Zhou Yuhan hid from King Gong for dozens of days, but finally couldn't hide anymore.

The so-called thing is only three, with King Gong's current identity, he can repeatedly condescend to his dignity and visit the Zhou Mansion in person, Zhou Yuhan is no longer willing to meet him in private, and he has to give him a little face.

And Zhou Yuhan didn't intend to avoid it all the time, although he guessed King Gong's intention.

The fine ice slag fell in the snowflakes, crackling on the umbrella, making a loud noise, the guards held the umbrella, and under the leadership of the little servant, followed King Gong step by step, and did not dare to glance at the scenery in the Zhou Mansion from the corner of his eyes.

When passing by a clump of green bamboos, King Gong paused for a moment, a little smile appeared in his eyes, and the guards and servants of the Zhou Mansion he brought thought that he was going to stop and admire, but the next moment he heard him say: "Don't let Lord Zhou wait for a long time." ”

The little guy was busy and quickened his pace.

In front of Zhou Yuhan's study, the little maid made a gesture of invitation and said, "Lord Wang, please." ”

The door was wide open, and Zhou Yuhan came out to greet him when he heard the movement, and bowed his hand and said: "The lower official has missed the welcome, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

"Lord Zhou's words are serious, and this king came uninvited." King Gong smiled meaningfully.

This is the third time he has come over, and he is expected that he should not be turned away again, as he expected, Zhou Yuhan did not avoid him anymore, but ordered the porter to let the subordinates lead him directly to the study as soon as they saw him.

Zhou Yuhan is so smart, King Gong knows that he has insight into his purpose, which is just right, and it can save him a lot of unnecessary saliva.

There was a charcoal basin and an incense burner in the study, and the temperature was much higher than outside. After entering the door, King Gong took off the cloak from his shoulders for the guards to hold, and roasted his cold hands beside the incense burner.

Zhou Yuhan was already preparing hot tea and snacks in the warm pavilion next to him. said: "Lord Wang, please." ”

King Gong nodded, and followed Zhou Yuhan to lift the curtain and enter the warm pavilion like spring.

Seated.

King Gong said with a smile: "Lord Zhou is really busy, this king wants to meet, but he can't ask some questions." ”

Zhou Yuhan smiled apologetically: "The New Year is approaching, there are too many things to deal with, plus my father is unwell, and the lower officials need to be by his side." This is why I neglected the prince, and I ask the prince to forgive me. ”

"It doesn't matter." King Gong smiled and waved his hand understandingly, and then pretended to hesitate for a while. asked, "I wonder what Lord Zhou thinks of today's imperial brother?" ”

came, Zhou Yuhan said in his heart, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "How can the saint be criticized by the lower officials?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. There are no outsiders here either. "King Gong has something to say.

Zhou Yuhan sneered in his heart. King Gong is this sure that he will support him?

Covering his look, Zhou Yuhan was still hesitant.

Seeing this, King Gong knocked on the coffee table and said: "Since Lord Zhou doesn't want to say it, then this king will say that now the royal brother is unkind, stupid and cruel, and only knows how to mess with the harem all day long." Drinking and having fun is no longer the original Mingjun. ”

"......" Zhou Yuhan was silent. But it became more and more funny in my heart.

King Gong asked again: "Dare to ask Lord Zhou if he is willing to be loyal to such an emperor?" This king thinks that the matter of the father and son of the prince of Wei Guo has been taken as a warning. ”

Zhou Yuhan was still silent, and King Gong took the last dose of fierce medicine: "Lord Zhou can continue to assist the imperial brother, but I don't know what the situation of the Zhou family will be in the future." Lord Zhou, the fate of the Zhou Mansion is in your hands, you have to think twice. ”

With such an obvious threat, Zhou Yuhan could no longer remain indifferent, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan is just a mere secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how can he be?" ”

Finally got a response, King Gong was relieved, and said with a humble smile: "Lord Zhou is too modest, if it is Ming Jun who is reigning now, with your talent and ability, you will definitely not be just a scholar of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The implication is that Emperor Wanhua is not a Ming monarch, and he also implies the benefits he will promise after ascending the throne.

Zhou Yuhan fell silent again, as if he was thinking.

King Gong continued: "Could it be that Lord Zhou is willing to waste his life in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? ”

Zhou Yuhan showed hesitation, and finally said in a deep voice: "All things in the world are inhabited by those who have the ability, and the lower officials are powerless to interfere, only whoever sits on the lower official will be loyal to whom." ”

This is a euphemism, and its meaning is: I will not interfere in the struggle for the throne, and I will be loyal to whoever becomes the emperor.

Hearing this, King Gong's eyes flashed.

Although he did not achieve the expected goal, with these words, King Gong also felt that it was enough, if Zhou Yuhan really submitted to him, he would not dare to use him.

Coming out of the Zhou Mansion, King Gong got into the carriage, and the guard asked, "Does the prince want to go back to the mansion, or go elsewhere?" ”

King Gong paused slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Go to Meng Guofu, hurry slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Zhou Yuhan is finalized here, there is still one Meng Guofu left, you must know that Meng Guogong has also avoided him for many days, and it is time to meet.

The guards answered, got into the wheel, and slowly drove the car, moving forward steadily.

The Zhou Mansion was some distance away from the Meng Mansion, and when the carriage arrived at the Meng Mansion, King Gong estimated that Meng Guogong should have received the news, so he got off the carriage directly and arrived in front of the main gate of the Meng Mansion.

