"Gu Liang! Don't forget, if it weren't for the help of my ancestors, your Gu family would have been killed long ago. How can you scream in front of me today?" Regarding his retreat just now, Pei Rong felt very embarrassed in his heart, so he

Standing in front of Gu Liang, he roared angrily.

Gu Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and reprimanded him mercilessly: "That is the kindness of the Duke of Guo to the Gu family. What does it have to do with you, a drunkard and a wealthy person? When the Duke of Guo is alive, I will naturally respect him.

Now that he is gone, what we, the younger generation, have to do is to protect the honor of the Pei family for him. You were born big and thick, but your mind is smaller than that of a chicken. You make things difficult for your son in every possible way. Such actions will only make Duke Dingguo miserable.

The house has been brought into disgrace, are you worthy of sitting in the position of the head of the house?"

Pei Rong's face was red and his ears were red, and his eyes were filled with hatred and madness.

If it were any other close nobleman today, he would not be so unfaithful to Pei Rong, but he is Gu Liang after all, a tiger general in the army who climbed up from the dead on the battlefield. His Majesty the Emperor personally commended him as "my humerus."

"The emperor's confidant. Over the years, speaking out and being outspoken has been Gu Liang's characteristic. Except for the big guys in the two houses, there are not many dignitaries who dare to joke in front of him.

However, after repelling Pei Rong, Gu Liang did not continue to scold him. He came to the high platform and bowed his hands to Pei Taijun and said: "Madam, I am not rude and rude to you, but because Quanzi was at Green Willow Manor last night and witnessed the night attack of bandits."

The whole process. It is inconvenient to tell the story to the Dowager’s face. The younger generation only feels sorry for the child Pei Yue. Not to mention that he has been abused since childhood, and now it is even more difficult to live. It is simply unreasonable! The younger generation also has several incompetent sons.

, although the discipline is very strict, it is far behind compared with Brother Yue. Last night, Quanzi said that Brother Yue would return home today, and the junior was worried that something might happen to him, so he led a group of soldiers back to Kyoto and took the liberty to visit.

Please come in, and if you are rude, please ask the Madam to punish you."

Pei Taijun shook his head and sighed: "You clearly did this for the sake of our Pei family. Although the old woman is old, she is not that stupid, so how can she blame you? Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for the good children you taught me.

, to help Brother Yue get through this disaster. If he really makes any mistakes, it will be my fault."

The two of them looked at each other, each trying to find some clues in the other's eyes.

Gu Liang looked away, turned to look at Pei Yue and said, "Brother Yue, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

Pei Yue first thanked him, and then repeated what he said before.

Gu Liang pondered for a moment and said to Pei Taijun: "Madam, this junior thinks that Yue Ge'er's method is very good. Uncle Dingyuan is embarrassed by his big job and does such taboo things, so why not take a step back. After he wrote a letter to resign,

I will ask the Holy One to see him and take a different approach. The Holy One is tolerant and kind, and with the Pei family’s great achievements over the past century, this matter will not lead to a big disaster."

After all, these words were too direct. Pei Taijun only felt that her face was dull. She glanced at Pei Rong, who had a cold face, and she couldn't help but fall into silence.

After Pei Rong saw Gu Liang come in, he knew that he couldn't keep that little beast today. It was already difficult for a Mr. Xi to deal with it. Now here comes Gu Liang, who was famous in Kyoto with his martial arts talent when he was young.

It is really difficult to make an enemy of Cao Mang. Moreover, Gu Liang's identity is different. Facing such a powerful prince with a holy family, those knights may not even have the courage to take action.

Even so, Pei Rong never thought that he would really go to court to resign.

After being scolded by Gu Liang, he calmed down. After thinking about Pei Yue's behavior, he vaguely understood in his heart that this little beast was just taking the opportunity to intimidate him. Otherwise, when he entered Beijing today, he would have gone directly to the imperial city. I didn’t come to the mansion specifically to be at odds with myself.

He did this just to take advantage of the situation to force himself to bow his head.

Huh, can you fool me with your little tricks?

At this time, a maid walked into Ding'an Hall tremblingly. After bowing, she said to Pei Taijun: "Old lady, there is an adult outside asking to see you. He said his surname is Shen."

Pei Taijun said a little tiredly: "Please invite him in."

Gu Liang glanced at Pei Yue, and the young man shook his head, indicating that he had not invited the spy leader in charge of Taishitai Pavilion.

Silent Cloud entered alone, first greeted Mr. Pei, then met Mr. Xi, then Gu Liang, and finally Pei Rong. He had an upright demeanor and gentle words, as if he had not noticed the tense atmosphere in the hall. At this time, Because there were too many foreign guests, Mrs. Li took Pei Ning down. The girl looked at Pei Yue worriedly before leaving, and Pei Yue gave her a reassuring look in return.

Taijun Pei invited everyone to take their seats.

Mr. Xi and Gu Liang sat on the left side of her head, while Silent Cloud and Pei Rong sat on the right side.

As for the two juniors, Pei Yue and Gu Fan, there were no seats for them at this moment, so they could only stand in the hall in a miserable state.

Taijun Pei looked at Silent Cloud and asked, "Why are you here?"

Silent Cloud naturally would not say the exaggerated words of the young man named Qi Min. He only smiled and said: "I was called by His Majesty this morning and asked my nephew some things."

Pei Taijun asked nervously: "What's the matter?"

