Chapter 240: Counterattack
The day after receiving Rong Sleeping Crane's letterhead, Gongsun Shu took Luan Yusi and Shao Yan to visit Meng in secret.
He was received far more than his status, Zheng Hou personally came forward, talked with him for a long time, and finally hinted that his boss had something to do recently, which might be a matter for him, and Zheng Hou himself thought that Gongsun Shu was very suitable for the errand of his boss.
On the second day, Gongsun Shu took Luan Yusi and Kanggui to Gaomi Palace, and the treatment, evidence, and promise were ...... It is the same as the Zhenghou Mansion.
"King Gaomi is really ruthless!" On the way back, Luan Yuhe, who had always firmly believed that Rong Sleeping Crane was the real murderer of the old sea lord of Gongsun, couldn't help but sigh, "After all, Zheng Hou and Mizhen have nothing to do with each other, they are still political enemies, no matter how unscrupulous they stumble, it is also a reasonable thing." This is Mizhen's own father!"
"What is a father?" Kang Gui sneered, "The princess of the county is unreliable! Even if that princess Gaomi is not very good and does not like to associate with people, she has been in the backyard for many years, and has been in the western Xinjiang for many years, how many days have it been since she was in an emergency in the western frontier? If she still doesn't know anything, isn't she no different from a dead person? So did she stand up and speak for the county king? It's really a shame that she kept saying that she loved the county king, but in the end, she didn't choose to watch the eldest son grow up?"
sighed and said, "If the king of the county succeeds in the future, eighty percent will crown them as the emperor and the queen mother...... Even if they are not allowed to take power, the glory on the scene is indispensable. In these years, the shore pays attention to all kinds of good and filial piety first, and the father does not love the life of the mother, and it is really hard to be a son!"
Luan Yusi snorted: "If Mi Zhen really murdered the old sea lord, whether his biological parents can live to see him ascend the throne is a question, and he still wants to be naked?!"
They talked about going back, and from this afternoon onwards, rumors that Gongsun Shu had doubts about his righteous brother Rong Sleeping Crane began to appear in the streets and alleys, fueling the already noisy rumors and making them even higher.
When the Shengfu Xu Mansion learned of this, they were very worried, and Ningwei Hou Xu Zijing specially invited Gongsun Shu to a small gathering in the mansion under the pretext of inviting his in-laws to tea, and spoke for Rong Sleeping Crane: "Although this kid's methods are sometimes a little intense, he is the most grateful. He often took the initiative to mention the favor of the Gongsun clan, and he was grateful to the people on the tortoiseshell island! How could he possibly murder the old sea lord? This must be the rumor that King Gaomi and the Meng clan were afraid of Mizhen's future and deliberately made up it, but don't believe it!"
Gongsun Shu didn't plan to intrigue with Rong Sleeping Crane, so he told him the truth directly: "I have already written a letter to Mi Zhen about this matter, but now I have no choice but to do it! Because Mi Zhen is far away in the western Xinjiang, no matter how much Chang'an ruins his reputation, he has just defeated Ru Ru in the western Xinjiang, and he took out the princess of the county to marry to help the victims rebuild the credit and reputation, it is not so easy to shake. It's me, it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's just that once I have three longs and two shorts now, according to the style of those two families, eighty percent of them will be said to be secret and murderous. ”
"At that time, there will be no proof of death, won't Mi Zhen not even have a chance to explain in the future?"
"Therefore, whether it is Mi Zhen or my own thoughts, they are temporarily perfunctory with those two families. ”
Xu Zijing was relieved and apologized to him: "I see, it's me Meng Lang!"
"My in-laws also care about our brothers. Gongsun Shu smiled, although he and Xu Zijing are sons and daughters, they are not very familiar with each other, mainly an official and a bandit, so they naturally don't get along, not to mention that Gongsun Shu and Rong Sleeping Crane are sworn brothers, and Rong Sleeping Crane is Xu Zijing's niece and son-in-law, wrong generation, it is inevitable that it will be embarrassing to call it.
After making it clear at this point, I sat down a little and took my leave.
Of course, when they left, everyone made an unhappy appearance.
Xu Zijing afterwards told Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Feng and his own father, and after discussion, the four old men agreed that they had to do everything they could, if Gongsun Shu didn't explain the reason, they would definitely not just let Xu Zijing go out and give up, so they pestered Gongsun Su very much.
Their plan was to entangle at least four or five times, and the four elders would have to come forward to make it look realistic.
As a result, this decision was made, and Rong Sleeping Crane's counterattack began, menacing and vicious, compared to King Gaomi's sale, it was even better: it was directed at King Gaomi's heart and liver, and the son Rong Qingyu!
