Nirvana In Fire

In the next few days, Mei Changsu seems to have adjusted his emotions. He can tease Fei Liu while listening to Tong Lu's detailed report on the movements of various parties in the capital.

He no longer thinks about the woman who disappeared in the vortex of family destiny. Although the woman once wobbled and caught him by his legs when he was young, those memories are too long, and it is not like him. Yes, for Xie Qi as an adult, his impression is light, just the background of some of his plans.

So if you do n’t want it, try not to think about it.

Yu Wang's movements were indeed not slow. On the third day, Xie Yu went to prison, and the Manchu Dynasty was shaken. The Prince's people quickly used all their strength to inquire about the situation and take turns to plead for their love.

The first-rank military fell down instantly, which in any case is a major case in recent years.

But what surprised some people who didn't know the truth was that neither the honorary king who initiated the case nor the prince who was desperately trying to protect him had requested a trial. This procedure should have been necessary.

Therefore, Xie Yu's case was indeed left to be left alone by Emperor Liang, who did not let any foreign minister publicly intervene.

In such a situation, Xie Qi's funeral was delayed accordingly.

After several small and low-key rituals, her coffin stopped in a quiet clean room in the Upper Ancient Temple of Jingxi, lit a long lantern, and waited for her husband-in-law to pick her up and move into Zhuozu's grave.

Xiao Jingrui's injury was not cured, so he struggled to support the coffin for his sister.

Here, Princess Changyang has asked her to become a monk, reclusive in the ancient temple, and keep the incense for her daughter.

The repeated attacks over the past few days, even though it has been a life-long storm here, can't bear it, and the disease is getting worse.

Because of the lack of recuperation, Xiao Jingrui's injury did not improve.

Instead, Xie Bi had to grapple his teeth and start to work together, to start some affairs again, to take care of the sick mother and the injured brother.

Xie Xu, who was studying at Songshan Academy, was shocked by the great changes in his family at this time, but because of the letter written by Princess Changyang, he could not return to Beijing, and his teacher Mr. Mo Shan was also retained by Mei Changsu Zhi, so he did not Able to come back.

The emperor Liang, who was disturbed by these irritations, went to the spring hunting in the hibiscus paddock according to the original arrangement. He spent two days back to the palace, and once he came back, he rewarded Jingjing Liang horses and golden beads Ten pieces, one piece of jade wishfulness, also received some rewards from Zhubei.

The princes and Yuwang who came home empty-handed could not help but feel a bit sorrowful, but one self-confessed the identity of a prince, and the other thought that Su Ji ’s own rewards were much better than this. Give a gift to congratulate Jing Wang for showing his courage and earning face for Da Liang.

Some officials followed suit and naturally went home to give gifts.

King Jing only received a few princes ’gift slips, saying that they were“ brothers ’favors but not friends”, and returned them according to the rules. The gifts from other courtiers were rejected one by one, and only a cup of tea was given. Willing to talk more.

The news reached Liang Di's ears, which made him very satisfied.

On the fifth day after the spring hunting, no news of Xie Yu's disposal had yet to come out.

Mei Changsu was not in a hurry, and took iron scissors to leisurely trim flowers and plants in the courtyard.

In the afternoon, Li Gang came to visit Yu Wang. He hadn't returned to his room to change his dirty coat when he was flipping flowers and trees, and Yu Wang had come in a rage.

The two walked into the room together, and before the people quit completely, Yu Wang couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is crazy!"

"Your Highness, please use tea," Mei Changsu handed a small celadon bowl to Yu Wang, and asked quietly, "What did His Highness just say?"

"Uh ..." Yu Wang knew what he was saying and quickly changed his mouth. "I mean, I don't know what your majesty is thinking. Xie Yu's case is nailed on the board. It's time to talk about prosperity again. Ning Duo is not tied up. The death penalty is inevitable. Is there any hesitation? "

"Your Majesty hesitated?" Mei Changsu was still not surprised. "Isn't it alright a few days ago?"

"You don't know, Xia Jiang is back.

