Invincible son

Chapter 1123 1124 [Crown covered with capital]

All the ministers in the palace today have long been used to the scene of Pei Yue making jokes in front of Emperor Kaiping.

The past is vivid.

Although Pei Yue occasionally shows a stubborn and stubborn attitude, most of the time he can clearly identify himself.Compared with those veteran officials who have worked in court for decades, he lacks both qualifications and contacts.If it weren't for Emperor Kaiping's extraordinary respect and trust, those dazzling achievements on him would not be a good thing.

Because of this, Xiao Jin, who is also a descendant of the Nine Dukes of the founding of the country, who is also the commander of the right army plane and the garrison division, subconsciously still regards Pei Yue as a junior.

He does not deny Pei Yue's credit and reputation, and he also knows that the other party's future status may be far higher than his own, but that requires years of precipitation and accumulation, and cannot be achieved overnight.

only--

Facing Pei Yue's stern gaze at the moment, Xiao Jin suddenly felt the majesty and dignity of the other party, showing signs of overpowering all the important officials in the palace.

This feeling made waves in his heart gradually, and his fear and guard became more and more obvious.

The two looked at each other, only half a zhang apart, but there seemed to be a chasm between them.

In fact, for Pei Yue, whether it is the Duke of the State or Beiying, these are just a part of his halo.Today he was able to reprimand Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin face to face. The confidence comes from the fact that he has never made a mistake in every major event in the past.

This is the momentum he has condensed in the five years of countless times of kissing Mao Shishi through life and death, utter loyalty and selflessness!

Surprisingly, Liu Xian didn't say anything to appease Pei Yue's anger immediately, and he didn't seem to want to stop the two military figures from fighting.He leaned his body back slightly on the back of the chair, his eyes moved between Pei Yue and Xiao Jin, as if he wanted to see the sincerity of these two people.

But in the eyes of other ministers, His Majesty the Emperor clearly wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, some of them couldn't help sighing secretly.

What the late emperor was best at in his life was the way of checks and balances. Although he is still a little immature today, it is his own blood after all.How to check and balance the courtiers below is an important part of the emperor's mind. If the first emperor saw this scene today, he might be a little relieved, but for the court, it is difficult to determine whether it is a blessing or a curse.

During the long silence, Xiao Jin said slowly: "Duke Wei is serious. I am just doing my duty as a minister. I didn't intend to target it, let alone frame it. However, what I don't understand is that the matter The time since the announcement was extremely short, Duke Wei thought he would not have time to find out what happened, but he acted so calmly. Doesn't it mean that in your heart, you have already reached a conclusion on whether the contents of the statement are true or not?"

He turned his head and glanced at the thoughtful Liu Xian, and said unhurriedly: "Just now Duke Wei mentioned that in the future, some people may follow this example and slander me as a child of the Western Wu royal family. If there is a day, this The first thing the official has to do is to prove his innocence to His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and blood is not a bad idea. Of course, this official knows that Wei Guogong has a free-spirited and unrestrained temperament, so I want to disdain this stupid way."

Many important officials gradually understood the deep meaning of Xiao Jin's words.

Pei Yue still looked at the Marquis of Xiangcheng indifferently, his eyes were deep and unpredictable.

Xiao Jin paused for a moment, and said calmly: "Ordinary people are angry, anxious or depressed when encountering such things, but Wei Guogong is so calm and confident. Except for him, everyone has passed away, so I really want to ask, is it true that Duke Wei is not at all curious about his own life experience?"

These words seem to be unreasonable, but which one standing in the hall is not a smart person with seven orifices?Following Xiao Jin's deduction, they soon realized that Pei Yue had come prepared today, without the slightest bit of impatience and panic of a sudden change.

In other words, maybe he had thought of how to deal with this a long time ago.

If you think about it in this way, the truth of the matter is almost ready to come out.

Pei Yue brought Xiao Jin's accountability to the power struggle with a few words before, but Xiao Jin ignored it, and backhandedly brought the focus of the controversy back to Pei Yue himself.

Although the tone and attitude of the two were very calm, and there seemed to be no smell of gunpowder on the surface, everyone else could feel that the momentum of the black cloud pressing down on the city was getting thicker and thicker.

At this time, Pei Yue suddenly smiled, and said calmly: "Many years ago, I was separated from Dingguo Mansion and took a maid to live in Luliuzhuang outside the city. One night, suddenly A young man broke into my house, and though he showed no malice, I was still very apprehensive and asked him who he was."

