Meng Yuan is the only clue now, but they have no good solution if they can't find him.
However, I don’t know whether it was because he was disgusted by Ying Wushang, or whether he was really suppressed by the Qianhu Order. Xu Le gave the two of them a good suggestion in an unusually positive manner——
"The official thinks that although Mr. Meng's whereabouts are uncertain, the Meng family is still in the capital, so you might as well start from here."
Facing the questioning looks of the two men, Xu Le said calmly: "Back then, the former crown prince was the eldest son of the middle palace, and he was born with the most noble status. His temper was naturally bigger than that of ordinary princes, so even if
Mr. Meng cannot bring someone back from Jiangnan with just a few words."
"Sir, you are saying..." Qi Yunzhou's eyes flashed, as if he understood what the other party meant.
Xu Le nodded and said with a smile: "When Lord Meng went to Jiangnan to deal with the prince's affairs, he must have had an explicit decree from the late emperor, otherwise his highness would not have been obedient."
The imperial edict is different from the file. If the Jinyiwei file is lost, with Qianhu's position, he cannot afford to be fined or scolded, but if he destroys the imperial edict without authorization, even if he is as respected as Master Meng, he will lose his head. This relationship
to royal majesty.
"But the imperial edict is not an ordinary object. How can the Meng family be willing to let us borrow it?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan asked.
Xu Le smiled, did not answer, and bowed his hands before retreating. Today he was forced to help by the power of the token. No matter how much he did... he was not a good person.
Qi Yunzhou looked at Xu Le's leaving figure, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I'm afraid it won't be possible for His Highness to come forward to borrow the book. After all, we are neither relatives nor friends... But there is someone who may be able to help. I will handle this matter, please."
Your Highness will return to the palace and stay for a while."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan had no other choice but to trust Qi Yunzhou, and what Qi Yuanzhou was looking for was none other than his disciple Princess Hua Luan.
Queen Yongle's mother-in-law is a daughter of the Meng family, so the Queen's body can be considered to be half of the Meng family's blood. Rough calculation, the little princess can naturally occupy some face in the Meng family.
Even without this relationship, as the only princess in the dynasty, the Meng family would have to weigh the weight of Hua Luan's reputation.
However, there was no need to rush the matter, so Qi Yunzhou put it aside for the time being. After he had taught the princess for some time, and until winter entered the season and people in the capital became more frequent, he decided to mention it.
It was snowing heavily on this day, and the capital city was covered with a thin layer of silver. Students were holding umbrellas or walking quickly, but it was a pity that few people stopped to watch and comment on this beautiful snow scene.
Qi Yunzhou opened the window and looked at Princess Hua Luan standing in the early snow with two or three attendants. He saw the little princess waving for someone to remove the paper umbrella above her head. She raised her hand to hold up a snowflake, lowered her eyes and looked closely, with a serious look on her face.
I’m studying everyone’s classics.
The sky is floating with silver flowers, and the girl is holding the snow and singing with her eyes. The scenery is beautiful and beautiful. This scene makes Qi Yunzhou suddenly become inspired by poetry. He can't help but want to write a few sentences, but this wonderful atmosphere is destroyed by the other party in the next second.
Got to be clean.
The little princess suddenly let go and shook off the snowflakes in her hand, raised her head, opened her mouth wide, and swallowed the snowflakes that fell in her mouth with a whimper.
"...What are you doing, Your Highness?" Qi Yunzhou looked at Princess Hua Luan who returned to the room with a black line.
"The queen mother said that the tea brewed in Chuxue is the most delicious, but I don't think the taste is very special." Princess Hua Luan licked her mouth, took the hot tea sent by the attendant and drank it slowly.
Hearing this, Qi Yunzhou was speechless for a while. Should I say that she is worthy of being His Majesty's daughter? Sometimes I really can't understand what the father and daughter are thinking.
"Teacher, what are we going to learn today?" After a cup of hot tea had cooled her stomach, the little princess asked about today's lesson. Qi Yunzhou's teaching was always based on his heart, and there was no fixed process.
"We don't have classes today." Qi Yunzhou picked up the tea.
"Oh," the little princess stood up and patted the hem of her skirt: "Teacher, please leave."
"...Your Highness, please wait."
