Meng Guiyu's expression changed. After a moment, he said cheerfully: "Master Sheng is so eloquent! But as you said, the Meng family is prosperous, and there are many foreign relatives such as Gao Chengxuan! So even if we eradicate How can Gao Chengxuan guarantee that the person Meng will give his full support to next will be me?"
"To take a step back, even if it's really me..."
"Now that you, Mr. Shanda, have taken control of me, from now on I will be whatever you say, and I will be like a puppet?!"
"So, if I act according to your wishes, Mr. Shanda, in the final analysis, you will get the benefits, and I can only be your sword!"
Sheng Suihe put down the tea bowl and said with a faint smile: "Why can I take advantage of you? Because your status in the Meng family is too low! What you have done so far would not be possible if it were replaced by your third brother Meng Boqin. What the heck! Just like the Queen Mother and Zheng Guogong still thought that Jiaoyu and her daughter were killed by Meng Boqin, but they chose to settle the matter instead of getting angry and pursuing it to the end. Imagine if one day, your status in the Meng family Now that we have reached Meng Boqin's level, what does the so-called handle mean anymore?!"
"This is just drawing cakes to satisfy hunger." Meng Guiyu still shook his head, "The special status of third brother comes from two points: first, he is the legitimate son of my eldest uncle's original wife, and he is the only legitimate son of the original wife; second, he holds military power. And. What about me? I am the son of the fourth family. My late father was young and frivolous when he was alive, and he offended all my aunts and uncles. When it comes to my ancestor Yu Ze, it would be great if the elders did not express their anger, let alone how much they took care of me. "
"Because my family had a difficult time when I was young, and I had to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, I couldn't find a good husband, and I didn't have much time to devote to my studies. Besides, I'm not a particularly talented person! So now I can't even I am not a scholar, and as you said, I cannot be a prime minister."
"How can I reach Third Brother's current status? Don't ask me to plan the military power in Third Brother's hands!"
The military power in Meng Boqin's hands was earned through years of hard work with the support of the entire Meng family.
It’s not like he has no heirs, he also has two half-brothers. How could he pass it on to a cousin whom he has never met at all
Even if all his sons and grandsons fail, Meng Boheng and Meng Sian can't count on him. He has to consider his cousin... Meng Guiyu is not his only cousin!
How can the Marquis of Wu'an and the Marquis of Chengyang be unmoved
Meng Guiyu didn't think he could win against them.
"Then according to what you say, you'd better just live a mediocre life like this." Sheng Suihe said calmly, "As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. You want to get the benefits but don't want to pay... Why don't you think about such a good thing? Why? Is it cheaper for you?"
Meng Guiyu was silent for a while and said: "Of course I understand the principle of seeking wealth through danger. But to be honest, I don't really believe that you want to kill Gao Chengxuan this time in order to take revenge on the Wu'an Hou Mansion for Miss Sheng San. I think... You even want to solve a future problem in advance: I heard that my nephew, Meng Jiayan, the grandson of the Marquis of Wu'an, hinted to you before the Spring Festival that he was willing to betroth my sister to you?"
"With your talent, appearance and future, the second wife can take a fancy to you, so why not the first wife?"
"My third brother's daughter, my niece Meng Shuangxiao, is now at the age of marriage, and she lives in Chang'an! Miss Sheng San and Miss Sheng Ba have met more than once, right?"
"If you get married to Dafang in the future, as long as Gao Chengxuan dies, the next candidate that Meng will fully support will most likely be you."
"I've been working so hard for nothing. Could it be that I'm making a wedding dress for you?"
"If Meng's next full support is me, wouldn't it be good for you?" Sheng Suihe said slowly, "After all, I hold your hand, so I'm more confident about you than others. I really need to use people. Of course, you are the first choice. In this way, you will definitely have many more opportunities to practice and perform than you do now!"
"On the contrary, Gao Chengxuan, after we left the wing that night and let your uncle and nephew speak, I left a confidant on the roof to listen. It seems that your nephew is not disrespectful to you in general?"
