For the first time, Liu Qi felt that it was so happy to have a father-in-law who could be used as a backer, he would show the way when he was undecided, he would shelter himself from the wind and rain when he was facing the wind and rain, and he would give him a ride when he needed to hurry up Until today, Liu Qifang understood the truth that his father's love is like a mountain, and the reason why his father chose the daughters of Yue Fei and Wang Meng as concubines for himself was to let this Wen Yiwu escort his position as the prince.
And last year, he didn't do anything more, because Cao Huan offended Yue Yinhua, which eventually led to Yue's suicide by throwing himself into a well.
Although Yue Fei's performance is awe-inspiring, but with the death of Yue Yinhua, cracks are inevitable, even if he can ignore the past suspicions on the surface, but he is afraid that the mustard in his heart has been born, and Yue Fei's father and son will definitely not treat themselves as before.
Hearing that Wang Qiang said that he wanted to invite Wang Meng to come to the Prince's Mansion to discuss countermeasures, Liu Qi hurriedly stopped: "Lord Yue's father-in-law has a lot of opportunities, he works more than me, and he has reached the age of not being confused, let's go to the door to visit, so it also seems to respect the elders." ” "Your Highness is really getting more and more mature, I'll just go and dress up.
Please also ask His Highness to inform the Cao family, so as not to snub her.
Wang Qiang was very satisfied with Liu Qi's courtesy, and did not forget to remind Liu Qi not to snub Cao Huan.
Liu Qi, who knew the new crown princess, was very grateful, and immediately went to briefly explain the matter to Cao Huan, and then shared a car with Wang Qiang and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion under the escort of the guards.
After passing through the streets and alleys full of people, the husband and wife came to Wang Meng's prime minister's mansion after half an hour and entered to meet together.
Wang Mengzheng was having dinner with his wife, three concubines, and seven or eight children, and when he heard that the prince and his wife had come to visit, he knew that something had happened, otherwise it would be impossible to suddenly come to the door without prior notice.
Although Liu Qi is a son-in-law, he is the current prince and the prince of the Han Dynasty, so Wang Meng's family must pay homage.
Liu Qi hurriedly returned the salute and greeted him that his family did not need to be polite.
Wang Qiang whispered in Wang Meng's ear for a while, Wang Meng's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly brushed his sleeves and said, "Come to the study with me to talk."
At that moment, Wang Meng led the way, and Liu Qi and his wife followed, passing through the corridor and pavilion to the well-guarded study.
After listening to Liu Qi explain the matter roughly, Wang Meng read Meng Hui's letter again, and immediately concluded: "The letter should come from General Meng, but nine times out of ten it was manipulated." ” Then Wang Meng analyzed the reason, and his views were similar to what Wang Qiang said, and finally said with a gloomy face: "Someone actually modified the information without authorization, it is really audacious, and this matter must be investigated."
Liu Qi was stunned and said: "What is the purpose of this person to modify the information without authorization, and what benefits can be gained from it?"
Wang Meng took the case and said bitterly: "It's not for the word power throughout the ages, the emperor's family cannibalizes each other, and brothers are on the wall, which is not uncommon.
And I thought that Your Majesty was wise and martial, in the prime of life, like the sun, all the ladies of the harem will definitely do their duty, and maintain the royal order in peace and stability, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated the greed of human beings for power."
Liu Qi didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and changed color and said: "Lord Yuezhang means that this letter was modified by the people in the harem, but what is the purpose of his doing this?"
Wang Meng said solemnly: "Naturally, because you are the crown prince, if you are under Liu Ze's bewitchment, you have a competitive heart, and you are bent on overwhelming the king of Lujiang, and send troops without authorization, in case you are ambushed by the Wei army, there are three long and two short, although the Han will not be turbulent for this, but the ladies of the harem are afraid that there will be a battle between the open and the secret for the position of the prince."
"Could it be that the person who revised the letter wants me to send me to death" Liu Qi was surprised, his face was full of disbelief, "After all, I am the eldest son of my father, if this is modified by which concubine in the harem, my heart is too vicious."
Wang Meng patted Liu Qi on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Rong Laochen called you a virtuous son-in-law, although you and I are monarchs, we are also Weng sons-in-law."
Father-in-law is here to remind you that people's hearts are sinister, and you have to guard against it, especially if you are in the position of the prince, and you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you secretly, waiting for you to make mistakes and report you, digging pits and waiting for you to jump in, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future. ” Liu Qi hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your father-in-law's teachings, my son-in-law must remember it."
