Chapter 140 Powerful Minister [10]
After Meng Chu left Zhenbei Duke Mansion with anger, the servant who came out with him caught up with him and lowered his voice to warn him: "Young Master, your performance in Zhenbei Duke Mansion today is not in line with the master's intentions. How can you leave with anger?"
Meng Chu turned to look at the servant sent by the emperor. Although the servant's ordinary face was full of respect and his tone was respectful to him, he could still feel the warning and disdain in this person's words.
This guy looks down on him!
Meng Chuan keenly noticed this. Meng Chuan, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, wanted to get angry, but considering that he had to look at the owner to beat the dog, the owner behind the dog could not afford to offend him, so he could only bear it: "Didn't you hear what Yan and Meng Yuanjia said just now? They all clearly stated that I was not welcomed, and I was still licking my face and staying there for what to do?"
The servant only found it ridiculous for Meng Zun's strong self-esteem and pride. He said respectfully: "Young Master, even if Zhenbei Gong beat you out, you have to crawl in for the sake of your master."
Meng Zhi's face twisted for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?"
The servant was not afraid of Meng Zhi's anger and said lightly: "Don't forget the task assigned to you by your master. If it cannot be completed, you will not want to know the consequences."
Meng Chu's face suddenly turned pale. Perhaps it was because of the first time he came into contact with the emperor, the emperor was too gentle, which made him forget the emperor's majesty and strength for a while.
Now after the servant's reminder, Meng Chu couldn't help but think about how the emperor would deal with him if he ruined the emperor's affairs... He is a civilian, the only thigh he can hold is the emperor. If he even had to deal with him with the thigh he hugged, who could save him?
Meng Zhi was silent for a while, and lowered his voice and said, "I understand, I will do it."
He returned to his house in depression. The house where he was originally cold was only left, but now he has several servants serving him. The house covered with weeds and dust has long been cleaned.
Meng Chuan didn't feel comfortable after walking in, because he had just returned from the gorgeous and grand Zhenbei Duke Mansion. Compared with Zhenbei Duke Mansion, what is there to like in this small and dilapidated house?
"Son, you are back!" Lin hurriedly came out, looking at his hands and the hands of the servant behind him with anticipation. Seeing that both of them were coming back empty-handedly, their faces could not help but show disappointment.
Why did I get nothing back after I went to Zhenbei Gong Mansion?
In Lin's heart, she felt that Zhenbei Gong Mansion must be full of gold and silver, and any stone is deducted and brought back is worth a lot of money.
As a result, Meng Chu finally went there and didn't get anything?
When Meng Zhi saw Lin, he remembered what Yuan Jia said just now. He was upset and had no good expression on Lin: "What are you here to do? Come and fight Qiufeng again? I have said it, I can't support your husband's family."
Lin said dissatisfiedly: "That's your younger brother and sister, how can you ignore it?"
Meng Zhi was cold-hearted and weak, but he was not easily suppressed by his biological mother with filial piety. He sarcastically said indifferently: "I am still your own son. Didn't you abandon it when you said you would abandon it? They are just my half-sister and I haven't seen each other a few times. Do you still expect me to be kind?"
Lin judged others by himself, and felt that Meng Zhi could not raise his younger brother and sister, so he said, "I am your biological mother. You have to be filial to me, otherwise I will go to the government to sue you!"
Meng Zun was not afraid at all and encouraged him: "Then go! Before you go and sue me, you just promote your behavior of abandoning your parents and children. It just so happened that my adoptive mother likes me very much, maybe I can go back to Zhenbei Gong Mansion again!"
Seeing that the only threat was no longer useful, Lin was at a loss. She could not have really offended this only promising son to death. She immediately softened her attitude and started crying to Meng Chuan without raining.
Meng Zhi was in a irritable mood and was impatient to get involved with her more often. He asked a maid to take a string of copper coins for Lin and sent the person away.
A string of copper coins is a considerable amount for ordinary people. Lin happily took the money and went back.
On the way home, Lin was suddenly stopped by a young woman. The woman was covered with a veil and couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she reached out and handed Lin a silver ingot.
Lin subconsciously took the silver into his hand, took a bite, looked at the teeth marks on it and was very happy, looking at the young woman and asked, "I'm really giving this silver? I'll give me any questions!"
The young woman said in a cold tone: "This silver is just a deposit. I just want you to go to Meng Zhi's house every day to make trouble, whether you cry and complain about his unfilial piety or ask him for money, anyway, you just want to make trouble so that he can't be at peace."
Lin was stunned, his eyes turned, and he said, "Girl, if I do this, I will ruin our reputation."
The young woman took out another ingot of silver and put it in her hand.
Lin could only see silver in his eyes, and responded in a stack of voices: "No problem! I promise to do it for you to be a good girl!"
What is fame? It’s important to be rich? Fame cannot be used as a food!
A commoner like Lin's family is not as concerned about reputation as a wealthy family. She is the best at making trouble.
When she bit the second silver ingot and looked up at the young woman, she found that there was no one in front of her, and the young woman had disappeared at some point.
