After Wu Anbo returned home, he immediately took resolute action.

It's just that the questioning on the servant's side went well, Meng Boshen and his son came to him, Wu Anbo just mentioned the beginning, Meng Boshen was in tears, knelt down with a "plop", and said sadly: "Daddy!" Could it be that in the father's mind, the child is such an incompetent person?! ”

As soon as he saw this situation, Wu Anbo had a headache, Meng Boshen was his eldest son, and he was also the first male heir of Meng's generation, Zheng Hou was the first to marry as the eldest brother, but even his wife and concubine, he gave birth to four daughters, and there was no trace of the male heir.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Meng was still a little pitiful in the palace of the first emperor, the Meng family was not yet prominent, Meng Guozhang was still alive, and she was very fond of her youngest son Meng Bao, and she had some dislike for the three older sons of Zheng Hou, Wu Anbo, and Cheng Yangbo.

In the year when Miss Meng Si was born, the newlywed Wu Anbo and his wife Yao gave birth to Meng Boshen, the significance of the three Zheng Hou brothers can be imagined!

At that time, Zheng Hou was not powerful, nor wealthy, and thought that he was destined to have no children, and he hugged Meng Boshen's swaddling clothes on the full moon wine, and once wanted to cry, and in private he said to Wu Anbo: "Daddy prefers the fourth brother, and the fourth brother is arrogant, not a person who will remember brotherhood." As the eldest brother, I have no queen so far, and he is getting old, and I am afraid that it will be thanks to the son of the second brother! ”

When Wu Anbo heard this, he remembered Meng Guozhang's partiality, and he and Cheng Yangbo were all related, and the three brothers once hugged their heads and cried...... This is also the reason why after Meng Guozhang went, they would be extremely cold to Meng Bao.

At that time, Meng Boshen was as favored as Sheng Weiqiao in Nanfeng County, his uncle, father, and uncle all regarded him as a treasure in the palm of his hand, and his cousins were even more respectful to him, and they didn't dare to offend him at all.

Who knows that in a few years, not only Zheng Hou and Cheng Yangbo have sons one after another, but Yao also gave birth to his second son Meng Bomei, the second son of Wu Anbo, and his sister Meng Bichen, the fifth lady, and the sixth miss Meng Bihui.

Wu Anbo's concubine also gave birth to a son, Meng Siyi, the fifth son.

When there are more children, the love of parents will naturally be scattered.

Especially Meng Boshen, as the first male heir of Meng's generation, has been doted on by the elders led by Zheng Hou since he was a child, and he has cultivated an arrogant and willful temperament, not only offended the cousins under Zheng Hou's knees early, but also has a condescending attitude towards the younger brothers and sisters behind, so that his brothers and sisters are very unfamiliar with him.

is good at dancing with Meng Bomei, not to mention getting along with a cadre of sisters, and the relationship between the cousins is also very good, and he is also filial and considerate to Wu Anbo and his wife.

Over time, he compared Meng Boshen.

Out of the mentality of attaching importance to the eldest son since ancient times, Wu Anbo did not remind Meng Boshen, but at that time, Meng Boshen was young and vigorous, and he was full of disgust and disgust for Wu Anbo's mention and discipline.

thought that this was Wu Anbo's change of heart, and after favoring Meng Bomei, he naturally looked at himself unpleasantly.

His thinking is tantamount to deepening Wu Anbo's disappointment with this son, and at the same time, there is a contrast between Meng Bomei's compassion and persuasion, Wu Anbo not only feels that the eldest son is not of great use, but also thinks that Meng is not at the time to sit back and relax, and he is in great need of a capable and excellent reliable heir, as well as the persuasion of his beloved daughter, so he moved the idea of changing his son.

But because of Meng Boshen's status as the eldest son and the love of flesh and blood, he hesitated for a few years.

As a result, such a hesitation gave Meng Jiayan a chance to grow.

Wu Anbo's eldest grandson Meng Jiayan is not at all like his eldest son Meng Boshen, this may be because Meng Boshen himself is arrogant and domineering, and he does not attach much importance to his wife and son-in-law.

