Invincible son

Chapter 1113 1114 [Pei Yue's Weakness]

The grief caused by Emperor Kaiping's death gradually faded, and the palace gradually returned to the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the past.

The maids and inner eunuchs finally don't have to keep their heads down all day long, especially inside and outside Jingren Palace, where crisp and gentle laughter can be heard occasionally.

The new monarch's pure filial piety is well known to the world, and now he will not disobey his mother. Empress Dowager Wu is undoubtedly the most honorable person in this palace.

If you look at the details, Empress Dowager Wu is not much different from before, she is still gentle and friendly, and treats the concubines as close as before, never deliberately putting on the empress dowager's pomp, naturally the more everyone in the palace people's respect.

But for Chen An, who has become the commander of Luan Yiwei, every time he comes to Jingren Palace to face the saint, he will bear great pressure.

What's more, His Majesty the Emperor is also present today, and he must deal with it with 12 points of energy.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Duke Wei went to Beiying to inspect the soldiers the day before yesterday, and called all the generals of the Beiying to hold a military meeting. To this day, he still stays in the Beiying. Because Luan Yiwei has not been able to get too close to Duke Wei. , so I can only find out some rough information. The minister is ineffective, please punish the empress dowager."

Chen An said cautiously, looking down at the golden brick ground in front of him.

Liu Xian frowned imperceptibly.

Empress Dowager Wu raised her hand to take the white porcelain teacup from the female officer, took a sip, and then said calmly: "Chen An, Ai's family asked you to keep an eye on Pei Yue, not for you to regard him as someone with evil intentions. .In the future, if it is not a military matter, where Duke Wei went and met whom, there is no need to report to Aijia."

Chen An bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Empress Dowager Wu said again: "From Aijia's point of view, your thinking was wrong from the very beginning. What kind of person is Wei Guogong? He is a famous commander in the army who has been tempered on the battlefield. , even if you send all Luan Yiwei to stare at him, it will be difficult to gain anything. Maybe, every move of your people is under his control."

A few drops of sweat broke out on Chen An's forehead, although he had roughly understood it in his heart, he still said respectfully: "I am so stupid, please give me some advice from the empress dowager."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled lightly and shook her head, then said lightly, "Don't just stare at Wei Guogong, pay more attention to the people around him."

Chen An suddenly realized, and said gratefully: "Thanks to the empress dowager for teaching, I know what to do."

He thought to himself that he had no ability to peek into Pei Yue's secrets, but the Duke of Wei's mansion today is not just a mansion, but the core of power that connects many forces, and Pei Yue always needs others to do things for him, and those people may not have him ability and skills.

In this way, she can be regarded as a very important person around Pei Yue. After all, Pei Yue dared to challenge the late emperor for her marriage.

According to the queen mother's intention... can I justifiably send someone to protect her?
Although he knew that the current occasion was extremely serious, Chen An still had that gentle and pleasant figure in his mind, because he was afraid of being seen by the queen mother and the emperor, he could only lower his head more and more in a respectful gesture.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Wu just stopped ordering, put down the teacup and said softly: "Go down."

Chen An saluted Empress Dowager Wu and Liu Xian, and then slowly left Jingren Palace.

He had just left when Liu Xian couldn't hold back and said: "Mother, this..."

During this period of time, with the cooperation of the important ministers of the two governments, the framework of the Imperial Medical Center and the Nongsang Prison has been completed, and it is being implemented in an orderly manner to the following state capitals.Although no results can be seen in a short period of time, everyone knows what role these two yamen can play in the future.In particular, the beneficial role of Nongsangjian in promoting the foundation of the country, even those rotten Confucians who bury their heads in the pile of old papers all day can speak clearly.

As for the initiator Pei Yue, the voices of the government and the public are full of praise recently.

After all, in the eyes of many people, it is rare and unusual for a young and distinguished martial artist like Pei Yue, who is also good at business and business, not to get into the eyes of money, but to consider for the common people wholeheartedly.

Liu Xian didn't expect that the first decree he passed with a nod would receive such a degree of welcome and support. Naturally, he felt a sense of accomplishment that was not humane, so he didn't want to make Pei Yue feel wary and suspicious because of a small loss. .

