Invincible son

Chapter 631 Chapter 630

In the imperial palace, in the royal study.

Sitting on a round stool, Mo Moyun articulated the conversation between Pei Yue and King Yan in the bamboo building without missing a single word.

Emperor Kaiping listened quietly, looked at the ancient scroll in front of him, and said with a complicated expression after a long time: "Pei Yue has put all his heart and soul into it."

This refers to Pei Yue's last words, which not only sympathize with Sacred Heart, but also imply admonishment to King Yan.If the person who instructs Ning Fengzhi behind the scenes is really King Yan, then Pei Yue is hinting that this is the end of the matter for him, and don't think about continuing to stir up trouble.

Mo Moyun said with a little doubt: "I don't know something, why can Pei Yue believe that the assassination case is the envoy of King Yan?"

Emperor Kaiping asked back: "Do you think Pei Yue is framing the fourth child?"

Mo Moyun shook his head, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I just don't understand. As a confidant of His Highness, Ning Fengzhi deliberately used two assassinations to force His Highness to take the blame. Someone must be behind the scenes. From the analysis of the current situation, the Second Highness and even the Sixth Highness are more likely. After all, they are the queen's sons."

This judgment is naturally very reasonable, even if the eldest prince fell into the mortal world at this time, the position of crown prince would not be the turn of King Yan.

Emperor Kaiping sneered and said: "At first, I thought so too, but after Pei Yue's reminder, I finally figured out the context of the whole matter."

He glanced at Mo Moyun, and said coldly: "My fourth son's good tricks, but I don't know how many years he has prepared for this series of tricks."

Mo Moyun pondered for a moment, then said with a little surprise: "Could it be that he still refuses to let go?"

Now that the eldest prince is carrying a big black pot of murdering heroes, and his reputation in the court and the public has fallen to the bottom, it is obviously impossible for such a person to be qualified to be the crown prince.No matter how much Emperor Kaiping favored him, it was impossible to forcibly suppress the ministers and make Liu Xian the crown prince, which would only cause chaos in the court.

Emperor Kaiping's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "He has successfully plotted against his elder brother, so how could he give up halfway? Next, he only needs to divert the trouble to the east and pin the crime of framing the eldest prince on the second child, and he has already succeeded more than half of it." At first, I thought he was just trying to target the boss, but Pei Yue told me that this conspiracy is far more than that, and there will be another storm in the future."

Even though he was used to intrigue, Mo Moyun couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

He said softly: "Ning Fengzhi entered Prince Lu's mansion five years ago, and because he has repeatedly helped His Highness give advice, he has gradually gained the trust of His Highness. If what Pei Yue said is true, doesn't that mean that His Highness the Fourth Highness five years ago? Just start-"

Emperor Kaiping said: "He was only 19 years old that year. In fact, the time for this plan was even earlier. After all, it takes time to train a dead man. Don't forget, my son started to hold Xianyun reviews when he was 13 years old. So far It's been 11 years."

Mo Moyun said with a strange look: "I remember that Pei Yue happened to be 13 years old when he broke through the door."

Emperor Kaiping's eyes drooped slightly, and he said disappointedly: "I originally thought that it was a good thing that the eldest brother, the second child, and the sixth child were all fighting for the position of crown prince, and that the fourth child was willing to be as free as a wild crane. Now it seems that he has been I started to plan all this, and I never gave up step by step. I am old, and the matter of establishing a reserve has been put on the agenda, and he finally waited for the opportunity, so how could he listen to Pei Yue's advice?"

Mo Mo Yun wondered: "If this matter is really done by the Fourth Highness, Pei Yue is willing to stop the drums?"

Emperor Kaiping recalled what Pei Yue said to himself in the side hall of Liangyi Hall on that light rainy night, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Even you can't figure it out, so it can be seen that I didn't misunderstand the person. He just wanted to confirm The real murderer, but he doesn't want to cause turmoil in the court. After all, the boss's reputation is already bad, if other princes are involved, how will the world view the Tian family?"

He paused, and said in a complicated tone: "He told me that if the fourth brother can take the initiative to confess his crimes and give up the power he has managed for many years, he will not pursue the evil intentions of the fourth brother, and hopes that I can make the fourth brother rich and honorable. lifetime."

Mo Moyun was shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect to hear such words from the ruthless His Majesty. Is this still the king who dared to kill the late emperor?

The most important thing is, what kind of ecstasy did this kid Pei Yue give His Majesty?

Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable for King Yan to plead guilty and then give up the power he had been running for more than ten years than killing him?For a prince and prince, what is the glory and wealth without any real power?
At this moment, Mo Moyun couldn't help admiring Pei Yue for being able to perform so perfectly in front of the strict Majesty, which was a feat that neither Pei Zhen nor Wang Pingzhang could do at the beginning.

It's just that he overlooked one thing. Emperor Kaiping was in his twenties back then, and he was full of ambition and energy. Pei Zhen and Wang Pingzhang were courtiers who rose up during the first emperor and even Zhongzong's time. It was extremely difficult to communicate with each other.Now Emperor Kaiping is almost middle-aged, and the few princes are not considered to be successful. Among the juniors, Pei Yue is too bright, and he is a loyal minister he single-handedly promoted. The subtleties are hard to describe.

Following Emperor Kaiping's words, Mo Moyun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the Fourth Highness refuses to give up, I'm afraid someone will complain for His Highness next."

Only by appealing for Liu Xian's grievances can the king of Yan have the opportunity to pin the suspicion of the assassination on other brothers.

Emperor Kaiping's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a cold voice: "I want to see how many ministers he has won over."

Mo Moyun sighed: "I hope His Royal Highness can understand Pei Yue's advice."

Thinking of Pei Yue's performance in this matter, Emperor Kaiping was in a complicated state of mind, and said slowly: "It's a pity that that kid Pei Yue isn't—"

Mo Moyun was startled, and interrupted regardless of the dignity of the monarch and his subjects: "Your Majesty!"

If these words came from the mouth of Emperor Kaiping, it would make Pei Yue fall into death.

Emperor Kaiping came to his senses and laughed at himself.

The majesty of the emperor returned to him, he held the ancient book in front of him tightly, and said forcefully: "If he doesn't understand, I will let him understand. If I don't give you something, he can't take it!"

……

On the first day of April, the almanac says, the rainbow begins to be seen.

Imperial Palace, Chengtian Hall.

At the beginning of Maoshi, all officials entered the palace.

Today is the Shuo Dynasty, and all civil and military officials above the ninth rank in Beijing will participate, and the important officials of the two governments will lead the court first.

What surprised all the officials was that the four adult princes also appeared at the court meeting, and even the eldest prince Liu Xian, who was demoted as a town general, was not absent.It should be known that in the past 16 years, Emperor Kaiping did not allow the princes to directly intervene in the government affairs, so this is the first time in the world.

The emperor's guard of honor came, and the officials shouted long live.

After the etiquette, the inner eunuch said loudly: "All officials have something to do."

There was no sound in the grand and spacious Chengtian Hall, and there was a dead silence that made people feel uneasy.

Emperor Kaiping sat high on the dragon chair, his gaze swept from right to left, and finally settled on a young man.
