Chapter 945 944 [Two tigers fighting]

Guangping Marquis Mansion.

"Wang Pingzhang will definitely realize that you have a back-up plan when you take the initiative to start a conversation, but he may not be fooled."

Gu Liang sat on the Grand Master's chair in a majestic manner, holding a simple porcelain cup in his hand. After taking a sip of fragrant tea, he opened the conversation with a solemn expression. When in the palace, he must handle himself carefully.

The position must not only show concern for Pei Yue, but also not appear too biased, let alone disrupt Pei Yue's plans at will, so some words can only be reserved for private questioning.

Pei Yue said leisurely: "It's nothing more than a dilemma. Lan Yu sent a large number of people in the south to look for Lan Zhiqiu. This news must have been passed to Wang Pingzhang, but they didn't expect that I would let Qian Bing stay in Puqi City.

Then he went north along the coastline with the help of the navy's warships. After my repeated hints, if Wang Pingzhang couldn't even think of the hidden danger of Lan Zhiqiu, then he was not the Duke of Wei who I thought was deep in the city."

Gu Liang smiled, raised his hand and nodded at him, and asked with interest: "What's the dilemma?"

Pei Yue said: "Either he sits back and watches me completely destroy Wang Jiuxuan's reputation, or he kills Lan Zhiqiu before His Majesty becomes angry. If he chooses the latter, no matter whether Lan Zhiqiu dies outside the city or in the prison of Taige, he will

Everyone must expose their own power hidden under the water. It’s not that I like to curse, but Wang Pingzhang is really like an old turtle. If you don’t push him hard, he will always hide behind the scenes and cause trouble.”

Gu Liang asked again: "What if he chooses the first strategy?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "My father-in-law, Wang Jiuxuan is not Li Bingzhong. If Wang Pingzhang sits back and watches me destroy his most valued eldest grandson, it means that he has retreated to the bottom of the valley. He will not be able to continue to move forward with a bowed back. There will definitely be strong people."

Rebound. He wants the oriole to sit back and reap the benefits, so I will force him to jump out."

Gu Liang stared at him for a long time and sighed: "You are actually the most suitable to be your Majesty's loyal minister and good general."

Pei Yue was startled for a moment, and then he realized it after a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I am not just strategizing for Your Majesty. If the second prince and Wang Pingzhang gain power, I will probably have to take my whole family into exile overseas. Besides, I have always been

I don’t understand where your majesty got the confidence. If the current situation continues to develop, there might be some big trouble."

Gu Liangyan said concisely and concisely: "Because there is no danger in Kyoto."

"It's true that the Forbidden Army is in the hands of Li Zi, and Xiao Jin is in charge of the Kyoto garrison. His Majesty also used the Fourth Prince's rebellion case to carry out a major purge from the inside out. The city is already very stable. In addition, the people in Nancheng are ready at any time.

Even if the three battalions of the Beijing army go crazy and rebel at the same time, they will not be able to break through this majestic capital city in a short time." Pei Yue said with a complicated expression.

Kyoto is more than just a city. Putting aside the military power that Pei Yue mentioned, there are millions of residents and countless weapons and supplies in the city. Even if he personally leads the attack, he will face a solid city wall close to five feet high and

Tens of thousands of elite and powerful warriors can only look forward to it and sigh.

Gu Liang said calmly: "Originally, Wang Jiuxuan's presence in the Forbidden Army was a variable. Your Majesty and Wang Pingzhang each had their own plans, but by knocking Wang Jiuxuan out of the mortal world this time, you have solved the only hidden danger for Your Majesty. It is an iron rule that the capital camp cannot enter the city.

No matter you or Wang Pingzhang, can you seize the imperial city with just a few hundred soldiers in the palace? Although His Majesty likes fishing, he will not put himself in danger, and your worries are not a problem at all to him."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "You can't always place your hopes on the enemy's stupidity. I am not as confident as your Majesty, and I will not underestimate Wang Pingzhang's background."

Gu Liang returned to the previous question and said slowly: "If Wang Pingzhang continues to give in this time, even if Wang Jiuxuan is ruined and remains unmoved, what can you do to him?"

Pei Yue's eyes narrowed slightly and he said firmly: "The battle for the crown prince should be over."

Gu Liang nodded, then changed the topic and reminded: "Your Majesty will not always let you have the upper hand."

