Prince Yu nodded and said thoughtfully, "Master is right. Good steel should be used on the blade. Let's put this evidence aside for now. As long as we use it once at the critical moment, it will help us turn the tables."
Qin Banruo didn't know how to express her thoughts at this moment. She didn't expect that Wang Yue had guessed all the possibilities.
She didn't need to think about it and said directly, "Your Highness, Master, I think it's still not feasible. The witness Zhuo Dingfeng was originally Xie Yu's confidant. If he disappears for too long, Xie Yu will definitely react.
When the time comes, Mei Changsu, who provided the evidence, will probably be the first target of his attack. In this way, we are actually selling out Mei Changsu in disguise.
Your Highness, he is a man of extraordinary talent, who would have the potential to conquer the world if he were known. If you do this, you will be pushing him to the side of the crown prince.
I gave Mei Changsu to the Crown Prince just to take advantage of Xie Yu. I feel that this is not worth it.
Your Highness, I feel that if you want to blackmail Xie Yu into doing something, you have to do it as soon as possible and never involve Mei Changsu."
Prince Yu now had an even greater headache. On his left was Mei Changsu, and on his right was Xie Yu, whom he could use once. It was really difficult to make a decision.
He couldn't help but rub his brows and said helplessly, "He said with some entanglement, you can't have your cake and eat it too! What should I do?"
Master Ji shook his head helplessly and said somewhat depressedly, "Xie Yu was able to accomplish so many things by using Zhuo Dingfeng, and Zhuo Dingfeng is only the second largest gang in the world, but Mei Changsu has the world's largest gang.
Your Highness, why don’t you hand over the evidence to His Majesty? Perhaps this is the last test from that talented scholar on Your Highness.
Besides, using Xie Yu once and then waiting for his crazy counterattack is definitely not as cost-effective as using Mei Changsu."
Prince Yu pondered for a while, and then said in agreement, "Master, your reminder is correct. I think the saying that a talented man can conquer the world refers to Mei Changsu's wisdom, and the other half refers to the Jiangzuo League in his hands.
Xie Yu has the second largest gang in the underworld, and he dared to attack the palace eunuchs. It is conceivable that the power of the underworld is probably stronger than we think. "
Qin Banruo thought of Wang Yue's reminder to her to try to downplay the involvement of Mei Changsu and the Kingdom of Yue, so she nodded and added, "It is indeed possible. The Jiangzuo League first appeared in Jiangzuo, but the King of Yue obviously has no intention of ruling the country.
In recent years, the Jiangzuo League has long left Jiangzuo, and it seems that the Jiangzuo League is looking for its lord all over the world.
Prajna thinks that since Mei Changsu came first and then the Jiangzuo League, Your Highness should not underestimate Mei Changsu's wisdom, lest he misunderstands you. "
Prince Yu thought that Wang Yue still didn't dare to claim the throne, so he laughed happily and said, "The King of Yue has been in Jiangdong for a long time, and has learned from the rats of the Three Kingdoms. He only wants to be his prince after the world is unified.
However, it's good that he has this self-awareness. If I have the chance in the future, I can use him to deal with Nan Chu.
And Mei Changsu is indeed a talented person. I just told him the news we got, and he immediately came up with a plan and captured Zhuo Dingfeng who was inseparable from Xie Yu. It shows how strong he is.
But, I don’t know what method he came up with to capture Zhuo Dingfeng and make him betray Xie Yu.”
Qin Banruo shook his head and pretended to be confused, "I don't know about that. I think it's just taking advantage of the strength of Jiangzuo League. The first largest faction in the martial arts world against the second largest, they will definitely win, but the losses will also be great."
Prince Yu also thought this was probably the case. After all, this thing is easy to say but very difficult to do. Mei Changsu was able to accomplish it quietly, which shows that he has extraordinary abilities.
Seeing that Mei Changsu was willing to sacrifice the Jiangzuo League in order to win over Zhuo Dingfeng, he increasingly felt that it was extremely important for him to get rid of Xie Yu and win Mei Changsu's heart.
