The Southern Zhou Dynasty was inferior to Daliang in terms of territory and national power, but this meant that it was a small country.

Xu Huiyan's official career was not smooth, and he struggled to deal with extremely complex forces. However, he had been the chief minister for seven years, and the momentum he suddenly burst out at this moment was enough to make ordinary people feel scared and weak in the legs.

Facing his loud questioning, Pei Yue calmly asked: "May I ask, sir, what should I do?"

Xu Huiyan said with emotion: "You are now one of the most respected people around His Majesty, and you should advise him to give up this idea."

Pei Yue's mouth twitched, and it took him a long time to say: "Sir, don't you think your words are childish?"

"Childish?" Xu Huiyan uttered two words coldly, and then frowned deeply: "Is the war to destroy the country a child's play? I agree with your previous statement. Liang's military equipment is indeed better than that of our country, but the gap has not reached Yunni.

After the national war breaks out, countless people in our country may die in the war, but will the soldiers and people of Liang be spared?"

He sat up straight, stared into Pei Yue's eyes, and said firmly: "Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is killed by Liang Guo, countless of your close friends in the army and even yourself will die in this national war. Pei Yue

, I look at the things you planned in the past, even if you don’t have the common people in mind, you at least have some kind thoughts. If you are trying to save the lives of the common people, do you still think it is childish to say something outright?"

At this point in this long conversation, it has actually entered a very delicate stage.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Huiyan showed no interest in going north, but he also did not yell at Pei Yue.

Pei Yue took a breath and said slowly: "Sir, I once saw a sentence in an unknown ancient book. When I was ignorant, I showed it to Your Majesty. As time passed, I gradually understood the meaning of that sentence.

Meaning, I think it’s appropriate to answer your question at this moment.”

"What?"

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and regard all things as stupid dogs."

Xu Huiyan leaned back on his chair, and the expression on his face became very complicated. A descendant of the Xu family in Qinghe has been reading scriptures since he was a child. Even if he has not read this sentence, he can understand it in a very short time.

The true meaning of the words.

Seeing that he was silent, Pei Yue said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you think highly of me. Some of what you said is right. Your Majesty, your Majesty, you think highly of me now, but if I dare to talk nonsense on this matter, he may not

They will execute me, but they will definitely send me to a Qingshui Yamen for retirement. Even without me, Daliang still has thousands of generals and millions of soldiers, and the trend of going south is still unstoppable."

He paused and said seriously: "If I were leading the troops, at least I would try my best to restrain my soldiers and limit death and killing to the battlefield."

Xu Huiyan wondered: "Can't other generals restrain their soldiers from burning, killing, and looting?"

Pei Yue smiled and said with great confidence: "Your Excellency must be well versed in military matters. You should understand that if the soldiers cannot have a channel to vent their selfish desires, sooner or later there will be problems with morale. But I am different from others. I have another advantage.

He is very good at making money. As long as the silver reward is paid in time and strict military discipline is enforced, my soldiers will not act randomly."

Xu Huiyan asked in disbelief: "You use your own money to pay for the court's expenses?"

Pei Yue rolled his eyes and said: "Since you know everything about me, don't you know that I am now as rich as the country?"

Xu Huiyan naturally didn't believe this. This was not only a matter of generosity and squandering. The key point was which emperor could sit back and watch Wu Xun spend his own money to reward the soldiers?

Pei Yue had guessed what he was thinking and smiled: "I know this is a somewhat ridiculous and idealistic idea, but after all I can do better than others, even if it's just a little, maybe I can let many people survive.

.”

Xu Huiyan was silent.

He found that there was a sense of fear in his heart.

Facing a young and weak junior, he thought that he shouldn't have such emotions.

Xu Huiyan quickly calmed down, shook his head and sighed: "I suddenly understand why your Majesty values ​​you so much."

Pei Yue blinked at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any intention?"

Xu Huiyan didn't think for too long. He shook his head slightly, although the movement was small but firm.

Pei Yue thought for a while and said with a hint of regret: "As a junior, I cannot stalk you, so I must respect your thoughts. Please rest assured, I will build a building for you at the highest place in Yaoguang Town in a few years."

A cenotaph."

Xu Huiyan smiled and said: "Thank you very much."

The matter has come to this, and there is no need to continue talking. Xu Huiyan once again confirmed with Pei Yue about the assassin, and then stood up and left.

Pei Yue walked all the way to the corridor. Looking at the man's thin back and steady steps, he couldn't help but have a smile on his lips.

…

Daliang Kyoto, Yongrenfang Shen Mansion.

Shen Danmo held a dossier in her hand and came to Silent Cloud's study with a happy and a bit tired look on her face. However, when she came in, she found that her father's expression was particularly solemn, and his eyes were staring at a secret letter on the table.

"Daddy?" Shen Danmo called softly.

Silent Cloud did not look up and put the secret letter back into the envelope.

Shen Danmo couldn't help but feel a little strange. During this period of time, her father had no restrictions on her. All the intelligence files in the Taiwan Pavilion could be viewed. She was not guarded against even the extremely important deployment of the Southern Army. Fortunately, she was no longer that unruly.

The willful Miss Jiao just stood aside quietly when she saw this.

Silent Cloud breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "

Mo'er, please remember a few things."

Shen Danmo responded calmly: "Dad, please give me instructions."

Silent Cloud said: "First, continue doing that thing, but be careful to keep it secret. Second, there is a secret guard over there in Qinyuan. My father will ask the commander to come to you directly. You will control them during this period. Third,

The Taige side will be left to Jing Chu and Lin Jia for the time being, so you don’t need to interfere."

"Yes." Shen Danmo responded, her heart filled with doubts and excitement, and she asked softly: "Daddy is leaving Beijing?"

Silent Cloud nodded slightly, and then told him: "My father promised Lin He to let him go to Tai Pavilion to work. Please let him go in advance. Your people will occasionally pay attention to his whereabouts."

Shen Danmo said: "My daughter understands. Dad, is it Pei Yue's side——"

Silent Cloud said in a deep voice: "Yes and no. That's all. If I don't let you know, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for a long time. The son of Taige sent back an urgent report through the first-class post, saying that something has changed in the southern border."

He stood up and looked at his shocked daughter, and said in a slow tone: "It has nothing to do with Pei Yue for the time being. It is still a matter within Daliang. My father needs to enter the palace immediately and then go south. "

Shen Danmo asked worriedly: "Does dad have to go south in person?"

Silent Cloud showed a gratified smile, walked over and patted her shoulder and said: "Actually, it is more appropriate to go to Guliang, but now that Pei Yue is not in the capital, His Majesty will definitely not let him leave the capital again, so your father can only go there." .”

Shen Danmo was so alert. When he heard the deep meaning of his father's words, he frowned and said, "Dad, if there is a rebellion in the army, Taige's sons may not be able to handle it."

Silent Cloud said calmly: "It's not that serious, it's just that it involves a few big shots, and Jing Chu and the others can't control it."

Shen Danmo no longer hesitated and Fu Li said, "Daddy will return safely."

Silent Cloud nodded and then strode away.

In the sixth year of Kaiping, on August 27th, it was night and there was a steady autumn rain.

The south gate of Kyoto suddenly opened, and more than two hundred riders rode southward at night.
