Invincible son

Chapter 1141 1142 [Floating across the sea]

The autumn rain is pattering and lingering.

The north wind blew the rain curtain and swayed, like layers of mist spread across the world, covering the continuous houses in the cities of Kyoto.

Thousands of drops of rain fell from the gray sky, playing together on the ridge of the roof, on the branches, and on the bluestone ground, just like a musician stroking the strings, extremely crisp and melodious.

Shen Danmo stood in the corridor, and the noble Danfeng looked at Pei Yue who was wearing a raincoat and hat, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up in a gentle arc.

"It's really annoying that the rain is endless. I don't know how long it will continue." Pei Yue sighed with a smile.

The maid stepped forward to help Pei Yue take off this dress, and handed over the dry handkerchief thoughtfully.

Pei Yue took it and wiped the raindrops falling from his face.

Shen Danmo wrinkled the tip of his nose and said: "After all, he is also the Duke of the country, so why does he look like a fisherman fishing on the river? It's just a matter of asking people to hold a big umbrella."

Pei Yue jokingly said: "That's not okay, the cool umbrella is only used for ruling, if I also use it like this, there will definitely be a group of imperial officials impeaching me tomorrow."

Shen Danmo smiled, then welcomed him into the hall, poured a cup of hot tea himself, and said softly: "Go and get rid of the humidity."

Seeing this, the maids retreated quietly.

Pei Yue responded, and took the initiative to sit beside Shen Danmo. The two were very close, and the clear and elegant fragrance lingered around him. He couldn't help asking curiously: "What fragrance?"

Shen Danmo wanted to put some distance away, but then thought of his purpose of coming to the house of Ruikangfang today, so he didn't move any further, but said with a half-smile: "I'm not the daughter of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, how could I What kind of sachet and sachet did my brother make for me?"

Pei Yue was at a loss for words, and it took a long time before he said meaningfully: "I heard something from my eldest sister. When I first left Dingguo Mansion, one day you and Gu Zhen went to visit her together. Not too happy? According to the eldest sister, the scene was extremely scary, and the two heroines each performed their own unique tricks.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Danmo couldn't help laughing, then stretched out his hand to twist his waist, and said angrily: "I will go to Sister Ning to complain some other day, and let you arrange her behind the scenes."

Pei Yue stopped talking nonsense, and said with a smile: "Although some exaggerated techniques were used, it should not be made up. I'm curious that that day was supposed to be the first time you and Gu Zhen met, how could you suddenly cut me off?" stand up?"

Shen Danmo said calmly: "Because I know she went to Lvliuzhuang to look for you."

Pei Yue couldn't hide his shock, and said incredulously, "Sister Mo'er, have you been jealous since then?"

"Pooh!"

Shen Danmo spat lightly, her cheeks were reddish and said: "You're messing around again, I'm one year older than you, how can I call you that?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "That makes sense, so what about calling me Madam?"

Shen Danmo shook his head and said, "That won't work either."

Pei Yue sighed, "You can't still be called Miss Shen like before, can you?"

Shen Danmo rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Call me sister."

Pei Yue grimaced, agreeing or not, but felt as if a little devil with horns appeared in front of him.Thinking back to Shen Danmo's gentle and considerate a few months ago when he made his lifetime appointment, he couldn't help but feel as if he had passed away.

From a certain point of view, she and Ye Qi are really similar.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble." Shen Danmo put away his joking thoughts, and asked seriously: "Has the imperial court decided on two candidates for exercising restraint?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "It's a bit difficult. Back then, Hucheng's battalion restraint was established permanently, and Hou Xiaojin of Xiangcheng's qualifications and abilities could convince everyone, but now my idea is that Hucheng's camp restraint will lead the Western Army, and the commander of a battalion is not enough. This is especially true for Chengjing's camp control, not only commanding the fifth battalion of the southern army, but also having the right to supervise the five states in the southern border, so it is natural to need someone who can control it."

Shen Danmo frowned slightly and said: "What's so difficult about this? The Hou of Xiangcheng was originally from the Western Army, and he had been in the Hucheng camp for ten years. Now it is appropriate to let him return to his post. No one in the court can find fault. As for the Chengjing camp Temperance, who else has this qualification besides you? The Marquis of Guangping cannot be sent out of Beijing again. He is a Zuo Junji, and he has passed the age of knowing the destiny, so the court must be sympathetic."

Pei Yue said leisurely: "The emperor didn't deny my proposal at first, but after he went back to the harem to meet the Empress Dowager Wu, he hesitated and kept all the papers for the invitation, making it difficult for people to understand what was in his heart."

Shen Danmo pondered and said: "It seems that the palace is still worried about you."

The reason why Pei Yue is unwilling to disclose Xu Churong's secret to the public is because that line is too important. Once it is announced, there is no guarantee that the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty will know it. It will not only threaten the safety of the Xu family, but also cause the loss of a crucial piece of information later. channel.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, the concerns of Liu Xian and the princes of the court are understandable. After all, if Pei Yue is allowed to control the southern border army in a legitimate manner, then the power in his hands will appear extremely terrifying.

However, Pei Yue did not follow Shen Danmo's words, but changed the subject: "Someone is investigating Liu Bao."

Shen Danmo was startled.

She already knew all the details before and after Emperor Kaiping's assassination, and at first she was very puzzled that Liu Bao was still alive, because this eunuch seemed insignificant, but it was the key to Emperor Kaiping's departure from the palace to Nanxun Hall.No matter how much gunpowder was buried inside and outside Nanxun Hall, if Emperor Kaiping did not come here, then everything would be a fantasy.

It is really incomprehensible that such a key character as Liu Bao can still survive intact afterwards.

Pei Yue said slowly: "Liu Bao can't die."

Shen Danmo said: "Why?"

Pei Yue replied: "I don't know what kind of agreement there is between Yue Zhang and Liu Bao, but after the incident, Liu Bao is under the firm control of the palace, as long as someone makes a move, he will definitely be stolen. Even if he Now he is sent to the imperial mausoleum, and there are countless masters in the palace around him. It is really not difficult to kill him, the key is how to do it without anyone noticing, and afterward, he must be cleared of Yue Zhang's suspicion."

He paused for a moment, and said with difficulty: "But neither my father-in-law nor I actually want to kill Liu Bao, because we are all on the same boat. If Liu Bao leaks the news, the Liu family may be punished by ten clans. He is an old man in the palace, we don't need to remind him of this. Besides, if he dies afterwards for no reason, there will be no silver 300 taels here."

Shen Danmo looked at him steadfastly, feeling a little troubled in his heart.

It is difficult to have a perfect policy in the world, let alone such a major event as killing the king, it is impossible to be foolproof and without any hidden dangers.

Pei Yue sighed softly, and continued: "Taige is in charge of checking the periphery, and Luan Yiwei is in charge of checking the core area. It should be the work of Empress Dowager Wu."

Shen Danmo was not surprised that he would know the secrets inside the pavilion, but he even had eyeliner in Luan Yiwei, which is amazing.

Pei Yue briefly described what happened to Wen Yu.

Shen Danmo nodded slightly, and asked again: "What are you going to do next?"

Pei Yue himself had nothing to do with the regicide case, because Mo Moyun had already separated from him before the incident, and he had stood firm in a series of changes.

Just in case the Empress Dowager Wu finds out the secret behind Liu Bao, how can the Guangping Hou Mansion keep it?
Pei Yue said calmly: "When necessary, I will let the empress dowager understand why the late emperor did not investigate Liu Bao before his death."
