Invincible son

After Pei Yun left, Pei Yue sat quietly for a long time.

For the second young master of the Pei family with a heart higher than the sky, he has always had a bad impression, especially when Pei Yun suggested to betroth Pei Ning to the eldest prince, it made him furious.Fortunately, Emperor Kaiping was still alive at that time, if this happened today, Pei Yun's end would definitely not be as cheap as a few slaps.

As for those other calculations, Pei Yue won't take them too seriously.

It's just that he didn't expect that Pei Yun could really change his mind. Perhaps it was because of the joy at the court meeting that day that he let go of his obsession.

Soft footsteps sounded next to him, Pei Yue turned his head to look, and saw Pei Ning walking slowly, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, obviously he already knew Pei Yun's decision, and he looked like he was crying again.

Pei Yue said helplessly and distressedly: "Sister, why are you crying so well?"

Pei Ning sat down beside him, and sighed: "I don't know when Pei Yun will come back. The old lady also shed tears just now, and he won't listen to what you say, and he even carried your name out. Two Brother, he looks gentle, but his temper is extremely stubborn. No one can persuade him since he was a child. Now that he is willing to do some practical things, I, as a sister, am of course happy, but I am also worried that he will conflict with others outside. "

"You are just too kind. Pei Yun just went outside to relax, not looking for short-sightedness, why should he be so self-sufficient."

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing. Seeing her frowning, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it. Don't worry, Xiangyun has opened stores all over the three states in the north, and I will let people Take care of his safety, make sure he is alive and doing what he wants to do."

Pei Ning said with some embarrassment: "Let the third brother bother."

Pei Yue said: "There is no need for the family to be heretics. Besides, I am only taking care of his safety, and I am not letting him enjoy the treatment of a powerful son. It is not a matter of bothering. After all, you are thinking about this duke's mansion all day long." The people who belonged to you, and now you have a big family from Prince Jin's Mansion, have you ever thought about yourself?"

Pei Ning was slightly taken aback, looked at him puzzled and said, "I'm doing pretty well."

"I know." Pei Yue said earnestly: "I don't mean daily life, but do you have anything you want to do? You are close to Shen Danmo, and you should know that she manages several big companies in the south, almost Sleep and forget to eat and indulge in it. I mean, each of us always has something that interests us besides eating enough and sleeping enough."

Pei Ning raised his right hand, propped his clean and white chin, and said with a bit of bewilderment in his long eyes, "I don't know what I like to do, but... I have lived in this city since I was a child. In the Duke’s Mansion, the farthest place I’ve been to is Xianyun Manor outside the city. If I have the chance, I’d like to see the scenery outside, does that count?”

Pei Yue smiled and said, "Why not? I will take care of this matter, and I will guarantee you to travel all over the world."

Pei Ning pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't take this matter seriously in her heart, because she knew that storms were coming in the capital, and also knew the attitude of the nobles in the palace towards her third brother.

Looking at Pei Yue's faint smile, she seemed to be able to see the exhaustion in his heart. She raised her hand to help him smooth the wrinkles between his brows, just like taking care of that younger brother who was locked up in the cramped courtyard.

What Pei Yue saw was her pair of clear and flawless eyes without any impurities.

There was a steady drizzle outside the window, just like back then.

……

The autumn rain is like fog, soaking Kyoto into a hazy ink painting.

"This rain came at a good time."

In the study room outside Xiangguo Mansion, a middle-aged man listened to the pattering rain outside, and spoke expressionlessly.

Xiao Jin looked at the resentment in the depths of his eyes, and said lightly: "What do you mean by brother Ding Zhong?"

The middle-aged man was Ning Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who voluntarily resigned from office a few days ago. His nickname was Ding Zhong, and his nickname was Shu Gong.

He pointedly said: "Come like wind and rain, go like dust."