No one expected that Pei Yue would suddenly talk about the past. This change of subject made everyone confused about his thoughts, and no one would stand up and interrupt him, including Xiao Jin whose expression gradually became serious.

Pei Yue continued: "He said his name was Gu Fan, and his father was the Marquis of Guangping who was then the commander of the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army, so I asked him, how do you prove that Marquis Guangping is your father?"

Someone couldn't help coughing a few times.

Xiao Jin's face was a little ugly.

Pei Yue lightly smiled and said: "I was only 14 years old at the time, and I was so innocent, that's why I asked such a stupid question. I didn't expect that many years later, in the Great Liang Chaotang, in the two ceremonial halls, I could actually hear the majestic West Mansion. You Junji asked me, how can I prove that you are a descendant of the Pei family? Why do you believe that your biological father is really your biological father? Why are you so calm when you hear such rumors about your life experience?"

He stepped forward and looked at Xiao Jin, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Mr. Xiangcheng, how dare I ask you this year's Guigeng?"

Liu Xian shook his head and smiled wryly, raised his hand and said, "Pei Qing."

Pei Yue turned around and bowed his hands to the emperor, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I know how to behave, and I will not fight with the Marquis of Xiangcheng."

Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had never had such an idea, but seeing that Xiao Jin was embarrassed by being squeezed by Pei Yue, he wanted to ease the atmosphere.

However, at this time, Pei Yue said to Xiao Jin again: "Mr. Xiangcheng, you have been guarding Hucheng in the western region for ten years. No one denies your contribution to the court. Therefore, the late emperor entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. The late emperor not only bestowed on you 'loyalty' The plaque of "Guan Riyue" also allows you to be promoted to Xifu Youjunji and the Kyoto garrison, and at the same time the honor of the assistant minister, so it seems that you are not weaker than me, the duke of the country. You are so messed up today , it’s nothing more than wanting me to stay away from the court and become an idle prince, so that I can monopolize the power.”

Xiao Jin said slightly angrily: "Mr. Wei, I definitely don't have such an idea. It's just because it is related to the blood of the Tian family. It is the right way to clarify the inside and outside. Gaozu once set an iron law that the children of the clan and even the dignitaries of foreign relatives must never interfere with military power. It is the foundation of the stability of the imperial power. If Wei Guogong is not the descendant of Princess Qi Yang, this matter can be done in any way, if not..."

Pei Yue said indifferently: "Otherwise, so what?"

Xiao Jin said word by word: "I also ask Duke Wei to think about His Majesty and the court!"

Pei Yue lowered his head and glanced at the golden brick in front of him, and said with a half-smile, "The Marquis of Xiangcheng impresses me today, so it turns out that you can decide everything in court with one word."

Xiao Jin turned her head to look at Liu Xian, bowed her head and saluted and said, "I am considering the foundation of Liang Qianqiu, and I have absolutely no selfishness in it. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Liu Xian clenched his hands involuntarily.

With the development of the situation at this moment, he has obviously been able to judge that the contents of those words are very likely to be true.

That is to say, Pei Yue who was standing next to Xiao Jin not only held a heavy soldier in his hand, but also possessed a lot of wealth in his name, and also had the blood of Aunt Qi Yang and grandmother flowing in his body.

He seemed very hesitant. After all, if he turned a blind eye to this matter, at most there would be discussions among the people for a period of time, but it would not affect the overall situation of the court.But if the investigation is carried out, if Pei Yue's identity is confirmed, troubles will follow.

Xiao Jin could understand the emperor's hesitation, and he also understood that it was extremely difficult for a new emperor who had just ascended the throne for less than three months to make such a decision.He turned his head and looked around. At this time, if he wanted to suppress Pei Yue's aura, he had to have important officials with sufficient weight to stand up.

After Emperor Kaiping was assassinated, he had appointed seven auxiliary ministers. Among them, Mo Haoli, the leader of the left, had not entered the court for a long time, and Gu Liang would naturally stand on Pei Yue's side.In addition, there are Xiao Jin, Li Zi, Luo Ting and Han Gongduan. As long as the four of them have the same attitude, together with those solemn Shangshu and Jiuqing, this force is enough to strengthen the new king's confidence.

however……

After a long time, there was still no movement around.

Xiao Jin didn't expect such a scene, he frowned tightly, and couldn't help but look at the young Duke beside him.

But seeing Pei Yue standing tall and tall, his figure was as majestic as a pine and cypress.
