Invincible son

Chapter 610 609 [Saints do not compete]

Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion.

A thin figure stood at the bottom of the steps, wearing a sky-blue shirt, which was the standard attire of Daliang literati.

His face was pale, with a short beard on his chin, and there was a hint of worry in his innocent eyes.

Visitors came from time to time, and they all showed surprise when they saw this person, and they all stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen Mrs. Jane."

"I've seen Temple Supervisor Jian."

"Students send their greetings to sir."

……

Jian Rong was slightly taken aback, looked up at the young scholar who appeared in front of him, glanced at the gift box in his right hand from the corner of his eye, and asked, "Come to congratulate the Marquis of Zhongshan?"

The scholar nodded in shame and said, "Yes, sir."

Jian Rong sighed softly in her heart, and did not reprimand the other party in public, but said expressionlessly: "Got it."

As if meeting an amnesty, the scholar saluted respectfully, then turned around and handed the gift to the servants of Pei's mansion, without leaving his own name, and hurried away with a face full of panic, leaving only the servants of Pei's mansion who were stunned in place.

Qin Xian, who was standing not far away, watched this scene with a complicated expression.

At this moment, Pei Yue stepped out of the Hou's mansion, and the originally noisy surrounding immediately quieted down, and then a large number of voices of greetings and greetings rang out.

Listening to the changes in the surrounding area, Jian Rong calmly watched Pei Yue walking towards her.

"Master Jane is here, what advice do you have?"

Pei Yue's attitude was slightly indifferent, which was Jian Rong's expected reaction. After all, no matter who was stopped before welcoming the bride, no matter how docile his temper was, there would be some anger, not to mention that Pei Yue had never been that kind. A temperament that is willing to swallow.

Jian Rong calmed down, and said straight to the point: "Jian has a few words that he can't speak quickly, and I hope Marquis Pei doesn't mind."

Pei Yue's first impression of the former Yushi Zhongcheng was very deep. This person publicly impeached the eldest prince at the court meeting was a brave move, so the moment he heard Wei Rui's report, he knew that the other party's visit today was not good.However, he was very puzzled. At that time, Jian Rong was able to be safe after offending Emperor Kaiping's Ni Lin, it was all because he took the initiative to take a step back, and now this move seems to be suspected of revenge.

Later Emperor Kaiping granted Pei Yue the title of Zhongshanzi, and Jian Rong was the only civil servant who came to congratulate him. In Pei Yue's view, this was a reciprocation, so after returning from the western region, he recommended Jian Rong to Luo Ting as the new supervisor of the Charcoal Temple.

There are countless people in the court staring at this official position. Who can fail to see that the supervisor of Charcoal Temple is even more important than the minister of the Six Departments?
Logically speaking, Jian Rong is a smart person. Even if Luo Ting doesn't reveal his words, he should know that his own opinion as the founder is extremely important to be promoted to the supervisor of Charcoal Temple.

It's fine if you don't appreciate it, why come to make trouble today?

Thinking of this, Pei Yue's tone became more and more indifferent: "If it's about the specific operation of Charcoal Temple, Mrs. Jian will come back another day."

Jian Rong shook his head and said, "No, may I ask if Marquis Pei is going to welcome his relatives?"

Pei Yue knew that this person was extremely stubborn, so he didn't waste his time inviting him into the mansion. He looked around coldly, and the soldiers immediately cleared the place, creating a space for the two of them to talk at ease.After the surroundings quieted down, he asked with a bad expression, "So what?"

Jian Rong was not afraid, and said sincerely and firmly: "Peihou's move is very inappropriate."

Pei Yue didn't speak, but looked at him indifferently.

Jian Rong said earnestly: "Pei Hou, the Three Books and Six Rituals are not original creations of Daliang, but the etiquettes that have been passed down from ancient times to the present. They can only be used during marriages. Now Pei Hou is determined to destroy the etiquette for the sake of a wife, It can be seen that this is a provocation and contempt for thousands of years of tradition? If everyone in the world follows Pei Hou, what will be the ritual?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Master Jian's words are too sensational."

