Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 549

Some words, until the end, the monarch and his ministers did not speak out.Just like the emperor did not disclose Pei Ju's crimes at the court meeting, it's not that it can't be said, but it's unnecessary.Most of the so-called political terms are so twists and turns, not so much a tacit understanding, but a tacit understanding.

You know everything, and you can't do anything if you don't.

Du Ruhui and Xue Shou guessed the truth, but they were not allowed to ask the emperor, let alone ask, even if the emperor wanted to tell them, they were not allowed to express any opinions.

The two walked out of the imperial city with their own thoughts.

"Brother Du, who do you think will be the next to enter the Political Affairs Hall?" Xue Shou asked with a smile.

Pei Ju's elimination was already an established fact, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.If he doesn't want to be decent, then as Du Ruhui said, then help him to be decent.

Then again, what Pei Ju is afraid of now is not losing his status, but the emperor's dislike for Wenxi Pei's family.

Thinking about it carefully, once such a young emperor grows disgusted with Wen Xi's Pei family, the next few decades will probably be miserable for Pei's family.

Du Ruhui murmured: "This matter should be decided by His Majesty, it is not for us to speculate randomly."

"It's okay, you and I are just chatting, there are too many things to do." Xue Shou said.

Du Ruhui glanced at him sideways, "What's the matter, you want to bet again?"

"Right on my mind."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui was a little speechless.In the past, when His Majesty had not ascended the throne, these ministers in the hidden residence liked to bet. Sometimes they bet on which minister the late emperor would use, and sometimes they bet on what tricks Li Jiancheng and others would make.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Du Ruhui never gambled again, especially when it involved government affairs.

Because, from the initial closeness to His Majesty, he gradually changed to respect and submission.

The word "junchen" has never been spoken.

If it's just lip service, then the end will definitely be miserable.

Today's His Majesty, ascended to the throne at the age of a weak crown, holds the universe in his hands, manages the military and politics with one hand, and wipes out the Turks. This is not an ordinary emperor.

If the success of foreign military affairs can only prove the emperor's excellent war talent, then this time to deal with the plague in Luozhou fully demonstrated the emperor's political means.

He didn't dare to use the emperor's decision as a reason to bet.

"There are a lot of things to do. If you are energetic, then deal with political affairs seriously. Don't disappoint His Majesty's trust in us."

After speaking, he lifted his foot and left.

Seeing this, Xue Shou smiled, and said in a low voice, "Old Du, Lao Du, you really are a very qualified competitive friend."

There is also fierce competition within the imperial family.

This is true of generals, and so is civil servants.

Now, Xue Shou and Du Ruhui are the emperor's right-hand men, and they have no intention of competing in their hearts, that's not normal.

Pei House.

After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, Pei Ju quickly regained consciousness.

He dismissed everyone, leaving only his son Pei Xuanji alone in the room.

"It came to light."

Pei Ju's first words made Pei Xuanji's face pale.

"How did it leak?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty is even smarter than I imagined." Pei Ju smiled wryly, "Either it was found out secretly, or Mrs. Zheng betrayed us, but it doesn't matter anymore."

"How can it be unimportant!" Pei Xuanji asked: "If Mrs. Zheng betrayed us, why did they do it?"

Pei Ju closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and said: "Let's put these things aside for now. I will have time to worry about the Zheng family's affairs in the future. At present, our top priority is to obtain His Majesty's understanding. Otherwise, in the next few decades , the Pei family will be getting more and more difficult."

After this incident, Pei Ju could see that whoever dares to underestimate the current emperor will pay a heavy price.

He is a little proud.

The emperor can defeat the crown prince, the king of Qin, the king of Qi, and the three sons to ascend the throne, how could it be such a simple person.

Pei Xuanji was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Pei Ju knew that this son was useless.So he reprimanded: "Idiot, it's not the end of the mountain yet!"

"But the child really doesn't know what to do."

Facing his incompetent son, Pei Ju comforted him: "It's okay, the Pei family hasn't lost yet, there are concubines Xian and the sixth prince in the palace, we still have a chance."

"But the sixth prince is still young." Pei Xuanji sighed.

"Idiot, what are you thinking? How old is His Majesty today? At least he can rule the world for decades." Pei Ju said solemnly: "This is a tug of war, and we have to wear it down slowly."

Pei Xuanji hesitated and said: "My lord, the sixth prince is not a descendant."

"Is His Majesty a descendant?" Pei Ju asked back.

Pei Xuanji froze for a moment, then fell silent.

It stands to reason that His Majesty is a direct descendant.After all, Concubine Wan Gui was canonized as Empress Wan when the first emperor was around.

However, Pei Xuanji knew that his old father didn't mean that.

When Li Jiancheng and other concubines were alive, His Majesty is only a concubine, and he is still a weak concubine prince.

"My lord, is there really a chance?" he asked.

Pei Ju said helplessly: "Originally, we could place multiple bets. At that time, even if the sixth prince is not the one who succeeds in the end, the Pei family will not have any loss. But if you do something stupid for your father, if you want to let the six princes succeed in [-] or [-] years. When Mrs. Pei returns to court, she must support the sixth prince."

Those who do not plan for the future are not enough for a time.

This is what Pei Ju realized very early on. The current emperor's ascension to the throne does not mean that the Pei family can sit back and relax.

Because the current queen was born in Hongnong Yang's family.

Once the queen's son-in-law is canonized as the prince, the Pei family will be caught in a decision again.At that time, only the Central Minister will be able to join the game.

His body was old, and he was about to sink into the ground.Before that, he hoped that Pei Shiqing could represent the Pei family and join the game.

The Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince in the palace are his betting targets. Once he wins, the Pei family will flourish within a hundred years.

However, because of his impatience, he stabbed the basket.

Now not only is he about to be out, but Pei Shiqing is also hopeless.In this way, if Mrs. Pei leaves the center, the concubine Xian and the sixth prince in the palace will also lose their arms.

At that time, how to compete with other princes.

What made him regret even more was that he had offended the emperor and left Pei's family with an extremely bad impression in the emperor's mind.

If the emperor's forgiveness cannot be obtained, not only is there no hope for the Pei family, but even the virtuous concubine and the sixth prince in the palace will be implicated.

Thinking of the emperor's age, Pei Ju couldn't help panicking.

For such a young emperor, he should have had no problem in controlling the world for [-] or [-] years.As far as the Pei family is concerned, if the emperor's forgiveness cannot be obtained, then within [-] to [-] years, the entire generation of the Pei family will not be able to reach the center.

This is the scariest thing, the thing that scares Pei Ju the most.

A generation!
Opening a generation gap with other families, this is no longer backward, but missing.

And a generation later, when a new crown prince appears, how will the Pei family win the favor of the new crown prince?

There are too many uncertain factors, so many that Pei Ju panics.

Pei Xuanji asked cautiously: "My lord, what should we do to obtain His Majesty's understanding?"

Hearing this, Pei Ju fell silent.

It was a problem, a problem that had to be solved now, and it had to be solved while he was alive.

Otherwise, he will die without resting his eyes.

If this problem cannot be solved, everything is empty talk, and things will only develop in the direction of the abyss.
