Chapter 1086 1087 [Never waste the eternal flow of rivers]

Silent Cloud's eyes were still gentle, without any harshness.

However, Pei Yue couldn't help but think of that scene.

He had just come to this world at that time, and it happened to be the sixtieth birthday of Pei Taijun of Dingguo Mansion. He, Pei Cheng and others were waiting in front of the gate to welcome guests. The first time he saw Silent Cloud, he felt that this middle-aged man had a calm demeanor. Men are as unfathomable as the sea. My perception of him has changed many times since then, but the awe I felt when I first met him remains fresh in my memory.

I just didn't expect that a big man with such a big city would stubbornly take that step. Shen Danmo couldn't persuade him, Gu Liang was helpless, and Mr. Lian Xi could only silently feel sad.

Back to this moment, this question seems simple but very difficult to answer.

Pei Yue thought about it and said calmly: "It's both."

Silent Cloud was not surprised and said with a smile: "I thought you would be so frank in front of His Majesty. Nine points of truth and one point of falsehood. Although that one point of falsehood is very important, it is rare to be able to achieve nine points of truth. No wonder His Majesty will gradually become more and more honest. Put down your guard."

Pei Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Master Shen, I have to have some reservations."

"Understood." Silent Cloud nodded, glanced at the tray covered with red satin on the table, and said unhurriedly: "His Majesty will definitely give you comfort first, so no matter whether he is granted the title of You or not, short of The North Camp will not be moved for a while, and the prince will be reminded about this matter. Now the Beijing Camp is undergoing a major change, and with the addition of Luan Yi Guards, the Forbidden Army and the Garrison Division, the sand has been cleaned. In fact, the situation you are facing is worse than Wang Pingzhang. It’s going to be harder.”

Pei Yue deeply believed in this.

Life is full of problems. Unless he can put down everything he has earned and return to his hometown with the title of Duke and become a rich man who does not care about the world, then both Emperor Kaiping and Liu Xian will protect him for the rest of his life.

This rebellion has indeed damaged the strength of the Daliang Jingying camp, but from the Tianjia's point of view, the most important thing is to eliminate Wang Pingzhang's influence and ambush, so that he can now feel free to deal with the enemies outside.

He mused: "This is a game. If His Majesty wants to kill me all together, he can't bear the consequences. If I really have no objection, I will only accept this reality calmly. At present, it seems , the two sides can roughly reach a consensus, I will continue to be a loyal minister of the Fu Baotian family, and he will give me certain powers to facilitate me to realize my ambitions."

Previously in the Xingqing Hall, the communication between him and Emperor Kaiping was hidden under the surface, and neither party explained what they said.

Silent Cloud sighed: "Some people say you are stupid and loyal, and some people say you are cunning, but those people obviously can't understand that your decision is the most correct and only correct choice in this game."

A hint of tiredness appeared on Pei Yue's face. He hurried back from northern Xinjiang. Not only did he have to lead troops to fight, but he also had to repeatedly weigh the pros and cons of every decision. He barely slept at all last night. He had just met Emperor Kaiping's memorial. It took him too much effort and he looked a little tired at the moment.

Upon seeing this, Silent Cloud said bluntly: "Before Wang Pingzhang launched his attack, I followed His Majesty's instructions and sent a large number of experts to go with Luan Yiwei's spies to the Western and Southern Territories, carrying the imperial decree to take Xiongwu Hou Lan Yu and Runan Hou Liu Dingyuan into custody. Go back to Kyoto."

Pei Yue's eyes narrowed, and then he said slowly: "It seems that Wang Pingzhang has not hidden anything from His Majesty after all."

Silent Cloud nodded slightly and continued: "Although His Majesty has not said it explicitly, based on my speculation, he will definitely tell the prince to adjust the generals of the border army. If nothing unexpected happens, Gongcheng Hou Guo Xing will be transferred to the head coach of Changping Camp, Baoding Bo Cai Qian Then he will take over the position of coach of the Zhennan Camp. As for the coach of the Yaoshan Camp, he will most likely choose an older Wu Xun from the capital to take over."

Pei Yue's mind raced, and he understood the reminder of Silent Cloud in a very short period of time.

He said slowly: "Your Majesty wants the new king to show his favor."

Silent Cloud said: "Last year, when the war in the southern border ended, His Majesty took advantage of Cai Qian's contribution and did not grant him the title of Marquis. This was probably to pave the way for the future. However, he did not expect that the situation would change like this, so this matter was naturally left to Liu. Xian will do it. When the period of national mourning is over, Liu Xian can make Cai Qian a Marquis and let him take charge of the Zhennan Camp. Then let an idle Wu Xun take over the Zhennan Camp. In this way, the two most important buildings in the Southern Army will be The camp will become the treasure of the emperor."

