Although Luo Ting was teaching Pei Yue a lesson, he also strengthened Emperor Kaiping's intention to raise the stick high in his hand and lower it gently.

As the young and powerful ruler said, Pei Yue dared to go against the eldest prince because of Pei Ning's little kindness, and even risked his life to ruin his marriage. Such a person is actually very rare. A drop of kindness can be repaid by a spring, then Wouldn't Pei Yue still be loyal to Emperor Kaiping who promoted him from a concubine to deputy commander of the Beijing camp and second-class prince?

The reason why Emperor Kaiping could tolerate Pei Yue's nonsense was largely due to the young man's temperament, especially after he killed Chen Xizhi to prove his identity, he used him without any grudges.

Loyal, capable, and honest, even though such people may sometimes be impulsive, in the eyes of Emperor Kaiping, they are actually advantages.

He suppressed these thoughts, looked at Pei Yue and sneered: "You are still in the mood to quarrel with the Luo Qing family here. When Qingliu from the Hanlin Academy and the imperial students from the Imperial College take turns writing articles to scold you tomorrow, I think You have hundreds of mouths that you can handle!"

Pei Yue scratched his head.

Silent Cloud said from the side: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go and deal with it?"

"Need not!"

Emperor Kaiping flatly rejected it and said in a deep voice: "This is the method he chose, and he has to bear it himself. I don't know where he got the courage. No matter how domineering Wu Xun's relatives have been for so many years, he has not dared to I beat up the civil servants of the Hanlin Academy. This guy ruined the eldest prince’s marriage. I have already taken advantage of him by not punishing him, and I have to help him calm down the storm. How can such a good thing happen?"

Pei Yue pursed his lips, looking a little aggrieved.

Emperor Kaiping looked at his strange appearance and smiled angrily: "That's all, send some people to keep an eye on him. If those Qingliu civil servants are just talking, ignore them, but they are not allowed to gather in groups to make trouble."

Silent Cloud understood and said: "I obey the decree."

Emperor Kaiping said to Pei Yue again: "Are you satisfied this time?"

The implication was to drive him away. Pei Yue remained motionless and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."

"If you fart, let it go! From now on, don't use such harsh words in front of me. You have obviously never read a book seriously, but you still want to imitate those literati. It sounds harsh."

"I have remembered it. Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a decree from you."

When Emperor Kaiping saw that he was pushing the envelope, he asked angrily: "What's the purpose?"

Pei Yue smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Majesty, not many people know about Sister Chen's marriage, and those who know it don't dare to talk nonsense. For example, Master Shen and Master Luo, will they publicize His Highness Prince Lu's marriage after they leave?" ? Therefore, I sincerely feel that Your Majesty does not need to worry about it. However, my eldest sister is too good, so it is inevitable that there will be those crazy bees and butterflies. In addition, Pei Rong and Li's parents are really inconsistent. If I force her to get married again, I really don’t know what I will do..."

"What a waste of time!" Emperor Kaiping interrupted his chattering loudly.

Pei Yue bowed slightly and said: "I will make a long story short and ask your Majesty to grant an imperial edict to allow my eldest sister to decide on her own marriage."

Emperor Kaiping looked around and saw that the porcelain bowl on the table had just been thrown down, and he couldn't find the weapon he could use.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, say it well and don't get angry." Pei Yue said with a bitter smile.

"Get out of here, I don't want to see you in three days!"

Emperor Kaiping shouted angrily, took a memorial and threw it at Pei Yue.

Pei Yue shrank his head, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, I will go back now."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Emperor Kaiping cursed: "I really don't know what to say!"

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "This is also because Your Majesty is merciful, otherwise no minister would dare to speak like this. I don't know what is in his head. He dares to waste his own efforts for a sister. If it were someone else, he would only want to Hold on to your title and military position."

Luo Ting said lukewarmly: "You are just young and frivolous."

Emperor Kaiping's heart was moved, but he did not issue the imperial edict as Pei Yue wished. Since ancient times, no king would directly interfere in the marriage of his minister's daughter. He would not be so ridiculous. He glanced at Silent Cloud with a calm expression and said, He said calmly: "Find a time to go to Dingguo Mansion and warn that couple."

Silent Cloud understood the meaning of the song and said with a smile: "Yes, I will retire."

Emperor Kaiping waved his hand, and then said to Luo Ting: "Luo Qing, please stay, I have something else to ask you."

The imperial study finally became quiet, and the palace people standing outside also breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Ting looked calm, walked a few steps to the side and picked up the memorial, then placed it respectfully on the imperial desk in front of the emperor, and then walked back to where he was standing just now.

Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "Luo Qing, I remember you have a daughter..."

Luo Ting was startled and said slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, my surname is not Pei."

Emperor Kaiping laughed and said: "That's not what I meant. You are a gentleman like a pine and a cypress, and you are also a minister of Daliang. How could I let you marry the Tian family and let you be jealous of the courtiers? Wouldn't that be destroying your foundation?"

Luo Ting said in confusion: "I do have a daughter. I wonder what your majesty means?"

Emperor Kaiping said meaningfully: "Since I came to the throne, I have never proposed marriage to any of my ministers, but now I have an opportunity, which is not considered disrespectful to you."

Luo Ting came to his senses after thinking for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter is still young, and this matter is inappropriate."

Emperor Kaiping asked: "Why? Although I taught Pei Yue a bit harshly, you should understand that except for the prince, there are very few outstanding young people like him in the capital."

Luo Ting said: "As far as I know, the legitimate daughters of Zhongshan Marquis and Guangping Marquis will be engaged soon."

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "Since we haven't been engaged yet, we can't do anything about it, and you are more suitable to be Pei Yue's Taishan than Gu Liang."

Luo Ting's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the hidden meanings of the emperor's proposal. It was not only to cut off the connection between Pei Yue and Gu Liang so that they could be reused in the future, but it also contained a hidden intention to test himself. .

He said calmly: "Your Majesty, I do have some appreciation for Zhongshan Marquis. This is because he figured out briquettes and helped the court build the Carboniferous Temple. Although he was young, noble and impulsive, and sometimes acted too ruthlessly, for this merit On the surface, I will not deliberately target him. This is just an attitude on official matters. In private, I do not want to have much contact with him, let alone betroth my daughter to him."

Emperor Kaiping asked: "Why?"

Luo Ting said calmly: "Because he doesn't know how to write."

Emperor Kaiping laughed dumbly and seemed a little helpless. Luo Ting was not Pei Yue. It was obviously impossible for such an iron-clad civil servant to use the authority of the king to force him to bow his head.

When he thought of this, he sighed with a little regret, and then changed the topic: "Luo Qing, who do you think is the better among my princes?"
