The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Pei Dingyuan had never heard of the Southern Wei Dynasty before. If people from the Southern Wei Dynasty hadn't suddenly come to him and told him about the relationship between the Pei family and the Southern Wei Dynasty, he would not have known about the existence of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Before coming to Zhao Yao, he secretly investigated Southern Wei, but found nothing, which made him feel that Southern Wei was very mysterious.

"Your Highness, I have been browsing history books in the library of Taixue, and I have not seen anything about the Southern Wei Dynasty. Is the Southern Wei Dynasty from the previous dynasty, or did it exist a long time ago?" He didn't hear anything about it from his husband or classmates. I talked about the Southern Wei Dynasty.

"The Southern Wei Dynasty emerged from the previous dynasty, but it was a small country at the time." Seeing that Pei Dingyuan wanted to know about the Southern Wei Dynasty, Zhao Yao planned to tell him something, "The whole country of the Southern Wei Dynasty surrendered to the former dynasty and became a vassal state of the former dynasty. The emperor of the dynasty gave the Southern Wei a fiefdom and named the Southern Wei king a king with a different surname. Later, for unknown reasons, the Southern Wei was destroyed by the previous dynasty. Many Southern Wei people were killed, but some Southern Wei people escaped. Then they hid everywhere. As far as I know, there are Southern Wei people in many places in the Zhou Dynasty."

"The Southern Wei Dynasty surrendered to the former dynasty. Why did the emperor of the previous dynasty go back on his promise and destroy the Southern Wei Dynasty?" Because the Pei family was wrongfully exterminated, Pei Dingyuan did not like the previous dynasty. Now I heard that the previous dynasty destroyed the Southern Wei Dynasty, and I became even more disgusted with the previous dynasty.

Zhao Yao corrected: "It was not the previous dynasty that went back on its word, but the Southern Wei Dynasty."

Pei Dingyuan was surprised when he heard this: "What, the Southern Wei people reneged on their promise? Did the Southern Wei people later regret it, did not want to surrender to the previous dynasty, and raised troops to rebel?"

"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty did not rebel. It was just that when they surrendered to the former dynasty, they promised to give the former dynasty something. However, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty later reneged on their promise and did not hand over that thing to the former dynasty. The emperor of the former dynasty felt that he had been betrayed by the king of Southern Wei. He was very angry, and then ordered the destruction of the Southern Wei Dynasty." Zhao Yao glanced at Pei Dingyuan and said meaningfully, "The things handed over to the previous dynasty should be the things that the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty want to find now."

"It turns out that the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty were treacherous." The anger in Pei Dingyuan's heart had subsided a lot, but now he was more and more interested in that thing, "Your Highness, what is it that makes both the Southern Wei Dynasty and the previous dynasty value it so much, is it a treasure? "

Zhao Yao: "When the Southern Wei people surrendered, they donated a large sum of money to the former dynasty. If it was a treasure, the former emperor would not be so angry, nor would he easily agree to the surrender of the Southern Wei people."

"What is that?" Pei Dingyuan couldn't imagine what kind of thing the people of Southern Wei were so persistent in trying to find. "Isn't it a token of the Southern Wei people?"

"If it was a token of the Southern Wei people, why would the previous emperor want it?" Zhao Yao couldn't tell Pei Dingyuan that the thing might be a jade seal passed down from the country. It wasn't that he didn't believe Pei Dingyuan, but he felt that it would be of no benefit to him if Pei Dingyuan knew about the existence of the Imperial Seal. "Perhaps it is some kind of magical object that has the effect of prolonging life or becoming immortal."

"Immortality?" Pei Dingyuan was shocked at first, then shook his head and said, "How can there be an elixir of immortality in this world? It should be a very special thing."

"No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with us, so you don't need to care." Zhao Yao is not interested in the imperial seal. "You don't want to check it. Since this thing is so important to the Southern Wei Dynasty, it shouldn't be a good thing. You still know The less you know, the better; knowing too much can be dangerous.”

"Your Highness, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty care so much about that thing, maybe that thing is dangerous to the Great Zhou Dynasty." Pei Dingyuan did not have a good impression of the previous dynasty, nor did he have a good impression of the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty. He was worried that if the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty found that thing, they would Not good for Dazhou. "Your Highness, you also said that the Southern Wei people are in danger, and we cannot ignore them."

"Dingyuan, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty are more dangerous and cunning than you think. This is why I haven't told you about the existence of the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty all these years. I'm afraid that you will get involved with them and they will put you in trouble. Danger." If Pei Dingyuan didn't come to Zhao Yao tonight to tell him about the Southern Wei people, Zhao Yao would never be able to tell him about the existence of the Southern Wei people. "The Southern Wei people come to you directly, which means they don't think you will find out anything about them. Regarding the matter of Southern Wei, once they realize that you are investigating Southern Wei, you will be in danger."

Zhao Yao warned again: "You'd better stay away from the Southern Wei people, the further away the better. Don't find out about their affairs."

Pei Dingyuan and Zhao Yao reminded him with a solemn expression, and his heart trembled. He secretly thought: Your Highness is so afraid of the Southern Wei people, it seems that the Southern Wei people are really dangerous.

He heard Zhao Yao say again: "Don't be curious about the affairs of the Southern Wei people, let alone show interest. Just pretend that nothing happened. When the Southern Wei people come to see you next time, you Show a cold look, warn him not to come to you again, and say you don't trust any Southern Wei people at all."

"The more you show that you don't believe in the existence of the Southern Wei people, the safer you will be. As for them wanting to help you recover your memory, just let them find it. There is no way that there is any medicine that can help you recover your memory."

