Twelve years ago, 70,000 Red Flame troops were killed by traitors and the whole army was wiped out. Mei Ling died unjustly, and only Marshal Lin Shu survived by chance.Twelve years later, Lin Shu transformed into Qilin Talent Mei Changsu, established the Jiangzuo Alliance, and returned to the imperial capital as the number one talent in Nirvana in Fire%.
Bearing a blood feud, Mei Changsu secretly helped his former best friend Prince Jing to deal with the struggle between the crown prince and Prince Yu. At the same time, he met his former fiancée, Princess Mu Nihuang of Princess Yunnan, but could not meet her.Mei Changsu used his frail body to clear up the injustice and revitalize the country, embarking on a dark and thrilling road to seize the throne.
The tragic battlefield, the bloody shirt, and the scarred figure of my father.“Xiaoshu, live on, for the Red Flame Army, live on”... Mei Changsu once again woke up from the nightmare of the bloody battle in Meiling 12 years ago. He touched the word “Lin” engraved on the Red Flame Army's bracelet.I couldn't calm down and was silent for a long time.Lin Chen, the master of Langya Pavilion in Daliang, received the news that the sixth prince with no background and the weakest power in Beiyan was canonized as the prince.At the same time, Prince Yu of Daliang, who was patrolling Jiangzuo, and the prince in the capital learned at the same time that the sixth prince stood out because he had obtained “ of the unicorn talents in Langya Pavilion's bag, and he had obtained ” of the world's secrets.
Emperor Liang was already very old.The Crown Prince and Prince Yu have been competing for the throne for many years, and both sides are evenly matched and locked in a stalemate.King Yu made a meritorious inspection on Jiangzuo, and Emperor Liang wanted to confer him the title of Prince of Qizhu, which made the prince even more worried. King Yu once again killed the assassin sent by the prince, knowing that he and the prince were already at odds, and if he did not advance, he would die.
Prince Yu and the prince's cronies Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of Tianquan Villa, went to Langya Pavilion to inquire about the identity of Qilin Talent, and learned that Qilin Talent was Mei Changsu, known as the leader of Nirvana in Fire and the plum man of Jiangzuo.In order to win over this person first, the prince and Prince Yu sent people to visit him with great courtesy.
Zhuo Qingyao, Zhuo Qingyao, the eldest son of Zhuo, escorted an old couple who sued Qingguo's family to Beijing. They were chased by Ji Ying, the leader of the Shuangsha Gang, and accidentally broke into the territory of the Jiangzuo Alliance.Mei Changsu arrived with his personal bodyguard Fei Liu and stopped Ji Ying.The Zhuo family sent the old couple safely to Yushitai Mansion Office.
Xiao Jingrui, the eldest son of Marquis Ning Guo, and his friend Yan Yujin, the son of his uncle Guofu, are preparing to take their friend Mei Changsu to Beijing to recuperate.While wandering around Langzhou, I met an envoy from Dayu who came to Beijing by chance. He talked about the bloody battle between Daliang and Dayu in Meiling 12 years ago.
In the Jiangzuo Alliance, Mei Changsu told Lin Chen that he had decided to follow Xiao Jingrui to Beijing, live in the Ningguo Palace, and start implementing the long-planned event.Lin Chen checked Mei Changsu's pulse, but the situation was not optimistic.Lin Chen stopped Mei Changsu from entering the capital.Mei Changsu said he couldn't wait any longer and asked Lin Chen to find a way to maintain his life for two years, which made Lin Chen feel helpless.
Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin walked to the gate of Jinling City and stepped on the old ground again. Mei Changsu looked at each other from a distance and was filled with emotion.At this time, Princess Mu Nihuang returned to the capital and arrived at the city gate.She competed with Xiao and Yan and praised them for their progress.Mei Changsu peeked behind the sedan curtain for a long time but did not show up.
In Ning Guohou's mansion, Mei Changsu moved in under the pseudonym Su Zhe.Ning Guogong Xie Yu met Mei Changsu for the first time, and he recalled the old friend and felt like he had seen her before.
In the palace, Emperor Liang is preparing to build a competition arena for Nihuang to choose his son-in-law under the Yingfeng Tower.Nihuang proposed to compete with the top ten literary test winners one by one, and the winner was selected, which was approved by Emperor Liang.Emperor Liang summoned Xia Dong, the mirror envoy of the Xuanjing Division, and sent him to Binzhou with a secret edict to investigate the case of Qingguo Gong's relatives invading the land.
Nihuang and Xia Dong were old acquaintances in the military, and they had a deep love for each other.Because Xia Dong could not remember that her husband Nie Feng was killed by Lin's coach, he was very worried about Nihuang abiding by his old engagement with Lin, but he still hoped that Nihuang would find happiness.Nihuang told Xia Dong that the emperor had other intentions. If he could not choose the right husband this time, he would be in trouble.
In the palace, Emperor Liang was very pleased to learn that in addition to Southern Chu, all the surrounding countries were interested in marrying Princess Nihuang.It turned out that after Nihuang's brother Mu Qing took charge of the Yunnan palace, Emperor Liang was still worried that Nihuang's prestige in the south was too high. The world only knew King Mu but not King Liang, so he wanted to marry Nihuang to weaken the Mu family's military power in the south.
King Yu selected two contestants to participate in Princess Nihuang's competition to choose a son-in-law to strengthen the military. However, they were defeated by Meng Zhi, the commander of the Forbidden Army and the second-place finisher in Nirvana in Fire, and were reprimanded by King Yu.King Yu couldn't find Mei Changsu, so he was worried that the prince would get there first.
Fei Liu, who is mentally retarded but has excellent martial arts skills, was playing in the Hou Mansion, which attracted Meng Zhi, who came to talk about the matter.Fei Liu's skill aroused Xie Yu's suspicion, so that both the prince and King Yu knew that Su Zhe was Mei Changsu, a talented Qilin scholar.King Yu wanted to invite the Queen to see Mei Changsu first.Xie Yu advised the prince: He is either a friend or an enemy. If he cannot get Mei Changsu, he will be eradicated immediately.
Nihuang saw off Xia Dong, exhorted each other, and happened to meet Prince Jing, Xiao Jingyan, who was returning to camp after changing defenses.Xia Dong believed that when the Xuanjing Division investigated Chi Yan's case, the evidence of Lin's rebellion was conclusive, but Prince Jing never believed it and made sarcastic remarks when they met. Therefore, there was a deep gap between the two in the past ten years.Xia Dong also persuaded Nihuang not to trust her brother Lin Shu and miss her life.Nihuang didn't answer silently, and the two of them insisted on seeing each other.
Prince Jing is aloof and stubborn. Although he has made many military achievements, he has been neglected by Emperor Liang for many years and has not yet been crowned prince.King Jing had an audience with the emperor and waited outside the palace for more than an hour before Emperor Liang remembered him.Because he did not change his uniform and had a stubborn temper, he was criticized by the prince and the emperor.
In the Xie Mansion, the second son Xie Bi was instructed by King Yu to mediate and invite the queen and Nihuang to visit the Ningguo Hou Mansion with the intention of wooing Mei Changsu. However, he was blocked by Xiao Jingrui, who was upright and did not want his friends to be in a dilemma.
The competition for marriage officially begins.Mu Qing, the young prince of Yunnan, is quite worried about his sister's marriage.Mei Changsu was very relieved to see their deep love as brother and sister.The prince and Prince Yu came to Mei Changsu's tent together, vying to please this talented Qilin scholar.
The Empress Dowager summoned him.Before entering the palace, Mei Changsu told Fei Liu to be obedient, saying that she was the kindest grandma in the world.The Empress Dowager, who was too old to remember who was who, asked Jingrui, Yujin and others one by one.When he called Mei Changsu in front of him, he actually called out “Xiaoshu”'s name.She called Nihuang in front of her again and asked when they would get married.Onlookers thought the Empress Dowager was confused.Mei Changsu knelt in front of her with mixed emotions.When the Empress Dowager retorted to the Empress: Aren't they engaged? Hearing this, Mei Changsu's heart surged and she grabbed Nihuang's hand.Nihuang had doubts in her heart, but Mei Changsu's clever words covered her up when she tested them.
Mei Changsu happily strolled with Nihuang in the palace. He cherished the time spent with Nihuang very much.While the two were chatting, they met the father-in-law who was scolding Youting's little criminal slave.
The young slave whom the father-in-law spanked was a court student whom Prince Jing had been caring for privately.Nihuang and Prince Jing rushed over to scold her father-in-law.11-year-old Tingsheng loves reading.Mei Changsu saw King Jing's special care for Tingsheng, promised to teach Tingsheng to study, and proactively promised King Jing to find a way to rescue Tingsheng.
Nihuang's younger brother Mu Qing was worried that his sister would be deceived by Mei Changsu, so he sent someone to investigate the merits of his martial arts, but Meng Zhi shouted back.It turns out that Meng Zhi is an old subordinate of Chi Yan. Although he has not met Mei Changsu in the past 12 years, the two of them have been sending messages to each other, and they have already recognized Mei Changsu as Lin Shu as early as in Ningguo Duke's Mansion.He knew in the letter that Lin Shu's appearance had changed drastically due to injury, but he didn't expect that he was completely unrecognizable and it was difficult to distinguish his true appearance.Meng Zhi visited Snow Lodge at night.Mei Changsu was worried about implicating the Meng family and discouraged Meng Zhi.But Meng Zhi deeply believed in the loyalty of the Lin family and was determined to help him succeed.When asked about the unjust case of Mei Ling, Mei Changsu fell into painful memories.He only told Meng Zhi that the 70,000 Red Flame Army was almost completely wiped out. He would tell the details one by one later.
In the palace, the Queen and Yue Guifei competed to recommend candidates to Emperor Liang's consort. Emperor Liang was noncommittal and announced that Mei Changsu, recommended by Nihuang, would be in charge of the literary examination to select a bride.
In the martial arts competition, Bai Qi from Beiyan looks very ugly, but his martial arts skills are superb and unrivaled.Emperor Liang was afraid that Nihuang's marriage would make Beiyan even more powerful, so he wanted to stop this dark horse.Therefore, a banquet was held in the palace for the top ten candidates who entered the literary examination, and the plan was to delay the attack and plan for it slowly.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were worried about Nihuang and approached Mei Changsu to discuss a solution.Xiao Jingrui wanted to fight with all his strength, just to get Bailiqi injured, so that Nihuang would have a better chance of winning when he fought with him.Xiao Jingrui had a special life experience.When he was born, the eldest princess of Liyang hit it off with the wife of Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of Tianquan Villa. The two lived together and were expecting a baby at the same time.Two babies were accidentally mixed up, and their identities could not be distinguished. One of the babies died suddenly the next day, so Emperor Liang gave him a national surname and named him Xiao Jingrui.He lived in the Xie family for one year and the Zhuo family for the other year. He was the son of two surnames, so the two families were as close as one family.Later, Zhuo Qingyao, the eldest son of Zhuo, married Xie Qi, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and even kissed her.
Mu Qing was dissatisfied with Bai Qi's victory and threatened to find someone to cripple him if he married Ni Huang.
At the banquet, King Yu proposed to let the candidates compete on the spot to add to the fun.Xiao Jingrui took the lead to challenge, but lost to Baili Qi.
Emperor Liang had no choice but to stop the competition.Mei Changsu offered advice on the spot, pointing out that Bai Qi's martial arts was too tough and only a few children could defeat him.Mei Changsu used retreat as an advance, prompting Beiyan to agree to a five-day battle on the spot.Emperor Liang agreed to Mei Changsu's proposal, and Meng Zhi personally selected three young men in Yeyouting to fight, and Tingsheng was one of them.
Concubine Hui was punished to go to the Empress Dowager's Buddhist temple to light candles, and was accompanied by Prince Jing's mother, Concubine Jing.They overheard a maid asking for the aphrodisiac liquor "Qingsi Roan" from Nanny Wu - which had been used on Princess Liyang by the late Empress Dowager. They knew it was no good and felt very uneasy.
Mei Changsu told Fei Liu that speed was the key to victory and asked him to urge San Zhizi to step up training.Nihuang visited Xuelu and told Mei Changsu that he was in a difficult situation and had no retreat. He asked him to turn the tide and expressed that he believed in Mei Changsu for some reason.Mei Changsu reassured her that the matter would be resolved properly.
When Concubine Jing had an audience with the Empress Dowager, she borrowed a sachet to deliver a message to Princess Liyang.Princess Liyang was invited to meet Concubine Jing.Concubine Jing told her that someone in the palace was going to use love to surround her, and they both thought that the victim would be Ni Huang.Jing Bin asked Li Yang to rescue Ni Huang.Li Yang went to Mu Mansion to deliver a letter, but Nihuang and Mu Qing were out of town and could not see them.This matter was learned by Xie Yu.
The third child made rapid progress and was praised by Mei Changsu.Prince Jing came to visit Tingsheng in Xuelu. He ridiculed Su Gan, the chief of plum blossoms, for being an aide, and asked him whether he would choose the crown prince or Prince Yu.Mei Changsu took the opportunity to express his feelings and expressed his willingness to choose Prince Jing to help him fight for the throne.King Jing burst out laughing when he heard this, mocking himself for his lack of prominence in his mother's family, his declining connections, the neglect of Emperor Liang, and his difficult situation. The throne was decided between King Yu and the prince, and he had no hope.However, although the throne is as far away as a floating cloud, Prince Jing is willing to pay any price if he can kill the crown prince and Prince Yu's path to supreme status.
Late at night, Meng Zhi sneaked into the snow house and learned that Tingsheng was the posthumous son of King Qi.Mei Changsu told Prince Jing that he would help him, but Meng Zhi objected.Mei Changsu's heart was as strong as iron, and he expressed his willingness to bear all the responsibilities for this to avenge his injustice.At this time, Li Yang made a surprise visit and told Mei Changsu about the love affair, and asked him to remind Nihuang to be careful.Meng Zhi heard this from behind the screen and was deeply angry.The two of them knew whoever invited Nihuang into the palace tomorrow would be the mastermind behind it.
On the day of the duel between Bai Qi and San Zhizi, Prince Jing and Ni Huang came to Wuying Hall in advance.Mei Changsu took the opportunity to tell Nihuang that Princess Liyang reminded her to be careful of the harem's dark tricks and to be cautious about what she imports.
Emperor Liang led everyone to gather in the main hall to watch the battle.Bailiqi lost to Sanzhizi's sword formation and was injured. Emperor Liang was very happy.Bailiqi was forced to withdraw from the competition to find a bride.Nihuang asked Emperor Liang to remove the three children from their status as criminal slaves and take them back to his palace for training, and Emperor Liang agreed.Ting Sheng was finally free.
After the banquet was over, Nihuang questioned Bailiqi's strange loss.Mei Changsu admitted that Bai Qi was a member of the Jiangzuo League, and he made this arrangement in case there were people among the top ten that Nihuang didn't like, so as to gain favor from Yunnan Mu Mansion.When they were about to talk in depth, the Queen summoned Nihuang to Zhengyang Palace to talk. The two looked at each other and both thought that the Queen wanted to harm Nihuang.Nihuang was wary and followed the maid into Zhengyang Palace, but not a drop of water was touched.
On the way out of the palace, Mei Changsu learned from Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin that Liao Yanjie, the man elected by Prince Yu's Palace, invited them to play polo outside the palace. Only then did he learn that it was not Prince Yu and the Queen who attacked Nihuang, but the Prince and Yue.Concubine.He was so angry that his old illness relapsed.Meng Zhi arrived and sent Xiao and Yan away.Mei Changsu asked him to immediately notify King Jing, the Queen, and Mu Qing to rescue Nihuang.At this time, Concubine Yue had brought Nihuang from the Queen's Palace to her Zhaoren Palace.
Concubine Yue talked with Nihuang over wine about the scenery of her hometown.Nihuang thought the poisoner was the queen, so when she saw Concubine Yue drinking the cup in one gulp, she put down her guard and drank.The maid informed the prince and Sima Lei to see him.Nihuang noticed something was wrong and stood up to leave, but she felt dizzy and her steps were wandering.She used her last ray of clarity to knock down Sima Lei. As soon as she rushed out of the palace, she fainted in the arms of Prince Jing who forced his way into the palace.King Jing wanted to save Nihuang from Zhaoren Palace, but Concubine Yue and the prince were so mad that they ordered the guards to shoot King Jing.Prince Jing was so anxious that he took the prince hostage with his sword, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.At the critical moment, the queen and the empress dowager arrived and took them away from Zhaoren Palace.
Nihuang woke up and came to Yangju Hall angrily, asking Emperor Liang to give him justice.The concubine Yue made excuses in every possible way.When Nihuang was helpless, King Jing came to testify, but Concubine Yue refused to go forward in order to retreat.At this time, Meng Zhi entered the palace and reported that he had captured Sima Lei, a foreign minister, outside Zhaoren Palace.Concubine Yue's face turned pale when she heard this. She knew that she could not deny her love, so she had no choice but to throw away her car to protect the prince. She lied that the prince did not know about it, and she took full responsibility for the crime.Emperor Liang demoted her to a concubine and put her in the cold palace, where she lived in seclusion and thought about her mistakes.
The prince was fined and imprisoned for three months.After Emperor Liang dealt with the concubine Yue and the prince, he was quite suspicious of Prince Jing's behavior.He asked King Jing why he forced his way into Zhaoren Palace.When King Jing was in trouble, King Yu, who was instructed by Mei Changsu, arrived in time.He pretended that he had entered the palace to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. He saw the prince bringing foreign ministers into the inner palace, and found out that Nihuang was also in the palace. He noticed something was wrong, so he asked Prince Jing who was passing by to enter Zhaoyang Palace to find out the truth.Emperor Liang knew that King Yu had been keeping a close eye on the prince and believed that what he said was true.King Yu was rewarded for this.Although King Jing had merit in rescuing the princess, he held the prince with a knife and committed the crime above, so the merit and demerit were offset by the fault.
Nihuang thought that Prince Jing was entrusted by Mei Changsu to save her, but Prince Jing denied it.The two of them had doubts, so they went together to ask Meng Zhi.
In the Zhengyang Palace, King Yu and the Queen analyzed the whole incident.King Yu recalled Mei Changsu's guidance to him and overall planning, and felt that Mei Changsu was thoughtful and strategic, which strengthened his determination to take him under his command.
Ni Huang bluntly said that there was an expert behind Meng Zhi's advice, and Meng Zhi, who wanted to hide it, had to admit it.The three analyzed that the biggest winner in this matter was King Yu, who had achieved four goals with one fell swoop.Prince Jing, however, had other ideas. He knew that the real winner was himself! If he risked his life to save him, Nihuang would be grateful and get the support of the Lingnan Mu family.
Prince Jing met with Mei Changsu and asked why Mei Changsu used Nihuang's danger as a stepping stone for his advancement. Mei Changsu could not explain and was in pain.He promised King Jing that he would not touch his bottom line.But he also told Prince Jing with great sincerity that if he wanted to win, he could not just rely on enthusiasm. He must be more ruthless and cautious than the enemy.Good generals and loyal ministers must make use of what should be used, but try to keep it as thorough as possible in order to achieve great things.King Jing said that he could never forget that his best friend was killed by an adulterer, which made Mei Changsu understand.In order to ask Prince Jing to treat him sincerely, Mei Changsu confessed that he already knew Tingsheng's true life experience but had not harmed Prince Jing because of it, thus gaining Prince Jing's full trust.
In the Ningguo Houfu, Zhuo Qingyao secretly reported to Xie Yu that when Xia Dong was investigating the Qingguo case, he had discovered that Tianquan Villa was escorting the complaining old couple to Beijing.In order to hide the secret of supporting Dong Palace and maintain his neutral status to the outside world, Xie Yu decided to intercept and kill Xia Dong.
In order to keep track of Mei Changsu's whereabouts, Xie Yu asked Xiao Jingrui to inform him of his needs at any time in the name of caring.His excessive enthusiasm made Xiao Jingrui feel abnormal and extremely depressed.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were relaxing in the suburbs and happened to meet the injured Xia Dong.The two of them teamed up with Xia Dong to fight against the enemy, defeated the killers and captured the leader alive.Xia Dong interrogated the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the leader replied: King Yu.
Xia Dong didn't believe that it was King Yu who ordered him, and was about to continue questioning him. Suddenly, a barrage of arrows came and shot the leader to death.Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were worried about Xia Dong and escorted her into the city.Zhuo Qingyao has been following him.
Mei Changsu is preparing to move out of Ningguo Hou Mansion.He was taken to see the house by Mu Qing, and when he arrived, he found that Nihuang was already waiting in the garden.The two walked and talked.Nihuang was suspicious of Mei Changsu's identity. She probed him every step of the way, and led him to the door of Chi Yanshuai's former residence.Mei Changsu felt very sad when he first saw his former residence.He was afraid that he could not control himself, his emotions would be exposed, and Nihuang would see the flaw, so he refused to enter the house for inspection, so he said goodbye and left.Nihuang looked at his leaving figure, doubts still lingering in her heart.
Nihuang showed no mercy, defeating the remaining contest winners one by one and presenting an apology.Emperor Liang was very angry when he saw that the marriage recruitment failed and he could not let Nihuang marry in the capital as he wished.He believed that the Yunnan Prince's Palace was dominating and important, and he could not let her return to Yunnan easily.
Xie Bi was interfered by Xie Yu and was not allowed to serve King Yu anymore, so he complained to Xiao Jingrui.During the conversation, he revealed that he had been serving King Yu for two years under the instruction of his father, and that his father was the prince of the East Palace.This incident shocked Xiao Jingrui.
Xia Dong visited Mei Changsu and had a disagreement with Fei Liu. The two sides competed and Xia Dong lost.For the sake of Nihuang's happiness and safety, Xia Dong bluntly asked Mei Changsu if he had any admiration for Nihuang.Mei Changsu suppressed the sourness in his heart and replied that he was weak and could not drag Nihuang down, and he only wanted to be the friend of a gentleman.
