《Nirvana in Fire》E29
Episode 29
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.
