199, the truth of the Meng clan's extermination
In the shadow of the tall and majestic palace, a figure with long sleeves and thin sleeves strolled alone towards the group. Nangong Xu has never been a high-profile person. Although he is the eldest son of the Duke of Chu, he is even one of the only remaining bloodlines of the Meng family. But his biological mother died early, and Nangong Huai was obviously not a person who would spoil his son, so Nangong Xu never had the opportunity to develop the appearance of those dazzling sons in Jinling City.
But at this time, no one would think that Nangong Xu was inconspicuous. Although he was still dressed in ordinary blue clothes, there was no difference in even the slightest difference in his hair and appearance. The gray cloak was reflected in the moonlight, and a handsome and pale face was reflected.
"Why are you here?!" Nangong Huai's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen some terrible person or thing.
Nangong Xu lowered his eyes, calmly walked over and stood not far from Xiao Qianye. Seeing Nangong Xu's arrival, Xiao Qianye was in a very good mood. sneered: "Duke Chu Guo, although you are bent on being a chaotic minister and thief, Ling Lang is a rare loyalty, worthy of being the descendant of the Meng family." ”
The green tendons on Nangong Huai's forehead twitched distortedly.
Xiao Qianye didn't care either, and asked, "Nangong Qing, what did you mean by what you said just now?" ”
Nangong Xu stretched out his hand, and there was an extra token in his hand. Most of the people present didn't know what it was, but Xiao Qianye, who was the eldest grandson of the emperor, still knew some of it. It was Nangong Huai's personal order, and Nangong Xu said lightly: "Father was too careless." ”
Nangong Huai's eyes widened in shock, "How can my token be in your hands?" Nangong Huai obviously didn't expect that Nangong Xu would have such a great ability. Not only can he instruct Qiao Yuewu that idiot to steal things from his study, but he can even get his warrant. Nangong Xu said calmly: "Because... In the Mansion of Chu State, there are always many people who still remember the old love. Moreover, as the eldest son of the Duke of Chu, it is not really that difficult to get some things in the mansion. "The reason why Qiao Yuewu was asked to get the green sandalwood box was not because he couldn't get it, but because he wanted to use Qiao Yuewu and Nangong Shu. At the same time, it is also to avoid Nangong being suspicious. But today, it has reached this point, Nangong is still suspicious or not?
"It's me who underestimated you!" Nangong Huai gritted his teeth and said. He really underestimated this son, so many years of silence made him think that he was an obedient and easy to control, it turned out that he was the most hidden person in the Duke of Chu's mansion. Without the token, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division will naturally not act, so... Outside the ringing......
"The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division naturally received their father's order. So they have now cooperated with the people of Yingtianfu Yamen and Jingwei Camp to encircle and suppress their father and the regent's men and horses outside the palace. Nangong Xu said calmly.
Looking at the appearance of Nangong Huai and Xiao Chunqi, even Nangong Huai couldn't help but want to shout for Nangong Xu, well done!
Of course, Xiao Qianye was even more happy, "Well done, after this incident... I guarantee that the title of Duke of Chu will be inherited by you. ”
Nangong Xu smiled faintly, obviously not caring. It's just that I don't know if I don't care about the Duke of Chu or if I don't believe Xiao Qianye's words at all.
Xiao Chun was almost mad, he tried every means to pull Nangong Huai into the bureau, but he didn't expect that in the end, things were bad for Nangong Huai. Is this a stealing of chickens and rice?
"Brother Nangong, you really gave birth to a good son!" Xiao Chun said sarcastically.
"Rebel!" Nangong Huai gritted his teeth.
Nangong Xu didn't care what Nangong Huai said, he just said calmly: "Father, stop it." ”
"Stop?" Nangong Huai seemed to have heard something funny, and sneered: "How do you stop?" Why don't you ask Xiao Qianye beside you, if I stop it, will he let me go? Xiao Qianye was silent, and sometimes silence itself is an answer.
"You are my son, what good can you do if you think I am dead?" Nangong Huai glared at Nangong Xu and said, "Hui'er has already split up, and Nangong Mo has already married, even if something happens to me, it has nothing to do with them." But what about you, do you think the emperor will really blame you for your loyalty? Suing the father with the son, even if it is a righteous annihilation, hehe, do you think those sour Confucians in the court will let you go? ”
"So what?" Nangong Xu asked coldly.
Nangong Huai was stunned for a moment, looking at Nangong Xu's gaze for the first time, he was a little more confused and puzzled. Obviously, he thought that Nangong Xu's grudge against him was because of the title and his preference for Qiao's mother and son, but now Nangong Xu's expression made him a little uncertain.
Nangong Xu said lightly: "Since my father already knows that your things are in my hands, why do you deliberately pretend not to know?" ”
"Shut up!" Nangong Huai's face changed greatly, and he said sharply.
Nangong Xu showed a strange smile on his face, looked at Nangong Huai and said, "Father is so excited... Are you scared? Unexpectedly... The most feared of the famous founding generals of the country is not death, but... Is it ruined? ”
For a moment, all the people on both sides couldn't help but prick up their ears. You must know that the privacy of the famous generals of the dignified Chu Guogong generation is not so easy to hear. What's more, it still involves privacy that is said to be ruined.
"I stopped!" Nangong Huai roared angrily.
