Invincible son

Chapter 786 785 [Thorn Pei] (twelve)

"Master, that Shangguan Shangshu brought two doctors over here, saying that he wanted to help you diagnose and treat your injuries."

Feng Yi came to the door and said calmly.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites is naturally a big man in the sky for him, a farm boy, but after following Pei Yue for several years, he has already developed a calm and calm attitude, so that he will not panic.

Pei Yue sat in front of the window, looked at the paper on the table, and said calmly: "Tell him to go back, just say that my injury is very light and I have already fallen asleep."

"Yes." Feng Yi bowed his head in response, and when he was about to turn around, he heard Pei Yue ask again: "What time is it?"

Feng Yi replied: "The time of ugliness is approaching."

Pei Yue nodded: "Go."

The night rain has long since stopped, everything is quiet outside, and the candles in the house are brightly lit, reflecting the snow wave paper on the table.Pei Yue's injured left hand has been re-bandaged. The injury is not serious, it's just a shallow scar, because when he shot, he poured his inner strength into his five fingers, and the swordsman couldn't press down at all.

Fortunately, it was his left hand that was injured, which did not prevent Pei Yue from drawing a mind map on paper with a pen.

This is a habit he developed in his previous life.

The domestic situation in the Southern Zhou Dynasty gradually became clearer. Emperor Qingyuan wanted to reform, but there was too much resistance. Even if the chief assistant Xu Huiyan fully supported it, the two monarchs and ministers faced the entangled powerful forces.This is a problem left over from the history of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Zhou Taizu relied on the power of the gentry to establish a dynasty, and then for nearly a hundred years, successive emperors controlled the Nandu family and local wealthy families to control power.

The current chief assistant, Xu Huiyan, was born in the Xu family of Qinghe, one of the Nandu aristocratic families, while the former chief assistant was from a wealthy local family. This was an unwritten rule in the court of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Even if Xu Huiyan supported Emperor Qingyuan, he could not represent the Nandu family, and he could not even form a unified attitude within the Qinghe Xu family.This is because the essence of the reform is to weaken the interests of the clan. Even if Xu Huiyan has the courage to self-mutilate, his people may not have such awareness.

Pei Yue put down the brush, took a sip from the teacup next to him, looked at the names on the paper, and gradually realized something in his heart.

Before attending the Donglin Wenhui, Emperor Qingyuan specially called him into the palace, and he was quite concerned about whether he would attend the meeting.At that time, Pei Yue didn't understand the other party's intentions, but now he probably guessed a little bit.

The emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty wanted to use his domineering and domineering to further stimulate the ruling and opposition parties. This may arouse the Zhou people's hatred of the same enemy. Coupled with the humiliation of being forced to marry the princess far away, even if the reform cannot be achieved overnight, he can still use the fury of the crowd to force the aristocratic family Make certain concessions.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Only by giving benefits to the people will the country continue to grow stronger and the people rich enough to fill the treasury, instead of letting a large amount of wealth be in the hands of those aristocratic families.

Pei Yue sighed softly. Although the emperor in the south was not as tough and scheming as Emperor Kaiping, he was able to firmly grasp the overall situation in the face of so many capable ministers and famous generals.

There is another line on the paper, which looks like the winding Tiancang River, and a dozen names are written on the line.

These people are all the powerful military men of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xie Xiao, the Duke of Zhenguo, ranked first, followed by the four ministers of the Military Aircraft Department and Xian Chunqiu, Marquis of Rejecting the North.

Setting up a plan to eliminate Fang Yunhu tonight is of great significance to Pei Yue. This move is not only to avenge Gu Fan and Nanqin, but also makes him confirm a guess, that is, Xian Chunqiu has a heart disease.

When Xian Xiaoshi shot to kill Fang Yunhu, Pei Yue didn't do anything, this was done on purpose.He hadn't met Xian Chunqiu yet, what Xian Xiaoshi did was submit a certificate of honor to prove his father's sincerity.

Coupled with the fact that Ning Bei sent a letter before, Xian Chunqiu used this method to remind Pei Yue to be careful. After careful consideration, he was finally able to conclude that the Marquis of Rejecting the North had already had the heart of disobedience!
Of course, this disobedience did not mean that Xian Chunqiu wanted to return to Beiliang, but that he had the idea of ​​replacing the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty.

If not, Pei Yue couldn't figure out why he would help him over and over again.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and then Qian Bing walked in slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou."

Pei Yue looked up at him, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit."

"Thank you, Lord Hou." Qian Bing smiled slightly, and then sat with half of his buttocks. He didn't have the temperament of the head of a Taishitai Pavilion at all, just like an ordinary person who was willing to give up his face to make a living, not to mention flattering his beard.

"Have all the sons and daughters of Taige settled properly?" Pei Yue asked.

