Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 85
“Yifei is saying that there is a change in the border of Suizhou?” Liu Baixiang asked.
“Last winter, when the Jiejie throne was changed, the royal family deliberately pretended to be bandits and attacked the border of Suizhou in order to provoke the war.
“If it weren’t for Suizhou Wei’s discovery that something was wrong, he would oppose the general and leave Jie Jie speechless. It’s hard to say what the state of the border is now.” Pei Yunxiao said.
“Although this matter is over, your Majesty and King Jiejie have reached a friendship on the surface, but from another angle, Jiejie really can’t sit still.”
“Master Liu Feng was originally a military commander, but due to various reasons, he has not been involved in military affairs for many years. But this time, His Majesty has not negotiated in court, and without Hanlin and Zhongshu, he directly issued an order to transfer Master Liu to Suizhou. It can be seen that It is also necessary to prepare for the challenge.” Pei Yunxiao analyzed.
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows: “That said, if your majesty knew that the horse that was supposed to be raised for the court, he quietly ran to Ma Chong’s private racecourse… The reason for this is intriguing…”
“In this way, even if Ma Chong has three heads and six arms, don’t try to escape!” Hua Ziyu clasped his hands together, exclaiming in his heart.
“But…” Pei Xian thought further: “The Ma Chong enclosing case, the reason why the trouble is so big, is basically because the He family took the opportunity to get into trouble.”
“In addition, Ma Chong is the grand prince’s uncle. After weighing it, Your Majesty will just make a painless punishment to avoid that one party is particularly weak and affect the court situation.”
“That…” Pei Yunxiao thought: “Then let your majesty see that after discipline Ma Chong, the He family won’t get any benefits.”
“What do you say?”
Pei Yunxiao looked at Hua Ziyu: “Everyone is human, so the He family can’t make mistakes?”
“Just find a few cases committed by the He family, and let your majesty take this opportunity to beat them again. Your majesty feels that he has found a balance, and he will not look forward and backward when dealing with them.”
Hua Ziyu nodded: “Don’t mention it, from the local prefectures and counties, to Jingzhaofu, Dali Temple, and then to our Criminal Ministry, it is really easy to find fault with his family. When I go back, I will go to see Yu Qin Yu. history.”
“It’s just a pity that good land.” Yang Jian sighed and shook his head.
“Fertile land, abundant water sources, and crops that can be harvested at a glance… Now that grass grows, horses run, and how many ditches and streams are consumed. Even if they are re-cultivated and cultivated, how many years will it take to return to their original state? Woolen cloth……”
Pei Yunxiao sighed: “For his own selfish desires, it is against the way of heaven and earth. Those who make mistakes can be punished and killed, but the things that are destroyed by this will have to be paid by innocent people, and even future generations.
In the previous dynasties, aristocratic families were allowed to occupy fertile fields for enjoyment. When the dynasty fell, the granaries of the various houses in the world were completely empty. This may be God’s punishment for ignoring the laws and regulations of the world! “
“Those who don’t plan for the long term are not enough to plan for the present.”
After returning from the manor in the suburbs of Beijing, the court soon set off another round of crusade against Ma Chong. Only this time, when Border Pass and Nei Dynasty were placed in front of him at the same time, the emperor’s choice was obvious.
Soon after, the emperor ordered the book to make a thorough investigation of Ma Chong’s enclosure of horses.
But no one thought that this matter was far from over.
“My son, something has happened!” Jinnian hurriedly rushed into the study, completely lost his former calmness.
“What’s the matter?” Pei Yunxiao’s heart was stunned.
Jinnian raised the secret letter in his hand: “The eldest prince fell from a horse at the Luozhou Racecourse and died!”
“What?” Pei Yunxiao jumped up from the chair, lost in shock, and snatched the secret letter.
This was sent by Pei’s secret information network.
Just a few days ago, they had just sent news about the grand prince going out of Beijing to Luozhou for his mother’s uncle’s horse farm. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, people would die!
Part of the news network in Pei’s secret place is in the hands of Pei Yunxiao, and the other part is still in the hands of Pei Ling.
At this time, presumably grandfather also received the news.
“Seventh son.” Sure enough, there was a knock on the door: “Patriarch has something important, please go to Zhaoyutang as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I’m going now!” Pei Yunxiao asked Jinnian to go back first, and he went out quickly.
In Zhaoyu Hall, Pei’s family gathered together again.
This time, gloom and worry are written on everyone’s face.
When the eldest prince died, the situation between North Korea and China reversed instantly.
Several grown-up princes, the power of the mother’s family is not as good as that of the Ma family. And behind the little prince stood He’s family, who was a lean camel and was bigger than a horse. It’s really hard to tell who the future prince will be.
But the Pei family is incompatible with the He family.
“Father, the death of the eldest prince is strange, I think it may be the good thing done by the He family!” Master Pei San cursed.
“It’s weird to say that the empress dowager was so resentful of Concubine He back then, why did she end up on her side? Which of these princes can’t be chosen? Must choose the youngest.”
“I’m afraid that the key lies in the youngest one.” Master Pei Er mocked: “The grown-up child, isn’t it difficult to control it!”
“Father, the prince fell from a horse and died. His Majesty will definitely investigate thoroughly. By then, no matter it is the He family or the Zhao family, they will have to be infected with fishy. We can just take this opportunity to fight back fiercely!”
