Meng made the decision to support Meng Guiyu at the persuasion of Zheng Guogong, and with the imperial edict of Emperor Xuan Jing, it was difficult for the Gaomi King's faction to support him. After two months of intense court discussions, the position of General Zuo Weiwei was finally determined. When Meng Guiyu arrived, he was there.
The Gaomi King of Bu Nao couldn't do anything, so they simply asked people to spread rumors in the market, saying that Queen Meng actually touched the maid who was cheating the concubine, and she would not have fallen out of the porthole, but she could smear the concubine. Because of her reputation, she took the initiative to jump out of the window... Otherwise, if she also fell from the height of the ship, why did Concubine Shu fall to the deck and be seriously injured on the spot? How come Queen Meng was so lucky that she did not fall to the side of the ship, but Did he fall into the water
Therefore, what happened to the imperial concubine was not a conspiracy of the Meng family at all, and the purpose was to frame the innocent General Zuo Weiwei so that Meng Guiyu, a descendant of the Meng family, could take his place!
After the news reached the Chunbo Lake Navy, the public was naturally excited. They were full of hostility towards Meng Guiyu, who had not been in office for a long time, and they were all gearing up, determined to embarrass him enough to seek justice for Ouyang Hu, the veteran commander. !
The three brothers of Zheng Guogong were happy to see the consequences of this mistake. They wished that Meng Guiyu could not suppress the Chunbo Lake Navy and had to accept the "kind help" of their three uncles. Therefore, in addition to trying to explain the Dongmeng family in front of the Shu sisters, In addition to not murdering the imperial concubine, not only did he not spread the rumors publicly, but he also encouraged the Chunbo Lake Navy to cause greater trouble for Meng Guiyu.
After Meng Guiyu received the appointment, he remained silent for a long time and managed to make an appointment with Rong Suihe that night.
The place where they met was the one he chose, a three-in house not far from Chongxin Bo's Mansion.
"He bought that place a few years ago. He originally planned to make a dowry for Gui Huan." Meng Guiyu, who had just met and lost a lot of weight in just a few days, said, "At that time, he planned to make a dowry for Gui Huan." Well, if she wants to choose a husband for her from among Mingke's Jinshi, she doesn't need to have a good family background, just a good person. In order to avoid the couple's family difficulties after marriage, he has prepared a house, farm, shop, jewelry, clothing... . But I didn’t expect... "
He shook his head and did not continue talking about going east.
Rong Suihe said consolingly: "I have made an exception and promoted General Zuoweiwei to take charge of the military. He may not have the opportunity to seek justice for us brothers and sisters. It is time to turn grief and anger into motivation, and think about how to turn around and ask for help. Isn’t this the position of General Weiwei who is lying on the ground?"
"Speaking of that promotion..." When they shut up, the two of them had already gone out. Meng Guiyu had already prepared. There was no one inside or outside, and he didn't even make the tea himself. When he heard this, he revealed With a thoughtful look, "Should he thank the prince properly?"
Rong Suihe smiled, took the tea he handed him and blew on the foam, but did not drink it, but put it back on the table, and said slowly: "I'd like to thank you, but I don't mind if you don't." So-called. After all, I also know that he must have his own calculations for doing that, and it is absolutely wrong. Is it purely for my consideration that he gave Shu Zhaoyi advice like that."
"As expected!" Meng Guiyu nodded and said, "It was very strange when he received the imperial edict. He is not of the Meng family's blood. Even if the King of Gaomi intends to provoke a fight between the Meng family, he cannot be killed. That kind of real power, especially the position of military power, was given to him. As for the Meng family, Chong Wuyan would not give him a chance to stand up after their relationship with each other! And although the Shu sisters have been bewitching the emperor all day long and lingering in the harem, they have been involved in political affairs. But I don’t know much about it. Even if Meng has bad intentions, he probably won’t be able to think of such a way.”
After a pause, "After much thought, it's me!"
Rong Suihe said "hmm" and asked, "If I invite him over tomorrow night, can we just talk about that?"
Meng Guiyu picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, and said with a sad expression: "That's right... He has something urgent to ask for. Want to hear my opinion?"
Rong Suihe made a "Please tell me" leg gesture.
"No..." Meng Guiyu's eyes flickered and he leaned towards him, as if because the matter was too important, he wanted to whisper even if they were alone outdoors.
But just when he was one foot away from Rong Suihe, he suddenly pulled out a short knife from his sleeve, aimed it at Rong Suihe's heart, and stabbed him hard!
Rong Suihe's expression remained unchanged, and he stretched out his legs steadily to strangle his legs and wrists.
Because the distance between the two was very close, the tip of the short knife had already touched the hem of his clothes at that moment, and it only needed an inch to penetrate Rong Suihe's heart.
But Meng Guiyu tried his best, but he couldn't let Duan Dangjie score even half a point!
