876 [Monsters and Demons]

"It is probably the best choice for an ordinary minister to lie dormant and wait for the future, but Pei Yue will not do this."

Wang Pingzhang glanced at the Seven Strategies of Cao Dian in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't forget that he would rather bend than bend. If I am not wrong, he will definitely use his relationship with the eldest prince to really intervene in the battle for the crown prince after returning to the capital.

.

It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, there will be no military conflict in the country. If he wants to stabilize his position in the court and change His Majesty's mind, he can only sympathize with the Holy Will and then support the eldest prince as the crown prince.

A dead end."

"I'm afraid he may not be able to walk safely."

Wang Jiu

Hearing that the property under Pei Yue's name has not been very peaceful recently, he witnessed these scenes after returning to Beijing. According to the temper he has shown in the past, he may not be able to suppress his anger and continue to play the role of a loyal minister and filial son."

Wang Pingzhang waved his hands and said: "The way of a merchant is insignificant, it is just a matter of yellow and white things. These small things cannot affect the overall situation. Pei Yue will not be in such a state of desolation, and His Majesty will not use those unworthy methods. If you really want to

The action was also suppressed by Huanghuang's overwhelming force. Those people are just the property of Xiangyun Hao and Qinyuan, they are just a bunch of clowns. Don't get involved."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Wang Jiuxuan agreed and asked again: "If Pei Yue really takes a stand to support the eldest prince, I'm afraid His Majesty will be reluctant to attack him. I just don't know where the first fire started?"

Wang Pingzhang put his hands in his sleeves, with an indifferent smile on his face, and said slowly: "Pei Yue has always valued love and righteousness. This is naturally an advantage, but it also means more flaws."

Wang Jiuxuan fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing this, Wang Pingzhang reminded: "If you want to light the first fire between the monarch and his ministers, you need to start from the overall situation. In fact, it is not complicated."

Time passed quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Jiuxuan slowly raised his head and said uncertainly, "Marriage?"

Wang Pingzhang looked at him quietly. When Wang Jiuxuan showed anxiety, he suddenly laughed, and his laughter became more and more hearty. This was a very rare scene. In front of other children of the Wang family, Wang Pingzhang had always been serious about his words and would not be angry or arrogant.

, it is rare to see him show his emotions so clearly.

"It would be great if your father was still alive..."

After he stopped laughing, Wang Pingzhang sighed in a complicated tone, and then said with certainty: "Concubine Wu is an extremely smart woman. It can be seen from her words and deeds in the past that her scheming skills are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Regardless of whether Pei Yue wants to support the eldest prince or not, Concubine Wu will not mind finding a capable assistant for her son."

Wang Jiuxuan nodded and said: "Princess Pingyang is the sister of the eldest prince. If your majesty proposes her marriage to Pei Yue, the eldest prince will become Pei Yue's uncle. It is natural for Pei Yue to support her in his bid for the throne. From another perspective

Look, once Pei Yue becomes a relative of the emperor, he cannot always hold military power, so your Majesty's suspicions can be dispelled."

Wang Pingzhang was very satisfied with his quick thinking and continued to give guidance: "In fact, Concubine Wu had already made such an attempt before. The Pei family almost lost their last face, but Pei Yue intervened and ruined her plan."

That was when Pei Yue had just returned from the Western Region. Under the plan of Li and Pei Yun, Pei Ning came into the sight of the nobles in the harem. Concubine Wu followed the trend, not only wanting to find an excellent princess for the eldest prince, but also to help

Emperor Kaiping completely eliminated the Pei family's influence in the military.

Wang Jiuxuan thought for a moment and then said: "Pei Yue will definitely not accept it."

Wang Pingzhang smiled and said: "So I say that he is not without flaws. Whether it is the Gu family girl or Ye Qi, it is impossible for Pei Yue to let go. But once the imperial edict of marriage is issued, can he still resist it? This matter is very important to him.

Your Majesty, Concubine Wu, the eldest prince and even the Pei family are all beneficial, and we only need a little connection to achieve the effect we want."

"Pei family?" Wang Jiuxuan was slightly startled.

