"How could Meng Danqing give birth to a fool like Meng Zong? Above the court, he still wants to touch the people of my Simon family, I think he is crazy! The second son, Ximen Lang, said.

Prime Minister Simon Mamori sat in a chair, his head tilted back, his eyes closed, his old fingers rhythmically tapping on the rosewood table, and did not speak.

The eldest son, Ximen Kun, was sitting in a wheelchair and suddenly laughed bitterly.

"Why is Big Brother laughing?" Ximen Lang hates Ximen Kun laughing like this the most.

That's how he beats a child, every time he laughs, he will say something that makes Ximen Lang feel embarrassed, but the problem is that even if it makes him feel embarrassed, he can't refute it, because what the eldest brother said does make sense.

And Simon Lang is not a messy person, he will not quarrel with his eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother is really reasonable, he often chooses to remain silent.

In fact, Simon Zhensen is still quite satisfied with these two sons, he does not have many sons, and for some reason, in the early years, he only gave birth to daughters and not sons, but one Ximen Kun turned out to be a crippled leg. Later, a group of sons were born, and they could choose to choose, or these two sons were more suitable to inherit his position. In fact, the age gap between the eldest son and the second son is quite large. One is middle-aged, and the other still looks quite young.

Ximen Kun's brain is very good, and his views on problems sometimes make Simon Mason feel bright.

Ximen Kun took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup: "I think it's going to change." ”

Everyone was silent, and Ximen Kun continued: "On the surface, it seems that Meng Zong became the patriarch of the Meng family with his own efforts, but in fact, I don't think that's the case. ”

As soon as these words came out, a smile immediately appeared on Simon Mamori's old face, but he still collapsed in the chair with his eyes closed and did not speak.

Ximen Kun continued: "The reason why Meng Zong can have today is because of three objective conditions, first, Meng Danqing is too selfish and vigilant, and only cultivates the strength within the family for his two own sons, while the other elders of the Meng family are crushed to death by him. Second, Empress Dowager Cao secretly killed Meng Yang, then Meng Du, and finally killed Meng Yin, the most powerful heir of the Meng family. Third, he Meng Zong was ruthless enough. ”

After Ximen Kun's words were finished, Ximen Zhensen's hands stopped knocking on the wooden table, and put his two hands folded in front of him, and continued to listen.

Simon Lang also did not speak.

Ximen Kun smiled and said: "Second brother, what do you think is the intention of Empress Dowager Cao to kill the Meng family, and in the end only Meng Zong was left to inherit the position of patriarch?" ”

Suddenly asked to his head, Ximen Lang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Could it be that the eldest brother means that the Empress Dowager Cao has other plans?" ”

Suddenly felt that this was nonsense, and immediately saw that annoying smile on Ximen Kun's face, Ximen Lang thought about it, and said: "Since she has killed the Meng family, it can't be bad for our family, right?" ”

"Why?" Ximenkun asked again.

Ximen Lang flicked his long sleeves lightly and said: "My family's Huben army of 150,000 is stationed on the Yangtze River, and Xiao Han in Mozhou echoes us, and her Empress Dowager Cao has only 120,000 troops, how can she move us?" ”

Ximenkun shook his head and said, "Second brother, let me tell you a few things." Now Meng Zong claims to have completely controlled the Flying Tiger Army, but Zhonglang of the garrison in Mozhou has not handed over Cen Shen's tiger talisman to Meng Zong. ”

Ximen Lang said: "Cen Shen is the Mozhou army sequence, so naturally he has to hand over the tiger talisman to Xiao Han, the main general of Mozhou. ”

But he also handed over the family tiger talisman to Xiao Han. Do you know this? Ximen Kun sneered, "You say, why did Cen Shen do this?" ”

"I also feel very strange that his family is still in Luoyang."

"Yes, it's in Luoyang, but his daughter-in-law Lu Shi has now lived in the palace, and he was originally a Datong killer, and the family is very mysterious, and no one knows where his other family members are. I'm afraid that only one person knows that person is Meng Du, but now Meng Du is dead. ”

Ximen Kun nodded, and Ximen Lang fell into deep thought.

Suddenly feeling a chill down his spine, he said, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you are doubting Xiao Han? ”

"Why don't I doubt him?" Ximen Kun said impatiently: "Cen Shen just handed over the Mozhou Army Sequence Tiger Talisman to Xiao Han, why did he also hand over the family Tiger Talisman to Xiao Han?" On the surface, Xiao Han confiscated all the gate valve tiger talismans, but why didn't the Tang family hand them over? But even if the Tang family didn't pay it, what did Xiao Han do to Tang Yuan? ”

"I heard that there was a lot of trouble, too."

"But Tang Yuan just didn't pay it, and then this matter went to the emperor, but what did the emperor say? Before the emperor could make a decision, the great Sima Tang Zhen actually stood up and spoke. Da Sima came forward, and the emperor couldn't help it. ”

Ximen Lang frowned and said, "You mean, Cen Shen has broken away from the Meng family and taken refuge in Xiao Han?" But I don't know. ”

"What if Xiao Han takes refuge in the Queen Mother? Will he still tell you? ”

Ximen Lang knew in his heart that the Ximen family could run rampant in the court for 200 years, relying on something. One-third of Simon's family's money was used to gather intelligence. How can it be that those who feed them eat dry food? Ximen Kun has controlled the Ximen family intelligence network for many years, and the eyeliner he has arranged is everywhere. He didn't find it strange that he knew so much.

However, is the eldest brother's judgment right?

"Xiao Han's chivalrous heart, we knocked our heads on the ground and became Jinlan brothers, I believe he will live up to me." Simon Landau.

Ximen Kun shook his head and said, "There are some things that should not be said between our brothers, which will inevitably hurt our feelings. But after all, we are a family, and we can't talk to each other. That Xiao Han does not live up to you, it does not mean that he does not live up to the Ximen family. ”

"But I feel that I am tied to the fate of the Simon family, and the fate of the Simon family is my destiny. If my family is honored, I will tolerate it, and if my family is ruined, I will destroy it. The second son, Ximen Lang, said affectionately.

"Alright, no more talk." Ximen Mamori opened his eyes and said: "Inform Ximen Kuo, Ximen Tai, I will come to Beijing secretly in seven days, and I have something important to announce." ”

"Yes!" Simon Lang bowed his head.

After Ximen Lang left, Ximen Mason said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager Cao is going to do something to our Ximen family." ”

Ximen Kun said: "The Huainan grain and grass seized last year are still in the barracks. And secretly expand the army, there are already 200,000 at the moment. ”

"You bought Zhao Ting?"

"This imperial uncle can't buy it, but he's dead."

Zhao Ting, the director of Hu Ben, is still the emperor's uncle of the current emperor when it comes to seniority, and he has a straightforward personality.

From the time Meng Yang just died, Ximenkun noticed that something was wrong, so he ordered Zhao Ting to be controlled, and after the end of the Northern Expedition, Ximenkun had not released anyone, and secretly recruited troops.

This is also one of the fuses for Empress Dowager Cao's determination to move the Ximen family.

But Empress Dowager Cao only has 120,000 soldiers in her hands, how can she fight the enemy Ximen family?

The soldiers of the Tang family, far away in Longyou and Hanzhong, always monitor Youlu and Xishu, and must not move.