This old thing, I did n’t realize that he had such a friendship with Xie Yu, and Si Ming, who was hanging the mirror, should stay out of the situation. He actually broke the case for Xie Yu, and asked for the Holy Drive on his own initiative. What kind of tongue, Your Majesty's tone changed today, called me to inquire about the situation of the day, as if some doubt that Xie Yu was framed. "

"The iron proofs are like mountains. Isn't Tianquan Villa still some letters written by Xie Yu? Zhuo Qingyao still has the floor plan of the family department Shen Chaifudi painted by Xie Yu. He tried to assassinate the court officials by illegal means. Sin, I ’m afraid that it ’s not someone who can flip their tongues to turn it over? ”

"That's what I said, and I felt uncomfortable after all.

Xia Jiang was a man with means, and His Majesty trusted him again. After hearing that he came back, Xia Dong helped us that night and scolded her a lot, and she is still under house arrest and not allowed to move.

Looking at his position, he did not care about the consequences. He was determined to protect Xie Yu.

They have never had intimate contacts with each other. How can it be so important? "

Mei Changsu's eyes flickered and asked faintly, "Did he go to heaven to see Xie Yu?"

"I saw it once.

Pushed all my people out, and couldn't find out what they were talking about. "

"Xie Yu's confession?"

"He recognized some, others didn't."

"In other words, he admitted that he had done something illegal for the prince, but he didn't recognize the big case involving Royal Tianwei like the killing of the internal supervisor?"

"Yes, he made a quick decision, and indeed used Zhuo Dingfeng's power, including the assassination of Shen Zhui. He also recognized it.

Other things that mattered, he cried and complained of injustice, counter-charging that Zhuo Dingfeng deliberately planted him on his behalf in order to avenge his personal revenge. "

"Well," Mei Changsu nodded. "It seems that Xie Yu just asked for his life.

This is also true. As long as he saves his life, he can tolerate whatever he punishes. As long as the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne in the future, is he still worried that he has no chance to return? "

"He is delusional," Yu Wang was poked at the painful place, and sneered. "If this king can't cure him this time, it's a waste of your efforts to plan for me."

"Oh," Mei Changsu didn't answer, and asked the others. "The day before yesterday, I asked Your Highness to let Zhuo Dingfeng make a list of all the things in the past years. I wonder if it was listed?"

"I brought it today," Yu Wang took out a piece of paper from the boots and handed it to Mei Changsu. "This Xie Yu is really bold and arrogant. This king has not been killed by him in these years. It is really luck."

Mei Changsu took the paper slip and seemed to go through it casually and asked smoothly: "Some people are afraid that Zhuo Dingfeng doesn't know why Xie Yu should kill it?"

"Yes.

Some even the king could n’t figure out what he would do to kill him, like that ... then what a teacher ... it ’s strangely dead. "

Mei Changsu seemed to have trouble remembering it, so he took the paper list again and looked for it. "Oh, Your Highness is talking about this Li Zhongxin? Zhenping killed him in 23 years, almost twelve or three years from now. It really is An old case.

Maybe it's a personal grudge. "

"A teacher teacher has a personal grudge against Ning Guohou? Is the husband telling a joke?"

"It is indeed a joke," Mei Changsu said lightly. "His Highness is not in a hurry. Although Xia Jiang is trusted by the Emperor, will His Holiness's pet in front of the Emperor be inferior to him? This time, if Xie Yu escapes his life, Not to mention whether he has a chance to resurrect, but what he fears is that His Majesty ’s power in the eyes of the hundred officials will be reduced, but it is something that cannot be compromised. "

Yu Wang's face was gloomy, obviously this sentence was right in his mind.

In fact, Xie Yu now has no authority, and there is little difference between death and immortality, but since it has been so vigorously opened, if it ends badly, I am afraid that the people in his camp will be unstable, thinking that the emperor's grace will be reduced.

But ... is it really just "thought"?

In recent driving encounters, although Emperor Liang's attitude is still gentle, he is aloof between words and words. Knowing the sensitivity of the king, he naturally perceives the difference, but can't think of the root cause for the time being.

