Many times, a man's self-confidence comes from the outside world.

Meng Ye's battle was so beautiful and majestic that his whole body started to tremble again, and his arrogance was comparable to that of a general commanding thousands of troops.

At home, he was even more uncompromising, and even Mrs. Meng had to avoid his sharp edges.

Meng Yan couldn't bear her husband's anger at his father, so she moved out with her husband regardless of her mother's pleas to stay.

At this time, Zhou Juren was very disgusted with officialdom. He was already a little discouraged before officially entering the official career, and he did not want to further obtain fame. He thought that maybe he could look back and be a teacher like his father, and live a leisurely life.

Forget it after a lifetime.

Although Meng Yan is not a person who regards wealth as a floating cloud, she is a little afraid of the several changes and supports her husband's decision.

I just tried to persuade Zhou Juren not to be too deliberate, but after studying for so many years, he didn’t want to be named on the gold medal list. At least he should take the exam again to get a reputation and prove his talents. As for becoming an official, we will talk about it later.

Zhou Juren thought about it. If he didn't take the exam, he would have to go home and face Yang. It felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

They are not bad people, they all have their own difficulties, and this is what makes people feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, before getting married, he made up his mind that he would not take a concubine under any circumstances. If he really couldn't survive, he would divorce her. He would not let another woman or his children go back to his old path.

He told Meng Yan tactfully about this early on, just to reassure her and avoid causing more trouble.

After this experience with Zhou Juren, the couple was completely at peace with each other.

Meng Yan felt that it was a blessing in disguise and she was doing well, but she couldn't help but worry about her brother.

Lewen from Guojun Prince's Palace is his future sister-in-law. Now that the two families are in such trouble, how will his brother live?

But in this kind of thing, in the end, only women are wronged. Men still have a choice.

…

While Meng Yan felt a little aggrieved for Le Wen.

There was a lot of commotion in Prince Guojun's palace.

The Crown Princess hated Meng Ye because of her own affairs, and she also became dissatisfied with Le Wen, who was about to marry Meng Jia. She was picky and picky.

Princess Guojun hated this daughter-in-law even more, and in a fit of anger, she took two concubines for her son to see if the princess could do anything else.

Don't you like to play tricks on your mind? I'll find you a few more people to make it more lively.

As for whether the house was in chaos, she couldn't control that much. No matter who gave birth to a son first, she would bring him to her and raise him, and not interfere with the affairs of the inner courtyard.

The Crown Princess was very aggrieved by this and went to Mrs. Xue to complain.

Mrs. Xue only tried to comfort her perfunctorily, but actually did nothing and just watched with cold eyes.

From the moment she entered the house, this imperial concubine has been pretending to be stupid and being a good person on both sides. Who wouldn't be able to tell it when you look at her?

But Mother You felt aggrieved for Old Concubine Xue.

That day, when I saw the Crown Princess walking out of Old Concubine Xue's room with red eyes, I couldn't help but said to Old Concubine Xue: "Old Concubine, I would like to say that I'm overstepping my bounds. You can't always let the Crown Princess be entangled.

Ah. It’s time to talk to the Crown Princess about their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s affairs. It’s better for you not to get involved too much, so that the Crown Princess can stop pestering you all the time.”

Old Concubine Xue smiled nonchalantly and said: "She has no choice but to find someone to talk to. That's all, it's just a good deed, and I'm just sitting around, taking the disadvantage as a blessing. She won't even let her talk.

Maybe she will do something if she is depressed."

"But this Crown Princess is so shameless. She actually said behind her back that you encouraged her brother-in-law to marry a village girl." You's mother thought about the gossip she had just overheard from the little maid in the Courtyard of the Crown Princess, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction.

Old Concubine Xue smiled again. "What she said is true. The idea for her mother's family to marry the Meng family was indeed my idea, and I was not wronged."

This is where Mother You feels unfair: "You are kind and pointed out a way. How can I blame you if things don't work out in the end? Besides, before the Zeng family confiscated their property, Mr. Zeng had no worries about not getting a good wife. Now,

The Zeng family’s house was confiscated, but it’s a good thing that we got engaged early, otherwise it would have been difficult for me to marry a decent wife, so why should I wrong her?”

"I mean well." Mrs. Xue shook her head.

She didn't mean well, she just came up with an idea because she was cold-blooded, especially this idea was really bad. In the end, it was others who were sacrificed. It would be natural for her to get through the difficulties together, so it would not be harmful to her.

Thinking about the Meng family, they are really a group of people. They may have fallen into someone else's scheme.

She had known about it for a long time and had warned Mrs. Li not to influence the Meng family to avoid being plotted against.

But caring leads to chaos, and when it comes to something related to them, they become confused. If Princess Guojun hadn't given such an idea, and it was the beginning, they wouldn't have lowered their guard. If they had known this, they might as well have found another way.

, destroying evidence, and even taking the initiative to plead guilty to prevent others from taking action.

They Guojun Prince's Mansion and even the Zeng family were not the real messengers. They were just confused and got involved. If they really wanted to take the initiative to plead guilty, they would just reprimand them and they would be fine. But in the end they ended up like this. They were deceived.

The family traitor took advantage of it, which is really not the case.

