Chapter 195: You rascal, I will chop you to pieces today!
Ying Chengjiao walked out of his room and went towards the hall used for receiving guests.
As they approached their destination, the large group of people led by Meng Ao all caught Ying Chengjiao's attention. They were a whole caravan of Meng family guards and city defense troops.
Ying Chengjiao looked around at the mental state of these people, frowned, and found that something was wrong.
This old guy came to my house to ask about the situation, why did he bring so many people? Why does it look like he is here to demonstrate?
With a bad feeling in his heart, Ying Chengjiao quickened his pace and rushed straight into the hall.
Guest seats in the living room.
Meng Ao was wearing armor and sitting with his eyes closed.
Ying Chengjiao waved outside.
All the servants and maids in the hall walked past Ying Chengjiao without any greeting.
Only Meng Ao and Ying Chengjiao were left in the hall.
Ying Chengjiao deliberately stepped more heavily to make some noise, letting Meng Ao know that he had arrived.
Meng Ao opened his eyes and saw that there was no brilliance or dignity of a general in his eyes, only the powerlessness and guilt of old age.
"You broke into my house late at night wearing armor. How come you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were also bribed by Zhao Xianglu? Are you here to take my head?"
Ying Chengjiao's heart sank, he laughed loudly, took a few steps forward, put his arm around Meng Ao's neck and teased him.
He looked down at Meng Ao's waist and didn't see Qin Jian hanging on it, so he felt a little more at ease.
Meng Ao gently pushed Ying Chengjiao with both hands. As he looked at Ying Chengjiao, tears rolled down like a flood breaking through a dam.
The veteran slammed his knees to the ground.
Ying Chengjiao was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he forcibly grabbed Meng Ao, who just wanted to kneel down at the moment.
"Just say what you want to say. You know, I hate red tape the most."
"Chang'an Jun almost died. Meng Ao feels guilty towards the late King Zhuangxiang, the late King Xiaowen, and the late King Zhaoxiang!"
The old general burst into tears, which dripped onto Ying Chengjiao's hands. He washed Ying Chengjiao's hands with his tears.
It turned out that it was because I was stabbed. I was shocked...
Patting Meng Ao's back gently, Ying Chengjiao calmed the old general's emotional breakdown and helped him sit in the guest seat.
"Is it not common for me to be assassinated? Don't take it to heart. If you really feel guilty, suppress this matter for me and don't let my brother hear it."
Meng Ao heard this.
Even more sad.
Chang'an Jun is really a man of great foresight. He knows that it is useless for me to go to Xianyang Palace, and he knows what I will encounter if I go to Xianyang Palace.
He grabbed Ying Chengjiao's right hand with both hands and shook it back and forth.
"Chang'an Jun's calculations are so accurate. I really regret not coming to Chang'an Jun's mansion before going to Xianyang Palace!"
Who am I to say that my calculations are accurate?
Before you go to Xianyang Palace...
You went to the Xianyang Palace?
Ying Chengjiao's expression froze, and he said stiffly, "You went to the Xianyang Palace?"
"yes."
Ying Chengjiao's smile was somewhat forced, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Don't joke with me. With your temper, armor alone is not enough. You need to hold a sword to break into the palace."
"Chang'an Jun's calculations are so accurate! I took the sword you gave me to break into the palace, but the sword was left by His Majesty!"
"…Tell me everything that happened after you entered the palace."
"I took a carriage to break into the palace, and the one guarding the palace gate was a boy from Li County. He wouldn't let me in..."
Is this what I'm asking?
Calm down, calm down, this old guy is old and his brain is not working well, I have to calm down.
Ying Chengjiao took a deep breath and said, "I'm asking about what happened after you met your brother."
Meng Ao then directly told the story of his meeting with the First Emperor in the Zhangtai Palace, with tears and snot.
The more Meng Ao told his story, the uglier Ying Chengjiao's expression became.
"I am incompetent! I cannot seek justice for Chang'an Jun!"
