Invincible son

Pei Yue's understatement "It's not anymore" instantly ignited the anger of the scribes.

"Insanity!"

"shameless!"

"As the envoy of Beiliang, how can you say such words that confuse black and white?"

"Since ancient times, the three cities of Jiangling have been our country's territory, and now they are forcibly occupied by your country. Not only do you not have the slightest sense of guilt, but you dare to talk about it here!"

"You really deceived me that Da Zhou is unmanned?"

"I advise Marquis Zhongshan to take back this statement, and don't destroy the relationship between Zhou and Liang!"

All kinds of things came one after another, and the huge bright hall became extremely noisy in a very short period of time.Regardless of whether they were officials or not, and no matter what their true thoughts were, the literati of the Southern Zhou Dynasty stood up and criticized Pei Yue loudly at this moment, as if those five short words were a great shame and would force Pei Yue to swallow it back.

Even Xu Churong was taken aback by this situation. Obviously, she had never experienced such a situation that everyone criticized, and she couldn't help being extremely worried for a while. A literati with the power of a chicken, who can bear the consequences?However, when she turned her head worriedly, she found that Pei Yue was actually smiling.

It's not that kind of arrogant laugh, it's not that kind of bluff smirk, it's not that kind of cold and cunning smirk.Xu Churong suddenly felt that he didn't know Pei Yue well enough, because at this moment the smile on the other party's face was extremely calm and calm, as if he didn't pay attention to those who besieged him at all.

But she was not confused by this smile, because she knew her identity and the positions of both parties.

In any case, the three cities of Jiangling are a scar in the hearts of all Zhou people.

Therefore, she asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

Amidst the din, her voice was slightly soft, but because Pei Yue's five senses were extremely sensitive, she could hear it clearly.He still looked at the literati around him who were glaring at him, and said calmly: "I think you Zhou people are unreasonable."

"Reason?" Xu Churong frowned, she didn't understand what this had to do with reasoning.

Pei Yue cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, what I just said is really not appropriate."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they were just fighting for verbal momentum, they never thought that Pei Yue would really give in in public.If he dared to do this, would the Emperor Beiliang allow it?Even if that king attached great importance to Pei Yue, the Northern Liang Dynasty would not let him go.So when Pei Yue suddenly changed his tone, many people thought there was something wrong with their ears.

Taking advantage of the sudden silence in the hall, Pei Yue said calmly: "The three cities of Jiangling cannot be said to be the territory of our dynasty now, it should be said that they have always been, but they were occupied by your country for no reason before, and now they are I'm just taking it back."

Zhang didn't wait for other people to make noise again, and refuted sharply: "Absurd! Seventy-six years ago, the emperor Taizu of my dynasty established Jian'an as the capital. Clever argument?"

Pei Yue drank half a glass of wine, and said calmly: "Since the old man wants to speak the truth, then I will tell you the truth. Thirty-six years ago, Xian Chunqiu, a rebel general of our dynasty, fled across the south of the Yangtze River, and was put in command by the late emperor of your country. Relying on his familiarity and understanding of our southern frontier army, he once invaded our territory to the southern tip of Qinzhou today.”…

Zhang Ji's complexion changed slightly, he looked at Pei Yue sternly, already aware of what the young man was going to say.

Pei Yue looked around at everyone, and said with a bit of anger: "Although more than 30 years have passed, I still have many people who have witnessed it in the south. After your soldiers went north, they burned, killed, looted and committed all sorts of crimes. The vast land is almost covered with blood. At that time, Emperor Zhongzong sent envoys to the south to negotiate many times, hoping that your country could retreat to the south bank of the Tiancang River and return the land to our dynasty."

"boom!"

Pei Yue slapped the table suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "What did the former emperor of your country say? The world is so big, those who can take it!"

Zhang Ji frowned and said: "The grievances and grievances in the past are definitely not the fault of one party. Now that Your Majesty agrees to marry the two dynasties, you should show sincerity, so that the world can be convinced."

