Nan was so anxious that she felt that Sheng Sleeping Crane, who was the most affected in her opinion, was calm and collected. While secretly cursing the "heartless little thing", she also laughed a little angrily and held up her talents. Putting the tea bowl back on the table, he sneered: "He really has been acting like a villain over and over again! Since I think it's not a big deal, he naturally won't continue to be annoying!" "
"Auntie, don't be angry!" Sheng Weiqiao knew whether she was his brother or sister, or whether she considered the Sheng family, so even though she scolded her severely, he was not angry at all, so he ignored Sheng Suihe and went to see her. He apologized and comforted, "He knows that you are not good to them, so if you are in front of the Queen Mother tomorrow, you really can't do whatever you want and have not carefully considered it! I blame him for not telling you in advance. It’s so shameful that you worry about them like that!”
Seeing that Nan's Bubu had a cold face and refused to shut up, she looked at Sheng Suihe for help. After receiving Sheng Suihe's look, she coughed dryly and continued, "Although he didn't see that the Queen Mother and Wuyang were related. Princess Dong, no one actually planned to mention the July appointment tomorrow, but he never thought of taking the initiative to remonstrate. Could it be that when the Lord Jingshu arrived later, when he heard her talking about that matter to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother I once looked specifically at the palace to the west, with doubt and resentment in my eyes!"
Although Sheng Weiqiao had just told the story of Mingyue's entry into the palace at Sheng Suihe's Qiuqiudong, but considering that Nan was in a state of excitement, Sheng Weiqiao certainly couldn't go into a lengthy account in detail, but he gave a general outline.
Regarding Empress Dowager Meng's suspicion of wronging the Shu sisters, she had never described it before. At that time, Nan was slightly shocked when she heard this and said, "Is that true?"
"My aunt was in a dignified manner. We were walking together on Danchidong. Your eyes were always slightly lowered to the east, so you didn't see it." Sheng Weiqiao explained, "But because he was curious about the Lord Jingshu, he quietly looked up several times and found that since After County Lord Jingshu mentioned the incident in Bishui County, the Queen Mother kept looking to the west with a very complicated expression! Reminiscing about the incident with Duke Huan back then, he speculated that the Queen Mother probably suspected the recent incident in Bishui County, and was also related to the two Shu It’s about the empress!”
Nan's face was ashen and he said: "I discovered that and wanted to get out of the muddy water?! I don't know whether the two empresses Shu, although they have been doing nothing for many years, can continue to do so because of the emperor's favor on them. The Queen Mother must give them three points?! How dare I get involved in their affairs?! Not in the name of He'er!!!"
"Aunt, it is precisely because of the two empresses Shu's favor that the empress dowager gave them three points, so even if the empress dowager doubts them, she can do nothing to them just like the case of Duke Huan's disappearance!" Sheng Weiqiao said sternly, "It doesn't matter whether Meng Boheng or not But that young prince is not an ordinary person! With the status of those two people, something so big went wrong. The imperial envoys were sent to Bishui County. If nothing comes out, where will the imperial court's face be? Meng's Where is the majesty of Gaomi Palace?!"
Nan was stunned for a moment, then his expression became solemn: Indeed, with the identity of Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui, one was missing and the other was seriously injured in Bishui County. If the matter was ignored at first, the prestige of the court would definitely be gone!
Therefore, if the imperial court is in the east, it will never be allowed to happen!
The problem is that the Shu sisters, whom Empress Dowager Meng suspected, have always been favored by the emperor. It is well known to everyone that Huan Guanlan wronged Empress Dowager Meng and her son in favor. It can even be said that without Huan Guanlan's protection, Emperor Xuanjing would not have been able to fulfill his wishes - With such great achievements and such deep favor, the emperor was not willing to deal with the Shu sisters over whether to avenge him.
What's more, although Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui, who were involved in the accident, have a close blood relationship with the emperor, they have never met the emperor in person, let alone have feelings for each other
Although Emperor Xuanjing had not been involved in government affairs for a long time, after all, he was the emperor of the Mu Dynasty and the master of Tiandong.
