Invincible son

Chapter 576 575 [The setting sun is like blood]

"Are you a loyal minister of Daliang?"

Gu Liang suddenly asked a sharp question.

Pei Yue asked back: "What is a loyal minister?"

Gu Liang smiled and said, "A subject loyal to His Majesty."

Pei Yue replied without changing his face: "At least for now, I am a loyal minister."

Gu Liang raised his hand and nodded at him, and then let out a burst of heroic and hearty laughter, startling the birds in the forest.

After he stopped laughing, he said calmly: "Since you are a loyal minister, you should be sympathetic to the Sacred Heart and not cause His Majesty more troubles. Your manor earns money from the pockets of the subjects of Liang Liang, which is completely different from the honeycomb briquette that benefits the people. It's different. Of course His Majesty likes silver. After all, without silver, he can't build an elite army that sweeps the world, but what he values ​​most is his reputation in history. For a king who wants to be famous forever, there is nothing better than this more important."

Gu Liang took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Back then, Sun Dacheng and his like wanted to use your briquette recipe as an advanced step. Guess why His Majesty didn't agree in the end? Could it be that just because of Luo Ting's toughness can help you?" You block the knife?"

Speaking of this, Pei Yue has completely awakened, and said gratefully and with shame: "I'm still too young."

"There is no need to do that. I was not as good as you when I was your age." Gu Liang sighed and continued to explain: "The manor is a luxurious property after all, and it is not fundamentally different from brothels and restaurants. If His Majesty personally participates, it will be equivalent to Put the crime of looting people's wealth on your own head. As long as you make this suggestion, the world will regard the manor as His Majesty's property, and you are just a puppet on the surface. But letting the Chen family take a share will not only block Keeping the mouths of the world, but also allowing His Majesty to benefit, and at the same time, you can also avoid worries, this is an act that kills two birds with one stone."

Pei Yue said convincingly: "I will keep my uncle's teachings in mind."

Gu Liang continued to drink, although his face was a bit drunk, but his eyes were extraordinarily clear, he pondered: "As for the battle for the crown prince, you are not suitable to participate at the moment, I will help you control the direction in the overall situation. Those princes should not ignore it. With your existence, no matter who wants to make friends with you, you can rest assured to contact them, you only need to remember eight words."

He looked at Pei Yue's calm face, and said word by word: "Fantasy, don't talk about state affairs."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Liang said again: "Of course, you can't just indulge in debauchery. Apart from the way of being a merchant, the most important thing for you now is to firmly hold the Northern Camp of the Beijing Army in the palm of your hand after Zang Fengwei returns."

This was originally the intended meaning of the question, but with Pei Yue's astuteness, he obviously heard some hidden meanings.

Seeing the change in his expression, Gu Liang became more appreciative in his heart, and said earnestly, "Except for the Tibetan front guards, there are three infantry troops in the Northern Camp, totaling 5 people. Wei Rui is a handsome man, and he can help you lead the Tibetan front guards well. Your focus should not be limited to one guard. Tang Linfen, Fu Hongzhi, Meng Longfu, Luo Kedi, and your sworn brother Qin Xian are all generals, and you can let them help you control the other three guards. That guy Chen Xianda is only suitable for charging forward, and he still has some flaws in his character, so he can just stay in Zangfengwei."

Pei Yue pondered for a moment, and instead of questioning Gu Liang's suggestion, he asked solemnly, "Uncle, is there any problem in the army?"

Gu Liang sighed in his heart, and said calmly: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry. Marquis Xiu Tan Fu has no ability to be your stumbling block, but don't trust his words, this kind of person is more than successful, be careful. That's fine. Remember, if you want to rise to the top, you must have a solid foundation, and the North Camp is your foundation. Your Majesty won't wait too long. I can only stay in the capital for a year or a half at most, and limit the authority in the hands of the old king. After staying here, I will definitely have to go south to attack Zhou."

He stood up, walked over and patted Pei Yue on the shoulder and said, "I will help you block the wind and rain outside during this time, you just need to do one thing well, and completely control the Peking University Camp, understand? ?”

Pei Yue stood up and replied, "Understood."

Gu Liang smiled casually: "Sure enough, you have benefited. In the past, you would definitely think that I let you hold the Beidaying because I wanted to find an opportunity to raise the flag to rebel."

Pei Yue also smiled, and said with emotion: "Even Mr. Pei can only stay on that island in the middle of the lake, I don't think I can stand side by side with him, when he had Mr. and Mr. Shen by his side, he could only feign death , Why should I ask for trouble. Today's Daliang is enough to be called a prosperous age, Western Wu's national strength has been greatly damaged, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty is in a corner, and the emperor controls the government and the public to deploy the world. Looking through the history books, there is no example of a successful rebellion at this time. "

Gu Liang sighed, "It's just a moment and a moment."

Pei Yue looked at his slightly lonely expression, knowing that he remembered the story of the late Emperor and those years, so he changed the subject and asked, "Uncle, have you met Princess Qi Yang?"

Gu Liang responded casually: "I met several times before the accident happened in my family, and it dates back to the reign of Taizong. After Zhongzong succeeded to the throne, he used the name of guarding the mausoleum of Taizong to seize Qi Yang's power. The case broke out, and within two years Qi Yang..."

He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Pei Yue with a strange expression.

Pei Yue met his gaze innocently.

Gu Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he put on a straight face and said, "You kid actually tried every means to trick me."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Uncle, you have wronged me, but I just thought that you were born in the 16th year of Taizong Taihe, and Princess Qi Yang was born in the [-]th year of Taihe, although there is a difference of ten years, you can barely be regarded as people of the same era. At that time, Princess Qi Yang was unknown to everyone in the government and the public, and uncle should know her story."

Gu Liang suppressed the thoughts in his heart and asked curiously: "Why are you suddenly interested in Qi Yang's story?"

Pei Yue boldly asked: "I heard that she is not only talented, but also a peerless beauty. I wonder if Uncle has ever liked Princess Qi Yang?"

Gu Liang couldn't bear it any longer, slapped Pei Yue on the back of his head with a palm fan, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? It will be troublesome for your aunt to hear."

Pei Yue's question was somewhat disrespectful, even if Princess Qi Yang hadn't passed away, she would still be 64 years old, which was enough to be his grandmother.Fortunately, Gu Liang wasn't really angry, that slap was not strong, it was more like an elder's gesture of closeness to a younger generation.

He asked unintentionally: "Uncle, have all the descendants of Princess Qi Yang passed away?"

Without any hesitation, Gu Liang calmly replied: "Yes."

Pei Yue didn't ask any more questions. He glanced at the dusk sky, saluted and said, "Today, I have benefited a lot from my uncle's teachings. It's just that it's late, so I'll go back home first, and I'll come to accompany my uncle some other day." drink."

Gu Liang has already drank three pots of fishing poetry hook, but there is no drunk in his eyes, obviously there is no moisture in the reputation of "thousand cups of never drunk".He turned back and sat on his chair, said with a smile: "Go and tell your aunt, Zhen'er won't see you again, at least not before getting engaged, lest your aunt will talk in my ear again."

Pei Yue complied, turned around and left calmly.

Gu Liang sat alone in the pavilion.

He looked up at the sunset in the sky, and picked up a jug of wine, but he didn't bring it to his lips.

"Princess Qi Yang..."

He sighed softly, raised the pot to his mouth, and the amber liquid flowed down.

The setting sun is reflected like blood, and the past is like the wind.
