Invincible son

Chapter 230 229 [Hang Feng]

Yongrenfang, Luofu.

In the study outside, Luo Ting looked at Pei Yue who was sitting upright, and joked with a gentle expression: "If you hadn't produced the briquettes, the family's expenses would have been even tighter, and there must be no way to prepare a decent gift to your house to congratulate you on your housewarming. The so-called drinking and pecking have a fixed number, in fact, you don't have to come here to return the gift."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "My lord, I specially asked Sihailou to prepare the banquet the day before yesterday, but it took a lot of effort, and you also know that his family's banquet is very popular. However, the housekeeper put down the gift and left without even a glass of water and wine." I refused to drink, so I had to come to the door to thank you."

Luo Ting waved his hand and said, "It's not a valuable gift, so don't be so solemn."

Pei Yue said seriously: "I will definitely remember the love of your lord."

Both of them actually understood that it didn't matter whether the gift was expensive or not, and Luo Ting's name card was the most important gift.With his status and reputation, taking the initiative to give a gift to a junior is actually forcing Pei Yue's status up a bit.The fact is also the same, after Luo Ting sent people to give gifts, some honorable mansions that had been waiting and watching immediately sent their children to congratulate them.

To some extent, Luo Ting's reputation in Beijing is stronger than that of Wang Pingzhang.

As for the military, it is another matter.

Luo Ting didn't want to continue talking about this matter, and said sternly: "Although I have seen your plan before, and I appreciate your meticulousness and seriousness, but this matter has a lot to do with people's livelihood, so I still have a few words to tell you. "

Pei Yue said: "Please advise, my lord."

Luo Ting pondered and said: "Since this matter is led by the imperial court, it cannot be carried out in the name of your firm, otherwise the rights and responsibilities will inevitably be unclear in the future. I have asked Your Majesty to establish a Charcoal Temple, which will be directly under the jurisdiction of the East Mansion. It is on the same level as the Nine Temples, imitating the old practice of the five armies under the jurisdiction of the West Prefecture. Officials from this temple are transferred from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry to assist you in building mines and laying channels in the northern states."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "My lord's move is very appropriate."

"It's just that although you have a title, you don't have an official position. It's obviously unfair to handle this matter. It's better for you to be the supervisor of Charcoal Temple first, and then resign after you are done. Even if the civil and military positions of the country have never interfered with each other, now It's just a matter of urgency, and it's not a big deal. Of course, if you want to keep doing it, I can ask His Majesty for orders."

"My lord, is this inappropriate?"

"Could it be that you have a better way?"

"There is a way."

"tell me the story."

"My lord can choose a mature and prudent person as the temple supervisor, and let him give orders at ordinary times."

"Following your instructions behind your back?"

Pei Yue didn't answer, showing a simple and honest smile.

Luo Ting had nothing to do with him. After several trials, seeing that he was so determined, he finally had to give up that idea, nodded and said: "Forget it, I will do as you say. Pei Yue, how to make briquettes, how to lay sales channels and even how to You are very good at building a well-run manpower team. What I want to remind you is that the state capital below is no better than Kyoto, and many people will not obey orders just because of your title. Use thunderous means."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm not a weak scholar who can't lift a knife." Pei Yue replied.

Luo Ting said solemnly: "Only when the knife is in your hand can it be deterrent. Once you cut it out, you can't turn back. You have to grasp the size yourself."

Pei Yue nodded in response.

The two discussed the details again. In fact, they have discussed it many times in the past few days. Luo Ting did not doubt Pei Yue's ability, but he was too young and had a title. He was worried that he would not be able to control himself after leaving Beijing. Added many twists and turns.

When it came to the critical point, the butler of Luo Mansion suddenly came in, stepped forward and said: "Master, the angel is here."

The Luo Mansion has received countless imperial edicts, so the housekeeper just spoke quickly and his face was not nervous.

Immediately, an inner eunuch walked into the main hall and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty ordered that Xuan Luo be in power to enter the palace to have an audience."

Luo Ting cupped his hands and replied: "I obey the order."

The eunuch's eyes were very sharp, and he saw Pei Yue's figure as soon as he entered the door, and smiled at this moment: "So Zhong Shanzi is also here, Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace with Luo Zhizheng, please."

Yongrenfang was far away from Miyagi, and the eunuch seemed very anxious, urging the carriage to speed up all the way, and it took a lot faster than usual to arrive at Miyagi.

After getting off the car and entering Miyagi, Pei Yue followed Luo Ting.

Luo Ting said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is probably reminding you a few words, don't be nervous, just deal with it normally."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Thank you sir, I know what to do."

When the two came to the side hall of Liangyi Hall, Emperor Kaiping did not review the memorial before the imperial case as usual, but stood by the west wall, looking at the map of the territory of Liangyi hanging on the wall.

Compared with the map that Pei Yue had seen in the Luo Mansion's study, the one in front of the emperor was much more detailed.

"Chen Luoting, see Your Majesty." Luo Ting stood in the hall, bowing to the back of Emperor Kaiping.

Pei Yue followed his movements and couldn't find any mistakes.

