Invincible son

Chapter 644 643 [A flash of inspiration]

Up to Emperor Kaiping, there had been five emperors in Daliang. Apart from Emperor Renzong who reigned for only one year, the other four were all worthy emperors.After nearly 100 years of expansion by four generations, Daliang expanded from the capital it initially occupied to the land of five prefectures, and then experienced countless disputes and killings, finally forming the vast territory it is today.

The dynasty is still on the rise and has not reached its peak state, so unless there is a huge problem in the Tian family itself, no matter how powerful the people below are, it is impossible for the people below to rebel successfully.

The reason is that the Liu royal family has always been quite lenient to the common people. Although those ordinary people who face the loess and their backs are far away from the rich and powerful, they can at least support themselves.

As long as there is enough food to eat, who is willing to follow the rich and powerful to rebel?

If it really came to the end of the dynasty when public dissatisfaction boiled over, the people who couldn't survive would naturally rise up without the dignitaries taking the lead, just like the Great Wei Dynasty a hundred years ago.

This is the fundamental reason why the emperor can always occupy an absolute dominant position.

Pei Yue revisited the situation Pei Zhen faced more than once, and finally had to admit that the other party's choice was very wise.

Even Pei Zhen can only give up her glory and wealth by feigning death in order to protect herself and her family, so why do other people rebel?

Emperor Kaiping seldom went out of the palace, and he was surrounded by the double protection of court guards and imperial guards, and another [-] elite imperial guards guarded the palace, not to mention the alternating light and dark defenses of Taishitai Pavilion and another team.Assassinating the emperor was an impossible task. Even if Pei Yue himself faced Emperor Kaiping, he might not be able to succeed if he made a sudden attack, because any unremarkable eunuch next to the emperor might be a martial arts master.

Assassination does not work, and open rebellion is a surefire way.

In addition to the imperial army and the Kyoto garrison, careerists must have at least two battalions of the three battalions of the Beijing army in order to be able to capture Kyoto by surprise, and then threaten the palace with absolute superiority.

Pei Yue suddenly felt that he was fantasizing, even Pei Zhen back then didn't have such ability, who else could do it?Wang Pingzhanggui is the leader of martial arts, and Xiying is the confidant force he has cultivated for so many years. If he really raises the flag to rebel, how many people from Changxing Hou Qujiang will follow?
Of course, compared with such an act of rebellion in the prosperous age, Pei Yue was more surprised and confused when the news came out of Ning Ning's mouth.

After pondering for a long time, Pei Yue asked, "How did you know about this?"

Condensed and replied: "Master Hou, this incident was purely accidental. I learned about it from an elder in my hometown. He has a very deep connection in the Zhou Dynasty army, and he can often know some secrets. I don't know the details, just listen to him Some people in the northern capital rebelled. After the uprising, they dealt with Lord Hou first, and then used means to force the emperor to abdicate. The elder also said that if Lord Hou died, there would be chaos in the Beiliang army, and it would be difficult for your emperor to abdicate whether or not The ability to use troops against the Zhou Dynasty."

Pei Yue observed her expression, and after a long time slowly said: "Thank you for telling me, I will deal with it carefully."

Ning Ning sighed softly: "Actually, according to my status, I shouldn't have told Lord Hou about this, because if someone really rebelled, it would be the best result for the Zhou Dynasty. But I have lived in the capital for nearly 40 years. Many times I thought I was from Liang, but now even I can’t tell the difference, am I from Liang or from Zhou?”

There are always many dilemmas when people live in the world.

A trace of softness appeared in Pei Yue's hard heart, and he said softly, "Do you have many relatives in the south?"

Ning Ning shook his head and said: "Except for the elder mentioned just now, there are no other relatives."

Pei Yue didn't ask her why she appeared by Chen Qingchen's side, everyone has their own suffering past, talking more will only add to the sadness.

He changed the topic and said: "You live here for the time being, and I will let people solve your identity problem as soon as possible. Now Taohua also has a small courtyard of her own in the Hou's mansion. When the time comes, your mother and daughter will live together. A little bit of my heart."

Ning Ning hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Pei Yue nodded in greeting, then turned and left.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Pei Yue let go of Tao Hua's wrist, which he had been holding all along, and asked her to go play with the maids, and then he went straight to Ye Qi's courtyard.

The name of this place is Qingya Xiaozhu, which was named by Ye Qi himself.

After signing the marriage contract, Ye Qi's status in the mansion no longer needs to be shy, and the maids and servants all call her Madam.But Ye Qi didn't like this title, so he still let those people call him Miss Ye.

When Pei Yue walked into the flower hall, Ye Qi was leaning on the couch, holding a scroll of words in his hand, his eyes were slightly closed.

"It seems that this thing really helps sleep." Pei Yue said with a light smile.

Ye Qi slowly opened his eyes, and asked curiously: "Didn't you go to see Aunt Leng? The talk is over so soon?"

Pei Yue sat down on the other side of the couch, subconsciously glanced at the socks on Ye Qi's feet, coughed lightly and said, "I don't have so much to talk about, I called you to go with me in the morning, why don't you go?" ? You have a relatively close relationship with her."

Ye Qi tucked her feet into the hem of her skirt, and said softly: "If I'm there, it will inevitably embarrass you, and besides, you won't embarrass Aunt Leng even for Taohua's sake."

The two embarrassments have different meanings, but express the same attitude.

Pei Yue smiled, then sat down next to Ye Qi, and sighed: "She came here through mountains and rivers, of course I won't make things difficult for her. It's just that this time she brought me a very strange news, which made me very confused. "

Seeing him approaching suddenly, Ye Qi was about to put some distance away, but couldn't help but startled when he heard this, and asked, "What news?"

Pei Yue briefly said Ning Ning's words, and then said solemnly: "Regardless of whether the rebellion is true or not, why do people in the south deliberately let the wind out to Ning Ning? There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to let me know that this But even if I know, so what?"

Ye Qirou said: "Could it be to provoke a fight between you and other important figures in the army? If it can cause civil strife in Daliang, then the attack on Zhou will definitely be affected."

"wrong."

Pei Yue shook his head resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "Without real evidence, it is impossible for me to frame others at will, not to mention that this matter is news from the south. Do I have to tell the emperor that Nan Zhou found out that there is a rebellion on our side?" The possibility? Condensation is not hearsay, but someone specifically found her to tell her about it."

"But who would do such a stupid thing as treason?"

"There are three possibilities. One is that, as you said, this matter itself is false. The South just wants to cause us panic. The second is that someone really wants to rebel. The key is that he still has a certain strength, even if he fails It can also seriously hurt Liang's vitality. The third type is someone's whimsical attempt to—"

Having said that, Pei Yue suddenly stopped talking and looked at Ye Qi fixedly.

Ye Qi asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, then frowned suddenly and said, "This matter is probably true."

He paused, and said in a strange tone: "Do you still remember that assassination?"

Ye Qi thought for a while and asked uncertainly, "Which time?"

"That brawny man on Yulong Street."

As Pei Yue spoke every word, he felt a bright light enter his mind, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
