As the biological son of his beloved concubine Jiaoyu, Meng Sian had never seen his biological father Zheng Guogong get angry since he was a child.
Although after the coquettish talk, he quickly lost his childishness in all kinds of discussions. The once pure admiration was also mixed with some inexplicable emotions, but it was wrong for a nobleman who was only twelve years old. Speaking of which, his biological father, Zheng Guogong, is still his greatest support so far.
He never thought that one day he would be beaten and kicked by his father himself.
At that time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then I was carried to the court for trial. My whole body was a little sluggish.
The high-ranking Zheng Guogong saw this and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't say that he had held his own flesh and blood in his lap for eleven years. Please tell him that he didn't feel any pain at all when he saw his originally lively and smart little son turning into a boy with eyes like that. , this is a lie.
Thinking about how his son had let him down, he couldn't help but feel angry: To be honest, if the culprits found out tomorrow were not Meng Boheng and Queen Meng, Zheng Guogong would not be too sad even if he was angry.
After all, he knew in his heart that the children from his second wife did not have much care and protection, which was a bit harsh. Therefore, Meng Boheng would betray Empress Meng and take revenge on him. He would be angry, but he would not have the feeling of being stabbed in the heart.
Can Meng Sian, even though he is a concubine, regardless of the level of attention, treatment, or future arrangements... Zheng Guogong thinks that he can't fault him in the slightest!
Why did that son do such a thing
"Si'an, I'm very young. Even if I do something wrong, I will correct it. No matter if it's my father or my uncles, they will never forgive me." Zheng Guogong was lost in thought and was lost in thought for a moment. When Marquis Wu An saw this, he thought he was too angry to speak. He coughed dryly and said on his behalf, "The key now is, if we don't figure that out clearly, something will go wrong in our family's response." , the whole family will not have a good outcome! At that time, how can I, a child, survive? Do I understand this truth? "
When Meng Si'an heard this, he trembled, shrank back timidly, and said nothing.
Marquis Wu'an waited for a while, and when he saw that he was silent, he continued to ask: "Who taught me to do those things?"
"... No one taught me." Meng Sian was silent. Just when Marquis Wu An couldn't bear the airs of his uncle, he spoke in a low voice. At that time, the hall was completely silent and no one could hear it. , murmured, "He did it himself."
"Me?" Wu Anhou heard this, frowned, and then resisted the urge to get angry and said, "How old am I? How could I deceive my fifth brother-in-law?! Not to mention, what happened to the seal in my fifth brother-in-law's leg? What’s going on?!”
Meng Si'an first looked at Duke Dong Zheng before continuing: "It's easy to deceive the fifth brother-in-law. He stole a name card from dad's study. When dad wasn't paying attention, he stamped it with dad's private seal and sent the old servant to Jiangnan. In order to go east in the name of his father... The fifth brother-in-law believed it after he found out the identity of the old servant and the authenticity of his private seal. Because it was a confidential matter of great importance, he did not dare to talk to his father about being a second uncle or something like that. Seeking confirmation. Even when leaving Jiangnan, he would try to hide his whereabouts. In this way, father and second uncle would know nothing!"
"I can steal my father's name card and private seal. It can be said that the first to get the moon is the one closest to the water." After hearing this, Marquis Chengyang said doubtfully, "Where is the old servant? Who did I send? Could it be that the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion is not a good person? Didn’t you notice?”
Did Zheng Guogong think so? He looked suspiciously at the steward standing next to him with his legs lowered and asked, "Did anyone go to Jiangnan during that time?"
The chief steward's face was solemn, he thought seriously for a while, and then said: "Is there anyone who has gone over to buy what the house needs, but those people probably won't do such a thing for the Tenth Young Master."
He added, "Originally, the people who went to Jiangnan to buy were old people arranged by Aunt Jiaoyu, but after Aunt Jiaoyu came, Madam had all the legs replaced. Many of the new ones were bought from outside. , the body and the contract are all in my wife's lap, there is no reason to hide it for the tenth young master."
