The Village Doctress Chapter 970: The path of a villain
After the Great Wei and the Little Emperor took power, he was more cunning than before, and his means of balancing the court became more and more powerful.
The so-called emperor's mind, the little emperor seems to be born very powerful.
Meng Bufan believes that if the emperor is strong, the courtiers should show weakness appropriately.
What's more, the biggest reason why he took over the government of the Great Wei Dynasty before the little emperor was fledgling was Lin Fufu.
He wanted to share the burden for her. Now that the little emperor has grown up, his idea is that it's time for him to retire.
It's just that the right minister, Wen Shengyi, has become more and more powerful, and the little emperor has more and more trust and support for him, and his private actions have become more and more arrogant.
When Zhuang Rui was pregnant with their first child, Wen Shengyi was just like the little emperor who proposed to retire. The reason was that he had been injured in battles for many years when he was young, and he wanted to rest his body.
But in order to balance the court situation, the little emperor rejected Meng Bufan's invitation to serve as an official, and invited Meng Bufan to have a long talk with him for a long time.
If the emperor forbids it, Meng Bufan can only continue to be the prime minister.
Wen Shengyi's faction was ready to replace Meng Bufan's position as left prime minister, but in the end they fell short and were very disappointed.
But they are not reconciled.
With Wen Shengyi turning a blind eye, people in Wen Shengyi's faction went around spreading the secret that Meng Bufan had a special liking for Lin Fufu, the noble eldest princess who was married to Beirong affair.
Although such rumors were well known to those in court, because of their respect for the Meng family and Meng Bufan and his son, no one has ever said such things in the open.
Nowadays, there are gossips like this in the streets and alleys of the capital, which annoys Meng Bufan very much.
There is no concession to Wen Shengyi.
It was Zhuang Rui who caught Meng Bufan by surprise.
Perhaps because of the pregnancy, Zhuang Rui's personality has become sensitive and irritable.
Because of her pregnancy, the entire Meng family protected her like a baby. She was unhappy because of Meng Bufan's past, and the Meng family's hearts were always on their minds.
It's not Meng Bufan who hates Wen Shengyi the most, but old Prime Minister Meng and the old lady.
Old Prime Minister Meng began to use the power of the Meng family to secretly deal with Wen Shengyi, and Meng Bufan also turned a blind eye to these things.
He remembered that after Lin Fufu met Wen Shengyi for a while, he disliked him, so there was a reason.
On this day, Wen Shengyi invited Meng Bufan to drink tea.
Meng Bufan went, and he took Zhuang Rui with him, but he had someone protect Zhuang Rui in advance to drink tea, and he stayed next door to where he and Wen Shengyi drank tea.
The youngest left and right of the two great Weis met each other. They were warm on the surface, but they were tense in secret.
Wen Shengyi is wearing exquisite and luxurious regular clothes at the moment. He is slightly fatter, but he is still handsome and elegant.
The experience and suffering of the Wen family left no trace on him.
He has a high position and authority now, and the little emperor even relies on him more than Meng Bufan, and it can be seen from his face that he is full of vigor and grace, as if he was born again.
In addition, the stepmother he remarried gave him two sons in succession over the years, and the Wen family finally stood up again at this moment.
There are only two people he always holds grudges against, and those people are Lin Fufu and Meng Bufan.
What happened to the Wen family was caused by these two people.
He must avenge the Wen family.
This is just the beginning...
"Master Zuo Xiang is well. Recently, Wen heard from His Majesty that you are going to be an official. Although His Majesty has rejected you, he is very worried, so I asked Wen to persuade you in private, and you must not have such plans in the future. It's gone." Wen Shengyi said in an official tone, looking at Meng Bufan's elegant and indifferent handsome face with subtle eyes.
Meng Bufan drank tea calmly and did not immediately respond to what he said.
Wen Shengyi was not annoyed, and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, I still hope that our two friends who are similar in age will get along well and help Your Majesty manage this great Wei Jiangshan together!"
Wen Shengyi's words seem to be nothing, but the cleverness hidden in his words can be said to be very powerful.
Meng Bufan frowned slightly, and a faint sarcasm appeared on Jun's face.
"Wen Youxiang's official position is getting higher and higher, and this person is becoming more and more impatient. Your Majesty is talented enough to manage the great Wei Dynasty. Why use me and you to assist?"
As soon as Meng Bufan said this, a stern look quickly appeared in Wen Shengyi's eyes.
"What Mr. Zuoxiang said is that after all, Wen is not as profound as Mr. Zuoxiang... His temper is too straightforward. His Majesty just passed on Wen as he said. It is a sin!"
Meng Bufan raised his eyebrows lightly, but did not comment.
Wen Shengyi failed at one plan, and was not disappointed and angry. He continued: "Master Zuoxiang is entangled in rumors and gossips outside, is he very troubled? But find out who spread the rumors and corrupted Mr. Zuoxiang and the heavens." Your reputation as the Eldest Princess?"
Here it is, Meng Bufan has been waiting for this.
Therefore, he put down the teacup, and looked at the malicious Wen Shengyi with clear eyes.
"What? Listen to Prime Minister Wen You, if it is found out who is deliberately spreading rumors behind the scenes, you want to take care of the people behind the scenes for the truth?" Meng Bufan asked quietly.
His clear eyes made Wen Shengyi feel oppressed for no reason, Wen Shengyi lowered his head, and pretended to smile, "If that's the case, it's okay for Wen to take care of the people behind the scenes for Mr. Zuoxiang. Only Wen thought that if this matter was found out, His Majesty would have to ask His Majesty to show it. After all, this has something to do with the reputation of Princess Tiangui."
The elegance and indifference on Meng Bufan's face was gone, his face turned cold, and his eyes became sharper.
"If it is true that Truth admired Her Royal Highness Tiangui Dachang Princess when she was young, it can only be said that Tiangui Dachang Princess deserves the admiration of all talented men in Wei, so how does it involve the issue of reputation?"
Meng Bufan never felt that his admiration for a woman worthy of his admiration had anything to do with his reputation.
What makes him angry is that someone shamelessly wants to use this issue to hurt the woman he once loved deeply and the woman he loves deeply now.
"The people behind this scene have sinister intentions, and the truth must be found out." Meng Bufan's voice was forceful, "It's just the madam who wants to use this incident to stimulate the truth. He thinks he's doing a very subtle job? What does Wen Youxiang think of the behavior of a villain?"
After Meng Bufan finished speaking, he looked at Wen Shengyi fixedly, clearly knowing that Wen Shengyi was the one behind the scenes, but he didn't tell the truth.
Wen Sheng's hands trembled in anger, but he was so aggrieved that he couldn't tear his face directly.
"I came to see you today, but I just wanted to let Mrs. Zhen know that someone deliberately used the past to achieve shady goals." Meng Bufan finally named his purpose of coming to see Wen Shengyi. , I stood up and said, "I'm busy with the truth, so I'll leave!"
As soon as he came out, he ran into Zhuang Rui with a big belly supporting his waist at the door. The sweetness on Zhuang Rui's face at this moment was completely different from the melancholy of those few days.
Because she understood that her husband cared about her, she brought her here to listen to their conversation. At the same time, she was very curious about the noble eldest princess whom her husband had admired, and wanted to see her very much. One side...