Pei Yue sneered and said: "Joke! You took it for granted when you were in the upper hand, but now you are in a disadvantage and ask others to be kind and humble. How can there be such a reason in the world? Mr. Zhang, all scholars, I am here today just to watch the grand event in the literary world. I don't want to talk about those old things. But if you are aggressive, please criticize the words of the late emperor of your country first, and then come to discuss right and wrong with me!"

Zhang Ji remained silent, he was highly respected in the Southern Zhou literary world, but after all he could not stalk and fight unreasonably.

The others secretly thought about countermeasures, but Pei Yue's words were too insidious, directly occupying the commanding heights of righteousness, so that they dared not speak at will.

If you want to refute his words, you must first deny the words of the former emperor of this dynasty. How can there be such a rogue argument?
After a short period of calm, another middle-aged literati said: "What Pei Hou said earlier, I quite agree with it. It is difficult to sort out right and wrong in the war between the two countries. The offensive and defensive trends change from time to time, and it is difficult to judge right from wrong. However, in the final analysis, it is an indisputable fact that the south bank of the Tiancang River is our country."

"Back to the source?"

Pei Yue looked at this person with a slight smile, and said calmly: "Okay, Ben Hou will tell you about the source."

The middle-aged literati cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Pei Yue said slowly: "Since we are talking about the origin, of course we have to start with the fall of the former Wei Dynasty. You are all great Confucians of the time, and the records in the history books are clear, so I won't be verbose. I just want to say one thing. But my girder is where the legitimacy lies."

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Churong beside him changed his face.

Pei Yue continued: "When the former Wei Dynasty fell, Kyoto was hit by a fire, and the royal family was almost killed and injured. It was I who turned the tide towards Emperor Gaozu and led the soldiers and people in Kyoto to put out the fire and repair the palace. Four years later, The former Wei Lingdi Zen Emperor was located in the Gaozu of our dynasty, Daliang and the former Wei are in the same line. Before the collapse of the former Wei, both Western Wu and your country belonged to the territory of the former Wei."

Even though the middle-aged literati is very well-cultivated, he couldn't help but refute at this moment: "Pei Hou's words are unreasonable."

Who doesn't know what the so-called abdication is all about?Your emperor Gaozu relied on his military strength, coerced the emperor to command the princes, and bullied the orphans and widows of the former Wei royal family. What face does he have to talk so boastfully?
Pei Yue smiled and said: "Sir, Emperor Ling of Wei issued an imperial decree to ask the emperor Taizu of your country to dedicate the city and withdraw his troops. Later, it was I who persuaded Emperor Gaozu many times, so I made your Taizu the king of Zhou. , don’t you even remember these things? Of course, it’s also a well-known story that someone proclaimed himself emperor and established a country by himself.”

One speech was speechless.

It is true that Pei Yue has never studied poetry and articles, but since he came to this world, he will study history books whenever he has the opportunity, and he will not relax every day when he is in Luliuzhuang.He never thought that there would be this situation today, but he knew that if he wanted to survive and rise in this world, he must understand the history of this world.

Seeing that he had refuted all the scribes to the point of being speechless, Xu Xi sighed softly in his heart, and said: "Please excuse my abruptness, I think that what Pei Hou said is about orthodoxy or not, it is not enough to say."

Pei Yue turned to look at him, and said calmly, "What's your opinion, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Xi said in a deep voice: "When it comes to orthodoxy, the people's hearts are the first."

Many people's eyes lit up, and it was appropriate to say this sentence from his mouth. After all, the Qinghe Xu family was the representative of those Nandu families back then, and it also represented the rich and prosperous cultural atmosphere of this place.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and it has been the right way in the world since ancient times.

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said: "It makes sense. It's just that Mr. Xu is overthinking. Although it is a virtue to cultivate and study family heirlooms, a mere hundreds of families and tens of thousands of people can't represent the hearts of the people."

Suddenly a person shouted loudly: "The Qinghe Xu family can't represent it, so many Wenhua families can't represent it, can you copy two poems for fame and reputation to represent it?!"