It was at this time that several talents were somewhat fortunate that Pei Ling had been pressing on the Pei clan members and never allowed to be involved in the royal family. Otherwise, Pei can’t watch the fire from the other side and gloat at this time.
Seeing that Pei Hong’s complexion was not very good, Pei Nao stopped the two younger brothers with his eyes, and then said, “Father, do you have any other ideas?”
Pei Ling nodded: “At this juncture, the eldest prince has an accident, and the He family must be the first suspect. The old man of the He family has not been able to cover the sky in the court, and he should not be so stupid.”
“Although the eldest prince has grown up, his majesty has never let go of letting him participate in government affairs. What is the urgency of the Ho family? What is the imperial concubine’s urgency?”
Pei Yunxiao nodded secretly from the side. This is actually something she can’t figure out.
Your Majesty is in good health now, so how can Chaozhong be so indisputable to seize his concubine? Ma Chong is about to be dismissed and investigated, the He family is crazy and dare to mutilate the emperor’s heir!
She tried to recall the description of the eldest prince in the original book, but unfortunately nothing was achieved.
The fate of the eldest prince has little to do with the leading actor Tang Hang, so the book only mentions that after the only son of Concubine Ma Xian was gone, she was kept in claustrophobia because of her insanity, and she didn’t say much about anything else.
Such an unimportant cannon fodder role, even Pei Yunxiao just remembered that there was such a thing.
“Xiao Qi, what do you think?” Seeing Pei Yunxiao’s brows furrowed, Pei Ling asked her aloud, thinking she had no idea.
In a word, the eyes of the six sons of the Pei family in the seat flashed with anger.
Pei Yunxiao just pretended not to see it, and said in a deep voice: “Grandfather, I mean, let’s just wait and see what happens. This matter is a bit weird. We don’t want to take the initiative to do anything before we figure it out.”
Pei Ling thought so too, and immediately agreed.
But on the other side, Pei Yuntuo said dissatisfiedly: “Old Qi, why are you suddenly counseled at this time? When playing Ma Chong, don’t you count the highest jumps between you and Pei Xian!”
This is a bit exaggerated, but Pei Yunxiao understands what he means.
Before the emperor made an order to deal with, he summoned her and Pei Xian. Although the reason was more because one of them was in Zhongshu and the other was in Hanlin, they were not the only ones who had been summoned at the same time.
But regarding Ma Chong, the Pei family’s overall position is that as long as the He family is unhappy, the Pei family can be happy. In other words, they will not help Ma Chong, but they will not step on Ma Chong. Instead, they hope the two families fight harder the better.
In this way, even if Pei Yunxiao and Pei Xian were justified, they would be unjust from the standpoint of the Pei family.
This is why Pei Yuntuo dared to clamor openly in Zhaoyutang.
As soon as Pei Yuntuo’s voice fell, he sat next to Master Pei San, feeling that he was an outsider, and Pei Xian, who had been trying to reduce his sense of existence, almost couldn’t hide the contempt in his eyes.
According to seniority, he and the three elders of the Pei family are the same generation, and Pei Yuntuo has to call him a clan uncle. This is the sin of disrespect for the elders, and Pei Yuntuo first betrayed it.
Listen to what he said… Pei Xian couldn’t help but slander. The three brothers of my own have no problem looking at them. How come the sons born out of one are more than one…
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Qi is really an alternative.
This time, without waiting for Pei Wei to say anything, Master Pei Er took the lead to speak: “Lao Liu, how do you talk? Quickly give your uncle apologize!”
Pei Yuntuo was struggling with his neck and didn’t want to bow his head. Master Pei Er was afraid that he would anger Pei Ling, and was about to train again, but saw Lin Rui hurried in, still holding a letter box in his hand.
In everyone’s hearts, it can’t help but mention it again.
“What’s the matter?” Pei Ling’s eyes darkened.
Standing in the hall, Lin Ruichui made everyone hear clearly every word: “Ma Chong suffered a blow to the secret letter from Luozhou. , I’m sorry for the concubine Xian, for fear of guilt and suicide.”
“Besides, Ma Chong killed all the horsemen who were training horses because of the fall of the great prince. He wanted to deal with the horses, but he didn’t know how to let the horses run. Now the memorial to the governor of Luozhou should have been delivered. Capital, Your Majesty will know soon.”
In Zhaoyutang, the atmosphere condensed momentarily.
Ma Chong died, Ma Hao was killed, and the horse ran away. Your Majesty hasn’t said how to deal with it, the arrangements have been made clear over there.
This time is great, not only the case of raising horses in enclosures will not be solved, and even the case of the death of the emperor’s heir can not be found out!
Pei Ling’s face was gloomy and terrifying, and it took him a long time to say: “During this period, let everyone under your hands be careful, don’t say anything, don’t do it!”
Now, no one dared to say anything.
After leaving Zhaoyutang, Pei Yunxiao and Pei Xian ran a long way, avoiding the others.
“Little Qi, can you figure out why this is?” Pei Xian was puzzled.
Isn’t it just a land enclosure case? How did it develop to the point it is today?
Pei Yunxiao didn’t have any tricks either.
“The death of the prince prince is destined to find nothing. But your majesty wants to calm the anger in his heart, and he must be operated on by the He family. But this matter is not worthy of the Pei family’s pleasure.”
“Now, it’s the mountain rain and the wind is all over the building.”
