Chapter 299: It's My Promise to You
"We grew up together since childhood, and he relied on my house all the year round, so he regarded himself as the third eldest of the Meng family." Meng Tang explained and recalled the past.
In his memory, Zhao Feng does not have the slightest royal shelf, his personality is cool and frank, although he intends to please him in front of him, but he is not humble or humble, otherwise he would not be friends with this kind of person.
When the two became friends in the real sense, this King Yunxiang was more like a sibling brother to him, half intimate and casual, and even when he was fifteen years old, Zhao Feng was forcibly asked for a virgin in the palace to marry him, he didn't dare to say anything, only told the truth to this "second brother", and begged him to settle down.
This is a little secret between the two "brothers", and it is also a sign of mutual protection and trust.
It's just that what he never expected was that Zhao Feng, who he thought he knew very well, the King of Yunxiang who was driven out of the capital and wandered the world like a beggar, would become the second person to pull Zhao Ying off the throne after his father Meng Chaodu.
Liu Changlai wrote that King Yunxiang secretly returned to Beijing, and on the day he returned to the palace, the emperor ordered the government of Gyeonggi Prefecture to send guards from the capital to besiege the palace of King Yunxiang, but this order was not executed.
At this point, Liu Chang discovered that as early as when he didn't know it, most of the scholars and officials in the capital had already joined Zhao Feng's disciples, and secretly attracted other people to return to Shun.
The emperor ordered Zhao Feng to enter the palace to meet him, thinking that he would be more auspicious for this, but because of the pressure from the old scholars at the palace gate, Zhao Ying left Zhao Feng until late at night and had to release him out of the palace again.
Liu Chang described that it was freezing that day, and there were many older generations of the old warrior clan who were ancient and rare, but everyone seemed to have agreed, and no one flinched a step, even if they fought for their lives, they had to let Zhao Feng out of the palace. new
It was also from this day that Zhao Feng responded to all calls in Beijing, and the 50,000 troops in Beijing were also under his full control.
Only 5,000 forbidden troops are still guarding the emperor in the palace, and it is said that the emperor has issued an order to order the Jiangnan soldiers to return to Beijing to rescue them, but they don't know if they will have time.
In the end, Liu Chang asked him what the king of the northwest was planning, and if he wanted to chase the deer, the time had come.
When Liu Chang wrote this letter, Meng Chaodui was not dead, and the prince Meng Jun did not approach the capital.
"The last time I saw this King of Yunxiang...... I didn't see him having such a city." Shen Yuning handed the letter to Meng Tang: "If you can take the officials of the capital for your own use, how can it be done overnight, I'm afraid that the foreshadowing has already been laid."
"I only know that he has a high spirit," the man sighed softly, "he was not valued by Zhao Ying in Beijing back then, but whenever Zhao Ying was displeased, he would drag him into the palace and stand in the rules, scolding him for being idle and idle. But he told me privately that he didn't want to live like this anymore, and instead of being a glamorous caged bird in Beijing, it was better to be an ordinary person who ate chaff vegetables. Later, my father betrayed the capital, he was implicated, I thought he couldn't escape death, I also begged my brother to pay more attention to his condition, if necessary, to save his life, but I didn't expect the emperor to just banish him from the capital, which also fulfilled him in disguise."
Shen Yuning doesn't think so, if he really has no intention of power and doesn't want to compete for fame and fortune, then why do he secretly contact so many officials?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Meng Tang naturally knew what she was thinking, and lifted the big crush on her shoulder: "Go to the study first, it's cold outside."
"Okay."
Seeing the sect master hugging his wife's shoulders and leaving, the disciples of the Yueyue Sect in front of the gatehouse sighed one after another: The sect master and his wife are really as affectionate as the legend!
Shen Yuning went to the study and studied ink for Meng Tang, watching him write a reply to Liu Chang, but his hand was in the air while he was lifting the pen.
"What's wrong?"
The man put the pen down: "I suddenly remembered that when I was in the capital, there were also people who had the intention of supporting Zhao Feng to take the throne, but he was clumsy, and those people no longer insisted when they saw that he was not here. In the past few years, he has traveled everywhere and seems to be avoiding the pursuit of the imperial court, but in fact he should be trying to win people's hearts, as far as I know, he has been to several places and met some officials who have returned to their hometowns."
"What can the officials who have already returned to their hometowns do to help him?"
"Officialdom and scholars have always paid attention to the difference between distant and close relatives and respect and inferiority, but at the same time, they also respect teachers the most, these officials seem to have left the capital, but their descendants are still seeking jobs in the capital, let alone others
As for the disciples and students they recruited with their own power during their official years, this is also what Zhao Feng needs."
Shen Yu was stunned, and carefully recalled the Zhao Feng she saw last time, although he was a little out of tune, but she could see that he was a sober person, his words and deeds were extremely sober, he advanced and retreated in a certain degree, and he had a good grasp of proportion.
Meng Tang's finger slowly clicked on the table: "It seems that he wants to be the emperor, not for a day or two."
"He's not wrong, when today's son is dumb and tyrannical, the people are not happy, and those relationships that can't be fought by the eight poles want to uncover the uprising and chase Ziwei, as a blood relative of the Zhao family and the emperor's own nephew, why can't he get on the throne?"
