Because he was afraid of being stopped by King Gaomi, Mr. Feng said these words very quickly, but every word was heart-breaking, and almost all of them hit Mr. Sheng's heart!
Seeing that Old Mrs. Sheng was sweating profusely and seemed to have aged more than ten years in just a short moment due to the battle between heaven and man, King Gaomi raised his eyebrows: "What did Mr. Feng say? It seems that I want you to murder me. Like my son and daughter-in-law! I just... have admired Duke Huan for a long time!"
After hearing this, there was a moment of silence in the room, and then the three old people asked in unison: "Seriously?!"
King Gaomi said calmly: "You three, don't tell secret words in front of Mingren. Do you think that in the current situation, even if Gu feels that Mi Zhen is unfilial, do you still need to embarrass him? If Chang'an quickly becomes peaceful, Gu Huan We have to find a way to deal with him, lest he really has any shortcomings... After all, he is an orphan, isn't he?"
Mr. Feng and Mr. Xu didn't quite believe him when he said he would take over Rong Suihe.
But if Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, neither Western Xinjiang nor Northern Xinjiang would have a stable life. King Gaomi really didn't have to rush to deal with Rong Suihe. After all, even if he were to defeat Shanglinyuan right now, and take over the throne as brother, there would still be a lot of aftermath matters to deal with. Since Rong Suihe already had Ruru to help him fight, he would sit on the mountain and watch the fight, waiting. Why not enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman
So, the prince's purpose of "inviting" them here this time was really just to deal with Huan Guanlan
The three of them exchanged glances with each other, all a little surprised.
"Huan Guanlan died a long time ago. Mi Zhen said this personally. When we were on Dinling Island, Lan Ci secretly went to pay his respects to him because he admired his talent and learning." Old Mrs. Sheng thought to himself, "This matter He didn't tell me at the time, but later Mi Zhen's life experience was exposed, but he fully explained it."
"Later, Mi Zhen and Qiao Er's children went north, and they made a special stop when passing through Bishui County. Mi Zhen secretly sent Huan Guanlan's coffin back to his hometown, and the head of Jingshu County of the Huan family took care of it."
"Now the King of Gaomi is trying every means to inquire about him, and his fear is palpable. It is obvious that Huan Guanlan has left some means to target this prince... Huan Guanlan is Mi Zhen's teacher, and regards Mi Zhen as his successor. If Hidden hands such as the Jishan bandits are all left to Mi Zhen. Since they want to target the King of Gao Mi, they probably want to leave the world to Mi Zhen... "
Mr. Sheng also believed that Rong Suihe was more suitable to ascend to Dabao than King Gaomi. First, Rong Suihe was young, but King Gaomi was already old. Faced with the evil neighbor next door, he was replaced by a Khan who looked covetously at the Chinese people. The young and energetic Rong Suihe looks much more reliable than the aging King Gaomi;
Secondly, the successor chosen by King Gaomi, Rong Qingzuo, is really worrying.
After all, although the emperor keeps saying that he is "a role model for all people in the world", in fact, his requirements for ability are much higher than morality.
A person like Rong Qingzuo, whose morals are far higher than his ability, can be successful as a free king or a minister. As an emperor, even if he is a carefree and conservative king, he can easily leave hidden dangers to future generations.
Especially he also has a very capable and powerful father-in-law Qi Jianxun.
Who knows if it’s Meng’s second
The problem is that Rong Sleeping Crane is not in Chang'an at the moment, and he is unable to conquer Chang'an in a short time.
But Meng Boqin's defection, the mess in northern Xinjiang, Ruru's ambition... It is not surprising that the grasslands are already preparing for war, but the Central Plains court is still in a mess of internal fighting. At this time, King Gaomi stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation, and it was obvious that he was sleeping It is more convenient and less expensive for He to inherit the throne... provided that Rong Suihe is willing to make this concession.
