Invincible son

Chapter 169 168 [Crisis]

"Pei Yue, are you convicted?"

Emperor Kaiping asked again. An emperor like him who has been in power for more than ten years would not easily reveal his true thoughts through his tone, so many courtiers who wanted to impeach Pei Yue did not dare to make a decision immediately.

But if Pei Yue can't give a strong enough rebuttal, the emotions in these people's hearts will soon converge into a turbulent wave.

Pei Yue raised his head, faced Emperor Kaiping's gloomy gaze with such an impolite gesture, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

Anyone who is familiar with Emperor Kaiping knows that he attaches great importance to the majesty of the emperor, and he is unsmiling in front of most of his courtiers.Hearing Pei Yue's stubborn answer at this moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Not guilty?"

Pei Yue lowered his gaze and looked straight ahead, and replied: "I dare not tell lies in front of Your Majesty, these five crimes have nothing to do with me."

Emperor Kaiping pondered: "Pei Rong is your biological father, so what he said are all lies?"

Pei Yue took a breath, and said seriously: "You can tell the truth by just debating it."

This answer did not exceed Emperor Kaiping's expectations.

For the young man in front of him, he has very detailed information.From his previous situation in Dingguo Mansion to the changes that have taken place in the past six months, all his deeds have already been presented in front of his royal case.This information did not use the Taishitai Pavilion, but was collected through another set of very secret personnel.

The reason why Emperor Kaiping decided to promote Pei Yue was not to use his title to offset the impact of punishing Pei Rong, but also because he saw in Pei Yue a kind of courage that would go on despite thousands of people.

Fighting to death with the bandits in Luliu Village, following the Beijing army into Hengduan Mountain to suppress the bandits, and facing the sixth prince Liu Zhi still maintained an attitude of neither humble nor overbearing.As for the true identity of this young man, his judgment is very similar to Taijun Pei's.Based on the atrocities committed by Renzong after his serious illness 14 years ago, Pei Yue should be the orphan of a bad family, so Pei Zhencai raised him under Pei Rong's name.

A disciple of the Pei family who does not have the blood of the Pei family has shown sufficient will and ability. Emperor Kaiping doesn't mind giving him a chance to see if he has the ability to leap into the dragon's gate.

"Pass it to Pei Rong."

As soon as the emperor issued an order, the inner eunuch walked out of the Chengtian Hall quickly.

"You step back." Emperor Kaiping said to Pei Yue.

"Yes."

Taking advantage of the opportunity of turning around, Pei Yue had a brief eye contact with Gu Liang, and the two quickly understood each other's thoughts.

Gu Liang was obviously worried, no matter how bastard Pei Rong was, he was Pei Yue's biological father in name after all, if he was asked to turn black and white in the court meeting, as long as Pei Yue failed to deal with one thing, the consequences would be very serious.But at this time, he couldn't stand up and help directly. In the final analysis, this matter belongs to the Dingguo Mansion's family affairs, and Gu Liang couldn't be too explicit under the eyes of everyone.

Pei Yue reassured him.

In fact, after the eunuch read the memorial, he was not as panicked as the other courtiers thought. This was because his psychological quality was extremely strong, and more importantly, the five major crimes listed by Pei Rong were slightly funny.

If Pei Rong only talked about filial piety, there might still be a long dispute between the two, but Pei Yue couldn't figure out what the meaning of the last three crimes was?

Accusing him of greed, concealing military information, and colluding with bandits, Pei Yue wanted to smash Pei Rong's head open to see if it contained straw.

Returning to the rearmost position, the officer next to him subconsciously distanced himself from him.

These people looked at him with serious scrutiny in their eyes.

Pei Yue is no stranger to this kind of gaze. Whether it was the initial stage of his business in his previous life, or the short time he stayed in Dingguo Mansion after crossing, he often encountered such gazes. Even if he didn't like it, he was not afraid.

Before Pei Rong arrived, several important events were announced at the court meeting.

The first thing is the transfer of Gu Liang's official position. He will step down from his position as the commander of the Beijing Army's Longxiang Camp and change to Chengjing's camp.This is a temporary official position, which is not permanent. It is responsible for coordinating the defense of the five battalions in the south in normal times, and in command of the five battalions in wartime, and can also control the four states in the south.

