    The two chatted, and Xu Yan led Meng Ju through the main entrance, passed through a series of buildings such as the main hall, the second gate, the cloister, and the garden, and led him into a courtyard next to the garden.

    "General, this is the guest room of the house. It is specially used when distinguished guests come over. Although the conditions are simple, the room is still clean. General, take a look and if there is anything missing, just tell the person in charge."

    Meng Ju looked around his temporary residence and saw that the courtyard was clean and tidy, the attic was brand new, and servants and maids were waiting in front of the courtyard door.  He nodded and said in praise: "This courtyard is very nice. I'm sorry for your trouble, Your Majesty. But there are two other things that I still want to trouble Your Majesty."

    "General, just say it's okay?"

    "I came from the north, and I brought with me some of my usual servants and belongings. They are all still on the boat, waiting for news. I would like to ask the Crown Prince to send someone over to inform them and lead them across here to meet me."

    Xu Yan didn¡¯t think it was different.  When he thought about it, it was normal for an important minister like Meng Ju to have a large number of servants around him. He agreed immediately: "It's easy. I'll just send a carriage to pick them up. What else can I do?"

    "One more thing, although I am a martial artist, I also like to read some books in my spare time. I wonder if the prince can lend me the books in the palace to read?"

    Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, with a look of shame on his face: "This it will make the general laugh when I say it, because I don't have this ambition, my library at home is not rich, and there are very few classics and classics. I wonder what book the general wants to read?"

    "I don't need any specific classics. I just want to read some historical books about the previous Liu Han dynasty, whether official history, unofficial history, or even anecdotes. As long as they are historical books about the Liu Han Dynasty."

    Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's not too biased classics, then it's no problem. Books like "Hanshu", "Luoyang Chronicles", "Biographies of Emperors of the Han Dynasty", and "Liu Han Chronicles" are still available at home.  I will order my subordinates to bring it to the general."

    Seeing Meng Ju tired from the journey.  Xu Yan, the prince of Boyang Hou, left after chatting for a while.  The housekeeper from the guest house came up to ask Meng Ju if he wanted to have dinner. Meng Ju said tiredly, "There's no need for dinner. I'll take a bath first."

    Meng Ju finished his bath and washed away the dust and fatigue.  After putting on clean clothes, I felt relaxed all over.  He walked into the bedroom and saw that the bed in the bedroom had been neatly arranged, and there was a stack of books on the table beside the bed.  There were several lighted oil lamps left on the desk.  Meng Ju casually flipped through the books, which were all about the Liu Han Dynasty that Xu Yan had just mentioned.

    The housekeeper followed Meng Ju respectfully and said, "General Meng, these books were sent by the Crown Prince just now, saying that you wanted them."

    Meng Ju nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Butler, I don't need anyone to wait on you here. I will rest after reading the book. You should also go out and have a rest."

    The housekeeper retreated as instructed and closed the door outside.

    Meng Ju sat down at the desk, lighting the dim oil lamp.  He carefully flipped through several history books of Liu Han.

    After a long time, Meng Ju sighed: "Sure enough no."

    He stood up.  He opened the window, looked at the high and deep sky and the stars on the horizon, and breathed out.

    My vague memory did not deceive myself. In the end, the Liu Han Dynasty went through twenty-three emperors, but Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not exist among them.  Although Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Yuan of Han also existed in Liu Han, although the emperors had the same titles, the deeds of these emperors were very different from the history that Meng Ju knew.  Similarly, in the history of this world, there is no trace of the existence of Ban Biao, Chen Tang and others.

    In later generations, some people listed the inscription of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty on the Hu stele as one of the most heroic declarations in Chinese history. The legendary inscription is "Everything that the sun and the moon shine on, and wherever the rivers go, are the ministers and concubines of my great Khan."  ", reading between the lines, the imperial domineering power at its peak left a deep impression on Meng Ju.

    For this reason, Meng Ju also checked the book specifically for this purpose, and found out that the Han Dynasty Xuanding Hu stele has not yet been found. The existence of this stele is still doubtful, but there is indeed such a saying in the "Book of the Later Han": "Han Bing  With prestige, he leads all nations, and the sun and moon shine on them, and they are all his concubines." But in this world, Ban Biao, who presented this memorial to Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty, does not exist.

    Also, what Emperor Renxing yelled when he was drunk: "Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is." Similarly, Meng Ju could not find any record of Chen Tang in several books recording the history of Liu Han just now.  The deeds and the heroic words that will be passed down through the ages also left no trace.

    During the discussion, Meng Ju didn't pay attention when he heard Li Gongwei's heroic words, but after being reminded by Su Moyu, he realized the fact: Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not exist in the history of Liu Han. Not only was there no Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but even Liu Han  The history of the Han Dynasty is completely different from the history of the Western Han Dynasty that he knows. Li Gongwei has no reason to know that these sentences have no meaning in their history.The rhetoric of existence.

    Looking at the far-reaching starry sky, Meng Ju's eyes gradually blurred. He was thinking nervously, is it possible that this is a coincidence?  Then, he shook his head: It couldn't be a coincidence.  Li Gongwei's coincidence happened once, and Meng Ju could still think of him as a natural talent, self-taught without a teacher, but if it happened twice, it couldn't be an accident.

    Meng Ju thought of many people's comments about Emperor Renxing. Whether it was Ye Jianxin, Mr. Wen, or Murong Yi, they all had a common point of view: "The Southern Emperor acted eclectically, like a flying horse flying in the air.  try to figure out."

    It should be a joy to meet people from the same era in this world, just like meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign country thousands of miles away. But if this fellow countryman is not only your boss but also the emperor of a country, this is a blessing.  It is really difficult to judge whether it is a disaster.

    The most difficult thing to predict is the emperor's heart. Accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger.

