Chapter 743: Coming Home
Wrapped in the gray cloth is a small brocade bag, embroidered with a delicate lotus pattern, symbolizing the owner's ice and jade.
Rubbing this bag carefully, Meng Yan sat under the lamp a little sadly, and he didn't know about this thing.
Now he knew that there was such a thing, and there was a huge secret hidden in it, which was a great temptation and torment for him.
Ay!
Meng Yan sighed, this is a difficult choice.
Recalling what Shi Jing said to himself, about the cause of Emperor Xuanzong's death, he also felt that there might really be an ulterior secret in it.
Now, the old Empress Dowager Zhang is dead, Sanyang is gone, and there are not many old ministers in the court, leaving Zhang Wenbi and Hu Hu, two old ministers who can be regarded as orphans.
Zhang Wenbi is a British duke, and he has almost no intersection with him, only some business dealings.
This level is too low, even if Meng Yan visits in person, people may not be willing to come out to see him.
Hu Hui, there are too many secrets in this old guy, an old minister of the Five Dynasties, and a confidant of Emperor Chengzu.
What history has done to him is clearly written.
This old fellow, unless he is willing to open his mouth, the secrets he knows will surely be brought into the coffin by him.
Then the rest of the people who know some inside stories are Sai Xiaoyu, Guo Nu and others, Sai Xiaoyu may know more, after all, in the palace, the news is far more well-informed than Guo Nu outside the palace.
Early the next morning, Meng Yan called Tang Xiao to him, carefully instructed a few words, and then set off to return to Beijing.
Princess Minghui stayed and did not return to Beijing with him.
The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing this time was not to go home to see what was going on at home, but to go to face the saint first.
This is the process that must be passed through when the foreign Qin is sent back to Beijing.
"The envoy of Qincha Datong, General Xuanwu, and the commander of Jinyi Guard, Meng Yan, Lord Meng, are here!"
"Wechen...... Long live the Holy Lord. Hooray, hooray! ”
"Haha, Meng Aiqing, calm down!" When Zhu Qizhen saw Meng Yan, he was quite happy, and ran down from the dragon chair in three or two steps. Helped Meng Yan up, "Let me see, I'm thin and dark, but I'm more energetic!" ”
"Thank you for your compliment!"
"Hehe, quick, tell me about the things you encountered along the way, as well as your experience in Datong?" Zhu Qizhen grabbed Meng Yan's arm. He asked quickly.
"Where do you start?"
"Let's start with your arrival in Yi County!" Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said.
"Wechen obeys." At that moment, Meng Yan started from the fact that he led people to Yi County and began to investigate the case of Tang Wei's suicide.
The process of investigating the case is far from being described in the few sentences on the briefing, Zhu Qizhen listened to it with relish, and when he heard the excitement, he couldn't help but get up and applaud loudly.
"Holy Lord, improve your lunch!"
"Oops. If you don't say it, I'm hungry. Zhu Qizhen touched his stomach. Listening to Meng Yan's story of this investigation was fascinating.
"The old slave was also fascinated by what he heard, and he almost forgot to remind him, if it weren't for the reminder from the people in the imperial dining room." Kim Young-chant smiled.
"Spread the decree, prepare one more in the imperial dining room, and I will eat with Meng Aiqing."
"Holy Lord, this is not to be done. How dare Wechen dine with the Holy One! Meng Yan hurriedly stood up and said in fear.
"It's okay, I still want to hear you tell you about this Datong case, we can talk about it while eating." Zhu Qizhen shook his hand.
Most of what Meng Yan said had already been said in the briefing to the emperor. But the content of the briefing is too brief, and it is very boring to state just one fact as much as possible.
But the real-life commentary is different, it's a completely different feeling, and there are everyone's reactions in the middle, talking about the excitement, and the action.
Meng Yan stayed in Datong for a month and a half, and what he experienced could not be finished even in one day and one night.
Even if he tried to pick something interesting and biting, such as Hua Qingfang and Du Yu's archery competition, it was almost half an hour.
It was only when it came to the sunset that he was almost talking about what he was doing in Datong.
The ups and downs of this plot made this emperor, who had never been out of the capital, very enjoyable and yearning.
Cining Palace.
"The emperor stayed in the south study for a day, just to listen to Meng Yan tell the story of Datong's tenure?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, the Holy Lord was very happy to see Lord Meng, and he stayed for lunch together, from entering the palace in the morning, until this time, the two of them talked in the south study for an afternoon." Jiang Xiong said.
"What did you say?" Empress Sun raised her eyelids slightly and asked.
"The minions heard about some ......"
"Well, the mourning family knows, you go down first." Empress Sun was calm on the surface, but the corners of her eyes were already trembling, revealing a trace of shock.
The relationship between the emperor and Meng Yan is getting deeper and deeper, if this Meng Yan is the evil seed, then the problem will be troublesome.
There are some things that she can't say to the emperor at all, is this considered a cocoon?
Also, the missing concubine Du Wei Shi Jing, his wife is Princess Shunde, and Princess Shunde is the daughter of that woman, his disappearance will definitely not be so simple.
I finally have today's identity and status, and I must not lose it, if I lose the honor of the queen mother, she will be nothing.
"Jiang Xiong, use a qiē force, you must find out the horse for me and the mourning family."
