After the little emperor of Wei took power, he was more cunning than before, and his means of balancing the court became more and more powerful.
The so-called emperor's mental skill, the little emperor seems to have been born very powerful.
Meng Bufan believes that if the emperor is strong, the courtiers should show weakness appropriately.
What's more, the biggest reason why he took over the government of the Great Wei Dynasty before the little emperor was fledgling was Lin Fufu.
He wanted to share the burden for her, and now that the little emperor had grown up, he thought it was time to retire.
It's just that right minister Wen Shengyi became more and more powerful, and the little emperor trusted and supported him more and more, and his private actions became more and more arrogant.
When Wen Shengyi was pregnant with their first child in Zhuang Rui, it was like the little emperor who proposed to retire. The reason was that he had been injured for many years in battles when he was young, and his body had already been damaged and he needed to recuperate.
However, in order to balance the court situation, the little emperor rejected Meng Bufan's invitation to serve as an official, and invited Meng Bufan to have a long talk with him for a long time.
If the emperor forbids it, Meng Bufan can only continue to be the prime minister.
Wen Shengyi's faction was ready to replace Meng Bufan's position as the leftist, but in the end it fell short and was very disappointed.
But they are not reconciled.
With Wen Shengyi turning a blind eye, the people in Wen Shengyi's faction went so far as to publicize Meng Bufan's private love affair with Lin Fufu, the noble eldest princess who was married to Beirong.
Although such rumors were well known to those in court, because of the respect for the Meng family and Meng Bufan and his son, no one had ever said such things publicly.
Nowadays, there are people gossip about such gossip in the streets and alleys of the capital, which annoys Meng Bufan very much.
There is no concession to Wen Shengyi.
What caught Meng Bufan by surprise was none other than Zhuang Rui.
Perhaps because of the pregnancy, Zhuang Rui's personality became sensitive and irritable.
And because of her pregnancy, the entire Meng family protected her like a baby. She was unhappy because of Meng Bufan's past, and the Meng family's heart was always on the back.
It's not Meng Bufan who hates Wen Shengyi the most, but old Prime Minister Meng and the old lady.
Old Prime Minister Meng began to use the strength of the Meng family to deal with Wen Shengyi secretly, and Meng Bufan also turned a blind eye to these things.
He remembered that after Lin Fufu met Wen Shengyi for a while, he didn't like him very much, so there was a reason.
On this day, Wen Shengyi invited Meng Bufan to drink tea.
Meng Bufan went, and he took Zhuang Rui with him, but he had someone protect Zhuang Rui to drink tea in advance, and stayed next door to where he and Wen Shengyi drank tea.
The youngest left and right of the two great Weis met each other, on the surface they were warm, but secretly they were tense.
Wen Shengyi is wearing exquisite and luxurious regular clothes at the moment. He has gained a little weight, but he is still handsome and elegant.
The experience and suffering of the Wen family left no trace on him.
He has a high position and authority now, and the little emperor even relies on him more than Meng Bufan, and it can be seen from his face that he is full of vigor and grace, as if he was born again.
Coupled with the fact that his second wife had given birth to him two sons over the years, the Wen family finally stood up again at this moment.
There are only two people he always holds grudges against, and those people are Lin Fufu and Meng Bufan.
What happened to the Wen family was caused by these two people.
He must avenge the Wen family.
It's only just getting started...
"His Excellency Zuo Xiang is well. Recently Wen heard from His Majesty that you are going to be an official. Although His Majesty has rejected you, he is very worried. Therefore, I asked Wen to persuade you in private, and you must not have such plans in the future." Wen Shengyi spoke in an official tone, looking at Meng Bufan's elegant and indifferent handsome face with subtle eyes.
Meng Bufan drank his tea calmly and did not immediately respond to what he said.
Wen Shengyi was not annoyed, and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, I still hope that our two friends who are similar in age will get along well and help His Majesty manage the great Wei Dynasty together!"
Wen Shengyi's words seemed to be nothing, but the wit hidden in his words was very powerful.
Meng Bufan frowned slightly, and a faint sarcasm appeared on Jun's face.
"Wen Youxiang's official position is getting higher and higher, and this person is becoming more and more impatient. Your Majesty is talented enough to manage the great Wei Dynasty. Why use me to assist you?"
As soon as Meng Bufan said this, a stern look appeared in Wen Shengyi's eyes.
"What Mr. Zuoxiang said is that after all, Wen is not as profound as Mr. Zuoxiang... His temper is too straightforward. His Majesty can pass on Wen as he says. It is a sin!"
Meng Bufan raised his eyebrows lightly, without saying yes or no.
Wen Shengyi failed at one plan, and was not disappointed and angry. He continued: "Master Zuoxiang is entangled in rumors and gossips outside, is he very troubled? But find out who spread the rumors and corrupted Mr. Zuoxiang and Tiangui." The honor of the princess?"
Here it comes, Meng Bufan has been waiting for this.
Therefore, he put down the teacup, and looked at the malicious Wen Shengyi with clear eyes.
"What? Listen to Prime Minister Wen You, if the truth finds out who is deliberately spreading rumors behind, you want to take care of the people behind the scenes for the truth?" Meng Bufan asked calmly.
His clear eyes made Wen Shengyi feel oppressed for no reason. Wen Shengyi lowered his head and pretended to smile, "If that's the case, it's not bad for Wen to take care of the people behind the scenes for Mr. Zuoxiang. Only Wen I thought that if this matter is found out, I have to ask His Majesty to show me. After all, this is related to the reputation of Princess Tiangui."
The elegance and indifference on Meng Bufan's face was gone, his face turned cold, and his eyes became sharper.
"If it is said that Truth admired Her Royal Highness Tiangui Dachang Princess when she was young, it can only be said that Tiangui Dachang Princess is worthy of the admiration of all talented men in the Great Wei Dynasty. How does it involve the issue of reputation?"
Meng Bufan never felt that his admiration for a woman worthy of his admiration had anything to do with his reputation.
He was angry that someone shamelessly wanted to use this issue to hurt the woman he once loved deeply and the woman he loved deeply now.
"The people behind this scene have sinister intentions, and the truth must be found out." Meng Bufan's voice was strong and powerful, "It's just the wife who wants to use this incident to stimulate the truth. He thought he did it very well? In fact, he is acting like a villain. , What does Wen Youxiang think?"
After Meng Bufan finished speaking, he looked at Wen Shengyi fixedly, clearly knowing that Wen Shengyi was the person behind the scenes, but he didn't tell the truth.
Wen Sheng's hands trembled in anger, but he was so aggrieved that he couldn't tear his face directly.
"I came to see you today, but I just wanted to let Mrs. Zhen know that someone deliberately used the past to achieve an unsightly purpose." Meng Bufan finally named his purpose for coming to see Wen Shengyi, and stood up. Get up and stand up, "I'm busy with the truth, so I'll take my leave!"
As soon as he came out, he ran into Zhuang Rui with a big belly supporting his waist at the door. The sweetness on Zhuang Rui's face at this moment was completely different from those few days of melancholy.
It was only because she knew that her husband cared about her that she brought her here to listen to their conversation. At the same time, she was very curious about the noble eldest princess whom her husband had admired, and wanted to meet her...
