He continued: "Becoming an ally with Shangsheng will be of great benefit to Turifan's future development in any case, but any forward-looking leader knows what to do in such a situation is the best choice. %&*"; ”

After Xia Wuyun said this, Zhong Liyu suddenly realized and nodded, but saw Xia Wuyun suddenly sigh, and then said with a sad face: "So, between these two countries, there is no fight." ”

Zhong Liyu was a little puzzled, if he couldn't fight, he couldn't fight, even if this made Xuan Yin miss the opportunity to profit from the war, Taifu's reaction with such a long sigh was inevitably too radical, so he also asked: "What is Taifu sighing about?" ”

Xia Wuyun was a little surprised when he saw that his emotions were unconsciously revealed, but as soon as the words came out, he said truthfully: "I am Meng Jingru, the prime minister of Shangsheng, who is sighing." ”

Zhong Liyu waited quietly for his next step.

Xia Wuyun continued: "He let Sun Nai go to Hanjiang, and through Sun Nai's friendship with Tuoba Hongzhi, he opened up the relationship with Tulifan, so that the cooperation between the two places has a very reasonable and intolerable reason, Tuoba Hongzhi will boldly raise troops, and Shangsheng will not be ravaged by the war." He left a son, and at the same time sighed, "But if Tang Yingzhu wants to investigate this matter deeply, even if Meng Jingru is a great hero, he will inevitably be punished extremely seriously for this matter." ”

He took a sip of tea, and then said: "The people under his command have an affair with foreign forces, and they have a deep relationship, even if Meng Jingru's skills reach the sky, they will be implicated." If Tang Yingzhu wants to get rid of him, this matter is a good excuse, as soon as the charge of fornicating with political enemies is settled, Meng Jingru will instantly become a traitor who everyone shouts and beats. ”

Xia Wuyun sighed again: "For the country is like this, but it doesn't end well, ^ the courtiers who serve the country but end miserably, there are all dynasties, and a heart of ice is rejected by the lord, which is really embarrassing and pity." ”

Zhong Liyu's eyes were stunned, knowing that he was lamenting himself by Meng Jingru, and he knocked on the side to stand upright, and he didn't pierce it, but with a little annoyance, he deliberately pretended to misinterpret his meaning, and said with a heavy face: "Taifu is so interested in a foreign courtier, people who don't know still think that Taifu has a great friendship with him." ”

Xia Wuyun was stunned for a moment, feeling that his heart fell, as if he had fallen into a pit buried by himself, Zhong Liyu gave him such a hat without knowing it, and he had a deep friendship with foreign powers, so he still had it, wouldn't he also be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Liyu felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Fortunately, I know that Taifu will not have anything to do with him, otherwise others will chase after him." ”

Zhong Liyu grinned, and continued: "Now Shangsheng is in a mess, although the matter of the topographic map of Xichuan seems to have been resolved, but in fact there are still dark tides, and now that Empress Xuanyin is dead, the border passes in the DPRK and China have set off storms, coupled with the frequent flooding in the south of Shangsheng, Emperor Shangsheng will naturally not be in addition to his right-hand man at this time." At that time, as soon as the conflict with Han Jiang is over, Meng Jingru can kill Sun Nai on the way back to Beijing, and then put a charge on him for fornicating with a different royal family, and Meng Jingru himself can take the initiative to admit his mistake to the emperor, saying that he is 'not good at taking care of people, and he does not know people', kill one person, and then wash away the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy with an innocuous petty crime. ”

Xia Wuyun said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a wide range of plans, which has made me very gratified, but this is only a theoretical statement, if there is a problem in the middle link, then your result will not be valid." ”

Zhong Liyu asked: "Could it be that Tang Yingyu would rather have a bad name and get rid of Meng Jingru's thorn?" ”

Xia Wuyun shook his head and replied, "In my opinion, the problem is not here, but in the Meng Mansion. After thinking for a moment, Xia Wuyun left a son, and then continued, "The youngest son of the Meng family, that is, Meng Hui, may not let his father kill Sun Nai. ”

When Zhong Liyu heard the word "Meng Hui", his calm state of mind suddenly became a little irritable, the smile on his face was lost, he frowned slightly, and then said indifferently: "Meng Hui is not a gentle person. "He's a very ruthless character.

"But he's affectionate." Xia Wuyun poured tea out of the pot again and explained, "Back then, he followed Tang Li to our Xuanyin Palace as a hostage, relying on his affection for Tang Li. "When people reach middle age, they like to look back on the past, Xia Wuyun unconsciously drifted away, and his expression became a little trance......

Xia Wuyun didn't intend to say any further, he was silent for a moment, and was about to pass by, and when he made a summary, Zhong Liyu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Tell him what happened in Xuanyin." ”

Xia Wuyun was a little surprised that Zhong Liyu was interested in Meng Hui's past, but he also had to obey the order, and said according to his words: "I remember some stubborn princes, I am more impressed by the fourth prince and the eighth prince, they like to attack these two Shangsheng children very much, because Meng Hui is beautiful, and it is privately rumored in the palace that he is a woman. ”

Zhong Liyu's eyes seemed to have waves, and he asked, "What happened later?" ”

Xia Wuyun said: "At that time, Xichuan and Xuanyin were on good terms, and the little princess of Xichuan was influenced by her father, Xichuan Emperor Yangba Dama? Hu Ergong's love, and his mother and Concubine Shu's mother are in the same vein, so she occasionally has the opportunity to enter the Xuanyin harem with her mother. I remember that it was the little princess Xichuan who relieved Meng Hui and did not let him strip and humiliate him in public, but I don't know if the princes did the same thing again. ”

He couldn't remember much about Meng Hui, so Xia Wuyun didn't mention it again. At that time, Zhong Liyu was weak and sick, recuperating in the palace, rarely going out, he was worried about his illness, and naturally he was not so attentive to things in the outside world, not to mention that they were just two children who were hostages, except for some more sensational things that caught his attention, his impression of them was really vague and difficult to identify.

"I can't remember the rest," he said. ”

"In this way," Zhong Liyu continued, "he is willing to endure all kinds of humiliation for Tang Li, and naturally he can also disobey his father's orders for Sun Nai, who has taken care of him since he was a child, so that Meng Jingru has the handle in the hands of the emperor, unless something happens, otherwise the end of the Meng Mansion will not be very satisfying." ”

This is Xia Wuyun's thoughts, but when it comes out of someone else's mouth, he always feels that something is wrong, and after thinking about it, he can't think of a reason, his eyes touched Zhong Liyu's eyes, and suddenly there was a bright light flashing in front of him, and a pair of stubborn and excessive eyes suddenly appeared in his mind, followed by a slightly feminine boy's face, and the unique faint but burning red mole on his forehead, Xia Wuyun's heart suddenly surged with a strange feeling, he always felt that that child, can change something.

However, as soon as this feeling came up, he suppressed it, and did not say anything more, but only looked at the chessboard intently, and did not think about the things that should not be thought about.
