Gongsun Xi calmed down and said: "He was ordered by the princess to come to Chang'an to stop Concubine Mo from plotting against the king. According to the princess's instructions, he entered the palace through Meng Guiyu and met the queen. In the queen's presence Xiangzhudong…”
After briefly describing the process of threatening Concubine Mo, he continued, "Originally, he planned to leave the imperial city immediately and visit the Zhao Mansion according to the news received by Lu Zai. But Eunuch Ge noticed his whereabouts and sent someone to contact him. He asked him to stay in a secluded place in the palace to prepare for any unexpected events."
Huan Guanlan died at sea, and after Rong Suihe buried him, he took over his inheritance and obtained the contact information of Huan Guanlan's secret agents. Eunuch Ge was among them, and he was one of the most important people. one.
Eunuch Ge's full name is Ge Zhongpeng. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, he served as the official commander of Xiguan Bureau. In all departments, it doesn't matter whether they are particularly powerful or wealthy. Therefore, Ge Zhongpeng's mocking official order is rarely thought of.
Bu Nao entered the palace at a young age and witnessed the ups and downs of the two dynasties. After decades of accumulation, he had a wide network of contacts both inside and outside the palace, including in the Linyuan. His power should not be underestimated!
Rong Suihe carefully read Huan Guanlan's records about that person, and after arriving in Chang'an, he began to make plans to contact him. Although Ge Zhongpeng bought a house outside the palace, he did not live there for many years. He stayed in the palace for many years. Even in the palace, his scope of activities was only in Xiguan Bureau and the surrounding area. He almost immersed himself in doing things without asking questions. A model of non-existence.
Because he was afraid that the house he bought outside the city would not have an owner for a long time, the gatekeeper Dongren might not be reliable, and Ge Zhongpeng, who lived deep in the palace, was difficult to contact, so Gongsun Xi repayed the kindness of Empress Meng by offering him to work as a bodyguard in Wangchun Palace. At that time, he promised to come from the east.
It was also when he was working as a guard at Wangchun Palace that he successfully connected with Ge Zhongpeng. After several tests with each other, Ge Zhongpeng, after confirming that Rong Suihe was Huan Guanlan's personal disciple, expressed his intention to surrender without hesitation and quickly offered his services. In many palace secrets, it is used as a certificate of submission.
For that reason, Gongsun Xi was mistaken for Ge Zhongpeng's request, so he naturally would not refuse it.
And he didn't tell Xu Zijing that Queen Meng's unusual attitude towards him also made him a little upset and he needed to find a secluded corner to calm down.
"After staying in the palace for two months, Eunuch Ge found him and told him that the envoy sent by King Fu from Western Xinjiang had arrived in Chang'an. Through Old Master Feng, he persuaded Shu Ting to enter the palace in person and asked the two empresses Shu to send the county to the palace as soon as possible. The king adopted him to the east of his knees. The two empresses Shu took what happened to Concubine Mo as a warning to the prince and were very frightened. Meng Guiyu seized the opportunity and gave them a sinister idea, forcing the king of Gaomi to Mother and son compromise.”
"Eunuch Ge said that it can be seen from those things that the King of Gaomi is about to run out of energy. Even if there are any troubles in the east, it will not be painful for the King of Wrong. So at that time, the King of Wrong The one who poses the greatest threat is Meng!"
"He is not good at intrigues, so I asked him for advice. Is there anything wrong?"
"He said that Meng Guiyu, who had just agreed to marry Shu Ezhu, the niece of the Shu sisters, did not want the Meng family to gain the upper hand and could take advantage of it."
"A few months later, he found him again and told Meng Guiyu's plan..."
Speaking of which, Meng Guiyu tricked Wu Anbo to death, which had something to do with Rong Suihe.
Two years ago, Bu Rong Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao were not married. During the Lantern Festival at that time, the two of them took Sheng Weiwu, the head of Huiyi County, to Tianjie to see the lanterns, but they were in the Night Pavilion with Wu Anbo's grandson and Meng Bichen. There was a conflict between Qie Yi's son Gao Chengxuan.
Meng Guiyu rushed to the scene at that time, but Gao Chengxuan vowed to seek revenge against sisters Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu afterwards. Rong Suihe's people heard what he said, and after turning around to report them all, Rong Suihe That man had a tendency to retaliate against others, and he loved Sheng Weiqiao very much. Whenever they touched his little ancestor, he wanted to tear his bones apart. How could he tolerate someone with ulterior motives like Gao Chengxuan
In particular, Gao Chengxuan, as the most supportive disciple of the Meng family at that time, had a close competitive relationship with Rong Suihe.
It was precisely because Gao Chengxuan had a high status in the Meng family that Wu Anbo was so fond of him. Rong Suihe was dormant at that time and his wings were weak. He was afraid that he would fall into the trap if he were to pay him directly, so he forced Meng Guiyu to take action. .
Meng Guiyu was reluctant at first, but he could not tolerate the pressure from Sleeping Crane, so he took a risk and took advantage of the gap between Wu Anbo's eldest son and his second son competing for the position of heir apparent. At the expense of his sister's reputation, Sudong killed Gao Chengxuan's future in order to weaken his uncle's power.
At that time, Rong Suihe was not well-known, and people like Zheng Hou, Wu Anbo, and Cheng Yangbo would never even think of such a junior.
And Meng Guiyu's sister Meng Guihuan was not tricked into being carried into the Guangling Palace to be a concubine. As a descendant of the Meng family, no one could have imagined that he would help outsiders harm his own family members.
In addition, the intrigue between Wu Anbo's eldest son and his second son had lasted for more than a day or two. After the incident, neither Wu Anbo nor the parents of the victim Gao Chengxuan, Meng Bichen nor Gao Qieyi had any doubts about Meng Jiayan. Whether he is being used by others, they all think that he can consolidate the position of his biological father Meng Boxen, and he is blatantly cheating on his cousin Dongdu!
