Invincible son

In today's Daliang Chaotang, apart from Emperor Kaiping, the only one who can really keep his word is Mo Haoli.

Both Gu Liang and Luo Ting have certain influence, but they have entered the center for a relatively short time, and have not yet built a complete and solid network of relationships.Although Wang Pingzhang is No. 1 in the military, his disciples are all in the military, and because of the incident in the first year of Yongning, he has never been liked by the civil official group, so he has never been able to suppress the officials in court meetings.

Only Mo Haoli has the ability to control the court situation.

He was born in the second year of Taizong Taihe. He was the number one scholar in the palace examination in the 19th year of Taihe. Since then, his official career has been prosperous. After Emperor Kaiping ascended the throne, it was logical that he was promoted to the left ruling.

It has been sixteen years so far.

In the 40 years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Mo Haoli has served as the chief examiner of the examination four times, and has supported countless officials. Today, 11 senior officials above the fourth rank in the court are his disciples or disciples. These people are distributed in six departments and nine temples .Logically speaking, such a giant in the officialdom should be the target of the emperor's fear and suppression. How could he be in power for 16 consecutive years?

Because Mo Haoli never seized power, and many times stood up to frighten the officials when the emperor needed it.Although Emperor Kaiping also had the same suspicious instincts as other emperors, he was able to make the national power of Daliang flourish, and he was able to steadily adjust the court situation for more than ten years.

For example, when dealing with Mo Haoli, he upholds the attitude of not being suspicious of the employer, and the latter has lived up to his trust.

Those courtiers who were clamoring for Pei Yue's appointment as duke previously only accounted for a small part of today's court meeting, and the others have never expressed their opinions. Most of these silent ones are the strength of Mo Haoli.Although Daliang did not have the name of chief assistant, there is no doubt that this old man who is nearing the end of his life has the reality of chief assistant.

Even if his days are numbered, as long as he can stand in the court soberly, many ministers will seriously consider his suggestions.

So when the veteran minister spoke, Emperor Kaiping said gently: "It's all in the public eye, but it doesn't matter."

Mo Haoli stood up slowly, first looked at Wang Pingzhang and said, "Wei Guogong, I still remember that you led the army to the south, from Qinzhou to the Tiancang River, beheaded [-] to [-] people, and wiped out almost all the families of the Southern Dynasty. Half, right?"

Wang Pingzhang's heart sank, and he said humbly: "Jun Xinggong is well-informed and knowledgeable, and I am far behind."

Mo Haoli smiled and said: "Although I am old and weak, I will never forget this important event. Back then, the Duke of Wei regained thousands of miles of land, nearly four states, so he was granted the title of Lord of the Duke. Pei Yue... indeed Uncommon, but the old man heard correctly just now, in the battle of the southern border, it was Baoding Bo Caiqian who defended Jiangling, and Pudinghou Chen Huan captured Hanyang, right?"

Wang Pingzhang could only nod his head and say, "Yes."

Mo Haoli said leisurely: "It's really not easy to get the hundred-mile territory on the south bank, but compared with Wei Guogong's achievements in the past, Pei Yue is still a little worse in becoming the king, not to mention that the other generals of the Southern Army have contributed a lot, so it's not good to attribute it all He's all over him."

He turned his head to look at Xue Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, his dim old eyes seemed to be out of focus, and he asked calmly, "What does Shangshu Xue think?"

Xue Ji subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forced a smile and said: "What the ruling lord said is true."

Mo Haoli smiled, and looked at those people who jumped out earlier, and those who were caught by his gaze lowered their heads in fear, only to hear him sigh softly: "As for you... just, I don't want to be in Shuowang University. Swearing at others, can you really not tolerate this kid Pei Yue? Do you have to use such a clumsy method to deal with him?"

Everyone was taken aback, shaking their heads in denial.

Mo Haoli hunched over and coughed a few times, Luo Ting stepped forward to support him with a concerned face, but he was firmly pushed away, and then said with a vicissitudes of life: "I know why you do this, one is because you are jealous of Pei Yue being so young You are full of credit, and you are appointed as a marquis at the age of eighteen or nineteen. It is human nature to be jealous, but you are not peddlers, but officials of the court who are anointed by the people. How can you blindly decide what you like and dislike? Of?"

He raised his hand to caress his chest, and continued: "Secondly, it is nothing more than that Pei Yue is in power at a young age, and you are worried that there will be an uncontrolled powerful minister, who may even threaten the safety of the Tian family. I want to ask you In a word, if Pei Yue really had the heart of disobedience, how could he have dared to rush into the main formation of the [-] troops of the Southern Dynasty with only [-] cavalry at the last moment of the Jiangling Battle?"

What he said left the ministers speechless.

Court disputes can never be cut off, but most of the time they are all insinuations, very few people break it apart like Mo Haoli and speak clearly.Only with his identity and status can he not cause commotion, even Emperor Kaiping on the dragon chair listened quietly.

Mo Haoli sighed: "The imperial court should act in an upright manner, so that people in the world can be convinced. If you are afraid that Pei Yue's mind is not pure, then watch him carefully to see if he has colluded with the party in the army, and the property under his name Whether it violates the law or not, and whether the people in his mansion are acting inappropriately, this is what you should do. The Holy Son of Heaven, as long as Pei Yue is loyal to Daliang, how can you frame the pillars of the dynasty for no reason?"

In the end, his eyes returned to Xue Ji's face, and the old man's eyes suddenly showed a sharp look, and he said in a deep voice: "If the old man finds out that there are people who want to do old things that are unnecessary, I will definitely report to the Holy Spirit to punish you!"

Xue Ji was terrified, trembling and unable to speak.

Mo Haoli withdrew his gaze, turned to Emperor Kaiping and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is finished."

Emperor Kaiping looked at the veteran of the four dynasties quietly. He couldn't understand that the other party's words were reprimanding Xue Ji and others on the surface, but they were actually admonishing himself.

He never doubted Mo Haoli's loyalty, and believed that this old minister was thinking of Daliang, but Mo Haoli was old after all, and he was no longer as comprehensive and calm in thinking about issues as before.

People's hearts are changeable, today's Pei Yue is loyal, but with the passage of time and the stability of his authority, how can he know that he will not have unreasonable thoughts?Even if he doesn't have it, will the people around him have it?

Of course Emperor Kaiping had the confidence to control Pei Yue, but he had already known his destiny. If he didn't make complete preparations in advance, how would his successors deal with the fledgling Pei Yue in the future?
Of course, he will not veto Mo Haoli's suggestion at this time, the other ministers don't care, this old minister must give face.

So he turned his head to look at Hou Yu, nodded slightly, and then heard the high-pitched voice of the eunuch: "Your Majesty has a decree, Zhongshan Hou Peiyue has outstanding military achievements, and is loyal to the country. He will give food to a thousand households and grant him the title of official." General Zhaowu of the first rank, promoted to the head of the Huwei Camp of the Beijing Army, a reward of 3000 taels, 5 taels of silver, and an official residence in Taipingfang, Dongcheng."

Pei Yue felt awe-inspiring, the emperor obviously had a plan long ago, but he just wanted to see the attitude of the officials towards this matter, which was also in line with his long-standing habits.

He took a step forward, saluted and said: "Chen Pei Yue, take the order to thank you!"

At this point, Kaiping's last six-year lunar dynasty has come to an end.

Emperor Kaiping got up and walked towards the back of the palace, Hou Yu said loudly, "Retire!"

This time, the emperor did not let Pei Yue stay alone again.

Mo Haoli's wrinkled face was calm, but he sighed softly in his heart.
