Chapter 195: Revisiting the Events of the Year
"Since she wants to know the secret of the Legacy of the First Emperor, it doesn't hurt to tell her."
In the study, Meng Chaodui slowly sipped the tea in his hand and motioned for his two sons to drink it too.
Meng Junniu took two sips, while Meng Tang sniffed and put down the teacup.
"She is a person in the martial arts, what can she do if she knows, they still want to compete in the world? It's just a group of centrifugal rabble, not even as good as the second brother's Title Moon Sect."
Hearing what the eldest son said, Meng Chaowan asked the second son again, "What do you think?"
"Knowing too much won't do her any good." Meng Tang frowned: "There is already a demon palace who doesn't know where to come from is waiting for an opportunity to besiege her for this book, if she knows too many secrets, the demon palace will not let her go."
"And what's going on?" Meng Jun said with a smile: "But didn't my father say that she would not write the "Last Book of the First Emperor" silently if she didn't tell her the secret, no matter what kind of danger there was, it was all her own doing, so don't worry about this idle brother."
Meng Tang glanced at him and did not speak.
Meng Chaodui was still calmly drinking tea, and the old god was saying, "The secret in this book is related to the national lineage, of course, the fewer people know, the better. Although she won't participate in the competition, who can guarantee that the Martial Arts Alliance doesn't have two hearts?"
"What does the prince mean?" Meng Tang frowned at him.
"I still mean that, if you can't get her to hand over the book willingly, it doesn't hurt for this king to tell her the secrets in the book, but this king still firmly believes that only the dead will not be reduced to variables."
The latter looked at the man in front of him with a cold gaze, this was his father, who was often jokingly called a reckless martial artist by the Shi clan gate lord when he was in the capital.
However, how can a reckless martial artist attack Beijing, win the throne, and retreat after defecting from the imperial court.
"You can't touch her." Meng Tang stood up, his eyes couldn't be calmer, but his eyes were very cold when he looked at Meng Chaodui: "You don't want to move her."
"Tsk!" Meng Chaodui laughed under his son's threatening eyes, "What do you think of this girl? If you don't want to, why don't I touch her? If you have a heart, since you are a family, I will not touch her."
"I'll try to persuade her again."
"That couldn't be better."
Seeing his son go out, Meng Chaowan was still smiling, seeing that his eldest son was looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Drink tea, drink tea, can you still be peaceful when you come back all the way?"
"Where has Junbei not been peaceful in the past two years?" Meng Jun drank tea: "My father is powerful in all directions, and the *** in the north does not dare to move, so he should be honest this winter."
"That's your credit," he smiled again, "You are in the Northeast Army, and Tang'er has subdued the forces of the rivers and lakes, so it is really worry-free for my father to have your two good sons!"
Meng Jun frowned, but he was a little displeased: "Looking at the whole world, there are many soldiers, but only my father, only my Meng family can fight with the imperial court, they are all just shrimp soldiers and crab generals!" But the child didn't understand why the father still had to ...... such a good opportunity to occupy the sky."
"By the way, I heard that King Yunxiang came to Junbei, when did it happen?"
Meng Jun's words were interrupted by him, knowing that he didn't want to listen to what he was going to say next, so he said angrily: "It's been last year since King Yunxiang came to Junbei!"
Yunxiang King Zhao Feng wants to call the emperor an uncle, his father was born to the palace maid, so he is not treated well in the royal family, and finally looks forward to marrying a wife as an adult, thinking that he can be put in a foreign place to be crowned king, who would have thought that he would be riddled with illness for many years, and he would die after all.
Zhao Feng became a posthumous son, and the life of the two in Beijing was not easy.
Until another concubine, King Sui'an, called the emperor in the capital, counted the crimes of his relatives, and sent a group of brothers and sisters, but only a young Zhao Feng was left without charges.
Meng Chaodui persuaded him to win people's hearts, and the rewards and punishments were clear, so he gave Zhao Feng the title of King Yunxiang, and he did not have a fief, but only raised people in Beijing to be an idle prince.
Later, the Meng family rebelled, and Zhao Feng was implicated because of his friendship with the Meng family, and was driven out of the capital by the emperor to travel all over the world.
Last year, Zhao Feng came quietly
Junbei, afraid of being known by the emperor, hurriedly begged for some money and ran away, Meng Chaodui still felt sorry for this child.
"Oh...... So he didn't come back this year?"
Meng Jun shook his head: "I haven't heard from him for a long time, and it doesn't matter where he died."
In such a troubled world, it is not uncommon for a relative of the emperor to die, but it is rare to survive.
Meng Chaodui sighed slightly: "Don't tell Tang'er."
Ten years ago, the two big gentlemen in Majing City, one was him Meng Tang and the other was him Zhao Feng, and the two were quite similar to each other, so they were confidants of each other.
Ten years later, things are not satisfactory.
"Father, the emperor is deaf and unreasonable, and the days are coming to an end, why are you still clinging to a "Last Emperor's Testament" here? It also makes the second brother so embarrassed."
"You don't have to say it," Meng Chaowan interrupted him again, "Father knows what you're thinking, Tang'er is different from you, he is not embarrassed, he has been with his father from the beginning!"
