Chapter 1082 1083 [How can a pity child not be a husband]

Pei Yue loved reading in his previous life, and he always regarded one sentence as his motto in life, which is: Using people as a mirror can help you understand gains and losses, and using history as a mirror can help you understand ups and downs.

After he came to this world, he read many history books and knew that in such a land where the idea of ​​imperial power is deeply rooted, if you want to prop up the heavy iron curtain hanging above your head, you can neither advance beyond the limitations of this era and backward productivity, nor can you

You can't compromise on everything and then expect to use violent means to make a comeback.

The former is like Lin Qingyuan, a pioneer who also comes from the blue planet. He wants to use his influence on Emperor Gaozu to forcefully change the world according to his plan, weaken centralization and establish a simple system when the materials are far from meeting the requirements.

The model of separation of the virtual monarch and the real three powers solves the stubborn problem of the dynasty's continuous reincarnation from top to bottom.

The latter is like Wang Pingzhang. After going through more than ten years of ups and downs, facing the emperor who has firmly controlled the court, he tried every means to conceal his threat. When there was no way to retreat, he set off a rebellion that shocked the world. Mo.

To say that he ended miserably in the end, even if he did succeed, it would just be a familiar reincarnation.

Pei Yue has different attitudes and perceptions towards them, but no matter what, he doesn't want to make the same mistakes again.

As early as when the eldest prince and the second prince were competing for the throne, he had already made up his mind that he would not walk the same path they had walked.

In other words, when he shifted the focus of the Xiangyun Hao to all parts of the world instead of limiting it to a corner of Kyoto, he had already anticipated that this situation would happen today.

Therefore, he could accept the title of Duke, and the military power could be temporarily handed over, because after Wang Pingzhang's rebellion, there would inevitably be a period of turmoil in the army. Under this premise, neither Emperor Kaiping nor Liu Xian could continue to advance against Pei Yue.

Unless they really want to see the entire Liang Dynasty turn into a mess like the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Even if he is granted the title of Duke and temporarily leaves Beiying, the Zangfeng Guards and Wuding Guards will still act according to his will, and his influence in the military cannot be underestimated.

A very solid foundation has been laid in the early stage. Pei Yue now has enough patience. All he needs is time.

When the Xiangyun Hao and Qinyuan complete their transformation, the world will rapidly develop towards a more prosperous goal.

No one can stop the rolling wheel of history.

But for Concubine Wu and Liu Xian, they are not roundworms in Pei Yue's belly, nor do they have the knowledge and experience accumulated by Pei Yue in his two lifetimes, so naturally they will not think too deeply about it.

They only saw a courtier who was as frank as the moonlight.

Emperor Kaiping said leisurely: "What a noble title given by the king, I dare not resign."

Pei Yue wanted to salute greatly to express his gratitude, but Emperor Kaiping stopped him and said: "Don't be in a hurry to salute."

Pei Yue looked at him puzzled.

Emperor Kaiping glanced at Concubine Wu, who looked moved, and said slowly: "I want to make you the Duke of the Kingdom, not because of the messy reasons that outsiders think. I have appreciated and promoted many ministers in my life, but only you.

There are no other people's marks on you. You have never let me down. Everything that has happened in these years, you have done your best, and it has often been better than I expected."

He paused and said calmly: "Now that I am about to die, I hope that before I die, I can once again promote the minister who I am most proud of in this life."

Pei Yue sighed softly: "Your Majesty, in fact, for me, whether it is a prince or a prince, it is your grace, and I am willing to accept it. Without your majesty's respect, I would not be able to reach this stage today.

Before Wang Pingzhang died, he said that having great achievements and shocking the master is a problem that a king can never avoid. He also said that the reason why I insisted on killing him was because your Majesty gave me high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and I was blinded by power.

I will follow in his footsteps in the future.”

He smiled faintly and said straightforwardly: "In this case, I will take a step back. It's not that I don't believe in Your Majesty, but the world is such that no one can be spared."

Emperor Kaiping raised his hand and nodded at him, and said with a chuckle: "I still can't convince you after all. To tell you the truth, after I had this idea, it was the imperial concubine who sincerely advised me and made me change my mind."

