Meng Jiaqian had been observing his expression intently. Seeing that situation, he felt more confident and said with a sad smile: "Brother, what's the matter? You were willing to come over at that time and talk to him for so long, but you didn't even say a word Are you unwilling to tell him the truth? It’s so embarrassing, you’re worried that he’ll run away?”
"Not to mention that he was favored by his family and should not have escaped when he was in need. He has always wanted to make up for the mistakes he made."
"In that Hussar General's Mansion...can he escape?"
"... He doesn't know either." Meng Jiayuan felt his mouth was dry, whether it was caused by strong fear.
This was not because he discovered that his younger brother, who had always been favored or even cruel by his parents, suddenly followed in the footsteps of his younger brother and became a family pawn, no, to be precise, a victim.
But, he was thinking, what kind of situation would require the Meng family to be abandoned? !
If the army were to march to the south and the Meng family were not taken with them, and he stayed in the northern Xinjiang and Jizhou, it would be dangerous, but he might not be able to change his appearance and quietly hide in the countryside.
What's more, why didn't the Meng family lead the army to the south
He was the son of Meng Boqin who spent the most effort, he was proficient in bow and horse, and he also had his own experience and insights on the battlefield. Even though he had lost to Rong Suihe before, this master had too little understanding of Meng's fault of Rong Suihe and was beaten. He was caught off guard. After all, it is undeniable that the Meng family has achieved the results of many years of hard work and study.
As for betraying the Meng family, his status in the family quickly declined, and he was almost abandoned, but it has only been a year since that happened.
The skills of the Meng family have not been completely wasted.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the sons of the Meng family were killed by the King of Gaomi in Chang'an and their blood flowed like rivers. At that time, it was the time to employ people, and Meng Boqin was stupid to let his son idle.
But Lian would never let the eldest son come to reminisce with the fifth son for no reason...
Meng Jiayuan thought quickly: "If my parents want to abandon the fifth brother, must it be because it will be beneficial to do so, or whether it can change the current situation of the Meng family... No, the Meng family has always valued male heirs, especially legitimate sons! The fifth brother's choking After making such a big mistake, daddy didn't train him, so he just left him in the cold and let him reflect on his own!"
"So dad is not willing to agree to use the fifth brother in exchange for benefits, 80%, because the current situation of the Meng family is much more difficult than he knew. It is so difficult that dad has to give up the fifth brother!"
Then the problem comes again. Although Meng Jiaqian's status in the Meng family is not low, it is nothing when it is considered to be able to influence the situation of the entire Meng family.
Why can he bring benefits at that level to Meng's family
Yongwanzhe said, among the people or forces that can influence the future of the Meng family, who is willing to lend a helping hand to the Meng family to help the Meng family
Meng Jiayuan looked in disbelief and almost whispered his speculation: Ruru!
Because, currently, there are two forces with that qualification outside Damu: the King of Gaomi and the King of Mizhen County.
However, neither of those two people had any reason to pay attention to Meng Jiaqian.
Not to mention whether he took it seriously enough to show mercy to Meng's leg-sitter or something like that.
However, Ruru has a lot to do with the Meng family, and there is a reason to be very upset about him: before Zheng Hou's legitimate concubines and heirs fought, Meng Boheng seduced Meng Sian and planned to have his second son-in-law Gao Queyi secretly go to Western Xinjiang. , colluded with Ruru, attempted to murder the princess of Mi Zhen County, and betrayed Yizhou inside and outside, were they ruined by the Meng family's choice at a critical moment when they were about to succeed
The person who contacted Gao Queyi at that time was his predecessor Khan Dengchenliyu who had just passed away.
Not long ago, Meng Boqin personally took action and did not hesitate to find excuses to expel his second son's family. He planned to assassinate Denchen Liyu, but he found Na Fuzhen as an ally.
Although Nafuzhen and Dengchen Liyu have a deep hatred, but Bu Sheng considered it from the perspective of the entire Ruru, and whether the choice of the Meng family directly led to him and Buntong being captured by the entire army, and even the messenger was Thinking about it even though he can't escape, Fuzhen has no reason to let the Meng family go!
