"Pei Yue, do you know your guilt?"

Emperor Kaiping asked again. An emperor like him who had been in power for more than ten years would not easily reveal his true thoughts from his tone, so many courtiers who wanted to follow suit and impeach Pei Yue did not dare to make an immediate decision.

But if Pei Yue cannot give a strong enough rebuttal, the emotions in these people's hearts will soon converge into a huge raging wave.

Pei Yue raised his head, faced Emperor Kaiping's dark gaze with such an ungrateful gesture, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I am not guilty."

Anyone who is familiar with Emperor Kaiping knows that he attaches great importance to the majesty of the king and is unsmiling in front of most of his ministers. At this moment, listening to Pei Yue's stubborn answer, a faint smile appeared on his face and he asked: "

Not guilty?"

Pei Yue lowered his eyes and looked straight ahead, and replied: "I dare not tell lies in front of His Majesty. These five crimes have nothing to do with me."

Emperor Kaiping pondered: "Pei Rong is your biological father, is what he said all lies?"

Pei Yue took a deep breath and said sternly: "You will know the truth and falsehood as soon as you distinguish them."

This answer did not exceed Emperor Kaiping's expectations.

He has very detailed information about the young man in front of him. From his previous situation in Dingguo Mansion to the changes that have occurred in the past six months, all the deeds have already been presented in front of his imperial case. This information did not use Taishitai Pavilion

, but collected through another set of very secretive hands.

The reason why Emperor Kaiping decided to promote Pei Yue was not only to use his title to offset the impact of punishing Pei Rong, but also because he saw in Pei Yue a kind of courage that would kill even if thousands of people died.

He fought to the death with bandits in Green Willow Village, followed the Beijing army into Hengduan Mountain to suppress the bandits, and still maintained an attitude of neither being humble nor arrogant in the face of the sixth prince Liu Zhi. Emperor Kaiping saw all these things and cherished his talents.

As for the true identity of this young man, his judgment is very similar to that of Pei Taijun. Based on the atrocities committed by Renzong after his serious illness fourteen years ago, Pei Yue should be the orphan of a bad noble family, so Pei Zhen raised him under the name of Pei Rong.

A child of the Pei family who did not have the blood of the Pei family showed enough good will and ability that Emperor Kaiping did not mind giving him a chance to see if he had the ability to leap over the dragon's gate.

"Biography of Pei Rong."

As soon as the emperor gave the order, the eunuchs quickly walked out of Chengtian Hall.

"Step back." Emperor Kaiping said to Pei Yue.

"yes."

Pei Yue took the opportunity to turn around and briefly exchanged glances with Gu Liang, and the two quickly understood each other's thoughts.

Gu Liang was obviously a little worried. No matter how bad Pei Rong was, he was Pei Yue's nominal biological father after all. If he was allowed to confuse right and wrong at the court meeting, as long as Pei Yue didn't handle it well in one way, the consequences would be very serious. But at this time he

He couldn't stand up to help directly. After all, this matter was a family matter of Dingguo Mansion. In full view of the public, Gu Liang couldn't act too explicit.

Pei Yue reassured him.

In fact, after the inner supervisor read the memorial, he was not as panicked as other courtiers thought. This was because his psychological quality was extremely good, and more importantly, the five deadly sins listed by Pei Rong were slightly funny.

If Pei Rong only talked about filial piety, the two might have been at odds for a long time, but Pei Yue couldn't figure out what the meaning of the next three counts was?

Accusing him of greed, concealing military information and colluding with bandits made Pei Yue want to smash Pei Rong's head open to see if there was straw inside.

Returning to the rearmost position, the officer next to him subconsciously opened the distance between him and him.

These people looked at him with intense scrutiny in their eyes.

Pei Yue was no stranger to this kind of look. Whether it was in the early days of starting a business in his previous life or the short time he spent in Dingguo Mansion after time travel, he often encountered such looks. Even though he didn't like it, he was not afraid.

Before Pei Rong arrived, several major events were announced at the court meeting.

The first thing is to transfer Gu Liang's official position. He will step down from the position of commander of the Longxiang Battalion of the Beijing Army and be appointed as the commander of the Beijing Army Battalion. This is a temporary official position, not permanent. He is responsible for coordinating the defense of the five southern battalions in peacetime and in wartime.

