The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

"Before Princess Chengyang died, she left several last words for Pei Xu." Yu Xiuyun's voice contained a hint of emotion and emotion, "Princess is tolerant, affectionate and righteous, and she even considered the future of her subordinates."

"She said that there are either nobles among the subordinates to rely on, or they are tactful and aware of current affairs, so they can vote for other masters. However, Yu Gongming and Shangguan Yue are stubborn and are probably unwilling to submit to others. They may be retaliated against in the future, so they asked Pei Xu to read In terms of the relationship between husband and wife, I would like to take care of you, and it would be great if you can get married."

"You also know what happened next. Pei Xu asked his father to surrender, and they ended up unhappy." Yu Xiuyun said in a calm voice, "But Pei Xu always remembered the princess's words. When you were a child, he sent a relative of the Pei family to the Yu family. .”

Yu Tingwan vaguely guessed what his brother was going to say. He was a little shocked and blurted out: "How is it possible? The Yu family was not like that at that time. How could the late king choose such a fiancée for him?"

"My father was also very surprised at the time. At first, he thought the person he was talking about was Pei Su or Pei Jing. In short, it couldn't be the eldest son of the Pei family who had just ascended the throne."

The smile on Yu Xiuyun's lips was a little complicated, and his voice was low and gentle, "I checked it out later, and the truth is very interesting, because the late king had the idea of ​​​​changing the heir apparent. At least, he wanted to give the fledgling heir one or two a beating. Choose you. , which not only fulfills the princess’s last words, but also reduces the prince’s power.”

When Yu Xiuyun learned about this for the first time, he thought his subordinates had made a mistake in their investigation.

After all, Pei Zhi was trained as the next head of the Pei family since he was a child. In terms of civil and military talents, he was more than a little bit better than other disciples. Pei Xu actually wanted to change his son.

Based on that bit of sporadic information, the reason Yu Xiuyun deduced was even more incredible. Pei Xu felt that the eldest son was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he might not treat his siblings well in the future.

It was simply ridiculous. Yu Xiuyun was in Jinling at that time, leaning on the desk and almost laughed out loud.

Pei Xu, the legitimate second son, held a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and allowed his eldest brother from his mother to die in the rebellion. He ran back to Chang'an to ask for help. When he heard that his eldest brother was dead, he burst into tears and even jumped into the fire. Although he was trying to atone his sins, everyone was still afraid that he would mourn too much, so they comforted him one after another.

The next year, he became the leader of the Pei family. With 500 people, he dared to break into the rebels and rescue the emperor. Because of his meritorious service in rescuing the emperor, he was appointed governor of Qingzhou.

Outside was the Dragon Slayer Guard. Naturally, Yu Xiuyun would not reveal the dirty things about the late king. He only felt that fratricide was in the Pei family's lineage.

His sister was not suitable to be the wife of the Pei family at all. At that time, Pei Xu's mother could still say to others without changing her face: "My brothers and brothers are respectful and inherit Confucianism. Ming Ze feels very guilty and treats his eldest brother, his widow and his youngest son favorably."

It would have been his sister who would have shed all her tears.

Yu Xiuyun coughed twice, "I'm afraid the late king could have predicted the temperament of the girl raised by the Yu family, so the clan member made a request. If the Yu family agrees, he will first send you to Chang'an and raise you in the palace of Prince Wei. Please ask grandma and female teacher to teach you."

"Father definitely disagrees."

"More than that, it can be said that he flatly refused and left no face to the late king. Before the clan member left, he also said that his father had no knowledge of good and evil."

Yu Xiuyun laughed and touched the hair of the woman next to him, "After that, Pei Zhi defeated the veteran general under the Fu family. The late king gave up the idea of ​​changing his son, so he naturally refused to mention any more marriage matters and immediately made an engagement with the Cui family."

"My parents never mentioned this." Yu Tingwan pursed her lips and said, her voice a little tight.

"Of course I won't mention it, just treat it as a whim of the late king. Your mother thought you would not be used to marrying into an ordinary family, let alone an emperor, general, or prime minister's family with your temperament when you were a child."