Of course Xiao Jin could understand the resentment in the other party's heart. After all, after studying hard for 20 years and experiencing countless ups and downs in the court, she finally worked hard to get a high position, and it was the position of a heavenly official second only to the ruling of the Eastern Mansion.Although the positions of Luo Ting and Han Gongduan cannot be shaken, as long as they are ministers of the Ministry of Officials for a day, Ning Huai'an will be able to hold great power.

It is a common thing in official circles for people to leave tea to cool down. Even if Ning Huai'an can maintain his status for a while, as time goes by, he will eventually disappear from the sight of the world.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Jin sighed: "The Tian Family's fault in this matter is the first, and they just wronged Brother Ding Zhong."

Ning Huai'an said coldly: "The ups and downs of the officialdom are really normal, and Ning is not going to act like a child. However, the king of Jin has already achieved great power, and now he is directly intervening in the appointment and dismissal of important officials in the court. It won't take long. I'm afraid he can completely control the power, is Hou Ye planning to sit and watch?"

Xiao Jin didn't answer.

Ning Huai'an then continued: "Ning is not afraid of his own life and death, but he does not want to see the power of the court fall aside. Today, I have the audacity to come to the door, I only hope that Lord Hou can make up his mind at this juncture, otherwise sooner or later there will be a change of seeking to usurp the throne !"

Xiao Jin said in a deep voice: "Brother Ding Zhong is serious."

Ning Huai'an shook his head and said, "Heavy words? This time King Jin fought openly with the Tian family, but in the end it was the Tian family who took the initiative to give in. Lord Hou thinks this was done by a minister? Even if Ning's official position is not mentioned, the next time King Jin will What do you want? One step back is one step back, and this will only fuel King Jin's ambition. The history books are clear, and there are countless similar things."

Xiao Jin knew very well that Ning Huai'an was not alone, but a representative of a considerable number of officials in the court, and even another envoy sent by the empress dowager in the palace.

After a long time, he asked calmly: "The current situation is so difficult, why did brother Dingzhong teach me?"

Ning Huai'an focused his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Although the clan of the Southern Dynasty has already held a surrender ceremony, His Majesty has not yet offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors."

Xiao Jin fell silent again.

Ning Huai'an said earnestly: "Master Hou, don't come again if you don't miss this opportunity."

Xiao Jin said slowly: "This matter is not difficult to handle. The key lies in how to do it in a logical manner. At least on the bright side, we must convince the world that the Tian family has no choice but to do it."

Ning Huai'an smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Why is this so difficult? At that time, you only need to do some tricks, and the court will be invincible."

Liang has established the country for nearly a hundred years, and civil servants and Wu Xun have never been at odds with each other. However, once they are combined, they will burst out with shocking power.

The two discussed secretly for a long time, and it was not until it was dark that Ning Huai'an got up to leave.

Xiao Jin personally sent him to the back alley of the Duke's Mansion, watched him board an ordinary carriage and leave before turning back to the mansion.

At this moment, the housekeeper approached and said, "Master Pei, Lord Pei of Peicheng is here."

Xiao Jin smiled, then nodded and said: "Please meet him in the hall."

In the front hall of the Duke's Mansion, Pei Cheng sat upright, with a solemn demeanor and sharp eyes.

"You haven't come to my place for some days."

Before Xiao Jin walked in, his voice had already reached Pei Cheng's ears.

He got up to meet him, and saluted meticulously.

Xiao Jin took his arm kindly, and said with a smile, "There is no need to be formal between you and me."

For Pei Cheng, the middle-aged man in front of him was not only the Dongfu military plane, but also his guide after joining the army, and the only elder who valued and trusted him.Without the experience in Hucheng, without Xiao Jin's support and support, he knew very well that he would have almost no chance of taking over the banner of his ancestors and gradually recreating the glory of the Pei family in the army.

However, Xiao Jin did not pull.

He looked at Pei Cheng who was leaning slightly, and finally frowned.