Ying Chengjiao couldn't bear it any longer and threw the table aside.
"Who asked you to pay it back? Who asked you to pay it back?"
The veteran was startled and thought Ying Chengjiao was dissatisfied with his attitude.
She wiped away her tears and said in a resounding voice, "Don't worry, Lord Chang'an. I will enter the palace during the next morning court session. I will help you to avenge yourself even if I have to risk my life. I only ask that you can protect the Meng family."
Calm down, calm down.
This is Uncle Wu ’s father. You can’t be angry with this old guy.
Ying Chengjiao held his chest and kept talking to himself.
After a long while, his face was still very bad. He gritted his teeth and said, "This matter ends here. Don't cause me any more trouble. You can keep your life and work hard to become a five-dynasty elder."
Changan Jun is kindhearted...
After hearing what Ying Chengjiao said, the veteran began to cry again and felt even more guilty towards Ying Chengjiao.
"Please, Lord Chang'an, preserve the bloodline of the Meng family. Meng Ao will be present at the next court meeting."
Ying Chengjiao was filled with rage, and was about to explode with anger from Meng Ao. He bent down and supported Meng Ao's arms.
He said seriously and threateningly, "Don't make trouble for yourself, and don't make trouble for me. If you do anything else because of this matter, I will destroy your Meng family ancestral hall and kill all nine generations of your Meng family.
"I'll make your Meng family's ashes into floor tiles and lay them in front of the Xianyang Palace, so that your Meng family will be stepped on by those scholars you look down on every day. I'm not joking with you, nor am I speaking sarcastically. Do you understand?"
Meng Ao nodded with tears in his eyes.
Although he is much older than Ying Chengjiao, he obeys Ying Chengjiao's orders.
"What are you going to do, Lord Chang'an?"
Meng Ao called out to Ying Chengjiao who was about to turn around and leave.
"Go back to bed!"
Ying Chengjiao kept walking and his tone was extremely bad.
"Your Majesty has sent Xia Wuqie to diagnose Lord Chang'an's pulse. I'll have them wait in another room. Lord Chang'an, please go and see him."
"You are fine, what the hell, let him see you, you are sick! Get out of here!"
soon.
The Meng family convoy stopped at Chang'an Junfu, and then left from the main gate of Chang'an Junfu and returned to Mengfu.
Meng Ao felt uncomfortable sitting in the carriage.
Thinking about the tone of Ying Chengjiao's words just now, I felt even more uncomfortable.
He believed that Ying Chengjiao's threats to him just now were because he didn't want him to get involved in this mess.
The veteran who had fought in the military for many years was very sure that when Ying Chengjiao threatened him just now, there was no murderous aura on his body and no killing intent in his eyes.
Over the years, the only person who has not changed is Chang'an Jun.
Ying Chengjiao, who was highly praised by Meng Ao in his heart, was actually holding back a fire of anger in his heart.
He now regretted it deeply. Why did he not bother to disturb Meng Ao tonight? Why did he feel sorry for Meng Ao's age?
If he had gone to Meng's mansion immediately after catching the Yue girl, wouldn't there be nothing to worry about now?
I hope my brother really wants to suppress this matter as Meng Ao said.
Return to the main room.
Ying Chengjiao had a happy face when he went out, but his face was as dark as a cloud when he came back.
Qingmei asked, "What accident happened?"
Ding Xiang asked, " Why are you unhappy, sir?"
Ying Chengjiao ignored the two girls, crawled into bed, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Dingxiang carefully pulled up the corner of the quilt for Ying Chengjiao.
Qingmei leaned close to Ying Chengjiao's face and looked at him carefully, and ignored the glare and threat from her sister Dingxiang.
Blowing a breath of fragrance, Qingmei whispered: "Master, are you sleeping now? Are you not going to fight anymore?"
Ying Chengjiao closed his eyes and said unhappily, "Fighting for nothing, you can't even stand up!"