Xia Dong came out of the snow cottage and met Xie Yu.She exposed the fact that Xie Yu secretly supported the Prince of the East Palace and ordered assassins to intercept and kill her in the suburbs of Beijing.However, remembering that Xie Yu had brought back the body of her late husband Nie Feng, she refused to report it or pursue any further investigation. The two men settled their grudges.
The Qingguo public land invasion case has been unresolved.The prince and King Yu competed to be the chief judge, but Emperor Liang refused.Meng Zhi took the opportunity to hint to Emperor Liang, saying that the Duke of Qing held a high position and needed the prince to preside over the case, reminding Emperor Liang of Prince Jing.Not long after, King Jing was summoned to the palace and he served as the chief judge.
Mei Changsu bought the Orchid Garden and invited Jingrui and Yujin to explore the garden together.Due to years of disrepair, the garden is overgrown with grass and gloomy.Yujin almost fell into a dry well and accidentally lost his jade pendant.Jing Ruiyuan went down the well to search and found dead bodies in the well.Jingzhao Yamen, who rushed to the scene after receiving the report, unexpectedly dug up more than ten female corpses from the well! The case of corpses hidden in dry wells was horrifying and shocked the capital.
The prince and Xie Yu learned that the mastermind behind Nihuang's distress was Mei Changsu, and concluded that he had turned to King Yu, so they decided to get rid of him.Xie Yu sent Zhuo Dingfeng to test the reality first.
On the way back to Xuelu, Mei Changsu was assassinated by Zhuo Dingfeng, and Fei Liufei came to rescue him.Mei Changsu looked at him coldly and did not call out other secret guards.Meng Zhi, who came to see Mei Changsu, encountered him and hurriedly drew his sword to help. Zhuo Dingfeng took the opportunity to retreat.Zhuo told Xie Yu that Fei Liu was the only bodyguard around Mei Changsu.The two decided on a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Jingzhao Yin Gaosheng found out that the owner of Lanyuan Garden was Zhang Jin, who died of illness 4 years ago.During his lifetime, he had many romantic places in the capital, and Lanyuan was his private residence.An adult male from the Zhang family has been transferred to Beijing for interrogation.
While Jing Zhaoyin was investigating, Lou Shangshu was begging the prince for help.It turns out that in the Liang Dynasty, officials were not allowed to have sex with prostitutes. Lanyuan was a private residence on the surface, but secretly it was a brothel for courtiers, and Lou Shangshu was one of its regular customers.The female corpse in the dry well was the girl accidentally killed by these officials.Lou Shangshu also had a few lives on his hands.
At this time, Lanyuan's confidant director Shi Jun was hunted down by Lou Shangshu because he kept the roster recorded by Zhang Jin, and fled to Prince Yu's Mansion.The list involves many important officials in the court, and the important minister of the prince's faction - the minister of household affairs, Zhi Jing, is prominently listed, which attracts the attention of King Yu.Shi Jun presented the book to save his life and was ordered to report the case to Jing Zhaoyin.
Meng Zhi found a garden for Mei Changsu that was connected to the back wall of Prince Jing's palace, where a secret passage could be built to facilitate a secret meeting between the two.Mei Changsu was very satisfied.Meng Zhi was worried about Prince Jing presiding over the Qingguo case, but Mei Changsu said that Prince Jing must take the first step.
King Yu and his adviser Qin Banruo analyzed it and believed that the reason why Mei Changsu did not come over with a clear-cut stance was to test himself and the prince, and then choose the right tree to perch.
Xiao Jingrui sent his mother back home and found that the assassin had entered the snow house with the intention of killing Mei Changsu, so he quickly followed him.After he and Fei Liu worked together to repel the assassin, they did not listen to Mei Changsu's dissuasion and took off the black scarf on the assassin's face, discovering that the deceased was actually his father's follower.Thinking of the hostile stance between his father and Brother Su and the prospects of the Xie Mansion, Jingrui felt sad and worried.For the sake of friendship, he persuaded Mei Changsu to withdraw from the dispute.Mei Changsu said it was impossible and advised him not to worry and just keep his heart.
Captain Li, who has been secretly protecting Mei Changsu, reported that Mr. Thirteen came to see him.It turns out that Mr. Thirteen is a loyal servant of the Lin Mansion. Over the years, he and Gong Yu have been running Miaoyinfang“ for the Lin Mansion, and secretly collected intelligence for the Jiang Zuo Alliance, supervising and containing the Red Sleeve Moves.Thirteen investigated and found out that Prince Yu's counselor Qin Banruo was originally the heir to the mantle of "Red Sleeves Zhao" founded by Princess Xuanji, the last of the Hua tribe, and he acted in a sophisticated manner.Because the country was destroyed by Daliang, she had been plotting for many years and was bent on revenge.Gong Yu has placed his own men around her, and as long as Mei Changsu gives the order, he can destroy the ”Red Sleeve Move%.Mei Changsu decided to keep Qin Banruo as a pawn.
Qin Banruo visited Gao Sheng at night and reminded him to transfer the hot potato case of the corpse hiding case in Lanyuan to the Ministry of Punishment for processing.
Mei Changsu moved to a new home, and Dr. Yan and Aunt Ji came to Beijing to take care of Mei Changsu.The goose-feather heavy snow was falling, and Fei Liu was having a good time, but the frail Mei Changsu was obviously unwell and was driven indoors by Dr. Yan.
In Jingzhao Mansion, the government officials came to report that a monster appeared on Xiaogu Mountain, which made people uneasy.
As expected, Gao Sheng handed over the case of corpse hiding in Lanyuan to the Ministry of Punishment.Qi Min, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was a member of the Yuwang faction.King Yu ordered him to make an iron case and get rid of Lou Zhijing.
Mei Changsu planned to break the claws of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu one by one. Lou Zhijing and Duke Qing were already the turtles in the urn.He said to Meng Zhi: King Yu might not give up and would try to rescue Duke Qing.Just as he was talking, King Yu came to visit.
King Yu asked Mei Changsu for advice to save the life of Duke Qing.In order to get rid of Duke Qing, Mei Changsu tried his best to lure Prince Yu.He said that the emperor was determined to investigate the land invasion case thoroughly. If he wanted to put an end to the trend of land annexation in one fell swoop, Duke Baoqing would lose his sacred heart.In order to continue to confuse King Yu, he pretended to stand for King Yu, saying that by sacrificing Duke Qing, he could gain King Jing and compete with Xie Yu in the military.His careful analysis made King Yu take the bait.
King Yu gave up on Duke Qing and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate with King Jing.Xie Yu attempted to assassinate Mei Changsu again, but failed miserably because Su's residence was heavily guarded.
Mei Changsu took Fei Liu to Prince Jing's Mansion.Borrowing Fei Liu's hand, he gave Tingsheng the soft gold armor to protect him.Mei Changsu gave instructions to Prince Jing on how to handle the case of land invasion by the Qing State, and Prince Yu agreed.While chatting, Mei Changsu wanted to touch the red iron bow placed by the wall. It was an old thing that he had used before, but Prince Jing stopped him.He apologetically explained that it was a relic of a friend who didn't like strangers touching his things.Mei Changsu was very moved.
The prince and King Yu competed to recommend candidates for the Ministry of Household Affairs to expand their own power, which upset Emperor Liang.
Mei Changsu mentioned Shen Zhui, whom Prince Jing once made friends with. He cared about people's livelihood and was down-to-earth in his work. He was the best candidate for the Minister of Household Affairs.At this time, Emperor Liang's father-in-law Gao Zhan also mentioned Shen Zhui's name. Because of Shen Zhui's neutral stance, the more Emperor Liang thought about it, the more appropriate it became.Soon, Shen Zhui was officially appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs.
Mei Changsu knew that Prince Jing was away at war all year round and knew nothing about the affairs of the Six Ministries. He gave Prince Jing the pre-written list of officials from the Six Ministries and co-examiners from the Third Division, so that he could have peace of mind and candid interactions with them.
On the martial arts field, Fei Liu was competing with Qi Meng.Mei Changsu was watching the battle, but Qi Meng deliberately provoked him.Mei Changsu took this opportunity to point out that King Jing was not strict in running the army and had loose discipline. He urged King Jing to run the government strictly, organize the military affairs, and prepare for the seizure of the throne.King Jing was enlightened and severely punished Qi Meng.
King Jing convened the three departments for discussion and called in the auxiliary trial officials according to the list provided by Mei Changsu.
Things went smoothly according to Mei Changsu's plan.“Lanyuan Corpse Hiding Case” The evidence is conclusive, Lou Zhijing is imprisoned and will be executed by beheading.
Tong Lu disguised himself as a food deliveryman and was responsible for delivering news to Mei Changsu and Mr. Thirteen.His sister was killed by Lou Zhijing in the Orchid Garden, and she was unjustly avenged.Now, the family has to take revenge and feel grateful to Mei Changsu.
Mei Changsu set his next target on the official department.In the Yangliuxin brothel, arranged by Gong Yu, Xinliu and Xinyang were ready to risk their lives to plot against Wen Yuanbo's son Qiu Ze.Their younger brother was only 13 years old when he was beaten to death by Qiu Ze.
Gong Yu sows discord and makes He Wenxin, the only son of He Jingzhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Qiu Ze become jealous and fight.The girls followed the plan, and He Wenxin was so angry that he beat Qiu Ze to death in full view of everyone.
Jingzhao Yin Gaosheng personally came to arrest He Wenxin, but was rejected.Master He, the Minister of Civil Affairs, asked King Yu for help.King Yu's staff gave him advice: hand over He Wenxin and let Gao Sheng decide the case first, and wait until he reports it to the Ministry of Punishment and enters his own territory before making a decision.
Wen Yuanbo went to the Ministry of Punishment several times to inquire about the progress of the case, but was evaded by Qi Min, the Minister of Punishment.
Ning Guogong was sentenced to Autumn Judgment and his family property was confiscated. The case was successfully tried, but King Jing only received a few words of praise from Emperor Liang; while King Yu, who behaved generously and did not cause any trouble, received a heavy reward.The assistant trial officials were all unhappy, but King Jing took it for granted.
Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui visited Prince Ji's Mansion and learned that Prince Ji was at the scene and witnessed He Wenxin murder.
Qin Banruo also found out that Prince Ji witnessed He Wenxin murder.She advised King Yu not to fall out with Uncle Wang because of a subordinate's son, causing the Ministry of Punishment to be implicated.
Xie Yu reminded the prince that the top priority was to restore Concubine Yue, and the two made a plan.Xie Yu rescued the son of Chen Yuanzhi, the Minister of Rites, and asked him to submit a letter to seek retribution.The reason is that during the end of the year ceremony, the prince must touch his parents' skirts to the ground.However, the prince's biological mother, the concubine Yue, has been deposed and her position is difficult to arrange.In fact, the crown prince's legitimate mother, the empress, should be present during the ceremony, but Chen Yuanzhi concealed it.The prince and Chen Yuanzhi made clever suggestions, and Xie Yu secretly aroused King Liang's fear of Nihuang, finally getting Emperor Liang to agree to restore the Yue concubine to a concubine.This incident made Nihuang, Mengzhi, Yuwang and others very dissatisfied.Mei Changsu decided to operate on Chen Yuanzhi.
In the court hall, Tian Dezhi, the censor of Zuodu, impeached Chen Yuanzhi, the minister of rites.He said that he knew clearly that there were errors in the sacrificial regulations in the court, but did not correct them, which caused the imperial concubine to overstep the palace. The prince had failed in his filial piety and should be charged with dereliction of duty, which caused disputes among the ministers.Seeing the stalemate, King Yu suggested that all Su Confucians discuss etiquette in the court hall.In Zhengyang Palace, King Yu said to the queen: Mei Changsu is right.Although this move caused dissatisfaction with the emperor, it emphasized the prince's status as a commoner and removed obstacles for deposing the prince.
Nihuang invites Mei Changsu to the Prince Mu's Mansion to appreciate the plum blossoms.Mei Changsu asked Mu Qing to help and slap Concubine Yue again.Nihuang compared Mei Changsu's handwriting and found that it was different from what Lin Shu had written back then, and felt disappointed.
In order to win the reputation of the king, the prince paid a lot of money to invite the great scholar.King Yu was worried and asked Mei Changsu if he had any good ideas.Mei Changsu sent Mu Qing to Lingyin Temple with his token to invite Zhou Xuanqing, a great scholar who had lived in seclusion for many years.Zhou Xuanqing appeared in the debate, and King Yu's side won completely.
Prince Jing told his mother and concubine that he had participated in the seizure of the heir, and had Concubine Jing's support.
Zhou Xuanqing met Mei Changsu.Mei Changsu told him that he was a disciple of Mr. Li Chong.Please move Zhou Xuanqing's token - a jade cicada given by his mentor.
Zhou Xuanqing had a very pleasant conversation with Mei Changsu, and he admired him very much. He said that he had Li Chong's character and presented the jade cicada to Mei Changsu.When leaving, the old gentleman said that Li Chong also had a proud disciple who was born in Jiangmen. If he was born at the same time, the two of them could be called a pair of treasures.Mei Changsu could not express his identity, but his heart was filled with respect and gratitude for Mr. Zhou.
Unable to conceal her doubts, Nihuang rode to the outskirts of Beijing and asked Mei Changsu about his identity.She pointed out that Wei Zheng, the deputy general of Lin Shu of the Red Flame Army, was sent by the Jiangzuo Alliance to support the southern naval battle; she analyzed that Mei Changsu helped King Jing seize the throne in order to clarify the grievances of Red Yan; she asked why Mei Changsu brought upLin Shu called him by his first name instead of calling him Marshal? After repeated questioning, she had confirmed that the sickly scholar in front of her was the once-all-powerful brother Lin Shu whom she had longed for.Nihuang hugged Lin Shu tightly, cried bitterly, and never let go.She called Lin Shu over and over again, telling her the pain of missing her.Mei Changsu could not suppress his deep feelings, and his rock-hard heart finally softened, and he admitted his identity to Nihuang.The two talked to each other and comforted each other.Seeing Mu Qing come back soon, Mei Changsu asked Nihuang to conceal her identity and be careful not to expose any flaws.
Mei Changsu returned to Su's house and fell ill due to days of hard work. Doctor Yan angrily asked him to rest for a few days to take care of his health, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
King Jing met Shen Zhui on the road.Shen Zhui discovered that there was a problem with the official water transport ship.Prince Jing then went to the dock to investigate, and the two decided that the official ship must have secrets.Yan Yujin was very happy to hear that his father, who was devoted to cultivating Taoism, returned home.He was delighted by his father's occasional expressions of concern.
Mr. Thirteen sent people to track the whereabouts of black powder from six official ships, but his subordinates accidentally lost track of the target.Black powder flowed into the capital and its whereabouts were unknown, so further investigation was necessary.
When he learned that Mei Changsu was unwell, King Yu personally came to visit him.While the two were talking, the entourage rushed in in a panic and reported: The queen fell ill! King Yu hurriedly said goodbye and entered the palace.
Tong Lu found out that four of the ships of black powder were transported to a private artillery workshop next to the north gate. It was opened by Zhijing, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the main income went to the prince.Mei Changsu asked that any new information found should be released to Shen Zhui.
Mei Changsu felt that the queen was sick and that he might have missed something, so he asked Captain Li to find the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor for the queen.Concubine Jing discovered something strange in the tea set used by the Queen in Zhengyang Palace.
He Jingzhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was in jail because of his son and was seriously ill and could not go to court. As a result, the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel were piled up, making King Yu anxious.In desperation, Qin Banruo proposed Li Daitao's plan.
Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui returned from the hot spring to visit Mei Changsu and brought several baskets of tangerines shipped from Lingnan Prefecture.Everyone tasted it together. Yujin was as sweet as glutinous rice. Feiliu peeled it open and smelled it but threw it away without eating.Fei Liu's rejection made Mei Changsu realize that citrus fruits might have a peculiar smell.
Shen Zhui reported to King Jing that he had found black fire in the water transport and that it had been transported to the prince's private cannon workshop.Shen Zhui decided to take away the artillery workshop when the evidence was complete.
Mei Changsu was getting weaker and weaker day by day, so he begged Mrs. Yan to let him live longer.Prince Jing comes to visit and informs Mei Changsu that Concubine Jing found out that the queen was poisoned by the poison of rhizome.This herb is not very poisonous, but eating it can make your limbs weak, and it can only last for six or seven days.Mei Changsu, who was lost in thought, subconsciously made Lin Shu's habitual movements, making King Jing think of his old friend.Mei Changsu reminded Prince Jing that as the battle for the heir apparent became fierce, he would soon be pushed to the top of the wave. If he wanted to win, he would need both sincerity and skill to control the situation.
Concubine Yue recommended to Emperor Liang that Concubine Xu Shu perform the queen's ceremony during the year-end ceremony, which greatly pleased the dragon's heart.Li Gang reported that the other two ships of black powder were not transported to the private artillery workshop, but their whereabouts have never been traced.Mei Changsu analyzed that gunpowder was not used to make firecrackers, so it must be used to kill people.He associated the poisoning of tangerines and Queen Yan with the year-end festival. He realized that the situation was urgent and hurriedly paid a visit to Yan Hou regardless of Dr. Yan's obstruction.
When he went out but did not return, Yujin sent people to look for him.Mei Changsu, Yujin and Jingrui were chatting and waiting.Yujin talked about how he admired Lin Xiangru the most and thought he was the most envoy-like.Mei Changsu told him that there was such an envoy in this dynasty.37 years ago, the tripartite alliance of Dayu, Beiyan, and Donghai overwhelmed Daliang with five times the force.This envoy went alone, fearless of life and death, fought with the Confucian scholars, divided the three kingdoms, and resolved the crisis.Yujin praised him repeatedly.Mei Changsu told him: This man is your father! Yujin was shocked when he heard this.
King Yu investigated the Queen's poisoning case in the palace and found out that it was not the Crown Prince, but the person behind it still had no clue.
Waiting to return home.Mei Changsu went straight to the point, saying that he had found out the truth and buried the gunpowder in the altar.When asked about the reason, Yanhou said bitterly: I want to kill him! It turns out that Yanhou, Generalissimo Lin Xie and Emperor Liang grew up together since childhood, and the three of them made an oath to share hardships and wealth together.But after helping Emperor Liang ascend the throne, Emperor Liang not only enjoyed exclusive imperial status, but also did not care about brotherhood at all.He knew that Lin Xie's sister Le Yao had already been committed to Yan Hou, but he forced her into the palace.Later, Le Yao gave birth to Jing Yu (King Qi) and was named Concubine Chen.Yanhou accepted his fate and planned to let go, but unexpectedly another case of the Red Flame Army occurred - Jing Yu was sentenced to death, Le Yao committed suicide, and Lin Xie's family was in trouble! Yanhou hated the cold heart of Emperor Liang, pretending to be single-minded, planning for many years, and only wanted to kill.He takes revenge.
Mei Changsu tried his best to dissuade Yanhou.It is said that he is just venting his personal anger, not real revenge.Although the emperor is dead, the two factions of the prince and the prince are fighting, the government is unstable and the border is unsafe; Chi Yan's unjust case has not been settled, and the stigmatization of relatives and friends is still there; even Yujin, who has never enjoyed his father's love, will be implicated...…
At the same time, Meng Zhi, who was patrolling the palace, took out the fuse buried in the altar.
Yan Hou finally agreed to Mei Changsu to stop.He asked Mei Changsu why he wanted to help him.Mei Changsu replied: Mr. Hou is a person with love and justice in his heart. I can save every one, so please don't act rashly again.Yan Hou praised his righteousness, but at the same time sighed and said that he should not help King Yu ascend to the throne.Because King Yu is the most like Emperor Liang, ruthless, cold and cruel.When parting, they asked each other: If anything happens to Xiao Qiang in the future, please save the child's life! Mei Changsu agreed generously.
King Yu found a scapegoat and asked the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate and replaced He Wenxin.Through the incident of He Jingzhong recovering from illness and going to court, Mei Changsu keenly realized that King Yu had tampered with He Wenxin.Mei Changsu asked Captain Li to investigate, and gave this information to Xie Yu, so that he could kill people with a borrowed knife and seize the two territories of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment.
Although Qi Min had repeatedly warned He Jingzhong to send He Wenxin away quickly, he must not spend the New Year in his mansion.But He Wenxin has always been favored, and after he was released from prison, he still went back to his hometown to give Xie Yu time.Xie Yu and Uncle Wen Yuan blocked He Wenxin who was trying to escape at the gate of He Mansion, and went to the temple. This incident shocked the capital.
On New Year's Eve, every family was happily watching the New Year's Eve, Feiliu was happily eating dumplings, and Ning Guogong Xie Yu's family was also very lively.But as midnight approached, Xie Yu dismissed everyone and conspired with Zhuo Dingfeng to assassinate the servant who was delivering the food.
Yan Yujin learned from his father that he had saved the Yan family after being dissuaded by Mei Changsu, so he came to express his gratitude on New Year's Day.Xiao Jingrui discussed the chaos of the government from He Wenxin's case, and recalled that Mei Changsu once said that "the emperor will be virtuous", which made Yujin guess that Mei Changsu was not really assisting King Yu at all.
The internal servants and the escorting imperial guards who were routinely ordered to leave the palace to give food to important ministers were assassinated, which made Emperor Liang furious.He blamed Meng Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, for his poor protection and his twenty-twenty-armed imperial staff, and ordered him to solve the case within thirty days.In Ning Guogong's palace, Xie Yu asked Zhuo Dingfeng not to show up in the short term. The next step was to let people from the Jianghu who had already been recruited come forward.In addition, Emperor Liang will send the Xuanjing Division to secretly investigate the case so that he can be on guard.
