Late at night, Meng Yuan came to Wen Kongheng's house alone. As he expected, the lights in Wen Kongheng's study were not extinguished during this sleepless night.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the candle in front of Commander Wen's eyes began to sway, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
"You came."
Wen Kongheng raised his head and saw Meng Yuan standing in front of him. He said: "I know you will definitely come. Tomorrow is the end of the year ceremony. Your Majesty has ordered me to guard the outer gate and Tao Yuanlang to guard the outer gate."
Inner door."
After saying that, a bit of painful struggle appeared on his face, and his clenched fist hit the flat table, causing a crack to burst out in an instant.
"He still doesn't believe me -" Wen Kongheng's voice was hoarse and his tone was resentful: "After so many years, Your Majesty, he still doesn't believe me!"
Looking at Wen Kongheng with a painful expression, Meng Yuan suddenly sneered, and soon the sneer turned into an unbridled laughter. Facing the other person's murderous cold gaze, he mocked: "Wen Kongheng, you really
Have you become a loyal minister? Have you forgotten all the things you did back then?"
Wen Kongheng was shocked, and the resentment and grievance in his eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only emptiness and regret.
Slowly covering his cheeks with his hands, Wen Kongheng laughed a few times: "Yes, I almost forgot, I am a traitor and traitor just like you."
After the words fell, his eyes were filled with anger again. Wen Kongheng looked at Meng Yuan coldly: "What else do you want to do with me?"
Meng Yuan smiled slightly: "I will show you a way to survive."
Wen Kongheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he seemed to have guessed something, and his face suddenly changed. He slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Meng Yuan! You are treacherous! Did you tell His Majesty what happened back then?
You led me to where I am today!"
Wen Kongheng couldn't help but wonder why the emperor would have abandoned him if the events of that year hadn't been leaked.
But after Meng Yuan heard this, he looked stunned, and then let out a mocking laugh.
"What's so ridiculous!" Wen Kong smashed the table in front of him with one palm, then strode up to Meng Yuan, grabbed the man's shirt with one hand, and raised it high with the other, his true energy gathered in his palm, and
With the palm down, it was less than three inches away from the opponent's face.
Wen Kongheng stopped, but the palm failed to strike after all, and Meng Yuan didn't react at all. He didn't know whether it was because he knew the other party's character well, or because he was arrogant that his martial arts could avert danger at the last moment.
Meng Yuan slowly raised his hand and pushed the iron palm in front of him aside. He smiled and said: "We have known each other for decades. You know best what I am like, and the things that hurt people behind my back."
I don't want to do it."
This is not to put money on his face. Meng Yuan is indeed an "upright and upright" person. He usually avenges his grievances in person. After all, with his powerful position, there is no need to hide.
Wen Kongheng gradually calmed down. He was not stupid. He quickly guessed the key: "Is it Cao Yuan?"

Wen Kongheng's face turned red because he was angry. He didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of this eunuch in the end. Now that he thought about it, if Cao Yuan had no intention of cooperating with him from the beginning, what would he have done?
I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor will know about this scandal early on.
Wen Kongheng was a little scared at first, then a little melancholy, and finally turned into a sigh.
He was not a sentimental person. After a moment of silence, he regained his composure, and there was no trace of confusion in his eyes: "I guess you already have a plan in mind, why don't you come and let me hear it."
Meng Yuan said calmly: "In the current situation, my chance of winning has reached 70%, the remaining 20% is up to you, and the last 10% is up to God."
Wen Kongheng understood what the other party meant. He stared and said, "It seems that you must break through this palace gate."
"So, I have to ask the commander-in-chief for your help." Meng Yuan said.
Wen Kongheng pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's difficult."
He walked back and forth for a few steps and then said: "Your Majesty asked me to guard the outer sect because he was suspicious of me. You know the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. I am the commander in name, but in fact I am the commander of the four sects under me."
They may not be able to listen to my orders wholeheartedly."
This is an unavoidable shortcoming of the Imperial Army, especially now that Wen Kongheng has known that the emperor has long been suspicious of him, so he is not sure that some of the commanders who are usually close friends with him are just acting.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I predict that something will happen in the palace tomorrow. Once chaos breaks out, all I need is you to open the main entrance of the palace for us," Meng Yuan said.
Wen Kongheng thought for a moment, then frowned and said: "The distance from the south gate of the imperial city to the main gate of the inner city is more than ninety feet. The city wall is tall and flat. Even if your men are all martial arts masters, how many of them can withstand the rain of arrows?"
Climb over? You can't get in."
But Meng Yuan smiled and said: "The city wall is so high, I naturally know that it is unrealistic to fill it with manpower. Besides, when the chaos breaks out tomorrow, all the officials and ministers will definitely come to ask for explanations. I don't necessarily want you to follow us.
Climb over the wall?"
Wen Kongheng didn't understand now, he said in shock: "Have you already put your hands into the Forbidden Army? Are there any of your spies among the people guarding the inner gate?"
"Haha, how is that possible?" Meng Yuan shook his head and said, "Except for you, Wen Kongheng, those commanders are all loyal and patriotic ministers, so how could they help us with this kind of head-turning matter?"
"In this case, how do you enter the palace?" Wen Kongheng asked puzzled.
"Take the main entrance." Meng Yuan said calmly.
Wen Kong was startled, and then said angrily: "You are crazy! This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor! Do you plan to attack the imperial city? Do you want to drag us to death together?!"
"It's just because I don't want to, that's why I came to ask you for help."
Meng Yuan stood up and opened the window, pointing in the direction of the imperial city. He said: "Tao Yuanlang was suddenly entrusted with an important task by Your Majesty. With his character, he will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations. If he comes to guard the inner gate tomorrow,
Even if you ask Mr. Ge to bang his head against the door, he will not waver in the slightest."
Wen Kongheng stared at Meng Yuan. He seemed to understand what the other party meant. Once the deal was done, they would have no choice but to take the most dangerous path. If they wanted to change everything, they could only find a way to catch it before it happened.
Do something before.
"Whether this matter succeeds or fails, I have a great stake." After a while, Wen Kongheng said.
Meng Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Wen Kongheng added: "This is a taboo thing. If I do it, I will definitely be hated by others in the future."
Meng Yuan nodded again: "Not bad."
Wen Kongheng finally said: "I took such a big risk just to pave the way for you. Does Brother Meng think it's appropriate?"
Meng Yuan nodded: "After the matter is completed, I promise you that the Wen family will be prosperous for three generations."
"Not enough," Wen Kong shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "The northwest is desolate, and horse thieves and bandits are as numerous as sand. I, the Wen family, are willing to guard the border for the imperial court, put an end to the banditry, and ensure peace in this area."
Meng Yuan's eyes gradually changed: "You want military power?"
"In these years in Beijing, I have had enough of this kind of life controlled by others," Wen Kongheng said indifferently: "Now, I want to change my way of life. After influencing this matter, Beijing will not be able to tolerate me anymore, so why not?"
I hope Brother Meng will succeed."
Meng Yuan was silent for a long time, and then said one word: "Okay."
