Hearing this, Li Ming didn't change his expression. He looked at Pei Wenxuan who was kneeling on the ground, and he seemed to know it for a long time, but he still said, "What is the meaning of Pei Aiqing? You are the court commander, and there are still people who can kill you. ?"

"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan knelt on the ground, seemingly in grief, "Since your Majesty knows that the ministers rescued Princess Pingle yesterday, your majesty may know about the plight of the ministers."

"Predicament?" Li Ming looked for a stone next to him, dusted himself, and sat down slowly, "You don't have to be afraid, you might as well say it straight."

"Yesterday, the Weichen returned to the city road and saw a horse galloping by in the army. Some people said vaguely, hijacking words like princess. The Weichen felt uneasy, so he asked the servant to return to the city to ask for help from the Prince's Mansion, and drove it by himself. Go and see what this group of people are doing, just in case any accidents happen."

"Yeah." Li Ming replied. These things are true. He had been checked by people last night, and he said indifferently, "What then?"

"Weichen followed them. Seeing these people, they were obviously servants of some people, but they changed into bandit clothes and pretended to be bandits. Weichen knew it was not good, so he set up roadblocks on the road for a critical moment. , Share the worries for the princess."

"You are very clever." Li Ming laughed, "Those stone tablets are your handwriting?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan knew that Li Ming had asked him to check the affairs of that night carefully, and he had already checked the things that left clues.

Pei Wenxuan worked alongside Li Ming for a year, and he was very familiar with Li Ming's character. He was suspicious and sensitive and had to verify everything. So Pei Wenxuan thought about what he said, and continued: "Exactly. At that time, the minister was waiting on the road, and it didn’t take long to see the bandit chasing the princess, and the princess’s guard was escorted by the princess. When in crisis, I rescued the princess with roadblocks. I didn’t want the princess to be injured and unconscious in the chaos, so I had to take the princess and flee in a hurry. I used a horse to lure those people away and lie in ambush among the reeds. Then I heard a man chasing him and it was useless to scold the people under him. The princess couldn't stop it, and the princess didn't see him this time. How to win the princess's heart."

Listening to Pei Wenxuan's words, Li Ming chuckled, "These young people are very active." After that, Li Ming looked up at Pei Wenxuan and said, "Is it Yang Quan?"

Pei Wenxuan tightened his lips and whispered: "Yes."

"Weichen was in a panic, carrying the princess on his back and he couldn't choose the way. When I woke up, I discussed with the princess and learned that the princess did not know about it, so I didn't say much. Early this morning, the princess and I were rescued together, and the queen called the Weichen to enter. Gong, and the queen told Weichen..."

"Say what?" Li Ming asked quietly, Pei Wenxuan paused, seeming to hesitate, after a long time, he said, "The queen asked the minister to conceal the matter of getting along with the princess! Even if your majesty asks, you can't tell the truth. Well, just say that I met Young Master Yang last night, and Young Master Yang rescued the princess together, was chased and killed, and then I lost halfway, the princess Yang Young saved."

Li Ming listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and couldn't help but laughed: "This is the reason you ask me for help?"

"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath, straightened up, and seemed to have made a life-and-death decision. He looked at Li Ming, abandoning life and death, and said directly, "Since the words have reached this level, The Weichen also spoke bluntly. What the Weichen saw last night and what the Queen said today is very clear. The Queen has already decided to marry the Yang family. What happened yesterday is just for the princess to see, and want the princess to be saved by a hero. Mei looked at Yang Quan with admiration. But such a thing was broken by the minister. With Yang Quan's narrow mind and bold style of Yang Family, now he is out of Miyagi, how can the minister live?"

Li Ming remained silent. After a long time, he said slowly: "Don't worry, the queen will not murder you for such trivial matters."

"Your Majesty really thinks," Pei Wenxuan stared at Li Ming, deliberately slowing down his voice, "Is it a trivial matter for the Yang family to get married with the prince?"

When Pei Wenxuan asked, Li Ming finally got a straight look. He raised his eyes to stare at Pei Wenxuan. After a long time, he said slowly: "You know, it seems a lot?"

"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan reminded him calmly, "Three years ago, when the Weichen father was still alive, the Weichen was the eldest son of Pei's son. At that time, he was the champion of the new division and was born in the emperor. The centipede is dead but not stiff, although my father is already. Death, but something," Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at Li Ming, implying, "but it's always there."

Li Ming showed a somewhat playful look upon hearing Pei Wenxuan's words: "Then tell me, why is it not a trivial matter for the Yang family to get married with the prince?"