"It would be nice not to harm Xiang's people. How can he control them?" Meng Si'an asked, "The people he used were the ones his mother left from the East. They had all worked in the Duke's Mansion for more than a dozen years." He has been an old man for twenty years, and just because his mother was not in charge before, after his mother passed away, my wife kicked them all out without hesitation!"
"One of them had a parent who was sick and sick. Without that job, the confinement period would be difficult. He knelt down in front of his wife and begged, but he didn't get any mercy!"
"Later, one of his parents was dying, and the doctor prescribed a medicine that contained wild ginseng. He couldn't afford it, so he bribed the concierge to send him a message in the hope that something would happen. He couldn't bear it, and he never bought it. Daddy gave him the smallest mountain ginseng among the gifts he received, and he left with a lot of gratitude, and when he left he said he was willing to go through fire and water for him."
"Originally, he was thinking that although his mother was gone, his father would love him more, and he had nothing to ask him to do."
"But in the past confinement period... In the past confinement period, Madam... Of course, my father has always been on his side. Is Madam his legitimate mother? Is he always punishing Madam by calling me Daddy? Not to mention other things, just in the palace. Where do you put the face of Sister Queen?"
"He didn't want to complain to his father anymore. He asked his father to go to the east after a month of government affairs. He really wanted to worry about him, and he didn't want to be disgusted by his wife all the time... He just wanted to... just wanted to do something to share his worries for his father. Tell the lady not to underestimate him, and then he thinks she won’t needle him by mistake again?”
"So he thought of that person, stole his father's name card and seal, pawned some jewelry that my mother left behind, paid for him, and asked him to go to Jiangnan to find his fifth brother-in-law..."
Speaking of this, he choked up, "He didn't expect that Jia Gan would betray us. He thought that even if Ruru couldn't intercept and kill the Princess of Mi Zhen County, she could still wreak havoc in Western Xinjiang. This would cause trouble for Mi Zhen anyway. Is it beneficial to our Meng family! Dad, as my second uncle said, he is not a descendant of the Meng family, nor is he your biological flesh and blood. Both the Meng family and the Meng family will be prosperous and harmed. If the Meng family is not good, what is the benefit of wronging him? ?! Besides, you have always loved him since he was a child, so he doesn’t think bad of anyone, so why would he want to deliberately make you angry? Does he really want to share your worries? "
"..." The three faces of Zheng Guogong were as dark as water, and they exchanged glances with each other.
After a while, Marquis Wu An looked at the brothers on his left and right, and spoke on his behalf again: "Since I have the intention to share our worries, why didn't I say hello to us before doing such a big thing?! I never considered that if the matter failed, , Wrong the influence of the entire Meng family?!"
Very asked, "Why did I choose to deceive Gao Qieyi into going to Xijiang to preside over this matter? Has the Gao family offended me?"
Speaking of the last sentence, Wu'an Hou's tone showed clear displeasure: Gao Qieyi is not only the host of the Meng family's money bag, but also the husband-in-law of his favorite daughter!
Although Marquis Wu'an certainly did not care about his own flesh and blood when it came to his son-in-law, how could he not be angry when his nephew who was born as a concubine in such a confused way and his grandnephew who was, God knows, mentally ill, died in Western Xinjiang? !
"He's too young." Meng Si'an muttered for a while because of that question, and then said timidly, "Whether it's such a big thing, whether it's my father or my two uncles, if you know, I will definitely not let him do it. ! In that case, if a suggestion is made, not to mention whether it can be passed, even if it is, it does not mean that he can do it alone, so how can he show his ability? If he cannot show his ability, how can he gain everyone's attention? "
As for the consideration of failure in advance, "That's why he didn't come forward himself and deceived the fifth brother-in-law to go to Western Xinjiang. That way, if something happened, the fire would not directly burn to our Meng family's head."
