Invincible son

Chapter 512 511 [Bewildering and confusing]

The imperial palace, in the Hall of Liangyi.

Except for Pei Yue, Emperor Kaiping summoned all important ministers of the state.

The two governors of the East Mansion, Mo Haoli and Luo Ting, the West Mansion Military Planner Wang Pingzhang, the imperial historian Huang Rentai, the Minister of Officials Ning Huai'an, the Secretary of the Ministry of War Liu Daxia, the Governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion Guo Kaishan, the commander of the Beijing Army's West Camp Qu Jiang, Li Bingzhong, the coach of the Southern Camp, and Emperor Kaiping had previously mentioned to Pei Yue that Tan Fu, Marquis of Xiuwu, was about to take over as the coach of the Northern Camp.

What surprised Pei Yue even more was that Mo Moyun was here. As the chief official of Taishitai Pavilion, this big man usually only appeared at extremely important court meetings.

The atmosphere in the hall was not dull, and the expressions of the important ministers were also very relaxed. Emperor Kaiping even specially granted seats to three veteran ministers, Mo Haoli, Wang Pingzhang and Huang Rentai.

Pei Yue stepped forward calmly and saluted, "My subject, Pei Yue, sees Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

Emperor Kaiping looked at the document in Pei Yue's hand, and asked with great interest, "What are you holding?"

Pei Yue replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is some evidence I collected when I was in Lingzhou."

"What evidence?"

"Evidence that Xue Tao, governor of Lingzhou, violated the court's laws."

"Oh?" Emperor Kaiping raised his eyebrows, and asked with increasing interest: "Do you know why I called you here?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Emperor Kaiping smiled meaningfully: "It's a coincidence. I was discussing Xue Tao's issue with the family of all the ministers. I thought that you should have a more realistic opinion after staying in Lingzhou for more than half a year, so I called you here. I never thought You actually prepared, and prepared in such detail."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the officials in the hall seemed a little strange.

Although the war in the western region ended with a great victory for the country, the chaos in Lingzhou and the losses of the Liang army in the early stage cannot be ignored, especially the low combat power of the Guping army.Xue Tao, as the governor of Lingzhou and concurrently the leader of the Diange Bachelor, can be said to be a high-ranking official in the civil service group after the ruling of the Eastern Mansion, so he must bear an inescapable responsibility for this.

It happened that when the emperor was a little sleepy, Pei Yue thoughtfully sent him a pillow.

These important ministers are not deep and ruthless characters in the city. It is hard not to think deeply when encountering such a situation.

With calm eyes, Pei Yue replied calmly: "Your Majesty, are you saying that the inner eunuch who passed the decree informed the minister just now?"

The regular servants and inner eunuchs standing in the hall seemed to be struck by lightning, and they were so frightened that they trembled. I just thought that this young man was really crazy. Didn't he know that such a sentence would attract people's heads?
Emperor Kaiping obviously didn't expect such an answer, so he couldn't help laughing.

Mo Haoli turned his head and said a little sternly: "Pei Yue, don't act presumptuously in front of Your Majesty."

Pei Yue smiled wryly and said: "Lord Mo, this junior dare not be presumptuous in front of His Majesty, but when I received this dossier and was about to enter the palace to see His Majesty, the eunuch who delivered the order came. It was indeed a coincidence. The juniors have to make it clear."

Mo Haoli said noncommittally: "If you have something to say, say it well, don't pretend to be dangerous."

"Yes."

Pei Yue bowed his hands.

Others looked at him with jealousy. Not only was this young dignitary treated as his own son by Gu Liang, but now even Mo Haoli, who has survived four dynasties, took the initiative to help him cover up his crime of disrespect. .

However, Pei Yue didn't think so, and at the same time he was a little wary.

He was very impressed with Mo Haoli, which originated from the dialogue between the four-dynasty veteran and him after he overthrew Sun Dacheng and Qibao Pavilion at the court meeting in the fourth year of Kaiping.That was the first time he had a clear understanding of the cultivation base and city government of a big man, but since Mo Haoli took the initiative to reveal his past friendship with Mr. Xi, Pei Yue had no hostile thoughts towards him.

