"I didn't take action."

Mr. Xi's affirmative answer made Pei Yue inexplicably relax, but the middle-aged man's face was still heavy, and he said in a melancholy tone: "Wang Pingzhang once tested Duke Liangjie's thoughts before taking action. Maybe he thought that the late emperor was already dead.

Eliminate potential threats to the Chen family

It was a necessary move. In fact, no one knew at that time whether the Chen family would rebel after the death of the late emperor, but I don’t think so, because a woman who was determined to benefit the people of Li by doing business, and for which she was not even willing to be a queen, how could she

Will you rebel because of personal grudges and end up in ruins?"

At this moment, Pei Yue saw a faint light in Mr. Xi's eyes.

He suddenly remembered that his husband never married.

Seeing the strange look on Pei Yue's face, even though Mr. Xi was sad because of the past, he still couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't think too much, I just admire her. Although she is a girl, she has such lofty ambitions. If you insist on it,

It is not a kind of blasphemy to mix the love between children."

Pei Yue felt ashamed and said, "Sir, I am stupid."

Mr. Xi waved his hand and continued: "It doesn't matter. In fact, Duke Liangjie was also in a difficult situation at that time. Wang Pingzhang was both a test and a warning, because Duke Liangjie suppressed that side very hard before. If things are irreversible at this time,

If we don't make amends, the Pei family will be even more difficult after Liu Zheng ascends the throne. At that time, Wang Pingzhang wanted me to take action, but although I respect the honest man, I would never kill Chen Qingchen."

"So it was Silent Cloud who moved his hand?"

"How could he do anything if he was not good at martial arts? At that time, he saw that Duke Liangjie was in trouble, so he asked the most capable swordsman around him to help Wang Pingzhang. That man's name was Lin Donghai. I have sparred with him before. He is indeed a rare master.

Especially the swordsmanship with his left hand was unpredictable and difficult to guard against. However, although he used the cover of others to kill Chen Qingchen, he himself was seriously injured and could not recover, and he died not long after."

"Left-handed sword? The young man next to Silent Cloud?"

"That's his son, his name is Lin He. This young man is too murderous, and he only listens to Silent Cloud's orders. He is not the kind of playboy, and has no scruples in his heart, so you must be careful if you confront him.

."

Pei Yue nodded in agreement, but what he was thinking about was the beginning and end of the matter.

Silent Cloud was already a close confidant of Pei Zhen at that time, and his request to take action was basically in line with Pei Zhen's wishes. No wonder Pei Zhen did not object to Wang Pingzhang's initiative after the death of the late emperor. Now that he had taken that step, there was no point in struggling and hesitating anymore.

He sighed and said: "Dingguo Gong knew that this kind of compensation could not eliminate the hatred in Liu Zheng's heart. After all, he almost eradicated Liu Zheng's power, but he could not touch Wang Pingzhang. After he brought me back to Dingguo Mansion, he asked Pei

Rong withdrew from the army, and the following year he led his army to march westward, working hard and even dying on the border, just to preserve the lintel of the Pei family."

Mr. Xi said with a complicated expression: "Half and half, Duke Liangjie has been suppressed by his ancestors for many years. He originally wanted to lead troops to kill the enemy. Coupled with what happened when the throne was changed, he just got his wish. There is no need to elaborate here.

Said, you have overlooked one thing. If it was not a coincidence that the late emperor sent Gu Liang to the southern border to resist the invasion of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, even if the late emperor did not survive, as long as Gu Liang was in the capital, Liu Zheng might not be able to securely ascend the throne."

Pei Yue asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Mr. Xi asked: "Thirty-four years ago, Guangping Hou Guhao was implicated in the Xian family's rebellion. Zhongzong executed him. It was the ancestors of Dingguo who saved the Gu family. Although his life was saved, during Zhongzong's dynasty, Gu Hao

Even though Liang had many military exploits, he could not be promoted smoothly.

.Especially ten years after Jianping, because of his great military exploits, his reputation in the army became more and more famous, which meant that his situation became more and more dangerous. Zhongzong certainly did not want to see him, but he was still intact in the end.

Survive, why do you think this is?"

Pei Yue's eyes gradually brightened, and he finally figured out the key to the whole matter, and said with some excitement: "It was the late emperor who was protecting him secretly!"

