Invincible son

Chapter 929 928 [In the silent place]

The first month of the lunar year has quietly gone, and Kyoto has returned to the busy and noisy scene of the past.

Pei Yue's wedding was a perfect end to this new year, and related discussions lasted for several days.Whether it is grand or extravagant, it is just a talk in people's spare time after all, and everyone needs to continue to face the pressure of life.

To the southwest of the imperial palace, there is a group of blue-gray buildings, which is the official office of Taishitai Pavilion.Many people have misunderstood it because of its name, and after a little understanding, they are full of awe here.

From the beginning of the Gaozu Dynasty to the present for nearly a hundred years, relying on the trust of the king and its own efforts, Taishitai Pavilion has gradually become an existence that has changed the face of all officials.Although at the end of the Taizong Dynasty, the Tian family began to develop Luan Yiwei secretly, and it became more and more unfathomable in the hands of Emperor Kaiping, but in terms of the integrity of functions and the far-reaching tentacles, Luan Yiwei still could not compete with Taige. on a par.

Taige Nine Departments, the cadres are in charge of the supervision of Beijing officials, the Kun Department is responsible for detecting civil movements, the Li Department is in charge of prisons and suspect interrogation, the Dui Department is responsible for assassination and protection, and the Kan Department is responsible for the supervision of officials in the following states. The Xun, Zhen and other ministries performed their respective duties, forming an airtight and extremely perfect organizational structure.

For the officials inside the Taiwan cabinet, what they fear most are those colleagues in the central part who have been expressionless all the year round, because these people are in charge of internal supervision.

The principal of the central part is extremely mysterious, and he has the aura of a dragon who sees his head but doesn't see his end. Only Zuo Lingchen and Mo Yunyun have known his details.

Lin He has been in the central region for nearly a year, and he has not met his immediate superior until now.

But he behaved very calmly, never inquired about news that had nothing to do with him, he did his best to complete his tasks, and kept a rare humble and gentle attitude, which was slightly different from the central part's usual style of conduct, and gradually won the stage. The recognition and respect of government officials from other ministries.

Every day at the beginning of the hour, Lin Hehui walked into the blue-gray building on time, and would not leave until the key was released.

This afternoon, when Lin He was reviewing a file, a confidant hurried in, closed the door tightly, walked to Lin He and whispered: "My lord, I found something."

Lin He asked unhurriedly, "What's the matter?"

The confidant said excitedly: "My lord asked us to watch the back alley of Qinyuan earlier. We found out that someone was transferred away a few years ago. It was only because Pei Yue's men were too vigilant. They walked around the city for a long time and finally got rid of us. eyeliner."

Lin He said calmly: "Could it be that after nearly two months, you found clues outside the city again?"

The confidant was slightly suffocated, and then said with shame: "My lord, calm down, we will work harder in the future."

Lin He frowned and said, "Let's get to the point."

The confidant lowered his head and said: "My lord, do you still remember that maid named Nongyu?"

Lin He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were extremely sharp.

The confidant didn't dare to look at her, and continued: "After the turmoil in Xingyang City that night, according to Pei Yue's report afterwards, that maid was Chen Xizhi's, but not only did she not die, she appeared in the capital instead!"

Lin He said seriously: "Are you sure you read it right?"

The confidant said solemnly: "I have seen the maid in Xingyang before, and I am sure that I will not be mistaken. This morning, I saw her leave the back door of the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion with my own eyes, and then went out of the city to the north under the protection of more than ten experts. Go to the suburbs."

The anger in Lin He's heart boiled suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did you find out where she is this time?"

The confidant nodded quickly and said, "How dare this subordinate disappoint you again? Although those masters are very vigilant, this subordinate and two companions have followed from a distance, and finally confirmed that they settled not far from the north of the Shouyang Mountain Mine. Subordinate Let the companions continue to stare there, and then rush back to report to the adults."

Lin He closed his eyes and meditated, and it took a long time before he calmed down from his excitement.

A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of his confidant, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, Wang Pingzhang has always suspected that Chen Xizhi is not dead. Now it seems that she is very likely to be hidden by Pei Yue in the northern suburbs. As long as this matter is exposed, both Pei Yue and Chen Xizhi will die." There is no doubt that he must die!"

Lin He raised his hand and tapped the table lightly, his face seemed calm, but his tone was already very hasty: "No hurry, no hurry. Your Majesty's trust in Pei Yue has not completely collapsed, and now is the key to the dust of the crown prince being settled. During this period, both His Majesty and the First Prince need Pei Yue's full support. If you make a rash move at this time, if you fail to get evidence, you will be beaten by Pei Yue instead. This person is best at this kind of trick."

The confidant hesitated and said: "If Pei Yue transfers those people away again, it may be difficult for us to catch him."

