Chapter 33: Shaoyan is pardoned
The emperor whispered into Meng Dingguo's ear: "Hey, uncle, where did you come from?" Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoI'm your nephew? I know that my uncle hates my nephew for being ignorant, if it weren't for the fact that the Empress Dowager had just died, and there were some Xiao Xiao's slanders around me, of course, I was also confused, so I did stupid things. My uncle is an elder, how can he not forgive me, right?"
As he spoke, the emperor also took the opportunity to lean on Meng Dingguo in the narrow carriage.
Meng Dingguo had goosebumps, he knew that this emperor was very treacherous, and his words were nothing more than hinting that it was because of the death of the empress dowager that Meng Dingguo had the intention of usurping the throne before he poisoned him, and immediately turned his viciousness into righteousness to kill his relatives, and also hinted that Meng Dingguo should not covet the dynasty.
Meng Dingguo smiled bitterly in his heart. There have always been many people who covet the dynasty, but the emperor himself does not defend loyalty and treachery. This emperor, you said that he is not in charge of government affairs, and he still worries about everything. You say that he is in charge of state affairs, but he does not argue whether it is good or bad.
Meng Dingguo groaned and said: "The minister only wishes to do his duty for the country and the emperor for the rest of his life, and assist the emperor, don't think about it anymore!"
After that, he said: "The emperor has worked hard all the way, and the ministers should not disturb the emperor's rest, so he will retire." ”
The emperor grabbed Meng Dingguo's arm: "Hey, uncle, don't worry, I haven't asked my family how they are okay." How is your aunt?"
The emperor was affectionate for his cousin, but he didn't mention his uncle's title, so Meng Dingguo had to bow down and reply: "It's very good to be clumsy, so the emperor thinks about it, and he doesn't dare to be ashamed." ”
The emperor smiled treacherously again: "Cousin Meng Yu, I just met it a while ago. It's just that my cousin, after the last time I saw her, is almost five years old, so she must have grown up. If you want to talk about Cousin Meng Xue, I heard that the longer she gets, the more beautiful she is, she is really famous, and I already know it in the capital!"
Meng Dingguo Yirin: This stinky nephew, the state affairs are not well governed, and he has to rely on the queen to take care of it internally, and he has to rely on himself to assist him externally. However, the harem is very chaotic, with countless concubines and excessive management, which makes the harem smoky, but he still has to use his own internal supervision team to pick beauty and hunt for beauty everywhere, making the people also jump.
When the emperor was young, he was in charge of the empress dowager, and although Meng Dingguo was a member of the military and political power of the country, he was too lazy to take care of this kind of trivial matters in the royal palace. Now in the past few years, this stinky emperor has become more and more unpleasant. Today's meaning seems to be still thinking about his daughter. Meng Dingguo was angry when he looked at the emperor's withered appearance, and he didn't want to deal with him, let alone his meek, beautiful, but light and lovely little daughter.
So he said a little angrily: "Xiaoxue is naturally very good, fortunately the emperor's cousin is worried." It's just that I have been running around for two years, and I have contracted shortness of breath, and I am afraid that I will not get better if I continue to take medicine every day. ”
When he said this, he wanted to cut off the emperor's dirty thoughts. The second is that he was poisoned by the emperor back then, which caused his daughter to follow him around, and his wife and son who lost their news were in the vast land of the country, looking for each other hard, and how many hardships they experienced. Xiaoxue's illness has to be counted on the emperor's head.
The emperor saw that anything mentioned would involve the evil things he did back then, so he had to restrain his smiling face, "Uncle, don't be angry, this is not my nephew." On this trip, I also brought a famous imperial doctor in Beijing, and I just went back and asked them to take a good look at my cousin. ”
Meng Dingguo saw that he was blindly subdued, and he couldn't bear to say anything anymore, he just wanted his parents to die early, and his sister Meng Lizhu killed her husband Chengwang, who was about to ascend the throne, for the struggle for power, and finally ended up being assassinated by Ying Zhengyun. Now there is only such an unassuming nephew left, but he is still the emperor, what can he do? Moreover, the emperor's visit to Xiyuzhou this time is a good opportunity to implore the emperor to exempt Ying Shaoyan from the status of the son of a criminal minister. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that it was better to strike while the iron was hot, at this time there were only himself and the emperor, so it was better to do this immediately.
So he said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a report, please ask the emperor to be lenient." ”
Meng Dingguo rarely asks the emperor, and the emperor has been unwilling to turn his thoughts about Meng Xue at this time, and he is very happy to hear Meng Dingguo say this: "Uncle, just talk about it." ”
Meng Dingguo pondered for a moment: "Ying Zhengyun, the major general of the Ying family's army, was wronged for the sake of the emperor and the emperor. Now his son Ying Shaoyan is also twenty-two years old, and he has been convicted of being implicated, not only can he not serve in the army, but he is also not allowed to leave Xiyuzhou. This time the emperor is coming, or to show the emperor's grace, can you exonerate him?"
The emperor is not stupid, he knows that Meng Dingguo and Ying Zhengyun were in the same league back then, and they are better than brothers. As far as he is concerned, no matter whether Ying Zhengyun assassinated the Queen Mother for him, the little emperor and the country, he was also kind to him, but the emperor was only naturally unwilling to expand Meng Dingguo's power again. But thinking that Ying Shaoyan is still young, and he has been banned in Xiyuzhou, and he has not cultivated his own power, Ying Jiajun has been completely absorbed by Xiao Zhengyi, so he thinks it is better to sell his favor.
made a look of reluctance to agree, and said to Meng Dingguo: "It is already a great grace of heaven that the crime of the family should have been pursued without investigation, and if it is in normal times, I have no reason to pardon him." It's just that as my uncle said, this is the first time I have personally traveled to Xiyuzhou since the founding of the dynasty, and I want amnesty. It's just that how to pardon is up to the uncle to work out. He doesn't have to be banned in Xiyuzhou, but he can't enter the official door again, and he can't serve in the army. ”
Meng Dingguo thought to himself: "Finally, I don't have to be confined here." "I thought that the little emperor was still not allowed to serve in the army. Thinking about how much pressure Xiao Zhengyi was able to take risks and use Ying Shaoyan back then. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have a good impression of Xiao Zhengyi.
Meng Dingguo was worried that after a long time, someone came to slander him, and he had been ruined by the villain several times before. He asked the emperor: "Since the emperor is here in person, can he give the ministers a face and write an edict of pardon for Ying Shaoyan?"
The emperor smiled: "Uncle matter, how dare my nephew disobey." ”
Meng Dingguo lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "The emperor has an edict!"
Liu Cheng, the chief eunuch who was riding on a horse, had been turned upside down all the way, and hurriedly waved the dust at this time: "What's the matter with the emperor?"
Meng Dingguo saw that it was Liu Cheng, and remembered the past when he was in the palace, he couldn't help but smile and greeted: "Gonggong Liu, don't come to harm." The emperor has a decree of pen, ink, paper, inkstone. ”
Liu Cheng saw that it was Meng Dingguo, and he was angry and had no place to come out. When he was in Chengwangfu, Meng Dingguo was not yet twenty years old, and he was a naughty young man, and he often teased him, a fat man, every day.
At this time, I had to endure my anger and say: "Master Meng, the old slave understands, so let's prepare." ”
After the emperor finished writing, he personally blew the ink that had not dried, and then handed it to Meng Dingguo: "Uncle's business, nephew must be respected!"
Meng Dingguo carefully folded and put it away, which was a change in the fate of a young man.