After a moment of stalemate, Rong Suihe shook his head in disbelief, snatched the knife from his leg, and with an understatement, broke a hundred steel-making knife into two pieces in front of him, and threw it to the ground with his leg. exist.
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of the broken knife falling onto the green brick seemed to be the sound of Meng Guiyu's hope being shattered.
The blazing flames in the depths of his pupils were extinguished instantly, and he looked at Rong Suihe blankly.
Rong Suihe didn't even blink, and said calmly: "What's the matter, should I continue?"
"...I don't think I'm surprised?" Of course Meng Guiyu couldn't continue to talk about going to the east. His so-called pressing matter was just to deceive the opportunity to get close to assassinate Rong Suihe. There was silence for a long time before speaking hoarsely. The voice said, "Actually, he saw that I hadn't drank tea since I came in. He even took a sip on purpose just now, trying to induce me to drink tea unconsciously. I didn't touch it, so I felt that tomorrow night... I would kill him. He can't help me anymore. Did I know early on that he was going to cheat on me tomorrow?"
"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not." Rong Suihe said calmly, "He has encountered a lot of assassinations and plots. I thought it was easy for Hai to make a living? For a layman like me, if I misunderstood his east leg, I would be wrong. If successful, he would have been buried under the sea long ago!”
He picked up the tea bowl with his legs and drank it in one gulp under Meng Guiyu's astonished eyes. "That kind of tea is just added with the kind of sweat medicine that can be found in a random drug store for tens of yuan a pack. I really thought he would drink it." Will you be at my mercy?"
"..." Meng Guiyu looked at Rong Suihe who was calm after drinking the flavored tea. He was speechless for a long time and then said, "I didn't ask him why he asked for my wrong leg?"
Rong Suihe chuckled lightly and said, "Is that a big question? I didn't have any grudges against him at first. When I wronged him, it was just a matter of whether or not we should re-enter the Five Banquets!"
"...I already knew this?" Meng Guiyu was silent for a while and said in a cold tone, "No, no?"
Without waiting for Rong Suihe to answer, he already said something else, "Of course I will know! After all, when I revealed his intention to get close to the big house, I had only been in Chang'an for a few days? Can I see through his intentions that he never told anyone? , how could you not see the true attitude of the first-bedroom, second-bedroom, and third-bedroom people who are wrong about their fourth-bedroom apartment?!"
After sighing for a long time, Meng Guiyu suddenly raised his voice, "Can I not say anything!!!"
“Not even a tactful reminder!!!”
"Just watching his sister being plotted!!!"
"Have I ever had a younger sister? Even if I am wrong about County Lord Kangzhao, I may not have the feelings of brother and sister. But Hui Huan, she is one year younger than County Lord Kangzhao... He helped me again and again, me… "
He was originally furious, but for some reason, when he said this, his spirits suddenly disappeared, and he felt that he could no longer continue to question Dong Dong: In any case, Meng Guihuan had fallen into the trap, and he wanted to be careful with him after all. If you miss out on your choice of sister-in-law, what's the use of having an argument with Rong Suihe at that moment
Seeing Meng Guiyu's tears streaming down his face, Rong Suihe said calmly: "Isn't it obvious that my three uncles had bad intentions for our fourth room? I am addicted to the idea of relying on them to get ahead. I don't want to When I woke up, even if he had told me that... would I believe him? Do I think he was trying to sow discord
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "As the saying goes, there is a truth to the saying that we are not close if we are not close. Besides, why do I think that my relationship with him is so profound that he would make mistakes in my frequent and sincere advice?"
He added, "Since I know that he is wrong about Kang Zhaocun's brother-sister relationship, how can I wish that my sister would receive similar treatment in his mind? He has no idea of having three wives and four concubines!"
Meng Guiyu cried silently for a long time before gathering his emotions. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his face. He said in a hoarse voice: "In terms of background, he plays with Duke Zheng and others. In terms of his mind, he plays with me. In terms of status... Ha! He plays with me. I used to think... forget it, let's talk about that, he actually knows that with my background, there is nothing he can do wrong, he... "
"Do I want to find a punching bag? It's best if he is willing to listen to the bitterness and hardships of us brothers and sisters relying on each other for many years. It is very warm to support each other and cry with me?" Rong Suihe interrupted him, He said lightly, "It's just that he is neither willing to be a punch bag nor interested in hearing about our brother and sister's past... In fact, he is short of someone in his leg. Just now, he just broke the knife in my leg. Otherwise, use it to send me and my brothers and sisters east!"
Seeing Meng Guiyu's stunned expression, he sneered, "Do you know why I was so miserably plotted by my three uncles and my aunt, the Queen Mother?"
Meng Guiyu's mind was in chaos at that moment, and Dong shook his head consciously.
