Late at night, Meng Yuan came to Wen Kongheng's mansion alone, as he expected, this sleepless night, the lights in the other party's study were never extinguished.

A cold wind blew, and the fire candle in front of Commander Wen flickered, and his gaze gradually became deeper.

"You're here."

Wen Kongheng raised his head and saw Meng Yuan standing in front of him, he said: "I know you will definitely come, tomorrow is the year-end ceremony, Your Majesty has already ordered me to guard the outer gate, Tao Yuanlang guard the inner door." ”

With that, a bit of pain appeared on his face, and his clenched fist slammed into the flat table, causing a crack to burst into it in an instant.

"He still doesn't believe me-" Wen Kongheng's voice was hoarse, and his tone was resentful: "After so many years, Your Majesty still doesn't believe me!" ”

Looking at Wen Kongheng, who looked in pain, Meng Yuan suddenly sneered, and then this sneer turned into an unbridled laugh, and against the other party's cold gaze like a murderer, he mocked: "Wen Kongheng, do you really regard yourself as a loyal minister?" Have you forgotten all the things you did back then? ”

Wen Kongheng was shocked, and the resentment and grievances in his eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only emptiness and regret.

Slowly covering his cheeks with his hands, Wen Kongheng laughed a few times: "Yes, I almost forgot, I am the same as you, I am a rebel and a thief." ”

When the words fell, anger ignited in his eyes again, and Wen Kongheng looked at Meng Yuan coldly: "What else do you want to do with me?" ”

Meng Yuan smiled slightly: "Show you a way to live." ”

Wen Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he seemed to have guessed something, and his face suddenly changed greatly, he slapped the case, and reprimanded angrily: "Meng Yuan! You are treacherous! Did you tell Your Majesty what happened back then? That's why I ended up today! ”

Wen Kongheng couldn't help but suspect that if it wasn't for the leakage of the events of the year, why would the emperor be centrifuged by him.

It's just that after Meng Yuan heard this, his face was stunned, and then he let out a mocking chuckle.

"What's ridiculous!" Wen Kongheng smashed the table in front of him with one palm, and then strode up to Meng Yuan, grabbed the other party's shirt with one hand, and raised it high with the other, the true qi gathered in his palm, and with one palm, it was less than three inches away from the other party's face.

Wen Kongheng stopped, this palm did not fight after all, Meng Yuan did not react, and he didn't know if the other party's character was well known, or if he was conceited that his martial arts could save the day at the last moment.

Meng Yuan raised his hand slowly, pushed the iron palm in front of him aside, and said with a smile: "We have known each other for decades, what I am like, you know best, I don't care about hurting people behind my back." ”

This is not to put gold on his face, Meng Yuan is indeed "upright", he will revenge himself in person if he has a vengeance, after all, with his powerful position, there is no need to hide and hide at all.

Wen Kongheng gradually calmed down, he was not stupid, and quickly guessed the key: "Is it Cao Yuan?" ”

Meng Yuan smiled: "That dog, a dog that only wags its tail and begs for mercy to His Majesty, has been raised for decades, doesn't he know better than you, an outsider, who is his master?" ”

Wen Kongheng's face turned a little red, he was angry, he didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of this eunuch in the end, now that he thinks about it, if Cao Yuan didn't have the intention of cooperating with him from the beginning, then the bad things he did would probably be known by His Majesty the Emperor early on.

Wen Kongheng was a little panicked at first, then a little melancholy, and finally turned into a sigh.

He is not a sentimental person, after a moment of silence, he resettled, and there was no trace of confusion in his eyes: "I think you have a plan in your heart, so let me hear it." ”

Meng Yuan said calmly: "In the current situation, my chances of winning have reached seventy percent, the remaining two percent are in you, and the last one is in the sky." ”

Wen Kongheng understood the meaning of the other party's words, and he stared at it: "It seems that you must break through this palace gate." ”

"So, I have to ask the Grand Commander for your help." Meng Yuan said.

Wen Kong groaned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's difficult. ”

He walked back and forth for a few steps, and then said: "Your Majesty Outer Gate asked me to guard it, because he was suspicious of me, you know those soldiers of the forbidden army, nominally I am the great commander, but in fact, the commanders of the four gates under me may not be able to listen to my orders wholeheartedly." ”

This is an unavoidable drawback of the forbidden army, especially now that Wen Kongheng already knows that the emperor has long been suspicious of him, so how many of the commanders who call him brothers and sisters on weekdays are acting, and he is not sure.

"The Great Commander doesn't have to worry, I expect that something will happen in the palace tomorrow, and once there is chaos at that time, I just need you to open the main gate of the palace for us." Meng Yuan said.

Wen Kongheng pondered for a moment, but still frowned: "From the south gate of the imperial city to the main gate of the inner city, the distance is more than ninety zhang, the city wall is tall and flat, even if your subordinates are all martial arts masters, how many people can cross the past against the rain of arrows?" You can't get in. ”

Meng Yuan said with a smile: "The city wall is towering, I naturally know that it is impractical to fill it with manpower, and when there is chaos tomorrow, all the officials and ministers will definitely come to ask for an understanding, so we don't necessarily want to let you follow us over the wall, right?" ”

Wen Kongheng didn't understand at this moment, he said in shock: "Could it be that you have already put your hand into the forbidden army?" Among the guards of the inner door, is there your inner response? ”

"Haha, how is it possible," Meng Yuan shook his head and said: "This kind of headless thing, except for you Wen Kongheng, those commanders are all loyal and patriotic courtiers, how can they help us." ”

"In that case, how are you going to enter the palace?" Wen Kong was puzzled.

"Go through the front door." Meng Yuan said lightly.

Wen Kongheng was stunned, and then said angrily: "You are crazy! This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Are you planning to attack the Imperial City? You want to drag us to death?! ”

"It's because I don't want to, that's why I came to ask you for help."

Meng Yuan got up and pushed open the window, pointing in the direction of the imperial city, he said: "Tao Yuanlang was suddenly entrusted with a heavy task by His Majesty, with his heart, he will not live up to His Majesty's expectations, if he comes to guard the inner door tomorrow, he will ask the old man to hit the door with his head, and he will not waver in the slightest." ”

Wen Kongheng stared at Meng Yuan, he seemed to understand what the other party meant, once the wood was completed, then they could only go to the most dangerous road, if they wanted to change all this, they could only find a way to do something before all this happened.

"Whether this matter succeeds or fails, I have a big stake in it." After a while, Wen Kongheng said.

Meng Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Wen Kongheng said again: "This matter is taboo, if I do it, I will definitely be hated in the future." ”

Meng Yuan nodded again: "Not bad." ”

Wen Kongheng finally said: "I took such a big risk just to pave the way for you, does Brother Meng think it is appropriate?" ”

Meng Yuan bowed: "After the matter is completed, I will promise you the glory of the Wen family for three generations." ”

"Not enough," Wen Kongheng shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "The northwest is desolate, there are many horse thieves and bandits like mud and sand, my Wen family is willing to guard the border for the imperial court, calm the bandits, and ensure the peace of the party." ”

Meng Yuan's eyes gradually changed: "You want military power?" ”

"Over the years in Jingli, I've had enough of this kind of life controlled by others," Wen Kongheng said indifferently: "Now, I want to change my way of living, and after this matter, Jingli can't tolerate me, and I hope that Brother Meng will be successful." ”

Meng Yuan was silent for a long time, and then said one word: "Okay." ”
