In the first few days of the New Year, Mr. Meng had a relatively fulfilling life. First, Mr. Du invited everyone in the Meng family to be guests, and then the old prince Li Daozong, as well as Qin Shubao, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and Meng Xinghe all came to his house. Go to the appointment. There are not many young and promising young people, but there are not many rookies who can become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the general in their weak years. Moreover, these adults know that they can make the Holy Emperor bear the pain and demote Jinyang. The princess is a commoner. This kind of precedent is probably unprecedented and will never happen again.
Although he has been a guest in your master's house these past few days, Meng Xinghe still remembers the business he has to do in his heart. The Lantern Festival will be in ** days. According to the plan Li Chengqian told him in Lishan Town, there are not many days left. , Meng Xinghe was pondering whether to sincerely cooperate with him, but another incident disrupted his advance plan.
Forbes is missing.
Ever since he came to Chang'an, this Turtle Immortal, who had locked himself in his room, feasted on food and meat every day, and drank grape wine with great demands, when Meng Xinghe took all his family members to attend an appointment at other adults' houses, he Disappeared like evaporation.
In fact, Meng Xinghe didn't disturb Uncle Fu's life much. He just thought of Li Chengqian's plan and had to discuss it with the assistant specially assigned to him by Qin Shihuang. Who knew that when he pushed the door and entered, there was a musty smell in the room. , Food remnants can be seen everywhere on the ground, and there is not even a trace of the old and mature Fu Bo. Meng Xinghe guessed that the only possibility other than being kidnapped by someone is that he went out for a walk.
Mentally, he thought that Uncle Fu might go to Chang'an Street to wander around, buy some delicious food and drink, and come back to live. However, after waiting for a day, he didn't see the old man coming back. Now Meng Xinghe became suspicious, thinking about Uncle Fu. Although he has an attitude of playing with the world, he is definitely not the kind of person who does not adhere to principles. The only explanation is that he went out to do something.
I remember that when he was in Tiangong, the "Qin Shihuang" told himself that he sent Uncle Fu to help him gather the four guardian families to complete the mission assigned to him. Now that Uncle Fu is missing, he probably went to contact the person he was looking for. .
Because of Uncle Fu's disappearance, Meng Xinghe closed the door and refused to see anyone. He locked himself in the study room, took out Li Chengqian's plan and thought about it. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian seemed to have no authority when he usually saw him, but I don't know where such a good plan came from. If Meng Xinghe hadn't known it in advance, he would never have imagined that Li Chengqian could actually mobilize the commander of the imperial army around the emperor.
He sighed slightly in his heart. This is destined to be a big change. He guessed that there will be a bloody storm in the imperial city in a few days. Meng Xinghe, who has been experiencing wars and seeing dead people for almost this year, already feels numb. While sorting out the information that I had collected privately on the table, I was thinking about whether my family members should send them away early if something happened to Chang'an City.
But the world is so big, if we fail, there will be nowhere to stay.
While Meng Xinghe was thinking about this problem, there seemed to be a slight sound outside the window, which he would never have heard if he hadn't had sensitive ears.
"Come in," he said with his back to the door. He didn't worry about anyone outside the study who might be harmful to him. Even the rouge he wore was from the same brand. It was hard not to recognize it. The only people eavesdropping outside were the two of his own family. Who among the big and small goblins who know martial arts can get together and hide outside to watch.
"Mengdie is naughty, and even Aunt Yun is also naughty. He is really a master and a disciple, with the same personality." Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Master Meng actually felt that he was very happy now.
The person who was eavesdropping outside came in, and the naughty and naughty woman who looked at her timidly called out: "Ms. sir," and immediately explained: "Sister Shi Yu asked me to come and invite you to dinner. Everyone is waiting for you." Woolen cloth,"
Pretend, keep pretending, Meng Xinghe just had red bean porridge two hours ago, it's still early for lunch.
"Sit down, you are afraid that I will eat you," Meng Xinghe said loudly, but he walked over and hugged his two beauties: "I have something to talk to you about. "
The two women's colors were as bright as spring peaches. Aunt Yun was even more coquettish and angry for the first time in front of her apprentice, saying: "Nonsense,"
Master Meng chuckled, and had already carried his two beautiful girls who knew martial arts to sit on the chairs. Then he walked to the door and closed it gently.
"It's getting late, it's time to do important things," Master Meng walked up to the two women, looked at them seriously, and was meticulous in his words.
It's a good thing he didn't say anything. As soon as he said this, the two women's faces, which were originally Hongxia, immediately turned a bit intoxicating wine red.
Master Meng once said that the most important thing for him now is to work hard to create humans. Of course, his suggestion also earned him the curse of many ladies.
Could it be that my evil husband-in-law wanted to rectify their master and disciple today?
The two women didn't know where they were thinking, and they suddenly couldn't sit still and wanted to escape from Master Meng's clutches.
"Mr. Mengdie is feeling a little unwell, so I'll take my leave now."
Mengdie, who was as clever as a ghost, reacted quickly. When Mr. Meng was not paying attention, she had already escaped from the stool and was already three feet away from Mr. Meng. She said something naughty to him and opened the door. The door floated out.
This is a lady who knows martial arts. If she doesn't obey, it will be really hard to deal with.
