Raid

Chapter 417
Li Shengxi was about to speak, when someone ran in from outside, "Your Highness, Master Meng is in trouble."

"Wan Niang?" Li Sheng was startled.

"Master Meng was attacked and almost died." The servant girl said with her head lowered.

"What's the situation now?" Li Shengxi hurriedly asked, not caring why she had arranged someone beside Meng Wan for a moment, but such a dangerous situation still happened.

"There is no danger."

Li Shengxi heaved a sigh of relief, and frowned randomly, "So, what are the inner guards doing?"

"Today, after hearing that His Highness was attacked, His Majesty issued an imperial decree to the inner guards, and transferred all the inside and outside of Beijing to deal with matters related to His Highness. This time, there was no danger, and it was because of the person who was in charge of protecting Master Meng. The principal rushed back in time, which enabled the preservation of the principal Meng."

Li Shengxi's mind sank.

The inner guard is directly under the control of the king and is loyal to the king.Today, there are naturally loyal ministers among the inner guards, just like the diehards in the court.No wonder the emperor was able to deceive her with the inner guard she had controlled the longest.

She let out a sigh of relief, in this struggle between her and the little emperor, no matter who wins in the end, the inner guard is afraid that they will all be sacrificed.

The duty of the inner guard is to be loyal to the emperor, and now she and the emperor are fighting for power, causing the inner guard to divide.

This makes the inner guard go against the original intention.

No matter who wins or loses between her and the young emperor in the future, it will be difficult for the inner guard to keep them safe.

But it doesn't matter, she will continue to hire talents from the inner guard, and her starting point does not need an organization like the inner guard.

Thinking of this, Li Shengxi ordered his horses to come out.

an hour ago.

Meng Wan stayed in the household department for a long time after she was released. Because of the curfew, when the household department was busy, she would live directly in the household department.

Since she entered the household department, she has almost settled down here, and it is rare for her to go home.Although what Li Shengxi explained was just a simple sentence, there were too many files involved. If she wanted to find out about this matter, she had to act quickly, and she could only live in the household department from time to time.

Logically speaking, she should have lived in the household department today, but she has not been home for several days, the washing environment in the palace is harsh, and there will be a grand meeting tomorrow, so she can't go to face the saint with a disheveled appearance.

It was not easy for her to get this opportunity. If she was impeached by the censor for such a trivial matter and thus dismissed from office, she would hate herself to death.

It's just that she stayed in the household department for an extra hour. When she saw the time, she put away the file and planned to take it home to take a bath and change clothes to read carefully.

At first she was not in the mansion, and Zhan Qirui was very uncomfortable. Apart from the deep relationship between them, there was another point that she was gone, and the things in the mansion were left unattended. After Zhan Qirui returned to the mansion, he felt not as good as before Comfortable, naturally it will not adapt.

Although there are servants and housekeepers in the mansion, but the servants and housekeepers are outsiders after all, how could she know clearly.

When Meng Wan knew this for the first time, his mind was a little delicate.

At present, women are released to the outside world, but there are still a small number of people like her who come out to be officials.Most women take care of the back house for their husbands, but the act of taking care of the back house is not worthy of praise. In the hearts of the world, this is a woman's duty, and doing well is a matter of course.

No one thinks that taking care of the back house is worth boasting about. Men only think that this is a very delicate and trivial matter, and it is a matter of course.

But it's ridiculous that a man who claims to be a man can't do these little things well once he leaves his wife.

Sometimes Meng Wan would think that if he also had a wife, maybe he would be able to get promoted and make a fortune.

But this is also a trivial matter, although Zhan Qirui is not used to it, although he also hopes that she will go back to help with the housework, but he did not say it.

It's just that they have been married for many years, so after all, they are a little strange.

When Meng Wan first realized this, he felt a little unspeakable.

There is no doubt that she and Zhan Qirui have a bond of love, and the young couple later shared joys and sorrows together, traveled all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and were used to seeing the sufferings of people's lives.How could there be no emotion?

As long as she takes a step back, their relationship will be the same as before, but she is not willing to take a step back.

Although the days today are tiring, they are different from those in the past - after seeing Fang Tian outside, how could he be willing to be trapped in the boudoir?What's more, she didn't want to be trapped in the boudoir before.

Shi Zhisuo listens to the golden cage, which is not as good as the free singing in the forest.

Thinking this way, Meng Wan slowly walked out of the palace gate. The carriage was already prepared at the gate of the palace, and Meng Wan went up alone.

She still needs to learn how to ride a horse. After all, whether it is officials or generals who come to court, they basically come to court on horseback.

After finishing what she was doing, she must learn to ride a horse.

Thinking this way, Meng Wan continued to look at the file in his hand.

The household department is almost an iron plate, if it is not for the support of Li Shengxi behind her, it will be difficult for her to get in touch with these core files.Meng Wan was very curious about what he wanted to do with the level of precautions taken by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Even if she wanted to remain neutral in this party struggle between His Highness and Emperor Mingzhang, it had nothing to do with her checking the files.

What Hubu Shangshu has to do is to pretend not to know, rather than try to stop it.

He has managed the household department for many years, and he is naughty. If she hadn't had a backer, it would have been really difficult to see these files.

She followed Li Shengxi's route directly, and went to Zangshuge to check these files every day after everyone left-she was not curious why Li Shengxi had the key from the household department.

"Hiss—" There was a horse neighing sound from outside.

Before Meng Wan could react, the whole carriage was jolted, and Meng Wan subconsciously put away the file.

And the next moment, she didn't even have time to grab the wall of the carriage, and the carriage rolled over.

Meng Wan's thoughts sank, she quickly grabbed the car window and looked out through the car window, only to see that the world was spinning and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The carriage turned several times before stopping, and there was a violent collision, and Meng Wan cried out in pain.

It's just that she didn't have time to hesitate, and the ominous premonition in her heart made her crawl out of the carriage.

As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw several big men with knives on the dark street, and the driver had fallen to the ground, unconscious.

Their blades with cold light were stained with invisible liquid, which further confirmed Meng Wan's conjecture.

Meng Wan couldn't help but look pale, she didn't care about the pain in her body, and ran in the other direction. Although her body was stronger than ordinary women, but she was trapped in the boudoir all year round, how could she compare to these burly men.

Soon, they caught up with her.

Slashing the air with a long knife, without the slightest hesitation, they came here this time just to take Meng Wan's name, and they didn't even give Meng Wan a chance to speak.

It's just that an arrow flying from a distance pierced through the air, winning Meng Wan a glimmer of life.The arrow pierced through the air and accurately hit the eyes of the knife-wielding man.

Seeing this, Meng Wan took advantage of the momentum and rolled away.

Immediately afterwards, another arrow flew over, piercing the heart of the person closest to Meng Wan.

Then, a few uniformly dressed people jumped from the eaves on both sides. They easily subdued the strong men, and one of the women helped Meng Wan up.

　The starting point of the attack does not need an inner guard.Because after she ascended the throne, she was directly the emperor in power.

　　And Emperor Hongxing reorganized the inner guard at the beginning because he was surrounded by wolves at that time, so he had to have a sharp sword that directly obeyed his orders.This is conducive to his direct distribution of great rights to those "humble" people, such as women, slaves and workers.thereby decentralizing power from the powerful.

　　But Li Shengxi is different, and an institution like the inner guard, if the monarch is not strong, is also prone to corruption.Refer to Dongxi Factory and Jinyiwei.

　　Even without this incident, Li Shengxi would have abolished the inner guard.