"The reason why he chose the Gao family was not because of the Gao family's objections, but because of two reasons: First, there were only a few people in Didong that he could trust and mobilize. At that time, there was only one person in Didong. Was he always responsible for Jiangnan's procurement? , the only people who have close contact with our Meng family and can entrust such a big thing are the Gao family;"
"The second reason is because of Chengxuan's nephew. He really didn't expect that things would fail so easily at the time. He thought that there was at least an 80% chance of success. Even if it didn't succeed, it would not harm the overall situation! So thinking about that opportunity, it was better to take it Chengxuan’s nephew is here, after all, although he is older than him, he is so desolate and silent because he was disfigured and stopped on the gold list!"
That explanation did not convince Wu Anhou. He said with a stern face: "If I really want to accept Xuanyuan, why don't I make it clear to the Gao family instead of using my father's name to cheat?"
Meng Si'an asked instead: "Second uncle, if you guys had not found the evidence, would you believe that he could plan such a thing?"
Marquis Wu An was at a loss for words. Yes, the proof was irrefutable. They couldn't believe that Meng Sian, who had never even set foot in the Duke's palace during that time, could quietly plot to collude with foreigners thousands of miles away. event!
So if Meng Si'an made it clear to the Gao family from the beginning, it would not deny Zheng Guogong's intention. Even Zheng Guogong didn't know it at all, just denying his personal thoughts... The Gao family would only listen to him if they were stupid!
100% chance of reporting it to Marquis Wuan and Duke Zheng!
And will Duke Zheng and Marquis Wu'an help him
Impossible!
He is too young.
Just as Meng Si'an himself said, even if he adopts his suggestion, he can only praise him for his cleverness, but he will definitely have to send someone else to implement it!
"I didn't say how I knew the situation in Western Xinjiang?" After a moment of silence in the hall, Marquis Chengyang reminded, "And how do I contact you in Ruru? Gao Qieyi is holding the seal of my third brother in his lap. , what’s going on?”
"..." Meng Si'an pondered over that question for a long time. In the meantime, Zheng Guogong wanted to have a fit several times, but Wu'an Marquis and Chengyang Marquis quietly persuaded him to stop Donglai. After a long time, he hesitated and said , "Did he learn it from...from Sixth Brother?"
"Meng Guiyu?!" Zheng Guogong and the others suddenly changed their expressions, "Idiot! Are you afraid that I will fall into his scheme without knowing it?!"
Marquis Wu'an was particularly angry: "He said it's not good for me to choose someone as a scapegoat. Why did I choose his son-in-law?! It must be because Chengxuan was ignorant when he first came to Chang'an, and what he said was wrong. Meng Guiyu was so scornful. That boy I have a grudge in my heart, and at that time I was tempted to think that I was strategizing and planning to let Gao Qieyi go to Western Xinjiang to die!!!"
Fortunately, he just thought that although Meng Sian had failed in that matter and had bad intentions, his starting point was more reliable than that of the 25-year-old Meng family, especially at the age of 12, he could have such a scheming and easy cultivation. , he will definitely become the mainstay of the Meng family!
That's why I stopped Zheng Guogong and asked for a good life to listen to Meng Si'an's answer.
So what
Although Meng Sian said he had heard some news from Meng Guiyu, the Marquises of Wu'an had used their subtle legs to trick them in their early years. How could they not know what was going on
It is not true that Meng Guiyu is hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything, but it makes Meng Sian think that the whole thing is not his own idea! ! !
Zheng Guogong overturned the table angrily, pointed at Meng Sian and yelled: "How could I give birth to a brainless idiot like me?!"
Then he thought about the Meng family who was working in Lu Shiyu's department, and he was his own grandson. In terms of cheating, he was even worse than Meng Sian. He almost wanted to vomit three liters of blood on the spot, and said in a trembling voice, "What on earth did the ancestor of the Meng family do?" , will there be unfilial descendants like us?!"
It probably happened that the house was leaking and it rained all night. Zheng Guogong was so angry that his son and grandson were shaking all over. At that time, someone from the east came to report the bad news: "Bidong's oral message was passed down in the palace. Didn't Bidong hear about it?" King Guangling is very happy to have twins, a boy and a girl. He begs King Guangling to bring the two newly born little princes and little princesses to the palace immediately!"
