Hexi Corridor. Gu Qing was in charge of the method of making firearms. Of course, he understood the importance of turmeric oil to firearms. The same is true for Yanmen Pass. My Changsun family has heard rumors in the West since the Daye period. If the Western oil field is not just the Hexi Corridor, even though I am at home, I know everything. Gu Qing's newly built car also needs this kind of oil, right?"

Listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Pei Xingjian's doubts in his heart became aggravated and replied: "I don't understand these things. If Duke Zhao wants to know, he might as well go to the academy or factory to ask, and he might get a more affirmative answer."

"At a young age, I can speak steadily. I will ask you again when Gu Qing can abdicate."

Pei Xingjian stood there for a long time without answering.

Changsun Wuji stood up and asked, "I am old and can't live long. You are still young, so don't blame me for being anxious. I'm afraid I can't wait for long."

"Is this what Your Majesty means or what Duke Zhao means?" Pei Xingjian asked back.

"What if it's what I mean?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Then I have to report to the Secretariat first before His Majesty decides." Pei Xingjian said.

"What if it's Your Majesty's intention?" Changsun Wuji smiled inexplicably. Seeing the young man in front of him walking to him with a little nervousness and nervousness, he whispered: "Actually, this is my intention or Your Majesty's intention. It's not important. What's important is whether you want your teacher to leave the position of Prime Minister. It's just that you don't want to go against your inner gratitude. Is I right? Whether it's my request or Your Majesty's request, it's a torment for you."

"Duke Zhao is such a bad word." Pei Xingjian looked directly at Changsun Wuji and said, "Actually, the teacher has never cared about the position of Prime Minister, and there is no such much restraint between me and the teacher."

Changsun Wuji's eyes were full of confusion.

Pei Xingjian said confidently with a smile: "Duke Zhao, are you cheating me, right? What a pity, your move is useless to the following."

"I didn't expect you to be so stubborn." Changsun Wuji shook his head in disappointment.

"I actually understand the meaning of Duke Zhao. Is it that if I ask the teacher who is in charge to abdicate and let him do it himself to make a difference with the teacher? Or sow discord?" Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "These words may be useful to others and are useless to the master. It's a pity that Duke Zhao is in vain."

Pei Xingjian walked to Changsun Wuji and whispered: "I am the only one who can make the teacher abdicate. Except for me, it is useless to anyone. That is, I can only make my teacher abdicate. As for when it depends on my mood, Duke Zhao, it has been so many years and time has changed. I respect you seniors, but everything has changed. You are no longer the Changsun Wuji back then, and my teacher is no longer the child who has nothing in the past."

"This is the situation now. You have no power to stir up the storm, so why not retreat." Pei Xingjian's tone was very gentle, so light that only two people could hear each other, "Duke Zhao, you are old! Time is not forgiving people, and there are still a few people you know in the court today? Even if it is Li Chengqian, can he change the court today?"

Changsun Wuji stood there and stopped talking.

A drop of water fell from the wet eaves and fell to the ground and broke.

"If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first." Pei Xingjian was about to walk and turned around and said to Changsun Wuji: "Duke Zhao must take care of himself. You are already in your old age. I also beg you to give yourself and even the Changsun family a good reputation."

Pei Xingjian walked out of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, glanced at the old gate, and left without looking back.
