Invincible son

Chapter 137 136 【Inextricably linked】

Pei Yue once heard from Mr. Xi that the emperor has worked hard to govern the country for 13 years, step by step, and arranged the structure of the court and the army to check and balance each other.

If the strength of the two parties is close, there must be a struggle, but Emperor Kaiping's methods are superb, and he controls this struggle within an acceptable level.

Mr. Xi wrote down two names on the desktop, one was Wang Pingzhang, and the other was Mo Haoli.

He solemnly said: "Wang Pingzhang had a prosperous official career during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong, which is completely different from Gu Liang. At the beginning of Emperor Renzong's succession, he once thought of promoting Gu Liang to suppress Wang Pingzhang, and with Liang Jiegong (Pei Zhen) It has been discussed, but this kind of thing is quite difficult, so we can only figure it out slowly. You also know the following things. Renzong can't afford to be sick. Able to maintain balance.”

Pei Yue thought of his biological parents, as well as Chen Xizhi and Ye Qi, and couldn't help sneering: "This Duke is a ruthless man, even dare to kill the emperor's woman, so he is not afraid of courtiers attacking him?"

After a moment of silence, Mr. Xi said with a complicated expression: "The name of him leading the crowd to attack the Chen residence was to catch thieves."

Pei Yue felt it was extremely absurd, and he suddenly understood why Chen Xizhi spent countless money left by the Chen family to create a group of bandits in the Hengduan Mountains.Not only did she want to use these bandits to slaughter the people outside the capital, she even mobilized the capital to achieve the goal of attacking Xingliang Mansion.

Although her plan was thwarted by Pei Yue, Pei Yue finally figured out why she was so crazy.

What followed was confusion about what happened back then, and Pei Yue asked calmly: "Wang Pingzhang's reason is too perfunctory, who would believe it?"

Mr. Xi sighed softly: "14 years ago, Beijing and China were in chaos. After Renzong contracted a serious illness, his temperament became a little violent and unreasonable. In just a few months, he ransacked the homes of many honorable ministers. After his death, there are not many people who object to his ascension to the throne, after all, he was famous when he was a prince. Later, he personally chose the temple name of Renzong for Emperor Yongning, and no one in the court objected."

"So that's what happened. Our emperor doesn't seem to have a very broad mind."

Pei Yue shook his head. He still has some understanding of history. Before that, he couldn't understand why Emperor Yongning could get a temple name with the word "benevolence". After a long time, it turned out that Emperor Kaiping used it to satirize his atrocities. Emperor Zhongzong chose Emperor Yongning to succeed him, and the current emperor may be full of resentment.

As for how people will evaluate the Emperor Renzong thousands of years later, I am afraid that it depends on whether the current line can be passed on smoothly.

Mr. Xi nodded, without sarcasm, and continued: "You handed Pei Rong's criminal evidence to Mo Moyun, and now Li Zijun sent people to attack you. The confession is also in the Taishitai Pavilion. What will happen to these two people? As for the decision in the emperor's mind, Mo Moyun's opinion only accounts for part of the influence, and the other part comes from Wang Pingzhang's opinion, what do you think Wang Pingzhang will say?"

This is the exam. After thinking about it, Pei Yue replied: "Wang Pingzhang wanted to protect Li Zijun. I will miss this opportunity to attack the power of the founding prince."

Mr. Xi said: "That's right. Li Zijun's behavior is very bad, but for the emperor, since you are not dead, this matter has changed from a serious case of a bad nature to an opportunity to further adjust the court situation. On Pei Rong's side, If Wang Pingzhang wanted to take this opportunity to go further, the emperor would not punish Pei Rong severely."

He didn't explain too thoroughly, because he believed that Pei Yue could understand what he meant.

Pei Yue got up and paced slowly in the hall.

According to Mr. Xi, Li Zijun is likely to escape the death penalty this time, and because of Wang Pingzhang, the emperor may let him go.

The reason is very simple. Emperor Kaiping paid attention to the way of balance. Now Wang Pingzhang is No. 1 in the army. If the Pei family falls again, can Lu Min really resist his authority with the right military machine?
Even if the emperor knew that Pei Rong was an unsupportable waste, he would not easily erase the aura of the Pei family.

After Wang Pingzhang's death in the future, the love of the two generations of the Pei family's princes will also be washed away by time. Emperor Kaiping can also use the national war that has been planned for more than ten years to cleanse the forces in the army.At that time, the world will be unified, Ma Fang Nanshan, and there will be no military leaders like Pei Zhen and Wang Pingzhang, and the country of Daliang will become more stable.

Pei Yue unknowingly looked at these issues from a very high perspective, just like what Mr. Xi had expected of him.

Through these seemingly simple cases, he gradually figured out the thoughts of the man on the supreme throne.

After a long time, Pei Yue stopped and said solemnly: "Sir, I want to cut off Li Zijun's future, and I want Pei Rong to be exiled for three thousand miles."

This is his bottom line for the two of them.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to officially kill these two people, unless assassination is used, but who did he send to assassinate?Mr. Xi?Or Ye Qi?
You can't be that shameless.

The best thing to do is to let Li Zijun have no chance to take the lead in the military and politics, and let Pei Rong be exiled to a barren land. This is the most likely means of revenge he can think of.

After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Xi said approvingly: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible. The key depends on how you operate. I just finished talking about the structure of the West Mansion, and now I'll tell you about the East Mansion. The East Mansion is governed by two people, and the right is in power. Luo Ting's temperament is blunt and slightly irritable, probably because of his young age, his style of acting is bold and resolute, quite like the demeanor of a tyrannical governor in ancient times. Mo Haoli, who is in power on the left, is not easy to mess with, especially when you step into the court in the future pay attention."

Pei Yue said respectfully: "Please enlighten me, sir."

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "Master Mo practiced the art of kingship, especially good at annotating scriptures. Five of the twelve attendants in the six departments of the imperial court are his disciples. In addition, he is very capable in politics. Luo Ting made a big fuss in front, and then he came to clean up the situation. Daliang's national power has become stronger and stronger over the years, and it is inseparable from his overall planning."

Pei Yue said: "I understand, but sir, what does Mr. Mo have to do with the two cases we are discussing?"

Mr. Xi looked at him with some pity, and said lightly: "Mo Haoli's attitude will determine whether you can get that title smoothly. At the same time, civil servants don't like nobles, and they don't want to see a 14-year-old viscount Appear. If you are attacked by them, what happened in Hengduan Mountain will have a different result, such as what happened to Chang Si and Pei Rong."

Pei Yue suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

These two cases are obviously very simple, doesn't Daliang have any laws?

But he also knows that when things rise to a certain height, the law is often just a means to attack the other party.

Mr. Xi said: "If the imperial decree to bestow the title is to be issued, it must pass through the two governments, so you will most likely be called to the Grand Court Assembly, which is the battlefield where the final outcome of this matter will be decided."

Although a lot of troubles lay before him, Pei Yue did not despair, his eyes were slightly agitated, and he said slowly: "Sir, I want to be quiet these few days, please send someone to talk to Uncle Gu and Mo Moyun .By the way, try not to involve Ye Qi in it."

Mr. Xi agreed, and then smiled and said: "You let Ye Qi live in, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary knight-errant?"

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Sir, don't bother you to worry about it, I'll go and see her."

Then he walked away quickly.

Mr. Xi looked at his back with a gentle face, poured himself a cup of tea, and then hummed the frontier folk tunes he learned in the west.
