Invincible son

Chapter 699 698 [Barking]

Of course, the old rules that Liu Xian casually stated were not simple. Several famous chefs in the town of Zhulou personally took charge of the cooking, and prepared a table of perfect dishes in less than half an hour.

According to Liu Xian's usual habits, the master shopkeeper of the bamboo building came to the elegant room with two pots of spring bamboo leaves, but he heard Liu Xian say: "This wine is too soft, please change it to a stronger wine."

The shopkeeper felt bitter, now that the famous spirits in the city have been promoted for a while, the problem is where can he get them?If he took out Pingjiang Shuangzheng like before, he was afraid of offending Pei Yue, who looked calm on the other side.When he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Pei Yue say: "Since Your Highness wants to drink spirits, then take two altars of Pingjiang Double Steam."

The shopkeeper said with tears of gratitude as if he was being pardoned: "The villain will follow the orders of the lord and the lord, and go get the top-grade double steamer."

He was obviously extremely cautious, and he didn't even dare to say the word Pingjiang. After all, the wine was shipped from the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Although it was through the formal channels allowed by the court, who can guarantee that the nobleman doesn't care?
Then, the food and drink were all ready, Liu Xian kicked out all the people in the Zhulou, and there were still only two of them in the room.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Xian's face turned a bit drunk, and he said with emotion: "Actually, I envy you very much."

Pei Yue laughed and said: "Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense."

Liu Xian shook his head slightly and said: "Don't misunderstand, or the word admiration is more appropriate. I ask myself that I am not an indecisive person, but I will still fall into a dilemma when faced with choices, so I admire your determination. Looking back on your journey In the process of walking, I don’t know how many times I have experienced dangerous situations, but you can make the most correct choice every time. Who doesn’t envy this ability? Who doesn’t admire?”

Pei Yue raised his glass to signal him, and then said calmly: "His Royal Highness, many times I am also forced to make choices like you, but I am lucky, so I can survive by luck."

"luck?"

Liu Xian smiled, drank half of the Pingjiang Shuangzheng in the wine cup, and sighed softly: "One time or two is luck, ten times a hundred times is also luck? Pei Yue, I just listened to your analysis, although I have already done it. I'm mentally prepared, but there's still something I can't figure out. Nan Zhou made a request for marriage, can't Father refuse?"

"Yes." Pei Yue nodded, looked at Liu Xian's suspicious eyes, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, are we going to attack Zhou with an army south now?"

Liu Xian had actually thought about this reason, but he couldn't figure it out a little bit, so he continued to ask: "But we have taken the initiative in this matter, and it has nothing to do with Nan Zhou whether to fight or not. Even if the time is not ripe now, Did Nan Zhou dare to cross the Tiancang River to the north? Now agreeing to the marriage request from the south is tantamount to putting a layer of shackles on himself."

Pei Yue tasted the fish in front of the chopsticks, then frowned slightly and said, "It turned out to be sea fish, but it's a pity that the method was wrong and the materials were wasted."

Looking up and seeing Liu Xian looking at him steadily, Pei Yue said calmly: "Take Your Highness and me as an example. At the beginning, I knew that Xu Song from Qibao Pavilion belonged to His Highness. If His Highness never made a move, I would fall into a state of uneasiness." The situation. At that time, I was like an ant on the side of the road compared to His Highness, His Highness only needed to keep silent for a while, and the people around me, such as Sun Qi, would definitely be shaken."

Liu Xian is not stupid, he nodded and said: "So that's how it is."

Pei Yue said slowly: "Your Majesty has never explicitly stated that he wants to attack Zhou, and the southern frontier army has not taken any action. If you agree to Nan Zhou's request for marriage at this time, it will definitely affect the judgment of many people. Of course, like the Emperor of Nan Zhou, People like Fang Xiexiao and Xian Chunqiu would definitely not be able to fool them, but what about the other people in the Southern Zhou court? Using military tactics is the most important thing, and the Southern Zhou court and the public will fall into chaos under this situation of external pressure and internal suspicion. If there is no strong They will never be able to form a single rope against our army.”

Immediately, Liu Xian was convinced, raised his wine cup and said: "You can stand out in the battle in the western region, it can be seen that there is no one worthless under the name, I respect you."

The two drank at the same time, Pei Yue smiled and said: "Actually, I'm just picking up people's teeth. After your majesty ascended the throne, you stayed away from specific military affairs, but from this clever response, you can see that your majesty was able to get so many martial arts back then. No fluke."

"It's natural." Liu Xian was in awe of Emperor Kaiping, and he didn't want to discuss this topic deeply, so he said: "So in the end, only..."

Pei Yue thought for a while, and said calmly: "The princess of the Southern Zhou Dynasty agreed to marry far away, so she must not be an idle person. I suggest that Your Highness grasp the proportions, so as not to put myself in a dilemma in the future."

Liu Xian said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me sort out these things. In fact, my concubine asked me to ask you for advice many times, but I was worried that you would not want to speak up. After all, I did do something that I was sorry to you before."

Pei Yue said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's boring to talk about it all the time."

On the surface, his attitude was calm, but in fact he felt funny in his heart.

What kind of person is Wu Guifei, even though Pei Yue has never had direct contact with her, he can understand the scheming of this nobleman just by looking at the few things in the past.He didn't believe that Concubine Wu Gui couldn't see through Emperor Kaiping's intentions, so just a few words about Liu Xian would be enough.The reason why she asked Liu Xian to come to her on purpose was probably because she guessed Emperor Kaiping's thoughts, so she paved the way for her son in advance.

Pei Yue knew that he had already boarded the emperor's thief ship. If Liu Xian remained indifferent, there would be many crises in the future.On the way to Zhulou today, he calmly thought that this matter can only be done according to the trend, but before he fully sees Liu Xian's true intentions, he will definitely not be able to stand up for the First Prince.

A minister of the prime minister must always cherish his identity.

In any case, the two of them ate the meal very well. Liu Xian would not deliberately put on airs after getting acquainted, at least he was more pleasing to the eye than Liu Zan, and Pei Yue was willing to teach him some principles.

The banquet was finally over, the host and guest were happy, the two walked out of the elegant room and walked out along the corridor on the third floor.

The internal layout of the bamboo building is different from that of the Li Garden. The latter built seventeen small buildings by the lake, with the purpose of creating luxurious and elegant independent spaces.There are only two buildings in the bamboo building, the front and the back. The difference is that the guests in the back building are more distinguished, and they are not as extravagant as Li Yuan. After all, the most important selling point here is all kinds of fine wines in the world.

Pei Yue and Liu Xian walked along the corridor with a few guards, and when they came to the east corner, they suddenly heard the noise in this elegant room.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. The people who come here to drink are mainly Wu Xun, and loud voices can be seen everywhere.

It's just that the few words that came out of it made Liu Xian stop suddenly.

"...Pei Yue? Pooh!"
