Previously, the men of the Meng family came to Western Xinjiang concealing their identity, thinking that their uncle would open up trade routes and gain favors in front of him. Later, they learned that Meng suspected that behind Rong Suihe was the emperor's master Huan, who had been missing for many years. After visiting Lan, I realized that Gao Qieyi didn't say it clearly, but in fact, it was because of this that he set out to travel thousands of miles.
Because of his young age, Huan Guanlan was ten years old when he disappeared. At that time, Huan Guanlan had been slandered by Er Shujin and left the court, and had returned to Bishui County to live for some time.
Therefore, the Meng family did not have much respect for the imperial master, and even felt that the world's praise for Huan Guanlan was a bit too much. After all, if that person was really that powerful, how could he be expelled by a mere concubine
As for the fact that Huan Guanlan tried hard to maintain his throne in front of the late emperor, so that the late emperor could not establish the prince he wanted until his death, Meng Jiaqian believed that this was obviously because the late emperor was too helpless.
Otherwise, like his direct grandfather Zheng Guogong, who, after being disgusted with his stepmother, promoted his concubines and coquettishly talked to his three wives, and had been trembling for many years to squeeze Madam Xiang and her son, who would dare to say more to Madam Xiang and the others
Even though Jiaoyu was tragically lost last year, and even her daughter Meng Fifteen and Meng Lijiang were not married, this does not negate the victory earned by Mrs. Xiang. It can be said that they got a bargain. However, in fact, Zheng Guogong never wanted to see Mrs. Xiang and his mother, even without Jiaoyu.
Therefore, in Meng Jiaqian's view, the late emperor, who was a dignified emperor but could not establish a ruthless son as the heir apparent, was incredibly useless.
Huan Guanlan, who is said to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and recognized as a giant in the court, does not need to be paid attention to.
At this moment, Huan Guanlan was very wary when he saw Gao Guanlan and his appearance was wrong. He couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, given Huan Guanlan's powerful position when he was in the government, to put it bluntly, Er Shu slandered His Majesty Dong and asked him to be expelled. At that time, even if he couldn't make Bidong think about the kindness he had wronged Bidong's mother and son and change his mind, if he rejected him, he would choose King Gaomi at worst! How could he ask the two concubines who were serving people in Israel to rush back to their hometown? ! Such a person, even if he once lived in Gao Wei Nao, would he make us so afraid?!"
"What do my children know?" However, Gao Qieyi was unmoved by what he said, and said coldly, "They have speculated about Huan Guanlan's move for many months, but they still have no clue... But combined with his If they hide behind the scenes for a while but push Mi Zhen out, they hope their guess is not true!"
Meng Jiaqian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that because Huan Guanlan, who had been missing for many years, was suspected to be standing behind Rong Suihe, Meng was worried that the imperial master was so easily expelled from the court by Er Shu and returned to Bishui County. Then he disappeared suddenly and refused to show up for many years. Was it because he had already planned to cultivate Rong Suihe!
As Huan Guanlan, all fools know what it means to personally cultivate a member of the royal family!
And that would mean that Huan Guanlan took longer to pave the way for Rong Suihe than Meng thought.
And more fully!
So how can Meng, who has been coveting the throne for a long time, not have a headache or go crazy? !
Not only the Meng family, but also people like Gao Qieyi, who have been paying attention to the Meng family for a long time, also feel that running a household is not easy: "I don't think that Huan Guanlan can be underestimated because he has hidden his head and dared not show up! There have been so many heroes who did not end well, but looking at their actions and words during their heyday, how can we deny their talent and courage?! As the saying goes, don't judge a hero by his success or failure, that's not true!"
"To put it bluntly, Mingzai's married wife, Wen's natal family, the Wen family after the dethronement, has disappeared from the court for some years, and has been quietly forgotten in those years. I think Were they vulnerable back then?! He told me that the intrigue surrounding the little prince born from the Little Wen family was so intense that I can't even think of it!"
Gao Qieyi did not explain the method in detail, but said softly, "During that time, Zheng Guogong stayed up for several days and nights, even having no time to drink water! It was not like that, nor was it because he was standing there with us. There were too many people around, especially King Gaomi, who was a ruthless son of the late emperor. Before the death of the late emperor, because the most beloved King Guangling was young, he gave him everything he could except the throne! "
"In addition to money, the confidants in the palace, all the ministers who can win over...these all played a big role in the death of the little prince!"
