Chapter 80: The Central Plains: Chencheng Coup (2)
Meng Yan and his entourage walked slowly on the road all the way, only fifty miles away from Nanchen City, Meng Yan rarely sat in the car and stayed with Cangshu Haoyue, but there was a special person in this car, this person was Gu Qingfeng, Meng Yan hesitated for a long time before setting off and left Su Qing in Changsha.
Xiao Huli was seriously ill and disrupted all the deployments, and Zhong Roulan was also going back to Beijing, not because she didn't trust Su Qing, but because she was worried that Su Qing would be emotionally bound at a critical moment, and Cang Shu Haoyue thought about it for a long time and decided to bring Gu Qingfeng to Chencheng, first, there were no less people around to sort out information, and second, Su Qing's fame was too great, and there were countless people who knew her in Chencheng, but Gu Qingfeng was not well known whether it was in the Gu family or in Zhengxi Mansion.
As for the matter of staying in Zhengxi Mansion, it was still handed over to Zhuo Bailing, but this time the military power of Zhengxi Mansion was thought about for a long time and decided to entrust it to Chen Zhiqing, and Ye Bohuai went to Jiangxia early as the number two person in Zhengxi Mansion to prevent the Lianghuai riot, and the person who commanded Bai Zewei chose Meng Huan, everyone knows that Meng Huan is Meng Yan's younger brother, and as Bai Zewei's commander, it is more convenient to hide people and things in Bai Zewei.
"Qingfeng, Your Majesty is seriously ill, do you think this entry into Beijing will go smoothly?" Meng Yan said lazily.
"Guogong, we had an analysis with Su Qing before we set off, and there will be three results when we return to Beijing this time, but each result is not a good result." Gu Qingfeng hugged Meng Wanshu, who was already asleep, and said softly.
"Oh, Miss Breeze said to hear it." Cangshu Haoyue was originally closing her eyes to recuperate, but when she heard Gu Qingfeng's words, she immediately sobered up.
"Madam, the first is to appease the Duke of the Kingdom and the Zhengxi Mansion, and then install all kinds of people in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Zhengxi Mansion, which is the best result; the second is to force the western government to conquer the west or go north, short the western government, and seize the power of the thirteen states; The third is to directly put Guogong under house arrest in Chencheng. Gu Qingfeng said concisely, shaking Meng Wanshu in his arms as he spoke.
I don't know why, Wanshu's child seems to be destined for herself, the first time she saw Wanshu's child, she revolved around herself, and then she would always babble Su Qing to take her to her residence to play, and she also loved this child very much, and over time, Cangshu Haoyue acquiesced, and Gu Qingfeng went in and out of Guogong more and more often, so that Meng Yan directly moved Gu Qingfeng's residence to the West Garden of Guogong Mansion.
"The first result has little effect on whether to do it or not, and the third result is impossible for either His Majesty or the Empress to do it now, and the Central Plains will not attack me before it is decided, this second result is very likely, as long as the West Mansion goes west or north, the imperial court will have the power and excuse to enter the thirteen states." Meng Yan was still talking lazily.
"Not necessarily, Xiao Yu and Sanniang will come, if Sanniang and Xiao Yu join forces to be loyal to the queen, maybe Guogong will not be able to go back to Changsha." Cang Shu Haoyue said with a smile.
"Hahaha! Madam, do you really think Xiao Yu will be loyal to the queen? Meng Yan smiled evilly.
"It's hard to say whether King Yuzhang can keep Jiangyou's capital or not, and he will be loyal to the queen, unless he doesn't want the world anymore." Gu Qingfeng's words were sharp.
"Miss Qingfeng, don't tear down the stage, my daughter is about to become yours, so you can't talk to me, nominally you and Su Qingke are under my control!" Cang Shu Haoyue said angrily.
"Madame, no matter what she says, her subordinates are just telling the truth." Gu Qingfeng said respectfully.
Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly stood up and pinched Gu Qingfeng's face, and then said: "Qingfeng girl, smile, no matter what our relationship was before, but now we are in the same boat, don't you be so serious, okay?" ”
Gu Qingfeng was taken aback by Cangshu Haoyue's actions, she hadn't been able to fully digest many people and things in Zhengxi Mansion, Cangshu Haoyue's behavior made her a little confused, it was difficult to adapt, and she subconsciously avoided it, but the small carriage still couldn't escape the ravages of Cangshu Haoyue.
"Madam, don't be like this, the prince is still there, and he is out of place." Gu Qingfeng blurted out that it was difficult for her to accept such an approach due to her family-style upbringing since she was a child.
"Shichiro! Qingfeng is angry, she will actually be angry! Cang Shu Haoyue was not angry at all, but was still clapping and applauding.
"Okay, Miss Qingfeng is not something that Su Qing can accompany you to go crazy." Meng Yan looked at Cang Shu Haoyue dotingly and said.
For a while, Gu Qingfeng's eyes were all locked on Meng Yan's body, and a trace of emotion in his heart actually rose, this is not normal, how is it possible, this kind of thought must be dispelled, but the more he suppressed the waves in his heart, the more powerful he became, he had never seen a person in a high position spoil his wife so much, and he didn't dare to imagine that such a husband and wife relationship was as interesting as a child.
Since childhood, even the daughter of the head of the family has never had the joy of childhood, Gu Qingfeng's heart planted a seed of emotional germination at this moment, but Gu Qingfeng has suppressed the growth of this seed for many years to come.
Just when Meng Wanshu in her arms woke up, the little girl's cute eyes opened and looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was crimson, and smiled, and her fleshy little hand reached out to her face and touched it gently, babbling: "Auntie, Honghong, ashamed." ”
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng hurriedly picked up Meng Wanshu and said, "Duke Guo, Madam, it's almost time to Chencheng, I'll take Miss to the carriage behind." After saying that, she quickly escaped from the carriage that made her feel embarrassed.
