Invincible son

Chapter 203 202 [Together Bright Moon]

"I hope the world will be peaceful soon."

If Pei Yue's words had reached Luo Ting's ears before tonight, he might have gotten a "high-minded" evaluation, but at this moment, the right governor did not laugh at him, but let Pei Yue sit opposite him, and personally offered Pei Yue Poured a cup of tea.

Pei Yue quickly got up and took it with both hands.

Luo Ting smiled and said: "Sit down, don't be nervous, I don't want to drink, otherwise I will definitely get drunk with you tonight. Let's replace the wine with tea. I will respect you for the people in Daliang who are suffering from the bitter cold."

"Thank you sir!"

Pei Yue didn't pretend to refuse or be self-effacing, and raised his teacup to take a sip.

Luo Ting likes his performance very much, or to some extent, the two people's personalities are somewhat similar.

Last year at the court meeting, Pei Yue resolutely refused to acquit Pei Rong, and resolutely exiled himself from the Pei family. Those evil deeds are really stupid, but they didn't cause too much trouble.

Of course, for the vast majority of civil servants, Pei Yue is still an unapproachable and arrogant martial artist, but Luo Ting appreciates the true temperament behind this arrogance.Later, when Fang Xun and Sun Dacheng wanted to seize the briquette business, Luo Ting stepped forward and even resigned as a price. Even if it was because of his own integrity, who would dare to say that it had nothing to do with Pei Yue's performance? ?

At the beginning of the drizzle in Kyoto, Mo Moyun said in the letter: "Follow the way but not the king, follow the righteousness but not the father, this is called the great conduct of a man."

Later, Pei Yue angrily reprimanded Pei Rong, and Luo Ting directly remonstrated with the emperor, and unexpectedly interpreted the two identities in this sentence appropriately, which can be said to have been preordained in the dark.

Luo Ting said warmly: "Peace of the world is naturally a lofty ambition, but it is extremely difficult to achieve this."

Pei Yue said solemnly: "Next year, I will ask His Majesty for instructions to join the army and contribute my modest strength to Daliang."

Luo Ting asked: "To the south?"

"Yes."

"Gu Liang is over there, it is indeed more suitable for you to display your talents."

"Does your lord think this is inappropriate?"

Looking at Pei Yue's sincerely seeking knowledge, Luo Ting thought of the young man's past performance, as well as his sincerity and amazement tonight, and couldn't help saying with some regret: "If possible, I hope you can work in the sixth department, after all, you are just a viscount , not to mention breaking the rules. If I come forward to change things, neither Your Majesty nor Jun Xinggong will object. Pei Yue, although you are still young, you have a good method of doing things, and you are more suitable to work hard in the direction of a generation of famous officials."

With Luo Ting's status, it is very rare to say these words, at least for now he does not regard Pei Yue as an ignorant junior, but as a talented person who can talk on an equal footing.

At this moment, Pei Yue hesitated, but after thinking for a while, he said awkwardly: "My lord, joining the army is more suitable for me."

"Why?"

"Because I don't like to read those subsets of classics and history, and I can't write those beautiful articles."

Luo Ting was slightly taken aback, and then smiled heartily: "Forget it, I don't make things difficult for you. You don't have to worry about the briquettes. When a suitable opportunity arises, I will make your wish come true."

Pei Yue finally showed a smile of joy from the heart.

Luo Ting raised his hand and nodded at him: "You deliberately showed weakness and allowed those people to frame Xiangyun Company. Apart from the reasons you said before, the most important thing is to dig a hole for the people of Qibao Pavilion? I don’t know where these deep strategies come from.”

Pei Yue scratched his head and asked in a puzzled way: "My lord, what is the origin of Qibao Pavilion? I really can't figure it out. No matter how powerful it is, it is just a merchant. How can it hook up so many important ministers in the court? From now Judging from the evidence, a high official like Hubu Shangshu is actually not as good as the master behind the Qibao Pavilion."

Luo Ting's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The current owner of Qibao Pavilion is Xu Song, a young man with mediocre qualifications. After his sister married Liu Xian, this person became the actual controller of Qibao Pavilion."

The name Liu Xian sounded familiar, Pei Yue suddenly raised his head after pondering for a moment, and said in surprise, "The eldest prince Liu Xian?"

Luo Ting nodded.

