The second prince, King Liu Yun of Qi.

After Xu Huiyan said this name, Sheng Duanming's face became very ugly.

It is true that he is obsessed with the classics, but this does not mean that he is ignorant of the situation in the court. After the failure of the fourth prince's rebellion, His Majesty has gradually expressed his attitude towards the matter of establishing a crown prince. The eldest prince firmly stood by Pei Yue in the rebellion case.

There, he not only received the approval of Emperor Kaiping and was re-titled King of Lu, but also established a close relationship with Pei Yue.

As long as the eldest prince can get the support of Pei Yue, it will definitely affect the attitude of Gu Liang, the right army officer. This means that the eldest prince will be supported by a large number of powerful military officers in the army, and the fight for the crown prince will become more certain.

big.

Throughout the dynasties, the struggle for imperial power was soaked in the blood of countless people. The second prince chose to take action at this time, and then blamed the Zhou people for killing Pei Yue. It was actually a very reasonable and correct choice. As long as he could be eliminated

Without Pei Yue, those in the army would not directly fall to Liu Xian, King of Lu.

As long as the military is not biased, Liu Yun will be able to take advantage of his status as the eldest son.

So after Xu Huiyan suddenly broke the shocking news, Sheng Duanming actually believed it in his heart, but he only became more and more angry.

The majestic prince actually sent people to a foreign country to assassinate the outstanding ministers of this dynasty. It is really a shame for Daliang!

Xu Huiyan sighed softly: "This matter is serious, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. I do not want to make any announcement to Your Majesty. I hope the two envoys will not worry about it."

These words made Sheng Duanming's face turn red, but Pei Yue said calmly: "Master Sheng is a true gentleman, why should I bully him?"

Xu Huiyan asked in confusion: "Why did the Marquis of Zhongshan say this?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "It's not like the second prince has never seen my skills. How could he send a mediocre person like Xin Kuang if he really wants to kill me? That day outside the Sifang Pavilion, even though the chief minister was on a high building, he should have seen it.

The situation of the game. Not to mention killing me, Xin Kuang can't even block my ten moves. He is at best an ordinary warrior. Furthermore, if the second prince really sends an assassin, he must be a perseverant person. This Xin Kuang

You didn't even endure severe torture, so you just told the whole story and purpose?"

He chuckled and shook his head, and said slowly: "Does the chief minister think that I can't even find a loyal soldier for a prince, so he actually sent this kind of waste to travel across mountains and rivers to Jian'an City to kill me? Such an assertion is too much.

Ridiculous."

Sheng Duanming came back to his senses and looked at the chief minister of the Southern Zhou Cabinet with an unkind expression.

Xu Huiyan said "Oh" and said calmly: "I also felt that the matter was quite strange, so I chose to suppress it. In any case, this Xin Kuang is not from Zhou after all, and Shanda people can't blame me.

towards."

Without waiting for Sheng Duanming's counterattack, he continued: "As for the chaos in Donglin last night, Fang Yunhu had some grievances with the Marquis of Zhongshan. This move was his own doing and had nothing to do with the Duke of Zhenguo."

Sheng Duanming turned to look at Pei Yue. He had already stated his attitude before, and the final choice must be made by the first-class prince himself.

Pei Yue frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "According to the wishes of the Chief Assistant, both parties will stop here?"

Xu Huiyan thought of the detailed report from Shangguan Ding and felt a headache. He thought about it and said: "It is natural to deceive yourself and others if you want to cover up others' eyes. It's just that the marriage is about to take place, so we can't ruin the overall situation because of this matter."

Pei Yue chuckled and said: "It seems that the chief assistant also finds it difficult."

Xu Huiyan thought to himself, if you hadn't saved that girl Chu Rong before, how could I have made such a choice?

