After Emperor Kaiping was silent for a moment, he said to Luo Ting: "You have to work harder during this period. Just stay overnight in the former court to prevent the isolation between China and the outside world and make people's hearts wander."

Luo Ting sighed in his heart, Your Majesty is indeed a man of great perseverance. Even if he is so weak now, he can still grasp the most important joints. Letting Pei Yue investigate the case is based on trust on the one hand, and on the other hand, because he, as a new dignitary, has a close relationship with

The relationship between the various forces in the capital is not deep. Only in this way can we investigate clearly and thoroughly eliminate the unstable factors in the country.

This was of course an offending job, but it also symbolized great authority and the emperor's trust, which was regarded as a reward for Pei Yue's efforts to turn the tide this time.

As for the important ministers staying overnight, it is obviously because the emperor is currently at his weakest, and any slight disturbance may cause turmoil in the capital. Therefore, the important ministers of the two governments and Huang Rentai and other ministers are allowed to stay overnight in the former court. This can not only shock Xiaoxiao, but also prevent the palace.

Something unexpected happened.

To put it bluntly, after the emperor experienced the rebellion of King Yan, it was difficult for the emperor to fully trust the nobles and several adult princes in the palace, and he had to make some preparations to deal with it.

The eldest prince and the second prince did not react to this, obviously not aware of the deep meaning of Emperor Kaiping. On the contrary, Empress Chen and Concubine Wu, who were standing behind the dragon bed, had a sad look in their eyes.

After Luo Ting agreed, he added: "Your Majesty, please rest in peace. I will live up to your trust."

Emperor Kaiping blinked twice.

Seeing that the emperor was in poor spirits, Luo Ting bowed to Huang Rentai and others and resigned.

Emperor Kaiping suddenly said: "Pei Yue stays."

No one was surprised. Pei Yue obviously played a great role in thwarting Liu Zan's coup this time. Coupled with the loyalty and ability he has shown in the past, he will definitely gain the emperor's absolute trust.

After Luo Ting and others left, Emperor Kaiping said to the others: "You all get out."

Queen Chen frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Your Majesty——"

Emperor Kaiping interrupted her, but his attitude was not harsh, and he said calmly: "Go out, I want to talk to Pei Yue about something serious."

Empress Chen, Concubine Wu and the two princes could only bow and leave.

With no one around at this moment, Pei Yue stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with the technique?"

Emperor Kaiping slowly sat up, leaned on the pillow, and shook his head slightly.

Before going to Xingliang Mansion, the emperor and his ministers had already decided on a strategy. Pei Yue asked Ye Qi to teach him how to fake death, and then told Emperor Kaiping in his own name, thus creating the illusion that the emperor was in danger.

In fact, their initial thoughts were not entirely against Liu Zan, because they were not sure what the so-called rebellion was, so Emperor Kaiping planned to pretend to be poisoned, and then with Pei Yue outside and Silent Cloud and Gu Liang inside, they quietly waited for the conspiracy.

The emergence of rebellious people.

The presence of Pei Yue and others can at least ensure that the situation will not get out of control instantly, and Emperor Kaiping can wake up in advance if necessary.

However, they did not expect that there would be an assassination attempt on Huanqiu Altar, nor did they expect that Liu Zan would collude with Duan Wang Liu Xiang.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you can't take such risks in the future."

Emperor Kaiping asked curiously: "You took countless risks during the war in the Western Region, and now you come to persuade me?"

Pei Yue said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am a general. On the battlefield, the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we have to take risks. But you are different. You are the emperor of Daliang. There are many ways to solve the problem. This time, on the one hand, Your Majesty has to do it in advance.

I have made a lot of preparations, but on the other hand, King Yan is indecisive and only wants to get things done at the minimum cost, otherwise I would never dare to escort the Holy Emperor into the city."

Emperor Kaiping was silent after hearing this.