Xiao Qianye was overjoyed in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Nangong Qing, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Rebel, I'll kill you!" Nangong Huai roared angrily, not allowing Nangong Xu to open his mouth at all, and pounced towards Nangong Xu without hesitation with a long knife in his hand. Although Nangong Huai's martial arts are not superb, he is also a battle-hardened veteran in the end. When he was young, he also fought calmly among thousands of troops. The idle guards may not be able to stop him.
Seeing that the blade was about to fall on Nangong Xu's neck, he only heard a soft sound, and a soft sword lightly provoked Nangong Huai's way. even made Nangong Huai unable to regain his momentum and almost fell to the ground. Looking at Wei Junmo, who was holding a sword and his face was like water, Xiao Qianye secretly regretted that Wei Junmo could not take the opportunity to take Nangong Huai.
Nangong Mo looked down at Dan Yi, who had been protected by the guards
Nangong Huai, who had been protected by the guards but was still sitting on the ground and had not come back to his senses, sighed slightly and said, "You are going to kill your own son in front of so many people, you are crazy." ”
Nangong Huai raised his head and glared at her fiercely, his eyes as if they were bloodshot.
Nangong Xu seemed to be indifferent to what Nangong Huai was doing, whether Nangong Huai scolded him or killed him, it seemed that he could no longer make him fluctuate. Nangong Xu took out a somewhat yellowed letter from his arms and asked in a low voice, "Father... For so many years, enjoying the glory, wealth, power, and honor, dreaming back late at night, have you ever had a nightmare? ”
Nangong Huai's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
Nangong Xu turned around and walked to Xiao Qianye and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Ask Your Majesty to clear the grievances of the Meng clan." ”
Xiao Qianye actually didn't know what was going on, but now in this situation, he was happy to see Nangong Huai's father and son turn against him. He raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and motioned to the people around him to take the things in Nangong Huai's hand. Xiao Qianye took it in his hand and opened the things inside to look at it, and couldn't help frowning. His face became heavy when he saw it, and his gaze that finally looked at Nangong Huai was a little more incredibly shocked.
"Nangong Huai, you are so bold!" Xiao Qianye was really shocked this time. He didn't expect that there were people as crazy as Xiao Chun in this world, no wonder these two people could come together. However, Nangong Huai was twenty years ago, and at that time, Xiao Chun was only afraid that he was still a young man who was blessed by his brother's side.
Nangong Huai snorted lightly, but the eyes of the people around him were faintly a little more ruthless and murderous.
Xiao Chun didn't care that he was temporarily reduced to a supporting role now, although he didn't know much about Nangong Huai, he still knew a little, so he was not as shocked as Xiao Qianye. Others say that Nangong Huai is like a god in his army, brave and good at fighting and not greedy for power, and rarely gets involved in court disputes. I'm afraid that even his royal brother thinks so, right? It's a pity that he already knew Nangong Huai's ambitions and scheming many years ago.
"Majesty?" The Duke of E frowned, the Queen Mother and the Empress were still in the hands of the enemy. But looking at the emperor's expression, he probably knew that something big had really happened, and it was also related to the Meng family.
The Meng family... A famous family that was once as famous as the Xie family, he made outstanding achievements in helping the first emperor expel the Northern Yuan. But before the founding of Great Xia... He was retaliated against by the remnants of the original people, and he was killed all over the house. Except for the eldest lady of the dream family, who was married at the time, the chicken dog was not left.
Xiao Qianye frowned, but still reached out and handed the letter in his hand to Yuan Chun. The veteran of the Yuanchun generation, looking at the letter in front of him, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in a lost voice: "Nangong Huai... Nangong Huai colluded with the Northern Yuan people to kill the Meng family?! ”
Everyone was in an uproar, and their eyes looking at Nangong Huai were a little more strange. People say that there is no poison and no husband, but there are really not many people who are so poisonous that Nangong Huai is here. colluded with foreigners to kill his wife's mother's family, and just now he even wanted to kill his eldest son. To know... If there was no Meng family, even if Nangong Huaizhen was brave and good at fighting, it would never be so easy to get ahead. At that time, Nangong Huai was just a relatively outstanding young general under the command of the first emperor. But there are definitely a lot of such people, not to mention grabbing a handful. It's just that since he married the eldest lady of the Meng family, the first emperor attached great importance to him because of the Meng family, and sent him to play in several important battles. There is also the Meng family secretly dredged up the relationship for him, allocated grain, grass and military supplies, so that he had no worries. This has achieved Nangong Huai's reputation of winning a hundred battles. Not to mention, the Meng family also sent the best sons of the clan to serve in the Nangong Huai army to give advice. No matter what aspect it is, the Meng family can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to Nangong Huai's son-in-law. But what did Nangong Huai do?
Is the Meng family really raising tigers?
As if feeling everyone's gaze, Nangong Huai's face became even more difficult to look at, and he sneered: "It's just a piece of paper, what kind of evidence is this?" Nangong Xu, as a son of man, framing your father is simply mad. ”
Nangong Xu lowered his eyes and did not argue.
Xiao Qianye raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Duke Chu Guo, this is not just a letter. I don't know if the emperor's grandfather has a spirit in the sky, will he be sad for him to look away. ”
Don't know a letter? Nangong Huai's pupils shrank, and he glared at Nangong Xu fiercely.
