A disaster~~~~
--------------------------------------------------This is reality vs.
The dividing line of the novel————————————————-
Emperor Liang left the Changxin Hall of the East Palace in a rage. He did not sit on the chariot and did not need anyone to help him. He was walking too hastily. As soon as he arrived at Yongfeng Pavilion, he suddenly felt darkness in front of his eyes and fell backward. Fortunately, Meng Zhi
He quickly supported him and was not hurt. Gao Zhan hurriedly took the soothing incense box from his sleeve and blew some powder into Emperor Liang's nose. He sneezed and his red eyes gradually became clear.
"Your Majesty..." Meng Zhi rubbed his back and breathed for him, helped him sit on a rock beside the road, and slowly advised him, "The dragon body is the most important thing, please take care of it, Your Majesty."
Emperor Liang took the hand towel handed by Gao Zhan and wiped his face and eyes. He leaned most of his body weight on Meng Zhi's arm and breathed heavily. As time passed, the anger that had just filled his chest gradually disappeared and was replaced by
There was a feeling of despair and desolation in my heart, tears could not help but fall from my eyes, my back was stooped and I was coughing, and the wrinkles on my yellow face seemed to have deepened a few points.
"Meng Qing... Dong Palace is so resentful. Could it be that I... really did something wrong?"
Meng Zhi was stunned by his question and didn't know how to answer for a while. He had been with Emperor Liang and served as the commander of the Forbidden Army. It was not long ago, but over the years, he had only seen the emperor control and balance his princes with various methods.
I have never had any self-doubt or powerlessness. When have I ever seen him so haggard and sighing, as weak and sad as an ordinary father? Looking at his gray hair, trembling withered hands, and cloudy old eyes, I recall
His fierce and decisive temperament made people feel dazed and unfamiliar.
Maybe, when people get older, they will really change a lot...
"Your Majesty, here at the East Palace, do you plan to..." Meng Zhi asked half a question, but felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly swallowed it back.
Emperor Liang raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears. He gritted his teeth and thought for a long time. He looked hesitant and no one dared to ask him. After half a cup of tea, he ordered: "Today's events are strictly forbidden to be spread to the outside world. We must hide ourselves first."
.”
Meng Zhi and Gao Zhan were both a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn't show it on their faces. They just accepted the order silently. However, Emperor Liang was not a lenient person after all. After pondering for a while, he added: "From now on, the ban will be banned."
No one can enter or leave the East Palace at will."
Meng Zhi asked hesitantly: "Including the prince?"
"Including the prince!" Emperor Liang said in a sad but determined tone, "The prince's three divisions are not allowed to enter unless they have received an order. You, Meng Zhi, will handle this matter."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me," Meng Zhi knelt down and said, "Confining the crown prince is a heavy task, and it is difficult for ministers to fulfill it only by oral instructions. I ask your Majesty to grant you an imperial edict."
Emperor Liang glanced at him and was about to speak when Gao Zhan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come after him and is kneeling by the pool of immortal liquid. Do you see him?"
"...Tell him to go back, I...don't want to see him now..." Emperor Liang closed his eyes, his voice was very tired, "...Bring up the chariot, let's go back to the palace..."
"Your Majesty," Meng Zhi said anxiously, "I am here..."
"Pass the chariot!" Gao Zhan's high-pitched voice sounded harshly, interrupting Meng Zhi's words.
At this time, Emperor Liang had already stood up and stepped on the tread of the chariot tremblingly, which was shaking unsteadily. Under Gao Zhan's command, three or four young eunuchs came around to support him, and finally made him sit calmly.
"Your Majesty..." Meng Zhi waited for him to sit down, and just as he was about to say more, Gao Zhan shouted again, "Let's get going..." to cover up his voice. When Meng Zhi frowned and took a step closer, Emperor Liang had already He leaned on the soft pillow in the carriage, closed his eyes and waved his hand.
His face was filled with sadness at this moment, and his gestures obviously meant that no one should disturb him anymore. Although Meng Zhi was embarrassed, he had no choice but to stop asking more questions and kneel down to send him to the chariot.