Mei Changsu took Fei Liu to Prince Mu's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.A subordinate of Prince Mu's Mansion reported a murder case on New Year's Eve.Mei Changsu analyzed that it must have been done by the Crown Prince or Prince Yu.
Xie Yu's purpose in planning the New Year's Eve killing was to unseat Meng Zhi and replace him.Next, he has made up a plan, which is linked to each other, making Meng Zhi unable to guard against it.Emperor Liang summoned brothers Xia Dong and Xia Chun into the palace and ordered them to secretly investigate the New Year's Eve murder case.After preliminary investigation, based on the shape of the wound on the deceased, Xia Dong believed that the case must have been committed by an expert in swordsmanship.Xia Chun suspected Jiangzuo Alliance, but Xia Dong denied it.She had already become suspicious of Tianquan Villa.
Qin Banruo suggested that King Yu meet the emperor to intercede for Meng Zhi, saying that this would not offend the emperor, but could win over Meng Zhi and make him owe a favor.King Yu hurriedly entered the palace and passed by Mei Changsu who was visiting.When King Yu returned home, Mei Changsu admitted frankly that King Yu had suffered a hidden loss.Because in this case, King Yu and Meng Zhi will inevitably be jealous.Mei Changsu reminded King Yu to beware of Xie Yu and not to let him replace the commander of the Forbidden Army.
Lin Chen sent a letter from Feige to tell Nanchu that everything was going well.Mei Changsu asked him to arrive in the capital before April 12th.Mei Changsu asked Captain Li to inform Tianji Hall to quickly check which masters Tianquan Villa had interacted with in recent years, and at the same time, tighten control around Xie's residence.Mr. Thirteen is also investigating which martial artists are staying in Beijing.
Mei Changsu took Fei Liu to visit Meng Zhi at night.Meng Zhi was asked to resign to the emperor when the one-month deadline was up. The emperor could not let the emperor suspect that he was involved in party strife.Mei Changsu analyzed that the mastermind of the case must be Xie Yu, who could secretly guide the Xuanjing Division to solve the case.Let Meng Zhi rest in peace and rest and wait for the good news.
Xiao Jingrui accidentally met Zhuo Qingyao who was returning home late on the first day of the new year, and the two briefly exchanged a few words.Later, he accidentally learned from his sister Xie Qi that Zhuo Qingyao said that he did not go out that night, which made him suspicious.
Someone set fire to the palace. Although the main culprit was shot dead by the imperial army, Emperor Liang was still furious.He severely rebuked the queen, and the concubine Yue was very proud.In order to prevent the prince's party from taking advantage of the situation, the queen acted resolutely and killed a group of palace officials who violated the rules with a stick to serve as a warning to others.
Driven by love, Gong Yu secretly came to Su's house to meet Mei Changsu without telling Mr. Thirteen.Unexpectedly, Mei Changsu didn't wake up from her lunch break, so she had to leave depressedly.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin visited the Su residence.During the chat, Yujin invited Mei Changsu to listen to music at Miaoyinfang during the Lantern Festival, and Mei Changsu happily agreed.He wanted to know about Tianquan Villa's swordsmanship, so he asked with great interest to see if Xiao Jingrui's swordsmanship was improved.He calmly asked when the Zhuo family would leave the capital, and determined that it would be after Xiao Jingrui's birthday, which was April 12th. After kissing him according to his arrangement, he promised Xiao Jingrui to go to the Marquis Mansion to congratulate him.
Shen Zhui paid a visit to Prince Jing and said that the case of the private artillery workshop had made considerable progress and a report would be published in the near future.The two of them cherished each other, talked in perfect harmony, and had a great time chatting.When sending him out of the mansion, King Jing told him to pay attention to safety and be careful.
Mr. Thirteen found out that nine masters in Beijing were related to Zhuo Dingfeng.Mei Changsu ordered: Beat them until they can't go out!
Mei Changsu felt very uncomfortable knowing that Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng were involved in the prince's dispute, which would end in a disastrous defeat and would surely implicate Xiao Jingrui.
A swordsman in green suddenly appeared in the capital. He came to challenge the masters in the martial arts and wounded them all in one day.This swordsman in green is Zhen Ping from the Jiangzuo League who Mei Changsu urgently transferred to Beijing.Xie Yu was shocked to hear that all the nine masters he invited were seriously injured within one day, and there was no one available, so he had to stand still.
On the lonely mountain outside Jinling City, Xia Dong laid out sacrifices and poured out his heartfelt feelings in front of the tomb of his late husband Nie Feng.Mei Changsu, who came to express condolences, met her and asked to pay homage to Nie Feng.Kneeling in front of the tomb, Mei Changsu recalled his heroic appearance, feeling sad but trying to hold it down.When going down the mountain, he tested Xia Dong and confirmed that the Xuanjing Division was indeed secretly investigating the New Year's Eve murder.
When the two of them went down the mountain, they met a golden-haired wild man, and Xia Dong chased after him.It turned out that Qi Meng had been ordered many times to round up the monsters that were disturbing the mountain people. Today, he finally encountered them, but was scared away by Xia Dong. He was very frustrated.Mei Changsu asked him to talk less and do more for the sake of Prince Jing, and Qi Meng agreed repeatedly.Before getting in the car, Mei Changsu suggested that he find out what the monsters like to eat and set a trap to lure them into being rounded up.
In order to investigate the underground bank, Shen Zhui went to meet the informant in person. He fell into Xie Yu's trap and was killed after being defeated by his guard.Zhen Ping arrived but was outnumbered, and was stabbed in the left arm by Zhuo Dingfeng with a sword.Zhuo Qingyao stepped forward to entangle Zhen Ping, while Zhuo Dingfeng thrust his sword at Shen Zhui.At the critical moment, Xiao Jingrui, who had followed Zhuo Qingyao here, rushed out and blocked Shen Zhui with his body.Looking at the blood on his shoulder, Zhuo Dingfeng couldn't bear to kill again.At this time, Prince Jing's subordinates Xie Zhanying passed by on patrol and rescued them.
Xie Yu deceived Zhuo Dingfeng that Shen Zhui was behind the instigation of King Yu, and once again arranged for the father and son to enter the Shen Mansion for assassination.Xiao Jingrui tried to dissuade him, but Zhuo Dingfeng scolded him angrily, feeling angry and anxious.In the Xuanjing Department, Xia Chun and Xia Dong initially identified the killer behind the New Year's Eve murder as Zhuo Dingfeng.She had to sit still and paralyze her opponent, then wait for the right opportunity to strike.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Mei Changsu was about to go to Miaoyinzha when he saw the goldfish lantern in front of the porch, which was exactly the same as the one Nihuang had hung when he was young, which brought back sweet memories for him.Here, Nihuang misses her deeply and comes to visit her.The two stared at each other, silently expressing their boundless lovesickness and helpless separation.
Mei Changsu followed Yujin and Jingrui to Miaoyinfang to listen to Gong Yu's performance of new music.Mei Changsu pretended not to understand the rules and asked Gong Yu to entertain Jingrui's birthday party.In order not to arouse Jing Rui's suspicion, Gong Yu offered to go if he could play the eldest princess' Jiaowei Guqin.Jingrui agreed with a smile.
Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao went to Shen Mansion to assassinate him at night.They were surrounded by people led by Zhen Ping and Lie Zhanying.Zhuo Qingyao was shot by random arrows and his life was in danger.Instead of comforting them, Xie Yu complained about their inability to do things well.
Mei Changsu supported King Yu to counterattack the prince in time.He told King Yu that Lou Zhijing and the prince had jointly opened a private artillery workshop, and asked him to help Shen Zhui, who had already handed over a discount.
When Xiao Jingrui learned that Zhuo Qingyao was injured in the assassination of Shen Zhui, he burst into Xie Yu's study angrily and asked his father why he was a loyal minister and what he was a loving father? He accused him of not doing the right thing.Xie Yu became angry and slapped him away.Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng saw Jin Rui's fierce opposition and began to guard against him.
In order to increase the prince's guilt, King Yu sent people to create an accidental explosion in a private artillery workshop, blowing up 64 houses, killing 121 people and injuring more than 100 people. The scene was horrific.Mei Chang Su ordered Li Gang to find out whether it was King Yu, and then rushed to the scene of the explosion.At this time, King Jing had already taken out tents and quilts to place the refugees.He sighed and said: Shen Zhui has found out the fact that the prince used the private artillery workshop to make huge profits, and the emperor will give his approval soon.Who would have thought that such an accident would happen! Mei Changsu replied sadly: This is not an accident, it is man-made!
King Jing was angry at King Yu for disregarding human life, and then suspected that this was Mei Changsu's plan.Being misunderstood by her friends made Mei Changsu angry, but unable to argue, Nihuang stood up to defend him.Prince Jing knew that he had wrongly blamed Mei Changsu and apologized to him.At this time, the servant of Prince Jing's palace asked for instructions on what to do with the military resources used to resettle the victims.Prince Jing was about to report to the Ministry of War as required, but was stopped by Mei Changsu.Mei Changsu asked him to deliberately make mistakes and attract the troops to join him, so that the emperor could know that after the explosion of the private artillery room, the prince and Prince Yu only fought for power, while Prince Jing was busy stabilizing the situation and appeasing the people, but remained silent.
Although the Concubine Yue was angry that the prince was greedy for profit, she had to deal with it for him.She asked the prince to find the censor to interfere with him, and then took on all the charges, so that the suspicious Emperor Liang would shift his focus to the party struggle and leave room for handling.Sure enough, although Emperor Liang was furious, he did not abolish the East Palace. He only ordered the prince to move to Guijia Palace for self-examination. During this period, he was not allowed to participate in court affairs.
As expected, the Ministry of War was instructed by the prince to accuse King Jing of misappropriating military funds and failing to report them.Prince Jing admitted his mistake and said he was too busy and forgot about it.Instead of convicting him, Emperor Liang praised him for his decisiveness in dealing with difficulties.
Mei Changsu personally designed, repaired and renovated the Su residence garden.He chose a good day and invited all his friends to visit the garden.King Yu came uninvited with Qin Banrui.During the dinner, Mei Changsu deliberately asked Xiao Jingrui, pretending to be concerned about Zhuo Qingyao's condition, which aroused Xia Dong's suspicion.After thirty years of drinking, the atmosphere was warm.Mei Changsu proposed to play a game: last night he hid the bamboo slips and music score - Guangling San - in the garden, and whoever found it first would give it to him.Xia Chun is a music fanatic, and Yujin is eager to try it. Several groups of people quickly spread out in the garden to search for it.Mei Changsu saw that Qin Banruo wanted to look for him but restrained himself, and took the initiative to suggest that she also go into the garden to look for him.
Qin Banruo is well versed in the extraordinary escape techniques.She took the opportunity to explore Su's house and soon found the dark room, which contained detailed information on important officials in the court.She told King Yu that Mei Changsu had wanted to intervene in the court situation for a long time.Apart from these, nothing else seems to be out of the ordinary.
In fact, this game was designed by Mei Changsu for Xia Chun and Qin Banruo.He wanted to ensure that the secret passage between Su Zhai and Prince Jing's Mansion could not be discovered even by agency masters like Xia Chun and Qin Banruo.
Mei Changsu asked Meng Zhi and Ni Huang not to reveal their identities in front of Prince Jing at any time.If King Jing knew that he was Lin Shu, he would first consider how to protect Lin Shu when doing anything. If this was the case, King Jing would have many worries and it would be difficult to accomplish anything big.Meng Zhi and Nihuang understood his painstaking efforts.They both expressed their intention to take care of Mei Changsu and never let him be wronged. Mei Changsu was very moved by their sincere affection.
Qin Banruo found out that the hostage of the Southern Chu royal family was related to the Ningguo Mansion more than 20 years ago, and King Yu nodded in agreement.It turned out that the eldest princess of Liyang had fallen in love with the Nanchu proton, which caused an uproar in the capital. Soon after, she suddenly married Xie Yu, who only had a low-ranking military rank at the time.After the marriage, Xie Yu was promoted to a first-class military prince, and his promotion was astonishingly fast.Later, he became the emperor's favorite by virtue of his status as an imperial relative and the Red Flame Army's counter-case.Qin Banruo wanted to find loopholes in the eldest princess's old relationship and waited for an opportunity to bring down Xie Yu.
Prince Jing entered Su's house through a secret passage late at night and informed Chief Mei that Su Nanchu's marriage-seeking mission was about to arrive in Beijing.Concubine Jing didn't want Princess Nanchu to marry into Prince Jing's palace, so she came here to ask for a solution.Mei Changsu told him that he would use Taichang Taidivination to make the marriage between Prince Jing and Princess Nanchu not compatible, making it difficult for them to get married.Prince Jing saw that Mei Changsu and even Taichang had someone in place, and he was keenly aware that Mei Changsu came to the capital well prepared.He was suspicious, so he asked Mei Changsu why he cared about Tingsheng and whether he knew King Qi? But Mei Changsu covered him up.
Mu Qing inquired about the news and recounted to Nihuang and Xia Dong the contents of the edict on the death row case: He Jingzhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was dismissed from his post, and He Wenxin executed the original sentence; Qi Min, the Minister of Punishment, was imprisoned and sentenced to exile.During this period of time, the two tigers in the capital were fighting each other, and the situation was treacherous, but the situation was not as long as the other: King Yu lost the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment; the prince lost the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and both sides suffered losses.Now, both sides want to fill their own people into the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel.However, after careful consideration, Emperor Liang finally appointed the centrist Cai Quan, whom King Jing casually mentioned, to temporarily act as the Minister of Punishment.
Meng Zhi went to Prince Jing's palace to visit Shouchun who had been dismissed from office.Chatting with Prince Jing, provoking the topic, and on the pretext of wanting to see the double-stringed sword that Prince Jing had seized from Prince Beidi, he went to the room where Prince Jing hung the sword as he wished.
Since the prince was blamed for neglecting political affairs, Prince Yu thrived, and rumors began to circulate in the court that Prince Yu would replace the crown prince.The balance that had existed for many years was broken, and Emperor Liang was distraught.When he was walking in the palace, he was attracted by the scent of medicine, which suddenly made him want to visit Jingbin, who had been neglected for many years.
According to the plan, Meng Zhi sneaked into Prince Jing's bedroom and opened the door to the secret room by taking advantage of the opportunity of viewing the double-stringed sword.King Jing heard this and hurried back to the bedroom.Meng Zhi admitted that he was familiar with the terrain of Su Zhai and Prince Jing's Mansion, and had discovered that the two secret rooms were connected.He told Prince Jing straight to the point: If Prince Jing intends to seize the legitimate son, he is willing to help him with all his strength, regardless of success or failure, life or death.The two chatted happily, and when they talked about Chi Yan's old case, Prince Jing said that he must investigate the case and clear their names.
Concubine Jing's calmness and rationality made Emperor Liang feel relaxed and comfortable, and he also made the decision to stabilize the situation in the court.Thinking of the neglect he had given her, Emperor Liang wanted to make up for it.Soon, Emperor Liang decreed that Concubine Jing of the Jin Dynasty should be concubine Jing. He pardoned the prince and moved him back to the East Palace, but he still closed his door to think about his mistakes. He ordered King Yu to welcome the Southern Chu envoy on my behalf.
In order to stabilize the border, Emperor Liang sent Nihuang back to Yunnan, but left Mu Qing in the capital as a hostage, which made the Mu family feel heartbroken.Nihuang entrusted his younger brother to Mei Changsu.Looking at Mei Changsu, she softly called Brother Lin Shu and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.The infatuated lovers have been thinking hard for ten years. It is difficult to see each other and it is also difficult to say goodbye.The two hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes, unable to express their feelings of farewell and longing for each other.
Gong Yu sneaked into the Ningguo Hou Mansion late at night to assassinate Xie Yu, but was injured. He fled to Hongxiuzhao and was rescued by Qin Banruo.All this is under Mei Changsu's planning.
Qin Banruo told King Yu the news he got from Gong Yu, and King Yu thought it was a good opportunity to bring down Xie Yu.He immediately told Mei Changsu the news and asked him to plan.
Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xia Dong, Mu Qing and others saw Nihuang off.Yu Wenxuan, the envoy of the Southern Chu Dynasty, deliberately came to provoke.The princess of Nanchu County, Yu Wen Nian, challenged Jin Rui by name. The two fought, but Nian Nian was defeated.It turns out that Nian Nian came here to declare a challenge on behalf of the master.Her master is Yue Xiuze, the commander in front of the Great Chu Palace and sixth on the Langya master list. He is the successor of the Yunjian Sword and was once defeated by Zhuo Dingfeng, the successor of the Tianquan Sword.Currently, Yue Xiuze has arrived in Jinling and will challenge Zhuo Dingfeng face to face.
Xiao Jingrui's birthday has arrived.Mei Changsu, Meng Zhi, Xia Dong, etc. were invited to celebrate, and Gong Yu also came to join in the fun.Mei Changsu sent ten precious heart-protecting pills as a congratulatory gift.Yan Yujin took the opportunity to ask for it, and everyone joked with each other, which was very lively.
Xia Dong has already locked Zhuo Dingfeng as a suspect in the New Year's Eve murder case.She wanted to find evidence through the wounds on the deceased's body.After the dinner started, Xia Dong deliberately proposed to compete with Zhuo Dingfeng in martial arts to learn about his sword skills.But after several rounds, Zhuo Dingfeng, who had been on guard for a long time, did not show any signs of weakness.
At this time, Yue Xiuze ignored the guards' obstruction and broke into Ning Guogong's mansion by force and challenged Zhuo Dingfeng.In a battle between masters, victory or defeat is only a matter of seconds! Zhuo Dingfeng was afraid of exposing his flaws in front of Xia Dong, so he asked to fight again the next day.But Yue Xiuze pressed forward step by step and wanted to compete with Zhuo Dingfeng immediately.Zhuo Dingfeng ignored Xie Yu's obstruction and accepted the challenge in accordance with the rules of the arena. However, at the last moment, he did not use the winning move because he was distracted, causing the veins in his right wrist to be picked, and his entire body was cut off.
At this time, Niannian, who had barged in with Yue Xiuze, walked up to Jingrui, took off her veil, and affectionately called him “brother”! This sudden scene made Jingrui feel like he was struck by lightning.Everyone was also surprised that Nian Nian and Jin Rui had such similar faces.The king of the mausoleum, Yu Wenxuan, pulled Nian Nian to the eldest princess and introduced him: This is Yu Wen Nian, the princess of Xian Dai Princess, the daughter of Prince Sheng Yu Wen Lin.The eldest princess was already in tears.It turned out that King Sheng fell in love with Princess Liyang when he was a hostage in Daliang more than 20 years ago, but the royal family of Daliang objected.Under the coercion of the Queen Mother, King Sheng had no choice but to leave Beijing. At that time, Li Yang was pregnant.
When Jing Rui heard this, his heart suddenly dawned, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart.He turned around to ask for confirmation from the eldest princess. Seeing the eldest princess's face that was still speechless, his heart went cold. He knew that what Prince Ling said was the truth.
At this time, Gong Yu's sad laughter suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone looked at her in confusion.Gong Yu tearfully revealed the cruel truth of that year: It turned out that Xie Yu had already known that the fetus in the eldest princess's belly was not his, and he secretly paid for the murder. Gong Yu's father was the killer who performed this task.
One stone struck a thousand waves, and the Zhuo family felt as if they had been struck by lightning.Xie Yuqing knew that he could not let Gong Yu speak again, so he ordered Gong Yu to be killed on the spot.
Xie Yu was worried that King Yu would break into the mansion, so he quietly sent people to mobilize the patrol camp to guard the gate of his mansion.King Yu, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, was unable to enter Duke Ning's palace, so he had to wait and see.
Inside the government, the two sides were in a stalemate.Gong Yu took the opportunity to tell the truth: At that time, her mother had just become pregnant with Gong Yu, and her father decided to wash his hands for the sake of the child's golden basin and stop being a killer.At this moment, he received the last task: to assassinate Princess Liyang's child on behalf of Xie Yu.However, Li Yang, who had been on guard for a long time, took advantage of the chaos and dropped the child, causing Zhuo Dingfeng's child to be killed by mistake.The father couldn't bear to hear Xie Yu arrange to kill another child again, but was chased to death by Xie Yu.
The truth could no longer be concealed, and the Zhuo and Xie families were in the same situation. Xie Yu ordered the execution of the demon girl Gong Yu and Zhuo's associates, including Mei Changsu and the Zhuo family.
In order to protect Zhuo's family, Xie Bi did not hesitate to threaten his father with suicide. In the end, he lacked the courage and was escorted back to his room.During the melee, Xia Dong released the fireworks signal from the Xuanjing Division.Prince Yu had a reason to enter the palace, but he was blocked by Ouyang Chi, the general of the patrol camp, despite his hard and soft tactics.
Fei Liu opened the secret door of Xie's mansion, and everyone fled to the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake in the backyard, where they were surrounded by soldiers from Xie Yu's mansion.The strong archers of the patrol camp fired arrows at random, putting everyone in great danger.While fighting hard, the arrow suddenly stopped.
It turned out that King Yu was in a stalemate with the generals of the patrol camp. Yan Hou arrived, questioned Xie Yu about the safety of his son Yan Yujin, and took the lead in breaking into the Hou Mansion. Xie Yu panicked.When the situation was tense, Princess Liyang threatened her with death, and Xie Yu was forced to stop.
Gong Yu apologized to the Zhuo family full of guilt and was willing to die in return.Mei Changsu told Zhuo Dingfeng that only by bringing down Xie Yu could he save his family and let him expose Xie Yu's crimes.Zhuo Dingfeng replied that as long as he could save the lives of his wife and children, he was willing to bear all the blame.
Xia Dong thought that he had become Mei Changsu's pawn, and was angry when he left.Li Yang told Yu Wen Nian that it was up to him to decide whether Jin Rui would stay or go, and no one had the right to interfere. Yu Wen Nian had no choice but to leave in tears.At Li Yang's request, King Yu vowed not to be implicated as long as he brought down Xie Yu, and to always treat the Zhuo family well.
