Chapter 169: Confession

"Lord Xia, are you going back to Jiangxi?" , Peng Yue sat in the hall, and his mood was also a little low, "Maybe things will take a turn for the better..."

"Turnaround?" , Xia Yan's face was gloomy, and he didn't even raise his eyelids, "Haven't you heard of the emperor's will?" The military is a major matter, and the private family is cut off, Wang Yan wants to be secret, and it is regarded as a play... Having said that, do you think I still have room to redeem? ”

Peng Yue listened, raised his head to look at Xia Yan, and was silent, he also knew that Zhu Houxi was really angry this time, and his determination to depose Xia Yan was very firm, and it was not something that others could persuade at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info What's more, there is also Yan Song adding firewood to the fire, and Peng Yue doesn't dare to touch Zhu Houxi's moldy head.

"Lord Xia, you did nothing wrong in this matter, even if you suffer because of this, the officials will be grateful to you...", Peng Yue saw that Xia Yan's expression was getting more and more depressed, so he comforted him on the side.

"Yes, I did nothing wrong, but I just suffered because of this, but I couldn't change the emperor's mind...", Xia Yan sighed, and the unconcealable sadness on his face spread again, "There is no financial support for the war in the northwest, even Zhai Peng was deposed, poor border generals in the northwest, this time it is inevitable that they will suffer from the disaster of the military rebellion..."

"Lord Xia is worried about the country and the people, it is really admirable, please rest assured here, Lord Xia, I will definitely do my best to ensure that the overall situation in the northwest is not chaotic!" , Xia Yan's words naturally caused stirring in Peng Yue's chest.

"What, are you going to change your career to become a general?" , Xia Yan couldn't help but make fun of Peng Yue when he saw Peng Yue's serious look, but he couldn't laugh on his face.

"Look at me like this. Where do I become a general? Peng Yue scratched his head embarrassedly. But I do know how to exercise more now, and I usually ride horses. Running or something..."

"It's okay, as long as the body is strong, then there is no problem, don't go to the battlefield and can't even pull the bow...", Xia Yan said, and looked Peng Yue up and down, "Don't say it, I usually don't pay attention to it, but now I take a closer look." You're a lot stronger than you were a few years ago. ”

"That's it!" , Peng Yue proudly straightened his chest, "Don't hide it from Lord Xia, since the last time there was a border riot in the northwest, I have left a thought, usually when I am bored, I will flip through the military book, and sometimes I still set aside time for boxing!" ”

"Exercising is very important, but reading the military book is the most important thing...", Xia Yan tapped his fingers on the table. put on a preachy appearance again, "In troubled times, military generals are heavy, but now in this world, in small-scale side affairs." It is Wenchen who can play a role, you look at Zhai Peng, and the Zeng Mill you recommended last time. Which one is not from Wenchen? Of course, you can't ignore the role of military generals. The distinction between generals and commanders is not so obvious. It's just that when you fight, whether you use your strength or your brain..."

"What Master Xia said, Zi Rui must keep it in mind...", Peng Yue heard Xia Yan say that, and he also felt quite reasonable, and couldn't help but have the idea of going back and flipping through the military book more, what if one day it really came in handy?

"But then again, Zirui, do you really have anything to do about the current situation?"

"Uh... I'm figuring it out, it's just... It's just that the emperor has just made up his mind at this time, and he needs to say it slowly...", Peng Yue's face turned red, and he looked slightly embarrassed. What I said just now is quite energetic, but when it comes to the topic, there is still no specific way.

"Yes, it's time to take it slowly, it's time to protect yourself, don't follow in my footsteps...", Xia Yan sighed, and he didn't know if he had remorse in his heart.

"Lord Xia, now that Lord Zhai has been deposed, there is not necessarily an incompetent person to take over... I plan to ask the emperor to succeed Zhai Peng and supervise Shanxi's military affairs, and I believe he will be able to do it..."

"Ever milled? Well... It's a good minister, but... The emperor has already issued an order for Huang Jizu to be reinstated...", Xia Yan said, and began to ponder in his heart, "In fact, there are still a lot of capable generals in the northwest, but the most important thing is a person who is unified scheduling, Huang Jizu's ability is not strong, let him defend Datong Town, I am not at ease..."

"Let's act when I see the opportunity, maybe I can learn a long lesson by suffering a loss, and then I will play it to the emperor again, maybe it will have an effect...", when Peng Yue said this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Suffer a loss? Hehe... I hope you don't have to pay too much price...", Xia Yan said with a wry smile.

"By the way, Zirui, you must be careful of Yan Song, he is too dangerous...", Xia Yan seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly raised his hand to explain to Peng Yue, "I was deposed by the emperor this time, most likely because of him..."

"Lord Xia, I've always been very careful of his...", Peng Yue was a little speechless about Xia Yan's parting admonition, "Yan Song seems to be loyal, but in fact he is cunning, but in the end he still let him gain power." ”

"Yes, you summed it up too well, you seem to be loyal, but in fact you are cunning!" , Xia Yan frowned, and his tone was also a little angry, "He has always been respectful to me before, and even last time I was deliberately absent, he didn't complain, originally I thought he had reined in his thoughts, but I didn't expect... Alas..."

