CHAPTER XXIX
Meng Guihan originally admitted his mistake with a guilty face, but when he heard this, his face changed!
"Sure enough, someone is doing a ghost behind the scenes?!" Meng Guiyu noticed, his eyes were even more angry, and he shouted, "Who did it?!"
"Yes...... It's Mother Qian!" Meng Guihan quickly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "She...... She often persuaded us in private that it was serious for us to get married quickly, and she said with emotion, saying that if my father and mother were still there, at our brother's age, the child would run away in fear of dissatisfaction......! I also felt very unhappy about what happened to the sixth brother in the past, so I casually told her some past events, and then ...... Then Mother Qian said that the Xiang family was greedy and unscrupulous, and it was not difficult to deal with, and with the Sheng family's favor for the county lord of Kangzhao, it was impossible to marry the county lord of Kangzhao to someone like Meng Boheng!"
"It's Yichun Hou, didn't the Sheng family be moved before?"
"If it weren't for Tu Ruchuan to match them, the Queen Mother would have intentionally matched the sixth brother with the county lord of Kangzhao at that time!"
"If Mizhen didn't have the marriage brought by the county lord of Kangzhao and the financial support of the three families of Nanfeng County, how could it have developed to the current momentum in just a few years?!"
"If there was no secret chastity, the world would have been ours a long time ago!"
"I ...... I thought that Qian's mother was an old man left behind by my father...... I didn't expect her to ...... I listened to her words, and the more I thought about it, the more annoyed Tu Ruchuan became, so I ......"
He looked at Meng Guiyu's dark face, and muttered that he couldn't go on.
Meng Guiyu was speechless for a long time: the Qian mother Meng Guihan said was indeed the descendant left by Meng Bao and his wife, and she accompanied the four brothers and sisters from the most difficult time.
There are not many such subordinates in the fourth room of the Meng family, so they are particularly valued by the four brothers and sisters of Meng Guiyu.
Previously, the Shu sisters deliberately raised the four rooms, gave Meng Guihan the title of Yongningbo, and gave a Yongningbo mansion.
Originally, because he had not yet married a wife, Meng Guihan, who had been living with his brother in the Hou Mansion of Chongxin, had his own residence and moved out from the Hou Mansion.
Meng Guiyu was worried that his younger brother would be taken advantage of by others because he was young and did not have a city government, so he specially selected a group of screened subordinates from his side and sent them to the Bofu to serve.
Among them are rich mothers.
Because of her seniority and age, this Qian's mother went to Bofu, and she was entrusted with the important task of the prime minister's backyard.
In the case that Meng Guihan did not marry a wife, she could be said to be the de facto mistress of Yongning Bo Mansion.
Not to mention that Meng Guihan would not have thought that this old servant who was a little nagging in his impression but sincerely treated the brothers and sisters in the fourth room would have ulterior motives, it was Meng Guiyu, before Meng Guihan said this person personally, he would never think of her in any way.
"Sixth brother, is Mother Qian ...... But...... But we have always treated her well, she ...... How could she do this?!" Seeing that Meng Guiyu didn't speak, Meng Guihan was frightened in his heart, and asked in a panic, "She is a person of this age, her son and daughter-in-law are all doing things in our family, and she has always been very shameful, she sold us now, but what benefit can she have in the future?!"
"If we fall because of this, she still can't go to her master behind the scenes to ask for benefits?!" Meng Guiyu's face sank like water, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and go back and bring people over, and find out who is stumbling around you?!"
Meng Guihan hurriedly agreed, took two steps outside, thought about it, stopped again, and asked, "That...... Sixth brother, tenth sister's family is still in Mizhen's hands, what should I do?"
Although it is said that he was provoked by Mother Qian, he would poison Tu Ruchuan, but he doesn't have to think about it to know that Rong Sleeping Crane will not hand over Mother Qian because of him, so forget it!