Looking at the emperor's hesitant expression, the Empress Dowager Wu said softly, "Does the emperor think that Aijia's actions are inappropriate?"

Liu Xian got up quickly and said, "I dare not."

Empress Dowager Wu raised her hand to signal him to sit down, and said slowly: "You are the emperor now, so you don't have to be so careless. The Ai family knows that you and Pei Yue are confidantes, and you regard him as the one who can help protect the country. Minister, he regards you as a promising ruler who can entrust his family and life. If you can achieve a good story of harmony between ruler and minister, it will be too late for the Ai family to be happy, so how can you obstruct it?"

Liu Xian nodded and said: "Mother, my son knows the danger of the word power minister, but Pei Yue has proved himself countless times over the years. My son feels that if he acts like... and keeps on guard against aggressiveness, it will not only make Pei Yue If you go astray, you will also chill the hearts of civil and military officials in the court."

Hearing the pause in his words, Empress Dowager Wu's eyes darkened slightly, and then she sighed softly: "Of course Aijia understands your thoughts. However, Tianjia has its own rules, and Taishitai Pavilion and Luanyiwei are supervised How can Pei Yue be an exception to the duties of a hundred officials? Besides, letting him know that you are paying attention to him is better than ignoring him and letting his ambition grow. Beware is not a bad thing, it can be a wake-up call for both you and him The role, after all, people's hearts are changeable."

Liu Xian couldn't help bowing his head and said: "Mother, my son understands."

Empress Dowager Wu continued to point out: "The Ai family believes in your vision, and also believes in Pei Yue's loyalty, but this is not inconsistent with the Ai family letting Chen An look at him. If not, why didn't the emperor abolish the Yushitai? Could it be that you can't trust the princes of the court?"

Liu Xian blushed and said, "What my mother taught me is that this is the way to prevent problems before they happen."

The Empress Dowager Wu did not continue to teach her a lesson, but said leisurely: "If the Ai family can't trust Pei Yue, why would they give him the third volume of the "On Books". In addition, the Ai family allows you to add the title of Duke to Pei Yue Zhijue, even let him enter the Xifu Counselor Military Plane, and never took back the military power in his hands. If he didn't trust you and him, the Ai family would definitely not nod."

Liu Xian was a little puzzled and said: "Mother, my son actually couldn't figure it out. I thought that the mother would not agree to these rewards for Pei Yue."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled slightly, and turned to look at the surrounding female officials.

Everyone held their breath, and walked out of the hall obediently and slowly.

Empress Dowager Wu then said softly: "Does the emperor know what is the biggest difference between Pei Yue and Wang Pingzhang? Or, what is his fatal flaw?"

Liu Xian couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

In his opinion, although Pei Yue is still very young, he can already be called a near-perfect courtier.

Capable of both literary and military skills, he is not afraid to use intrigues and tricks, and the key is to be loyal to himself and the court.

After thinking about it, he tentatively said: "Pei Yue attaches great importance to friendship, whether it is the relatives in his mansion or those who have followed him these years, he attaches great importance to it. Back then, the eldest daughter of the Dingguo mansion was only because she cared about him occasionally. , he regarded her as a benefactor, and even did not hesitate to offend the late emperor because of her marriage. If we talk about flaws, this should be regarded as a more important point."

Empress Dowager Wu shook her head and said: "You are wrong, Pei Yue is passionate and unfeeling, if you want to threaten those people's lives, he will definitely turn around and leave, and then try his best to avenge the dead. In the past few years Many examples have already proved that Pei Yue dares to take risks, but he will not be foolishly let others slaughter him. So, you still don't know your subjects well enough."

Liu Xian thought for a while, and finally agreed with this judgment, and then said respectfully: "Please show me, mother."

Empress Dowager Wu narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Pei Yue's greatest weakness is himself."

"he himself?"

Liu Xian frowned slightly, not quite understanding what kind of deep meaning was hidden in this sentence.

How could Pei Yue become a weakness?
