Invincible son

Chapter 629 Chapter 628 [Qinyuan Spring]

The waves caused by the assassination in the capital are amazing.

Emperor Kaiping acted resolutely, and at the court meeting on the second day after the incident, he deposed King Lu's title and demoted him to the general of Zhenguo. At the same time, he ordered the execution of all assassins including Ning Fengzhi and Lu Jiang.Even though the imperial court's response to this matter can be described as rare and quick, it still could not quell the criticism in Kyoto in a short time.

The reason is that Daliang's officialdom struggles have always been a gentleman's demeanor. Dismissal and resignation are considered to be the end, and there are very few people who will kill them all.Although Xue Tao has been dismissed from the post of Governor of Lingzhou and is now imprisoned in Shanglin Prison waiting for Emperor Kaiping's decision, but when he lost power in the East Mansion, his opponents did not make trouble, but instead sent him to the prominent position of Governor of Lingzhou.

The power struggle at the top is still like this, let alone the officials below?
The incident of Pei Yue being attacked in the capital was extremely rare since the founding of the Liang Dynasty. As for the bloody night in the autumn of the first year of Yongning, no one dared to mention it because it involved the change of imperial power.

Huanghuang Kyoto has a population of one million, and it is very difficult to keep everyone's mouths shut.

The eldest prince's reputation, which was not very good, plummeted, especially the person he plotted this time was Pei Yue, who had a good reputation among the people. He immediately made him an absurd prince in the eyes of the people. .

It is said that the second prince happily held a grand banquet in the palace. Of course, this is a joke of those interested people, and it cannot be taken seriously.

The truth is quite the opposite. Except for Liu Xian, the adult princes are very honest, they don’t go out of the door and don’t concentrate on studying, because they know very well that there is a weirdness in this matter, and Emperor Kaiping must be watching their every move.

The fourth prince even left Xianyun Manor where he would live for a spring in previous years, and returned to his own palace in the northern city of Kyoto.

The other protagonist in this incident seemed extraordinarily relaxed and leisurely.

Pei Yue only showed up once at the court meeting on the second day after the incident, and stayed in the Hou Mansion for the next few days, as if he didn't want to get into any trouble, and stayed with the women in the back house all day long.Either practicing hands with Ye Qi, or reading and writing with Lin Shuyue, or wandering around in the back yard with Tao Hua, it can be described as a fairy-like life.

In fact, there are not many things that need to be done by Pei Yue himself. There are Wei Rui in the Tibetan front guard, Qin Xian in the Wuding guard, and a large group of loyal and brave generals. Pei Yue doesn't need to worry about the training of the Beiying soldiers.Since Xiangyun was downsized and streamlined, Pei Yue limited its business scope to honeycomb briquettes, rice noodles, and cloth. At the same time, a group of shopkeepers and employees with questionable character were dismissed. The business of the store has already been on the right track.

Three experienced shopkeepers are responsible for controlling the overall situation, and more than [-] branches in and around Kyoto are thriving.In addition, the confidants headed by Wang Yong, the sons of Xungui headed by Sun Qi, and the girls led by Lin Shuyue checked the accounts, forming three independent supervision channels. Even if Pei Yue let go, Xiangyun can still run smoothly , Earn a lot of silver for him every day.

It's not the profit of the "Xiangyun" that no one cares about. It's just that the eldest prince hit a hard nail in front of Pei Yue back then. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army. Honestly hide.

As a result, the manor under construction on Beifu Street in Changlefang became the focus of attention of the rich and powerful.

The reason why so many people give gifts to Pei Yue as a concubine is that on the one hand, he is afraid of his current power, and on the other hand, there are many people who want to get closer. If he can get a foothold in the manor, he must be able to earn a lot of money in the future Bowl full.

Money touches people's hearts, and it is an eternal truth.

Especially the spirit named Pozhenzi at the wedding banquet, after being publicized by the relatives of Wu Xun, immediately aroused the eager expectations of the drunkards in Kyoto.Although Pei Yue didn't elaborate on the method of sale, some smart people have already guessed that the wine is probably related to the manor under construction.

It's just that Pei Yue has kept his door behind closed doors for the past few days, seeing no outsiders at all, which can't help but arouse more and more interest from interested people.

On March 26, there was finally movement in the Zhongshan Hou Mansion.

When the sun was three poles high, Pei Yue rode out on his horse, followed by dozens of soldiers, and walked towards the west city.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the bamboo building.

Liu Yu, the shopkeeper of the Zhulou, came out to meet him in person, with a humble smile on his face, but a bit of worry in his eyes.After the news that Pei Yue wanted to build a manor spread, the people who were most affected were Xianyun Manor and Li Yuan. After all, the manor was probably a gentle town full of luxury and money, and a bamboo house that only sold the best wine in the world. It doesn't matter.

