Chapter 1148 1149 [In order to fight foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs]

Author: Shangtang Doumiao

The main hall of Duke Wei's Mansion.

This hall still does not have a hall name, and Pei Yue does not seem to have any arty ideas, so there is only a nave hanging on the north wall written by Cao Huai, a master of calligraphy in the former Wei Dynasty.

Liu Xian looked at Pei Yue who was sitting at the bottom, glanced at the bandaged right arm, and said solemnly: "I have brought two imperial doctors, Pei Qing will let them take a look."

Pei Yue did not refuse, but saluted and said: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The two imperial doctors carefully removed the tie and saw a very deep wound on Pei Yue's right arm. Although the bleeding had stopped, one could still imagine the danger of the situation. If it weren't for his extremely deep inner strength and the fact that the blade was brought

Unfortunately, this knife is likely to cut off his arm.

Liu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Pei Yue lost his arm, there would probably be an unpredictable storm in the capital.

Before he came to visit Pei Yue, he had received a secret report about the intensified drills within the Beiying camp. Although there was no movement among the tens of thousands of elites, this atmosphere of inaction was even more worrying.

From the perspective of a king, it is naturally inappropriate for his ministers to have such prestige. However, after experiencing the disputes at the end of the Kaiping Dynasty, Liu Xian also understood the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If he wants to unify the world, he must

If capable military veterans like Pei Yue are to be reused, they will definitely establish their own prestige in the military.

Moreover, the soldiers of Beiying did not do anything out of the ordinary. Drilling was their duty, and no one could criticize them.

The imperial doctor helped Pei Yue put on the palace wound medicine and bandaged it again, and said respectfully to Liu Xian: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei's injury is not serious and he needs to rest for about half a month. Fortunately, it is just a trauma and no injuries.

If your muscles and bones are injured, as long as you pay attention to rest, there will be no serious problems in the future."

Liu Xian nodded, waved his hand and ordered them to retreat. Then he looked at Pei Yue's pure eyes and said hesitantly: "Pei Qing, where did this assassin come from?"

Pei Yue pondered for a moment, showed a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, after much thought, I have made many enemies over the years. There are at least five or six possibilities. It is really impossible to determine the identity of the assassin."

This statement is true.

Pei Yue's rise to the top relied on military merit, in other words, a ladder made of countless heads. From the earliest bandits that entered the Hengduan Mountains to annihilate them, to countless battles on the border, and then to the suppression of two rebellions in Kyoto, he died directly or indirectly in his death.

There are countless people in his hands. In this case, anyone may give up everything and hire a master to assassinate him.

Liu Xian nodded slightly and said: "Before I left the palace, my mother specially asked me to convey a few words to Pei Qing."

Pei Yue stood tall and straight and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Liu Xiandao: "My mother said that Pei Qing has made great contributions to the country and is a loyal minister who protects the country for me. Therefore, no matter who is behind this assassination, the court will never be lenient and must deal with it strictly."

Pei Yue said with emotion: "I am grateful beyond words for the Queen Mother's caring heart. I should devote myself to the affairs of the state and not dare to slack off."

Liu Xian waved his hand and said: "This is what I should do, Pei Qing does not need to do this. Just rest in peace and recuperate in the palace. I have ordered Taishitai Pavilion, Luan Yiwei, Kyoto Palace, the garrison division and the Ministry of Justice to join forces to catch the assassin as soon as possible.

, give Pei Qing justice."

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"

Pei Yue stood up and saluted.

Liu Xiansui left with the palace guards, and Pei Yue personally walked to the door of the palace. He watched the emperor's ceremonial guard slowly leave the front street of the palace, still standing silently for a long time, and then turned back with an expressionless face. The solid gate of the Duke's palace

Close it tightly.

Pei Yue walked slowly to Qingya Xiaozhu, moving his right arm quite carefully on the way, and complex emotions gradually appeared in his eyes.

Ye Qi stood in the corridor, looked at his right arm steadily, and asked: "Has the emperor noticed anything unusual?"

Pei Yue shook his head, stretched out his left hand to hold Ye Qi's palm, and led her into the Nuan Pavilion. After a long time, he said, "Is everything okay in the house?"

Ye Qi said softly: "Sister Zhen'er cried so hard that her eyes were red and swollen. She just said that if you hadn't been to protect her, you would not have needed to take risks yourself, let alone suffer such serious injuries. I tried to persuade her according to your wishes for a long time, and finally managed to

Let her calm down, she shouldn't continue now

Continuing to be sad. Sister Lin and Taohua are not much better, but they don’t dare to tell you face to face, naturally they don’t want you to rush forward if you encounter such a thing in the future. In fact, they all know that you regard your soldiers as brothers and sisters.

, I don’t want them to die in vain, but..."

She sighed and added: "We women only want our husbands to live a safe and long life."

Pei Yue was moved and ashamed, and said: "It's not that I deliberately kept it from them, it's just that this plan involves a wide range of things, and I didn't tell them because I didn't want them to worry in vain."

Ye Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said angrily: "Aren't they worried now?"

Pei Yue pulled her to sit on the couch together and said slowly: "It's just a trauma, not a broken muscle or bone. Now that they are having a good time in the house, they only need to worry about it for a while, and they won't sleep well every day.

"

Ye Qi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true."

Pei Yue recalled the conversation with Liu Xian just now, frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty will not doubt me, at least not in front of him, but he still brought two imperial doctors to check my injury, which shows that the nobleman in the palace is always worried.

.”

Ye Qidao: "Is this why you made up your mind?"

Pei Yue stared deeply and said: "Before Mr. Mo Haoli passed away, he once said to me that he would give me a gift in return. At that time, I thought this meant that the impact of his death would overwhelm the world's discussion of my identity. Later, I thought about it carefully.

I think it won't be that simple. It's hard to say whether this return gift is good or bad."

He paused and said slightly tiredly: "As for Empress Dowager Wu, she is not as simple as Liu Xian, so she is naturally very wary of me. If that was all, I could probably bear it, but she used my suggestion to push my father-in-law

Transferred to the Western Region, this matter has exceeded my bottom line."

"She may not take action against Marquis Guangping."

"The key lies in how the situation will develop. It is inevitable that Xiwu and Southern Zhou will jointly send troops. What I can't determine now is their specific strategy. However, Xie Xiao sent someone to contact me before and wanted me to launch a war on the border.

This was used to help him regain military power. I didn’t believe what he said at first, but after Xu Churong sent someone to send the information, I became even more sure that this was a trap."

"Does he want the oriole behind?"

"That should be the case. Since the war is bound to come, I can only choose to clean up and neutralize all the hostile forces in the court before the war. If I cannot control most of the power in the court in advance, I am worried that there will be enemies from behind during the war.

Cold arrow."

Ye Qi sighed softly, a look of distress appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
