On the third day after Lianzhou returned to Mengfu, several major events had to be mentioned in mainland China, starting with Shangsheng, the king of Ji stole away from Tuni County, sneaked to Yudu, captured the remnants of the Song army, but did not report, was exposed by the prince, which caused the emperor Tang Yingfeng to be furious, and then ordered Si Bang to investigate and deal with him on the charge of "wanting to obtain the topographic map of Xichuan privately, with bad intentions", and took back the sealed map of Ni County, and cut the annual silver, ^

Immediately afterwards, the prince exposed many crimes of King Ji, accusing him of supporting the army and self-respect, being arrogant and lascivious, building a palace in Tuni County, building a large number of buildings, not to mention the Zhou etiquette, and hurting the people, which is a serious crime.

In the case of conclusive evidence, Tang Yingchuan was furious, and immediately decided to remove the title of King Ji, exile the Northern Barbarians, and not return to Beijing within ten years.

At the same time, a major event also happened in the northern neighbor of Shangsheng, Xuanyin State, which was enough to reshuffle the allocated forces, and let the court and even the court rearrange their positions.

This thing is: after seven years of exile with uncertain life and death, Prince Xuanyin and the fifth princess finally returned home safely and unscathed.

This had a great impact on Xuan Yinguo.

Meng Hui quietly listened to the report of Xue Kai, the commander of Hanwei, and said after a long, long time: "What happened to the three Song family troops?" ”

"On the way to the palace, they had already killed themselves by biting their tongues."

"They didn't say anything before they killed themselves, did they?"

"As far as their subordinates know, they have been following the young master's orders, insisting that the prince took them away, and then King Ji robbed them from the prince's mansion. None of the sentences involved our Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Meng Hui let out a soft "oh", then knocked on the table and said, "Song Jiajun has always been extremely trustworthy, but it's a pity that they can't use ...... for him."

Meng Hui didn't finish his words, paused and said, "Have you found out what is the connection between the emperor and Song Lianzhou?" ”

Xue Kai said respectfully: "The subordinates have already found out a little bit about it. %&*"; ”

Meng Hui said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

"According to his subordinates, the emperor has nothing to do with Song Lianzhou." Xue Kai said in a deep voice, "But the mother of the emperor and Song Lianzhou, that is, the once sensational Nayang beauty Shantaijie, is an old acquaintance. ”

Meng Hui smiled lightly: "It turns out that this is one of the reasons why he issued a secret order not to kill Song Lianzhou." ”

That evening, Lian Zhou was beaten by Meng Hui to Yudu Chaoluan Street to show the public, Meng Jingru knew that Lian Zhou was rescued by Tang Li, and immediately sent someone to Liwang's Mansion, secretly told that Tang Li must kill her, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, in order to prevent future troubles, but at this time Tang Yingzhu's personal Nine Cavalry Guard commander brought a secret edict, ordering Song Zheng's daughter Song Lianzhou to be stationed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and said that she must not harm her, she must be safe, and she must not be declared to the outside world that she is a descendant of Song Zheng.

Even if it is good to take into account the old relationship with Taijie, why do you have to put Song Lianzhou in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Knowing that the Song family army was killed by the Meng Mansion, and Song Lianzhou himself was almost humiliated to death by them, once such bloodshed and ruthlessness take root in this child's heart, Your Majesty, do you know what the consequences will be? Or perhaps, such a consequence is the consequence you want.

Meng Hui smiled a little coldly.

That's the case, Meng Fu didn't dare to touch Song Lianzhou, so he told those Song Jiajun that if they obeyed his orders, then he could promise them that he would never touch Song Lianzhou's cold hair, and he would let her live well.

His request was to wait until the king of Ji sent someone to Mengfu to rob them, and then provoke the relationship between the king of Ji and the crown prince. That is to say, at all costs, it is necessary to make King Ji think that the prince has taken control of the Xichuan topographic map in advance.

