The Daliang Palace was expanded on the basis of the palace city of the former Wei Dynasty. The main layout is the three main halls of the former dynasty, the harem palace complex, and the garden to the north of the harem. Thousands of houses with pavilions on top of each other, with carved beams and paintings everywhere, make up this palace.

The majestic palace city.

The garden is the royal garden, including the Imperial Garden, Taiye Pond and Ziwei Mountain.

Under the guidance of Liu Bao, the eunuch of the palace, Pei Yue bypassed the three front halls, went straight through the harem, and came to the mist-filled Taiye Pool.

Not far away, there is a golden yellow dragon umbrella erected on the water pavilion on the pool platform. Emperor Kaiping is dressed in ordinary clothes, sitting on a soft couch, holding a long fishing rod in his hand.

Pei Yue had a bad taste in his heart and wanted to see if there was any bait on the emperor's fishhook.

A palace servant brought a tea table and placed it about half a foot to the left of the soft couch.

Emperor Kaiping didn't squint his eyes, as if staring at the water in the distance, and said unhurriedly: "Sit down and talk."

Pei Yue thanked him respectfully on his face, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart. He clearly looked like a primary school student who made a mistake and was being scolded.

Emperor Kaiping caught a glimpse of Pei Yue's frown from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help scolding him softly: "You ungrateful brat."

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment and asked blankly: "Why does your Majesty scold me?"

Emperor Kaiping said: "Don't you think this little chair does not suit your status? Why don't you go out and ask, except for the important ministers of the two governments, which minister can sit in front of me and answer questions? Let alone a young and weak man.

Brat."

Pei Yue quickly denied it and said: "Your Majesty, of course I know that this is a supreme honor, but I have long hands and long legs, and this person is too small."

Emperor Kaiping sneered and said, "Then just stand."

Pei Yue smiled and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat."

Emperor Kaiping seemed to have no way to deal with him, so in the end he could only laugh and curse: "Lazy!"

The palace people standing nearby have become accustomed to this scene. Although they never dare to show it on their faces, the idea in their hearts becomes clearer and clearer. It seems that His Majesty, who is wise and powerful, only occasionally shows his emotions in front of Pei Yue.

Distinct human taste.

They are not jealous of Pei Yue's holy family, but are grateful to this young powerful man from the bottom of their hearts, because only at this time can they relax a little and not be as walking on thin ice as usual. After all, it is never a lie to accompany a king like a tiger.

Pei Yue followed Emperor Kaiping's gaze and looked at the water. The early summer wind blew by, and the lake water was slightly rippled, but the fishing line never moved. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Your Majesty, are there really fish in this pond?"

Emperor Kaiping said calmly: "The more times they bite the hook, the more naturally they will hide deeper."

He handed the fishing rod to Liu Bao who was next to him, and the latter quickly went to change the bait.

Pei Yue said: "No matter how deep you hide, there will always be a moment when you can't help but float up."

Emperor Kaiping turned to look at him and asked, "What did Liu Xian talk about with you?"

Pei Yue looked indifferent, thought for a while and said: "His Highness, I surrendered and took the initiative to settle the old grudges with you. Then I accompanied Your Highness to see the internal situation of Beiying."

Emperor Kaiping said slightly surprised: "You are actually willing to agree?"

Pei Yue said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I am not a porcupine in the mountains and fields. I think about fighting with people all day long. I have almost never stopped having troubles in these years. I really hate this kind of life, and there are too many dangers. Okay.

With His Majesty's protection, I can live peacefully until now."

Emperor Kaiping laughed and said, "It's not easy to hear my kind words from your mouth."

Pei Yue was stunned, and then said calmly: "I always believe that doing is more important than talking."

Emperor Kaiping said: "This sentence is correct, but it is also important to say it in many cases. What are the results of Beiying's recent training?"

Pei Yue knew that the emperor knew these things very well, so he still answered honestly: "Pingnan and Wuding guards have made great progress, but Tai'an guards are worse. As for the Zangfeng guards, I actually paid great attention to them when I was in Lingzhou.

Through daily training, this kind of thing has long been a habit in their bones. I asked Wei Rui to divide the Tibetan Front Guard into two groups and take turns to adapt to the complex terrain in the south in advance."

Emperor Kaiping nodded slightly, took the fishing rod from Liu Bao, and said calmly: "It is a good thing to prepare for a rainy day, but there is no need to be too hasty. A national war requires a long time to prepare, and being too hasty is the way to defeat. I know

You are very smart, even Mo Haoli has praised you repeatedly, but you must remember that pacifying the world cannot be accomplished overnight."

