Chapter 108: Meng Hu's Fate
Chapter 108 Meng Hu’s Destiny
The imperial capital Luojing, the residence of the King of Yan.
Meng Ke was standing on the rockery in the back garden and looking into the distance. Meng Ke was the younger brother of the current emperor's mother. He held heavy troops and had a high position and was in power. After the current emperor suffered a stroke and was hemiplegic in bed, Meng Ke was temporarily in charge of the government. Fortunately, Meng Ke had no ambitions, otherwise it would be easy for him to usurp the throne.
An eunuch took Meng Ke's tiger wind cloak and went up to the rockery, saying, "Your Majesty, put on this tiger skin cloak. The wind is strong on the mountain, don't catch a cold."
Meng Ke allowed the eunuch to put the tiger-skinned cloak on his body and suddenly sighed.
The eunuch was also an old man who had served Meng Ke for many years, and asked immediately: "Are you worried about the Second Highness?"
"Oh, yes." Meng Ke nodded and said worriedly, "This child doesn't know what evil he was. Before the two legions in the northwest and southwest gathered, he led the guards to set off directly. He also traveled a hundred miles a day to Xiling. It's time to arrive at Xiling at this time. I really don't want anything to happen."
The eunuch nodded and said, "Yes, the other party is Situ Rui, a famous unbeaten general in the Middle Earth world. Although the second highness is extremely talented, he is too young after all."
Meng Ke frowned and said, "Yan'er is young, but Shi Miyuan and Pu Sanzhi are not young anymore, right? Why don't they stop Yan'er?"
The eunuch said, "Mr. Miyuan and Mr. Sanzhi are afraid they can't stop him."
"Prince, Xiling Feige delivers a letter, great victory, where is Xiling's great victory!"
As the eunuch finished speaking, a young eunuch suddenly stumbled at the foot of the rockery in the distance. He waved his right hand while running, shouting loudly, "Prince, Xiling Victory, His Highness of the King of Qin defeated Situ Rui on the banks of his daughter's riverside. The siege of Xiling has been resolved without fighting..."
"What? Defeat Situ Rui!?"
Meng Ke instantly looked at the eunuch, and saw inexplicable shock in the other party's eyes. The news was so surprising. The young Meng Yan actually defeated the famous Situ Rui? Moreover, Meng Yan only used one guard army, while Situ Rui had enough army of three legions under him. How did this battle fight?
Before Meng Ke could get off the rockery, another eunuch in yellow robe hurried into the back garden of the Yan Prince's Mansion, and shouted loudly to Meng Ke from a distance: "Prince, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, Long live, let you go to the palace to see the car immediately, let you go to the palace to see the car immediately..."
Meng Ke was shocked when he heard this, and he wondered what day it was today?
Without any hesitation at the moment, Meng Ke shouted loudly: "Come here, bring good news. I will immediately enter the palace to see the emperor and report the news of the great victory in Xiling."
Xiling, the partial office of the Governor's Office.
After Meng Yan and others sat down, Meng Hu said calmly: "Before His Highness arrived, we had already discussed a general reconstruction plan. The source of troops needed for reconstruction of the Western Legion will be selected from the strong men who defended the city this time, and the middle and low-level officers will be transferred from the surviving veterans of the Fourth Division. As for the candidates for the four division commanders..."
Speaking of this, Meng Hu suddenly turned around and winked at Zhao Qinghan.
Zhao Qinghan understood and stood up and continued, "The four division commanders are chosen. Zhan Ying temporarily served as the division commander of the First Division, He Qing temporarily served as the division commander of the Second Division, Zhou Jin temporarily served as the division commander of the Third Division, Bai Xi temporarily served as the division commander of the Fourth Division, and after driving away the invading Mingyue bandits, the reconstruction plan will be presented to the Ministry of War and requested the Ministry of War to review it."
Shi Miyuan couldn't help frowning. He was originally going to accuse Zhao Qinghan and Meng Hu of ignoring the rules of the court and appointing and removing senior generals above the division commander without authorization, but now Shi Miyuan can't provoke the assassination. After all, these division commanders are only temporary, and they will still report to the Ministry of War for review in the end.
Meng Yan couldn't help asking, "What about Meng Hu?"
Zhao Qinghan suddenly looked back and smiled sweetly at Meng Hu, saying, "Just wait until the Mingyue bandits are driven away, Qinghan will marry General Meng Hu. According to the imperial regulations, General Meng Hu will also become the commander of the Western Legion. However, before the wedding, General Meng Hu can only temporarily take over the position of commander of the legion."
After hearing what Zhao Qinghan said, Meng Yan really regretted it. If he had known it, he wouldn't have asked this too much. Isn't this forcing Zhao Qinghan to admit his marriage to Meng Hu in person? But then again, it is already well known that Zhao Qinghan's heart belongs to Meng Hu, and it doesn't matter whether he has this happening today.
Thinking of this, Meng Yan couldn't help but become more determined to get rid of Meng Hu. Zhao Qinghan was his Meng Yan's, and no one could snatch her from him!
Luojing, palace.
The eunuch Gu Cheng led the Yan King Mengke straight to the bedroom of Mengyuan, the Emperor of the Guanghui Empire. Mengke asked while walking, "Eunuch Gu, when did Master Long live to wake up?"
Gu Cheng replied flatteringly: "Just half an hour ago, when I woke up, I was anxious to summon you, the prince."
After hearing Gu Cheng's pleasing words, Meng Ke's heart sank and asked with some concern: "How is the love head of Master Long live?"