"The Yang family has been a domineering blessing in the frontier gates for many years, supporting the soldiers and self-respect, and the frontiers are full of wars. Every time a war starts, the Yang family asks for money, food and men, and then resists the military. Every battle is beautiful, but he never sends troops to eradicate. Rong State. Your Majesty has repeatedly asked to send troops to destroy the Rong, but the Yang family has no reason to dismiss it. There are folk songs in the northwest, "There are two emperors in the summer, and Yang and Li in the north." This shows the power of the Yang family in the northwest."

"Say." Li Ming looked flat, "Go on."

"The central government is both fearful and respectful to the Yang family. The fear lies in the power of the Yang family. The respect lies in the frontier for many years. It depends on the Yang family to stick to it. Therefore, His Majesty was angry with the Yang family, but he has never done anything radical. However, at the end of this winter, The new emperor of the Rong country succeeded to the throne, and the country of Rong committed another crime. The Yang family surrendered without a fight and lost two consecutive cities. Then the third city was defended by his majesty's order. With 50,000 soldiers and horses defending 20,000 enemy troops, he was defeated. Now he has retreated to Changping Pass. After the temporary reinforcements, he confronted the Rong State. Why did the Yang family, who had guarded the frontier for many years, suddenly collapsed to this point? Has your Majesty ever thought about it?"

"you know?"

"Weichen thought, your majesty also knows," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "Yang has been bribing the Rong country with military salaries for many years. The so-called war each year is nothing but collusion with the Rong country. The strength is fundamentally vulnerable, but the Yang family has been nurtured for many years, giving the Rong country a chance to breathe and prosper. Now the new emperor succeeds to the throne, his heart is in the summer, and he refuses to accept money. Therefore, he was defeated in the first battle."

"You dare to speak very much." Li Ming yelled, Pei Wenxuan immediately kowtowed, and whispered: "This news has long been known at the border, and your Majesty should have known it already. Otherwise, with the heart of your Majesty, how can you treat the country? Does the pillar have the intention of doing it?"

Li Ming felt relieved when he heard Pei Wenxuan's flattery. He straightened up and said coldly: "Go on, what does this have to do with the princess' marriage?"

"His Majesty knew that Yang was defeated, but he suppressed the news and contacted the princess Yang Quan. His Majesty's intention, Weichen guessed, was that his Majesty hoped that the princess' marriage would not become a bargaining chip for the Prince."

"In recent years, as the prince gets older, the power of the Queen’s mother family, Shangguan clan has expanded extremely rapidly in the court. The prince does not respect his majesty and has repeatedly disobeyed. It is nothing but the Shangguan clan’s frustration. Your majesty is worried about Shangguan clan's use of the princess’ marriage, so The objects selected for the princess are all people with suitable identities who are not involved in politics. Although Yang Quan has the military power, he will face the disaster of destruction. Your Majesty should be collecting evidence now and wait for the Yang family to be wiped out. But?"

Li Ming didn't say anything, and the right was the default. Pei Wenxuan said earnestly: "But if your Majesty has such a plan, he would be very wrong."

"Oh?"

Li Ming didn't care a bit: "What's the point of Pei Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty knows the strength of the Rong country?"

"Extremely strong."

"That is your Majesty's misunderstanding," Pei Wenxuan explained, "Rong is a land of barbarians. The blade of my court can easily pierce their armor. As long as my soldiers are fully equipped, one enemy ten is not a problem. The reason for the big defeat of the Yang family is that the Yang family has supplied ordnance for many years. In this offensive, the Rong country used me to counterattack with the weapon, but it is not the armor that I made. It will always be exhausted, right?

In the last life, the Yang family organized a counterattack after half a month, and then won a big victory for this reason.

Pei Wenxuan thought about it, slowly sorting out what he had known in his previous life.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Li Ming immediately reacted: "You mean, when the army is exhausted, I can attack again, and I can easily defeat it?"

"Yes." Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "Although the Yang family has lost 50,000, but it has deep roots in the northwest, no one knows how many soldiers and horses they have privately. Now your majesty is cooperating with the Yang family to grow. Pingguan to fight, Yang Quan returns to Beijing to marry the princess. If Yang succeeds in marrying the princess, what will your majesty think?"

"how is it?"

"Next, the prince and the Yang family joined forces. The Shangguan family used the princess’s marriage as a reason to send a large amount of money to the Yang family. After your majesty’s cronies welcomed the enemy’s strongest wave of troops, the Yang family recruited the Shangguan family’s money. Counterattack again, and you can win immediately. At that time, the Yang family will take the princess as the guide, and stand firm in Huajing. When everyone sees Yang Quan marrying the princess, they misunderstand the holy intentions of your majesty, and dare not do more to the Yang family. Reversing defeat is a victory, and I am afraid that Yang's reputation will rise again, and it will not be easy for your Majesty to investigate the past."

"In addition, the Yang family has soldiers, and the prince is in the hands of the prince, for fear of adding another soldier."

After Pei Wenxuan said this, Li Ming was silent. After a long time, he finally said: "That's what Pei Aiqing meant..."

"Don't give Yang any chance to breathe."

Pei Wenxuan calmly said: "Now, it is the best time to start with Yang."

"What about the border?" Li Ming frowned. "The Yang family is intertwined at the border. If you act against the Yang family at this moment, the Yang family will rebel at the border..."

"Leave this to the prince."

These words made Li Ming stunned. Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Ming and said seriously: "Now the border is a mess. In Huajing, except for the Shangguan, Su, Pei and other big clans, there is no way to deal with it. Your Majesty is worse than Jiang. This matter is handed over to the prince, and if the prince has any discrepancies, he can use this as an excuse to establish another prince. For the prince, the Shangguan clan must come out and stabilize the Yang clan."

"What if the prince is done?"

"If the prince is done," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "If the prince can really put down the Yang family and consume the main force, then his majesty will replace the prince before the final battle, arrange his cronies as the main general, face the Rong country, and win the first merit , Isn't it right?"

Hearing this, Li Ming was silent. He thought for a while, and Pei Wenxuan knelt on the ground, waiting for Li Ming.

After a long time, Li Ming turned his head and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "You are a smart person."

"Thank your majesty."

"So," Li Ming said lightly, "Why not be loyal to the prince?"

"Because," Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Ming and said steadily, "Your Majesty is your Majesty, and the Prince may not be the Prince."

Li Ming stared at Pei Wenxuan's eyes.

He seldom saw a twenty-year-old young man with such calmness and boldness in his eyes, even when he looked at him, he was somewhat sharp.

Such sharpness may seem fierce, but above the court, it is too rigid and easy to break.

This is a knife, but only, and only a knife.

If Pei Wenxuan is old and smooth, but so witty, Li Ming still has some fear. But looking at Pei Wenxuan's ambitious eyes, Li Ming felt a little funny.

After all, only young people.

"I understand." Li Ming nodded, "You are reasonable, but now in the court," Li Ming sighed, seemingly regretful, "There are not many people who dare to move the Yang family at this time. ."

"The minister is willing to recommend someone to your majesty." Pei Wenxuan spoke respectfully, and Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "you said."

"Weichen Pei Wenxuan," Pei Wenxuan kowtowed, "I would like to share the worries for your Majesty."

"Heh..." Li Ming chuckled lightly, "You are very brave. I don't know, Pei Aiqing, how do you plan to share your worries?"

"Wait for the minister to return to the mansion, I beg your majesty to give a guard to follow the minister back to the mansion secretly. If Yang wants to do it today, the minister will use this as an excuse to request a thorough investigation. From the assassination of the minister, investigation The kidnapping of the princess, and then check the border collusion."

"What if you don't do it?"

"If you don't do it, the minister will take part in his kidnapping of the princess tomorrow. At that time, if no one dares to investigate the case, the minister will request his order in this case."

"Okay." Li Ming nodded, he raised his head, looked at the sky, and said calmly, "It's getting late, you go back, don't let Young Master Yang wait long."

Pei Wenxuan respectfully should, he stood up and helped Li Ming out slowly.

Neither of them talked about Li Rong's marriage, but Pei Wenxuan knew in his heart that as long as Li Ming treated him as his own, Li Rong's marriage should not escape.

When the two came back from the garden chatting, Pei Wenxuan retired and left.

He was led by the **** and walked out of the imperial study room to the square in front of the palace gate, and he saw Li Rong's sedan chair.

Li Rong seemed to have just come out of the East Palace, holding a sword in his hand, rubbing the gem on it.

Seeing Li Rong coming, Pei Wenxuan avoided the **** early and stood on both sides respectfully.

When Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan, she let people stop, sat on a high place, and said with a smile: "Master Pei, why are you still in the palace?"

"Your Majesty has just announced the call," Pei Wenxuan said respectfully, "Talking with your Majesty for a while, before leaving."

