Chapter 248: Planning

When Su Mingjue entered the study, Rong Zheng seemed to be very busy, constantly correcting something.

Seeing him arriving, she put down the things in her hands and looked at him, a little surprised and said: "Why are you here?"

Su Mingjue raised the wine bottle in his hand, "I got a bottle of good wine, and I want to have a drink with you."

Rong Zheng smiled warmly when he heard this and said to the boy waiting aside: "Bring two wine glasses."

Su Mingjue stretched out his finger, shook it, and said to the boy: "The wine glasses are too small. I want a bowl. I can drink from the bowl ." It's enough to get up."

The young man looked at Rong Zheng after hearing this, and Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Then just obey him!"

When the young man heard this, he nodded and walked out.

Seeing that Su Mingjue's expression was not very good, Rong Zheng stood up and walked over, "What's wrong? Your face is so ugly."

Su Mingjue put the wine bottle on the round table, found a round chair and sat down. Hearing this, he said, "It's nothing. I I just suddenly felt like I had to go another way."

Rong Zheng glanced at it and calmly put the bowl of wine brought by the waiter on the table, then poured half the bowl of wine that Su Mingjue had brought and handed it over, "Yes. Are you worried about Meng Helan or Lu Shaoyu?"

Su Mingjue picked up the wine bowl and touched it with the other party. "You know it all."

Rong Zheng looked at the wine in the bowl and said, "If you mean the former, I It can only be said that your movements are so loud that it is difficult not to pay attention. If it refers to the latter, people in the capital are talking about it, so it is difficult not to know."

Su Mingjue took a sip of wine and said: "You can see it too, it seems that I have been there before. We are really playing house, so it’s no wonder that Lu Shaoyu has come in now.”

Rong Zheng took a sip of wine and said, “No, you did a good job with Meng Helan. If I hadn’t known you well, it would be difficult for ordinary people. I guess those things were all done by you, but the king's heart is unpredictable, and what you did is not enough to shake it."

Su Mingjue took another sip of wine and said: "What's the use of shaking it? Things that are inherently bad should be abandoned. The root cause is eradicated."

The words came out of Su Mingjue's mouth casually, but Rong Zheng looked at him again.

He said without changing his expression: "If that's the case, then we need to start from the root."

Su Mingjue looked at Rong Zheng seriously, "Actually, I'm here to ask you for help."

Rong Zheng replied: "I'm all ears. "

The Lixia people are making a surprise attack. Who do you think the court will send to Helan Mountain?"

Rong Zheng lowered his eyes and said, "The only generals of the Meng family who were brave and good at fighting are dead. The only one who can be sent is one from the army." "

He counted them carefully: "Liu Kang is old and can no longer go to the battlefield. His son Liu Qi is still alive, but his qualifications are mediocre. He was defeated in a battle with the Dongli people five years ago, and Liang Linyuan In the south, Wu Xia's clone, Xiahou, is okay, but he is the garrison of the capital and has always been stationed in the capital. He may not consider it. The rest are some who have never fought before. "

"My military generals are not. "Many, the Duke was blocking them before, but now it's hard to defend against the enemy without them."

Su Mingjue touched the wine bowl in his hand and said, "What do you think if Meng Helan goes up?"

"Meng Helan." Rong Zheng was startled when he heard this. , "Not to mention that he is in prison now, even he himself has never been on the battlefield. Is it too hasty to leave the fight against Lixia to him?"

Su Mingjue shook his head and said: "The generals of the Meng family are all brave. Of course, Meng Helan was good at fighting, and his knowledge in the art of war was no less than that of his uncles and brothers. "

" In previous martial arts competitions, he himself won the first place, but because of Mrs. Meng.

"His military strategy was well received by the supervisor, and his cavalry and archery skills are far better than ordinary people. Maybe you should have heard of his cavalry and archery performance in Luming Academy. " First, I have seen with my own eyes that he can shoot through the poplars with a hundred steps while blindfolded. "

And he is quick and eager to learn. In addition to reading the art of war, he also often ponders the war strategies in the Helan Mountains. In his family letters, Duke Meng and Major General. I also often mention him. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he knows much more about Helan Mountain than the average person. "

This is the first time Rong Zheng heard Su Mingjue praise others in front of him, he said. When he met Meng Helan, he was like someone he had known for a long time and knew everything about him.

He chuckled inwardly and said that he treated him the same way when he was a child, but now he probably doesn't understand himself at all.