Qingmei glanced at him seductively and licked his moist lips.
"Qingmei is best at software hardening."
What is software hardening?
Dingxiang heard some words she didn't understand and was about to ask when she saw Ying Chengjiao speaking.
Then I saw my sister Qingmei sliding into the quilt like a beautiful snake.
The quilt rises and falls.
Dingxiang's face suddenly turned red.
The decisive battle will last until dawn.
The three of them ate some food and fell into a deep sleep.
When Ying Chengjiao woke up, the rising sun in the sky had turned into the setting sun.
The maid told him that the First Emperor sent Gai Nie to find him in the afternoon and asked him to come to the palace to see him.
Ying Chengjiao reluctantly took a carriage to the Xianyang Palace.
Zhangtai Palace.
When Ying Chengjiao came in, he thought there was only Ying Zheng, but he didn't expect to see Afang as well.
Ying Chengjiao's already sad face became even sadder. He turned around and ran away, not wanting to meet these two people.
"Do you want me to go to your house again?"
"What can I do about my long-legged brother?"
Ying Chengjiao was not threatened, so he decided to hide from the First Emperor for two days.
As for the secrets of Chang'an Jun Mansion, he was confident that the First Emperor would not be able to find them out.
"Changan Jun, please go back."
Facial paralysis blocked his way, and Ying Chengjiao became furious.
"Gai Nie! You dare to stop me? You really don't care about our old friendship!"
"Chang'an Jun has great talent, he should not be so willful."
"I'm a nobody! Stop flattering me! You..."
Before Ying Chengjiao finished speaking, the only woman at the scene spoke.
"Uncle, do you not want to see His Majesty, or do you not want to see me?"
Ying Chengjiao stopped talking, pointed his finger at Gai Nie more than ten times, turned around resignedly, and sat behind the desk.
Face to face with the First Emperor and his wife, the Empress.
Gai Nie was outside the door, closing the gate of Zhangtai Palace, and Zhangtai Palace fell into silence.
The Zhangtai Palace had been cleared out, and there was not a single palace maid or eunuch left.
There was nothing on the table; all the bamboo slips that were usually piled on it were gone.
Ying Chengjiao sniffed and smelled the scent of incense.
When he looked up at the First Emperor and the Empress, he found that their clothes were new.
Then he looked up at the Emperor and the Empress' hair, and saw no traces of water droplets.
The First Emperor caught his gaze and knocked on the table to interrupt Ying Chengjiao's fantasy.
"Don't look at it. Fang'er and I have already bathed."
"Who are you trying to fool? Your hair is still dry."
The First Emperor snorted coldly.
"I bathed at 3 p.m. and asked Gai Nie to look for you at 3 p.m., but you were still not awake. Why, do I and the Queen need to bathe again in order to see you?"
"If you want to wash it, wash it again."
Ying Chengjiao knew that today's hurdle would be difficult, so he just gave up.
Bath, change clothes, and apply incense.
This is the preparation before doing something big.
The last time Emperor Qin Shi Huang did this was to change the national system.
Now the First Emperor called the Queen, and the two of them bathed, changed clothes, and burned incense together.
Judging from the specifications of the ceremony, what the First Emperor was going to do this time was even more important than changing the national system.
When the First Emperor saw Ying Chengjiao like this, his tough attitude softened and he sighed.
"You have reason to complain. If I had nearly died, I would not have performed as well as you. Don't worry, mother will not trouble you again in the future. I have already taken care of this matter."
The Queen followed suit and said, "Uncle has been greatly wronged in this matter. If you have any requests, please let me know."
Who asked you to deal with her? If you dealt with her, what excuse can I have for not going to work?
I don't feel wronged at all. I am very happy that I caught a Vietnamese girl. What do I have to feel wronged about?
Ying Chengjiao kept complaining in his heart, but of course he would not say it out loud.
If the First Emperor knew his true intention of simply giving up, he would have to work overtime for him every day.
