Chapter 501 Yiqi Nine Clans
The old emperor said in a deep voice: "Luoyu, someone came to report today, and the governor of Jingzhao caught the rumor-monger again. The rumor-monger claimed that Saburo Pei was a woman. Luoyu, what do you think of this matter?"
Yan Luoyu was dumbfounded.
Someone slandered Pei Jiasanlang as a woman?
This news sounds absurd at first glance, but it is too strange after a little thought.
There are so many noble children in Kyoto, it is not good for others to spread rumors, why is it Pei Yi?
Moreover, there are so many ways to spread rumors, and so many ways to smear a person, why attack Pei Yi on the basis of gender?
This seemingly absurd attack method may contain an extremely terrifying truth in it.
Yan Luoyu suddenly had a certain guess in his heart.
In an instant, she thought a lot.
She thought of her marriage and her throne.
She seems to have found a convenient way to walk on the emperor's road.
The corners of Yan Luoyu's mouth turned up, and she said firmly: "Father, there is a reason for this."
The old emperor nodded calmly, and said in a deep voice: "I think so too."
Yan Luoyu was overjoyed, so the old emperor suspected that Pei Yi was a woman!
If Pei Yi is a woman, she has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!
This crime is so serious that not only Pei Yi, the culprit, will go to jail, but even the entire Pei family will be dragged into hell!
The Pei family, this prominent family of the Great Zhou, this existence that despises the royal family of the Great Zhou.
If she, Yan Luoyu, can get rid of the Pei family in such a legitimate way, which of the nobles in the capital would not dare to obey her?
Oh, no, from today on, her name should be Huo Luoyu.
She is already a royal daughter, she is His Majesty's own daughter, and her surname is Huo.
Yan Luoyu was very happy, she felt that a golden road was close at hand.
The old emperor saw every micro expression of Yan Luoyu.
He has always disliked ambitious women, but he treats Yan Luoyu differently.
This is Chongdao's daughter, even if she is ambitious, she is still very cute.
"Hey..." The old emperor suddenly sighed deeply.
This kind of melancholy is very inappropriate, and this sigh seems to contain some kind of regret.
Yan Luoyu is so keen when he understands people's emotions, so he asked nervously, "Why is Father so worried?"
The old emperor shook his head slowly, and sighed: "I shouldn't be kind to women back then."
These words were nonsensical, even if Yan Luoyu had a quick reaction, he couldn't understand what the old emperor was talking about at this moment.
Fortunately, the old emperor did not play tricks.
He immediately went on to say: "Back then, there was a folk song in Kyoto that the Pei family's heroine ruled the world."
"At that time, I was extremely suspicious that Pei Shu's family would give birth to a girl."
"I did indeed send someone to investigate the situation."
The old emperor paused at this point.
Yan Luoyu felt even more baffled.
After a while, the old emperor continued: "I sent the current King Huainan to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out the truth."
Yan Luoyu was greatly surprised.
Is it Pai’s Uncle Xiao?
She always knew that Uncle Xiao and Pei Shu were at odds. After all, she still remembered that when she was a child, she went to Xiao's house to play, and eight out of ten times she could hear Uncle Xiao scolding Pei Shu.
However, based on the bad relationship between Uncle Xiao and Pei Shu, if Uncle Xiao were to check whether Pei Sanlang is a woman, the result would definitely not go wrong.
With her Uncle Xiao's urgency to kill Pei Shu, I am afraid that even if Pei Sanlang is not a woman, Uncle Xiao will try to slander Pei Sanlang as a woman.
"I should actually let King Huainan go and investigate." The old emperor said regretfully, "Based on the feud between King Huainan and Pei Shu, Pei Shu is absolutely doomed. But..."
The old emperor sighed deeply again, and said slowly: "My heart was softened at that time."
Yan Luoyu was unexpected.
But she couldn't say anything bad, and immediately comforted her: "Your Majesty has a kind heart, how could he think that Pei Xiangguo is so cunning and cunning? Your Majesty doesn't need to blame himself for this. In fact, Pei Xiangguo should be ashamed."
The old emperor shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I don't feel sorry for Pei Shu, I just feel sorry for Chong Dao."
Back then, before Chongdao went out for the last time to suppress the nobles of the previous dynasty, he had personally entered the palace to meet him.
At that time, Chongdao was already in very bad health, but he knew that he was very likely to die on the battlefield this time.
Chongdao said to him: Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything in my life, but now I just want to ask you for one thing, please do it, Your Majesty.
Where do you ask for this?
is clearly an order.
How dare the old emperor answer.
However, Yan Chongdao immediately said: I only have one friend in my life, Pei Shu. No matter how much your Majesty can't stand others, please let Pei Shu live.
The old emperor did not want to respond to these words.
He doesn't want to promise something he can't deliver.
However, Yan Chongdao just looked at him like that, and said to him softly and forcefully: Your Majesty, I am going to the front line, and I am afraid that I will never have a chance to come back. In the future, who will guard His Majesty's huge country? Xun Xin is gone, and half of my body is buried in the ground. Could it be that I, the only general who can fight in Dazhou, will also be wiped out?
These words are like a slap in the face.
The old emperor only felt that he had just woken up from a dream.
Yes, the Great Zhou has just been established, surrounded by powerful enemies, if there is no one who can fight as a general, then the Great Zhou will be in danger.
However, Pei Shu has never been too obedient to discipline, and he is also a threat to Da Zhou.
However, Yan Chongdao said again: Your Majesty, if there is a day when Pei Shu has a heart of rebellion, I will support you to raz his nine clans even under the nine springs! But, before all this happens, I hope His Majesty will let him live.
Just such a call, the old emperor was quite moved at the time, and completely softened his mind.
Later, folk songs about the heroine of the world spread everywhere. The old emperor was really murderous at that time, otherwise he would not have specially sent King Huainan, who is the most hostile to the Pei family, to find out the truth.
But at the most critical moment, the old emperor relented. He remembered the phone call that Yan Chongdao told him thousands of times before his death.
He can't help it.
In order not to break his promise to Chongdao, he must let Pei Shu survive.
So, at that time, he issued three edicts in a row, called Huainan King back urgently, and lied to Huainan King that he had ordered someone to find out the truth, and there was no need for Huainan King to go to Pei's mansion to find out.
After listening to all the twists and turns of the year, Yan Luoyu was really stunned.
At this moment, she really didn't know whether to thank her for kissing me, or to blame her for kissing me.
If her father Yan Chongdao really wanted her to become the throne, then he shouldn't have protected Pei Shu!
If he didn't want her to become the throne, why did he let her take such a big advantage for nothing by relying on his status?
