Chapter 967 966 [Changing rain and clouds]

There are only two things Liu Xian has really done wrong in these years, and both of them were related to Pei Yue.

At first, he wanted to take possession of the newly revealed Xiangyun, but at the instigation of Xu Song of Qibao Pavilion, he took action boldly, and finally lost his wife and troops.

At that time, Pei Yue was not the dignitary in the military that he is now, and he was not considered a very important figure in Liu Xian's eyes, so he lost his temper in his anger and sent the royal palace's masters to follow Pei Yue who had left the capital to prepare for the construction of mines in various places, intending to kill him.

People then blamed the gangsters in the state capital below.

In addition, during the assassinations of Pei Yue and Pei Ning planned by Ning Fengzhi, the rebellion of the fourth prince Liu Zan, etc., he was always able to stick to his original intention and did not leave any grounds for impeachment for the other party.

The first thing has been settled. Xu Song was executed, Qibao Pavilion was divided, the Xu family was ransacked, Princess Xu committed suicide, and the second prince couldn't find a reason even if he wanted to settle old scores.

The second thing was a secret. The killers he sent out were all dead. Pei Yue did not announce it to the outside world. Apart from Emperor Kaiping, the only people who knew about it were Empress Chen, Concubine Wu, the Second Prince and Liu Xian himself.

Under the premise that Emperor Kaiping had already expressed his attitude at the beginning, the second prince did not dare to make a fuss about this matter, because it was not an attack on Liu Xian, but a slap in the face of his father.

But Liu Xian never expected that it would be Silent Cloud who took action!

He bit his lip hard and forced himself to stay awake, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain. Now that the fight for the throne has reached a critical moment, once Silent Cloud lifts the original cover, not to mention those who support the second prince

His courtiers, even those on his own side, may turn against him.

Xue Ji only took the lead, and the impeachment of Ning Huai'an, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was the highlight.

Silent Cloud is speaking for Pei Yue on the surface, but as long as the identity of the killers is confirmed, the eldest prince will inevitably withdraw from the competition for the crown prince. The close relationship between Pei Yue and him during this period will be reduced to nothing, and Kai Ping will be on the dragon throne.

It is difficult to predict how the Emperor will view the Marquis of Zhongshan.

After all... this is the scandal of a prince assassinating a court official.

If we push forward more than ten years, there was once Lin Donghai, a left-handed swordsman with excellent martial arts, who was a close friend of Silent Cloud. His only son was Lin He.

A trace of apology appeared on Pei Yue's face, and he said to the other important ministers who were watching him closely: "I'm sorry, my memory is indeed not very good, and I can't repeat what I said at that time exactly like Master Shen, but the general meaning should be the same."

Pei Yue glanced at the man indifferently, then looked at Silent Cloud and said: "Master Shen, I don't care about the identity of those killers at all. I think they should be the remnants of the bandits or the Xiwu agents to create suspicion, or they want to provoke

It arouses my resentment towards the eldest prince and even His Majesty. Such devious tricks are not worth mentioning at all, but I didn’t expect Lord Shen to get into a dead end."

Pushing the time forward a few years, many people in the city knew that there was a loyal young man beside Silent Cloud. He held a sword in his left hand and never left his side, protecting the head of Taishitai Pavilion extremely well.

When Liu Xian's expression became more and more serious, a gentle voice like a spring breeze relieved the panic in his heart.

Silent Cloud said calmly: "Pei Yue, you are an eyewitness to this matter. Can you tell me where those killers came from?"

He paused slightly and said calmly and calmly: "The man replied: It's ridiculous. How could the prince give such an order? You are plotting against the Xu family and making the princess angry. I have received so much kindness from the prince, so of course I will come and kill you."

Ten days ago, the young man with a broken arm named Lin He was hanged, and it was Silent Cloud who collected and buried his body.

It's definitely not possible to deny it directly. The princes in the court are not fools.

Without waiting for Silent Cloud's answer, he took the initiative and said loudly: "After the killer revealed his identity in a way that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, I asked him again if King Lu had ordered him to come and assassinate me."

