Invincible son

Chapter 973 972 [The Knife in Memories]

Prince Qi's Mansion, the main hall.

Wearing the emperor's black uniform, Emperor Kaiping put his hands behind his back and looked at the furnishings of the main hall of the palace. The second prince Liu Yun stood beside him expressionlessly.

After a long time, Emperor Kaiping said calmly, "Except Liu Yun, you all go down."

Everyone should be respectful and filed out. At this time, Emperor Kaiping said: "Pei Yue stay."

The relatives of the palace, the servants and the court guards were all envious, even Chen An secretly lamented that His Majesty's attitude towards the Marquis of Zhongshan was completely different.Even though a well-known unhappiness happened years ago, Pei Yue is still the most trusted subject in His Majesty's heart.

Who knew that Pei Yue was scolding his mother in his heart?

Although this is Prince Qi's Mansion, the Tingwei and Luanyiwei have long been surrounded by people, and there are many top experts secretly protecting it. There will be no problem with Kaiping Emperor's safety.

After the failure of the fourth prince's frame-up, Emperor Kaiping once had a father-son conversation with him. At that time, the excuse for Pei Yue to stay was to be responsible for protecting the holy car.However, during the rain-seeking ceremony at Huanqiu Altar, Emperor Kaiping had already demonstrated his own martial arts. Even if his cultivation was not outstanding, it would not be difficult to handle an unarmed Second Prince, so this reason was naturally useless.

So Emperor Kaiping simply ordered, it seems that the next conversation between him and the second prince needs an audience very much.

He knelt down and said: "Royal father, what I do has nothing to do with the queen mother. Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the minister. I beg the royal father not to blame the queen mother."

Liu Yun bit his lower lip tightly, as if trying not to argue.

Seeing that the two were still frozen there, in order to avoid becoming unlucky pond fish again, Pei Yue had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, Your Majesty didn't think of knocking you down this time."

A strange feeling came to Liu Yun's mind. He seemed to have never heard such a gentle tone from his father. However, when he thought of the commotion at the court meeting yesterday, his face turned pale, and he shook his head and said, "I dare not .”

Liu Yun asked, "What's the matter?"

Emperor Kaiping turned a blind eye to his rude behavior, but his expression became unnatural because of the truth behind.

Pei Yue realized the reason why the emperor asked him to stay, and after greeting the father of the Supreme Liang in his heart, he felt a little shocked again.

After Emperor Kaiping finished training Pei Yue, he ignored the helplessness in his eyes and continued: "I never thought of abolishing the empress. In the future, as long as the empress can uphold her original intention, I will still respect her. As for me a hundred years later, if the empress is still alive In this world, Liu Xian should respect the empress dowagers of the two palaces, this practice has existed since ancient times. And I believe that Liu Xian will not lose his filial piety."

The emperor almost laughed out loud at this guy's laziness and perfunctory, his slender eyes gradually piled up with a dangerous light, as if he was thinking about how many thunderbolts Pei Yue could withstand today.

Emperor Kaiping obviously didn't care about Pei Yue's resentment, turned around and looked at Liu Yun who lowered his head and eyebrows, and said softly, "You have resentment in your heart."

If it was placed a few years ago, Emperor Kaiping would never have made such a move today.

But he is still dissatisfied, because he is the eldest son of the empress, he should be the crown prince, and the current situation is only because of the father's preference for Liu Xian!
Emperor Kaiping stared at Liu Yun's face, but did not say anything to explain.

But it doesn't stop there.

So he finally turned his head and stared at Pei Yue with complicated eyes.

Pei Yue looked up at the thoughtful Emperor Kaiping, and his tone gradually became solemn: "The story between Your Majesty and the Fourth Prince."

He finally found out that his biggest problem was that he underestimated Pei Yue's position in his father's heart even though he had paid enough attention to Pei Yue.

"Of course, I can understand His Highness's thoughts. Although there can only be one prince, according to the rules passed down from your ancestors, you are indeed the most qualified to be the prince."

Emperor Kaiping would not suddenly become a gentle and loving father. He needed a very trustworthy person to mediate and say something on his behalf. That's why he kept Pei Yue.

So what if the prince is not reconciled?

The handover and replacement of the throne is an important event in the country, and earth-shattering events often occur. Emperor Kaiping himself should have a lot of experience in this regard.

Emperor Kaiping turned his head to look at him, and scolded him coldly: "Could it be that in your heart, I am the kind of fool who doesn't know right from wrong? The queen has worked hard all these years to keep the harem in order. I can focus on state affairs, The empress has made great contributions. If I blame the empress because of Liu Yun's mistakes, how is it different from the foolish emperor in the history books? You are a fool!"