Pei Yue frowned and said in a deep voice: "Does he know that I am solving trouble for him?"

Gu Liang stood up and walked to the window, saying in a bleak tone: "Brother Yue, in His Majesty's eyes, Wang Pingzhang is certainly a trouble, so why are you not? Under the premise that it can be controlled, the harder you and Wang Pingzhang fight, the harder it will be.

The more benefits it will bring to the court, the better it will be for both of you to lose. As for the promises His Majesty made to you before...you have no words for it? They are all words."

Pei Yue turned to look at the generous back of the middle-aged man, knowing that he did not trust the emperor from the bottom of his heart because of the past, but he himself was not sure whether these words would become reality.

After a long silence, Gu Liang said: "No matter how the situation develops, you must strengthen your beliefs and be fully prepared."

Pei Yue sighed softly, and the hesitation in his eyes finally dissipated, and he nodded and said, "Okay."

…

Imperial City, in the Nuan Pavilion of Liangyi Hall.

"This is too ridiculous."

Emperor Kaiping looked at Silent Cloud with a calm expression, setting the tone for the nature of the fight that took place in the small courtyard in the northern suburbs last night.

Silent Cloud slowly raised his head, with a rare hint of pleading in his tone: "Your Majesty, Lin He's mind was a little twisted after he was disabled. I originally thought that letting him do some document work in Taige would slowly change him.

My thoughts. Now that he has committed such a serious crime, I... I am willing to use Zuo Lingchen’s official position, plus the meager achievements of more than ten years, in exchange for his life, and I beg your Majesty’s permission.”

"Nonsense."

Emperor Kaiping showed a little anger and said seriously: "You are my subordinate, how can you trade the responsibilities on your shoulders?"

Silent Cloud lowered his head and said: "After all, it is my responsibility to teach you the wrong way."

Emperor Kaiping shook his head in annoyance, and said in a slower tone: "Even I can't do whatever I want, so how can you be an exception? It's just that he investigated Pei Yue's defeat. Even if he conflicts with Pei Yue's personal guards, he can still use Taige's regulations.

As a basis. But he contacted the clan and nobles privately. If he is not killed this time, wouldn’t everyone follow suit in the future? You have been Zuo Lingchen for seventeen years, don’t you even remember the highest standards of Taige? "

Silent Cloud did not respond.

Emperor Kaiping said again: "Furthermore, if Pei Yue is not given an explanation, do you think that guy will give up?"

After a long silence, Silent Cloud said slowly: "Your Majesty, can you leave a whole body for him?"

Emperor Kaiping nodded in agreement, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "You also take this opportunity to clean up the atmosphere within Taige to prevent similar things from happening again. I don't want you to be implicated by those idiots again and again."

Silent Cloud bowed and said: "I obey your order."

Emperor Kaiping glanced to the side. After a while, a young man with a calm demeanor walked into Nuan Pavilion. It was Empress Chen's natal nephew, Chen An and Chen Jingyan.

Emperor Kaiping pointed at this person and said: "He is the deputy commander of Luan Yiwei appointed by me. He is quite attentive in his work. He is responsible for thoroughly investigating the incident last night. I know that Lin He is no different from your nephew.

He will not be allowed to bear all the charges alone, no matter Liu Fei or Wang Jiuxuan, I will give you an explanation after the investigation is complete."

Silent Cloud's eyes moved slightly when he heard the word "vice". As for the emperor's words behind him, he did not show any expression of gratitude. He lowered his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

Chen An stepped forward and saluted: "I am here to pay my respects to Master Shen. I hope that Master Shen will not hesitate to give you advice."

Silent Cloud nodded slightly, without looking at him, and only said to Emperor Kaiping: "Your Majesty, please leave."

Emperor Kaiping didn't care about these details and nodded in agreement. After the middle-aged man left, he turned to look at Chen An and saw that the expression on the young man's face was still calm. He couldn't help but smile and said: "You can learn from Silent Cloud's skills." If you don’t come, just do your own errands honestly."

Chen An said respectfully: "Please remember, Your Majesty, how far should we go in investigating this case?"

Emperor Kaiping said calmly: "Get to the bottom of it."

Chen An felt a shiver in his heart, and instantly realized that the emperor wanted to let Luan Yiwei gain a foothold in the capital, so he bowed and saluted, "I obey the decree."