"Have you heard? The youngest son under the knee of King Gaomi, when the heirs under the knee of the prince were prosperous more than ten years ago, were all the most intelligent and intelligent kings of Mizhen County, why were they exiled back then?"
"What kind of trafficker is not careful, that is the prince's son-in-law, the nephew of the Son of Heaven, don't say anything else, just say that his biological mother, Princess Gaomi, that is the eldest lady of the Zhao family, when she was not out of the cabinet, she was famous in Chang'an, it is said that the first emperor personally acted as a matchmaker, and it was all good to say how many days before the Zhao family relented and agreed to marry!"
"Such a mother, her biological flesh and blood, can she be a group of people who hug each other as soon as they land?!"
"Don't talk about abducting the king of Mizhen County, I'm afraid that if you look at it from a distance through the cracks, there is no way!"
"In this way, the reason why this county king is living abroad is obviously that there is a traitor!"
"Let me tell you, this traitor is none other than the prince in the palace who still has a reputation for filial piety, compassion and generosity!"
"Don't believe me?"
"Inexplicably gone, Concubine Mo, they are more suspicious?"
"Alas, you're really brainless!"
"It's all said, the mother of the king of Mizhen County is not a concubine in a corner of the palace, it is the princess's concubine and her mother's own origin!"
"That princess was in charge of the Hefu Mansion before the king of Mizhen County announced her 'untimely death'!"
"With her background, can she still make the side concubine be a demon under her nose?"
"There is only the son of the world, who is the princess's biological flesh and blood, and can make the princess defenseless!"
"What? The second prince Rong Qing, who was left out of the palace in the cold, is very suspicious?"
"Rong Qingzui is only the second son, and he was only ten years old at the time, what can he do? He just calculated the king of Mizhen County, under the order of the eldest and youngest, will the position of the prince get him? If he wants to murder, he should also murder the prince!"
That is, the son of the world himself, although he occupies the status of the eldest son, his qualifications are mediocre, and those concubines perform well. But the princess gave birth to a very smart brother for him!"
"And the prince at that time, ah no, until now, he has been fighting with the Meng family to the death, do you say, don't you want a capable son to help share the worries?"
"If the king of Mizhen County has been growing up in front of the king of the county like the prince, the so-called father and son soldiers in battle, where is there any matter of the son?"
"So, the 'lost' of the King of Mizhen County, without the comparison of his outstanding brothers, is the status of the prince stable?"
"Not only that, but the 'epidemic' of Concubine Mo's people, eighty percent of them also have something to do with this...... Why? Because the world is mediocre!"
"As mentioned earlier, Princess Gaomi is not easy to bully!"
"Originally, the princess had the outstanding son of the king of Mizhen County, so she naturally didn't want to be a concubine. ”
"But this little son is gone, if he can't see it, Concubine Mo gave birth to so many sons to the prince back then, and there are also heirs from concubines, most of them are said to be more capable than the son. In this way, if the princess doesn't do anything, can she look at the side concubine and the concubine's son, climb on her son's head, and then the mother will sneer her with her son?!"
"After the 'epidemic' incident, King Gaomi's backyard has been clean so far, and there is only one princess, and only the children are left under his knees. ”
"For the son of the world, isn't it a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to eradicate the brother who is a thorn in the eye, but also to kill the mother and the younger brothers by the hand of the biological mother, and from then on be carefree and waiting for the throne?"
"It's a pity that the retribution of Tianli Zhaozhao is not happy, who would have thought that the king of Mizhen County not only died outside in a daze, but was recognized by the palace and not to mention, but also showed his strength again and again, at this time in the western Xinjiang, seeing that the climate is about to become, the prince just can't sit still, for fear that the truth of the year will be revealed, so he hurriedly got a county king to murder his father-in-law, intending to kill his brother?"
"It's a bunch of nonsense! It's just a bunch of nonsense!!!" In the palace of King Gaomi, listening to the rumors from the people below, King Gaomi almost died of anger, "The prince has always been gentle, filial and compassionate, how many times have he pleaded hard for Mizhen's rebellious son in front of Lonely, and even offered to give up the position of the prince to Mizhen several times...... Instead of remembering the kindness of the eldest brother, Mi Zhen will take revenge here, and Lone knows that it will not be a good thing for this rebel to live!!"
The old butler cautiously reminded: "Lord Wang, you have to get an idea quickly! The county king has done a great job this time, and this news came from the Meng family. The Meng clan was happy to see the royal mansion killing each other, so he spared no effort to publicize it! Originally, our son was low-key, where did the outside know about it? If you really believe this...... It's not good for the world!"