Li Yang apologized to the Zhuo family in shame, and she begged the Zhuo family not to hate Xie Qi for this.Mrs. Zhuo, who has a clear sense of grudges, promised that if Xie Qi returns with her son in the future, she will still be the daughter-in-law of the Zhuo family.At this time, King Yu wanted to bring the Zhuo family back to the palace for resettlement.Jingrui suddenly knelt down and called his parents with tears on his face.Mrs. Zhuo hugged him heartbrokenly and said: Good boy, you are not wrong, don't hurt yourself! This situation made Mei Changsu, who was standing by and feeling guilty, even more uncomfortable.
When Lai Yang saw Xie Yu, he surrounded and killed everyone regardless of the consequences. Knowing that Xie Yu had committed a crime, he could not save his life even if he came forward.She persuaded Xie Yu to commit suicide because she could protect his reputation and keep the Xie family's name clear for generations to come.However, Xie Yu believes that even if he has to die before he is desperate, he must die willingly, even if he fights to the death.
King Yu suspected that Mei Changsu and Meng Zhi were closely related, but his doubts were dispelled by Qin Banruo's words.
Prince Jing, who was unable to come forward, knew that the night was dangerous and felt very uneasy.He visited Su's house at night to find out the details.Meng Zhi was worried that King Yu would investigate why Mei Changsu knew about the eldest princess’s secret affairs back then.Mei Changsu reassured him.Because Mei Changsu secretly spread the word about this matter and guided King Yu to find out about it.That night, Gong Yu assassinated Xie Yu and fled to Hongxiuzhao, deliberately revealing the secret of the infanticide to Qin Banruo.After getting the news, King Yu came to Su Zhai with great interest and asked Mei Changsu to help him plan, and everything went smoothly.
Mei Changsu told Meng Zhi to suppress Yu Wenxuan during the hunt the day after tomorrow, so as not to make him think that all the generals in Daliang were like Xie Yu and give birth to wolfish ambitions.Mei Changsu's concern for the country and the people was beyond words, which made King Jing praise him as a national scholar.
King Yu went to the palace to report to Emperor Liang about Xie Yu, and begged him to be exempted from the crime of involvement.Emperor Liang agreed and asked Li Yang to move to the eldest princess' mansion with his children.
Xie Qi had a difficult delivery and unfortunately died trying to save the child.The eldest princess handed over the child to Zhuo Qingyao according to her last wish.Mei Changsu had already felt guilty about Jingrui, but he was even more sad after learning the news.He could only confide his helplessness and bitterness to the ignorant Fei Liu.
The first thing Xia Jiang, the leader of the Xuanjing Division, did after returning to Beijing was to punish Xia Dong for going beyond her duties in the Xuanjing Division and getting involved in party strife in violation of regulations, causing her to confine herself to reflect on her mistakes.Xia Jiang met with Emperor Liang and suggested that someone was behind Xie Yu's case.Emperor Liang believed that anyone who could influence Ningguo's government should not be underestimated, so he ordered him to investigate secretly.
Xia Jiang was ordered by Emperor Liang to visit Xie Yu in prison.It turned out that there had been collusion between him and Xie Yu.He promised Xie Yu that as long as he gritted his teeth, he could save his life.
King Jing showed great power in the paddock and was rewarded heavily by Emperor Liang.Mei Changsu secretly sent people to cut off the spies arranged by Hong Xiuzhao in the palaces of various courtiers.
King Yu came to Su's house in anger.It turned out that after Emperor Liang met Xia Jiang, he began to suspect that there was something fishy about Xie Yu's case.Xie Yu also denied to death the murder of an internal prisoner, a major crime that undermined the royal power, and only admitted to some crimes he had committed to help the prince.For a while, Emperor Liang was hesitant about what to do with Xie Yu.
According to Mei Changsu's arrangement, King Yu asked Zhuo Dingfeng to list the names of those killed by Xie Yu over the years.Many of the deceased Zhuo Dingfeng did not know the motive of the murder, such as the teacher Li Chongxin.Mei Changsu therefore speculated that Xia Jiang and Xie Yu did not have a close personal relationship, but he was so protective of Xie Yu that he might have hidden secrets. For example, Xie Yu had killed someone on Xia Jiang's behalf.
Mei Changsu speculated that Xia Jiang had something to do with Xie Yu, so he asked King Yu to arrange a meeting with Xie Yu in prison.Fei Liu followed Mei Changsu's instructions and sneaked into the Xuanjing Division to deliver a message to Xia Dong.
Mei Changsu and Fei flow into Tianlao to visit Xie Yu.He knew that Xie Yu was quick-minded and difficult to deal with, so he resorted to aggressive tactics, saying that he was stupid and Xia Jiang was the smart one.He played steadily and gradually battled wits and courage with Xie Yu.He analyzed that Xia Jiang would first promise to save his life and change the death penalty to exile. However, as a person, Xia Jiang would only trust the dead to keep secrets. Therefore, as soon as Xie Yu walked out of the prison, it would be the end of his life, and every step would lead to death..
At the same time, Prince Yu personally went to Xuanjing Division to meet with Xia Jiang.On the grounds of collecting evidence during the case, he asked Xia Jiang: Zhuo Dingfeng once testified that Xie Yu killed Li Chongxin for Xia Shouzun 17 years ago.Xie Yu had already killed him, but after Xia Shouzun came back, he confessed that he wanted to kill him.Is this related to Xia Shouzun? Xia Jiang denied it, but King Yu had already planted a thorn in his heart and felt that Xie Yu could not be trusted.
Although Xie Yu knew that Mei Changsu was right, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and chose to believe Xia Jiang.At this time, Mei Changsu told him calmly: In fact, your last way of survival has been cut off by me.Because King Yu had already verified the case with Xia Jiang.
Mei Changsu succeeded in convincing Xie Yu that Xia Jiang had suspected that he had betrayed him, and the trust between the two was gone.Mei Changsu said that as long as Xie Yu tells the truth about Li Chongxin, his life will be saved.
Xie Yu knew that he had no way out, so he finally lowered his defeated head to Mei Changsu.It turned out that thirteen years ago, Li Chongxin, who could imitate other people's handwriting, forged a letter asking for help from Nie Feng on Xia Jiang's behalf. The letter wrote: Lin Xie, the leader of the Red Flame Army, has conspired to rebel. In order to silence me, he drove me to death in the hope of rescue.Later, Xie Yu led his army and killed the unsuspecting forward general Nie Feng, bringing back only half of the remains.At that time, Xia Jiang was afraid that his disciple Xia Dong would find out, so he hinted Xie Yu to kill Li Chongxin's family.At the same time, in the cell next to Xie Yu, Prince Jing and Xia Dong, who were invited by Mei Changsu, heard everything clearly.
Even the source of Nie Feng's letter for help was fake! After learning the truth about Chi Yan's rebellion, the three of them had complicated emotions.Xia Dong said sorry to Prince Jing, staggered away, and came to the grave of her husband Nie Feng with infinite regret.Prince Jing was in a heavy heart. Although it was not the day to enter the palace, he especially wanted to see his mother.When he came to Concubine Jing, he couldn't help crying and said: "I miss Xiao Shu."“
When Mei Changsu came back from prison, he kept silent and sat quietly. He didn't expect the truth to be like this! After a long time, Prince Jing came to see Mei Changsu from the secret passage.He was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to use this detailed clue to investigate the unjust case and vindicate King Qi and the Lin family.Mei Changsu said calmly: The root cause of this counter-case was that Emperor Liang suspected that King Qi was rebellious and deliberately planned it.Even if the truth is found, the injustice will be cleared up.
In the palace, the Empress Dowager was on her deathbed. She was unconsciously calling over and over again: ”Jinyang, Xiaoshu...%
King Jing was determined to thoroughly investigate the case of King Qi's rebellion.Mei Changsu advised Prince Jing: If the case is thoroughly investigated, it will cause endless disasters, which will not be of any benefit to what he is planning now, and the injustice will never be vindicated.However, Prince Jing remained unmoved at all.He spoke sincerely and resolutely, and asked Mei Changsu to plan for him. He must avenge King Qi and Lin Jiaping, otherwise he would be sorry for his old brothers and would have trouble sleeping and eating.Mei Changsu couldn't help but be moved. He was deeply moved and promised to do his best to help him find out the truth.Prince Jing solemnly bowed to him and expressed his deep gratitude.
At this time, the mourning sound of the death of the Empress Dowager suddenly came from the palace, and King Jing left in a hurry.Mei Changsu thought of his great-grandmother's love for him, and felt so sad that he vomited blood.
Daliang entered the period of national mourning.During the thirty-day period of filial piety, the filial piety rituals were strict. All princes had to stay in the Xiao Palace, kowtow, cry and offer sacrifices, and were not allowed to eat at will.The pampered prince and Prince Yu often violated the rules and went beyond the norm. Only Prince Jing strictly observed filial piety and worshiped sincerely.The moral qualities of each prince were suddenly revealed, and the ministers who were watching could see it.
During these thirty days, Mei Changsu fulfilled his filial piety alone in his room.His longing for and love for the Queen Mother lingered in his heart for a long time, making the grief of losing a loved one more solemn and profound.When he recalled the days he spent with his great-grandmother, he was like an iceberg being roasted on a fire, warm at one moment and bitingly cold at the other.Nihuang was worried that he was too sad and rushed to Su Zhai on Pegasus.Mei Changsu poured out all his grief before his mood calmed down a little.Nihuang didn't want to go back to Yunnan, so she decided to go to Weiling to keep vigil and stay with Mei Changsu.Mei Changsu thought it would be safer to go to Wei Ling, so he agreed to Ni Huang.
Xie Yu left Beijing for the place of exile. Jingrui and Xie Bi accompanied Princess Liyang to see him off.Xie Yu wrote down the secrets he had in accordance with Mei Changsu's instructions and kept them under Li Yang's personal care.If he dies, the manuscript will become irrefutable evidence, and Xia Jiang will not dare to attack him.Xia Dong came with anger, intending to kill his enemy, but Jing Rui saw that the situation was wrong and stood in front of Xie Yu.Xia Dong was sarcastic and sharp, making Xie Yu frightened.
Regarding the control of the patrol camp, the two factions of Prince Yu and King were arguing. Emperor Liang was unable to make a decision and felt agitated.At the reminder of Gao Zhan, the chief internal supervisor, Emperor Liang came to see Concubine Jing, who was celebrating her birthday. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Concubine Jing and Prince Jing enjoying their family life happily, which warmed his heart.
Because of his ability in doing things, Emperor Liang decided to reward King Jing.King Jing begged Emperor Liang to pardon a prisoner serving in exile in Lingnan, which made Emperor Liang misunderstand.It was explained that the criminal was an ordinary doctor who was implicated for the crime of lese majeste.Concubine Jing had worshiped him as her teacher when she was young, and could not bear to see him die in a foreign land in his old age.After hearing this, Emperor Liang realized that he had misunderstood, so he nodded in approval.
The fight between the prince and Prince Yu's snipe and clam finally ended up just as Mei Changsu expected - Prince Jing, a fisherman, gained the advantage.In Zhiluo Palace, the filial piety of Prince Jing, the gentleness of Concubine Jing, and the warm atmosphere of motherly kindness and filial piety made Emperor Liang calm down.He decided to hand over the patrol camp to King Jing.Prince Jing hesitated slightly when he thought that Mei Changsu asked him to keep a low profile, but he knew he could not refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.Emperor Liang also granted King Jing permission to enter the palace to pay his respects to his mother and concubine at any time without having to ask for a separate order. King Jing was overjoyed when he heard this.
Mr. Thirteen reported that more than half of Qin Banruo's spy agents had been removed.Mei Changsu felt that the matter was too smooth, and suspected that Princess Xuanji of the Hua tribe had other people who had not been handed over to Qin Banrui, so he ordered him to continue the investigation and not to be careless.
Meng Zhi visits Mei Changsu, who is writing annotations for "Xiang Di Ji". Meng Zhi can no longer see his previous handwriting.At this time, King Yu suddenly broke into the house, and Meng Zhi had to retreat into the secret room to escape, and conveniently brought Xiang Di Ji into the secret room.
King Yu was filled with resentment.He told Mei Changsu that Emperor Liang handed over the control of the patrol camp to Prince Jing, and also gave Prince Jing the privilege of entering the palace to visit his mother at any time. Even Emperor Liang had been increasingly favoring him recently.Relaxation.
Mei Changsu blamed King Yu. After Xie Yu's case, he reminded him to stop temporarily, but King Yu insisted on fighting forcefully, which made the emperor displeased.Emperor Liang promoted Prince Jing to express his attitude to Prince Yu. The only way to depose the crown prince was because Emperor Liang hated him, not because Prince Yu forced him to make a decision.Mei Changsu deliberately mentioned Qin Banrui. Because her spy was pulled out and her intelligence was poor, King Yu was obviously dissatisfied.
Qin Banruo, who had almost all his informants removed at this time, suspected that this counterattack came from the Jiangzuo Alliance.She asked for help from her fellow senior sister, Fourth Sister, who had been living in seclusion for many years.The fourth sister said that now there is no country, no roots, no foundation, and there is no hope for the Hua people to regain their country. She advised Qin Prajna to retire and live his own life.Qin Ban weakly but stubbornly stated that even if there was no hope for the Hua people to recover, they would destroy Daliang.After weighing for a long time, the fourth sister finally agreed to help her one last time.
Mei Changsu asked King Yu to treat Zhuo Dingfeng well, and King Yu nodded in agreement.After seeing off King Yu, Mei Changsu came to the secret passage and found that King Jing was also there.Mei Changsu told Prince Jing not to advance rashly, nor not to advance, and not to relinquish the position of power in the patrol camp.He analyzed that the emperor allowed King Jing to do the prince's work, and the title of prince of Jin was just around the corner.If King Yu is not willing to give in, he will use his strength to make the emperor deal with the consequences of his kindness.Before leaving, Prince Jing asked for a loan - Xiang Di Ji - and upon seeing it, Mei Changsu agreed after being startled.
Meng Zhi saw something strange and asked the reason.It turns out that there is a place name in "Xiang Di Ji" that is the same as Mei Changsu's mother's maiden name. In order to avoid taboos since childhood, Mei Changsu would reduce the number of strokes when writing, which has become a habit.He was worried that Prince Jing would discover traces of Lin Shu's past from the annotations, but he was relieved after thinking that Prince Jing could not possibly know his mother's maiden name.
The Nanchu delegation left Beijing, and Nian Nian stayed in the capital alone.She begged Princess Liyang to let her take her brother Xiao Jingrui to Nanchu to meet his father.Li Yang sincerely told Niannian: Jing Rui is kind-hearted by nature, and he cares most about love.Although he looked calm on the outside, he must have been grieving deeply inside. I wanted to be by his side when he was in such pain.
Qin Banruo took his fourth sister to sit in the restaurant. From the window, he could see the back door of Su's house.At this time, Tong Lu entered Su's house again under the pretext of delivering food to deliver news.Qin Banruo pointed at Tong Lu and asked the fourth sister to attack the man.She verified that several of the eyeliners that had been removed were related to Tong Lu, so she suspected that the downfall of Hong Xiuzhao must be related to the Su family. Moreover, under the premise that Mei Changsu had repeatedly made meritorious deeds, King Yu lost his troops and lost his generals.It was not as good as before, which made her full of doubts.
Jingrui finally decided to follow Yuwen Nian back to Dachu, but Yan Yujin flew over to dissuade him. He was relieved to learn that Jingrui was not gone forever.Yujin is optimistic and free-spirited, and with his comfort, Jingrui feels a little relaxed.At this time, Mei Changsu was already waiting at Changting to see him off.Jingrui, who once regarded Mei Changsu as a mentor and helpful friend, said frankly: He was sad, but he did not hate Mei Changsu.People always have choices and will choose what they think is important. He can't force Mei Changsu to value this friendship as much as he does.Mei Changsu lamented his tolerance and asked him to always maintain this innocent heart.Jingrui left, and Mei Changsu ordered Zhu Chen to follow him secretly to ensure his safety in Dachu.
Because the period of national mourning had not passed, Emperor Liang's birthday was kept simple.When Emperor Liang saw that King Jing had given him his favorite bow and arrow, it showed that he was sincere and happy in his heart. However, he did not say anything about it. He just praised in public that the Taihu Shoushan stone given by the king was the most satisfactory.At the birthday banquet in the inner palace, Concubine Yue's frail, pale and haggard face evoked the past friendship between Emperor Liang and her intention to regain his favor.
The next day, Emperor Liang felt unwell. The princes all went to the palace to pay their respects. King Jing then went to see his mother and concubine.During the chat, he accidentally mentioned the Xiang Di Ji he borrowed from Mei Changsu. Concubine Jing was very interested and asked Prince Jing to bring it to him next time.
The fourth sister pretended to be unconscious on the roadside, and her aunt Qiu Mama, who came to look for her relatives, happened to live next door to Tong Lu's house.Everyone asked Tong Lu, who was passing by, to take her there.
When Emperor Liang recovered from his illness, he proposed to go to the East Palace to enjoy the osmanthus, hoping to appease the prince.He ordered Gao Zhan to make arrangements privately without notifying the prince first.When the group arrived at the East Palace, the servant who went to report to the prince was in a panic, which made Emperor Liang suspicious. He immediately stopped the servant and went to report the news.
Without reporting, Emperor Liang came outside the palace gate.In the hall, silk and bamboo resonated, drums and music sounded, and the sound of drinking and having fun could not be heard.Performing music during the funeral was a great act of unfilial piety. Emperor Liang was angry that he would not argue with him, and he was filled with resentment in his heart.At this time, he heard the prince accuse him of being immoral. Emperor Liang was so angry that he drew his sword and wanted to kill him. However, Gao Zhan dissuaded him and turned around in defeat.Emperor Liang strictly ordered the East Palace to be sealed off, and today's events were not allowed to be reported outside.Meng Zhi believed that confinement of the prince was a heavy matter and difficult to carry out with just oral orders, so he asked Emperor Liang to issue an edict.At this time, the prince heard the commotion and came out to see the emperor. Emperor Liang ignored him and left angrily.
After Meng Zhi was ordered to seal the East Palace, he and King Jing came to the secret passage to discuss the changes in the East Palace.Mei Changsu was receiving King Yu, and sent Feiliu to tell them to wait.From Fei Liu's mouth, King Jing learned that Mei Changsu secretly called King Yu poisonous snake.He asked jokingly what he called himself. Fei Liu replied: buffalo.Hearing this, King Jing suddenly remembered that the nickname given to him by the young Lin Shu was the Big Buffalo, and his heart suddenly went up and down.At this time Mei Changsu arrived.When Prince Jing asked, he immediately blamed Fei Liu for not following Princess Nihuang's advice, and then covered it up.
The courtiers who asked for an audience were in a mess outside and were blocked by the queen.Emperor Liang was lying in Zhiluo Palace, looking depressed.He asked Concubine Jing: I am hesitant in doing things today, am I too old? Concubine Jing knew that he was unwilling to depose the prince immediately, so she persuaded him: Your Majesty did not use thunderous wrath today, it is a fatherly kindness, and it has nothing to do with age.Emperor Liang was particularly relieved to hear that Concubine Jing was gentle and respectful, making him feel that Zhiluo Palace was the only quiet place in the harem.
Meng Zhi explained in detail the reason why the East Palace was sealed. Mei Changsu analyzed that Emperor Liang did not want to depose the prince yet. At this time, the defense of the patrol camp and the East Palace must be strengthened to prevent trouble.Meng Zhi complained about Gao Zhan, and he blocked several requests from Mingfa to ban the East Palace.Mei Changsu said that he should be grateful to Gao Zhan, because what Meng Zhi requested was an edict equivalent to deposing the crown prince. Thanks to Gao Zhan, he stopped him, otherwise Emperor Liang would have suspected that he had turned to King Yu.Mei Changsu asked Prince Jing to wait and see what happens. Whoever causes trouble at this time will be unlucky.
Meng Zhi followed Mei Changsu's instructions and asked Prince Jing to borrow the book "Xiang Di Ji". Prince Jing, who was greatly surprised, told him that the book was now with Concubine Jing.After Meng Zhi left, King Jing was thoughtful.
At the same time, King Yu was convening his staff to discuss countermeasures.King Yu believed that he should seize the God-given opportunity of the prince's self-defeat, but he should not rush into it. The top priority was to first find out the reason why the East Palace was sealed, to grasp the direction of the courtiers, and on the surface, he would not do anything.
The queen took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to knock on Emperor Liang's side, confirming that Emperor Liang was determined to imprison the prince, and she couldn't help but be happy.Prince Jing went to Zhiluo Palace to pay his respects and asked for "Xiang Di Ji".Concubine Jing was very reluctant to give up and asked if the annotations in the book were written by Mr. Su.Prince Jing said yes, but felt even more strange in his heart.
Concubine Jing understood that Mr. Su was Lin Shu.She solemnly told Prince Jing that Mr. Su was a sincere person, and she should treat him more kindly than others, and never forget her support.She also specially made a double portion of snacks and ordered Prince Jing to bring one portion to Mr. Su.A series of doubts led King Jing to confirm that there was something strange in Xiang Di Ji. He repeatedly studied it, but could not find the key, which made him confused.
Prince Jing was granted the title of Prince and received a five-bead crown, which was only two beads away from Prince Yu. There were new changes in the political situation, which made Prince Yu very angry.Mei Changsu continued to confuse him and said that it was a good thing for Prince Jing to grant the title, saying that the prince was about to be deposed and the emperor needed a new balance.King Yu expressed annoyance that he had spent ten years fighting against the prince and got nothing, so he had to continue fighting against King Jing. Mei Changsu comforted him and said that King Jing could not compare with the prince.King Yu left Su's house with deep thoughts.Mei Changsu knew that he would never be able to fool King Yu this time, so he began to increase his vigilance.
The fourth sister was gentle and considerate, and successfully got close to Tong Lu, making him fall in love with her and fall into a beauty trap.
After Prince Jing granted the title, he told his mother and concubine to be careful.At this time, rumors spread in the palace that King Jing was not inferior to King Yu, and in some aspects was even better than King Yu.The queen was furious, and King Yu also began to doubt Mei Changsu.
In the court, King Yu and King Jing have started fighting.King Jing studied government affairs, neglected food and sleep, and made rapid progress.One day, Shen Zhui visited Prince Jing's Mansion at night and informed that five states had been hit by drought and locust plagues this year, resulting in no harvest.In the past, the crown prince and Prince Yu competed to be the person in charge of disaster relief. Their purpose was not to save the people from disaster, but to divide the relief funds.Every time they provide disaster relief, the disaster area will be starved to death and mobs will break out because less than 30% of the relief funds fall into the hands of the victims.Shen Zhui implored Prince Jing to be the person in charge of the disaster relief work.
The next day, King Yu and King Jing argued endlessly in front of Emperor Liang about who should go to relieve the disaster.King Yu had no choice but to donate his money to help the people. The incorruptible King Jing was too short of money to compete with him, so the disaster relief project fell into King Yu's hands.
After leaving the palace, Shen Zhui angrily told King Jing that he hoped a thunder would fall from the sky and hit King Yu on the head.Prince Jing went to the Su Mansion to seek advice, lamenting that he was incompetent and quite frustrated.Mentioning Shen Zhui's words during the conversation, Mei Changsu said jokingly: There is a thunder on the way.
It turned out that the Jiangzuo League robbed an escort team in Fuzhou five days ago to deliver gifts to King Yu. The person who gave the gifts was actually the prefect of Yuezhou, which was the worst hit, and it was a heavy gift of more than 5,000 taels of silver.Mei Changsu informed King Jing that he had arranged to spread the matter throughout the streets and alleys of Yuezhou within two days, arousing public resentment and attracting Emperor Liang's attention.
In the palace, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Personnel sent the case of King Yu's bribery to Emperor Liang's desk.King Yu's sophistry was confirmed by Shen Zhui and Cai Quan with ironclad evidence.The royal family lost all face, which made Emperor Liang furious.He knew that King Yu was no longer suitable to take charge of disaster relief matters, so he appointed King Jing instead.
King Jing's disaster relief work was very effective. Emperor Liang and his courtiers praised him, saying that he could fight on horseback and treat on horseback, which made King Yu jealous.Under Qin Banruo's prompting, King Yu, who was drinking to drown his sorrows in his mansion, finally admitted that Mei Changsu had been used by King Jing.Qin Banruo proposed to deal with Mei Changsu and his Jiangzuo Alliance first. In addition to helping King Yu, she also wanted to use King Yu's hand to avenge Jiangzuo Alliance for severely damaging the Red Sleeve Movement.King Yu saw through her mind and pointed out that her plan was inappropriate.King Yu believed that King Jing's support in the court was very solid, not just relying on Mei Changsu, but he had no one among the six departments available.The Jiangzuo Alliance is too powerful and difficult to deal with. It is better to take action from the bottom of the cauldron and start with King Jing.Once Prince Jing fell, Mei Changsu would be useless.The weakness of King Jing is the Chiyan case that has stood between King Jing and Emperor Liang for many years.
In order to get King Yu to cooperate with Xia Jiang, Qin Banruo confessed that he was the descendant of Princess Xuanji of the Hua tribe and was willing to convince Xia Jiang because Xia Jiang had an old relationship with Princess Xuanji.
Xia Jiang sent people to follow Princess Liyang during this period, hoping to kill her to obtain Xie Yu's handwritten letter and take off the sharp sword hanging above his head, but he never had the chance.
Ever since Concubine Jing read "Xiang Di Ji", she always asked Prince Jing to take away two identical snacks, one of which was naturally Mei Changsu's.Mei Changsu looked at the food box, a little worried, and Zhen Ping asked why.It turned out that there was no hazelnut cake in the food box given by Concubine Jing. Mei Changsu could not eat hazelnuts since he was a child, but hazelnut cake was Prince Jing's favorite. He suspected that Concubine Jing already knew his true identity.
Tong Lu sent a message to Mr. Thirteen, and the sect leader ordered the closure of Miaoyinfang.Then he asked the fourth sister, Juan Niang, about the identity verification. Mr. Thirteen confirmed it, and Tong Lu left with peace of mind.
In the severe winter, Mei Changsu kept coughing and his symptoms worsened. He still dragged his sick body to visit Yanhou in person.After entering the door, he heard from Yujin that Jingrui was doing well, which comforted him a little.
Yujin was about to resign, but Yanhou asked him to stay and participate in secret talks.After learning that Mei Changsu was not helping King Yu, but working for King Jing, even though he knew it was unreasonable and had no chance of victory, Yanhou, who was loyal and loyal, was enthusiastic and willing to help.Yujin understands his father's decision and follows it to the death, never regretting it.Mei Changsu received Yanhou's approval and said that he would do his best to protect the Yan family, but Yanhou told Mei Changsu not to worry.During the conversation, Yan Hou suddenly asked if Mei Changsu was an old member of Prince Qi's palace. Mei Changsu explained that he was once a young man who admired the emperor's eldest son, and he has not changed his old aspirations to this day.Yan Hou knew that he was covering up, but did not investigate further.
With Qin Prajna's help, Xia Jiang went to King Yu's appointment as scheduled and agreed with King Yu that he would only help him get rid of King Jing and would not participate in the battle for the throne.In fact, if King Jing is defeated, there will be no one left to compete with King Yu. Xia Jiang is just hiding his ears and stealing the bell.
In Su's house, Tong Lu reported two things: First, after Xie Yu arrived at the exile, he had been attacked several times. The attacks were not ruthless, but mostly probing. Maybe Xia Jiang was afraid of Xie Yu's handwritten note left by the eldest princess;Second, Xia Dong had left Beijing for several months. She went to Jiaxing Pass to find out the situation from Wei Qi, Xie Yu's then left lieutenant. However, Wei Qi was mysteriously killed by the Xuanjing Division before she arrived.Mei Changsu ordered someone to protect Princess Liyang and prevent Xie Yu's handwritten letter from being taken away.After Tong Lu left, Zhen Ping, who had always been careful, found that Tong Lu was a little different from before. Mei Changsu ordered him to pay more attention to Mr. Thirteen.At this time, Mei Changsu was seriously ill, and Dr. Yan strictly ordered him to stay in bed and rest.
Tong Lu fell deeply in love and couldn't extricate himself. He decided to propose to Mr. Thirteen that he marry Si Niang, whose pseudonym was Juan Niang.
After Xia Jiang got his revenge, his subordinates lost track of Xia Dong, and the task of assassinating Princess Liyang was not completed. Because Liyang stayed behind closed doors, and the patrol battalion had recently strengthened the defense around the Princess's mansion, there was no chance to take action., Xia Jiang decided to stop temporarily and sent his subordinates to keep an eye on the movements of the eldest princess's house and Xia Dong's return to Beijing.
Xia Jiang told King Yu the information he had about Wei Zheng, thereby creating an opportunity to revisit Chi Yan's old case.It turned out that Wei Zheng was Lin Shu's lieutenant. He escaped death and was rescued by Lord Su Gu of Yaowang Valley and adopted him as his adopted son. He changed his name to Su Xuan and married Yun Piao Liao, the only daughter of the Yun family in Xunyang., more than ten years have passed in hiding.Xia Jiang had figured out the time and route Wei Zheng took to escort the medicinal materials, and sent out elites to set up an ambush, preparing to trap Wei Zheng and ensure that nothing went wrong.
The Empress Dowager's birthday came, and Emperor Liang had to keep vigil for three days, and the harem was not allowed to accompany him. He asked Concubine Jing to prepare sleeping incense for Gao Zhan to take to the imperial mausoleum.Emperor Liang had been restless recently and often dreamed of Concubine Chen. He asked Concubine Jing if she dreamed of her, and Concubine Jing answered cleverly.
King Yu did not think of a good way to use Wei Zheng to implicate King Jing, but the wily Xia Jiang proposed to use Wei Zheng as a bait to lure King Jing to rescue him. Given King Jing's character, he would not stand idly by.As long as Prince Jing is caught, the emperor will be furious.Qin Banruo was worried that Mei Changsu might dissuade King Jing from rescuing Wei Zheng, so King Yu set up a trap to drive a wedge between the two, so that King Jing would not listen to Mei Changsu's advice.
On the way to deliver medicine, Wei Zheng and his party encountered a heavy ambush by the Xuanjing Division and suffered heavy casualties. In order to save his brothers, Wei Zheng put down his weapons and was captured.
Meng Zhi was going to accompany Emperor Liang to the imperial mausoleum to keep vigil. When he was leaving, he saw Mei Changsu lying unconscious in bed. He was very worried and asked about Mei Changsu's true condition. Li and Zhen were unable to explain clearly and just told him not to worry.
King Yu asked the queen for help and banned Concubine Jing for a few days.According to King Yu's plan, the queen searched out Huan Gecao from Concubine Jing's medicine cabinet, and she and the imperial doctor who had colluded with her long ago took Concubine Jing away on the grounds that the herb was poisonous and harmful to the dragon's body, and sealed the Zhiluo Palace.Xiaoxin, the maid serving Concubine Jing, escaped from the palace under the arrangement of Prince Yu and successfully entered Prince Jing's palace to report the news.Lie Zhanying arranged for Qi Meng to take Xiaoxin to the imperial mausoleum to ask Emperor Liang for help.
Under Dr. Yan's careful treatment, Mei Changsu, who had been sleeping for three days, finally passed the most dangerous moment. However, his body was still weak and he still had to rest for several days.Li Gang and Zhen Ping, who were well aware of the sect master's condition, received news of Wei Zheng's arrest and Concubine Jing's ban one after another, but they did not inform Mei Changsu.
Qi Meng and Xiaoxin rushed towards the imperial mausoleum, but were stopped halfway by people sent by King Yu to pretend to be Jiang Zuo Alliance.The visitor said that the sect leader asked them to go back without sending a letter, but to use a bitter trick to make the emperor punish the queen.In order to convince Qi Meng of this matter, he further explained that Concubine Jing was of high rank, but she was just wronged, and it was impossible for the Queen to kill her.
Tong Lu was captured by Qin Banruo.Qin Banruo saw that torture could not sway Tong Lu, so he used his fourth sister to threaten him. Tong Lu, who was deeply in love, finally collapsed and confessed to Miaoyinfang and Mr. Thirteen.King Yu immediately sent people to seal up Miaoyinfang. Fortunately, Mr. Thirteen had made preparations in advance, and King Yu found nothing.This incident was seen by Gong Yu.
Mr. Thirteen and Zhen Ping decided to rob Wei Zheng at the city gate. Although they were short of manpower, they had to make a hasty attempt.At this time, Gong Yu came to report, and combined with Tong Lu's unusual whereabouts, they speculated that Tong Lu had rebelled.
King Yu said that his plan was well prepared and asked the queen to let Concubine Jing go.
Xia Qiu's prison car escorting Wei Zheng is approaching the capital.The Xuanjing Division is ready to catch all the intruders who robbed the prison car.
After Emperor Liang returned to the palace, he angrily scolded the queen.The queen insisted that she did not know medical skills, and she was worried that the dragon's body would be damaged, so she interrogated Concubine Jing severely.Concubine Jing came to plead for mercy, and Emperor Liang, who had seen through the queen's thoughts, agreed not to pursue the case.
Zhen Ping and Li Gang, without telling Mei Changsu, led Fei Liu and a group of masters from the Jiangzuo League to ambush at the west gate of Jinling, preparing to rob Wei Zheng.The prison car approached and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.Experts from the Xuanjing Division gathered together, and the Jiangzuo Alliance, which acted hastily, suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.Zhen Ping was injured and evacuated. Fortunately, he was covered by Yujin who was passing by and escaped back to Su's house.They knew that after Wei Zheng was imprisoned in the dungeon of Xuanjing Division, it would be easier to defend than to attack, and rescue would be even more difficult.
Concubine Chen fell asleep every night, making Emperor Liang suspicious.In order to seek peace of mind, he arranged for Concubine Jing to secretly set up a memorial tablet for Concubine Chen, so that she could enter reincarnation as soon as possible and not linger on the earthly world.
Xia Qiu suggested to Xia Jiang to strengthen the dungeon defense.Xia Jiang said that it would be fine as usual.Because Wei Zheng's value is fishing and tempting him to rescue him.
Master Su Gu of Yaowang Valley rushed to Jinling with all his horses to discuss the plan to rescue Wei Zheng with Li, Zhen and others.After waking up, Mei Changsu learned about this from Fei Liu and ordered the old Langzhou troops to lie dormant and not to move rashly.
When King Jing returned to the capital, Lie Zhanying was about to report Wei Zheng before King Jing entered the palace. Unexpectedly, when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by King Yu, who then pulled King Jing into the palace. Lie Zhanying had no chance to tell King Jing.
In front of Emperor Liang, Prince Yu and Xia Jiang were in harmony, deliberately irritating Prince Jing about Wei Zheng, and were aggressive and urging each other step by step.During the refutation, King Jing couldn't help but reveal his respect and nostalgia for King Qi and Lin Shuai. That kind of admiration deeply poked the heart of Emperor Liang, making Emperor Liang furious.
Prince Jing went to Zhiluo Palace to visit Concubine Jing.When they were about to leave, Xiaoxin who was standing by him deliberately let it slip, apologizing for Concubine Jing being bullied. He also described in detail Mei Changsu's cruel tricks and deliberately sent people to stop her and Qi Meng, preventing them from delivering a letter to rescue Concubine Jing.Concubine Jing noticed something was wrong and quickly explained, but Prince Jing was still furious.
King Jing was furious after leaving the palace. He told Lie Zhanying waiting outside the palace that he had mistakenly looked at Mei Changsu.
In the secret passage, Mei Changsu waited anxiously for Prince Jing to discuss Wei Zheng's matter.Prince Jing misunderstood Mei Changsu's character and temperament after listening to Xiaoxin's words, and hesitated for a long time, unwilling to see him.Under Lie Zhanying's persuasion, Prince Jing entered the secret passage with him.
Knowing that Xia Jiang was setting a trap, King Jing and Lie Zhanying still asked Mei Changsu to rescue Wei Zheng without hesitation. Their friendship for their comrades was far more important than their own safety.When Wei Zheng was arrested, Mei Changsu was equally anxious, but he still rationally pointed out that rescuing Wei Zheng would do a lot of harm but nothing good, and advised King Jing to know how to make choices when pursuing a great cause.This attitude made Prince Jing, who had misunderstood him for a long time, even more angry. Before Mei Changsu could finish speaking, Prince Jing swung his sword to temporarily cut off the bell rope that communicated messages in the secret passage, broke with Mei Changsu, and left with a wave of sleeves.
Concubine Jing became suspicious of Xiaoxin. She quietly interrogated Xiaoxin about the process of delivering the letter, and found out that Xiao Jinzi from Concubine Hui's palace helped.Emperor Liang, who had been dreaming about Concubine Chen frequently in recent days, had many thoughts on his mind. After going to court, he came to Zhiluo Palace again.He asked Concubine Jing about her views on Chi Yan's old case, but Concubine Jing did not give a substantive reply.During the chat, Emperor Liang mentioned that he had caught a fish that had slipped through the crackdown. Before he could finish his words, Concubine Jing was so shocked that she dropped the tea cup in her hand to the ground.She thought the traitor she caught was Lin Shu, but she calmed down when she found out it was Wei Zheng.Emperor Liang asked Concubine Jing to restrain Prince Jing more and stop being stubborn about the counter-case and acting without proper measure.
Afraid that Prince Jing would act impulsively, Mei Changsu carried his sick body and braved the heavy snow to go to Prince Jing's Mansion. He waited in the drafty foyer for a long time before Prince Jing came out to meet him.At this time Meng Zhi also rushed over.Mei Changsu tried hard to persuade him, but no matter how dangerous he faced, Prince Jing would not hesitate to save Wei Zheng.Mei Changsu was deeply moved by King Jing's heroic spirit and deep love for Lin Shu, and he decided to take the risk to rescue Wei Zheng.
He discussed in detail the strategy of rescuing Wei Zheng with King Jing and Meng Zhi.During the conversation, King Jing learned that the Jiangzuo Alliance had organized personnel to rescue Wei Zheng once and had lost many people. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood Mei Changsu, and his expression finally softened.Mei Changsu believed that he had to make arrangements to save Wei Zheng. Prince Jing could not come forward, and no one from Prince Jing's palace could be involved in this matter, otherwise all the previous efforts in seizing the legitimate son would be wasted.He hoped that Prince Jing would calm down and face the provocations of Prince Xia Jiang and Prince Yu calmly, and not be caught openly.After careful consideration, several people thought that there was no other way but to rob them hard, but they had to wait for Xia Dong, who was most familiar with the dungeons of the Xuanjing Division, to come back to Beijing and lend a helping hand, which would be half the success.
King Jing believed that Mei Changsu, as a counselor to persuade Xia Dong, was suspected of party fighting and could easily cause misunderstanding.He decided to come forward in person and show his affection, which would make it easier for Xia Dongnian to help them for the sake of his late husband and his comrades.
At the end of the year, Emperor Liang used the Taishi order to measure the ominous horoscope, deposed the prince as King Xian, and ordered him to move to Xianzhou.King Jing was successful in relieving the disaster, so he added two royal beads to rival King Yu. At the end of the year ceremony, he and King Yu took the place of the deposed prince, performing the ceremony of accompanying the two princes.King Yu was very angry about this.Qin Banruo analyzed that this was Emperor Liang's warning to King Jing, and the extra kindness was to remind him not to act rashly.
Concubine Jing learns that Xiao Jinzi, who helped Xiaoxin escape from the palace when she was banned by the queen, died of a sudden illness, making her even more suspicious of Xiaoxin.
It’s New Year’s Eve again.Zhen Ping reported that Xia Dong had entered the city, and Mei Changsu instructed to start a rescue plan.He knew that as a counselor, he did something he knew he couldn't do and didn't make the right choice.Because Xia Jiang hit his own target, these men who value military friendship more than their lives will risk their lives even if they know that the front is dangerous.
The New Year's Eve banquet in the palace was lively with singing and dancing.In order to promote King Jing, Emperor Liang specially asked him to take charge of giving vegetables to important ministers outside the palace, which made the Queen and King Yu jealous.
Xia Dong returned to Beijing and prepared dishes, and went to the dungeon of the Xuanjing Division to visit Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng's words "Mrs. Sister-in-law" made Xia Dong burst into tears, but this scene was watched by Xia Jiang in the dark.
At the New Year's Eve banquet at Zhiluo Palace, Xiaoxin excused herself to be ill and went back to her room early. The person waiting for her in the room was the fourth sister! It turned out that Xiaoxin was also from the Hua tribe and was Qin Banruo's spy next to Concubine Jing.The fourth sister had a true love for Tong Lu and had to follow Qin Banruo to protect Tong Lu's life.Thinking of her situation, she told Xiaoxin to take care of herself, but Xiaoxin did not understand the meaning of her words.
Taihang thieves took advantage of the New Year's Day to sneak into the capital. On New Year's Eve, they broke into several high-ranking officials' mansions and stole treasures. Even the Fire Phoenix Pearl stored in the Baoguang Pavilion of the Ministry of Rites was stolen.Emperor Liang was furious, and King Jing said that he would do his best to investigate and dispatch patrol camps throughout the city to search for him.
Concubine Jing went to Concubine Hui's palace to secretly investigate the cause of Xiao Jin's death.Xiaoxin, who stayed in the palace, took the opportunity to sneak into the palace to search, found the memorial tablet of Concubine Chen, and quickly reported the matter to the queen.
After learning that Mei Changsu and Prince Jing had done something about Wei Zheng knowingly that they couldn't do anything, Yanhou was deeply moved and decided to help them, and Yujin also expressed his full help.
In order to help King Jing get rid of the suspicion of being the mastermind behind the scenes, Mei Changsu discussed with the master of Sulao Valley to use the name of Yaowang Valley for this operation, and the master of Sulao Valley readily agreed.
In order not to get involved in party disputes, Xia Jiang refused to allow King Yu to visit Wei Zheng and asked his fourth sister to deliver the news by name.This made King Yu feel that the fourth sister was careless in doing things, but there was nothing he could do about it.Princess Yu pushed the door open and told Prince Yu about Concubine Jing's private memorial tablet for Concubine Chen. She also told the Queen about her plan, preparing to combine internal and external forces and seize the right opportunity to hit the target.King Yu was overjoyed.
In Su's house, Mei Changsu summoned more than thirty top experts to make careful arrangements according to the action plan to rescue Wei Zheng on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Under Mei Changsu's planning, Yujin came to Prince Ji's Mansion.He deliberately leaked Gong Yu's whereabouts, and Prince Ji, who loved music, immediately became interested. The two made an appointment to listen to Gong Yu's new music together on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month.At the same time, Marquis Yan asked Xia Jiang to go to Hanzhong in the western suburbs outside the city for a while and told him that he had received news about Xia Jiang's son.Yanhou expected that Xia Jiang would have to go after hearing the letter, because he had been looking for his son for many years without success.
Early in the morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Dong went out of the city to pay homage to Nie Feng as in previous years.In order to get rid of Xia Qiu, she asked him to help her catch the suspect and took him away from the Xuanjing Division.The cunning Xia Jiang expected that someone would rob the prison today, so he informed his fourth sister and asked King Yu to find a reason to stay with Emperor Liang today.
