The General and His Enemy Your Highness

Three men plus a young man, the atmosphere was strange and stiff. No matter how tall Chu Yan and Chu Luo were from, their aura was weaker than Mei Geng's by half.

But after all, Mei Geng couldn't kill these two royal highnesses in public. He squinted at Chu Ce, who was bowing his head, and thought to himself, where is your ability to fight with me?

"The Fifth Highness was indeed not in the palace last night." Mei Geng stretched out his hand and patted Chu Ce's shoulder, as if to comfort him, and said with a half-smile: "But the two Highnesses, I don't even know that my younger brother is missing. I think it's the Crown Prince or King Luo. If you don't return all night, the entire imperial city will be alarmed and search for people everywhere."

Clearly ridiculed, Mei Geng has always been so arrogant and unruly, the prince changed his face on the spot, and said with a sneer: "What a king of Xiping."

He paused, and suddenly his face turned to sarcasm, with a bit of schadenfreude, and walked away.

"The Marquis of Yongding is very angry, King Xiping may wish for good fortune."

Yesterday, the young master of the Yongding Hou's family was kicked and vomited blood, and this morning, the news spread throughout Yong'an City.

But... so what?

That kid committed crimes on his own, dared to fight against his brother in the street, and Yu Zhiren's doting on his concubine and destroying his wife was already at a disadvantage, and making trouble in the Hall of Supreme Harmony would only embarrass him.

What's more, it was the only son of Lu Taiwei's family who really made a move. King Xiping had no pressure on this and was very relaxed.

Chu Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "King Xiping is still the same as before, not even giving face to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

——So when did I give you face?

It is difficult to distinguish between the king of a different surname and the prince of the royal family, but Mei Geng was not too presumptuous, and said meaningfully: "The face is lost by myself, and it is no different from others."

A pun, especially the three words "get together", I don't know who he is talking about.

"King Xiping is right."

Chu Luo's expression remained calm, as if he didn't understand Mei Geng's obscure warning, he retreated politely.

The smile in Mei Geng's eyes slowly faded away. It was a pity that he had spent a lot of thought to get rid of these two people back then, but it was a pity that he left a lot of trouble afterwards, but since he could kill them once, he could kill them a second time.

Withdrawing her gaze, she lowered her head to look at the little prince, but found that his probing eyes met each other, and Mei Geng froze for a while.

Chu Ce frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "What happened?"

When he saw Yu Yi in the palace this morning, he had already guessed something, and just now the crown prince's warning made Chu Ce sure that this matter had something to do with Yu Yi and even Yongding Hou's mansion.

Thinking of the charming Yu Meiren who might still be in the Xiping Palace at this moment, Chu Ce's expression became even uglier, with a tight little face, telling others clearly - I am not happy.

"Lu Zhibei kicked Yu Lan." Mei Geng said in an indifferent tone, straightened his cuffs embroidered with cloud and water blue gold thread, pinched the little prince's cheek, and said in a low voice: "Yongding Marquis Don't dare to make trouble at this time, at most go to the palace in private."

After all, it was on the palace road, so it was inconvenient for Mei Geng to say too much, but Chu Ce understood his intention, and asked in a low voice, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Mei Geng smiled without saying a word, but there was a deep and complicated look in his eyes.

He hadn't slept all night, and he couldn't figure out why Chu Ce was so cruel at that time, and he couldn't figure out why Chu Ce, who had always relied on him and trusted him, would betray him.

But he took revenge, repaying the betrayal in the cruelest and bloodiest way, the death penalty was eliminated, and the things of the previous life ended in the previous life.

Mei Geng suddenly leaned down and whispered in the little boy's ear: "The Marquis Mansion of Yongding is a great help, and Yu Yi is not easy either. We need the Marquis Mansion."

Mei Geng's vacillating heart was completely stabilized when he saw the dignity of those two, even if Chu Ce was not good at all, it was better than those two people who were disgusting to look at.

As for killing the donkey and repaying revenge, the smile on Mei Geng's lips was a bit obscured - I'm afraid the little boy in this life can't do it.

Of course Chu Ce knew that Yu Yi was not simple, and that his past life was full of doubts about his ignorant death, but Mei Geng's explanation made Chu Ce's gloomy mind suddenly enlightened. He hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Be careful, after all It's the Hou Mansion."

Meddling with family affairs is a big taboo. After all, you close the door to your own people. No matter how embarrassing you are, it is your own family's business. Mei Geng blatantly keeps Yu Yi in the mansion, because he wants to disgrace the Yongding Hou Mansion to the entire Yong'an City. .

King Xiping straightened his cloud and blue court clothes, and walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony calmly, this was the first time he went to the court after recovering from his injury, and the sights around him from time to time were different, contempt, disdain, admiration, affirmation , There are all kinds of things, Mei Geng doesn't squint, and doesn't care.

Sitting on the bright dragon chair is the old emperor who has passed his age. The brilliance and martial arts of the early years have long since disappeared under the indulgence of these years, leaving only gray hair and a fat body. The extravagant and expensive dragon robe also looked extremely uncoordinated on his body.

Mei Geng lowered his eyes, paid homage with all the officials, and shouted long live, but what he was thinking about was the stupid things he did in this hall back then, when Chu Ce was unparalleled and beautiful.

The early court was nothing more than that. Although the Chu State was weak, it would never be destroyed. In the Northwest War, all the officials of the Mei family died in the court. Only Mei Geng, a young king with a different surname, was left. Soon someone pointed the finger at him.

"Your Majesty, I think that the defeat in the Northwest was caused by mediocrity."

No need to say who this mediocre person is, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty know it well.

Mei Geng raised his eyelids, glanced at the thin old man with white beard from the corner of his eye, and thought about it for a long time before he remembered—Lin Dang, Minister of Rites.

It seems that the public punishment of Lin Zichen a few days ago has been hated, Mei Geng raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Some people took the lead, and rumors of crusade flooded in like a tide. The Mei family was defeated, and the generals also lost their face.

But there are always surprises, such as Lu Taiwei who speaks more sharply than literati.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Taiwei Lu stepped forward, and after obtaining permission, he pointedly said, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Your lords keep saying that the responsibility lies with the Xiping Palace. How dare you ask who would dare to fight for the Mei family? enemy?"

In other words - you do what you do!No, shut up!

"Lieutenant Lu's words are wrong." Lin Lu held the wat board in his hand and said expressionlessly: "No matter what the defeat in the Northwest, the Xixia envoys will come to Yong'an for peace talks, let alone the loss of the Great Chu. In charge of his duties, the Mei family's army is a military general, so there is nothing wrong with being loyal to his position, there is a reward for returning from victory, why can't the defeated general be punished?"

In this way, it will be another debate, as if tens of thousands of mosquitoes are buzzing together.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

A clear and deep voice sounded, and there was a moment of silence in the hall. Everyone looked at the king with a different surname in the cloud-water blue python robe, but saw that his expression was slightly gloomy. Dark and ruthless, with many years of wind and frost as the blade, the cruel and cold aura seems to be covered with a layer of blood. Everyone who is swept by this line of sight is covered in cold sweat. I can't figure out how a young man who has not yet reached the crown There will be such eyes.

"In the battle of the Northwest, 23 members of my Mei clan, [-] soldiers, died in Jinwu Ridge."

He paused every word, the knuckles holding the wat turned white, as if he had been greatly wronged, but the eyes that were lowered due to bowing his head were calm.

In his previous life, he was suppressed by these old things for several years. If he was wronged and accused by them again in this life, he might as well just sleep in a coffin.
