【Meng Songnian? 】
[At first, you served as a lieutenant in the Southern Army? ]
[He is good at deploying troops and training them, and he cares about his officers and men. He enjoys a high reputation among the army and the people living on the border?]
[How could the emperor let such an outstanding person resign? ]
[Although he was a lieutenant, he was young at the time and had not yet been promoted to general. So, your father was not aware of his abilities, but only had an impression of him when he was promoted?]
[A general would not easily leave the battlefield, so why would he resign? ]
[Because at that time, the Queen Mother had already sent Xu Min, Zhang Qingping and others to place her own people in the military camp...]
[These people were servile in front of the Queen Mother, but when they arrived at the local area, they took advantage of the power of others to suppress the soldiers and treat them harshly. Apart from verbal threats, their basic living could not be guaranteed...]
[Back then, Meng Songnian came into conflict with the newly appointed military governor in order to protect the soldiers who were being bullied. He was also given a letter by the military governor asking him to attend a meeting at the Ministry of War...]
[Meng Songnian was suspended from salary for a year, and in a fit of anger, he resigned from the army? ]
[I feel like someone who deserves such high prestige wouldn’t be so impulsive...]
The system confirmed Jun Baozhu's judgment and said:
[After systematic testing, your thinking level has improved and now reaches the level of a ten-year-old child.]
[Your analysis is correct. Meng Songnian's impulsive behavior was indeed intentional.]
Jun Baozhu exclaimed in surprise:
[Intentional?]
[At that time, the old general of the Southern Army had a clear understanding of the situation and perhaps saw clearly the future trend of the army...]
[For a period of time, villains like the governor will gain power. ]
[Since they came from the imperial court, they must have someone backing them up, which is why they are so unscrupulous.]
[He doesn't even take the old general of the Southern Army seriously. One can guess how powerful the force behind him is...]
[The old general said that to clash with them would be like hitting a rock with an egg.]
[From the letters from his family in Beijing, the old general also gained insight into the changes in the positions of ministers in the court...]
[Knowing that there is the Queen Mother behind this, and the Queen Mother is the father's biological mother. The father is obedient to the Queen Mother, not to say that he obeys her orders, but he almost obeys her in everything...]
【Knowing that there is no solution to this problem for the time being, the old general advised Meng Songnian to withdraw in time to save himself.】
[But the old general asked Meng Songnian to promise that one day, when Dafeng needed him and the wise master called him, he would come out without hesitation.]
[Meng Songnian, did you agree? ]
【What happened next? 】
[In less than two years, the old general died suddenly. He never woke up in the military camp? He died just like that?]
[His death, no doubts?]
【When the emperor heard about this, he was also very shocked and ordered the Ministry of War to conduct a thorough investigation and give preferential treatment to the family members?】
[What happened next? In the end, the Ministry of War concluded that the old general died suddenly due to overwork? ]
【Why am I so unconvinced? 】
[What? The old general predicted his own death? ]
[At first, he advised Meng Songnian to leave, but Captain Meng was worried about the old general and refused...]
[But the old general was frank and said that according to his judgment, his presence would definitely block the power of the Queen Mother's faction.]
[No one is more familiar with the armies of Nanchi and Xiangshan than him. Regardless of their military prestige and capabilities, with him around, even if the Queen Mother wants to place someone in the position, there will be a lot of doubts.]
【Therefore, the old general asserted that this roadblock would definitely be removed. 】
[After hearing this, Meng Songnian became even more unwilling to leave, but the old general entrusted him with the lives of his family members, and Meng Songnian finally compromised.]
[One year after the old general passed away, the whole family left Beijing and headed for their hometown...]
[In fact, Meng Songnian took over halfway through, and regarded the general's wife as his own mother, and Meng Songnian's children as brothers and sisters, and they lived happily together.]
[Although Meng Songnian did not explain the cause of the old general's death to his family, the general's wife once confessed to Meng Songnian that the old general had left her a last word...]