He was referring to the more than 40 secret agents who fought bloody battles by the Danxia Lake. Although these people had been exposed, Pei Yue did not want them to stay by his side. There will inevitably be surprises if you keep an eye on it thoroughly.

Qian Bing replied calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although there have been a lot of eyes in the dark from the moment they appeared, the people in Taige know how to get rid of the other party's surveillance, and getting out is not a problem. According to Lord Hou's order, all the sons and daughters of Taige in the Southern Zhou Dynasty will hide and lurk, and they will not act rashly without the order of Lord Hou."

Pei Yue looked at him with satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked: "Before you said that Mr. Shen left Beijing to go south, is there something wrong with Yaoshan Camp?"

Qian Bing pondered and said: "I don't know, but this matter may be related to Lord Hou."

Pei Yue thought for a while, then said softly: "The person who wants to kill me came from Yaoshan Camp?"

Qian Bing was silent for a moment, then asked solemnly: "Master Hou, do you feel resentful?"

Pei Yue asked back with great interest: "Resentment? Why did Mr. Qian say that?"

Qian Bing showed hesitation on his face. Although he has been active in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he is no stranger to the resume of the young dignitary in front of him by virtue of his identity as the head of the Dubu and the information collected here.If the previous impression was not clear enough, the recent ten days or so was enough to make him marvel at Pei Yue's excellence.

Standing proudly and adapting to the situation outside the Sifang Pavilion, fighting the Confucianists with righteous words at the Wenhui Banquet, and making long-distance raids and killing decisively in the precarious night rain, Qian Bing gradually understood why Mo Moyun valued this young and weak crown so much The first-class prince.

Looking at the warm smile on Pei Yue's face, Qian Bing said with a little anger: "Master Hou is doing his best for Liang, even if he is in a foreign country, he will not forget to weaken the opponent's strength, but there are still people in the country who are plotting in every possible way and trying to get rid of them." Marquis died, could it be that the consciences of those people have been eaten by dogs?"

Pei Yue lightly smiled and said: "As far as I know, you have been in the south for six years, and you can't even meet your own wife, children and relatives, and because of the special features of Duibu, they can't even enjoy your official position. Do you have any resentment in your heart for the convenience it brings?"

Qian Bing shook his head and said: "Xiaguan has never thought about it this way, because Mr. Shen will definitely take good care of Xiaguan's family."

Pei Yue said slowly: "Lord Shen loves his subordinates, and His Majesty also loves me, a bastard-born Wu Xun, since you have no resentment, how can I feel resentment? As for those who hate me for not dying, hehe, what do you think of them? Can you do it?"

Qian Bing said sternly: "Absolutely not, even if I risk my life, I must protect the safety of Lord Hou."

Pei Yue waved his hand and said: "It's serious. Although there are many people who want to kill me, there are not many people with this ability. The commander of the Yaoshan Camp is Xiongwu Hou Lanyu. If I'm not wrong, he should be Wei Guogong's confidant? "

These things are all Taiwan cabinet secrets, and it is reasonable for Qian Bing not to disclose them at will, but at this moment he said without hesitation: "Yes, Xiongwuhou and Wei Guogong don't have much contact on the surface, but Mr. Shen told the officials , They have a very close personal relationship, and the several key promotions of Marquis Xiongwu secretly had the help of Wei Guogong."

Wang Pingzhang really had a good plan, and this strategy of killing two birds with one stone was extremely vicious.

If it is possible to assassinate Pei Yue in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, one can justifiably use troops against the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the other can cut off one of Gu Liang's arms, and at the same time create opportunities for Wang Jiuxuan to rise.

Pei Yue was not annoyed in his heart, he just felt that he couldn't bear it all the time, since Wang Pingzhang wanted to retire several times and return home, he must fulfill his wish after returning to Beijing.

Pressing down on this thought, he looked at Qian Bing and asked, "When do you think Lan Yu's people will make a move?"

After pondering, Qian Bing replied: "If it is up to the lower officials to decide, before dawn is the best time."

Pei Yue smiled, shook his head and said, "I bet the people sent by Lan Yu wouldn't choose this time."

Qian Bing looked puzzled. Logically speaking, Pei Yue had just experienced an assassination, and the second half of the night is when people are most likely to relax. Why was he so sure that the other party would not do anything?

Pei Yue said patiently: "Of course I can think of what they can think of, especially Fang Yunhu was tricked into losing his life by me, Lan Yu's people don't dare to be impulsive. Everyone is very tired tonight, you can make arrangements, you don't have to worry about everything Everyone is waiting for the attack, and only the necessary sentry posts will be left."

Qian Bing complied respectfully, but he didn't dare to go to sleep, and he didn't feel at ease. Anyway, it was less than two hours before dawn, and it would pass after a while.

When the first morning light appeared in the sky, Qian Bing, who was hiding in the corner, breathed the fresh air after the morning rain, and couldn't help admiring Pei Yue's insight into people's hearts even more.
