It is said that after Meng Sunheji received Fan Yang's order and went to the palace to meet the monarch's wife and a group of ladies, on the way back to the post house, he couldn't help but get angrier and aggrieved the more he thought about it.
For him, this matter was truly a great shame and humiliation! It's okay for Fan Yang to humiliate him like this, but Yang Hu is also from Lu and is the person in charge of the Lu country, but he actually doesn't care about such a thing! Not even a word was said for him! This couldn't help but make him angry.
In addition, when he was in the Lu State, it was well known to everyone that Yang Hu wanted to replace him. So, Meng Sunhe Ji took advantage of the drunkenness and came to the door of Fan Mansion. He did not ask to see him, but just shouted outside the gate:
"If Yang Hu cannot settle down in the Lu State and comes to the Jin State, and if the Jin State does not allow him to be a commander of the central army, he will be punished by God! I have the ancestors as proof!"
Fan Yang's current position in the Jin State is that of a general in the army, and he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Jin State.
And when Meng Sunheji said this, he was actually disgusting Fan Yang: Don't you like Yang Hu? Aren't you going to collude with him? Okay! Then let Yang Hu join the Jin army as a Sima from now on!
Obviously, while Meng Sunheji was venting his anger towards Fan Yang, he also expressed his dissatisfaction towards Yang Hu.
"Yang Hu is very loyal to the Jin State! You, the Jin State, must not let down Yang Hu's hard work in the future!"
"I, Meng Sunheji, am looking forward to this very closely!"
Meng Sunheji's voice was so loud that Fan Yang could hear it clearly in the house. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he was overjoyed!
Yes, his goal has been achieved.
And he deliberately ignored Meng Sunheji's shouts. When Meng Sunheji had finished shouting, he slowly walked out and greeted him with a smile as before:
"Haha, I ask Dr. Meng Sun to calm down, but I don't know why you are shouting so loudly? The appointment of officials in our Jin country is decided by the prince. How can Martingale know who he will appoint? Mr. Meng Sun is shouting like this. What does it mean?"
When Meng Sunheji saw Fan Yang coming out, he was also very angry and said immediately:
"Yang Hu obeyed the advice of the Jin State, attacked the Zheng State, offended the Wei State, and now he has sacrificed prisoners of the Zheng State for your Jin State. With all these things, Yang Hu doesn't seem to be a Lu person, isn't it more like the Jin State? Your Majesty?!"
"He is from the Meng family and is a retainer of the Ji family. I have to say that Doctor Fan is really eclectic in employing people! It's admirable! I admire him!"
Faced with Meng Sun He Ji's strange sarcasm, Fan Yang was not angry. Instead, he sneered at him:
"Haha, when it comes to employing people, your Lu country is truly eclectic! He is a retainer, but he can call the shots in your country. Isn't this a shame for the Lu country? In my opinion, you and other three Huan are worse than You just surrendered as soon as possible to achieve your ambition! Why bother blaming others here?"
Fan Yang was indeed a cunning man. He was obviously speaking for Yang Hu, but in fact he was just causing trouble.
After hearing this, Meng Sunheji couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists. But regarding this matter, he can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Meng Sunheji returned to the posthouse gloomily. However, the news that he was causing trouble in Fan Mansion spread quickly in Jiangcheng.
Zhao Yang naturally learned about this.
Regarding Yang Hu's offering of prisoners, Fan Yang actually excluded Zhao Yang from the incident and did not let him interfere with the matter.
The conflict between the Fan family and the Zhao family has been around for a long time.
As each of their two families was pushed into the position of the Chinese Army, the conflicts between the two camps in eastern Shanxi and western Shanxi inevitably increased day by day.
However, after all, the six ministers were constraining each other, and they also had to work together to maintain the dignity of the Jin Dynasty's office, so no one wanted to be the first to jump out and take the lead.
After Zhao Yang learned about Meng Sunheji's riot in Fan Mansion, he also listened to Dong Anyu's words the next day and led his ministers to Fan Mansion to ask what happened last night.
