Chapter 486: On the banks of the Han River
Although at this time, Liang really wanted to grab Tang Menglan's collar and let her speak clearly.
But after thinking about the huge difference in physical health between himself and her, Liang still decisively gave up this unrealistic idea.
Following Tang Menglan's meaning with a puffed face, Liang looked in the direction of the Zuo family and his party, but it was normal over there, and he couldn't see anything wrong at all, Liang saw that his eyes were sour, and he didn't find anything at all. But just as Liang was about to turn around and ask Tang Menglan what she was selling, her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and she became uneasy.
In front of Liang and Tang Menglan, there is the young grandmother of the Zuo family, and there are really a lot of people, and in addition to the young grandmother of the Zuo family who Liang and Tang Menglan both know, there are many people who Liang does not know.
One of the girls, who was about the same age as Liang and Tang Menglan, suddenly looked in a certain direction in front of her with bright eyes at this time, and her expression gradually became a little shy.
Liang stiffened his neck and looked uneasily at the girl's gaze, but saw that at the end of her line of sight, the person she was staring at was actually Chu Gu?
In an instant, it was just a moment, and Liang suddenly wanted to turn around and run.
How familiar was this scene to her? Especially what she saw, Chu Gu's smile when she looked back at that girl at this moment, it was not the look she was familiar with.
That kind of smile that didn't reach the bottom of his eyes was definitely not the expression that appeared on his face at this time, Liang already knew Chu Gu very well.
But because of this, she actually looked at Chu Gu at this time, but remembered how similar they were when Jiang Chao first saw that woman under the peach blossoms in March of that year.
"Let's go, let's go. ”
But it was really only for a moment, and after that moment of evasion, Liang stood up suddenly, bent his amber eyes, and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go. And Tang Menglan was not surprised at all that Liang would react like this, she also stood up with Liang, wrapped the bean-green cloud pattern cloak on her body, and walked in the direction of Zuo Jia and Chu Gu with Liang.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zuo family and a few young ladies of the Zuo family, how can it be so coincidental, I actually met you here, it's really 'coincidental'. ”
"Yes, what a coincidence, it is really a blessing for Liang to meet Chu Gu Gongzi here. ”
Without waiting for others to discover them, Liang and Tang Menglan had already spoken one after the other before they approached.
And compared to the latter, the smell of gunpowder in the former is not enough, after all, it can make Tang Menglan look sideways, so the smell of gunpowder in Liang's tone is not ordinarily heavy.
"Miss Tang, Liang ......... Miss Liang San!"
The Zuo family and the British Prince's Mansion can be said to be old acquaintances, and they really know each other clearly and even their ancestors for eighteen generations, but the Zuo family and the Zhendong General's Mansion are different.
Moreover, Liang Zai was the third lady who did not step out of the door of the Liang family in her early years, and there were many people who knew her in Jian'an, but there were not many who could really see her at all, even in the past two years, she had begun to attend a lot of banquets.
But those are all banquets that even the Shen family has to attend, but how many people can also attend the same banquet at that banquet?
So now, although Liang is no longer the former Shenlong, there are still not many people who may recognize her at a glance.
Therefore, after seeing Liang, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zuo family still unconsciously paused for a while before returning the salute with some hesitation. But the look that was not very sure was withdrawn from Chu Gu, who raised his eyebrows invisibly in Liang's eyes, and after gently bowing his head, the Zuo family and his party all understood that the eldest young grandmother did not recognize the wrong person, this is indeed the daughter of the Liang family of the Zhendong General's Mansion, Liang.
At this time, the wind blew gently, and the rustle of the leaves of the willows gently echoed in the ears, like a clear stream of tinkling dongdong.
And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.
……
……
During the reign of Emperor Wen's youth, a big war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge, stunning the world Liang Hu led the only remaining 100,000 troops in Xiyin at that time, repelled the fierce wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu at that time to take the initiative to negotiate peace.
At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.
Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.
Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.
In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked death to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen, who was only eleven-year-old Emperor Wen and six-year-old King Li, so that the third prince had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poison plan would have been successful long ago.
It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.
And these are also so profound and clear in Liang's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.
Emperor Wen died, Emperor Huai ascended the throne, and compared with Emperor Wen's name of Mingjun, Emperor Huai's cruelty and mediocrity are even more ugly.
All those who had offended him were dismissed from office and sentenced to prison within a month, and none of them were spared.
Among them, although the worst cannot be regarded as the Liang family, after Liang Sixuan was convicted of capital crime and imprisoned, and the Shen family was also convicted of insulting Emperor Huai and Shen Yunchong's secret troublemakers, Liang Sixuan used the last strength of the Liang family to save their lives, and she knew everything.
And speaking of this, we can't help but talk about the King of England, Liang's expression at this time is not very good, that is the King of England! He is one of the only three kings with different surnames in Xiyin today, although the power is not comparable to that of King Li, but the King of England is also the overlord of the defense line of the Xiyin Sea with 50,000 sea divisions in his hands, and he has blocked countless invasions of the sea for Xiyin throughout the year, and he is the greatest contributor to the peace of the West Territory.