Silent Cloud seemed to say casually: "In recent days, more and more memorials have been impeached by the DPRK and Central Government against Wei Guogong, the Zuo Junji, accusing him of failing to suppress thieves, delaying the war, causing hardship to the people, and people in Kyoto are panicking. His Majesty said, the way to speak is Blockage is a sign of national subjugation, so he is very pleased to see so many ministers and servants in the court who are loyal to the country. However, recently some people have been colluding to use this matter to completely defeat Zuo Junji, which is too arrogant."

He paused and continued: "Your Majesty said that this wind cannot last long."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Pei Rong said angrily: "What does this matter have to do with me?"

Gu Fan whispered in Pei Yue's ear: "You really know how to dream. That Wei Guogong has such a deep foundation. It's ridiculous to try to bring him down with this kind of thing."

Pei Yue was noncommittal. When Silent Cloud spoke, the tone of today's events had been set. He did not want to stand out at this time.

Silent Cloud said calmly: "Young Master, there is no need to worry, His Majesty never said that you would be in charge of this matter."

Pei Rong felt a little at ease. Although he did secretly instruct several close censors to impeach Wang Pingzhang, this kind of thing could only be done but not acknowledged.

However, Silent Cloud said again: "Your Majesty only said one thing, Pei Rong left his good uncle alone and was willing to fall in with those thieves. What on earth do you want to do?"

Pei Rong was horrified, and Pei Taijun's face on the high platform was also ugly.

The old lady asked worriedly: "Moyun, why are you here today?"

Silent Cloud sighed softly and said: "Aunt, my nephew doesn't go around in circles in front of you. What the young master did is too outrageous! I am in charge of Taishitai Pavilion for your majesty. There are some things that involve the house, so I will help. It’s a cover-up. But Auntie should know that I am not the only source of His Majesty’s information. It is difficult to hide things in Kyoto from him.”

He looked at Pei Rong and said seriously: "How can you be associated with those bandits?"

Pei Rong's face turned pale, and endless fear arose in his heart.

Gu Liang said bluntly: "Since His Majesty already knew it and specifically revealed it to Master Shen, he didn't really want to do anything to Duke Dingguo's mansion. He just needs an explanation from here. Peirong, as a The head of the country Ding has done such a wrong thing again, so he must take responsibility for it, otherwise don't force me to spit on you. In my opinion, Brother Yue's method is very good. If you take the initiative to resign, the title will be yours. The eldest son will take over. From now on, just enjoy yourself in the house and don’t interfere in other things."

Silent Cloud muttered: "Yes."

Taijun Pei was still worried and asked Shen Moyun: "With this, can the Holy One really let Rong'er go?"

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, since Your Majesty has ordered me to handle this matter, he will not pursue me. After all, he knows the connection between me and the family. Nowadays, very few people know about this matter. Those here today They are all from the Dingguo lineage, so there won't be any problems. Young Master, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at Pei Rong.

Silent Cloud's attitude was still gentle, but this indifferent demeanor put the greatest pressure on Pei Rong, because this middle-aged man represented His Majesty the Emperor at this time.

Mr. Xi's eyes were complicated. In fact, after seeing him last night, he was completely disappointed with Pei Rong. Otherwise, he would not have stood beside Pei Yue to support him so completely. However, thinking of Pei Rong's father and those great years, The two of them were called master and servant, but they were actually brothers. He couldn't help but feel a bit sad in his heart, and he was naturally angry with Pei Rong.

As for Gu Liang, he didn't have the same thoughts as these two. After all, Mr. Xi and Shen Moyun had both received favors from Pei Zhen, and the person he was more grateful to was Pei Yuan, the first Duke of Dingguo.

Although they both share the same character, there is a big difference.

Pei Yue looked calm, and Gu Fan chuckled softly: "Stop pretending, just laugh if you want."

Pei Yue glanced at him with disdain, and Gu Fan was furious. If there weren't several big guys sitting here, he might have shown his fists.

Not to mention the nonsense between the two juniors, Pei Rong finally lowered his proud head under the indifferent gaze of Shen Moyun, and his heart filled with humiliation turned into one sentence: "I will submit my resignation tomorrow."

Gu Liang said impatiently: "Why do you need tomorrow? Don't you have many Qingqing customers? I will ask someone to draft one later. You can copy it and let Mr. Shen take it back."

Pei Rong stared at Gu Liang with burning eyes.

Taijun Pei let out a long sigh and said with a dejected look: "Rong'er, let's do this. From now on, you can cultivate your moral character at home. In consideration of our Pei family's past achievements, the Holy Father may even reward you with a title."

Pei Rong's cheeks twitched, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, stood up and said, "My son understands, mother, my son will do it now."

After saying that, he left Ding'an Hall without looking back, not wanting to stay any longer.

Pei Yue looked at his embarrassed back and sneered in his heart. He handed over the title and wanted to get it back? After he resigned, Pei Cheng inherited the title. Unless Pei Rong could cut off the heads of the Western Wu or Southern Zhou emperors, how could he get it back? Any chance of getting a double title?

Although there were many twists and turns today, Pei Yue finally completed his plan and let out a sigh of relief.

Then he heard Silent Cloud ask himself: "Brother Yue, are you free this afternoon?"

Pei Yue asked in confusion: "Uncle Shen, is there something wrong?"

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "I would like to invite you to my house as a guest."

Without waiting for Pei Yue to answer, Gu Liang frowned and said: "Master Shen, you are not being kind. I finally came back and was planning to take Brother Yue back to my house later for a talk. Who are you trying to rob me of? "

Steal someone?

Pei Yue looked at the sudden enthusiasm of the two middle-aged men and was a little confused for a moment.
