After a long silence, Pei Yue looked up at Emperor Kaiping and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Kyoto has not been peaceful recently."

Civil servants have a difficult time because the power of the Beijing Police is too great, and its intensity this time is unprecedented.

The Ministry of Personnel was strictly evaluated in accordance with the Four Grids and Eight Methods, and not many officials could fully meet the requirements. Complaints could be heard everywhere for a while, but because Luo Ting and Han Gongduan were personally in charge, there was no big fight. In fact, everyone

Knowing that Emperor Kaiping suddenly launched the imperial inspection, on the one hand, it was to help Han Gongduan establish his prestige, and on the other hand, it was natural to eliminate the poor and retain the elite, improve the operational efficiency of the court, and further prepare for the great cause of conquering Zhou Dynasty.

This was a chain reaction after Mo Haoli fell ill.

If this veteran of the Four Dynasties is still in charge of the East Palace, Luo Ting and Han Gongduan must take his attitude into consideration. According to past practice, Mo Haoli's tactics will not be too tough, and the officials below will not be so panicked.

Walking in the fields.

The current situation is like boiling water with a heavy lid on top. On the surface, there seems to be no danger. If the lid is lifted, the grievances in many people's hearts will inevitably be vented.

Emperor Kaiping thought that he was nervous about the grievances of the civil servants, so he shook his head and joked: "The imperial inspection is the official process of purging officials in the imperial court. I believe that Luo Jiyu and Han Gongduan will make a just decision. Pei Yue, you even edited the document compiled by Hanlin

Even if I dare to slap you, do you still worry about those civil servants disturbing my frame?"

After a moment of hesitation, Pei Yue made up his mind and said: "Your Majesty, I am not referring to Jingcha."

In recent years, the emperor has mainly used him. Although his attitude has changed recently, there is essentially no difference. An emperor like Emperor Kaiping who is extremely good at imperial thinking will never leave an unsolvable trouble to his descendants.

The more he uses Pei Yue now, then he will definitely choose Feiniao Jinliang Gongzang after pacifying the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

However, Pei Yue could not sit back and watch the other party fall into crisis.

At least in recent years, it is a good thing for Pei Yue that Kaiping Emperor decides the world. It can help him solve most of his troubles. If the rebellion mentioned by Leng Ning can succeed, no matter who is on the throne, Pei Yue will

It will be difficult for Yue Du to continue to maintain his current status and power. As for the situation and crisis in a few years, Pei Yue will certainly not waste his time and wait for death.

All he needs now is time.

Emperor Kaiping was secretly surprised and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What on earth do you want to say?"

Pei Yue exhaled a breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I got news not long ago that someone in the capital intends to assassinate you and plot rebellion."

The air around them seemed to be stagnant for an instant. The people in the palace only hated themselves for having a pair of ears, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out.

Emperor Kaiping looked calm, put down the fishing rod in his hand, stood up and walked to the edge of the water pavilion, holding the railing with both hands, staring at the steamy lake surface, and suddenly chuckled.

Pei Yue had no choice but to get up and follow him.

Emperor Kaiping mocked slightly: "Raise the flag to rebel?"

Emperor Zhongzong dared to kill everyone in the Chu government in the second year after he ascended the throne. Emperor Kaiping was able to force Pei Zhen to leave Kyoto just after he came to the throne. This is because they occupy the righteous title of Lord of Heaven and Earth. Don't be petty.

Judging from the power of Shi Chu Ming Ming in this era, the key point of raising a flag for rebellion lies in the first two words.

Pei Yue could understand the emperor's disdain and confidence, but according to his speculation, the situation this time was not that simple.

"Your Majesty, I learned from an old friend a few days ago that someone in the capital is planning something big. Although she doesn't know who is behind the scenes, there are not many people in the capital who have the ability, ambition, and courage to do so.

"

"Old friend?"

"yes."

Pei Yue responded, and then said calmly: "Her name is Leng Ning, and her ancestors are all Zhou people, so she should also be from Zhou. However, she has lived in Kyoto since she was very young, and most of the time she thinks she is from Liang. Chen

I don’t know how to judge her identity, I can only make sure that the news she brings is not false.”

Emperor Kaiping remained silent.

After a long time, he looked ahead and said slowly: "Pei Yue."

"I'm here."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know."

"I have always hated people who secretly collude with enemy countries. Li Zijun is a lesson learned from the past."

"I know."

"Now you tell me that a Zhou people discovered that someone in the capital is plotting to rebel. Do you think I should believe you?"

Pei Yue sighed softly, looked at the sparkling lake and said: "The matter is very important, I can only report it truthfully. Of course, I still have a little selfishness, because my maid Taohua is the daughter of Leng Ning. In other words

,peach blossom

In fact, she is also from the Zhou Dynasty. Although she has lived with me in Dingguo Mansion since she was a child, she is definitely not a spy like Nan Qin. However, after all, paper cannot cover the fire. After repeated consideration, I decided to take the initiative to confess the matter to His Majesty."

Xianyun commented that the scholar named Shen He was making trouble in the east and west. If Fu Hongzhi's grandfather hadn't come to the rescue, Pei Yue would definitely be in some trouble. He didn't know how many secrets the enemy knew. The best solution was to find an opportunity to take the initiative.

Uncover the secret.

Emperor Kaiping turned to look at Pei Yue and continued to ask: "Actually, you should have known the identity of that maid long ago, right?"

Pei Yue lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes."

Emperor Kaiping's face was calm, and his eyes showed a bit of coldness: "Why didn't you tell me until now?"

Pei Yue answered honestly: "Because I am afraid."

Emperor Kaiping raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid now?"

Pei Yue thought for a while, nodded and said: "I'm afraid, but His Majesty is leaving Kyoto suddenly. If I want to convince Your Majesty, I have to tell the truth to be credible. Your Majesty, I think this matter is related to the conspiracy of the Chu government thirty-six years ago."

It is related to the counter-case, so people from the south will let me know about it through condensation. In the previous assassination on Yulong Street, one of the assassins was most likely a descendant of the Xian family who defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. I suspect that this incident was caused by the four

Prince——"

Emperor Kaiping suddenly interrupted him: "Someone told me before that the maid next to you is not from Liang, but a descendant of the Zhou people who were carried to Dingguo Mansion after that night sixteen years ago."

Pei Yue was stunned, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

Emperor Kaiping said calmly: "I don't even hesitate to give you a concubine who comes from a family of officials in the Western Wu Dynasty, let alone a mere maid? Don't worry about this, I have never cared about it."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and said: "The defense of Xingliang Mansion has always been under the responsibility of the Beijing Army's North Camp. You are now the deputy commander of the North Camp. That old guy Tan Fu is mediocre in ability, so you have to shoulder this responsibility."

Pick it up."

Pei Yue looked at the emperor with wide eyes.

Do you know the seriousness of this matter? Can't you see how vicious Liu Zan is? All my previous words are in vain?

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "The sacrifice to heaven to pray for rain will not be cancelled. I order you to be the defense manager of the Holy Driving Camp and be responsible for protecting my safety."

Pei Yue felt bitter in his heart, raised his hands and saluted, "I sincerely ask your Majesty to take back my order."

"It's just a bunch of clowns, why should we be afraid?"

Emperor Kaiping raised his hand and patted Pei Yue on the shoulder. This scene fell into the eyes of those in the palace, and they even suspected that they had seen it wrong.

When has His Majesty ever been so close to his ministers?

Emperor Kaiping walked away, leaving behind a calm and gentle word.

"Pei Yue, this world is picturesque. You can watch it with me in the future."