Lin He pondered and said: "I am not the only one who wants to deal with Pei Yue. In this way, you will lead people to watch over there, and I will contact all the forces in the capital as soon as possible, and directly kill the person who comes over and get the stolen goods. Even if Pei Yue's tongue is full of lotus flowers, he can be punished for a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The confidant bowed and replied: "Yes, my lord."

Lin He waved his hands, signaling his confidants to back down. He looked at the stacked files on the table, and a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

……

The next day, when the sky was twilight.

A carriage left from Zhongshanhou's Mansion and drove towards the imperial city under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers.

Pei Yue closed his eyes and rested, while Deng Zai sat beside him and reported at a leisurely pace: "Master, a secret postal route with Lingzhou has been established, and two postal routes with Qinzhou in the south have also been connected. According to the Judging from the returns, Wang Yong's progress in Xingyang City is very smooth, and the governor of Tang Dynasty has given them great help, and the company and warehouse are already under construction."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and asked, "How is the situation in the southern border?"

Deng Zai said: "Seven out of the thirteen groups have arrived in Chengjing, and the money has been successfully delivered to Mr. Xi. The remaining six groups are expected to arrive in the next few days because of the long distance."

Pei Yue smiled with satisfaction, and asked again: "Did someone follow you yesterday?"

Deng Zai said in awe: "The young master is really clever and clever. There are indeed people following all the way, and their whereabouts are very secret. If General Fu did not lead the team himself, we may not be able to find those people. It's just that we can't confirm the identities of those people yet."

Pei Yue said calmly: "This is Fu Hongzhi's talent. You don't have to envy him. After all, everyone has their own strengths. There are too many flies in the city. I can't imitate His Majesty's confident style, so I have to throw some bait. See if you can catch some big fish. By the way, did Nongyu have any unusual reactions during this trip?"

Deng Zai shook his head and said: "No, even that Miss Chen is very cooperative, and she also said that the young master will definitely get what he wants this time."

"This woman..." Pei Yue shook his head, and changed the topic: "There are a lot of eyeliners staring at the Zhongshan Houfu now, even if Nongyu is not allowed to go this way, you can still attract the attention of those who care about you by pretending. Next you Let Beiwei camp be prepared, the pockets are already open, and the net may be drawn at any time."

Deng Zai responded, "Yes, young master."

He thought for a while, looked at Pei Yue's stern eyes and asked respectfully: "Master, if someone really touched the small courtyard in the northern suburbs, how far should we go?"

Pei Yue said slowly: "First cut off the hand that touched it, and then follow the vine to solve the confidants cultivated by the enemy secretly."

Deng Zai said in a deep voice, "Follow the order!"

When the carriage arrived outside the south gate of the imperial city, Pei Yue walked down calmly and glanced at the twilight in the sky.

Because of the preparations for the wedding, the emperor allowed him to stay out of court for the entire first month, and now it's the beginning of February, so he can't stay in the mansion to accompany his family all the time, especially today is the first lunar month.

In the Chengtian Palace, the emperor came, and the officials shouted long live.

The atmosphere of today's court meeting seemed a little weird. Many courtiers looked at Pei Yue from time to time, as if they were curious about the happy life of the bridegroom official, but Pei Yue was keenly aware of some malicious eyes.

"Ah……"

He sneered subtly.

The direction of the wind in the capital for more than a month is elusive, but Pei Yue is very clear that as he shows his banner to support the First Prince, he will inevitably become the target of public criticism.Especially since I have never been in court during this period of time, some people must have been waiting very anxiously, collecting a lot of charges and preparing to attack and impeach him.

However, Pei Yue will not give them another chance to mess around this time.

After the process of discussing government affairs was over, the hall fell into a brief silence. Just when someone was about to go out of work, a young and vigorous figure stood up before everyone else, and said loudly to the emperor: "Qi Zuo Your Majesty, my minister! Lu Gao, head of the Tuntian Department of the Ministry of Industry, has a book, please play it!"

Kaiping Emperor's calm voice came from above: "Come here."

The little-known Lu Gao took a deep breath, and said in a slightly trembling but resolute voice, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the position of crown prince is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be left vacant for a long time. Now that Western Wu and Southern Zhou suffered successive defeats, they can't take care of themselves." , I am devoted to the emperor, the sage, and the subjects. I should create an unprecedented prosperous age, and I should establish the position of prince as soon as possible. Now there is His Royal Highness King Lu, who is pure filial piety, sincerity, generosity and kindness. Often people are at their peak. At that time, they are all erected with different talents, handsome and cloudy, and compendium of Kunyao."

His voice echoed in the spacious hall.

Lu Gao knelt down and paid homage, and said loudly: "Therefore, I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to make King Lu the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace!"

There was a long silence in the hall.

Pei Yue looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
