Invincible son

Chapter 1206 1207 [There will be times when the wind and the waves break] ([-])
The atmosphere in the imperial palace and the imperial study is extremely harmonious.

Liu Xian still had a look of excitement on his face, even though he had already preached impassionedly at the court meeting.

The victory of the Western Army undoubtedly boosted the mood of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Gu Liang defeated the Wu Army in the west of Guping Army Town, defeated the [-] army led by Zhou Dewei in one fell swoop, and captured tens of thousands of heads. It was a hearty and far-reaching victory.

Liu Xian calmed down, looked at the smiling Pei Yue and asked, "Pei Qing, do you think Western Wu will withdraw its troops and stop fighting?"

Pei Yue said slowly: "Your Majesty, the reason why Western Wu took the initiative to provoke the war is simply because they knew that Daliang would become stronger and stronger. Now that the two countries simply compete in military power, Western Wu may have a chance of winning. But if it continues to delay , With the steady implementation of various reforms in our dynasty and the prosperity of the country, the Gaoyang Plain will not become a horse farm for the cavalry of the Western Wu Dynasty."

Luo Ting and Han Gongduan sitting on the other side nodded in agreement.

Pei Yue continued: "In addition, Southern Zhou will definitely not miss the opportunity to let me face the enemy. This is one of the reasons why the monarchs and ministers of Western Wu decided to send troops. Zuo Junji has won successive victories. It is very difficult to establish a victory here, after all, the opponent's main force still exists, and the world-famous Anyang Dragon Knight has not yet dispatched."

Han Gongduan echoed: "Wei Guogong's words are reasonable. Western Wu put on a decisive battle this time. If they go back home because of these two defeats, there will inevitably be chaos within Wu."

Liu Xian naturally believed in their judgment, and said calmly: "I think there will be a big battle in the western region, but fortunately, there is an army from the left to share my worries. If we can win this battle, I will never treat him and the soldiers badly."

Han Gongduan glanced at Luo Ting indiscriminately, but the latter remained silent.

Pei Yue didn't seem to see the eyes of the two intertwined, and said to Liu Xian: "Your Majesty, if my deduction is correct, a stalemate will form in the western region in a short period of time, and it is difficult to break out a large-scale battle."

"Why?"

"The longer the time drags on, the more anxious the Wu army will be. The enemy's attack and our defense mean that the Wu army will have to pay a higher price. Standing for a period of time can not only consume the strength of the Wu army, but also shake their morale. Zuo Junji is well versed The art of war, naturally understands the principle of waiting for work with ease. In fact, His Majesty can temporarily put aside his attention to the western border, and now is a good time to deepen the reform in the country, and the resistance that we usually encounter is weakening due to the impact of the border war."

"This statement is justified, and I hope that the two rulers will take more care of the reform."

Luo and Han nodded one after another.

Pei Yue hesitated a little, but finally said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Liu Xian said generously: "Ai Qing, just tell me."

Pei Yue said sternly: "Your Majesty and your ministers are all in the capital, two thousand miles away from the border. Although they can constantly receive reports from the border, after all, they lack the convenience of on-the-spot observation. In this way, the information your Majesty has must be It’s not comprehensive enough, and we can only make speculations about the direction of the battle, which is far behind the judgment of the border generals.”

Liu Xian knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and he couldn't help but said: "Could it be that I will interfere with the specific use of troops by the Zuo Junji? You can rest assured that I will never do such stupid acts, and will only provide enough support for the frontline soldiers."

Pei Yue praised: "Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven!"

Liu Xian said with a smile: "Okay, let's stop doing this, the first emperor said that you were not sincere at all when you flattered me."

The atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers was extremely harmonious. After discussing the logistics of the Western Army, the two rulers stood up and resigned.

Liu Xian kept Pei Yue.

All the palace people were screened out, and needles could be heard in the imperial study.

Liu Xian said slowly: "I know that you have always been on guard against the Tian Family."

Pei Yue remained silent.

Staring at his young and handsome face, Liu Xian couldn't help but think of the long and frank conversation they had in Qinyuan that day. Then he sighed softly and said softly: "I understand why you are worried. After all, being with you is like being with a tiger. Especially when you are still so young. But I hope you can understand that as long as you have no disobedience, I will never be suspicious of you, let alone secretly persecute you."

Pei Yue remained silent.

Liu Xian laughed at himself and said: "I know that these words are not in line with the identity of the emperor, and even less worthy of the king's scheming and scheming. Maybe you don't think so, and think that there has never been such a stupid emperor since ancient times, but what I said From the heart."

Pei Yue said with emotion: "Your Majesty, I am not a person who does not know what is good or what is bad, but many times... the four words "involuntary", even if you are as expensive as the emperor, you can't avoid it."

"Yes, of course I know that the former emperor was also confined here." Liu Xian looked calm and said slowly: "But I don't think that a minister with evil intentions will repeatedly save his life and make the most elite and most loyal under his command The cavalry rush to the frontier to help the frontier army, and they will take out the firearms that have been hidden for a long time when the frontier army needs it."

The young couple looked at each other.

Liu Xian smiled and said: "If you continue to hide those firearms and take them out when you turn against me, how can the Jingdu garrison and the Imperial Army stop them? On that day, you took the initiative to tell me the reason why Zuo Junji was able to defeat the North Road of West Wu The main cavalry of the army is because of the assistance of those firearms. I didn't elaborate at the time, but I just don't understand why you dare to do this."

Pei Yue also remembered the situation that day. In order to protect Guliang and the people in the western region, he sent the two types of firearms developed by the craftsmen to them. He also knew that it was impossible to hide this matter from the young emperor in front of him.

He has many reasons to explain it. For example, the Shouyang Mountain Mine has been researching the mining of deep coal mines for the past two years, and the firearm was invented by chance.

But for the emperor, it doesn't matter why such a powerful firearm appeared, the key is that Pei Yue did not dedicate it to the court in advance.

This alone is enough to arouse the suspicion and fear of the emperor.

Now that Liu Xian said so bluntly, Pei Yue was really surprised.

He thought it would be a wrestling between the monarch and his ministers, but Liu Xian didn't think in that direction at all.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue couldn't help saying sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed."

Liu Xian waved his hand and said: "The former emperor was good at checks and balances, so you have concerns and hope to have the power to protect yourself. I understand this. Many people say that you have a heart of disobedience, but they seem to have forgotten that you How many times have you been born and died for Daliang. The most important thing is that I still remember what you said, the prosperity of Daliang does not lie in how vast the territory is, but that everyone can eat and wear warm."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Xian smiled and said: "Since I want to uphold the last emperor's will and make the world peaceful and unified, how can I take actions that destroy the foundation? From now on, you don't need to worry about those gossips anymore. I only have trust in you." .”

Pei Yue stood up and said: "I will remember your Majesty's teachings, and dare not forget them. Your Majesty, I only hope that the Lianghaiyan and the rivers will be clean, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. For this, I will devote my whole life to it."

Liu Xian's face was slightly moved.

Because he finally understood the reason why Emperor Kaiping called himself to the dragon bed to exhort him the night before his death.

"The stronger the beam, the more stable the Tian family's position will be. Pei Yue is very smart, even the smartest young man I have ever seen in this life, so as long as you don't force him, as long as there is no chaos in the court, he will not have a different heart .”

"Also, he is a very affectionate person, you must not forget this."

"Such a young man is rare, you should cherish it."