"His Royal Highness," Mei Changsu's voice interrupted Yu Wang's contemplation. "You still have some strength in Heaven Prison? Can you let me go in and see Xie Yu?"

"Do you want to see Xie Yu? The heart of this man's jackal is now life-saving. I'm afraid it's not just words that can be moved?"

"That depends on how you say it." Mei Changsu slowly folded the paper sheet in his hand. "His Royal Highness, you also said that Xie Yu and Xia Jiang have not had a deep personal relationship, so in my opinion, he is trying to protect Xie Yu this time. , I want to come not for love, but for profit. "

"What profitable is Xia Jiang? Is it because he is also the prince ..."

"No," Mei Changsu shook his head flatly. "Xia Jiang's loyalty to His Majesty is absolutely unacceptable.

For him, everything is done for His Majesty ’s sake, I am afraid that even His Highness will not deny it? "

"This is because Xia Jiang is loyal to his father and emperor, so I can't figure out why he jumped out at this time."

"Speaking of this, I have just experienced it a few days ago. Being loyal to you does not mean that he will not deceive you. Sometimes he will do something without you. I believe in my heart that it is for your good. . "

"Mr. meaning, Xia Jiang also cheated his father and emperor?"

"It's just speculation." Mei Chang Su Yang raised the long list in his hand. "Conjecture, naturally all the possibilities have to be considered. For example, I am thinking ... Is there some in this list? People ... was Xie Yu killed for Xia Jiang? "

He spoke out, Yu Wang had jumped up, his right fist fell into his left palm, and his voice was ruthless: "Yes! Mr. is really agile, what kind of affection can Xia Jiang and Xie Yu have? Holding the handle in Xie Yu's hands, he kept his life, and he said nothing, this is a deal! This is definitely the deal they reached when they met in the prison! "

Mei Changsu stretched out his hand slowly and made a gesture that commemorated Wang Jingyijing, with a slight smile on his lips, "His Highness, don't be excited first.

As I said just now, all this is just speculation. If speculation is used as the basis for formulating countermeasures, I am afraid there will be deviations.

Please arrange for me to see Xie Yu first, even if you can't ask anything, it's always possible to explore the tone. "

"Yes, this king is reckless." Yu Wang also felt disturbed, and his expression was busy and steady. "It's easy to arrange to go to the prison. Sir, don't worry."

I will also let them lock Xie Yu, so as not to hurt his husband rudely. "

"Why not? Fei Liu will follow me ..." Mei Chang Su paused and asked, "Can I go together?"

"It's okay," Yu Wang responded in a hurry. "But I forgot. There are Fei Liu guards, and I'm still worried about Xie Yu."

Mei Changsu paid a polite gesture and said, "His Royal Highness should continue to listen carefully to the situation of other people in the court.

I wonder if there is any new trend recently? "

He mentioned this, Yu Wang's brow wrinkled unconsciously.

Qin Banruo did n’t know how to do it recently, and everything went wrong. The eye line that was originally inserted into the concubine of many ministers had accidents. They were either found by mistake when collecting intelligence, or were arrested in a private case, or were inexplicably disappointed and deported. When I went to the Beyond Garden, I even ran away quietly and escaped. In a short period of time, seven or eight important eyeliners were folded. This talented woman was so anxious that she was busy dealing with the subsequent mess and had not provided any useful information for a long time.

Mei Chang Su Yang gave him a glance, and he didn't question, but said lightly, "It doesn't matter. The courtiers, aren't they all just looking forward to your Royal Highness? It's just that now it's easy to put the prince's momentum on his head. Go down, Your Highness must not be exhausted. "

Yu Wang glanced over his face, his palm clenched into a fist in the sleeve, and there seemed to be a stormy wind between his teeth.

"Sir, don't worry, this king ... understand ..."

Mei Changsu slowly lowered his eyes, picked up the thin white porcelain tea bowl on his hand, handed it to his lips, and took a sip safely.
