Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Some people didn't know where the Meng family came from, and they hadn't heard that there was a family named Meng in Han Dan Mansion!
But judging from the scholar's appearance, it seems that the Meng family is very famous?
There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and everyone was asking what kind of family the Meng family was.
"Haha! The Meng family that my brother is referring to is probably the Meng family that knows astronomy and geography from the top to the bottom and knows all the strategies, right?"
Someone thought of something and exclaimed.
"That's right! It's the Meng family!" The scholar nodded proudly. People who didn't know better thought he was the Meng family, and he was so proud of it.
"What's the Meng family? Don't play riddles! Tell us!"
Many students looked confused. Seeing that someone knew, they quickly asked.
In an instant, the lobby was buzzing with discussion, which made Su Yizhao very curious.
"I didn't expect that someone from the Meng family would also be born. I'm afraid the situation in the court may change." Su Yijue shook his head after hearing this, and then sighed.
"Fifth brother, do you know who the Meng family is?"
Seeing Su Yijue's appearance, Su Yizhao knew that the other party must know about the Meng family, so he asked.
She had also read through the history of the previous and current dynasties, but she had not seen a single word about the Meng family.
"Xiaoqi has read through the history books of the previous and current dynasties, but has not read the unofficial history, right? However, the Meng family is very mysterious, so it is common sense not to know."
Even Su Yiliang, who had a very unruly temper, pricked up his ears and came closer.
Su Yizhao wanted to say that he often read unofficial histories, but it was just that he didn't often find good books in this market.
"Please ask Su Wulang to clarify your doubts!" Wan Sheng treated the three Su brothers directly according to their ranking.
Su Yijue didn't show off, and said: "To talk about the Meng family, we have to start with the previous dynasty, the Wu Dynasty."
There were also people on the side who didn't know the Meng family. When they heard that Su Yijue was about to introduce them, they also came over.
"The Meng family is a family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. During the reign of Emperor Hui of Ming Dynasty in the Wu Dynasty, fifty-four members of the Meng family were serving as officials. This was the heyday of the Meng family. Among them, the head of the Meng family held a high position and was the most important person at that time.
Chief Minister of the Dynasty."
As soon as Su Yijue finished speaking, he was questioned by others. Even Su Yizhao had doubts in his heart.
"Brother, can you explain that the chief assistant at the time of Emperor Hui was Meng? But as far as I know, the chief assistant at that time was Gao Jin. Until Emperor Qingfeng succeeded to the throne, Gao Jin was still on the throne for ten years.
For a long time, until he suddenly died in the middle of the night when he was sixty years old, where did the chief assistant of the Meng family come from?"
As the scholar spoke, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
When everyone heard the words, they also agreed. Some of them had read the history books of previous dynasties. What Su Yijue said was inconsistent with the records in the books.
"These are all unofficial historical records. You can just listen to them to relieve your boredom." Su Yijue was not angry, but continued: "However, before Gao Jin took office as the first assistant, there was a vacancy in the position of first assistant for five years. This is what is recorded in the history books.
."
When everyone heard this, some shook their heads in disbelief, while others were thoughtful.
"As you said, Meng has only been the first assistant for five years? What does this mean?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"This is the reason why the Meng family retired." Su Yijue picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Seeing the curiosity in Su Yizhao's eyes across from him, Su Yijue immediately smiled.
"The ability of the Meng family is not only to change the clouds and rain in the court. It is said that the head of the Meng family at that time, Meng Changqing, was knowledgeable about the past and the present, and had excellent strategies. He was the reincarnation of Zhuge. Moreover, this man was very good at fortune-telling in Zhouyi and was favored by the Holy Spirit.
."
As soon as Su Yijue finished speaking, someone questioned: "So, Meng Changqing is so powerful, he shouldn't only be the first assistant for five years!"
Su Yizhao glanced at the student. At this moment, Su Yijue looked like a storyteller. The man was a complimentary person, more professional than her cousin, and she didn't even need to ask.
"But you all know that the Zhouyi hexagrams are good and bad. At a banquet for diplomatic envoys in the palace, Meng Changqing was slightly drunk, so he spoke uncontrollably and gave sixteen words of advice,
This made Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty furious and led to the annihilation of the clan."
"Wait a minute! The catastrophe of genocide? As you said, the catastrophe of genocide can still have descendants left in the world? Then isn't it a joke that I just said that this person is still a member of the Meng clan?"
Some students hurriedly asked questions, feeling that Su Yijue was just trying to gain fame and show off his talents.
I don't know where I read the miscellaneous books, but they are just jokes, but they are taken as true.
"Of course things have changed!" Su Yijue said with a smile.
"Ha! Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty is a king of the generation. Once the golden mouth is opened, is there still room for change? Brother, I think you should read less of those idle books in the future, and don't take it seriously!"
One person couldn't bear it any longer, so he laughed out loud.
"This brings us to the reason why Meng's family became so prosperous back then!" Su Yijue said still unhurriedly.
Everyone sneered, and one of the students stood up and questioned: "This dear friend is getting further and further away. If the Meng family really has such ability, why has it disappeared for so many years? Are you afraid that you are not a member of the Meng family?
"
"He is a descendant of the Su family in the capital. How can he be a member of the Meng family? Originally, I just wanted to clear up my confusion for everyone. If you don't believe it, just listen to it as a story. Why is there such a big hostility?"
At this time, Wan Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he defended Su Yijue.
This Wansheng's conduct was not bad, Su Yizhao nodded secretly.
"Everyone! This brother of mine is just trying to clear up my family's doubts and disturb you. I also want to treat you to a good meal and a drink."
Scholars are very good at writing, especially those scholar-bureaucrats in ancient times, who would criticize you verbally and writing at every turn. It would be best not to offend you.
However, what Su Yizhao meant was that his family members are talking, whether you like it or not, or if you don't like it, you can eat it.
Everyone curled their lips and turned around to eat the food and wine in front of them, but their ears still stood up.
"Fifth brother, please continue!" After Su Yizhao finished speaking, he looked at Su Yijue expectantly.
Su Yijue chuckled lightly, her eyes clearing a lot.
"The Meng family was a great contributor to the founding of the Wu Dynasty. The ancestor of the Meng family was a military advisor to the Emperor Gaozu of the Wu Dynasty. When the Wu Dynasty was first established, the Meng family ancestor was unwilling to be promoted to an official position, and instead retired to the mountains and forests.
, don’t care about worldly affairs.”
Su Yijue paused, not waiting for Su Yizhao and the others to urge him, and then said: "However, Emperor Gaozu of the Wu Dynasty valued the Meng family very much at that time, and stated that as long as the Meng family members are willing to become officials, they will definitely have a place in the court."
"People in the world are indifferent to fame and fortune, and the Meng family is not immune to it. After the ancestor of the Meng family became a flying immortal, many people in the family successively entered the officialdom. Moreover, most of the Meng family members are talented and intelligent.
If you pass it on to your family, it will never go unfavorable."
Su Yizhao nodded. The ancestor of the Meng family was indifferent to fame and fortune, which does not mean that all future generations are like this.
What's more, for the development of the whole family, joining the officialdom is undoubtedly the best choice, otherwise the Meng family will end up being reduced to a countryman.