Jian Rong sighed softly and said, "Is it true that Pei Hou is so fanatical just for a wife like you?"

Hearing this, Pei Yue couldn't help sneering, and asked back, "I wonder what advice Master Jian has?"

Jian Rong looked up at the grand and regulated Hou Mansion behind Pei Yue, and the figures of the guests who came just now appeared in his mind. His expression was very complicated for a while, and he said slowly: "140 years ago, there was a powerful official named Shi Guang in the former Wei Dynasty. A small banquet every day, a big banquet every five days, the variety of names is dizzying. Let alone the birthdays of parents, wives and children, he even takes the opportunity to make money by taking concubines. All the officials in the capital are hindered by the emperor's favor. For the trouble, I can only prepare a gift and offer it with both hands."

He paused, and sighed: "Now Marquis Pei is very powerful, and he has ascended to the position of commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp with a weak crown. Inside he has His Majesty's respect and trust, and outside he has the full support of Guangping Marquis. Good generals and invincible warriors are far superior to their predecessors. Looking at today's situation, even if Marquis Pei just married Mrs. Ru, who can ignore it? Who dares to ignore it? Even my unworthy The students all put together a gift money, hoping to leave a good impression in front of Pei Hou."

Hearing this, the anger on Pei Yue's face gradually faded.

Jian Rong said again: "Does Pei Hou know what Shi Guang's final fate will be? Ling Chi executed! His family was ransacked and his family was wiped out! All the people clapped their hands and applauded! It is His Majesty the Emperor who favored him before."

Pei Yue's heart was greatly touched, if he still couldn't hear the true meaning of Jian Rong's words, then he was really stupid and hopelessly stupid.

Facing Jian Rongman's worried eyes, Pei Yue felt a little helpless.

He really didn't expect that his taking a concubine would attract so many people's attention, let alone that there would be a wave of gift giving in the capital, even Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang would be involved.But this does not mean that he is ignorant of Jian Rong's worries. Emperor Kaiping's favor for him is obviously extraordinary, even though part of the reason is that the emperor will use the northern camp to cooperate with the southern army to fight a war of annihilation of the country in the future. In addition, I believe in the loyalty he has shown, but this favor is a bit exaggerated after all.

Previously, he had asked Wang Jiuxuan whether he wanted to kill him during this trip, but in fact the emperor is using this method now.

After all, he is too young, so it is inevitable that he will get carried away. In a short period of time, he can be safe and sound because of the emperor's favor, but after a long time, it will inevitably arouse public anger.

However, he couldn't say these words directly to Jian Rong, not because he didn't believe in the other party's conduct, but because this former Yushi Zhongcheng was a real gentleman.

The sages once said that a gentleman can be deceived by others.

So Pei Yue could only whisper: "Master Jian, I have read this story before."

Jian Rong stared into his eyes, trying to see the true heart of this person clearly, but how could he see everything that even Emperor Kaiping could not do?
After a long time, Jian Rong said with a complicated expression: "The way of a saint is to fight for nothing."

Don't fight for it, win without fighting.

Pei Yue responded, "I would like to be taught."

Jian Rong took a few steps back, and suddenly raised her voice: "If we disagree, we will not conspire with each other, so farewell!"

He turned and left with a stern look on his face.

Pei Yue looked at his thin back with a gloomy face, but mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that Jian Rong wanted to use this attitude to save him unnecessary trouble and suspicion.

There is almost no personal relationship between the two, and coupled with the environment of the great Liang Wenwu's different paths, Jian Rong's ability to do this is a testament to his character.

Pei Yue suddenly wanted to ask Emperor Kaiping, is every emperor suspicious?
If the monarch and ministers can not trust each other, with the ability of these mainstays in the court, why worry that Liang will not have a peaceful and prosperous life?
