Invincible son

Pingzhang's military affairs are important.

This is an official position that occasionally appears in history books. The most recent record is that during the Xianzong Dynasty of the former Wei Dynasty, Yao Kuan, a famous minister of a generation, was appointed by Emperor Xianzong as an important military affairs of Pingzhang after he became an official. It has been more than [-] years so far.

This official position is not very permanent, and it is not necessary to enter the court to govern. It can only provide some opinions when the emperor needs it, so it is more like a false title representing honor and respect.

Luo Ting's proposal shocked many people, and they immediately came to their senses, and they couldn't help feeling admiration.

Leaving aside the symbolic meaning of this official position, there is an extremely important joint that is difficult for ordinary people to notice, and that is that everyone who holds this position is a civil servant who will leave his name in history.In other words, as long as Pei Yue accepts this appointment, his position in the court will be extremely detached. Even Luo Ting and Han Gongduan must be respectful in front of him, let alone other ministers.

Pingzhang has the power to supervise and inquire about all government affairs and government affairs of the country, but he is separated from the entire court system and cannot continue to hold military power.

What's even better is that Pei Yue has no reason to refuse this appointment.

The title of prince is indeed honorable, not to mention that he is the only king with a different surname in Daliang for nearly a hundred years, but being able to become an important matter for Pingzhang's military and state is even more recognized and respected by the ruling and opposition parties.

If he is not satisfied with this, what does Pei Yue want to be?

Liu Xian fell into hesitation.

He didn't understand why Luo Ting did this.

Regardless of whether the turmoil in the southern border has anything to do with Pei Yue or not, it is obvious that the court needs him right now. Wouldn't this move at this time add fuel to the fire?Although Pei Yue was born in Wu Xun, judging from past examples, he has studied history books very deeply, so it is impossible for him not to know the significance of this official representative.

It is of course a very useful method to rise brightly and fall secretly, but it is very likely to completely anger Pei Yue.

Liu Xian remained silent for a long time, looking into Luo Ting's eyes.

The eyes of the two monarchs and ministers met, and Liu Xian suddenly understood the mind of the left governor.

Apparently, Luo Ting also suspected that the turmoil in the southern border was caused by Pei Yue. Perhaps he had expected to be attacked by the imperial court after returning to Beijing, so he asked the army staying in the southern border to make some arrangements in advance.Judging from Han Gongduan's memorial, there are no major problems in the south at the moment, which shows that Pei Yue's move is just a test and pressure.

If the imperial court directly backs down at this time, the next game will be more difficult.

Luo Ting said lightly: "Your Majesty, I believe that His Royal Highness King Jin will understand the difficulties of the court."

If he doesn't understand, then the world will judge right and wrong...

Liu Xian let out a foul breath, Luo Ting is a straightforward conspiracy, no matter whether Pei Yue accepts it or rejects it, the situation in the capital will become more tense in the future.But he didn't have much choice, because many important ministers had already reacted at this moment, and they echoed Luo Ting's proposal one after another.

These people praised Pei Yue with colorful words, as if they wanted to flatter him to the point of sanctification.

After a long time, Liu Xian finally spoke, "Scholar Wu."

Hanlin scholar Wu Cunren stepped forward and said, "The minister is here."

Liu Xiandao: "The decree is drawn up, and Pei Yue, the King of Jin, will be named as the most important military affairs of Pingzhang."

Wu Cunren bowed and said, "I obey the order."

For this well-learned Hanlin scholar, it is easy to write a gorgeous and well-quoted imperial edict in a short time.

Liu Xian took the newly released imperial decree from Hou Yu, read it carefully, and said to Wu Cunren, "You go to the Prince Jin's mansion yourself, and hand over this imperial decree to the King of Jin."

"The minister leads the decree." Wu Cunren responded loudly.

Liu Xian looked around at the ministers in the hall, feeling really tired in his heart, and said calmly, "Regarding the pacification of the southern border, all the ministers will write a policy after returning home, and submit it to me as soon as possible."

The officials took the order, but at the moment, most of them were not in the mood to think about this complicated and grand issue, but could not help but look at the tall and straight Wu Cunren.

But I don't know how His Royal Highness King Jin will respond?

……

Jin Wangfu.

Wu Cunren was not rejected as expected by a few foolish people. He was very respectfully invited to sit in the side hall by the steward of the palace, and the servants immediately offered tea.

After about half a stick of incense, Pei Yue, dressed in normal clothes, walked slowly into the side hall.

Wu Cunren stood up and saluted, "See His Royal Highness King Jin."