The most important thing is not...
Before Dengchen Liyu passed away, when he personally passed the throne to Na Fuzhen, he once said that the person who murdered him was the Meng family, and Meng Boqin's branch had nothing to do with Na Fuzhen!
His only request in passing the throne to Nafu Zhen was to kill Meng Boqin's family and avenge himself!
Although Meng Jiayuan knew this a long time ago, he never thought of Meng Jiaqian. Is it because Na Fuzhen personally wrote a secret letter to Meng Boqin, saying that it was not a conspiracy of Mi Zhen County Prince Rong Suihe, and he himself had no idea about it. I don’t want to fight with Meng Boqin, so I will just show off when the time comes. I hope Meng Boqin can rest assured and cooperate.
Meng Jiayuan naively thought that he and Ruru probably had that kind of relationship.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the situation when he went to see Meng Boqin in the small ancestral hall last month. Those words that seemed to be exams but were actually guidance...
I still remember that when he was sent away by Meng Boqin, he asked in confusion why Meng Boqin had been procrastinating for so many months and was so hesitant to make mistakes.
if…
If Meng Boqin's choice for the Meng family is to defect to the enemy's country, such a big matter does require repeated consideration!
After all, the Meng family has always been powerful. Even Meng Jiayuan, a disciple who would not betray the Meng family for the sake of the righteousness of his family and country, never thought that one day, he would completely abandon his country.
The most he was prepared for was that he could cooperate with Ru Ruli and deceive his political opponents!
"So dad's plan is to use the lives of the fifth brothers to exchange for Ruru's understanding about the assassination of Dengchen Liyu, and then accept them?" Meng Jiayuan's heart was full of sadness. Last month, Meng Boqin made the mistake of commanding his troops to the south, and his future was very bright. Not optimistic. At that time, he thought that the deaths of Zheng Hou and others had put great pressure on Meng Boqin.
He really didn't expect that the pressure would be so great.
It was so big that Meng Boqin would make such a choice that betrayed his family's reputation.
Meng Jiayuan especially thought about what he said when he entered the ancestral hall just last month and persuaded Meng Boqin to go out for dinner. Meng Boqin said that there would be no one to worship the ancestors, so he took advantage of that time to make more incense.
Even if they can take it with them to the memorial tablet when they go to Ruru, it will not be the memorial tablet.
Is there a good chance of actually returning to my hometown to visit the tomb in this lifetime
Meng Jiayuan was at a loss for a while. He knew that his grandfather, Zheng Hou and others, were in the lap of King Gaomi of Chang'an. There was a deep hatred between King Gaomi and the Meng family. Even if Zheng Hou and others were extremely disadvantaged and had a prominent status during their lifetime, then Now, I wonder if I can get a roll of straw mat to wrap myself up
Is Dongchang, once a noble place, like people dying of hunger on the streets
Abandoning their ancestors' port and leaving like this... Will the Central Plains have a place for them from the Ming Dynasty onwards
In the history of history, how should we cast aside the once aloof Meng family
He had mixed feelings in his heart, and suddenly he regretted obeying Lian's order and coming to visit Meng Jiaqian.
A lot of resentment arose for what he did wrong to the Meng family: Why should I speak so brightly to remind him of the bloody truth? !
Isn’t it because I am about to have no good life, and I don’t want him to have a good time
"Brother doesn't want to say it, let's forget it!" Meng Jiaqian, who was facing the wrong side, kept looking at him intently. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was aware of his strong feelings of disgust. He was disappointed. He was disappointed before. He looked at his eyes and said, "Brother, he is tired."
"... Take care of me!" Meng Jiayuan wanted to say something, but before he opened his mouth, he just left that sentence, stood up, and walked away.
Meng Jiaqian, who was walking alone by the side, silently looked at his back as he left. After a long time, he picked up the tea bowl with green glaze and plum blossoms in front of him, looked at it carefully, put it away again, and laughed "ho ho". His voice seemed to be muttering to himself: "Brother, although you didn't say anything, could you... How could he not guess the reason from the bits and pieces of news he heard during those confinements? With the arrival of your bright moon, let him He is just more sure of his guess... Is the world really impermanent?"