Qi Yunzhou pressed the bridge of his nose helplessly: "I have something to ask your highness for help today."
"The teacher actually asked me for help, let's just say it." The little princess sat back in her seat.
"For now..."
Qi Yunzhou laughed and shook his head: "Your Highness, even if you don't want to do it at this time, you shouldn't show it so obviously."
The little princess held her chin in her hands and said nonchalantly: "If it's to outsiders, it's natural to hide it more, but it's not necessary for teachers."
If an ordinary person heard these words, he would definitely be moved, but Qi Yunzhou was different. He could see the teasing meaning behind the little princess's words at a glance. I'm afraid it was mostly an insinuation that he was good at sophistry and it was easier for him to talk in a roundabout way.
Asking for trouble, it's better to go straight and save both parties some effort.
"Your Highness's love is heart-warming."
Qi Yunzhou smiled and then said: "Even so, I would like to trouble the princess to go to the Meng Mansion and check the imperial edicts from previous years that have been preserved in the mansion."
The little princess glanced at Qi Yunzhou strangely: "Teacher, are you going to check the old affairs from when? Are they not in the imperial documents and files?"
Qi Yunzhou has a wide network of contacts, and almost every Confucian disciple has some relationship with him. With his ability, it is not difficult to check the court files.
"This is a past incident decades ago. There may be some flaws in the court documents, and it is not as detailed as the decree." Qi Yunzhou said.
"Really?" The little princess stared at Qi Yunzhou suspiciously for a while, and then nodded: "This is not a difficult task. It is rare for the teacher to ask, so I will leave this matter to me."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Qi Yunzhou nodded and said, "By the way, Your Highness can also test the attitude of the Meng family."
The little princess frowned slightly: "Teacher, didn't you say that now is not the time to mature your wings too early? Besides, the Meng family is not a good choice either."
Everyone knows that the fortune of the Meng family lies with the Meng Yuan brothers and sisters. Nowadays, the descendants of the Meng family cannot even defend Chengdu, and Princess Hua Luan does not look down on them at all.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qi Yunzhou said: "The descendants of the Meng family are indeed mediocre in qualifications, but after all, they are also the family of princes and the mother clan of the queen. It is not a bad thing for Your Highness to be friendly with them.
.”
"I'm worried that instead of being a help, they will become a burden," the little princess said bluntly: "A while ago, I heard that my cousin gave me a generous gift at my brother's apprenticeship banquet, and then my cousin's affairs were exposed.
Come out."
The head of the Meng family gave Prince Ding a set of the four treasures of the study belonging to great figures in the literary world of the previous dynasty. It was worth more than a thousand gold and was considered the most expensive gift at the apprenticeship banquet. Although it was okay for the queen’s family to be more considerate, the next day the Meng family’s little girl
It was exposed that the young master ordered his servants to beat Mr. Zhang.
If it was an ordinary fight, it would be fine, but this was still a conflict between two young men who were jealous of the courtesan courtesan. The young master of the Meng family was competing with the young master of the Zhang family in the flower house. He felt resentful afterwards, so he took advantage of the dark night.
The wind caught someone's sack.
After beating someone, the young master of the Meng family, instead of keeping a low profile, publicized the incident as a "record" to show off his ability. Only the young master of the Meng family dared to act so wildly under the emperor.
It's not surprising that the dandy is so ridiculous, but considering that his father gave him a heavy gift at Prince Ding's apprenticeship banquet, it's hard to avoid people thinking that he was trying to use his power to overwhelm others.
So the Zhang family, who had originally planned to settle the matter, became angry, so they changed their minds and directly filed a book with the head of the Meng family about this matter. The cause and effect were clear, and the Meng family was in the wrong.
The adults in the court may think more highly of the Meng family because of the relationship with the Queen, but they will never break the rules of the game because of this. If you, the Meng family, have the ability to suppress the Zhang family, then everyone should not have seen it, but since this matter
If someone gets caught, you have to follow the rules.
In the absence of the emperor, Prince Ding was just a spectator, and the government was handled by the cabinet. Therefore, the head of the Meng family was fined and reprimanded for "not being strict with his children."
Because of this, the prince's apprenticeship banquet was just around the corner, so Prince Ding did nothing and was gossiped about a lot.
