Chapter 145 The Dongfeng
She was not really angry with Zeng Lingsong, but she didn’t want her grandfather to listen to her uncle’s words and make her trip today in vain, so she deliberately spoke harshly. , I really don’t know the love and care of my uncle.
"That's what my uncle meant!" Zeng Lingsong's mood suddenly changed, and her eyebrows were crooked, "My Yaoyao is really wise, has a blue heart, and is extremely intelligent!"
With two sincere words, Meng Shisan successfully coaxed Zeng Lingsong back to make her happy. Not forgetting the business, he turned to Zeng Si and said, "Grandpa, can you tell me?"
It was not until the second quarter of Xu that Meng Shisan finished listening to what Zeng Si and Zeng Lingsong said to her about the last year. There is something fishy about the Yang Shui disease, and its involvement is so wide that even the second prince Li Heng is involved!
This is also the fundamental reason why Emperor Zong finally let go of the incident last year.
“At that time, it was also reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a big quarrel with His Majesty in the Royal Study. Outside the Royal Study, all the servants and Jin Wu guards were standing far away. They heard the thunder and thunder, and everyone was trembling. Dangerous, just afraid of making noise In the end, His Majesty was reluctant to deal with His Highness the Crown Prince and directed his anger towards them. "As the chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one of the supervisors in the Wei Dynasty, Zeng Cao had his own channels for information. Although it was not easy for him to reach out, he could not reach out. But it is not impregnable.
Wherever there are people, there will inevitably be gaps in the walls.
The wind will always show through.
What’s more, I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but His Majesty and His Highness had a quarrel in the imperial study room over the flood in Lueyang. The one was an honorable person and the other was the prince of the country, but neither of them covered up the matter. meaning.
If not, not to mention His Majesty, their young, talented, wise and charming Crown Prince alone has many means to prevent the wind from entering even an inch of the palace.
Since then, he has often thought that it might not be a bad thing for his granddaughter to be in the Meng family, as the Meng family in the East Palace.
“Is it because of this that my grandfather did not insist on impeachment?” Before today, Meng Shisan had thought about all possibilities, including Emperor Zong and Li Shou’s respective opinions on the Lueyang flood last year. attitude, but never thought that because of this matter, Li Shou actually had a big quarrel with Emperor Zong in the imperial study room.
It can be seen that His Highness also disagrees with His Majesty's final disposition.
But I had no choice but to do nothing.
No, you may not be able to do anything on the surface, but you can do whatever you want secretly.
For example, since the death of Liu last year, His Highness has been able to start laying the groundwork, laying hidden clues, and planning to this day. Everything is ready, all he needs is the east wind.
The Dragon Boat Festival capsizes, this ominous sign is no different from the east wind that His Highness is waiting for!
My grandfather must have noticed something, otherwise he would not have listened to her question just now, so he asked her why she asked this question. I am afraid that my grandfather has been waiting for His Highness to do something.
“It’s not that I no longer insist, but that I can’t help myself anymore.” Zeng Si was nearly sixty years old. After entering the officialdom, he devoted himself to the word justice. He was loyal and unafraid, but he also Without a trial, he was able to gauge the situation and be able to steadily rise to the rank of Zuodu Censor, amidst the invisible killings.
Last year, he had clearly seen His Majesty's holy will from the beginning. Your Majesty did not want the Crown Prince and the Second Prince to commit fratricide. However, based on his supervisory duties, he still went to court for impeachment. Later, when His Majesty and His Highness quarreled in the royal study, he I also realized that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the orthodox prince, could not change His Majesty's holy will. As a minister, even if he lost his family and his life, it would definitely be a deaf ear and a waste of effort.
So he chose to obey the Holy Judgment. Immediately, he tore off the seventh clear fold whose ink had not yet completely dried.
Zeng Lingsong stood aside without saying a word.
Last year, he asked his father why he didn’t impeach him again. Later, after his father analyzed it carefully with him, he realized that he was thinking too superficially, just as his father said to his niece at the moment. , at that time it was no longer up to my father to choose whether to impeach or not.
His Majesty was able to suppress his father's six overt and covert policies one after another. He did not care about the overt or covert actions of others. Even the cabinet gradually became silent. It was not that the cabinet became mute, but that they, like his father, slowly tasted the truth. The dictatorship of the Holy Will.
After all, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a fuss in the imperial study, but the result could not be changed.
So what can they, as ministers, do?
Is it possible that blood will be spattered in the Jinluan Palace, forcing His Majesty to cut off the nature of father and son?
I am afraid that when that time comes, what will be gained will not be the second prince's confession, nor His Majesty's righteousness in killing relatives, nor the prince's crime of breaking the law with the common people, but the loss of the heart of a loyal minister.
It is undeniable that Your Majesty is indeed a wise king. However, Your Majesty is still a human being. As long as you are a human being, you will have weaknesses. If you want to protect all the princes in the process of fighting for the right to inherit the throne, your Majesty will be blinded.
At the end of the conversation, Zeng Si had said everything he could about the flood in Lueyang last year, and Zeng Lingsong had added what he could. The father and son asked instead about Meng Shi on the Dragon Boat Festival. Three's grudges with Jiang Ziyao.
“I have no grudges with Jiang Ziyao, but I whipped her cousin twice. She was so angry that she went to Mengjia Ruipeng on the Dragon Boat Festival, intending to give me two whips as well to express her gratitude. Let's take it out." Meng Shisan stated the facts objectively.
"You taught that little bully from the Lu family for a reason. He deserves it all! Otherwise, the Lu family would have nothing to do after that? That girl Jiang Tao couldn't even think about it! It's so unfair!" Jiang Tao raised a little girl who argued about right and wrong and often hurt others. If you don't teach, you are just a fool!" Zeng Si was still very angry when he mentioned this, "When I find a chance, I will definitely read it!"
Meng Shisan blinked twice and looked. Asked Zeng Lingsong in a low voice: "Really ginseng?"
"Ever since he heard that you were frightened and sick by Miss Jiang, your grandfather has been thinking about reading Jiang Shaoqing's book, but unfortunately he hasn't found the opportunity yet." Zeng Lingsong revealed in the same low voice, "Although Jiang Shaoqing has the fault of his father for not educating him, But when it comes to official duties, he still does his job well and can handle things clearly. He wants to catch Jiang Shaoqing. It’s not easy to have sore feet.”
Meng Shisan said with clear understanding, and turned to Zeng Si: “If grandpa wants to be angry, Yaoyao has a way.”
Zeng Lingsong was shocked. He had just said that it would not be easy to catch Jiang Tao's sore leg, but in the blink of an eye he had a solution?
"What method?" Mr. Zeng said he wanted to read a copy of Jiang Tao, but in fact it was just a mouthful. He was always the most impartial person, and he was not the one who just wanted to impeach for his own selfish interests. The faint official.
But since his granddaughter said there was a way to make him vent his anger, he was also very curious.
"How about finding a good opportunity when the night is dark and the wind is high, you put Jiang Shaoqing in a sack, drag him to a deserted alley, and beat Jiang Shaoqing into a pig's head in the darkness," Meng Shisan said seriously. Come up with her idea, "In this way, you don't have to worry about scratching your sore feet, and you can also let out a big sigh of relief!"
