Chapter 118
"Ability is ability, but a person may not be a good person."

Wu Qiuyang judged Meng Shulan like this.

Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Luzhi looked at each other, and asked, "Where did you say that?"

Wu Qiuyang glanced at the two people who were playing vigorously on the field, and confirmed that Yan Qing had no time to pay attention to this side, so Wu Qiuyang lowered his voice and gossiped with Liu Xiyuan mysteriously: "That kid came to our western border, that's the purpose. Very impure!"

Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Luzhi looked at each other in dismay, both of them thought that they had accidentally discovered something inside, and they were about to learn about the conspiracy of the imperial aristocrats.

It's no wonder they think so, mainly because Meng Shulan is the emperor's most beloved nephew, why is the emperor willing to let him go to the frontier to suffer?
Especially at that time, Meng Shulan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she went to the western Xinjiang where wars were most frequent.

Even if Meng Shulan wanted to go to the army to practice and increase his knowledge, no matter how you look at it, it was still in the hands of the royal family. Compared with the most stable and prosperous Eastern Xinjiang, it was more suitable?

But even if the emperor let Meng Shulan go to Xijiang, he would still go there for four years.

In the past four years, Meng Shulan had made good friends with Zhenxihou's family, won the trust of Zhenxihou, devoted himself to cultivation, and thus took root in Xijiang.

In the next big battle, although the Xirong people were brave and good at fighting, and they were numerous and powerful, how could Zhenxi Hou have been dealing with the Xirong people for so many years, so how could he easily fall into the trap of the Xirong people?

And in the end, the Xirong people's surprise soldiers escaped, circumvented the Southwest United Defense Battalion, passed through the Blind Forest, and attacked Tahrir by surprise, ignoring the defense line of the Western Frontier!

This is really suspicious!
The Western soldiers who came in by surprise divided the battlefield and defeated them one by one.If it weren't for Zhenxihou, Zhenxihou Shizi and others leading the Yan family army to defend each other desperately, the western border may have already fallen.

However, the time when the Xirong people made a surprise attack happened to be when Meng Shulan left Western Xinjiang.

Although he brought troops to rescue in the end, he saved Yan Qing and saved the last bloodline of Marquis Zhenxi.

But later, he also relied on this point to gain Yan Qing's trust, so that Yan Qing willingly handed over the Xijiang Commander Seal to him.

But the emperor knew that there was something wrong with the defeat of the battle in the western region, but he didn't go into it.

If the emperor had studied it deeply, he might have discovered Li Dingshan's disobedience long ago...

In other words, the emperor already knew Li Dingshan's disobedience, and even indulged Li Dingshan in collusion with Xirong, which caught Xijiang by surprise.

Or, it was the emperor's order from the beginning. He knew Li Dingshan's ambitions, so he took advantage of this to get rid of Zhenxi Hou and order Meng Shulan to take power, and it happened to be able to blame Li Dingshan and drive Yan Qing to be hostile to Li Dingshan.

But after thinking about it, although the Yan family has made great achievements, the four frontiers are originally constraints for each other. If the emperor rashly moves the western border, it will affect the whole body, which may cause turmoil in the entire country.

It seems that this should not be a stupid thing that an emperor would do.

The current situation can be said to be caused by the collapse of the Yan family in Western Xinjiang.

The guard of Xijiang is absent, although Meng Shulan is in charge, but the big families see the needles. After all, Meng Shulan is not the Yan family. Even if he is highly regarded by the Zhenxihou, he may not be able to support some old families in Xijiang.

Besides, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered.When the Yan family falls, people will always change their minds. Even if Yan Qing, who is from the Yan family, takes over Xijiang, the situation will probably not be much better than Meng Shulan's taking over.

Xijiang was too busy to take care of himself, so naturally he could no longer restrain Li Dingshan from South Xinjiang.In a sense, it contributed to Li Dingshan's rebellion.

And if Li Dingshan had not rebelled, the guards in southern Xinjiang would not have fallen into a state of emptiness due to Li Dingshan's transfer of troops back to Beijing, and the flood storage dam in the upper reaches of the Xiangzhang River in Yuhuai County would not necessarily have collapsed.

If the dam is not destroyed, there will be no floods, civil disturbances and disasters.

This interlocking decline of the country is definitely not what an emperor wants to see.

But if it is said that these are just accidents, it is too coincidental, so that people feel as if they are in a puzzle, and they get a glimpse of the real situation by chance, but they don't know the whole picture.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a deep conspiracy in it.

Thinking about it like this, some parts that didn't make sense and violated harmony seemed to have a reasonable explanation in an instant.

The emperor must have planned to let Meng Shulan go to the western border.

But what is his plan?
Now whether this situation is in his expectation, but it is not possible for them to know.

Both Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Lu had serious expressions, and their hearts were clouded with suspicion.

Yuan Luzhi thought of some abnormal behaviors of his father recently, and his heart became heavier. He even wanted to go home immediately and confront his father.

He always felt that his father should know something, but he was hiding it.

Wu Qiuyang seemed to have never heard of the solemn expressions of the two of them.

Some people don't like to think too much by nature, live in the moment, and enjoy the moment.

Wu Qiuyang is such a person.

Therefore, he, who was very interested in gossip, didn't notice the sudden change in the expressions of Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Luzhi, he just thought that he was just tantalizing, shook his head, and whispered to them mysteriously.

"Don't look at that boy Meng Shulan as an idiot, he understands this, and that's okay. In fact, he's just a softie who loves beauty and doesn't love country."

Speaking of Meng Shulan's act of abandoning the country and choosing a beautiful woman, Wu Qiuyang was very contemptuous, "A good man should have lofty aspirations, and should take it as his duty to govern the country, regulate the family and bring peace to the world. He is so good! We, Yan Shuai, value him so much, and want to mention him to ourselves He worked as a counselor under the tent, but this kid wanted to rely on our little general! In four years, the little general has been promoted from the small captain to the commander of the forward battalion, and he has always been the military adviser to the little general."

"Anyway, if the little general is promoted, his position will be moved a bit, otherwise, nothing can be done!"

When Wu Qiuyang talked about the promotion opportunities that Meng Shulan gave up these years, he was envious and regretful. He only hated that Meng Shulan was not motivated!
"If it weren't for the sake of him being the emperor's nephew, who would agree to assign a military advisor to the captain? Even a junior general wouldn't be able to receive such treatment!"

In a short period of time, Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Luzhi, who had already made up a conspiracy theory that could overthrow the country, suddenly learned from Wu Qiuyang what he called "Meng Shulan's purpose is not pure", I just feel like I can't get my head around.

It felt like the old man got up after bending over, and was flashed to the waist.

It's just that they should be counted as... a flash in the head?

Liu Xiyuan, who was speechless, twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked Wu Qiuyang with a strange face: "Is it the impure purpose of His Highness King Shu to go to Xijiang to pursue General Yan?"

"Ok!"

Wu Qiuyang nodded seriously, glanced at the two players who hadn't finished their fight, then lowered his voice and told Liu Xiyuan and Yuan Luzhi, "I have to remind you..."
