Chapter 248: The Great Unification and the Daokou Agreement (4)
Xiao Yu was a little in a trance, why was the originally tough Meng Yan suddenly willing to meet? Is it really the family relationship between Gu Nian and the eldest grandson? It's also possible to think about it, after all, the eldest grandson is his mother, and his mother's tomb is still in Jiangdong.
"Chen Zhuo, what do you think of Meng Yan's sudden change of attitude?" Xiao Yu is still not at ease, at the moment, Duan Muyang, Chu Cheng and Xiao Han are all in Jinling, and the only person around him who helps him figure things out is Chen Zhuo.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Meng Yan may ease his attitude because he misses his mother, after all, family affection cannot be parted." Chen Zhuo couldn't guess it, so he could only answer according to Xiao Yu's emotions, it would never be wrong, and it was sad to think about it, Chen was the mother family of the Xiao family, and Xiao Yu was not so kind to this mother family.
"In any case, Meng Yan is willing to meet with me, even if his efforts are not in vain, you go and inform Changsun Ji that you can properly deepen your contact with the Mengshi clan, it is best to send a child to Chengdu as the mother of the Mengshi clan, his child is more valuable than the children of the Xiao family, I estimate that he has resistance in this matter, you go and talk to him."
Xiao Yu can't think about it so much, although he doesn't value the affairs of the East China Sea and Youdu, but he can't help but solve it, it doesn't make much sense to spend it all the time, he has already taken Jinnan, and this time the troops are not without gain, his only worry now is Yu Qingwu, he doesn't want to give up, Yu Qingwu is his right-hand man, this time he was captured because of his own strategy, he thought that Meng Yan would be distracted because of his daughter's affairs, who would have thought that this guy would vent his fire here.
"Your Majesty, the negotiation is imminent, do you want to talk about this after the negotiation?" ”
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "The decision is to meet at the crossing on the eighth day of the second lunar month, there are still four days before that day, prepare in advance, the negotiation will not be so smooth, and the matter of the eldest grandson is also a bargaining chip for our negotiation." ”
Chen Zhuo didn't say anything more, and slowly withdrew, Xiao Yu looked at no one around, and asked coldly, "Wen Jun, what do you think of your junior brother?" And what's going on with that one? I don't want him to be allegiance, I just want him to hold back. ”
Wen Jun walked out of the shadows and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't seen his junior brother for a long time, his identity is different now, and many things the minister can't guess, as for the minister, he feels that it is not the right time, and the noble man in Jinling has not let go." ”
Xiao Yu scratched his head and said, "Yang Boyu's apprentices really don't have any good people, by the way, have you ever had dealings with your master over the years?" ”
At the mention of Yang Boyu, Wen Jun immediately became respectful and replied: "The family teacher has not asked about the world in the early years, and he retired on Yunfang Island in Nanyue, and never discussed the affairs of the Central Plains with the master in the correspondence. ”
"I remember, Yang Boyu has seven apprentices, the eldest apprentice Zhong Fan disappeared in the battle of Daxuan to destroy Chu, the third apprentice Chen Zhiqing is now the head of Daxuan and the country, and the military, and the fifth apprentice Ye Bohuai is already a god-like figure in Daxuan, why has there never been news of your second senior brother and fourth senior brother?"
Wen Jun moved slightly, this is the secret of the master, but he basically will not hide it from Xiao Yu, this is as a spy consciously, said: "The second senior brother Lin Mu has always liked to travel all over the world, the last time I heard that he was still traveling around Shu, Emperor Daxuan also visited him but he didn't meet, now I don't know where to travel, the fourth senior brother Wu Shi has always been in poor health, he only cultivated the cultural context when he was young, and now he is serving the master on Yunfang Island, and fortunately he is on the master's side, and his body is barely supporting him over the years." ”
"Well, it's all a momentary masterpiece, you go and prepare, Mengyan is about to arrive, maybe he and you also have the kindness of the master?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Wen Jun just gave his hand and didn't respond to Xiao Yu's words, the teacher's kindness? I'm afraid that Meng Yan won't take care of it, the Jinyi Qilin and the Great Xuan Ming Jian Division have been fighting for many years, and it has long been an endless situation, the Qilin Wei Beiya commanded Xu Yu to make Xu Yu a person from the Gu family, and the Gu family is still the descendant of the Great Xuan, if the Gu family is second only to the eldest grandson in terms of kinship and estrangement, where can it be the turn to get his senior brother.