Wang Pingzhang said: "Although Pei Rong is a dandy, he certainly doesn't mind disgusting Pei Yue. Although Pei Taijun asked Pei Yue to live separately, his surname is still Pei after all, and Pei Yuan's blood flows in his bones. Pei Rong is still

He is his nominal father. His parents’ orders and the words of a matchmaker.

, and based on His Majesty’s imperial edict, how can Pei Yue refuse Princess Pingyang’s marriage? I know that he will never accept it, but this first fire is just right, which can completely worsen the relationship between him and Your Majesty, and can also completely worsen the relationship between him and Your Majesty.

Further observe his bottom line and coping methods."

Wang Jiuxuan said sincerely: "I would like to ask my grandfather to show me how to handle this matter."

Wang Pingzhang said: "You arrange for secret personnel to find Pei Yun. You don't need to make it too clear. He is a smart young man, and he will never forget the shame Pei Yue brought to him. As for Concubine Wu, I will personally

Take action."

Wang Jiuxuan agreed, this kind of thing is obviously not difficult for him.

After agreeing on the details of the first fire, Wang Jiuxuan added: "Grandpa, Xiongwuhou sent someone to send a secret message. His nephew Lan Zhiqiu's whereabouts are still unknown. It is suspected that he fell into the hands of Pei Yue."

Wang Pingzhang muttered: "He didn't handle this matter well. He shouldn't trust his junior so much. But the impact is not big. Pei Yue can only make some articles about Lan Zhiqiu, but he can't get involved with me. Let's do this,

Let me check the chess piece in the pavilion and see if we can eliminate this hidden danger in advance."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Seeing that his face looked slightly tired, Wang Jiuxuan bowed respectfully and left.

…

The winter in Kyoto is cold and chilly, and pedestrians walk in a hurry on the streets.

The Zhongshan Marquis' Mansion is not as crowded as other mansions. Especially after Pei Yue's resignation, this magnificent Marquis' Mansion has become increasingly deserted. If the peach blossoms were still in the mansion, it would create a somewhat cheerful atmosphere.

Now there is only silence.

Although Pei Yue and Ye Qi were not in the capital, the house was still in good order, and Lin Shuyue took care of everything extremely well.

In addition to her patience and caution, the servants in the mansion are also unparalleled. They are all pure and responsible servants selected from Green Willow Manor. The front yard is guarded by soldiers left by Pei Yue, even in recent times.

The atmosphere inside is very strange, and those evil winds and rains still cannot blow into the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion.

In Ruixiang Courtyard, Lin Shuyue couldn't help but frown slightly after reading the accounting statistics of Qinyuan and Xiangyun in the first half of the month.

"Why has the income in the past half month been so short?" Although her tone was gentle, her expression had become serious.

Standing in front of her was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old named Yuan Qing. She was one of the twenty girls that Pei Yue asked Qi Min to find. After a period of study, they now directly obey orders.

Yu Lin Shuyue is responsible for auditing and reviewing the accounts of Xiangyunhao and Qinyuan.

Yuan Qing is smart and responsible, so she gradually becomes the leader of this special group of accountants.

Hearing Lin Shuyue's question, she lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Madam, I don't know. I asked people outside yesterday and they said that business has not been very good recently, and it is understandable that the income has decreased."

Lin Shuyue took another look at the numbers on the account book, shook her head and said: "They are talking nonsense. Winter is when the consumption of briquettes increases, how can the Xiangyun's income not increase but decrease? As for Qinyuan,

The income is gradually increasing every month, and there is no chance of a sudden decline."

"Could it... be related to the recent rumors in the capital?" Yuan Qing said cautiously.

Lin Shuyue was slightly startled, and then said seriously: "Master Hou has made great achievements in the southern border, and the court will reward him soon. What do those people outside know? Go and inform the steward outside, and ask him to prepare the carriages and horses and inform the soldiers.

, I’m going to check out the specific situation.”

Yuan Qing replied: "Yes, madam, I don't know where to go first?"

Lin Shuyue thought for a while and said calmly: "Qinyuan."