Lin didn't care either, she put the silver into her arms with a baby.
<<<<<<
The next day, Meng Chuan, urging by the servant, planned to go to Zhenbei Gong Mansion with shame.
As a result, early in the morning, before he finished his breakfast, he heard a violent knock outside the door, and Lin's iconic loud voice: "Son, open the door quickly, open the door quickly! I am your mother!"
Meng Chu frowned and put down the chopsticks in his hand, signaling a servant to open the door.
After Lin entered the door, he sat opposite Meng Chuan without seeing him. He reached out and grabbed a crystal dumpling and ate it. Meng Chuan's brows jumped and his appetite was gone.
"Can you not grab it with your hands?"
Lin stuffed his mouth full and said vaguely: "The nest is like a mud girl, but the things need mud pipes?"
Meng Zhi looked at Lin with a cold face and picked up the porridge and drank it full. After she finished eating, the table of exquisite breakfast was ruined.
Lin wiped his mouth with his shiny black cuffs and said to Meng Chuan: "I came here today to ask for money. I am your biological mother. You have to give me money to honor me."
Meng Chu said coldly: "I don't have money, go out!"
If it were in the past, Lin might have softened his attitude in order to continue to be favored from Meng Zhi in the future, but this time she used money to do things, and immediately cried and made a fuss: "Unfilial son! I was pregnant for ten months and walked away at the gate of hell before giving birth to such a evil deed. If I had known that you were so unfilial today, I would rather drown you in the urine pot! Heaven has no eyes. Why did such an unfilial son be raised by someone? I want to go to the government to complain, but the government will not give a sentence, so I will go to the imperial court to sue..."
The servants sent by the emperors around were stunned. This was the first time they saw such a shrew who rolled around, cried and made a fuss.
Meng Chu's face turned pale. With so many servants watching, Lin was extremely embarrassed, and even he was extremely embarrassed.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, stop howling, embarrassing! I will only give you a tael of silver."
Lin immediately stopped the voice and got up from the ground like nothing happened, "One or a tael of silver is fine."
Meng Chuan took out a tael of silver for her, and wanted to use this to send someone away, but Lin suddenly found that he was having sex with him in a place where there was someone. Instead, it was much faster than usual to please him. Lin, who tasted the sweetness, asked for money again...
This time Meng Chu refused to give it to him. Not only did Lin make a fuss in his house, but he also ran to the gate to sit and cried to tell his son that he was unfilial and refused to recognize his mother. When his mother encountered difficulties, she asked him to borrow some money and refused...
In this world, filial piety is the most important thing. Parents can beat their children to death, but children cannot fight back. There are many examples where parents are unkind and people around them are not allowed to be unfilial.
There will certainly be someone who points out the Lin family if he abandons his parents and children to remarry, but if Meng Zhi refuses to be filial to his biological mother, he will definitely be overwhelmed by the spits and will be stabbed by others.
Yuan Jia sat in his study, listening to his servant's vivid retelling of the scene where Lin made a big fuss at the door of Meng Chu's house, and laughed happily: "The evil people still need evil people to fight!"
Once a person like Lin is entangled, he will not be able to get rid of him.
In order to appease Lin, Meng Chuan gave her a lot of benefits. Even if no one paid to make her mess with Meng Chuan later, she would take the initiative to take advantage of her to get the benefits from Meng Chuan.
So Yuan Jia ordered: "Since she got the benefits from Meng Chuan, there is no need to pay the final payment for her."
Thinking of the Lin family's words that smeared Zhenbei Gongfu, Yuan Jia was still a little worried about the two silvers that he sent out as a deposit.
Meng Zhi and Lin family were entangled. Now they were one of them, and they had no intention of coming to Zhenbei Gongfu to cause trouble. Zhenbei Gongfu could also peacefully spend this period of mourning.
Yuan Jia was ordered by the emperor to seize his love, and he was still an official during his filial piety. He seemed to be just a left assistant minister in the Ministry of War, but in fact he developed the right assistant minister into his own person.
The Minister of War was emptied by his own left and right hands.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
The emperor endured it for a while, but couldn't help it anymore.
After Yuanjia learned that the military pay of Zhenbei Army had been deducted by two-thirds, he immediately went to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for money: "Mr. Li, you can't do anything to deduct military pay, otherwise it will easily cause a mutiny in the army."
The Minister of Revenue listened to Yuan Jia's implicit threatening words and smiled bitterly. He didn't want to do such an offensive thing? But the emperor issued an imperial edict. Can he still resist the edict?
Because Meng Chu was entangled by Lin's family for a long time, the emperor couldn't wait to think of a bad idea and deduct the military pay of the Zhenbei Army.
When the emperor thought that the 300,000 Zhenbei Army was paid by him, the army was loyal to Meng Yuanjia, and there were 200,000 Zhenbei Army stationed outside the capital to threaten him, he was so angry that he came.
He deducted the military pay, and saw where Meng Yuanjia could make money to pay the military.
Chapter completed!