"Lurking in the dark, a fatal blow, this kind of person is the most terrifying...", in fact, when it comes to the degree of understanding of Yan Song, Peng Yue's self-confidence is stronger than Xia Yan.

"Yes, I was too careless, and I was taken advantage of by the villain!" , Xia Yan sighed and said, quite a posture of beating his chest.

"Lord Xia, lamenting is useless, I just hope that you can teach a long lesson, and you will not be taken by villains in the future..."

"In the future? Do I still have a chance? Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue, and there was a bit of self-deprecation in his words.

"What? Isn't Lord Xia confident in recovering again? The corners of Peng Yue's mouth rose, and his tone became lighter, "Don't worry, Lord Xia, the emperor will eventually summon you back, it's just a matter of time, and I will definitely do my best in the court." ”

"Hmm... I will do my best myself, and I will not sever the connection with the DPRK...", Xia Yan took a sip of tea, but his brows never relaxed, as if he was thinking about what to do after he went into the wilderness.

"By the way, Zirui, I almost forgot!" , Xia Yan slapped his head and hurriedly put down the teacup, "Zirui, Yan Song has already married you, isn't he?" ”

"Uh... Yes...", Peng Yue replied hesitantly, but he wondered why Xia Yan would ask such a question, "Lord Xia, didn't you only know about this matter now?" ”

"No, haha...", Xia Yan naturally heard the ridicule in Peng Yue's words, "I just remembered this..."

"Lord Xia, you really don't have to worry about this matter, if you still don't believe it, I can assure you again that I won't stand on Yan Song's side just because I married Yan Song's daughter..."

"Zirui, you misunderstood me!" , Xia Yan smiled at Peng Yue, but there was some embarrassment in his smile, "I mean Yan Song will marry his daughter to you, this is not an opportunity..."

"What does Lord Xia mean..."

"I mean you can take advantage of this opportunity...", Xia Yan's expression at this time was a lot more relaxed, and even his mood seemed to be happy, "Since Yan Song married his daughter to you, then he will give you an trust that is different from ordinary people, if you can grasp this trust, you will naturally get an easier opportunity to hit Yan Song..."

"That's it...", Peng Yue listened to Xia Yan's words, and also smiled with relief, "I have also considered this, those who become big things are not informal, if Yan Song really trusts me, I can use it as an opportunity to bring him down." ”

"It's best this way, I've always worried that you're soft-hearted... Don't learn from me, because for a moment of soft-heartedness, in order to cause today's disaster, mercy to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to yourself! Xia Yan said with a lot of insight.

"Well, I wrote it down...", Peng Yue replied in a low voice, but he wondered how to deal with this complicated relationship and how he would use it.

"By the way, you have to pay more attention to his daughter...", Xia Yan twisted his fingers and paused again, "If his daughter is too smart, you should also be careful, if his daughter is not sensitive to these things, you can take advantage of it..."

"Uh... Yan Song's daughter...", Peng Yue heard Xia Yan mention this, but his brows furrowed slightly, Xia Yan was right, if he said it like this, Yan Mengyun was really worth using himself, but...

But when he thought of Yan Mengyun's innocent eyes, Peng Yue really couldn't bear it, and wanted to use her to harm her own father? Although it was not her biological father, he raised her for so many years. For a while, Peng Yue's heart was a little confused...

"Zirui, what's the matter? Is there any difficulty? Xia Yan turned his head sideways and looked at Peng Yue, "Could it be that Yan Song's daughter is smart by nature and is not easy to deal with?" ”

"It's not easy to deal with...", hearing Xia Yan say this, Peng Yue almost squirted out a mouthful of tea. With his wife, how can he say anything about the problem of not dealing with it, and he is not an enemy...

However, in Xia Yan's eyes, he may not really regard Yan Mengyun as his wife, at least his first impression of Yan Mengyun will definitely be Yan Song's daughter. Originally, the ancients had no opinion on love in marriage, not to mention that the relationship between himself and Yan Mengyun was indeed a naked political marriage.

"No... I was just thinking... I'm thinking about how to deal with it...", Peng Yue replied with some hesitation.

"Oh... That's it...", Xia Yan didn't care much about Peng Yue's hesitant look, "In short, you have to protect yourself first, but if you think that Yan Song is married to you, he shouldn't take the initiative to poison you..."

"But if you want a fatal blow, if you are not sure, then lurk and do not move...", Xia Yan was still immersed in his own strategy at this time, "If it really doesn't work, then save your strength, and if I can return to the dynasty one day, let's deal with him together!" ”

"Hmm... That's what I'm going to do, I just hope that Lord Xia can return to the court as soon as possible..."

"Return to the DPRK as soon as possible... Why don't I want to...", Xia Yan smiled bitterly and sighed faintly, "Oh... By the way, I followed your advice two days ago, and I have already asked for Xu Jie's transfer to the Ministry of Officials, but at this moment, I am afraid that it will affect him..."

"Really?" , Peng Yue heard Xia Yan say this, but he only had a wry smile, it is really not as good as heaven, "In this way, Xu Jie will delay a little before he can enter the ministry..." )
