Invincible son

Chapter 471 Chapter 470

"After the Chu government's treason case, my grandfather was hit hard, and he was getting old, so he gradually started to retire. From then on, he didn't allow me to continue to seek promotion in the army, because the Tian family's thoughts had already changed. It is very clear that the influence of the Pei family in the army must be gradually cleaned up after all."

Pei Zhen finished speaking calmly, but Pei Yue saw a heavy look of tiredness in his eyes.

Thinking of his nominal father, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "You did the same to Pei Rong, but it's a pity that he doesn't have your tenacious will."

"Son, I'm responsible for this matter. Sidao told me what happened to you in the past few years. After all, it's the Pei family who failed you."

After Pei Zhen said this, she got up and bowed to Pei Yue.

Pei Yue was taken aback and quickly got up to avoid it, as did Ye Qi next to him.

In any case, it was Pei Zhen who rescued him and did not let him die in that bloody night in Kyoto.Although he hated Mrs. Pei Rong and Li deeply, he couldn't speak of hatred towards the old man in front of him. Coupled with the fact that the status of the other party was completely different, it was difficult for him to accept this gift with peace of mind.

Pei Zhen straightened up, waved her hands and said, "Sit down, don't be nervous, and listen to me to finish the rest of the matter."

Everyone took their seats again, and the middle-aged man sitting in the corner came over to refill a round of tea.

Pei Zhen said indifferently: "Zhongzong made great efforts to govern, diligently governed and loved the people. In fact, from the perspective of the people of Daliang, he was considered a good emperor. Perhaps because of this reason, the anger in my grandfather's heart gradually dissipated, and he no longer held me in At home. In the 20th year of Jianping, when my grandfather passed away, Zhongzong was very sad, and he also made me a second-class prince, which actually exceeded the standard of the imperial court. At the same time, he also asked me to control the third battalion of the Beijing Army, Let me assist the second prince Liu Xuan who was just established as the crown prince at that time."

"The crown prince who has only been on the throne for one year, no wonder he can't control the government alone after he ascended the throne." Pei Yue said coldly.

Pei Zhen sighed and said: "Liu Xuan and Liu Zheng are both born of the queen. The former is generous and gentle, while the latter is calm and introverted, with no distinction in ability. They also have a group of important officials in the court to support each. Zhongzong used 20 Weakening the power of Wu Xun in 21 finally succeeded. He hoped that his successor could appease the officials, so he chose Liu Xuan. In the [-]st year of Jianping, Emperor Zhongzong died and Liu Xuan succeeded to the throne. That is, in that year, both Western Wu and Southern Zhou were on the border Start a war."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "I heard from my master that the late emperor had to send Marquis Guangping and Marquis Cheng An to go south, and at the same time let Xiao Jin's father come to the west."

Pei Zhen's expression suddenly became a little serious, and she said slowly: "I have always suspected this matter, it is too weird. Judging from the battle reports afterwards, these two places are full of thunder and rain, and it seems that they will develop into a decision. In the great battle of the national fortune, they are actually very restrained, and they only use the deployment of troops to form a deterrent."

Pei Yue was startled, and asked with surprise on his face: "You mean to say that Liu Zheng did these things?"

Pei Zhen sighed softly.

Mr. Xi took over the topic and said: "We really suspected that, but we didn't find any evidence. Moreover, Emperor Liang colluded with Western Wu and Nanzhou. No one would believe it. It can only be regarded as an unsolved case. But if we infer from the result Gu Liang and Lu Min were loyal to the late emperor. As long as they were in the capital and the Duke of the State was in charge of the center, those young people would have no chance. Ascension to the throne solves the greatest worries."

Pei Yuehan said in a cold voice: "Wang Pingzhang!"

Pei Zhen looked at him with a gratified expression, and reminded: "Don't underestimate Wang Pingzhang. On the surface, Lu Min avenged that girl of the Chen family in this battle in the western region. Perhaps Mo Yun told you that this was Liu Zheng's killing three birds with one stone." It's a trick, but that old guy must have hidden his hand."

Pei Yue froze: "Could it be his conspiracy?"

Pei Zhen said noncommittally: "I have been fighting with him for decades, and I know his style very well. He and Lu Min are not in the same line. If he wants to continue to control the military power, Lu Min is the opponent he must get rid of. He After working in the army for so many years, the roots are so deep that even Liu Zheng can't find out. Do you think he really doesn't know the relationship between Lu Min and the descendants of the Chen family? Do you think he can't find out the purpose of Lu Min leading the western expedition? Liu Zheng thought If he wants to kill three birds with one stone, he is just pushing the boat with the current, otherwise why would he send his precious grandson to the west?"

This is also something that Pei Yue has been unable to understand.

Wang Jiuxuan's appearance was too abrupt, and his qualifications were not enough to shoulder such heavy responsibilities, but he was allowed to share a piece of the action. Now it seems that it is a tacit cooperation between Emperor Kaiping and Wang Pingzhang.

Pei Zhen said indifferently: "After Liu Xuan passed away, the war in the Western Territory suddenly broke out. Liu Zheng hinted at me several times. At that time, I knew that he could no longer tolerate me. After all, Rong Er did not perform well enough. As long as I leave the capital, he can take advantage of me. Wang Pingzhang completely dismantled Duke Kai's power in the army, and since then he has achieved a delicate balance."

"What balance?" Pei Yue asked.

"After all, Wang Pingzhang is a new martial artist, not as deep-rooted as those of us old giants. Liu Zheng uses him to control the military power, and it will not be too big to lose in a short time. No matter how bad it is, he can also divide the princes of the country, such as Lu Min and Gu. Liang is promoted, he just needs to grasp the balance." Pei Zhen replied.

Pei Yue said with a complicated expression: "So you must die."

Pei Zhen smiled, and said calmly: "It's just that Liu Zheng didn't expect my fate to be so hard and my luck to be so good. Not only did I not die at the hands of the people of Western Wu, but I also captured the Tiger City. It can be said that I am riding a tiger."

Although he said it very funny, Pei Yue was a little sad.

Pei Zhen was successful at a young age, and then was forcibly suppressed by her most beloved grandfather for nearly 20 years. She led the army in the year when she knew her destiny, and she never thought about personal grievances at all.He not only wants to display his ambitions, but also wants to create a stable life for the people of Lingzhou and even Daliang for ten years.

In comparison, Lu Min seemed like a clown.

This is what happened back then, people from back then.

At this point, he finally understood why Pei Zhen wanted to feign death to escape.

With the prestige of the Pei family in the army and the contribution made by Pei Zhenli, if he returns to the capital with such a big victory, Liu Zheng will probably have trouble sleeping and eating.He is already in a bad position, and he is good at insidious means, so he is almost sure to cause turmoil in the whole country.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue looked at the kind old man and asked curiously: "Does the emperor know that you are still alive?"

Pei Zhen smiled lightly, a childlike complacency appeared on her old face, and she asked, "Do you think this matter is important?"

Pei Yue scratched his head, realized that he had asked a very stupid question, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Ye Qi in embarrassment.

Ye Qi smiled gently and winked at him.
