220 [See through]
After the court meeting, Silent Cloud left the palace in a hurry. He wanted to arrange for the crows from Tai Pavilion to seal and search the Qibao Pavilion.
Sun Dacheng was stripped of his official uniform and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice to await trial. The once famous Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs finally came to the end of his life. Since Silent Cloud said so firmly at the court meeting that he had stolen and sold grain and grass, the subsequent questioning was not enough. It was just a formality, because no one believed that Silent Cloud would talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
A chief eunuch and several small Huangmen hurried to Prince Lu's Mansion to deliver Emperor Kaiping's oral instructions to the eldest prince.
Pei Yue slowly walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, with no look of complacency on his face.
"Boy Pei, stay."
An old voice came from behind. Pei Yue turned around and saw Mo Haoli, the governor of Dongfu Zuo and the de facto prime minister of Daliang, looking at him with a smile, a gentle look on his face.
Pei Yue subconsciously thought that he was hallucinating his hearing. It was only when he saw the other party's expression that he confirmed that the leftist ruler was indeed speaking to him.
"Lord Mo." Pei Yue must maintain enough respect for this old man who has endured for four dynasties and whose official position is getting higher and higher. Now he is at the top of the civil service and has been named Taifu.
Mo Haoli nodded and said, "How about walking with me for a while?"
Naturally, Pei Yue would not refuse and nodded: "This is the honor of this junior."
The two of them walked along the straight road in the palace. The purple-clad ministers looked at this scene with complex eyes, and no one came forward to disturb them. There were many among the nobles who wanted to talk to Pei Yue about the honeycomb coal investment after the court was over, but After seeing Mo Haoli calling Pei Yue to his side, he could only look for another opportunity. Although Luo Ting was mainly responsible for the affairs of the court in recent years, Mo Haoli only sat in the center and rarely intervened in specific details, but he was able to participate in the regular affairs of the court. None of the civil and military officials would look down upon this frail old man.
When Mr. Xi helped Pei Yue analyze the courtiers, Mo Haoli was the top priority. Although since Pei Yue officially entered the court, the old man has been quiet and does not seem to have done anything surprising. But no matter it is Both Mr. Xi and Gu Liang solemnly reminded him that the tiger is still the king of beasts even in old age.
Mo Haoli noticed the tense posture of the young man next to him, and couldn't help but said warmly: "Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you for a few words."
Pei Yue said respectfully: "The old man is laughing, but the younger generation has never seen a big scene, so it is inevitable to be nervous."
Mo Haoli smiled and said: "You are too cautious to say so. A viscount who was only fifteen years old, with one move, overthrew a minister of household affairs, banned a prince and prince, and demolished a family that had been in business for thirty years. Firm, if this isn’t a big event, what else is?”
Pei Yue immediately raised his alertness to the highest level.
Of course he understands the so-called "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Everyone", but with Mo Haoli's status, it seems that there is no need to use pretentious words to a young martial artist like himself. Nowadays, these big hats are thrown away as if they are free of money. He came out, but he didn't know what he was hiding.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yue said cautiously: "Sir, this junior is just forced to fight back and has no intention of harming anyone."
Mo Haoli nodded and said, "I understand, otherwise Luo Jiyu wouldn't help you."
This sentence made Pei Yue feel a little shocked. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the old man, only to see that his cloudy eyes at the court meeting had become much clearer, and his eyes were filled with wisdom and depth.
Pei Yue was confident that no one knew about the secret meeting with Luo Ting that night, and his cooperation in the hall today was very natural, and there should be no flaws exposed.
Seemingly reading his inner thoughts, Mo Haoli continued: "If he didn't favor you, he wouldn't take the initiative to help you bring up the topic of briquettes. In that case, if you take the initiative to offer tips and strategies,
It will inevitably appear stiff, after all
Your business has been running for nearly a year, and you have too much time to meet with Your Majesty. I should know better than you what kind of person Luo Jiyu is. Judging from his personality and temperament, only you two have reached some kind of agreement. He
Only then will I be willing to pave the way for you."
There was no one around them, and other officials subconsciously stayed away. Pei Yue still looked around nervously.
Although the sun was shining brightly in mid-October, there was already a hint of coolness in the air, but he felt cold sweat breaking out on his body and his face felt a little hot.
Mo Haoli shook his head slightly and said: "I told you before, don't be nervous. This is just a guess. To say the least, even if you really have an agreement, it is not a treasonous act. Since I didn't do anything at the court meeting,
Ming, let alone being a villain afterwards."
Pei Yue felt that his throat was a little dry, and he forced a smile and said: "Sir, are you just saying this to scare the younger generation?"
This is the default meaning.
Mo Haoli's face remained calm. He looked at the spacious square in front of the palace and the straight and flat road inside the palace, and said with emotion: "If you hadn't come forward to help that bastard Jian Rong out of trouble, naturally we wouldn't be having this conversation today.
"
Pei Yue suddenly understood and looked at the old man with more and more awe.
Mo Haoli said softly: "You have been patient for a long time and turned around, but you can still keep your original intention clear. I think it is very good, so I just said a few words. Don't dislike it."
Pei Yue quickly replied: "Juniors don't dare, sir, please tell me."
Mo Haoli was silent for a moment and then said: "A temple is no more reckless than a grassland. You cannot take risks in everything. Even if you win in the moment, you will eventually lose in the long run."
Pei Yue remained silent, a little disapproving in his heart.
Take today's incident as an example. If he hadn't shown weakness to the enemy from the beginning to the end, making those people think that he was powerless to resist, and even lost his meticulousness, leaving many loopholes, how could he have completed the reversal?
With the financial power of Qibao Pavilion, the authority of the Minister of Household Affairs and the power of King Lu, how could he, a young viscount with no foundation, be able to achieve what he is today without risk?
Mo Haoli looked at his complicated expression, sighed softly in his heart, and said softly: "Everyone who walks by will leave footprints. Today you used the eldest prince to plot Qibao Pavilion, and used Chief Zheng to plot Sun Shangshu. These things seem to be
Let nature take its course, but is there really no trace to be found? If I can see it, you are not afraid that His Majesty will come to his senses afterwards? How will you deal with yourself then? "
The excitement and arrogance in Pei Yue's heart gradually subsided. Although he was not afraid yet, he had woken up.
Mo Haoli continued to ask: "Although that hunky boy Jian Rong has a clear name, he is just a powerless censor with no subordinates and no money at home. Not to mention going to the bamboo house to have fun, he
Where does the door of Lianzhulou open?
I don’t even know. What I’m curious about is, how could Jian Rong know the details of the banquet between you and the eldest prince? Could it be that he was a descendant from heaven and knew with just a few fingers that the eldest prince wanted to buy it for 150,000 taels?
Your industry?”
