After the Ningwei Marquis Mansion received the report from Mrs. Qin, Xu Zijing and his wife felt inexplicable at first: "What does the matter between King Gaomi and King Guangling's brothers have to do with us?" ”

But after savoring it, she was shocked, "Could it be that Old Madam Qin thinks that we did this?!" ”

Nan Shi was dumbfounded and said, "We have nothing to do with the Guangling Palace!" ”

"However, our relationship with the Sheng family has always been good, and now because of Qiao'er, we are on Mizhen's side." Xu Zijing frowned, "At this time, King Gaomi raised troops to occupy Chang'an, and held all the clan relatives and nobles in his hands as hostages...... If King Guangling can't think about it himself, he can take his children and grandchildren down to see the first emperor. Since there is something suspicious about the affairs of the Guangling Palace, it is not impossible for King Gaomi to suspect that we will deliberately ruin his reputation for the sake of Mizhen? ”

Nan said with a headache: "He will go more heartily!" Anyway, the juniors were all sent to the north of the city to hide, unless King Gaomi was so mad that he slaughtered the city, otherwise the children might not be able to get out of the city and go to Mi Zhen or Nanfeng County to defect...... Don't bother to care what these people think, just love it! Annoying to death! ”

Originally, from the night when he was shocked to hear that King Gaomi had seized the palace by force, the people in the Ningwei Hou Mansion had prepared for the worst.

As a result, King Gaomi fell short outside the Hehuan Palace, and after retreating to Chang'an City, although he roughly grated Chang'an City up and down, the Meng family and his henchmen raided the house and destroyed the door, such as Xu Zijing, the former neutral faction, and the current secret Zhen faction, were also warned by people who came to the door to talk about it.

Well, that's it.

But of course, Xu Zijing and his wife will not be naïve to think that this matter is over.

It's just that there has been no movement on the side of King Gaomi so far, as if he has completely forgotten about them.

This kind of unknown waiting is the most torturous, and it is no wonder that Nan is having a seizure at this time.

"Don't be in a hurry." Seeing this, Xu Zijing patted her back comfortingly, and said, "King Gaomi seized the palace to no avail, and on the day he returned to Chang'an City, he announced that His Majesty had already died. It can be seen that he knows that his strength is limited, and he can't suppress the mouths of the people, and he doesn't want to bear the reputation of rebellion! In this case, of course, for those of us nobles, we will not easily add to the crime. ”

"Now it's just a ventilated message from Old Madam Qin, but it doesn't represent the attitude of King Gaomi!"

He narrowed his eyes and said softly, "What's more, if it wasn't for the chaos of King Gaomi, even if it was determined that the matter of the Guangling Palace, we did it, and we wouldn't tear our faces apart...... After all, he couldn't fight against Meng Boqin's Northern Frontier Army at this time! You can't count on Mizhen to share the pressure with him! How could it be possible to attack those of us who are close to Micha at this time? ”

"You see that we have heard some warnings in our mansion, and from the beginning to the end, there is no one to disturb them!"

Nan frowned and said, "I really don't understand what this prince thinks? There is such a good child as Mizhen ready-made, and the father and son work together, what kind of thing is Meng's! I don't want to live a good life, I have to toss! Now it's okay, the failure to seize the palace, the two major border armies are eyeing each other, and they are not human inside and out, even if they rely on rumors and the support of the commander of the forbidden army to temporarily stabilize the situation, where is the long-term solution? ”

She groaned and said, "Your Majesty has been addicted to wine for a long time, and he has long lost the ambition of the past!" Even if King Gaomi failed to attack Shanglin Yuan last time, he will definitely not let go of the possibility of killing the monarch in the future! Do you think Your Majesty will leave Chang'an and be lucky elsewhere? In that case, the situation is even more complicated! ”

"Your Majesty is absolutely not allowed to leave Shanglin Yuan!" When the Nan clan asked like this, in Shanglin Yuan, Qiuxin Palace, Meng Guiyu's face was cold, and he vetoed Concubine Shu's proposal, "As for traveling in micro-clothes, go north to meet the hussar generals, don't even think about it!" ”