"Although he is your junior, he is deeply favored by your second uncle, so you can't act like a cousin with him!"
"You are hesitant and unwilling to deal with him now, but you don't know that when he bosses you around in the future... will he not be willing to embarrass you?"
Sheng Suihe smiled half-heartedly, "Or do you think I will give in to him for you?"
Seeing Meng Guiyu's face turn pale, he shook his head, pushed the tea bowl inward, and stood up, "Uncle, you should know very well! After hearing what that little beast said to you in private from my confidant, I told that Between the little beasts, you have to choose a side! I'm here to discuss it with you now because I value you and don't want you to be involved. If you keep pushing back like this, you really think I can't do anything about that little beast without your help. Are you a beast?!"
Saying that, he turned around and left.
When he walked to the door, Meng Guiyu finally lost his temper and said, "Wait a minute!"
"... From Meng Boheng to Jiaoyu mother and daughter to Gao Chengxuan." Meng Guiyu saw that although Sheng Suihe stood still, he had no intention of sitting back. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "This won't work! Meng is not a fool. , even if I provide you with a cover, in conclusion, the people who offended these people before the accident will find you sooner or later, you will not let me go!"
"So?" Sheng Suihe turned around and looked at him quietly.
"..." Meng Guiyu pursed his lips. After a moment, he said, "You don't have to take action this time, leave it to me!"
He smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, you and I are not the only ones who want Gao Chengxuan dead!"
These words revealed that he actually hoped that Gao Chengxuan would die soon.
"I heard that my uncle plans to choose a husband for my sister, Miss Meng Shiyi, after the gold medal comes out?" Sheng Suihe heard this, smiled and said, "When Miss Meng Shiyi is about to have something good happen, please let me know. Allow me to give you a small gift to add makeup to Miss Eleven!"
Although he knew that he was giving him a stick, oh no, a few sticks before giving him a sweet date, after hearing this, Meng Guiyu still looked slightly calm and said: "Then I will thank Mr. Shanda on behalf of my sister-in-law. Got it!"
... Master Sheng Suihe said goodbye to Meng Guiyu, and on the way back to Ningweihou Mansion from the teahouse, Gongsun Xi asked with some worry: "Master, you always threaten Uncle Chongxin like this, will Uncle Chongxin...?"
"He won't fall out with me easily." Sheng Suihe shook his head and said, "First of all, his parents died when he was young, and he still has three young brothers and sisters to take care of. In difficult situations, he has long been accustomed to swallowing his anger. He is not the kind of person who thinks about defeating the enemy when he is slightly oppressed; secondly, he values his younger brothers and sisters very seriously, and of his three younger brothers and sisters, he has only married a younger sister, and one younger brother and one younger sister have not yet married. Marriage, so don’t push him to the point of desperation, even if he knows that continuing is not good for him, in order to continue to protect his younger siblings, he will not rashly flip the table!”
"The third thing is that he thought that I planned to join the Meng family in the future. In this way, even if he could not become the leader of the younger generation of the Meng family, he would still have the advantage of becoming my confidant. This man was severely tortured by the situation in his early years, although because of this I am ambitious and long for power, but my ambition has not reached the point where I have to be the best, so all the rejections and embarrassments are just deliberate expressions to test my bottom line and human temperament, and to prepare for dealing with me in the future!"
"If he really doesn't want to deal with Gao Chengxuan, why did he ask me to meet today?"
"Wouldn't a blunt refusal better express his determination to not participate in this matter?"
"After all, the matter in Bishui County has little to do with him. He is at best an accomplice in the matter of Jiaoyu mother and daughter. If we really make trouble, he still has a way to survive. I may be able to escape myself, but Guinnan and the others may not... He didn’t use this to threaten me, which shows that he made a choice in his heart!”
Gongsun Xi smiled bitterly and said: "But this move is risky after all. You better not do it in the future."
When he said this, he actually didn't expect Sheng Suihe to listen. He didn't expect Sheng Suihe to hear the words but nodded, and said An Ran: "The Meng family won't be able to take advantage of it for long, so it's good to take advantage."
