Who would have thought that behind the "Dafeng Territory Map", there are various interests hidden.
This is no longer as simple as a simple work...
Qi Yu sighed quietly: Sir, you are using yourself too!
But that's okay!
If you can be used, it means you have value. If you don't even have the value of being used, that would be the saddest thing.
From a human perspective, my husband once helped me, and now I have helped my husband. It is a beautiful thing that they complement each other.
Of course, he had never thought of the secret behind the scenes.
What is even more unimaginable is that the late emperor is actually his fan?
It's a pity that he died...
Otherwise, wouldn’t there be a great opportunity?
Thinking of this, both of them sighed in sadness.
Meng Jiming sighed: "Brother Fool is what he is today, all thanks to Brother Xian's wonderful writing skills in the past. Ming Ming will definitely keep this in mind."
Qi Yu didn't take it seriously and said, "Brother, it's serious. It's just a temporary graffiti, nothing to mention." Then, he changed the topic and said, "I heard from Governor Lu that sir, he followed me to the court. The fleet has gone overseas."
Meng Jiming sighed sadly when he heard this and said, "Yes, but the purpose of my father's voyages to the West is to avoid disaster!"
"Avoiding disaster? What disaster?"
"Forget it, you are my father's disciple, so it doesn't hurt to tell you these things."
Um?
Qi Yu suddenly felt that what he was about to touch was a little-known secret.
Yes, the next words proved my guess.
Meng Jiming sighed: "If the late emperor had not died, my father would have been a hero. But now that the late emperor has died, my father is suspected of being a corpse."
"I...don't quite understand..."
Meng Jiming said: "Listen to me... The year before last, my father suddenly went out of his way. He ignored the advice of his good friends and tried to cling to nobles, which later led to repeated impeachments by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When my grandfather passed away, my father invited Ding You, the late emperor. But there was not even a single attempt to win love, and it was done directly. On the surface, this matter seems to be caused by the late emperor being dissatisfied with my father, but in fact it is the late emperor who values my father very highly."
I'm confused, I'm confused, what's the logic of this?
Qi Yu felt like his mind was filled with question marks.
Meng Jiming continued: "Actually, the late emperor had long known that King Yongchuan had evil intentions, but he was so affectionate that he couldn't bear to touch him. So, he came up with a way to spy on him secretly. But, what kind of thing could he find? Who is a suitable minister? This person must first be wise, not panic when encountering major events, and be able to adapt. After such exclusion, the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not good first. They act too ostentatiously and are not suitable for surveillance. Even the ministers in the court can't do it. If they come, King Yongchuan will naturally be on guard."
"Well, that makes sense. Senior brother, please continue."
"The rest are the factory guards. However, they only know how to kill people, but they lack brains. They are not suitable for gambling!"
Qi Yu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if he had guessed something...
"So, my father volunteered himself and took the initiative to take on this important task, and the late emperor agreed. So, he pretended to be friends with powerful people, and the late emperor also showed a disgusting attitude. In this way, It created a confusing illusion. It happened that the time came to invite Ding You, and my father came to Yongchuan Mansion together. This was done without the knowledge of people or ghosts, and only the late emperor and his father were aware of it. The two of them finally understood."
"oh……"
Meng Jiming continued: "My father is an imperial doctor and never participates in government affairs, so he is not prominent. No one would have thought that he would be an informant planted by the late emperor, and naturally King Yongchuan would not be able to tell. ."
Qi Yu suddenly understood, and now he finally understood that the so-called invitation to Ding You was a duet performed by the monarch and his ministers, and there was only one real audience, and that was King Yongchuan.
Why does it feel like a spy game...
I still remember that before King Yongchuan's plan, someone had released the news that the blacksmith had disappeared and the horse leather was sold out. Looking at it now, it seems that it was done deliberately by Mr.
Qi Yu thought for a moment and then said: "Sir, it is clear that he has meritorious service, but why is there such a thing as a corpse minister?"
Meng Jiming smiled bitterly and said, "This is related to another matter."
"Brother, please speak."
"In the view of the late emperor, my father volunteered to lurk in Yongchuan Mansion as a way of sharing your worries. However, my father also had his own idea, that is, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to stay away from the capital to avoid possible murder in the future. "Meng Jiming said solemnly.
Qi Yu was startled and said: "The disaster of death...could it be that...someone wanted to kill Mr. Sir?"
"You guessed wrong. It wasn't that someone was plotting to kill my father, but someone was deliberately doing harm to the late Emperor!"
"ah……"
Qi Yu was shocked.
Then, Meng Jiming lowered his voice and whispered: "All the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital are now in prison. If my father had not been hiding in Yongchuan Mansion, he would have met the same fate."
"Oh...there is such a thing. I heard Mr. Lu say that it seems to involve a secret case."
"That's right! My father told me in private before his voyage to the West that the secret case at the Imperial Hospital was related to the death of the late emperor. The late emperor did not really die suddenly without any illness!"
What!
So...could it be that...the late emperor was killed?
In other words, someone had tampered with the medicine used by the Holy Spirit?
Qi Yu's scalp felt numb and his heart was beating wildly.
"Sir... he had already predicted that the late emperor would collapse?"
"Well... I've already seen the clues."
"But why didn't he report it directly to the late emperor? Wouldn't that be... a great achievement?"
"I don't know, maybe...it should be...if I report it, I will die!"
Think carefully!
If this is the case, there must be some great cause and effect and retribution behind this incident. Otherwise, my husband would never have stayed away from the matter and hid in Yongchuan beforehand.
What kind of retribution is this?
He didn't even have the courage to tell the emperor the truth!
The fog is heavy...
Although Qi Yu can't figure it out yet, he has already remembered it in his heart.
As for the new emperor, since he issued an order to arrest all the imperial doctors, it means that he has noticed something and wants to get to the bottom of it.
It can be seen that the emperor is very alert and very smart.
Perhaps the only thing he didn't expect was that Meng Lanshan's actions were faster than the development of the matter. Before the Dongchuang case happened, Mr. Meng found an opportunity to hide overseas, cleverly avoiding all suspicions in this case. .
But, can these be hidden from the wise eyes of today?
not necessarily!
You know, the noses of those factory guards are more sensitive than dogs.
As soon as something goes wrong, they will follow the clues.
Alas... Sir, you have your own difficulties too!
Perhaps, in the eyes of the current emperor, Meng Lanshan is just a corpse minister pursuing self-preservation and surviving.
Meng Jiming sighed: "Because of my father's influence, it will be difficult for me to get promoted in the future!"
Qi Yu had no choice but to persuade: "I say: Fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the presence of blessing. It is difficult to predict the misfortunes and blessings day and night, let alone the long life. Brother, don't worry too much about this."
Meng Jiming nodded and said, "Yes, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Seeing his sadness, Qi Yu deliberately changed the subject and said, "Brother, are you coming to Yongchuan Mansion for business, or do you have private matters to deal with?"
Meng Jiming suddenly woke up and said, "If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. The purpose of my visit this time is to remind you of something."
"What's up?"
"This matter is related to your personal safety!"
My safety?
sweat!
Qi Yu was horrified and asked quickly: "Brother, please tell me!"
"It is said that before King Yongchuan died, he pulled something off the body of the person who killed him, and this thing is related to you." Meng Jiming lowered his voice.
That’s not right!
There's something wrong with that!
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "What my brother said is wrong. According to the imperial edict, King Yongchuan died because he 'accidentally fell off his horse'. The emperor had already sealed the coffin. This is also what the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites said during the funeral. , how do you say he killed it?"
Meng Jiming said: "This news does exist, and it was spread by Princess Yongchuan!"