    Meng Ju understood very well: Compared with the simple-minded ancients, the people of his time were more cunning, more cruel, more utilitarian, more shameless, and more unscrupulous.

    Just like Mr. Wen, Meng Ju's chief staff officer, his level of strategy is already outstanding in this era. However, Meng Ju feels that there is still a gap between him and himself. This does not mean that Mr. Wen's strategy is not as good as his own.  , but the accumulation of thousands of years of civilization history and the experience of struggle tempered over time.

    No matter how smart the ancients were, they had their own limitations. In contrast, modern people act without any scruples: they are not afraid of heaven and earth, they are not afraid of predecessors, they are not greedy for false fame, they are not afraid of ghosts and gods, and they ignore the principles and ethics, just for the sake of victory.  Such an emperor can do anything.  It's obviously scarier.

    If Emperor Renxing knew.  They are also words from later generations.  So how will he react?

    Or, Emperor Renxing would trust him and make him his only confidant in his life, and he would reuse and support him.  Emperor Renxing was included.  With Meng Ju outside, the two teamed up to unify the Central Plains, conquer the barbarians, and create a prosperous Tang Dynasty.  Let the glory of Chinese civilization arrive a thousand years earlier?

    Or, in order to keep the secret, Emperor Renxing tried every means to get rid of himself, the only person who knew his origins?

    It¡¯s all possible.

    Meng Ju really couldn't guess what kind of reaction the other party would make.  Thinking of having to face such an immediate boss day and night in the future, and having to take great pains to cover up his words and deeds so as not to reveal any flaws, Meng Ju couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly felt regret in his heart.

    He stood in front of the window and looked at the night sky, letting the cool night wind blow, and there were many distracting thoughts in his heart, but he did not feel sleepy for a long time.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took.  Meng Ju was awakened by a knock on the door, and he turned around: "Who is it?"

    "Boss. It's me."

    Meng Ju breathed a sigh of relief. He went over and opened the door, and a short and fat figure quickly flashed in. It was Liu Zhen.

    Fatty Liu wiped his forehead covered with oil and sweat. He lifted up his clothes, revealing his smooth round belly. He gasped and shouted: "It's so hot to death. It's so hot to death. It's really hot here in Nanmanzi."  It's so hot. Hey, Boss Meng, are you okay? You look so bad, is there nothing wrong?"

    Meng Ju smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine. Fatty, are all the brothers here?"

    Fatty Liu went to sit on Meng Ju's bed, and the bed suddenly sank.  He said: "Everyone is here. The people from the Boyang Hou Mansion will inform us of your order, boss, and we will all come over. Everyone has settled in this courtyard. Everything is going well. Send me here to talk to the boss.  You report it."

    "That's good. Brothers have been working hard these days on the road. Now that we are at the end of the field, we might as well take a good rest. If you need food and supplies, just ask the people in Boyanghou Mansion directly. If there is any trouble,  Just tell me straight."

    "Boss, don't worry. The people in Boyanghou Mansion are very polite. They actively provide food, accommodation and food. Their attitude is very good. However, we are still wearing thick spring clothes from the north. The sun is strong and the climate is hot here in Jiangdu.  I'm thinking, should we change into some cooler clothes?"

    "It's up to you, fat man, to make the decision on this matter. Tomorrow, ask people from Boyang Mansion to lead the way and take the brothers to the streets to buy some fresh and cool clothes. Dress decently and don't make others laugh. Also, it's done.  Afterwards, find a restaurant on the street and treat the people of Boyang Mansion to a meal, Fatty, don¡¯t frown, after all it¡¯s us who are bothering them, so we should express our gratitude, and there¡¯s no need to save these small sums of money.¡±

    "Understood. By the way, boss, how is Southern Tang going to arrange for you? Isn't it just going to keep you living in Boyang Hou's house like this?"

    "That's not true. Living in the Boyang Marquis Mansion is only temporary. Today I have met with Emperor Renxing. His Majesty personally granted me the title of Marquis and also gave us a mansion. It's just that the house still needs to be tidied up and cleaned.  It will probably take two days to get it."

      Fatty Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. We have our own place to live. It's really inconvenient to live under someone else's roof. Although the people in Boyanghou Mansion are very polite, we are always watched by them when we come in and out like this. Many of them  Everything is really inconvenient, for example, I have to go out to make contacts"

    He wanted to say more, but Meng Ju warned him with a stern look, and he stopped involuntarily.

    Meng Ju stood up, opened the window and looked around. He saw that the night was lonely and the garden was empty.  He closed the window again, returned to the room, sat side by side with Liu Zhen, and asked in a low voice: "Northern side, is there any news?"

    Infected by Meng Ju's nervousness, Liu Zhen also lowered his voice: "Boss, the news is here. There is indeed movement from the Ye family. Ten days ago, one of their teams left Fusui's manor and was heading southeast.  . There were several sedan chairs in the team, and the Ye family was very tightly guarded. There were more than 200 Tsing Yi warriors alone, and there should be many Mingjue masters hidden there. I thought, this team should be for weddings.  Team up.

    Boss, they should arrive at Sizhou now.  Boss, we can no longer hesitate. If the Ye family joins forces with Southern Tang's troops, things will be difficult to handle.  "

    Hearing the news, Meng Juzhong felt a flash of cold light. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.  After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Fat man, you immediately send people north, take my handwritten letter, notify the Montenegrin Army's troops, and ask them to intercept immediately and let the Montenegrin Brigade come to do it.  Let the Murong family take the blame!

    Inform Jiang Hai that his men and horses serve as a reserve team, preparing to intercept reinforcements from the Ye family or the Murong family and prevent the Ye family from escaping, but they must remember one thing: no matter what, they must not hurt Miss Ye Zijun.  "
