The brother and sister said this not because they thought that King Guangling was loyal to King Gaomi and would never betray King Gaomi. After all, as relatives, they belong to the most noble family in the dynasty. They have long seen many cases of fratricide and revenge. In fact, they have no feelings about what happened to their direct cousin Meng Boheng in Bishui County. Mainly because Although Prince Guangling was the late emperor's favorite prince, he suffered from his young age.
When the late emperor died, he was not yet ten years old, so the late emperor could not give him much.
This resulted in him having no influence at all in this dynasty. If it weren't for the protection of Huan Guanlan and other important ministers, and for King Gaomi to remember the late emperor's instructions when he was dying and take care of him, it would be a question whether he could survive until now!
In this way, even if he wanted to form an alliance with the Shu sisters behind King Gaomi's back and adopt his son to the emperor as the crown prince, where would he have the strength to facilitate this
After all, apart from the fact that Emperor Xuan Jing’s biological son has the unquestionable right to inherit, it is very difficult for the clan members to succeed the Emperor as heirs, and there are many reasons to oppose it!
Without the protection of power, even if the son proposed by King Guangling has the qualifications to become an emperor through the ages, it will be in vain - even if the qualifications are met, the sooner he dies suddenly!
Meng Guiyu smiled faintly: "The incident in Bishui County deposed Rong Qingzui, who was most suitable for succession in the Gaomi Palace; and attracted the attention of both the government and the public; and then, through the hands of scholar Sheng Suihe, he revealed that the real culprit was Ru. Ru's suggestion turned the attention of the state to Northern Xinjiang - although the eldest aunt's doubts about the Sheng family in front of her aunt today were mostly her conjectures, to be honest, she had no doubts about the Sheng family or Ning Weihou. These people’s view that they are unwilling to be trapped in the court is not unreasonable!”
"It is true that King Guangling does not have the ability to support his own son to succeed the emperor as his heir, but Marquis Ning Wei... or in other words, Marquis Ning Wei, who has regained military power, may not have this ability!"
Looking at the shocked faces of his younger brothers and sisters, Meng Guiyu sighed, "So it's really not suitable to burn the Sheng family's head with this eye-catching bone!"
"After all, the real culprit in the incident in Bishui County was Ruru's opinion, and it was Sheng Suihe who proposed it!"
"If my speculation about the recent frequent exchanges between the Shu sisters and Prince Guangling is false, then so be it!"
"If my guess is correct, a thorough investigation of the Sheng family may not end well - after all, the Emperor is still here, and you know how far the Emperor's connivance towards the Shu sisters has no bottom line!"
Both Meng Guihan and Meng Guihuan were silent: Indeed, since the sisters have no children, everyone knows that once Emperor Xuanjing dies, they will probably not end well.
But that was what happened after Emperor Xuan Jing was gone - no one could mess with these two sisters when Emperor Xuan Jing was around!
Including Queen Mother Meng!
Meng Guihuan thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Since Sixth Brother has such suspicions, why don't you explain it to your uncle or Third Brother? This will not only let them be prepared, but also show your talents, Sixth Brother. I believe it." The Meng family is now in the midst of employing people, if my eldest uncle and third brother know what sixth brother is capable of, they will definitely pay more attention to you."
There was something she hadn't said yet: With the attention of Zheng Guogong and his son, Mrs. Xiang couldn't take it seriously and betrayed her four bedrooms whenever they wanted.
However, Meng Guiyu didn't even need to answer these words. Meng Guihan looked at her speechlessly and coughed dryly: "Sister Eleven, have you forgotten what we did to switch to the eldest aunt? The eldest aunt used to rely on her aunt. With the third brother, we can indeed contact each other now, but the fourteenth sister is the biological daughter of the eldest aunt! If we try to please her, can we go beyond the eldest aunt as our biological mother?!"
Seeing that Meng Guihuan seemed to want to say something else, he continued, "So if the sixth brother behaves too much in front of the eldest uncle and the third brother now, and the eldest aunt has the idea that we are using her as a springboard, do you think she will What did Sister Fourteen say about us?"
"Then directly tell the eldest aunt about this idea and let the eldest aunt spread the word?" Meng Guihuan said unwillingly, "Although the effect is not as good as the sixth brother's own report, it can eventually make the eldest uncle and the third brother confront each other. Sixth Brother…”
This time, Meng Guiyu interrupted helplessly before he could finish his words: "Sister Eleven, the eighth brother has been found and is still alive! If I give my eldest aunt any valuable advice at this time, Do you think when eldest aunt tells eldest uncle, third brother and aunt, will she mention my name or eighth brother's?"
"..." Meng Guihuan was stunned for a moment and was speechless for a long time.
- Just today in the Nuan Pavilion of Xinshou Palace, Mrs. Xiang even hinted to Meng Guiyu's face that she would give up Sheng Weiqiao to Meng Boheng, who was injured and in unknown condition. What's more, this kind of speculation can increase the "competent" impression in the minds of Zheng Guogong and Meng Boqin. Mrs. Xiang How could it be possible not to put them all in the name of his biological son
"These are just my speculations after I privately discovered the secret interactions between Prince Guangling and the Shu sisters, and they are not accurate. In fact, the Sheng family was far away in Nanfeng County, and no family in Chang'an knew their details. Maybe there are Are there other unknown secrets in it?" Meng Guiyu noticed his sister's loss and hurriedly comforted her, "What if I guess wrong and report to my eldest uncle and third brother, wouldn't it show my timidity and let those two Do you have a bad impression of me? So I am just saying this in front of you with this uncertain inference. We are biological brothers and sisters. If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is nothing embarrassing. If you say it in front of your elders, you have to be at least 80% sure. So easy to talk about!"