The guard said, "King Gong has arrived." ”

The guards of Meng Guofu hurriedly saluted, welcomed King Gong into the door, and hurriedly went in to report.

As King Gong expected, Meng Guogong did get the news, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, if you don't want to see it, don't see it." Meng Chengyan said.

Meng Guogong shook his head and said, "What should come is always coming, even if Meng Guofu has a life talisman, if you are too fearless to anger King Gong, we still can't please us." ”

It stands to reason that King Gong is the prince, no matter who he goes to, the family should open the front door to greet him, and he said that he was sick and rejected King Gong several times, King Gong can endure it until now, which has been beyond his expectations, and now that the Zhou Mansion has compromised, he can no longer insist alone. What's more, in order to show respect and respect, King Gong sends someone to send a prayer post every time, and he is not too ignorant.

Meng Guogong sighed faintly and asked Meng Sanshao beside him: "He Yun, grandpa is old and ignorant, but you can tell me, whose world will be in the future?" ”

In front of his grandfather and father, Meng Sanshao lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head with a respectful look, and when he heard this, he replied respectfully: "My grandson thinks that this world is the world of the people of Limin, who is the Ming Jun, grandpa must have a scale in his heart." ”

"What if grandpa's heart is wrong on the scale?" Meng Guogong asked again.

"The rise and fall of Meng Guofu is tied to the father's body, this is not to let the father take Meng Guofu as the first everywhere, but our children are proud of their father's glory and humiliation, and I only hope that my father will not make a decision that will insult his life's reputation, and his son is not talented, and he is willing to share the glory and disgrace with his father." Without waiting for Meng Sanshao to reply, Meng Chengyan arched his hand and said earnestly.

"I am willing to share the glory and disgrace with my grandfather." Meng Sanshao also arched his hand and said.

"Good, good!" Meng Guogong's eyes were hot, and he said two good, the first one was moved, and the latter was impassioned.

"Wait for me to meet King Gong!" Meng Guogong seemed to be more than ten years younger in an instant, and his every move was full of pride, as if he had returned to the years when he fought on the battlefield with the founding emperor.

In the main hall of Meng Guofu, King Gong sat upright, holding the tea cup in his left hand, holding the lid of the cup in his right hand, and gently skimming off the foam on the tea surface.

Meng Guogong led his eldest son and grandson into the door, and the three of them bowed together: "See the prince." ”

"You don't have to be polite." King Gong laughed, straightened his sleeves, and went straight to the point, saying: "Presumably Meng Guogong has already guessed the intention of this king, and this king doesn't want to talk nonsense, so Meng Guogong will give it a good time." ”

"......" Meng Guogong stared at his face, a little surprised.

Meng Chengyan glanced at his father, a little worried in his heart, Meng San saw it rarely, and gave him a comforting look.

After a while, Meng Guogong arched his hand and said: "The old minister is very old, I am afraid that he will live up to the high hopes of the prince." ”

"Oh?" King Gong raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Meng Chengyan and Meng Sanshao, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if Meng Guogong feels overwhelmed, he can return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life, I believe that the prince and Meng Sanshao will be able to glorify the lintel of Meng Guofu." ”

Meng Chengyan showed a look of panic on his face, and arched his hand and said: "The prince has passed the award, and the lower officials have no great ambitions, if the father returns to his hometown to live for the rest of his life, the lower officials will put down everything and return to their hometowns to support and serve their parents." ”

It's clear, I'm not going to do things for you.

Hearing this, King Gong showed a look of surprise and said, "Do you know what Lord Zhou Yuhan Zhou said?" ”

Meng Chengyan was about to answer, but Meng Guogong stopped him and said, "Lord Zhou is Lord Zhou, and the lower official is the lower official, why does the prince generalize the two of us?" ”

"Lord Zhou is Meng Guogong's nephew, Meng Guogong calls him an adult, isn't it too foreign?" King Gong suddenly smiled and said.

Meng Guogong's face did not change, and said: "The lower officials are just talking about things. ”

"Then can you ask Meng Guo to announce the reason for this king, isn't it because of King Jin?" King Gong lost a smile on his face, and asked again: "Isn't it because King Jin is the son-in-law of Meng Guogong that Meng Guogong rejected this king?" ”

King Gong had long expected that Meng Guogong's old bone was not easy to gnaw, after all, Meng Guogong was different from Zhou Yuhan, King Jin was Meng Guogong's son-in-law, even if Meng Guogong didn't want to be a son-in-law, he had to take care of face, but unexpectedly, Meng Guogong refused so simply.

Did they really think that he would not dare to touch the Meng Guofu because of his lack of impermanence?

King Gong squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Meng Sanshao, and said, "This king hopes that Meng Guogong will think about it again, after all, Meng Sanshao is still young, and it would be a pity if he buried his talent like this." ”

"Thank you for your love." Meng Sanshao bowed his hand slowly and methodically, "Xiaguan has always longed for the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. ”

"It seems that Meng Guogong's family has made up their minds, and since this is the case, this king will not say more." King Gong sneered, Yin Owl's gaze flashed over the three members of the Meng family, and said, "Don't think that with the life-saving talisman of impermanence, you can be unscrupulous, and this king's patience is also limited." This king doesn't believe it, only you, the Meng family, know the whereabouts of Shao Impermanence! ”

Meng Sanshao smiled fearlessly and said, "The prince can give it a try." ”

King Gong's face changed, and he finally brushed his sleeves away. (To be continued......)
