Invincible son

When the sky is twilight.

Dingguo Mansion, Dongyuan.

There was endless mourning in the main room. The white-haired Pei Taijun sat on the edge of the couch, looked at Pei Rong who was unconscious on the couch with tears, and cried: "How can a good person become like this? If you have something good or bad, how can I go to see your father in the future..."

All the female relatives next to him bowed their heads in silence. Although Pei Rong failed Pei Zhen's expectations and failed to learn to endure humiliation and carry the burden of the Pei family, he was Taijun Pei's only son after all, and no matter how useless he was, he could not let go of his blood relationship.If there is a tragedy where a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, the old lady may not be able to bear it.

After crying for a while, Pei Taijun wiped the corners of his eyes, turned to look at Pei Ning and asked, "Big girl, what's going on? Are there really thieves in the mansion?"

Pei Ning looked sad, and replied: "Old lady, the thing is like this."

She briefly recounted what happened last night, and then talked about the doctor's diagnosis, because Pei Rong was forcibly poured too much alcohol in a short period of time, so that he fell into a deep coma.Now it seems that there should be no fear of life, but even if he can wake up, it is very likely that he will become a fool or something.

This is because Jiang Wanli told Pei Ning privately that the wine used by the assassins is different from the traditional broken time, and they should use some method to make the wine stronger. It is not uncommon for such strong wine to burn the brain directly.

Taijun Pei's eyes were red after hearing this, and he said bitterly: "Brother Yun brought the thief into the mansion? Why isn't he here?"

Pei Ning said in a low voice: "He is also in a coma. According to the guards of His Royal Highness San...Jin Wang, the second brother was used by others, but there should be no serious problems, and he will wake up later."

Taijun Pei asked again: "What about Brother Cheng? He wouldn't come back to take a look at such a big event at home?"

Pei Ning said: "Brother entered the palace last night and didn't leave the palace until dawn. He just sent someone to tell the family not to worry, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."

"that's it?"

Taijun Pei stared at her steadfastly, feeling sad for a moment, unable to restrain himself.

The Pei family, who was the head of the nine founding fathers of Daliang and had been in charge of the military power in Daliang for decades, has now fallen into such a situation.Although Pei Rong was no longer the head of the family, he was Pei Zhen's eldest son and also Pei Cheng's biological father after all. He had been murdered so well that he didn't know his life or death. No one in such a big Pei family could stand up.

If Pei Zhen was still alive, not to mention thieves openly entering the mansion to harm others, even if it was only the younger generation in the mansion being bullied, the court would definitely not have this attitude.

Pei Taijun was sad and angry, tremblingly said: "Where are those thieves?"

A strange brilliance appeared in Pei Ning's eyes, and he said slowly: "About half a stick of incense, His Royal Highness King Jin took the four assassins out of the mansion, and he said that he wanted the court to give the Pei family justice."

Taijun Pei was stunned, and after a long time said with a complicated expression: "Will King Jin stand up for the Pei family?"

Pei Ning nodded solemnly.

Taijun Pei had mixed feelings, with a serious expression of shame on his face, recalling the various inhumane actions of the Pei family towards Pei Yue, the old man was almost ashamed at this moment.

"Hey……"

She lowered her eyes, looking shamelessly at Pei Ning's clear eyes.

……

Imperial City, Jingren Palace.

"Your servant is ineffective and deserves death. Please order the Queen Mother to punish me severely!"

Fan Yu paid homage and bowed his head on the ground.

Behind the bead curtain, Mrs. Wu said expressionlessly, "Get up and talk."

Fan Yu stood up with a face full of shame, and said: "Although I have already seen that Pei Yun is not in the same mind, I was ready to kick him away from the beginning, but I didn't expect that Pei's parents and daughters would return to the mansion yesterday, so the success fell short. But please rest assured, the minister's subordinates are tight-lipped, King Jin can't get any evidence he wants."

Empress Dowager Wu was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Tell me, what will Pei Yue do next?"

Fan Yu's thoughts turned, and he murmured: "I have already told my subordinates, and the first thing to do after entering Dingguo Mansion is to destroy the Yizhi. Even if Pei Yun is on King Jin's side, he will not be able to produce any evidence, and he will be accused of framing the Tian family. Even if King Jin can guess the truth of this matter, he can only hand over the subordinates to the court, so no matter how he investigates, it will become a case without a head."