So he did not hesitate any longer and hurried into the palace to hand the evidence to Emperor Liang.
……
Daliang Imperial Palace, Wuying Hall!
After reading the memorial submitted by Prince Yu, Emperor Liang was furious. Who gave this man the courage to touch a eunuch?
He said angrily, "Xie Yu, Xie Yu, I have spoiled him for so many years in vain, humph!"
Prince Yu was very happy to see his father was angry, so he immediately added fuel to the fire, "Yes, Xie Yu is a cunning man, and among the civil and military officials in the court, who doesn't think he is a loyal minister and a pillar of the court?
If Zhuo Dingfeng had not found out the real cause of his son's death and then voluntarily turned himself in to report it, I would never have thought that such a major case as the assassination of a eunuch under the palace was actually planned and completed by Xie Yu?
Not to mention that he had formed a clique for personal gain, used Tianquan Villa to eliminate dissidents, assassinated high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and committed numerous crimes that are too numerous to list. "
When he said this, he secretly glanced at Emperor Liang's reaction and found that Emperor Liang nodded slightly. Knowing that Emperor Liang had listened, he continued, "This treacherous man actually didn't take the kindness of the emperor father to heart at all. He is really ambitious!"
This sentence touched Emperor Liang's heart. He originally liked Xie Yu because he was obedient, but now he found that this man even dared to attack people in the imperial city. He was too bold and could not keep him.
He then asked seriously, "Have you finished excerpting Zhuo Dingfeng's confession?"
Prince Yu nodded quickly and said very respectfully, "I have already done it. According to Zhuo Dingfeng's confession, the Royal Aunt was not aware of Xie Yu's affairs. I beg you to forgive me for the crime of implicating her."
The reason why he pleaded for Princess Li Yang was, of course, because of Mei Changsu's plea. Mei Changsu felt sorry for Xiao Jingrui and didn't want to implicate him.
Wang Yue had known this for a long time, so he did not take any action. He just gave a push in this matter.
Emperor Liang was very happy to hear Prince Yu's words, and he praised, "It's rare that you are so filial to your elders. The Empress Dowager has been in poor health recently. For the sake of her longevity, we can't let Li Yang suffer for Xie Yu.
Fortunately, Li Yang has her own mansion, which was named Ningguo Marquis Mansion, so let her move in with her children and make it a princess mansion."
Prince Yu nodded quickly and said respectfully, "Father is right!"
Seeing that Prince Yu was neither arrogant nor impatient, Emperor Liang praised him and said, "I order you to take charge of Xie Yu's case. You must investigate every single thing thoroughly. Don't let anything that Xie Yu has done go unpunished. You must remember the things that he has not done, and don't let others pile on the charges."
Prince Yu nodded quickly and said respectfully, "Your son obeys my order!"
……
Jinling, Tianlao,
With Prince Yu coming with the imperial edict, although Xie Yu was somewhat unwilling, he knew that resistance was meaningless, so he let Prince Yu lock him up in the Sky Prison.
However, Xie Yu, who was in the cell, did not speak a word, so Prince Yu could not handle the case quickly.
In order to let Xie Yu tell the story of the old case of the Chiyan Army, to convince Prince Jing that the Chiyan Army was wrongly accused, and to prepare for overturning the Chiyan Army's case, Mei Changsu went to the prison on purpose.
The reason he beat him was still to help Prince Yu pry open Xie Yu's mouth. He really took advantage of Prince Yu once again and made Prince Yu very grateful.
It’s a pity that Xie Yu knew that Xia Jiang was his last life-saving trump card, and he refused to speak until Xia Jiang came back.
Mei Changsu looked at the calm Xie Yu and knew why, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "Who are you waiting for? Let me guess, is it Xia Jiang who is not in the capital?"
Xie Yu didn't expect Mei Changsu to be so capable and guessed it right away. He sneered and said, "Mr. Su, you'd better not waste your energy. I won't tell you anything before Xia Jiang comes back.