"The Queen Mother's ......"
"You go out of the palace to go to the Huichang Bo Mansion, tell my eldest brother, use a qiē relationship, you must find a concubine."
"Understood, but the Queen Mother, where is Wang Weng?"
"His own ass hasn't been wiped clean yet, don't count on it!" Empress Sun snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Wang Zhen, a partner.
"Understood!"
South Den.
"Aiqing, are you with the Tatar princess?"
"The minister was sent undercover to the Tatar royal court, and I met Princess Minghui, we grew up together, and my identity was exposed, also because someone was jealous of my identity with Princess Minghui, and designed to frame me, otherwise, maybe Weichen would still be in the Tatar royal court again. Waiting for the call of the imperial court. Meng Yan explained.
"I understand, it's the hardest thing to accept the grace of a beauty." Zhu Qizhen said, "In this matter, many ministers in the DPRK and China have criticized what you have done, but it doesn't matter, I will support you." Don't be afraid of these old stubborn, false Taoism. ”
"Thank you, Holy Lord."
"Aiqing is a blessing to me, if it weren't for you, how could Min Min be pregnant with my dragon seed so quickly, you don't know, Imperial Doctor Wen has diagnosed that Min Min is pregnant with a boy." Zhu Qizhen said.
Meng Yan was stunned, can this be brought out? Count the time. Now that the fetus is not fully formed, how can we know the male and female.
"Congratulations."
"Minmin was able to get pregnant, all of them were due to the medicine you prescribed, and the method you taught, it really worked."
"This is all the blessing of the saint and the mother, and Weichen does not dare to be greedy."
"Okay, you handled the case very well this time, and investigated and punished a large number of officials who were greedy for ink. Stabilize the frontier, it should have rewarded you. Just ......"
"Wechen doesn't dare to ask for any more rewards, the saint has enough love for Wechen."
"Well, that's right, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Meng Aiqing's achievements in just half a year are greater than many people in decades. Naturally, these people don't like you when they look at you. ”
"It's still the Holy Lord's compassion for the minister."
Meng Yan came out of the palace and breathed a long sigh of relief, the emperor still seemed to trust him, at least his situation in the capital was not too bad.
"Your Excellency?" Guo Xiaochao, Jiang Feng and others were all dying, and Meng Yan was gone all day. I don't know, I thought Meng Yan asked the emperor to detain it.
"Go back." Meng Yan got into the car, a trace of tiredness flashed in his eyes, this companion is like a tiger, speaking in front of you, you will be in trouble if you say a wrong word, this day is not only the consumption of the body, but also the consumption of brain power.
The family was also anxious, Shen Cong, Cai Jin and others were waiting in the foyer, especially Guo Yue and Wen Xiaoyu, the anxious eyes of the second daughter couldn't be hidden at all.
"Your Excellency has returned home!"
The two hostesses of the house came out together.
Meng Yan stepped forward quickly, silently hugged the two women and did not speak, his heart was calm at this moment.
"Mr. Cai, hard work!"
"It's not hard, the most important thing is that the adults can come back safely." Cai Jin was also a little excited.
Now Meng Yan is a person who cares about the safety of many people, and he doesn't want to be imprisoned or displaced again.
"Is the meal ready, I'm so hungry, the taste of the things made in the palace is too light, I ate a few bites at noon, and I starved to death." Meng Yan touched his stomach and smiled.
When eating, no one spoke, Meng Yan was like gobbling up, eating with the emperor, then fill your stomach a little, you can really eat, of course, he has no scruples.
It's just that the taste of the dishes made by the imperial chef in this palace is too light, of course, the nutrition outside must not be compared, what the emperor eats, can it be worse?
However, Meng Yan was a poor stomach and couldn't stand those high-end ingredients, so he didn't eat much at all, so he was naturally hungry.
Wen Xiaoyu, who was the most curious, didn't ask anything, he was a vigorous pickle, this man went out for a trip, it was really bitter, could it be that he couldn't even eat enough?
"How's it going at home?"
"Wang Yingxue has it!" Wen Xiaoyu's words almost didn't let Meng Yan directly squirt out all the food in his stomach.
"What, Xiaoyu, don't you scare me?" Meng Yan was really frightened, just that once, how could it be so coincidental?
He has been with Wen Xiaoyu so many times, and he is still counting the time, but he is not pregnant yet, this unintentional mistake, he is actually pregnant?
He once thought that he was not crossing the time, lost his fertility, but now it seems that it is not.
"Vomit ......" Guo Yue suddenly covered her mouth and ran out retching.
"Satsuki!" Meng Yan stood up in surprise, could it be Guo Yue? Immediately, his face suddenly became wonderful.
Of the three women in the family, Wen Xiaoyu, who was the first to follow her, did not move, no, counting Princess Minghui at the base of Wolf Valley, there are four people.
"Come to my room tonight!" Wen Xiaoyu snorted, the corners of his mouth unnaturally revealed a trace of shyness, and he turned around and left.
Meng Yan is not to blame for this, she is to blame for her own stomach, you must know that she has been with Meng Yan for a lot of time and times, and now that there are two women in the family who are pregnant, if she doesn't catch up, this status will not be guaranteed. (To be continued......)