"You...have been walking outside a lot lately to listen to what people outside are talking about this matter, especially about Mr. Meng." Old Concubine Xue told Mama You.

"Yes." Mother You responded, then asked, "What about Prince Ding's Mansion? Shouldn't we take a closer look?"

"No need." Old Concubine Xue said firmly, "Princess Ding is eight or nine months old now and is about to give birth. She doesn't want to know these things."

"Do you think this matter has something to do with Prince Ding's Mansion?" You's mother looked around and said cautiously, "I'm just a servant. I don't understand complicated things. I just think that with the help of the master, I can't help you."

How could such a big case be uncovered..."

"Mother You, you talk too much." Mrs. Xue's face immediately changed, her voice was low but serious, "Don't say what you shouldn't say. I've told you so many times."

"Yes, old concubine, I know my mistake." Seeing that old concubine Xue was furious, You's mother quickly admitted her mistake, and then she didn't dare to hesitate and went to inquire about the matter.

After Mrs. You left, Old Concubine Xue sighed secretly.

Originally, things were already like this and had passed. She shouldn't think about it so much anymore. This was not like her usual behavior, but she still couldn't rest assured.

Certain matters concern the entire Guojun Palace, and she cannot stay out of it.

She had to keep an eye on it at all times. She didn't want the Guojun Prince's Mansion that she had been carefully maintaining to be destroyed in one day. Just as You's mother said, Meng didn't seem like someone who could plan such a big thing. There must be someone expert behind the scenes.

Originally, this kind of thing was normal. After all, it was about making a grudge against someone, and many people didn't like to show their faces directly.

But it was really unusual for the court to go back and forth over a mere river corruption case. It was really unusual. If things went wrong, big things would happen, so she had to keep an eye on it.

…

Not long after, a piece of news came, shocking both the government and the public.

Princess Yushan of the fierce tribe was killed on the way to get married.

He was killed by a group of people of unknown origin, and no one in the entire marriage team was left alive. The incident happened at the junction of the Meng tribe, Dajing, and Dazhou.

The Meng tribe sent an envoy to question Dazhou, thinking that Dazhou was dissatisfied with the Mongolian people's marriage to Dajing and deliberately sabotaged it and killed the princess.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty naturally did not recognize it.

The envoy said some unpleasant words in the court, which made the emperor very angry. If the ministers had not persuaded him hard and said that if the two countries were at war, he would not behead the envoy. The emperor would have pushed the envoy out and beheaded him.

Even so, the envoy was expelled from the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. As for Princess Yushan, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty simply said that he did not know.

The courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty also thought that it was unreasonable to ask them, the Great Zhou Dynasty, to explain this matter. It happened in a zone without any evidence and no evidence. Why should they say that it was done by the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Dajing is now divided into three parts of the world. The fierce tribe wants to form an alliance with one party. The other party is naturally dissatisfied. They are also afraid that after the alliance, one party will be too powerful and the balance will be broken. Therefore, they sent people to kill Princess Yushan, broke the alliance, and married Princess Yushan.

It is not unusual for people to suffer harm.

Taking a step back, there is a blood feud between the Meng tribe and Dajing. Almost all men in every household of the Mongolian tribe died in the war against Dajing. Many people in the tribe opposed the marriage. Maybe they themselves did the same.

Unknown.

Why should you question Dazhou?

Why is the Zhou Dynasty still dissatisfied with the behavior of the fierce tribe? It is so unreasonable to have two boats.

The courtiers all suggested that they should show some shame to the Meng Clan and completely cut off the exchanges between the two countries to see what the Meng Clan could do.

There is no need to worry about the Meng Clan falling out. The bloody feud between the Meng Clan and Da Jing can still be reconciled. Even if Da Zhou goes too far, whatever happens in the future can still be resolved easily.

Some court officials suggested that more troops should be sent to the border to support Prince Ding.

It would be good to shock the fierce tribe, so as not to be unable to cope with any sudden changes.

The ministers in the court all said something to each other, one after another, impeaching the Meng people. The final words made the emperor even more angry. After thinking about it, he continued to send troops to the border to garrison.

In the past few years, we have been recuperating and recuperating. Not to mention the big holiday, we have enough food and horses, and we don’t need too many soldiers. We mainly use well-equipped iron cavalry.

As for leading the troops, let Shao Li lead them.

This was also the idea of ​​one of the emperor's closest ministers.

It is said that many of the troops outside are in the hands of King Ding, so there may be some surprises, so we still have to send more generals... to support, which is equivalent to monitoring.

There have been a lot of rumors about King Ding recently.

Especially since Princess Ding is about to give birth, the man will just give birth in the afternoon. If he has a son, many things will be different. Things he didn’t think about before will be thought about now, and things that were like before will be changed now.

In order to prevent King Ding from having any dissent, he still had to send another general there, and the leader could not be on good terms with King Ding, but must have a quarrel with King Ding, and the two could not unite.

Then the best candidate is naturally General Shao Li.

The emperor listened to his adviser and sent Shao Li to the border to provide support.

In the harem, Concubine Yang, who had been neglected by the emperor, finally hoped that the emperor would be interested in visiting her. After hearing these things, in order to please the emperor, she came up with another idea.

In order to prevent Prince Ding from having any objections, it is best to bring Princess Ding into the palace to take care of her.

The emperor was moved again.
