Invincible son

Chapter 902 901 [Pei Yue's Power]

People in Kyoto like to talk about the court situation in a mystical manner, which seems to be the tradition of all the places under the feet of emperors throughout the ages.

The officials in the court are in the whirlpool, and it is even more difficult to stay away from the temptation of power. However, the situation is always chaotic and fascinating, and most people can't see the thin thread hanging in front of them.

I don't know how many people crossed that line and stepped into the thunder pool, and then they were involved in the storm of court disputes, and ended up being smashed to pieces.

Even though there are countless bloody examples in front of them, there are still very few people who can advance and retreat with evidence, but those who can see the right time and make a decisive move will leave their names in the history books without exception.

Wang Pingzhang is one of the best.

No one questioned his military accomplishments, otherwise he would not have been able to rise to the top under the background of a weak family background, and he would have become as famous as Pei Zhen in the Zhongzong Dynasty.

But he can get to where he is today, and the ability to seize opportunities is more important.

Among the many princes under Zhongzong's knees, both the second prince Liu Xuan and the fourth prince Liu Zheng had the hope of inheriting the great rule. In the end, he chose Liu Xuan, who was kind and generous, but he did not completely eliminate the power controlled by Liu Zheng.

After Liu Xuan came to the throne, Wang Pingzhang persuaded Liu Zheng to complete another change of imperial power in just one year.As the number one hero of Conglong, especially after Pei Zhenyuan went to Xiguan to lead the battle, no one can stop his rise.

During the 11 years from the first year of Renxuan to the first year of Kaiping, with the support of Emperor Kaiping, Wang Pingzhang successfully sat on the No.1 throne in the military and firmly suppressed the descendants of the founding princes.Then there was a period of five years of fighting between the monarch and his ministers. Facing the extremely powerful son-in-law, Gu Liang and Pei Yue, he did not bear the emperor's pressure, but behaved extremely submissive.

Because of this, he had the opportunity to regain the emperor's reliance when Pei Yue's rising momentum was beyond the control of Emperor Kaiping, and planned the battle of the southern border in which the false marriage was actually sent.Although those people in the Southern Dynasties held the same idea and were finally given the greatest credit by Pei Yue, Wang Pingzhang had already achieved his goal, and the situation was better than he expected.

His timely statement at this moment is just a very simple flattery in his decades of struggle.

Emperor Kaiping on the dragon chair may not want to drive Pei Yue into the dust, but he must let the emperor realize his existence and importance.

If you want to completely subdue Pei Yue's stubborn temperament, you can't do it without his check and balance.

Sure enough, Emperor Kaiping fell into deep thought after listening to Wang Pingzhang's narration, and was not angry because of it.

Everything in this world is relative, Emperor Kaiping knew Wang Pingzhang, why is he not familiar with the emperor's temperament?The emperor uses him, so he can use the emperor naturally, the difference is that the former can be unscrupulous, while he must plan carefully.

Pei Yue was amazed in his heart, and secretly lamented that Wang Pingzhang's stable position in Zuo Junji was not a fluke. The confrontation between him and the emperor contained too much truth, and he could learn some methods himself.

After all, Wang Pingzhang is not an ordinary person. After he made his statement, many Wu Xun also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Pei Yue was not in a hurry to argue, the statement just now had fully clarified his attitude, and repeating it in a hurry would easily fall into the wrong place.

You Junji and Guangping Hou Guliang finally stood up and said unhurriedly: "Wei Guogong is right. Pei Yue has indeed made a lot of contributions in the great victory in the southern border, and he should be rewarded, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. However, the next The official would like to ask, does Duke Wei also think that Pei Yue should be crowned Duke?"

All the officials were awe-inspiring.

In their impression, since Gu Liang entered the West Mansion, he has changed from his previous rough and violent temper. Although his partner with Wang Pingzhang is not a perfect match, there has not been any obvious conflicts.

At this point in the court meeting, the two chief officials of the West Mansion finally faced each other face to face, but this did not exceed most people's expectations. After all, the relationship between Gu Liang and Pei Yue is well known. It would be better if he remained silent until this time. Weird thing.

Emperor Kaiping above squinted his eyes slightly, and seemed to be very satisfied with the situation. No emperor would want to see his army leaders as one.

Facing Gu Liang's inquiry, Wang Pingzhang replied indifferently: "Pei Yue is now a first-class prince, how do You Junji think he should be rewarded?"

