《Nirvana in Fire》E27
Episode 27
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.