Master Meng felt a headache, but fortunately, there was a relatively stable Xiruo here.
"Xiruo, don't you want to run away too," Master Meng held his breath in his heart, thinking that if you run away too, then all the family will be at your service tonight.
It's not that Aunt Yun didn't run away, but she didn't react as quickly as Mengdie. After all, she had only had a relationship with Meng Xinghe for a short period of time, so naturally she couldn't figure out the lustful character in this guy's bones. By the time she came to her senses, , it was obvious that running away had no effect anymore, so she had to wait quietly for the next "bad luck". Aunt Yun even wanted to curse, it was so shameless in broad daylight.
Now that Mr. Meng can't even solve his own affairs, he still has the mood to think about those things about his children. It doesn't matter that one of them ran away just now, leaving Aunt Yun, a relatively mature woman, here. Mr. Meng comforted himself that maybe Mengdie hasn't been here yet. Aunt Yun is reliable.
"Xi Ruo, there is something I have to tell you," Meng Xinghe sat next to Aunt Yun, holding Aunt Yun's hand tightly with one hand. Aunt Yun had only seen him look so serious now twice. Once in Jiangdu and once in Lingnan, both times were the most critical moments for Meng Xinghe.
Could it be that the important thing he wanted to say was business? Aunt Yun looked at Meng Xinghe's eyes without any distractions: "What's the matter? You've been kept in the study for so long. Is there something you can't figure out? Tell me. Xiruo can help you with some advice,"
Facing his married wife, Meng Xinghe naturally said without reservation: "I say, Chang'an is probably going to change."
As soon as Aunt Yun heard about the change of heaven, she understood that as a princess of the previous dynasty, she was very sensitive to the word heaven: "You mean, someone has a sneak peek at the throne,"
Meng Xinghe nodded, "It's Prince Li Chengqian."
"Then where are you going to stand?" Aunt Yun asked Meng Xinghe a very important question. Often for this kind of palace coup, one must clearly identify one's side. After all, Aunt Yun's father, Yang Guang, is a master in launching coups. If he hadn't gotten the Even with the support of most of the important officials in the palace, he could not overthrow his uncle.
Meng Xinghe couldn't answer. Which team he was on was because he would keep everything in Tiangong a secret from everyone, including his wife, because he wanted to protect them.
"I think I'm on Li Chengqian's side for the time being," Meng Xinghe, who was unsure about paying attention, corrected his stance.
When Aunt Yun heard this, she immediately shook her head: "Ms. sir, it's in vain that you usually think you're smart. Why can't you understand such a big thing? According to Xiruo, if you stand on Li Chengqian's side, you will definitely lose. I'm afraid you will lose today." You come to us just to prepare a way out for your failure,"
The clever Aunt Yun saw through Meng Xinghe's thoughts at a glance. Under the influence of her emperor father, this woman who was born in an emperor's family has mastered power and conspiracy as well as any other man. She just listened to Meng Xinghe's words, He criticized the direction in which he stood, which made Mr. Meng very grateful, thanking his father-in-law Yang Guang for giving him a good wife.
"Then look at Yi Xiruo, where should I stand?"
"Although Li Chengqian is the prince, he will definitely be deposed in the end. Although Li Zhi has the support of many veterans, Li Shimin will never pass the throne to him easily. So, what you have to do now is not to take sides. The best policy is to remain neutral,"
"Why is that so?" Meng Xinghe wanted to hear his wife's more detailed analysis.
Xiruo chuckled: "My husband may not notice it, but in the past two days, when I and several sisters at home went to visit the empresses in the palace, we discovered an abnormal situation."
"What's the unusual situation?" Meng Xinghe has been busy visiting ministers' houses these days and has never been to the palace. However, he can't figure out why his wives go to the palace.
Aunt Yun recalled the situation of the past two days and said: "For the Imperial Guards in the palace, the shifts have been changing frequently these past two days."
Meng Xinghe, who couldn't figure out the doorway inside, remained alert and eager to learn, and said, "What's weird about this? Everyone on duty went home to spend the New Year and had fun in bed with their wives in their arms. Of course, the shift changes are frequent,"
"Begging for a beating," Aunt Yun knocked Master Meng on the head like a lady: "Do you think that the Forbidden Army can be replaced so casually? The safety of the entire imperial city depends on the Forbidden Army. It can be said that the commander of the Forbidden Army must be He is the emperor's most trusted confidant. If he wants to rebel, if he cannot control the imperial army, he is doomed to fail. Nowadays, the imperial army changes frequently, which vaguely tells us that someone is secretly reorganizing the imperial army. Tell me, who has such a big power in the world today? Where is the power?"
Meng Xinghe frowned, and he seemed to be able to discern some clues from Aunt Yun's words.
Could it be that the recent frequent changes in the Forbidden Army were caused by Li Shimin's behind-the-scenes operation? Li Chengqian imagined that he had been manipulating the Imperial City's Forbidden Army for twenty years and slowly integrated his cronies into it to take important positions. However, Li Shimin secretly replaced the people below him. If a general leads all the soldiers who are not his own, wouldn't he become a mere commander?
It was really a muffled thunder on the ground, it came so suddenly.
Damn it, if my wife hadn't analyzed it so thoroughly, I would have fallen into Li Shimin's trap.