"Otherwise, it would be because of the slackness in government affairs. Considering the age of the young prince, I am afraid that he has been supervising the country for several years. How can the Meng family and King Gaomi be in charge?!"
Only then did Meng Jiagan show a look of horror: "Uncle, we must not let Mi Zhen go east alive! After all, a Gaomi king is already evenly matched with our Meng family. Mi Zhen is not his biological son, even if their father and son are not alive at that time. Reconciliation, but after all we are not close relatives, who knows if one day we will suddenly reconcile and reunite with you?!"
Thinking of something else, he said in confusion, "That's wrong, uncle, the reason why Mi Zhen was able to come to Western Xinjiang smoothly was because of Er Shu's efforts! However, Er Shu and Huan Guanlan have a lot of grudges, why? Why don’t we tell Er Shu about Mi Zhen’s original connection with Huan Guanlan? If Er Shu knew that he had unknowingly become the backer of someone supported by Huan Guanlan, he would definitely not be willing to do so! Who can help? "Whether we target Mi Zhen or Huan Guanlan, wouldn't it be easier?"
Gao Qieyi said happily: "What I said is wrong, but no, even we ourselves can't guess that Huan Guanlan is standing behind Mi Zhen! All precautions cannot be taken in advance! So, what can I ask for? Let Ershu, who is in the palace, empty of knees and in urgent need of an heir, believe that what I say is true, and that I am not deliberately trying to sow discord between them and their satisfied heir?!"
Meng Jiaqian said in a daze: "But Mi Zhen's public background has always been in Nanfeng County and has nothing to do with Western Xinjiang. It is really unreasonable for a person to get the surrender of Jishan bandits without even entering Western Xinjiang!"
"That is indeed unreasonable, but the world is full of wonders." Gao Queyi said indifferently, "Actually, let's not talk about other things, let's talk about Ershu himself. When they were practicing dance tremblingly in the east residence of Princess Wuyang Palace, , I don’t think they would have thought that they would be able to serve the emperor one day? Let alone whether the emperor would blame them for indulging in their indulging in even their heirs!”
"It would be fine if Mi Zhen is just an unknown person, but he is of noble birth, lives abroad, is a high-ranking scholar, and has good looks... The head of the Jishan Bandits is not a woman. I beg the head of Wu." I was engaged to the former Lord Shaohai of Tortoiseshell Island. At that time, everyone in the teahouses in Chang'an was afraid that they would start talking about the love story between Prince Mi Zhen and the female village owner of the bandit!"
"Once I tell Er Shu about this matter, but Er Shu doesn't believe it, it's like a warning, which makes Mi Zhen defensive, making it more difficult to pay by mistake! It's better to suppress it temporarily and wait until there is evidence a month later. What other opportunities does Yong Wan have? , explain it to Er Shu again, and catch him off guard!"
Meng Jiaqian was speechless and remained silent for a while, then said: "But since Mi Zhen's flaw has been exposed, we will keep a close eye on Jie Dong, and we can always find evidence. Er Shu's silence in front of Bi Dong is too powerful, but It’s always a good thing to win their help.”
Gao Qieyi said: "That's natural. Bu Nao..."
His face became solemn and he said word by word, "Actually, before he left, the message from Chang'an mentioned one point: If there really is Huan Guanlan standing behind Mi Zhen, then the Jishan pirates will surrender to Mi Zhen. Did this happen accidentally, was it a last resort, or was it... intentional?!"
Meng Jiaqian was startled and said, "On purpose?"
"He is Zhao Shi's direct nephew. Although he has been living abroad for many years and is alienated from his blood relatives." Gao Qieyi said, "But after all, they are related by blood, especially Zhao Shi, who is the most ruthless and talented person. He is not as good as his direct nephew." Why not protect it? When Mi Zhen went westward, most people actually guessed that he would ask Zhao Shi for help, just like me, he would borrow troops from Northern Xinjiang!"
"If he goes to borrow it, even if the King of Gaomi favors the crown prince and does not want him to succeed and blocks it, he will not agree to it based on his misunderstanding of Zhao Shi."
"If Mi Zhen borrows troops from Northern Xinjiang, with his talent, he can completely avoid using the Jishan Bandit card."