King Ji is Tang Yingpeng's relatively young son, young and vigorous and because of his relatives and heavy troops, and know very little about the power struggle, coupled with his disbelief in the words of his staff group, stubborn, is to do such a stupid thing as robbing people in Mengfu on the cusp of this storm, and naturally under the provocation of the Song family, there will be a rift with the cooperative relationship that is acceptable.

Before Song Jiajun died, he released words again, saying that they had been tortured by the prince's party to extract confessions, and vowed to hand over the topographic map of Xichuan, plus the people who had kidnapped the Song family army before did have the intention of running to the prince's mansion, and the prince had a lot of truth about King Ji's ruthlessness to prevent the conspiracy from being exposed, so the prince was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

The crown prince took every precaution, and he didn't expect that the Song family army would deduct the crime of robbing and killing them on his head, he thought that after the Song family army escaped from the control of King Ji, he would definitely point out to Tang Yingchuan the robbery and kidnapping of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the time came, Meng Jingru would be affected no matter what.

Meng Hui smiled, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

Xue Kai looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of him, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Meng Hui smiled lightly: "Just ask whatever you want, if you can't answer, I won't say it." ”

Xue Kai arched his hand and said respectfully: "There is no doubt about the subordinates, young master, you are Wen Taowu, you naturally have thought of the overall plan, and the subordinates obey the order, so there is no doubt about the subordinates." ”

This is to say that although he has doubts, he does not dare to ask, because Meng Hui is his master, and the master has no need to explain to the slave.

Meng Hui flicked his sleeves, changed his sitting posture slightly, and said, "If you have any questions, just ask, I never doubt the person I reuse." ”

When Xue Kai saw the young man say this, he couldn't help but open his lips slightly, was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "Young master, my subordinates don't understand, why did you put Song Lianzhou on the street, if you want to threaten the Song family army by torturing her, you don't have to use such a flamboyant method." ”

Meng Hui tapped on the table and replied, "I'm going to be so flamboyant." ”

"The subordinates are puzzled." The guard pondered for a moment, a sudden look flashed in his eyes, and said, "Could it be ......?"

"Obviously you've got this in mind, too." Meng Hui groped the head of the brush with his hand and said with a light smile.

Xue Kai nodded and said, "No wonder Young Master you would do this, instead of leaving them here, it is better to use them as a trap to trap some people with other thoughts." ”

Meng Hui smiled: "That's right, judging from Song Jiajun's reaction all along, my father and I vaguely guessed that the Xichuan topographic map may no longer be in Song Jiajun's hands, and even if there is, we have tried all methods, including forcing them to lead their daughter's life, so the road to obtain the Xichuan topographic map from Song Jiajun has been broken." His voice became a little deep, "But even if it is broken, I will fully tap the value of its break." ”

"It was the young master who used the whipping of Song Lianzhou to show the public, to lure the snake out of the hole, and invite you into the urn."

At the end, Xue Kai asked again: "But since the emperor knows that Song Lianzhou is here, he will definitely wonder if our Prime Minister's Mansion has taken down the Song family's army, but why hasn't he moved?" ”

Meng replied: "The DPRK is full-fledged, and the princes are forming parties for personal gain, and his rights are faintly restricted, so of course he has to watch them fight each other and weaken the situation." Compared to the topographic map of Xichuan, his throne is naturally more important. ”

Meng Hui smiled and said: "Look at it, whether you want it or not, when the time comes, the Jinwang Party will be pulled down this troubled water, and even the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be spared." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and then a voice came, calling, "Young Master." ”

Meng Hui frowned slightly and said, "Come in." ”

The subordinate Ah Jin walked into the room and said respectfully: "Young master, Miss Song is awake." ”

Meng Hui said lightly: "Wake up, wake up." ”

He said to Ah Jin: "I'm discussing it now, you go down first." ”

Seeing that Ah Jin was still standing there, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Meng Hui stroked his forehead and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Ah Jin said respectfully: "Young master, Miss Song's spirit is a little trance, and her behavior is contrary to ordinary people, Mr. Sun asked the young master to go over." ”

Meng Hui hesitated for a moment, then finally stood up, waved his hand at Xue Kai and said, "I'll come in a moment." ”
