"But neither of us have the ability to intervene in this matter at the moment!" After hearing this, Queen Meng closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said calmly, "Neither the King of Gaomi nor the Meng family are stupid. What you can guess, they can't Will they become suspicious? If so, how could they give Mi Zhen a chance to return to the mountain now? "
Seeing Meng Guiyu looking at her, the queen thought thoughtfully, "You mean... the Shu sisters?"
The Shu sisters have regarded Rong Suihe as their heir, or to be precise, as their support in their later years. Of course, they will not allow anyone to stop anything that is beneficial to Rong Suihe!
Although Queen Meng did not have a good relationship with the two sisters, there was no need for her to go to the door to report the news herself, otherwise Meng would not be the first to spare her... She just had to find a way to reveal the news to the Shu sisters. After all, the two sisters had many close associates installed in Wangchun Palace. Otherwise, why would the Meng family have so many of their own people come into the palace to serve as bodyguards
Isn't it just because of an oversight that Queen Meng will be killed by the Shu sisters for no apparent reason
"Mi Zhen is a shrewd person. If we don't tell the Shu sisters, he will send someone to remind him." Meng Guiyu shook his head when he heard this, "So there is no need for us to do this... I want you to come forward in person. It was my aunt who convinced me!"
Queen Meng was startled for a moment, then said: "Aunt... In aunt's mind, I do have some status, but you should know that this status cannot be compared with the entire Meng family! Otherwise, I would not have done it before. I will live in Zheng Guogong's palace full of resentment, and I will feel relieved even if I enter the palace as a widow."
She breathed out, "Do you think my aunt is willing to listen to me about something that is obviously not good for Meng? It would be better if she didn't reprimand me for turning my elbows outward!"
Meng Guiyu said calmly: "Let me tell the truth, my aunt has never been a smart person. She has been listening to other people's words her whole life!"
"No matter how smart my aunt is, I am not the only one who can get in touch with her now!" Queen Meng reminded him, "Meng always goes straight to see her! Even if I persuade her temporarily, when Meng enters the palace later, Ask, isn’t it true that all our efforts have been wasted and I will have to be beaten?”
Meng Guiyu looked at her with a speechless look for a while, and then said: "We all know that the Shu sisters have regarded Mi Zhen as their heirs, and whenever these two sisters ask for anything, our Majesty will grant it... Why is Mi Zhen now Or is it that the children of the Gaomi King and his wife have never been adopted by the Shu sisters?"
"..." The Queen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean them?!"
Meng Guiyu said happily: "The reason why the Shu sisters dare not mention it is mainly because although Mi Zhen is the son of King Gaomi, she is not close to King Gaomi, and she is also unfamiliar with King Gaomi's right-hand man. As for our Meng family, I don't want to see him even more! So if we give him the identity of Dong Palace when he has no foundation, I'm afraid there will be countless open and secret attacks. Then he will have three advantages and two disadvantages, but he will teach the Shu sisters what to do. ?”
"But now, Ruru is trespassing, what does this mean?!"
"It means that all the troops in Northern Xinjiang will be contained, and all the years of hard work of the Meng family and King Gaomi in the army will be hindered!"
"The only ones that can be used at this moment are the forces of the DPRK and China!"
"In this way, the pressure on Mi Zhen will naturally be greatly reduced... At this time, if the Shu sisters take the opportunity to establish the crown prince position for Mi Zhen, you also know that this person is talented and agile. With his righteous name and no threat of military power, Who knows if this will make him soar to the sky, causing the King of Gaomi to confront the Meng family for decades, but all of them have been a stepping stone for him?!"
Queen Meng pondered for a moment and frowned: "Whether it's the King of Gaomi or the Meng family, they are all deeply rooted. No matter how powerful Mi Zhen is, she is still young. Now that she is in the East Palace, how sure is she that she can defeat them? What's more, no matter how powerful Gaomi is, she is still young. The king is still the Meng family, how can he be a good thing if he says something unpleasant? If they are really cornered by Mi Zhen, even if the northern border is still at war, they may not be able to open the door to the thieves! "
"You can think of this, but our aunt may not." But Meng Guiyu reminded her calmly, "You only need to pretend to be worried about your future and go to your aunt every three days to talk about it. And Gui Huan has already If you are pregnant, if Mi Zhen is still in Chang'an when the child is born, do you think he can help the Shu sisters find a way to prevent the child from being adopted and raised by you?!"