Xia Jiang arrived at the appointment on time.Yanhou deliberately delayed time and only mentioned the news about his son under Xia Jiang's questioning.It turns out that many years ago, Mrs. Xia was kind-hearted and rescued Princess Xuanji of the Hua tribe from the Ye Youting. She treated her like a sister, but unexpectedly she repaid her kindness and actually hooked up with her husband Xia Jiang.Mrs. Xia was sad and angry, so she ran away with her son and never returned.Five years ago, Mrs. Xia wrote a letter to Yan Hou. In the letter, she mentioned that her son had died as a minor due to brain disease.
Xia Jiang didn't believe it after hearing it, so Yanhou handed the letter to Xia Jiang.Xia Jiang didn't say a word after reading it, and tore the letter into pieces without cherishing it.His indifference to his married wife is clearly visible.
Xia Jiang knew that King Jing deliberately sent Marquis Yan to lure him out of the city, with the purpose of going to the Xuanjing Division to rescue Wei Zheng, but he did not panic because he had already set a trap - Wei Zheng had been transferred to Dali Temple and imprisoned, and it was foolproof; in the dungeonThere were piles of fire and mines, and as long as they were detonated, the corpses of the intruders would be gone.
Yanque was very angry when he learned about the gunpowder.He asked Xia Jiang whether he had considered Xia Dong's safety, but Xia Jiang believed that Xia Dong was a traitor to the Xuanjing Division and his death would not be a pity.Xia Chun on the side couldn't bear it and begged for Xia Dong's mercy, but Xia Jiang was indifferent.
Yan Que sternly accused Xia Jiang of being ruthless and meaningless, and would eventually be defeated by friendship; while the cold-blooded Xia Jiang laughed at Yan Que for being burdened by friendship throughout his life.Looking at his despicable face, Yan Que said that he could not stay with him for another moment and that he could leave.The words “can” made Xia Jiang suspicious.After he went out to visit, he found that his mount had been stolen. He screamed that he had been deceived, and hurried back to the city with Xia Chun.
As soon as Xia Jiang entered the Xuanjing Division, the guards who stayed behind in the Xuanjing Division reported to Xia Jiang the strange behavior of the robbers who rushed to the dungeon door but did not enter, and then broke out.Xia Jiang thought carefully about what happened before and after, and believed that King Jing had found the real place where Wei Zheng was imprisoned, and implemented a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, and Wei Zheng might have been rescued.Xia Jiang was shocked when he thought of this. Before he could think about it carefully, he and Xia Chun Pegasus rushed to the Dali Temple prison where Wei Zheng was imprisoned.The prison was calm as usual, and Xia Jiang realized that he had fallen into the enemy's trap and became the guide, but it was too late. Zhen Ping and others who were secretly following them had already followed them to Dali Temple.Xia Jiang and the others were defeated, but Fei Liu and others successfully rescued Wei Zheng.
King Jing was very happy to receive the news that Wei Zheng had been rescued.Mei Changsu calmly told him to be ready to enter the next battlefield and insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him.
In the palace, King Yu presented Emperor Liang with a strange stone with the characters "Liang Sheng" on it. All the officials praised that Emperor Liang was a saint and auspicious, and Emperor Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed.At this time, Xia Jiang rushed into the palace in a panic to report that Wei Zheng had been robbed.The traitor dared to enter the Xuanjing Division to rob people, which made Emperor Liang very angry. He believed that the matter must be related to Prince Jing, so he summoned Prince Jing to the palace.
At the same time, King Ji was happily listening to Gong Yu's new music as requested by Yujin.Gong Yu excused the lack of air in the house and pushed open the window. The unsuspecting King Ji walked to the window and saw Xia Dong in the alley downstairs, carrying a seriously injured prisoner onto the carriage, and he could clearly see the prisoner's face.looks.
When Emperor Liang questioned Wei Zheng, King Jing pretended not to know, and asked to confront Xia Jiang.Xia Jiang and King Yu pressed forward step by step, but King Jing responded fluently and calmly, leaving Xia Jiang unable to explain why Wei Zheng was imprisoned in Dali Temple separately.At this time, the Queen sent someone to report that Concubine Jing was found to be disobedient in Zhiluo Palace. The furious Emperor Liang kicked King Jing to the ground.
The furious Emperor Liang came to Zhiluo Palace, and the queen proudly told him the whole story. Only then did Emperor Liang find out that Concubine Jing had secretly set up a memorial tablet for Concubine Chen. This matter was arranged by himself, and only he and JingThe concubine knows.Looking at Concubine Jing who was kneeling in the palace and not defending himself, he felt that Concubine Jing was considerate and protective of him, and felt a little at ease.In order to help Concubine Jing vent her anger, Emperor Liang ordered Xiaoxin to be executed for betraying the master. Concubine Jing quickly requested that she be dealt with by herself, and Emperor Liang agreed.Emperor Liang originally wanted to deal with it, but the queen refused to give in. She argued hard, so he had to symbolically punish Concubine Jing. This move made the queen puzzled.
Concubine Jing's virtuous and sensible attitude allowed Emperor Liang to calm down and return to the main hall. His expression softened slightly and he asked Prince Jing to stand up and reply.Xia Jiang asked questions repeatedly, and King Jing answered fluently.Seeing that the situation was not good, King Yu mentioned the old relationship between King Jing and the Red Flame Army, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Liang. Xia Jiang took the opportunity to ask Emperor Liang for an order to interrogate Mei Changsu.King Jing was very anxious when he heard this and tried his best to stop it, but his emotions were inevitably exposed and made Emperor Liang suspicious again.Emperor Liang granted Xia Jiang's request and ordered King Jing to return to the palace to meditate without going out. He also asked him to temporarily hand over the jurisdiction of the patrol camp to the Ministry of War.
Mei Changsu had already expected that he would be implicated. He arranged the next steps in advance, took life-saving pills, and waited quietly in the house.
After Emperor Liang left, Concubine Jing immediately interrogated Xiaoxin.Only then did Xiaoxin realize that Concubine Jing had already seen through her identity as a craftsman and deliberately asked her to find Concubine Chen's tablet to confirm her inference.It turned out that Concubine Jing had a clue about Xiaoxin crying in front of Prince Jing about being banned, and Xiao Jinzi's sudden death made her even more convinced that something was fishy.Concubine Jing saved her so that she could tell Prince Jing the truth in person, so that Prince Jing and Mei Changsu could clear up their past feud.
The imprisoned King Jing heard that Xia Jiang had taken Mei Changsu away, and was extremely anxious. He wanted to go to the Xuanjing Division to replace Mei Changsu.Lie Zhanying stopped him and reminded him to remember Mr. Su's instructions and not to act rashly.
In the Xuanjing Division, Xia Jiang interrogates Mei Changsu and threatens him. Even the toughest man can't resist the inhumane methods of the Xuanjing Division.Mei Changsu thought for a while and agreed to Xia Jiang's confession.He admitted that he had colluded with King Jing for a long time, and that King Jing was the mastermind and he was the mastermind of the prison robbery.The result of the trial was obtained so easily, which made Xia Jiang suspect that Mei Changsu would confess in person.His mind turned around, and then he pressed for Wei Zheng's whereabouts.
Mei Changsu said that Wei Zheng had already escaped from the capital, but Xia Jiang did not believe it. He was confident that the capital was tightly controlled and Wei Zheng would never leave the city.In order to protect Wei Zheng and confuse Xia Jiang, Mei Changsu explained that Wei Zheng was hidden in Mrs. Xia Chun's cage and left the city. Only then did Xia Jiang understand his omission and believed that this statement was true.
Yujin came to Prince Ji's Mansion and showed Wei Zheng's wanted order.Under his hint, King Ji remembered that the prisoner who saw Xia Dong being transferred in the alley that day was Wei Zheng.Thinking of King Jing's difficult situation, he felt that he should tell Emperor Liang what he saw with his own eyes.Zhen Ping, who followed King Ji into the palace, quickly informed Meng Zhi to get ready.
Mei Changsu was neither humble nor arrogant in front of Xia Jiang.He used his own method to torture Mei Changsu. Mei Changsu broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but his expression remained unchanged.Xia Jiang asked why Mei Changsu, the leader of the largest gang in the world, wanted to get involved in the court situation? Why did he choose Prince Jing, and did he have his own purpose? Mei Changsu responded calmly and answered them one by one.Seeing that he refused to take any advice, Xia Jiang had to take out his own unique poison, Wujin Pill, and threatened that if he did not take the antidote, he would die from the poison in seven days, forcing Mei Changsu to tell the truth.He further warned Mei Changsu that if he dared to speak nonsense when Emperor Liang was interrogating him, he could kill him instantly without leaving any trace by means of air separation. At that time, Emperor Liang would think that he committed suicide by poisoning out of fear of guilt.
After King Ji told Emperor Liang what he had seen, Emperor Liang felt deeply that something was fishy.He quickly summoned Meng Zhi into the palace and ordered him to go directly to the Xuanjing Division to bring Xia Dong into the palace without letting Xia Jiang know.
In the Xuanjing Division, Mei Changsu turned from defense to offense.He asked Xia Jiang why the Xuanjing Division had never been involved in party disputes, so why did they participate in the fight for the heir and kill King Jing this time?Mei Changsu said to Xia Jiang contemptuously: You are afraid of King Jing, just like you were afraid of King Qi, because King Qi once advocated the abolition of the Xuanjing Division, so you killed King Qi and caused the 70,000 Red Flame Army to die unjustly.ridge.When Xia Jiang was told the central issue, he became angry and asked Mei Changsu if he was an old friend of King Qi. Mei Changsu replied that I was someone who admired King Qi.Xia Jiang knocked down Mei Changsu with his fist and forced him to swallow Wujin Pill.All this was seen and heard by Xia Dong, who was quietly lurking aside.Xia Dong knelt down with tears in his eyes, begging Xia Jiang to come up with the antidote, stop in time, and change his ways.Xia Jiang turned a deaf ear and ordered people to take Xia Dong away and keep him under strict supervision.At this time, Meng Zhi rushed to Xuanjing Division and took Xia Dong away without explanation.
Under the pressure of Emperor Liang, Xia Dong admitted that he had robbed Wei Zheng and killed him to avenge his husband.She tried her best to take all the blame and protected her master Xia Jiang in every possible way.The flawless rhetoric made Emperor Liang furious, and he successfully pointed the suspicion at Xuanjing Division.
When Xia Jiang learned that Xia Dong had been taken away by Meng Zhi, he shouted that it was not good and ordered Xia Chun and Xia Qiu to kill Mei Changsu quickly to avoid future troubles.Mei Changsu calmly dealt with them, trying his best to delay time.At this time, Meng Zhi had been ordered to arrest Xia Jiang and seal up the Xuanjing Division.He knew that time was Mei Changsu's life, so he rushed to the Xuanjing Division and subdued Xia Jiang.Xia Chun heard that Xia Jiang had been captured and wanted to kill Mei Changsu before Meng Zhi arrived in the dungeon.He waved his palm and struck at Mei Changsu. At the critical moment, Fei Liu arrived. He stretched out his arm to block the fatal blow. He seriously injured Xia Chun in just three or two moves, and Mei Changsu finally escaped from the tiger's mouth.
When King Yu learned that Xia Jiang was imprisoned, he had a premonition that he would not be able to stay out of the matter, so he thought hard about countermeasures in his palace.
Emperor Liang was furious in the palace. He was suspicious and had confirmed from the bottom of his heart that Xia Jiang had colluded with King Yu to frame King Jing.This incident completely touched his bottom line, and he could not forgive Xuanjingsi, who had always stayed out of party strife, for daring to deceive him.
Cai Quan and Shen Zhui hurriedly met to report that there was another hidden story in the case of the private artillery workshop.It turns out that the explosion that killed and injured hundreds of people was not an accident, but man-made. The suspicion pointed directly at Zhu Yue, the minister of Dali Temple and the brother-in-law of King Yu.After Emperor Liang read the memorial, he remained silent. He knew the whole incident clearly. He knew that it was an explosion planned by King Yu to deal with the deposed prince.
At this time, Mei Changsu, who had been rescued, walked to the shackled Xia Jiang.Xia Jiang shouted: "There are only seven days left. If a person dies, there will be nothing left, so you can't be considered a winner."Meng Zhi felt that these words were strange and asked for the truth, but Mei Changsu covered him up.
King Yu thought that Emperor Liang summoned him to the palace because of the Xuanjing Division case, so he started to cry out for injustice as soon as he entered the hall.After Emperor Liang handed him the memorial about the private artillery room, he realized what happened. He couldn't deal with it and could only keep crying out for injustice.Cai Quan and Shen Zhui asked the three ministers to conduct a joint trial and let King Yu observe the trial.Emperor Liang knew that the evidence was conclusive and that King Yu could not deny it. In order to save the royal family's face, he ordered Cai Quan to investigate Zhu Yue and not to pursue further, but to close the case as soon as possible.
When Mei Changsu returned to Su's house, he could no longer hold on. He vomited out blood, but still asked whether Master Su Gu and Wei Zheng were safe. He was relieved after receiving a positive answer.He was in a hurry to arrange other matters, but was stopped by the distressed Doctor Yan.
Meng Zhi responded, Xia Jiang refused to plead guilty and asked to be interviewed.Emperor Liang had a deep grudge in his heart and refused to meet him. He only asked Xia Jiang to present his confession.
When Prince Jing heard that Mei Changsu had returned to Su's house, he finally relaxed after being tense for many days.
In Prince Yu's palace, Princess Yu fell to the ground to apologize for her younger brother Zhu Yue.Prince Yu was disheartened and helped her up.He lamented that he had worked hard and fought with the prince for ten years, and now Prince Jing appeared and lost everything overnight. He would never be able to win the throne for the rest of his life.
Cai Quan and Shen Zhui drank together, drinking one glass after another to soothe their sorrows.He felt resentful that Emperor Liang treated people's lives like insignificant things, worried that the fate of the country in Liang was in danger, and felt disheartened that the situation in the court was so chaotic, but deep down he was full of expectations for Prince Jing.Shen Zhui comforted Cai Quan that he was in his position and pursuing political affairs and could not give up easily.
Emperor Liang went to Zhiluo Palace to tell Concubine Jing that the case of Xuanjingsi had been investigated and that Prince Jing had no fault and that he would be compensated.Concubine Jing begged King Liang not to give too much favor to King Jing to avoid causing trouble. Emperor Liang assured her that he would make arrangements properly.When he mentioned Mr. Su, Concubine Jing was insinuating and asked Mei Changsu about his past.Emperor Liang praised Mei Changsu greatly in his speech.At this time, he felt that Prince Jing's sincerity was more reassuring than Prince Yu's ulterior motives, and he had already planned to establish Prince Jing as the crown prince, so he asked Concubine Jing to tell Prince Jing to ask Mr. Su for advice, and at the same time promisedDuring the spring hunting in March, she took Concubine Jing with her and asked her to summon Mei Changsu at the hunting ground.
Meng Zhi visited Xia Dong in prison and encouraged Xia Dong to get rid of the shackles of grudges and hatred and cheer up as soon as possible.When Xia Dong learned that Xia Jiang, the main criminal, had no chance of surviving, she shed tears...The strong Xia Dong asked Meng Zhi to tell Prince Jing and Mei Changsu not to worry about herself. She could hold on and must give justice to the deceased.Meng Zhi's firm answer will definitely make the truth known to the world.Before leaving, Xia Dong asked Mei Changsu with concern whether the Wujin poison he had been poisoned with had been cured.Meng Zhi was shocked when he heard this. Only then did he know that Mei Changsu was dying.
Prince Jing went to the palace to visit Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing asked Xiaoxin to confess in person. Only then did Prince Jing realize that Xiaoxin was from Prince Yu and Xia Jiang.The truth about Concubine Jing's ban made Prince Jing feel guilty. He knew that he fell into the trap because he was biased against Mei Changsu and could not fully trust him.
Meng Zhi Pegasus came to the sealed Xuanjing Division and searched everywhere for the antidote, but found nothing.He rushed to Su's house and met Prince Jing who came to apologize in the heavy snow, telling him that Mei Changsu had been poisoned by Wu Jin.King Jing immediately went to the dungeon with Meng Zhi and pressed for the whereabouts of the antidote, but Xia Jiang refused to tell him.
Qin Banruo went to jail disguised as the sister-in-law who delivered food to visit Xia Jiang to discuss the next step.Xia Jiang believed that the spring hunting in March was the last chance, so he asked Qin Banrui to report to the king. During this period, he had to calm down and make arrangements secretly, and only took action as soon as the spring hunting period arrived.
The fire and cold poison in Mei Changsu is the most powerful poison in the world. It swallowed up the poison of Wujin Pill, allowing Mei Changsu to survive. The Su house, which had been clouded for days, finally saw a ray of sunshine.
Prince Jing came to Zhiluo Palace and recalled everything Mei Changsu had done for him, feeling regretful and heartbroken.
Mei Changsu fell into a coma for a few days, and the first thing he did after waking up was to tell Zhen Ping to send more people to find the whereabouts of Tong Lu, who was captured by King Yu.
Queen Yan made things difficult for Concubine Hui and ordered her to copy out two Buddhist scriptures within a short period of time.Seeing that it was difficult to complete the work on time, Concubine Jing offered to help her, but was publicly humiliated by Queen Yan that she was a medical woman and was not qualified to copy Buddhist scriptures.
When Emperor Liang learned about this, he took the initiative to support Concubine Jing and prepared to promote her status.By delivering medicine to Concubine Hui, Concubine Jing let Emperor Liang know that Empress Yan had been making things difficult for Concubine Hui, and asked Emperor Liang to persuade the empress.Emperor Liang therefore thought of King Ning Jingting, son of Concubine Hui, and decided to let him preside over the case of Xuanjing Division.
Meng Zhi told Xia Jiang that his two apprentices, Shaochun Shi Xia Chun and Xia Qiu, had both been killed by the forty-weight staff because they despised the emperor.The arrogant Xia Jiang knew that all the chips he relied on to overturn the case had been lost. He collapsed to the ground, knowing that if he lost the emperor's trust, all efforts would be in vain.When he learned that Mei Changsu's Wujin poison had been cured, his eyes widened in disbelief.
In his testimony, Xia Jiang testified that Mei Changsu was an old friend of King Qi, but Emperor Liang laughed at him, thinking that he was biting randomly.After the Xuanjingsi case, Emperor Liang greatly appreciated Prince Jing and intended to let him take charge of the East Palace.He advised Prince Jing to learn the unfamiliar court affairs as soon as possible, and urged him to seek advice from Mei Changsu more often. Prince Jing pretended not to understand what Emperor Liang meant, and proposed to take Cai Quan and Shen Zhui along, leaving Emperor Liang to shake his head helplessly.
Prince Yu was dismissed and demoted to Prince Shuangzhu and kept in seclusion for three months; Concubine Yue was exempted from the rank of imperial concubine and demoted to the rank of second-grade virtuous concubine; Concubine Jing was named a noble concubine and received an additional rank of first-grade concubine.Prince Yu was disheartened and accepted the order to thank him.
When Prince Jing met Mu Qing, he wanted to ask if Wei Zheng was hiding in Prince Mu's palace, but Mu Qing kept him away from him.Mei Changsu learned that King Jing had come with Cai Quan and Shen Zhui, and knew that King Jing was paving the way for his own future. He was grateful and wanted to retire after his success.
King Yu knew that the situation was over and there was no way to turn around. He spent all day drinking in his mansion to drown his sorrows, unable to extricate himself.Qin Banruo tried to persuade him in every possible way, but King Yu lamented that ten years of fighting life was too tiring and he had no intention of fighting anymore.He was depressed and mentally depressed, leaving Qin Banrui helpless.
In Su's house, Mei Changsu and others were having a lively conversation.When it came to the matter of deciding the brand of Zhongzheng, Mei Changsu suggested that the eighteen deputy Zhongzheng should be selected based on Cai Quan. As Zhongzheng, he recommended an unexpected candidate - the seventy-five-year-old Fenggege Lao Cheng Zhiji..
At his wits' end, Qin Banruo disguised himself and sneaked into jail, telling Xia Jiang that there was no hope and that King Yu was decadent and had no intention of regaining his strength.Xia Jiang was extremely unwilling. He suddenly remembered the brocade bag left by Princess Xuanji, and asked Qin Banruo to open the brocade bag and check it out.
Xia Jiang checked the brochure and unexpectedly found that it contained a letter from Princess Xuanji's sister, Princess Linglong, to King Yu.Qin Banruo returned to Prince Yu's Mansion with the letter, and handed the letter to Prince Yu with tears in his eyes, begging him not to give up, not for himself, but for the sake of the entire Hua clan.Only then did King Yu know that his mother was Princess Linglong of the Hua tribe.King Yu was filled with grief and anger when he learned that his mother had mistakenly believed in the King of Liang and helped him ascend the throne, but he was accused of treason and killed the entire family, and finally died on the battlefield.He knew very well that the blood of the Hua people had destined him not to inherit the throne. Emperor Liang's favor towards him was just to restrain the deposed crown prince and Prince Jing, treating him as a pawn.After thinking about this, although he burst into tears, he was full of resentment towards Emperor Liang.The cruel truth made King Yu determined to follow Xia Jiang's plan to kill Emperor Liang during the spring hunting in March and conspire to usurp the throne.
After the imperial edict rebuking King Yu was promulgated, Emperor Liang felt quite unhappy.He chatted with Gao Zhan about King Yu's life experience, and said that he had preferences and concerns about King Yu, but if his virtues exceeded those of the deposed prince, he could choose a virtuous person and entrust the world to him, but what King Yu did was too disappointing to him..
In Su's house, Wei Zheng, who was recovering from his injury, finally met Mei Changsu.Mei Changsu told Wei Zheng to be careful when speaking and not to reveal his identity when he saw Prince Jing.
