Chapter 4 I entrust my son to you
It is said that this royal spy rarely appears, because they are only responsible for finding out all the things that the boss submitted to them, and it is good to bring them to justice, and under normal circumstances, it is necessary to involve the royal case before the secret agent can directly meet the emperor.
Meng Fan was about to leave, but he was suddenly frightened by the person behind the secret agent.
If it weren't for someone next to her, she wouldn't have been able to shout - the corpse has been cheated!
The man who hurried in front of her followed closely behind the secret agent, and his torn and patched clothes stood out in this palace, and the man's old face had long since lost his vigor, and his snow-white hair fluttered leisurely in the breeze.
Meng Fan glanced at it again, and now she was sure, she was really not mistaken, that person was ...... Father's concubine - Dong!
However, she vaguely remembered that after her father's death, her mother drove the Dong family, who had no children, out of the Meng family, and at the same time, Meng Fan understood that this woman was the only person besides her mother who knew Meng Fan's background, so her mother would never let her live.
It's just that! Now why is she alive in this palace and meeting the emperor?
And after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt a cold sweat on her back, and this matter was definitely related to her!
Seeing the woman walk in, all the doctors in the house withdrew.
Meng Fan didn't stay for a long time after watching it, and hurriedly walked out of the palace.
This time, the servant Li Yu greeted him and said, "Master, get in the car!" ”
Meng Fan's spirit was in a bit of a trance at the moment, thinking in his heart, it stands to reason that even if the emperor wanted to get rid of his opponent for his son's accession to the throne before he died, he would not use her! How should the king of Qi be distributed according to the reputation of a bully.
I really can't understand why the emperor summoned that woman?
Along the way, she thought about all the possibilities, and finally she decided...... Let it be!
In the following days, the emperor still trusted Meng Fan very much in the court, but he couldn't see anything.
It's just that Meng Fan always felt that the emperor's eyes were always on him, and finally one day the emperor summoned her alone......
This summons was not in the imperial study, nor in the pilgrimage to the temple, but in a small elegant garden where the emperor usually stayed.
After the eunuch took her in, he said with a smile: "My lord must be very valued by the emperor, this elegant garden is the emperor's favorite place, and I have only summoned General Meng before." ”
The general Meng in his mouth is Meng Fan's father, Meng Fan's father and the emperor are good brothers who grew up together, and the first credit to assist the emperor to ascend the throne was the Meng family's military flesh and blood exchange.
remembers that at that time, her characters were still written by the emperor himself, which shows the emperor's feelings for Meng Fan's father.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a very pungent smell of medicine, the tables and chairs made of bamboo were faintly yellow, and a beautiful danqing hung in the hall, and in it was a pair of children playing with stones, and the two people in the painting were laughing very happily.
Meng Fan's heart was also touched, and he was about to stretch out his hand to step forward, only to hear an extremely intimate call from behind him......
"It's Fan'er here!"
As soon as Meng Fan turned his head, he saw the emperor dressed in pale clothes and with a sickly face standing at the door with the support of the great eunuch.
The emperor did not have the fierceness of the court, and his eyes were gentle like a father looking at his child, and Meng Fan knew the courtesy of the monarch and the minister and hurriedly called: "Weichen see the emperor." ”
After she finished speaking, the emperor's withered hands took her and said, "I asked you to come here so that you can not be informal, come, and sit in the back room." ”
Saying that, Meng Fan helped the emperor up naturally, and the big eunuch on the side slowly retreated, because she had never seen her father, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she approached the emperor.
The emperor's hand patted her slightly, and said in an extremely weak voice: "I have embarrassed you for so many years, but one girl is in charge of the entire court, I can't stand your father." ”
Meng Fan was stunned, the emperor actually knew! At this time, she understood why the woman had met the emperor......
She hurriedly took a few steps back, knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "Sinner...... "She had the heart to confess, but she didn't know how to speak, and she struggled there for a long time, and she didn't dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes.
When the emperor saw her kneeling, he hurriedly came over to help her up and said, "Get up, how could I have said that I would blame you!" He coughed a little, and his hand trembled and pulled Meng Fan.
