Invincible son

Chapter 927 926 [All paying jokes]

Emperor Kaiping looked at the tall and straight figure of this young courtier, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

Pei Yue sat down as he said, with an involuntary look of intimacy in his eyes.

Emperor Kaiping liked his expression very much, and seemed to have returned to the state of trust between the monarch and his subjects, and then said gently: "From the beginning to the end, I never thought of driving you to a desperate situation. After the battle in the southern border, Many people have suggested to me that you should be deprived of your military position to avoid unbearable things from happening in the future. I didn’t do this because I wanted to see your thoughts.”

Pei Yue smiled bitterly, shook his head to express his puzzlement, and asked: "Your Majesty, who is it that insists on putting the subject to death?"

The corner of Emperor Kaiping's mouth curled up, and he asked meaningfully: "Could it be that you can't guess it?"

Pei Yue thought for a while and said: "I feel that there must be Duke Wei's military aircraft among these people, and the others don't know."

Emperor Kaiping was noncommittal, and said softly: "Among those who are targeting you, some are out of loyalty and some out of personal grievances. The specific reasons are actually not important. You just need to understand one truth. If I really want to knock you down, There will be many people in the court who will support me. This wave cannot be stopped by Sheng Duanming and Jian Rong alone, nor can Gu Liang, even Jun Xinggong will not forcibly oppose me for you."

Pei Yue could not deny this assertion.

He raised his eyes to meet the emperor's deep gaze, and said honestly: "Actually, I have considered this possibility before returning to Beijing."

Emperor Kaiping asked with great interest: "In this case, why do you dare to come back?"

Pei Yue asked in a daze, "Your Majesty, where can I go if I don't come back?"

Emperor Kaiping smiled without saying a word, took a sip from the teacup, Pei Yue was also alert, and quickly got up to fill the emperor's cup.

"The Southern Dynasty can accommodate Xian Chunqiu, so it can naturally accept you, a close minister of the Emperor of Daliang. Besides, you sent back the daughter of the Qinghe Xu family, because you want to leave a way out for yourself?"

Like a thunderbolt on the ground.

Although the conversation between the monarch and his ministers today was frank enough, and it can even be said that it is rare to see them in the history books, but Emperor Kaiping is a powerful emperor after all, and beating and testing his courtiers has long been instinctive.

Fortunately, Pei Yue was used to this kind of sudden thunder a long time ago. He replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I will definitely not become the second Xian Chunqiu. As for sending the daughter of the Xu family back, it is because I don't want to bully you." She is a weak woman, and if she can be used to contact the Nandu family, it may be helpful for the future great cause of cutting Zhou."

Emperor Kaiping stared fixedly at Pei Yue, nodded slightly and said, "I believe in you."

Pei Yue said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Emperor Kaiping pondered for a moment, and said leisurely: "I don't deny that after the end of the battle in the southern border, my indifference to you has nothing to do with other people's advice, but because I want to know how you will respond. At the same time, I also want to use this An opportunity to see clearly the hearts of others.”

After a short pause, he stared into Pei Yue's eyes and asked, "Do you know who I'm referring to?"

Pei Yue's thoughts turned, a name suddenly popped up in his mind, and he tentatively replied: "Wei Guogong?"

Emperor Kaiping smiled, nodded and said, "That's right."

At this moment, Pei Yue felt suddenly enlightened, and many questions that he couldn't figure out finally had answers.

If the power struggle of the Kaiping Dynasty is regarded as a line, the name Wang Pingzhang undoubtedly occupies several extremely important nodes.From the tacit cooperation between him and the emperor to suppress the founding prince back then, to the continuous weakening of the powerful prince after the emperor changed Yuan Kaiping, to the outbreak of war in the southern border this year, the emperor suddenly relied on Wang Pingzhang's strength again.

On the surface, the emperor wanted to use Wang Pingzhang to suppress the sudden emergence of Pei Yue, but judging from the simple conversation tonight, the emperor was obviously even more worried about the military No. 1 whose city was as deep as the sea.

Emperor Kaiping sighed quietly: "I have given him many opportunities. His situation is different from yours. As long as he is willing to hand over his power honestly, I will naturally protect him to enjoy his old age. And with his decades of military service The future successor king will not embarrass his descendants."

Pei Yue said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty's posture of suppressing ministers is actually testing Wei Guogong. If he has the intention of decentralizing power unintentionally, he will definitely not stand up and fight against ministers."