I will bet on Xia Jiang, betting that he will save me, he is my last chance of survival."
Mei Changsu shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I have blocked your way out."
Xie Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Mei Changsu said indifferently, "I'm afraid you forgot one person. Is the person you asked Zhuo Dingfeng to kill Li Zhongxin?"
Xie Yu was very excited after hearing this, "Li Zhongxin? Zhuo Dingfeng did kill him, but he didn't know for whom. I never mentioned this matter, let alone said that this matter was related to Xiajiang!"
Mei Changsu smiled faintly and said calmly, "You may not know that when you sent Zhuo Dingfeng to kill Li Zhongxin, the King of Yue happened to be in Jinling."
Xie Yu became excited when he heard the name King of Yue. The perfect plan he and Xia Jiang had at that time was almost ruined because of this man.
If Emperor Liang had not insisted on killing Lin Xie, which indirectly saved him and Xia Jiang, they might have both died.
He gnashed his teeth when he heard the name, and said, "So what if he's in Jinling? What does that have to do with Li Zhongxin?"
Mei Changsu once regarded Xie Yu as his first enemy and Xia Jiang as his second enemy. However, after so many years, his mentality has gradually changed. He felt that these two people were just pawns, and only Emperor Liang was his real enemy.
Didn't Emperor Liang say that the Lin family would rebel for Prince Qi? Then he would have to ask Prince Jing to vindicate the Chiyan Army to satisfy Emperor Liang's wish.
He looked at Xie Yu's angry expression and sneered, "You may not know that the King of Yue has always wanted to find evidence of your framing of the Red Flame Army, so he sent people to keep an eye on the Xie family and the Xuanjing Division.
Unfortunately, although your meeting with Xia Jiang was secret, the teahouse had already been bought by King Yue's men, and they heard your conversation clearly.
So, when you returned home and sent Zhuo Dingfeng to kill people, Li Zhongxin had already been replaced by them, and the one left there was just a sick old ghost. "
Xie Yu widened his eyes again and said in disbelief, "After Zhuo Dingfeng killed someone and left, the fire was set by the King of Yue's men?"
Mei Changsu nodded and said helplessly, "We have to let it go. We also have to prevent Xia Jiang from seeing that face."
Xie Yu suddenly showed a look of horror, and he said in disbelief, "Then the King of Yue gave this evidence to you?"
Mei Changsu really liked Xie Yu's frightened look, just like the expression of a mouse when it sees a cat and realizes that it is about to die.
He felt very happy, so he smiled and said, "Yes, you know that the relationship between our Jiangzuo League and Yue State is very close. When the King of Yue heard that I came to Jinling, he asked me to help."
Xie Yu swallowed his saliva. He knew that if the news was exposed, he would be dead. He said uncertainly, "You just said that I am still useful. What do you mean?"
Lin Shu looked at Xie Yu and said calmly, "One day, you will stand up and speak up for the Red Flame Army!"
Xie Yu hurriedly shook his head and kept saying, "No, this definitely won't work!"
Mei Changsu knew what Xie Yu was worried about, so he comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much. As long as you cooperate with us to take down Xia Jiang now, when you need to stand up and protest your injustice, Prince Yu will have already ascended the throne. What are you still worried about?"
Xie Yu knew very well that as long as the current emperor was still alive, the Red Flame Army would never be able to overturn the verdict, so he was worried.
Now he finally understood what Mei Changsu meant. That is to say, he would wait until the old emperor abdicated before letting him come forward to overturn the case. This made him feel relieved.
Just thinking about how he was defeated by Wang Yue in Meiling ten years ago, and then he was defeated again by his junior brother Wu Yue, it has always been his nightmare.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, he fell into Wang Yue's hands again. He said bitterly, "The King of Yue is really loyal to Lin Xie. More than ten years have passed, and he is still running around for General Lin.
Logically speaking, with the strength of Yue State, it could have joined forces with Southern Chu to destroy Daliang, but he has never done so. Could it be that he is waiting to clear General Lin's name?"
