Invincible son

Chapter 608 Chapter 607 [Heaven and Earth are inhumane]

For Lu Min's death, the imperial court concluded that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

The crime was not collaborating with the enemy and treason, but the failure of the battle and improper command, resulting in the death of more than [-] soldiers of the Guping Army and the Beijing Army's Northern Battalion. As for the detailed process and the truth of the incident, no one mentioned it. They all kept silent.

The emperor showed a certain degree of tolerance in this matter, he only pursued Lu Min's title and the plaque of the Chengguo Mansion, and had no other means of punishment, not to mention ransacking his family and exterminating his family, even Lu Min's wife and children were not affected.Some civil officials immediately boasted, as if Emperor Kaiping was a benevolent and gentle emperor.

If it weren't for this, Lu Jiang would not have the freedom to walk in the capital at all, let alone hook up with dozens of desperadoes, trying to cause a bloody disaster on Pei Yue's big day when he was concubine.

Qi Min and Yang Hu took turns personally leading people to watch Lu Jiang, and then handed over the matter to Fu Hongzhi under Pei Yue's signal.

Fu Hongzhi is very talented and is very good at tracking and tracing. He can accurately judge the enemy's movements even on the unpredictable battlefield, let alone staring at dozens of mobs.According to Pei Yue's instruction of catching thieves and stealing stolen goods, he didn't act rashly to startle the snakes. He waited until this morning when Lu Jiang gathered his men into a house before preparing to do anything.

However, it was only the effort of front and rear feet. When Fu Hongzhi rushed in with his men, the enemy who was supposed to be a turtle in the urn disappeared strangely.

Fu Hongzhi was extremely remorseful, he shouldn't have waited for such a short time at all, and at the same time he was filled with guilt, because this accident is very likely to affect today's major events.

Pei Yue asked in a deep voice, "Is there a secret passage in that house?"

Fu Hongzhi nodded and said, "There are three places, but the entrances are all sealed."

Pei Yue stared in thought, calmly thinking about the conspiracy behind this accident.

This matter was definitely not done by Li Bingzhong. Judging from the leaks in Fengcheng Marquis Mansion, he was absolutely incapable of detecting Fu Hongzhi's traces.Lu Jiangcheng's mansion is superficial, and his mind is only thinking of murder and revenge, so he definitely would not have made such cunning preparations early on.Undoubtedly, this was someone's secret action. Not only did they help Lu Jiang escape, but there must also be a conspiracy behind it.

Although Pei Yue has many enemies, Li Bingzhong and Lu Jiang are the only ones who have really reached the level of life and death. Others, including Wang Pingzhang, will not adopt the method of burning jade and stone together. Design traps.

Li Bingzhong instigated some of the courtiers to impeach Pei Yue, which was the most serious method of court struggle, and it was impossible for Pei Yue to go to Fengcheng Hou's mansion and kill him because of this.On the contrary, it was Lu Jiang who acted too much, and Pei Yue took the lead in order to protect himself, and eventually he could make sense.

But the problem is that this reckless and stupid dude has disappeared.

Wang Yong said worriedly: "Young master, can the ceremony of welcoming the bride-"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "No need."

Wang Yong kept silent.

Pei Yue looked at Fu Hongzhi who was still kneeling on one knee with a face full of guilt, and said softly, "Get up. This time, it's obvious that a master made the move. It's not your responsibility to calculate with your heart or not."

Fu Hongzhi stood up and replied, "Master Hou, what should we do next?"

Pei Yue said indifferently: "As soon as the etiquette is held normally, there is no need to worry."

"Yes!"

……

Imperial City, Liangyi Hall, Xinuan Pavilion.

Emperor Kaiping leaned on the couch, holding an ancient scroll in his right hand, and said casually: "That matter was done well."

In the pavilion, apart from the palace servants holding their breath and concentrating, there is also a minister with a calm expression.He was sitting on a round stool. Although this did not seem to fit Zuo Lingchen's status in the Taishitai Pavilion, it was a great favor to have a seat in front of the emperor.

Shen Mo Yun replied: "It is the duty of a subject to share worries for His Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping looked up at him, put the ancient scroll on the low table, and said in a deep voice: "Those sons under your command died for the country with their own lives, and their funeral affairs must be handled properly, and the compensation money can't be let the handlers be greedy for ink. .”

Mo Moyun saw the word "Lunshu" on the cover of the book, his heart moved slightly, and then he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, even if you don't let Fang Yunhu go back, Daliang can still declare war on Southern Zhou."

Emperor Kaiping sat up and said leisurely: "I know that you can't bear to part with those elite spies who chased thousands of miles from north to south. You could have killed the Fang family early on, but because of my order, you have to let the tiger go back to the mountain. If you have any complaints against me because of this , this is also human nature.”

Shen Moyun lowered his head and said: "I don't have such thoughts in my heart."

Emperor Kaiping looked at him for a moment, then showed a faint smile, and said slowly: "The Southern Zhou Dynasty is different from the Western Wu Dynasty. When the former Wei Dynasty was destroyed, many aristocratic families traveled southward, so that only Han and Fu were left in Daliang. The two families, and the other ones will not be on the table after all. Not only do I want to take down the thousands of miles of fertile fields in the south, but I also want to hold those splendid Wenhua in my hands, so that I can create a prosperous world. Directly sending troops will only arouse the people of Zhou to feel the same hatred and hatred. Even if Daliang's military equipment is well-organized and far superior to the opponent, if the south is smashed, why would I bother to plan?"

Mo Moyun nodded and said: "It is indeed necessary to give some of them a reason to change their positions."

