Chapter 616: Persuading to Let Go
Meng Shisan thought to himself, it is indeed the innate love between father and son.
No matter how disappointed Li Shou was with Emperor Zong, after all, they had a blood relationship that was constantly separated and a loving nature that was inherited from the same origin.
It would be really difficult for Li Shou not to care about this family relationship at all.
However, if one day, Li Shou can really let go of the natural constraints between father and son, then it is hard to say whether the emperor's throne can still be secure.
Relying on her profound insight into human nature for more than a thousand years, as well as some understanding of Li Shou during this period of time, she felt that by then, the Zong Emperor's throne would be in jeopardy.
After Meng Renping finished speaking these words, he stared at Meng Shisan closely. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, he asked: "In your opinion, what will your Majesty do at that time?" What kind of response will your Majesty take? "
"I once had a frank conversation with my elder brother about the fire in the East Palace, which was actually my intention to realize myself. It is just a strategy used to achieve the goal. Moreover, the same is true for the leaks between the Jingyamen and the Confucian Temple. All the details and the whole story, except for the East Palace, were handled by Gao Jin personally. It's clear and clear." Meng Shisan did not respond directly, but changed the subject and continued, "Luo Siqing was ordered to conduct an in-depth investigation into the three fire cases. My eldest brother hopes that Luo Siqing can do it. Is it enough to find some useful clues, or is it best not to let Luo Siqing find out anything?"
Meng Renping said slowly: "As for the cause and source of this matter, since you After confessing to me, I have already reported it to His Highness. Luo Siqing is responsible for investigating the case, but until now, the root cause has not been found. If we continue to investigate, it will be difficult to gain anything. Yaoyao, neither Your Highness nor I hope that this matter will be implicated in you."
Meng Shi. When San heard that neither Li Shou nor Meng Renping wanted to see her in any trouble, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Even if this disaster is caused by me?"
Meng Renping showed a look of disapproval and said in a deep voice: "How can we call it a disaster? When the water broke out in the East Palace, you clearly did it to save me and Fu Feng, and also to relieve His Highness. This is definitely not a disaster. What a blessing!"
His voice was firm and powerful, as if he wanted to carve these words deeply into Meng Shisan's heart.
Meng Shisan couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart. She said softly: "Brother, why don't you find a suitable opportunity to persuade His Highness to stop having expectations for His Majesty and let them go?"
Meng Renping looked confused and asked: "Let go "
Meng Shisan's eyes were firm, and his words were tactful and profound: "Since ancient times, the homes of emperors have been ruthless places. Who in the past dynasties has not experienced bloodshed and mountains of bones? Tragic situation? There is a new dynasty to replace the old dynasty.”
Meng Renping understood the profound meaning instantly, but after a long silence, he slowly spoke: "How could His Highness not understand this truth? But many times, knowing and taking action are completely different things. Your Highness lost his biological mother when he was a child. Your Majesty is the only father you can rely on, and your Majesty always sticks to your mission. The late Queen has vowed to do her best to protect His Highness until he is about to reach adulthood. Next year, His Highness will be able to hold the coronation ceremony. When His Highness marries the Crown Princess, the First Queen will surely be able to rest in peace. "< br>
“Your Majesty has a father-son affection for His Highness, but His Majesty does not I only have a father-son relationship with His Highness." Meng Shisan reminded Meng Renping, "The flood case in Lueyang last year and the collapse of the lantern mountain in Bixu Manor this year can't be related to the Second Highness, not to mention the lanterns. When the mountain collapsed, it was said that His Highness took a dangerous risk and narrowly escaped death. The evidence he brought back from Lueyang was enough. It proves that His Highness is the culprit who caused many Lueyang people to die in vain. What did Your Majesty do?”
Not only did Emperor Zong fail to punish Li Heng, but he used the power of the emperor to suppress Li Shou angrily. Li Shou turned the evidence he had collected so hard into a pile of useless waste.
"You..." Meng Renping's eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but was blocked by an invisible force in his throat. In the end, he could only say this. Simple yet powerless syllables. "Brother, do you think I made a mistake?" Meng Shisan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of provocation and confidence in his eyes.
Her calm face seemed to hide endless wisdom and insight, which made Meng Renping, her eldest cousin, look askance at her.
Not only was it not wrong, but it was all right!
Meng Renping sighed secretly in his heart.
However, facing this young, energetic, talented, and daring cousin, he felt unprecedented pressure and helplessness.
At this moment, he seemed like a beast trapped in a cage. His heart was already full of anger regarding the flood case in Lueyang last year. His Highness Yu was suppressed despite taking risks to obtain evidence. He was unable to move, and his heart was filled with unwillingness.
Therefore, at this time, he could not find any breakthrough at all to refute his cousin's thoughts and opinions.
Meng Renping's hands clenched into fists unconsciously. He knew that what his cousin said was reasonable. He had even thought about it in his mind earlier, but the idea was too stormy and had just come to his head. Then he taught him to suppress it by himself.
Now that his cousin was talking about it, he couldn't find the right words to reject her point of view, and the overwhelming thoughts suddenly came to his mind again.
He fell silent.
Meng Shisan saw that Meng Renping was silent when she talked about it, and she was not in a hurry to push forward. There are some things that always take some time to digest.
She also became quiet and said nothing.
In this way, as time passed by, the surrounding atmosphere became slightly strangely quiet, as if even the air had solidified.
After a while, Meng Renping said slowly: "Well, what you said does make some sense. But this matter needs to be considered in the long run. I have to find a suitable time to present this matter to His Highness. . However, it is unknown what His Highness will ultimately decide and what actions he will take next..."
His brows frowned slightly, with a trace of worry on his face.
At this moment, Meng Shisan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted and said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, I firmly believe that with His Highness's wisdom and courage, you will be able to make the most sensible and correct decision." The choice! ”
