Invincible son

Chapter 493 492 [Emperor's Heart Technique]

Liangyi Hall, in the imperial study room of the side hall.

Pei Yue came here calmly all the way, glanced calmly at Emperor Kaiping who was leaning on the couch, bowed and said: "See Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping waved his hand and said, "Pingshen."

Then he said to the eunuch standing respectfully beside him, "Give me a seat for the Marquis of Zhongshan."

Although the inner prison moved only a round stool, this is already the extremely high treatment that a minister can enjoy. Looking at the court officials, the only courtiers who can have a seat in the imperial study for a long time are Mo Haoli, Wang Pingzhang, and the imperial court. The doctor Huang Rentai is just a handful of people.

Pei Yue has never been an official before, and he is not very clear about many rules, but he also knows that such courtesy is rare.

His thoughts turned, and then he showed a touch of gratitude just right, and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, I can just stand."

Emperor Kaiping smiled lightly, and said gently: "The great victory in the western region is all thanks to you. I know this well, so you don't have to be humble, just sit down."

Hearing this, Pei Yue sat down with his spine straight.

The inner eunuchs and palace people next to him looked at their eyes, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and palace people. They seemed to have nothing unusual, but each of them was very surprised.They served the emperor around, and they knew this person's temperament better. Even when Mo Haoli or Wang Pingzhang appeared here to discuss state affairs, Emperor Kaiping was rarely so approachable.

The majesty of the Tian family lies in the rules, in the strict hierarchy of every word and deed, so as to deter those heroes who are extremely human officials.

These palace people have almost never seen such an easy-going posture with a smile on the couch like Emperor Kaiping at this moment.

Pei Yue was not sensitive to this, but he also knew that the emperor treated him better.

Emperor Kaiping looked at his young but calm face, and asked with a smile, "Which one is stronger, Xie Lin or Zhang Qingbai?"

Of course, Pei Yue understood that the emperor asked him to ask some details about the war in the western region, so he was not surprised, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Both are very strong, and Xie Lin has a good overall view, even on the northern front When the battle is extremely tense, he can help Zhang Qingbai, and at the same time keep an eye on the defenders of Hucheng. Zhang Qingbai has a strong grasp of opportunities, and is also very good at commanding in battle. I have the impression that he is decisive in killing and attacking. But they have a The common weakness is that they are too confident.”

Emperor Kaiping nodded and said: "It's no wonder they are. Zhang Qingbai defeated your grandfather back then, and Xie Lin became a general from a servant. They are all extremely proud figures."

Pei Yue sneered in his heart, this person knew so much about the situation in Xiwu, how could he still not know what was going on in the other side's country?Gathering and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops is not a child's play. How could Emperor Kaiping have to wait until the frontier army asked for help to get the news, and coupled with the immobility of the Hucheng defenders, Mo Moyun's inferences at the beginning have all been verified.

Of course, his face was still calm and he couldn't see any emotion.

Emperor Kaiping said again: "If Daliang goes out with heavy troops, how sure do you think you are of taking the Gaoyang Plain?"

Pei Yue was startled, and said in a dazed way: "Your Majesty, I'm just a small commander, how dare you speak nonsense on such a military matter?"

From the moment the Emperor Kaiping changed the Yuan Dynasty five years ago, all the important officials in the court and the central government had been mentally prepared, knowing that a protracted and costly national war was inevitable.Since the seventh year of Zhongzong Jianping, Daliang's national power has firmly occupied the top position of the three dynasties. Now it has been thirty years, and the money in the treasury has become more and more abundant. Everyone knows that a big battle will come soon.

If Western Wu hadn't suddenly provoked this national war, which seriously affected Emperor Kaiping's plan, Gu Liang might have already been rectifying the army at this time, and the troops were heading straight to the counties and counties in the north of Zhou.

Even so, the emperor's thoughts remained firm.

Facing Pei Yue's cautiousness, Emperor Kaiping said gently: "Tell me what you think, I won't blame you."

Pei Yue knew that he couldn't escape, and the other party was obviously not someone who could be fooled at will, so he calmly pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the main force of the Western Wu cavalry has not been damaged."

Although it was just a simple sentence, Emperor Kaiping already understood his point of view.

The victory in this battle in the western region was not only due to Pei Yue alone, but also related to Daliang's barracks and barracks system, and defending was far easier than attacking.If the battlefield is transferred to the Gaoyang Plain in Yimapingchuan, Daliang will not have the ability to attack at all in the face of the remaining Western Wu cavalry.

Emperor Kaiping sighed in a complex tone, realizing that the basic national policy of Zhou and Wu could not be changed, but it was a pity that Lu Min's death caused his previous layout to collapse, and it would take a little time to restore the stability of the court.

Although he is only 40 years old this year, he feels more and more that time is passing fast.

Glancing at the young Pei Yue, the emperor's mind was full of thoughts, and he said calmly, "Do you know why I will make you a second-class prince this time?"

It is difficult to answer this question, and it is even more impossible to answer it in silence. Pei Yue carefully considered: "Your Majesty wants me to train more Tibetan front guards."

The answer seemed irrelevant, and Emperor Kaiping did not approve or refute it, but said indifferently: "In fact, based on your achievements, it is not an exaggeration to confer you a first-class prince, but you are still too much." Being young, it is not a good thing to touch that threshold early. Of course I can tolerate you, but after a hundred years, how will the new king treat a full-fledged military official who is even younger than himself?"

Pei Yue subconsciously met Emperor Kaiping's eyes.

His eyes are slender and deep, like a bottomless pool of water.

The reason why Pei Yue showed such a gaffe was partly because he pretended to be moved, and partly because he was too shocked.

If he hadn't been a man in two lifetimes with rich experience, if he hadn't been surrounded by people like Gu Liang and Mr. Xi in the past few years, if he hadn't heard Pei Zhen tell those bloody past events, if he hadn't learned about the Western Territory from Mo Moyun. The truth of the battle, I am afraid that at this moment, he is already grateful and loyal to Emperor Kaiping.

From the moment he entered this imperial study, the emperor used a gentle attitude and details such as bestowing a seat to draw the young courtier's heart step by step. The last words can be said to fully reveal his importance and magnanimity.

For any young man who has not been deeply involved in the world and has been poisoned by the idea of ​​​​loyalty to the emperor, facing the emperor's sincere and appreciative attitude, there is no second possibility except to give up his heart.

It's just that Pei Yue and Emperor Kaiping imagined it differently.

Of course, there was no difference between him and those young people on the surface, and he quickly got up and saluted: "Your Majesty loves me so much, I will die for Liang. Your Majesty, since I was a child, my father has not pitied my aunt and my mother. Because of some insignificant things The matter was lucky enough to catch His Majesty's eyes, I never thought that I would be in such a situation today, I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Emperor Kaiping looked at him with satisfaction, raised his hand and pressed down: "Sit down, there are only you and my monarch and minister here, don't be so excited."

He paused, and said meaningfully: "Dedicate yourself to death, these eight words are well said."

Pei Yue said with a little embarrassment: "I forgot when and where I heard it, but apart from these eight words, I really don't know how to express my thoughts."

"It's good that you can think like this." Emperor Kaiping smiled slightly, and asked slowly: "What do you think about your next military post transfer?"
