When the Xu family father and son heard that Gongsun had left and returned and were surprised, Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan barely stepped outside Linyuan!
"Sixth Brother, should we gather the troops now? Can we go to Lingbo Palace to inform my aunt first?" Meng Guihan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He knew before he entered the Forbidden Army that the Tao family, after the founding hero of the country, has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for generations. , has huge power in Linyuan and is almost everywhere.
Because the brothers have the support of the Shu sisters and have worked very hard to manage their connections, they think that their accumulation in the past two years can be regarded as a place in Linyuan. At this moment, they are not far away from the Gaomi King who persuaded the commander of the Imperial Army to commit a crime together. It hasn't been long since the rebellion started. If you take a little detour, you can always find an unexpected entrance into Linyuan.
Who would have known that along the way, if the brothers hadn't been cautious, they would have almost been caught!
It was simply that Meng Guiyu was a cautious person. When he was in charge of the Chunbo Lake Navy, he took his younger brother to find a hidden waterway. The two of them had no respect for being sons of nobles, and they almost struggled in the mud. After a long while, he avoided being arrested by the Forbidden Army and was sent to see the commander-in-chief in Dongchang.
At that time, although the two of them found a temporary water source to wash themselves, firstly, they couldn't dry their wet robes for a while; secondly, it was already so difficult to enter Linyuan. Before, they had considered themselves to be respectful and obedient soldiers. , was it really reliable at that time
Meng Guihan felt confused, "You are going to see the two empresses Shu in the East? As for Sixth Brother, based on what we have just seen and heard, do I think the usurpation of the throne by King Gaomi will fail?"
"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind it. It would be strange if he succeeds in begging!" However, unlike his hesitation, Meng Guiyu sneered and was actually confident, "It's very disappointing to bring the prince into the palace to catch an adulterer. The prince beheaded Wu Anbo in public... King Gaomi Nafu was desperate and tried every means to pave the way for the prince!"
"So he basically had no chance of success that time!"
Meng Guihan said blankly: "But how can he fail now? The Tao family has been roped in. Although there are some sporadic garrisons near Chang'an, how can they compare with the Forbidden Army?"
Thinking of Meng Guiyu's remarks about dismissing Gongsun Xi just now, he was suspicious, "I expected Ning Weihou to ascend to the throne and call out, and the imperial army would defect to protect him? However, Ning Weihou has never presided over the imperial army, how can he get such a reputation? What's more, he can't say a word To put it mildly, it’s hard to say how many soldiers are willing to die for him, even if our Lord is the kind of king who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!”
Meng Guiyu narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Considering what we are seeing on the surface, have I considered a question?"
"What?" Meng Guihan asked confused.
"Mi Zhen is the worst person to be punished. Although he is the direct son of King Gaomi, he is not favored by King Gaomi. He is even more talented than the prince. It is not fair to say that he is a thorn in King Gaomi's side!" Meng Guiyu He sneered and said in a low voice, "A few months ago, the King of Gaomi did not hesitate to join forces with the Meng family to curb his growth! Although it was later revealed by Chang'an Horses whether the Crown Prince of Gaomi was the real culprit that caused Mi Zhen to be exiled. … However, with Mi Zhen’s ruthlessness, would he think that would be fair?”
Meng Guihan was stunned for a moment and said: "Isn't he very Zhao Shi? Is he the brother-in-law of King Gaomi, or the leader of King Gaomi in the military? It turns out that he sided with Mi Zhen in an understatement. That's enough for a slap in the face. Cruel."
"Mi Zhen had planned to win over Zhao Shi early on. That can't be considered his counterattack." Meng Guiyu shook his head and said, "When the Kangzhao County Lord was in the north in person, the series of rumors in Chang'an had not even begun!"
He paused, "He doubts that what happened tomorrow will be Mi Zhen's true revenge!"
