Marry a wife to be the emperor

On the day of returning to Beijing, the Supreme Emperor entered the palace, and Pei Qinghong went back to Pei's house alone.During the period of suppressing the rebellion, Lan Min in Pei's mansion was always disguised by the shadow guard, but as soon as Pei Qinghong came back, the shadow guard received the order and left Pei's mansion on the grounds of going home to visit.

The Taishanghuang has a lot of things to do in the past few days, and it is a waste of time to go back and forth between the palace and Pei's mansion. Tai Shulan will not want to sleep in the same bed with Pei Qinghong, even if he only sleeps in the same room. Neither does the bed.

The news of Taishu Yue's death first reached Tai Shulan's ears, and then Pei Qinghong, who was in Pei's mansion, soon learned of the news.For the past six months, Pei Yan, who had been worried every day, made his face look haggard, and even dropped the cup he was drinking on the ground.

The valuable cup was smashed to pieces, but no one in the Pei family cared about it.Pei Yan stood up abruptly, trying to give the reporter a sense of oppression by looking down: "This meal can be eaten indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense!"

The person who reported the letter was made weak by his arrogance, but he still didn't change a word: "The villain also understands this truth. The prime minister wants the young one to inform the news, how dare the young one use such a thing to fool the prime minister?" , the emperor's death is absolutely true, I dare to swear to the heavens, what I say is absolutely true! Not only is the emperor gone, but Eunuch Xue, who was close to the emperor, is also gone."

Pei Yan also knew that the other party didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just couldn't believe it.After all, Pei Qinghong, who was standing beside him, calmed down a lot. After asking the person who reported the letter to go to the cashier to pay the money, he made a sound to appease Ye Shi, who was also in shock.Pei Yan's reaction to this matter was too great, Ye Shi wanted to calm down and comfort her husband instead.

In the past half a year, Rong Xin has given birth to the eldest grandson of the Pei family. As a female family member of the family, she followed Ye's and worked hard to manage the housework of the Pei family, and she also had to take care of her first child. The emperor's death may have had a great impact on the Pei family, but he can only do his own job well in silence, and he really can't help with anything else.

All the female family members in the mansion retreated, Pei Qinglin spoke in the direction, and Pei Yan, who was slumped on the grand teacher's chair, waved his hands: "I have nothing to do, so Qinglin will go down first. Qingyi can't help you with this matter." Turning his face to Ye Shi, he said, "Madam, go back to the room first. Qinghong is coming back today. I happen to have someone to discuss with. You can't help here. Go back and rest first, and wait for me and Qinghong to talk to each other." Hong will naturally go back to his room after talking."

"But..." Mrs. Ye is still a bit hesitant. Pei's mansion is essentially a man's house and a woman's mansion. Apart from earning money, Ye's affairs in the mansion, the reputation of Pei's mansion, the marriage of children and the relationship between relatives and neighbors She handles all the interpersonal relationships among them, but because of her business, she still has some understanding of the intricate officialdom.

It stands to reason that Pei Yan shouldn't have lost his composure when the little emperor passed away, but she couldn't explain the details of the official affairs, and she certainly wasn't as thorough as Pei Yan in this respect.Pei Yan sent a message. Although she was worried, she still chose to retreat silently.

Before she left, she did not forget to add: "If there is anything that can be of use to me, husband, please don't refuse to talk to me."

Pei Yan forced a smile at her: "Madam's words, if it is useful to your place, my husband will naturally speak up. We are a family, and Madam will definitely spare no effort to help."

With his promise, Mrs. Ye went down. Pei Qinghong closed the door after the last person went out, and then sat opposite Pei Yan and asked aloud: "Why is father so gaffe?"

Pei Yan sighed: "The emperor was living well in the palace before, but this person suddenly disappeared, and the Supreme Emperor came back with you on the same day. Obviously, the Supreme Emperor wanted to take the people in the court to death! Didn't you fall out with him earlier? Now, as a father, I did some stupid things before becoming a father, this time, our Pei family may be doomed!"

At this time, he remembered what Pei Qinghong said earlier, the dragon is above the phoenix, and his son is in the top position. He was quite happy before, but now that he thinks about it, which high-ranking person can allow his man to live in the top position? In this world, even if it is for his own reputation, Tai Shulan should destroy their Pei family, not to mention that the Pei family is a big tree, and the huge wealth created by the Ye family has always been coveted by the superiors The long-standing big fat.

He was afraid that that one would be annoyed, so he dealt with the emperor first, and then he would definitely deal with the Pei family.Unexpectedly, he did two wrong things because of his famous name, Pei Yanyi. One was that he got lost in the bridge of rebellion in the previous dynasty, and the other was that he agreed to Pei Qinghong and married Mr. Lan from the Lan family Come.

Seeing his worried look, Pei Qinghong was worried at first, but after hearing Pei Yan's explanation, he let go of his heart: "Father thinks too much, the emperor's affairs are not done by the emperor."