Prince Jing, who has been pursuing the truth for many years, finally heard with his own ears the truth about the Red Flame Army's rebellion thirteen years ago.It turns out that 13 years ago, in the harsh environment of freezing weather, 70,000 Red Flame men fought to the death with the 200,000 Chongqing army with a disparity in strength, turning the tide and defeating the enemy.At a time when the military strength was in danger and casualties were heavy, reinforcements from Xie Yu and Xia Jiang finally arrived.What was unexpected was that the “reinforcements” actually swung their weapons towards each other and worked together to encircle and annihilate them. The Red Flame Army was caught off guard and almost all of them were wiped out, leaving very few survivors.Afterwards, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang not only contributed to quelling the rebellion, but also shamelessly claimed the credit for annihilating the enemy.
After listening to Wei Zheng's story, King Jing's eyes were filled with tears, filled with grief and anger, and he couldn't help himself.He said sadly: Xiao Shu will never come back again.Mei Changsu was heartbroken, but tried to calm down, and persuaded him that overturning the verdict meant asking the emperor to admit his mistake. Carrying the name of the unjustly killed hero and the emperor's eldest son was as difficult as climbing to the sky. For the final goal, he had to temporarily suppress his grief and anger and slowly pursue it.Prince Jing said sternly: Seventy thousand dead souls have not been put to rest, and the stigma has not been cleared up. My final goal is to clear up this case, and everything else will come later.
Qin Banruo took advantage of Juan Niang's desire to protect Tong Lu and asked Juan Niang to coax Tong Lu.Tong Lu unpreparedly revealed the secret that Mei Changsu had been poisoned by fire and cold.
In March, the spring hunting season arrived. King Yu stood by the city wall, looking at the spring hunting convoy gradually disappearing, and made up his mind to take action.
Escorted by Prince Jing and Meng Zhi, Emperor Liang and Concubine Jing came to the hunting grounds of Jiu'an Mountain. Mei Changsu was also invited to accompany them.After setting up camp, Concubine Jing took advantage of Emperor Liang to take a nap and summoned Mei Changsu.She carefully looked at Mei Changsu who was saluting her, trying her best to find any trace of Xiao Shu, but there was no trace of her. She had to take the opportunity of serving tea to deliberately pour water on Mei Changsu's arm, and checked for the birthmark from childhood, but she couldn't see it either..Even so, she still believed that the person standing in front of her was Xiao Shu.She offered to take Mei Changsu's pulse. When she learned of Mei Changsu's condition, Jing Fei's hand when taking the pulse trembled slightly.Prince Jing was very puzzled by his mother's abnormal behavior, and his doubts doubled.
Concubine Jing knew that Mei Changsu had been poisoned by the most strange poison in the world - fire and cold poison.Thinking of the detoxification technique of breaking bones and peeling skin, and thinking of the inhuman pain Xiao Shu experienced, Concubine Jing's heart twitched.She forced Queen Jing away, then couldn't restrain herself anymore and cried heartbrokenly.
Mei Changsu knew that he could no longer hide his identity, so he walked to Concubine Jing and called “Aunt Jing” repeatedly, comforting her that she was in good health and not to worry.Concubine Jing eagerly told Mei Changsu to stop worrying and rest in peace, while she would take care of the rest.However, Mei Changsu expressed that he would take the last step and fulfill his desire to avenge his injustice, and asked Concubine Jing not to tell Prince Jing that she was Lin Shu.
Prince Jing lingered outside the tent for a long time. When he saw Mei Changsu coming out, he hurriedly approached Concubine Jing and asked her why she had lost her composure.Mei Changsu said goodbye and left on the grounds that it was inconvenient to tell him.Prince Jing entered the room and asked Concubine Jing to clarify her doubts. Concubine Jing explained that the illness reminded her of past events that she did not want to look back on, and that the patient had privacy and was not allowed to listen.Prince Jing was dubious.
King Yu successfully persuaded the queen to help him carry out his rebellion.The queen issued an edict to change the responsibility for the defense of the capital from the patrol battalion to the imperial army. King Yu quietly let two secretly bribed lieutenants take control of the capital's defense, cutting off Emperor Liang's retreat.
In the hunting camp, Mei Changsu was teaching Tingsheng strictly. Yujin on the side casually mentioned that Prince Ji was paying attention to Tingsheng's identity, which aroused Mei Changsu's alarm.At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.It turns out that the monster that has been active in Gushan has actually come to Jiu'an Mountain, and Meng Zhi and others are gearing up to capture it.At this time, Mei Changsu suddenly discovered Gong Yu, who was dressed as a forbidden soldier and silently stood guard for him, and asked her to leave, but Gong Yu refused to comply.
Juan Niang found out that King Yu was plotting a rebellion. She killed the guards and rescued Tong Lu, but she died trying to protect Tong Lu.Zhen Ping and Li Gang followed Mei Changsu's instructions to seal the secret passage, destroy the evidence, and prepare to evacuate.At this time, Tong Lu fled to Su Zhai and told them that King Yu was plotting rebellion and had contacted 50,000 Qingli troops to attack Jiu'an Mountain and asked them to report the news to the sect master as soon as possible.
Xia Jiang, who had regained his freedom, was very cunning. When he heard that Tong Lu had escaped, he ordered people to quickly seal the city gate and the main road to Jiu'an Mountain.Unfortunately, Tong Lu died in the battle to cover Zhen Ping's escape from the city.
On Jiu'an Mountain, King Jing and Mei Changsu have received news of King Yu's rebellion.Meng Zhi proposed to report to Emperor Liang quickly, but Mei Changsu stopped him.If Emperor Liang gets the news at this time and will go down the mountain and return to the capital, it will be a dead end.He drew his sword and pointed at the map, began to analyze the situation and deploy strategies.The movements and expressions that were exactly the same as those of Lin Shu made Prince Jing look at Mei Changsu in a daze.
King Yu used fake edicts and fake military talismans, and with the support of Qingli Army Commander Xu Anmo, he mobilized the Qingli Army in the name of King Qin to attack the hunting palace in Jiu'an Mountain.The emperor was shocked when he heard the news and summoned King Jing to discuss countermeasures.According to Mei Changsu's plan, King Jing obtained Emperor Liang's military talisman and went down the mountain to mobilize the Jicheng army to rescue him.
Before leaving, King Jing knew that if Jiu'an Mountain was lost, he could still escape, but Concubine Jing, Mei Changsu, Meng Zhi and others would not survive.Mei Changsu advised King Jing not to hesitate and to focus on the country. If Jiu'an Mountain was breached, he should not be rash and must return to the capital. He ordered the soldiers and horses in the world to work diligently and not to let King Yu succeed in his treacherous plan.Looking at everyone's determined faces, King Jing made a stern promise: He will see the Jicheng military flag within three days.
Mei Changsu knew that using 3,000 Imperial Guards against a 50,000-strong army would lead to defeat, so he could only outwit them.He asked Meng Zhi to lead his troops to take the initiative.Meng Zhi took the lead, rose up bravely, and severely damaged King Yu's vanguard.
King Yu learned that the vanguard was defeated and ordered to camp on the spot, waiting for the follow-up troops to join forces.In fact, he secretly sent troops into the mountain with the intention of forming an encirclement. This plan was discovered by Mei Changsu.When the rebels reached the mountainside, rocks and sharp arrows rained down from the sky, catching them off guard and defeating them.
Tingsheng asked to fight, thinking that as a man, he should stand up in critical moments.In order to protect him and Gong Yu, Mei Changsu sent them into the hunting palace to protect the royal family.
That night, the Qingli army secretly entered the camp, only to find that the imperial army had already abandoned the camp and left.Suddenly, rockets fell from the sky, detonating fire mines piled inside the tent, killing and burning a large number of soldiers.After several battles, although the Qingli Army lost more than 10,000 people, there was still a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves.Mei Changsu knew that he had no chance to use any more tricks, so he had to retreat to the hunting palace, defend the danger, fight with his back to the wall, and wait for reinforcements.
King Yu knew the structure of the hunting palace and knew that there was no way out, so he realized that someone must have come down the mountain to report the news, and reinforcements would be arriving soon.He immediately ordered to strengthen the offensive, fight quickly, and capture the hunting palace that day.
Outside the palace, the sound of killing was loud, the rebels took turns to attack, and the imperial army resisted desperately; inside the palace, Hou made impassioned speeches, arousing Emperor Liang's fighting spirit, and prepared to work together to kill the enemy.After several rounds of defense, rivers of blood flowed inside and outside the palace gate, and the stones and bows and arrows prepared by the imperial army were gradually exhausted.Seeing that the enemy was about to break through the door, Zhen Ping jumped on the wall, pushed down the oil altar, and used fire attacks to block another wave of attacks.
Relying on their absolute advantage in numbers, the rebels continued to attack, and the gate of the Hunting Palace was finally breached.Meng Zhi led the crowd to rush out and fight to the death with the rebels.They worked together to block the palace gate, forming a line of defense with their flesh and blood, promising not to fall until the last moment.The rebels swarmed in, they fought hard and held on...
At the critical moment, Princess Nihuang, who was notified by Prince Jing first, arrived in time.She beheaded Xu Anmo off his horse with one sword, shouting loudly all the way that the king was treasonous, causing the morale of the Qingli army to be in chaos.King Jing then led his troops to arrive, with overwhelming force, they wiped out the rebels and captured King Yu alive.
Emperor Liang came to the prison gate where King Yu was detained and rebuked King Yu, saying that he was blind and should not favor him.However, King Yu laughed miserably and said that it was not him who was blind, but Princess Linglong who was blind.Emperor Liang was very surprised when he heard this.King Yu asked if his mother was Xiang Concubine or Princess Linglong.Emperor Liang was saddened and shed tears.He answered that it was Princess Linglong, and told King Yu that in order to keep the secret of his accession to the throne, he had to kill the Hua clan.
Knowing that he was in a desperate situation, King Yu no longer wanted to wear a mask to deal with Emperor Liang. He begged Emperor Liang to tell the truth.The equally selfish and ruthless father and son finally came clean to each other.Emperor Liang openly expressed his dirty thoughts and said that useless chess pieces should be discarded and their positions exchanged. King Yu would do the same.Knowing that he, like his mother, was just a chess piece, King Yu screamed hysterically and roared at Emperor Liang with grief and indignation in his eyes.In order to cover up his scandal, Emperor Liang threatened King Yu because his mother was Xiang concubine, not Princess Linglong, so he ordered King Yu to be held incommunicado and no one was allowed to approach him.
After receiving the news, Princess Yu hurriedly entered the palace and begged the queen to rescue Prince Yu.The Queen knew very well the character of Emperor Liang. Once King Yu was caught for treason, there would be no way out for him, and she herself would not be able to escape the bad luck.
Nihuang became jealous when she saw Mei Changsu caring so much for the injured Gong Yu.She made some insinuations and learned that Gong Yu was just disguising himself as a forbidden soldier and standing guard in front of the tent, and had not had much contact with Mei Changsu, so she was relieved.
After everything was arranged, King Jing recalled the behavior of Mei Changsu and Concubine Jing, and felt more and more that there was something hidden inside.In order to find out the truth, he asked Mei Changsu why Xia Jiang's confession proved that he was an old friend of King Qi.Mei Changsu explained that he made the false confession in order to anger Xia Jiang and expose his flaws.
At this time, Qi Meng was overjoyed to report that the “monster” captured by Gushan turned out to be a human being.After hearing this, Mei Changsu went out of the palace to inspect.The savage in the cage was dirty and messy, with long hair all over his body. His eyes were wary, and he growled lowly, but did not speak.Mei Changsu looked at his face and felt that he had seen him before.His heart tightened, and despite everyone's obstruction, he walked closer to the cage to take a closer look, and found the Red Flame Army bracelet on the savage's wrist.Mei Changsu suppressed his excitement and asked King Jing to leave the savages under his care.King Jing agreed and secretly sent Lie Zhanying to find out the news.
After taking a shower, the savage was actually covered in pure white long hair.Mei Changsu knew that the savage had been poisoned by the same fire-cold poison as him, which was why he had such an appearance.After he cut his blood and administered medicine, the savage's condition temporarily stabilized.Mei Changsu comforted the savage and asked him to stretch out his arm to look at the Red Flame Army bracelet. On it was clearly engraved the word "Nie Feng“", who was Xia Dong's husband.It turned out that after Nie Feng was poisoned by fire and cold, not only his appearance changed drastically, but his tongue became stiff and he could not speak.He went through all kinds of hardships and came to the capital just because he wanted to meet Xia Dong before he died.Mei Changsu choked and said that she was Xiao Shu, and recognized Nie Feng, and the two hugged each other and cried.Nie Feng, who had thousands of words in his heart, was suffering from the inability to communicate. He ahhhhhhhhhhh and hugged his young commander tightly.
Mei Changsu invited Concubine Jing to treat Nie Feng.After finishing the acupuncture, Concubine Jing said that the poisoning was too deep and her medical skills could only temporarily suppress the poisoning for two months, but she was unable to cure it.King Jing saw the clues and thought that Concubine Jing and Mei Changsu were definitely not the first people they met.Concubine Jing had no choice but to tell Prince Jing that Mei Changsu was the son of an old friend, and that this old friend had saved her life. She didn't tell him because the old friend had passed away, and mentioning old things made her sad.
Knowing that the pain after the poison is unbearable for ordinary people, Mei Changsu gave the last pill to Nie Feng, but he himself fainted from the poison. Concubine Jing came to stabilize his condition.Prince Jing, who was accompanying him, heard the confused Mei Changsu say to him, "Jingyan, don't be afraid”".At that moment, he suddenly realized that he saw Xiao Shu.
When Princess Nihuang heard that Mei Changsu was ill, she rushed into Concubine Jing's palace to inquire about her condition. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that she had lost her composure and hurriedly covered it up.Concubine Jing indicated that she knew Xiao Shu's identity, and Nihuang finally couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling heartbroken.Concubine Jing comforted Nihuang and said that you are the closest person to Xiaoshu in this world. He didn't tell you about your illness because he was afraid that you would be sad.
Mei Changsu finally woke up.Prince Jing, who had been guarding him all the time, expressed his doubts and insisted on asking Mei Changsu about his father's name first, and then asked Concubine Jing to check both sides to confirm the authenticity.Mei Changsu was forced to tell him that his father's name was Mei Shinan.Prince Jing immediately came out of the palace to ask Concubine Jing, but he got the same answer.In fact, Lin Xie did save Concubine Jing under the pseudonym Mei Shinan.Prince Jing, who didn't know the truth, sat down slumped and told Concubine Jing that he might be crazy. For a moment, he actually believed that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu.
Meng Zhi regained control of the Jinling Forbidden Army and adjusted the palace defenses, so that Emperor Liang could return to the palace.Xia Jiang escaped, and Emperor Liang ordered a sea arrest document to be captured and brought to justice, regardless of life or death.Emperor Liang called to see King Ji and asked King Jing whether Jingyan was suitable for the position of the East Palace.King Ji, who had always regarded himself as an idle prince but had a clear mind, praised King Jing for his benevolence, filial piety, virtue, sincerity and bravery, but he kept silent about the position of crown prince for fear of arousing the suspicion of Emperor Liang.However, Emperor Liang said that he admired Prince Jing for his lack of ambition and for sticking to his duties.Mei Changsu met King Ji outside the palace, and King Ji hinted that Mei Changsu would return to Beijing soon and everything would be settled.Mei Changsu took the opportunity to thank King Ji for his life-saving grace on behalf of King Jing.
After Emperor Liang returned to Beijing, he issued an order to abolish the queen.When the Yan family learned that King Yu and the whole family were thrown into prison, they sadly accepted the order and moved to Shanqing nunnery.In prison, King Yu, who knew his death was imminent, felt guilty and apologized to Princess Yu, blaming himself for not treating her well but for dragging her into death.Princess Yu said affectionately that she was willing to go to hell together, but she was pregnant and was not willing to let her child die with her.
Mei Changsu came to prison and told King Yu that if he stopped as soon as possible, he could still preserve his glory and wealth.King Yu said without regret that besieging the hunting ground was the happiest thing he had ever done. Even if he failed, he would end up like King Qi back then.Mei Changsu bluntly said that King Qi had the world in mind and his people at heart, and he was not worthy to be compared with King Qi at all.
Emperor Liang came to Tianlao to see King Yu, who had already committed suicide.After reading the blood letter left by King Yu, Emperor Liang quickly asked where Princess Yu was, but it was too late, as Princess Yu had already passed away.In fact, under the arrangement of Mei Changsu, Princess Yu was exchanged from the prison cell on death row and left the capital.In the future, King Yu's children will stay away from the court and live an ordinary life, and they will definitely grow up happily.
Concubine Jing selected the daughter of Lord Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng as the royal concubine of Prince Jing.Mei Changsu was worried about Xia Dong, and Gong Yu suggested that he change his disguise into Xia Dong so that Nie Feng could meet his wife as soon as possible.
It would allow Nie Feng and Xia Dong to meet as soon as possible. Both Wei Zheng and Mei Changsu felt that Gong Yu's plan was feasible and they could only take action when the time was right.
Under Lin Chen's guidance, Fei Liu captured Qin Banruo.Zhen Ping received a letter from Fei Ge informing him that Xie Yu was dead.Mei Changsu believed that his death could be used because Princess Liyang had a personal confession from him, which could be used as an opportunity to reopen the old case.
Shen Zhui saw King Jing's thoughts and was worried that if he took the risk of committing a crime, the gains would outweigh the losses. After going to court, he took the initiative to talk to him about King Qi's old case.He said that 13 years ago, many people raised objections to the truth of the case, but no one dared to speak out because they were either killed or demoted.He bluntly pointed out that the truth was not important to Emperor Liang. What was important was that King Qi's wings were too full, as if he was snoring beside Emperor Liang's bed, making him feel like he was walking on thin ice and in danger.Shen Zhui warned Prince Jing that now that the East Palace has not been established, if he rashly proposes to retry Chi Yan's old case, it will only make Emperor Liang think that he is relying on his new merits, forcing him to admit the big mistakes he made back then and become angry, which will not be beneficial to Zhao Xue's old case.
As soon as Lin Chen arrived at Su's house, Mei Changsu was eager to ask him to diagnose Nie Feng.After cutting the pulse, Lin Chen said that Nie Feng's poisoning was not serious and the poison could be cured. Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief.Lin Chen gave Qin Banruo to Mei Changsu as a“ gift”.Based on Qin Banruo's whereabouts, they speculated that Xia Jiang was still in the capital.In fact, Xia Jiang is indeed lurking in the palace of the foreign minister Fan, and plans to use Fan Guiren's niece Fan Guiren to send a secret letter to the deposed prince's biological mother, Concubine Yuexian.
Mei Changsu spent all his energy thinking about Prince Jing, and his health became worse and worse.Lin Chen bluntly warned him that his physical condition was not optimistic, and if he did not meditate and cultivate, his life would be in danger at any time.
King Jing was appointed as the crown prince and took charge of the East Palace.In order not to leave any further trouble, Mei Changsu ordered people to completely seal the secret passage.Emperor Liang's health was not as good as before. He finally realized that he was getting old, so he ordered the prince to supervise the affairs of the country.
Meng Zhi arranged for someone to replace Xia Dong.When he learned that Xia Dong was coming, Nie Feng was full of expectations but also anxious, fearing that Xia Dong would not be able to accept his appearance.Looking at Nie Feng, who was completely disfigured and hiding his face in tears, Xia Dong held his hand affectionately, and a thousand words turned into one sentence: “You are finally back!” Yin and yang suddenly meet again, and the two can no longer tell the difference.Whether happy or sad, silent and speechless, only thousands of tears fell.
Lin Chen described the symptoms of fire-cold poison to everyone and listed two detoxification plans.One is to rub and peel the bones, and reshape the broken bones. Although the face changes after detoxification, it is no different from that of ordinary people. It is just that the internal strength is completely lost and the body is weak and sick. If taken care of properly, one can live up to forty years old; while the other detoxification method is less painful.And he can enjoy a long life, but he can't speak, and the white hair on his body can't be removed.
Only then did Meng Zhi, Ni Huang and others present know the heart-wrenching pain that Lin Shu, who had been poisoned by the fire-cold poison, experienced.Nihuang's heart was trembling, and Meng Zhi roared regardless, reprimanding Mei Changsu for not caring about his body and coming to the capital to fight for his life.
In order to stay together forever, Nie Feng and Xia Dong chose the second detoxification plan.
Wei Zheng let Xia Dong know that Mei Changsu was Xiao Shu.Thinking of the hardships he had gone through, she was filled with emotion and tears filled her eyes.
Mei Changsu advised Meng Zhi and Ni Huang not to stop him.Because he carries a blood feud and the hope of the 70,000 Red Flame Army to Zhaoxue, which is why he chose the first detoxification method in the first place.Nihuang blamed herself so much that she was not by Xiaoshu's side when he was in the most painful time.Meng Zhi asked Mei Changsu to put aside all the affairs and rest peacefully. The matter of overturning the case would be solved after King Jing ascends the throne.Mei Changsu disagreed. He said that the trial must be re-tried when the current emperor is in power so as not to be criticized by future generations. He wanted to make the Red Flame Army completely innocent.Nihuang asked Mei Changsu how long she could live. Mei Changsu couldn't bear to make her sad and said that there were still ten years.Nihuang said affectionately that she was satisfied to be with him for ten years.
Mei Changsu was exhausted and fell ill again.He was worried that he would die soon, so he asked Lin Chen to find a way to give him a year so that he could see the unjust case retried and see the 70,000 wronged souls brought to justice.Lin Chen couldn't defeat him and couldn't stop him from working hard, so he had to find a way to treat her.
Xia Jiang secretly placed the secret letter in a gift box and forwarded it to Concubine Yue Xian from the palace maid Qin'er.After Jingyan was established as the crown prince, he was diligent in political affairs and won the appreciation of Emperor Liang.