He protected the Shu sisters, even if the Empress Dowager Meng denied his biological mother, there was nothing he could do. This was proven as early as twelve years ago when Huan Guanlan disappeared. Perhaps it was for this reason that Dong Meng and the King of Gaomi were attacking each other. The wrong party was accused of being the culprit, but they all made a tacit agreement not to mention the Shu sisters.
After all, before I was sure to sway the two sisters, I had to shout out my suspicions against them. If nothing was done at first, it would only inflate the arrogance of the sisters and weaken the reputation of the court in the east.
Therefore, whether the real culprits in Bulong are the Shu sisters, the Meng family and the King of Gaomi are not willing to continue fighting in the east. Although they are political enemies, they are not sure of overpowering the other side, so there is no point in continuing to argue.
However, as Sheng Weiqiao said, there must be a truth about the matter in Bishui County that can be explained by the people of Tiandong to prove the majesty of the Mu court!
Twelve years ago, Huan Guanlan's disappearance made the pirates a scapegoat.
But it was precisely because the imperial court used the guise of "avenging Duke Huan" to send navy to sweep away the pirates near Bishui County. As a result, the area around Bishui County was clean until tomorrow, let alone the serious sea pirates. There are only a few bandits working part-time as fishermen!
So it’s impossible to drag the pirates out again that time - and with the identities of Meng Boheng and Rong Qingzui, and the Huan family’s old house where trouble happened again, with such a lineup, it’s impossible to just catch a few nameless people. People are the culprits, right
In this way, it will not protect the dignity of the court, but will make the court smile for Tiandong!
"The Meng family and the King of Gaomi will definitely not let someone on their side bear the crime!" Nan thought quickly in her heart, "The Shu sisters are protected by the emperor, no matter whether the Meng family or the King of Gaomi , are all afraid of forcing them into the wrong camp, so much so that they are not mentioned at all! The people who are most likely to be deceived in Donglai are those who have not surrendered to the Meng family or the King of Gaomi... "
Thinking of that, she felt awe-struck in her heart. Ningwei Houfu was one of those people!
Moreover, because the two factions in the court have been at odds for a long time, almost all the high-ranking ministers have a choice. Among the courtiers who have no choice, Ningwei Houfu is actually more eye-catching!
In other words, without Sheng Weiqiao Mingyue's advice in front of the Queen Mother, the matter in Bishui County might one day hit Ningwei Hou's house!
After all, for Meng and King Gaomi, doing so not only settled the matter in Bishui County, maintained the dignity of the court, but also severely warned those who had no choice, how naive and dangerous it was to stay out of the matter!
-As for how innocent and unjust the Ningwei Houfu was sacrificed, does Meng care whether he is not the King of Gaomi or not
Nan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "So, instead of letting the innocent people get involved in that fight at first, why don't we divert the trouble and blame it on Ruru?!"
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao nodding vigorously, Nan's eyes were extremely complicated. His eyes wandered back and forth between her and Sheng Suihe for a long time. He smiled bitterly and murmured the words Xu Zijing said a few months ago, "The younger generation is to be feared!"
She really felt that the brother and sister were terrible.
Although just now she had cultivated good manners due to many visits to nobles, and without being disrespectful, she quietly raised her head to peek at the Queen Mother's expression, so she could not find out from Queen Mother Dong's expression and behavior that the Queen Mother was wrong about the Shu sisters - but Nan knew that even if she After discovering this, he might not have the courage to seize the opportunity of Huan Yehe bringing up the July Agreement in Jie Donglai, and wrongly target Ruru!
The reason is very simple. The conditions given by the Queen Mother are so generous. Yuanji exceeds her optimistic imagination before entering the palace. Why is the risk-seeking intervention obviously involving the Meng family and the King of Gaomi, and covertly involving the Shu sisters and the neutral faction? , to summarize the affairs of Bishui County in which Dongnai wiped out the entire high-level officials of the Great Mu Dynasty
But Sheng Weiqiao did it decisively!
And the reason why the girl was able to wade through the troubled waters that time, I wonder if it was because she had Sheng Suihe checking the details for her behind the scenes - after all, Sheng Weiqiao himself had no idea of dragging Ruru out to be a target!
