Invincible son

Chapter 1119 1120 [those who abandon me]

The imperial palace, the side hall of the Liangyi Hall.

Luo Ting walked in quickly under the guidance of the eunuch, and he was relieved to see the back of the burly Gu Liang at first sight.

In addition to Gu Liang, there are also important ministers in the hall, such as Li Zi, Marquis of Hejian, Marquis Li Zi of the Imperial Army, Marquis of Xiangcheng Xiaojin, Marquis of Xiangcheng, Huang Rentai and Liubu Shangshu.

In front of the imperial court, two people knelt on their knees, lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, enduring the anger from the young emperor on the dragon chair.

Liu Xian glanced at Luo Ting with a calm expression, and then turned to the right commander of Taishitai Pavilion, Dou Jingchu, and Commander of Luan Yiwei, Chen An, and suddenly slapped the armrest and said angrily: "It's ridiculous! At the foot of the emperor in Daliang , Such a thing actually happened by my side, what on earth are Taishi Taige and Luan Yiwei doing?"

In just one hour, those speech papers sprinkled like snowflakes to the west city and south city of Kyoto, especially those lively places where the crowds gathered, it can be said that there were so many people in the sky, and even caused a lot of panic.Although it is not difficult to prepare these speech papers, you only need to confirm the content first and then transcribe, but they can make such a big movement in such a short period of time, it will inevitably require quite a lot of manpower.

Daliang has never stopped infiltrating other countries since the founding of the country. At the beginning, Pei Yue was able to obtain detailed information on the monarchs and ministers of the Western Wu and the military ratio from Shen Danmo. Later, when he was sent to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he received the full support of Duibu's spies. It is enough to show that Taishi Taige's efforts have been fruitful.However, including Liu Xian, who was furious at the moment, he also understood that Xiwu and Nanzhou were not idiots, and they must have similar arrangements and plans.

It's just that the disturbance this time is really serious, and Taishitai Pavilion and Luanyiwei cannot absolve themselves of the blame.

Jing Chu was full of bitterness, he had just taken over the Tai Pavilion for less than two months, and the internal tidying up had not yet been completed.Especially Mo Moyun was poisoned to death in the palace. Although people outside thought he died of a sudden illness, many people inside the Tai Pavilion knew the details, and it was not easy for him to appease him.

Under such circumstances, the Taige's control over Kyoto has naturally declined.

Chen An also had troubles that he couldn't tell. Before the change of imperial power, Luan Yiwei's duty was mainly to monitor the palace and the court officials.Although Emperor Kaiping had begun to hand over some of the power belonging to Taishitai Pavilion to Luan Yiwei before his death, this kind of thing obviously cannot be done overnight, and the training of manpower alone will take a certain amount of time.

It's just...the content recorded in those words is too sensational, His Majesty's anger is understandable, and the two dare not argue for themselves.

Jing Chu took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, I am guilty, and I am willing to be punished. When those speeches appeared in Xicheng and Nancheng, Taige and Kun Department immediately responded. Before the minister entered the palace, Taige had arrested 76 people who scattered speech papers." At the same time, with the cooperation of the Kyoto government, more than [-] pieces of papers were recovered. However, now that the news has spread, I am afraid that it cannot be completely covered up."

Liu Xianhan said: "I will give you five days to dig out all the people involved in this matter!"

Jing Chu bowed and saluted, "I obey the order!"

Liu Xian looked at Chen An again and said, "Luan Yiwei is responsible for assisting from the side, let me find out how many people with evil intentions are in this city!"

Chen An's heart trembled, and he sensed the strong murderous aura on Xinjun's body from this sentence.

He could understand why His Majesty the Emperor was so angry. Pei Yue's status in the army was different now, and the monarch and his ministers got along very harmoniously.Now that such a shocking secret suddenly broke out, Pei Yue was not a child of the Pei family, but the blood of the eldest princess Qi Yang back then. How would the court respond to this?

Chen An responded with a salute, and he couldn't help feeling a lot of worry in his heart.

This incident has just erupted, and no one can tell what kind of turmoil it will cause in the future.

After Jing Chu and Chen An retreated to the side, the atmosphere in the hall fell into a cold and dull silence, and almost everyone was silently chanting a sentence.

"It turns out that Pei Yue is not a descendant of Dingguo, it turns out that he is a descendant of Princess Qi Yang..."

The silence continued to spread, as if it completely froze the air in the hall.

When Luo Ting was in the mansion, he resolutely criticized the contents of the statement as rumors, but at this moment he could only secretly smile a few times.

All along, he felt that Pei Yue was shrouded in a faint mist, making it difficult for people to see his real face clearly.

But after this rumor appeared, the anomalies in the past became extremely reasonable again.