Yu Xiuyun's expression became gentler, as if he was thinking of something from the past, "I wonder how your female celebrity is doing now. The purse you made for me when I was young was too ugly. I wore it to school and was laughed at by my classmates for a long time."

"I pricked my finger several times, and my mother stopped letting me do needlework after that."

Hearing this, Yu Xiuyun laughed out loud, "Mother doesn't teach you these things very much. Back then, some people said that the daughter of Yu County Zun only learned some things that men learn, but didn't learn what women should know. I'm afraid she won't be able to get married in the future."

"That's what your classmate surnamed Li said." Yu Tingwan turned her head and smiled: "You beat him up, and if he says he won't marry, he won't marry. You can support me for the rest of my life."

"Wanwan still remembers it." The man in white was silent for a moment, "They all say that marrying King Wei is a good thing, but do you like King Wei?"

Stunned by the sudden question, Yu Tingwan was stunned for a long time, squeezed his brother's plain sleeves, and moved his lips.

"Brother, there are Dragon-Slaying Guards outside."

The ink in Yu Xiuyun's eyes gradually darkened, he swallowed the sentence "But there are always dragon-slaying guards outside", only said "I understand", and planned to leave.

Before getting out of the car, he suddenly pointed to the side of his neck, lowered his eyes and said, "Let the maid cover it with makeup."

After Pei Zhi sent Yu Tingwan away, he did not return to the Wei Palace, but went to the palace to attend the morning court.

Seeing that King Wei's face was uglier than usual, all the officials speculated that someone had touched his bad luck.

Chen Du thought about it in his heart and made sure that he had done nothing wrong in his recent errands. When he went to court, he rushed forward and asked: "My lord is in a bad mood, but there is a problem with taxation this year. I have long thought that the great minister must be replaced." Well, the Taicang Order and Heping Order under him are all members of the Wang family, it’s really outrageous.”

Chen Du knew that King Wei didn't like it when he asked him directly, and he kept talking endlessly.

"Or is Marquis Pingyang asking for leave, and my lord feels that he is slacking off?" Chen Du paused, remembering that Marquis Pingyang was the princess's brother, and added: "Although Marquis Pingyang took leave for a long time, the first start of the course is scheduled for the end of the year and next year. Spring, don’t delay, don’t delay…”

Pei Zhi felt the pain in his heart becoming more and more obvious. Hearing Chen Du's nonsense, his eyes felt cold.

"There is nothing wrong, so there is no need to make wild guesses."

After saying that, Pei Zhi left, his back still upright and calm, no different from before. It wasn't until he got on the carriage that he couldn't help but frown.

It's just simple pain, nothing intolerable.

When he was discussing matters with his subordinates in the study in the afternoon, a man dressed in purple was sitting at the top with a gentle expression. He occasionally spoke and spoke slowly, as if he was sure of winning at any time.

His appearance made his subordinates feel at ease. They ignored that his lips were paler than usual today. Only after taking a sip of hot tea, the water vapor forced out a faint blood color on his lips.

Acacia does not really kick in until late at night. During the day, it is just a pain in the heart, but at night it is not just that. The person who has eaten the poison can feel hot and cold all over the body. This is a fatal thing on the grassland.

Pei Zhi mobilized a lot of dragon-slaying guards to guard outside Guanju Courtyard to guard against the assassins. When he lay down, he held the hilt of his sword tightly in his hand.

He usually slept on the outside of the bed. He closed his eyes in the middle of the night, but he couldn't fall asleep. He seemed to be in pain all over his body. Sometimes he was in the middle of winter, and sometimes he felt like he was under the scorching sun.

At three o'clock in the morning, the man on the bed suddenly stood up. It was already autumn, but his pajamas were soaked with sweat. His pale cheeks were as red as if he was drunk, and he seemed to be extremely hot.

Pei Zhi called the maid in, his voice a little hoarse, "Bring me Gu's cloak."

The servant was a little strange. He had just ordered someone to bring in a few basins of ice, but Pei Zhi's face was so ugly that no one dared to hesitate.