Such a hero, no matter who it is, will not ignore it or ignore it, and the same is true for Liang, but she looked at Zhong Qing in front of her, but she began to worry about her a little, after all, the daughter of the king, that is, the girl who is now being surrounded in the center of the field, almost became the person who was Qi's wife.
The British prince has a lot of heirs, but what he loves the most is his youngest daughter Tang Menglan, and Tang Menglan, as the daughter of the British king, is already the proud daughter of the sky, not to mention that she has been loved by the British king, and her personality has been raised a little rough since she was a child.
But anything that Tang Menglan likes and wants, whether it is a person or a thing, there is almost nothing that cannot be obtained.
And it is such a proud daughter of heaven who wants to be windy and rainy, and her personality is still a little rude, but in front of Emperor Wen and even Concubine Meng, she is quite loved, and her Chinese emperor will put it aside, after all, there are too many things to consider in the emperor's heart, in terms of the importance of the British king to the Xiyin Sea Realm, that Emperor Wen's love for Tang Menglan is only because of the British king.
But Concubine Meng is different.
In addition to Chu Gu and Liang, the juniors who can get into the eyes of Concubine Meng, now Liang only knows a princess of Changping and a Qi, and the rest is only Tang Menglan, the youngest daughter of the British king.
After all, if Tang Menglan is really just a proud woman with a noble status and a brutal personality as the outside world says, then how can she be favored by Concubine Meng and her old man? How can she make Concubine De and her old man have the idea of marrying Yu Qi and Tang Menglan?
Although in the end, Tang Menglan almost made Jian'an into trouble because of the words of the third princess Yang, and her relationship with Qi failed to take shape in the end, but it only made Concubine Meng have such thoughts, which can show that Tang Menglan is not at all what outsiders rumore.
It's just that Liang is very jealous of her, but the person who is even more jealous of her is Zhong Qing.
"Back then, the third princess said, 'This woman is a little rude', so that Tang Menglan, who had already nodded and agreed to have a relationship with His Royal Highness Qi, made Jian'an a storm overnight, not only ran to His Majesty to cry, but also 'coincidentally' met Princess Li, who has always been good friends with Princess Ying, in Xiaoyu Temple, and was so aggrieved that she cried bitterly on the spot, and then went into the palace with her mother, Princess Ying, to ask for peace to Concubine Feng, and she also cried in the palace of Concubine Feng......... It's just a short day, and the entire Jian'an is rumored that the third princess doesn't like Tang Menglan, and even bullies her as a mother-in-law, and finally makes Feng Guifei find a reason to have a seizure, and even Concubine Hui has been snubbed by Emperor Wen for a long time, and the third princess has not even taken another step out of the palace gate for a long time. ”
Liang looked at Zhong Qing, who was silent, and continued: "After that, if it weren't for the sudden swarming of the Haikou in the west, which caused the war in the sea to break out, Princess Ying and Tang Menglan would not have hurried back to the King of England, and maybe the things back then would not have been so simple to settle down." ”
This matter was something that even Liang, who was at the gate of the Liang family at that time, had heard of it, let alone Zhong Qing.
Compared with Liang, she was even fortunate to witness Tang Menglan's unscrupulousness even in front of the third princess Yang, in front of the third princess who made her feel so stressed in Zhong Qing's opinion, Tang Menglan could actually be so unscrupulous.
The scene at that time, even now, Zhong Qing still remembers it clearly.
Maybe Tang Menglan is the only person who can make concessions like the third princess Yang since Liang and Princess Changping, but no matter whether Liang or Princess Changping, they will not be like Tang Menglan, and the third princess Yang will tear their faces directly and completely.
Not to mention that there is Emperor Wen behind Princess Changping, it is impossible for her to ignore Emperor Wen's face, even the entire Liang family behind Liang, even if she doesn't like the three princesses of the Yang family, it is also impossible for her to act like Tang Menglan.
In this way, in fact, Tang Menglan is an outlier in Jian'an.
In today's Jian'an, there will be no one who can be as noble as Tang Menglan, and his father is also a general who guards one side, so he has not been trapped in the intricate power network of Jian'an.
No one can have anything to do with the King of England, and because the King of England is both a prince with a different surname and a general who guards one side, everyone in the court even deliberately keeps a distance from the King of England, so as not to make Emperor Dewen suspect that he has any bad intentions, then it is indefensible.
Even if Emperor Wen attached great importance to the British king, even the unwritten rule that the relatives and children of the generals guarding the border must stay in Jian'an as hidden hostages, Emperor Wen directly abolished it for the sake of the British king
But that's just a manifestation of Emperor Wen's favor to the King of England, Emperor Wen can use it, but if others dare to do this, waiting for their fate without thinking too much, they can know what it is, so everyone dare not approach this very special existence.
Therefore, wherever there is a British king, officials will subconsciously stay away from him, and most people are more afraid of the British king than respectful of him, let alone Tang Menglan?
The ability of the King of England to lead the sea division is well known to the whole country of Xiyin, but as long as the people of Xiyin are not unfamiliar with the King of England, that is, the King of England is extremely protective.