Xiao Yu judged correctly, it was difficult to convince Changsun Ji, Chen Zhuo tried his best to make Changsun Yu loosen, but Changsun Yu was only willing to let his adopted young daughter Changsun Qingqing go to Chengdu in the name of helping Mengyan's mother's coffin.
Originally, Chen Zhuo wanted to let Changsun Yu go, but Changsun Ji refused to die, and the conversation was about to collapse, but fortunately, Xiao Yu's response was very timely, Xiao Yu felt that both men and women were members of the Changsun family, and there was a distance for the eldest Sun Ji, but it was no different for the Mengshi family, and the adopted daughter was okay, and the current meeting with Meng Yan was very important.
On the eighth day of February, Xuan and Ning held the largest meeting at Daokou, but the two sides still retained the original negotiation lineup very tacitly, after all, the meeting between Xiao Yu and Meng Yan was private.
"Wait a minute, you're going to meet Xiao Yu, are you nervous?" Gu Qingfeng asked while sorting out Meng Yan's clothes.
"I'm not nervous, but I'm still quite nervous about seeing Qingqing, she will help her mother's coffin over this afternoon, and you will receive it for me." Meng Yan didn't know how to face this niece.
"You will also have nervous times, how did you feel when you knew that the second brother was your own brother?"
"Surprised, shocked, I was stunned at the time, I always thought that my relatives were gone, why wasn't a brother surprised when suddenly appeared?"
"That's it, didn't you get along well with each other later? Qingqing is a junior, you have to look like an elder, I am in charge, you don't want to eat with Xiao Yu today, come back to eat at home in the evening, I notified Jing Yan and Wanyu, let them have a family banquet together. ”
"Uh," Meng Yan hesitated a little.
"Okay, don't you seep in, you have to meet, don't you? Your meeting with Xiao Yu is the most unnutritious, haven't all the basic conditions been reached? Do you still want to hold on to Yu Qingwu? Gu Qingfeng said with a little sneer.
Meng Yan has a black line on his face, he always loses his temper when he is poked in the soft place, Gu Qingfeng is not a good object, so go to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was very puzzled, I don't know why Meng Yan didn't seem to like him anywhere, was it because he won a hand this time? Maybe, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "As long as you withdraw from the boundary of Yingzhou, I can guarantee that Ning Jun will withdraw from Shangzhou." ”
"Yingzhou was brought down by me, do you think I can't take Shangzhou now?" Meng Yan said coldly.
"That's boring, if you punch me in Shangzhou, I'll have someone beat you up in Luochen, besides, don't you also think that now we have to deal with foreign enemies together? Shall we reconcile? Xiao Yu said as much as he could.
"You two deal with me and let me endure one of them?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I know that I can't hide it from you, that's right, Lan'er is in Jinling, as long as we have a good chat, I invite you to our wedding, how about it?" ”
"One thing to say, you two are really shameless!"
Xiao Yu raised his leg is a kick, Meng Yan skillfully dodged it, and then the two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed, so that the guards of the two armies around were a little nervous and wanted to laugh, the two most majestic men in the Central Plains were frolicking like children, and for a moment people had an illusion, they were not dividing the land and demarcating the territory, but like children playing at home, for the soldiers who have been fighting abroad for many years, I hope that such a moment will be maintained.