"The Shu sisters are already difficult enough, but if Mi Zhen is added to the mix... the Gaomi King faction will definitely not let go of this opportunity to push things along and add fuel to the fire. By then, do you think the Meng family will be able to avoid having a headache? "
Meng Guiyu said slowly and calmly, "Let Mi Zhen go to Western Xinjiang. It just so happens that Ruru is committing a large-scale invasion of the country. Maybe some experts will be sent to infiltrate the country and assassinate the powerful?"
"Is this a hint to my aunt to ask Mi Zhen to go to Western Xinjiang and kill people on the way?" Queen Meng nodded and said, "Not only my aunt will hear this, I guess Meng will also consider it after knowing it. But..."
She frowned, "What if Mi Zhen is really dead? And Kang Zhao, she is Mi Zhen's wife now, but she will go to Western Xinjiang with Mi Zhen! I have told you before that it is okay to plot against Mi Zhen, but Kang Zhao can’t move!”
Meng Guiyu said: "You really underestimate Mi Zhen! Do you really think he is a good person? Not to mention anything else, let's just say that he brought the Gongsun family from Chang'an, who has been a bandit for four generations. It can be said that he is stepping on corpses. People who come from mountains and seas of blood are obedient in front of him. Do you think it's just for the sake of the Sheng family?! If so, this group of people has been in Chang'an for a while, why don't you see them going to pay their respects to the old man of the Sheng family? ? Apparently what really impressed them was not the Sheng family who had been colluding for a long time, but Mi Zhen!"
"I have heard that the Gongsun family is a famous pirate bandit in the Nanfeng County area. The number of people who came to Chang'an with Mi Zhen this time is only about 200 people. Do you think that with such a small number of people, they can fight in the sea? Such a name on the vast sea?"
"Apparently they still have a large group of people who haven't shown up!"
"I think Ba Cheng did it deliberately by Mi Zhen. The purpose is to show off his talents after going to Western Xinjiang!"
"To put it bluntly, if he hadn't had this trump card, I don't think he would have taken the idea of Xijiang at all! After all, His Majesty is over fifty, and there is not much time left for him. He only has money and no manpower. Why does he think that Can you turn around after going to Xijiang?!"
"So Meng's plan to kill him after he leaves Chang'an is simply a dream!"
He sneered, "Not to mention that Mi Zhen has someone in his hands who is not that easy to kill; even if he doesn't have as many people as Meng... isn't it true that we still have to tip him off?!"
The queen narrowed her eyes: "Meng will not tell me such a thing! If I inquire, it will only arouse their suspicion."
As for Meng Guiyu, "They don't even have time to guard against you now, so they may not tell you, right?"
"Why do they need to tell me?" Meng Guiyu smiled coldly and said, "Mi Zhen is the heir favored by the Shu sisters and is quite capable. How can the Meng family feel at peace if they don't get rid of him? ? Such a key person has a distinguished status, and the wife who will go to work together is also rich and pampered. Just to serve them two, there will be no shortage of servants, let alone bodyguards. In this case, do you think the Meng family will send three people? Are five masters safe?"
He said contemptuously, "They have sent many people. After all, we have been Meng's children for so many years. How can we not find any clues?"
Then he said, "Tell your aunt again to send Mi Zhen away from Chang'an quickly while everyone is shocked by the news of Ruru's invasion. He must not have expected that we will attack him at this time." , it’s just that our minds are focused on the north! My aunt will definitely be persuaded by this."
Queen Meng pondered for a while and said: "It's okay for me to tell my aunt like this, but it's hard to say whether my aunt will change her mind because of the advice of other people in the Meng family. Especially I have a good relationship with Kang Zhao. Since she married Mi Zhen, my aunt has not allowed me to interact with her frequently. If my aunt sees any flaws in this, I'm afraid she will scold me in turn."
She was not afraid of being scolded, but she was mainly worried that the plan would not work out and would lead to closer supervision from Meng.
"You don't have to worry about this, because the Gao family will also help." Meng Guiyu said calmly, "Didn't Gao Chengxuan have to stop before the gold medal because his leg was broken by Jia Yan and his appearance was ruined? Later, he was arrested for flower appreciation. Regarding the banquet, my aunt sent me back to Jiangnan?"
