Invincible son

Chapter 572 571 [Gu Fan]

At night, Kyoto.

Ruikangfang, outside the gate of Gu Fan's private residence.

A sound of horseshoes sounded from the end of the long street, and Pei Yue led more than a dozen personal soldiers on horseback.

Deng Zai and Wang Yong, who were waiting in front of the door, stepped forward and saluted, "Master."

Pei Yue glanced at the white lantern hanging in front of the door, and asked, "Is it properly installed?"

Deng Zai clasped his hands and said, "Young master, the main hall of the mansion has already set up a mourning hall. Wang Yong brought a set of coffins made of nanmu wood from Xicheng Jianchang Ji. In addition, the mansion has prepared a lot of ice."

Pei Yue was startled, and asked back: "Golden silk nanmu?"

According to the regulations of the girders, the coffins made of golden nanmu are used for the burial of the emperor's relatives, and the second-class huanghuali is used for the mansions of the powerful, and the pine and cypress or maple are used below.With the status of the Marquis of Guangping, Jinsinan can barely justify it, but it must be the rightful lord of the mansion. Naturally, an identity like Nanqin cannot be said in the open. This seemingly insignificant detail may become a caring person in the future. The flaw in the eye.

Deng Zai smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this is what Master Gu meant, and Wang Yong has no choice."

"Okay, I see, brother is in the mourning hall?"

"Yes."

Pei Yue came to the mourning hall with a calm face, only to see a huge funeral inscription facing him, Gu Fan sat cross-legged on the left side, with a brazier in front of him.

He kept throwing white paper money into the brazier, the green smoke curled up, and he was in a trance.

Pei Yue walked up to him and sat down, took a stack of paper money, and burned one after another.

"I went to your house just now, and I have comforted Auntie and Sister Zhen'er. Auntie asked me to tell you that the dead cannot be brought back to life, and you should think about the living. Miss Nanqin cannot enter the ancestral grave of the Gu family, but you You can help her choose a place with good geomantic omen, don't worry about spending money." Pei Yue said seriously.

Gu Fan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Pei Yue continued: "Ye Qi is back. After checking the Yuejiang Tower, we found many secret rooms and secret passages, but we didn't find the hidden secret works of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Taige caught a lot of secret works of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in Beijing. We killed more than 150 people outside, although it is not uprooting Nanzhou Xizuo, at least they will be seriously injured."

Gu Fan's haggard expression fluctuated slightly, and he turned his head to look at Pei Yue, his eyes full of inquiries.

Pei Yue knew what he wanted to ask, and replied: "Fang Yunhu's whereabouts are unknown, but this time he caused such a big trouble in the capital, Taishi Taige's face is disheartened, and he will definitely pursue him with all his strength."

Gu Fan has a dead air that frightens him.

He paused, and said with some guilt: "Brother, I failed to save Miss Nanqin and let Fang Yunhu escape, all because of my lack of thoughtfulness."

Gu Fan shook his head, threw all the remaining paper money into the brazier, then glanced at the coffin behind the white cloth, and said in a deep tone: "Brother Yue, after I bury Nanqin, I will go south to join the army."

Pei Yue was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

Gu Fan said with two points of self-deprecation: "When I was nine years old, my father asked me what my ambition was, and I said that I wanted to be the number one in the world. When I was 13 years old, my brothers were no match for me. I started traveling at the age of 14. In the rivers and lakes, I searched for reckless heroes, made a little reputation, and was complacent about it. Only now did I know that I have nothing to do with me today. The invincible opponents in the capital are all because of the military power in the hands of my father. It is because of your briquette business, if there is no help from these external forces, a Southern Zhou spy can play with me between applause."

Seeing him belittle himself so much, Pei Yue couldn't help persuading him: "Brother, these have nothing to do with you—"

Gu Fan raised his hand to interrupt him, and said sadly: "Don't comfort me. If I have one-tenth of what you can do, I won't fail to see Nanqin's secret, no matter what happens between me and her in the end. In the end, at least she doesn't have to die. Without your help this time, not only would I not be able to save Nanqin, but I don't know how many times I have died."

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "Brothers don't talk about this."

Gu Fan's expression softened slightly, and he said solemnly: "I will learn from my father and start as a pawn in the Southern Army incognito."

Pei Yue doesn't know whether he should oppose or support at this moment. In fact, Gu Fan's life is already the dream destiny of most people. His family background and appearance are so excellent, and he has outstanding martial arts talent. Even being a ranger all his life will not hinder him. .But his temperament is indeed lacking in tempering, and from some angles, he is very similar to Peicheng before he went to the western region.

If you want to sharpen, the military is naturally the best choice.

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Fan knew it well, and slowly said: "I am only 20 years old this year, and I still have enough time to become stronger. I will wait at the border for the day when the army goes south, and I will personally chop Fang Xie Xiao's head."

His tone turned cold and stern, and there was a deep light in his eyes.

Pei Yue let out a long sigh, raised his hand and patted Gu Fan's shoulder and said, "I'll go with you when the time comes."

Gu Fan's heart warmed up, and he said softly: "You have worked hard these days, I think you will have to go to the palace to answer tomorrow, go to rest earlier, and let me talk with her alone."

"it is good."

Pei Yue glanced at the coffin, his heart was full of thoughts, he turned and walked away slowly.

……

Kaiping six years, February 24th.

According to the system, today is the Chang Dynasty, and it should be held in the Hall of Liangyi, with the participation of officials above the fifth rank and censors at all levels.However, after Pei Yue returned to the Marquis of Zhongshan last night, the chief housekeeper, Deng Shi, reported that the inner eunuch of the palace had sent him a message, asking him to come to Chengtian Hall to attend the court meeting the next day.

In addition to the Zhengdan Dynasty, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, there will be a Great Dynasty Meeting in Chengtian Hall. Civil and military officials in Beijing with rank nine or above must attend without any reason, which is called the Shuowang Dynasty.

Pei Yue had only participated in the impromptu court once before, and that was three years ago, on October 29th in the third year of Kaiping.He personally sent Pei Rong to Shanglin Prison in that court meeting, so he was very impressed.

It's just that there is no major event in the capital now, and the arrest of Nan Zhou's fine work should not reach that level. Pei Yue can't figure out the reason why the emperor suddenly held a grand court.

At the first moment of Yinshi, Pei Yue got up from Lin Shuyue's plump and warm arms, then dressed neatly under her service, and changed into a royal court dress. After breakfast, he led dozens of soldiers to the imperial city.

The silver candles rise to the sky and the purple moss grows, and the Forbidden City is full of spring.

At the first moment of Maoshi, the gate of Chengtian Hall opened, civil servants and military officials filed in, and then stood still in their positions.

After half a stick of incense, the emperor's guard of honor arrived, and Emperor Kaiping sat on the dragon chair.

The inner supervisor shouted the announcement, and the officials shouted three times for long live.

After the etiquette, a civil official with a pale face stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a statement."

Emperor Kaiping looked at him meaningfully, nodded and said, "Speak."

"The minister wants to impeach Zhongshan Marquis Pei Yue, wantonly beat the court officials, lawless and domineering."