Meng Yan rubbed his stomach and said, "Seriously, the matter of Kaifeng really has nothing to do with you?" Don't lie to me! ”
Xiao Yu suppressed his smile and replied solemnly: "I packed the ticket, I want to enter Heluo, and I am also the Quan Qing I contacted, but the first assassination of your son-in-law and the later Kaifeng fire have absolutely nothing to do with me!" ”
Meng Yan nodded, looking at the sunset on the horizon, a cold wind rose, he tightened his body and said quietly: "I believe you, the matter of Yingzhou and Yu Qingwu is easy to say, as long as you transfer troops to help Youji, I promise not to use troops, and I will also go to Fujian." ”
Xiao Yu poured two cups of tea, then got up and handed Meng Yan a cup, and said lightly: "Our brothers will have a battle sooner or later, but you are right, the people outside are coming, our brothers have to join forces, I believe in your promise, and you can rest assured of my promise, since I was in the south, I have calculated that you have always been only for profit, and will never hurt your people, Haoyue's affairs are like this, and the same is true of Kaifeng's affairs." ”
Meng Yan drank it all and said, "I hope it's right, by the way, thank you for the matter of the eldest grandson and my mother." ”
"It's just a matter of comfort, the old lady should have gone back to reunite with her uncle a long time ago, as for the eldest grandson, don't think too much, it's just a female doll."
"Well, it's not too early, Qingfeng said that I won't accompany you anymore at today's family banquet, let's do it in two days, and when those boys straighten things out, I'll have a good drink."
Xiao Yu didn't hold back, nodded and said, "Okay!" In two days, we brothers must have a drink! ”
Meng Yan walked very simply, without a trace of reluctance, leaving Xiao Yu alone in a daze in the cold wind, Xiao Yu was reminiscing about the past, when the two fled from the Dongyang coast to Chenjing to join their uncle with the assistance of Zhong Roulan, the two teenagers at that time, oh, not much, it should be how heartless the three teenagers lived all day, when did the gap between him and Meng Yan begin? It seems that after locking the door island, the relationship between the two is not pure, and it was not until Cang Shu Haoyue was assassinated that the three of them began to officially break up, and the conversation like that just now may be the last time for the two of them.
Xiao Yu shook his head and wanted to get rid of this emotion, no matter what, he and Meng Yan could only keep one, only in the Central Plains, he had already planned the future in his heart, maybe give him the small island outside the mouth of the river, if he likes to be called the king and emperor, just let him be there.
Seeing Meng Yan come back a little disappointed, Gu Qingfeng greeted him and asked jokingly, "Are you adding to people's blockage or not?" ”
Meng Yan squeezed out a smile in response, he knew that Gu Qingfeng was making fun of himself, but he was really in no mood for a while.
After looking at the surroundings and seeing that there was no one around, Meng Yan said in surprise: "What about people? Didn't you say a family dinner? It's already so late, they haven't arrived yet? ”
Gu Qingfeng said while untying his armor for him: "When I arrived, Jing Yan took them to talk in the side courtyard, I know that you will not be in a good mood, so I will come over to accompany you for a while, and when the children arrive, you are not allowed to cry with a face, Qingqing has just come back, even for her mother, you should have a smile." ”
Meng Yan shook his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said: "It has to be you, you are right, it is my fault that it is not as important to talk to Xiao Yu as having dinner with my own children, but it is not early, call them over for dinner." ”
"By the way, Wanyu told me that Qingqing, this kid can't accept us very well, and has been a little evasive, I think we have to go back to Chengdu as soon as possible, I feel that I will die of cold if I stay in this place, so that Qingqing can also feel the warmth of Chengdu."
"Well, soon, Huaiying will be able to sign an agreement with them in these two days, it is just a piece of paper, whether you can abide by it is all up to your consciousness, let people arrange it, let's strive to return to Chengdu before the beginning of spring, and my mother's tomb will also be buried with my father."
Gu Qingfeng suddenly kissed him on the cheek, and the back flushed...