At the same time, Gu Liang's title went one step further. After several years of stagnation in the position of the second-class marquis, he finally succeeded in being promoted to the first-class marquis, standing side by side with Lu Min.If the national war in the south breaks out in the future, as long as the hard bone of the Southern Zhou Dynasty can be gnawed, Gu Liang will definitely become the second official duke of the dynasty.

Pei Yue stood at the back, even though he couldn't see the scene of Gu Liang leading the decree to thank him, he was still sincerely happy for him.

The second thing is that Li Bingzhong took over Gu Liang's position and was transferred to the head of the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army. This transfer shocked many people.

Even if it was only a seventh-rank official at the meeting today, they knew everything about the official circles in Kyoto. They quickly understood that there was something wrong with Li Bingzhong, and when they thought of the scene where the thirteen supervisory censors joined hands to impeach Wang Pingzhang, they couldn't help feeling aroused in their hearts. Doubts: Could it be that His Majesty hates Wang Pingzhang and wants someone else to replace him?
Although Emperor Kaiping clearly opposed Wang Pingzhang's act of begging for bones, this does not mean that he still values ​​No.1 in the Daliang Army as much as he did back then.

With the transfer of Li Bingzhong, the position of the left governor of the five armies' governor's mansion became vacant.

The commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army's Beiying, Guo Kaishan, Hou Chengyi, took over the command of the five armies.

The current patriarch of the Qi State Mansion, second-class Qi Yunbo Yin Wei has made great contributions in the frontier defense, and was promoted to the third-class Qi Yunhou and took over as the head coach of the Beiying.

Each of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army drew a guard, and made a rotation defense with the frontier army in advance.

Pei Yue concentrated his attention and kept these changes firmly in his heart.

What happened to Li Bingzhong was not surprising. After Shen Moyun made a move, Pei Yue decided that the old man was going to be unlucky.A character like Mo Moyun would definitely not go to war just for a mere Li Zijun, and Li Bingzhong was barely the target.It's just that the successor turned out to be the North Camp coach Guo Kaishan, not the West Camp coach Changxing Hou Qujiang who Wang Pingzhang trusted more, which made Pei Yue a little strange.

Yin Wei is the father of Yin Dao, another general among the descendants of the founding prince.According to Gu Fan, this person is extremely brave, and his family's marksmanship is unparalleled. He is one of the few masters in their generation who can compete with Gu Liang in martial arts.

Immediately afterwards, the announcement of the list of three guards for the border defense made Pei Yue feel a sense of crisis.

Pei Yue was not familiar with the guard in the northern camp, but the Yanshan guard in the southern camp and the brave guard in the west camp had a close relationship with him.

Li Jin, the commander of the Yanshan Guard, has just been conferred the title of Yanshan Zi. He is honest and not pedantic, and he and Pei Yue formed a deep friendship when they suppressed the bandits. People can also help each other.

The name of the Commander of the Valiant Guards was Pang Bin, and Pei Yue had a deep impression on him.In the Chen Guanzhen military meeting, Pang Bin showed the image of the straight and brave general Lu very clearly.Of course, for Pei Yue, Pang Bin's fate is not important, but there are his elder brothers Qin Xian and Xue Meng in the brave guard.

Qin Xian and Xue Meng were temporarily transferred to the South Camp when the Hengduan Bandits were suppressed, and returned to the West Camp after the war.

Now they have to go to the border to rotate.

Pei Yue was a little confused at the moment.

Not only Gu Liang, but also Li Jin, Qin Xian and Xue Meng all had to go to the border, which meant that the contacts he had accumulated in the past half a year were instantly wiped out.He looked at the emperor on the dragon chair with a complicated expression, not knowing whether it was a coincidence or someone did it on purpose.

However, there was no time for him to continue thinking at the moment, because the eunuch led a man into the main hall.

Pei Yue turned his head to look, and the man looked over at the same moment.

Pei Rong kept walking, and suddenly let out a light sneer as he passed by Pei Yue.
