Invincible son

Chapter 1259 1260 [Drinking wine for a long time]

When the time came to the end of May, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River were full of verdant greenery, showing a thriving trend.

More and more people accepted the result of the overthrow of their family and country. Although there were still many cities in the Southern Zhou Dynasty who refused to open their doors and surrender, this was already expected by Pei Yue.

As the footsteps of the Liang cavalry penetrated into various parts of the Southern Dynasties, it was only a matter of time before the flag was changed.Because Xian Chunqiu was dead, Emperor Qingyuan was confined in the palace, Xu Huiyan and Fang Xiexiao returned to Beiliang, and the remaining people could not change the situation even if they fought stubbornly.

Han Gongduan, who was in power on the right side of Daliang, led a large number of capable officials to the south, and with the assistance of the military, cleared Zhang Tianmu.They used thunderous methods to forcibly eliminate the powerful forces parasitizing countless people, and then distributed those fertile paddy fields to the people.With just this one move, Daliang officials received extremely warm welcome from the people everywhere.

The government that had been paralyzed for several months began to perform its functions, and the census of the population was carried out simultaneously, as if a breeze swept from north to south, sweeping away the corruption and weakness that had shrouded this land for hundreds of years.

The style of Jian'an City has taken on a new look. Nowadays, it is difficult to see high-ranking officials and dignitaries with hundreds of guards in the streets and alleys of the past, but the prosperity has not weakened in the slightest.Because after breaking through the man-made barriers, the Daliang Company, represented by the Xiangyun, entered the southern border, and expanded in a short period of time, further enhancing the business exchanges between the north and the south.

In the manor that belongs to Xu Churong exclusively in Nancheng, the atmosphere today is a little awkward.

Shen Danmo took a small sip of the fine wine specially brought out by the woman across the street. It is said that this is the Qinghe Xu family's collection. The taste is indeed soft and mellow, and it also has a faint aroma.

Xu Churong sat expressionlessly, and there was a rare bit of resentment in those clear eyes.

Shen Danmo put down the wine cup, couldn't help laughing and said: "Are you still angry?"

Xu Churong hummed softly, and said angrily, "Sister Shen is used to deceiving people."

Shen Danmo wondered: "Where did you say that?"

Xu Churong said: "Back then in Chengjing City, what did Sister Shen say, do you still remember?"

Shen Danmo recalled it carefully, and couldn't help laughing.

At that time, she went from Yuzhou to Qinzhou, and she was full of worries about her father's safety, and she had no idea about her relationship with Pei Yue.Originally thought that this life was destined for nothing, and when he met Xu Churong who was connected with fate, he couldn't help but express a few words of emotion.

Their relationship also became close because of the heart-to-heart relationship at that time, but who would have thought that the times would change, and she would make a lifelong decision with Pei Yue after returning to the capital.

No wonder Xu Churong always looked at traitors.

Thinking of this, Shen Danmo smiled lightly and said: "Actually speaking seriously, I am indeed inferior to sister Churong. I have known Pei Yue very early, but there has always been a gap between us, so it was an accident to take that step. But Churong Sister Rong is not afraid of life and death, and has contributed a lot to him to determine the overall situation of the southern border, especially the Jian'an Change that changed the situation. Such a feat is really admirable."

What Xu Churong said made Xu Churong blush, and he said in a low voice: "Sister Shen, don't be joking, who said that I did those things... for him?"

Shen Danmo blinked and said: "But I heard that Pei Yue is going to take you back to the capital, and you agreed, right?"

Xu Churong said nervously: "I didn't agree!"

"Ah? It seems that Pei Yue misunderstood you. I'll go to him tomorrow to clarify." Shen Danmo said softly.

Xu Churong had a bitter face, and it took him a long time to say: "Sister Shen is a bully."

Shen Danmo laughed crisply, and finally put away her teasing thoughts, got up, walked to her and sat down, held her hand and said, "Instead of fighting with you, why not make a careful plan, how to deal with Ye Qi when you return to the capital in the future?" A lady?"