Emperor Kaiping now has six princes under his knees, of which the queen is the second prince and the sixth prince. When the Ministry of Criminal Justice tried Li Zijun's case, Pei Yue had a brief confrontation with the sixth prince Liu Zhi.The eldest prince Liu Xian is born of Concubine Wu Gui. Although he is not the queen's direct son, his situation has always been very delicate because Emperor Kaiping has not established a heir.

It was rumored that Emperor Kaiping liked the eldest son Liu Xian very much, and he also loved Concubine Wu Gui very much, so he has not yet determined the position of the crown prince.Naturally, Pei Yue had also heard these rumors, but based on his observations of Emperor Kaiping, this statement should not be true. How could an emperor who aspires to unify the world favor noble concubines and want to break the ancestral rules of the eldest son succeeding to the throne?

However, after knowing the identity of the behind-the-scenes owner of the Qibao Pavilion, Pei Yue pondered over the name of the eldest prince, and Pei Yue couldn't be sure. After all, the emperor has always been the most complicated person from ancient times to the present.

Luo Ting said with deep eyes: "Don't worry about the matter of Qibao Pavilion. This pool is very deep, and even I won't get involved easily. As for Xu Song, he has no talent and no virtue. He used to rely on the power of the Tian family to make troubles. Teach him not to What kind of."

Pei Yue took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Luo Ting glanced at the dark night outside the window, and said with a smile: "You just need to keep the promotion of honeycomb briquettes in mind, consider every link properly, and do a practical thing for the people of Daliang, so that they can get rid of the bitter cold as soon as possible. This is a kind deed with immeasurable merit. As for the storm in the capital and the court, if I stand in your way, it won't hurt you at all."

His tone was very flat, but Pei Yue could hear the weight of this sentence.

Pei Yue got up and saluted, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Luo Ting raised his hands and pressed, and said gently: "Since you are determined to join the army, I will not stop you, but I know that you are very capable in general affairs. If there are strategies that benefit the country and the people in the future, you can no longer hide your clumsiness. Be sure to tell me in time."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "I wrote it down."

Luo Ting said with a smile: "Go back, as long as you follow the right path and don't violate your own heart and conscience, I won't let the wind and rain of court struggle blow on you."

"Yes, please rest early, sir."

Pei Yue bowed again, then picked up his baggage and walked out of the study.

Luo Ting thought quietly, recalling the long conversation tonight in his mind, a smile gradually appeared on his face, then he put away the map and the things Pei Yue sent, picked up a copy from the official department on the desk. The book that came, looked carefully, still in high spirits.

When Pei Yue returned to the Guangping Marquis Mansion, it was almost the same time, the mansion was completely quiet, and the night guard servants didn't even notice that someone sneaked in secretly.

When he came outside his room, he was about to open the door and go in when he stopped suddenly with a surprised expression on his face.

"Brother Pei?" A soft and tired voice sounded in the room.

Pei Yue heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voice, and opened the door to see that Gu Zhen was sitting outside, and beside him was a maid with a sleepy face.

"Sister Gu, who is this?" Pei Yue stood outside the door, not daring to step inside.

Gu Zhen got up and came to him, glanced at the cold moonlight outside, and said softly: "I was worried that you would feel unwell after drinking, so I brought the servant girl to see, seeing that you are not in the room, I am afraid that the servants in the mansion will find out When you go out, stay here."

Seeing that she wasn't surprised by her sneaking out at all, Pei Yue was a little puzzled.

A look of concern flashed across Gu Zhen's eyes, she lowered her head slightly and said, "I know you have encountered some troubles recently, and your father and fourth brother are not in Beijing, so you must be trying to solve them. Brother Pei, I can't help you with outside matters I'm busy, but I hope you don't get too upset, there is always a solution."

Pei Yue was startled for a moment, then said after a while: "Sister Gu, I'm actually not..."

Obviously, after Gu Zhen found out that he was missing, she guessed that he came to Guangping Marquis Mansion to celebrate his birthday today just to hide his tracks and do some things that are not convenient for others to know at night.

Gu Zhen raised her head and smiled softly, and said softly: "It's nothing, I'm very happy that you can come to celebrate my birthday today. It's late at night, brother Pei rested earlier, and he has enough energy to fight those people. "

Pei Yue hurriedly stepped aside, looking at the backs of Gu Zhen and the servant girl walking away slowly, feeling a little lost.
