Startled Meng

Yu Fangzhi was haunted by nightmares, and strange yet familiar calls sounded in his ears from time to time.

mirror element!mirror element...

In the dream, Yu Fangzhi had faded back to the carefree young master of the Meng Mansion 15 years ago. He looked up at the dusty gray sky blankly with his fleshy face up, trying to find the source of the call.

"master……"

It was his mother's voice, and Meng Jingyuan turned his head abruptly, staring at the ever-changing dark clouds behind him, turning it into a small courtyard in the old days, with a familiar figure nestled inside the door.

Meng Jingyuan covered his mouth to cover up a giggle, and squatted down under the door.

"The master is not ashamed, why are you angry with your own children?"

"Ma'am! The child was spoiled by you, and you are so used to it. If you dare to let Jingping do homework for him now, what else can you not do in the future?"

"Master, I have seen Jingyuan's homework, and I am surprised that the kid did a good job."

"lady!"

Meng Jingyuan was afraid of his father, so he hid by the door and shook twice, and when his mother mentioned Yan Jingping again, he put his ear closer to the crack of the door.

"Madam's plan, my husband has already considered it. Jingping's child is indeed a bit talented. Being a companion with Jingyuan will bury him, so I followed Madam and picked a day to recognize Jingping as righteousness." Son."

What happened to the rest, Meng Jingyuan didn't listen, he ran out of the yard with his calves, and flung himself into Yan Jingping's arms to have fun.

"Jingyuan! Where have you been? I have something to tell you!"

Meng Jingyuan held Yan Jingping's hand, jumped up and down, and said, "Jingping! I have something great to tell you! Listen to me first!"

He was about to say the good thing he just heard when he heard his father calling him, yelling, he must be punished for his homework, Meng Jingyuan was afraid, took Yan Jingping's hand and ran into the lobby, hiding in the In the wooden cabinet facing the entrance of the lobby.

"Mirror element—"

"Hush——" Meng Jingyuan hugged Yan Jingping excitedly, and whispered in his ear, "My father wants to recognize you as his adopted son! From now on, you will be by my side forever!"

Sensing Yan Jingping holding his hand excitedly, Meng Jingyuan quickly covered his mouth and let him listen to the movement outside the cabinet.

"Where is Meng Xiao?"

"The rebellious minister accepts the order!"

Meng Jingyuan was ignorant, he didn't know what rebels meant, he only knew that a lot of people broke into the hall suddenly, he was too scared to come out, and hid in the closet next to Yan Jingping.

Smelling a little sweet smell in the darkness, Meng Jingyuan remembered the half piece of shortbread hidden in his sleeve, carefully took it out, and touched Yan Jingping's sleeve with one hand, touched his soft lips, giggled, and put Half a piece of shortbread was brought to Yan Jingping's mouth.

Yan Jingping declined: "You eat."

"It's specially reserved for you!" The noise outside the hall just covered Meng Jingyuan's exclamation, "Try it, is it delicious?"

After hearing the vague "delicious", Meng Jingyuan licked the cake crumbs on his finger and said with a smile, "I'll keep it for you next time!"

"Treason? I, Meng Xiao, walk upright and sit upright. It is absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing of cooperating with the enemy and treason! What does Wei Shangshu mean by this?"

Hearing his father's voice, Meng Jingyuan panicked, and asked in a low voice: "Jingping...what's wrong with father?" Yan Jingping covered his mouth after he finished speaking.

He listened uneasily to the commotion outside the hall, he didn't understand what shoot to kill and beheaded on the spot meant, and he pushed open the cabinet door when he heard his mother's cry.

"Master!" The old butler was standing by the cabinet, and when he saw Meng Jingyuan appearing, he immediately closed the cabinet door, and said in a panic, "Master, don't come out!"

"what are you doing!"

"No, nothing!"

The old butler stood against the door of the cabinet, turned around and waved his hand at the guards holding the sword. The next moment, the sword passed through his chest and stuck into the cabinet close to the gap in the door.

In the darkness, Meng Jingyuan's exclamation and crying were covered by Yan Jingping's hand. Water was dripping on his forehead. When he looked up, the sword inserted into the cabinet was covered with blood.

