Invincible son

Chapter 908 907 [Sit and watch the clouds rise]

Liu Xian wanted to make some fun when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, the smile on his face gradually froze.

Since the relationship between him and Pei Yue turned good at the beginning of the year, he has become more and more interested in the information of this young dignitary, collecting painstakingly through various channels. Not only did he know that Pei Yue used two poems to persuade a group of literati in Lingzhou, but he also repeatedly After reading the two new poems written by Pei Yue in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I can't put it down.

Judging from those poems, Pei Yue really deserves the title of literati.

Thinking of this, Liu Xian couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "This king still underestimated you."

Pei Yue took advantage of the situation and said, "But many people overestimate me."

Liu Xian choked slightly, the sharpness in Pei Yue's words made him a little uncomfortable.

In the past year since he entered the court to watch politics, under the guidance of Concubine Wu, he learned how to deal with the ministers in the court, and gradually got used to the cloudy way of speaking of those people.Sitting down with Pei Yue again, the style of this person's speech is like a ladle of ice water in winter, which makes people feel the chill from the inside out.

Pei Yue was not a scholar in essence, but a leading general whose hands had been stained with countless blood, even his calm tone could bring out a sense of chill.

Liu Xian's visit today is to act as a lobbyist for the imperial concubine in the palace. He believes that Pei Yue must know his purpose of coming, so he plans to get closer first, talk about friendship, and then test it out.

Just judging from Pei Yue's reaction, the other party obviously didn't want to waste time.

Before he knew it, the dignified Prince's aura was slightly at a disadvantage.

Liu Xian didn't want to get into the topic from the very beginning. Obviously Pei Yue refused to accept the marriage arrangement, otherwise the emperor would have given the will directly, so there was no need to make a trip by himself, so he changed the subject: "Speaking of it, The king has to thank you."

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Your Highness's words have killed me."

Liu Xian shook his head and said, "It's not that this king is exaggerating. Without your escort all the way, the princess will inevitably complain. A few days ago, the king sent someone to visit you. Thank you."

Pei Yue felt relieved, and then developed a good impression of Princess Qinghe. Although her actions would not affect the overall situation, it would save him the trouble of changing the subject. Moreover, he was also curious, so he asked: "Your Highness, I don't know if I should ask a question..."

Liu Xian quickly came to his senses and said calmly, "I know what you want to ask. In fact, this matter is not as complicated as you think, and my father didn't punish me for it. Pei Yue, when you were in the capital of the Southern Dynasty , Did you exchange marriage certificates with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty on behalf of your father?"

Pei Yue nodded, and at the same time roughly understood the other party's thoughts.

Liu Xiandao: "Since the two countries have exchanged marriage certificates, Princess Qinghe is the concubine of this king. As for the fact that the Southern Dynasty provoked a war and the two countries met each other, what does this have to do with her being a weak woman? If this king ignores her, Then even if she returns to the Southern Dynasties, she cannot escape the fate of being accompanied by the ancient Qingdeng Buddha for a lifetime."

He paused for a while, and then said seriously: "At the beginning, the emperor decided to agree to the marriage request of the Southern Dynasty. On the one hand, he wanted to restore the title of prince for me, and on the other hand, it might be related to the border situation. I don't know if you still remember, that will I also asked your opinion on this matter."

In Pei Yue's mind, the heart-to-heart talk between himself and Liu Xian in the bamboo building that day.

Looking at the sincere expression on the eldest prince's face, Pei Yue didn't care about his sudden change of claim, his sharp eyes were slightly disrespectful, but he still looked at Liu Xian like this, and asked seriously: "Your Highness, if the court officials don't Are you willing to accept a Southern Zhou princess as your princess?"

Liu Xian frowned and said, "Why?"

Pei Yue sat up straight slowly, and said frankly: "If it's just Princess Lu, maybe they can turn a blind eye, but what if Princess Qinghe becomes the crown princess? Furthermore, will the people of Daliang Accept a princess of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to become the head of the harem? Can you accept that there will be a prince with the blood of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in the future?"

The atmosphere in the hall became solemn and cold, almost suffocating.

Liu Xian was silent.

