Invincible son

Chapter 1124 1125 [The man is alone and haggard]

This result is both unexpected and reasonable.

As the commander in chief of the imperial army, Li Zi, the Marquis of Hejian, would never express his position on such a major matter despite his status as an auxiliary minister.

The reason why he was able to gain the trust of Emperor Kaiping, and Liu Xian never thought of replacing him, was because Li Zi would only firmly carry out the emperor's will.

After watching for half a day, Li Zi was very clear about the reason and purpose of Xiao Jin's actions, but before Liu Xian spoke, he would definitely not interfere with His Majesty's judgment. This is the duty of the commander of the imperial army.

On the East Mansion's side, Luo Ting and Han Gongduan had already exchanged glances. Although they had different starting points, the former believed in Pei Yue's loyalty, while the latter was worried that too much persecution would cause Pei Yue's fierce backlash, so it can be said that they came to the same goal by different routes.At least for the time being, the adjustments in the military have not been fully implemented, and the smooth implementation of several national policies to stabilize people's livelihood cannot do without Pei Yue's help, not to mention that Pei Yue's personal reputation is now at the top.

In a word, Emperor Kaiping did not attack Pei Yue before his death. Instead, he used various methods to appease him. Even though it was because of Pei Yue's own stand, it also showed that this young man The background and strength of the powerful.

At this time, if Pei Yue is forced to hand over his military power with those words, it may lead to a tragic disaster.

The two of Luo Han did not show up, and the rest of the civil servants fell into hesitation.

Xiao Jin figured out these complicated reasons in a very short period of time, his face was still firm, and he no longer hoped that others would share the same hatred, but said to Liu Xian again: "Your Majesty, I beg you to thoroughly investigate this matter. It proves that the Duke of Wei has nothing to do with the blood of the Tian family, and I am willing to resign from the army to apologize to the Duke of Wei!"

"No need!"

When the officials were shocked, Pei Yue suddenly raised his tone.

He stopped looking at Xiao Jin, took two steps towards the imperial steps, and silently bowed.

When he got up again, Pei Yue's face was a little more tired and tired. He and Liu Xian exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the heroes in the hall who controlled the fate of the beam, and said leisurely: "Although you don't speak, but Pei knows in his heart that you agree with the proposal of the Marquis of Xiangcheng very much. When the late emperor was still alive, people often advised the late emperor not to put too much trust in me, a young martial artist. Looking through the history books of Huanghuang, there are many powerful officials like this, and the situation has changed. The Lord is mostly because of the martial arts rebellion."

Liu Xian couldn't help frowning and said, "Pei Qing, don't get excited."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have something in my heart that I want to take advantage of today's opportunity to say."

Liu Xianpin understood the meaning of this sentence, and then said with a complicated expression: "Say it."

"All the princes in the Manchu Dynasty were well-read people, except for me, who was ignorant and incompetent. After all, the late emperor often reprimanded me, saying that I hadn't read a few books seriously."

Pei Yue paused for a moment and sneered: "The late Emperor is right. I don't like those poems and articles the most in my life, but it doesn't mean that I don't understand the principles of life. If you suspect that I have power, you will have evil intentions. Today I will Let me discuss with you, what is loyalty and what is treachery!"

He looked at Luo Ting and asked seriously: "Luo is in power, have I ever intervened in the government affairs of various ministries in these years, have I ever placed any cronies in the six ministries, ten temples and one prison in the central government?"

Luo Ting shook his head solemnly and said, "No."

Pei Yue looked at Han Gongduan again, and said slowly: "After Han participated in politics, the Nongsang Supervisor and the Imperial Medical Center were established, did I ever have any act of favoritism?"

Han Gongduan sighed: "The lower officials hope that Wei Guogong can concentrate on these government affairs, just sigh..."

After all, he knew how to measure and didn't add fuel to the fire at this time.

Pei Yue looked around the crowd and said: "I won many battles in the western border, and when I was in the southern border, I personally led five thousand horses to attack Fang Xie Xiao's central army. This is the duty of a general, and it is not worth it. Come out to brag about yourself, but from the beginning to the end, I have never used the power of command to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of the generals of the frontier army!"