The surprise in Pei Yue's eyes was not disguised.

He did think that this was Emperor Kaiping's test, but he didn't expect that Concubine Wu would actually speak for him.

Concubine Wu's smile was mellow and she could not hide her approval.

Emperor Kaiping continued: "The noble concubine said that your loyalty is unquestionable, and some of the methods you used in the past were just for self-protection. If because of the slander of the world and the suspicion in my heart, I will let you become a rich man who has no involvement in government affairs.

It is a great loss to Daliang. What she said makes sense, so you don’t have to worry that I will burn down the bridge and kill the donkey.”

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I thought I would finally have more time to spend with my family."

Emperor Kaiping pretended to be angry and said: "Foolish thing, when will I not allow you to accompany your family?"

Pei Yue didn't say anything, he just counted on his fingers.

Emperor Kaiping said: "You are pretending to be a ghost again."

Pei Yue sighed: "Your Majesty, I am just doing the math. From the time I was granted the title of Viscount in the third year of Kaiping, I left the capital in the summer of the fourth year of Kaiping until I returned at the beginning of the sixth year of Kaiping. Then I stayed in the capital for less than half a year, and then went to the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Welcoming the bride. After returning to Beijing, this time only staying for a few months, His Majesty asked me to go to the northern Xinjiang to lead troops to fight. In other words, in these nearly five years, I stayed in the capital for only a few days.

About two years."

He shrugged and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I really didn't pretend to be a fool, but kept working hard."

Concubine Wu covered her mouth and smiled softly. Liu Xian couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really hard."

Emperor Kaiping could not laugh because of his injury, but after Pei Yue interrupted him, the sadness and loneliness in his heart dissipated a lot, as if he had returned to the scene where the emperor and his ministers played against each other.

Only Pei Yue dared to talk and laugh freely in front of him, and only he could allow himself to enjoy this rare atmosphere happily.

Looking at Pei Yue's delicate and handsome face, Emperor Kaiping couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a pity."

If he had such a prince, why would he bother to plan everything. Although Liu Xian has a pure and filial heart and has been making continuous progress in the past two years, there is still a big gap compared with the ability and skill shown by Pei Yue.

Fortunately, he has an extremely smart queen mother.

She is the queen mother, not the concubine.

Emperor Kaiping calmed down and said to Pei Yue: "After my death, you must fulfill your duties as an assistant minister, protect the new emperor and his concubine, and treat them the same way you treat me. You have been in contact with Liu Xian for a long time, so you should know his

By nature, even if you have never truly believed in me, you should know that he is not me and will not often plot against you."

In fact, for an emperor, such words would be inappropriate. However, after several previous preparations, it was a matter of course for Emperor Kaiping to say this.

Concubine Wu stood up and stood aside.

Liu Xian's expression was complicated, showing sadness and despair, but also hope and anxiety about the future.

Pei Yue had a clear view of the two men's reactions, then stood up and said to Emperor Kaiping: "Your Majesty, I will not disappoint your expectations."

Emperor Kaiping nodded, and then said to Concubine Wu and the prince: "You go down first. I have something to say to him alone."

Concubine Wu and the prince bowed and left.

Pei Yue waited quietly. He knew that the emperor used the golden needle secret method to force himself to stay awake. Obviously, he was not greedy for this world, but wanted to arrange his posthumous affairs as properly as possible.

It was extremely quiet inside the palace.

Emperor Kaiping was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Do you know about Silent Cloud?"

Pei Yue did not expect that the emperor would talk about this topic first. When he returned to Kyoto, he had already learned about Silent Cloud's situation from Mr. Xi. He had been pretending to be relaxed before, but when he heard the emperor mention this name, he couldn't help but fall into Long hesitation.

A long time ago, the only elders he valued particularly highly were Gu Liang and Mr. Xi.

I don’t know since when, Silent Cloud has occupied a place.

But he also knew that after Silent Cloud publicly admitted his regicide, he had cut off all hope of life.

The only person who could change this outcome was Emperor Kaiping.

He met the emperor's direct gaze and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you have never thought that Lord Shen would betray you, right?"

Emperor Kaiping remained silent, his eyes gradually showing a look of sadness.

A long sigh.
