Chapter 197: The house leak happened to rain overnight
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
Meng Si'an, as the biological son of his favorite concubine Jiaoyu, has basically never seen his father Zheng Guogong angry since he was a child.
Although after Jiaoyu left, he quickly faded from his childishness in all kinds of discussions, and his once simple feelings of admiration were also mixed with some indescribable feelings, but for a noble son who was only twelve years old, his biological father, Zheng Guogong, is still his biggest reliance so far.
He never imagined that he would one day be punched and kicked by this father himself.
At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was carried to the court for trial, and the whole person was a little sluggish.
Zheng Guogong, who was at the top of the house, saw it, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, how to say that he was also his own flesh and blood held in the palm of his hand for eleven years, to say that he was not distressed at all when he saw his originally lively and clever little son become what he is now, it is a lie.
It's just that thinking of this son's disappointment to himself, he can't help but be a little angry: to be honest, if the initiators found out today are Meng Boheng and Queen Meng, Zheng Guogong will not be too sad even if he is angry.
After all, he knew in his heart that he really didn't care much about and loved the children born in the steproom, and he was really a bit harsh. Therefore, Meng Boheng betrayed and retaliated against Empress Meng, he would be angry, but he would not have the feeling of being stabbed in the heart.
But Meng Si'an, although this is a concubine, no matter the degree of attention, treatment or arrangements for the future...... Zheng Guogong admits that he is not sorry for him at all!
Why is this son doing such a thing?
"Si'an, you are still young, even if you do something wrong, as long as you are willing to correct it, whether it is your father or those of us who are uncles, there is no one who will not forgive you. Seeing this, Wu Anhou next to him thought that he was speechless, coughed dryly, and said on his behalf, "The key now is that if we don't make this matter clear, once our family's response goes wrong, the He clan will not end well! At that time, how can you survive as a child?
When Meng Si'an heard this, he trembled, and shrank back a little timidly, without saying a word.
Wu Anhou waited for a while, and when he saw that he was silent, he had to continue to ask, "Who taught you to do those things?"
“…… No one taught. Meng Si'an was silent, just when Wu Anhou couldn't hold up his loving uncle's shelf, he opened his mouth in a low voice, if it weren't for the silence in the hall at this moment, no one would be able to hear it, and said, "I did it myself." ”
"You?" Wu Anhou frowned when he heard this, and then he resisted the urge to have a seizure and said, "How old are you? How can you deceive your fifth brother-in-law?!" Not to mention, what is the matter with the seal letter in your fifth brother-in-law's hand?!"
Meng Si'an first looked at Zheng Guogong before continuing: "It's easy to deceive the fifth brother-in-law, I stole a famous post from my father's study, and while my father was not paying attention, I stamped my father's private seal, and let the old servant go to Jiangnan, and ordered it in the name of my father...... The fifth brother-in-law figured out the identity of the old servant and the authenticity of the private seal, so he believed it, because it was a confidential matter of great importance, and he didn't dare to verify it with his father and second uncle. Even when leaving Jiangnan, he will try to hide his whereabouts, so that his father and second uncle don't know anything!"
"Your father's name card and private seal, you can steal it, and it can be said that it is the first month near the water. When the Marquis of Chengyang heard this, he was suspicious, "What about the old servant? Who did you send? Could it be that the chief steward of the Guogong Mansion didn't notice it at all?"
Zheng Guogong also thought so, and looked at the chief steward standing next to him with doubtful eyes: "Have any servants been to Jiangnan during this time?"
The chief steward's face was solemn, and he thought seriously for a while before he said, "There are people who went to buy the things needed in the mansion, but those people shouldn't do such a thing for the tenth prince." ”
He added, "Originally, the people who went to Jiangnan to buy were all old people arranged by Aunt Jiaoyu, but after Aunt Jiaoyu went, Mrs. changed all the staff. Many of the new ones were bought from outside, and the deeds were all in the hands of the lady, so there was no reason to hide it from the tenth prince. ”
"The people of the Xiang clan, it's good if you don't harm me, how can I get them?" Meng Si'an said, "I use the people left by my mother, they were all old people who have been in the Guogong Mansion for more than ten or twenty years, just because it was my mother who was in charge of the house before, after my mother went, my wife drove them all out without asking!"
"One of them had his parents sick in the couch, and without this errand, he would not have been able to live, and he knelt down in front of his wife and begged bitterly, but he did not receive mercy!"
Later, one of his parents was dying, and he couldn't afford to buy a ginseng in the medicine prescribed by the doctor, so he bribed the porter to send me a message in the hope of what happened. I couldn't bear it, so I picked the smallest ginseng from what my father rewarded me and gave it to him, and he left with a thousand thanks, and when he left, he said that he was willing to go to the soup for me. ”
"Originally, I thought that although my mother was gone, my father loved me more, and I didn't have anything to do with him. ”
"But the other day...... The other day Madame she ...... Of course, my father has always been on my side, but my wife is my mother-in-law, and I always ask my father to punish my wife for me, not to mention the rest, just the face of the queen's sister in the palace, but where to put it?"
"I don't want to sue my father again, so that my father has to worry about me after a busy day's affairs, and I don't want to be disgusted by my wife all the time...... I just thought...... I just want to do something to come out, not only to share my father's worries, but also to make my wife dare not underestimate me, and then I think she shouldn't target me anymore?"
"So I thought of that person, stole my father's name card and seal letter, took away some of the jewelry left by my mother, made him a coil, and told him to go to Jiangnan to find the fifth brother-in-law......"
Speaking of this, he choked up, "I didn't expect that the family would betray us, thinking that even if Ruru couldn't kill the princess of Mizhen County, she would be able to wreak havoc in the western Xinjiang, so it would always make trouble for Mizhen, and it would be beneficial to our Meng family! Daddy, as the second uncle said, I am the heir of the Meng family, and I am your own flesh and blood, and the Meng family is both prosperous and loss, if the Meng family is not good, what good will it do me?! Besides, since I was a child, you have always loved me, I just think who is bad, how can I want to deliberately make you angry? I really just want to share your worries!"
"......" Zheng Guogong and the three of them looked like water, exchanging glances with each other.
After a while, Wu Anhou looked at the brothers on the left and right, and spoke on his behalf again: "Since you have the intention to share our worries, why don't you greet us before doing such a big thing? !
Also, "Why did you choose to deceive Gao Jiyi to go to the Western Xinjiang to preside over this matter?
Speaking of the last sentence, Wu Anhou's tone revealed a clear displeasure: Gao Eryi is not only the host of the Meng family's money bag, but also the husband of his favorite daughter!
Although Wu Anhou definitely didn't care about his own flesh and blood for this son-in-law, but he was so confused that his nephew died in the western Xinjiang with a nephew who knows if there was something wrong with his brain, how could he not be angry in his heart? !
"I'm too young. Meng Si'an pondered for a while on this question before he said timidly, "If such a big thing happens, whether it's my father or my two uncles, if I knew about it, I would definitely not let me do it! In this case, I just make a suggestion, not to mention whether it can be passed, and even if I can, I am not alone, so how can I show my ability? If I can't show my ability, how can I get everyone's attention?"
As for the consideration of failure in advance, "So I didn't come forward myself, but deceived my fifth brother-in-law to go to Western Xinjiang." In this way, once something happens, the fire will not burn directly on our Meng head. ”
"The reason why I chose the Gao family is not because I have any opinions on the Gao family, but because of two reasons: one is that there are only a limited number of people I can trust and transfer, and at that time, he was the only one who was in charge of Jiangnan procurement, and the only one who had a close relationship with our Meng family and could be entrusted with such a big event was the Gao family;"
"The second is because of Cheng Xuan's nephew. I really didn't expect things to fail so simply, I thought that there was at least an eighty percent chance of success, and even if it didn't succeed, it would be unharmed in the overall situation!
This explanation didn't convince Wu Anhou, and he said with a cold face: "If you really want to do it for the good of Cheng Xuan, why don't you make it clear to the Gao family, but swagger and deceive under the banner of your father?"
Meng Si'an didn't answer and asked: "Second uncle, if it weren't for the evidence you found, would you believe that I could plan such a thing?"
Wu Anhou was speechless, that's right, if it weren't for the ironclad evidence, they couldn't believe that Meng Si'an, who had not even taken a step out of the Guogong Mansion during this time, had quietly planned such a major event as colluding with foreign clans thousands of miles away!
So if Meng Si'an made it clear to the Gao family from the beginning, this was not what Zheng Guogong meant, and even Zheng Guogong didn't know at all, it was just his personal thoughts...... The Gao family will listen to him if he is stupid!
Ten out of ten is to report to Wu Anhou and Zheng Guogong!
And Zheng Guogong and Wu Anhou, will they fulfill him?
Impossible!
He's too small.
As Meng Si'an himself said, even if he adopts his suggestion, at most praise him for a few clever words, the execution must be someone else!
"You haven't said how do you know the situation in Western Xinjiang?" the hall was silent for a moment, and Cheng Yanghou reminded, "And how did you contact Shangruru?
"......" Meng Si'an pondered for a while about this question, and in the middle, Zheng Guogong wanted to have a seizure several times, but was stopped by Wu Anhou and Chengyanghou in a low persuasion, and after a long time, he said in a hurry, "I am from ...... I learned from the sixth brother!"
"Meng Guiyu?!" Zheng Guogong and the three of them changed color, "Fool! I'm afraid that you fell into his calculations and didn't know it, right?!"
Wu Anhou was especially angry: "I said that it's not good for you to find someone to be the scapegoat, why are you looking for my son-in-law?! It must be because Cheng Xuan was ignorant when he came to Chang'an, and he was contemptuous of Meng Guiyu in and out of his words, and that kid held a grudge against him, and at this time he thought you were strategizing, and calculated to let Gao Jiyi go to Xijiang to die!!
It's a shame that he thought just now that although Meng Si'an had messed up this time, his intentions were not good, but the starting point was more reliable than the twenty-five-year-old Meng Jiaqian, especially at the age of twelve, he could have such a scheming, and he would be able to become the mainstay of the Meng clan one day!
That's why he stopped Zheng Guogong and listened to Meng Si'an's answer.
The result?
Although Meng Si'an only said that he heard some news from Meng Guiyu, Wu Anhou used this subtle means to trap others in his early years, how could he not know what was going on?
After all, Meng Guiyu was hiding behind the scenes and leading everything, but he still made Meng Si'an think that the whole thing was his own idea!!
Zheng Guo angrily flipped the table, pointed at Meng Si'an and scolded: "How could Lao Tzu give birth to a fool like you who doesn't have a brain?!"
Thinking of Meng Jiaqian, who was in Lu Shiyu's department, he was also his own grandson, and the degree of cheating was even worse than Meng Si'an, and he almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot, and said in a trembling voice, "What kind of sin did the ancestors of the Meng family do, there will be unfilial descendants like you?!"
Probably the house leak happened to rain overnight, Zheng Guocheng was trembling by his son and grandson, and at this time someone came to report bad news: "Your Majesty's message was passed in the palace, and it was Your Majesty who heard that King Guangling was happy to have a dragon and phoenix fetus, and he was very happy, and asked King Guangling to immediately bring two little princes and little princesses who had just landed into the palace to meet him!"