"It's OK." Gu Cheng replied repeatedly, "From this morning, Master Long's complexion has begun to improve. Now he is even more rosy and has a red face. He doesn't look like a person who has been sick for a long time."
Meng Ke was more and more worried. The emperor's illness had been a long time ago. It started to worsen a year ago, and he fell into a coma three months ago. Today, he suddenly woke up, and his spirit and complexion returned to his original state... Meng Ke became more and more uneasy when he thought about it. Could it be that this was a bad omen for the emperor's abandonment?
Soon, Gu Chengzu led Meng Ke to the front of the bedroom, and then said flatteringly: "Prince, I have brought you here. Long lively. Master has given you the order, and you are only allowed to come in and see the emperor."
Meng Ke nodded and went straight into the bedroom.
Meng Yuan's bedroom has three or nine rooms, and his eyes are filled with carved beams and painted buildings, with royal luxury. As soon as Meng Ke entered the main hall, a slightly hoarse voice came from the East Warehouse: "Is it my second brother?"
"Brother!"
Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar voice, Meng Ke suddenly felt an indescribable admiration in his heart. He knelt down on the ground and rolled into the East Warehouse Pavilion.
In the East Warehouse, an old man wearing a yellow robe and in a strong and energetic seat was sitting upright on a warm chair.
Meng Ke had already walked forward, kneeling down in front of the chair and hugged the old man's legs and burst into tears.
The old man in yellow robe is naturally Meng Yuan, the old emperor of the Glorious Empire. Meng Yuan reached out to help Meng Ke up and said with a smile: "Second brother, look at you, how old you are, you are still like a child."
"Brother of the Emperor."
Meng Ke gradually stopped his sad voice and sobbed, "I have really missed you to death in the past three months."
"I know." Meng Yuan stood up, reached out and stroked Meng Ke's shoulders and said in a harmonious voice, "Gu Chengdu told me that those incompetent things have made you worry a lot, and you have suffered in the past three months."
Meng Ke said: "What are you talking about with the emperor? It is my duty to do the job for the emperor."
Meng Yuan sighed and said, "You and my brothers won't say these things. I don't have much time. After today, you and my brothers will probably not be able to meet again."
Meng Ke suddenly changed his expression: "Brother, you..."
Meng Yuan waved his hand and said, "Second brother, no one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death. We will not waste time by the secular children crying and crying. I have some major issues to discuss with you."
Meng Ke said miserably: "Brother!"
Meng Yuan said solemnly: "I just asked Gu Cheng to roughly explain what happened in the past three months. I didn't expect that something big happened in the past three months. That old guy Situ Rui is very good at picking time. He actually took advantage of the fact that I was unconscious and those incompetent things were fighting for power and profit. Hey."
Meng Ke then remembered the great victory in Xiling and hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry about this."
Meng Yuan said in surprise: "Oh?"
Meng Ke quickly took out the two Feige letters from his arms and handed them to Meng Yuan, saying, "This is the Feige letters that Yan'er and Shi Miyuan have just sent. Shi Miyuan's secret ministers had not had time to dismantle them, but what Yan'er sent was a book of victory. The Guards defeated Situ Rui in the Battle of Daughter River, and the siege of Xiling was already untied."
"Yeah?"
Meng Yuan took the letter suspiciously and did not read Meng Yan's book of Jie, but instead opened Shi Miyuan's secret letter and read it. As he looked, Meng Yuan's expression began to become solemn, his eyebrows were sometimes frowned and sometimes stretched, and there was a burst of admiration in his mouth from time to time.
Meng Ke asked in confusion: "Brother, what did Shi Miyuan say in the secret letter?"
Meng Yuan finally finished reading the intensive work, and handed it back to Meng Ke, and said with a relaxed tone: "Shi Miyuan repeatedly mentioned a person's name in the secret letter, and described in detail the whole story of the Battle of Daughter River. Read the letter first. After reading it, you should know how lucky Meng Yan won this time."
Meng Ke stopped talking, picked up Shi Miyuan's secret letter and read it carefully, then changed his expression slightly: "So this is the case! My brothers also thought that Situ Rui was defeated by Yan'er this time. It turned out that Situ Rui was just defeated undefeated, which is more reasonable."
Meng Yuan suddenly said, "Second brother, the Meng Hu that Shi Miyuan mentioned repeatedly seems to be very difficult."
Meng Ke nodded and responded: "This Meng Hu is indeed a good general. In the battle of Tianlang Pass, he killed Situ Biao, who is known as the number one general of the Mingyue Empire, among the ten thousand troops. He also wiped out the 20,000 troops of the Mingyue general Tuoba Tao with less than 2,000 light troops in the Hexi Fortress. It is indeed amazing."
Meng Yuan said coldly: "If Meng Hu's barbarian cavalry had not defeated Situ Rui's sickle knights first, Meng Yan's guard army would have been destroyed, hum!"
Meng Ke was silent, he didn't dare to talk about this topic casually.
Meng Yuan walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said, "I really want to see Meng Hu with my own eyes, and I want to ask him a few questions in person. It's a pity... Second brother, you can only take this barrier. If Meng Hu can use it, he will treat him as the left arm and right arm that assists Yan'er, if he can't use it..."
Meng Yuan did not say the last half of the sentence, but the cold murderous intent in his eyes had already explained it all.
Meng Ke felt amazement because Meng Yuan's easy words determined two great things.