Meng Fan looked at him a little overwhelmed, and the emperor motioned for her to get up slightly, and she had to get up.
Then they went into the inner room, which was not much different from the outside, and the Emperor went to the desk and sat down, took a glass of lukewarm water, and drank it slowly.
Meng Fan was still standing, still extremely worried in his heart.
The emperor said a little lonely: "You may not know, I once promised your father...... When we are all old, we just make a glass of warm water and watch the sad things in the world. He said that his eyes were a little rosy, and he said, "But I am old, and he is gone." ”
Saying that, he tried hard to pull out a hint of a smile, but Meng Fan could see the bitterness in his heart, the rarest thing in the life of an emperor is nothing more than a confidant, thinking that at that time they must be as old as themselves, and when they were the proudest, they promised a friendship that would not be parted even if they were old, but in the end, they were alone to appreciate these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, how sad it was.
Meng Fan said: "The emperor should not be too sad. ”
The emperor smiled, put his hand not far from her and said, "Sit down!" ”
Meng Fan walked over, and when she sat down, she happened to see the scenery in front of her, which was the Prince's East Palace!
She looked back at the emperor, and the emperor pointed to the slightly curved tree, and said: "That kid is a skin, and he can't do it everywhere in literature, so he will climb a tree and catch a fish, and it will be difficult for you to teach him, but it's just ......" His pair of sharp eyes looked at Meng Fan and said: "I only believe in your Meng family." ”
"The Emperor's ......"
The Emperor leaned back in his chair calmly, and it seemed that there were so many things he wanted to say today, so many that he didn't know how to say them.
The two were silent for a moment before the emperor spoke: "I want to say that you have thought about the future with your daughter in this position?" ”
"The minister has no future, and he has never thought about it, all he has been thinking about is taking one step at a time, but fortunately, every step of the minister is steady." Meng Fan said.
The emperor smiled: "Well, you are very steady, like your father, smart but not reckless. ”
Meng Fan shook her head slightly modestly, she seemed to understand what the emperor was going to say to her, but she also relaxed a lot.
After the two of them had said something useless, the emperor turned to the main topic.
"I'm afraid I won't last long, and I'm most worried about one person...... It's my only son! He couldn't help but shake his head, and said helplessly: "This child is a little dull and a little weird taught by the queen, I really can't rest assured, the queen will take him after I die, you know?" ”
Meng Fan nodded, she roughly understood the queen's temperament, and what the emperor was worried about was nothing more than his relatives interfering in politics and emulating the Wu dynasty.
The emperor put his hand on Meng Fan's shoulder and said, "Although you are a woman, I know your great treatise on the country...... It's all good, and only your Meng family can resist Qi Wangxiang in the entire court, do you understand? ”
"The minister knows."
The emperor then picked up a book and handed it to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan glanced at it cursoryly, and was immediately surprised - the King of Qi was so bold that he mobilized a large army to move from the border to Kyoto without authorization, this was simply a dream of rebellion from the bottom of his heart!
"Weichen immediately led the Meng family army to intercept it." Meng Fan said excitedly, but the emperor smiled and said: "He must have been prepared for such blatantness, and if you go, you will actually be sent to death." ”
Then, what the emperor said made Meng Fan almost in a state of collapse, she looked at the emperor and seemed to think that the emperor was sick and confused, he was dying, isn't he tired of such a big game?
"The emperor thinks twice! The minister thinks you are overestimating the minister. ”
The emperor shook his head and said, "No, if your father did it, you must be able to do it too." ”
Who the hell is suing you, and your father is still marrying a daughter-in-law......
"I entrust that kid to you, and I hope you don't let me down." The emperor looked at Meng Fan and said: "From today on, only you and me and your mother will know about your woman, and the rest of the idle people, etc., I have the ability to make her disappear, you just need to do what I tell you." ”
"But if you can't do it, I'd better send you to your father."
"I'm willing to try." As soon as he heard that the emperor changed his tone to commensurate with me, and directly stated that he wanted to send Meng Fan to see his late father, there was no way, after all, nothing was as good as life, so Meng Fan was intimidated.
