Meng Shi was purely self-deprecating, but he said it was inseparable, but...
"Even if we understand what the emperor's intention is, the imperial decree has been issued, and the eldest brother can't resist the decree even if he doesn't want to." When he realized that the truth of the matter was not as beautiful as the surface, Meng Erye felt heavy.
Third Master Meng was not much better, looking at Mrs. Meng with a sad face, "Mother, what are we going to do now?"
what to do
Mrs. Meng smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is of great importance, and it also involves King Xiao. Let's stay put for the time being and see what King Xiao means."
"Contact with King Xiao? Is this good? Will the emperor be unhappy?" No wonder Meng Shi thought so, it was...
The current King Xiao, whoever gets involved is unlucky.
"Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, who knows what tomorrow will be like, it is impossible for King Xiao to be unlucky all his life." Mrs. Meng didn't think that Xiao Tianyao would be silent.
The timing of Bei Li's dispatch of troops was too coincidental, to say that there was no Xiao Tianyao in it, Mrs. Meng would not believe it.
Meng Shi said disapprovingly: "Is there a possibility for King Xiao to turn over?" A military general has lost both legs, how does King Xiao turn over
"Generals, as long as there is a battle, there is a possibility of a comeback. Don't underestimate King Xiao." Mrs. Meng said obscurely. As for whether the three sons understood, Mrs. Meng did not care.
Left and right, with the relationship between Chu Jiu and Xiao Tianyao, as long as King Xiao doesn't have an accident, the Meng family will not fall.
"It's not wrong to say so, but King Xiao's leg is badly injured." It's not that Meng Shi doesn't believe his old lady, but the facts are in front of him.
"It's impossible for King Xiao to be unable to get up all his life." Mrs. Meng had great confidence in King Xiao.
Even without confidence, who let her granddaughter marry Xiao Wang.
Seeing Meng Shi's expression of disapproval, Mrs. Meng didn't wait for him to speak, and decided: "This matter is as I said, and you don't go out these days."
"The son obeys." Although still puzzled, the three sons of the Meng family are used to the old lady giving the command, but they are not too conflicted. Seeing the tired look on the old lady's face, the three of them bid farewell.
As soon as the three of them left, Mrs. Meng regained her energy immediately, "Come here, wait for me with pen and ink."
Mrs. Meng personally wrote a letter to Xiao Tianyao, indicating the attitude of the Meng family on this matter, and told Xiao Tianyao that the Meng family would cooperate fully, as long as Xiao Tianyao could say it, the Meng family could do it.
Xiao Tianyao was discussing with Su Cha how to deal with it when he received a letter from Mrs. Meng. After reading the letter, Xiao Tianyao's expression softened a little.
Madam Meng cared for Lin Chujiu wholeheartedly, and was willing to do anything for Lin Chujiu.
How lucky is Lin Chujiu to have a grandmother who loves her so much!
"Look at it too." Xiao Tianyao handed the letter to Liu Bai.
After Su Cha and Liu Bai read the letter, they didn't speak for a long time.
They knew very well that Xiao Tianyao didn't want them to read the letter, but to tell them that there was a big Buddha behind Lin Chujiu, and they must not despise Lin Chujiu in the future.
Xiao Tianyao also had good intentions towards Lin Chujiu.
After a while, Su Cha said with a smile, "The princess' grandfather's family is willing to help, and we can save a lot of trouble." He didn't mention the Duke's Mansion, nor the Meng family, but Tete said Lin Chujiu's grandfather's home. That's enough to show Su Cha's position.
"No, this king doesn't want the Meng family to lead the army." It is a good thing that the Meng family is willing to help, but Xiao Tianyao doesn't want to involve the Meng family.
Liu Bai was puzzled and said: "Is there anyone better than the Meng family?" The Meng family is willing to cooperate, and they can minimize the loss in this war.
"No, but the Meng family can't." In order to support Lin Chujiu, Mrs. Meng can sacrifice the reputation and interests of the Meng family. He appreciates the decisiveness of Mrs. Meng, but it does not mean that he wants to accept it.
Liu Bai immediately understood what Xiao Tianyao meant, and said dejectedly, "Your Highness, you can't differentiate between public and private."
Xiao Tianyao glanced over with a cold eye: "Liu Bai, are you doubting this king's decision?"
"Don't dare." Liu Bai said that he didn't dare, but he looked unconvinced. Xiao Tianyao ignored him and turned to look at Su Cha, "What about you? Just like Liu Bai, do you think this king does not distinguish between public and private?"
"No," Su Cha shook his head without hesitation: "If the lord agrees, there will be no distinction between public and private. The Meng family is willing to help the lord because of the princess. Without the princess, the Meng family will never vote for the prince."
The wealth of the Meng family has reached the sky, and it is no longer possible to take a step forward, and it is impossible to take a step forward. There is no need for the Meng family to participate in the struggle for imperial power. No matter which member of the Xiao family sits on the throne, they will not take action against the Meng family.
Liu Bai did not agree, "Without the prince, it is impossible for Duke Meng to be appointed as the coach by the emperor." Therefore, the Meng family took advantage of Tianyao.
"Do you think this is a good thing for Duke Meng? Do you think Duke Meng is willing to be the head coach?" Su Cha really didn't understand how a white brain could be so dull.
To put it nicely, this is called loyalty and courage. But the fact is that he is dumb and stupid, and there is no cure at all.
Su Cha has already said this, but Liu Bai still firmly believes that the Meng family has taken advantage of Xiao Wang's mansion. "If it weren't for the prince, the emperor's generation would not be able to remember Meng Guogong, and it would be impossible to reuse him."
Su Cha was about to go mad, "Who is Duke Meng? Who knows in the capital city that he is not good at writing or martial arts, and only wants to be a rich man. He has no ambition and no ability at all. The emperor ordered him to be the coach, not Reuse him, but borrow his hand to consume the soldiers and horses brought by the prince."
"I know." Liu Bai replied coolly: "I'm not an idiot, how could I not see it."
"Since you know, why did the Meng family take advantage of the prince?" Su Cha felt that she had been tricked.
Su Cha is right, but Liu Bai has his own perseverance, "He was appointed by the emperor as the head coach because of the lord, and he leads the troops trained by the lord. As long as he wins this war, he will be able to gain fame and fortune. , this is not called taking advantage, what is taking advantage?"
"It's not wrong to say that," Su Cha was almost stunned by Liu Bai, "But Duke Meng doesn't have the strength to defeat the Northern Li army."
"This is because he is incompetent, and he can't grasp the opportunity when he is presented to him. Who can blame him?" Liu Bai snorted coldly, full of sarcasm. And this time Su Cha didn't refute, because...
It makes sense.
If Meng Shi has the ability, he can take this opportunity to take the position, but the reality is that Meng Shi does not have this ability!
Su Cha found that he really couldn't argue this time, and immediately changed the subject: "My lord, if the leader of the army this time is not our own, the 300,000 soldiers and horses in our hands will be in danger. "
No matter who leads the troops, no matter what the purpose is, they will use the 300,000 troops brought out by Xiao Tianyao first, because...
