Pei Yue once heard Mr. Xi say that since the emperor came to the throne for thirteen years, he has worked hard to govern, step by step, and arranged the structures of the court and the army to check and balance each other.

When the strength of the two parties is close, there will inevitably be a struggle, but Emperor Kaiping has superb methods to control this struggle within an acceptable level.

Mr. Xi wrote two names on the table, one was Wang Pingzhang and the other was Mo Haoli.

He solemnly said: "Wang Pingzhang had a prosperous official career during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong, which was completely different from Gu Liang. When Emperor Renzong took the throne, he once thought of promoting Gu Liang to suppress Wang Pingzhang, and he and Liangjie Gong (Pei Zhen)

We have discussed it, but this kind of thing is very difficult, so we can only do it slowly. As you know what happened later, Renzong fell ill and could not afford it. After his death and his ascendance to the throne, no one can suppress Wang Pingzhang anymore, not even Liangjie Gong.

Able to maintain a balance of power."

Pei Yue thought of his biological parents, as well as Chen Xizhi and Ye Qi, and couldn't help but sneered: "This Duke is a ruthless man. He even dares to kill the emperor's women. Isn't he afraid that the courtiers will attack him?"

After a moment of silence, Mr. Xi said with a complex expression: "The reason he led the crowd to attack the Chen Mansion was to catch thieves."

Pei Yue felt extremely ridiculous. He suddenly understood why Chen Xizhi spent countless money left by the Chen family to create a group of bandits in the Hengduan Mountains. She not only wanted to use these bandits to massacre people outside Kyoto, but also

Mobilize the capital camp to achieve the purpose of attacking Xingliang Mansion.

Although her plan was foiled by Pei Yue, Pei Yue finally figured out the reason why she was so crazy.

What followed was confusion about what happened back then. Pei Yue asked calmly: "Wang Pingzhang's reason is too perfunctory. Who would believe it?"

Mr. Xi sighed softly: "Fourteen years ago, there was chaos in Beijing. After Renzong fell seriously ill, his temperament became a little violent and unprovoked. In just a few months, he ransacked the homes of many noble ministers. So in

After his death, there were not many people who objected to his enthronement. After all, he had a reputation as a virtuous man when he was still a prince. Later, he personally chose the temple name of Renzong for Emperor Yongning, and no one in the court objected."

"So that's what happened. Our Emperor doesn't seem very broad-minded."

Pei Yue shook his head. He had some knowledge of history. He had never understood why Emperor Yongning could get a temple name with the word "Ren". It turned out that it was Emperor Kaiping who used it to ridicule his atrocities. This shows that in the beginning,

Emperor Zhongzong chose Emperor Yongning to succeed him, so the current emperor may be holding back a lot of resentment in his heart.

As for how people thousands of years from now will evaluate Emperor Renzong, it probably depends on whether the current lineage can be passed down smoothly.

Mr. Xi nodded, without making any sarcasm, and continued: "You gave Pei Rong's evidence to Shen Moyun, and now Li Zijun's confession of sending someone to attack you is also in Taishitai Pavilion. What will happen to these two people?

How the emperor makes a decision, Silent Cloud's opinion only accounts for part of the influence, and the other part comes from Wang Pingzhang's opinion, what do you think Wang Pingzhang will say?"

This was the exam. After thinking about it, Pei Yue replied: "Wang Pingzhang wants to protect Li Zijun. This is because of Li Bingzhong, and since I am not dead, he has enough reasons to convince the emperor. As for Pei Rong, I don't think he will."

I will miss this opportunity to attack the forces of the founding prince."

Mr. Xi said: "Yes. Li Zijun's behavior is very bad, but for the emperor, since you are not dead, this matter has changed from a serious case with a bad nature to an opportunity to further adjust the court situation. On Pei Rong's side,

If Wang Pingzhang wanted to take this opportunity to go further, the emperor would not impose severe punishment on Pei Rong."

He didn't speak too thoroughly because he believed Pei Yue could understand what he meant.

Pei Yue stood up and walked slowly in the hall.

According to Mr. Xi, Li Zijun is likely to escape the death penalty this time, and Pei Rong may be spared by the emperor because of Wang Pingzhang.

The reason is quite simple. Emperor Kaiping values ​​​​the balance. Now Wang Pingzhang is already the number one in the army. If the Pei family falls again, can Lu Min, the right army commander, really resist his authority?

Even if the emperor knew that Pei Rong was a loser who couldn't be helped, he would not easily erase the aura of the Pei family.

When Wang Pingzhang dies in the future, the love between the two generations of Pei family princes will also be washed away by time. Emperor Kaiping can still use the national war that has been planned for more than ten years to purge the forces in the army. By then, the world will be unified, and the horses will be released to Nanshan.

Without military leaders like Pei Zhen and Wang Pingzhang, Daliang's empire would be more stable.

Pei Yue unknowingly looked at these issues from a high perspective, just like Mr. Xi had expected of him.

Through these seemingly simple cases, he gradually understood the thoughts of the man on the supreme throne.

After a long time, Pei Yue stopped and said solemnly: "Sir, I want to end Li Zijun's future, and I also want Pei Rong to be exiled three thousand miles."

This was his bottom line for the fate of the two of them.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to kill these two people officially, unless assassination is used, but who does he send to assassinate? Mr. Xi? Or Ye Qi?

You can't be so shameless as a human being.

The next best thing was to give Li Zijun no chance to take the lead in the military and political affairs, and to let Pei Rong be exiled to a barbaric land. This was the most likely revenge method he could think of.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Xi said with approval: "It's a little difficult, but not impossible. The key depends on how you operate it. I just talked about the structure of the West Palace, and now I'll tell you about the East Palace. There are two governors in the East Palace, and the right one is in charge.

Luo Ting's temperament is straightforward and a little irritable, probably because he is still young. His acting style is bold and decisive, which is quite the style of a tyrannical ruler in ancient times. Mo Haoli, the leader of the left, is not someone to be trifled with, especially if you step into the court in the future.

pay attention."

Pei Yue said respectfully: "Sir, please give me some advice."

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "This Lord Mo has practiced the art of kingship, and is especially good at exegesis and exegesis of scriptures. Five of the twelve ministers in the six departments of the imperial court are his disciples. In addition, he has outstanding political abilities. He is often the

Luo Ting made a big fuss in the front, and then he came to clean up the situation. Daliang's national power has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and it is inseparable from his overall management."

Pei Yue said: "I understand, but sir, what does this Lord Mo have to do with the two cases we are discussing?"

Mr. Xi looked at him with some pity and said calmly: "Mo Haoli's attitude will determine whether you can successfully get that title. At the same time, civil servants don't like nobles, and they don't want to see a fourteen-year-old

The Viscount appears. If you are criticized by them, what happens in Hengduan Mountain will have different results, such as the fate of Chang Si and Pei Rong."

Pei Yue suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

It's obviously a very simple case. Doesn't Daliang have any laws?

But he also knows that when things rise to a certain level, the law is often just a means to attack the other party.

Mr. Xi said: "If the imperial edict of conferring a title is to be issued, it must pass through two governments, so you are likely to be called to the court meeting, which is the battlefield where the final outcome of this matter will be decided."

Although there were many troubles in front of him, Pei Yue did not despair. His eyes were slightly excited and he said slowly: "Sir, I want to be quiet these days. Could you please send someone to talk to Uncle Gu and Silent Cloud?" .By the way, try not to involve Ye Qi."

Mr. Xi agreed, then smiled and said: "If you let Ye Qi live in, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary wanderer, right?"

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Sir, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go see her."

Saying that, he left quickly.
