Meng Guiyu's face changed, and after a while, he said hesitantly: "The grand prince is really eloquent! It's just that you also said that the Meng family is prosperous, and there are not a few relatives such as Gao Chengxuan! In this way, even if a Gao Chengxuan is eliminated, how can I guarantee that the person who will go all out to support the Meng family next is me?"

"Take a step back, even if it's really me ......"

"I'm now being held in your hand by you Grand Prince, and in the future, it's not like what you say, like a puppet?!"

"So, if you act according to your wishes, in the final analysis, the benefits are all taken by you, and I will be your knife at most!"

Sheng Sleeping Crane put down the tea bowl and said with a faint smile: "Why am I able to hold your handle? Because your status in the Meng clan is too low! What you have done so far, if you change it to your third brother Meng Boqin, it is nothing at all! It is as if the Empress Dowager and Zheng Guogong still thought that Jiaoyu's mother and daughter were killed by Meng Boqin, but they invariably chose to calm the matter instead of being angry and pursuing it to the end. Imagine that one day, your status in the Meng clan has reached the level of Meng Boqin, what is the so-called handle?!"

"It's just a cake to satisfy hunger. Meng Guiyu still shook his head, "The special status of the third brother comes from two points: first, he is my eldest uncle's original son-in-law, or the only original son-in-law; As for me, I am the son of the fourth room, my father was young and frivolous when he was alive, and he offended my aunt and uncle, and when it comes to the ancestor Yu Ze, it would be good if the elders did not get angry, let alone how much care they took care of me. ”

"Because of the difficulties of my family when I was a teenager, and I had to take care of my younger siblings, I could not hire a good husband, nor did I have much focus on my studies, and besides, I am not a person with a particularly good talent for studying! ”

"In this way, how can I achieve the status of the third brother now? Don't you let me plan the military power in the hands of the third brother!"

The military power in Meng Boqin's hands was saved by the support of the entire Meng clan and after many years of hard work.

He is not without heirs, and he has two half-brothers, how can it be passed on to a cousin who has never met at all?

Even if all his sons and grandchildren are not angry, Meng Boheng and Meng Si'an can't count on it, and he has to consider his cousin...... Meng Guiyu is not his only cousin!

Wu Anhou and Chengyanghou are two people, how can they not be moved?

Meng Guiyu didn't think he could win them.

"Then according to what you say, you might as well be like this for the rest of your life. Sheng Sleeping Crane said calmly, "As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, you want to benefit but don't want to pay...... Why don't you want to think about how good things really are, why should you be cheaper?"

Meng Guiyu was silent for a while, and said: "I naturally understand the truth of seeking wealth and danger. But to be honest, I don't really believe that you want to kill Gao Chengxuan this time in order to avenge the Wu'an Hou Mansion for Miss Sheng San, I think you want to solve a problem in advance: I heard that my nephew, Meng Jiayan, the grandson of the Hou of Wu'an, hinted at you before the Spring Festival and was willing to marry your sister to you?"

"With your talent and future, the second room can take a fancy to you, why can't the big room?"

"My third brother's daughter, my niece Meng Shuangxiao, is now at the age of being a boudoir, and she is in Chang'an! Miss Sheng San and Miss Sheng Ba have met more than once, right?"

"If you marry Dafang in the future, as long as Gao Chengxuan dies, the next candidate for Meng's all-out support is likely to be you. ”

"I'm so busy, didn't I make a wedding dress for you?"

"If the person Meng Clan is going all out to support me next, wouldn't it be good for you?" Sheng Sleeping Crane said slowly, "After all, I have your handle in my hand, so I am naturally more at ease with you than others, if I really want to use people, of course I prefer to use you." In this way, you will be able to get more opportunities to temper and perform than you do now!"

"It's Gao Chengxuan, after we avoided going out of the wing room that night and let your uncle and nephew speak, I left a henchman on the roof to listen, as if you, the nephew, are not ordinary disrespectful to you?"

"It's just that although he is your junior, he is deeply favored by your second uncle, so that you can't put up a cousin's shelf with him!"

"You are reluctant to deal with him now, but you do not know when he will be at your mercy...... Will they not want to embarrass you?"

Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled, "Or do you think I'll give in to him for your sake?"

Seeing Meng Guiyu's face pale, he shook his head, pushed the tea bowl inward, and stood up, "Uncle, you should know very well! After hearing what the little beast said to you in private from my henchman, between me and the little beast, you have to choose a side! I come to discuss with you now, it is precisely because I value you and don't want you to be involved, if you keep pushing back like this, I really think that I can't help that little beast without your help?!"

As he spoke, he turned around and left.

When he walked to the door, Meng Guiyu finally couldn't hold his breath and said, "Wait!"

“…… From Meng Boheng to Jiaoyu mother and daughter to Gao Chengxuan. Meng Guiyu saw that although Sheng Sleeping Crane stood still, he had no intention of sitting back, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "This can't be done! Meng is not a fool, even if I cover for you, and summarize the people who offended these people before the accident, sooner or later they will find you, and they will not let me go!"

"So what?" Sheng Sleeping Crane turned his head and looked at him quietly.

"......" Meng Guiyu pursed his lips for a moment and said, "You don't have to make a move this time, leave it to me!"

He smiled bitterly, "It's good that the people who want Gao Chengxuan to die, it's not just you and me!"

This revealed that he was actually hoping that Gao Chengxuan would die as soon as possible.

"I heard that Uncle plans to choose a son-in-law for Miss Meng Shiyi after the gold list comes out?" Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, smiled, and said, "At that time, when Miss Meng Shiyi's good things are approaching, please tell me, and let me give a light gift and add makeup to Miss Eleven!"