"mother……"

Meng Jingyuan vaguely guessed that his mother was gone, so he bit Yan Jingping so hard that Meng Jingyuan pushed open the cabinet door and rushed out after he withdrew his hand.

As soon as he emerged, he saw Meng Xiao lying in a pool of blood with a long sword stuck in his chest.

Meng Jingyuan burst into a scream that didn't look like a child: "Father—"

Before he could run out, the guards staying in the hall brandished their long swords and stabbed at him, the blood spattered on Yan Jingping's face in the cabinet, blinding his eyes.

Meng Jingyuan, who was hugged by Duan Chengkong on his shoulders, was speechless. He watched helplessly as the imperial guards who swung knives at him fell in front of the cabinet and sealed the cabinet door again.

Lying on Duan Chengkong's shoulder, he covered his mouth and wept softly as he looked at the imperial guards rushing towards him, and at the bloody father and mother in the yard.

"Jingyuan has no father, nor mother..."

"Master Duan, Jingyuan has no parents..."

He and Duan Chengkong hid in the tree, couldn't stop crying, looked with swollen eyes, unwilling to give up, before Duan Chengkong's big hand covered his eyes, he saw the black smoke rising from the Meng Mansion and firelight.

Meng Jingyuan in the dream couldn't make a sound, and Yu Fangzhi outside the dream was tearing from the corners of his eyes, which could not be wiped away by the soldiers accompanying him. He grabbed the drenched handkerchief and looked up at the silent yard.

Today's commotion should all be in the court.

Wei Cheng didn't expect the counterattack to come so quickly.

Yang Xun taught him that Yan Cijing's disappearance and all the casualties of Shisanpo should be counted on the missing Meng Jingyuan, but he did not expect that Yan Cijing would suddenly appear with injuries and kneel in front of the emperor.

Yan Cijing's forehead was still wrapped in white gauze, his eyes were as red as blood, and a cold and dim light burst out from them, resembling his precarious and thin figure, but he tried his best to salute and kowtow, making people guess that he had already knelt down He broke his knee and knocked his head.

He doesn't care what others think of him, whether he is a ghost who came back from hell to take revenge, or he has nowhere to go to sue, it doesn't matter, he has endured and hated him for 15 years, and he should get it back bit by bit.

He bent down deeply, with his head resting on the floor tiles, gasping for breath, the overwhelming hatred made him tremble slightly:

"I want to sue Wei Cheng for falsely preaching the imperial decree, framing Zhongliang, and Tu Mengxiao's entire family." He couldn't sit down on his knees, his moist eyes were hidden under his wide red sleeves, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing that he was speechless for a while, Yang Xun yelled out "One faction is speechless", and was drowned by the spittle of the officials.

Xue Rulie, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Zheng Lang, who died in a scientific research case last year, did not hang himself. He imitated Meng Xiao's handwriting with his first-hand copying skills, forged letters of communication with the enemy, and framed Meng Xiao under Wei Cheng's instruction. Many years later, Wei Cheng I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I silenced Zheng Lang."

Liu Pei, the chief of the palace, took the lead in presenting a letter from General Lu Cheng, in which it was strictly stated that the late emperor would interrogate Meng Xiao in person, not shoot-to-kill, but pointed out that Wei Cheng sent people over the front of the palace in an attempt to cover up his intention to silence him.

Fu Chun sent a list of 110 imperial guards, and said that the place where the imperial guards were exterminated after Wei Cheng's success was under Cangshan Mountain.

The young general from Jiangling also submitted the guard general He Qian's autograph letter and order to dispatch troops, proving that when Wei Cheng was the minister of the Ministry of War, the time for sending the tiger amulet was different. The farthest Jiangling arrived at the northern border first, Liangzhou, Yizhou and Jingzhou. The state is closer to the northern border, but arrived one step later, which shows that Wei Cheng is not sincerely protecting the country.

Yan Cijing said bitterly: "15 years ago, I was taken in by Mr. Meng and worked in the Meng Mansion. I saw Wei Cheng leading the forbidden army to break into the Meng Mansion. He forced Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng to hang themselves, and then set fire to cover up the crime. Room."

