Invincible son

Chapter 1151 1152 [The world is in a dilemma]

Pei Yue and Jing Chu first met two years ago, when Fang Yunhu was preparing to use Nanqin to set a trap for Gu Fan.

At that time, Taishitai Pavilion was shrouded in the light of Shen Moyun everywhere, but Jing Chu still left a very deep impression on Pei Yue.

When he took out the list of guards written by Gu Fan, it took Jing Chu only two hours to find out who was suspected of being an inner ghost. It is no wonder that he is so shrewd and capable of being in charge of the Kun Department.

Before the Taige was restructured, the Kun Department was responsible for monitoring the officials and people in Kyoto. Almost all noble mansions had their eyes and ears. They had great power and played a pivotal role in the Taige.

Pei Yue didn't think that an unfathomable king like Emperor Kaiping would trust Mu Moyun unreservedly, that's why Luan Yiwei existed and stepped onto the stage.After Qian Bing left the Tai Pavilion to find him, he pointed out that Jing Chu was actually Emperor Kaiping's confidant, and during that turbulent time, he stirred up internal strife among the various ministries in the Tai Pavilion. Pei Yue had no doubts about this.

It wasn't until that day when he bid farewell to Shen Moyun in the imperial prison and watched him write two names on the desktop, one of which was Jing Chu, that Pei Yue knew what kind of talisman this gentle and restrained middle-aged man left for him. .

Even if Jingchu did not have the prestige of Silent Cloud, even if Taishitai Pavilion was changed from Nine Divisions to Six Divisions and was forced to hand over part of its power to Luan Yiwei, this blue-gray government office located in the southwest of the palace still has a very deep heritage and strength.

For Pei Yue, taking control of the Taishitai Pavilion on the basis of the current situation, he already has the ability to effectively threaten the imperial power, or to tear open a gap in that layer of iron curtain.

Of course, there are still some people standing in front of him right now.

Jing Chu was well aware of this, so he said cautiously: "My lord, there may be more ministers impeaching the Marquis of Xiangcheng in the future."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not believe that Xiao Jin sent someone to assassinate me."

He paused, and said with a half-smile: "I ordered people to use the hands of Luan Yiwei to let them find the weapons used by the assassins hiding near the Xiangguo Mansion."

Jing Chu's heart trembled, and there was a crucial message revealed in this sentence, perhaps Pei Yue's personal soldiers had captured the assassin and hid him, and then used the assassin's weapon to frame Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin.

There is another possibility... This assassination was actually a scene arranged by Pei Yue, and the purpose was naturally to deal with Xiao Jin.

Jing Chu suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind, automatically ignored Pei Yue's last words, and said cautiously: "What the Duke said is very true. With the status of the Marquis of Xiangcheng in the army and His Majesty's trust in him, the current evidence is very difficult. Shake the right military machine that holds the real power. And according to the officials, this evidence may not convince the court officials."

In fact, what he said was quite euphemistic. If the person standing in front of him was not Pei Yue, he would definitely point out that this method of framing is very naive.

Who is Xiao Jin?

One of the nine founders of the country, Xiangguo Gong Xiaozhi's direct lineage, has guarded Hucheng for ten years. He is currently the assistant minister, first-class prince, Youjunji, and the commander of the Kyoto garrison. Most people believe that they will succeed Gu in the future. The real power Wu Xun of Liang Zuo's military position.

He is the Minister of the Prime Minister left by Emperor Kaiping to Liu Xian, and he is also one of the few people who can check and balance Pei Yue in the future court.

Even if the assassin was really appointed by Xiao Jin, the emperor would not accept it considering the overall situation, not to mention the so-called ambiguous evidence like now.

Jing Chu didn't know Pei Yue's overall plan. In fact, in the past few months after Shen Moyun's death, the two of them only met a few times in a hurry, and they didn't discuss too in-depth topics.Therefore, he was unavoidably a little apprehensive, using such a simple and rough situation to deal with Xiao Jin was completely inconsistent with Pei Yue's ability to calculate in the past, and there must be more complicated intentions in it.