Gao Qieyi looked at Meng Jiaqian and said meaningfully, "And keeping the Jishan bandits may be useful in other ways one day. For example, if the Jishan bandits did not surrender to Mi Zhen, I would not think about it at that time. Recruit them?"
"..." Meng Jiagan's face tightened, and he said after a while, "Uncle is right! Mi Zhen has never been to Western Xinjiang before, and no one thought that he could make Jishan bandits surrender! So if he doesn't expose Jishan If he steals that card, he will definitely try to recruit them to surrender after he comes to Western Xinjiang.
Then, the Jishan bandits could just follow the tide and lurk next to him for external support!
When the time comes, Meng Jiaqian is afraid that he won’t even know how he died...
No matter how you think about it, you think that method is the best, but it can be as sinister as possible.
However, Rong Suihe has no intention of contacting Zhao Shi until now. Instead, he exposed the Jishan Bandits without any care, thus reminding people of the long-lost Imperial Master again... Then
Then why don't you have an affair
Meng Jiaqian hesitated and said: "Could it be...could something go wrong with Huan Guanlan? Mi Zhen was unable to control all the trump cards he had left in the east, and was worried that he would not be able to succeed. He deliberately used that method to make us suspicious. So you don’t dare to touch him easily?!”
"They also have guesses about the one I mentioned," Gao Qieyi said cautiously, "But I want to know, even if a person like Huan Guanlan is dead, if he dies suddenly and suddenly and there is no time to explain the funeral, we may be wrong. It's a good thing to say. But if he has the time to arrange his funeral, then we must go all out to deal with it! Otherwise, if we are not careful... we will definitely suffer a big defeat!!!"
"Actually, uncle, since we can't confirm whether Huan Guanlan is alive or dead at all now." Meng Jiagan thought for a while and suddenly said, "Why don't you want to be the east leg of the Huan family?! Huan Guanlan is clearly hiding behind the scenes, but the Huan family is It’s obviously red there!”
"Especially Uncle Yongyi's family, they are in Chang'an very soon!"
"Find dead men to sneak into Yongyi Bo's house at night, kill them in batches, set them on fire, and take away the most important people. After that, send a message to Mi Zhen, begging to talk to Huan Guanlan... Huan Guanlan will not even lose his own son. The life and death of flesh and blood are all in vain?!"
Hearing this, Gao Queyi looked at him like a fool: "I want to move Yongyi's Mansion?! Do I think that Gao Feng doesn't exist? Do I think that Huan Guanlan's name of 'Pearls all over the sky' is fake?! "
As an uncle, I don’t know what to say about that nephew. Not to mention that Huan Guanlan’s students are all over the government and the public in the east. He had thousands of disciples, and because of his outstanding knowledge, he was recognized as a great Confucian overseas. Countless people came to study with him, and his books and articles circulated to worship him and call him their teacher... It can be said that there are countless people.
With those people here, did Meng dare to touch the heirs of the Huan family at that time? Do you really think you can get away with it by sending a group of dead soldiers to cover your face? !
Once the matter is exposed, it will not offend all the scholars in Tiandong, and it will be recorded in history books and be infamy for thousands of years!
The most important thing is that since Huan Guanlan has been cruel enough not to contact his family for many years, who knows if he will insist on treating his family's life as if it is nothing
If it goes beyond this, the Meng family will have great fun. At the expense of their reputation from the Ming Dynasty to the future, they can now give the clues to the King of Gaomi... and get nothing in the end!
Even if the Meng family is powerful, they can't be so prodigal!
"..." The Meng family said sarcastically, "Is he confused by the Princess of Mi Zhen County? Thinking that after she framed her, she actually had the nerve to go to the Dai Mansion to make a fuss, so he wanted to retaliate."
"She is not a female prostitute, nor is she a county princess." When mentioning Sheng Weiqiao, Gao Qieyi frowned and said, "If you make more noise, we can't argue with her in person... At most, the Empress Dowager Dong Yi will reprimand her. Well, he guessed that the mistress' reprimand would be of no use, after all, it was the first time she met the Queen Mother and she dared to be petty and disrespectful."
Bu Nao Gao Qieyi couldn't swallow that tone in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "Such a powerful daughter-in-law, I wonder what Princess Gaomi of Chang'an thinks about her?"