Pei Yue's three questions were bold and sharp, and they contained too much profound meaning.

After a long time, Liu Xian raised his head and looked directly into Pei Yue's eyes, and said very firmly: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the iron law of the heavenly family."

A smile gradually appeared on Pei Yue's face, and he asked again: "If the princess gives birth to a son in the future, how will His Highness arrange it?"

Liu Xian pondered: "Father is in the prime of his life, so there will be no such hidden worries for the time being. Even if that day does come, as long as Daliang regains his homeland in the southern border and the world is unified, naturally there will be no problems that you worry about."

Looking at his resolute attitude, Pei Yue secretly felt mixed emotions, because he saw Liu Xian's true heart, and at the same time, he saw a ray of idealism in this eldest prince.

There are clues in the past, for example, when the fourth prince ordered Ning Fengzhi to manipulate the assassination, Liu Xian defended Princess Pingyang against all the charges without hesitation, so much so that he lost the title of prince.

If his former princess hadn't committed suicide because of the Qibao Pavilion case, if Pei Yue hadn't stopped Pei Yun's plan to send Pei Ning to Lu Palace in time, if Fang Yunhu hadn't caused the two countries to confront each other, if it hadn't been for the need for an adult prince to come forward for the marriage, Emperor Kaiping would not have been able to take advantage of the situation Restoring Liu Xian's title would naturally prevent him from participating in the battle for the crown prince.

A drink and a peck are all decided by God.

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "If Princess Qinghe hadn't married Daliang far away, His Highness would indeed have to continue living in the Fuguo General's Mansion."

Liu Xian nodded and said, "So I want to continue this marriage."

Pei Yue suddenly realized that Emperor Kaiping didn't stop the marriage. Liu Xian was accused of murdering a minister before. If the marriage marriage is stopped, his prince will probably attract criticism from the second prince's family.

Only by carrying this marriage to the end can Liu Xian maintain his dignity as a prince in a legitimate way. Moreover, now that Liang Zhou is negotiating peace on the border, the continuation of the marriage process will not cause opposition from the courtiers.

As for his questioning of Liu Xian just now, it is obviously not a problem for Emperor Kaiping. As long as the dust of the crown prince battle is settled and Liu Xian's status is stabilized, what is a mere princess worth?
Looking at the history books of Huanghuang, it is not uncommon for the queen of the palace to be deposed.

Pei Yue withdrew his fluttering thoughts, tried not to let the chill in his heart show, and said with a little admiration: "Your Highness is a person who is truly passionate."

Liu Xiandao: "This is just the duty I should fulfill."

Pei Yue said with emotion: "Throughout the ages, countless people have abandoned their wives and children for the sake of fame and wealth. How many people are as consistent as Your Highness? In my opinion, as long as Your Highness can not forget the original intention, the position of the crown prince will not be forgotten. distant!"

Liu Xian froze in place.

His perception of Pei Yue has gone through a long process of change, from the annoyance of the Qibao Pavilion dispute at the beginning, to the change in the matter of Princess Pingyang, and then to fighting side by side in the case of the four princes' treason, he discovered Pei Yue little by little. With Yue Yue's abilities and strengths, he gradually hoped to get the support of this young dignitary.

Not only because of Pei Yue's strength, but more importantly because of his appreciation of his character.

But there was always a gap between the two, and the battle for the crown prince was too sensitive, so when Pei Yue made his statement, Liu Xian was not even mentally prepared.

Pei Yue stood up and saluted, "If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, I'd like to do my best!"

Liu Xian finally understood the meaning of Pei Yue's words just now. If he is unwilling to accept Princess Qinghe, does it mean that he will consider himself a cold-blooded and heartless person?

Coupled with Pei Yue's consistent emphasis on the people around him, as well as the extremely complicated and ever-changing relationship between him and his father, Liu Xian's heart was full of twists and turns. A more real understanding.

He quickly got up and helped Pei Yue up, and said inexplicably with admiration: "With your support, my trip today is worthwhile."

Pei Yue smiled slightly. If Emperor Kaiping was present at this time, he would definitely not have said it in such a simple way. It can be seen that the eldest prince has not experienced enough.

After the two sat down again, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
