Invincible son

Chapter 225 224 [The Past of Yongning]
For the farmers of Lvliuzhuang, the luckiest thing in their life was that Taijun Pei transferred them to Pei Yue's name.

Now the most promising young people in Zhuangzi are Pei Yue's soldiers, they can receive a generous salary every month, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and Deng Zai and Wang Yong's treatment is very good.Apart from them, the rest of the men in the village were divided into two shifts, and they took turns to work on Shouyang Mountain, and they could also earn a lot of money.

When Pei Yue returned to the village, he received an extremely warm and sincere welcome. He was very peaceful to these households, and after chatting for a while, he asked Taohua to go door-to-door to inform them about the move.As the head of the family, in fact, he didn't need to be so kind at all. He ordered these households to obey, and it was nothing more than giving the little maid some face.

He and Ye Qi first came to the small courtyard next to the main house.

Obviously, Nanqin can't move into Zhongshanzi Mansion. Her situation is different from Ye Qi's, and Pei Yue will not make such a mistake.

Hearing the news of moving to the northern suburbs, Nanqin did not show any reluctance, and after sincerely thanking them, invited the two to sit down and have tea.

Pei Yue declined with a smile. For some reason, he always felt that this woman with outstanding piano skills was much lighter, and she was a little more energetic than the last time I met her.

Back in the main house, Ye Qi went back to his room to pack up his belongings, while Pei Yue went to the left wing to find Mr. Xi.

This year the village has always been very lively, Pei Yue rarely left before September, and learned various skills from Mr. Xi every day.As he went to the capital to handle business, the soldiers all followed him, and the place suddenly became deserted.For Mr. Xi, whether it is lively or quiet, life is equally peaceful, just like the days and nights of the past ten years.

Pei Yue found Mr. Xi in the study, the middle-aged man was splashing ink on the desk.

In the past years, Pei Yue has seen his accomplishments in martial arts, strategy and military formation, but this is the first time he has seen calligraphy.

He didn't make a sound to disturb, just stood quietly and watched.

Don't act rashly, don't demand, and don't act in vain.

These are nine big characters written by Mr. Xi on the snow-white paper.

From Pei Yue's point of view, the nine characters are divided into three lines, which are different from the current popular writing habits, arranged from left to right, not from top to bottom.The three lines of characters are all concentrated on the left, leaving a large space on the right, as if there is still more to say.

Mr. Xi walked aside, pointed to the blank space on the right and said, "Come and try to fill in the words behind this."

After pondering for a moment, Pei Yue readily picked up the brush on the pen holder and added more than ten characters without hesitation.

Mr. Xi said softly: "Don't act rashly, there must be a way when you move. If you don't demand too much, you must have righteousness. If you don't act in vain, you must have righteousness."

He nodded slightly, then smiled gently, and said to Pei Yue, "Sit down and talk."

After sitting down, Pei Yue said, "Sir, the matter in Kyoto has been settled."

Mr. Xi asked, "Is everything going well?"

Pei Yue replied: "Mostly it went well. But Mo Zhizheng found me after the court meeting, and asked me to bring a word to my husband."

"What?"

"After so many years, some things should be let go."

When Pei Yue said these words, he stared closely at the eyes of the middle-aged man.

Mr. Xi did not hesitate, shook his head with a smile and said, "Is there anything I can't let go of? It's others who can't let go."

Noticing Pei Yue's complex eyes and slightly tired face, he asked calmly, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Pei Yue let out a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, there are many things I can't understand."

"What's the matter?"

"For example, Mr. Shen, you and he were Duke Ding's right-hand men back then, so you should be familiar with him. Could you please tell me, Mr. Shen, what is this Mr. Shen thinking?"

"Tell me in detail."

"Why did he let Shen Danmo make friends with me? Why did he go to Dingguo Mansion to help Mr. escape on the night of the bandits' night attack? Why did he help us force Pei Rong to resign? Why did he use Li Zijun's case to bring down Li Bingzhong ? Why did he try to test me by protecting Pei Rong, and then he didn't care that Pei Rong was sent to Shanglin Prison? Why did he cover up the robbery in Qibao Pavilion, and he insisted on revealing it when I lifted the cover? Does he want to use Qibao Pavilion to drag King Lu into the water?"

Pei Yue was full of melancholy, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't Mo Moyun the emperor's most loyal and lonely minister? Why have I not seen his loyalty since I entered the court for a year, but instead saw so many inexplicable actions?"

After a moment of silence, Mr. Xi said with emotion: "It turns out that you have so many questions hidden in your heart, and you have been able to resist asking them all the time."

Pei Yue sighed: "Mo Zhizheng pointed out the doubts about my plan, which made me want to understand some things. Afterwards, I realized that Mo Moyun instructed Shen Danmo to send me a letter, maybe just to appease me, and let me not be so anxious to open it. The cover. It’s just that the letter was a bit late, and I was already in Miyagi when I received it.”

Mr. Xi pondered: "You have a lot of questions, you might as well think about it from another angle, since you decided to do something, has he ever hindered you?"

"No, on the contrary, most of the things he did are beneficial to me." Pei Yue replied frankly.

"When we analyze a person, we can't simply distinguish between good and bad, black and white, let alone judge whether he is loyal or not on the surface. Take the matter of Qibao Pavilion you mentioned, from your point of view, you may think that he wants to intensify This incident has affected King Lu. But from the emperor's point of view? Isn't this just covering up, looking for an opportunity to quietly goug out this cancer, so as not to implicate King Lu?"

Mr. Xi smiled slightly, and continued: "He asked his only daughter to befriend you, tested you many times, and even helped you solve Li Bingzhong's trouble, but it was actually just because of a guess."

For some reason, Pei Yue suddenly became a little nervous, and even his voice trembled slightly: "What guess?"

Mr. Xi turned his head and looked out the window, his tone was a little sad: "He suspects that you are the late emperor's posthumous son."

Pei Yue was startled and said, "But I'm not."

Mr. Xi sighed softly: "But he doesn't know."

Pei Yue felt a little pain in his head.For a long time, the question of who I am has been lingering in his mind, from the son of Ling Ping mentioned by Gu Liang at the beginning, to the suspicion later on, and after getting to know Ye Qi, the doubt was dispelled.But after more than half a year of research in the capital, he couldn't even find any information about Ling Ping and his wife, and he fell into confusion again.

He rubbed his swollen temples, and said sincerely: "Sir, I want to know how many things happened in the first year of Yongning."

Hearing the words "Yongning first year", Mr. Xi's eyes were filled with ice and snow.

At this moment, Pei Yue was even more convinced that there was an unknown story hidden in Mo Haoli's words after the court meeting.

Maybe it has something to do with his own life experience.
