Chapter 175 The difficult choice of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion
In the courtyard of Zhenyuan Junfu, a stage was set up in the backyard. Old Mrs. Meng sat down in the audience with her maid and maid, and Su Weiwei stood behind her and pounded her back gently...
She occasionally looked up at the stands. It was a group of actors who performed "Farewell My Concubine". The male actor who played Xiang Yu was pretending and the female actor who played Yu Ji was shy. Old Madam Meng frowned and seemed to be unhappy when she heard it. Su Weiwei was also absent-minded. She remembered the scene when Yue Heng sang for her in Hongxian County, and thought of Yue Heng who was taken away by a level seven monkey demon general. Her heart was in chaos.
"snort!"
Old Lady Meng snorted, and Su Weiwei realized that she had accidentally hit the old Lady's neck just now. She was startled and immediately stepped forward to kneel down: "Please calm down, Weiwei knew she was wrong..."
"Come here, drag Xiang Yu down and beat him forty again, and he has no aura of martial god!"
At the order of the old lady Meng, the guard guard walked onto the stage like a tiger and wolf, dragging the male actor who was kneeling down and trembling. Soon, screams came from the outer courtyard.
"Wiwei, get up, I know you are uneasy, but there is nothing I can do about this. General Meng has been arguing in the palace all day, but the other party is a prince, and General Meng cannot cover the sky with one hand." Old Mrs. Meng held Su Weiwei's hand and signaled her to stand up.
Old Mrs. Meng looked at Su Weiwei and felt a little sad.
This pretty girl who was in a happy and laughing mood on weekdays was shocked when she heard the news that Yue Heng was taken away by the monkey demon. She was restless all day long, lost her soul, and became thinner day by day. She could never find the happiness of the past and suffered a major mental blow.
Su Weiwei didn't give up and asked carefully: "Can General Meng send the experts from the army to rescue him privately?"
Old Mrs. Meng sighed and said, "You must never say such words on weekdays. You are worried now and don't care about it. Do you know what is the most important thing in governing the country? It is the rules! It is the same with the military governance. Without rules, you cannot be square. Every general in the Zhenyuan Army has his own responsibilities. If you send troops privately, it is a violation of military orders and a crime of beheading!"
Su Weiwei, a woman, didn't know much about the country and military affairs, quickly admitted her mistake in shame. Her poor look made Old Lady Meng unable to bear it anymore. She waved her hand to end the theater and asked Su Weiwei to help her return to the room.
"Old lady. General is back!" A maid came to report from the front hall.
When Su Weiwei heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately became energetic, her eyes full of hope.
Old Mrs. Meng felt the changes in her body and smiled faintly: "Vivi, send me to the lobby to see General Meng!"
Meng Zhan was not alone in the lobby. He was summoning discussions between the Meng family's rooms. More than a dozen people sat in the lobby. They were all directly affiliated with each house in the Meng family. Although they had already separated,
The old lady Meng had four sons and three daughters. The eldest son Meng Guang died on the battlefield twenty years ago. The second son Meng Li was the old minister Fuge of the Military Affairs Office, and the third son Meng Jian was the assistant minister of the military headquarters responsible for the Zhenyuan Army. The fourth son-in-law made the highest battle, and all three sons-in-law arrived. In addition to the masters in person, several core third-generation Meng family young masters were also present to listen to the training.
Old Lady Meng was helped by Su Weiwei into the lobby. The Meng brothers in the inner hall stopped to discuss and stood up to say hello to their mother. After greeting grandma, several third-generation young masters of the Meng family were staring at Su Weiwei involuntarily.
In the eyes of these young masters of the Meng family, I felt pity for this slightly haggard woman, with a peerless appearance, elegant demeanor and graceful figure. Many people had her ideas in their hearts.
"You guys keep going, Vivi massage my back." Old Lady Meng intended to let Su Weiwei stay because she wanted this poor girl to stop being suffering from random thoughts.
Su Weiwei stood obediently behind Old Lady Meng, without saying a word, and didn't even raise her head.
Meng Zhan glanced at her and knew that this was the goddaughter taken by the old lady, so he didn't think much about it and continued: "The people who served the King's Army rushed to Yuncheng, the capital of Yunjun this morning. However, I had already established a relationship with Yunjun half a year ago. The defenders of Yuncheng were all from my Zhenyuan Army. The guards of the city did not see my military order and blocked the King's Army outside the city. The two sides had a conflict. Ten people died. In addition, the defenders, the King's Army's special envoy and guards, arrested and imprisoned them in the dungeon. Chu Yaotian found me privately before Wuchao and threatened this matter. If I didn't come forward this time, he would not have gone to trouble with Yunjun."
Everyone was shocked, Meng Li asked, "What happened? The army fought to death in private and violated the most serious law of the military headquarters. The chief was dismissed, and the violators were asked to beheaded, nine clans were killed, and the place where the blood was sent! Why didn't the Military Affairs Office hear any news?"
Meng Zhan snorted coldly: "Fortunately, Yun County was blocked and controlled urgently, so the news did not leak! Second brother, don't worry, I promise that this news will not be spread again!"
Everyone understood and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Since Meng Zhan could guarantee that it would not be reported, it means that he must have reached a reconciliation with Chu Yaotian. Both sides were wrong in such a big thing, but Zhenyuan Army had even greater mistakes. Meng Zhan would definitely pay more for reconciliation.
Meng Li beat the armrest of the seat and said unwillingly: "Zhangshu of the Ministry of War, he was unable to leave his illness. The left assistant minister Tian Wanshou is an old slippery man, and the right assistant minister Chen Zhenchu is even more treacherous. I can't speak alone, so this time the Ministry of War will definitely be mixed with the slut, and no one will offend. Fourth brother, you reconcile with Chu Yaotian again, so don't we just watch the arrogant and domineering army of the king and attack from all sides?"
Meng Zhan looked at the third brother irritably and asked, "Did Chu Yaotian oppress your military headquarters?"
Meng Jian shook his head: "The military headquarters has always been the civil servants in charge of the government, proclaiming absolute independence and being loyal to the king. Although General Chu is the leader of the royal army, he cannot reach his hands into the military headquarters. Fourth brother, you are the same as General Chu. The civil servants will not be too biased towards you. The military headquarters will also have a mixed ending."
Today in the court, the civil and military officials in the court were making noises and various opinions were raised, but King You of Chu always refused to express his opinion, as if he was watching the fire from the other side of the river and watching everyone perform.
In addition to Chu Yaotian's questioning, killing the human race was a death sentence. The King's Army was killed by the Yuncheng Guards. Two fifth-level martial arts soldiers, one fifth-level literary master, and the other seven were all third- and fourth-level official generals. Chu Yaotian suffered huge losses, which of course would bring huge pressure to Meng Zhan.
“It’s so stressful!”
Meng Zhan lie backwards, and he also has to consider the true intention of King You of Chu and dare not make a conclusion casually. He is a general with heavy troops and the focus of attention of the world. The Zhenyuan Army is not involved in politics, which is the traditional default rule of various countries. He would rather be useless than sing a counter-tone with the king, which goes against the king's will.
