Invincible son

Chapter 623 Chapter 622

Liu Xian never expected to hear the name Princess Pingyang from Ning Fengzhi.

He has a very good relationship with Pingyang's compatriots. Although he lives in Lu Wangfu now and Pingyang is in the palace, they still see each other often.For Pingyang, there is no difference between Prince Lu's mansion and his own bedroom. Liu Xian's side concubines are quite respectful to her, and people like Ning Fengzhi and Qu Zhen dare not say anything against her.

At this moment Liu Xian suddenly understood the meaning of Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

After the previous marriage was ruined by Pei Yue, Pingyang hated Pei Yue and Pei Ning, and there was a conflict in the fourth child's Xianyun Manor. Liu Xian knew about it but didn't think deeply about it. I didn't know it would cause such a big setback.

Liu Xian took a deep breath, pushed Ning Fengzhi away suddenly, and walked towards Pei Yue.

Pei Yue got off his horse and looked at the eldest prince calmly.

The night wind is rustling, and the feeling of coolness gradually rises.

Hou Chengyi Guo Kaishan subconsciously wanted to step forward. If the two clashed face to face, even if the First Prince lost a hair in front of his eyes, he would not be able to deal with His Majesty.However, a stern gaze shot from the opposite side, Guo Kaishan saw Gu Liang's serious face, he hesitated and finally took back his steps.

Liu Xian came to Pei Yue, staring at this handsome but indifferent face, he didn't know whether it was anger or sadness.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "What do you want?"

Pei Yue narrowed his eyes slightly.

The other party actually resisted this matter, even if he was Emperor Kaiping's favorite prince, he still couldn't escape from this matter safely.When the news spreads that the Kai Dynasty will start tomorrow, the courtiers will definitely swarm to impeach Liu Xian. Judging from Emperor Kaiping's attitude of wanting to be an emperor through the ages, he will never tolerate Liu Xian becoming a stain in his history.

Therefore, Pei Yue said indifferently: "My lord, the matter has come to this point, it is no longer up to you and me to decide."

Liu Xian looked at him with complicated eyes, and said surprisingly: "Actually, I really want someone to kill you."

Pei Yue didn't seem surprised at all, he nodded and said: "I cut off the prince's fortune."

For a prince, the salary and rewards in the palace can only basically maintain the dignity of the palace. After all, it is impossible for Kaiping Emperor to take out the money in the treasury for his sons to squander.If he wanted to support so many people in the palace, he also had to cultivate his confidantes to support his subordinates, and even closer to the courtiers, Liu Xian absolutely had to have money in his hands.

This was the reason why he took a fancy to the briquette business at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Pei Yue was not a soft persimmon, but broke out a few of his own teeth, and even the famous Qibao Pavilion collapsed.

He asked Nian Xu to lead people to assassinate Pei Yue, apparently to vent his anger, but the underlying reason was still to hold the Xiangyun in his hands after Pei Yue died.

It's just that Pei Yue is far stronger than he imagined.

Facing such a frank Pei Yue, Liu Xian sneered and said: "You cut off my money, forced my concubine to death, and forcibly intervened in the marriage arranged by my concubine for me. Killing intent, not to mention you have it all. Since Lu Jiang wants you to die, it is very reasonable for me to give him a helping hand, right?"

Pei Yue frowned slightly, hearing that this person was trying to convince himself, he sighed lightly and said: "It seems that the relationship between the prince and Princess Pingyang is indeed as deep as the rumors."

Liu Xian was not surprised that he would guess the truth of this matter. In fact, even Guo Kaishan and Wang Jiuxuan in the distance could see that Ning Fengzhi's frank confession must have something hidden. The relationship between this matter and Liu Xian should not be big.

There are only a handful of people who can make this eldest prince willing to take the blame.

Liu Xian did not deny it, and asked again: "What do you want?"

Pei Yue saw the look of fear in his eyes, obviously he also knew that if he could not persuade Pei Yue to let the suffering master intercede for him, he would definitely lose his title of prince after the court meeting started tomorrow.

Pei Yue said slowly: "My lord, in fact, you can tell the truth of the matter."

Liu Xian shook his head and said: "The aristocrats of the Tian family sent people to assassinate the leader of the country in the street. Needless to say, the seriousness of this kind of thing, Pingyang...she can't afford it."

Although the status of the princess is noble, Liu Xian knows in his heart that this is not a treasure for the emperor.Unlike Emperor Taizong's doting on the princesses under his knees, especially Qi Yang, Emperor Kaiping didn't particularly care about Pingyang and the young Changle.If it is necessary to appease the anger of the courtiers, I am afraid that the always strict father will send thunder and wrath, how can Pingyang stand it?

It's just that for Pei Yue, he didn't have the slightest good impression of that unruly princess.

It's all right to be domineering, but the other party actually wants to do something to Pei Ning. This is something that Pei Yue absolutely cannot tolerate, so he said to Liu Xian: "My lord, you have to pay the price for doing something wrong. Since the lord wants to carry this matter for Princess Pingyang What I can do is not to expose the prince in front of His Majesty, other than that, I can't make any concessions."

