Chapter 275 Impeachment
"Although General Pei is still young, Wei Chen believes that if he does not take advantage of his youth to heal his injuries, he will inevitably leave root causes of the disease in the future. Wei Chen thinks that he can appropriately lighten the burden on General Pei's shoulders and let him take this opportunity to heal himself.
Recuperate and recuperate, I hope the emperor will think twice!"
The official's words were full of concern, and those who didn't know it thought he had such a good relationship with Pei Mo.
Pei Mo said nothing, but his eyes were a little deeper.
Some officials standing behind the Minister of Civil Affairs began to whisper.
"Yes, yes, General Pei fell from such a high cliff. It is a miracle that he came back alive. Maybe his body is not as good as before. I saw that when General Pei went to court, he walked slower than ordinary people.
Could there be something wrong with my legs and feet?"
"Yes, I also heard that the General's Mansion purchased a large amount of medicinal materials from the capital, and many people saw it. General Pei must be terminally ill, right?"
"Yes, how can such a body be able to shoulder the important task of training new recruits? Those soldiers will be guarding the border."
"It's better to assign military affairs to others. In this way, even if General Pei falls ill, he won't be left with a bunch of affairs without anyone taking over like two months ago."
Questions and scrutiny came towards Pei Mo like waves. The emperor was getting older and his temper had softened a lot. The ministers were used to whispering in the court.
Nowadays, it feels like a noisy and bustling city.
But Pei Mo, who was at the center of the topic, stood calmly, as if everything they were talking about had nothing to do with him.
The old emperor was sitting on a high dragon chair. Although he could not hear clearly what the officials below were saying, but when he saw that the flat-winged black gauze hats on their heads were almost coming together, he knew that what they said must not be good.
Looking at Pei Mo again, I saw that he was holding a tooth wat. Even though he lowered his head, his back was as straight as a bamboo in the mountains.
After two months, the old emperor felt that the hostility in Pei Mo's body seemed to have dissipated a lot, and his whole person settled down, like a pot of brewed tea.
No matter how violent the storm, he remained unmoved.
For some reason, the old emperor felt a little angry when he saw the ministers whispering to each other.
The old emperor patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said, "Silence, silence, whispering in the court hall, how unbecoming it is!"
He shouted these words, perhaps in a hurry. After he finished shouting, the old emperor coughed violently.
Upon seeing this, the eunuch on the side stepped forward to give the emperor some tea and patted him on the back to cheer him up.
I don’t know how long it had been since I saw the emperor lose his composure. The ministers below realized that they were whispering to each other too much, so they calmed down and stood in a dignified manner. They were all silent. They didn’t look like they were enjoying themselves just now.
The second prince glanced sideways at Pei Mo, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, and thought that he must add fuel to the fire, and this time he must take away Pei Mo's position!
Seeing that the emperor was much better, the second prince immediately spoke, "Father, I am very happy to know that General Pei has returned to Beijing safe and sound. God has blessed me so much that we did not lose such a talent. However, I feel that I
The Minister of the Ministry is right, the army is busy with affairs, and if General Pei is exhausted, it will not only leave the root of his disease in the future, I think General Pei should be allowed to rest more."
When the old emperor heard this, he looked at the second prince with a complicated expression. Although he didn't say anything, he thought about it carefully for a while.
After a long while, the emperor said, "Pei Aiqing, what do you think?"
Calling Pei Mo's name seemed to break the barrier between him and the troubled court.
Pei Mo raised his head when he heard this, stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, I think that the words of the second prince and the official secretary are very true, and I really need to rest for a while."
But in fact, what he was thinking about was that since returning to the General's Mansion, he always felt that his wife was much quieter. She would often sit under a tree by herself and bask in the sun for two hours.
He thought it would be better to have more time, so that he could make up for the promise he failed to fulfill.
The second prince looked at Pei Mo in astonishment and thought, is Pei Mo crazy?
Why did you suddenly become a hands-off shopkeeper?
The emperor also frowned, seeming a little puzzled.
Fang Anren was surprised and looked at Pei Mo anxiously, wishing he could go up and remind him what he said?
However, no matter how the ministers' expressions changed, Pei Mo remained as indifferent as an outsider.
The door of the main hall was open, light came in, and the ministers stood in the shadows. Only Pei Mo stood in the bright place wearing a dark official robe, as if he did not belong to this palace with darkness lurking everywhere.
The aftermath of the disaster makes people understand a lot of things.
The old emperor glanced at the gathering of officials, ministers, and others, and sighed silently as he remembered that he always saw Pei Mo alone when he went to court.
"That's all, we'll discuss this later, and let's end it here that day. I'm tired, so I'll leave the court!"
The old emperor waved his hands feebly and walked down the high white jade steps.
The ministers poured out of the hall and dispersed like birds and beasts. Pei Mo lagged behind and was stopped by the eunuch before he could leave the hall.
"General Pei stays, the emperor has invited you."
Pei Mo nodded, turned around and followed the eunuch to see the emperor.
In the imperial study room.
The old emperor took off his heavy crown and was pressing his sore neck. When he saw Pei Molai, the pain in his neck seemed to have disappeared.
"Come here, give me a seat for you!" The emperor added, "I am injured, so you don't need to salute."
Hearing this, Pei Mo didn't bother to pretend to be polite, so he didn't salute.
"I have met the emperor. I wonder why the emperor is looking for the minister?"
The emperor looked at Pei Mo in front of him and suddenly didn't know where to start. He undoubtedly had complicated feelings towards Pei Mo.
I hope that Pei Mo, who has a shadow of his former self, can go higher and higher, but I am afraid that he will go too high.
The emperor had a strange idea in his mind. It would be great if Pei Mo's surname was Sheng.
He quickly gave up this idea. It was too unreasonable. How could Pei Mo have the surname Sheng?
The emperor said, "My dear, I saw that you were silent in the main hall, but there is something unspeakable. There are only two of you here. My dear, you can speak freely. I want to hear what you are thinking."
The emperor was not unaware of the trend in the court. He knew that his sons were fighting, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
If you want to sit in this position, how can you not fight for it?
The emperor thought of Pei Mo, whom the minister of Dali Temple said was an upright man, loyal to the people but not to the powerful, loyal to Dashun but not to the noble family.
The emperor was not angry. After thinking about it, he still felt it made sense.
The Minister of Dali Temple also said that if such a person cannot blend in with the powerful, he will only be swallowed up by the powerful.
It's like being too strong and easy to break.
The old emperor withdrew his thoughts and wondered whether Pei Mo was too upright, which aroused the jealousy of the villain and wanted to frame him.
What about falling off the cliff this time?
The old emperor suddenly thought of it.
