Chapter 7: The Fifth Child
"Fifth son, please be seated." Meng Shaoguang sat down, took a sip of the tea given by the maid, and felt that the fifth Jue looked at him without blinking during the whole process.
Meng Shaoguang squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Jue, hooked the corners of his lips and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Those who are familiar with Meng Shaoguang know that when she squints, someone will be bad. Last time, I pitted Hua'an for 40 million taels, and this time I ...... Meng Boyan glanced at the fifth Jue, who was still happy, and silently thought that it was best that you were the fifth family, and if you had silver to carry, at least you would not be thrown out with your bare buttocks.
"I have long heard of the prestige of the young general, he went to the battlefield with his father at the age of twelve, and in August of the previous year, he fought with the Western Dynasty army in Hebei, and the whereabouts of Prince An are unknown, thanks to the fact that the young general was in danger, he was able to triumph......" Fifth Jue suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and he didn't have time to look at the faces of the people around him, so he got up and knelt down on one knee, and looked at Meng Shaoguang with a glittering gaze.
"Fifth Jue has heard the prestige of Prince An since he was a child, and he wants to follow Prince An to serve the Nan'an Army, but he can't repay his wish because of his family, and what Shicai said is not offensive! Although it is not appropriate to come here today, the sincerity of the fifth Jue can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I hope that the young general will be fulfilled! ”
Meng Boyan's face changed again and again, and when he saw that the fifth Jue, who was so stupid, suddenly looked like this, he was still relieved in his heart. King An's disappearance is a fact, and he is just an unintentional statement.
However, Meng Shaoguang twisted the Taiji jade on the palace silk around his waist and thought about something, and he didn't look like he was angry, his eyes as bright as the night sky were shining with a little light, as if he was calculating something.
After a long time, Meng Shaoguang spoke: "Shouldn't the second young master of the fifth family go to join the army?" You think joining the army is child's play?! Do you think that the 300,000 soldiers of our Nan'an Army are all joking around in Hebei?! The tranquility of Hebei, and the tranquility of the capital, the tranquility of this Dasheng are all fought by the soldiers of our Nan'an Army! The prestige of the Nan'an Army is also fought out of flesh and blood! You are a young master who admires you after listening to a few rumors? Want to join the army if you admire it? Do you want to accept it when you come to my Nan'an Army?! Going to the battlefield is a battle of life and death! Every year, how many Nan'an soldiers are buried in other places, how many families and wives are separated, they go to the battlefield to protect their families and defend the country, what are you for? For the admiration of the heart? For the prestige of the Nan'an Army? Or to say that you have face in the future, and say that your fifth young master is also a member of the Nan'an Army. Stained with the blood of dead soldiers to achieve their own prestige! Do you want to be worthy of such a prestige?! ”
Fifth Jue never thought about this, he just wanted to join the army, he just wanted to enter the Nan'an army, there was no other why. But at this moment, he seemed to understand why his eldest brother, who had always supported him, would stop him again and again. If he went to the battlefield so inexplicably, he would not be willing to die!
"Uncle Yan, send someone to send the fifth young master back." Meng Shaoguang got up and left, and the scene of the bloody battle on the third day of the eighth month flashed in her mind, making every step she took extremely heavy.
Meng Boyan watched Meng Shaoguang leave, and his heart was stirred again! This is his major general! The major general who shouldered the life and death of the 300,000 Nan'an Army and the tranquility of Dasheng!
"Fifth Young Master, please." The loss is the fifth Jue, and if it is the fifth Chen...... The head of the dignified fifth family came to serve as a soldier, and Meng Boyan felt a headache when he thought about that picture.
Fifth Chen was reading the account book in the study, and when he heard that King An sent someone to send Fifth Jue back, he couldn't help pinching his eyebrows. The heart said that this younger brother is really not worry-free, he ran to King An's Mansion without paying attention, is that place a place that can be gone casually.
"Brother." The fifth Jue came in listlessly, screamed and sat on the chair in a daze, looking lost and depressed.
Wu Chen looked funny, put down the ledger and handed over a cup of tea, "What's wrong?" Shouldn't I be happy to go to King An's Mansion and see the young general you admire, why is it like this? "How can Fifth Chen not see that Fifth Jue has been hit, presumably he wanted to join the army but was rejected by Meng Shaoguang, and sent someone to send him back, he just doesn't want to owe this favor, he has to owe it.
"Brother, am I really not suitable to be a soldier?" This was his wish since childhood, and he had always thought that he would be a good soldier until today, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Fifth Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed Fifth Jue's head, and asked with interest, "What?" What did the Major General say to you? "He has enlightened the fifth Jue countless times before, but now he just went to King An's Mansion, and he knows how to reflect. It seems that he owes a lot of favor.
Fifth Jue said it in 1510, and the more he said it, the more he felt that he was really child's play before, "The young general must be very disgusted with me." The fifth Jue said that the whole person was wilted.
