Invincible son

Chapter 491 490 [Huanghuang Avenue]

Daliang's martial arts relatives have never been an intimate whole.

In the 40 years before Zhongzong succeeded to the throne, the founding princes firmly controlled the power in the army. Dingguo Gong Pei Yuan and Chengguo Gongluquan were two big mountains. Emperor Taizong controlled the power by checking and balancing the strength between them. North Korea Bureau.After Taizong's death, during the first ten years of Zhongzong's succession to the throne, Pei Yuan was in sole control of the military, but his strength was greatly weakened due to the conspiracy of the Xian family in the state of Chu.

That is to say, from that time on, the Young and Zhuang faction represented by Wang Pingzhang and Lu Min began to grow and gradually became the new martial arts class.

There is bound to be a collision between the old and the new dignitaries, and this is also the main theme of the court during the ten years after Zhongzong's reign.After Pei Yuan and Zhongzong passed away one after another, Pei Zhen, the representative of the founding of the country, and Wang Pingzhang, the representative of the rising powers, fought against each other.

When Pei Zhen passed away in the Western Territory, Wang Pingzhang, who possessed the power of Conglong, became No. 1 in the military without hesitation.

Since then, no one in the army has dared to openly challenge Wang Pingzhang's authority, even Lu Min can only resort to insinuating methods.

No one would have thought that Pei Yue was just a viscount, and he dared to denounce the only duke of the state in public.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Pei Yue, and the expressions of the civil servants were shocked, but anger appeared on the faces of some Wu Xun headed by Guo Kaishan and Li Bingzhong. It was obvious that they were all supporters of Wang Pingzhang.

Emperor Kaiping, who was sitting on the dragon chair, watched this scene with great interest, and Pei Yue's performance made him very satisfied.After Lu Min committed suicide, the means used to check and balance Wang Pingzhang were not enough, which is why he sent someone to the southern border to summon Gu Liang back years ago.

What he didn't expect was that Pei Yue could overwhelm Wang Pingzhang in terms of momentum, so the balance in his heart kept tilting.

This knife is indeed very sharp, and Emperor Kaiping is not worried that he will get out of his control.

At this moment, the most embarrassing person in the hall is none other than Wang Pingzhang.

The Wei Guogong, who has been up and down for 40 years, has cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Just after you killed Ning Zhong, Master Shen of Taishitai Pavilion appeared in Guping Military City with an imperial edict. Even if your Zangfengwei cannot enter the camp, you can Just wait for a while, and His Majesty will seize the military power of Lu Min and Ning Zhong."

Wang Pingzhang gradually calmed down, turned around and stared at Pei Yue and said, "You used Taige's spies to open the city gate, killed Ning Zhong aggressively, drove Lu Min to a corner, and almost caused a civil war in the army. Your impulsiveness and ignorance. You said that Lu Min and Ning Zhong killed tens of thousands of troops, so what did you do in the Guping Camp that day, how was it different from them? Your Majesty did not directly arrest you for the sake of your meritorious service. Going to prison doesn't mean you're innocent in this matter!"

Pei Yue looked at Wang Pingzhang fearlessly, and said word by word: "Let alone Wuweihou Ningzhong, who stood on the wall of Guping Daying that day, even if it was you Wei Guogong, I would still kill him!"

The ministers were in an uproar.

Some of Wu Xun's expressions changed drastically, and immediately someone stood up and wanted to angrily reprimand the young viscount who didn't know what to do.

"Pei Yue!"

Emperor Kaiping's voice sounded at the right time, shocking the warriors who were on the verge of going berserk.

However, the emperor's next words made them only feel surprised and angry.

"How can you be so rude to Wei Guogong and not apologize?" Emperor Kaiping said calmly, no strange emotions could be seen on his face.

The emperor's behavior of pulling sideways is so obvious, who can't see the wily ministers in the court?On the one hand, they lamented that Wei Guogong's face was finally stepped on once, and on the other hand, they were shocked by the emperor's regard for Pei Yue.Otherwise, any young official who uttered such a blunt threat to Wang Pingzhang, not to mention beheading and questioning, would at least be resigned from office.

Pei Yue turned around and saluted Emperor Kaiping, and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to teach Lord Junji a lesson. Although I made some meager contributions in the battle of the western border, I am not so arrogant. After a period of time, thinking of those comrades who didn't have to die in battle, I felt resentment in my heart."

He spoke very frankly, but Emperor Kaiping liked his ministers to be so frank.

The emperor glanced at the ugly Wang Pingzhang, held back the joy and smile in his chest, and said lightly: "You still want to teach Wei Guogong a lesson? He has worked hard for Daliang for decades, and his credit is ten times better than yours. He is really young and frivolous. Forget it, I know that you were a rough boy, and Gu Liang didn't know how to teach you how to behave properly, so he didn't cure you of the crime of roaring at the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Yue replied respectfully.

Emperor Kaiping continued: "Since you are standing here, you should tell the truth about the grievances in the battle of the Western Region, and you should not play around with your temper. Now you are a martial artist of the country, not a tired and lazy child. Do you understand?"

"The minister obeys the order."

A look of gratitude appeared on Pei Yue's face, his eyes were fixed, and his voice was loud.

"In mid-July of last year, Zhang Qingbai of the Western Wu Army attacked the southern military camp. Hou Ningzhong of Wuwei did not send a single soldier, but sat and watched the enemy attack the four military camps including Daokou one after another. As the commander of the Guping Camp, Ning Zhong led an army of [-] to hide in the rear, allowing those soldiers to die tragically in the hands of the enemy. At that time, the minister had only [-] cavalry in his hands, and he desperately defeated the Wu army who besieged Jiming Village. Chang Guorong. Then I went to Ning Zhong and asked him to send troops to support Jiming Village, because that is the core of the entire Southern Front Army Village system and must not fall into the hands of Wu Jun."

Speaking of this, Pei Yue turned to look at Wang Pingzhang, gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Guogong, do you know why Ning Zhong is willing to send troops? He said to me, if I give him the credit for saving the siege of Jiming Village, he will Send troops immediately."

Luo Ting, who was in charge on the right, said slowly: "But that's not what you said in the memorial you sent back to the capital."

Pei Yue laughed at himself and said: "Although Ning Zhong is shameless, he is not an idiot. If he hadn't seen the memorial I wrote with his name written on it, how would he be willing to send troops? I really want to ask you guys, as the commander of the Guping Camp, he actually asked me to use military exploits in exchange for protecting his own defense zone, should such a person deserve to die?"

The hall was silent and no one answered.

Wang Pingzhang's face sank like water.

Pei Yue didn't think that someone would answer his question, he said in a deep voice: "Of course, I'm not the arrogant idiot in Wei Guogong's eyes, if it's just like this, I won't risk ruining my own future and kill him directly." Instead, after the war is over, I will return to the capital and report all the truth to His Majesty in detail."

Until now, Wang Pingzhang finally had some regrets.

It wasn't that he regretted suppressing Pei Yue, but that he realized that he shouldn't stand up.

It's just too late.