However, these two sentences today, in Pei Yue's view, reveal a kind of obscure hostility.

"Since you have prepared the evidence, submit it for me to see."

"The minister obeys the order."

Pei Yue handed the dossier to an inner eunuch who came down, and then stood there calmly.

Emperor Kaiping opened the dossier and looked at it for a while, then snorted coldly: "You bastard!"

He looked at the inner eunuch and said, "Pass this file to the left and right governors and Wei Guogong."

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense, Mo Haoli and the others looked very solemn after quickly flipping through the pages.

Emperor Kaiping said angrily: "I handed over Lingzhou to Xue Tao, and also let him be a scholar of the palace and bestow many honors. I want him to be the backing of the West Road Frontier Army and build a solid line of defense for Daliang. This The bastard actually regards Lingzhou as his back garden, and the past two years have been sold by officials to embezzle official rations, how brave he is!"

Mo Haoli got up and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was the old minister who recommended Xue Tao to be the governor of Lingzhou. The old minister is also responsible for this matter."

Emperor Kaiping gave him a meaningful look, but he didn't follow this topic, because it was his own idea that the past incident involved the change of the structure of the East Mansion, and Mo Haoli just spoke it out for him.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. The bastard Xue Tao is willing to degenerate. I made him an extremely human minister and gave him a mansion with good land, but he didn't make him a local emperor in Lingzhou! Mo Moyun, why didn't the Taishitai Pavilion find any clues? , I have tens of thousands of spies, can't they all be arranged?"

Emperor Kaiping turned his anger to his confidant who stood silently aside.

Mo Moyun replied calmly: "Your Majesty, Xue Tao's actions are cunning and secretive, and with his special status and power in his hands, the Taiwan Pavilion cannot report it rashly without conclusive evidence."

Emperor Kaiping seemed to have calmed down a bit, and asked again: "Have you found it now?"

Mo Moyun nodded and said: "Taige cadre's secret agent Li Yuheng, alias Huakui Li Zhenshu, used this identity to get close to Xue Tao, and pretended to be under his control. He has already found out his detailed criminal evidence. He just arrived in Kyoto yesterday. His Majesty reports."

Emperor Kaiping waved his hand and said, "Since Pei Yue has evidence here, file yours."

The exchange between the monarch and his ministers was quick and short, and Pei Yue couldn't help sneering in his heart. This Emperor's Majesty is really hard to change, but who can hide it from such a show?

It's just that he doesn't have the time to think about the real intention of Emperor Kaiping's gesture, because Mo Haoli stared at him suddenly and asked: "Marquis Zhongshan, I want to know how you got these evidences?"

He paused, and said in a deep voice: "Even Taige needs to spend a lot of effort to collect Xue Tao's criminal evidence. You have been in Lingzhou for less than a year and spent most of your time on the battlefield. How can you investigate Xue Tao?" So clear?"

In Pei Yue's plan, he originally didn't intend to tell Zhao Xianhong at this time, because this is the first time he tried to intervene in the personnel changes of the top officials of the dynasty, and the cards must be lifted at the most critical moment to be enough to shock people's hearts.

It's just that Mo Haoli is not an ordinary person, he looks old and can always see through the essence of things with his dim old eyes.

Pei Yue had learned this skill a long time ago.

Facing the gazes all around him, Pei Yue was extremely calm at this moment, and said indifferently: "To tell the truth, Mr. Mo, when I first went to Lingzhou, Xue Tao hosted a banquet and tried to snatch the briquettes in Lingzhou. The right to franchise. From then on, I knew that this man was ambitious and greedy, but there are always loyal people in the huge Lingzhou. Therefore, I cooperated with Zhao Xianhong, the prefect of Xingyang, and I was responsible for investigating Xue Tao's connection with the general in the army. Illegality in Charing State."

Mo Haoli nodded slowly, with a calm expression on his face.

Wang Pingzhang on the other side blinked his eyes, and a sense of joy quietly rose in his heart.
