Invincible son

Chapter 958 957 [The palace is deep]

After entering the palace for more than twenty years, Concubine Wu Gui put most of her energy on Emperor Kaiping, and she knew the temper of this supreme emperor very well. Seeing him sigh like this, she knew that something must happen in the court.

In fact, for a diligent emperor, such a situation is quite common. After all, Daliang has a vast territory and a prosperous population, and the government affairs can never be dealt with.

However, the Kaiping Imperial City Mansion is extremely deep, and generally such emotions would not be revealed in the harem.

Concubine Wu's eyes moved, and she gently persuaded: "Your Majesty, my concubine is a harem woman who doesn't understand the big things outside, and dare not speak indiscriminately. The concubine just feels that a courtier like Pei Yue is not unique, but It is extremely rare. He has done so many great things for His Majesty, and he is still loyal and above all, and he is not like those pedantic old masters who always use the truth to oppose His Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping snorted softly and said, "Even you are on his side now, so it can be seen that this guy's support for Liu Xian is not pure."

Concubine Wu Gui knew that the anger in his heart was a little lighter, so she naturally wouldn't feel apprehensive and fearful, and said with a coquettish smile: "Although the concubine has all kinds of delusions that she shouldn't have, but now that Xian'er has finally walked on the right path, the concubine, who is a mother, is naturally I'm happy. It's just... Your Majesty, the concubine sincerely recognizes Pei Yue's ability and loyalty, and hopes that in the future he will help His Majesty to settle down the world and build a foundation that will last forever."

Emperor Kaiping's eyes moved slightly, and it had to be said that Wu Guifei's words had tickled his heart.

The reason why he didn't completely eliminate Pei Yue's hidden danger was not that he was soft-hearted in his middle age, but that Pei Yue showed superior military talent in the two national wars. It would be a pity if such a magical weapon was destroyed in the capital .

Seeing that his expression gradually eased, Concubine Wu Gui said softly: "Your Majesty, if you use Pei Yue's standards to ask other ministers, I'm afraid you will be very disappointed."

Liu Yun's expression was complicated, and he said slowly: "Mother, it's not that I have never thought of doing this, but that guy Liu Fei has gone crazy and repeatedly made enemies with Pei Yue. He just pretends that I don't know about those things, But the son-in-law is not deaf and blind, so how could he be ignorant? Empress Mother, it is useless to worry about things now, so I can only take one step at a time, if that day really comes..."

Empress Chen retreated all the palace people, and there were only her and the second prince in the huge bedroom. Listening to her son's slightly excited statement, Empress Chen's beautiful eyebrows gradually frowned.

"Why do you want to get involved in the property under Pei Yue's name?" Empress Chen asked a little worried after hearing the promise made by the second prince.

Empress Chen recalled Wang Pingzhang's face that was always indifferent to emotion and anger, and thought of the young Pei Yue. She couldn't help sighing softly: "It's all because I can't give more help to the emperor, so you have to do it." It's dangerous. It's a pity that your elder brother took the lead, if you had Pei Yue's full support, why would you be in this situation now."

Emperor Kaiping briefly explained the content of the memorial he received today. This book was written by Shu Yi, the head of the Xuanhua Daying Camp. It mentioned that the barbarians from northern Xinjiang went south. Due to the strength of the Xuanhua camp, a military order was issued to wipe out the barbarians within a month.

Emperor Kaiping held her palm, with complicated meanings in his eyes, and said slowly: "Just now when I said that this child is not easy for Pei Yue, that's what I actually meant."

Liu Yun looked slightly embarrassed, and then smiled and said, "Mother, the servants know that the father prefers the elder brother, so they made some preparations in advance."

There were no outsiders in the palace, and Liu Yun's words were extremely straightforward when facing his mother, whom he absolutely trusted.

Emperor Kaiping continued: "Now it seems that the top priority is to decide on the candidate for the crown prince first, otherwise there will be changes sooner or later."

This sentence made Emperor Kaiping slightly surprised.

Concubine Wu Gui understood the emperor's subtext, but she did not show an expression of ecstasy. Instead, she looked at Emperor Kaiping with concern, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the court may not be ready yet."

Liu Yun smiled and said: "Mother, others may think that Pei Yue created those properties only for money, but my son doesn't think so."

Liu Yun said calmly: "Mother, if Pei Yue accepts the duke, he can only be a rich man far away from the center. In that case, no matter how much wealth he holds in his hands, it is normal. Conditions of life."