He was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, and he was already very good at giving advice to Meng Boshen.

may be because Wu Anbo, as his father, the way of admonishment is to scold, Meng Jiayan as a son, the way of admonishment is to accompany the guidance of careful stitches, Wu Anbo hopes that Meng Bo will understand the truths of his son but failed to convince his son after all, but Meng Jiayan poured it into his father bit by bit.

It's just that at this time, Meng Boshen changed again, and it was a little late: Meng Bomei was already fledgling, and even his father and son had gained enough prestige in the entire family, and he had established a good impression in front of Wu Anbo and his sister Meng Bichen and others.

So at that time, for the transformation and awakening of the eldest son, Wu Anbo and his wife were not so much happy as embarrassed: what if the eldest son had been unreasonable, disobedient and unfilial? It is natural to abolish his position as the son of the world, and there is no need for any apology in the heart of parents...... But he repented at this time!

Don't forgive him, it seems that he is stingy with his father and mother, in the end, he is the first son, and he is a special existence emotionally and in name, otherwise he would not have given birth to the heart of changing the world and has dragged on for so many years; Forgive him, now that the feelings have shifted, bet on Meng Bomei's side, and then turn around...... Where is it so easy!

Wu Anbo and his wife hesitated for several years, and then when they hesitated this time, Meng Boshen and Meng Bomei and his son fought!

This fight brought to the point that Gao Chengxuan's career was ruined, and major events such as the sudden rise of Rong Sleeping Crane led to the Meng family's decision to maintain stability, Wu Anbo decided to maintain the inheritance system of the eldest and gave up Meng Bomei painfully.

However, the rift between brothers is not so easy to bridge after it is generated, especially after Meng Bomei is talked, she still looks like a brother and a brother, and is willing to sacrifice and dedicate herself to the family.

But in the eyes of Meng Boshen's father and son, this is a thief's heart that is not dead, and he is still delusional about making a comeback!

Therefore, under the suppression of the elders, the two brothers were polite on the surface, but they never stopped fighting in secret.

Especially in recent days, the two sides have almost eaten and lived in the yamen, and they seem to be scrambling to be the first.

Wu Anbo knows the thoughts of his sons and grandchildren well, but it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, not to mention that as long as the children and grandchildren do not fight each other ruthlessly, the progress caused by this kind of competition is also what Wu Anbo wants to see, so he pretends to be confused.

But at this time, Meng Boshen knelt down and questioned, obviously suspecting that Wu Anbo had despised his talents, and this matter was not handled well, so he couldn't say that the eldest son would be suspicious of his younger brother Meng Bomei.

If Meng Boshen was alone, according to his previous style, at most he would have directly knocked on the door and made a big noise.

However, now that his grandson is also older, Meng Jiayan is much more insidious than Meng Boshen, what happened to Gao Chengxuan before really made Wu Anbo feel distressed for a long time, if it weren't for his eldest grandson, Meng Jiayan would have been executed by him a long time ago!

At this time, what if the father and son think that Meng Bomei stabbed Meng Bomei in the back, and turn around and stab Meng Bomei and his son with the knife? !

Wu Anbo sighed in his heart and said, "You get up and speak!" ”

Seeing that Meng Boshen refused, Meng Jiayan behind him even took off his robe and knelt down with his father, his face sank, and he said straight to the point, "Don't think about it!" I've just come from your uncle's side, so I'll know if I ask the door. The reason why I came to you to confirm is because your uncle was worried about something like Bo Heng and Si'an, and you also knew about that incident, and I thought it was Bo Shen that you did it with Bo Mei, but in the end, I went around and around, and it was Si'an, Meng Guiyu, and Bo Heng...... Even though Meng Guiyu came up with evidence to prove his innocence at that time, your uncle had some doubts about him in his heart, because he just listened to the proposal of your father and son that I relayed, and asked me to come back and confirm it, lest you be used as a gunman and trap the whole family before they know! ”

Meng Jiayan saw that Meng Boshen's face was silent, hesitated, and said: "Grandfather, this method is really my father's idea alone, and my grandson will help with the polishing at most, and there are really no outsiders to mix it up, and I also ask my grandfather to know it!" ”

Wu Anbo didn't believe it very much, Meng Boshen had a rude temperament, even under Meng Jiayan's persuasion and Meng Bomei's pressure, he had worked hard to cultivate his self-cultivation in the past few years, but his essence was still irritable, otherwise how could he kneel down and ask if he thought he was incompetent?