That incident happened in the past. Meng Jiayan and his son vowed to use Emperor Xuanjing's concubines to frame Prince Gaomi who frequently entered the palace to serve Concubine Mo during that period. This idea was not something they came up with on their own and they did not suffer any consequences. After a little investigation, Wu Anbo, Zheng Hou and others were convinced by people's guidance.
Because the plan that time was so similar to the one Meng Jiayan had wrongly paid to Gao Chengxuan before, it was obvious that it came from the same person without any explanation.
Could it be that Zheng Hou and Wu Anbo thought they were cautious enough, and in the final analysis did not make the mistake of making the lamp dark in the east? Could it be that by inferring Mingyue from the past a few years ago, they preconceivedly believed it
When Xu Zijing heard this, he frowned and said: "The incident with Gao Chengxuan before was just a big deal, but that time... Since Wu Anbo and Zheng Hou have repeatedly confirmed it with Meng Jiayan and his son, don't they have a little suspicion that they would act like that? Do you think Wu Anbo has stepped into a trap? What about their blood relatives? Even if the relationship between father and son, grandparents and grandchildren is not taken into account, just speaking of interests, once Wu Anbo dies, Meng Boxen and his son will be among the filial piety! That eye is set on the bones. If you become an official, your status in the family will plummet!"
"Especially if Wu Anbo died in such a dishonorable way, whether he can retain the title of Dong is not a problem!"
"Are Meng Jiayan and his son that stupid?!"
"Eunuch Ge said it was because, firstly, the Dongren whom Meng Guiyu bribed won the trust of Meng Jiayan, and secondly, the father and son were just trying to get lucky!" Gongsun Xi explained, "After all, the eldest son, Meng Boxen, had a rude and arrogant temperament. Yuanji was not as good as his brother Meng Bomei in life. Even though Wu Anbo suppressed Meng Bichen and his wife, the fifth Miss Meng, who supported Meng Bomei out of family needs, and insisted on using their eldest son as their heir. However, because of this, Wu Anbo and his wife felt more and more privately. I have wronged Meng Bomei."
"Now that Meng's demands are all wrong, why don't he let the descendants of Didong learn from his example? If people's hearts are agitated, Meng Boxen must not do anything treacherous and unethical. The position of heir apparent will always be denied to him."
"Once the Meng family's situation is alleviated, who knows whether Wu Anbo and his wife will bring up the matter of changing the crown prince again?"
Gongsun Xi said, "If they offered suggestions in the first place, they would have won favor and consolidated their position!"
"If when Wu Anbo inquired with Marquis Zheng and admitted that the idea, together with the previous idea of ending Gao Chengxuan's future, was not theirs, but rejected the Didong people's advice, then maybe the Meng family could avoid the disaster of Mingyue. But the future of their father and son is definitely not good."
"That way they will not be selfish. Even if they are worried in their hearts, they will stick to the end and never reveal the truth."
"Eunuch Ge said that if there is no accident, the Dongren who was bribed by Meng Guiyu has probably been silenced by his father and his son."
"So even if the Meng family came to the east to investigate, the evidence would probably be correct!"
"Sure enough, if there is an advantage, there is also a disadvantage. The rapid rise of the Meng family and the prosperity of the population is not one of the reasons. However, it is also because there are many children and the upbringing of the elders comes suddenly, so that the good and the bad are mixed, but we cannot work together!" Xu Zijing sighed with emotion! In one sentence, he waved his legs and said, "He knows... let me continue talking about business!"
Gongsun said happily: "According to Meng Guiyu's plan of instigating Meng Jiayan and his son, take advantage of the opportunity of King Gaomi to enter the palace and design him to live in the same room with the concubines of Bidong, and then Wu Anbo will lead people to catch them and count them. After the Gaomi King was accused of all crimes, he was killed on the spot! Then he used this momentum to face the Holy Spirit and begged His Majesty Dongdong to punish the Gaomi Prince's crime of combining the mansion, and to collect Qi Jianxun, Luo Pu, Fang Anshi, Huang Zhaoyuan and other party members. Prison, raid all the mansions, look for evidence of King Gaomi's rebellion, and completely eradicate King Gaomi's power!"
"If Your Majesty refuses to issue an imperial edict because it involves the harem, the Empress Dowager's mourning decree can be used to make up for it... Anyway, it's good to have a cover!"
Xu Zijing raised his leg again to interrupt: "Why not Wu Anbo? Since the Meng family planned to use this method to trick King Gaomi, it would be better to find someone with similar status to come forward, right? For example, the idea came from Meng Jiayan and his son, let them Wouldn't it be enough for father and son to come forward? Wu Anbo took action himself... Bidong and the Queen Mother were not in the palace, and they were all hiding in the forest garden. He ran to the harem to catch the traitor, and he never thought about being caught by a mantis, a cicada or an oriole behind him. What?"
"...Is it because of the Queen?" Gongsun Xi hesitated before saying, "Meng Guiyu persuaded Queen Meng to form an alliance with him a long time ago to jointly resist the Meng family's manipulation. Although Queen Ruming has no power in her legs , but it was not possible for Bidong to formally marry the main wife of the palace. The queen found out that the concubine was acting like a nanny. Since Bidong and the Queen Mother were both in Linyuan, she did not have time to inform her, so she temporarily sent someone out of the palace to ask her father and uncle for help. Because Zheng The prince's government affairs were complicated and he was already very old, so Wu Anbo's uncle came to the palace on his behalf... The Meng family thought it was something like that."
Xu Zijing asked: "Where is it actually?"
