Chapter 728 The secret is brought back
Meng Renping first went to the main courtyard to greet Meng Tianguan and Mrs. Meng, and then followed Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu to the study in the main courtyard.
I came out nearly half an hour later and checked the time. It was a bit late, but if I didn't talk to my cousin tonight, I was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep.
So he no longer hesitated and turned to Taichen Courtyard.
After Meng Shisan asked Shangchun to go into the house and take the silver fox to feed, he also stayed in Mingxiao Hall, waiting for Meng Renping's arrival.
"As soon as I entered the city gate, I went to the palace first, met with His Highness in the East Palace, and told His Highness everything about the trip to Fangshan, and then left the palace and returned to the mansion." Meng Renping went to meet with the elders of the mansion first. He said, "It's already too late when I come to you."
"It's okay, I'll be waiting no matter how late." Meng Shisan knew that Meng Renping would definitely come, "Brother, is this trip going well?"
Meng Renping did not answer, but looked around to find something: "Where is the silver fox?"
"I asked Shangchun to take Xiaoyin to eat meat." Meng Shisan replied.
Meng Renping reached out to Gaoyuan: "Bank notes."
"No." Gao Yuan immediately took out two banknotes with a face value of one thousand taels from his sleeve pocket. He presented them with both hands and explained, "Sir, they are all here."
Meng Renping nodded, took the banknote and put it on the table in front of Meng Shisan: "More meat for Xiaoyin."
Meng Shisan picked up the two thousand taels on the table with a smile, handed it to the orb, told him to put it away, and said to Meng Renping: "Brother, do you want to thank Xiaoyin?"
"It was thanks to Xiao Yin that I was here all the way to Fangshan. After entering Fangshan, it was even more thanks to Xiao Yin who risked his own life to save me many times. Otherwise, even if I could come back alive, I would probably be the same as Shi Zhixian." Meng Renping's tone was full of joy.
"Brother, are you exaggerating?" Meng Shisan didn't know what happened, but she knew that her eldest cousin's trip to Fangshan was secretly protected by the guards from the East Palace appointed by Li Shou. She asked Xiaoyin to follow him, and the master was by his side. Just auxiliary.
Meng Renping shook his head: "The danger of this trip is beyond my expectation. Although the guards of the East Palace sent by His Highness are strong in force, no matter how strong they are, they cannot be stronger than... evil magic."
"Evil magic?" Meng Shisan had expected it. To say that he was not surprised, but to hear the evil magic from Meng Renping's mouth must mean that the person Shi Chu offended was not even avoided by the East Palace. Violation.
"Shi Zhixian is already seriously ill. According to what Imperial Physician Gao said before, Shi Zhixian will not survive until the end of the new year." After Meng Renping arrived at Fangshan County Yamen, he first went to see Shi Chu and saw that Shi Chu couldn't even get out of bed. its lifeless breath He was greatly shocked, "My daughter has been living in the Lu Mansion. Didn't she kneel down to you in the street and beg you to lend a helping hand to save her father? Miss Shi must have known that she was at the end of her rope."< br>
"I asked her to ask Guo Duhu for help, but it failed." Meng Shisan told Shi Lianchun the idea she had given her, "Her friendship with Miss Guo Er is far from enough for Guo Duhu to look at her seriously. ”
Meng Renping could understand: "Guo Duhu has always been a staunch member of the emperor's party and a loyal old minister of His Majesty. He also has the merit of serving the dragon. He does not need to get into trouble for a mere stone coffin."
"Then His Highness takes action..." Meng Shisan was confused.
Meng Renping held out two fingers: "Firstly, isn't this what you suggested? Secondly, there are not many ministers like Shi Zhixian who are loyal and love the people and are not afraid of life and death."
In other words, Li Shou is cultivating his own indestructible team for the new dynasty.
It was not that Meng Shisan had never had such thoughts, and she had thought about how Li Shou would build his new dynasty team in the future more than once. She proposed to him to ask for Shi Chu because she wanted to know where his bottom line was, and she also wanted to know about his future. After ascending the throne, will he be a wise king? At least so far, the answer he gave her was that he was.
He has ability, wisdom, strategy, and courage.
In order to uncover the truth about the flood in Lueyang last year, he could leave Beijing alone and go to Lueyang to take out the evidence that was hidden in the sun and bring back the witness that was caught in the gaps.
In order to protect his subordinates who are loyal to him under his wings, he can kneel in the imperial study room, endure the burden, and not give up his temper for a moment, just for the sake of a bright future, and no evil can be hidden.
He could also spend a lot of time planning for the sake of Shi Chu, a small official in Fangshan, and assign his trusted ministers to go there in person. He wanted to fish out thousands of loyal and upright people like Shi Chu, and he also wanted to lay an indestructible foundation for the new dynasty in the future. .
Everything he did was for the country and the people.
Meng Shisan asked: "What is the current situation in Shizhi County?"
"I have secretly brought him back to the capital, and he has been placed in a private residence outside His Highness's palace." When Meng Renping went to the palace, in addition to reporting, the main thing was to ask Li Shou for instructions on how to place the stone coffin. , "I got His Highness's order to leave the palace and settle down in Shizhi County, quietly invite Dr. Gao to His Highness's private residence, and then return to the palace."
Meng Shisan made a sound, tilted his head towards Meng Renping, and asked curiously: "His Royal Highness actually has a private residence outside the palace? Where is it?"
"Several of their highnesses have private residences." Meng Renping smiled and told all the princes' private residences, and finally mentioned Li Shou's private residence, "Your highness's private residence is not far from our place, just across the street. , on the left side of the main entrance of our Meng Mansion, is the one with 'Li Mansion' written on it."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Li's Mansion? Is it so common?" Meng Shisan thought that she had seen many Li's Mansions when she went out on weekdays. "Is His Highness's Li's Mansion unknown to anyone unless you tell me about it?"
Meng Renping nodded: "Of course. The less people know about His Highness's private residence, the better."
Meng Shisan thought about the connection and agreed: "Well, it is true that the fewer people know about it, the better."
After all, the safety of the Crown Prince of Wei is the most important thing.
But when she thought about how Li Shou had been keeping secrets from her until today, and now that she had learned from her eldest cousin, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She put her hand on her chest and heart, and this strangeness made her feel strange.
Such a strange emotion, as a great demon, she had never felt before.
"What's wrong? But you're not feeling well?" Meng Renping saw Meng Shisan's movements and immediately thought of what he had learned from his grandfather and father. Since his eldest cousin came back from home today feeling a little sick, His Highness sent another large car. Regarding medicinal materials, "If you are really feeling unwell, don't hold on. I heard that Doctor Yu came here tonight, but he didn't prescribe a prescription. Why is that?"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Meng Shisan called out to him: "Brother, wait a minute."
Meng Renping turned around with a firm look on his face: "I'm going to the imperial hospital now to see if any of the imperial doctors are still on duty. I'll ask you to come over and take your pulse. Especially heart disease, you must not take it lightly!"
