"The second uncle said that this is not the first time that my grandfather has remonstrated. He is a shrewd old man and will not really risk his life. What's more, the third uncle is here. The third uncle will stop my grandfather at the critical moment and ensure that the old man is not harmed. No harm, they have practiced in the study several times," Meng Yanxing said quickly knowing that his sister was worried.
"I know my grandfather knows what he is doing, but after all, he is getting older and his legs and feet are not as flexible as before. If anything happens..." Meng Shu was really worried.
"I will go to the palace to see the princess tomorrow. I will ask the princess to send someone to keep an eye on the outside of the palace. If my grandfather is really injured, I can rush over to treat him immediately. As for my eldest brother... can I go to the palace on duty tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid not!" Meng Yanxing shook his head: "According to the rules of the guard army, we cannot change defense easily unless ordered by the commander. But we have fallen out with the Wei family now. Even if I go to beg, Wei Mingtao will not I definitely won’t agree.”
My sister and Wei Qingyun broke off their engagement, and the relationship between their two families was no longer what it was before. The Wei family was in charge of the bodyguards, so some things were naturally difficult to handle.
He originally wanted to be transferred from the guard army, but his father told him not to move for the time being.
"Okay, I will send someone to deliver the message to the palace first, and ask for an audience with the princess tomorrow." After Meng Shu finished speaking, he quickly asked someone to prepare pen and ink and write the greeting message in person.
"In addition to the courtiers, those scholars who came to Beijing to take the exams will probably kneel outside the palace gate tomorrow and beg the Queen Mother to take back her life." After his sister finished writing the post, Meng Yanxing spoke.
Next month is the autumn period. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, scholars who participate in the autumn period can take the exam in the state capital where their household registration is located.
There were thirty-six state capitals in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Candidates who belong to the capital city naturally have to go to Beijing to take the exam.
Including candidates from several counties in the suburbs of Beijing.
Autumn is less than half a month away. Of course, students should go to Beijing early to prepare and find an inn to stay and study.
We can also discuss together on weekdays.
Maybe you can still bet on the right question.
More than two hundred years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, it had never surrendered to any of the surrounding countries.
If you bully Da Zhou, just beat him!
Although these scholars have no power to tie a chicken, they are extremely arrogant after reading a lot of poems and books.
How could a dignified Zhou do such a thing as lowering his status by asking the princess to marry him?
These literati are still very conservative in their hearts. The Queen Mother has been in power for eight years. Although there were no major disturbances in the Zhou Dynasty, compared with when the late emperor was alive, the national power has indeed declined, and even the national destiny has not been what it used to be. That's great.
Everyone is also talking quietly in private, saying that this is all caused by the male chicken Si Chen and the reversal of yin and yang.
In addition, the Queen Mother has reused her cronies, pampered the King of Wei, blindly shielded and indulged them over the years, and caused a lot of troubles. Take the incident of King Wei causing trouble in the palace. This excitement has not completely passed, and everyone has no control over the Queen Mother's governance. I have been very dissatisfied for a long time.
Because of this, the emperor's health improved a little, and the civil and military officials in the court quietly came to the emperor's side, wishing that the emperor could come to court every day.
In addition, the Queen Mother wanted the princess to go to the Western Qiang Kingdom to get married, which aroused public outrage.
The only destination for human heart is Tao and righteousness.
The Queen Mother's move is indeed chilling.
"Listen to what my elder brother said, there will definitely be trouble in the capital tomorrow. If the Queen Mother listens to the advice, it will be fine. If not... I'm afraid a lot of people will die." Meng Shu frowned tightly.
"I happen to be in the mansion tomorrow. I will close the door tightly and restrain everyone in the mansion. They will not enter or exit unless necessary. I will never give those who fish in troubled waters an opportunity." Meng Yanxing said quickly.
This kind of thing has happened before in the capital.
The masters in the palace were fighting for power, causing trouble. Someone took the opportunity to pretend to be a Jinwu guard and wiped out the entire family of his enemies.
Although the British government has never had a deadly feud with any family, they still have to be careful.
"Our Duke's Mansion has three hundred guards. Even if something goes wrong tomorrow, they can still protect the family members in the Mansion. However, there is always an eventuality in everything. I will send all my people back to help my elder brother." Meng Shuzhuan. Said over his shoulder.
"Okay!" Meng Yanxing did not refuse.
Because the guards in their house are all men, my sister has more than a hundred female guards who have been on the battlefield, and they can be used to guard the women in the house tomorrow.
"They are now members of the Anxi Escort Bureau. They have nothing to do with my British government. I will send someone to the Anxi Escort Agency and pay them money to hire them. I will ask the female guards to come over at night. The remaining ones There are more than a hundred male guards, so they will not be allowed to enter the house. We will act according to the situation tomorrow." Meng Shu thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Meng Yanxing nodded quickly, this arrangement was very appropriate.
Meng Shu had just ordered Qingdai to go to the Anxi Escort Bureau when she heard a report from the maid that Princess Jiahe had sent a young eunuch to send a message, asking Meng Shu to enter the palace early tomorrow morning.
Meng Shu had already sent someone to send the post to the palace to ask for an audience. After hearing about it, he quickly recovered it.
"You and the princess have a good understanding," Meng Yanxing said.
"Princess Jiahe is a headstrong person. She feels bad when something like this happens. She has no sisters. She probably wants to talk to me in the palace." Meng Shu sighed.
Meng Shu guessed right. Princess Jiahe was indeed very angry. She had nowhere to vent her anger and grievances, so she wanted to find someone to talk to and complain about.
When the Queen Mother and the Emperor summoned the Western Qiang envoys, Princess Jiahe also went.
Cui Jingyu, who was waiting outside, not only did not stop her, but also took her to the tea room next to the main hall to drink tea and rest.
That place was originally used by eunuchs who served tea to prepare tea for the emperor and the queen mother. Sitting there, Princess Jiahe could not only drink tea leisurely, but also hear the conversations next door.
When she learned that the Queen Mother, who had doted on her all these years, was actually persuaded by the envoy of the Western Qiang Kingdom and wanted her to get married, she froze.
Later, because the emperor's brother tried his best to stop it and analyzed the pros and cons and persuaded her, the queen mother gave up the idea.
It was also because the Chen family was powerful, not only the Duke's palace, but also in charge of 50,000 navy troops. The Queen Mother felt that marrying her to the Chen family was more cost-effective than marrying to the Western Qiang Kingdom, so she did not let her get married.
She was a royal princess, and the only princess. In the eyes of her legitimate mother, she was nothing more than an object that could be exchanged for benefits.
It's funny that she has been favored for so many years, and she is really confident. She feels that she will still be the most favored princess in the future, and she will be happy even after she gets married.
Reality gave her a head-on blow.
In the face of interests, the Queen Mother always chooses interests and does not care about her at all.
I think so. On the surface, the Queen Mother is very good to her cousin, her mother-in-law, and she is also very good to her, but in fact?
The mother-in-law is just a tool for the Queen Mother to give birth to a son.
The Queen Mother originally let her mother-in-law enter the palace just so that she could help her give birth to a son.
As a princess, she shouldn't really think that she will get wind and rain just because of the doting on the queen mother's face.