"You ......" Concubine Shu was about to get angry, but she had already heard him explain: "This is not that the minister wants to harm His Majesty, but for the good of His Majesty!" The concubine should know that since the failure of the rebel king Rongjing to seize the palace and retreat to Chang'an, she has been hyping that the real Your Majesty has died, and now Your Majesty is a stand-in! ”

"The minister told the truth: Your Majesty has been in the harem all these years, and it is rare for all the ministers to come close. Therefore, there are very few foreign ministers who have admired the face of heaven. Ruchen's uncles, cousins and others, as well as the henchmen they had snared, were slaughtered by Rong Jing in this incident! ”

"In this case, once Your Majesty leaves Chang'an at this moment, it will be said that he has a weak heart and confirms the rumors!"

Concubine Shu said unhappily: "However, Your Majesty did not die at all!" Contrary to Wang Rongjing's nonsense, do you have to be believed to be true?! ”

He also said, "Besides, isn't there still the Queen Mother?" It is impossible for the Queen Mother not to tell who is her own flesh and blood, right? ”

"Niangniang, the rebel Wang Rongjing has been prepared for a long time, so all the things about the stand-in are planted on the head of the Meng family." Meng Guiyu reminded her, "Although the Queen Mother is a royal lady, her surname is Meng in the final analysis!" ”

"But this palace and my sister are accompanying Your Majesty these days!" The concubine said incredulously, "The Queen Mother is partial to the Meng family, no matter what Your Majesty says, it is her own flesh and blood, and she is her only child!" Is it hard for her to still look at a stand-in and humiliate His Majesty's reputation?! ”

Meng Guiyu sighed: "Niangniang, if you want to add crimes, why bother? Not to mention the rise of the Meng family, thanks to the Queen Mother, this is a well-known thing. Besides, has Niangniang thought about it? The Queen Mother was born in a humble background, and when the emperor was in the past, she was not favored. The reason why it is so noble and extraordinary now, in the final analysis, is because of His Majesty. If Your Majesty has three long and two short, in this situation, no matter who takes the throne, is it a good thing for the Queen Mother? In this way, it is natural for the Queen Mother to keep the wealth of the Meng family, lest he be abandoned by the new monarch one day? ”

Concubine Shu's face was very ugly, and she said: "However, now that the forbidden army is divided, that chaotic minister and thief harbor evil intentions, and the plot is very big!" Although the day has receded, these days have been in Chang'an, and sooner or later there will be another beacon fire! Don't take advantage of the moment to let Your Majesty take advantage of other places, you, the commander of the forbidden army who came to power temporarily, have never fought a serious battle at all! Are you sure you'll be able to stop the rebels?! If you can't stop it, the consequences will be unimaginable, but how can you afford to be responsible! ”

Regarding Meng Guiyu's appointment as the commander of the forbidden army, the concubine and Zhaoyi had a small argument.

The reason why Shu Zhaoyi agrees with Meng Guiyu is because Zhaoyi believes that King Gaomi is forcing the palace, and the Meng family will bear the brunt of the disaster, even if Meng Guiyu is not intimate with Zheng Hou and others in the fourth room, in the end, he is a blood relative, and Meng Guiyu himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he will not be trusted by King Gaomi.

Therefore, whether Meng Guiyu wants to or not, for his own consideration, he can only be loyal to the king.

Under the lesson of the commander of the forbidden army who betrayed Emperor Xuanjing, the candidate for the new commander of the forbidden army must choose this kind of loyalty and guarantee.

However, Concubine Shu felt that even if the former commander of the forbidden army followed King Gaomi, if he was calm now, it would be enough for a layman like Meng Guiyu to command the army.

At this moment, King Gaomi and the former commander of the forbidden army may have to fight back again!

Then can you still give such an important position to Meng Guiyu?

Meng Guiyu has never fought at all, and his family has no such environment, he has no ears and eyes, no family education, no personal experience, and no proper guidance...... Isn't it a joke to call him the commander of the forbidden army!