Pei Yue smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's just a reminder to Xiao Jin, of course I know that something that is not evidence at all can't help him."

Jing Chu gradually came to his senses, and said, "Could it be that the Duke is trying to make a fool of himself?"

Pei Yue looked at him approvingly, and said calmly: "In the past few days, there should be many people joining the camp to impeach Xiao Jin. This move will inevitably cause conflicts between Xiao Jin and me. I am afraid that Xiao Jin himself will have similar problems. Let Luan Yiwei continue to show the limelight, Taige is diving under the water, there is only one thing to do."

Jing Chu lowered his head and said, "Please give me your orders."

Pei Yue's eyes were burning, and he lowered his voice and said: "All the courtiers involved in this matter, no matter whether they are fanning the flames or filled with righteous indignation, none of them should be missed. Let the spies of Taige in various mansions cheer up 12 points and keep their eyes open Keep an eye on everyone, and get conclusive evidence for any private collusion."

Jing Chu said seriously: "The next official takes orders."

Pei Yue said to this point, if he still can't understand the joint, then he is not qualified to take over the Taishitai Pavilion.

After watching Jing Chu leave, Pei Yue did not return to the inner house immediately, but walked slowly to the study outside the front yard.

Feng Yi and Gai Ju stood beside him silently, looking at Pei Yue who was sitting by the window.

After a long time, Pei Yue said slowly: "Is that swordsman still safe?"

Feng Yi replied: "Young master, he didn't do anything unusual, but he asked me to tell the young master this afternoon that he will definitely obey the young master's arrangement no matter whether he lives or dies. I just hope that the young master will not forget his request."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Let him not worry."

Then there was another long silence.

Feng Yi and Gai Ju looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried, because they could feel Pei Yue's hesitation and hesitation at the moment.The two have followed Pei Yue for many years, have experienced many storms together, and know his habits very well, which is why they feel worried. After all, no matter how difficult the situation is, Pei Yue will not be so hesitant.

"Master, what should we do next?" Feng Yi mustered up his courage to break the silence.

Pei Yue sighed softly, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and said slowly: "Judging from the rumors in the capital and the reaction of the court, Xian Chunqiu's staff finally couldn't help but jump again after the Yanzhi incident. Come out, the same is true of Xiwu's detailed work, logically speaking, I should strike while the iron is hot, but..."

He hesitated to speak, but Feng Yi and Gai Ju couldn't answer.

"Forget it, it's just hypocrisy to sigh like this. Feng Yi."

"exist."

"Let our people keep an eye on the whereabouts of those secret agents, and at the same time act according to the original plan, and involve the twelve ministers in this matter."

"Yes!"

Pei Yue waved his left hand, and the two bowed and retreated.

The night was silent, with a breezy breeze.

Pei Yue's eyes were slightly out of focus, which was extremely rare for him.

A burst of fresh fragrance hit, accompanied by Ye Qi's clear voice: "Are you going to sit here overnight?"

Pei Yue shook his head, his tone slightly erratic: "Ye Qi."

"Ok?"

"Actually, I hope I don't take this step. Over the years, I have encountered other people's calculations, and I have also taken the initiative to calculate the enemy, but I have always adhered to the bottom line, which is not to involve innocent people, but this time I broke it with my own hands. The twelve ministers are strong or weak, and their personal morals are not perfect, but they have nothing to do with this matter after all."

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ye Qi walked to him and sat down. As the only person who knew Pei Yue's overall plan, she could certainly understand her husband's entangled emotions at the moment.

Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, but for Pei Yue, it is not easy to make up his mind.

Ye Qi raised his hand to smooth Pei Yue's frowning brows, and said softly: "If you want to realize your ambitions, you can't just rely on others' trust and concessions. The road to power is like sailing against the current, and many times you can only take some unreasonable measures. Such an aboveboard method. But I believe that my husband will not be blinded by the desire for power, and will not become a walking corpse who has abandoned his original intention and ideal."

Pei Yue turned his head, looked at Ye Qiliang's bright eyes, and couldn't help feeling a warm current in his heart.

He smiled gently and said no more.
