  As soon as Lü Yi Jian came out to greet him, Pang Ji was somewhat surprised: "Prime Minister Lü, how dare I trouble you to come out in person? It would have been enough to send someone to inform me, I'm terrified, I'm terrified!"

  Lü Yi smiled and said: "No need for that, Imperial Tutor has arrived, how could I not come out to greet him?"

  Pang Ji sighed: "Alas, today's Pang Ji is not the same as yesterday's. As the saying goes, a phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken. Now, there are many people holding knives waiting to cut off my head, and yet Prime Minister still invites me for tea, truly making me see the coldness and warmth of human relationships."

  Lv Yi Jian pulled Pang Ji's hand: "Taishi! I have worked with you for many years, do I still need to say these words? Tomorrow will be a disaster, it can't be Taishi, right?"

  Pang Ji looked at him without making a sound, Lv Yi Jian pulled him towards the study: "Come, someone sent me some of the best new tea, let's go to the study and taste it."

  Pang Ji's face also had a smile: "So, Lao Gong is not polite."

  Three people walked into the study together, with Pang Ji and Lü Yi Jian entering first, and Chen Yuan last, closing the door behind him.

  For someone dressed like that to be able to come in with him, Pang Ji felt a bit unexpected. However, seeing that Lü Yi Jian didn't say anything, he thought this person might be Lü Yi Jian's confidant and didn't pay attention.

  After the two sat down, Lü Yi Jian poured two cups of tea. Pang Ji stood up to receive them: "Ah, how can we let Prime Minister sir personally pour tea? I'm really flustered today."

  Lü Yi Jian pressed him down to sit: "Master, just sit and taste the tea, there is a young man here, but I'm afraid he can't even pour tea properly, Master won't drink it."

  Pang Ji looked at Chen Yuan with a suspicious gaze, just as he was about to ask something, Lü Yi spoke up: "Taishi, since there are no outsiders here, I'd like to ask Taishi, if those corrupt Confucians were to cause trouble again, how would you plan to respond?"

  "What else can I do? Now I'm a turtle sticking its head out, waiting to be killed."

  Lv Yi snorted and put on an angry face: "If the Grand Master speaks like this, then it's just like coming to my place for a pure cup of tea!"

  Pang Ji's eyes rolled, and a smile hung on his face: "What guidance does Lord Lü have? If Lord Lü can point out a way for Pang Ji to survive, Pang Ji will be eternally grateful!"

  Lv Yi's angry look on his face disappeared, and he smiled: "How dare I point out a way for Taishi? The road ahead of Taishi is flat and smooth, and Ben Xiang can still see it with these old eyes. However, I have a dead end that can make Fan Zhongyan step in."

  Pang Ji was overjoyed and stood up to bow with his fists: "Please, Prime Minister, guide me out of my confusion."

  Lü Yi pulled him over and said: "Taishi, there's a saying that goes 'if you want to take something, you must first give something'. Have you heard it before?"

  Pang Ji didn't understand for a moment, and Lü Yi continued: "I think we should ask the Grand Master to take a step back first, let them be arrogant for a while. Didn't Fan Zhongyan say that we were 'partisan'? If the two of us behave honestly, will the 'partisan' disappear?"

  "This remark has been made extremely clear, Pang Ji burst out laughing: 'Prime Minister's insight! Prime Minister's insight!'"

  Lv Yi Jian saw that he understood, and immediately said: "For the time being, let's pretend to be obedient for a few days, focus on serving the emperor, and leave national affairs to them."

  Pang Ji knew that this plan was poisonous! Moreover, if he cooperated with Lü Yi Jian, then Fan Zhongyan wouldn't even know how he died. He picked up his tea: "Come, I'll use tea instead of wine to toast the Prime Minister! Hope our cooperation goes smoothly."

  Lv Yi Jian also picked up his tea and said with great confidence: "At most a year, we will drive those corrupt Confucians out of the capital!"

  Two cups of tea colliding with each other signify the birth of a conspiracy.