"Why are you so sure that he didn't do it?" If he remembered correctly, before his son left, he and Tai Shulan should have had a falling out.

Pei Qinghong could tell what his father was thinking just by looking at his expression. He shook his head and nodded again: "My son has made it clear to Mu Zhi, and he promised that as long as I don't get along with him for a day, our Pei family will It will not fall for a day. As for the matter of the emperor, the person who reported the letter arrived at the mansion almost as soon as the son came back. This shows that the emperor should have died before the emperor entered the palace, and you did not forget the report Did you just say that?"

Pei Yan asked suspiciously: "The reporter said besides that the emperor is gone, what else did he say?"

"Just now the reporter said that besides the emperor, Eunuch Xue of Xue Cheng who was serving by Taishu Yue's side is also gone."

"It's just an eunuch. His master is gone, so it's not surprising that his personal servant also died. It may also be that he was affected by the emperor, so he died."

However, Pei Qinghong shook his head: "Father only knows one thing, not the other. Xue Cheng is loyal to the emperor, is also the emperor's great companion, has a deep relationship with the emperor, and is deeply trusted by the emperor. So I think The emperor's death should have something to do with Xue Cheng. Xue Cheng was instigated by others to kill the emperor for some unavoidable reason, and because he was ashamed of his master, he committed suicide in fear of crime. This is what the son thinks, The truth about the disappearance of the emperor."

"Aren't you guessing!" Pei Qinghong said it logically, but in fact it was just a guess. Pei Yan sighed and continued, "You said earlier that the Supreme Emperor promised that you would not be separated from him for a day. Is it true that our Pei family can live without any worries?"

Pei Qinghong nodded: "The Supreme Emperor has no jokes, and the son has never lied to his father. This matter is naturally true."

Before Pei Yan could speak, he continued: "Although he promised, it doesn't mean that our Pei family can go on like this. What my son said earlier was not speculation. It was because he Show me a list. I was only skeptical before, but after reading the list, I can be sure that Xue Cheng is from the previous dynasty. My father didn't know that Qi Wang Tang Mingwei was bewitched by the remnants of the previous dynasty. That’s why he chose to rebel. And this Xue Cheng should have acted against the emperor because of the order from his superiors. He should have acted during the period when the Supreme Emperor was on the expedition, but thinking of his friendship with the emperor, Xue Cheng It has been dragged on until now."

This time it was Pei Qinghong's turn to sigh: "On that list, I also saw a person's name, who was also a nail buried by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and it was a hidden nail. It was his son I never thought that the nail would be that person!"

Pei Yan's hands trembled: "Needless to say, I know, that nail is your father and me, right!"

Pei Qinghong looked at him and nodded slowly.Seeing that his father's lips were trembling so much, he opened his mouth again: "Our Pei family has enjoyed all the glory and glory that should be enjoyed. There is nothing in this world that is more important than saving life. As my wife, Lan Min is Counted among father's three clans, the two of us are at odds, so father's life can naturally be saved, but I hope father can take the initiative to resign and leave the ruling and opposition parties, and mother, it is best to hand over her property for five years Four quarters are used to fill the national treasury. After all, the tree attracts the wind, if the matter of the Pei family is really exposed, the Pei family will not be left in the slightest."

Pei Yan finally calmed down a bit: "Will His Majesty agree to my resignation?"

"Your Majesty will definitely try to persuade you to stay again and again, but if your father is firm, he will naturally let you go." After leaving the court and the opposition, there will not be so many conflicts between right and wrong. The deeper you go, the harder it will be to get out.

"If you can go, you must go for your father. You can see this more clearly than your father. I will naturally talk to her about your mother. There is nothing more important than keeping our Pei family up and down. .”

Pei Yan patted Pei Qinghong's shoulder very relieved, and after he calmed down, he rushed to find Mrs. Ye again.The business broke up like Ye's, in fact, it was a matter of the increase and decrease of the account number. He knew very well that even if he handed over four-fifths, the Pei family would not be able to spend the remaining five cents in a few lifetimes. one.

As for himself, he wanted to resign a long time ago, but resigning is not so easy, and there are some rebellious former courts who are eyeing him. If he doesn't follow their two orders, he will definitely suffer a lot.With too many worries, he has been restless, thinking that if he stays in this position longer, he can seek benefits from other places, so that when he is really exposed, he may be able to find out from other channels. get help.

But with Pei Qinghong's words, his heart was at ease.His second son has always been the most worry-free for him, and now it is even more reassuring for him.Just do what you say, Pei Yan immediately started to discuss with Ye Shi how to transfer four-fifths of the wealth to the court. Seeing the situation, Pei Qinghong ordered his servants to bathe and boil water, and ordered the coachman to prepare a carriage for him .After changing his clothes, he will enter the palace to face the saint. Of course, this saint refers to the Supreme Emperor Shulan.