Pei Yue recalled his contact with Cai Qian when he was in the southern border, and he couldn't help but said seriously: "Cai Qian is qualified in both character and ability. I will not object, let alone stand in the way."

Silent Cloud said approvingly: "This is natural. Only good state-owned generals can ensure border stability. In fact, this is the biggest difference between you and Wang Pingzhang. You limit the struggle to a certain range. Although the difficulty increases, it can win for you. More help. Watching you secretly plotting over the years, sometimes I can’t help but sigh, I shouldn’t have listened to Taijun Pei’s dissuasion and recruited you into Taige.”

Pei Yue vaguely remembered Shen Danmo mentioning this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, I don't reject this option."

Silent Cloud smiled gently and changed the subject: "You have shifted the focus of the Xiangyun to various places. This is a very courageous and far-sighted move. Judging from the intelligence collected by Taige Erlang, most of the Xiangyun's It has developed very well over the past few years. The second thing is how much money we have made. The key is to greatly promote the development of business and trade in the five southern states."

He paused and said earnestly: "Although I don't know your overall plan, there is one thing I want to remind you. Don't do anything too hastily. Although Daliang does not have a national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, it also attaches great importance to business taxes. However, we cannot blindly pursue the development of commerce and ignore the importance of farming. Since ancient times, the overthrow of dynasties has been superficially caused by military warfare, but the root cause is actually that the people cannot survive. Once people have no food to eat, they will become refugees, and the scale will be huge. It will inevitably shake the foundation of the dynasty."

Pei Yue looked at each other blankly.

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "Why are you so surprised? In fact, many sages have said this, I am just picking up others' wisdom."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "I've learned a lesson."

Silent Cloud shook his head and said: "I can only think of the reasons at this level, but there is no good way to solve it. I have read through the ancient books written by the sages, trying to find a way to solve it, but I still can't get a glimpse of the way. After the Xiangyun No. was launched, From the beginning, I have been secretly observing your every move, especially after you transferred your industry out of Beijing. I vaguely noticed that you seemed to have greater ideals, so I will say a few words today. No matter how business and trade develops, food will always be the top priority. If you can make the people of Daliang no longer worry about having enough food, then many problems will be solved."

Pei Yue solemnly said: "I will do my best."

Silent Cloud showed a satisfied look on his face, and then said unhurriedly: "On the Western Army side, the Longgong Camp and the Dingxi Camp will change their commanders. Regardless of the latter, the Longgong Camp must choose capable Wu Xun. , don’t just give in just because the new king shows favor.”

Pei Yue responded: "I will consider it carefully with my father-in-law."

Silent Cloud raised his hand to pick up the tea cup, poured some clear tea on the table, then dipped his fingers in water and wrote two names in front of Pei Yue, and after Pei Yue saw them clearly, he erased the traces.

Pei Yue was slightly startled at first, and then looked at the other party in confusion.

Shen Moyun said: "If you need it in the future, you can ask them to do something. It's my little thought."

Pei Yue had mixed feelings. He felt that more and more expectations and hopes were weighing on his shoulders. Although he would not stop there, at this moment when he was about to say goodbye, it was inevitable that he would be a little heavy and sad.

He said softly: "Master Shen, please rest assured that I will definitely take good care of Miss Shen and your relatives."

From the beginning to the end, Silent Cloud never mentioned this matter. He just made his judgment on the court situation and his concern for Pei Yue clear. After hearing Pei Yue's firm assurance, he smiled and said: "I believe you I can do it, so I didn’t plan to open my mouth.”

This is a trust that needs no words to explain.

For Pei Yue, after talking to Silent Cloud, he felt more and more intolerable.

A hero like this should never have ended up in this situation.

As if she could see what he was thinking, Silent Yun said leisurely: "Just now you asked me if it was worth it? In fact, for me, there is no worth in this world, it only depends on the choice of my heart. Back then, I traveled around the world and came to Kyoto. Looking at this majestic city, what comes to mind are ordinary people struggling to make ends meet, so I want to do something to the best of my ability."

He raised his hand to lift up the satin on the tray and said calmly: "It has been thirty years since I entered the capital. It seems that I have not accomplished anything major. It is so boring to stir up troubles in this mysterious hell all day long."

He poured the poisoned wine into the cup and filled it to the top.

Pei Yue subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but was stopped by Silent Cloud's eyes.

He looked at the slightly bubbling wine in the glass and sighed: "I told Your Majesty earlier that he did some things wrong, but when I think about it carefully, I don't seem to have done many things right. Such a king and his ministers should walk together, Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be lonely along the way."

Pei Yue looked at the will to die in his eyes and slowly stood up.

Silent Cloud looked up at him and said gently: "Go, don't look back, don't stop."

He raised his glass, smiled, and drank it in one gulp.

Pei Yue bowed and saluted and couldn't get up for a long time.