Then he can command five battalions and control the four states in the south.

At the same time, Gu Liang's title was further advanced. After stagnating in the position of second-class marquis for several years, he finally succeeded in being promoted to first-class marquis, alongside Lu Min. If a national war breaks out in the south in the future, as long as he can conquer the Southern Zhou Dynasty

With this strong backbone, Gu Liang will definitely become the second official duke of this dynasty.

Pei Yue stood at the back. Although he could not clearly see the scene in front of Gu Liang receiving the order to thank him, he was still sincerely happy for him.

The second thing was that Li Pingzhong took over Gu Liang's position and was transferred as the head coach of the Beijing Army's South Camp. This transfer shocked many people.

Even a seventh-rank official at the court meeting today knew all about the officialdom of Kyoto. They soon understood that something was wrong with Li Bingzhong. Thinking of the scene where the thirteen supervisory censors jointly impeached Wang Pingzhang, they couldn't help but feel a surge in their hearts.

Doubt: Could it be that His Majesty is disgusted with Wang Pingzhang and wants someone else to replace him?

Although Emperor Kaiping clearly opposed Wang Pingzhang's move to beg for bones, this did not mean that he still valued the number one man in the Liang Army as highly as he did in the past.

With the transfer of Li Bingzhong, the position of left governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Office became vacant.

The commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army's North Camp, Chengyi Hou Guo Kaishan, took over the command of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

The current head of the Qi State Mansion, Yin Wei, the second-class Qi Yun Bo, had meritorious service in guarding the border. He was promoted to the third class Qi Yun Hou and took over as the commander-in-chief of the Beiying.

Each of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army drew one guard to rotate defenses with the border troops in advance.

Pei Yue concentrated on it and kept these changes in his mind.

What happened to Li Pingzhong was not surprising. After Shen Moyun took action, Pei Yue decided that the old man was going to be unlucky. A person like Shen Moyun would definitely not go to war just for a mere Li Zijun. Li Pingzhong was barely the target. It was just his successor.

It turned out to be Beiying coach Guo Kaishan instead of Xiying coach Changxing Hou Qujiang, whom Wang Pingzhang trusted more. This made Pei Yue a little strange.

Yin Wei is the father of Yin Dao, another tiger general among the descendants of the founding princes. According to Gu Fan, this man is extremely brave, and his family's marksmanship is unparalleled. He is one of the few nobles of his generation who can compete with Gu Liang.

One of the masters of martial arts.

Immediately after the announcement of the list of three guards to switch to the border, Pei Yue suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Pei Yue, the guard of the North Camp, was not familiar with him, but the Yanshan Guards of the South Camp and the Xiaoyong Guards of the West Camp had a close relationship with him.

Li Jin, the commander of the Yanshan Guards, had just been granted the title of Son of Yanshan. He was a loyal but not pedantic person. He and Pei Yue forged a deep friendship when they suppressed the mountain bandits. Now they were knighted together. Even if the relationship between them is not counted as Guliang, the two of them had a deep friendship.

People can also help each other.

The commander of the Heroic Guard was named Pang Bin, and Pei Yue was deeply impressed by him. At the military meeting in Chenguan Town, Pang Bin showed the image of Lu Zhi and the strong general very clearly. Of course, for Pei Yue, Pang Bin's fate

It's not important, but there are his elder brother Qin Xian and Xue Meng in the heroic guard.

When the Qing Dynasty suppressed the Hengduan Bandits, Qin Xian and Xue Meng were temporarily transferred to the South Camp, and after the war they returned to the West Camp.

Now they actually have to go to the border for rotation.

Pei Yue was a little confused at the moment.

Not only Gu Liang, but also Li Jin, Qin Xian and Xue Meng were all going to the border, which meant that the connections he had accumulated over the past six months were instantly wiped out. He looked at the emperor on the dragon throne with a complicated expression, and for a moment he was confused.

I don't know if this is a coincidence or if someone did it deliberately.

However, there was no time for him to continue thinking, because the eunuch led a man into the main hall.

Pei Yue turned around and looked over, and the man also looked over at the same moment.
