Chapter 1144 1145 [I have two swords]

Author: Shangtang Doumiao

What kind of person is Gu Liang?

Pei Yue actually rarely thinks about this issue seriously.

The first time they met was at the sixtieth birthday of Pei Taijun of Dingguo Mansion. Faced with the siege of a group of powerful children who only followed Pei Cheng's orders, Gu Liang was the only elder who stood up to help him. From that time on, Gu Liang began to treat him

This little-known concubine took good care of him in every possible way, and even betrothed his most beloved only daughter to Pei Yue.

At that time, not only were outsiders rumored, but even Pei Yue himself doubted whether he had a blood connection with Gu Liang. After returning from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he figured out his origins. It turned out that Gu Liang took care of him like that because of the legacy of Princess Qiyang.

Ze. Since then, he has trusted Gu Liang more and more, and this tiger general's status in his heart is equal to that of Mr. Xi.

To this day, as he stares at Gu Liang's gentle and restrained eyes, he can't help but think of many past events.

Gu Liang's father was implicated in the Xian Chunqiu case. After that, he resolutely joined the army at the age of fifteen. However, he was suppressed by the superiors for so many years and could not be promoted even though he had great military exploits. During those miserable years, he not only had to bear the burdens of people coming from all directions.

pressure, and be careful of cold arrows that may be shot from behind at any time.

If no one protects him, he will never survive until Zhongzong's death.

etc……

Pei Yue gradually opened his eyes wide, looked at Gu Liang in disbelief, and said with difficulty: "Zhang Yue, the person who protected you was not Emperor Renzong, but the late emperor, right?"

Gu Liang laughed and said: "It's really fantastic. If the late emperor was protecting me, how could I commit regicide?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "When the late emperor ascended the throne, he was in harmony with Wang Pingzhang, and later they turned against each other. There is no eternal truth in this world. The late emperor once told me before his death that my father-in-law was the most calm among all the people in the court.

He could hold his anger even better than Wang Pingzhang. He also said that the grudges between the Gu family and the Tian family should be resolved after his death, but in the future, my father-in-law may not want me to be a loyal minister of Daliang. At that time, I must stop him.

Father-in-law."

It was as if there was a thunder in my mind.

At the family banquet when he first entered the Guangping Marquis Mansion many years ago, Gu Liang said to him with a smile: "Rebellion is not an option."

Pei Yue said in a trembling voice: "The late emperor did not want me to stop my father-in-law from rebelling, but he wanted to prevent you from dying!"

Gu Liang picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip without any impatience, and said slowly: "Brother Yue, don't you think there are many contradictions in your inference? I am not Wang Pingzhang, and I have no greed for power and status.

Therefore, there is no fundamental conflict with the late emperor.

.If it is true as you said, the late emperor protected me in every possible way back then, it would have been impossible for me to commit regicide. How could there be such an ungrateful person in the world? We talk about everything between you and my husband-in-law. If I really forced you to

Why should we pay for our rebellion with our own lives?"

Pei Yue said solemnly: "But if I remember correctly, before Emperor Renzong was poisoned, his father-in-law rushed to the southern border to take charge of the border camp even though he knew that the situation in Kyoto was dangerous. After the late emperor ascended the throne, his father-in-law returned from the southern border and not only took over as the commander of the Beijing camp, but also

Moreover, we also received the plaque of ‘Gong Zhong Ti Guo’ given by the late emperor.”

He paused, frowning and said: "I have always had a question over the years, why did the late emperor value his father-in-law so much? If it is to calm the hearts of all officials, the late emperor appointed Mr. Shen as Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion, and later

It is enough to make Pei Zhen the Duke of Dingguo. With such an important position as the head coach of the Beijing camp, can the late emperor really trust Emperor Renzong's beloved general?"

Gu Liang was unhurried and said calmly: "Brother Yue, you shouldn't waste your energy on these groundless speculations. During the trip to the western border, I just took a look at the defenses of the military camps in various places. If Xiwu is really desperate, the army will commit crimes."

I will try my best to prevent them from advancing eastward. As for Empress Dowager Wu, you really don’t have to worry. She is a woman who knows how to be powerful, and she also knows the reason why the late emperor did not check Liu Bao before his death."

When he said this, he finally showed a bit of helplessness and sighed: "I just told you that the relationship between Liu Bao and me has been severed long ago. Without conclusive evidence, even if the Empress Dowager Wu is doing it for the overall interests of the court,

If you think about it, you won't attack me rashly."

"Do you think that Empress Dowager Wu has worked hard in the harem for more than 20 years, and once she gains power, she will damage the foundation of Daliang?"

Faced with Gu Liang's solemn inquiry, Pei Yue finally stopped asking for more details, but he still insisted: "Since my father-in-law insists on going to the West, please bring Beiweiying with you!"

Without thinking, Gu Liang shook his head and said, "What will the emperor and the princes think of you doing this? Beiwei camp is your personal guard camp, how can I behave with you by your side?"

Pei Yue's repeated persuasion was useless and he could only sigh: "Since my father-in-law refuses, my son-in-law will take a step back and carry Wei Camp on his back and replace it with an army of cavalry from the West Camp, led by Brother Gu personally to protect my father-in-law!"

Gu Liang smiled helplessly: "You have such a stubborn temper... No wonder the late emperor lamented with me more than once, and sometimes he was in trouble. That's all, I agree with your proposal, and I don't think your majesty will object to it."

With two thousand five hundred original longbow cavalry and Gu Mang accompanying them, Pei Yue felt a little relieved.

After about a stick of incense, Pei Yue and Gu Zhen said goodbye and left. Gu Liang personally sent them outside the house.

When he turned around, the old housekeeper Gu Liu, who had followed Gu Liang on the battlefield, sighed in a low voice: "My filial piety is really rare."

Gu Liang's eyes were far-reaching and he said calmly: "He is naturally a good boy."

Gu Liu's eyes turned slightly red and he said, "Master, how about I ask you to accompany you to the Western Region?"

Gu Liang shook his head and said calmly: "Stay in the house and take good care of the family."

Gu Liu sighed and said with endless sadness: "Yes, Master."

…

There was no words spoken all the way, and the carriage drove smoothly towards Yongrenfang.

Pei Yue rode that divine steed that was extremely humane, and bits and pieces of the past kept popping up in his mind.

Especially the part related to Gu Liang that Emperor Kaiping once said to him. However, no matter how he traced it, it was still a fog and he couldn't see clearly at all.

After leaving Xingyefang and passing two streets, you will find Yongrenfang.

Dongcheng is originally a place where the powerful are entrenched, so there are not many pedestrians on the road and the surrounding area seems very quiet.

In the carriage, worry lingered on Gu Zhen's beautiful face, because she clearly felt that her husband's mood was very wrong. Although he had just said that there would be no danger in his father's westward journey, he had also made arrangements very well.

But the two have known each other for many years, and any abnormality cannot escape each other's eyes.

"Ms. sir..." Gu Zhen called softly.

Pei Yue rode his horse forward. After calming down, he said warmly: "I'm here."

Gu Zhen thought for a while and said slowly: "Dad, he must have his own ideas, sir, don't be too upset."

A warm current surged in Pei Yue's heart, and he nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt my father-in-law."

Dozens of soldiers guarded Pei Yue and the carriage as they moved forward.