However, how could Rong Suihe, who was full of energy and on the rise, agree to make this concession
Besides, King Gaomi kept saying, "Mi Zhen is Gu's direct bloodline after all." In fact, it's hard to say what would happen to Rong Suihe if he fell into his hands.
With Rong Suihe like this, husband and wife, Mi Zhen County Princess Sheng Wei Qiao, and their children, could there be a good outcome
Old Mrs. Sheng was in a mess. He had already betrayed his grandson and granddaughter-in-law once before, and he already felt that he could not explain it to Ai Shi. Could it be that the incident had to happen again in just a few days
But if he didn't agree, he didn't care what King Gaomi would do to him. What he was worried about was what would happen to Damu
What should Damu do
"If the prince agrees, after Chang'an is pacified, he will immediately send people to Northern Xinjiang to pick up the granddaughters and nephews of the grassroots." Old Mrs. Sheng was in the middle of a battle when people suddenly heard Old Mrs. Feng say in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have a question, but the grassroots are here." I know everything I know, and I will tell you everything! Moreover, the common people will immediately send a message to Nanfeng County to support the prince with a batch of grain and grass! I don’t dare to say too much, there is still a hundred thousand dan, but there is still some!"
The country inherited the weights and measures of the previous dynasty, with one stone weighing about two hundred kilograms. Due to the good weather and low rice prices in Damu, last year Ruru successively attacked northern and western Xinjiang, resulting in a slight increase in prices. However, the distance to the south was so great that it was affected by The impact is not big.
Now one tael of silver can probably still buy two stones of rice.
One hundred thousand shi of rice is equivalent to fifty thousand taels of silver.
Summer is approaching now, and it is the autumn harvest. Maybe the price can be lowered even further with a large purchase.
Even if the losses and transportation costs of shipping from the south are added up, it is just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy Feng family.
But for the King of Gaomi, the benefits brought to his door should not be wasted. Although he doesn't like Sheng Weiqiao very much, his wife here can't threaten him. The key is to let Suihe. If Rong Suihe suffered a complete defeat this time, for the sake of the princess and the prince, it would be nothing to be nice to Rong Suihe and his wife; if Rong Suihe managed to survive, then it would be even more important to have his wife and children in his hands. It's necessary.
So King Gaomi thought for a moment and nodded: "There is no need to wait for Chang'an to be peaceful. I will send people to Northern Xinjiang soon to find Kang Zhao's mother and son!"
Mr. Feng said: "Huan Guanlan is actually dead a long time ago!"
After saying this, Mr. Sheng was in a complicated mood, while Mr. Xu gave him a wink, telling him to speak carefully, lest the King of Gaomi knew that Huan Guanlan was dead. He lost his fear and spared no effort to deal with Rong Suihe... And Rong Rong There are many places in Sleeping Crane where foxes and tigers pretend to be powerful, and they will be exposed even if they are not allowed to do so.
The most terrible thing is that when the teacher passed away, the disciple did not make any arrangements for the funeral, but kept the funeral secret. Even if there were various reasons, it was inevitable that he would be criticized by others.
"... Where did the old man get the news?" Although King Gaomi had made such a guess earlier, he was a little surprised when Mr. Feng admitted it so straightforwardly, so he calmed down and asked.
Mr. Feng ignored the expressions of his two companions and said to himself: "Mi Zhen said it herself, and Cao Min also repeatedly questioned Cao Min's son-in-law, who is the prince's in-laws. The prince once sent someone to confirm Mi Zhen's life experience. After going to Nanfeng County to secretly investigate the Sheng family, I must know that Cao Min's son-in-law has a good relationship with the Gongsun family of Tortoise Island, and he has met Huan Guanlan on the island a long time ago. However, although Cao Min's son-in-law once entered the Hanlin Academy, after all, He returned home not long after he became an official, and he is not familiar with the appearance of the Imperial Master!"