Empress Chen asked, "What's the difference?"

Emperor Kaiping sneered, "How could the barbarians organize thousands of troops without the intervention of external forces?"

Concubine Wu Gui knew the elegant meaning when she heard the string song, her eyes moved slightly and she said: "Your Majesty suspects that the sudden rise of these barbarians is related to some people in Daliang?"

In her mind, although Liu Yun was not as self-righteous as the fourth prince Liu Zan, he would definitely not be able to be so meticulous, so she had this question.

Looking back, I saw Concubine Wu Gui's expression was calm, her eyes were full of concern, the doubts in Emperor Kaiping's heart gradually faded, and he said calmly: "If they keep preparing, but I don't know what year and month it will be, how can I A lot of time is wasted.”

Concubine Wu Gui was slightly taken aback, and then looked at her husband in surprise, the supreme being in charge of the territory of Daliang Wanli.

Empress Chen was startled, subconsciously looked to the left and right, and then realized that there was no one else in the hall, she still couldn't hide her nervousness and asked: "My lord, who came up with the plan to ask you these things?"

Empress Chen has a gentle temperament and never refuses to make mistakes, but with such a temperament, it is a bit powerless to deal with the extremely complicated situation in the foreign court.She stared at Liu Yun's confident eyebrows, and asked with concern and concern: "My lord, who came up with such a strategy for you?"

Liu Yun said unhurriedly: "After these years of development, the Xiangyun has penetrated into the daily life of the people inside and outside the capital. If there is a problem with the Xiangyun, there will be turmoil in the capital. As for Qinyuan, my son Although the bamboo building has the power to resist, it is not as attractive to nobles. My minister has always been planning and planning for a long time when he sees Pei Yue's actions. The meaning of Xiangyun and Qinyuan must have been in his expected."

"What my concubine said is true. I received a memorial today, and I just find it ridiculous when I read it."

Even though he knew that the beauty in palace costume beside him was intelligent and quick-witted, he never expected that she would know so much about the court situation.

These words did not seem to be in line with his usual speech habits, but Concubine Wu Gui could understand the unfinished meaning of the emperor, and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, so there is no need to worry about it. The concubine is just worried that the congenital deficiency of the virtuous son may cause trouble. Come to the chaos in the court."

Nanxun Palace, Queen's bedroom.

……

While the emperor and concubine were expressing their hearts to each other, a conversation between the empress and the second prince was in progress.

Liu Yun was a little helpless, and then said frankly: "Mother, this is Wei Guogong's idea to my son. As long as you win these properties of Pei Yue in the capital, you can control a part of the wind in the capital. There is no need to worry about the mother. I will come forward in person, and all the silver has gone through several procedures, and even the Taishitai Pavilion can't find out about my son."

He signaled Empress Chen not to get excited with his eyes, and continued to talk eloquently: "Since Pei Yue is reluctant to part with the power in his hand, and mobilizes all the power in the court to politely reject the duke, then he must learn to give up, whether it is the Jingdu Xiangyun The branch is still the shares of Qinyuan. Instead of waiting for the censors to impeach him in the future, he can only actively choose to split up. He is a smart person, so he will definitely make a smart choice. Erchen had already predicted it more than a month ago. When that day comes, we are well prepared.”

Faced with the pressure of other harem concubines over the years, Empress Chen has always followed the rules and was cautious, and never gave anyone a chance to criticize. Even if Emperor Kaiping's thoughts were not in this Nanxun Palace, there was nothing he could do about her as the main empress.Looking at Huang'er's confident face at this moment, she reminded subconsciously: "Have you ever thought about why Pei Yue let go of the property under his name?"

Speaking of this, it is difficult for Concubine Wu to go further, even if she can probably guess who the emperor suspects.

The so-called knowing son is like a mother, no matter how unfamiliar she is with the intrigue outside, she also has a full understanding of her son.

Empress Chen stretched out her hand to cover his mouth without waiting for him to finish speaking, with pleading in her eyes, she said softly: "Your Majesty, don't do this!"

Liu Yun was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, it's not that I want to go to that step, but that my father has never considered putting I in that position. I was acceptable at the beginning, but Wei Guogong said to I In a word, what the predecessors did, future generations should emulate!"

Accompanied by these words, there was endless fierceness on his body.

Empress Chen was speechless for a long time.
