As the saying goes, literati are contemptuous of each other, and I never thought that soldiers also despise each other, Keming, look at this secret report. Meng Yan said with a smile while driving.

Fang Keming looked at it cautiously and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, General Shen Yu has always been a staff officer, we are all generals in the army, and it is normal not to be angry, Huo Hou's letter is probably the attitude of the generals of the entire military." ”

"Yu Laohu leads the cardinal, the generals of this military are naturally proud of the battlefield, forget it, don't bother to pay attention to it, how about the official meeting of the Duke of Qi?" Meng Yan thought that when he returned to Hanyang, he would have to straighten out.

"The Duke of Qi has temporarily shelved the matter of His Majesty's meeting with Emperor Ning, but the two sides have already met once, General Yan Que should have arrived in Yingzhou by now to carry out defense work, as for the rest, Hu Shuai seems to have had some verbal conflicts with Ning Jun Teng Han, but Qi Guogong reported this matter as a joke."

"Hahaha! Yu Laohu just wants to oppress people everywhere, when I and Xiao Yu were ministers in the same palace, the generals between the two sides thought that Yu Laohu couldn't get along with them, I didn't think about how many years it has been like this. ”

"Hu Shuai is really frank, but the minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, I Daxuan is a representative of the people of the world, and it is an independent kingdom, not anyone's vassal, so that you can get a head start in momentum and go down the city for the meeting between Your Majesty and Emperor Ning."

"Keming! You still talk well, you never tell lies, but I'm not used to talking like this. ”

Fang Keming smiled awkwardly and said: "Huaiying often says that I often offend people, and I have learned to get along with others, but now it seems that it is still not suitable." ”

"Huaiying is a fox, you're not, it's good to keep it as it is, by the way, you write a letter to Xuan Song, tell him not to be so nervous, as if he wants to start a war immediately!"

"Yes!" Fang Keming also replied with a smile, but then Fang Keming suddenly became speechless and stopped, and finally held back.

Meng Yan could see that Fang Keming had something to say, but Fang Keming didn't take the initiative to mention it, and he didn't bother to care.

"Keming! Let's stay in Shenqiu tonight, it's not too late to enter Yingzhou tomorrow, and after you go down, you and Shen Jue will match our itinerary again. ”

"Yes, then Your Majesty should rest first."

Meng Yan and his entourage were quite smooth, but Xiao Yu was panicked here, he was sure that Meng Yan would not come, so he was not ready to deal with it, and now Meng Yan has arrived close to Yingzhou, and the entire Daning is almost unprepared, and Yu Geng is attacking Teng Han because of this matter.

"Chu Cheng, what result did you come up with?! Tomorrow, Mengyan will be able to arrive in Yingzhou! Xiao Yu asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, Meng Yan could have arrived in Yingzhou today, but I don't know why he stayed in Shenqiu." Chen Zhuo asked cautiously.

"Humph! Shen Qiu, his mother is buried in Shen Qiu! Although Xiao Yu replied very angrily, he knew in his heart that Meng Yan deliberately gave him time to prepare, not wanting him to be too embarrassed in the world.

"Meng Yan wants to pay tribute to his mother? Chen Xiang, you immediately notify the eldest grandson to accompany us, this is our proper etiquette, remember not to talk about state affairs! Chu Cheng immediately reacted to the key issues.

Xiao Yu frowned and asked, "Prime Minister, why is this?" ”

Chu Cheng found that he was rude this time, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is good at it, the eldest grandson is the mother clan of Mengyan, if my court informs them that the eldest grandson will arrive together in the near future, one is to represent the attitude of our dynasty, and the other is to buy time for us to deal with Meng Yan's sudden arrival." ”

Xiao Yu just thought for a moment and said: "The prince is reasonable, we are not cautious people, let King Wu worship with him." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Xiao Yu didn't have the heart to enjoy the sycophants at this time, but said: "Even if you drag Meng Yan for three or five days, what decent methods can you come up with?!" ”

Chu Cheng was stunned, this question asked him about his difficulties, Chu Cheng rushed over with Xiao Yu all the way and racked his brains and didn't think of a better way to deal with it, Meng Yan's decision to meet had already given them a headache, and it was really unpredictable how Meng Yan would talk to them next, the best and most helpless way was to see the move, but this would definitely give Xiao Yu a reproach.

After thinking for a long time, Chu Cheng stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he can let Meng Yan join our dynasty in the name of talks!" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, staring at Chu Cheng with an unbelievable expression, and then smiled, this smile was an innocent smile on Chu Cheng.

"Chu Cheng, are you having a bad brain, and Meng Yan is attached?! Hum! Before the war, he insisted on opposing us when he was not as good as our dynasty, and now he has occupied most of the area south of the river, let him surrender, are you crazy or is he crazy?! ”

"Your Majesty, after the end of the reign of the Quan family, the Chen Kingdom was enshrined as Zhengshuo, you and Meng Yan are both ministers in the same dynasty as the Chen Kingdom, and the founder of the Chen Kingdom is His Majesty's own uncle, so His Majesty is orthodox, as for Meng Yan, he is just an old minister of the Chen Kingdom, so the theory of attachment should be mentioned again." Chu Cheng said it almost boldly.

Xiao Yu looked at Chu Cheng deeply, and only spoke after a while, "Chu Cheng!" You can find out this kind of thing of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, but it's really a good topic for negotiation, okay, you go down to study and study, how to carry it out, don't blame me for not reminding you that he Montessori, that is, Menghui who you call a half-master, is ahead of my Xiao Clan. ”

Meng Yan did intend to give Xiao Yu time and opportunity, Meng Yan thought that it was fair to have an open and honest showdown, and it was fair to see the moves, and of course it was indeed due to pay tribute to his mother.

"Your Majesty, Jinling has sent Xiao Yu's second son, King Lu, and the eldest grandson to accompany him, how should we receive them?" Fang Keming had to take into account the arrangement of the entire team, and also had to contact Gu Yanfeng and Yu Geng in Yingzhou, and Yanque was in charge of the security task of the entire negotiation in Yingzhou, so the task of the attendant naturally fell on Shen Jue's head.

"The eldest grandson is my mother's family, just receive it normally, as for King Lu, he is the prince of the Daning Dynasty, and accompanying me to pay tribute is just a ceremony, according to the etiquette of my dynasty, the reception is, remember, in Shenqiu, we are the masters!"

"Yes!" Shen Jue was a little nervous, since Yeling City was taken away by King Yong, he stayed up with Di Xin and others in the grassland, and then suddenly transferred to the deputy general staff during the war, and the leapfrog upgrade made him feel at a loss, he was always transparent in the General Bureau, and now he was appointed by His Majesty as an entourage, and he was flattered and couldn't describe his mood.

"Shen Jue, who is from the eldest grandson clan?" Meng Yan could see Shen Yu's nervousness.

"Your Majesty, according to the report, it is the young master of the Changsun clan, Changsun Yu, who came over, and the report says that the head of the Changsun family, Changsun Ji, is terminally ill." Shen Jue replied cautiously, and his nervousness had not been alleviated.

Meng Yan was quite surprised, he knew through the Ministry of State Security that Changsun Ji was not in good health, but he never expected that it would be time to run out of oil and run out of lights.

"When will Eldest Sun Yu arrive?"

"Your Majesty, it is reported that the young master of the eldest grandson will arrive in Shenqiu tonight, but it is unknown whether he wants to wait for King Wu of Daning outside Shenqiu."

Meng Yan thought for a while and said: "You send someone to wait outside the city, if the eldest grandson Yu arrives and invites him into the city, if he insists on waiting, he will say that he should be there as a relative to my mother, and at the time of the memorial, he will not care about state affairs, but only talk about family affairs." ”

Sure enough, Shen Jue waited for Changsun Yu outside the city, and Changsun Yu really entered Meng Yan's expected hesitation to enter the city in advance, but it was true that because of Meng Yan's words, Changsun Yu gave up and insisted on entering the city directly.

"Foreign Minister Sun Yu has seen His Majesty Emperor Daxuan!" The eldest grandson Yu was a little stiff, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, and he found that Meng Yan had aged a lot, but his expression was still as tough as ever, and his bearing during the march was more and more majestic and domineering.

"I said, in Shenqiu, the eldest grandson doesn't care about state affairs, only talks about family affection, you still call me cousin."

Eldest Sun Yu hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "My nephew has seen my cousin!" ”

Meng Yan smiled slightly and said, "Yu'er, tomorrow you will go with me to pay tribute to my mother, I have never paid tribute for so many years, and I am a little apprehensive in my heart." ”

"Uh, don't you wait for King Wu?"

Meng Yan shook his head and said, "Don't wait, the memorial service is originally a family matter, and King Lu's coming over is just a courtesy, and it doesn't matter if he goes or not." ”

"Cousin, my aunt's tomb is often repaired by my father, and the four festivals have never been missed, and my father still misses my aunt and grandmother some time ago..." Suddenly, Changsun Yu's voice sank, and he whispered: "Father misses Qingqing very much. ”

"Qingqing is not suitable for accompanying her this time, in the future, I will bring her over to pay tribute to her grandmother when the Central Plains is determined in the future." Meng Yan said with a gloomy expression, perhaps because he was getting older, Meng Yan felt more and more precious about his family.

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, the eldest grandson Yu was stunned, his eyes turned quickly, and the appearance of wanting to speak made Meng Yan feel that he might be in danger.

"There are only you and my uncle and nephew here, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

Eldest Sun Yu hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth and said: "Uncle, it is also very unexpected to be able to come with you this time to pay tribute to my aunt and grandmother, but my father has been sick for a long time and hates that he can't come. ”

"War? I don't want to, but Xiao Yu really wants to, I'm not the patriarch now, but the king of a country, do you understand? ”

"My nephew understands, it's the same as my father expected, and my father still has a question for my uncle to explain?" The eldest grandson Yu saw that Meng Yan was not angry, so he pretended to have the courage to ask.

"Your father doesn't want to be involved in the civil war, does he?"

"Yes, my father asked me if my majesty was willing to make peace, would you give it up for the sake of the well-being of the people of the world?"

"This is a question, you shouldn't come to ask me, you should ask your majesty, he is willing to work for the well-being of the people of the Central Plains and stop the war."

The eldest grandson Yu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You don't have to think so much, you just pass my words back to your father, Daxuan is not a belligerent country, but it is not warlike either."

The second day's memorial really did not wait for King Wu, and when Xiao Mu came over, Meng Yan and his party had already finished the memorial.

Xiao Mu didn't feel embarrassed, and even thought that Meng Yan was quite a celebrity, and he felt that if Meng Yan waited for him to come, it would be more like a political event.

"Little nephew Xiao Mu has seen his uncle!" Xiao Mu greeted him neatly.

Meng Yan was very surprised, this Xiao Mu was a little interesting, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Wu is polite!" The matter of the memorial service was originally a family affair, so I would not disturb King Wu. ”

"Uncle, where is this, you and my father are sworn brothers, and it is the younger generation who should put incense on the pillar for the old lady, but I never thought that my uncle had already paid tribute."

"Hehe, King Wu is polite, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will set off for Yingzhou." Meng Yan didn't want to talk to him too much.

"Obey my uncle's orders, my nephew will definitely wake up in the morning and dare not miss it!"