"Furthermore, the appearance of the Imperial Master on Tortoiseshell Island is very different from that of the Emperor. So Cao Min's son-in-law didn't expect it at all... or he gradually found out about it after he brought Mi Zhen back to the Sheng Mansion as his heir. At that time, Cao Min's son-in-law actually felt a little regretful, because the prince also knew that Cao Min's son-in-law actually knew that Mi Zhen was not of Sheng family blood."
"The reason why I recognized him as my son was simply because I didn't have a male heir, and I was afraid that Cao Min's granddaughter would be bullied by her husband's family after she left the court."
"Mi Zhen is both talented and beautiful, and he is a man who repays his kindness. Cao Min's son-in-law is very satisfied with him. However, since Cao Min's son-in-law cares about his daughter, he naturally hopes that after Mi Zhen becomes the heir of the Sheng family, he will live a clean life. Rich young man, let’s make a clean break with the past!”
"If Guo Mizhen only has some connection with Tortoiseshell Island, given our status as the three families in Nanfeng County, we are not embarrassed. The Gongsun family will never dare to get entangled!"
"But Huan Guanlan, the Imperial Master..."
"Even the prince is like a formidable enemy to him, let alone a country family like us?"
"It's just that when Cao Min's son-in-law was thinking about what to do with this matter, no one thought that Cao Min's granddaughter would actually fall in love with Mi Zhen!"
"At that time, the Feng family where Cao Min lived, the Xuan Yu family where the eldest daughter lived, including Cao Min's youngest daughter and son-in-law, were actually opposed to this marriage."
"For this reason, Mi Zhen went south to propose marriage in person and convinced us in person."
"The common people asked Huan about Guanlan at that time... Because although the Sheng family is prestigious in Nanfeng County, it is nothing in Chang'an!"
"Who knows if Mi Zhen wants to marry Cao Min's granddaughter because she was instructed by Huan Guanlan to let the three families in Nanfeng County spend money to pave the way for him, and then cross the river and demolish the bridge to kick us away, or even start chaos with Qiao Er? An idea that’s finally given up?!”
Old Master Feng said calmly, "The Feng family, born as a commoner, is considered a time-honored and powerful family in Nanfeng County. The lessons accumulated by our ancestors and the ruthless and unjust things I have seen at my age can be said to be numerous! When it came to the future of his only granddaughter, Cao Min could not ask anything at that time. Anyway, as long as he thought of it, he asked her clearly and clearly! Mi Zhen also explained it repeatedly and tried his best to explain... Later Cao Min's son-in-law recalled it and said He has seen the corpse of the Imperial Master."
"In this way, Cao Min can rest assured... The prince must have heard how much Cao Min's son-in-law loves his daughter."
"He may lie about other things, but when it comes to Qiao Er, he will never take it lightly... If Guo Huan Guanlan is still alive, how could the son-in-law of Cao Min let the pearl in his palm be mixed into a desperado like Tortoiseshell Island? Don’t you dare to join in the whirlpool?!”
King Gaomi frowned and said, "However, the whirlpool involved in Mi Zhen itself is not small."
"But Mi Zhen is your biological flesh and blood after all." Mr. Feng said sincerely, "Even if there is estrangement and misunderstanding between father and son, can you really kill him?! As for Meng, to be honest with the prince, ordinary people have never I think they will have the last laugh. After all, from the founding of the country to the present, there has been no major trouble in Damu. It can be seen that Fuzuo has not declined, how can it be the turn of a foreigner to occupy the magpie's nest?!"
"Such a prosperous family has little property. Even if Mi Zhen falls into despair, it will always be no problem to provide some support to the couple so that they can live a peaceful life with good food and clothing."
"Then Qiao'er and Mi Zhen are in love, so as elders... why do we have to be evil and break them up?"
"..." King Gaomi was silent for a while and said, "Since Huan Guanlan has died a long time ago, who is hiding behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation...?"
