Chapter 3085: Leaning
Meng Qingyan led hundreds of officials to shout long live, and at that moment, his heart suddenly settled down. He knew that he was not alone, and that there were teachers who would be by his side.
The former emperor is really not a caring father, he has always been careless about his children, and Meng Qingyan is all his fantasies about his father.
Now, Meng Qingyan knelt in front of him again, just like he did when he first ascended the throne.
The current Meng Qingyan is for his granddaughter, he raised it himself, his only granddaughter.
Zhao Jin immediately said, "Teacher, please get up quickly." Come on, give the old Shoufu a seat. ”
Meng Qingyan shook his head: "Your Majesty, the grass people no longer have an official position, they are just ordinary people in cloth clothes. Now kneeling here, the grass people are just a grandfather. After a pause, he kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Meng Xingci was raised by the grass people, she was bold and reckless, and she disguised herself as a man, which is really a crime that the grass people have no way to teach." For more than ten years, the grass people have not found out that Meng Xingci disguised herself as a man and was not strict in governing her family, which was actually a second crime. Meng Xingci's guilt is certainly hateful, but the grass people are also to blame, and the grass people are willing to bear all the responsibility. ”
Meng Qingyan said, and old tears fell: "Life is rare for seventy years, and the grass people are more than sixty this year, and it is not a pity to die." But Meng Xingci, she is dedicated to the country and meritorious to the country, and begged the emperor to open up on the Internet. ”
After Meng Qingyan finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily.
Everyone looked unbearable, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had one count, and almost all of them had been guided and tolerated by Meng Qingyan.
He is really a gentleman, someone once said that a gentleman cannot be an official, because officials are treacherous. As a gentleman, he couldn't deal with the deceit of officialdom, but Meng Qingyan did it. He understands the tactfulness of officialdom, is willing to give his subordinates opportunities, and is willing to tolerate subordinates who make mistakes for a while.
But at the same time, he still maintains his innocence and never changes himself, no matter what others do.
There are really such people in this world, who are dedicated to the country, who will use soft means, and also have the wrath of thunder.
He has supported Daqi through turbulent years, and it is also because of him that Daqi has the peace of the country and the people. Now the old man, kneeling before them, pleaded guilty for his only granddaughter.
How can I bear it?
Ye Xun's eyes turned red, Meng Qingyan really didn't intend to coerce the emperor to pardon Meng Xingci with affection, but he planned to take the blame with his body.
"Old Shousuke, how does this make ?!" Someone hurriedly said: "This, this old Shoufu doesn't know." ”
"However, the grass people are the heads of the Meng family, and the children and grandchildren are at fault, and the grass people, as elders, also have the fault of lax discipline." Meng Qingyan said solemnly: "The grass people have served the country all their lives and have never had selfish intentions. The grass people lost their sons in middle age, and only this granddaughter was born. The grass people are willing to replace him and ask the emperor to fulfill it! ”
Meng Xing walked to Meng Qingyan's side and stretched out his hand to help him: "Grandfather! How can you? It's all my fault, my grandfather taught me from a young age to take responsibility for my own mistakes. How can my grandfather take the blame for me? ”
Meng Qingyan looked at her, but smiled with satisfaction, he stretched out his hand to touch her cheek.
"I've never seen you look like in women's clothes, I've missed so much, I really want to see how you looked in women's clothes when you were a child." Meng Qingyan said with red eyes.
He has been open-minded all his life, but he never thought that his granddaughter would be raised as a man. He was proud and regretful that he didn't see his granddaughter when she was a child, and now she has grown up.
"Nope! It's all my fault! ”
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman appear in front of the door.
The daughter of the Langya Wang family, the wife of the Meng family, and the mother of Meng Xingci. is also the culprit of all this, it was her thought that allowed Meng Xingci to disguise herself as a man to survive in the world.
Mrs. Meng is in her forties, beautiful in appearance, and in style, with the faint arrogance of the daughter of the family.
A woman, especially a noblewoman, went to court in person.
"Mother!" Meng Xingci couldn't help but call out.
Even though Mrs. Meng burst into tears, she walked to Meng Xingci's side and stretched out her hand to caress Meng Xingci's face.
Her tears fell, crying and laughing: "My star ci is so good-looking, but I can only show it in men's clothes, it's all my mother's fault, it's my mother who is sorry for you." ”
Meng Xingci has a headache, her mother, born in a family, has been proud since childhood. She was a resolute and resolute woman, and she never learned to cry when a weak woman cried.
But she was crying now, and for her sake, she didn't know how to comfort her.
Meng Xingci wiped away her tears for Mrs. Meng, and said softly: "Mother, my daughter should thank her mother." It was the mother's quick decision that allowed her daughter not to be trapped in the back house like other women. It's a mother who let her daughter see the vastness of the world, walk all over the mountains and rivers, and live up to what she has learned. Daughter should thank her mother! ”
Mrs. Meng shook her head desperately, her daughter, who had been smart since she was a child, was as worthy of being the descendant of the Meng family as her father. She once regretted why she was not a man, otherwise she would definitely make the Meng family more glorious.
But now she doesn't think so. Her daughter is the best daughter in the world, and there is no better girl in junior high school than her.
Mrs. Meng held back her tears, she touched Meng Xingci's cheek lovingly, and said softly: "You are the best daughter in the world, and you are the pride of your mother." ”
Everyone looked at this scene, orphans and widows, and an old man, this is the Meng family. But what did they do wrong? Meng Qingyan has served the country all his life, and Meng Xingci has made great contributions, just because Meng Xingci is a man, should he die for his crimes?
Mrs. Meng turned her head and kowtowed respectfully, she raised her head to look at Zhao Jin and said, "Your Majesty, all this was a thought of the people's women back then, when the little girl was still in infancy. She's just a baby, what does she know? It is all the people's women who have made big mistakes, and they have nothing to do with her, and all the blame is borne by the people's women alone, and they have nothing to do with the little girl and the family. ”
"Meng Wang, do you think you can escape the guilt? Even if Meng Xing was young back then, she had grown up when she took the imperial examination, so it can't be said that she didn't know, right? All in all, Meng Xing is to blame! And you are self-assertive, audacious, and even more masterminded, and you will not escape the same crime! Doctor Yu Shi said coldly, paused, and said: "As for the old Shoufu, with the character of the old Shoufu, he must not know it, because he is old, there is no need to be too harsh." ”
Mrs. Meng looked at Dr. Yu Shi coldly and said, "As a mother, I forced her to dress as a man and win glory for the family, she just obeyed her mother's orders, what is wrong?" She is just being persecuted by me, and if she dares to disobey my order, it will be unfilial. She is just a filial mother, and as the mastermind, I am willing to bear the responsibility for the crime! ”