Then he thanked Wang Qiang: "Thank you Madame for reminding me today, otherwise I would probably send troops without permission." ” "It is within the concubine's share of worries for the husband, and if there is something wrong in the future, I hope His Royal Highness will take care of it."
Wang Qiang hurriedly bowed to Shi Li, got up and then asked Wang Meng, "In the eyes of my father, who is so bold as to dare to calculate to be the prince of the court?"
Liu Qi said angrily: "The letter was sent by Liu Ze, who else is just a playful teenager, fighting cocks and walking dogs all day long, I'm afraid there is not so much scheming, I guess nine times out of ten it was planned by Feng Yu and Liu Ke's mother and son." ” Wang Qiang said with a sad and indignant face: "Liu Ke and His Royal Highness are both bloodlines of His Majesty, and they are only about a year younger than you, why are they so vicious?"
Wang Meng paced back and forth in the study, frowning and muttering: "Since the letter was sent by Liu Ze, Feng Yu's mother and son naturally can't get out of it, but in my opinion, I'm afraid that their mother and son don't have such a big courage, and there must be someone behind them." ” "Father thought that who instructed Feng Yu's mother and son to be so bold" Liu Qi felt both angry and a little sad, and for the first time felt that not everything would make people happy when they were born in an imperial family.
Wang Meng stroked his beard and said: "Think about it, Feng Yu is now only one of the nine concubines since she was demoted, and in addition to the queens of the east and west palaces, there are also concubines, concubines and other nine concubines.
And His Majesty has always disliked Liu Ke and Liu Ze brothers, even if the virtuous son-in-law is bloody on the battlefield, what benefits can their mother and son get Is it possible that His Majesty will let Liu Ke succeed him as the crown prince, so from this point of view, Feng Yu should not have such courage. ” Liu Qi was taken aback: "Could it be that Lord Yuezhang thinks that this matter is related to the two queens, if I die under the Wei saber, only the sons of the two queens can hope to succeed to the throne."
Wang Meng said: "The virtuous son-in-law has analyzed it well, and I am afraid that this matter is inseparable from one of the two queens." ” "Then which queen does my father think is too vicious, you have to find an opportunity to explain to Your Majesty, you can't bully us for no reason just because Your Highness's mother died early."
Wang Qiang wiped her tears and cried out for her husband.
Wang Meng's face was like frost, and he kept walking around: "Queen Zhen has a kind personality, treats people modestly, and the days when she came to Jiangdong are still short, although she has a few relatives to rely on, she is not her own family after all, I am afraid that Queen Zhen does not have this mind and courage." ” After a pause, he continued: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that what Empress Zhen does on weekdays is deliberately disguised in order to win the sympathy of the people of the world and pave the way for her son to seize power.
After all, there is a saying that when Wang Mang is humble and not usurped, the Duke of Zhou is afraid of rumors, and the virtuous son-in-law, as the prince, will try not to trust anyone easily in the future, nor believe in the illusion seen on the surface, and remember that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable to this sentence" "Thank you for your teachings," Liu Qi bowed again.
Wang Meng continued to analyze: "Relatively speaking, Empress Wu is the most suspicious, first, the Lu family was once prominent, and she had the support of the Jiangdong Shi clan.
Second, Empress Wu has extraordinary qualifications and has been in the palace to serve His Majesty for more than ten years.
Third, Queen Wu is scheming, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and has an extraordinary reputation in the palace and among the people, which can be seen from the ministers forcing the palace to support her and Zhen as the queen of the same position.
From all these inferences, Empress Wu must not be willing to be subservient, and has been waiting for the opportunity to push Liu Zhi, the king of Bohai, to the position of crown prince.
Therefore, most of today's events were planned by Feng Yu and Empress Wu, otherwise Feng Yu might not dare to act so boldly with Feng Yu's guts."
Liu Qi said with an embarrassed face: "If this matter is really instructed by Empress Wu, I am afraid that she will not be able to defeat her, first, she has a good reputation, and the officials and the people are very supportive of her, and the letter was sent by Liu Ze, and we didn't grasp the handle." ” Wang Meng's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he said solemnly: "Since Empress Wu is so aggressive, it is better to let the old minister take this opportunity to plan and completely defeat the Wu clan and eradicate this fierce enemy on the road to succession for the virtuous son-in-law." t1706231537:
