Invincible son

"Boy of the Pei family, would you like to help the old man?"

At the end of the court meeting, when all the officials left the hall with their own thoughts, Mo Haoli's old voice sounded.

Pei Yue and Gu Liang looked at each other, seeing the latter blinking calmly, he smiled and said, "This is the honor of the younger generation."

He supported Mo Haoli's right wrist and walked out, the old and the young seemed particularly harmonious.The ministers next to him all had smiles on their faces, but they found it hard to understand in their hearts, and even Wang Pingzhang who was not far away felt a little jealous.

He knew Pei Yue's affairs very well, and he probably knew the reason why those noble civil servants stood up to speak for Pei Yue today.

Charcoal Temple was established because of briquettes, and when Jian Rong impeached the eldest prince, Pei Yue helped him, so it's not surprising that he would support him today.As for Sheng Duanming, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, this old pedant can be called the representative of Qingliu, and he is not the kind of hypocrite who seeks fame.This year he followed Pei Yue as an envoy to the Southern Zhou Dynasty and experienced the war in person. After being moved by Pei Yue, it was in line with his temperament that he was willing to use his wealth and life as a guarantee.

Wang Pingzhang was puzzled by two things.

One is Luo Ting's unexpected persistence, which was very obvious when Pei Yue impeached Pei Yun. It seems that despite the friendship between the ruler and Gu Liang, the relationship between him and Pei Yue himself is also intriguing. Have someone investigate carefully.

The second is Mo Haoli's care for Pei Yue.

Wang Pingzhang counted everyone's reactions, except that Mo Haoli would drag his old body to participate in the Shuo Wang Dynasty, and even help Emperor Kaiping decide his mind at the most critical moment.

In fact, after a group of civil servants spoke, Wang Pingzhang had already keenly realized that Pei Yue had become a major trend now, and Emperor Kaiping was very likely to change his original intention, directly appoint Pei Yue as the Duke of the State, and then cut his flesh with a blunt knife.

It's just that he has calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that Mo Haoli would make a sudden move. He still can't understand how Pei Yue climbed this big tree?
If he were allowed to go back to the beginning of this year, after Mo Haoli fell ill, and listen to the secret conversation between the veteran of the four dynasties and Pei Yue, maybe he could solve the doubts in his heart.

The end of the court meeting was close to noon, which was the warmest time of the day, especially today when the sun was shining brightly, driving away the chill in the air.

Mo Haoli has been silent all the way, so Pei Yue can naturally hold his breath.It wasn't until the two of them walked out of Chengtian Palace and strolled in the vast square in front of the palace that no one was approaching, Mo Haoli opened his mouth slowly, but the words he spoke in a flat tone were like thunder.

"Boy of the Pei family, how sure do you think you will be if you rebel?"

Pei Yue was almost slapped on the wall by these words, and seeing the gentle expression on the old man's face, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Why do you want to scare the younger generation, sir?"

"frighten?"

Mo Haoli smiled slightly, and asked with great interest: "If you don't intend to rebel, why ruin Pei Yun's future? As far as I know, you and the eldest daughter of Dingguo still have a sister-sibling relationship, so you have never met each other." The people of the Pei family killed me. Because of this, you have been holding Pei Yun's handle but you haven't taken it out. If His Majesty didn't want Pei Yun to enter Zhan Shifu, you probably wouldn't have taken it out. After all, you just don't want to Willing to accept His Majesty's marriage arrangement, does this not prove that you want to rebel?"

Since coming to this world, Pei Yue has deceived many people with his superb acting skills and careful thinking, but there are a few people he has been very afraid of. The old man beside him is one of them. above.

I still remember that when he fought back against the eldest prince, Mo Haoli saw through his plan at a glance.Later, when the old man fell ill, he accurately calculated the situation in the southern border more than half a year later.

Today, how dare Pei Yue underestimate this 68-year-old man?

Fortunately, he is not Wuxia Amon. After too many bombings by Emperor Kaiping, Pei Yue has tempered his steel-like will, and continued to smile wryly: "My lord is serious. Pei Yun has not only calculated I am still trying to use my eldest sister's marriage as my promotion, I can tolerate him studying in the Imperial Academy, but I absolutely cannot accept him becoming a subject of the crown prince."

Mo Haoli was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "Comparing my heart to my heart, if the old man was in your position, most likely he would not accept his fate. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take a risk."

Pei Yue thought for a while and said calmly: "My lord, when you asked me why I insisted on going south, I still have the same answer today. If I can save my comrades from dying, then I am willing to lead the army, even if it will Therefore, it caused the suspicion of His Majesty and the criticism of the princes in the court."

This reply seemed to be off topic, but Mo Haoli nodded, and then asked curiously: "Why don't you care about the casualties of those soldiers in the Southern Dynasty?"

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "My lord, this junior is not so fraternal. All the achievements and wealth that this junior has achieved today are all given by His Majesty and the people of Daliang, so we must repay this kindness as much as possible. Of course, if the people of the Southern Dynasty also become the people of Daliang in the future, the younger generation will treat them equally."

Mo Haoli suddenly laughed softly, but he did not hide the joy and satisfaction in his heart.

After the laughter stopped, he said slowly: "If you think about rebelling, the chance of winning is less than [-]%. There are many people who support you at the court meeting today, but as long as you dare to raise the flag of rebellion, they will immediately become yours." Enemies. Even if Luo Ting and Gu Liang are close friends, he will not be your arm, let alone stubborn people like Jian Rong and Sheng Duanming. As for the army, except for the Tibetan Front Guard under your command, and Gongcheng of the South Camp in Nanjing Town Hou Guoxing, plus the children of the Gu family at most, it is impossible for a single soldier to follow you."

Although the old man's eyes were extremely vicious, Pei Yue still said firmly: "My lord, this junior has never thought of doing this, but just hopes to have the ability to protect himself."

Mo Haoli said softly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, how can a minister have the power of self-determination?"

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, and said sincerely: "So the younger generation should learn from the elder."

A look of surprise flashed across Mo Haoli's eyes, and he immediately raised his left hand to pat the back of Pei Yue's hand, and sighed softly: "Pei Yue, whether you really think so, or just pretend to be perfunctory like me, a dying person, you will One thing to understand is that you must uphold righteousness and honor in everything. The king is the king and the minister is the minister, don't go to the point where there is no redemption."

Pei Yue said slowly: "The younger generation will remember the adults' teachings."

Mo Haoli coughed again, his face flushed slightly, and he said sadly: "At the beginning you said to the old man that you wanted to try your best to be a useful person to Daliang. I hope you can remember your promise. Because of your words, the old man I decided to come out and block it for you today, but..."

This time he was talking about Liang, not His Majesty.

Looking at his thin and old face, Pei Yue couldn't help feeling sad.

Passing through the long doorway of Chengtianmen, Mo Haoli stopped, with complicated emotions in his eyes, looked at Pei Yue and continued: "You are only 19 years old this year, and there is still a long way to go, but I hope you can walk steadily. , walk steadily. Being old is useless, and I can no longer protect you like today."

"Jun Xing Gong..."

Pei Yue's eyes were slightly red, he is not a fool, how could he fail to understand the exhortation, expectation and protection in the old man's words?

Mo Haoli forced a smile, pulled away the hand that Pei Yue was supporting, and said softly, "I can do it myself."

Then turned away.

Pei Yue watched him board the carriage and leave with the help of his servants. After standing still for a long time, he walked towards the long-awaited soldiers on the side of the street.

Feng Yi looked at his young master's gloomy face, stepped forward and asked, "Master, go back home?"

Pei Yue exhaled foul breath, raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Guangping Hou's Mansion."

……

Guangping Marquis Mansion, back house.

A servant girl came in with small steps and said with a happy face: "Madam, Miss, Master Pei is here!"

Gu Zhen immediately stood up, and then realized something was wrong, turned her head to look at the smiling Zhao, and couldn't help but sit back shyly.

"What are you so anxious about, kid? There's only one more month left, and you won't be able to see him every day by then?" Zhao joked.

Gu Zhen refused to say: "Mother..."

Mrs. Zhao patted her hand and said to the servant girl: "Go ahead and tell the master that you want to stay with brother Yue for dinner. Today I will cook by myself."

"Yes, ma'am." The servant girl backed away with a smile.

Gu Zhen pretended not to hear anything, but she couldn't hide the tenderness in her eyes, but if she saw the scene in the study outside at this moment, she might be shocked.

Gu Liang and Pei Yue sat facing each other, and there was no one else in the study.

The atmosphere was solemn and stern, which was even more shocking than the previous court meeting.

Gu Liang said in a deep voice: "Zuo Zhizheng is right. You have no chance of winning if you directly rebel now, but this does not mean that you have to appoint someone to choke your throat. Brother Yue, there are some things that can be prepared in advance .”

Pei Yue pondered for a long time, the light in his eyes gradually became firmer, he nodded and said, "Okay."