Empress Meng was extremely disgusted with Gao Chengxuan. After all, she had never gotten along with her nephew, so there was no relationship. Gao Chengxuan's mother and son both had domineering personalities, and his mother, Meng Bichen, had even come to Wangchun Palace to make trouble. The two blood relatives hate each other from the bottom of their hearts.
In addition, this nephew once tried to make Sheng Weiqiao his plaything, and the queen wanted to kill him every time she thought about it.
At this moment, when he heard the words "Gao Chengxuan", he subconsciously frowned and said, "What kind of excitement is going on in this family?"
"But it was the second uncle's idea." Meng Guiyu said happily, "After all, Gao Chengxuan is the only male heir of the fifth sister and his wife. The second uncle has always loved the fifth sister and thought about the Gao family's years of dedication, so he thought that Gao Chengxuan would It’s not good to be in such a state of despair. Although the path to becoming an official through the imperial examination is cut off, isn’t there still a way to join the army?”
According to the rules of selecting officials in the dynasty, in order to become an official through the imperial examination, one must have no stuttering, no disability, no serious illness, and no disfigurement. However, military generals do not have such requirements. After all, they are fighting in front of the battle, and it is difficult to decide whether they will live or die. If they have to cut their posts to serve the people once they are disabled and disfigured, how can this military spirit be used
"Does the second uncle want Gao Chengxuan to go to Western Xinjiang?" Queen Meng asked unexpectedly, "Then the Gao family still hopes that Mi Zhen will go to Western Xinjiang as soon as possible? Are they so impatient to see Gao Chengxuan die?!"
Although Gao Chengxuan was at the top of the previous apricot list and Rong Suihe also won the Yayuan, the queen knew that this was mainly because Gao Chengxuan had the support of the Meng family and Rong Suihe had not received the support of the Gaomi Palace at that time.
In terms of real skill, a person like Gao Chengxuan, who had his parents to protect him since childhood, is almost on the same level as Sheng Weiqiao, that is, he is more vicious than Sheng Weiqiao. Rong Suihe could play him to death without any effort at all!
"How is it possible for him to go to Western Xinjiang alone to fight with Mi Zhen? Isn't that sending food?" Meng Guiyu said lightly, "Some time ago, the third brother heard that Mi Zhen planned to go to Western Xinjiang, so he said he wanted to Send Jia Gan to the army in Western Xinjiang to control him. And if Gao Chengxuan goes there, the third brother does not expect him to be able to help Jia Gan himself. He only hopes that the fifth sister and his wife love their son very much and will donate generously because of him."
The "family leader" he was talking about was Meng Boqin's fifth legitimate son. He was always smart and courageous, and was Meng Boqin's favorite son. It's a pity that the ranking is too low, and Meng Boqin's eldest son is not mediocre. For the sake of family harmony, it is not easy to be too nurturing.
This time, the Meng family was asked to join the Western Xinjiang Army. It was said that it was to control Rong Suihe, but in fact, it was also a chance for Meng Boqin to give his son a chance to show off.
"That's fair enough!" Queen Meng nodded and frowned, "But the Gao family has so much confidence in Jia Gan? Although Jia Gan is outstanding, I think Mi Zhen is more difficult to deal with."
Meng Guiyu muttered: "It's not anything else. The Gao family is mainly interested in the dowry of the Kangzhao County Lord. Do you think that I came up with the idea of intercepting Mi Zhen's group on the road and framing Ruru? However, it was the Gao family who tried their best to persuade their second uncle. After killing Mi Zhen, the head of Kangzhao County, a spoiled and raised female family member, was not at the mercy of him? He was forced to live in a corner for a year and a half. After having a child, the Sheng family No matter how angry or hateful you are, what can you do to the child's biological father? By then, won't it be a matter of course that the Kangzhao County Lord's huge dowry will be obtained?"
The queen was startled, with a chill in her eyes, and sneered: "This family is considered a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. How could we be greedy like this! The pirates in Qihai still want to change their ways and come ashore. They are on the shore. This is a crime of banditry." My heart makes even the pirates of the Seven Seas feel ashamed!"
"People don't think so." Meng Guiyu said, "They think that the reason why the Sheng family rose is because of selling stolen goods with pirates? In the same county, the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family must not be clean! In this case, Then the dowry of Lord Kangzhao is all ill-gotten gains! If you don’t take it, you won’t get it for nothing, and we still hope to get it as soon as possible!”
"How do you know these things?" The queen looked gloomy for a while and asked suspiciously.
