Poor monks do not break the precepts

There are many noble ladies in the capital, and Madam An Guohou's death was only mourned for a few days, and when the ripples in the pool of the capital gradually calmed down, everyone gradually forgot about it.

The sky was getting hotter and hotter, and the heat was becoming unbearable, but in this scorching sun, the capital was unusually calm.Regardless of the rivers and lakes or the court, everyone seemed to be dying from the scorching heat. For more than two months, there was no disturbance.

Although Emperor Meng took action to investigate Hehuanzhai at the beginning, he dealt with many women and prostitutes in the capital at that time, and some women were officials' housewives in the capital, but these were all concubines, and they were all vixens. Seeing them lose their lives, naturally there is not much objection.As for those officials and lords, they are all in danger, anxious to save their lives, and it is too late for them to confess.

In the court hall, the crown prince was deposed, the second prince died, and the fourth prince Meng Yinghuan jumped up, becoming the most popular candidate for the heir apparent.However, most of the people who supported him were low-ranking officials in the court. The elders of the two dynasties, the princes and marquises in power, never spoke.

And Emperor Meng didn't seem very satisfied with Meng Yinghuan, and was even more afraid of seeing him dominating, so he deliberately praised Meng Qingrun, forming a double attack.

However, Meng Qingrun seemed to be deliberately avoiding it. At the court, he followed Emperor Meng's wishes, and after the court, he still treated his brother as friendly as before.Therefore, compared with Meng Yinghuan's efforts, Meng Qingrun won the Sacred Heart even more.

"Tell me, my third brother, why don't you be in a hurry." Meng Xiuran said dryly, gulped down his cup of tea, and said impatiently, "Now that Meng Yinghuan is gaining momentum, I see that there are many people chasing him. One faction, but the third brother is still like this."

Sitting in front of the case, Xu Sheng carefully sorted out the list of ministers in the court, and did not raise his head when he heard the words, "An Xishan, Dong Cheng, Ning Guogong, An Guohou and other veteran ministers have spoken up?"

"That's not true, those old courtiers and mutes are right, they don't know what to ask, and they all depend on the decision of the father."

Meng Qingrun smiled, "Since they haven't spoken, what are you in a hurry for?"

Meng Xiuran was still dissatisfied, and argued vigorously: "But now they are not used by the emperor. On the contrary, those poor children are rising quickly, but they don't express their opinions. If this continues, Meng Yinghuan will sit on the throne of the prince sooner or later." Don't worry, wait until he really grabs that one, and you will cry to death."

Huai Mingmo was reviewing the matter of Xuanji Pavilion by himself, put down his pen when he heard the words, and patiently explained: "Those courtiers who are reused are pure streamers, and the words of these people are very important, and it's not that the old courtiers don't say anything, but it's just that they haven't reached the right time yet." When they opened their mouths, His Highness the Sixth Highness didn’t realize that the emperor who is the most powerful jumper is going up and down, deprived of real power.”

"You mean..."

Xu Sheng handed Meng Qingrun the list of people who should be recruited by the court, and Fang Youkong said: "If you don't fight, you will fight. If your third brother doesn't fight, the emperor will fight for him. Meng Guangheng's death is nothing on the surface. In order to replace the dead ghost, but everyone knows it in their hearts. The emperor's heart is like a mirror, and whoever dances the most now is the most suspicious. Don't look at him cooking oil with fire and blooming flowers, just wait and see that tall building collapses."

Someone said with such certainty that no one in the room knew the meaning behind it, Xu Sheng was about to make arrangements.

A few people had lunch in Prince Liang's Mansion, it was rare for Xu Sheng to sit down for a while, unlike usual, he left in a hurry.It's just that he has been flipping through the miscellaneous notes in the study absently, and glanced outside the courtyard from time to time, as if he was very concerned about things outside the study.

There was a distinguished guest staying in the study, and the owner of the mansion had no choice but to accompany him when he was free, because Xu Sheng didn't say anything, it would be impolite to ask hastily, so everyone was just curious and just waited.At the end of the hour, the sun was shining outside, and the steward of the front yard brought in two women.

The two followed slowly, one behind the other, the woman walking in front was graceful and coquettish, with a charming smile on the corner of her mouth just right, more hooks would make her look dusty, less hooks would be too cold.

"My lord, two girls said they came to see Mr. Xu."

Wen Sheng glanced at Xu Sheng, Meng Qingrun agreed: "Please come in."

After entering the house, Hong Xingrui paid homage to the two princes first, and then quickly bowed down in front of Xu Sheng, "Mister, thankfully, Xingrui lived up to her fate. She searched for several months in the capital, and finally found Miss Ding."

Since saving Hong Xingrui, Shui Wu Gong has rescued many poor women through her.It has to be said that this Hong Xingrui is really capable, and her ability to persuade is really strong based on her friendship.

Originally, Ding Ying had no intention of coming forward at all. After all, she had been persecuted by He Huan Zhai for many years and betrayed by her relatives. She had long since hated and despaired of the world.But for such a person, Hong Xingrui only spent more than a month to convince him, which can be regarded as saving a wonderful person in vain.

Seeing that she moved her fingers, Hong Xingrui quickly stood up with a smile on her face, and pulled Ding Ying who was standing coldly behind her, and said charmingly, "Xiao Ting, talk to me."

Xu Sheng saw the difficulty, and said with a smile: "Miss Ding chooses what she knows, let's listen."