He breathed out slowly, looked at Xiao Jin and said: "You Junji, Your Majesty has appointed me as the prefect of the West Prefecture for more than two months, have I interfered with you and Zuo Junji's adjustment of the military structure during this period? "

Xiao Jin said in a deep voice: "Of course there is no—"

Pei Yue interrupted him directly and said: "Since there is no such thing now, then don't just spout alarmist words!"

He looked at everyone and said in awe: "You suspect that I am the second Wang Pingzhang, but you don't know that when Wang Pingzhang had such power as me, did he ever stick to his heart like me? From the day I stepped into the court, Doubts and slanders kept coming, as if I might breed evil intentions at any time. Since you are so loyal, why didn't you dare to denounce Wang Pingzhang's ambition and desire for power? Comparing the two is simply absurd!"

All the ministers bowed their heads silently.

Pei Yue only looked at Luo Ting at this time, and said with some admiration: "Of course, I know that when Luo was in power, he was only Yushi Zhongcheng, and he impeached Wang Pingzhang. It is because there are people like Luo in power standing here, so I I didn't break the jar, so I broke it apart with you and smashed it to pieces to make it clear!"

There is still a lot to say, but there is no need to elaborate.

Pei Yue turned to the emperor on the dragon chair again, saluted like a rite, and then said very calmly: "Your Majesty Qizuo, my minister Pei Yue, today please resign from the post of Zhiyuan of the Military Academy and the commander of the Huwei Camp, and return to the countryside. , with the hearts of the gentlemen of the court!"

Liu Xian was stunned.

In the eyes of the ministers below, His Majesty the Emperor is clearly unable to cope with this situation.

Especially if Pei Yue's last words got out, Liu Xian and them would soon be branded as faint kings and treacherous ministers.

What's more, there are a few paragraphs of words that clarify the heart as a foreshadowing. The dignified Duke Wei was forced to leave the court by a thin piece of paper. Stand by Pei Yue's side.

As the instigator, Hou Xiaojin of Xiangcheng, who was still calm at this time, said slowly: "Mr. Wei, I never thought of using this matter to force you to leave the court. Even if you are really the queen of Princess Qiyang You don’t need to resign from the military, you just need to let Zangfengwei and Wudingwei split into Daliang Frontier Army to increase the combat power of the Frontier Army, which is enough to prove your loyalty.”

Luo Ting finally couldn't bear it and said: "Mr. Xiangcheng, you are a veteran in the battlefield. You should know that it is not easy to train an elite army. Wouldn't it be self-destructive to split up like this? Although I am not good at military, I also know you This proposal is unwise."

In fact, in his capacity, he shouldn't have said it so directly, but Xiao Jin's proposal made it clear that he wanted to cut Pei Yue's foundation in the army.

Luo Ting was really worried that Pei Yue would fly into a rage after hearing Xiao Jin's words.

However, Pei Yue still looked at Liu Xian calmly, calmly waiting for the emperor's decision.

At this moment, an inner eunuch cautiously and urgently entered the side hall, and after getting permission, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the left governor is asking to see you outside the hall!"

The tense atmosphere in the hall eased a little, but after Mo Haoli entered the hall, everyone's hearts were raised.

I haven't seen him for two months, and Mo Haoli's condition seems to be extremely bad.

He walked in supported by two young disciples.

Liu Xian couldn't help standing up immediately.

Luo Ting and Han Gongduan stepped forward and took the old man's skinny arm from the Mo family's children.

"Cough cough..."

Mo Haoli raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked at Liu Xian with his dim old eyes, and said slowly, "Your Majesty."

"Come here, give me a seat! Bring a high-ranking chair!" Liu Xian said loudly.

Mo Haoli waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, old minister... I just want to tell Your Majesty a word when I ask to see His Majesty today."

Liu Xian said respectfully: "Mr. Jun Xing, please tell me."

Mo Haoli lamented: "Your Majesty, the old minister has also heard about what happened in the capital today. In fact, if Pei Yue wanted to rebel, he could have rebelled when Wang Pingzhang conspired."

He glanced at Xiao Jin who was bowing his head and eyebrows, and said with difficulty: "Take a ten thousand step back, so what if Pei Yue is really the descendant of Princess Qi Yang?"

"His surname is not Liu!"

Just five words, easily dispelling the haze in everyone's mind.

A storm that was about to brew gradually showed signs of calming down because of the appearance of this thin old man.

However, Pei Yue looked at Liu Xian at this moment.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and the helplessness in Pei Yue's eyes flashed.
