Invincible son

Chapter 116 115 [Dust]

"Liu Zheng! You will die a terrible death!"

These were the words that big man Ang Zang yelled before committing suicide in the mountains that day.

At that time, Pei Yue didn't know why, he just thought it was a curse he had given to an enemy before he died.Never expected that the man's enemy turned out to be His Majesty the current Emperor.But in this way, the truth of the past also verified his previous inference.

14 years ago, before his death, Pei Yuan, the first Duke Dingguo, entrusted a scholar named Ling Ping in Kyoto to Gu Liang to take care of him.

At that time, Pei Yuan and Emperor Zhongzong of Daliang passed away one after another, and Liu Xuan, the second son of Zhongzong, succeeded to the throne.

In the second year, Liu Xuan was changed to Yuan Yongning.

Half a year after Emperor Yongning ascended the throne, his body began to feel unwell, and his condition deteriorated so fast that the court began to be in turmoil before he could fully control the situation.

On the tenth day of September in the first year of Yongning, Ling Ping's wife gave birth to a son, who was Pei Yue.

On a certain autumn night, Wang Pingzhang organized a manpower attack on the home of the richest man in Kyoto. The head of the family was a woman whom Emperor Yongning liked before he came to the throne, and she held a huge amount of wealth.

In the chaos of the night, Pei Yue's biological parents died innocently, and the infant Pei Yue was rescued by Pei Zhen and raised under Pei Rong's name.

Soon afterward, Emperor Yongning passed away, and Liu Zheng, the younger brother of his mother and compatriots, the fourth son of Emperor Zhongzong, succeeded to the throne with the support of the important officials of the two governments. This is His Majesty the current emperor.

After sorting out these things in his mind, Pei Yue sighed lightly: "It's no wonder those bandits made inexplicable actions and possessed such formidable strength."

Gu Liang nodded and said: "These bandits should be the power left behind by the Chen family. Although the Chen family does not have a noble title on the surface, it has been the top merchant family in Daliang for decades. The relationship between the rich and powerful is very good. It is no problem to say that merchants are cheap, but if you can do one thing to the extreme, others will not dare to belittle you. I still remember that woman named Chen Qingchen, very It's just a pity that he showed amazing business talent when he was young."

Pei Yue said: "Actually, I have been wondering before, what kind of person can raise two or three thousand soldiers in the mountains, and can develop so many internal influences in the court. After hearing Uncle say these things, I finally understand. With the background of the Chen family, they must have accumulated countless wealth and have deep connections in the court, so after being attacked by Wang Pingzhang 14 years ago, they can still retain such a strong strength."

Gu Liang poured wine for him, and said while drinking: "The most loyal force of the late emperor in the capital is actually the Chen family, even more important than the imperial army. It is not surprising that Wang Pingzhang chose the Chen family to fight. It can only be said that good fortune tricks people , the time for the first emperor to succeed to the throne was too short, and he did not clarify the context of the court, nor did he arrange the children of the Chen family into the imperial army. The illness of the first emperor was very strange. It's getting worse day by day."

He paused for a while, his eyes were stern: "I don't like Wang Pingzhang, but I also admire him. Not everyone has the courage to bet on the family's future before the situation is completely clear."

Pei Yue has also read a lot of history, and knows that this kind of imperial power change has always been the most dangerous time, and blood is flowing at every turn, which has been the case since ancient times.But he was a little sad at the moment, if Gu Liang hadn't lied to him, then the biological parents of this body were like a microcosm of ordinary people in the long river of history, many times they would die unexpectedly without knowing what happened.

So what?

No one cares about their life or death.

The history books record the brilliant achievements of the emperors, generals and ministers, but at most they leave a sentence for thousands of people, "the people are hungry, and the people eat each other".

A few words, but revealing endless cruelty and indifference.

Like Emperor Kaiping, Wang Pingzhang, and the woman in the mountain, what they care about is either the supreme power, the future and destiny, or the deep hatred. As for the life and death of those innocent passers-by, perhaps they have never entered their sight.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue felt intense irritability in his heart.

He doesn't like this world.

"Uncle, the death of the late emperor should be the work of the current majesty, right?" Pei Yue asked after a moment of calm.

Gu Liang looked complicated, hesitantly said: "At that time, the important ministers of the two governments didn't think so, so when he succeeded to the throne, it was very smooth."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Since he succeeded, it must be him who did it."

Gu Liang was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes showed appreciation.

However, Pei Yue did not continue this topic, because even if he had conclusive evidence instead of speculation, it was meaningless.Emperor Kaiping has been in Yuyu for 13 years now, relying on the important ministers of the two governments and Taishi Taige Momoyun, he has a very strong control over Daliang.As long as Pei Yue is not crazy, he will not discuss this matter publicly.

He thought of the woman in the mountain, and suddenly said with a strange expression: "In this way, isn't the woman in the mountain the princess of Daliang?"

Gu Liang had already learned the details of the mountain from him, and now he also reacted, and said solemnly: "The girl you met must be a descendant of the Chen family who can control the wealth and power left by the Chen family. But the problem Yu Xiandi and Chen Qingchen are not married, so they should not have a daughter."

The two looked at each other, both feeling a little headache.

The past has long been turned into a piece of dust, and it is so difficult to find the truth from it.

Pei Yue smiled wryly and said: "Maybe it's that Chen Qingchen who doesn't want to marry into Tian's family, and the late emperor secretly had a daughter with her, isn't it for sure?"

Gu Liang also shook his head and said with a smile: "It's also possible."

Pei Yue said with emotion: "This girl is really a ruthless person. If she is really the late emperor's daughter, wouldn't she plan to dig up her own ancestral grave?"

When he set off from Chen Guanzhen to enter the mountain that night, because of Qin Xian's solution, the problem that had troubled Pei Yue for a long time was solved. He guessed the woman's plan, and then returned to inform Gu Liang.Later, in the face-to-face confrontation in the mountains, the word "north" he said shook the woman's mind, otherwise things might not go so smoothly.

In fact, in Pei Yue's view, the other party's plan was a bit rough.

The woman's plan was to plunder outside the capital to attract the attention of Daliang Chaotang, and then try to attract the Beijing army to the mountains, and secretly organize a group of people to rush directly to Xingliang Mansion in the north of Kyoto, where there is the imperial tomb of Daliang Tianjia.

If the woman was really allowed to destroy the imperial tomb, even if Emperor Kaiping trusted Wang Pingzhang again, the latter would not escape death.

Letting the emperor and Wang Pingzhang kill each other is probably the plan of the descendant of the Chen family.

Gu Liang commented with some disapproval: "I can only say that she is a little whimsical. Even if most of the Beijing army is dragged into the mountains by her, the imperial mausoleum is not so easy to be captured. Even I don't know how many guards there are in Xingliang Mansion." Strength. After all, she is a woman who has never been killed on the battlefield. She acts too radically and blindly walks the edge of the sword. It is difficult to become a great weapon."

Pei Yue agreed with Gu Liang's judgment.

But the problem is that judging from his experience in two lives, when a smart woman starts to go crazy, she still has a lot of wealth, which is very likely to cause incalculable damage.