It's just that Shu Zhaoyi finally asked the concubine: "The former commander of the forbidden army has a prominent family background, and his relatives are all over the forbidden army!" Although there are loyal people like Tao Yao inside, who knows if other people will be moved by him and turn to the anti-Wang Rongjing?! ”

Shu Guifei thought about the status of the Tao family in the forbidden army, and had nothing to say, so she did not continue to oppose Meng Guiyu's ascendancy.

At this time, the concubine talked about this matter, and Meng Guiyu's brow on the left side jumped very quickly, and then said, "Niangniang!" The two armies facing each other now are both forbidden armies! The former commander of the forbidden army has been in the army for many years, and he is the son who succeeds his father, and the understanding of any general in the forbidden army is above the minister! ”

So, if you find another serious general to sit in my seat, maybe the former commander of the forbidden army will be more comfortable fighting?

"The establishment of the forbidden army is nothing more than the defense of Miyagi and Gyeonggi!"

"In this case, the former commander of the forbidden army has been in power for many years, and he must know a lot about Shanglinyuan and the vicinity of Gyeonggi!"

"Even, at every critical intersection, there are his eyeliners and the like."

"Once we withdraw from Shanglin Yuan now, there will be no fortifications operated by the forbidden army in Shanglin Yuan for generations, won't we be throwing ourselves into the net?"

Wake up, fool!

As the garrison of the forbidden army, Shanglin Yuan is also responsible for guarding the royal family and Chang'an, and from the beginning of its establishment, it has been ready to meet a strong enemy: under normal circumstances, those who can hit Gyeonggi have two brushes!

Whether it's fortifications, baggage, or equipment, there's no shortage of them!

If you leave because you're scared, how much can you move?

If you move less, I'm afraid that I will starve to death before I find a backer, and if I move more, I won't be able to run away at all!

In particular, Sanglimwon occupies a vast area of mountains and forests that stretch for hundreds of miles, and is directly connected to Gyeonggi Zuojinju County.

There are many palaces, grains and grasses in it, if you can't take them away, staying is just cheaper for King Gaomi; If you burn it, such a big forest, one is not good, the wind direction is abrupt, don't kill yourself!

So whether it's political or military considerations, there's no way to move at all, okay?

"What about the Northern Frontier Army?" When Concubine Shu heard the meaning of Meng Guiyu's words, she was annoyed in her heart, glared at him fiercely, and then asked angrily, "There are also officials from nearby states and counties...... They're all dead?! Rong Jing made such a big fuss, even a deaf person should hear it, right? Why hasn't there been a single response until now?! ”

The corners of Meng Guiyu's mouth twitched, and then he reminded with a wry smile: "First, Rong Jing said that His Majesty is a stand-in, so many magistrates hesitated in their hearts; The second is that the king of Mizhen County is now famous, and he may not be able to resist the hussar general! ”

In the final analysis, the father-son status of King Gaomi and Rong Sleeping Crane helped King Gaomi equalize this game!

Concubine Shu took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to go crazy, and said, "So, you can only sit and wait for death at this time?!" ”

"Of course not." Meng Guiyu narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "Outsiders think that Rong Jing and the King of Mizhen County are father and son, even if there is some discord, they will inevitably agree on major matters." However, we know that Rong Jing and Mi Zhen are almost incompatible! As long as the true relationship between their father and son is revealed in front of the world, I am afraid that King Gaomi will not have a day when the wall will fall down and everyone will push it?! ”

The last sentence, he almost gritted his teeth!

Meng Guihuan's death, although it was clearly the hand of King Guangling himself.

But in Meng Guiyu's opinion, if it weren't for King Gaomi's sudden seizure of the palace, which crushed King Guangling, his young sister, why would he die so tragically?!

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Shu pondered for a while and raised her eyebrows, "Although their father and son had a quarrel for a while, they both covered their faces and never exposed themselves. In the end, the two of them are not stupid, they know that your third brother Meng Boqin is not easy to mess with! ”
