Invincible son

Chapter 926 925 [How many things have happened in ancient and modern times]

The wedding banquet was very lively, but because of the presence of the empress, the dignitaries in the hall seemed a bit cautious.

Not long after Mo Haoli retired due to illness, Emperor Kaiping asked Empress Chen to return to the palace first, and then said to Pei Yue, "You can walk with me."

This is also what should be in the title. Pei Yue knows well that the emperor brought Empress Chen to be his high hall today, so that his wedding ceremony can have a very perfect end, and at the same time, he will reward the two in the name of the empress. Yu Ruyi, who is extremely precious to the newcomer, definitely hopes to take this opportunity to settle the previous things.

The Hou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, creating a peaceful and festive atmosphere, but there were many vigorous figures appearing in the open and in the dark.

Pei Yue has always been cautious, although under normal circumstances no one would make trouble on his wedding day, but he must be prepared, so today in the mansion apart from the soldiers, there are also some soldiers transferred from Qinyuan and Xiangyun guard.

It's just that after the empress arrived, the defense of the entire front yard was taken over by the palace guards, and the overall protection was airtight, not even a bird could fly in.

The two monarchs and ministers strolled into the flower hall, followed by a group of palace officials and eunuchs from a distance.

Emperor Kaiping looked at the elegant furnishings in the mansion, and said calmly: "You don't seem to welcome my arrival."

Pei Yue was taken aback for a moment, and then he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I have wronged my minister."

Emperor Kaiping raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "After the court meeting last year, didn't you already make up your mind to draw a clear line with me?"

Pei Yue sighed lightly, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, I'm just a little surprised. I thought that even if His Majesty wanted to come, he would bring the imperial concubine to come, but I didn't expect that it was the empress who came."

After he clarified his heart with the First Prince, he had advocating for the First Prince some time ago and achieved very good results, the palace should be well aware of this.Since the emperor hoped that he could become the eldest prince's supporter, he should bring Wu Guifei here today. Why did Empress Chen appear?
And let Empress Chen award two jade ruyis, what kind of precious favor is this?

In this way, wouldn't Pei Yue be caught in the middle, how can he attack the second prince in the future?

Emperor Kaiping was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Pei Yue to be so honest in front of him after experiencing the previous suppression. Can't figure out why?"

Pei Yue was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the emperor blankly.

Emperor Kaiping was amused, and after sitting down, he pointed to the teapot on the table, and then pointed out: "The empress is the lord of the six palaces, of course I have to show her face, how can I avoid her in such a formal occasion? You think I can Like you, you can do whatever you want, and act recklessly if you don’t want to? If I bring Concubine Wu to your high hall tonight, tomorrow there will be a group of people impeaching you, maybe even I won’t be able to avoid it.”

Pei Yue was stunned, and while pouring tea for Emperor Kaiping, he said with an embarrassed smile: "I haven't listened to His Majesty's reprimand and teaching for a long time, and I have indeed become stupid again."

Emperor Kaiping took the teacup, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Yue smiled and sat down generously.

Emperor Kaiping sighed in his heart. Aside from the threat of a potential minister to the imperial power of the Tian family, he really liked this young courtier in front of him, because he was not only loyal and capable, but also able to make him, the Supreme, feel a rare kinship.

Since ancient times, emperors have always been lonely, and even princes have to be guarded against. Emperor Kaiping naturally understood this truth.

But maybe he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Pei Yue, a courtier, always made him feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Emperor Kaiping sighed softly: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, I can't do whatever I want, and I have to consider all aspects of influence. For example, even if I want to bring Wu Guifei here today, I must also take into account the empress's dignity, and I must also care about this. It will cause repercussions. Although it is only a simple trip out of the palace, and it is still in the capital, the imperial army and court guards must make detailed arrangements."

Pei Yue was silent when he heard the words.

In fact, the emperor had never been so straightforward as at this moment, obviously he didn't want him to misunderstand the deep meaning of the words.

He couldn't help but think of the old man's sincere reminder when he sent Mo Haoli away just now.

Mo Haoli understood the emperor's temperament better than him, since the emperor and empress arrived quietly, the old man could clearly see Emperor Kaiping's intentions, so he had those words of persuasion.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was very peaceful, and time passed quietly.

Pei Yue raised his head slowly, and said with some difficulty: "Your Majesty, I'm not greedy for power, but I just can't accept being white again."

Emperor Kaiping breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and asked, "Why?"

Pei Yue said sincerely: "I have offended too many people over the years, and I have too much wealth in my hands. If I hand over all my authority, of course your Majesty will be able to protect me, but... say something outrageous After a hundred years from His Majesty, how can I protect myself and my relatives? Those people will tear me up and swallow them into my stomach without blinking an eye."

Emperor Kaiping asked curiously: "Don't you trust Liu Xian's character very much? If not, you wouldn't help him move around during this period of time."

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, people will always change."

Emperor Kaiping looked at the anxiety and sadness in his eyes, and finally realized a problem that should not be ignored.

It seems that the previous suppression has already hurt the heart of this young courtier.

In fact, according to common sense, as a king, he doesn't need to care about the thoughts of his subjects, they only need to accept and obey.However, Pei Yue is different after all. It can be said that he is a confidant who was single-handedly drawn up by Emperor Kaiping. Moreover, judging from his past deeds, this young courtier is very different from others.

From the time when he offered honeycomb briquettes only to keep the market of Xiangyun in the capital, to all his choices later, it can be seen very clearly that Pei Yue's loyalty and selfishness are not hidden.

He is willing to dedicate his strength to Tianjia and Daliang, but he never hides that he wants to keep his future.

Loyal, but not foolish.

The most important thing is that he dared to express his heart in front of the emperor.

Emperor Kaiping secretly sighed, what kind of experience could have created Pei Yue's peculiar temperament, which was different from all the courtiers in this world.

Thinking of this, he asked solemnly: "Since people will change, will you change? Although I used to laugh at you for not having ink in your stomach, I know that you like to read history. Looking at the brilliant history books, the dynasty at its peak At that time, everyone is a loyal minister, and when the situation changes, there will be countless traitors, such people are not uncommon."

Pei Yue looked into the emperor's radiant eyes and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people. The people live and work in peace and contentment. It is a foregone conclusion that the Great Liang will bring peace to the world. No one can change this general trend. There are countless chaotic officials and thieves in history books, but no one has ever been able to stand in front of you." Under such circumstances, the rebellion is successful. Could it be that I can rebel and take over the world by relying on [-] cavalry in the Tibetan Front Guard?"

Emperor Kaiping suddenly laughed.

Pei Yue sighed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have wanted to say these words for a long time. Now that I am a first-class prince, I may be able to get a Duke in the future. It can be said to be extremely noble. And I have endless flowers. I don’t know how comfortable and comfortable my life is, and I’m full and want to think about a rebellion that has no chance of success?”

Emperor Kaiping said gently: "But you are still very young."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "As long as Your Majesty doesn't increase the titles of vassals, doesn't promote the military ranks of ministers, and let the ministers do things for Daliang in a down-to-earth manner, what will be the problem?"

"childish."

Emperor Kaiping approved a sentence, but the smile in his eyes was undisguised, and then he said: "Actually, I have never doubted your loyalty, but as you said, people will always change, so I have to do something. arrange."

He paused, and said solemnly: "Pei Yue, I have never said these words to a courtier, you must not let me down."

Pei Yue heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Please give orders, Your Majesty."