"Meng Xiao's collusion with the enemy is ultimately Wei Cheng's fault, please investigate thoroughly!"

The letter of communication with the enemy was forged, the imperial decree was falsely transmitted, the deployment of personal soldiers, and the obliteration of insiders were all planned by Wei Cheng from beginning to end.Letters that were like evidence were presented to the imperial court, and they were confirmed, yet Wei Cheng could still distinguish them!

"Zheng Lang is dead, you have bad intentions to frame him! The late emperor ordered his ministers to arrest the criminals, and the criminals declared their ambitions with death, so why did they have nothing to do with others? The messenger who dispatched the tiger talisman was delayed for a day or two on the way. I don't know if it will be soon, as for the corpses of the imperial guards, it has nothing to do with the ministers, please learn from the emperor."

"It really has nothing to do with you?" Hanlin University scholar Su Hongzhang pointed at Wei Cheng, weeping, "Tell me! You tell me on behalf of the queen mother! Concubine Yun fell into the well and died on the eve of Meng Xiao's accident. It really has nothing to do with Meng Xiao's old case! It has nothing to do with you, Wei Cheng!"

Yang Xun saw the needle, and sternly said: "There is no excuse for the crime! Why should Wei Xiang be blamed for Concubine Yun's death!"

Before Yang Xun could finish speaking, a questioning voice sounded from outside the hall: "Concubine Yun's death cannot be blamed on Prime Minister Wei, Crown Prince Na Yin died early, and Wei Chengwan's death cannot be absolved of the blame!"

Everyone looked out of the hall, Yan Cijing followed, and seeing Xia Changying standing against the light, he couldn't hold back his tears.

Outside the hall, the guarding imperial army was stopped by the commander Xie Xuan. If he did not stop, the imperial army would not dare to drag Xia Changying away. Xia Changying was brought in by the national teacher, who would dare to stop the national teacher.

Xia Changying, clothed in straw sandals, knelt outside the hall and pleaded guilty: "The grass-roots people know that breaking into the palace deserves death, let the emperor listen to the grass-folks."

With the emperor's promise, Xia Changying entered the palace generously, knelt down beside Yan Cijing, ignored Yang Xun's reprimand, and said: "The prince left the palace to rescue Meng lord on the day of the accident, but he was too late to save Meng. My lord, at that time Wei Cheng ordered his life to stun the crown prince, and after the incident, Wei Cheng cut the weeds and exterminated the prince, secretly instructing the imperial medical office to poison the crown prince!"

After hearing this, Wei Cheng sneered, raised his hand and pointed at each of them: "You, you, it's all right to slander the truth and kill the traitor, why should the deaths of Concubine Yun and the crown prince be counted on the truth? alright?"

Then he knelt with his backhand and knelt in front of the emperor: "I am willing to die to show my will!"

Everyone lowered their heads and turned towards the emperor, waiting for the emperor's attitude.

Yu Xian was startled by this scene, climbed on the armrest and shrank into the dragon chair, shrunk his head and hid in the dragon robe, feeling terrible, Yan Cijing was terrible, Fu Chun was terrible, and the messengers were terrible.They pointed at Wei Cheng and scolded him, Yu Xian felt pain on his face, and suspected that they were scolding him.

"Wei Xiang..."

Yu Xian stared blankly at Wei Cheng, the only one in the hall who dared to look at him—his uncle, Yu Xian seemed to have his tongue tied, and what he said did not come from the heart. Xiang Wei sent back to the mansion to wait for the truth to be found out!"

"emperor!"

"emperor……"

Xia Changying was not reconciled, and was held back by Yan Cijing. Fu Chun blushed, Su Hongzhang rolled his eyes and fell down. There were many discussions in the court, with dissatisfaction and surprise. Standing behind Wei Cheng.

In the end, Wei Cheng took off his court clothes by himself and let the imperial guards tie him up in plain clothes, as if he was really innocent and not afraid of investigation.

"emperor!"

Bi Zhixing, who had been silent all this time, came out, holding a brocade box, in which the black pills drawn with gold threads shone strangely.

"I have evidence to prove that Wei Cheng colluded with foreign countries, collaborating with the enemy and treason!"