"How did my royal brother handle it? Are you sure he won't cause me trouble again? And he did it so neatly?"
"You can relax."
Ying Chengjiao was horrified and said, "Brother, you didn't kill Zhao Xianglu, did you? She was your own mother, you are being unfilial! You are committing treason! You are a rebellious son!"
The First Emperor: ...
Is this guy possessed by Dun Ruo?
Considering that Ying Chengjiao was indeed wronged last night, the First Emperor suppressed the thought of using the King of Qin's sword to chop Ying Chengjiao.
Ying Zheng tried his best to keep a pleasant expression and said, "How could I do such a beastly thing? I just asked my mother to stay in the Xianyang Palace and not let her go out of the palace to cause trouble for you."
The horror on Ying Chengjiao's face disappeared and was replaced by contempt.
"You are amazing, my brother. You can still speak so sweetly even though you imprisoned your own mother. Isn't your behavior beastly? My brother likes fighting, so I will use fighting as an analogy. The two sides are fighting, the drums are beating, the weapons are clashing, and some soldiers are running away, abandoning their helmets and armor.
“Some stopped after running a hundred steps, and some stopped after running fifty steps.
The man who ran fifty steps laughed at the man who ran a hundred steps, saying that the man who ran a hundred steps was a deserter. My brother, do you think the man who ran fifty steps is qualified to laugh? What is the difference between you and the man who ran fifty steps?
Ying Zheng was clearly trying to clear the obstacles for Ying Chengjiao, but was ridiculed by Ying Chengjiao. He scratched with his fingers and wanted to get up to take the King of Qin's sword on the wall.
How could this guy speak so hatefully!
Just chop it up!
Just chop it up!
The queen smiled.
"This passage is from Mencius. It's good to listen to the words of Confucianism. There is one thing that Afang doesn't understand. Your Majesty is clearly doing things for your uncle, but why is your uncle not only not grateful, but so angry instead?"
"I'm not angry, I'm just scared."
You are sarcastic to me!
You are afraid of nothing, you bastard!
The First Emperor said coldly: "What are you afraid of?"
Duke Huan of Qi said to the chef Yi Ya, "I have eaten everything except human flesh." Yi Ya then killed his three-year-old son and cooked it for Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan of Qi favored Yi Ya from then on, and in his later years, Yi Ya became an important official of Qi.
"When Duke Huan of Qi was ill, Yi Ya blocked the news and ignored it until his body was infested with worms. How is your behavior different from Yi Ya's? You did this to your own mother, and you will definitely do the same to me one day."
The First Emperor stood up with an expressionless look on his face.
Take down the Qin King's sword hanging on the wall.
The King of Qin drew his sword, and the First Emperor ran towards Ying Chengjiao with the sword and slashed him.
"Why wait until later? I will kill you today!"
Ying Chengjiao dodged it in a flash and complained to Afang while running away.
"Look, sister-in-law, his true nature has been exposed! I was right! If he can do this to me today, he can do this to you tomorrow! You should divorce such a mean and ungrateful person, sister-in-law!"
"You brat! Stop right there! Don't run! I'm going to chop you to pieces today!"
"I still say the same thing, your behavior is not in compliance with Qin law. If you want to kill me, please follow Qin law and exterminate my three clans!"
Afang looked at the two brothers chasing each other, shook his head and laughed, but did not try to stop them and just sat back to watch the show.
When the First Emperor was out of breath and could no longer run, he sat next to her again.
When the First Emperor started pursuing her, Afang used the silk handkerchief in her hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
While wiping, he said to Ying Chengjiao, who was calm and collected, "Then uncle, please tell me, what should Your Majesty do?"
"Don't do anything, just pretend it didn't happen." Ying Chengjiao looked at the loving couple and said to the First Emperor earnestly, "Isn't it okay for me? You can't let your brother be labeled as unfilial because of such a small matter. Your brother is the First Emperor, a role model for the world, how can he be unfilial?"