The Holy Driver left, and the East Palace was as silent as death. Meng Zhi sighed in his heart and immediately began to deal with the follow-up matters. It was not difficult to hide the matter of today's Changxin Palace without spreading it. There were not many people present at first, and he strictly ordered the Imperial Army to keep silent. Zhi can naturally do it, Gao Zhan, the person in the inner court, can handle it, and the people in the east palace don't dare to say a word, so they simply block the news very tightly.
However, banning everyone from entering and exiting the East Palace is a bit more difficult. The prince himself can say that he is well aware of the reasons for the confinement and does not dare to make trouble in despair. When he is quiet, other people in the East Palace dare not speak out, so in the end The difficult part is mainly outside. As for other people, the prince's young master, young protector, Taifu and others have to come to see the prince every day. Although these people are not party members, they are dedicated to performing their duties. If the prince has a fault, he will immediately Originally, they were the ones who scolded the most, but when the prince was moved to Guijia Palace, they were the ones who protected him the most. It’s just that such quaint ministers no longer have real power in the court and are not as important as they were in the previous court. , so the prince respected them but did not rely on them, and King Yu valued them but was not afraid of them. Most of the time they were symbolic and did not play a big role in the real tense and cunning party struggles. But regardless of whether there were In terms of actual power, these old gentlemen are all the Prince's Third Master. Meng Zhi only relied on the four words "Holy Oral Order" and could not explain the reasons in detail. It was really difficult to stop them. Besides, the claustrophobic crown prince of the East Palace was such a major event that shocked the world, even Daoming issued an edict. None, and it will inevitably lead to doubts.
After being tortured by the third division for a full hour, Meng Zhi, who was thirsty, suddenly realized that what he was doing was too stupid. What kind of reasoning was there? This was no time for debate, and it was not up to him to debate this matter. , so it was wrong from the beginning.
After figuring this out, Meng Zhi immediately knew what to do. After making excuses to avoid it, he specially assigned a few dumb soldiers to guard the palace gate. No matter what others said, they would just say "Oral Order from the Holy Spirit" when they came back. Anyone who wants to reason with these soldiers will definitely not be able to understand the scene clearly. The third division was so angry that they jumped up and shouted for these soldiers to come to Meng Zhi, but they replied blankly: " You are not qualified to talk to the commander-in-chief." He didn't move even half a step, which almost made the old man sick from anger.
After avoiding the officials of the East Palace and those old ministers, Meng Zhi felt a little more relaxed. He came back to adjust his shift, reassigned the most suitable people to their shifts, and arranged for them to go to the East Palace. Fortunately, Emperor Liang fell ill after returning to the palace and was lying in bed in Zhi. Luo Palace had not been moved, which saved Meng Zhi a lot of trouble. By the next morning, the news of the prince's imprisonment gradually spread, and people from all sides came to inquire in waves. The East Palace could not be entered, and the internal eunuch Gao Zhan was in charge It was strict, and the imperial army couldn't pry open the door. The less true the source of information, the more outrageous the guess. Even King Yu didn't bother to show his avoidance of suspicion, and came to visit Meng Zhi in person, hoping to get some information. But he After searching to no avail, neither the Meng Mansion nor the Commander's Mansion could find anyone. They thought he was on duty in the inner garden, but after searching, he was not there either. It could be said that he had disappeared without a trace.
Without knowing the real reason, it would be difficult to formulate corresponding countermeasures. In addition, Emperor Liang was ill and had only Concubine Jing to serve in the harem. Even the Queen and Concubine Yue were not seen. It was impossible to find out his true attitude, whether it was his planning or ability.
Those who were protecting the situation or those who were ready to add fuel to the fire did not dare to act rashly. All kinds of strange arguments were circulated in private, and the government and the public were in chaos.
Of course, although Meng Zhi, one of the important figures in the incident, did not know where he was hiding, he certainly did not really disappear. The number one master of Daliang, who could not be found by anyone, was currently standing in Prince Jing's bedroom.
, facing the surprised room owner, making a comforting gesture.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, no one has noticed my coming," Meng Zhi said in a low voice, "I think it would be better to inform Your Highness as soon as possible about the matter in the East Palace."
Prince Jing was originally a calm-minded person, but he had become more experienced recently, so after being startled, he quickly calmed down. After instructing his confidants outside the door not to let anyone in, he pulled Meng Zhi into the inner room and opened the secret
Daomen said, "Let's talk about it after we meet Mr. Su, so as not to let you say it a second time."
