Meng Jiayuan didn't know why, so he opened the secret letter and glanced at it hurriedly, and couldn't help but said happily: "Dad! This is good news! I didn't expect that after our Meng family suffered such a disaster, the two uncles in the fourth room could actually escape. Not to mention the day of birth, we also have control of the imperial guards who escort him! In this case, after we take care of Zhao Shi, we will send our troops south and cooperate with the two uncles inside and outside. What else do we have to be afraid of? "
"You also know that Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan are from the Fourth Fang?!" Meng Boxin frowned, "Everyone knows what the Fourth Fang's status is in the Meng family, but you don't know?! To put it bluntly, usually Although they are called brothers, in fact, in the eyes of your grandfather and uncle, the fourth house is just a few dogs!"
"Your cousin, the one who entered the Guangling Palace as a concubine and disappeared a few days ago, is a typical example!"
"Then Meng Guiyu always cherished his brothers and sisters, but because of Meng Guihuan's death, he will not have any good intentions towards us! Now he has written a letter to invite us to go south, how can he have a heart of friendship?! "
"But the Meng family suffered heavy casualties at the hands of King Gaomi before, and now we are the only ones in the clan. If Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan still cling to Meng Guihuan's hatred, wouldn't they be asking their relatives to hate their enemies? Hurry?" Meng Jiayuan saw that Meng Boqin didn't like his fourth wife, so he quickly changed his name and tactfully persuaded, "If our bloodline is broken, how can they end up well? Since Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan are here Those who are able to take advantage of the situation in such a chaotic situation are probably people who are aware of current affairs, so they should not understand this truth!"
Moreover, "Although grandpa and the others have many plans for Si Fang, we have never done anything wrong to Si Fang! Didn't dad still value Meng Guiyu very much before?"
Meng Boqin snorted coldly: "We don't treat him badly because it's not necessary at all! After all, we are in northern Xinjiang and are beyond our reach to Chang'an. I looked at Jiaoyu's mother and son before, lest I not return to Chang'an for a long time and be called Ji Concubine and Concubine The swindle took advantage of this loophole, and it was too late for us, my father and my son, who had worked hard for many years to get married! But how could we still have time to argue with the fourth brother? "
"Besides, your grandfather and others have already done some things, so why do we have to get involved? As for respecting him, it's just to give him a chance to help run errands!"
"Your cousin is very good at forbearing, but now you have given him a chance!"
"If my guess is correct, our Meng family's foundation near Gyeonggi, including the remnants that we couldn't gather in time, as well as property, property, secrets, etc., have almost all fallen into his hands!"
"Otherwise, even if he persuades the Shu sisters to give him the position of commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, the Tao family has been operating in the Forbidden Army for many generations, and even if there is a traitor who becomes the commander-in-chief, he will still be like Tao Yao. How can someone like him, who is young and has not experienced any serious battles, be able to bear the burden of a clan member who has dedicated himself to death?!"
"So he won't have a good impression of us!"
"As for the suggestion that we should cooperate with the outside here... Hehe, let alone Rong Jing and Mi Zhen and his son, they might not be able to cooperate with the inside and the outside. If we all fight in a draw, we don't know who will win! Even if we win in the end, his plan is to let The son of Meng Guihuan and King Guangling has adopted Xuan Jing as the new king!"
"In this case, he has the imperial army in his hands, and he is the new king's direct uncle. Our previous status has completely changed!"
"Do you think, after the incident is completed, will he treat us kindly, or will he take away our military power and pay back one by one what your grandfather, uncle and others did to the fourth house?!"
Meng Jiayuan was startled: "There are only two male heirs in the fourth house. Even if married women are included, Meng Guihuan is dead, and there is only one Meng Guixin... The population is so thin, and he wants to plot against us, so he is not afraid of us. After the fall, what will happen to their brothers?"
"What is he afraid of?" Meng Boqin said coldly, "If we are gone, he will take over everything left by the Meng family with confidence, right?!"