Xu Churong couldn't help but think of the shocking side with Ye Qi in Jiangling City.

The woman in red, who was full of cold and murderous aura, left a deep impression on her.

Shen Danmo's proposal moved her a little, but she quickly shook her head and said, "Pei Yue definitely doesn't like us doing this."

Shen Danmo was slightly surprised, and looked her up and down, until Xu Churong's fair skin turned pink again, and then said with emotion: "That guy is really lucky, if he dares to bully you in the future, I will definitely not sit idly by."

Xu Churong smiled: "Thank you, sister."

She paused slightly, and asked curiously: "Sister Cai just said that she was going back to the capital, so didn't Pei Yue take care of the affairs here before going back?"

The smile on Shen Danmo's face gradually receded, looking at the lush summer scenery in the courtyard, his tone became a bit colder: "If he doesn't come back, some people may have trouble sleeping and eating."

……

Imperial Palace, Daqing Hall.

This magnificent palace, which once symbolized the core of power in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, has now become a jail where everyone from the Tian family headed by Emperor Qingyuan was imprisoned.

Inside the hall, there are masters from the five divisions of Taishitai Pavilion who personally guard the members of the Southern Zhou royal family, and outside the hall, there are sharp soldiers from Wuding Guards who stand on guard at three steps, one post at five steps, and one post at five steps.Without Pei Yue's warrant, no one from Zhou could approach the Daqing Hall, let alone deliver news or meet privately.

After taking control of Jian'an City for more than half a month, Pei Yue finally came outside the Daqing Hall, with a middle-aged civil servant beside him.

Zuo Si, the head of the five divisions, stepped forward and said respectfully, "See Wei Guogong, and you are in power."

Pei Yue nodded slightly, and asked, "How is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?"

Zuo Si replied: "It's okay, but just drink blindly, and get drunk every time."

Pei Yue and Han Gongduan looked at each other, and then ordered: "Open the door."

Zuo Si quickly directed his subordinates to push open the front door of Daqing Hall. Although the light in the hall was slightly dim, the air was still fresh and there was no dirty scene.

Pei Yue stepped into the main hall, and led by Zuo Si to the east side hall, where Emperor Qingyuan, Empress and Prince were imprisoned.

It was already noon now, but the emperor of the Southern Dynasty who had been in power for more than ten years seemed to have just woken up, his face was pale and his eye sockets were swollen, and it was obvious at a glance that his bones were extremely weak.

The room was incredibly quiet.

Emperor Qingyuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking at the young man in front of him, his eyes never moved from the beginning to the end, as if Han Gongduan and Taishitai Pavilion spy standing beside him did not exist at all.

Pei Yue bowed his hands and said calmly, "I have seen Your Majesty."

The word Your Majesty was extremely harsh to Emperor Qing Yuan's ears.

He vaguely recalled that two years ago, this young man, as the envoy of Beiliang welcoming his relatives, had such a posture when he met the saint for the first time.

Neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm.

However, at that time he was still the extremely honorable Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now he has been reduced to a prisoner who is dying.

Emperor Qing Yuan suddenly laughed.

The laughter became louder and louder, full of desolation and resentment.

Han Gongduan frowned slightly.

However, Pei Yue didn't have any fluctuations in his mood, he just looked at the old man sitting by the bed indifferently, at his gray temple hair and the unconcealable grief and anger on his face, just watching quietly.

After a long time, Emperor Qingyuan finally stopped laughing, raised his hand to wipe away the turbid tears on his cheeks, and asked mockingly, "What are you doing here?"

Pei Yue raised his finger to the side, and Zuo Si knowingly brought over two top chairs.

Pei Yue first asked Han Gongduan to sit down, then placed his high chair in front of Emperor Qing Yuan, and said slowly, "Let's take a look at the King of Subjugation."

Emperor Qingyuan suddenly changed his face, and said angrily: "Presumptuous!"

Pei Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a calm tone: "The Southern Dynasties were all because of His Majesty, and indulging in drunkenness will not change this fact."

One sentence left Emperor Qing Yuan speechless and trembling all over.