Emperor Kaiping looked up at Liu Yun who looked very much like him, and said calmly: "Last night your mother begged me for a long time, begging me not to come to see you today, do you know why?"

Pei Yue's words are straightforward and direct, which is a novel experience for Liu Yun.

Co-author, are you deliberately venting your anger on me today, and by the way, make this guy Liu Yun feel better?
After hearing these words, Liu Yun's face finally turned red. Looking at Pei Yue who was suddenly scolded beside him, he didn't feel gloating about his enemy's misfortune, but a little envious.

Emperor Kaiping walked to the main seat and sat down, caressing the carved patterns on the armrest, and said slowly: "Don't dare, then there is."

I don't need you to be willing, as long as you obey.

Pei Yue said again: "Then does your Highness think that His Majesty will harm you?"

Liu Yun looked confused. Liu Zan, who had committed suicide, framed him and Liu Xian successively, and finally embarked on the road of no return for rebellion. He has experienced all these things, and he is not ignorant of everything. What is the intention.

Pei Yue was dumbfounded.

Liu Yun was a little confused about his thoughts, but unconsciously his extremely resistant mentality softened.

Liu Yun's expression changed, his eyes darkened.

Never expected that Emperor Kaiping would soften his heart.

It's just that Pei Yue roughly felt that perhaps the Fourth Prince Liu Zan's act of committing suicide angrily after failing in his rebellion had a slight impact on Emperor Kaiping.So after ruining the second prince's hope, he decided to go there personally today to try to avoid similar things from happening again.

He didn't hesitate this time, and replied decisively: "Of course not!"

Liu Yun turned to face the emperor, hesitating for a moment and said, "Father, my son doesn't understand."

Hearing the word "abolished", Liu Yun was startled and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

Pei Yue sighed, walked over to Liu Yun and sat on the ground, and said slowly, "Your Highness, there is only one crown prince, what do you want His Majesty to do?"

Liu Yun pursed his lips tightly and knelt on the ground in a stubborn posture.

Seeing this, Pei Yue looked at Emperor Kaiping, with an expression of "I have tried my best and there is nothing I can do" on his face.

Seeing that he remained silent like a mountain, Pei Yue asked, "Your Highness, do you think you are smarter than Your Majesty?"

Liu Yun said in surprise: "How can my son be as safe as my father!"

The problem is that Pei Yue doesn't want to hear it.

Liu Yun smiled bitterly.

Speaking of this, the battle for the crown prince is a foregone conclusion.

Pei Yue who was standing beside him couldn't help frowning slightly.

Emperor Kaiping narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "It looks smarter than before, but it's still just a little cleverness."

The smile on Pei Yue's face became more gentle, nodded and said: "So I don't think His Majesty will make a wrong choice, does His Highness agree?"

Could he have answered anything other than agreeing?
"Your Highness must still be puzzled or depressed, so I will tell His Highness a story about the past, which may help you." Pei Yue relaxed his posture slightly.

In the eyes of such a tough and cold-blooded king, it is up to him to decide who can take over the Emperor Yuxi, and others can only and must accept it.

Emperor Kaiping said indifferently: "You know that you have completely lost face in the hearts of civil and military officials, but as long as I don't abolish the queen, you may still have a chance in the future."

Pei Yue sighed silently.

Liu Yun was indifferent on the surface, but he was already inexplicably surprised in his heart.

From the beginning to the end, he did not beat around the bush, but this method seemed to suit the second prince's appetite.

Or disdain, or unwilling.

Although he wasn't smart enough, he wasn't too stupid, so he couldn't even hear the trust and intimacy in the emperor's words.

He already knew too many secrets, and he didn't want to be forced to be involved in this kind of crap with many hidden dangers.

Bitterness appeared in Liu Yun's eyes, and he said with difficulty: "Father, the queen mother is worried that the son's temperament will be stubborn. If I offend the father again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep the title of prince, and maybe I will be demoted to a commoner just like Liu Fei. "

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is no one else here today, and His Majesty won't mind if we talk a little bit."

However, what Pei Yue wanted to talk about was not the ups and downs. What he wanted to talk about was the conversation between Liu Zan and Emperor Kaiping in the imperial study last spring before he was imprisoned.

The past is not necessarily warm, it may also be as sharp as a sword.

What is puzzling is that Emperor Kaiping didn't say anything to stop him, but just looked at Pei Yue calmly.

　People are driving at high speed, on the way back, I wish everyone a good start and all the best!