Gu Liang smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "How about sealing a thousand households with food?"

In addition to the nine ranks of titles ranging from Baron to Duke, Daliang's most commonly used rewards for military relatives and nobles are Shiyi.Just like Wang Pingzhang's previous list of rewards for the generals of the Southern Army, there are several households in Shiyi.But it should be noted that this kind of food town is a fictitious seal, and the material money allocated by the imperial court is equivalent to several households, which is actually equivalent to the special allowance that Pei Yue has heard of in his previous life.

This is not the case for Shi Shifeng. A thousand households, including a certain amount of land, will be rewarded to Pei Yue, and these assets can be inherited hereditary.

Very few martial arts can receive this kind of reward, because it represents the absolute importance and trust of the emperor. Even Wang Pingzhang himself only has [-] households, of which [-] households were rewarded after Emperor Kaiping ascended the throne. .

It was inconvenient for Pei Yue to speak up on this kind of matter, and it was even more inappropriate to refuse to accept it. He couldn't open his mouth to bargain in person, but fortunately, Gu Liang dealt with it for him.

Wang Pingzhang's gray eyebrows frowned slightly, before he could refute, a clear voice sounded from the civil servant.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Gu Junji's suggestion is very appropriate."

Everyone looked at it one after another, only to see Luo Ting, who was in power on the right, said calmly.

Although Emperor Kaiping had slapped the ruling face before, everyone knew that Luo Ting would never be obsequious because of this.

Pei Yue's heart gradually settled down. In his prediction, Gu Liang would definitely protect him from the danger of rising and falling to seize power at the meeting today, and Luo Ting would also help him at critical moments.

On the premise that the emperor himself is not so resolute, wouldn't it be enough to suppress those clamoring voices with one military plane and one in power?
He just didn't expect Sheng Duanming to be so determined.

Just at this moment, another person stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Qizuo, my humble minister sees that the imperial court needs to reward the Marquis of Zhongshan, but it should not be too much. ?”

Emperor Kaiping finally frowned.

This person is Jian Rong, Supervisor of Charcoal Temple.

Although the Charcoal Temple is a newly established yamen, its importance has gradually surpassed that of the original Jiuqing, and Jian Rong's status has also risen, almost on the same level as the six ministers.In addition, he is well-known for his Qing name, and he also served as the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and now he speaks quite weighty in the court.

Emperor Kaiping's slender eyes glowed indifferently, looking at Pei Yue who stood with lowered eyebrows from a distance.

Gu Liang's voice was expected by him, but he never imagined that there would be so many dignified officials standing by this young man's side!
No matter Sheng Duanming, Jian Rong, or even Luo Ting, there is no doubt about the loyalty of these people.He has always respected them a lot, and most of the time he can tolerate their stubborn tempers, which is also the root cause of Liang Chaotang's stable and efficient operation.

No matter how good the warriors are, without the support of the imperial court, they will become a tree without roots and water without a source.

Emperor Kaiping never worried about his own foundation, so he could boldly use the contradictions of various forces in the army to check and balance.

As long as there is no chaos in the court, even Wang Pingzhang can only accept the suppression obediently.

However, he did not expect Pei Yue to win the support of so many civil servants.

Do they really believe that Pei Yue will always be loyal to me?
Could it be... am I really wrong?

Pei Yue's mood was extremely complicated at the moment, he was moved by the care these adults showed him, but also faintly aware that it seemed a little too much.Just like what they said to Ye Qi and the others when they were in the Hou's Mansion, today's court meeting cannot be the final decisive battle, and the emperor probably just took a look at his bottom line and capital.

Originally thought that Gu Liang and Luo Ting would be enough to solve those superficial troubles, but Sheng Duanming, Jian Rong and others would also stand up.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was waiting for Emperor Kaiping's final decision.

Is it because there is another young and weak crown prince in Daliang, or is there another reward as Gu Liang said, so as to prevent Pei Yue from returning home to retire at a young age?
Pei Yue was very confident at first, but the people in the court were not pawns in his hands after all, and it was impossible for everyone to act according to his ideas, especially the help of a group of civil servants, which actually made him stand directly on the opposite side of the emperor.

Just before Pei Yue was about to speak to ease the situation, an old voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, can you allow me to say a few words?"

Mo Haoli, the head of the civil servants of the Liang Dynasty and the elder of the four dynasties, finally opened his eyes.