Emperor Kaiping turned around slowly, walked back to the imperial case and sat down, said indifferently: "Give the seat to Governor Luo."

An inner eunuch moved a low stool, put it beside Luo Ting, and then bowed away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Luo Ting's face was as usual, he had experienced similar occasions too many times, so naturally he didn't have to put on a grateful look, and didn't have to make the emperor look down on him.

Emperor Kaiping cleared his throat and began to ask Luo Ting some political issues.

Luo Ting speaks clearly and responds freely. No matter when, where and whoever, as long as it is related to the government affairs of Daliang, he is like a treasure, and he can quickly propose countermeasures without a single jam or pause.

This is a rare scene, especially for Pei Yue.

He had never seen such a conversation between a monarch and his ministers, and he gradually understood why the emperor obviously didn't like Luo Ting's temper, but still couldn't do without him, and instead promoted him to his current position step by step.Thinking of those censors who are equally upright but have been away for many years, such as Liu Zhen who has become a dead soul, Pei Yue has become more and more aware of the importance of improving his ability.

Time flew by, Pei Yue didn't show any impatience, he was almost fascinated by the sound, the slight discomfort at the beginning because he was standing has long since disappeared without a trace.

I don't know how long it took, the monarch and his ministers finally came to an end.

Emperor Kaiping picked up the white jade cup on the table, took a sip of the tea, turned his gaze to Pei Yue, looked at him for a moment and said, "Pei Yue."

"The minister is here."

"I have high hopes for you, and I need to do my best to go out of Beijing this time."

"The minister will not slack off."

"I ordered you to be the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, in charge of building mines and laying out sales channels."

"minister--"

Pei Yue raised his head abruptly, with a surprised expression on his face. At this moment, his action of looking directly at Emperor Kaiping was undoubtedly a bit bold, or rude.

The inner eunuch standing beside Emperor Kaiping frowned slightly.

Emperor Kaiping looked into the boy's eyes with great interest, but he was not angry.Although to him, Pei Yue's appearance, including his title, was just a pawn placed at random, but after the turmoil at the last court meeting, he suddenly felt that this pawn could be moved again, and it might involve many people. interesting story.

Luo Ting said lightly: "This is His Majesty's grace, what are you still doing?"

Pei Yue quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "You are a young martial artist promoted by me, and you will be of great use in the future. Naturally, you cannot be allowed to hang out in the ranks of civil servants, lest you waste your courage. The post of imperial envoy is just to facilitate your work. No one took care of you after you left Kyoto, so you still need some help to be brave in the wind and rain."

Luo Ting looked a little dignified.

Although Pei Yue was smart, this was his first direct contact with the emperor, and he was a little nervous. Naturally, his brain was not as fast as usual, and he couldn't figure out the deep meaning of these words for a while.

Emperor Kaiping did not embarrass him in terms of words, and said gently: "I want to set up another guard outside the imperial army, named Cangfeng, and I plan to lead it under your leadership. Imperial envoys must have sergeant guards when they travel, so it is not a violation of the rules. .”

A guard?Commander?
Pei Yue was completely stunned.

If he remembers correctly, there are more than 1 guards in the Daliang Army.

Did the emperor not wake up or did he take the wrong medicine?
Luo Ting could no longer remain silent. No matter what the emperor was thinking, this decision was too absurd. Once it was announced to the world, it would inevitably attract opposition from all the officials, and even those nobles who went to Pei Yue's mansion to congratulate him would jump their feet.

"Your Majesty, this move—"

However, Luo Ting was interrupted by Emperor Kaiping just as he opened his mouth. He said without a doubt: "Luo is in power, military and state affairs are by no means a trifle, how can I not know? I said let him lead, not now but in the future. Pei Yue, If this errand is done well, the position of commander of Zangfengwei will be reserved for you. If it is not done well, let alone the commander, your title will be taken back, do you hear me clearly?"

Pei Yue wanted to scold his mother in his heart, the emperor turned his face too fast, didn't he?

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than others, so he can only bow his head to respond.

Emperor Kaiping said again: "However, how can I take back what I said? You can go to the Beijing camp to select [-] soldiers and organize them into a capital. For the time being, you will be a guerrilla and go out of Beijing to do business with you."

This is a slap in the face for a jujube.

Pei Yue forcibly calmed down, not letting his expression change too much, and saluted: "The minister leads the order to thank you."

Emperor Kaiping nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Retire, and ask Luo Ting more about the details. Having him give you a few words is better than thinking hard in your heart for dozens of days."

"Yes."

Pei Yue followed Luo Ting to leave the Hall of Liangyi, and was blown by the cold wind outside, only to realize that his back was drenched in sweat.

Recalling the conversation just now, Pei Yue vaguely felt that the emperor seemed to know something, and many words seemed to have other meanings.

Luo Ting noticed his dignified face, and comforted him, "Don't worry, there is me in Beijing."

Pei Yue smiled gratefully, but couldn't relax in his heart.

He finally confirmed one thing, the emperor was really not an ordinary person.

In other words, being able to sit in that position is not a "person" in the ordinary sense.
