Poor monks do not break the precepts

The sudden sudden death of the evil concubine, Meng Di was greatly shocked, but the whole court seemed to be cheered up. Naturally, everyone was just happy in their hearts. Meng Di wanted to surpass the ancestral system to bury Concubine Wan. No one in the court came out to object.

It's just that kings have always been ruthless since ancient times. Less than two months after Concubine Wan's death, two favored concubines popped up in the palace.Hunting in winter is a tradition in Northern Meng after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Emperor Meng took the two sisters on a trip.

The place for winter hunting is in the outskirts of Beijing, and this area is guarded by the imperial guards all year round.

Emperor Meng was born in the army and was particularly keen on winter hunting. Except for two years of snow disasters, he would hold this grand ceremony when there was no disaster.The crown prince is not good at hunting, but Meng Guangheng is a master. His riding and archery skills are the best among the princes, and his temperament is seven or eight points similar to that of Emperor Meng. This is why Emperor Meng likes this son so much.

This year, the paddock seems a bit deserted. Compared with the Tian family, the other officials' children seem to be more active, because the winter hunting is another opportunity for the military officer to make his debut. An Guohou is so successful because of his hundred steps and arrows, and General Cen is also a good player.

The attack on the festival at the beginning of the year is vivid in my mind, and since then Emperor Meng has been extremely guarded when traveling, but it is just like this, something happened to Winter Hunting.

Emperor Meng was riding a horse-drawn bow and was about to shoot a deer running in the forest, but suddenly a cold arrow shot out from the forest and flew straight towards Emperor Meng's heart.

"Father, be careful!" Meng Yinghuan galloped to rescue him without thinking, and even rushed to save him.

Seeing that the arrow was about to stab Emperor Meng, he suddenly sent an arrow flying towards him, opened the cold arrow, and at the same time, Meng Qingrun's voice came, "Is your father alright?"

Meng Yinghuan didn't calculate the distance when he jumped out, and he fell to the ground and was almost trampled by hoofs. He only felt a huge pain all over his body, and he passed out.

"Escort! Quickly escort!"

The paddock suddenly became chaotic, some surrounded Emperor Meng to escort him, some carried Meng Yinghuan up and ran to the big tent, but they never found out where the cold arrow came from.It's just that this arrow came quickly and had a clear purpose. Everyone knew that it was heading towards Emperor Meng.

When Emperor Meng returned to his tent, he was so angry that his hand holding the bow kept shaking. Suddenly he threw the big bow to his side and looked at his sons with vigilance and suspicion.The fourth prince was still inside for first aid, while the other princes knelt down in shock, not daring to say anything. Everyone looked down at each other from the corner of their eyes, suspicious of each other.

The groans and groans behind the screen were heart-wrenching. Emperor Meng walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and knocked over the study room full of tables with a wave of his hand, "They are all good sons of mine."

"Father, calm down." Apart from these words, everything else is wrong now.

About half an hour later, the imperial court judge behind the screen hurried out of the kneeling ground, the warm blood on his hands slipped and sank into the soft blanket.

Emperor Meng said coldly, "How is Huan'er's injury?"

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince is seriously injured. Although his life was saved, his right leg may not be able to recover." The court judge tried to restrain the fear in his heart, but those hands betrayed him.

Hearing the news, Emperor Meng glanced at his sons viciously, but under those icy eyes, there was an imperceptible sense of relief.In fact, Wanxin's death was just caused by some rumors that Mrs. Zhen did it. He didn't ask anyone to investigate at all, but just took the opportunity to suppress this son who has been gaining momentum recently.

Since Meng Yinghuan was reprimanded by Emperor Meng, he has indeed restrained a lot, but the power he has managed for many years has not diminished, and Emperor Meng has seen it all.The current Emperor Meng is still in his prime, he is not yet old, Meng Yinghuan is already like this, so in a few years, will he be forced into the palace.

So Emperor Meng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Meng Yinghuan was disabled, because a disabled prince couldn't compete for the heir.