Nan's mind is full of mixed feelings now, and she doesn't know whether to praise her for her decisiveness or scold her for being too opportunistic
After calming down, she asked in a deep voice: "That matter, am I sure it won't turn into a bad thing?"
"It's certain." When Sheng Weiqiao said that, he glanced at Sheng Suihe, then turned around and continued to talk to Nan, "From the perspective of the entire imperial court, the matter in Bishui County must be resolved as quickly as possible. Well, only in this way can the strength and authority of the imperial court be demonstrated! That point will definitely be denied by Meng and King Gaomi, including the Queen Mother."
After all, no matter whether the Meng family is the King of Gaomi or the Queen Mother, their power and status cannot be based on the court's recognition of them.
If the court of Yandong loses the trust of the people of Tiandong, it will be a huge harm to their interests.
"The problem is that the Meng family and the King of Gaomi have been at loggerheads for many years. They have always been evenly matched and it is difficult to tell the winner."
"It just so happened that the people who had the accident that time were not the legitimate sons of the two families. Not to mention the emotional turmoil, I couldn't bear to swallow it. I couldn't give up just for the sake of face!"
- As a leader, he can't even protect his own legitimate son, and he can't seek justice if something goes wrong. How can he convince the public
"The incident in Bishui County has been going on for a month now. He estimates that the Meng family, the King of Gaomi, and even the Queen Mother are all in trouble."
"In that case, doubting whether Ruru is the real culprit is equivalent to handing them a ladder. He is 80% sure that they will take advantage of this!"
Having said that, Sheng Weiqiao stretched out his legs to hold Nan's legs and arms, and said coquettishly, "There are still 20% variables left in Bu Nao Dong. Please ask your aunt and uncle Shi to help you persuade the two courtiers who are familiar with you to promote this project." It’s happened!”
Nan laughed and scolded: "Am I treating him like a three-year-old child? If he can't understand, then I'm giving him a chance to do favors with my uncle!"
Although she didn't know if any of the courtiers who were as neutral as Ningwei Houfu realized that if the real culprit of the Bishui County incident was never found, their group would be the most unlucky. But even if those people didn't expect that Xu Zijing and his wife would remind Dong at the door, they would have reacted.
This would mean that Xu Zijing and his wife were asking for help at home, and that those people would owe the Ningwei Hou Mansion a favor!
The Buluonan family was moved by Sheng Weiqiao's disregard of Xu Caikui's revenge for chasing the guest order eastward in public. At that time, he did not forget to let Ningwei Houfu take advantage of it, but he was also worried: "But our brothers and sisters are too young. We have been in Nanfeng County before, so there is nothing wrong with it." Reputation! Now that a big thing has suddenly been solved that the entire dynasty has been wasting their time on, my aunt is afraid, Mu Xiu Yu Lin! When the spring comes... "
"If Auntie really cares about it, there will be chaos!" Sheng Sleeping Crane, who had been smiling and silent at that time, said slowly, "Just because the incident in Bishui County has been delayed until the moon comes out, I beg the court to decide to accept that the culprit is Ru Ru's suggestion, then aunt thinks that many people, including the imperial envoys, have been overwhelmed by an ordinary scholar, and have they discovered the brilliance of a young hero?"
Sheng Weiqiao covered his mouth with his sleeves and snickered: "Although Jinshi is rare, there are still many in the country who are ranked once every three years! In the eyes of high-ranking officials, ordinary Jinshi is nothing! So if they don't want to be embarrassed, , unless my brother is ranked first, or even the top scorer in high school - my brother has already won the first place in the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination, and he will not be able to get the first place in the provincial examination. If he also wins the first place in the palace examination, he will have an unprecedented six yuan! In that way, even if he is not an imperial envoy and loses to his elder brother at that age, it is not considered stupid, and it can be said that he is a talented person in his lifetime!"
Hearing this, Nan was speechless for a long time. After a while, he patted the back of Sheng Weiqiao's legs and sighed, "He knows!"
After a pause, she looked at Sheng Suihe with complicated eyes and said, "The matter in Northern Xinjiang... He will talk to our uncle when he gets back, I don't worry!"