Although he knew that he was beating a stick, oh no, it was a few sticks to give a sweet date, but when Meng Guiyu heard this, his expression was slightly softened, and he said, "Then I will thank the grand prince on behalf of my sister!"

…… On the way back to Ningweihou's mansion after the master and servant of Sheng Sleeping Crane said goodbye to Meng Guiyu, leaving the teahouse and returning to Ningweihou's mansion, Gongsun Xi asked with some worry: "Son, you always coerce Chongxinbo like this, will Chongxinbo ......?"

"He's not going to turn my face out easily. Sheng Sleeping Crane shook his head and said, " First, his parents died when he was a child, and he still has three young brothers and sisters to take care of, in a difficult situation, he has long been accustomed to swallowing his anger, not the kind of person who wants to die when he is slightly oppressed;

"Thirdly, he thought that I was going to take refuge in the Meng family in the future, so even if he could not become the leader of the younger generation of the Meng family, he would have the advantage of becoming my confidant. This person was very tormented by the situation in his early years, although he was ambitious and eager to hold power, but his ambition has not yet reached the point where he has to dominate, so all kinds of rejection and embarrassment are just deliberately showing to test my bottom line and human temperament, and prepare for dealing with me in the future!"

"If he really doesn't want to deal with Gao Chengxuan, why did he ask me to meet today?"

"Wouldn't it be more of a way to express his determination to be unwilling to participate in this matter?"

"After all, the matter of Bishui County has little to do with him, and he is at most an accomplice in the matter of Jiaoyu's mother and daughter. If he really makes trouble, he still has a way to live, and I may be able to get out myself, but a few of them may not be able to do it...... He didn't use this to blackmail me, it can be seen that he has chosen in his heart!"

Gongsun Xi smiled bitterly: "But this move is risky after all, so don't do it in the future." ”

When he said this, he didn't expect Sheng Sleeping Crane to listen to it, and he didn't want Sheng Sleeping Crane to hear this, but he nodded, and said peacefully: "It's also that the Meng clan can't use it for long, and it is a little bit to be able to take advantage of it." ”

No matter how tolerant Meng Guiyu is, after knowing that he is actually the bloodline of King Gaomi, he knows that he will never help him do things and hide it anymore...... After all, Meng Guiyu has no fame or merit, and his status and power today depend on the Meng family.

If this person thinks about himself and the Meng family's four rooms, he won't even be able to see this point clearly!

So where can Sheng Sleeping Crane not seize this last period of time and mislead him to eradicate that Gao Chengxuan?

…… The apricot list came out the next day, and Ning Weihou Mansion sent someone to see the list very early, and the result was very good: Sheng Sleeping Crane was the second on the apricot list, and Xu Baomo was a step behind, ranking eighteenth.

However, eighteen is actually very good, but it is only a big gap compared to Sheng Sleeping Crane.

Therefore, the whole Ningwei Hou Mansion was overjoyed, and the Nan family happily ordered the whole Mansion to reward a month's monthly money on the spot to celebrate.

If it weren't for Sheng Shenghe's desperate excuse with "there is still a palace test", she would have even wanted to set up a banquet at this time.

Although Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them were also very happy to hear the news, but in private, Sheng Weiqiao still inquired who the current branch would be, and when he heard that it was Gao Chengxuan, he frowned slightly: "Is it him?"

I was worried in my heart that Meng Shi still chose his own nephew instead of sleeping cranes.

But then I thought, "If it's not the champion, it's not the champion, anyway, this ranking is also very good, and if you can enter the Hanlin Academy, you can get in." After all, it's not that you can be a great minister only if you are the champion, the so-called Lianjie six yuan is just an expectation...... Alas, I'm really worried, he won't be surnamed Sheng soon, no matter how rich he is in the future, it may not have anything to do with our family, so why should I care so much?"

She shook her head and didn't want to, she was supposed to go back to the Sheng Mansion to pack her luggage at this time, but because Old Lady Sheng and Old Lady Ming would arrive at the end of March, they couldn't leave for the time being, and they had to wait for the two elders to come and then discuss the return date.

At this time, when I thought about it, I felt that Sheng Sleeping Crane's so-called "restoring his identity always has to give the Sheng family an explanation", so he wrote a letter to invite Mrs. Sheng to go north in person, and Bacheng was also to prevent him from returning?

After the apricot list, it is said that the most anticipated is the palace test.

It's just that this year's palace examination is later than in previous years, because there is a wedding day for the Son of Heaven in the middle.

Originally, Meng Biyun only received Yi's decree at the beginning of February, and went out of the cabinet at the beginning of March, ordinary people were too hurried, let alone royal, but once the Empress Dowager Meng was old, Emperor Xuanjing was very unwilling to accept this cousin as a successor, Meng and the Queen Mother were worried about the long nights and dreams, and hoped to implement the matter quickly, and they couldn't take care of a lot of red tape, everything was simple; 。

On the sixth day of the first month of March, Meng Biyun was carried into the imperial city by a mighty procession, entered the Wangchun Palace, and became the second queen of Emperor Xuanjing.

At the big wedding ceremony, according to the rules, Emperor Xuanjing's three palaces and six courtyards should collectively worship the young new queen to show their humility.

On this occasion, Sheng Weiqiao and others were not qualified to see it with their own eyes, but afterwards they heard news from the palace, saying that the other concubines were all honestly kneeling and bowing three times on the Jingshao Hall of Wangchun Palace, but the Shu sisters, one said that she couldn't talk about her illness;

"The two Shu Niangniang slapped the new queen in the face like this, how did the new queen do it?" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, and was a little worried about Meng Biyun, and asked Huan Yehe in front of her.