Wu Chen smiled meaningfully after hearing this, and comforted Wu Jue: "The young general is right, with the prestige gained by the blood and blood of the soldiers of the Nan'an Army, she would rather not than lose a single soldier of the Nan'an soldiers. No one wants to fight, and fighting a war means sacrifice. You should study hard, what you want for the generals is not prestige, but the peace of the family and country, and the prolongation of the life of the soldiers. ”
Fifth Jue nodded silently after hearing this, and after listening to Fifth Chen's words, he felt that Meng Shaoguang definitely disliked him, so he shrank back and nested silently.
Wuchen patted him and sat back to continue reading the account book, some things can only be figured out by himself, and all others can do is guide. It's just that this Meng Shaoguang, should I say that she deserves to be the most admired major general of the Fifth Jue. Really......
The corners of Wu Chen's lips unconsciously overflowed with a little smile, with a slight indescribable meaning.
"It's well deserved."
Regardless of the fifth family, Meng Shaoguang sat comfortably in the pavilion drinking tea and admiring the moon after being full of wine and food.
Meng Boyan sat opposite Meng Shaoguang, and he really couldn't figure out why Meng Shaoguang put back such a big god of wealth as Fifth Jue, and his heart was itching like a cat scratching.
"Miss, did you really just let the fifth Jue go?" With the fifth Jue, the fifth family can't throw more rat traps to the Nan'an Army to squander money. If it's not for anything else, just for the sake of his young master not to suffer in the barracks, the silver will not be missing. Such a god of wealth, Miss is so smart, won't she just let it go.
Meng Shaoguang blinked and showed a look of sudden realization, and she said that Uncle Yan, who has always seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, why did he still drink tea with him after eating today, it turned out that he was thinking about this matter.
Meng Shaoguang put down the cup, leaned back, looked at Meng Boyan and then spoke: "The fifth Jue is not from my An Wangfu, how can I be the master of his stay or not." What's more, our Anwang Mansion can't afford him as the God of Wealth. "Even if you want to supply, you have to supply it to the Nan'an Army.
What she wants is not for the fifth Jue to come to the Anwang Mansion, but to go to the Nan'an Army 'on her own'.
If the second son of the fifth family voted for Anwangfu, if the word spreads, the emperor doesn't know how to resent Anwangfu, although it is incompatible, but everything has a degree, after this degree, it will not be good if the emperor jumps over the wall in a hurry. Besides, that would be a trouble for the fifth family, even if there is power behind the fifth family, can it still be bigger than the emperor of the dynasty.
Fifth Jue is also stupid, do you really think that no one will find out if you come in over the wall? Is this less than the people in the capital who are staring at King An's Mansion openly and secretly! Thinking of this, Meng Shaoguang couldn't help but feel sad for Wuchen, it was really not easy to have such a stupid brother.
"Is there any movement over there of the Six Princes?" The friendship between the six princes and King An's Mansion only ends with the pair of bright moon swords. If it weren't for the fact that the two swords were separated from the box when they were sent, Meng Shaoguang really couldn't have expected that the most hidden thing in the capital was not the queen, not the fourth prince, but the little-known sixth prince.
The sword was hidden without a shell, but this peerless sword showed its edge in front of him.
The six princes were born and their mothers died, and they were raised under the queen's knees since childhood, and it stands to reason that according to the temperament of the six princes, they will never compete with the prince for this supreme position. Now it seems that this is not the case, which shows how many unknown things are hidden in it.
If Meng Shaoguang still had concerns about supporting the six princes to ascend to the throne at first, then now this concern is not dissipating, but more than before. was worried that the six princes would not be moved by fame and fortune, and even if Meng Shaoguang had the ability, he could not force a person who had no intention of the throne to compete for the throne; And now what Meng Shaoguang is worried about is the temperament of the six princes. The sixth prince has been raised under the queen's knees for 20 years, and he has been dormant so deeply, this scheming forbearance is not something ordinary people can do, I am afraid that this person's impure heart is difficult to be a Ming Jun, which is what Meng Shaoguang is most worried about now.
She wants to subvert Meng Yan's dynasty, but she definitely doesn't want to fall into the world and danger, and the superior must be Mingjun, so that she can stir up this troubled water with peace of mind.
She had to meet the Six Princes in person.
"It's business as usual." Looking at Meng Shaoguang's deployment of forces in Beijing, Meng Boyan guessed some of Meng Shaoguang's plans, but Meng Shaoguang didn't say anything, and he didn't ask much.
Some things are not said, there is room for them; If you say it, it's a dead end.
"He's really calm." Meng Shaoguang raised his eyebrows and said nothing, rubbing back and forth with the Taiji jade in his hand. But there were thousands of turns in my heart, and I suddenly hooked my lips and smiled.
"Come and don't be rude, since you're waiting for us to return the gift, then give him a big one!"