"You all go down." Waiting for the sons to retreat, Emperor Meng said in a cold voice: "Zhang Yuan sentenced, I have handed over the fourth prince. If there is anything wrong with the fourth prince, I will ask you."

"The minister obeys the order."

When Emperor Meng returned to his big tent, the hidden guards had already knelt inside for a long time. Emperor Meng strode into the tent with his hands behind his back, and when he saw someone, he immediately waved his hands and ordered them to get up.

These hidden guards all came out of the hidden mansion, and they have been with Emperor Meng for decades, and they are Emperor Meng's most trusted confidantes.

The head of the dark guard stepped forward holding the cold arrow, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have checked. These arrows seem to be from the same batch as the arrows in the ceremony."

"You mean, the person who pretended to assassinate me and took the opportunity to eradicate the prince wasn't Meng Guangheng?" Those eyes that had gradually clouded revealed a chilling coldness, "You mean that person is the one who rushed to me. coming?"

"My Majesty, my subordinates dare not say anything."

"Go and investigate, let me investigate carefully, who is trying to harm me!" Emperor Meng couldn't let go, and coughed several times.

……

It was already midnight when the news reached Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng carefully read Mr. Gong's news, pondered for a long time, his brows were furrowed, and after a while he asked Chen Xiang to invite someone.

Taking advantage of this gap, Huai Mingmo asked doubtfully, "You... sent someone?"

Xu Sheng shook his head and immediately denied, "It's not me, I have nothing to do with people killing Emperor Meng, I won't do things that harm others and benefit myself."

Huai Mingmo naturally believed Xu Sheng's words. After all, he had never lied to him about Xu Sheng's actions since they got along. Moreover, just as Xu Sheng said, the third prince was still a prince. If Emperor Meng died now, he would have nothing to do with the third prince. benefit.

Mr. Ji and Ji Sushan, who rushed over after hearing the news, also thought it was the work of the Xusheng faction.

After listening to Xu Sheng's words, Ji Sushan fell into deep thought for a long time, "It has nothing to do with you, could it be that Meng Yinghuan acted in a play?"

"Second Uncle, the letter said that Meng Yinghuan was also seriously injured and almost lost his life." Huai Mingmo intertwined his fingers and pressed his lips to his lips, and murmured in a low voice: "Just now there is news from Jia Banxian, I heard that the one that attacked the emperor The arrows are the same batch used by the people who assassinated the emperor in Ji Ceremony. But wasn’t Meng Guangheng responsible for that incident?”

Talking in the middle of the night, everyone was not energetic enough. Mr. Ji ordered the boy to boil water when he came, took the copper pot sent by the boy, and made a cup of refreshment tea for everyone in the room. Did someone pretend to be Meng Guangheng?"

Holding the tea in his hand, Xu Sheng saw the tea leaves floating on the water, thinking about the rough tea making technique, he really couldn't make a mouthful, so he quietly put down the teacup while no one was paying attention.

He thought that no one would notice him, but in fact Mr. Ji had noticed him a long time ago. Mr. Ji had drunk Xu Sheng's tea a few times, and knew that his rough tea making skills would not be able to get into Xu Sheng's mouth, so he said with a smile: "You are Sincerely."

Embarrassed, Xu Sheng scratched his head and grinned, and quickly put aside the words: "If someone pretends to be Meng Guangheng for a false assassination, and then pushes it to Meng Guangheng afterwards, then this person must be Meng Yinghuan. Only this time, I can't figure out his intention."

Ji Sushan didn't dislike him. He took a sip of hot tea and wiped his face with a wet handkerchief, "It's not difficult to guess that he rushed to save Emperor Meng with an obvious purpose, that is, to put himself in danger and act like Emperor Meng." Come on. Didn’t he get injured to save his father? Or he was seriously injured, so Emperor Meng will definitely not suspect him if he sacrificed his life to save him. On the contrary, the other princes immediately became the objects of Emperor Meng’s suspicion and fear.”

Such an explanation does make sense, but there is one point that Xu Sheng has never figured out.

Huai Mingmo also had the same doubts. He didn't hear Xu Sheng's suggestion, so he rushed forward and said: "But this time he has a broken leg. Since ancient times, I have never heard of any emperor who has become ill."