In order to persuade the ministers in the DPRK to calm public opinion, he must do his best this time, otherwise the warring factions will inevitably use the topic to take advantage of the situation and force His Majesty to change his mind in the name of revenge for the Fang family. Not to mention the marriage, will Pei Yue be able to

Leaving the Zhou Dynasty alive is a problem. The key to this matter lies in Fang Xiexiao's attitude. If Pei Yue did not kill Fang Yunhu, with the suppression of Fang Xiexiao and Xian Chunqiu, no one in the army would make trouble, and some civil servants in the DPRK would expose it.

Can't afford the storm.

However, Pei Yue did not leave any leeway. Even if Fang Xie Xiao puts the overall situation first this time, there will still be people who are not willing to be lonely.

Things in the world have always been like this, especially major events like this involving all parties. The complexity is difficult to describe.

Thinking of this, Xu Huiyan said in a deep voice: "In the next period of time, I hope that the Marquis of Zhongshan can keep a low profile. I will urge the Ministry of Rites to complete the ceremony as soon as possible. At that time, the Marquis of Jubei will lead the troops to escort your delegation northward."

Naturally, Pei Yue would not object. At this time, he finally turned to look at the majestic old man.

Rejecting the Northern Marquis Xian Chunqiu.

This is a name that is closely guarded in Daliang Chaotang.

Although the people were full of resentment against him, those who really held high positions knew that the matter was not simple. The Chu State's rebellion case itself was full of doubts, and Emperor Zhongzong's methods were too cruel and strange. In the Spring and Autumn Period of Xian,

Before he was arrested and sent to the capital, he ordered the imperial army to massacre the Chu government, without even investigating and publishing the evidence.

More importantly, Emperor Zhongzong used this excuse to purge the military honors in the army, and Gu Liang's father Gu Hao died because of this. If Pei Yuan, the first generation Dingguo Gong, had not dragged his old body into the palace several times, I am afraid that the entire army would have been destroyed.

The Guangping Marquis Mansion will completely disappear.

There is another doubtful point in this, that is, Xian Chunqiu was able to predict the danger in advance and led his personal entourage to cross the Yangtze River to Nantou before the crows from Taishitai Pavilion arrived.

Too much time has passed, and many details have been lost in the pile of old papers. However, before Pei Yue went south this time, he had used Shen Danmo's relationship to consult many files from that year.

At this time, he looked at the unsmiling Xian Chunqiu and nodded gently in greeting.

Xian Chunqiu slowly opened his mouth and said: "Zhongshan Hou, I have heard about the famous name for a long time, and my ears are like thunder."

Pei Yue responded calmly: "Each other, each other."

Xian Chunqiu said calmly: "As for the specific arrangements for the return of your mission, I hope to discuss it with the Marquis of Zhongshan alone. I wonder if the Chief Assistant and Mr. Shanda can facilitate it?"

Xu Huiyan had received instructions from Emperor Qingyuan before. Knowing that the powerful and powerful Marquis of Jubei was shouldering extremely important responsibilities, he stood up and said calmly: "It should be so."

Sheng Duanming snorted lightly, but did not object. It was not that he was afraid of Xian Chunqiu, but that he had absolute trust in Pei Yue's position.

Just like Qian Bing's attitude towards Pei Yue now, what he saw and heard on the way south has made the old scholar completely put aside his prejudices and regard Pei Yue as a subordinate of the great leader.

After a while, Pei Yue and Xian Chunqiu sat across from each other in the southeast side hall of the Sifang Pavilion.

Pei Yue fiddled with the tea set and said slowly: "Master Xian, are you still used to living in the south?"

This opening statement made Xian Chunqiu frown slightly.

But for such an old man with extremely rich experiences and a bumpy destiny, the sharp thorns in Pei Yue's words only caused his mood to rise and fall briefly, and soon it became as calm as a deep pool.

He looked at the slightly pale complexion on Pei Yue Junyi's face and asked meaningfully: "Do you know who I am?"

Pei Yue poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xian Chunqiu, and said with a smile: "Master Xian has a far-reaching plan, why do you need to be mysterious at this moment?"

He took the initiative to hold up the tea cup as a gesture, and then said calmly: "It doesn't matter who you are, I only know that you want to rebel."
