Invincible son

Chapter 708 707 [North and South]

There is an independent courtyard to the west of the main hall of Dingguo Mansion. This is the Pei family ancestral hall, which enshrines the ancestors of the Pei family.

As night fell and the moonlight melted, Pei Cheng walked into the ancestral hall alone.

Candles were brightly lit in the main hall, and a thin figure was kneeling on the futon.

Pei Cheng walked up to the front and offered incense devoutly, then knelt down beside the figure, and kowtow respectfully to the ancestral tablet.

The sound is crisp and audible.

After completing a whole set of ceremonies, Pei Cheng did not stand up, facing the ancestral tablet and said slowly: "You have always liked to reason since you were young, and I admit that I am not your opponent in this respect. However, I have been in the military for the past few years. I also learned a truth, and I want to tell you."

Pei Yun looked indifferent and remained silent.

Pei Cheng continued: "Do you know what kind of people are the most unpopular in the army? Some people love money, some are addicted to gambling, and some are violent. These are just minor problems, and you can get used to them after a long time. People who are alienated by everyone are extremely selfish people, because we dare not give our backs to such people on the battlefield."

"Selfish?" Pei Yun sneered.

Pei Cheng turned his head to look at him, and said with stern eyes: "When you plotted against your father and asked him to hand over the memorial to impeach Pei Yue, what thoughts were hidden in your heart that you really thought I didn't know? You said that you were a school seed since you were a child, but if you really So, why do you pester Shen Moyun to worship him as your teacher? After being rejected, you tried every means to keep in touch with Shen Danmo."

He said in a deep voice: "If you are really indifferent to fame and wealth and only love reading, even if you want to be a teacher, you should go to those great Confucian scholars who studied Confucian classics. Why are you so obsessed with Shen's family? Zuo Lingchen in Taishitai Pavilion is very powerful, but I didn't know Master Shen was there. What are your accomplishments in literature?"

Pei Yun's face gradually turned red, he never thought that Pei Cheng would be like this when he came back.

A few years have passed, and his elder brother, who is full of dandyism, has grown to such a point. He seems calm and indifferent, but his words are as sharp as a knife, which gradually makes him feel difficult to deal with.I thought that he was just coming back to show off his power by relying on his status as the successor and the head of the family, and he would be able to handle it in a short time, but at this moment Pei Yun realized that something was wrong.

It can only be said that Pei Yun underestimated the relatives of Wu Xun too much. Although Xiao Jin spent his whole life honing his ability to lead soldiers and fight in war, he was not an ordinary person when he was able to make friends with Emperor Kaiping.Pei Cheng has been by Xiao Jin's side all these years, and he has learned to study diligently, and he is no longer the playboy he used to be.

"Brother, these words are just a crime to impose. Now that you are the head of the family, it is up to you to beat or punish me. I have nothing to say."

Pei Yun forcibly calmed down his turbulent mood, and said indifferently.

There was a deep disappointment in Pei Cheng's eyes, and he said slowly: "Since my father didn't even blame you, then I won't pursue this matter. However, you are plotting against Pei Ning later, and that is your own sister. The slightest concern for family affection? You should be glad that it was Pei Yue who made the shot instead of me, otherwise it would definitely not be as cheap as a slap in the face."

Pei Yun sneered and said, "Brother, do you think he can make a name for himself in the army?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, only the candlelight flickered slightly.

After a long silence, Pei Cheng got up and said, "I will send someone to the Imperial Academy to help you take leave. I just study there, but I don't know what principles you have learned in the book. Pei Yun, this time you will be fined in the ancestral hall." After thinking about it, I don't expect you to change your past, but I hope you can remember it."

Looking at the portraits of the ancestors in front of him, he said with extreme restraint: "In the future, you can continue to walk on the road of civil servants, but don't focus on the relatives around you. There will be no next time."

"You understand the truth, even better than me, and I don't want to make useless attempts to convince you, but you must understand what a foolish warrior like me is best at."

Pei Cheng turned and left.

The gentle night wind blew in, and Pei Yun stared blankly at the ground in front of him.