Mr. Ji speculated wildly: "Maybe he didn't expect that he would fall off the horse. After all, it is very dangerous to save people on a galloping horse without any martial arts foundation."

The possibility is slim, but apart from this explanation, there is really no other better explanation.It's just that the more he thinks about it, Xu Sheng really has no idea. Since he came to the capital, he feels more and more suspicious. There are always many things on his mind, he can't figure it out, he can't understand it.

Xu Sheng was suddenly lost in thought, and in the eyes of others, he seemed to be in a daze due to lack of energy.Ji Sushan vaguely heard the sound of clappers sounding at the fourth watch outside the house. Looking around, the clothes of the two young people seemed to be not neatly arranged. He could vaguely see that the belts of the two young men's inner clothes were loose, which were obviously tied in a hurry.

"Hey, what are you dragging me to do?" Mr. Ji was lifted up vigorously, which was really inexplicable.

Ji Sushan looked at Mr. Ji, deeply felt that the second sister had no eyesight, and the explanation was too detailed to make people feel embarrassed, so he simply dragged people away without explaining, and after going out, he was very careful to help the people in the house close the door tightly.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Sheng didn't notice the situation around him at all. When he came back to his senses, he saw that only Huai Mingmo was drinking tea indifferently, and the others had disappeared. He asked in confusion, "Where are they?"

Huai Mingmo didn't explain, stretched out his hand to touch Xu Sheng's waist, rolled his fingers around the belt of his underwear, pursed his lips and chuckled, "Be more careful in the future."

Xu Sheng lowered his head to look at it, his blood immediately rushed to the top, coughed twice shyly, and complained in a low voice: "Why didn't you remind me, deliberately embarrassing me."

Huai Mingmo yelled for injustice, "I couldn't see it, I just heard the second uncle's snort, so I guessed it randomly."

The credibility of these words was too low, Xu Sheng didn't bother to talk to him, so he called Chen Xiang who was eavesdropping in the corner, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote two letters, and handed them to Chen Xiang.One of the letters to Qin'e, Chen Xiang also understood the false business intentions, but she was confused when given the letter from King Xi, after all, in Beimeng's struggle for the heir apparent, she really couldn't figure out what King Dingxi could do to help.

Xu Sheng washed his pen, gave Chen Xiang a pill, and said in a long-winded manner: "I tell Qin E, don't delay, leave the capital immediately. From now on, the heavens and the earth will let her go."

"Yes." Chen Xiang carefully hid the two letters, before leaving, he still wanted to clear up his doubts and said, "Then King Dingxi..."

"Old brother will know when he receives the letter." Xu Sheng snorted, touched the edge of the table in silence for a long time, sighed, but still tantalizing, "You must deliver this letter yourself, no matter what. into his hand."

"What are you worried about?"

Xu Sheng walked to the side of the couch as if he had never heard of it, folded his clothes and lay down, said lightly: "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Meng Yinghuan was seriously injured, but he survived in the end. Four days later, he insisted on walking on the ground, leaning on crutches and walking up and down.No one with a discerning eye can see his plan. Although Meng Qingrun saved Emperor Meng's life, his act of risking his life to save his father really allowed him to regain his sacred heart.

On the surface, Emperor Meng seemed to be very moved, and he specially allowed Meng Yinghuan to sit in court until his legs healed. Such special treatment envied many princes.Only Meng Qingrun acted as if he hadn't seen him, and he was still indifferent, and he was still the same to all the brothers, not showing the mountains or showing the water.

In the past, under Meng Guangheng's glory, the other sons were not conspicuous, but now without the dazzling sun, Meng Qingrun, who is like a bright moon, stands out more and more.

It's just that the praise hasn't started yet, and there are many rumors among the people. First, there was a drama about a concubine leaving the palace for the prince, and then there was a drama about the prince seizing the heir to frame his brother.Soon this rumor gradually spread into the palace. Not long after Xushi, the Ji residence was suddenly surrounded. Meng Yinghuan limped into the courtyard. It's hard for a fly to fly.