Meng Zhi agreed and followed Prince Jing into the secret passage, wandering to the secret room that he had been to several times. Prince Jing pulled the bell rope placed on the wall to notify Mei Changsu of his arrival, but he could wait.
After waiting for twice as long as usual, there was still no sign of the counselor, which made the two people in the secret room a little uneasy, but they could not go directly through to see what was going on.
After waiting for another stick of incense, there was finally movement in the secret passage on the other side of Su's house. However, even Prince Jing, whose martial arts skills were inferior to Meng Zhi's, could be sure that the person who floated silently after the door rang was definitely not Mei.
Changsu.
Sure enough, a moment later, Fei Liu's young and handsome face appeared at the entrance of the secret room, and he said in a cold and stiff tone: "Wait!"
Meng Zhi glanced at Prince Jing and saw that he was lifeless, so he took a step forward and asked, "Feiliu, did Brother Su call you here?"
"Um!"
"Where's Brother Su?"
"Outside!"
"In the bedroom outside?"
"More outside!"
"In the living room?"
"Um!"
Meng Zhi probably understood something, "Did someone come to talk to Brother Su?"
"Um!"
"who is it?"
"Viper!"
Meng Zhi was startled, "Who are you talking about?"
"Poisonous snake!" Fei Liu didn't like answering the same question repeatedly and glared at him impatiently.
Meng Zhi thought for a while and confirmed: "Is it King Yu?"
"Um!"
Hearing this, Prince Jing and Meng Zhi both understood the situation, felt slightly relieved, and sat down quietly. Fei Liu still stood outside the door, looking at the two of them seriously, with no intention of leaving. Prince Jing's heart suddenly moved, and he asked
He waved his hand and asked: "Fei Liu, why did you call King Yu a poisonous snake?"
"Brother Su!"
After seeing the way Mei Changsu and Fei Liu got along many times, Prince Jing had a rough idea of the young man's way of thinking and guessed: "Brother Su told you that his name is Viper?"
"Um!"
"Do you know why Brother Su calls him Viper?"
"Know!"
"You know?" Prince Jing was a little surprised, "Why?"
"nausea!"
"Who...who is disgusting? Prince Yu?"
"Brother Su!"
Prince Jing and Meng Zhi looked at each other. Both of them were a little confused. After thinking for a long time, they finally came up with a reasonable explanation, "Fei Liu, you don't mean that Brother Su is a disgusting person, but that Brother Su is a disgusting person."
It means that he will feel sick after meeting King Yu, right?"
"Um!"
Prince Jing rolled his eyes, suddenly curious, and asked again: "Prince Yu is a poisonous snake, so who am I?"
Fei Liu tilted his head and looked at him steadily for a while, then slowly said: "Buffalo."
Meng Zhi almost choked, "Buffalo? Why do you think His Highness Prince Jing is a buffalo?"
"have no idea!"
"I don't know?" Meng Zhi was really confused this time, "Did you just randomly choose the word buffalo to refer to His Highness?"
"I think," Prince Jing said without a trace of a smile on his face, but still quite calm, "Fei Liu means that he doesn't know why his brother Su calls me a buffalo."
Meng Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly defended Mei Changsu: "No way, Mr. Su is a serious man, why would he give His Highness a nickname? That's not his usual style."
Prince Jing said calmly: "Maybe this Mr. Su has another side that we don't know about? Besides, he is not the first person to call me Buffalo. In the past, the eldest brother... and Xiao Shu all called me that.
They often say that I don’t like tea but water, and I have a stubborn temper like a cow. I look like a buffalo no matter how I look at it..."
Meng Zhi was so frightened that he even held his breath. The muscles on his face were stiff, as if he didn't know what expression to make. But it didn't matter if he lost his composure for a while longer.
Because Mei Chang Suqia walked in at this moment, Prince Jing's eyes were drawn over and he stared at his counselor intently.
"Sorry for being late. Prince Yu just came to discuss some matters before sending him off." Mei Changsu was explaining. Seeing the very different expressions of Prince Jing and Meng Zhi, he immediately sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, "What's wrong? You guys?
What were you talking about just now?"
