People are close and distant, and Silent Cloud's attitude was not beyond Pei Yue's expectations.

At this stage, his position is not high, and he is often the one who is scrutinized. But for Pei Yue, standing low is more convenient for him to observe those people in high positions.

Among the three big bosses he has come into contact with and is relatively familiar with, Gu Liang hardly treats him as his own son. In fact, his attitude is more friendly, at least much more friendly than that of Gu Fan. Position determines attitude, and Gu Liang treats Pei Rong The couple's views are the same as Pei Yue's, so he will only support Pei Yue's ideas, and will not be timid even when facing Pei Taijun.

Mr. Xi is slightly different. He agrees with Pei Yue's counterattack against Pei Rong and Li, and it was his suggestion to visit the Shen Mansion today. But other than these two people, he does not want too much turmoil in the Dingguo Mansion. Pei Yue could see that Mr. Xi had no selfish motives and was simply trying to repay Pei Zhen's kindness back then.

Perhaps this is what Gu Liang said. Even though this person has been on the battlefield for a long time, he still maintains the character of a scholar in his heart.

As for Silent Cloud, some scenes from the past flashed through Pei Yue's mind.

When we first met at the main entrance of Dingguo Mansion, this man was very kind to Pei Cheng and Pei Yun. From his words, we could tell that the second eldest son Pei Yun and Shen Danmo had a close friendship and they often exchanged letters. Pei Ning and Shen Danmo were even more affectionate. An intimate handkerchief, the first letter was given to him by Pei Ning. It can be seen from this that although the elders of the two families have not had much contact due to Shen Moyun's special status, the younger ones are very familiar with each other. Common interaction patterns.

Therefore, no matter how sincere Shen Moyun said just now, and how straightforward his intention to support and help was expressed, Pei Yue never let go of his guard.

"Must it be like this?"

Silent Cloud asked again.

Pei Yue lowered his head slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "Master Shen, this junior only knows how to serve the country loyally, so I present to you the criminal evidence captured on the battlefield. As for how to deal with it, it involves a distinguished figure like Ding Yuanbo. It is not something that juniors can comment on, it all depends on the Holy One and the adults to decide."

At this point in the conversation, there was finally a touch of sharpness that Shen Danmo had imagined.

Silent Cloud looked at the handsome young man in front of him quietly.

As early as half a year ago, when he was checking the intelligence of Dingguo Mansion, he noticed the story that happened that day in Mingyue Pavilion, so he praised Pei Yue for being "so courageous" when they first met. But even he couldn't expect that this young man The speed of growth is so astonishing. A few months ago in Ding'an Hall, although he was the one who made the final decision and forced Pei Rong to resign, the whole thing was planned by the young man in front of him.

If Pei Yue gave him the impression of being unyielding and courageous before, today's words outline the calm and reserved side of his character.

The so-called knowing how to advance and retreat is just three words, but it has stumped many famous people.

What Pei Yue meant was that since His Majesty the Emperor praised him for being loyal and righteous, it was reasonable for him to hand over such important evidence. As for Pei Rong, his biological father was no greater than the emperor's father after all, and he just handed it over to Shen Moyun. It's not like he went to Chengtian Palace to report with evidence.

For Silent Cloud, this thin piece of paper is a hot potato.

When His Majesty the Emperor first found out that Pei Rong had colluded with the bandits, he was in a very bad mood. His face was frighteningly gloomy during those days. Later, when he received the memorial from Pei Rong voluntarily resigning from the title, he even cursed a few times. It seemed that he wanted to kill him. Pei Rong was imprisoned, but Silent Cloud, who was familiar with his character, knew that His Majesty did not want to really kill Pei Rong at all.

After Emperor Kaiping ascended the throne, he recuperated and waited for ten years before changing his reign. Just when the young and powerful king was about to start the process of unifying the world, an accident forced him to stop.

Now that the situation is becoming more and more favorable to Daliang, the treasury is full, and the military is at its peak. Maybe Emperor Kaiping can accomplish great achievements that even Emperor Gaozu never did. How could he possibly touch Pei Rong at this time?

In the past ten years or so, Emperor Kaiping has worked hard to adjust the layout of the court and the army, completing his ideas step by step. Now the two governments are balanced and the army is stable. Just waiting for an opportunity, Daliang can first conquer Western Wu and then attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty. , to achieve the great cause of unifying the world.

As long as Pei Rong did not lose his mind and led his troops to attack the imperial city in rebellion, the emperor would not touch him.

Although Pei Yue handed over the evidence, people's hearts are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that there will be no unrest in the army? Who can guarantee that those nobles will not misunderstand that this is a signal that the Tian family is going to be purged?

Silent Cloud asked in a deep voice: "Brother Yue, what do you want me to do?"

Pei Yue had already expected that today would not go so smoothly.

He faced Silent Cloud Gujing's unwavering gaze and said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency, you may not know that this evidence was not obtained by this junior alone. At that time, there were 24 soldiers from the South Camp of the Beijing Army present, as well as the Marquis of Guangping. His son Gu Fan. The younger generation is still young and is not in a hurry to make achievements. But for those soldiers who worked hard for the country, this is a feat that cannot be ignored. They fought hard and fast with the bandits, not only captured a large number of bandits, but also captured This is evidence. I feel that if some people had not colluded with the bandits for their own selfish interests, there would not have been so many casualties among the people in the capital and outside the city."

Silent Cloud heard the hidden meaning in Pei Yue's words.

His trip was not for personal enmity, but for justice.

If Silent Cloud insists on minimizing this matter, or even suppressing it by force, then Pei Yue will expose Pei Rong's crimes through other channels. It is a serious crime to accuse a father of his son in Daliang, but Pei Yue's move is to stand up From the moral high ground, even those famous scholars cannot find anything wrong.

What a funny and ruthless young man.

Silent Cloud sighed softly in his heart, then carefully put away the piece of paper, and said calmly: "I understand what you think, and I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully."

As long as Pei Yue made such a promise, the purpose of his trip would have been achieved.

Silent Cloud said again: "Brother Yue, I must explain to you in advance that even if I report this matter to His Majesty, the final result will hardly meet your expectations."

Pei Yue was slightly puzzled and said: "The evidence is solid, will your Majesty still favor him?"

Silent Cloud shook his head and said: "It's not partiality. Even though Your Majesty is the supreme king in the world, you can't do whatever you want. In many cases, you have to consider the influence of all aspects. If Pei Rong hadn't been born in Dingguo Mansion, he would have died long ago because of what he did. Eight hundred times, I don’t need the evidence you handed over. But the Pei family is different after all, this matter is not that simple."

Pei Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "What's the difference?"

Silent Cloud said frankly: "The world will ask, why is it necessary for the ruler of Ding to collude with the bandits? Can this evidence really win the trust of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty? Who can guarantee that this move will not make the Tian family and the nobles suspicious of each other? ?”