He breathed out, "Anyway, I don't trust this person... King Gaomi suddenly attacked. Your grandfather, uncle, and others were all unprepared. How come the fourth room except Meng Guihuanzhi, who is not able to follow her family because she is the concubine of King Guangling?" Besides, everything is fine?!"
Meng Jiayuan's expression changed: "Father suspects that Meng Guiyu betrayed his grandfather and the others?"
"There is no evidence, and it is not certain." Meng Boqin said expressionlessly, "But the fact is: the Meng family suffered such a disaster, and our family was the only one left in the first house; the second and third houses were all wiped out, and not even the female relatives were left! Not to mention the death of Meng Guihuan in the fourth house so far, it is because King Guangling couldn’t think of it, otherwise he would not be able to live well at this moment!”
"Furthermore, in this matter, Brother Meng Guiyu, in addition to losing his sister and two mansions in Chang'an City, both his status and power have been rapidly improved. The magnitude is so great. It’s no exaggeration to say that you can reach the sky in one step!”
Meng Jiayuan gasped and murmured: "If it's just a coincidence, that's fine! If it's really him who betrayed the Meng family... then... then his scheme... "
His heart was in a mess, and he felt that the calmness he had been taught since childhood was a bit unbearable. He clenched his fists several times, and then asked in a deep voice, "Dad, the situation is so dangerous. It's okay for us, father and son, to kneel in front of our ancestors all the time." That’s not an option… You have to come up with a charter!”
"... Jiayuan, you are my eldest son and my heir. I have said many things to you, what do you think?" Meng Boqin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Don't be afraid, what do you think?" , just say it!”
Meng Jiayuan did not expect this time. His father was still in the mood to test himself. He was startled for a moment and then said: "Dad, my idea is that it is definitely not possible to sit still and wait for death in Northern Xinjiang! The princess of Mi Zhen County can take advantage of it. Although her father said that Zhao Shi would kill her if he couldn't protect her, and he would not let us get the living princess as a hostage, but even if Zhao Shi was forced to kill the Sheng family, he would still be allowed to live with Mi Zhen and the Sheng family. Leave a gap between them!"
"Zhao Shi was originally the uncle-in-law of King Gaomi. He turned to Rong Suihe because he was dissatisfied with King Gaomi's preference for the mediocre heir apparent Rong Qingzui!"
"In the final analysis, he did this for the Zhao family's consideration."
"If Rong Suihe has a problem with him, even if he is optimistic about Rong Suihe's future, how can he not feel guilty?"
"We can take this opportunity to persuade King Gaomi to take action and try to win Zhao Shi back!"
"At least it will make Rong Suihe more suspicious of Zhao Shi!"
"If these uncles and nephews are suspicious of each other, it will be a good thing for us anyway!"
"Far away. Although Meng Guiyu is very ambitious and has a murderous intention, he personally wrote a letter to invite us to go south. Cooperating inside and outside is also an opportunity!"
"After all, how can the combat power of the Forbidden Army compare to my Northern Xinjiang Jingqi?"
"I will obey him for the time being and support the young master to ascend the throne."
"The overall situation has been decided when the new monarch is established... Although he is the biological brother of the concubine of Prince Guangling, the new monarch has been adopted by Xuan Jing. Naturally, he recognizes his fourteenth aunt as his legitimate mother, so his father is the closest to the new monarch. Isn’t it uncle?”
"Furthermore, we have been in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and we have a lot of fierce generals under our command. Any of them can take charge of the imperial army. When the time comes, please give Brother Meng Guiyu a rest!"
"They want to use us as gunmen... They have to see if they have the ability!!!"
He said this in one breath, and said with some worry, "Dad, these are just a child's opinions, please correct them!"
Meng Boqin looked at him with a complicated expression. After a while, he said: "Jiayuan, I have just told you a lot, but there is one aspect that I have not mentioned, just to see if you would think of it yourself. However, say To be honest, you let me down!"
"..." Meng Jiayuan was stunned, thought quickly, and suddenly said, "Dad, you mean... Ruru?!"