Meng Jun couldn't believe his ears: "What does my father mean, I am not of the same heart with you?"
"You misunderstood, he and I are only one heart in that one thing, but in other things, you have always been my right-hand man!"
Meng Jun smiled helplessly: "Back then, since my father had a rebellious heart, the emperor and the group of Jing sergeants all regarded my Meng family as a thorn in the flesh, and I was struggling in the army, and they even asked me to do the work of repairing the culvert!"
"Alas, it's all gone......
Meng Chaodui also sighed, it was the tranquility before the arrival of the wind and rain, he and the emperor were only peaceful on the surface during that time, but they were tense inside, and while being vigilant against the other party, they had to be prepared to kill them with one blow.
The entire capital is divided into two factions, one is the royalist party, and the other is the new dynasty party that supports him Meng Chaodu, the two sides have secretly made countless moves, and he can't remember how many capable people died in such a confrontation.
"Why did my wife die?" Meng Jun muttered, "She was ordered to go to the northwest to encircle her uncle's family, and the emperor sent someone to assassinate her, I have never blamed my father......
Meng Chaodui looked ashamed: "I can't stand you for my father......
"The second brother's wife was born in the capital clan, and the emperor was wary that the second brother would use his wife's power to entrap the central court and weaken the foundation of the royalist party, so he sent someone to assassinate him, but how did the second brother treat his father? He only has that child in his eyes! He left the house! I want to break off the relationship between father and son with you! Break off brotherhood with me! Hasn't my father forgotten? Did he call you father when he came back this time?"
"Look at you......" Meng Chaodui patted on the table and wanted to tell his son to calm down, but he didn't have much confidence: "He blames me, and he deserves it, what he wanted to do for his father back then was not revealed to him, which caused the murder of the girl of the Liu family!"
"Father didn't reveal it, it's not that he wants to save the two of them! You said that the second brother is a pure heart and a free eagle, and he should not be dragged into this deceitful Vanity Fair! What about me? Our husband and wife are of one heart and one mind with our father, and now my father is saying that the second brother and you are one heart, which is chilling......
"I mean, when it comes to finding the Book of the First Emperor, you and I are not of the same mind!" Meng Chaodui patiently persuaded: "But in major matters, you and I are still of the same mind, you see, although your brother left home at the beginning, although he was in the rivers and lakes, everything he did was good for our foundation in Junbei!" When the rivers and lakes are stable, you and I can concentrate on dealing with the imperial court and the *** in the north! Don't you say?"
Meng Jun snorted noncommittally: "Father also gave him a lot of trade conveniences."
"If your own son doesn't give, to whom? Why don't you say that they have earned money and paid you military salaries?"
"I'm thinking about my second brother."
"You said that he was angry with me for a little childlike affection, and he didn't call me dad anymore, but he knew the importance in front of the big right and wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have helped me find the "Last Testament of the First Emperor". In the final analysis, the death of the girl of the Liu family is indeed my failure to take it through, he is angry with me, I don't blame him, if you are angry with me, I don't blame you."
"My son hated it back then! But my son hates the faint king!"
"He owes us father and son
The blood debt of the three will be doubled one day!"

At the corner door of the kitchen in the Northwest Palace, Shen Yuning, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, was leaning on the door frame to listen to a little brother dressed in a short fight.
Bai Yu and Shi Rong stood next to each other and watched the movements around them, and after the little brother finished speaking, Shen Yuning beckoned and left quickly with the two of them.
"All factions of the Martial Arts Alliance are unable to protect themselves at the moment, and it is difficult to take care of others," Bai Yu said as he walked: "It's just that the biggest Shaoyang faction was destroyed by Ji Ji, and Ji Xinyuan can't support others, and his subordinates think it's better for the alliance leader to return to Jiangnan earlier."
Shen Yuning nodded with a heavy face, she didn't expect the problems of the various factions to be so serious.
The generals who came from nowhere either attacked or outwitted, and surrounded the various factions while they were leading the elites of each faction to crusade against the Demon Palace.
Now, although the elites of all factions have returned, some sects have suffered a great loss of vitality and cannot compete with these generals at all.
"Who could these people, not from the Demon Palace, or Meng Chaodui?" She wondered, "What's in it for him to conquer the factions?"
"The subordinates feel that they have nothing to do with the Title Moon Sect and the Northwest Palace," Bai Yu said, "You think, Junbei is in Meng Chaodu's bag, if he gets the Jiangnan power again, won't he be able to force the emperor to abdicate without much effort?" I can climb to that position myself!"
Shen Yuning shook his head silently, if this is the case, what else is he looking for "The Last Emperor of the First Emperor"?
At the beginning of the Demon Palace, they could have been trapped and killed by Meng Tang and Zhou Bai.
"The Martial Arts League has sent you a message?" An easy-going voice sounded behind the rockery, startling Shen Yuning.
Meng Tang looked at her with his hands, his eyebrows were as cold as his, always with a sense of alienation, like a cloud far away in the sky.
"Hah...... I really can't hide anything from the sect master."
"This is my home, and I know everything."
