Chapter 248: The Meng Family's Purpose

Zhen Cui Zhai is still repeating the old days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info walked up to the private room on the second floor, and Helian Jun whispered in her ear, "The people inside are not easy to deal with, you should be more careful, don't show your feet." ”

Wei Yan nodded and walked in after him.

There was a middle-aged man sitting by the window, who looked a little rich, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he didn't get up, but looked them up and down.

Wei Yan took off his veil, guessing the identity of the other party, and at the same time threw a "begging for introduction" look at Helian County.

Helian Jun seemed to have just reacted, pointed at the man, and said without respect, "This is Dali Siqing, Master Meng." ”

Wei Yan was immediately stunned, Meng Renchuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, isn't that Helian County's uncle?

She hurriedly bowed her skirt and curtsied, "Master Meng is blessed." ”

Helian County and the Meng family are on a fire and water, and Meng Ge Lao once said that the Meng family has no descendants surnamed Helian, and the Meng family and Helian County will never get along. Everyone in Beijing knows about this. Meng Guangchuan, who was a general at that time, that is, the brother of Meng Renchuan and the Empress Dowager, saw that Helian County was really pitiful, and in order to give him a future, he brought him into the army and went to the border of Yumen Pass. Later, Yi Di came to attack, and Meng Guangchuan was shot with an arrow in order to protect Helian County, who was only a teenager at the time. The injury is a small injury, which is not in the way, but it is not expected that the arrow is quenched and poisonous. Meng Guangchuan, the first-class general of the imperial court and the heir of the Meng family, died outside the pass. Since then, the Meng family has been even more displeased with Helian County, and has left him outside the customs and ignored it. Incidentally, when he returned to Beijing with the chief to report on his work at the end of the year, he came to ask for a meeting, but was rejected by the Meng family. Only the Empress Dowager, who was still the Empress Dowager at that time, was very concerned about him, not only frequently announced that he had entered the palace to speak, gave many rewards, but also instructed him, "Although your mother went early, you remember, you still have an aunt, and the capital will always be your home...... Today, he and Meng Renchuan are meeting here, I wonder if the relationship between him and the Meng family has eased?

Meng Renchuan seemed very surprised by her arrival, and stared at Helian County with a calm face, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Helian Jun smiled, "This is Ben Hou's good friend, and he brought her to taste the delicacies with Ben Hou." She is Benhou's pillow person, and there is nothing she can't know. ”

Meng Renchuan seemed to be very helpless, glared at Helian County fiercely, Fang nodded, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down." ”

Wei Yan did not insist on standing aside to serve the two of them like ordinary concubines, she sat beside Helian County, her demeanor was peaceful, and in front of Meng Renchuan, a court member and elder, she did not feel the slightest uneasiness because of her lowly status.

Meng Renchuan glanced at her lightly, moved his gaze back to Helian Jun's face, and said slowly, "How are you thinking about it?" ”

Helian Jun lifted the flask, poured himself a glass of wine, squeezed it in his hand, and said with a smile, "What did you think about?" Benhou is used to freedom, and he already has a meritorious title, at this age, it should be self-reliant and able to be his own master. Why do you force yourself to squeeze into your Meng Mansion with countless rules and a lot of red tape? ”

Regardless of how ugly Meng Renchuan's face was on the other side, he drank all the wine in the cup before continuing, "Besides, Benhou's surname is Helian, not Meng!" ”

Wei Yan listened to his words, as if the Meng family wanted to summon him back to the Meng family. Is this the Meng family begging him for peace?

What's wrong with the Meng family? Meng Ge Lao made an oath in public, never allowed him to step into the Meng family, did everything to the end, let him wander outside at a young age, when he was attacked by the ministers, he never came forward to help him say a word, and now, he actually wants to recall him back to the Meng family? As a meritorious family, isn't the face the most important thing to care about? Meng Ge Lao went back on his word and went back on his word, is this appropriate?

And Helian County's attitude is too tough, right? The person on the other side, no matter what, is his elder, is it really okay to treat his uncle like this?

Meng Renchuan was choked by the junior in front of outsiders, and his already unkind face became even more ugly, "Helian County, don't be arrogant!" What is the situation now, haven't you understood it yourself? What if you have a knighthood? It's just an empty shelf! Now that you don't even have the qualifications to enter the imperial study, it can be seen that the emperor does not want you to meddle in the affairs of the court and the central government at all. You just want to be an idle marquis, with no rights and benefits, and live like this for the rest of your life? The piece of mansion that was given to you in the north of the city is notoriously bad for feng shui, and the emperor said that it was a vast land and people were quiet in the middle of the chaos. As everyone knows, it is to deceive you for a long time, and you don't understand the pattern of Beijing. The nobles' homes are mostly in the east of the city, and ten miles out of the north of the city, which is the place where the hungry people and beggars gather, according to this, what position are you in the emperor's heart! He just deceived you and had no family to rely on! It's good that you have soldiers and horses in your hands, to put it mildly, if you don't force the palace to rebel, what's the use of those soldiers and horses? Doesn't it take money to keep these horses and horses? It won't be long before you're overstretched by them, and you'll be caught in a dilemma! At that time, will you return the military power to the imperial court, or will you ask the emperor for assistance? No matter which of these two items, there is only one final result, that is, you have been stripped of your military power, your title is not guaranteed, and you are squeezed out by the ministers, and there is no way to turn for help! ”

Helian Jun smiled disapprehantly: "Lord Meng, how dare you bother with the affairs of this marquis, why don't you care about your Meng family's own affairs first?" Since the Meng family had a queen, you have been guarded by the courtiers as a thief, and Meng Ge has to retire from illness in order to show his innocence; The Meng family died a great general and cut off the military power in his hands. Now that the sons and nephews of the clan are not virtuous, there are few outstanding people, the fall of the Meng family has appeared, you are clearly looking at the soldiers and horses in the hands of Benhou, and want to pull Benhou back to the Meng family, save face for you, and revive the prosperity of the past! Is what Ben Hou said wrong? Now you are here to use your thin blood ties to contain Ben Hou, condescending to Ben Hou and saying that you will give Ben Hou some mercy and take in Ben Hou, a poor worm who is homeless and has been treated coldly? Wouldn't you be too shameless? ”

He said this in a very flat tone, but the weight of his words was extremely heavy. Wei Yan couldn't help but turn his face to look at him, only to see that the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he was still smiling very lightly. She didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, whether he had hatred or resentment? After all, the person opposite can be regarded as his closest relative, but they are too mean to him! He must have been seriously injured in his early years, right? So much so that now, he has become such a person who is good at disguise and never easily shows his true emotions to people. His relatives couldn't tolerate him and abandoned him outside the customs and ignored him, and the Empress Dowager's kindness to him was probably mostly used. No wonder he is willing to work hard for Ahsan, after all, in this world, there are too few people who are really good to him.

Meng Renchuan's face trembled, obviously suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Helian County, don't forget, although you are not surnamed Meng, your mother is the daughter of the Meng family!" It's okay if you don't want to go back to Zheng's house, but what about your mother's tablet? Just let her bones remain in that barren meadow forever? (To be continued.) )