Meng Boqin nodded slowly: "That Fuzhen was in a hurry, no, it should be said that Fuzhen Khan, I will let you see the news he sent here to tell you immediately."
"Dad, it's not that I didn't expect it, it's just that Fuzhen Khan has already said it in detail in the letter. Although he was forced by his friend Tuluti to have the gold in the hands of Mi Zhen, he had to comply with his request and stay with the Princess of Mi Zhen County. Attacking the city during production to divert our attention, but he doesn't really want to attack Jizhou!" Meng Jiayuan explained, "In this case, he must be just showing off... Moreover, I think this is a plot against Zhao Shi and Mi Zhen. It’s a good opportunity for the princess to take action!”
"After taking care of them, march south!"
Meng Boqin said: "Do you think Mi Zhen will not be clear about Fu Zhen's thoughts?"
Meng Jiayuan frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Dad, even if Mi Zhen knows, he is in Western Xinjiang, and the princess is in Jizhou, and she is about to give birth, so it is difficult to move! In this situation, we can only do our best and obey fate. ?”
"If Mi Zhen is such a resigned person, will he force Na Fuzhen to this point?" Meng Boqin shook his head and said, "I doubt that while he is forcing Na Fuzhen, he is also digging traps for us... After all, you are also I’ve heard that the person behind this county prince is probably Huan Guanlan!”
"...Dad, I think there is no need for us to compare ourselves to General Zhou." Meng Jiayuan was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "General Zhou was dedicated to the public good. Although he loved his soldiers as his own children, he did not cultivate the Northern Xinjiang Army into the Zhou Family Army. That’s why the Northern Xinjiang Army will continue to serve the country after him and defend Northern Xinjiang for the faint king Xuan Jing!”
"But we have been rushing to develop the Northern Xinjiang Army into the Meng Family Army from the beginning!"
"The reason why the Gaomi King has gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation between Chang'an and Shanglinyuan... I think it is a problem that we have been silent these days and have not made any news about what happened to my grandfather and the others!"
"After all, at this juncture when my grandfather and uncle were all killed, as the only remaining descendants of the Meng family, our silence can easily be regarded as powerlessness!"
"In this case, how can the people below not be hesitant and wait and see?!"
Meng Boqin's eyes flickered, and after a while, he said: "You go out first, I will think about it again!"
Meng Jiayuan was puzzled: "Dad, we have been doing nothing for so long, why do we still think about it?! The time waits for no one!"
But Meng Boqin just waved his hand. Knowing his father's temper well, he didn't dare to pester him, so he had to get up and exit the small building.
When he got outside, Meng Jiayuan frowned for a moment, then called his cronies in charge of guarding the small building and asked, "Has anyone else been here while dad was inside?"
The confidant said: "General Meng came here once."
Because Meng Jiayuan and others can be called General Meng, as can servants like Meng Cheng, he quickly added, "It's General Meng Lin Meng."
"Meng Lin?" Meng Jiayuan pondered. This is an old man with similar status and qualifications to Meng Cheng. He is very smart and capable, especially good at logistics. He is one of Meng Boqin's most trusted confidants.
However, my impression was that Meng Lin didn't like to talk much and was not someone who would give advice to his superior easily.
"Did he say something to daddy?" Meng Jiayuan was doubtful. In fact, since the news of the death of Zheng Hou and others came, the Meng family's descendants and confidants in Northern Xinjiang were first shocked, and then became excited, and everyone did their best. Prepare to go to Chang'an to seek justice.
Who would have thought that Meng Boqin, as the biological and most valued son of Marquis Zheng, would have an ambiguous attitude. Apart from sealing off Northern Xinjiang and targeting Zhao Shi, he had no other actions!
Even at such a critical time, I went to kneel in front of the ancestor’s memorial tablet for a day and a night...
Meng Jiayuan's thoughts turned to him and he said to his cronies: "Take care of the inside... I'll go find Meng Lin!"
