Invincible son

Chapter 1267 1268 [many years ago]

The next day.

The festive atmosphere in the capital is still strong. After Pei Yue returned to Beijing, the major shops headed by Xiangyun launched all kinds of novel discounts. Every shop is full of people, and the streets and alleys are full of pedestrians.

In the spacious carriage, Xu Churong deliberately kept a certain distance from Pei Yue, frowned and said, "Why do I think this is not easy?"

Pei Yue asked, "What's the matter?"

"If the princess sister wants to see me, you can let me enter the palace to pay her respects, so why bother getting involved in the banquet between you and the emperor? Although the emperor gave you the highest honor and trust yesterday, some things will become conflicts sooner or later. Now you The general situation in the court has been established, and the authority can even threaten the safety of the Tian family. Today's banquet obviously has far-reaching meanings, and I don't believe that the princess sister can't understand."

"Because of Concubine Chen Guifei's birth, her life in the palace is not as convenient as you think. One thing more is worse than one thing less."

Xu Churong blinked, moved closer and asked, "Really? I don't think so."

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Then what?"

Holding his chin, Xu Churong said unhurriedly: "His Majesty wants to suppress you, but he can't be too urgent, so he should suppress and appease you at the same time."

Pei Yue stared at her beautiful side face, and calmly said: "I understand. Your Majesty's way of suppressing me is to reduce the power in my hands, and the way to appease me is to let Concubine Chen Gui support you and let you marry me in a legitimate way." .”

"You... what nonsense!"

Xu Churong's cheeks fluttered, she turned her head and said nothing.

Pei Yue approached, held her wrist and said: "It's just a joke. After arriving in Qinyuan, His Majesty must have something to discuss with me, and Concubine Chen will take you to enjoy the scenery and say goodbye. You don't have to have any psychological burden. She can say anything in front of her, since I brought you back to the capital, naturally I won't make you worry like before."

Xu Churong's expression eased, and he said softly, "Okay, I see."

After arriving at Qinyuan, as Pei Yue said, just as he got off the car, a group of palace people greeted him. One of the ladies in the palace came forward to greet him, and very respectfully invited Xu Churong to see Concubine Chen Gui.

Hou Yu, the junior supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saluted Pei Yue and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for the Duke of Wei in the inner garden."

Qinyuan was built by Pei Yue, and he knew the layout of the place like the palm of his hand, but he still followed Hou Yu step by step.When he was about to arrive at the elegant house in the inner garden, Pei Yue suddenly said, "Young Supervisor Hou."

Hou Yu slowed down, bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Pei Yue asked calmly: "I asked you about someone who knows how Liu Bao is doing recently?"

Hou Yu was startled, and then lowered his voice and said: "Liu Duzhi is still in the imperial tomb, and the servants don't know the specific situation. Please forgive me, Duke Wei."

Pei Yue stopped talking, walked past him, and then saw Liu Xian standing behind the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.

He stepped forward and saluted, "See Your Majesty."

Liu Xian laughed loudly, embraced his right arm very intimately, and said: "There is no one else present today, so you don't have to be overly restrained, it's better to relax. Come, sit down."

There is a round table in the hall, and the two monarchs and ministers sit facing each other, with a wine jug in front of each.

Under Hou Yu's guidance, all the court ladies retreated, and the hall became more and more quiet.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Pei Yue suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar.

It was two years ago when he returned to Beijing from the south, Emperor Kaiping and Concubine Wu Guifei prepared a family banquet for him, and even served him soup with their own hands.At that time, Emperor Kaiping once said that he hoped that Pei Yue could help and protect the Liangjiang Mountains, and be a loyal minister who would always be loyal to the Tian family.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, but the words are still in my ears.

The smile of the young emperor on the opposite side seemed a little vague, as if it was not real enough.

The two monarchs and ministers have not spoken for a long time.

Liu Xian looked at Pei Yue who had been silent all along, and slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

It seems that there are thousands of words, but you can't pick out a single one.

With the decline of the older generation of great figures, it is an indisputable fact that today's Daliang is thriving in the hands of this young couple.In particular, the homeland in the southern border has returned to Daliang's hands. Liu Xian has made achievements enough to comfort the kings of the past just one year after he took the throne, and Pei Yue has become the undeniable pillar of the country in the hearts of the world.

And that's just the beginning.

People of insight in the ruling and opposition parties firmly believe that as long as His Majesty and Duke Wei uphold their original aspirations, Daliang will surely have a glorious and prosperous age unprecedented in history.

However, the silence at the moment casts a faint haze over that beautiful vision.

Liu Xian suddenly picked up the jug and filled a glass of wine for himself.

Holding the shiny jade cup, he said with emotion: "Xu Song told me back then that the Xiangyun is a cornucopia. If Qibao Pavilion can collect it, I can make a lot of money every day. Although I was already a prince at that time , but the father is very strict, and he is not allowed to embezzle money from the Tianjia treasury. But to make friends with ministers, cultivate confidantes, and support masters, each of these things requires too much money, so I was persuaded by him, and then Make an idea of ​​an estate in your name."

Pei Yue raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and also picked up the flagon to pour wine.

Liu Xian said leisurely: "At that time, you were just a bastard who broke through the door. Even though you made some contributions and showed your face in the court, you were nothing more than a mere viscount. There are so many relatives of Wu Xun, don't say you Such a baseless viscount, even an earl would not dare to disobey a prince's mind, so I don't take you seriously at all."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."

Liu Xian said with great interest: "Did you really think so?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. With His Majesty's status at that time, trying to kill me would be tantamount to crushing a bug to death. If you directly killed me at that time and wiped me from this world, the emperor will At most, it is just a warning, and the worst ending is nothing more than demotion and self-examination behind closed doors."

Liu Xian shook his head and said, "But you didn't accept your fate."

Pei Yue stared at the clear wine in the glass, and said calmly: "For Your Majesty, it's easy to crush a bug to death, but if you want to break the spine of this bug and make it extremely obedient, it's very difficult. It's not that simple."

Liu Xian choked slightly, and then said in relief: "This sounds pleasing to the ear."

Pei Yue smiled, of course he understood what the other party meant.

Liu Xian continued to reminisce about the past, and said slowly: "After being tricked by you, I didn't really value your ability, but was filled with resentment and anger, so I asked Nian Xu to follow you out of Beijing with a group of masters, hoping to find a chance to kill you." Kill you. Looking back later, I can't help but wonder why I made such a stupid move."

Pei Yue said indifferently: "Did Your Majesty figure it out later?"

Liu Xian smiled and said: "The reason is not complicated. At that time, I had nothing else to do but the love of my father and mother, and you had the Marquis of Guangping and that Mr. Xi by your side, and more importantly, you had the ability to live to death." courage."

Pei Yue didn't pick up the conversation.

Liu Xian picked up the wine cup and respected from a distance: "I was ashamed of you back then, so I respect you."

Pei Yue met the eyes of the young emperor, without deliberately making a gesture of sincerity and fear, and said softly: "Your Majesty is serious."

The two took a sip at the same time.

Liu Xian suddenly sighed, and asked curiously: "I really want to know, did you hate me for this after you met Nian Xu in the Western Territory?"

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, as if recalling the past, finally shook his head and said: "To tell the truth, Your Majesty, I actually forgot about it a long time ago."

Liu Xian looked at him steadily, and suddenly laughed.

The laughter is full of carefree meaning.
