Chapter 138 Powerful Minister [07]

Yuan Jia held a ceremony to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Of course, it was impossible for him to be held in Zhenbei Gongfu. He just invited the guests to testify at Zhenbei Gongfu and announced that from then on, Mengzu will no longer be a member of Zhenbei Gongfu.

Even because Yuan Jia was still in the filial piety period, the banquet was not even held, but special matters were handled in special periods.

However, the Zhenbei Duke Mansion could not wait to make the adopted son recognize his ancestors during the filial period. This special situation is undoubtedly a confusing thing.

However, the invitations to invite guests and the ceremony of recognizing ancestors for Meng Chu were held in the name of the old lady.

The former Duke Zhenbei passed away. Yan, as his wife, needed to stay in mourning, and Yuan Jia, as his son, needed to be mourned. However, the old lady had no restrictions as her mother. No one could tell whether she did these things in her name was wrong.

If Meng Chu wants to recognize his ancestors, he has to return to his ancestors' ancestral home. The ceremony is quite complicated, so he just makes a simple certification and announcement in Zhenbei Gongfu.

Because of the face of Zhenbei Gong Mansion, there were quite a few guests coming to participate. Even the current emperor sent a ten-year-old eldest prince to participate on his behalf.

The emperor did not dare not send a representative, worried that Meng Yuanjia would take this opportunity to make friends with court officials, but he did not dare to come in person, for fear that Meng Yuanjia would suddenly be unfavorable to him, so he sent his ten-year-old eldest prince. Anyway, he had a total of three princes.

The eldest prince is not old but is quite precocious. He looks very royal in a straightforward way. However, when facing Yuan Jia, when he thinks of his father's advice to him before leaving the palace, he can't help feeling a little weak.

Listening to my father's words, it seems that this new Zhenbei Gong can't afford to offend him!

When the eldest prince was struggling with what attitude to face Yuan Jia, Yuan Jia actually didn't put his mind on him at all.

He is not even willing to give the emperor's face now, let alone the emperor's ten-year-old son. Now, the Emperor's Duke's Mansion and the emperor can be said to be superficial and ministers, but in fact, it is a relationship of incompatibility between water and fire.

The emperor wanted to destroy the Zhenbeigong Mansion, but Yuan Jia could not be loyal to the emperor as he was in order to protect himself. Giving up the military power in his hands was not a way to protect himself, but to throw away his only weapon and surrender, and entrusting his life to the enemy's kindness is too unreliable.

It’s better to give it a try!

Yuan Jia just symbolically bowed to the eldest prince. After making the eldest prince clearly, he sat quietly aside with a cup of tea. The invitational who actually came out to entertain the guests was the old lady.

Meng Chuan and Lin’s family came late as the protagonist. Yuan Jia looked at Meng Chuan with some displeasure and asked, “Why are you here now?”

After being warned by the butler, Meng Chuan subconsciously felt a little afraid when he looked at Yuan Jia, and hurriedly explained: "Second brother, I accidentally delayed my time because..."

Yuan Jia interrupted his explanation: "Okay, no need to explain, just prepare and start!"

Yuan Jia looked at the Lin family who was shrinking behind Meng Chu. Lin's current husband did not dare to come. Only Yuan Jia personally said that Lin and Lin's children born after remarrying.

After Lin remarried, he gave birth to three sons and one daughter. It is really not uncommon for too many sons. Meng Chu, the son who had with his ex-husband before remarrying, had no weight in her heart.

However, the three sons and one daughter who were born in Lin later stood together with Meng Chu, and there was a big difference. They didn't look like children born to a mother. These four people inherited their father's appearance characteristics more.

Yuan Jia glanced at Lin and the other five people, and said nothing. He really seemed to be bullying the people with his power.

He reached out and pointed a maid and asked her to come to entertain Lin and others.

The appearance of Meng Chuan and Lin family attracted many people's attention. These families who have dealt with Zhenbei Gongfu have met Meng Chuan before. Unexpectedly, when they see him again this time, Meng Chuan turned from the third young master of Zhenbei Gongfu to a civilian whose father and mother remarried.

Feeling the strange gazes that everyone was coming, there were many acquaintances among them. Meng Chuan felt his face burning and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

<<<<<<

Yan also quietly walked out of the backyard to see the situation here.

Yan saw Meng Chuan at first sight. Thinking that the youngest son he had been pampering for many years was leaving him, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She looked away and saw the unpretentious middle-aged woman beside Meng Chu. She thought that Yuan Jia and she told her that she would invite Meng Chu’s biological mother and half-sisters to come together today, and guessed that this woman was Meng Chu’s biological mother Lin.

Because of hard work, Lin looked much older than Yan's family. He didn't look like a person of the same generation. In fact, Lin was a few years younger than Yan's family.

Yan retracted his gaze and refused to look at it again, so he turned around and returned to the backyard.

The old lady walked up with a cane and said to the guests: "Everyone knows the reason for inviting everyone to come today."

The old lady looked at Meng Xi and sighed, "Meng Xi's father was loyal and brave, kind and righteous for my son. In order to save my son, his mother remarried. Only he was a baby and had no support. My Zhenbei Gongfu adopted him and served as a legitimate son for many years, but he could not really steal other people's son. Today, I would like to give you a testimony..."

Meng Zhi gritted his teeth secretly when he heard this. From today on, he has really broken away from the Zhenbei Duke Mansion. Without the identity of the third young master of the Zhenbei Duke Mansion, how many people in the capital respect him?

Lin did not dare to look up, whether it was to leave her son behind after remarrying, or to smear Zhenbei Gongfu and rob her son, the old lady said these words straightforwardly, which exposed her face. How dare she look up?

Yuan Jia stood aside and listened to the old lady's announcement, quietly giving the old lady a thumbs up in his heart.

