"This is His Highness the Sixth Prince."

Gao Qiu seemed to be kind-hearted and helped introduce Pei Yue.

It turned out that he was the more favored Lao Liu. No wonder he dared to sit next to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice in a grand manner. You should know that such behavior is not at all etiquette. The empress of the main palace of Kaiping Emperor had two sons, Lao Er and Lao Liu. The eldest was Wu.

The third and fifth children died in infancy, while the fourth child was born to Concubine Qin De.

The sixth prince's name is Liu Zhi. He has three older brothers and two younger brothers. His status seems a bit awkward, but because of the queen's favor, his status has always been relatively high. Emperor Kaiping has not established a prince yet, and does not allow princes to be crown princes.

They directly intervene in government affairs, so these young people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths have not yet made any obvious moves to compete for the throne.

Because of this, the courtiers didn't know which cloud in the sky would cause rain, so they were very polite to these princes, especially the two children born to the queen.

Liu Zhi grew up in such an environment, and his temper was definitely not very good, but he could barely maintain the demeanor of a prince. He did not directly scold Pei Yue, but only gave a faint warning.

According to his assumptions, even if Pei Yue was not scared to death, at least he would immediately grovel and surrender to him.

After all, the identity gap between the two parties is too big. One is a high-ranking prince, and the other is a little-known white-bodied bastard.

Pei Yue first bowed to Liu Zhi according to the etiquette and praised: "I have met the Sixth Prince."

Liu Zhi frowned slightly, because Pei Yue was a little perfunctory both in terms of salutes and honorifics. However, considering that the other party was only fourteen years old, Liu Zhi only thought that he did not understand etiquette, so he could bear it for the time being.

.

Before Liu Zhi could speak, Pei Yue straightened up and asked with a confused look on his face: "I wonder why your highness is here?"

When the calm-looking palace monitor heard these somewhat familiar words, he suddenly felt his throat felt a little itchy and couldn't help but cough a few times.

Liu Zhi thought he heard wrongly, stared at Pei Yue's face, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

In fact, before he spoke, Pei Yue had been weighing in his mind.

Is it necessary to persist in convicting Li Zijun?

Judging from the current situation, Emperor Kaiping plans to use him, which is not a bad thing for his future development in the army. And because of the incompatible relationship between him and Pei Rong, Emperor Kaiping will not have too many taboos and will not worry about him.

It can take the place of Pei Rong or Pei Cheng and shoulder the influence of the Pei family in the army. In this way, there will be another force in the army. Even if it is still very weak now, it is in line with the consistent behavior of the emperor.

proposition.

With Gu Liang's support, Mr. Xi's teachings, and the emperor's appreciation, Pei Yue's future can be expected to be smooth.

Under such a general premise, there doesn't seem to be much loss in satisfying the emperor's whims and making him think that he is a sensible and knowledgeable person.

But Pei Yue has been hesitating. If Li Zijun is forced to drink three drinks as a penalty, what will happen in the future?

You can't always take gentle measures against the enemy, as this can easily form a kind of inertia.

Fortunately, Liu Zhi's words made Pei Yue firm up.

So he said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I don't understand the reason why His Highness appears here."

Of course Liu Zhi would not say that he was entrusted by Li Bingzhong to support Li Zijun when he had nothing to do, let alone that he had some thoughts in his heart and got closer to several important ministers. Faced with Pei Yue's repeated rudeness

He scolded him in a cold voice: "What a shame! Who are you talking to?"

Pei Yue said with pure eyes: "I am talking to His Highness the Sixth Prince."

"puff--"

Gu Fan quickly covered his mouth. In fact, he was not very afraid of these princes. The Gu family relied on their solid military achievements, not flattering someone. In Emperor Kaiping's overall plan for the world, people like Gu Liang were destined to

He is the head coach of an army, not a small role that a prince can step on.

The reason why he was acting like this was because he had already figured out Pei Yue's character and didn't want to disrupt this brat's performance.

One look at Pei Yue's confused expression, and he knew that he was digging a hole for someone else again, but this time the person digging a hole turned out to be a prince. Gu Fan couldn't help but feel that he was very dignified as an elder brother.

Besides, this was the first time that Liu Zhi met a young man like Pei Yue. At this time, he couldn't tell whether the other person was really innocent or just acting, but the look in his eyes was so clear. After hesitating for a moment, he reprimanded: "I am.

Wang heard that the Ministry of Punishment was hearing a case involving a dispute between noble sons and came to take a look. Do you have any other opinions?"

Pei Yue sighed softly and said: "I naturally have no idea and dare not have any opinion on how Your Highness behaves, but the person who instigated Your Highness to come to the Punishment Department really deserves to be killed!"

He glanced at the eunuch on the right and added: "Especially in front of this father-in-law."

The eunuch smiled when he heard this and said, "We don't understand what Mr. Pei said. We just came here to take a look at it according to the holy will."

Liu Zhi didn't understand the reason and said slightly angrily: "Pei Yue, don't talk nonsense. I am here to be fair and aboveboard. Is it a shameful thing?"

Pei Yue said in a sincere tone: "Who in Kyoto doesn't know that His Highness is so glorious and magnanimous that he can only be magnanimous. But this magnanimity can only guard against gentlemen, not villains. That's why His Highness was misled by such villains and stepped into

Today’s chaos.”

Liu Zhi's face gradually darkened, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart. Could it be that this boy was really thinking about himself?

Although he came to support Li Zijun, at least he has not shown his attitude yet. Does Pei Yue have the ability to see into people's hearts at his age? In this case, he should not deliberately confuse right and wrong in front of him.

When he thought of this, Liu Zhi calmed down and said, "I would like to hear why you can't come here today."

Seeing that he took the bait, Pei Yue breathed a sigh of relief and became more calm and confident: "What I just said to Li Qingcheng aroused His Highness's displeasure. Maybe it was because he felt that I didn't understand the importance of superiority and inferiority and had no etiquette in my heart, so I did it

Reprimand. I just want to say that the most important thing for a minister is to know his duty. Don't say what you shouldn't say, ignore things you shouldn't do, and you must stick to your duty when you shouldn't reach out."

"Today the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment decided the case. This is a government matter of the imperial court. As a prince, why does His Highness have to get involved with such a noble status?"

Liu Zhi was immediately furious. He slammed the table and said, "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"

Pei Yue was not afraid and said loudly: "Your Majesty has made it clear that the prince and the people in the harem are not allowed to interfere with the government's affairs. What is the purpose of your visit today? Does it mean that your Majesty does not take your Majesty seriously? Or does it mean that there are only two days in the sky? There are two monarchs in the country.

?”

Gao Qiu's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and his eyes looked at Pei Yue with a look of horror.

What a courage!

The palace eunuch had a solemn look on his face. In fact, he was surprised to see Liu Zhi when he arrived. However, as a palace man, he knew best that he should be careful in his words and deeds, so he didn't say much to remind him.

Liu Zhi forgot Li Bingzhong's plea at this time, and said with a face as dark as iron: "I am just here to take a look, but you are here to scaremongering, and you are so cruel!"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Since your Majesty has not given your Highnesses the right to observe the government, you naturally have other considerations. Your Highness has come here rashly today, not only betraying His Majesty's hard work, but also being infamous for being unfilial. Why bother to come?"
