After the next dynasty, the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived at the Meng Mansion, and Meng Yuan was so busy that he couldn't even go to Chu Nanyue to settle the account.

The Ministry of Rites finally found Meng Yuan's fault, even if it was a small place, it would definitely not want Meng Yuan to have a good time.

Although the ten expanded houses in Meng's mansion were not demolished, the people of the Ministry of Rites also looked back and forth for the omissions and asked Meng Yuan to make rectifications and repairs.

After all, Meng Yuan was at a loss, so he had to endure his temper and make repairs one by one until he complied with the regulations of the imperial court.

And because of the incident in Meng Yuan's mansion, it also gave other ministers of the court a warning.

Originally, the expansion of the ministers' mansions was not publicized, and it was not as large as Meng Yuan, which made the emperor turn a blind eye.

Although this matter was proposed by Chu Nanyue now, it was acquiesced by the emperor, which undoubtedly showed the emperor's attitude.

Although the emperor did not punish Meng Yuan, Meng Yuan must be the secretary of the military department, and if it is his turn next time, he will not have such good luck.

As a result, the ministers became more responsible, and the atmosphere in the DPRK and China changed as a result. Some people even praised Chu Nanyue, saying that it was Chu Nanyue's accidental advice that made the DPRK more clear. The Emperor was convinced.

And after a while, Meng Yuan was free, he never forgot what Chu Nanyue did to him, when the emperor summoned him in the imperial study, he could not hide his hostility towards Chu Nanyue between his words.

"Lord Meng, the military salary of the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing can be increased this month." The Emperor is commanding.

"Your Majesty, the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing probably won't need so much silver taels, Your Majesty has allocated military salaries, if it finally falls into Chu Nanyue's hands, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?" Meng Yuan said.

The emperor glanced at him: "In the past six months, I have also rewarded General Chu with a lot of money, but I heard that she has given it to her soldiers, and she has not left a penny."

The emperor was already unhappy in his heart. Meng Yuan is also too narrow-minded. Originally, Meng Yuan also showed his appreciation for Chu Nanyue everywhere.

And since Chu Nanyue pointed out one of his mistakes in public in the court, Meng Yuan did not hide his hostility, and even said such remarks in the imperial study.

"But in that way, do you know if Chu Nanyue is trying to win people's hearts?" Meng Yuan said. "Your Majesty, Chu Nanyue is a woman after all, and she has a lot of thoughts, so she is far less reliable than other soldiers."

"Are you saying that the eldest princess of Xunyang is not worthy of my trust?" The emperor's voice was cold.

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Meng Yuan was frightened.

He was the fastest for a while, but he forgot the emperor's own aunt, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang, who also entered the military camp as a woman and earned territory for Dongling.

Seeing that he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, the emperor snorted coldly: "Meng Yuan, I know what you think. Do you think that when General Chu came to admonish, he said something about your house. You hate her in your heart, that's why you say this to me in private. ”

You need to know that although the two are talking about each other, they are too different. Chu Nanyue was above the court, and he said it in public, frankly. And Meng Yuan was in private, and there was only the emperor in front of him.

And Chu Nanyue's words are well-founded, but Meng Yuan is an unwarranted guess.

The emperor was most disgusted with ministers who framed their colleagues because of personal grievances instead of discussing them, and for a while, he was cold to Meng Yuan.

"Your Majesty, how could Weichen do this? Wechen will not target General Chu, Wechen is right about things and not people. Meng Yuan said urgently.

"General Chu knows that you are wrong, and he can still intercede for you in the court, that is the real right thing and not the right person. As for Lord Meng...... It's better to reflect on yourself. The Emperor said.

As he spoke, the chief eunuch had already walked over and invited Meng Yuan out.

And Meng Yuan trembled and saluted the emperor to retire, and it was only at this time that he vaguely understood why Chu Nanyue did this.

In the General's Palace.

Tanglin Shuo was originally worried about Chu Nanyue, and he had already come to the General's Mansion to see Chu Nanyue.

And he was delayed for a few days due to other matters, but the news from the palace that the emperor was angry with Meng Yuan in the imperial study.

Tanglin Shuo couldn't help but understand Chu Nanyue's abnormal behavior, and when he came to the mansion, the worry in his heart had disappeared.

"General Chu, it turns out that when General Chu plays chess, he likes to strike first." Tanglin Shuo smiled.

"The Sixth Highness is really smart, and he can't hide anything from the eyes of the Sixth Highness." Chu Nanyue said.

They are all people who understand, and they can't hide it, Chu Nanyue also knows Dongling Shuo's worry about himself, so he simply told the reason.

"I know that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites will sooner or later move to win over." Tanglin Shuo frowned.

"I didn't expect Meng Yuan to be so ruined, probably because I felt that I had no backer behind me, and I had been encroaching on the original power of the Ministry of War, so I thought that if I couldn't win it over, I would destroy it." Chu Nanyue laughed at herself.

Tanglin Shuo shook his head and said, "Why did General Chu say that? What's more, this is Meng Yuan's own ambition, and your power is given by your father, what does it have to do with him? ”

"All in all, I have settled this matter, and His Highness Sixth doesn't have to worry." Chu Nanyue smiled.

Dongling Shuo knew Chu Nanyue's plan, so he praised: "General Chu's plan is becoming more and more sophisticated. Meng Yuan himself probably just reacted, and what he said about you in front of his father, his father would not believe it. ”

Meng Yuan was originally hiding in the dark, and he didn't know when he would appear, and he would target Chu Nanyue.

With the power of the military department, compared with Chu Nanyue, Chu Nanyue really has no advantage at all.

But Chu Nanyue's plan took the initiative to lead Meng Yuan to the bright place. put the contradiction between himself and Meng Yuan on the table.

And this contradiction, in the eyes of the emperor and the courtiers, is not a personal contradiction.

Even Meng Yuan himself could not deny that he had indeed violated the rules, and any minister in the court could use this to advise the emperor.

And when the minister who admonished became Chu Nanyue, the meaning was completely different.

Because the contradiction between Chu Nanyue and Meng Yuan intensified to a certain extent, the emperor was deeply impressed.

Chu Nanyue was even above the court, interceding for Meng Yuan, showing Chu Nanyue's single-mindedness.

As for Meng Yuan, it was completely opposite to Chu Nanyue's approach. Meng Yuan and the emperor discussed state affairs in the imperial study, did not hide their hostility to Chu Nanyue, and even openly expressed their suspicion of Chu Nanyue's loyalty to the emperor.

This undoubtedly violated the emperor's taboo.

Even if the emperor is a kind-hearted Ming Jun, when he treats Meng Yuan, even if he doesn't care about anything else, he will think about it more when Meng Yuan mentions Chu Nanyue again, and beware of Meng Yuan's intentions.

Because in the emperor's eyes, Chu Nanyue, who is impartial and upright, undoubtedly offended Meng Yuan on the issue of Meng Yuan privately expanding the mansion.

Chu Nanyue didn't have any backers and forces of his own, but he still boldly opened his mouth for the sake of the atmosphere of the Tanglin Imperial Court.

Since the emperor is quite satisfied with Meng Yuan in other matters, he finally has a knot in his heart on the issue of Meng Yuan and Chu Nanyue.

So no matter what Chu Nanyue in Meng Yuan's mouth was, the emperor would never choose to believe Meng Yuan again.