Emperor Kaiping said: "It's very simple to say, but in a situation, some people may not be able to see the road behind them clearly."

Pei Yue slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do next?"

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "In addition to helping Liu Xian secure the crown prince, I hope you will not startle the snake for the time being."

Pei Yue looked puzzled.

Now that he has been honest and honest tonight, and the emperor is talking about this, whether Pei Yue is willing or not, he can only continue to be the sword in the emperor's hand and solve the biggest hidden danger in the army for him.

Emperor Kaiping stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the Rongrong night and the quiet palace people and court guards in the distance, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly and firmly: "I have experienced countless things in my life. Tribulations, but I have never been defeated by those twists and turns. It has been the same in the past, and it will be the same in the future. Liu Xian can keep my country, and you will be his best help, so I want to leave a Haiyan Heqing for you young people beam."

These words are unparalleled in domineering, and the meaning revealed is very clear.

No matter Wang Pingzhang or other people with bad intentions, Emperor Kaiping gave them opportunities again and again, not because there was no way to solve these problems, but to let them all jump out, and finally catch them all, and give the successor king an iron barrel.

Looking at the emperor's thin but tall back, Pei Yue was shocked, and then sincerely persuaded: "Your Majesty, why take such a risk? I still feel that it is more appropriate to take precautions before they happen, so it is better to act first——"

Emperor Kaiping shook his head, and interrupted him directly: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be punished without teaching? Besides, if I don't give those bugs in the dark a chance, how dare they be exposed to the bright world? Killing is not enough. Difficult, the key is that the reason for the action can convince the world, and can make the government and the opposition stable as before."

Pei Yue replied calmly: "I understand."

Emperor Kaiping turned to look at Pei Yue, and said warmly: "After I solve the internal problems of Daliang, I will start to recover the southern border, and then you will naturally have a place to use. However, I will not let you preside over the overall battle, so as not to cause you to lose power again." Create a meritorious deed to destroy the country, if that is the case, I will not kill you."

Pei Yue smiled awkwardly.

Emperor Kaiping came to him, looked at this young and handsome face, and asked solemnly: "Pei Yue, are you willing to guard the territory of Daliang for my generation?"

With a twitch in Pei Yue's heart, he instantly understood that this conversation had reached a critical juncture.

He didn't express his loyalty in a hurry, but asked calmly: "Your Majesty is going to let the minister go to the far south?"

Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "It's not now, but in the future. After the southern border is pacified, and when the situation stabilizes, you can take your relatives and subordinates to the southern border of the sky, and open a government office as a duke. From generation to generation, it will always be the barrier of the border of Daliang."

Stay away from the center and guard the frontier. As time goes by, Pei Yue's influence in the court will gradually weaken until it is better than nothing.

After repeated attempts of suppressing and offering marriage, Pei Yue finally won Kaiping Emperor's trust again and a relatively safer and safer promise by virtue of his patience and spare no effort to help the eldest prince.

Thinking of today's act of the emperor and empress acting as Gaotang's relatives, Pei Yue couldn't help feeling a little dazed. He naturally thought of the old story of Zhu Yuanzhang sending his adoptive son Muying to Yunnan after the founding of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life.

How similar are these situations?
But he has to admit that Emperor Kaiping's arrangement has obviously made great progress compared to the previous arrangement of killing donkeys.

As for the future...he can play by ear, but it is impossible for him to let others hold his throat foolishly.

Pei Yue restrained his mind, saluted and said: "I accept the decree, thank you!"

Emperor Kaiping smiled heartily, raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "You have to keep this matter in your heart, and you can't tell anyone, including Gu Liang and your wives."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "I understand."

"Okay, it's getting late, and it's time for me to go back to the palace."

"I send His Majesty back to the palace."

"Forget it, a spring night is worth a thousand gold, you just enjoy it."

Emperor Kaiping laughed, turned around and walked out of the flower hall, surrounded by a crowd of palace people and court guards, towards the layman.

Pei Yue stubbornly sent him out of the mansion, and watched Sheng Jia leave leisurely under the protection of the mighty imperial guards, he couldn't help showing a comfortable smile.

He understands that the emperor's promise is difficult to guarantee to be effective, but at least for the next period of time, he doesn't need to have a headache to deal with the pressure from the palace, and finally he can carry out his plan calmly step by step, and take care of those jumping enemies by the way.