However, after a while, the Zhulou immediately became the opponent of the manor, because the rules here are that it is not allowed to buy wine and bring it back, and the distinguished guests have always complained about it, but because the owner behind the Zhulou followed suit. Tough, no one dares to make trouble here.Now that there is a better spirit than Pingjiang Shuangzheng, those people will definitely take the opportunity to publicize it.

In the past few days, Liu Yu didn't eat well and sleep well, so he didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhongshan would entertain guests in the bamboo building.

After asking the owner behind the scenes for instructions, Liu Yu could only hold his nose and agree, promising the best elegant house in the building to Pei Yue.

"Xiaomin pays homage to Lord Hou." Liu Yu saluted respectfully, and at the same time sighed secretly in his heart: "The visitor is not kind, this Zhongshan Hou who is decisive in killing and attacking is probably trying to completely trample the bamboo building under his feet today."

Pei Yue had a panoramic view of his reaction, smiled slightly, and without further explanation, said warmly: "There is the shopkeeper Laoliu."

"Don't dare, dare not, please, Marquis Pei."

Liu Yu was careful not to show any flaws.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "No need, the Marquis is here to welcome the distinguished guests."

Liu Yu was curious, so he had to stand by and wait.A moment later, a noble and luxurious carriage came slowly. When Liu Yu saw the emblem on the carriage and the burly guards beside him, he was startled and lowered his head even more.

Pei Yue stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the prince."

The Fourth Prince and Yan Wang Liu Zan got off the carriage and said with a hearty smile, "Isn't it too strange?"

Pei Yue said imperceptibly: "The prince's face-to-face courtesy cannot be ignored. Today, the prince took the time to come here to give Pei Yue enough face."

King Yan smiled, and joked with deep meaning: "Nowadays there are countless people who want to have dinner with you in the capital. I am a little flattered to be able to receive your post. It can be seen that the prince in front of you Identity loses some weight after all."

With a smile on his face, Pei Yue turned sideways and said, "Please, my lord."

He was half a body behind, not shoulder to shoulder with King Yan.

When a group of people came to Yashe, Liu Yu was sent away with a few words, leaving only Deng Zai and Feng Jing inside to wait on them.

King Yan glanced at the jug on the table, smiled and said, "Could it be that you've already finished drinking after a while?"

Pei Yue personally poured the wine for the other party, and said calmly: "Today I just borrowed the place of the bamboo building, but it's not to bully others, so naturally I want to use their wine."

King Yan savored these words carefully, looked up at Pei Yue and said, "How is the construction progress of the manor?"

Pei Yue replied: "Although I have recruited most of the skilled craftsmen in the capital, and hired thousands of people at high prices, but because the structure of this garden is relatively complicated, many details need time to be carved, so at least two or three months to complete."

King Yan asked with a smile: "I heard that after you bought that piece of land, you demolished the original house?"

Pei Yue nodded and said with a smile, "If you can't break it, you can't stand it."

"Oh? It does make sense." King Yan responded lightly, and then said in a calm manner: "It's better to slow down, some things can't be rushed after all, too impatient can easily cause problems. By the way, has this garden ever been named?"

Pei Yue said: "Qinyuan."

King Yan was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Good name, good name. When this Qinyuan is completed, I'm afraid the sixth brother will talk to you."

"It turns out that Li Yuan is the property of His Highness the Sixth Highness."

Pei Yue spoke calmly, and the past came to mind for a while.

Nanqin was originally Li Yuan's oiran. Although her identity was very secret, did the Sixth Prince really know nothing about it?Fang Yunhu used Nanqin to dig a hole for Gu Fan, but there was another thing that happened before that, that is, the second prince suddenly asked Nanqin to listen to the music. six.

King Yan smiled calmly: "Father doesn't allow us to observe politics, but he doesn't object to us managing some industries."

Pei Yue asked curiously: "The brothel is also okay?"

King Yan seemed to be very concerned about the brotherhood, and said seriously: "Liyuan is not the kind of brothel where people's lives are ignored."

Pei Yue snorted lightly, without arguing about this topic, and said lightly: "To teach the prince to know, I should have personally watched the progress of Qinyuan's construction, but recently something has been bothering me so much that I have been unable to meditate."

King Yan asked slightly surprised: "Is there such a thing? Pei Yue, the emperor's brother has already been deprived of his title, and Pingyang has also been confined in the palace. You should be satisfied, right?"

Pei Yue shook his head, met his eyes and said: "In the final analysis, this matter was done by Ning Fengzhi who is beside King Lu. It would be too cheap to kill him."

King Yan remained silent, picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

Pei Yue said slowly: "My lord, can you help me get rid of this bad breath? In return, I can offer half of Qinyuan's shares with both hands."

King Yan was puzzled and said: "How can I help you?"

Pei Yue said word by word: "My lord is very powerful, he must be able to help me find Ning Fengzhi's family and relatives, right?"

King Yan suddenly put down the wine cup, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