He added, "Even if I guess right, there is no chance that my eldest uncle and third brother will know about me - why do you think I just received the imperial doctor from Xinshou Palace today and rushed over to pay my respects to my aunt?"
He narrowed his eyes, "I'm not just doing it to show my aunt, but also to test our eldest aunt!"
Meng Guihuan hurriedly asked: "What kind of heuristic?"
"I was listening to something in the yamen of the former dynasty. Although it was within the imperial city, it was quite far away from Xinshou Palace, and there were several palace gates in between." Meng Guiyu said, "But the front foot of Xinshou Palace After calling the imperial doctor, I arrived immediately, which shows that I have an eye in my aunt's palace, and this eye is very powerful."
He chuckled lightly, "It's getting late today, and there shouldn't be anything else going on. It depends on whether the eldest aunt will react to this matter, and what kind of reaction it will be - if the eldest aunt can tolerate this, Then when I write to Third Brother in the future, I will share some of my own opinions. I think even if the eldest aunt finds out, I can use excuses afterwards."
"If auntie will be furious about this in two days..."
Meng Guiyu was silent for a moment and said leisurely, "Then just bear with it a little longer!"
Seeing his younger brothers and sisters showing dissatisfaction, he smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this - have you forgotten Aunt Jiaoyu? For us, the eldest aunt only cares about the fourteenth sister and must endure her harshness; but for us As for Aunt Jiaoyu, because of the future of the fourteenth sister, she and her two children are destined to become abandoned children! Do you think this aunt can bear it with her character? "
Meng Guihan subconsciously said: "But Sixth Brother said before that the future of the fourteenth sister is related to the future of our Meng family. How can this skin be gone..."
"So we must keep an eye on Sister Fourteen." Meng Guiyu interrupted him and said calmly, "As for the eldest aunt... let her seek her own happiness!"
When he said the last sentence, his expression was calm, his tone was gentle, but there was a stern look in his eyes!
Meng Guihuan happened to look up and saw it, and her heart suddenly jumped. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she calmed down and got back to business: "What about the Sheng family? I originally thought the Sheng family was innocent, but it turned out that Sixth Brother was following me in the palace. What he said was just hasty words. In fact, Brother Six doesn't know whether the Sheng family is innocent or not - if they are innocent, that's fine. If not, then let's just forget it and let them get away with it?"
"Why is there such a rush in this matter?" Meng Guihan teased her, "Sixth brother has already said that our first priority now is to protect the future and prosperity of the entire Meng family! As long as this problem is solved, will the Sheng family be innocent in the future? , just investigate slowly! Even if no evidence is found by then, you must doubt them and just find some charges on them!"
Meng Guihuan rolled her eyes at him angrily, then turned to Meng Guiyu and said, "But the eldest aunt has taken a fancy to Sheng Weiqiao, and specifically hinted to Sixth Brother that you should try to politely refuse my aunt's advances..."
Because Meng Guiyu often told them that they were descendants of the Meng family. Although their status in the Meng family was not high, if the Meng family fell, they would definitely not end well. Therefore, we should not hate the entire Meng family just because Mrs. Xiang and others treat them badly. We should take a long-term view and consider the family more when things happen. This way, we can also benefit from it. This is the right way to share the honor and weal and woe.
Therefore, Meng Guihuan still has a strong sense of family. Although she does not have a deep affection for Meng Boheng, he is one of her cousins, and she accompanied Meng Boheng to Bishui County before. Even though she dislikes Meng Boheng's biological mother, Mrs. Xiang, she still has She still hopes to take revenge on the person who harmed her cousin. She snorted coldly at this moment, "If she really enters the Meng family and gives birth to an heir, what will she do then? That's me, Meng." Family blood!"
Meng Guihan was shocked when he heard this, because when Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihuan told Meng Guihuan that they passed by Xinshou Palace today, they didn't mention Empress Dowager Meng's desire to bring Meng Guiyu and Sheng Weiqiao together at all.
Hearing this, he showed an angry expression: "This is simply too much bullying! Does the eldest aunt treat us as nieces and nephews by doing this?!"
He was so angry, not because he recognized Sheng Weiqiao as his sister-in-law, but mainly because he felt that since Empress Dowager Meng wanted Sheng Weiqiao to marry Meng Guiyu, and then interfered with Mrs. Xiang, what was the difference between this and the hatred of seizing his wife? !
As the saying goes, the hatred for killing the father and the hatred for taking away the wife are irreconcilable!
Meng Guihan and his two younger sisters were raised by their eldest brother Meng Guiyu who was both father and mother. You can imagine how deep their feelings for this brother are!
Now I heard that Mrs. Xiang wanted to snatch the wife that the Queen Mother and Meng Guiyu had chosen, but she was even more angry than her own fiancée being snatched away. It didn't matter whether the Sheng family was related to the incident in Bishui County - anyway, in Bishui The person who got into trouble in the county was Mrs. Xiang’s biological son, not a member of their fourth room!
Immediately he said: "Brother Six, this matter is no small matter! We must not give in!"