Emperor Kaiping smiled lightly and said: "That's the reason. Scholars in the world are used to finding an excuse to deceive themselves and others, so I will give them this excuse. The envoy had already set off five days ago, and I ordered him to tell the Emperor of Southern Zhou that Fang Xie Xiao and his five sons are punished and sent to the capital, and I will cancel all the past grievances."

The so-called grievances are not only caused by Fang Yunhu acting on his own so that Southern Zhou’s spies in Daliang were exposed, but also that Fang Xie Xiao led the army northward to provoke disputes when the late Emperor was in power, taking advantage of a lot on the border, and finally led to changes in the capital of Daliang. .

Mo Moyun said with a smile: "I'm afraid the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty didn't have the courage."

Emperor Kaiping said: "He should understand why I did this, but he has no way to break the situation. Mo Yun, the people in the south of Taige can move."

Mo Moyun understood and said: "The minister will let the sons spread the news, and firmly pin the crime that caused the national war on the Fang family."

Emperor Kaiping sternly said: "From bottom to top, from small to large."

Mo Moyun stood up and cupped his hands: "Yes."

Emperor Kaiping waved his hand and said, "Sit down. Has there been any movement in the capital recently?"

Mo Moyun pondered and said: "Li Bingzhong and Lu Jiang conspired against Zhongshan Marquis Pei Yue. The former conspired with the courtiers to impeach Pei Yue, and the latter gathered the dead to attack Pei Yue. Before the minister entered the palace, Pei Yue's men had already surrounded Lu Jiang's family. It was an extremely secret house, but his people were in vain, because Lu Jiang led everyone to disappear from the secret passage in advance."

Emperor Kaiping looked at him with satisfaction, obviously he knew that Mo Moyun had nothing to hide, and said softly: "Lu Min's son should not have such a scheming."

Mo Moyun said in a deep voice: "At present, we can't find out who is helping him secretly, but we can be sure that this person's target is Pei Yue."

Emperor Kaiping said indifferently: "Let them go. If that boy Pei Yue can't even solve this matter, it will be a waste of Gu Liang's expectations and support for him. As for Lu Jiang and his like, if he wants to kill him in a moment of anger Kill him, you don’t have to stop him from venting his anger. I’ve read the seven strategies he compiled, and although some of them are borrowed from the experience of predecessors, you can still see his talent and ability, especially the seemingly simple mandarin duck The array is really a sharp weapon for fighting in the southern border."

He paused, then said with a faint smile: "I still want to use Pei Yue a lot, you try to take care of it."

Mo Moyun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being frivolous, this matter is slightly inappropriate."

"Oh?"

"I have no personal relationship with Pei Yue, and when I broke up with Xi Sidao, and the grievances and grievances of the Dingguo Mansion were mixed in the middle, it is really not suitable to act rashly. In fact, Gu Liang is backing him, unless His Majesty wants to give this Zhongshan After some lessons, there are not many people in the city who can bully him."

"I vaguely heard that your daughter is very close to the eldest daughter of the Pei family in Dingguo Mansion?"

"That's true."

Emperor Kaiping stared at him fixedly, did not continue to speak, and said with a slight smile: "Forget it, that kid is proud of the spring breeze, and even the fourth brother is rushing to give him money, and then I will let you protect him from the wind and rain." It's not right."

Mo Moyun said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the marquis of Zhongshan is too favored, which will definitely arouse the hatred of the courtiers. If such a good general cannot last long, it may not be a good thing for Daliang."

Emperor Kaiping ignored this sentence, and said with deep eyes: "Mo Yun, how long do you think the war in the south will last?"

Mo Moyun pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Within two years, great things can be accomplished."

Emperor Kaiping said indifferently: "That's three years."

If you want to fight this war of annihilation, you will definitely need time to prepare, especially before the soldiers and horses are mobilized for food and grass. The military supplies to support hundreds of thousands of troops for a long-term battle cannot be solved in a short time.

In addition, training, espionage, and deployment of troops all take time.

After discussing for less than half an hour, Mo Moyun got up to leave, and Emperor Kaiping suddenly said: "You should keep an eye on it tonight, don't make too much noise."

"The minister will watch in person."

After the silent cloud receded, Pei Yue's elegant and handsome face appeared in Emperor Kaiping's mind, and he sighed softly in his heart: "It is the most reasonable thing in the world that prosperity must decline, and three years of prosperity is enough to be worthy of your loyalty. After all, most people can only A life of mediocrity and inaction. Don't blame me, this is the path you chose."

He suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and slightly raised his voice: "It is said that Hanlin will review Wu Cunren."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The 40-year-old eunuch standing not far away bowed in response.

After a stick of incense, Wu Cunren walked into Xinuang Pavilion.

After he saluted, Emperor Kaiping said gently: "Wu Qing, I know that you are quick and quick to argue, and you are more versatile than literary talents, especially good at Fu."

Wu Cunren responded gratefully: "My minister thanked His Majesty for your compliment."

Emperor Kaiping said: "However, today I don't want you to write a fu, but I want you to draft an imperial decree for me, and borrow your literary talent."

Wu Cunren replied respectfully: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping said slowly, Wu Cunren was still calm at first, but when he finished listening to the content of the imperial decree he was going to draft, even though he tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, there was still a bit of weirdness on his face.

"Wu Qing?" Emperor Kaiping looked at him with a half-smile.

Wu Cunren came back to his senses in time, folded his hands and bent down to cover his expression, and replied: "My minister obeys the order."

The inner prison brought a small table and the four treasures of the study, Wu Cunren began to write with a very complicated mood under the watchful eyes of Emperor Kaiping.

The handwriting is correct and simple, and the writing is smooth and gorgeous, but Pei Yue's name on the paper falls in Wu Cunren's eyes, and he only finds it extremely dazzling.