"Then what do you think I wrote this letter or not?"
Shen Yuning put down the ink ingot in his hand and looked at him intently, "You, do you want to write?"
The man tilted his head slightly, and his expression was a little playful: "I'm asking you, why are you still the other way around?"
"Okay, then I'll ask in a different way, Meng Tang, do you want to be the emperor?"
The man raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect her to ask so bluntly.
Shen Yuning was a little nervous when she asked this, she didn't know what answer she wanted to hear, she opened her mouth, and said again: "Do you want to support King Kong to ascend the throne and treat him like a puppet, or let this Meng's 'third son' Zhao Feng become the emperor?"
"What about Meng Jun? My brother is eyeing out of Beijing with tens of thousands of soldiers."
"He? He can't make a climate," Shen Yuning said very bluntly: "Those who are unpopular with the people can't win the world, he even did the murder of his father, how can he sit firmly in that position, and one person will also nail him to death with a mouthful of spittle!"
"Oh? Spit stars?"
"It's just a mouthful of spittle!"
Seeing that she snorted vividly, her eyebrows were angry, as if Meng Junzhen was in front of her, Meng Tang couldn't help but chuckle.
Shen Yuning seemed to have seen a rare thing, and couldn't help but hold his face and said, "The sect master is smiling, seeing you depressed these days, the disciples of the Moon Sect don't dare to come out."
"Okay, the ink grinding hand may not be clean, and they will rub me."
"Who said that my hands are not dirty."
Lord Shen withdrew his hand and said to the black ash on his face without changing his face.
"Again, I'll write a letter to Liu Chang."
"Good!" Shen Yuning picked up the ink ingot again, grinding it in the inkstone, and watched him put down the pen.
His letter was written very concisely, and a few numbers explained the matter of Junbei, and asked him and the Liu family to choose the opportunity to move, so that in such troubled times, they should no longer be blindly loyal to Zhao Ying, the world is changing, and it is unstoppable.
"The Liu family, are you a female godretain?" Shen Yuning asked.
"How to distinguish the theory of loyalty to women, in the eyes of the capital, the king of the northwest is a woman, and the Liu family is naturally loyal, but in the eyes of the people of Junbei, it is the other way around. The Liu family has been officials for a hundred years, and the relationship between the nine clans inside and outside is complicated, involving hundreds of people, which is also the reason why the Liu family has to protect itself."
Shen Yuning nodded, although she didn't know much about the Liu family now, she also understood the truth of the four words "involuntarily".
Whether it is the Liu family doing everything to serve the imperial court, or separating the two in order to avoid being implicated by the Meng family, as the so-called, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, from their point of view, they just want to live.
"As for King Kong," the man asked her, "if he wants to get to that position, I can do it for him, it's my promise to you."
"If there is a better candidate than him, I don't think he will make that choice again."
"Uh-huh......
Meng Tang's handwriting was taken away by the messenger, and in order to avoid attracting the attention of the soldiers and bandits on the road, the disciples of the Rank Moon Sect specially provided him with a new set of cotton clothes.
Although the Title Moon Sect has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, there are few people who dare to provoke the Title Moon Sect, so wearing this dress can be regarded as a signboard.
Seeing the messenger galloping away on horseback, and the horse's hooves echoing on the long street, Shen Yuning muttered with his hands in his sleeves, "The Jingzhong City Defense Battalion should recognize the clothes of the Yuezong Sect, and we fought with them last time when we passed through the capital
。」
As soon as the words fell, the disciples of the Rank Moon Sect had already looked at her, and their faces were terrified.
Shen Yuning said, "You didn't remind him to change his clothes before entering Beijing, right?"
A few heads shook fast.
Lord Shen said helplessly, "Who is going to chase him?"
"My subordinates are going!"
So, another fast horse shot out, and the Lord of the Shen League let out a long sigh, so when the Title Moon Sect recruits people, you really have to test your brain first......
The next morning, before dawn, Meng Tang went out, Shen Yuning got up and was bored, called Bai Yu and Xiao Baozi, and took three or five people to walk on the street.
Yin Feng is not there, the little bun is brought by Song Yue throughout the whole process, but I don't know if it is an illusion, Shen Yuning always feels that Yin Feng will always pay more attention to her.
After eating and drinking for a day, he estimated that Meng Tang should come back and went home, so after seeing his own sect master, Song Yue's expression became more and more indescribable.
Shen Yuning glanced at Song Yue, and Song Yue hurriedly moved away, as if she was looking at the furnishings in the house, but the furnishings had obviously never moved.
When she talked to Meng Tang, Song Yue and his brother Yin Feng exchanged ears, so the brothers looked at her even more strangely.
When he left from Meng Tang, Shen Yuning asked Bai Yu for confirmation as he walked: "Do you think that Yin Feng Songyue looks at me very strangely, as if there is some secret hidden that cannot be said, my face is dirty?"
Last time, he deliberately rubbed his face on a certain sect master while he was researching ink, and the whole of the Yue Sect also looked like they wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, which made Shen Meng Master proud.
But after she was discovered, she took a lot of effort to coax the man, what if she became the sect master of the Title Moon Sect, didn't she still have to be coaxed when she was angry!