No matter how tolerant Meng Guiyu is, after knowing that he is actually the blood of King Gaomi, he will definitely not help him do things or hide things anymore... After all, Meng Guiyu has no fame or achievements, so he can have the status and power he has today. , all thanks to Mengshi.
No matter how much this person thinks about himself and the Meng family’s four bedrooms, he can’t even see this clearly!
So how could Sheng Suihe not seize this last period of time to mislead him into eradicating Gao Chengxuan
… The apricot list came out the next day. Ningweihou Mansion sent people to look at the list very early, and the results were very good: Sheng Suihe was second on the apricot list, and Xu Baomo was even worse, ranked eighteenth. .
However, the number 18 is actually pretty good, but there is a big gap compared to Sheng Suihe.
Therefore, everyone in Ningweihou's mansion was overjoyed. Nanshi happily ordered everyone in the Ningwei mansion to reward him with a month's money to celebrate.
If Sheng Suihe hadn't tried his best to refuse by saying "there is still a palace examination", she would have even wanted to hold a banquet right now.
Although Sheng Weiqiao and the others were very happy when they heard the news, in private, Sheng Weiqiao still asked about who Jinke Huiyuan was. When they heard that it was Gao Chengxuan, they frowned slightly: "Is it him?"
She was worried in her heart that after all, Meng chose her own nephew instead of Sheng Suihe.
But then I thought, "If it's not the number one scholar, it's not the number one scholar. Anyway, this ranking is very good, as long as you can enter the Hanlin Academy. After all, it doesn't mean that you can become an extremely popular minister only if you are the number one scholar. The so-called six yuan of victory is just a I'm just looking forward to it... Oh, I'm really worried. His surname will no longer be Sheng soon. No matter how rich he is in the future, it may not be related to our family. Why do I care so much?"
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She should have gone back to Shengzhai to pack her luggage at this time, but because Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming would arrive at the end of March, she couldn't leave now and had to wait for the two elders to arrive. Let’s discuss the return date later.
Thinking about it at this time, I realized that Sheng Suihe's so-called "recovery of identity must be explained to the Sheng family", so he wrote a letter and invited Mrs. Sheng to go north in person. Is it probably to prevent him from returning
After the Apricot Ranking, the most anticipated one is the Palace Examination.
It's just that this year's palace examination is later than previous years, because it is sandwiched between the emperor's wedding day.
Originally, Meng Bijun only accepted Yi's decree in early February and came out of the cabinet in early March. It was too early for ordinary people, let alone the royal family, but as Empress Dowager Meng was getting older, Emperor Xuanjing was very reluctant to accept this cousin as his successor. Both the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were worried about the long nights and dreamy dreams, and hoped to get things done quickly. They ignored the many red tapes and kept everything simple. After the second palace examination, King Gaomi and Meng each received new blood, and a big battle was bound to start. If you don't have time to hold a wedding for the emperor, you might as well take advantage of the little time between the apricot list and the palace examination to get it over with, so that you can fight each other wholeheartedly later.
So on the sixth day of March, Meng Bijun was carried into the imperial city by a mighty procession and entered the Wangchun Palace, becoming the second queen of Emperor Xuanjing.
At the wedding ceremony, according to the rules, all the three palaces and six courtyards of Emperor Xuan Jing should collectively pay homage to the young new queen to show their superiority and inferiority.
Sheng Weiqiao and others were not qualified to see this with their own eyes, but they heard news from the palace afterwards that all the other concubines had come to the Jingshao Hall of Wangchun Palace to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, but only the Shu sisters, One claimed to be ill and could not talk about his health; the other wanted to be public and asked his confidant, the palace maid, to say in front of everyone that his wife was too late to serve the emperor the night before, so the emperor told her not to go anywhere today and just rest in the palace.
"The two empresses Shu slapped the new queen in the face like this. How did the new queen do it?" Sheng Weiqiao was quite worried about Meng Bijun when he heard this and asked Huan Yehe in front of him.