Thinking about the relationship between father and son, he said euphemistically: "Boshen, you haven't been busy with the news from the Western Xinjiang these days, why did you suddenly think of dealing with King Gaomi?" ”

Meng Boshen said expressionlessly: "Just because the child has been dealing with the news related to the king of Mizhen these days, I feel annoyed!" Thinking that if the father and son go to the Yellow Spring together, the child will be relaxed, and our entire Meng family will be relieved! ”

Meng Jiayan added to him softly: "After Dad told his grandson this, Grandpa said that his grandfather and uncle, uncle and grandfather and Shanglinyuan's aunt and grandmother must also think the same, if Dad has leisure, it is better to think about the feasibility, if he succeeds, he can also share the worries of the elders!" ”

Wu Anbo said "um", thinking: "If these words are true, then the truth of the matter should be: Bo Shen has no patience to handle official business, and in order to compare with Bo Mei, he forcibly suppresses sex. The son did it, but after returning home, he had a seizure with Jiayan in private, and Jiayan planned the whole process, and taught Boshen to come to me to offer advice! ”

Although Meng Jiayan's practice of destroying Gao Chengxuan not only ruined Wu Anbo's series of plans, but also made Wu Anbo feel very distressed about what happened to his grandson, but this incident also made Wu Anbo look at this grandson with admiration: although this move does not care about the overall situation, but from the position of Meng Jiayan's interests, he is really fast, ruthless and absolute, and he is absolutely well-deserved to say that he is a talent!

Since this grandson has such an impression, the strategy to deal with King Gaomi this time is almost the same as Meng Jiayan's destruction of Gao Chengxuan, but it is just to replace his sister with a concubine in the palace, Wu Anbo is afraid that the contradiction between his children and grandchildren will be intensified, so he doesn't want to ask carefully, and secretly thought: "Go back and ask the servant, the recent whereabouts of these two children, if there is nothing suspicious, then it should be fine." ”

He said, "I know, this time, a few of our elders have summed up the idea and think it is feasible, so we are discussing the details now." Since it is from Boshen, and it is not a trap passed on by outsiders, it is estimated that it will be launched in a few days. ”

paused, "After the matter is completed, the credit of your father and son will naturally not be less!" ”

After making some promises to appease, seeing that Meng Boshen's face finally looked much better, Wu Anbo held back a wry smile and waved his hand, "You guys go and get busy, I have something going on here." ”

Half an hour later, the chief steward who was in charge of checking the servants came to report that the subordinates had been doing well lately, and that there was nothing suspicious.

Wu Anbo asked Meng Boshen and his son: "Where have they been recently, and who have they met?" ”

"The eldest prince and the fourth grandson have been very diligent and hardworking recently, and they have been in the yamen most of the time, and after you summoned them, the people below also went to the yamen to call people back." The chief steward said, "The old slave asked their attendants on the left and right, and they all said that they only handled official business in the yamen, and occasionally discussed some things, which was normal, and the people they saw were all people in the yamen, and there was nothing special." ”

Wu Anbo interrogated for a long time, and couldn't see that there was anything wrong, so he was relieved, took out a note casually, wrote a short message, sealed it and handed it to the chief steward: "You take it to the eldest brother!" ”

Zheng Hou received the news that he was not at ease, and sent his own people to privately inquire about Meng Boshen's father and son, and the conclusion was that there was nothing suspicious, so he decided to act, and the three brothers gathered together again, and after a plan in full swing, it was finalized, and Zheng Hou sent a letter to Wangchun Palace to ask the queen to cooperate.

At this time, Empress Meng was seriously asking Meng Guiyu: "What do you want me to do?" ”