Although he knew that the old lady was not trying to take revenge on Meng Chu, he just wanted to show in front of everyone that Zhenbei Duke Mansion had never felt sorry for Meng Chu in recent years, and today it was not that Zhenbei Duke Mansion wanted to drive people away, but that Meng Chu was seriously asking Meng Chu to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. However, the old lady's words still touched the heartache between Lin and Meng Chu and his son.

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Meng Chuan and said to him: "Cheer, come here."

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, walked over, and shouted softly: "Old lady."

When the old lady saw that he was not called 'grandmother', she didn't care. She reached out and took a brocade box from the maid and handed it to Meng Zhi, saying, "Your father died and became an orphan, and he took the initiative to sell his body to me, Zhenbei Gongfu, but we never treated your father as a slave. This is his contract to sell his body, so I will give it to you. When you sacrifice to your father, you burn it."

Meng Chu's face turned pale. Perhaps to the eyes of irrelevant people, the old lady's move was a righteous act and did not treat Meng Shisan as a servant, but in Meng Chu's view, the old lady's move was to declare to everyone that Meng Chu was a slave's son!

This is even more inferior than the identity of the son of the personal guard!

Meng Chuan's hands in his sleeves were tightly pinched into fists, and his round nails were trimmed to pinch eight crescent marks in his palms.

Restraining his shame and anger, Meng Chuan still reached out to take the brocade box from the old lady. He did not dare to throw a tantrum and refused, so he could only feel frustrated to his internal injuries.

After attending the banquet at Zhenbei Gongfu, Yuan Jia personally took Meng Chu to the tomb of his biological father Meng Shisan to worship, and then recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown.

Although Meng Shisan is an orphan, he is not an orphan with unknown background. He was only taken from his hometown to the capital by his parents when he was young. His family business was originally prosperous, but there were unexpected events and people had good fortunes and good fortunes. Meng Shisan's parents both died unexpectedly, leaving only the young and ignorant Meng Shisan's child.

The clan members in the hometown had a long relationship with Meng Shisan's parents and were almost out of the fifth session. After Meng Shisan's parents died, no one from the clan members came, and the family business was embezzled and the family business was taken away. Meng Shisan was left on the streets and later sold himself to the Zhenbei Duke Mansion.

By the time of Meng Chu's generation, he and Meng Shisan's tribe members had already come out of the five-sanctification period, but tracing the root of the source, it was Meng Chu's ancestral residence. Meng Chu recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown, so he had to go back.

Yuanjia sent several personal guards around him to send Meng Zu back to his ancestral residence, and asked his clan members to record his name in the genealogy and officially recognize his ancestors.

After a series of ceremonies, when Meng Chu returned to the capital, they all passed the New Year.

The wind direction in the capital this year has long changed, and no one has ever discussed Meng Chuan, the fake third young master of Zhenbei Gongfu. Meng Chuan, who had already done his job and came back to bear the pressure of public opinion, was still feeling a little lost.

A pretentious person like him cannot stand the ridicule of others, and even more so, the ignorance of others.

When he left, he was the center of the topic of the people in the capital, but when he came back, he was silent, just like an ordinary civilian coming to the capital, without any attention.

<<<<<<

This Japanese Yen Ka got home from get off work from the Ministry of War early.

He is now filial, but the emperor deliberately took away his love and allowed him to serve in the court in order to appease him. However, he did not have to drink and have fun with his colleagues, and he could go home on time to rest after work.

Yuan Jia has been very calm this year and does not seem to have any unfair intentions. He just honestly became his assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

However, whenever the emperor proposed to let the 200,000 northern troops stationed outside the capital go north, Yuan Jia would make excuses to shirk.

The 200,000 northern army in the north seemed to be hanging above the emperor's head, making him unable to sleep or eat.

The emperor issued an imperial edict and sent people to urgently summon troops from all over the country to serve the king and protect the emperor. However, until now, no soldiers and soldiers entered the capital. The emperor was so anxious that he issued more than a dozen imperial edicts, but each imperial edict was like a stone sinking to the sea, and the angels who announced the imperial edicts could not be seen in life or death or corpses.

No matter how stupid the emperor was, he knew that someone had attacked those who had sent him for help, and his imperial edict was not sent out of the capital.

And the emperor thought that this attacker was Yuan Jia without thinking.

However, Yuanjia was very honest and obedient. The emperor could not catch any of his hands. He wanted to investigate the evidence of Yuanjia's intercepting the angel, but he could not find any evidence pointing to Zhenbei Gongfu.

As time went by, the emperor found that more and more courtiers seemed to be watching the walls in the court.

At the beginning, many court officials would impeach the fans of Zhenbei Gongfu under his instructions. However, with the failure of many impeachments, fewer and fewer court officials were willing to listen to the emperor's words and continue to impeach Zhenbei Gongfu.

This uncontrolled feeling made the emperor feel very panicked. He could feel the undercurrents in the court, but he didn't know how to solve it.

He wanted to ask for help from his important officials, but the emperor was afraid that these important officials would be bribed by Meng Yuanjia, or wanted to be a neutral fence-bearer. Maybe he asked for advice on how to get rid of Meng Yuanjia, but Meng Yuanjia received the news that he led a 200,000 army to force the palace.

The emperor could clearly feel that the army of kings was slow to come, and his prestige in the court became weaker and weaker. On the contrary, Meng Yuanjia's voice became stronger and stronger. Even though he rarely expressed his opinions, few people would refute him as soon as he spoke.

All of these things made the emperor feel as if he saw himself turning into a clay puppet in the future, or simply being cut off by Meng Yuanjia.

The emperor was unwilling to accept his fate, so he secretly sent a few confidant eunuchs to sneak out of the city with his edict...
