Invincible son

Chapter 974 973 [The Monarch and His Ministers Join Forces]

This is a very peculiar scene.

Emperor Kaiping sat on an armchair with the pattern of longevity. Among the two young people in the hall, one was his son who was unlikely to become a great talent, and the other was a courtier he valued and relied on.Logically speaking, he, the emperor, should be in control of the situation, but at the moment he was watching calmly, letting Pei Yue dominate the progress of the topic.

Pay attention to etiquette when facing the saint. The second prince originally knelt upright, but now he twisted his body to face Pei Yue. As for the latter, he sat cross-legged on the ground a little loosely.

It doesn't seem like the father and son are right, but like those small families and small households gossiping about family affairs.

"The fourth prince said a lot that day, and poured out all the words he had kept in his heart for more than 20 years. He knew that his majesty could not hide those plans at all, but he also said that he never thought of killing you and his majesty. He just I feel that I am stronger than you, and I hope that His Majesty can see his existence through those means."

Pei Yue recounted the scene as concisely as possible.

Liu Yun gradually recalled the situation at that time. It was after Ning Fengzhi pleaded guilty, and Liu Zan ordered people to blame him, trying to pin the blame on him.In the end, the truth was revealed by Pei Yue, Emperor Kaiping was furious, and only Liu Zan and Pei Yue were left in the imperial study, and the rest all withdrew.

Although he is the eldest son of the empress, he is also on the list of retreat.

Hearing Pei Yue's straightforward words, Liu Yun's face became a little ugly, and he said in a low voice: "If you talk about cruelty and mercilessness, the fourth child is indeed stronger than us."

Pei Yue got up obediently and stood aside.

Emperor Kaiping calmly said: "Although you have not made any achievements in the past, you have never done anything particularly bad. In contrast, Liu Xian not only wanted to seize other people's property, but even sent the masters of the government to assassinate the ministers, it can be described as stubborn and stupid Extremely. But in the end I chose him instead of you, this has nothing to do with the people in the harem, but because you have disappointed me in the past two years."

Pei Yue nodded in agreement, and said with emotion: "After all, the fourth prince is a bit paranoid. If he can understand His Majesty's difficulties and his own shortcomings, he may not go on that road of no return."

Emperor Kaiping did not look at him, but stared at Liu Yun and said, "What Pei Yue said just now is right or wrong. There is indeed only one crown prince, and I have a preference for Liu Xian, but this is not the real reason why you are not here. "

Liu Yun took a light breath, saluted and said, "I implore my father to enlighten me."

Liu Yun knelt down respectfully, and said bitterly: "Father, my son...how could my son have the idea of ​​being struck by lightning? I just don't want to disappoint you and the queen mother."

Liu Yun turned his head towards Emperor Kaiping, and after hesitating for a long time, he slowly raised his head, but he still didn't dare to look directly into Emperor Kaiping's eyes, he just asked nervously, "Father, actually...you know that Liu Zan will plot against you, right?" ?"

However, it is unfilial to use a son to kill a father. Wouldn't it be chilling for the father to trap and kill the prince with that method?
Emperor Kaiping knew what this son was thinking, but he still didn't want to explain much, just pursed his thin and sharp lips.

Pei Yue said again: "Then do you know how the fourth prince answered His Majesty?"

Emperor Kaiping knew him very well, nodded slightly and said: "I am very pleased that you didn't do that."

Speaking of this, Emperor Kaiping slowly got up, stepped in front of Liu Yun, bowed his head and said, "Liu Zan killed Duan Jiu."

However, Emperor Kaiping said: "I know."

Even Liu Yun didn't believe it. Those people were all loyal and determined, but they must be smart people. How could they follow Liu Zan to be a traitor destined to fail?

For some reason, Liu Yun suddenly felt a chill invade his body, as if he was about to see a terrifying scene.

This sentence almost exhausted all his courage.

The source is naturally because everything is under the control of the father.

Liu Yun nodded slightly.

In other words, without Pei Yue's previous persuasion and foreshadowing, he had originally made up his mind to be an answerer today.Even so, he still didn't expect to get a clear reply.

Emperor Kaiping gave a comment indifferently.

He paused for a while, and said with a slightly heavy voice: "You can make mistakes, but you can't fail to improve."

"He's not crazy, he's just pretending to be crazy."

Liu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief, the three words "Father Emperor" revealed too much information.

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "He said, the father can do it, but the son can't?"

Liu Yun's face turned slightly pale. In fact, he already knew that the person beside him was of extraordinary status. Fortunately, he never had that kind of thought. He just wanted to defeat Liu Xian and get the damn crown prince.

That sentence is not only talking about the monarch and ministers and father and son, but also refers to the bloody night that happened in Kyoto 17 years ago!
Everyone has rebellious scales, let alone the emperor of Daliang?
Liu Yun smiled wryly and said with a complex expression, "He's crazy."

Speaking of the son who committed suicide in front of countless people, the emperor who had been in Yuyu for nearly 20 years did not show the slightest weakness, and his stern eyes revealed a strong will.It's just that what he said to Liu Yun next sounded more like he was convincing himself to Pei Yue, just like his last statement in the imperial study that day.

Although the DPRK struggle has been fierce in recent months, both sides have been able to exercise restraint, and no overly vicious or insidious moves have been made.Before Pei Yue's plan, the two sides had not even pointed their spearheads at the real lord, and had been fighting on the periphery.It's just that no one thought that Pei Yue's style in the court would be so clear and direct, just like his decisiveness on the battlefield these years.

Thinking back to that rebellion with a lot of thunder and a little rain, even though too many details were covered up in the dust, it seems that Liu Zan has no chance of success at all, except for Zhang Wu, the former coach of the Kyoto Defense Division, standing on his side, Most of the important ministers in the middle school are on the opposite side of him.

Liu Yun was dumbfounded, and could no longer maintain the prince's demeanor.He finally understood the root cause of the treason, and also understood the reason why his father didn't stop it in time, and even ignored Liu Zan's treason.

Pei Yue sighed softly, and said to Liu Yun: "Second Highness, in the imperial study that day, His Majesty once told the Fourth Prince that if he is allowed to become the Great Treasure, none of you princes will be able to survive in the future. There is no family relationship, but His Majesty does not want to see you kill each other."

"I gave Liu Zan a chance to live, but he just wanted to use the turmoil in the capital to prove his ridiculous persistence. At the beginning of the reorganization of Luan Yiwei, I selected a few loyal and capable officials to go to the princes, The person sent to Liu Zan's side is named Duan Jiu. I told Duan Jiu that as long as Liu Zan doesn't take the last step, at least his life must be saved."

This sentence seemed to be enlightening, causing Liu Yun to raise his head involuntarily.

Emperor Kaiping continued: "In the past, I didn't allow you to get involved in the government, but I didn't want the dispute between the crown princes to break out prematurely, which would affect the stability of the court. You should have a sense of the chaos in the court in the past few months. In the past two years, you have entered Not only did Liu Xian get rid of those problems, but he was able to do things for the court in a down-to-earth manner. Although his actions were guided by Concubine Wu, did I forbid you to visit the queen?"

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "Father has never made such a decree."

A look of disappointment floated in Emperor Kaiping's eyes, and he said slowly: "Then what have you done in the past two years? Hanging out in the wind and moon, playing songs every night, cultivating confidantes, colluding with the party, and even embezzling the court's money to develop your own industry, with only power and money in your heart Two words, have you ever thought about doing something for Daliang?"