Pei Yue was still very calm. He stared at the silent cloud with eyes that could not see the bottom like an abyss. He smiled and said: "Master Shen, there are two more sentences behind, why don't you want to say them?"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Kaiping raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, as if he was very satisfied with the confrontation between the two.

"Slightly ridiculous."

King Lu is the eldest prince Liu Xian.

He smiled and said calmly: "Master Shen, if you want to believe the killer's nonsense, then should you also believe the following conversation? It cannot be said by the same person. You only believe in yourself. The part you want, this..."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your kindness."

The palace suddenly became quiet.

At this point in the court meeting, Pei Yue finally stepped forward, came to Silent Cloud, turned around and smiled at the middle-aged man.

This is a very strange scene.

There is a dull atmosphere in Chengtian Hall that is hard to breathe.

Someone frowned and said, "This does not mean that what Mr. Shen said is false."

As for why Silent Cloud did this, not only Emperor Kaiping knew it, but most of the important officials in front of the palace also knew the reason.

The eyes of the second prince Liu Yun were full of joy. He was originally a little unhappy with the troubles caused by Silent Cloud. After all, according to the previous discussion with Wang Pingzhang, after the trouble in Zhulou was solved, waves of offensives would be launched. From then on, The secret collusion between Pei Yue and Ouyang Jing began, and the grievances during this period were settled one by one.

He raised his tone slightly and said in a cold voice: "You asked the other party's identity, and he replied, 'I am from Prince Lu's Mansion, do you dare to kill me?', and you confirmed it again."

It was difficult for Liu Xian to control his expression. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel endless regret. He only regretted that he was as stupid as a pig. Fortunately, he didn't take this resentment to Pei Yue. He didn't know how to solve this problem. After all, those killers were indeed sent by him. Silent Cloud even knew the conversation between Pei Yue and Nian Xu clearly at that time.

However, the Silent Cloud suddenly appeared, causing the rhythm of the court battle to change, which might very well have caused Yi Zi to make a mistake and lose everything. However, after his words came out, not only the second prince felt relieved, but also the other important ministers were filled with joy. happiness.

As soon as he said this, Pei Yue turned around and walked back to his seat, without looking at the solemn expression of Silent Cloud.

Pei Yue said calmly: "I think they must be the remnants of the Hengduan Bandits."

But they couldn't help but secretly lament that after all these years they still hadn't seen through the true nature of Silent Cloud. This person was not like a poisonous snake in the darkness. He was determined to avenge his enemies and had a decisive character.

Before he could finish his words, there was a commotion all around.

Silent Cloud turned around and looked at him, and said indifferently: "It seems that the Marquis of Zhongshan is a little forgetful, so I will help you recall it. It is night, you are in the study room in the backyard of the imperial envoy's residence, and more than ten killers bribed the Carboniferous Temple The subordinates prepared their weapons and sneaked into the palace. However, under the heavy ambush arranged by you, these killers were killed one after another. Only the leader rushed to the door of the study, and you had a conversation at that time. "

No one dared to see Emperor Kaiping at this moment. They thought that His Majesty the Emperor must be very angry, because his most trusted minister would actually take action against the eldest prince, even though the matter would ultimately be aimed at Pei Yue, to avenge the young man who lost his arm.

But he obviously couldn't embarrass Silence Yun too much. Although today's judgment almost ruined Liu Xian's future, he could understand Silence Yun's mood. After all, after the unexpected death of the smart and astute Shen Wende, Lin Heji and Silence Yun's nephew is no different.

The most important thing is that Silent Cloud must still sit in Zuo Lingchen's position in Taishitai Pavilion.

So Emperor Kaiping said warmly: "Shen Qing's family, you have always been loyal to the country. Don't be like that lazy guy Pei Yue who kindly treats you as a donkey's liver and lungs. You can continue to investigate this matter to find out the identities of those killers and avoid anyone taking advantage of it." Construct the prince."

Silent Cloud sighed helplessly, bowed and bowed before retreating, but his figure gradually became older.
