Invincible son

Chapter 534 Chapter 533

"The Pei family has been in that position for too long."

After a while, Emperor Kaiping suddenly uttered a seemingly unrelated sentence.

Both Luo Ting and Pei Yue were a little shocked, of course they could understand the subtext of this sentence.When mentioning the Pei family in Dingguo, people think of Pei Yuan, who beheaded the leader of the enemy in the chaos, and Pei Zhen, who led the Western Expedition to turn the situation around. Inherent impression.

In their view, at least half of the credit for Daliang's success today must be attributed to the Pei family.

No emperor could willingly endure this situation. If Pei Yuan could stand alive and stand in the court hall, Emperor Kaiping might temporarily endure it, but what is the current situation of the Pei family?How could he just watch a trash like Pei Rong enjoy such supreme glory?
Mo Moyun showed worry, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Pei family is different after all."

Emperor Kaiping looked at this special confidant who had been loyal to him for more than ten years and had never had any selfishness towards him. With an extremely rare expression of sincerity, he said slowly, "You think too much. If I wanted to deal with the Pei family, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." It will only put Pei Rong in jail, let alone release him in the name of amnesty for the world by winning in the western region."

Mo Moyun smiled wryly and said: "I dare not talk about your majesty, but if this is the case, then why bother..."

Emperor Kaiping looked at Pei Yue unkindly, and said in a cold voice: "Concubine Wu Gui has taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Pei family, and plans to let the eldest prince marry her as his concubine. After thinking about it, it might be a good idea. Wait for the woman After passing through the door, the Pei family can justifiably leave the military power, and no one can fault it. I will not treat the Pei family badly. Originally, I planned to seal the city of Pei as the first-class prince of Dingguo, and allow him to be hereditary. In addition, I will promote Pei Yun is a Ph.D. in Chinese studies of the Imperial Academy. In this way, the Pei family will have nothing to do with the military, but still enjoy the status and treatment of top honors, and in the future, the children of the family can also be officials like Pei Yun, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Pei Yue sighed softly in his heart.

The emperor's wishful thinking is not complicated. Pei Ning was sent to the palace on his own initiative by the Pei family and has nothing to do with him. Naturally, no one can secretly slander the king for being mean and ungrateful.Not only that, he also promoted the two Peicheng brothers to the rank of official rank, which can be described as extremely gracious.

Mo Moyun lowered his eyes and said softly: "It's also a way."

Emperor Kaiping snorted coldly and said, "Pei Yue, let me ask you, you hate the Pei family so much, why did you intervene in this matter? Could it be that you all pretended to deceive me in those things before?"

Hearing the words, Pei Yue raised his head blankly and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what this means."

"You don't understand? You really don't understand?" Emperor Kaiping didn't believe it.

Pei Yue shook his head, and said frankly: "I went to Pei's house to fight, in essence, it was just out of anger, and later I personally asked my eldest sister, and she said she didn't want to marry, so naturally I will solve this matter for her. "

As soon as this remark came out, not only Emperor Kaiping was puzzled, but even Luo Ting and Shen Moyun looked at him in surprise.

Facing the amazed eyes of the three people, Pei Yue was a little nervous at once. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he asked a little nervously, "What's wrong?"

"That's it?" Emperor Kaiping asked in disbelief.

Pei Yue nodded seriously.

Luo Ting and Mo Moyun looked at each other. Although the two hadn't met much before, they had a tacit understanding at the moment.From their point of view, Pei Yue's behavior was both unexpected and reasonable.

But in the mind of Emperor Kaiping, who was sitting on the dragon chair, women's marriage was just a trivial matter. When should their own opinions be respected?What's more, is Princess Lu's shameful identity?

The atmosphere in the hall seemed very dull, even a bit weird. Pei Yue gradually understood, and explained sincerely: "Your Majesty, I can't bear to look back on my past. After 13 years in Dingguo Mansion, I was loathed by Pei Rong for no reason. Relying on the righteousness of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Li tortured and humiliated his ministers in every possible way, and even acquiesced in his mother-in-law's cruelty and beating. In the winter of the ninth year of Renxuan, the mother-in-law sent by Li's family forced the ministers to kneel in the snow, Wearing only single clothes on his body, he was constantly beaten with thorns. If the elder sister hadn't rushed in to rescue him, I would have almost died in the ice and snow."

This is the first time he has talked about his experience in front of outsiders.

The three people in the hall knew that Pei Yue was in a difficult situation when he was in Pei's house, but these details were not clear. Hearing Pei Yue's eloquence now, even Emperor Kaiping put down his hesitation for the time being.

Pei Yue took a deep breath, and did not deliberately hide his emotions. A slightly cold voice echoed in the imperial study: "Since then, the elder sister has often helped me, secretly giving me food and clothing, and often in front of Mrs. Tai. Looking for an opportunity to talk about me, this made Mrs. Li calm down. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, the elder sister's actions can't help me out of the sea of ​​suffering, but can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. But these people never thought that for me at the time, Eldest sister is the only light in the endless darkness, even though this light is very weak, it gave me the hope of living."

The suspicion in Emperor Kaiping's eyes gradually faded, and the expression on his face returned to calm.

Luo Ting sighed: "Your eldest sister is a kind person, a poisonous woman like Li's is not worthy of being her mother."

Pei Yue faced Emperor Kaiping, bowed and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I know my identity, and I will not hold grudges against His Royal Highness King Lu because of what happened before. The truth of the matter is that my eldest sister is unwilling to leave the cabinet, so I will Do your best to fulfill her wish."

In fact, Emperor Kaiping did not intend to continue to target the Pei family. Concubine Wu Guifei mentioned this matter, and the Pei family agreed.Pei Yue's attitude was so resolute, and he had to deal with it so fiercely, he just felt a little offended on the face, but he didn't hate Pei Yue because of it, otherwise there wouldn't be the previous scolding.

He said slowly: "Pingshen."

Looking at the calm and firm expression on Pei Yue's handsome face, Emperor Kaiping raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked: "What if I must give Pei's daughter to the First Prince?"

Pei Yue didn't say a word, his eyes were stubborn.

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Kaiping couldn't help laughing and cursing: "What a stubborn donkey who doesn't know what to do!"

Luo Ting's heart widened, but his face was still serious. He turned his head to stare at Pei Yue and said, "Marquis Zhongshan, how can you be presumptuous in front of His Majesty? You respect your elder sister very much because of the favors you have received over the years, but don't forget, you Today is all because of His Majesty's appreciation. If it weren't for His Majesty's attention, where would you have the opportunity to shine in the Western Region?"

Pei Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, and said a little dissatisfied: "Master Luo, when have I forgotten His Majesty's grace?"

Emperor Kaiping stared and said: "Okay, there are more and more rules."

Having said that, for the first time a faint smile appeared on his cold face.
