Liu'er is a scout of the Shuobei Army, well-informed, and listens to the world's affairs.

Over the years, Meng Tang has learned a lot of news by relying on six ears.

The border is bitterly cold, and the grain and grass allocated are getting less and less year by year, and the soldiers can't eat enough.

The money cannot be touched and can only be accessed when it is forced to do so.

Six ears obeyed Meng Tang's orders, and the seven gambling houses were prosperous, and all kinds of people came in and out, and intelligence could also be obtained quickly, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Seeing everything recorded above, Meng Yun's face was full of shock.

He never knew that Meng Tang had done so much in private.

Meng Tang has been thinking, what will the Meng family do after she leaves this world? He had to leave a way out for the Meng family.

*

On the day of Chongyang, the emperor brought the palace concubines to worship his ancestors.

In the ancestral hall, Xiao Hongyun knelt on the ground, her nervous palms were drenched with sweat, she remembered Meng Tang's instructions, she could only succeed, not fail.

Otherwise, the belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you won't be able to hide it.

When it was her turn to come forward to worship, the maidservant handed over the bamboo incense, and Xiao Hongyun took it.

Xiao Hongyun took two steps forward, and was about to insert the incense in her hand into the incense burner in front of Concubine Qi's tablet.

Suddenly, it seemed that something had tripped under her feet, Xiao Hongyun's body was unstable, and she threw herself straight forward.

In an instant, there was a bang, and the tablets on the table in front of him fell one after another and fell to the ground, and Concubine Qi's was also among them.

Xiao Hongyun sat on the ground with a white face.

When the other concubines saw this scene, they all lowered their heads, but in fact, their hearts were already happy, Concubine Xiao made such a big basket, thinking that His Majesty would be furious.

Who doesn't know, His Majesty has the most respect for his biological mother, how can he tolerate this kind of thing happening?

Xiao Hongyun hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "It's the concubine's fault!" It's the concubine who didn't stand firm! ”

Chu Yi's face was pale, today to worship the ancestors, such a big thing, Xiao Hongyun can make such a mistake, he looked at the tablet on the ground, and said: "You are not careless for a day or two, but I didn't expect that you would be so rude!" ”

Xiao Hongyun said in panic: "The concubine is not intentional, the concubine, the concubine ......"

Chu Yi sneered, "If you have the intention, I'm afraid you're going to smash this ancestral hall." ”

"Your Majesty! Please spare your majesty this time! ”

Chu Yi hates people who beg for mercy in a low voice, this Meng Tang and Xiao Hongyun said, Xiao Hongyun deliberately said: "The concubine will never do it again next time, Your Majesty will give the concubine another chance, the concubine will change, the concubine will definitely change, and please spare the life of the concubine!" For the sake of the face of the concubine's father and brother, let the concubine go this time. ”

The last sentence can be said to be a stabbing basket.

Recently, those Yannan generals who returned to Beijing with Xiao Jiyang, I don't know how arrogant they are, relying on military merits, suppressing Wenchen, and being even more disrespectful when facing him, kneeling and bowing are extremely perfunctory.

"Someone! Drag Concubine Xiao out for me! Fifty rods! ”

Fifty down, how can there be life?

Meng Tang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"Queen, you also saw it today, in front of the public, Concubine Xiao is so disrespectful, she has made such a big mistake, and she dares to beg for mercy, if I don't punish her, where will the royal majesty be in the future? And today's Chongyang worship ancestors, I'm afraid that the ancestors will be revived by this stupid thing! ”

The guards held Xiao Hongyun in one hand.

Meng Tang kowtowed at Chu Yi and asked, "Your Majesty, you made a promise to me before, do you remember?" ”

There are many people here, and there are many concubines, she didn't say it directly.

But Chu Yi remembered that he had said before that he would never punish Xiao Hongyun again.

But this time is not the other time.

Chu Yi had a calm face.

Meng Tang said: "Your Majesty, if the fifty boards go down, Concubine Xiao's sister will die!" ”

Chu Yi walked up to her and said, "Queen, Concubine Xiao made a big mistake today, if I don't punish her, what are the rules?" How to convince the public? ”

Meng Tang slammed his head on the ground and said: "Punishment, punishment, Concubine Xiao's sister did something wrong, it should be punished, it's just that today's ancestor worship is not appropriate to be red and bloody, Your Majesty, please think twice." ”

Chu Yi knew that she and Xiao Hongyun had a deep sisterhood.

Seeing this, Chu Yi sighed, and he said: "That's it, for your sake, the queen is right, it is not appropriate to see blood on the day of ancestor worship, then Concubine Xiao will be sent to Anning Hall." ”

Hearing this, Meng Tang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and everything was developing in the direction she envisioned.

She bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty is magnanimous. ”

Chu Yi glanced at Xiao Hongyun coldly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

The guards stepped forward and escorted Xiao Hongyun to Anning Hall.

Meng Tang raised his eyes and glanced at her.

Xiao Hongyun said: "Today's sister's life-saving grace, Hongyun will repay it." ”

Meng Tang understood the deep meaning of her words.

"Yun Yun, the cold palace is cold, so you suffer, take care of yourself after you go in." Meng Tang instructed.

"Niangniang, I understand, Niangniang has helped me a lot, and the rest of the way is up to me."

After speaking, Xiao Hongyun followed the guards and left.

Meng Tang got up and said, "Since Your Majesty is no longer there, your sisters will go back after the incense." ”

"Yes, Queen."

*

Chu Yi was angry at the moment.

Meng Tang knew that he must have nested alone in the imperial study.

Meng Tang entered the imperial study, walked to the bookcase, and asked, "Your Majesty is so angry?" ”

Chu Yi said: "Since Xiao Jiyang returned to Beijing, those generals in Yannan have a very high opinion of themselves, and they don't even listen to my words, Xiao Hongyun still made such a big mistake today, if I don't punish him, how can I convince the public?" Let the courtiers in the court know, and think that this court is surnamed Xiao. ”

Sure enough, Chu Yi couldn't see that the Xiao family was powerful, and he had already decided to attack the Xiao family.

In fact, even if Xiao Hongyun is not pregnant, the Xiao family may have a catastrophe waiting for them, just like when the Meng family was slandered and sold weapons.

"Your Majesty, you have been punished now, let's dissipate your anger, Hong Yun is such an arrogant person, even the bird's nest has to eat the best swiftlet, how can you endure the loneliness of the cold palace?"

Chu Yiden looked at her and said, "Don't you want to intercede for Xiao Hongyun again?" Just let her go to the cold palace, she disturbed the ancestral hall today, and overturned the tablet, if it were anyone, I would not hesitate to kill it, and now just let her go to the cold palace, it is already for your sake. ”

"Tang'er, I can rely on you in everything, I just hope you will think about me too."

"That's why the concubine will tell you that day not to make a promise because of joy, you told me that you will never punish Xiao Hongyun in the future, but this is obviously something that can't be done, and it can't be done, if you don't make a promise from the beginning, so that the concubine doesn't have expectations."
