On March 17, the third year of Kaiping, Pei Yue came to this world, two years and nine months ago.

During the period after he traveled through time, the surname he heard most often was Pei, and the name that impressed him most was Pei Zhen.

This man is the eldest grandson of Dingguo Gong Pei Yuan, the first of the nine founders of Daliang. However, because Pei Yuan lived too long, he has been suppressed under the glory of his grandfather. He was born in the second year of Taihe, Emperor Taizong, when he was the youngest member of the Pei family.

In the glorious era, most of the nobles in the army came from Pei Yuan's family, and he became a new noble in the army almost effortlessly.

However, due to some reasons, Pei Yuan never let Pei Zhen take charge.

In the 20th year of Emperor Zhongzong's reign, Pei Yuan died without illness at the age of ninety-six. A few years before his death, although Pei Zhen did not join the Xifu as a military officer, he still enjoyed high prestige in the army, but he had not yet experienced

Completely consolidate your foundation through a real national war.

In the 21st year of Jianping, Emperor Zhongzong passed away. According to his will, the two princes assisted the second prince Liu Xuan to ascend the throne and became Emperor Renzong.

In May of the following year, Liu Xuan suddenly fell seriously ill, and it was difficult to treat him with medicine or stone.

In October, the Chen family's mansion in Kyoto was accused of harboring rebel bandits. Wang Pingzhang launched an army to attack the house at night, and Chen Qingchen, the head of the Chen family, died unexpectedly.

More than ten days later, Emperor Renzong Liu Xuan passed away, already on his deathbed.

In that extremely cold winter, everyone in Kyoto's dignitaries was in danger. No one knew which one would come first, death or tomorrow. After countless dark night secret room negotiations, the fourth prince Liu Zheng finally succeeded to the throne with the full support of Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang.

Although Pei Zhen did not agree, she did not object either.

The following year, Liu Zheng changed his name to Yuan Renxuan.

In July of the first year of Renxuan, the western border of Daliang was invaded by the Wu army. Pei Zhen, the Marquis of Dingyuan, asked for an order to lead the army out. With a weak force, he went deep into the Gaoyang Plain and fell into a long struggle with the Wu army. At the end of the second year of Renxuan, he finally

He captured Hucheng and began to consolidate and improve the military system on the border. However, in June of the third year of Renxuan, he suddenly fell ill and died. The news spread back to Kyoto, and the whole country mourned.

At that time, he was fifty-three years old.

After Pei Zhen passed away, Liu Zheng was almost overcome with grief. He named Pei Zhen the Duke of Dingguo and buried him with a state funeral. However, because the weather was too hot at that time, only Pei Zhen's bones were sent back to Kyoto by the palace eunuch and the military general.

.Although Pei Zhen was extremely mourned and honored after his death, the irreversible situation was that Wang Pingzhang became the biggest leader in the military.

At the end of the tenth year of Renxuan, Liu Zheng issued an order to change the Yuan Dynasty to Kaiping the following year, and a new era came.

This is the story that Pei Yue has always heard. Whether it is from people close to him or from his enemies, there is not much deviation in this story, and he has always believed it.

However, who would have thought that Pei Zhen, who had been dead for twelve years in history books, was still alive and standing in front of him now!

So how many of the stories he has heard in the past are true? How many are false?

How much have those people whom they trust so much and never doubted hidden from themselves?

This made him shudder, so the resentment on his face was not false at all.

Ye Qi was very worried at the moment.

She knew that Pei Yue was in a bad mood during this period, not only because of the exhaustion caused by the half-year-long battle, but also because of those dead brothers. During the war, he could force himself not to think about it, and use compassion not to control the soldiers and the war.

The argument that there must be casualties paralyzes oneself, but when the war is over, how can the loss of thousands of heroic souls be treated as nothing happened?

Under such circumstances, he had to face such a ridiculous situation, and there was no guarantee that he would not collapse. At least she had never seen such terrifying murderous aura emanating from Pei Yue before.

The old man opposite said gently: "Since you are here, come in and sit down."

Mr. Xi looked at Pei Yue, whose expression became increasingly grim, and said calmly: "Calm down, things are not what you think."

Pei Yue frowned and said, "I don't know who else to trust now."

Mr. Xi smiled softly and said: "You are a smart man, why do you need to get into a dead end? I didn't tell you this before because these things have nothing to do with you. After knowing them, they will affect your state of mind. Is the Duke still alive?

It doesn’t have much to do with you, I don’t know about the others, at least Gu Liang and I don’t have any bad intentions towards you, can’t you still judge this?”

Pei Yue remembered that Gu Liang had acted righteously at Taijun Pei's birthday party, and Mr. Luliu Zhuangzhong had taught him everything. The two had never made any demands on him. Indeed, as the gentleman said, no matter what difficulties they had, at least they did not harm him.

thoughts.

When he thought of this, the murderous aura in him gradually faded away.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Xi said happily: "Go in, we can't keep the Duke waiting."

The three of them walked into the main hall and took their seats according to age group. A middle-aged man with a burly physique but gray hair presented him with fragrant tea, and then sat on a small stool in the corner.

The old man took a sip of tea and said to Pei Yue, "I am Pei Zhen, your nominal grandfather."

Pei Yue didn't know how to answer.

If it weren't for his surname Pei and the old man in front of him who brought him back to the Pei family, he wouldn't have suffered so much. But from another perspective, if there was no legacy left by Pei Zhen, there would be no Mr. Xi

With He Guliang's full cultivation and without the secret help of Silent Cloud, he would not have been able to transform from a bastard to an upstart in the military in just three years.

Which is right and which is wrong? How can a few words explain it clearly?

Pei Zhen saw the contradictions and entanglements in his heart and said in a kind tone: "Sidao is right. Those things back then have nothing to do with you. Telling you will make you confused. I just hope you can live safely. I didn't expect you.

This child is so motivated, talented and extremely smart, step by step, he has reached a level that none of us could have imagined. Keeping it a secret will only make you confused, so I asked Si Dao to bring you here and tell you what happened back then.

"

Pei Yue sighed softly, temporarily put aside the entanglement in his heart, lowered his head and said, "Please tell me, husband."

Pei Zhen said slowly: "Liu Zheng, the current emperor of Daliang, is the only person I have misjudged in my life."

For some reason, two sentences that may not be very appropriate suddenly appeared in Pei Yue's mind: Duke Zhou was afraid of the rumor day, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.

A bit of sadness appeared on Pei Zhen's old face, and she shook her head and said: "From a ruthless perspective, he and Zhongzong seem to be carved from the same mold. They are indeed the biological father and son connected by blood."

"This matter started thirty-five years ago."

Thirty-five years ago?

Pei Yue's heart tightened because he had already thought about what happened thirty-five years ago.