  After Pong Ki finished drinking, Lyu Yi Jian said: "Taishi, there is still a small matter, I hope Taishi will tolerate this."

  Pang Ji said with great magnanimity: "Prime Minister, what else can I possibly hide? Speak your mind without reserve!"

  Lü Yi smiled slightly: "I have a younger generation, young and ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth. He offended Tai Shi some time ago. I hope Tai Shi will not hold it against him and won't take it to heart."

  Pang Ji nodded: "Since it's a matter of later generations, I won't bother with him. But what is the name of that young man?"

  Pang Ji also did too many bad things, and for a moment he didn't think of Chen Yuan. It wasn't until Lü Yi Jian looked at Chen Yuan with a somewhat accusatory tone and said: "Chen Shi Mei, what are you still doing there? Don't you know to serve tea and apologize to the Grand Master? You really don't understand etiquette!"

  As soon as Chen Shimei's three words came out, Pang Taishi's face changed immediately.

  Chen Yuan poured a cup of tea: "Your Excellency, I'm new to Bianjing and don't know what's good or bad, I've offended you, please forgive me."

  Saying so, he respectfully held out a cup of tea with both hands and bowed his head as he presented it to Pang Ji.

  Pang Ji looked at Chen Yuan for half a day, hesitating and not taking the cup of tea. He now hated Chen Yuan with gritted teeth, and thinking that Chen Yuan had exchanged a lively young woman for a matchmaker made his heart feel unwell.

  Lü Yi coughed lightly and said, "Your Excellency, I'm young and ignorant, please give me some face."

  Fortunately, the matter of the 14th and 15th houses was concealed by the two women, and Pang Ji did not know about it. So after a moment's consideration, Pang Ji felt that giving up Lü Yi Jian, an ally, for Chen Yuan alone was not worthwhile. He asked: "May I ask, Prime Minister, was this young man originally from the mansion?"

  Lü Yi Jian shook his head: "No way, if it were in the past, wouldn't it be my people who would have been washed away to the Dragon King Temple?"

  Pang Ji understood a bit and nodded: "So be it, I'll drink this cup of tea."

  A cup of tea was handed to Pong Ki, who drank it in one gulp. Chen Yuan hastily said: "Thank you, Master, for your magnanimity!"

  Pang Ji ignored him.

  Lü Yi Jian said to Chen Yuan: "From now on, when doing things, first see who is a good person and who is an outsider. Wait for me here, I'll go with Tai Shi to handle some matters."

  Chen Yuan replied: "Yes, I understand."

  Lv Yi pulled Pang Ji: "Taishi, it's better for us to enter the palace again. Let's resign from those positions that are hanging on our heads."

  Lü Yi and Pang Ji went to the imperial palace together at night to request an audience with the emperor.

  Emperor Renzong did not want to see Pang Ji originally. To tell the truth, today's events were all triggered by Pang Ji, so Emperor Renzong is now extremely annoyed with him.

  Later, he couldn't resist Empress Pong's persistent pleas and allowed Pong Ki to enter.

  After entering the house, Pongji immediately knelt down beside Renzong and burst into loud sobs.

  Ren Zong saw him crying and his anger dissipated a lot, and he kicked Pang Ji forward: "It's really messy!"

  Only an emperor would dare kick his own father-in-law.

  Pang Ji was kicked and found that the two feet were not as heavy as they were in the morning, and he suddenly understood that his daughter's plea had taken effect. He immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am to blame, I am to blame! It's just that the white jade horse looks good, and I was momentarily greedy. I am willing to accept Your Majesty's punishment!"

  Ren Zong listened to his confession, suppressing the fire in his heart: "If you wanted it, why didn't you just tell me?! Why did you have to sneak around and do it?! Now that you've been caught by outsiders, where can I put my face?!"

  Ren Zong finally spoke out his mind, he didn't want to kill Pang Ji because he wasn't a person who liked killing and violence. The same was true for governing the country, Ren Zong's pursuit was just peace and stability for all.
