"... Isn't that a God-given opportunity!" Outside the study room with the doors and windows closed, Meng Guihan suppressed his excitement and said to Meng Guiyu, "I never thought that King Gaomi would be willing to give up Prince Mi Zhen! I beg Prince Mi Zhen to be honest. If he really died in Western Xinjiang, then the arrangement for him to stay in Chang'an will be an advantage for us!"
Meng Guiyu was not as excited as he was, but said calmly: "Don't forget, those two people in the palace told us that we can help to come up with ideas to protect Dong Mi Zhen. If Mi Zhen was there at that time, We are both good and bad, the Shu sisters are willing to let us go?!"
"What are those two old women thinking?!" Meng Guihan heard this, as if a basin of ice water had been poured into his pocket, and said angrily, "You have already told them that Mi Zhen is Huan Guanlan's disciple, and they will never be wronged. Isn’t it so good-natured! But I was unwilling to break up with Mi Zhen, and even strictly ordered us not to spread the word... At that time, I was actually begging to protect him?!"
"Isn't it possible that those two old women have been pampered and frivolous all their lives by relying on your Majesty's favor, but now they plan to become a lowly and low-key person, so that they can become a secret servant?!"
"However, Mi Zhen is even cold to her biological parents, let alone their two so-called 'aunts'?!"
"It's simply fantastic!"
Meng Guiyu said: "How can the Shu sisters have such good intentions? The reason why they do that is simply because the secret is very useful to them!"
He lowered his eyes again, "Besides, I thought that King Gaomi and the Meng family were afraid of Huan Guanlan?"
Meng Guihan said in confusion: "Are the Shu sisters also afraid of Huan Guanlan? They have not fallen out of favor!"
"I don't even want to think about it. It was only a few days after Bidong ascended the throne that he was obsessed with the Shu sisters?" Meng Guiyu sneered, "To put it bluntly, I hope that Huan Guanlan will abide by his duties as a minister and give in. Seriously?" If he had fought with Bidong to the end, the foundation of the Meng family was not stable at that time. He begged Bidong to depose him and establish him as King of Gaomi or King of Guangling. Wouldn't it be easier than the Shu sisters driving him back to Bishui County? Such a master has been missing for more than ten years. , God knows what they are doing?"
"It's said that it's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. Once what he has done in the past ten years is not revealed, the nobles of Chang'an City will not be able to settle down in Donglai!"
"Otherwise, I will look at the Jishan bandits. Well, now they are in the Jishan camp, which is a clear example!"
"If Mi Zhen hadn't gone to Western Xinjiang and used the ambush, who would have thought that they were related to Huan Guanlan?!"
"No wonder the Shu sisters knew that Mi Zhen had no good intentions when approaching them, but they wanted to continue pretending!" Meng Guihan said suddenly, "But if such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... is missed, wouldn't it be too shameful?"
Meng Guiyu's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he said: "I said no! We were a little too hasty in doing things before, so that Mi Zhen's legs were already aware of it. He had expected that Yue Mi Zhen's questioning would come over. . If Ruru’s army invades the western frontier, it’s rare for heaven to be on our side!”
He pondered for a while, "Mi Zhen must not die now, or even be completely defeated! Otherwise, although the Shu sisters cannot spare us, in fact, it may not be a good thing for us! After all, is it because of the existence of him and King Gaomi? It took most of Meng's energy and attention away, giving us the opportunity to do something secretly! Once he has a problem and Meng frees up his legs, it will be difficult to hide our actions!"
"Bu Nao, don't miss the opportunity of Yandong... It's best if Xijiang remains in a stalemate for a period of time when you come to the east. This will not only contain Mi Zhen, but also prevent him from paying attention to Chang'an, which is convenient. We are poaching; and we have fulfilled the Shu sisters’ request!”
"That's not a good idea!" Meng Guihan said worriedly, "Ruru will not listen to us! And it is said that the military equipment in Western Xinjiang is very corrupt. If it comes into contact with Ruru's main force, it will probably collapse at the first touch! If the rescue of the Northern Xinjiang Army is not timely, Mi Zhen is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself! If the Northern Xinjiang Army rescues in time, there will be Northern Xinjiang Army generals to fight with Ruru. He will probably be in the rear, but how can he not free up his legs? "
Meng Guiyu thought about it for a long time, but could not think of a suitable solution. Just when he was worried, someone from the East came to report that there was a message from Queen Meng, asking him to discuss urgent matters. .
Queen Meng lived deep in the palace. Because she was a nominal queen, she had never spent the night with Emperor Xuanjing, and she had no actual power to preside over the Sixth Palace. Therefore, she was very ill-informed when it came to the court.
At that time, she said that there was an urgent matter. Brothers Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan didn't take it seriously at first. After hearing this, they said, "I know!"
Meng Guihan was begging to tell Dongren that the Shu sisters had given orders, and he was afraid that Meng Guiyu would not have time to see the queen in those two months. Fortunately, Meng Guiyu asked more: "Do you know if there has been anything recently?" Who went to see the Queen?"
The Dongren said: "It seems that Mrs. Ningweihou wanted to ask the Queen for some rare brocades because she wanted to deny the marriage of the eldest son of the Sheng family. Ningweihou was also rewarded with that kind of brocades, but her family's son was very rich before. When the Lord of Kangzhao County came out of the cabinet, the portion was all used up. When it was the turn of the eldest son of the Sheng family, he couldn't take it out. Mrs. Ning Weihou thought that the Queen and the Lord of Kangzhao had a close personal relationship, so she wanted to ask the Queen if there was any. The rest? Initially, the Queen went to the Queen Mother in person, spent a long time, opened the Queen Mother's private treasury, and gave ten pieces to Mrs. Ning Weihou."
The two brothers exchanged glances after hearing this, and their expressions became serious. Meng Guiyu stood up and said, "Seventh brother, I'll wait there while he goes into the palace to have a look!"
"Brother Six, I'm asking for something big!" As he expected, he entered the palace city through the corner gate with ease and took a deserted path all the way to Wangchun Palace. Queen Meng had already cleared the place to treat her, and when they met, she said straight away, "Meng The family colluded with Ruru and conspired inside and outside to kill Kang Zhao Weimizhen, because the family officials defected in the face of battle, which has been confirmed by Gaomi King Weimizhen!!!"
Meng Guiyu's pupils suddenly shrank, he clenched his fist hard, and then asked in a deep voice: "Jia Gan defected before the battle?!"
"Kang Zhao was escorting Lu Shiyu's troops out of Western Xinjiang at that time. Because he was afraid that Lu Shiyu would find out about her tipping off information, he couldn't give a long speech, so he could only hastily explain the whole story." Empress Meng frowned and whispered quickly. , "It is said that Meng sent Gao Queyi to pretend to be a steward in the caravan and secretly sneaked into Western Xinjiang to do this. Maybe he thought that once the incident happened, he would push the Gao family out as a scapegoat, so he didn't tell the family at all. Gan said! The Keke family grew up in northern Xinjiang over the years and saw a lot of Ruru's cruelty. He had been disgusted with Ruru for a long time and could not accept such an approach. So when he was forcibly sent out of Yizhou City by Gao Queyi, he planned to kill her. In order to obey the orders of Gao Qieyi, Lieutenant General Meng Cheng found Lu Shiyu's tribe and surrendered! In turn, he and Lu Shiyu's tribe ambushed Ruru's Nafu Zhen!"
"Kangzhao County Lord is already leaving Western Xinjiang?!" Meng Guiyu was stunned, but ignored Meng Jiaqian and asked hurriedly, "Then where does the County Lord plan to go after receiving Donglai?"
Queen Meng looked at him inexplicably: "Kang Zhao is pregnant. After leaving Xijiang, of course he will come to Chang'an!"
"Chang'an?" Meng Guiyu narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who she has with her?"
The queen frowned and said suspiciously: "My family in Bu Xin is going to defect, so what are you asking me for?"
Meng Guiyu was panic-stricken and had no intention of fooling the queen at that moment. He said bluntly: "He has done some things recently, which I'm afraid Mi Zhen will not tolerate! If the Lord of Kangzhao County comes back at that time, there will be someone with Mi Zhen's legs accompanying him." He was accompanied by capable men, so he came to him even if he couldn't help it. Then of course he wants to make things right so that he won't be disgraced in time!"
"What have I done?" Queen Meng asked in surprise, "Why didn't I tell him?"
Meng Guiyu said: "If you don't tell me, wouldn't it be unfinished? We have to hide our meeting from the uncle and the others. Time is so tight. Of course, we should talk about unfulfilled things as soon as possible... Let's be serious. Right!"
The queen looked at him with distrustful eyes for a moment. After all, because she couldn't find any other collaborators, she reluctantly accepted the explanation and continued: "Kang Zhao didn't say it in the letter, and Mrs. Ning Weihou didn't mention it either. After all, it was the most urgent thing at that time. Doesn’t it mean that King Gaomi and Mi Zhen caught Meng’s collusion with Ruru? That’s not a good thing. Meng can’t bear the burden and just walk around. Isn’t it a good thing if he wronged me?”
Although their cousins had no favorable impressions of the Meng family, they even hated that family more than some outsiders who had nothing to do with the Meng family. But the reality is that they may not have a share in the glory and power of that family; that family has suffered a tragedy, and it is difficult for them to escape!
Queen Meng was upset and said: "So, what should I do now?!"