Meng Yan didn't feel anything, but Gu Qingfeng's demeanor and actions fell in Cangshu Haoyue's eyes, Cangshu Haoyue is not a narrow-minded person, let alone an intolerant woman, but she feels that the woman who wants to stay in Mengyan must be sincere, although Gu Qingfeng said that she was moved, but whether her sincerity can be all cast on Meng Yan's body remains to be verified, she doesn't want to become a jealous woman like Xiahou Ying, Xiao Yu has married a six-room side room after she gave birth.
"Qilang, is the arrangement over there in Shaonanguan all right?" Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly said.
"It's arranged, there's no need for fanfare, I'm just in case." Meng Yan said lightly.
Cang Shu Haoyue glanced at it and said, "Is it really just in case?" There are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers there, and even Nie Huan has been dispatched, but what I don't understand is why it is not quartz but Tong Yan who commands the troops, I don't see that Tong Yan has the ability to be the commander, let's talk about it, why? ”
"It's still Madame's vicious eyes, which can be seen," Meng Yan said with a smile, and suddenly said seriously: "Before, we all thought that Xiao Yu betrayed the Cui family's secret stake, but after the analysis of me and the two senior brothers, we also have internal problems, and the root of this problem may be among Zhuo Shuai's subordinates." ”
"You mean there's something wrong with Zhuo Bailing?" Cang Shu Haoyue became nervous.
"No, Zhuo Shuai is no problem, his loyalty to Zhengxi Mansion is unquestionable, and it doesn't mean that there are traitors in his subordinates, just that some of his subordinates may be a little radical, such as Zhuo Baiqing." Meng Yan said solemnly.
Zhuo Baiqing's style has always been very radical, in his heart Meng Yan is the one who can save the world, he privately contacted many grassroots generals and grassroots officials to launch an organization called "Flame", to promote all the ideas of Meng Yan as the main principle of action, the two Huai's affairs have not been able to advance for a long time, coupled with the secret level of the military judge supervisor, it is entirely possible that Zhuo Baiqing's gang betrayed the secret stake of the Ming Jian Division in exchange for the action of the Western Army.
Because this kind of behavior and organization involves a large number of grassroots officials and generals, if it is not guided and stopped, there will definitely be radical practices, and perhaps one day it will bring disaster to Zhengxi Prefecture.
"What do they want to do?! Crazy? Cang Shu Haoyue said angrily, Zhuo Baiqing was cultivated by her, when she forced Meng Yan to deal with Gu Yanfeng, Nie Huan and Zhuo Baiqing were the vanguard, she really didn't expect that her momentary actions would form an organization of such a scale.
"What? Regretted it? Zhuo Baiqing was raised by you personally, but you don't have to be angry, this time I brought Nie Huan and Tong Yan here to give Zhuo Baiqing a chance to lobby Zhuo Bailing, and the person behind this organization should be Nie Huan, I want to see how big their organization is. Meng Yan said teasingly.
"And then? What are you going to do with them? Cang Shu Haoyue still felt a little unbearable in her heart.
"Nie Huan is easy to do, since I brought him out, I have a way to control him, there are only two people in the entire Zhengxi Mansion who can't reason about this kind of thing, one is Yu Geng, he is stationed in Hengyang and is not easy to move, and the other is this Tong Yan, you said that Nie Huan wants to toss things in Shaonanguan, will Tong Yan take care of him?"
"Xiucai meets soldiers, it doesn't make sense, you are torturing Nie Huan." Cang Shu Haoyue said disdainfully.
"Hehe, as for their organization, they are all young people, and they will be the backbone of Zhengxi Mansion in the future, I definitely won't do anything, I plan to set up a academy based on military teaching, what do you think?" Meng Yan said what he was thinking in his heart.
"Qilang, you are going to risk the world's condemnation again, since ancient times, the soldiers have been passed down from master to apprentice, isn't it obvious that you want to smash the jobs of those soldiers when you run the academy? Besides, who do you want to be the head of this college? Who wants to be in charge? I advise you to be cautious. Cang Shu Haoyue began to have a headache, and her husband always had a lot of strange thoughts in her head.
Meng Yan thought for a moment and said, "I already have a candidate, and I am confident that he will willingly agree." ”
"Who? Who wouldn't think so? Cang Shu Haoyue asked, she couldn't imagine who would be willing to pass on the military knowledge she had learned all her life to the whole world.
"Ye Bohuai, our Ye Shuai will definitely go to work happily." Meng Yan said confidently.
Cang Shu Haoyue patted his head, and felt a terrible headache for a while, Ye Bohuai plus Meng Yan, and a Chen Zhiqing who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, the three of these brothers and sisters would not stop if they didn't turn the ancestral patriarchal law and the inheritance of etiquette upside down, "Qilang, are you planning to pull Chen Zhiqing together?" ”
Meng Yan smiled and nodded in acquiescence.
It's over, the sky is about to fall, Cangshu Haoyue climbed on Meng Yan's arm and persuaded: "Qilang, listen to my advice, this matter is slow first, at least you listen to your father's opinion, and then toss after we take Xichuan?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not so anxious, I'm just telling you, the most important thing in front of me now is to pass the customs in Chencheng, isn't it?" Meng Yan said comfortingly.
Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng's low voice came from outside the frame, "Duke Guo, Madam, there is a royal forest army from the imperial court coming in front." ”
Meng Yan and Cang Shu Haoyue glanced at each other, Meng Yan immediately changed the look that Guogong should have, picked up the curtain and looked ahead, and then turned around and said, "Madam, my brother is here, you take your daughter and Miss Qingfeng to the back." ”