Pei Yue looked at this not-so-familiar celebrity in the court, and said calmly: "Master Wu does not need to be too polite. Although I have been living in the mansion recently, I have heard that Master Wu has been promoted step by step, and moved to the right to become a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Master Wu is upright and knowledgeable. He is profound and profound, and he is the most valued successor of Mr. Mo, and now he is showing great ambitions in the court, which is really gratifying and congratulatory."

He spoke very politely, but there was no joy in his tone.

Wu Cunren looked calm, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is absurd, I am ashamed to be an official."

After the two sat down, Pei Yue said calmly: "What can Master Wu learn from you?"

Wu Cunren said: "Your Highness, let me know."

He briefly recounted the events in the Hall of Liangyi, speaking impartially, without deliberately concealing certain details, and then took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, but he did not pretend to read it out, but said calmly: " Your Majesty has something to say, the king of Jin has worked so hard and has the talents of the world, how can he stay away from the court? Although it is the ancestral system of the country that the prince is not allowed to interfere in politics, there are still some flexibility in it, so please His Highness take up the post of Pingzhang's military affairs. job."

Pei Yue remained silent.

He stared at the front, his face was calm.

Wu Cunren was not in a hurry, and calmly waited for his reply.

After a long time, Pei Yue said slowly: "Master Wu, do you think this king should take over this imperial decree?"

He turned his head to look, the sharpness in his eyes made Wu Cunren's heart tremble.

Wu Cunren has served two emperors successively, and followed Mo Haoli for more than ten years, his mind has been honed like iron and stone, but at this moment when Pei Yue's eyes stabbed him, he felt a little dazed.

He bit the tip of his tongue lightly, calmed his mind and asked back: "What do you mean by your Highness?"

Pei Yue smiled softly, and said: "Master Wu is extremely smart, what do you really not understand?"

Wu Cunren frowned slightly, staring into Pei Yue's eyes and said: "Since Your Highness insists on asking, please forgive me for being abrupt and presumptuous. From my point of view, Your Highness should accept this order, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Everyone is greedy and can't be satisfied. This is a well-known truth. But many people can allow themselves to be greedy, but they can't accept others to be like this. Your Highness has spent so much effort to create a clean name over the years. Why bother to destroy it with your own hands? Lose?"

Wu Cunren's expression was extremely sincere.

Pei Yue nodded, and said with a smile: "It's rare, I never thought I could hear some heartfelt words today."

Wu Cunren was silent.

Pei Yue continued: "In that case, please tell Your Majesty, Master Wu, that I cannot accept this decree."

Wu Cunren was puzzled and said: "Your Highness..."

Pei Yue raised his right hand to interrupt his words, suppressed the smile on his face, and said slowly: "Master Wu may not know that the case in Dingguo Mansion has not yet been investigated, and the master of the Pei family is still in a state of confusion, muddled like a fool." So-so. Although this king has already broken through the door, but the blood of the Pei family is still flowing in his bones, how can he let this matter go?"

Wu Cunren said quickly: "This case will definitely be investigated, but it will take time to investigate the case. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Pei Yuedao: "The country governs the world with loyalty and filial piety. This king thinks that he is loyal, and he can't be filial. I think Mr. Wu can understand this king's difficulties."

Wu Cunren was at a loss for words.

Pei Yue said again: "As for the situation in the southern border, this king has already clarified the defense of each army before returning to Beijing. Even if there is a moment of turmoil, it is just a disease of scabies. Your Majesty and the princes of the court don't have to worry, it will only take a while to recover." Haiyan and Heqing."

This is the first time that Wu Cunren has learned that Pei Yue's words are sharp, and the words he prepared on the way there are actually useless.

He recalled what Pei Yue said just now, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said solemnly: "Your Highness, if the imperial court can find out the case of Dingguo Mansion as soon as possible, His Highness will accept this will?"

Pei Yue picked up the teacup, nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

Wu Cunren got up and said: "Your Majesty understands, I will go back to the palace and report to His Majesty."

Pei Yue said: "No."

Wu Cunren left Jinwang Mansion at the respectful invitation of the housekeeper, but Pei Yue sat there without moving for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Yi stepped into the side hall, came up and said respectfully, "Your Highness, there is news from over there."

"Say."

"During the discussion in the palace, someone did enter Uncle Xiang Yang's mansion. Our people dare not get too close to find out what that person said to Young Master Hu."

A cold light flashed in Pei Yue's eyes, and he sarcastically said, "That's all. Tell Pei Yun, get ready to appear."

Feng Yi lowered his head and said, "Follow the order!"