Fan Yang also knew that other officials would definitely not ignore this matter, so he had already thought of his response.
Facing the crowd led by Zhao Yang, Fan Yang grinned and said:
"Haha, Zhifu doesn't know something! The whole Lu Kingdom is extremely dissatisfied with Yang Hu, so they came to my house yesterday to cause trouble and asked me to come forward and beat Yang Hu."
"Just because Yanghu overran his master and maliciously suppressed the Three Huans in the country, Meng Sunheji couldn't bear the provocation, so he said evil words, saying that Yanghu would come to surrender to our Jin Kingdom in the future, and also said that our Jin Kingdom would need to be granted a title in the future. Yang Hu is the Sima of the Central Army! Haha, these are just temporary angry words, nonsense, and they are not enough to be said, they are not enough to say!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Fan Yang with wide eyes:
"My lord, didn't everything Yang Hu did follow your lord's instructions?"
Fan Yang couldn't help but be stunned, but immediately pretended to be worried, and said coquettishly:
"Oh, yes! It is precisely because of this that I am worried about Yang Hu's actions!"
Zhao Yang said nothing on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart:
"This old guy is pretending to be a good guy here now? You asked him to send this prisoner, and you asked him to send some lady coins to Meng Sun Heji. Now he is talking as if he has become a harmless person! Is it true that everyone in the world can’t understand? What on earth is this old guy doing?"
However, Zhao Yang did not come here to raise an army to investigate. After all, there was no need for him to have a head-on conflict with Fan Yang over the Yang Hu incident.
So, he only replied:
"I see, then let them be! If there is nothing else, then we can feel at ease."
After Zhao Yang led everyone to say goodbye, he returned to his mansion. Dong An stepped forward to greet the door, and the two of them returned to the back room tacitly. After Zhao Yang confirmed that there was no one around, he said:
"I don't know what the old guy Fan Yang is planning to do, let Yang Hu do things, and then instigate the relationship between San Huan and Yang Hu. Is it just to disrupt the Lu country? But what's the benefit to him? ?”
Dong Anyu smiled slightly when he heard this, held a feather fan in his hand, shook his head and said:
"The State of Lu itself is not important. Fan Yang's move may have a deeper meaning behind it. It's just that we still don't know it today."
Zhao Yang could not help but be silent for a while, and then said:
"Mr. Ziming is said to be living in the State of Lu now. I wonder how he would feel about this? Alas... It's a pity that Mr. Ziming is unwilling to come to the State of Jin to help me. Otherwise, how could our State of Jin have fallen into such a state? ?”
"I think about how majestic and powerful my grandfather was when he presided over the Jin Kingdom, united the nine princes and then formed an alliance to eliminate the army?! Now that it has been handed down to me, it is still unable to maintain its foundation, and it is even more restricted by that old man Fan Yang. It’s really hateful!”
I saw Zhao Yang holding one hand tightly and punching several cases.
Dong Anyu, after shaking his feather fan a few times, thought for a while and then said:
"Speaking of it... this Yang Hu can be regarded as having the help of Mr. Ziming. However, what he is doing now is probably completely different from Mr. Ziming's original intention."
"Please wait for a while, my lord. If Mr. Ziming gains power in the Lu State, my Zhao family will also be able to get a lot of help. If he is not used by the Lu State, then it will be too late for my lord to ask him to help me." Night!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said with regret:
Hey... I hope so! "
"Speaking of Mr. Ziming, I heard that his wife died of illness a few days ago, but I don't know the specific circumstances? It is said that Mr. Ziming was a man of great loyalty. He never married a concubine in his life, which shows his integrity!"
"By the way... I haven't heard of Mr. Ziming's name for a long time now. Could it be... just because my wife passed away, Mr. Gu, that he would no longer be involved in worldly affairs?"
Dong An was also shocked when he heard this. The feather fan in his hand couldn't help but stop:
"Well... I think it shouldn't happen. Mr. Ziming is a man who understands righteousness, and he knows what the priorities are. But... just in case, I'd better go and find out somewhere else. !”