Seeing his younger brother looking at him in confusion, he sighed, "The rumors that have frequently broken out in the Gaomi Palace during that period may seem like nothing to those who don't know. But in the eyes of those who know, who doesn't Are you aware of the confrontation between father and son? And because of Zhao Shi’s choice, is it clear that the King of Gaomi has fallen into Dongfeng’s hands at that time!”
"However, after all, King Gaomi was not a ruthless person of the late emperor. Everyone knows that the late emperor did not want Li Ming to be here at all, but he hoped from the bottom of his heart that King Gaomi or King Guangling would succeed him. Since King Guangling was still young when the late emperor died, Therefore, I will hand over all my legacy to the King of Gaomi, including the old ministers who do not agree with Huan Guanlan’s insistence on establishing a chief minister!”
"So even though King Gaomi was already in decline at that time, who could deny that he had a decisive blow at the critical moment during the years when the late emperor was still on the throne?!"
"He and Mi Zhenru Mingbu Nao maintain a father-son relationship on the surface, but they have already fallen out with each other privately!"
"Mi Zhen had great intentions, but he rose too fast and had an unstable foundation. Ru Ming could not gain a foothold in the western frontier and developed slowly. His power in the court was very insufficient, and there was also the great enemy of the Meng family. Therefore, he was embarrassed. No, the King of Gaomi can kill him without mercy, but he cannot kill the King of Gaomi."
"That's not because he doesn't want to kill his father, but because he currently needs King Gaomi to help him stop the Meng family!"
"However, the King of Gaomi mistakenly believes that he has no father-son affection, and the court masters who have been scheming with the Meng family for many years, once they wake up and keep a low profile, who knows whether they will give Mi Zhen a cruel blow at a critical moment in the future. of?"
"Is he Mi Zhen's biological father? Although Mi Zhen's wife Ru Ming is pregnant, she won't give birth until July. Even if she gets a boy in one fell swoop, what can a baby in her infancy do?"
"Even if that child is so talented and intelligent that no one can match him, why should the masters who have been able to govern alone in the past and the present have to tie their hair?"
"In more than ten years, the temple has changed so many times!"
"In this way, once there is something wrong with Mi Zhen, the King of Gaomi will naturally take over his inheritance as his father... Mi Zhen can survive in a place like Tortoiseshell Island, and he can escape completely in several years of life and death, which shows his caution and suspicion. , how could Keke give him such a chance!"
Meng Guiyu sneered and pointed in the direction of Lingbo Palace, "If he guessed correctly, what happened tomorrow may seem to have been caused by unintentional actions, but in fact, it was all in secret. In addition to his designs, including the queen persuading his aunt, him persuading Ershu to move to Linyuan, and his proposal to weaken the Meng family... Even if they didn't do that, Mi Zhen's people would still find ways to achieve their goals!"
"Isn't he... please take advantage of the fact that you are thousands of miles away and can calmly stay out of the situation, so that you can clearly see the trump card of the King of Gaomi, which is clearly red!"
"If he becomes popular, will he use them to set up a chain of traps, using Meng's trap as bait to attract Gaomi King into the game, and let Meng help him pass on the connections and knowledge that the late emperor left to King Gaomi? , go all out!"
"When he becomes full-fledged and aspires to the throne, King Gaomi won't even be able to bluff, let alone fight him!!!"
Meng Guihan was stunned, and after a long time he said calmly: "Sixth brother, what do I mean... Eunuch Ge, did you not betray Mi Zhen?!"
"Who is Huan Guanlan? Who is Mi Zhen?" Meng Guiyu's eyes showed a deep fear, "The two masters and apprentices are so deep. Since they have recruited Eunuch Ge, how can they betray him easily? cocoa?!"
"Besides, to put it bluntly, things are rare and valuable. From Eunuch Ge's point of view, between Mi Zhen who is in urgent need of human legs and King Gaomi who has a solid foundation and abundant talents, why didn't he choose the former?!"