"That's it," Li Rong glanced at the person next to him and smiled, "You saved me last night, did the emperor give you a reward?"

"This is what we should do, we should not receive a reward."

"Then I didn't give it." Li Rong sighed, "Father is really stingy."

As she said, she looked at the sword in her hand, held it horizontally and handed it over, rather reluctantly said: "Forget it, this is for you, as my thanks."

Pei Wenxuan was stunned, Li Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, don't you dare to reward me?"

"The princess rewards, how dare the Weichen accept it?" Pei Wenxuan reacted and hurriedly took the sword with both hands. Li Rong looked at the appearance of Pei Wenxuan bowing her head, couldn't help but pursed her lips, approached Pei Wenxuan, and whispered: "Master Pei, you look like this, you are very handsome."

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he knew that Li Rong felt proud of her. He took the sword and smiled softly: "The princess looks like this, but she is really innocent and cute."

Li Rong heard it out, and Pei Wenxuan was scolding her to pretend.

She is most afraid of being said of her because of her innocence.

She didn't smile, she looked at Pei Wenxuan and said: "My palace is still busy to see the emperor. Pei is going slowly and walking slowly on the road. Don't accidentally make any accidents."

——I will never see you in this life.

She used her eyes to convey the rest of the words, and Pei Wenxuan used her eyes to show disdain, but still said on the face: "Thank you for your concern, your highness, go slow."

"Goodbye." Li Rong smiled, then approached Pei Wenxuan, covered his ears, and whispered, "I gave you a few people, no thanks."

After speaking, Li Rong straightened up, Yan Ya held his jaw, and then asked Jiao Hu to set off again in the direction of Yushufang.

Pei Wenxuan watched her leave and was sent out of Miyagi by the eunuch. As soon as he left Miyagi, he saw Tong Ye driving a carriage waiting for him at the door. He looked around and knew that someone was following. He ignored it, pretending to know nothing, sitting in the carriage holding a sword, and the carriage swayed. Akira set off.

He didn't know if Yang Quan would come, but it didn't matter, he was ready.

The carriage turned all the way into the alley. At this moment, the crowd suddenly heard the sound of fighting, and one person suddenly rushed into the Pei Wenxuan carriage and said directly: "By the order of the princess, I am here to protect the son."

After speaking, he was like a bat, curled up to a very small extent, stuck to the top of the carriage and curled up.

Pei Wenxuan was not surprised. When Li Rong said to give others away, he knew that Li Rong was not only here to see him. He nodded to the man, then closed his eyes, and even if he shouted to kill the sky, he seemed to be in a calm state like an old monk, standing still.

After a long time, the carriage was hit hard by others, and the curtain was suddenly lifted, and then Yang Quan rushed into the carriage with a knife in blood.

Pei Wenxuan hugged the sword and opened his eyes, that is, at that moment, the sharp blade suddenly penetrated Yang Quan's body from the rear, and the long sword in Yang Quan's hand was not close to Pei Wenxuan.

With blood splashing out, Pei Wenxuan calmly looked at Yang Quan who had fallen in shock.

"How dare you..." Yang Quan trembled, "How dare you... kill me?"

Pei Wenxuan's expression remained calm, and he spoke very calmly every word: "Fornicating with the enemy's country, supporting his own self-respect, embezzling the law, kidnapping the princess, assassinating the imperial official, ignoring the law and order."

"You Yang family dare to do all of these, I will kill you," Pei Wenxuan said in an accentuated tone, "Why not dare?"

In each sentence, Yang Quan lost his breath.

The hands-on person saluted Pei Wenxuan respectfully, and said quickly: "The princess said, let you remember to go back and knock three times at her portrait, thank her for saving her life."

After speaking, the man jumped out of the carriage and disappeared.

Pei Wenxuan didn't even have time to reply, and the people disappeared. He was silent for a moment, then heard Tong Ye hurried back to the carriage, and when he saw Yang Quan on the ground, he was startled and said hurriedly, "My son, are you okay?"

Pei Wenxuan did not answer. He looked at Yang Quan on the ground. After he pondered for a moment, he calmly said: "Go back to the palace."

"Return to palace?" Tong Ye asked in surprise, "Return to palace?"

Shouldn't you rush to run after killing the son of the Yang family?

"Yes, go back to the palace." Pei Wenxuan's voice was flat and serious, "He scared me, I have to file a complaint."

Child industry: "..."

Son, you really don’t look scared, okay?
