Chapter 1151 1152 [Dilemma in the world]

Pei Yue and Jing Chu first met two years ago, when Fang Yunhu was preparing to use Nanqin to set up a trap for Gu Fan.

At that time, Taishitai Pavilion was shrouded in Shen Moyun's light, but Jing Chu still left a very deep impression on Pei Yue.

When he took out the list of guards written by Gu Fan, it only took Jing Chu two hours to find out the people suspected of being moles. No wonder he was able to take charge of the Kun Department with such a smart and capable person.

Before Taige was restructured, the Kunbu was responsible for monitoring the officials and people of Kyoto. They had eyes and ears in almost all noble houses. They were extremely powerful and held a pivotal position in Taige.

Pei Yue did not think that an unfathomable king like Emperor Kaiping would trust Silent Cloud without reservation, so Luan Yiwei existed and came to the fore. After Qian Bing left Taige to find him, he revealed that Jingchu actually It was Emperor Kaiping's confidant who instigated internal strife among the heads of various departments in the Taige during that turbulent time. Pei Yue had no doubt about this.

It wasn't until that day when he bid farewell to Silent Cloud in prison and saw him write two names on the table, one of which was Jing Chu, that Pei Yue didn't know what kind of amulet this gentle and reserved middle-aged man had left for him. .

Even if Jingchu does not have the prestige of Silent Cloud, even if Taishitai Pavilion is changed from nine departments to six departments and is forced to transfer part of its power to Luan Yiwei, this blue-gray official office located southwest of the palace still has a profound heritage and strength.

For Pei Yue, by taking control of Taishitai Pavilion on the existing basis, he already has the ability to effectively threaten the imperial power, or in other words, tear open a crack in the iron curtain.

Of course, there are still some people blocking his way.

Jingchu knew this very well, so he said cautiously: "My lord, there may be more ministers impeaching the Marquis of Xiangcheng."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not believe that Xiao Jin sent someone to assassinate me."

He paused and said with a half-smile: "I ordered people to use the hands of Luan Yiwei to find the weapons used by the assassins hiding near Xiangguo Mansion."

Jing Chu's heart trembled. This sentence revealed a vital message. Perhaps Pei Yue's soldiers had caught the assassin and hid him, and then used the assassin's weapon to frame Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng.

There is another possibility... this assassination was actually a scene arranged by Pei Yue, and the purpose was naturally to deal with Xiao Jin.

Jing Chu suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, automatically ignored Pei Yue's last sentence, and said cautiously: "What the Duke said is absolutely true. Considering the position of the Marquis of Xiangcheng in the army and His Majesty's trust in him, the current evidence is difficult to To shake up the right-wing army that holds the real power. And in my opinion, this evidence may not convince the court officials."

In fact, he said it quite tactfully. If the person standing in front of him was not Pei Yue, he would definitely point out directly that this method of framing someone was very childish.

Who is Xiao Jin?

He is a direct descendant of Xiao Zhi, one of the nine founding fathers of the Republic of China. He has guarded Hucheng for ten years. He is currently the assistant minister, first-class prince, right military aircraft, and commander of the Kyoto garrison. Most people believe that he will succeed Gu in the future. Liang Zuo's real power and military honors in the military position.

He was the assistant minister left to Liu Xian by Emperor Kaiping, and he was also one of the few people who could check and balance Pei Yue in the court in the future.

Even if the assassin was really appointed by Xiao Jin, considering the overall situation, the emperor would not accept it, let alone the so-called evidence that is so ambiguous as now.

Jing Chu didn't know Pei Yue's overall plan. In fact, in the past few months after Shen Moyun's death, the two had only met briefly and did not talk about too in-depth topics. Therefore, he was inevitably a little uneasy.

Such a simple and rough game to deal with Xiao Jin is completely inconsistent with the planning ability that Pei Yue has shown in the past. There must be a more complicated purpose in this.

Pei Yue smiled slightly and said calmly: "It's just a reminder to Xiao Jin. Of course I know that this thing that is not evidence at all can't do anything to him."