Ding Ying had poisoned Lianxin Huiji, so he knew that he was a false life, and the person who could put Lianxin Huiji in trouble immediately did not hide it, and explained what he had to say.Most of this is what Ding Zixu told her. She also hates her brother who is not a human being, but she knows that her brother always keeps his hands on things. Since the secrets he will tell her must be extremely important, she also agrees. Don't dare to forget.

About He Huan Zhai's secret affairs, Meng Qingrun already knew most of them. He just wanted to deal with the Jianghu affairs, but he was powerless, so he wasn't very interested.As for the fake prince, Xu Sheng was also guessing, so he didn't raise it hastily. Unexpectedly, Ding Zixu found out so clearly. Meng Qingrun was stunned for a long time when he heard about it.

"What do you mean, Miss... that Mrs. Zhen knows that Meng Yinghuan has been dropped and is a fake prince, and she is still collaborating with this fake prince?"

Ding Ying nodded solemnly, and looked at Meng Qingrun with firm eyes, "Yes, not only does she know, she also knows who her own son is."

Meng Xiuran asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xu Sheng speculated: "Mrs. Zhen has known the truth for the past two years. Because of this, she knows very well that if the matter is revealed, her son will definitely lose the throne. If her son cannot win the throne, how can Mrs. Zhen become the Queen Mother? So she would rather have a fake son than expose the real and fake prince."

Even if you don't say it, there are smart people in the room, and you can understand the reason if you think about it a little bit, and you can't help but snort.

This Mrs. Zhen is really a cruel woman. When she first entered the palace, she was very favored. Fortunately, she gave birth to a daughter within a year. At that time, she often competed with the little princess for favor, and even made the little princess sick to invite Emperor Meng to visit. .Until one time, the little princess got smallpox because she didn't know what to do, and she never survived.When Emperor Meng learned the truth, he was very furious and restrained her feet at that time. Unfortunately, this woman was so lucky that she was pregnant again.

When Lianxin Huiji changed the prince, Mrs. Zhen had already fallen out of favor. After Meng Yinghuan grew up, she was quite sacred, and pretended to be a filial son, and gave her the position of wife that he had asked for from Emperor Meng.

So if the fake prince is not around, and Jiang Shuzhen is asked to go back to the old days, with her selfish nature, how can she agree? For her, there is no difference between real and fake flesh and blood, she just needs to sit on the position of empress dowager.

Ding Ying slowly recounted the conversations he had heard, which made everyone sigh.

"What kind of mother is this? She sacrificed her son because of her own future. She really doesn't deserve to be a mother." Meng Xiuran's mother and concubine were not favored, but they treated him extremely well, so he naturally couldn't understand.

His heart felt as if someone had hit him hard, Huai Mingmo gritted his teeth in pain.

Meng Xiuran didn't know, but the other two in the room knew Huai Mingmo's identity, and they couldn't help staring at Meng Xiuran reproachfully.Meng Xiuran was confused for a moment, but he didn't want to lose his face to ask, so he shut his mouth and continued to listen.

After Xu Sheng had heard about it, he reached out his hand to stop Ding Ying from continuing, and said: "Miss Ding, if one day you need to confront the imperial court and expose Lian Xin Hui Ji's conspiracy, would you be willing?"

Following two loud kowtows, Ding Ying said with determination and sternness: "As long as she dies, you can take my life in exchange. Don't worry, Mr. Xu, let alone confronting her in front of the emperor, even if you want me to To kill them both in front of the imperial court, I, Ding Ying, will definitely not back down."

With Ding Ying's approval, Xu Sheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. After all, Ding Ying's identity card is not very important, but the evidence in her hand must be the ironclad evidence that Ding Zixu left behind Lianxin Huiji to change her son.Lianxin Huiji has been planning for many years. Although she seems to be mad to take revenge on the martial arts and disturb the muddy water, her real intention is to restore the country. Of course, she also wants to destroy the several sects that overthrew the previous dynasty.

Since Ding Ying was very important, Xu Sheng didn't dare to entrust it to others for protection, so he resolutely thanked Meng Qingrun for his kindness, and secretly entrusted it to Mr. Bianji for protection.After they came out together from Prince Liang's mansion, Ding Ying was handed over to Chen Xiang, and he was secretly sent out of the capital that day, as for where he went, only Xu Sheng and a handful of people in Wuzhilou knew.

Although Huai Mingmo was curious, he was afraid that he would ask. If he accidentally revealed something bad, he simply suppressed his gossip and didn't ask anything.

If others couldn't see it, Huai Mingmo noticed the obvious strangeness of Xu Sheng, and asked Xu Sheng in private: "You are acting strangely recently, it seems that you are acting very cautiously, did you find something wrong?"

This question made Xu Sheng questionable at the time, because he couldn't come up with it, so he replied: "It's nothing, maybe I've been thinking too much recently, so I'm a little suspicious."

The warm wind outside the window gently blows over the ice jar, and it is already cool to the side of the bed.

Huai Mingmo hugged Xu Sheng tightly, touched Xu Sheng's bald head secretly, and said with a smile: "Grow your hair earlier, don't you find it troublesome to use that wig all day?"

"Isn't it troublesome to tie your hair all day?" Xu Sheng put his arms around Huai Mingmo, sighed lightly, and said with a faint smile: "After this matter is over, let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to hide."

"Okay." Huai Mingmo persuaded with slightly cool lips on the smooth forehead, "Go to bed early and stop thinking about it."