"Between Mi Zhen and us, they are enemies!" Meng Guiyu Senran said, "Since the tenth sister has fallen into his hands, no matter whether we are justified or not, will he still release him?"
Seeing that Meng Guihan's face was pale, he couldn't bear it in the end, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Before Mi Zhen returned to Chang'an, I sent someone to place the tenth sister's family in the remote Zhuangzi, and there are only a few people who know it......! Either way, today's events are inevitable...... You don't have to beat yourself up too much!"
After a pause, he said, "Mother Qian should not have been bought by Mizhen, Tu Ruchuan took very good care of him before, and he may not be willing to make this uncle a real disability." ”
As for how to deal with the aftermath, Meng Guiyu waved his hand, "You go and get money for your mother's family first, I'll think about it!"
At this time, in the palace of Mizhen County, Sheng Weiqiao had also finished reading the queen's handwriting, and the queen told in the letter that it was not easy to live under Meng Guiyu during this time, remembered the joy of laughing with Sheng Weiqiao earlier, greeted Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Ruibin's recent situation, and finally proposed euphemistically to let Sheng Weiqiao enter the palace to see her.
When Sheng Weiqiao read the letter, Yi Shan saw that the hostess had no clear objection, so she came over to read it together.
At this moment, he sneered: "Niangniang, the slave maid sees that Meng Guiyu wants you to enter the palace! After all, his sister, Meng Guixin, who made an exception to seal the eldest princess, is not in our hands now? Presumably he knows that the king of the county has always loved you and hopes to trick you into the palace, so that he can use his power in the palace to detain you and exchange hostages with the king of the county!"
He also said to the queen, "Who doesn't know Meng Guiyu's wolf ambitions? The queen clearly knows that his intentions are unfavorable to you, but she still helped him write this letter, which is simply her heart!"
Sheng Weiqiao's face was not very good-looking, and said: "These have their own secret chastity to deal with, we don't have to worry about it!"
Laying the letter on the table, he got up, "I'll go and see them." ”
Yi Shan, who was two steps behind, waited for her to go out, then beckoned to the little maid and commanded in a low voice: "Take the letter and burn it!"
At the end, she caught up with Sheng Weiqiao and was about to speak, but saw Sheng Weiqiao standing under the cloister, looking thoughtful.
"Niangniang?" Yi Shan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about the news that came just now, that is, Meng Guihan bullied Uncle Tu Shi for no reason. Sheng Weiqiao said, "It seems that he is deliberately stirring up trouble, but there is already a dispute between the former dynasty and the prince, isn't it superfluous for him to do this?"
Yi Shan thought for a while and said, "Slave maid to tell the truth, although you and the county king respect Tu Changshi very much, Tu Changshi is actually not very important in the court. Starting from him, provoke a full-scale dispute between the two sides, and the slave maid felt ...... Something that doesn't make sense?"
Sheng Wei Qiao bowed his head and said: "And the person who came to me to send me the queen's handwritten letter under the banner of the queen mother is also weird, calculate the time, even if Meng Guiyu heard about Meng Guixin in the palace, let the queen try to trick me into the palace to be a hostage...... Why is he sure that I will be fooled? In the end, Mi Zhen and Meng Guiyu are fighting fiercely in the court at this time, and they have a queen mother and a queen in the Meng family, and they have deep power in the palace!"
"Even if I want to go out in this situation, where can you not stop me?"
Yi Shan thought about it for a while, but she didn't have a clue, so she smiled and said, "Niangniang, anyway, now that the county king is in power, why should you worry about some trivial things?"
She said it easily here, but Queen Meng in the palace felt that the sky had fallen: "What did you say?
It was Meng Guiyu's henchmen in Wangchun Palace who told her the news, and he knew the truth about the queen's pregnancy.
At this time, he pursed the corners of his mouth and said: "Now that Chang'an knows about this matter, many people are congratulating them! What's more, the Hou Ye has acquiesced in your matter, and the slave maid made up such rumors to coax you to do something?"
"......" Empress Meng couldn't do anything for a long time before muttering, "How is this possible?"
The henchman looked at her and said, "You have to think of a way." ”
"Did Kang Zhao receive the previous letter?" the queen asked, taking a deep breath.
The henchman was surprised: "What letter?"
"What are you pretending to be confused?" the queen sneered and said, "It's the letter that my aunt sent from a reliable palace man before...... Don't say that Meng Guiyu doesn't know! He deliberately let him go, just to monitor the entire ins and outs behind the scenes, and by the way, find out how deep the friendship between me and Kang Zhao is!"
"The slave doesn't know what you're doing in private!" the henchman blinked when he heard this, and said, "The slave is just ordered to come and serve you!"
The queen bit her lip and said, "You can still serve me with your heart and mind! In the future, if I go without knowing it, I am afraid that you will not go down to accompany me immediately?"
The henchman's face changed when he heard this, but he still smiled and said: "Niangniang, it's useless for you to tell me this, the top priority is that you have to think of a way to deal with it! After all, it's okay if the current fiancée is someone else, Jingshu County Lord, that one is famous for her exquisite eight-faced! If you know this in your stomach, do you think she will like to see that she has a drag oil bottle before she enters the door?"
Empress Meng's face sank like water, and she said: "Why do you mean this, the sixth brother doesn't care about this? He doesn't care, but he asked you to come and tell me, what does this mean?"
The henchman smiled and said, "Niangniang, the Hou Ye asked the slave to tell you about this, and he may have planned to take care of it, but this time it will be different." You probably don't know it yet, right? The whole family of the eldest princess Yifeng went wrong, and she asked the king of Mizhen County to tie them up, and it is said that Yongningbo made them! Who doesn't know that Hou Ye attaches great importance to those two? You said that he is here, but where is the time to take care of you?"
The queen said incredulously: "Their brothers and sisters have always been united, how could the seventh brother harm the tenth sister's family fell into the hands of Mizhen?!"
The henchman shook his head and said: "It seems that Master Hou only knew about this, how did the slave and maid know? Anyway, now you can probably only think alone!"
The queen was instantly confused here, and the people under Rong Sleeping Crane were actually not easy.
Although Luo Pu won a great victory in the court controversy, some of his henchmen led by Le Yangwen did not approve of allowing Sleeping Crane to succeed Emperor Xuanjing.
Le Yangwen specially said to Rong Sleeping Crane in private: "Your Majesty has practiced Zuo as a young man and enjoyed all the wealth in the world, but he has never taken on the responsibility of being the master. The deterioration of the current situation is not a manifestation of the decline of Fukuza. It's not a good thing to be his heir!"
Moreover, "The king of the county studied under the Duke of Huan, but the Duke of Huan was avenged by the general of the present Shang'en! Although it is said that after the king of the county ascended the throne, he was different from the Duke of Huan and the prince of Huan, and it cannot be judged by common sense, but ...... After all, it is inevitable that there will be discussions in the streets! For example, Luo Pu and other Huan Gong disciples will have some scheming in their hearts. ”
"So in the opinion of his subordinates, it's better to be like this: Your Majesty isn't fast, can't you wait for his biological heir to land? In that case, why not use the identity of the emperor's nephew to inherit the throne? Anyway, Meng Guiyu's side has been talking about the country and the elder monarch!"
"Go back and wait for Your Majesty's biological flesh and blood to be born, and be crowned a princess or a princess, and be honored for a lifetime, that is!"
Rong Mianhe was noncommittal about this suggestion, because some people led by Xu Lianshan thought that it would be good to pass it on to Emperor Xuanjing, so that King Gaomi and his wife would be uncles and aunts, and they would not need to be crowned the Empress Dowager, nor would they need to worry about what tricks King Gaomi would play in the future by relying on the identity of Emperor Taishang.
The two views have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and they have always been on the same footing, but in the end, it was Gongsun Shu's move to come to the door that prompted him to make up his mind.