Jing Chu gradually came back to his senses and asked, "Could it be that the Duke of the State wants to attack the East and the West?"

Pei Yue looked at him approvingly and said calmly: "There should be many people joining the camp to impeach Xiao Jin in the past few days. This move will inevitably cause conflicts between Xiao Jin and me, and Xiao Jin himself may have similar problems."

The idea and the means to fight back. Let Luan Yiwei continue to be in the limelight and Taige dive under the water. There is only one thing that needs to be done."

Jing Chu lowered his head and said, "Please give me your instructions, Lord Duke."

Pei Yue's eyes were burning and he lowered his voice and said: "All the courtiers involved in this matter, whether they are fanning the flames or filled with righteous indignation, cannot be missed. Let Taige's spies in various mansions be alert and alert.

Keep a sharp eye on everyone and obtain conclusive evidence for any private collusion."

Jing Chu said sternly: "I will accept my order."

Pei Yue said this, if he still can't understand the key points, then he is not qualified to take over Taishitai Pavilion.

After watching Jing Chu leave, Pei Yue did not return to the inner house immediately, but slowly walked to the study outside the front yard.

Feng Yi and Gai Ju stood aside, quietly looking at Pei Yue who was sitting by the window.

After a long time, Pei Yue said slowly: "Is that swordsman still calm?"

Feng Yi replied: "Young Master, he did not do anything unusual. He just asked me to tell the Young Master this afternoon that he will definitely comply with the Young Master's arrangements whether he is alive or dead. I just hope that the Young Master will not forget his request."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Tell him not to worry."

Then there was another long silence.

Feng Yi and Gai Ju looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes, because they could feel Pei Yue's hesitation and hesitation at the moment. The two had followed Pei Yue for many years, experienced many storms together, and were very familiar with his habits.

I understand, and that's why I feel worried. After all, no matter how difficult the situation is, Pei Yue will never be so hesitant.

"Master, what should we do next?" Feng Yi mustered up the courage to break the silence.

Pei Yue sighed softly, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and said slowly: "Judging from the rumors in the capital and the reaction in the court, Xian Chunqiu's men finally couldn't restrain themselves and jumped again after the Yanzhi incident.

Come out, the same is true for the fine work in Xiwu. Logically speaking, I should strike while the iron is hot, but..."

He hesitated to speak, but Feng Yi and Gai Ju couldn't answer.

"That's all, such sighs are just hypocrisy. Feng Yi."

"exist."

"Let our people keep an eye on the detailed movements of those people, and at the same time act according to the original plan to involve the twelve ministers in this matter."

"yes!"

Pei Yue waved his left hand, and the two of them bowed and left.

The night is quiet and cool breeze blows.

Pei Yue's eyes were slightly out of focus, which was extremely rare for him.

A burst of fresh fragrance came, accompanied by Ye Qi's clear voice: "Are you going to sit here all night?"

Pei Yue shook his head, his tone slightly erratic: "Ye Qi."

"Um?"

"Actually, I hope I don't take this step. I have encountered other people's schemes over the years, and I have also taken the initiative to scheme against my enemies. But I have always adhered to the bottom line, which is not to involve innocent people. However, this time I personally broke the

That boundary has been crossed. Those twelve ministers may have strong or weak abilities, and their personal ethics are not perfect, but in the end they have nothing to do with this matter."

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ye Qi walked to sit next to him. As the only person who knew Pei Yue's overall plan, she could certainly understand her husband's tangled emotions at the moment.

One who does not plan for the overall situation is not enough to plan a region. However, for Pei Yue, it is not easy to make this determination.

Ye Qi raised his hand to smooth Pei Yue's frown, and said softly: "If you want to realize your ambitions, you can't just rely on others' trust and concessions. The road to power is like sailing against the current, and many times you can only take some undesirable measures.

Such an aboveboard means. But I believe that my husband will not be blinded by the desire for power, and will not become a walking corpse who has abandoned his original intention and ideals."

Pei Yue turned his head and looked at Ye Qi's shining eyes, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

He smiled gently and said no more.