Mr. Xi nodded and said: "It was Duke Liangjie who told me about this. When he was fighting in the Western Region, Duke Liangjie got drunk after a battle. After drinking, he said to me that if Gu Liang had been in Beijing, we still don't know who would win.

.After all, he can suppress Wang Pingzhang alone. If Gu Liang, the god of death, is added to the mix, Wang Pingzhang, no matter how sophisticated he is, will not be able to stop him."

Pei Yue said with some worry: "Sir, you can't tell others about this. If the emperor knows about it, he will definitely try his best to kill Uncle Gu."

Mr. Xi said helplessly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are so distressed, I wouldn't even tell you."

Pei Yue chuckled, but he was thinking about what Gu Liang said to him with a smile at the banquet when he first went to Guangping Marquis Mansion.

"Rebellion is not okay."

Maybe what he really wants to say is rebellion?

But for a dynasty like Daliang that is already very stable, unless there is a big problem in the center, wanting to rebel with a battalion of troops is tantamount to wishful thinking.

"As for your life experience," Mr. Xi pondered deeply, raised his hand and knocked on the back of the chair and said, "I have thought about it carefully these days. Based on the situation back then, there are probably several possibilities."

Pei Yue immediately straightened his body, with a look of curiosity on his face.

Mr. Xi said slowly: "First of all, it can be confirmed that you are not the son of the late emperor. The blood of the Tian family is not a trivial matter. Every time the emperor has sex, it will be recorded in the book. A son will not appear suddenly. You may be related to the Chen family, but it is definitely

He is not the son of Chen Qingchen and the late emperor. There is another possibility. Ling Ping is not an ordinary scholar. The fact that he is so valued by the ancestors of Dingguo means that there is also something wrong with his life experience."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and agreed with Mr. Xi's speculation.

As the truth about the past events comes to light, there are not many possibilities for his life experience. Either it is related to the Chen family, or there is a secret hidden in Ling Ping.

"To be valued so much by Pei Yuan, there are only two possibilities for Ling Ping to be hidden in Kyoto. Either his parents committed crimes and had to remain anonymous. Or his ancestors, like Pei Yuan, were all founding heroes.

It's just that he doesn't want to attract the attention of others for some reasons, but he is definitely not an ordinary scholar." Pei Yue analyzed carefully.

Mr. Xi nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the Chen family for now. If there is a problem with Lingping's identity, it can only be the Xian family or the Lin family in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The ancestors of Dingguo could be treated so seriously and even asked Liangjie Gong and Gu Liang to take care of them together.

, there is no other possibility.”

Pei Yue knew the story of the Chen family and the Xian family, but as for the Lin family, he didn't realize it for a while.

Mr. Xi pointed at him with a smile and said gently: "Your title."

Lin Qingyuan, a Zhongshan native with the posthumous title Zhongwu, was assigned to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Pei Yue opened his mouth slightly and said in disbelief: "Didn't Lin Qingyuan die normally? Moreover, his contribution was so great, even more than that of Pei Yuan. Why would his descendants need to change their names?"

"Lin Qingyuan did not die of illness."

It was as if a thunder exploded next to Pei Yue's ears, leaving him speechless.

Mr. Xi smiled bitterly and said: "I only know this sentence. I accidentally heard the ancestors of Dingguo mentioned it to the public, and did not explain it in detail. As for the whole story, it has been a hundred years now, and neither Lin Qingyuan nor Gaozu has said it.

It has turned into bones and no one can explain clearly. Of course, there may be a place in this world where the answer can be found."

Pei Yue was blessed and said in his heart: "Imperial palace?"

Mr. Xi nodded approvingly, then looked at Pei Yue with interest and said: "I have told you everything I know. There may be some omissions in details, but it is not harmful. I believe you have figured out what happened that year.

But now I have a question that I need you to help me with."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "Excuse me, sir."

Noticing the cunning look in his eyes, Mr. Xi knew that this brat already understood what he wanted to know. He raised his hand and nodded at him, and said with a helpless smile: "You asked me to guard the village, just to guard the weird courtyard behind.

I went in and took a look, but I really couldn’t understand the function of those things, so I’m asking you to help me figure it out today.”

Thinking of the heavily guarded independent courtyard next to the backyard of the main house, Pei Yue showed a strange smile and said softly: "Sir, if you want to know, we might as well go and take a look now."