Pei Dingyuan always listened to Zhao Yao's words and nodded obediently: "I will remember your Highness's words and I will stay away from the people of Southern Wei."

"Sigh... I don't know how the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty knew about you?" Zhao Yao now regretted, "I knew I would not let you restore the surname Pei." Zhao Yao guessed that the reason why the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty were able to find Pei Dingyuan was because of Ding Yuan. My surname is Pei. Although there are many people with the surname Pei in Dazhou, there are not many people with the surname Pei in the capital. Given the temperament of the Southern Wei people, they might have searched everyone with the surname Pei. After all, they wanted to find the imperial seal.

"Your Highness asked me to restore the surname Pei for my own good, so that I can recognize my ancestors and return to my clan." Pei Dingyuan thought to himself, but in fact he didn't care whether his surname was Pei or not. Rather than giving him the surname Pei, he wanted His Highness to give him a surname.

"The Pei family's reputation has been wiped away because of what happened to the Yuan family. Finally, the Pei family is no longer a rebel, and the Pei family who were killed back then can rest in peace." After the Yuan family was revealed to have colluded with the Huns, the Yuan family framed the Pei family. After being exposed, the emperor easily cleared away the Pei family's grievances. However, the ministers in the DPRK did not have a good impression of the Pei family. Although the Pei family did not collude with foreigners to rebel, the Pei family was very prosperous and very arrogant and domineering. It had a very bad reputation both in history books and among the people. This was also the time when the late emperor ascended the throne. At that time, why did he rehabilitate so many people but not the Pei family alone?

"However, there have been rumors that the Pei family has treasures, so I didn't let you worship them openly. Besides, if people know that you are a descendant of the Pei family, you will be in constant trouble and danger." Zhao Yao is now The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is really too dangerous to give Dingyuan the surname Pei. "Fortunately, you are in Lingnan now, and no one will associate you with the Pei family." He was now worried that the Southern Wei people would not let Dingyuan go easily. After all, Dingyuan was their only hope of finding the imperial seal. Alas, the fact that Dingyuan is a descendant of the Pei family probably won't be kept secret for long.

What Zhao Yao thought of, Pei Dingyuan also thought of

"Your Highness, why don't you give me your surname now, so that no one will think that I might be a descendant of the Pei family."

Zhao Yao was very surprised when he heard Pei Dingyuan's request. "You want to change your last name?"

"Your Highness, to tell you the truth, I don't care whether my surname is Pei or not, and I don't care whether I am a descendant of the Pei family." Pei Dingyuan said sincerely, "Your Highness, you saved me back then, and you gave me a new life." life.”

"If you don't care, I'll give you a last name."

"I don't care. It's an honor for me to be given a surname by His Highness."

Seeing Pei Dingyuan's radiant eyes, Zhao Yao couldn't help but laugh: "In that case, I'll give you a surname." He thought for a moment and said, "Let's give it Liang." It's not appropriate to give him the surname Zhao, after all. National surname.

Pei Dingyuan did not expect that Zhao Yao would give him the surname Liang, which was an extremely honor for him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, my name will be Liang Dingyuan from now on."

Zhao Yao didn't expect that giving Dingyuan the surname Liang would make him so happy.

"I hope your ancestors won't blame me."

"Your Highness is doing this for my own good. It's too late for them to be grateful to you." After becoming Liang Dingyuan, he suddenly felt very relaxed. The previous fear and uneasiness about the Southern Wei people also disappeared.

"Dingyuan, your surname is not Pei, are you really okay?"

"It's okay." Liang Dingyuan remembered that the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty seemed to be very persistent about that thing, so he hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, if the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty want to restore the country, will it be detrimental to the Zhou Dynasty?"

"It's naturally unfavorable." The ambition of the Southern Wei people was not to restore the country, but to control the Great Zhou Dynasty and make the Great Zhou Dynasty theirs.

Liang Dingyuan's face immediately became nervous, "Your Highness, since the Southern Wei people will be detrimental to the Zhou Dynasty, we can't sit idly by and do nothing."

"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty are not something you and I can solve, so you better not worry about it." Zhao Yao said again, "The people in the capital know about the existence of the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty. The reason why they did not take action against the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty is because they don't want to alert the enemy."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Dingyuan felt relieved.

Zhao Yao gave Liang Dingyuan a few more words before asking Tongxi to send him back.

After Liang Dingyuan left, Zhao Yao let out a long sigh: "Alas... the people of Southern Wei are still haunted."

Zhao Yao tapped the table lightly with a thoughtful expression: He had to find a way to make the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion disappear. However, this is not a complete solution.

Are there many people in the Southern Wei Dynasty who know Dingyuan's life experience, or are only the people in the Southern Wei Dynasty in Marsh Mansion who have found out about Dingyuan's life experience. If that's all, just get rid of the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion. However, if people from the Southern Wei Dynasty outside the Marsh Mansion knew Dingyuan's life experience, there would be nothing they could do.

Zhao Yao called out the secret guards and ordered them to investigate the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion to see if they had spread Dingyuan's life experience to other places.

Alas, I hope the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion did not spread the news about Dingyuan's life experience.

Since the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty found out about Dingyuan's life experience, they should also find out that he was the one who saved Dingyuan back then. The people of Southern Wei should now know that he knows about their existence, which is not a good thing. I hope that the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion will not spread this matter.

Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said with a headache: "The situation is difficult to handle." Forget it, no matter what, first eradicate the Southern Wei people hiding in Marsh Mansion. (End of chapter)
