Chapter 76
Coming out of Xinde Hall, Meng Shulan was in a daze.

The history of the origin of Wu'an that he thinks is false. There is no such thing as the five great families of the former dynasty, and there is no such thing as the overthrow of tyranny in one year.

The entire uprising time spanned ten years.

Only the mutual compromise between the five families was true. There was an oral agreement passed down from generation to generation between the five families of Wen, Xu, Li, Yan, and Guo.

It is this agreement that has created the current distribution of forces in Wu'an, four borders and one interior.

For a hundred years, this agreement has been restricting the five families, but with the passage of time, the power of each family has not developed evenly, which has caused some people to become greedy.

The Li family who supported Wen Zhemao was one.

The Xu family who supported Wen Zhehan was another one.

"The Xu family has been prime ministers for generations, and all officials are headed by prime ministers. They are all fans of Prime Minister Xu both inside and outside the court."

The emperor warned Meng Shulan solemnly, "That person Xu Xiangfeng seems to be adhering to his duties as a minister, but if he wants to move one day, he will make all the ministers with a word, and the harm will be more serious than any of the four frontier princes." !"

"If you weren't afraid of the pen in the hands of the historian, do you think the Xu family, which has been in the court for a hundred years, would be willing to submit to others?"

"If the third child really becomes the emperor, Xu Xiangfeng will really be above ten thousand people. With the temperament of the third child, how can he make Xu Xiangfeng that old fox? By then, the Wen family's royal family may really become him." The puppet of the Xu family!"

"The ancestors of the Xu family seemed to be at a disadvantage in the past, but looking at it now, it is an extremely clever abacus!"

Among the five families in the past, the Wen family was the emperor but lost power, and the Yan family's heirs withered, and now only Yan Qing is left.

The rest of Beijiang Zhenbei Marquis Guo Youning and Xu Xiangfeng are all supporters of Wen Zhehan, but it is unknown what the Guo family is related to Xu's family.

Dongjiang is bordered by Daliang, rich and peaceful. Although it is under the management of the royal family, the current Zhendong Marquis was recommended by Xu Xiangfeng.

Now that the situation in western Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang is unstable, Marquis Zhendong must not be replaced at will. I don't know how deep his friendship with Xu Xiangfeng is.

Looking at it this way, two of the five families were defeated, and the Xu family was the only one!
It was no wonder that the emperor was so afraid of Xu Xiangfeng that he knew that Wen Zhemao was not benevolent, but he still refused to appoint Wen Zhehan as his heir.

Or maybe the emperor just took a fancy to Wen Zhemao's inhumanity, and knew that if he ascended the throne, he would never be soft on the Xu family, let alone control the Li family.

Walking to the palace gate, Meng Shulan immediately saw Wen Zhehan waiting at the palace gate.

He talked with the emperor from dawn to mid-sun, but Wen Zhehan was still waiting here. He really hoped that he could meet Xiaoliu.

Xiao Liu died unexpectedly, so he couldn't be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so he had to choose another cemetery.

He probably buried Xiao Liu himself.

Meng Shulan thought so.

I have to wait for myself to go together, I also want to see Xiaoliu again, right?
If there is no such excuse, according to the queen's temperament, she will interfere with him.

Being an emperor requires benevolence, but it must not be too affectionate.

Wen Zhehan is impeccable in talent, learning and administration, but he is not a good candidate for emperor, especially since he is backed by the Xu family.

Thinking of this, Meng Shulan felt a little regretful.

If Wen Zhehan can be an emperor, display his talents to the fullest, and express his ambitions, he should be a good emperor.

It's a pity that when the ruler is weak and the minister is strong, if he is trapped by emotions, it will be difficult for him to make a decision.

Those who are indecisive can hardly be emperors.

Knowing this, Meng Shulan finally understood why the emperor favored Wen Zhemao wholeheartedly, while neglecting Wen Zhehan, who obviously had better talents for governing the world.

The measurement of power and the restriction of family background, it is doomed that Wen Zhehan can only be a minister, not an emperor.

Thinking of the fact that before leaving, the emperor mentioned that Wen Zhexian would be called back to Beijing, Meng Shulan felt even more sorry for Wen Zhehan.

As they got closer, Meng Shulan restrained her emotions, pursed her lips and said to Wen Zhehan, "Let's go, let's go see Xiao Liu."

Wen Zhehan noticed Meng Shulan's expression was different, so he asked him: "Why, what did the father say?"

Meng Shulan perfunctory: "It's nothing, just deal with the matter in the south as soon as possible, lest the rebels take advantage of the loopholes, and it will be troublesome again."

Wen Zhehan saw Meng Shulan's perfunctory, but Meng Shulan didn't want to say it, and it was useless for him to ask, he could only echo: "That's natural. It's just that I'm afraid we need to deal with the affairs in Beijing first, and everything that should be rewarded and punished should be settled. Only then can we decide who to send to southern Xinjiang to manage affairs. Right now, we can only let people go and watch first."

As he said that, Wen Zhehan asked him again, "Are you really following the military situation taught by Yan Qing? You must know that it is time to employ people. With Yan Qing's contribution, it is almost a certainty that he will go south. If you are lucky, don't talk about townships." Marquis of Nan, it should be no problem to confer a general and a commander to take charge of the soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang."

Hearing Wen Zhehan talk about this matter, Meng Shulan was full of lawsuits, muttering: "I haven't said it yet. Even if I said it, I couldn't really say it according to Ah Qing. How can I take credit for her?"

At the end, Meng Shulan suddenly remembered that she had talked to the emperor all morning, and it was too unreasonable to say nothing.

Glancing at Wen Zhehan, afraid that he would ask more questions, Meng Shulan added: "This time I also led the troops back privately. Although I came back to serve the king, there was no edict, no oral order, and left behind so many things in Xijiang. It’s still somewhat inappropriate to come back. According to Uncle’s opinion, it’s fine for Suifeng to bring people back, and I should take charge of the overall situation in the western border, lest those people in the west take advantage of the chaos and make small moves at the border.”

"Anyway, I was dragged and trained for a long time, and I didn't even have a chance to interrupt, let alone report any military situation."

Meng Shulan grimaced, as if she had really been reprimanded by the emperor, "At first, I thought that reporting the military situation would be cumbersome, so I kept turning my tongue. I wanted to relieve Ah Qing a little, but I never thought that my uncle would be so cumbersome. Don't give me a chance."

"I'm afraid he will have to ask Ah Qing to find out about the situation later, and he has to remind uncle when he comes back, don't really let Ah Qing pass the credit to me."

Seeing the reluctance on Meng Shulan's face, Wen Zhehan couldn't help laughing at him: "Others want this credit, but they can't ask for it. Why don't you want it for nothing?"

Meng Shulan glanced at him and sighed: "You don't understand, Ah Qing is so easy to understand. She wants to give me the credit, but she just feels that she owes me and wants to return the favor. Once she really makes her return the favor , she doesn't feel that there is any concern. When the time comes, she will leave as soon as she says, and she may not make a sound. "

Wen Zhehan was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Yan Qing is leaving? Where are you going? How do you know? Did she tell you?"

Meng Shulan smiled wryly: "If she really told me where to go, I wouldn't be entangled in whether to take the credit. The tree attracts wind, and she can relax a bit if I take care of her, but seeing her acting recently, she always gives me a kind of entrustment." I'm afraid she won't go back to Xijiang."

 Ha ha!Didn't expect that?There is no next episode today, and the next episode will be in the later period. We will see each other later.

  Hehehe...