Pei Yue said sternly: "Please remember this."

He found that the emperor's attitude towards him had undergone some changes, not only the superficial closeness, but also a bit more sincere trust than before.

This should be the credit of Mo in charge.

Emperor Kaiping asked with great interest: "When will the Qinyuan be completed?"

Pei Yue replied: "It will probably take more than a month."

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "People outside say that you are generous, but I think you are stingy. Chen An has helped you so much, but you are just a cashier. You only sold him ten shares, which is not grand at all."

.”

Pei Yue said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I was afraid that he wouldn't dare to ask for it. I just had the courage to say it."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Why doesn't he dare to ask for it? As long as you are willing to give it, he will naturally dare to accept it."

Pei Yue then asked: "How much does your Majesty think is appropriate?"

Emperor Kaiping said: "Give him half, but you can't ask him for more money. The queen is not rich either, so I have to pay for the money in the end. You kid has made a lot of money over the years, my money

If there is no trace of filial piety in the treasury, I cannot give you money as a messenger."

Pei Yue was shocked that the emperor actually pointed out this matter directly. It seemed that his guess just now was correct, but this kind of trust is difficult to judge in terms of good or bad.

He showed a troubled expression and said: "Your Majesty, half-performed shares are fine, but if half-performed shares are priced at 50,000 taels, I will suffer a big loss."

Emperor Kaiping laughed and scolded: "Stop pretending to me. You said the price was 250,000 taels, but who dared to catch Chen An to get to the bottom of it? However, I will not take advantage of you for nothing. Don't you want to get some for the state below?"

The same garden? I will ask Luo Jiyu to make it easier for you."

Your abacus is really clever. The more Qinyuan is opened, the more income the palace will make. You must know that it is only half of the shares, and the annual dividends are a large sum of money.

Pei Yue cursed in his heart, but had to say gratefully on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Listening to his sincere gratitude, Emperor Kaiping was not angry and said warmly: "I understand what you mean."

If another person had heard this sentence, he would have shed tears of gratitude and expressed his loyalty at this moment. Pei Yue really couldn't do that and said calmly but sincerely: "Your Majesty, I never thought of asking Chen An for money at first, but he

His attitude was too firm, so I had no choice but to agree."

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said slowly: "Okay, the more you talk, the more philistine you are. I ask you, do you know about the recent major events in the court?"

Pei Yue shook his head and replied: "I have been training in Beiying these days. Your Majesty, what happened in the court?"

Emperor Kaiping sighed softly and frowned: "There is a severe drought in many places in southern Dengzhou, Yuzhou and Qinzhou, and the people have no water for irrigation. Now is the busy farming season. If it does not rain for a long time, it will affect the farming and harvest in these places. This year

There will inevitably be refugees."

Pei Yue did not express his opinions randomly because he knew that no matter how kind Emperor Kaiping was to him, he would never be lenient when it came to the official affairs of the country.

But did the emperor just want someone to talk to?

Emperor Kaiping turned to look at him and said in a deep voice: "I have ordered the Dongfu to organize disaster relief as soon as possible, but water from afar cannot save people who are thirsty nearby, so I plan to offer sacrifices to the sky in seven days to pray for rain."

Pei Yue didn't react at first. He had watched many movies and TV shows in his previous life and was no stranger to praying for rain. Although the emperor's doing so had no effect, there was no need to forcibly dissuade him.

etc……

He asked slightly nervously: "Your Majesty, where are you going to ask for rain?"

Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "Xingliang Mansion."

"Ah?" Pei Yue showed a rare panic look.

Emperor Kaiping asked curiously: "Why do you react like this? The imperial mausoleum is in Xingliang Mansion, and the Circular Mound Altar is also there. Of course I want to go to the north."

Pei Yue's mind suddenly turned. The emperor suddenly wanted to leave the heavily guarded Kyoto and go to Xingliang Mansion to pray for rain. This matter was obviously in line with the procedures, but he felt a faint sense of danger.

He tentatively said: "Your Majesty, is it possible to pray for rain in the Ancestral Temple? There is no need to mobilize people to go to Xingliang Mansion, right?"

Emperor Kaiping frowned slightly and said: "That's nonsense. I am the emperor, and every move must comply with the etiquette. How can I do whatever I want? Pei Yue, this is just an ordinary thing. What are you worried about?"

He looked at Pei Yue steadily, his eyes were quite complicated.