Before Pei Cheng came back, he already knew that it would be very difficult for him to have a chance to change the situation, especially the night that King Yan conspired against him, what Mo Moyun said in front of the mansion had already expressed his attitude very bluntly.

But Pei Yun didn't think he was wrong, the current situation was nothing more than winner and loser.

However, after listening to Pei Cheng's words of grief, there was more hesitation in Pei Yun's eyes.

Time passed quietly, and Pei Yun gradually regained his composure.

No one knew what was going on in his mind.

……

In the southern suburbs of Kyoto, Shili Pavilion.

Pei Yue sat in the gazebo, with no one else in front of him, holding a wine cup, staring at the clear wine in the cup, he couldn't help but think of the old friend who had bid farewell to him here.

I don't know if Gu Fan is still used to it in the army?Have you ever competed in martial arts with others?

Now that Qin Xian and Xue Meng are training in the Beiying garrison, they don't have many chances to meet each other, even if they meet occasionally, it is inevitable that others will be present.At this time, both Qin and Xue are very concerned about the etiquette of their superiors and subordinates, and they never rely on their previous friendship to maintain their identities.Of course Pei Yue can understand this situation. As his status gets higher and higher, the gap between them may become clearer in the future.

He didn't pretend to be overwhelmed with emotion, after all, he had already understood the principle of distinguishing between public and private in his previous life, otherwise it would not be enough to climb to the top.

Just thinking of Gu Fan, Pei Yue thought of Nanqin and Fang Yunhu, as well as the abrupt and weird report.

This matter is absolutely inseparable from Nanzhou Zhen Guogong Fang Xie Xiao.

The king of Yan has been plotting rebellion for a long time, and Emperor Kaiping ordered the death date of the key criminals to be confused.However, Taishitai Pavilion searched for a period of time, but still did not dig out any valuable information, so Pei Yue still couldn't figure out what those people in the south were thinking.

No matter Fang Xiexiao or Xian Chunqiu, they are definitely happy to see Prince Liang's rebellion. The question is why did they tell Pei Yue in advance?
Are those people in the south worried that they will die in Liu Zan's hands?
Pei Yue couldn't figure it out, even if he wanted to guard against Emperor Kaiping, he couldn't stand with Nan Zhou.When he was in Lingzhou before, Mr. Xi had made it clear that he had nothing to do with the Xian family and the Chen family back then. His biological father, Ling Ping, was most likely a descendant of Lin Qingyuan, so Pei Yuan specially asked Pei Zhen to take care of him.

After all, Pei Yuan and Lin Qingyuan were the right-hand men of Emperor Gaozu back then, and the personal relationship between the two must not be shallow.

The summer wind was blowing, Pei Yue drank the wine in his glass, and there was a daze between his brows.

Suddenly there was movement outside, and Deng Zai came to the pavilion to report: "Master, the Southern Zhou Mission has arrived."

Pei Yue nodded slightly, got up and straightened his sleeves.

Although Emperor Kaiping ordered the eldest prince Liu Xian to be his official envoy, he obviously would not come to the outskirts of Beijing to greet him in his capacity. Pei Yue and Sheng Duanming, the Minister of Rites, will be fully responsible for today.Sheng Duanming is an upright and conservative veteran. In other words, he is not on the same level as Pei Yue at all, and even shows a bit of disdain for being with him.

Pei Yue didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of pedantic old Taoism, as long as the other party didn't disturb him, he would be happy to be at leisure.

The outpost of the Southern Zhou Mission came on horseback, flew off the horse and handed over the documents respectfully.

Pei Yue and Sheng Duanming stood beside the road, half a zhang apart, so it could be said that they were clearly separated.

Suddenly, the mission appeared in the sight of everyone, and when it was about two miles away from the pavilion, the chariots and horses of the Southern Zhou Dynasty stopped slowly, and then saw a middle-aged civil servant leading the accompanying officials forward on foot, this time The attitude can be described as very respectful.

The middle-aged civil servant was Xu Ziping, the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Among the crowd behind him, a young man with a handsome face curled his lips.

Clearly disliked being so humble.