Empress Dowager Wu took the sapphire teacup from Nushi, took a sip, and said slowly, "Pei Yue had left Dingguo Mansion at the same time you entered the palace. He personally led more than a hundred soldiers and escorted your four men through the city."

Fan Yu's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that King Jin wants to knock on the gate?"

Empress Dowager Wu said: "The Emperor has already sent people to stop him, he doesn't want Pei Yue to make a fuss about this matter. But in Aijia's opinion, Pei Yue will not miss this opportunity, maybe he will point the finger at the palace."

Fan Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Empress Dowager, this may not be a good thing."

Empress Dowager Wu raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

Fan Yu quickly said: "The King of Jin has a lot of supporters in the army, but the situation in the capital is not worrying. No matter the Imperial Army, the Jingdu Garrison Division or the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army, they are all troops absolutely loyal to the Tian family. In fact, his greatest reliance is his reputation, which is the hearts and minds he has won over the years. But if he blames the Empress Dowager for this matter without any evidence this time, it will cause a violent backlash."

Empress Dowager Wu remained silent.

Fan Yu continued: "If King Jin is aggressive, as long as the Tian family maintains enough forbearance and restraint, so that the world can see clearly the true face of this powerful official, the people's support will still be unknown!"

Empress Dowager Wu's brows and eyes widened suddenly, and she said calmly: "This statement is reasonable. You should leave the palace immediately to see how Pei Yue will respond, and report to Ai's family immediately."

Fan Yu excitedly said: "I obey the order!"

……

In the imperial study.

Liu Xian held a volume of ancient books in his right hand, his eyes fell on the words and sentences, but he didn't turn the pages for a long time.

Hou Yu, the junior supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, walked in with small steps and saluted, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the King of Jin has not returned to the palace."

A look of astonishment appeared on Liu Xian's face, and he asked, "He brought those assassins to the palace?"

Hou Yu hung his head and replied: "It is reported that the King of Jin did not come directly to Beicheng. After he left Zhuquefang, he first went east to the South and North Main Streets, and then turned to the north."

Liu Xian put down the ancient book and waved his hands to make Hou Yu retreat, then turned to look at the middle-aged general standing in front of the imperial court, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

The man was Li Zi, Marquis of Hejian, the commander of the Forbidden Army. After hearing the words, he responded calmly: "After all, King Jin is of the blood of the Pei family, a descendant of Dingguo. Today, he must seek justice for the Pei family. But in my opinion, King Jin's move is a little unwise."

Liu Xian repeated: "Unwise?"

Li Zi said: "Assassins attacked the Dingguo Mansion at night. This matter can be big or small. If it is done according to the court's law, the King of Jin will be invincible. But he didn't consider Luo's proposal at all last night, and now he is acting like this. It seems that he has no eyes for the king. It is true that with the status and reputation of King Jin today, even His Majesty will give a certain degree of respect and even tolerance."

He paused for a while, his eyes piercing: "But the sage has something to say, how can the way of being a minister be ignored?"

Liu Xian was thoughtful, then looked at the young civil official on the other side, and asked kindly: "Wu Qing's family?"

Wu Cunren, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Hejianhou's opinion. In fact, His Majesty treats the King of Jin with kindness and kindness. He did not force him into the palace to suppress this case, and sent several adults to persuade him gently. If the King of Jin insists on knocking on the gate, it will be a disappointment to His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Liu Xiandao: "King Jin has made so many contributions to Liang, it is only natural that I sympathize with him."

Wu Cunren said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise."

The atmosphere between the monarch and his subjects was very harmonious. After a while, Hou Yu walked into the imperial study again, but this time his steps were a little hurried.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the King of Jin did not come to the palace, but went to Guangde Square in the northwest."

Liu Xian was stunned.

The expressions of Li Zi and Wu Cunren changed slightly, and the latter frowned and said, "Prince Jin is going to Luanyiwei Yamen."

Guangdefang is far away from the imperial city, and the area of ​​the square is small and there are no other government offices. After Emperor Kaiping let Luan Yiwei stand on the stage, the government office was set up here.

Li Zi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go?"

Once the forbidden army is dispatched, the situation will probably become more dangerous.

Liu Xian naturally understood this truth. He shook his head and denied Li Zi's proposal, and then sighed: "I just don't understand, what exactly does King Jin want to do?"

There was silence in the hall, and no one could answer the young emperor's question.