Pei Yue's words are very reasonable. If Emperor Kaiping were in Liu Zan's position, he would immediately take control of Kyoto and kill Gu Liang at all costs, and then force Pei Yue to hand over the Holy Driver, otherwise he would directly command the capital to attack.

He would never give Pei Yue a chance to use his methods. Even after Pei Yue entered the city, Emperor Kaiping would immediately order the death of this person.

After all, Luo Ting was just a civil servant, so being able to convince Liu Zan by walking up to the city wall with a few colleagues only meant that the latter was not that good at all.

After a long time, Emperor Kaiping sighed: "My game this time is not just for Liu Zan."

Pei Yue pondered: "Your Majesty, do you think the Wei Guoguo will be on Liu Zan's side?"

Emperor Kaiping nodded slightly.

Pei Yue thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think Wei Guogong will do this, because King Yan has no possibility of success. Furthermore, he is now a highly respected minister, and it is impossible for the Tian family to give him a hereditary

Will he continue to endure the unfair treatment? Although His Majesty has reduced his authority, he has not moved his military position, not even the Western Camp. Wei Guogong should not take the initiative to embark on the path of rebellion."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Do you think others are as loyal as you?"

These words made Pei Yue slightly embarrassed, and he said honestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping smiled, and then said in a complicated tone: "I have known Wang Pingzhang for nearly thirty years, and worked together with the emperor and ministers for sixteen years. I know what kind of person he is. Forget it, let's leave him alone for the time being. Now he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies.

Both the Mansion and the Kyoto garrison are vacant, do you have any suggestions for candidates?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is not the minister's turn to comment on this kind of thing."

Emperor Kaiping looked up at him and said calmly: "Do you want to temporarily act as the Kyoto garrison?"

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle and said calmly: "This position is too important and I am not qualified for it."

Emperor Kaiping sighed in his heart. Once upon a time, his expectation for Pei Yue was to let this young man take care of the northern camp and become a magic sword when he went south to conquer Zhou. After the great task of conquering Zhou was completed, if Pei Yue himself did not know how to retreat bravely,

, then he can be used to calm the jealousy of other ministers and avoid the serious worries of the next emperor in a hundred years.

After all, there is a word in this world called Master of High Gong Zhenzhu, and Pei Yue is still so young.

However, after experiencing many things in the past six months, Emperor Kaiping's mind gradually changed, and his previous ideas began to waver.

Let Pei Yue be transferred from the northern camp to the Kyoto garrison division, naturally to prevent him from going south to continue to seize the credit. On the surface, it is to suppress him, but in fact, it is to protect him.

After Pei Yue declined politely, Emperor Kaiping did not ask any more questions and changed the topic: "What do you think of the performance of the Forbidden Army this time?"

Pei Yue looked at the emperor in surprise. He always thought that the silence of the imperial army was the instruction of Emperor Kaiping. However, it seems that this is not the case now?

Emperor Kaiping said in a deep voice: "There are still many strange things about this matter. Why did the people in the south inform you in advance? How many Xian family members are there in Kyoto? Zhang Wu betrayed me and went to Liu Zan just because Liu Zan could give him a

The position of Duke? In addition, how many people are secretly colluding with Liu Zan? You must find out clearly."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."

"As for the Forbidden Army, you don't need to worry about it for the time being. I have my own arrangements."

"yes."

"Go back, those people in your house must be worried."

Pei Yue was a little surprised. Looking at the gentle look on the emperor's face, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

After returning to the capital this time, he saw with his own eyes that the emperor had become more humane. He was no longer the cold king who used the people of the world as pawns. Especially his attitude towards him was vaguely a bit like that of an elder.

However, it was hard for Pei Yue to forget that he had cursed "an independent man" in front of Silent Cloud on the top of Guping Military Town.

The fragrance lingers in the hall.

Pei Yue glanced at Emperor Kaiping's tired face, bowed silently and left.
