Chapter 59 Battle

Taishi Mansion.

Meng Sixiu sat lazily on the chair, kneeling opposite several officials.

"So, this man named Lu Zheng really defeated the prince of Fanbang?" Meng Sixi asked casually.

"It's true!" An official hurriedly said, "For this man's achievements in suppressing bandits before, His Majesty also rewarded him with 10,000 mu of fertile land and thousands of gold."

"Before he competed with Sillondo that day, he had an appointment with His Majesty. If he can win, he will no longer ask for His Majesty's reward. I only ask His Majesty to acquit the Zhao family!"

"Hmm!" Meng Taishi suddenly stood up, paced back and forth, and said angrily, "Where did this man come from?" After I passed the exam, I was able to do Taoism, and I was able to do good things one after another!"

At this time, Jin Canyang came out of the back hall and whispered to Master Meng, "This man is the murderer who killed my brother in Black Dragon Town! I guess that the sudden disappearance of Meng Boguang's nephew is also related to this person!"

Meng Sixi's hands turned white and said in a hateful voice, "Lu Zheng can never let him live in the world again! I ordered someone to check his details. Who else is in the family? Let's get rid of him!" The officials kneeling in the ground responded repeatedly.

Jin Canyang smiled gloomyly and said, "The master only inquired about his home, and I will take care of the things below."

Meng Taishi waved his hand and shouted back several officials. He said, "I don't go to the early morning these days to see the emperor's children make a fool of themselves. When he has nothing to do, I will let you go out against Silondo and earn face for me.

"I don't want Lu Zheng to be born, which is bad for me! Lu Zheng is found to have a close relationship with Captain Tong's daughter. Humph, this year was originally the year of the draft girl. The noble concubine has blown the pillow wind and let the emperor down. She ordered Tong Anbang to send his daughter to the palace to participate in the audition girl, which is also a little out of my anger!"

"Captain Gao Ming!" Jin Canyang smiled flatteringly and said, "It's really gratifying to let him watch his heart be selected into the harem and be ruined by the emperor's child!" After saying that, the two laughed together.

The next morning. Captain Tong came to the court early, but saw that Master Meng had arrived earlier.

"Master, you came so early today. Have you recovered from your illness?" Captain Tong asked.

"Not bad!" Meng Taishi smiled and said, "I heard that Lu Zheng in your lieutenant's mansion defeated Silondo, and I suddenly got rid of all my diseases, so I rushed to congratulate you impatiently in the early morning today."

Then, Master Meng came to Captain Tong and whispered, "I heard that the captain's daughter will also be summoned to the palace to participate in the draft girl. It's really congratulation! With the appearance and character of the daughter, it is unknown that he will be a mother every day. The captain is really blessed!"

Captain Tong smiled faintly and said, "The master praised it! Three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem thought that this year's draft should be cancelled. I remember that this matter has been settled earlier. I don't know why your majesty wants to select the show girl again. Does the original master know?

Master Meng was stunned by the question, and then laughed and said, "Captain Tong's words are bad. I think I'm not the worm in your majesty's stomach. How can I know what he is thinking?"

At this time, the ministers and workers in the early morning came one after another, and Meng and Tong were busy greeting the officials. Wei Dingbian, the national teacher, quietly walked to Tong Anbang's side and communicated with each other with his eyes, so he nodded gently and stood aside.

"Your Majesty is here!" The sissy of the little yellow door came from outside the palace gate. The ministers hurriedly dressed up solemnly. When the emperor sat on the dragon chair, they knelt down to salute one after another and shouted, "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The old eunuch beside the emperor said loudly, "If you have something to do, play early and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

Captain Tong stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor nodded feebly and said, "Children's love to chat, please speak."

"Your Majesty, when Lu Zheng was competing with the prince of Fanbang, he had an appointment with your majesty. If you can win, I beg your majesty to acquit the people of the Zhao family. Your Majesty, please order the Ministry of Criminal Justice to release people as soon as possible.

Meng Taishi listened and suddenly walked up to the prelude and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhao family's plot against the royal Juyan Mountain has violated my criminal law and should be executed according to the law!"

Captain Tong glared at Master Meng and said, "Master Meng's words are not appropriate. Is it possible that your majesty can take back his order and live up on his words?"