Rong Qingchu is not a person like Rong Sleeping Crane who can support a faction of forces by his ability, his biggest advantage is not only the identity of the eldest son, but also the character of the public.
If you lose your reputation, the blow is absolutely fatal!
After all, Zhao Shi has admitted that this eldest nephew is really a good boy, and he is not honestly standing on Rong Sleeping Crane's side?
"This rumor is nonsense at all, and it doesn't even make sense!" King Gao Mi dropped the entire set of tea sets in one breath, before he barely calmed down, and said with a sneer, "Since the qualifications of the prince are mediocre, when Mi Zhen's rebel son was exiled, he was only fourteen years old, but how did he set up such a complicated scheme?
"You send someone out there to refute this nonsense...... In addition, he sent people to the western Xinjiang to preach that the so-called county king who loves the people like a son is what kind of thing! Looking at his achievements and his concern for Li Shu, ten out of ten is a water !!."
He thought he had found a flaw, but who knew that the old butler wanted to speak for a while, but in the end he still said it head-on: "Lord Wang, about the reason why the prince has mediocre qualifications but can come up with such a plan to design the king of Mizhen County, the rumor says that it is all because of ...... Because the prince has received guidance from the Yue family!"
"As for the princess...... It was not mentioned in the rumors, but the ignorant people in the market speculated that it was because as long as the princess sat firmly in the position of the main concubine and ensured that the prince was her own flesh and blood, nothing else mattered!"
He also said...... Or is it that the princess has been lying on the couch all these years, maybe she is worried about the king of Mizhen County, or is she weak-hearted? Or is it that if she makes such a gesture, one day the truth will be revealed, and the princess will have a reason to shirk her responsibility and still stand in a sympathetic position?"
"King Jun, there must be guidance from the Meng family in these words......
When King Gaomi listened, he was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood!
This is simply to kill them all, the spearhead seems to be directed at the prince, but in fact, the Gaomi royal couple does not say it, and even the son's Yue's family and relatives do not let go!
"Does this beast have a heart or liver?!" He kicked over the iron pear wood mantis curly case, and roared angrily, "Everything against him was done by Lone, the son of the world wants to make way for him except to intercede for him, he wants to take revenge Even if he comes to Lonely, what is the point of taking the son of the world?!!"
Not only did King Gaomi feel aggrieved for the prince Rong Qingchu, but in fact, the old lady Sheng was a little hesitant after hearing the news: "It is said that the prince of Gaomi and the wife of the prince are not bad for Qiao Er and his wife...... Mi Zhen did this, it inevitably chilled the hearts of the eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
But whether it is Old Lady Feng or Old Marquis Xu, they all feel that he thinks too much: "Qiao Er and his wife have never gotten along with Shizi and his wife, but they are just some superficial feelings, who knows what they think in private?
Moreover, King Gaomi is the biological father of Mizhen after all, and Mizhen directly dealt with him, which was inevitably criticized in filial piety. ”
"It started with the weakness of King Gaomi, which not only preserved the friendship between father and son, but also achieved the goal of letting King Gaomi stop...... To put it mildly, except for Huan Guanlan, King Gaomi has shaken off the details of Mizhen this time. The reason why I don't mention Huan Guanlan is not necessarily because I care about the friendship between father and son, but I am afraid that I am afraid of that person's means! Even the words that our Qiao Er was once captured by pirates have been said, how many meanings does this mean?!"
Old lady Feng's face sank like water, "This is simply trying to ruin Qiao Er's reputation! It's also a shame that the old woman in my family is not in Chang'an now, otherwise you have to drag me to the palace to fight with King Gaomi! As a father-in-law, his behavior is so filthy, he deserves to cause the son he values to be ruined!"
"......" Old Lady Sheng listened to it and said with a smile, "In-laws, I'm just afraid that Mizhen will always get worse and take revenge, and my heart is so intense, I will go down the wrong path in the future...... How can we say that it is also our own child, how can we turn our elbows outward?"
Old lady Feng said in her heart, if you really don't turn your elbow outward, Lao Tzu will have a good old age, but come to this foreign land to follow you mushrooms?!
After a few vague words, he proposed: "Since Mi Zhen has already fought back, we as elders can't do nothing! When it was rumored that Mi Zhen was an accomplice in the murder of Gongsun Lao Haizhu, didn't Gongsun Haizhu go to the Meng clan and King Gaomi to ask? In this case, everyone is saying that Shizi is the real murderer who murdered Mi Zhen, how can we not go to the palace to find out and confront Shizi face to face?!"