"Because I have suffered a lot and have a cruel heart!" Rong Suihe said indifferently, "As the saying goes, one gains wisdom after one has suffered. No matter how wise the elders teach you, if you don't experience it yourself, it will be difficult to remember it. . He gave me a ready-made example of Kang Zhao. Her parents and grandfather are actually very smart people, and her aunt is a powerful figure who is not to be outdone by women! But I think she looks innocent... Of course he doesn't It doesn’t matter if she’s naive or not. He’s here anyway!”
"The ancients once said in a poem that the paper will eventually become shallow after you get it. You must know this and practice it. This is not the truth!"
"Our parents died young. One aunt and three uncles hold grudges against each other and we ignore them... but that's all!"
"Compared to those families who rush to fight for family property and land after seeing the death of a brother and his wife, and even secretly sell their young nephews and nieces to human traffickers... are our fortunes good enough?"
"So even though we brothers and sisters were resentful to our aunts and uncles, the Queen Mother sent me a letter and gave me a little benefit. We quickly accepted it, regarded ourselves as descendants of the Meng family, and stood in front of the entire Meng family. Consider the pros and cons from a different perspective!”
"In the final analysis, it is because they have wronged us so harshly that we have high expectations for them!"
"I even feel that I can take advantage of the conflicts between them and plot against them..."
"However, I have forgotten that my aunt, the Queen Mother, and my three uncles, why were they born well in their early years? The Meng family has a bright moon, and it only depends on the four of them!"
"Although it has been said that the Queen Mother's family will definitely have a period of prosperity, I must not forget, under what circumstances did the Meng family rise?"
"The biggest rebel who has been revealed is King Gaomi, who is the descendant of the clan who has received the late emperor's full support and legacy!"
"Besides, I thought that as an auxiliary minister, Duke Huan would like to see his relatives become more powerful?"
"Is Duke Huan a veteran of two dynasties who even the late emperor could do nothing about? He is a great Confucian overseas and has students all over the world!"
"Under the pressure of those two, my three uncles, who are not even talented people, have developed the Meng family, which was not even an ordinary wealthy family, into a prosperous one... But I thought that they could be used and calculated. They are so naive, why is it so strange to be tricked by them?"
Meng Guiyu's expression changed several times as he listened, and after a long time he said solemnly: "Maybe he's arrogant!"
He closed his eyes tiredly, and there was deep regret and pain in his voice, "If I had known Mingyue, he should not have gotten close to the Queen Mother and the First Fang..."
"In that case, my sister will be dragged out to be a chess piece?" Rong Shuihe heard the words and sneered, and said lightly, "And I am not even qualified to get the position of General Ruming Zuoweiwei, let alone the position of General Ruming. Let’s hope for justice for my sister!”
He said slowly, "Let me wake up! The Meng family just needs an imperial heir who has the blood of the Meng family and is young enough to be adopted and raised by Queen Meng! As long as this goal can be achieved at the minimum cost, our four-bedroom Girls can't hide away! Don't say that I don't take the initiative to get in front of the Queen Mother and the others. If I had married off both sisters early, believe it or not, just ask them to live. The Meng family would have let them live with King Guangling. Something like this caused a 'misunderstanding' between the clan members and forced them to enter the Guangling Prince's Mansion?"
Meng Guiyu felt his legs and feet were cold when he heard it. He was confused for a moment and smiled miserably: "He knows what I mean! For Meng, the existence of their fourth room will not provide chess pieces or victims! If he wants to resist, if he wants If you want revenge... is there a way to become my chess piece?"
He took a deep breath, "Then... why should I let him believe that I won't treat them wrong like Meng did?!"
Rong Suihe glanced at him in surprise: "Why does he ask me to believe it? Do I have any other choice?"
"..." Meng Guiyu was silent for a long time again, and suddenly said, "He is very curious about what kind of bitterness and misery I experienced during the fifteen years that the Duke and I were living abroad, which made me have no trust in the Gaomi King and his wife, so that Would you rather hand over Chunbo Lake Naval Division to him than seize that opportunity to contribute to King Gaomi?"
When he asked, he actually didn't really want to know anything. He was angry that Nao Rong Sleeping Crane had been suppressed by him and wanted to stab Rong Sleeping Crane.
I don't want Rong Shuihe to smile slightly and said: "Uncle Chongxin, he is different from me! For me, it's despairing hatred and unforgettable shame, but for him, it's like the edge of a sword emerges from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms emerges from the bitter cold. Come! After all, all the grievances that can be avenged at any time and the difficulties and obstacles that have been overcome are just stepping stones before reaching the top!"
Seeing his unpretentious calmness and the full confidence in his starry eyes, Meng Guiyu held his chest and took a deep breath for a long time before resisting the urge to pounce on him and fight him desperately... Lord, he knows. I will definitely fight hard.
