After the discussion outside the door, there was no one in the Sifang Pavilion, so Pei Yue naturally did not worry about being overheard in the conversation in this side hall.

Xian Chunqiu looked at this frail young man and clearly felt the energy and pride in him, just like the rising sun in the morning light. Even if he didn't deliberately show off, he could still make people see the dazzling light at a glance.

.

He worked hard in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for more than thirty years. From being a general to the age of sixty, he was only a first-class prince. And Pei Yue was able to be equal to him at such a young age, which shows that the world is unpredictable and fate has twists and turns.

What if that year...

It's a pity that there is no what if in life.

The autumn wind blew by outside the hall, making the branches and leaves rustle.

Pei Yue's opening remarks were not polite. Whether he was insinuating Xian Chunqiu's defection or mocking him for having evil intentions, he was just like the scorching sun on this early autumn afternoon. Although it was not as blazing as summer, it still contained a bit of impatience.

.

It's just that this kind of difficulty is not an insurmountable problem for Jubeihou, who has experienced many storms. He asked calmly: "Rebellion?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "If it wasn't for rebellion, why would the Marquis appoint Xian Xiaoshi to help me secretly, and even let him kill Fang Yunhu himself as a pledge of surrender."

"A certificate of submission..."

Xian Chunqiu muttered these words, a look of sadness appeared on his face, and he said leisurely: "If Fang Yunhu doesn't want to kill you, the dog will naturally not kill him. This marriage is something I asked His Majesty for permission. If you, the bride-to-be, would like to

If something unexpected happens to your Majesty, how should I explain it to Your Majesty and all the colleagues in the court?"

This reason sounded very reasonable, but Pei Yue just smiled faintly.

He thought of what Fang Yunhu said before his death last night at the Danxia Lake and Xian Xiaoshi's response, and said with deep meaning: "Old Marquis, you have even plotted against Fang Xiexiao. I'm really not afraid of him taking it with you."

Two hundred thousand Pingjiang descendants are causing trouble for you?"

Xian Chunqiu didn't even blink his eyelids and asked calmly: "Why do I want to plot against the Duke of Zhen?"

Pei Yue refilled the tea cup in front of him and said calmly: "Because the Fang family's position in the army is too stable, Emperor Qingyuan relies on Xie Xiao far more than you. As long as the four Fang families in Pingjiang

If the word is still there, you will never have the chance to get involved in the supreme authority. If you kill Fang Yunhu with my hands, you will definitely force Fang Xiexiao into a dilemma."

He turned to look at the autumn scenery outside the window and said slowly: "It is one of the great tragedies in life for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to someone else. If Fang Xiexiao does not avenge Fang Yunhu, how will he restrain his generals?"

?But the old Marquis must have already strengthened the confidence of Emperor Qingyuan, and must exchange for several years of peace through marriage and marriage. Under this premise, Fang Xiexiao can do nothing, because he is a truly loyal minister."

When Pei Yue said this, he smiled meaningfully and said calmly: "I don't know the full picture of what the old Marquis has planned, but Fang Yunhu's death must be just an introduction, right?"

Xian Chunqiu raised his head slightly, pondered for a moment and then nodded and said: "If I follow your conclusion, I do need to plan in advance. But there is still something unclear, why do I do this? As a traitor general, I spent thirty

It took me more than a year to establish a firm foothold in the south, but now I don’t know the heights of the world and intend to spy on the great treasure, which is a bit ridiculous."

Pei Yue did not smile at this time. He looked solemnly at the old man opposite who had never shown any flaws, and said with a bit of fierceness: "Thirty-six years ago, didn't you think the same way?

?”

Xian Chunqiu was leaning on the back of the chair. After hearing these words, he slowly sat up straight. His previously stern but calm face became more murderous, and his old eyes gradually became sharper.

Before Pei Yue said these words, the two of them had been testing each other, hiding their true intentions deeply. Xian Chunqiu was still lamenting that Pei Yue had such a wealthy man at such a young age, but he did not expect that the other party suddenly wanted to be so rich.

Seeing the dagger, he unexpectedly slashed at the curtain buried in history.

The atmosphere was slightly depressed, and Xian Chunqiu said in a deep voice: "Thirty-six years ago, Liu Rui framed me and the Chu government on trumped-up charges. Don't you know about this?"

Liu Rui was Emperor Zhongzong of Daliang, the father of the late Emperor and the current Emperor Kaiping.

Pei Yue looked at him deeply and said slowly: "A few years ago, you and Fang Xiexiao sent eight hundred disciples to sneak into Hengduan Mountain, and then I killed Fang Rui with my own hands. He told me before he died, if it weren't for you

Defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, perhaps the Daliang cavalry had already crossed the Tiancang River. At that time, I was thinking, why did Emperor Zhongzong want to destroy the good situation? If he didn't attack the Chu government, wouldn't he be able to bring peace to the world? "

Xian Chunqiu said coldly: "How can it be so easy to pacify the world? I didn't expect you to think so highly of me."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with it, I just can't understand it. Even at that time, the Pei family covered the sky with only one hand in the army, such as Xiangguo Mansion, Qi Guo Mansion, Shanguo Mansion, Chu State Mansion and even the Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Pei Yuan followed suit, and Emperor Zhongzong also had many means to gradually reduce Pei Yuan's authority. After all, Duke Dingguo was already over 70 years old at the time, and he still had the foundation laid by Emperor Taizong."

He looked at Xian Chunqiu and said in a deep tone: "But he chose the most drastic and also the most damaging method. He directly attacked the Chu government and forced you to defect to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. I checked the relevant files and found out about the incident that year.

There is a doubt that cannot be solved. Since Emperor Zhongzong is determined to kill you, how can he let you escape in advance? Doesn’t the king understand the principle of catching the thief first? "

Xian Chunqiu was slightly shocked. He never expected that this young man could actually see through the joints that he took a long time to figure out.

The old man tried his best to remain calm and said vaguely: "Because he can't guarantee whether the news will be leaked."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "No, Emperor Zhongzong confiscated the Chu State's house and exterminated the clan, and at the same time deliberately let people leak the news to you. Only in this way can you be forced to defect to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so that you can be convicted of treason and treason, and then you can be dealt with in a logical manner.

Let’s carry out drastic reforms in the military!”

He put his hands on the edge of the table and said firmly: "He is the emperor and the supreme, and he has a great right. When the news of your defection reaches Kyoto, even Pei Yuan will not be able to stop him from launching a purge in the army, because

That is the will of the people and the general trend! That is, from that time on

, the military power of the Shanguo Mansion was deprived, the Xiangguo Mansion was driven to the west to guard the border, and Gu Hao ended up with his head missing. The strength of the Pei family could never return to its heyday. New martial artists like Wang Pingzhang

It began to rise, and this is the origin of the current power structure in the Daliang Army."

After listening to his long speech, Xian Chunqiu was silent for a long time. Finally, he just sighed and said slowly: "But why is he so radical?"

Pei Yue said word for word: "Because if he doesn't do this, you will rebel, so he can only strike first."

Xian Chunqiu suddenly laughed softly. This was the first time he smiled since the two had been talking for a long time.

The old man looked out the window, his eyes passed through the big trees and fell on the wall of the south house. There were patches of moss growing in the corners of the wall that no one cared about, like stains in this world.

Just like his life.