"What do you think if Prime Minister Pei recommends Meng Helan to go to the battlefield?" He

fell into his thoughts and inevitably lost his mind.

"Rong Zheng, Rong Zheng, are you listening to me?"

Rong Zheng came back to his senses for a moment, "What were you just saying?"

"I said let Prime Minister Pei recommend Meng Helan to the battlefield."

Rong Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "This method is indeed a good idea. It's a good idea, but now that the court is treating the Meng family like this, will Meng Helan be willing? Moreover, even if he is willing, the emperor will probably have some scruples."

Su Mingjue said, "Then use the Meng family as a blackmail, so that both sides will have leverage. " After hearing this, Rong

Zheng was silent for a while, "Give me a reason."

"What?"

"Why do you suddenly want to let Meng Helan go to the battlefield?"

Su Mingjue pursed his lips and said, "This is the only way now, isn't it?"

Said: "Then have you ever thought about it. If Meng Helan fails in the battle, the Meng family will really be left with only a bunch of women and children."

Su Mingjue nodded and said, "I know, but only by giving up can you gain, isn't it?"

Su Mingjue was depressed After taking the last sip of wine, he picked up the jug and poured wine for Rong Zheng and said: "Sometimes it might be a good idea to put oneself in danger and live another life."

Rong Zheng stretched out his hand to stop him, "You are already drunk, I will help you with this matter. "Yes."

Su Mingjue's eyes blurred, "I didn't finish the drink."

Rong Zheng smiled and shook his head, taking him on his shoulders and taking him from Jinyuan to Mingyuan.

He put him on the bed, carefully took off his boots, lowered the curtains and quietly exited.

Su Xiaoliu hurried over and saw his master lying on the bed with a rosy face, waiting to step forward to check.

Rong Zheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said softly: "Let him sleep! Don't wake him up. He drank some wine at my place and is a little drunk."

After hearing this, Su Xiaoliu turned around and sent Rong Zheng out of the door, "Thank you, Mr. Rong. "

Rong Zheng nodded and walked to Jinyuan, shaking his head. In fact, he doesn't have to be like this. If there is anything, he can just tell him directly and he will help him.

After returning to Jinyuan, Rong Zheng changed his clothes, then got on the carriage and left Jinyuan.

...

Pei Mansion.

Rong Zheng got off the carriage and before knocking on the door, the housekeeper of Pei Mansion came up to him and said with joy in his eyes: "Master, you are finally back."

Rong Zheng looked calm when he heard this, "Is father at home?"

The housekeeper of Pei Mansion was excited Nodding, "Yes, the master is in the study. I will be happy to see the young master come back."

"You don't have to follow me, I will go by myself." After Rong Zheng finished speaking, he walked inside familiarly.

In the study, Pei Yi was playing chess, holding a black piece that had not been found for a long time.

Rong Zheng glanced at the chessboard and pointed to a position, "Land it here."

Pei Yi put it up after hearing the words and nodded, "This place is a little gentler, but it can be regarded as using softness to overcome strength."

After a moment, he suddenly reacted again . What? He looked up and said with a bit of joy in his eyes: "Cheng'er, why are you here?"

Rong Zheng found a chair and sat down, and said calmly: "I have something to ask you."

After hearing this, Pei Yi paused and looked. To this son whom he had not seen for a long time, he never liked to look for him, but it seemed a bit strange that he came here late at night today.

He held Bai Zi in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why did you stop me about the eldest princess? Not to mention that you, Prime Minister Pei, are afraid of a princess." Pei Yi took a fancy

to the position and dropped Bai Zi, "You have already found out."

Zheng said: "Yes, but you are still as disappointing as before."

Pei Yi's expression did not change and he said calmly: "This matter has its own destiny, you don't have to dirty your hands."

"Isn't it just a princess? You, Prime Minister Pei, are still If you don't take it seriously, who is that person sitting in that seat?"

Pei Yi stopped when he heard the words, raised his head and looked at the person in front of him who was much younger than him but very similar to his mother, "Pei Teng, be careful what you say. ! Pretend I haven't heard this before."

Rong Zheng looked at the other person's eyes carefully and saw that his expression remained unchanged. He snorted coldly: "You are still very cold-blooded."

After a moment of silence, he continued: "I will recommend you tomorrow morning. Meng Helan, go to war!"

Pei Yi looked straight at him, "What do you want to do?"

Rong Zheng lowered his eyes and did not answer directly, "Just think that you owe me."

After saying that, he glanced at the chess game and sneered. : "You've played too steadily, it's time to push forward."