At the same time, several officials flashed and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Zheng made an agreement with you that day, and then competed with Silon. This matter is suspected of having skills. Your Majesty is the supreme of the 95th, and how can he be threatened by others? I think that not only should the Zhao family be released, but they should be convicted of bullying him.

Another official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if Lu Zheng does not come forward and defeat Sillondo, I'm afraid that the majesty of our dynasty will sweep the ground. Not only will he be convicted of merit, but he will be convicted, which is really chilling. If so, may I ask who else would like to serve the court in the future!"

Wei Dingbian also nodded and said, "That's right! There are some monks in this dynasty, but they don't want them to contribute to the court. If you talk about it, you should also be punished for the crime of bullying the king!"

As soon as this statement was made, all the officials knew who Wei Dingbian's words were referring to, and they looked sideways at Meng Taishi.

When Master Meng saw that the national teacher, who had always been kind to people, also pointed to himself, he couldn't help but say angrily, "I didn't go to court for a few days because of illness, but I didn't know that the national teacher had also become a eloquent." After saying that, he sneered a few times.

The emperor was in a dilemma for a while. He was quite afraid of the faction led by Meng Taishi, but the faction led by Lieutenant Tong and Wei Dingbian was the backer of the country and could not lose his trust in it. I couldn't help frowning and couldn't make up my mind.

Master Meng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed later. I know that your majesty has ordered the world to select women, which is a major event related to the heirs. The daughters of any officials above the fifth grade in the capital must be reported to the court for the record. Speaking of this matter, I can be said to be a model for you. The little girl is now a noble concubine and is very favored by His Majesty. I hope that all colleagues will not live up to God's kindness and send Lingyuan to the palace to participate in the draft.

Wei Dingbian listened and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is about to talk about this. Now your majesty's harem has 3,000 beauties and more than 20 concubines. The harem is already full of people. Your Majesty has ordered the cancellation of this draft, and I don't know why he wants to order the world to draft again?

The emperor listened and hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I have 3,000 beautiful women, except for Meng Guifei who can communicate with me... can communicate with me, other concubines can't please me. There is hardly a good person around me who can talk to me. Therefore, I still issued an edict to order the world to continue to enter the draft women.

"Your Majesty, you still need to think twice about this matter." Wei Dingbian said, "Your Majesty's order to change day and night, I'm afraid it will not be the hearts of the people! What's more, my years in the Central Plains have not been good. Mountain spirits, ghosts and other demons come out from time to time to mutilate all kinds of nature. Today's top priority is to cultivate health, persuade farmers, and let all the world be full of people to eat, instead of separating other people's flesh and blood for your majesty!"

After Wei Dingbian finished speaking, the officials held their breath and did not even dare to breathe. The emperor's face was covered by the crown, but everyone could also guess that the face was extremely ugly.

Meng Taishi suddenly came forward and shouted harshly, "Bold! Wei Dingbian, if you believe that you are the elders of the Three Dynasties, you can rely on the old here and sell the old without paying attention to your majesty? Come on, take down this man!"

Captain Tong hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called good medicine is good for the disease, and the advice is bad for the ears. What the national teacher said is a heartfelt word, which can be said to benefit the country and the people. I hope your majesty will think twice.

"Captain Tong!" Meng Taishi sneered and said, "It's not because your daughter was also selected by your majesty and has to participate in the audition, so you oppose your majesty's draft."

"Meng Taishi, if you can say this, it can be seen that you have been premeditated." Tong Taiwei said coldly, "It only a few days after the little girl returned home, and she was also edicted to enter the show girl. The Taishi's movement to my Taiwei's mansion is like a fire."

"That's it!" Meng Taishi blurted out and made his debut: "Which one of the big and small officials in the capital is not under the control of the old man?"

As soon as this statement came out, the court suddenly exploded, and all the officials stared at Meng Taishi coldly. Meng Taishi was stared at by the officials and felt uncomfortable. Just now, he remembered that there was something wrong with his words. He couldn't help looking at Lieutenant Tong angrily and said, "Well, Tong Anbang, you used your words to lure me into saying something insincerely!" Your Majesty, I was so angry that I just said this. I hope your majesty can observe it!"