In the past, he thought that the Meng family had colluded with Ruru and betrayed Damu. Later, he discovered that everything was caused by the fight between several young disciples. Inside.
What he thought was sacrificing his family for the sake of justice was proved to be a joke in the past.
Those tossing and turning in the middle, those battles between heaven and man, those worries and guilt... How unbearable to look back
But time has passed a year later, and Meng really wanted to collude with Ruru.
Or even just surrender.
And he will accept Meng's surrender as one of Ruru's gifts.
Is there the most suitable way to make up for the enemy relationship between the two parties caused by Denchen Riyu's last words
"That's good too." Meng Jiagan put his legs and arms on the desk, supported his forehead, and laughed nervously, "The loss of Xijiang in his legs not only created Mi Zhen, but also made the Meng family Under the current situation, Dong was in a dilemma! If he hadn't been more ambitious and got the Western Xinjiang Army, even if all the tribesmen in Chang'an were killed and injured, the two uncles in the fourth house had no good intentions, and the two frontier armies joined forces. What’s more to fear?”
"And Ming's life can buy a way out for the Meng family. The way out in Bucang is so difficult and unbearable. In the final analysis, it is considered that the Meng family has not cultivated him for a while!"
He thought tiredly, "And he no longer needs to bear all the pressure since confinement... Life in this world is so difficult!!!"
While there was an atmosphere of sadness in the palace of General Hussar, there was no peace and relaxation outside the other courtyard outside Jizhou City.
After Rong Ruibin was sent away, Sheng Weiqiao not only cried several times that day, but also felt depressed for the next three or two months. This made Xuanyu Feng, who originally laughed at her, a little anxious. After hearing the news, Rong Suihe became even more depressed. He pushed back a lot of things that were not urgent, and stayed by the bed to coax him.
It turns out that he was so good at coaxing the little ancestor, but Sheng Weiqiao's sadness only lasted for a few days. In short, within two months, Sheng Weiqiao completely forgot about his son and happily slept with Rong Hedong all day long. Playing chess, chatting, playing with cattails, and watching Rong Sleeping Crane paint her portrait... Due to Feng's strict prohibition, she even wanted to go out on the bed and drag Rong Sleeping Crane into the garden to have fun!
Even at the end of that month, news came from Dong people, saying that Rong Ruibin, the wet nurse, and others had escorted Dong to the ship safely and smoothly under Xu Lianshan's escort, and that the ship had already moved to the deep sea. Meng Boqin, even at that time, Even after receiving accurate information, there was no way he could do anything to get the quasi-prefecture prince.
When Xuan Yu and Feng heard this, her heart that had been hanging on her chest was finally relieved, but Sheng Weiqiao simply said "I know" in an understatement, and pulled Rong Suihe to act coquettishly, begging to eat the meat he had roasted himself.
But Rong Suihe had a doting look on his face and said, "I'm afraid it won't be good if I eat too greasy food during the confinement period." "But he already had something to do in his legs and walked towards the kitchen. As he walked, he skillfully ordered people to make digestion soup, so that his little ancestor would not feel uncomfortable after sleeping in bed.
He was so wrong about his son's whereabouts that he even forgot to respond at all.
Looking at the couple who had no sense of being parents at all, Xuanyu Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth. He had finally stopped talking in the hope of settling the matter, and then thought viciously: "When we leave that ghost place in the north, what will happen in the south?" I went back to Nanfeng County, if Qiao Er was not like a mother, I would have to take care of her!!!"
The carelessness of the couple was probably gone. After a while, Rong Suihe prepared the barbecue, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and brought it to the room, where he was sitting with Sheng Weiqiao and me. They were feeding each other together, and Master Wu personally came to report: "News from Chang'an, something seems to have happened to Ah Xi!"
The couple who were smiling a moment ago were suddenly stunned!