Liu Xian looked at him fixedly, and after a while he promised: "As long as you are willing to say a few words for me at the meeting, then from now on I will do my best to create convenience for you. I know you plan to open a manor in the capital, Whether you want to win connections or continue to make money, I can—”

Pei Yue suddenly interrupted him, and said seriously: "My lord, it's not wrong for you to cherish your sister, but please don't forget that Pei Ning is my most respected elder sister."

"If Princess Pingyang just pointed the finger at me, then I can take another step back, but my eldest sister has done nothing wrong. If you try to hurt her, you must bear the consequences."

"Of course, the prince can choose to tell His Majesty the truth, the decision is in your hands."

Looking at Pei Yue who turned around and walked towards Gu Liang and the Tibetan front guard cavalry, Liu Xian shouted, "Pei Yue!"

Pei Yue didn't turn around, and replied in a deep voice: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk more."

At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes from far to near, and an inner eunuch led the palace guards to the front, looked at Lu Wang Liu Xian who was standing alone in the middle of the long street, and saw that those terrible scenes did not happen , suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then quickly said: "Your Majesty's word of mouth!"

From Liu Xian down, everyone bowed and saluted at the same time.

All the internal eunuchs shouted loudly: "Xuanlu King Liu Xian, Guangping Hou Guliang, Zhongshan Hou Peiyue, and Chengyi Hou Guo Kaishan enter the palace immediately, and the rest of them disperse immediately and must not gather together!"

"The minister leads the order."

The crowd responded in unison.

Everyone smiled apologetically at Liu Xian, and then said cautiously: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting in the Hall of Liangyi."

Liu Xian nodded slightly, then pointed to Lu Jiang and Ning Fengzhi and said, "You take these two with you, they are the suspects in the assassination of Marquis Zhongshan."

Everyone was startled, nodded repeatedly, and then ordered the guards to go forward and arrest the two of them.

Ning Fengzhi had a look of despair, but Lu Jiang was calm, especially when he saw Pei Yue talking with King Lu just now, he felt very happy in his heart.After the knot tonight, with His Majesty's favorite eldest prince on the one hand and the real powerful prince on the other, the two will fight to the death sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiang was full of satisfaction, and he didn't have much fear of the imminent death, but wanted to laugh a few times.

After the inner prison led a group of people to the palace, Wang Jiuxuan led the imperial army back to the station.

He didn't hear the conversation between Pei Yue and Liu Xian, but he could feel some deep meaning from the change of Liu Xian's attitude.

"After the eldest prince falls, who will be next?"

Wang Jiuxuan sighed inwardly, but his expression was not relaxed.

……

Liangyi Hall, side hall.

Emperor Kaiping watched Pei Yue and Liu Xian standing side by side with his slender eyes.

Left ruler Mo Haoli and Wei Guogong Wang Pingzhang each sat on a round stool, while Gu Liang, Guo Kaishan and Shen Moyun could only stand on this occasion.Although there are not many people in the hall, it almost gathers the core power level of Daliang, and only one right ruling Luo Ting is missing.

Unexpectedly, regarding the two assassination cases that have already caused waves in the capital, Emperor Kaiping opened fire on Pei Yue first, only to hear the emperor who had been in power for sixteen years say coldly: "The Marquis of Zhongshan is really good at training troops. The soldiers under your command are not afraid of life and death, and they don't even pay attention to the majesty of the Tian family. If they dare to follow you to rush into the prince's mansion tonight, it will be no problem to attack the palace tomorrow."

These heartbreaking remarks made the atmosphere in the hall drop to freezing point.

Gu Liang frowned slightly, but did not speak up to defend Pei Yue at this moment.

Emperor Kaiping's deep gaze swept across his face.

Pei Yue raised his head and looked at the emperor behind the case, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, that is my personal soldier."

Emperor Kaiping sneered, "Two hundred personal soldiers?"

Pei Yue nodded and replied meticulously: "Your Majesty, according to the military system of Daliang, the Marquis can recruit 400 soldiers."

Emperor Kaiping slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare you argue! I ask you, who allowed you to bring your own soldiers to enter the imperial street or even step into the palace after nightfall? Do you still have this emperor in your eyes! Is it because I have been so lenient to you that you have completely forgotten the way of a monarch and a minister?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "I never dare or forget."

Emperor Kaiping looked at him coldly, and said slowly: "Pei Yue, you let me down very much."

Pei Yue faced the emperor's scrutiny calmly, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.

Emperor Kaiping said indifferently: "I already know about the assassination of you and Pei's daughter. No matter how much grievance you feel in your heart, you can't use this method to deal with the problem. Pei Yue, I know that you are loyal and commendable, and I also recognize you." your ability and talent, that’s why you were allowed to lead the Beijing camp in the year of weak crown. But have you ever thought that tonight you openly led the army to persecute a prince in order to pour out the anger in your heart, where is the dignity of the heavenly family? Where is the king? If you don’t punish your behavior, everyone will follow suit in the future, and the world will be in chaos.”

Gu Liang's color changed slightly.

Guo Kaishan was extremely happy in his heart.

Wang Pingzhang and Shen Moyun stared at the ground under their feet, as if lost in thought.

Mo Haoli turned to look at Pei Yue, as if wanting to see how he would respond.

Pei Yue sighed softly, and suddenly paid homage.

Emperor Kaiping's eyes were fixed, and immediately he had a bad feeling in his heart.