Qin'er handed the secret letter to Concubine Yue Xian and persuaded her to agree to cooperate with Xia Jiang.Concubine Yue Xian pretended to be seriously ill and her life was at stake, so she deceived Emperor Liang into Zhaoren Palace.Concubine Yue Xian talked about the secret letter in a cryptic manner, and Emperor Liang impatiently asked her to reveal the contents of the secret letter.Concubine Yue Xian told him that the secret letter was Xia Jiang's confession. He not only testified that Mei Changsu had been poisoned by fire and cold, but also testified that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu, the marshal of the Red Flame Army who escaped from death in Meiling.After hearing this, Emperor Liang felt as if he was struck by lightning. After reading the secret letter, he looked solemn and immediately summoned the Taishi Pavilion to search for information on fire and cold poison. At the same time, he asked Concubine Yue Xian to send a letter to Xia Jiang. If the confession was true, his previous sins would be absolved.
Lin Chen successfully detoxified Nie Feng, and Xia Dong felt relieved and prepared to return to prison in exchange for Gong Yu.At this time, Mei Changsu told her that she was not going to die soon, and solemnly entrusted Nihuang to her.Mei Changsu was getting sick more and more frequently, so Lin Chen tapped his acupuncture points and forced him to treat with peace of mind.
Xia Jiang decided to go to the palace to meet the emperor.He knew that if this trip failed, he would definitely die. Before leaving, he told Qin'er that if he died, he would use all his latent power to trouble him to the death and take the lives of the few people he had planned.
Xia Jiang took the risk and went to the palace to tell Emperor Liang all his suspicions. The Royal Academy also found records about the fire-cold poison.Emperor Liang saw that fierce fire, blizzards and the unique snow scale insects in Meiling were the three conditions for the formation of fire-cold poison. He immediately thought of the bloody battle of Meiling, and then thought of the various changes that happened two years after Mei Changsu entered the capital, and became more suspicious.He immediately sent an order to summon Mei Changsu to the palace, and at the same time forced Meng Zhi to rest for three days, and controlled the imperial army in the hands of Chai Dutong.Seeing that the situation was critical, Gao Zhan took advantage of Concubine Jing's maid to deliver lily soup to the emperor and secretly sent a message that Mr. Su was not allowed to enter the palace.After Concubine Jing found out, she quickly ordered someone to tell Prince Jingyan.Lie Zhanying followed the prince's order and went to stop him, but when he chased him to the palace gate, he was a step too late. Mei Changsu had already entered the palace.Lin Chen asked Li Gang to inform Princess Nihuang.
At this time, Mei Changsu had met Emperor Liang.Emperor Liang checked whether there was Lin Shu's birthmark on his arms and neck, but found nothing.
In the East Palace, Lie Zhanying reported to the prince, but there was no news after Mei Changsu entered the Yangju Palace.The prince, Meng Zhi and Ni Huang were worried and puzzled as to what kind of medicine Emperor Liang was selling in his gourd.When everyone was at a loss what to do, Emperor Liang summoned Prince Jingyan to enter the palace.Jingyan ignored everyone's obstruction and decided to take the risk and enter the palace as usual, trying to find a way to protect Mei Changsu and Concubine Jing.Everyone agreed that if they did not come out at noon, they would rebel against Emperor Liang and enter the palace to save people.
Jingyan saw Mei Changsu in the Yangju Hall, but he couldn't ask him, so he had to stand aside.After Xia Jiang entered the palace, he immediately testified that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu, the son of the rebel Red Flame Army commander Lin Xie, the Red Feather Camp commander Lin Shu.Hearing this, Jingyan stared at Mei Changsu with wide eyes in disbelief, but Mei Changsu remained calm and unfazed.
Ni Huang, Meng Zhi, Lin Chen and others secretly gathered their troops and prepared for battle.Nihuang stared at the hourglass, feeling very worried.
Mei Changsu and Xia Jiang each held their own opinions and argued endlessly.When Emperor Liang mentioned the poison of fire and cold, he saw Jingyan's expression of surprise, which did not seem like he was faking it, so he thought he didn't know about it.Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Jiang burst into tears and advised Emperor Liang not to be deceived by them.He said that in the past two years, everything that happened had benefited Prince Jing, but both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu had suffered losses. After saying this, he asked Mei Changsu if he dared to let the imperial doctor check his pulse to confirm whether he was suffering from fire-cold poison.In response to Xia Jiang's accusation, Mei Changsu first mentioned the prince's role in protecting him in Jiu'an Mountain, saying that the prince did not take advantage of the good situation to seize power, which shows his loyalty.Then the conversation changed and he actually admitted that he was Lin Shu.
Emperor Liang stood up in excitement upon hearing this, and was about to speak, but Mei Changsu argued in a flawless manner: Assuming that he was Lin Shu, if Emperor Liang dealt with him, it would hurt the relationship between father and son, mess up the court situation, and instead allow Xia Jiang to achieve his goal.In fact, the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis alone could neither confirm nor disprove that he was Lin Shu. Xia Jiang's purpose was to plant a seed of doubt in Emperor Liang's heart, so as to alienate the relationship between the prince and the emperor, so that King Xian could benefit and he would be freed..
After several rounds of lobbying, Emperor Liang finally turned his suspicious eyes on Xia Jiang. He denounced Xia Jiang for sowing discord and handed Xia Jiang over to the prince.Jingyan was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for disposal according to law.
At this time, Xia Jiang angrily grabbed the knife and tried to kill Mei Changsu, but was subdued by Chai Dutong.When being dragged out of the palace, Xia Jiang, who knew Emperor Liang's character well, shouted: It is better to kill him by mistake than to release him by mistake.As expected, these words made Emperor Liang have murderous intentions and gave Mei Changsu poisonous wine.Jingyan stepped forward, poured out the poisonous wine slowly, and walked out of the Yangju Hall side by side with Mei Changsu.
Nihuang and others breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Mei Changsu had left the palace safely.At this time, Jingyan slowly walked towards Zhiluo Palace. Along the way, he recalled every detail of his relationship with Mei Changsu and knew that Mei Changsu was Lin Shu.
After Mei Changsu came out of the palace, she couldn't hold on anymore and was helped into the carriage by Zhen Ping who was waiting outside the palace.
Jingyan came to Concubine Jing's palace and asked her, Meng Zhi, Nihuang and others if they had known Mei Changsu's true identity for a long time, Concubine Jing acquiesced.Jingyan was very sad and blamed himself for not recognizing him.Concubine Jing comforted him and said that Xiao Shu didn't tell him the truth because her expectations of him were different from others.Then she warned Jingyan that there was still a lot of unfinished business and he could not stop. To fulfill Xiao Shu's wish was also everyone's wish.She repeatedly told Jingyan to face the challenge calmly and not to make mistakes, because Xiao Shu's body could no longer afford failure.
Emperor Liang was still struggling with Xia Jiang's words, so he asked Gao Zhan if Mei Changsu was Lin Shu.Gao Zhan denied it. If Mei Changsu were Lin Shu, with the prince's character, he would never let him enter the Xuanjing Division where he had a near-death experience.Emperor Liang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.Gao Zhan comforted Emperor Liang and said that the prince was generous and would not be estranged from him because of this. However, Emperor Liang knew that Chi Yan's old case had always been a knot between father and son.
Mei Changsu collapsed as soon as he returned home and his condition was very serious.Lin Chen decided to take a dangerous approach and use extraordinary detoxification methods to save him.Since he was not very sure, he deliberately teased Fei Liu to hide his nervousness.
Cai Quan received a secret report and was shocked to hear that Xia Dong had been betrayed. He went to prison overnight to expose Gong Yu.After receiving the news, Meng Zhi and Xia Dong prepared to break into the prison at night to rescue Gong Yu.Lin Chen on the side shook his head when he saw how reckless the two of them were. In order not to disturb Mei Changsu who was recovering from illness, he helped them come up with a good idea to deal with Cai Shangshu without any blood, saving Gong Yu and making Cai Quan no longer pursue the case.Meng Zhi was very happy, but Lin Chen poured cold water on him and asked him to check the new wife of his personal guard. It was she who leaked the news.
After Mei Changsu regained consciousness, he asked Lin Chen to investigate the manpower left by Princess Xuanji.He recalled King Yu's dying words, pondered the motives of Qin Banruo and Xia Jiang in vowing to help him, and suspected that King Yu was related to the Hua tribe.Mei Changsu asked Gong Yu, who was also from the Hua tribe, and learned that Princess Linglong of the Hua tribe once had a child. After Princess Linglong died in the battle, the child disappeared.
In anticipation of the Marquis's birthday, the door was filled with guests.A woman surnamed Han came to congratulate her with her son Han Zhao, saying that she was an old friend of Marquis Yan. Marquis Yan received them alone.It turns out that the Han family had a relationship with Xia Jiang, and Han Zhuo was Xia Jiang's son.This time when the Han family came to Beijing, they wanted to end things with Xia Jiang and ask their son to collect his body.Han handed over the list of Xia Jiang's remaining parties to Yanhou.Based on the information collected from various channels, Jingyan carried out a large-scale purge inside and outside the palace.
Mei Changsu came to Tianlao and told Xia Jiang everything that happened.Xia Jiang, who deserved his crime, lost all his trump cards and finally showed despair, and what awaited him would be even greater waves.
During his inspection, Meng Zhi saw Yujin sending Xie Bi, the second son of the Xie Mansion, on a long journey, and knew that news of Xie Yu's death had reached the capital.Xie Bi did go to Qianzhou to collect Xie Yu's body.Mei Changsu secretly sent someone to escort him all the way, fearing that something might happen to him.
In Su Mansion, Mei Chang Su De reported that Hou had agreed to the prince's request.Mei Changsu asked someone to tell the prince that it would be most logical for Princess Liyang to come forward in this matter.
Princess Liyang was assassinated in her mansion and was rescued by Jingrui, who happened to be back.Li Yang believed that he lived in seclusion and had nothing to do with the world. Only Xie Yu's handwriting, which had never left him, would lead to death.For the safety of his mother, Jingrui decided to check the contents of the handwriting.The handwritten book details the entire process of Xie Yu and Xia Jiang's joint efforts to create the Meiling injustice case 13 years ago. Each and every case is shocking and outrageous.Faced with such a tragic truth, Jingrui could no longer sit still and stood up to reveal the truth, but was stopped by Li Yang. Knowing her old love, she couldn't just watch Jingrui die.However, Jingrui said that he could not be an accomplice of the concealer, and there were already people competing for the handwriting. Even if he did not tell, he would not be able to stay out of the matter.Li Yang decided to give the handwritten letter to Prince Jingyan.
Wei Zheng searched hard for many years and finally found Bingxucao. Both Li Gang and Lin Chen couldn't help but rejoice because Pavilion Master Lin once said that Bingxucao can detoxify fire and cold poison. The sect leader was finally saved, but Lin ChenBut a basin of cold water was poured on him.It turns out that while relying on Bingxucao to detoxify, ten strong men also need to exchange blood with the patient, and after the blood exchange, the ten people will die of blood.
Li Gang and the other three expressed their willingness to exchange blood for the sect master without hesitation, but Lin Chen said that Mei Changsu would never agree.Mei Changsu, who heard the conversation, came out and said that he could not lose morality that was more important than his life.
Jingyan wants to restore Lin Shu's identity, but Mei Changsu refuses. Jingyan cannot understand his choice and starts to argue with him.Mei Changsu explained that his image in front of the world was that of a scheming counselor, and Jingyan wanted to be a compassionate, fair and selfless monarch, and he could not have such a person around him.He told Jingyan to establish a new dynasty that eliminates falsehood and preserves truth, and is clear and frank.Jingyan felt sour in his heart, thinking that the two were not contradictory.While the two were arguing, Princess Liyang asked to see them.
Princess Liyang and Jing Rui entered the palace, saw Mei Changsu, and asked him to avoid him, but Jingyan said that Mr. Su and I are the same person, and there is no need to avoid him at any time.
Yan Hou brought Han's mother and son to Xiajiang Prison. Han ordered his son to kowtow to Xie Yu and asked his son to take Xia Jiang as a warning not to forget his good intentions.Xia Jiang regretted it too much and was speechless.
Jingyan asked Princess Liyang to hand in a letter to surrender in front of hundreds of officials at the birthday banquet of Emperor Liang. This caused a heated situation and forced Emperor Liang to order a retrial of Chi Yan's old case.Princess Liyang did not agree and asked what good it would do to her.Mei Changsu and Jingyan felt cold when they heard this, and Jingyan mercilessly issued an eviction order.
After Li Yang left, Jingyan comforted the disappointed and sad Mei Changsu, and prepared to let Yanhou make the first announcement in front of the palace.
Jingrui understood his mother's contradictions and sorrow.Once the verdict is reversed, Xie Bi and the Xie clan will be implicated.The eldest princess of Liyang wanted to ask for mercy with her face, but before she could speak clearly, the prince angrily kicked her out.
The eldest princess of Liyang believed that the Crown Prince was determined to avenge his injustice, and the Xie Mansion would be implicated by then. Moreover, if she stood idly by and watched, she would have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of her life.She made up her mind, went back and agreed to Jingyan's request.Jingyan took the initiative to promise to pardon the Xie family for all the crimes that had implicated the whole family. Only then did the eldest princess realize that she was not the one who really wanted to help him, and he did not want to be helped.Mei Changsu knew that this was a tough battle and reminded Jingyan to consider variables and prepare backup plans. However, Jingyan had already contacted the ministers and cut off Emperor Liang's contact with the outside world.Mei Changsu was pleased to see Jingyan's increasingly sophisticated handling methods.
Mei Changsu asked Jingyan to take him with him on the day of Emperor Liang's birthday party. Jingyan said excitedly that it was a matter of course and he would definitely be allowed to witness the final result.Mei Changsu's respectfulness and courtesy made Jingyan uncomfortable, so he let Mei Changsu be Lin Shu in front of him.Mei Changsu's shout to Jingyan brought back the beautiful memories of the two of them.During the conversation, Mei Changsu revealed that he would retire soon after the unjust case was revealed, which made Jingyan very reluctant to leave.
Seeing Tingsheng learning archery in the courtyard, Mei Changsu suggested that Jingyan keep Tingsheng's life experience a secret. Because without the birth of Jade Disk, Tingsheng could not regain his royal status. Jingyan decided to adopt Tingsheng as his adopted son so that he could have no family life.A carefree life.
As the birthday of Emperor Liang approaches, Jingrui encourages the eldest princess to face the challenge calmly.Jingyan and his wife had breakfast with Emperor Liang.After the birthday banquet began, the ministers took turns to congratulate him on his birthday, and Emperor Liang beamed with smiles.At this time, the eldest princess of Liyang came to kneel down alone, saying that she not only came to celebrate her birthday, but also wanted to confess on behalf of her minister Xie Yu that she had deceived the emperor and framed Zhongliang for the crime of treason.She held up her handwriting and listed Xie Yu's crimes one by one, regardless of Emperor Liang's objections.Emperor Liang repeatedly shouted to stop, but the eldest princess ignored it and continued to reveal the truth of the case.Emperor Liang Longyan was furious and ordered the imperial guards to take her down, but no one obeyed.At this time, Meng Zhi knelt down and begged Emperor Liang to let the eldest princess finish her words.Li Yang took the opportunity to list Xie Yu's five major crimes.Her clear voice resounded throughout the hall, and Xie Yu's crime was so monstrous that it was shocking.The clan members and ministers could no longer sit still and came out one after another to demand a retrial of Chi Yan's old case.Looking at the courtiers and clan members kneeling on the ground, Emperor Liang asked with a trembling voice: Do you want to force me together?
At this time, Prince Jingyan also stood up silently, stood among the ministers, and demanded a retrial of Chi Yan's old case.Only then did Emperor Liang realize that all this was planned and led by Jingyan.Seeing the elder knelt down and unable to afford his clan members and courtiers, he knew that people's hearts were turning to the prince and that he was no longer able to control the situation of the court.
Jing Yan bluntly stated that re-examination of old cases is about the truth and innocence, and about major issues of right and wrong. Those who are guilty or guilty should be held accountable.Emperor Liang suspected that he would take the opportunity to rebel, but Jingyan frankly stated that he would not rebel.Emperor Liang cast suspicious eyes on Mei Changsu again.Mei Changsu stood up slowly. Regardless of Emperor Liang's obstruction, he recounted one by one his father Lin Xie's actions in helping and saving Emperor Liang.He asked Emperor Liang sternly, "Shuai Lin is a friend and minister, and he will live up to His Majesty. What he wants now is just to restore the truth. Why can't he agree? Emperor Liang was shocked to realize that the person in front of him must be Lin Shu."He almost frantically yelled "rebellious ministers and traitors" and rushed towards Mei Changsu with his sword. Jingyan stood in front of him with his chest raised.Emperor Liang pointed his sword at Jingyan, but Jingyan remained unmoved and firmly stated that he would never be the second King Qi.The sword in Emperor Liang's hand finally fell to the ground with a clang.He left the hall feeling lost.
Emperor Liang vented his anger unscrupulously in the palace. He regretted being forced into such a desperate situation by the prince of the prison country.Concubine Jing helped Emperor Liang up and told him that the prince only wanted to request a retrial of Chi Yan's old case and had no intention of rebellion. The important reason for the retrial was because the truth was what it was.
Outside the palace, none of the ministers left, they were all waiting for the order quietly.Emperor Liang thought for a long time and summoned Mei Changsu alone.Mei Changsu entered the palace alone and bluntly pointed out that Emperor Liang had buried all family ties and morals in unwarranted suspicion.In fact, old friends often appeared in his dreams over the years, which made Emperor Liang uneasy. At this time, he did not have the courage to read the handwritten letter submitted by Mei Changsu, and did not dare to face the fact that his own flesh and blood and loyal ministers and generals were persecuted to death.Faced with Emperor Liang's unreasonable sophistry and despicable speculations, Mei Changsu told Emperor Liang that King Qi only left one sentence before his death, that is, the father does not know the son, and the son does not know the father.
Faced with the bloody facts, Emperor Liang still insisted that King Qi was arrogant and that Lin Xie supported his troops and had self-respect, and indeed had the intention of rebellion.Mei Changsu angrily accused Emperor Liang of only having the majestic imperial power and no longer having the world in his heart.
Emperor Liang knew that the situation was over and he had no choice, so he agreed to a retrial and a heavy sentence, but Lin Shu could not stand alive in the court and in front of the people of the world.Mei Changsu nodded in agreement, saying that he and Emperor Liang would never have to see each other again, and turned around and left without any regrets.In fact, he never wanted to see the uncle who loved him so much in the past but now had a blood feud.
Emperor Liang issued an edict to review Chi Yan's old case.More than a month later, the case was concluded, and Ruhai's grievances were finally brought to light.
Lin Chen asked Mei Changsu to really relax and stop thinking about how long he could hold on.Believe in him, if the two of you work hard together, miracles will happen.
Emperor Liang Mingtang issued an order, and the grievances spread throughout the country. The survivors and family members of the original Red Flame Army were properly resettled or compensated, and the main culprit Xia Jiang was executed by Lingchi.Jingyan specially set up a spiritual altar, and Emperor Liang led hundreds of officials to worship in person to appease the souls of the dead.The justice of heaven has been revealed, and the unjust case has finally been overturned.
In Su's house, Lin Chen excitedly recounted the travel route, preparing to take Mei Changsu and Feiliu on a sightseeing tour.Mei Changsu finally let go of his worries and prepared to leave Jinling after the memorial ceremony.
In the newly renovated Lin family ancestral hall, Mei Changsu knelt in front of the Lin family's memorial tablet, with a solemn look on his face and said nothing.He believed that both his father and mother could understand the thousands of words in his heart.
Suddenly, urgent reports came frequently in the army. Dayu, Donghai Navy, Nanchu, Yeqin, and Beiyan invaded at the same time, and the border was in a hurry.Jingyan convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and a military commander proposed peace on the grounds of insufficient troops, but Nihuang objected.Jingyan asked who was willing to lead the expedition, but all the military leaders declined because of their old age.Jingyan had no choice but to lead his troops to conquer the area himself.
Jingrui and Yujin received support from their families and went to the recruitment office to sign up.Mei Changsu blocked Jingyan's personal expedition, saying that he must make peace within the borders of the country. The King of Liang could not trust him, so leaving the capital was bound to suffer backlash.He analyzed the entire battle situation and asked Ni Huang to defeat Southern Chu, Nie Feng and Xia Dong to defeat Northern Yan, while he asked for orders to fight against Dayu.Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jingyan, and Nihuang also firmly objected.At Mei Changsu's insistence, Jingyan said that as long as the doctor around him said he could go in person, he would agree.
Mei Changsu wanted to persuade Lin Chen, but he strongly opposed it.In an emergency, Mei Changsu excitedly expressed that he was a descendant of the Lin family and would definitely not sit idly by when the national crisis hit.It would be a great blessing in life to be able to die in battle as Lin Shu.Lin Chen was deeply moved and decided to go to the battlefield with Mei Changsu and accompany him until the last day.
Jingyan and Nihuang were very reluctant to give up.Mei Changsu comforted Jingyan that Dayu was his most familiar enemy and he would definitely win if he attacked him.Jingyan promised to put the people first and not lose his true heart to create a different world.
The army set off, and Mei Chang Su Shujia went out to fight. He and Nihuang said goodbye reluctantly.Mei Changsu knew that he did not have much time to live, so he promised that he would stay hand in hand with Nihuang in the next life, and Nihuang agreed with tears.Jingyan stood on the city wall, overlooking the expedition team, and watched Mei Changsu leave.
After the war subsided, Mei Changsu failed to return to Jinling.Emperor Liang died and Jingyan ascended the throne.A few years later, Daliang's government was harmonious and the country was prosperous and the people were safe.On this day, the Ministry of War asked Your Majesty to name the newly reorganized army.Jingyan dipped his hands in thick ink and wrote three vigorous and powerful characters: Chang Linjun.