Going back to the third year of Kaiping, when Pei Yue first appeared in the court, he fell into the crisis of Pei Rong's "father suing his son". If he hadn't produced Pei Taijun's personal letter at a critical moment, he might have been awarded the title of Viscount Zhongshan by Emperor Kaiping himself. will become a flash in the pan.

At that time, many people couldn't figure out that even if Pei Rongzhi was talented, he wouldn't be so jealous of his son.

From Luo Ting's point of view, there is another thing that is puzzling, that is why Gu Liang values ​​Pei Yue so much.

He has been acquainted with Gu Liang for decades, and he knows his character and temperament well. He is by no means the kind of person who likes to give favors and cultivate cronies.Also when Pei Yue first entered the court, Gu Liang secretly told him to take care of that concubine Dingguo as much as possible in the future.

Until today when those words appeared, the doubts in Luo Ting's heart were suddenly solved.

Princess Qi Yang has kindness to the Gu family. Back then, she regarded Gu Liang as a younger brother and often taught him something, so Gu Liang would do everything possible to help Pei Yue. This was his original idea, just to repay his kindness.

As for Pei Yue's performance getting better and better later, that has nothing to do with the cause and effect of this matter.

It must be because of Princess Qi Yang that Ding Guogong Pei Zhen preserved the only remaining blood of the little princess who had a rough fate and raised it under Pei Rong's name.

There are still some details that are unclear, and Luo Ting can't figure it out for the time being, but this is not important. Now that the authenticity of the content on the statement has been roughly confirmed, and judging from the expressions of the surrounding officials, it is obvious that they Also vaguely hold a similar idea.

The key is how to deal with the impact of this secret being made public.

Whether Pei Yue is the grandson of Pei Zhen or the descendant of Qi Yang, these are two completely different concepts.

It is true that Pei Zhen has made outstanding achievements, but he is only a courtier after all, and the difference between a monarch and his ministers is like a natural moat.However, because of Emperor Taizong's trust and preference, as well as her extraordinary ability, Princess Qiyang held the real power in the court in the late Taizong Dynasty, and even overwhelmed Emperor Zhongzong, who was made the prince only two years before Taizong's death.

In other words, Qi Yang is a heavenly girl who is very likely to become an empress. Taking a step back, if she really wants to seize power, it is not impossible for her to listen to politics behind the curtain after getting rid of her own brother, Emperor Zhongzong.

If Pei Yue is really her descendant, the deep meaning worth pondering is very intriguing.

The more Luo Ting thought about it, the more troublesome she felt, and her expression was extremely solemn.

At this moment, Liu Xian turned his head to look at the eunuch Hou Yu, and broke the breathless silence in the hall with a deep voice: "Send it."

Under the watchful eyes of the ministers, Hou Yu took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, then walked down the imperial steps and distributed one to each minister.

This is the paper that is making a fuss in Kyoto today.

Luo Ting frowned, not knowing what the new king meant by this move.

After taking a piece of paper from Hou Yu's hand, he lowered his head and glanced at it hastily, his complexion changed slightly.

The words and sentences on the paper are plain and easy to understand, without any deceptive embellishments, and only tell the past in detail.

After the eldest princess Qi Yang passed away, she still had a young daughter who survived, but perhaps because the days before ascending the throne were too depressing, Emperor Zhongzong only wanted to erase all the traces left by the elder sister who had brought him endless humiliation.In order to save the life of the little princess, Pei Yuan, the first generation Dingguo Duke who was still alive at that time, was persuaded by Huang Rentai, who was a scholar of the Imperial Academy at the time, and with the cooperation of several ministers, the little princess finally escaped the butcher knife of Emperor Zhongzong.

In the 20th year of Jianping, that is, two years before Zhongzong's death, the princess married a scholar named Ling Ping.

At the end of the 21st year, the princess was pregnant.

In the late summer and early autumn of the first year of Yongning, the little princess gave birth to a son, but it was a pity that he was hit by the fire and died.

The infant baby was rescued by Pei Zhen and brought back to the mansion to be raised under the name of Pei Rong, who is now the Duke of Wei of Daliang, Pei Yue.

Luo Ting sighed, the above records are very detailed, and can be compared with those things that happened later, as long as anyone who has a little knowledge of the old news of the imperial court, I am afraid that they will believe the content on the paper.

however--

Luo Ting took two steps forward and looked up at Liu Xian, with exhortation and pleading in his eyes, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the content on this paper seems to be traceable, but in fact it cannot withstand scrutiny at all. I think , This is a rumor fabricated by the spies of the enemy country, just to disturb the hearts of the subjects of Daliang, therefore, the court should rectify the source, and cannot tolerate such rumors continuing to spread."

Liu Xian remained silent.

Then another minister stood up and walked slowly to Luo Ting's side.

He is tall and tall and has a refined temperament. He is Xiaojin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng.