"And... there is ready evidence to prove Eunuch Ge's misguided attitude: Don't you think it was too easy for us to leave the palace? Just now, we probably thought that the incident happened suddenly and the imperial army had no time to respond. But now, It’s so difficult for us to enter Linyuan, I really think the imperial army will react suddenly?! Then it’s obvious that Eunuch Ge is deliberately letting things slip!”
"..." Meng Guihan's face turned pale, "Mi Zhen has such a deep scheming, Sixth Brother, let's go back... go back?"
For such a master, the pressure of betrayal is too great!
Meng Guiyu smiled bitterly and said: "Seventh brother, we are not of Meng's blood after all. Even if we work loyally for Mi Zhen, I think Mi Zhen will give us good treatment after he is in power? Even if he is willing to give it, how dare we ask for it?"
After all, it has been more than thirty years since the Meng family rose to power with Emperor Xuanjing's ascension to the throne!
Such a long time is enough for them to develop in all aspects.
Even if Rong Suihe came to power and slaughtered all the disciples of the Meng family outside the four families, how could he not kill everyone in Putiandong who had supported the Meng family
Then the Meng Guiyu brothers had no choice but to become the new loyalists of those "remnants". They had a very good record of causing trouble behind Rong Suihe's back and even instigating the relationship between Rong Suihe and the Shu sisters, so Rong Suihe Hecuo's father and brother are both very arrogant, so it's strange that he would let them go!
With his luck shattered, Meng Guihan forced a smile, calmed down, and said: "Then Shengxi's reaction just now, could it be that he was testing them? It's a good thing that Sixth Brother didn't tell him the truth at that time, otherwise he would reveal it if he couldn't tell it. It’s broken.”
Meng Guiyu shook his head and said: "Looking at Sheng Xi's appearance, do you really suspect that there is something wrong with Eunuch Ge? That's not surprising. Although he is Mi Zhen's most trusted confidant, he has been following Kangzhao County Lord during that time. Northern Xinjiang We are far away from Xijiang, so it is normal for Mi Zhen to not be able to tell him about his plans for a while."
"That man Bu Nao is stupid enough." Meng Guihan said, "He thought about it carefully and asked if there was something wrong with Eunuch Ge. During the few months he was in the palace, he had been tricked to death by Eunuch Ge. Very soon Are you going to run over and tell us the news?"
Meng Guiyu said: "No, that's not the case. That man is very skilled in martial arts, and is especially good at assassination. He clearly doubted his mistake before, but he didn't take precautions against the food he brought to him. He obviously had his own legs. Duan Cuo used poison and drug traps. Even if Eunuch Ge mistakenly thought that he had malicious intentions, he would probably not do anything, lest if he failed to trick him, he would instead alert the snake and ask him to go to other people to inform others, which would ruin a big thing! "
He pondered for a moment, then looked at the half-dry robes of the two of them, "Let's not just shut up here, but go to Lingbo Palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Since we know that nothing will happen to His Majesty at that time, we are ready to rescue him." Why don’t you ask for credit?”
Meng Guihan said pessimistically: "Is it useful for us to go there at that time? If everything was not planned secretly, how could the credit for rescuing the driver be given to us? If everything was not planned secretly, the King of Gaomi was afraid that Are you asking for the jade seal from Bidong?"
"If all this was not planned by Mi Zhen... I think it's fine for Eunuch Ge to let Sheng Xi go on purpose. Why did he let us go too?" Meng Guiyu said lightly, "It can be seen that our mistake for Mi Zhen is very useful. In this case, It’s not our turn to eat meat, so there’s always some leftover soup and water, right? If all this wasn’t a secret plan... "
He sneered, "When we get to King Gaomi, can't we sell Mi Zhen ready-made? After all, we have been working for Mi Zhen for so long, why wouldn't King Gaomi be interested?!"
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Meng Guiyu turned around and said, "Let's go!" "
