A fierce look flashed in Lianyi's eyes. This dog emperor felt that his position was secure, so he began to think about taking back the military power of the Meng family. This time, the invasion of the Qiang Wolf Tribe gave him the opportunity to use the opponent's strength to his advantage.
Those rumors that were unfavorable to the Meng family must have spread with his tacit approval, otherwise how could those words reach the harem at this critical moment.
Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related, so Lianyi took the lead in expressing her position. After all, General Meng was very receptive to advice. After receiving the letter she brought back, he started to take action. Now the deputy general of the garrison in the suburban camp was promoted by General Meng.
As an emperor, he naturally didn't want his rule to change dynasties after a hundred years, but his three children all had the blood of the Meng family. If he was unable to have another child, he would probably have appointed another prince. But now the emperor had no choice but to avoid these risks in advance.
Lianyi also didn't want the Meng family to get involved in the imperial power. She was not the daughter of the Meng family, and she didn't even have any relationship with them. But this didn't prevent her from using the Meng family to secure her position as queen and let her son inherit the throne smoothly.
She was a bit lazy to begin with, and with the emperor taking care of government affairs, she was content with her quiet life and only needed to raise her three children well. However, the dog emperor actually dared to set a trap for her, so she must fight back, and the easiest way was to make the emperor shut up completely.
Lianyi was very sure that Cuizhu would not survive more than three months if she entered the harem, so she simply issued a task and went to reincarnate. In fact, to be honest, Lianyi prefers to do tasks that only require hands-on work. This kind of task that requires thinking and maintaining the character, so it is sometimes a bit frustrating.
After sleeping on the floor for a night, the emperor's head hurt even more. He started to have a fever after the morning court session and had to summon the imperial physician. Naturally, Lianyi took the three children to take care of them and to make her presence felt at the same time.
The three children's classes were temporarily suspended, and their study companions did not have to go to the palace. As a result, the carriage that Zhao Sihao was riding in to leave the palace was suddenly startled and crashed directly into the palace gate. Zhao Sihao was thrown out of the carriage, and his legs were crushed by the wheels when he fell out.
Hongji specifically explained the situation to Lianyi, and went to Zhao Jiji's residence with his guards and imperial physician to visit Zhao Sihao.
Lianyi glanced at her adopted son and said nothing more. She gave Hongji her badge and said calmly:
"People who are sick are a little sensitive. Be careful with your words and don't let them get angry with you."
"Yes, mother, I will remember this."
Hongji brought a group of people to visit his study partner in a grand manner, which made Zhao Jiji flattered and he personally welcomed Hongji into the mansion.
"Is the eldest prince here to visit Hao'er?"
"Yes, Zhao Jijiu, how is Sihao doing now? I have also brought Dr. Sun who treated him before with me to check on Sihao."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for caring about me."
Zhao Jijiu immediately thanked him and then led everyone to Zhao Sihao’s residence in the backyard.
Zhao Sihao's face was pale at this time. He couldn't sleep all night because of the pain of his broken leg. He just drank some porridge reluctantly and lay decadently on the bed. He knew that his life was over.
When he heard his personal maid come to report that the eldest prince came to visit him, his eyes lit up.
"Grand Prince"
Zhao Sihao only said three words before his eyes turned red. He struggled to sit up and salute, but was stopped by the eldest prince.
"Sihao, don't get up. Just lie down and talk."
Immediately, a eunuch brought a stool over for the eldest prince to sit on.
"I've brought the imperial physician with me to take a look at the injury on your leg. Don't worry, you can still be my study partner after you recover."
Hongji soothed.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Sihao will recover from his injuries and return to your side as soon as possible."
Zhao Sihao immediately expressed his loyalty.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
After the eldest prince had dealt with the aftermath and appeasement matters, he returned to the palace and told Lianyi about the incident in detail.
"How do you use this method?"
Ripple asked after taking a sip of her tea.
"I want to make a quick decision. Zhao Sihao is one way in front of me and another in front of others. He has bullied children of the same age by relying on my power. Now he can only do this because of his young age. When he is more mature in the future, he will definitely make bigger troubles. By then, people will remember me instead of him. I don't want to take the blame for him."
The eldest prince replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Well, but you have to know that Zhao Jijiu is the emperor's man."
Ripple reminded.
The eldest prince frowned and looked at his mother in surprise, unable to conceal his surprise.
"Yes, it's what you think."
"Mother."
"Don't worry, your mother has already helped you deal with what you did this time. Don't be so reckless next time."
"Yes, I thank you, mother."
"I have already found a reason to replace Lele who was beside Yunshan. You should test the people you need to be around yourself in the future. The Queen Mother does not want another Zhao Sihao to appear."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
When the rumors about General Meng disappeared, good news came from the border. The Meng army won three consecutive victories and temporarily curbed the attack momentum of the Qiang Wolf Tribe. It seems that General Meng has the advantage at the moment.
The emperor was very pleased and in a good mood that day. He specially found Lianyi to have a couple of drinks.
The war at the border lasted for half a year, and it was only extended because of General Meng's deliberate control. If there was no control, the war would have ended in only three months.
General Meng did this in order to gain opportunities for actual combat for the generals he trained and to accumulate military merits. Only in this way could he recommend them for promotions.
General Meng himself just stayed in the rear to command the battle, and made good battle reports to the people sent by the Ministry of War, so that the emperor could know clearly where every penny was spent.
After the report of the complete victory over the Qiang Wolf Tribe was sent back to the Imperial City, the Emperor said three good words in a row and announced to the world that their Great Saint Dynasty had won this battle. As the leading general, General Meng had to return to the Imperial City to receive his reward and express his gratitude.
At this time, he had already arranged the affairs in the army. He was very clear that after entering the imperial city this time, he would probably not be able to return to the border town, so he asked Xia Meng to take his place temporarily and guard the border. His eldest son also stayed with him, and he only brought his second son into the imperial city.
Mrs. Meng wanted to follow, but was stopped by General Meng:
"The emperor summoned me to the palace to receive the reward, but there is a time limit. Shen'er and I must rush to the imperial city within 20 days. With your current physical condition, you simply cannot keep up. Moreover, the people entering the palace this time are all generals, all men, and they do not bring their families with them. As a general, I am no exception."
Mrs. Meng then gave up the idea, but she was still unwilling in her heart.
After dealing with these matters, General Meng set off with his men.
Lianyi, who was far away in the imperial city, also received the news. She just asked Nanny Sun beside her to clean up a three-courtyard courtyard in the imperial city in advance so that the generals from the border would have a place to stay. Of course, in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, she used the emperor's name.