In fact, Mei Changsu was also wondering why Wang Yue always stayed in Wu Yue.
He originally thought that Wang Yue was just kind-hearted and couldn't bear to destroy Daliang and let the Central Plains fall into chaos again.
But after Xie Yu's reminder this time, he suddenly had an idea that Wang Yue was waiting to overturn the verdict on the Chiyan Army.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that the people of Daliang are complaining about the Red Flame Army, they can legitimately seize a large amount of territory?
Come to think of it, this is really possible. If this great cause exists, the border guards of Daliang will be much less resistant to the State of Yue.
Mei Changsu didn't care who the kingdom would go to. What he cared about was that Wang Yue and Prince Jing were both his relatives, and he really didn't want to see the two fighting to the death.
However, that is all a matter for the future. Now I have to think about how to take revenge.
He looked at Xie Yu who was smiling bitterly, and said indifferently, "That's because you don't know the King of Yue. It is said that the King of Yue had retired from the army. When he heard that the Red Flame Army was in danger, he still took into account the friendship between his comrades and rushed over to rescue them from afar.
Even after so many years, the King of Yue still wants to avenge General Lin, which is understandable. A sinister villain like you cannot understand such friendship."
Xie Yu looked at Mei Changsu, who had an indifferent expression, and knew that it was really possible, so he said with some melancholy, "But, if I really did this, what benefits would I get?"
Mei Changsu looked at Xie Yu, who looked like a defeated rooster, and said indifferently, "I will probably leave a descendant for your Xie family."
Xie Yu smiled bitterly, he knew that this was the best result he could achieve, so he obediently followed Mei Changsu's request and wrote down what he and Xia Jiangqi had conspired against each other.
Mei Changsu also felt relieved. He was really worried that Xie Yu would not say anything, so he would not be able to completely gain the trust of Prince Jing next door.
If it really comes to that, unless he reveals his identity, it will be difficult to get Prince Jing to agree with him.
Chapter 117 The wind is blowing!
Prince Jing and Xia Dong were on the other side of the prison, listening to the conversation between Mei Changsu and Xie Yu, and their hearts were filled with worries.
It was the first time that Prince Jing heard the truth about what happened that year. Xia Dong was resentful that she and her husband had been separated for more than ten years because of it, so she kept a cold face.
But she has been in the Xuan Jing Division all year round, and others can't see the changes in her expression.
After leaving the prison, Prince Jing looked at Xia Dong's expressionless face and said in disbelief, "Why can you be so indifferent? Could it be that you have already become indifferent to Nie Feng's death?"
As Xia Dong walked forward, he casually asked, "Who said Nie Feng is dead?"
Prince Jing saw that Xia Dong spoke very naturally, his eyes widened, and asked in disbelief, "Did you know the truth a long time ago? Then why didn't you say it out?"
Xia Dong stopped, looked back at Prince Jing, and said with disdain, "Is it useful to speak out? General Lin stood shirtless in the court, recounting the grievances of the past, but he was still given poisoned wine.
Neither I nor Nie Feng can match General Lin's reputation. What's the point of us ants saying it?"
Prince Jing was a little excited, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is it useless? You have obtained substantial evidence. With this thing, you can overturn the case.
Since the case of the Red Flame Army's rebellion was wrong from the beginning, why can't it be changed?"
Xia Dong shook his head and said disappointedly, "Have you only now come to believe that Lin Xie did not commit treason?
No, that is definitely not the case. You should have known long ago that the Red Flame Army had no intention of rebelling, but you have been deceiving yourself by saying that there is no evidence.
Now that the evidence is solid, what are you going to do? Take this evidence to the emperor?
Do you think he really believed that Lin Xie would rebel, or did he want Lin Xie to rebel?"
Prince Jing was speechless. He was too embarrassed to face Xia Dong, so he just bowed hastily and left in a daze.
Xia Dong felt a little bit reluctant when she saw Prince Jing had forgotten even the rules of etiquette, but when she thought about the fact that her husband still couldn't meet her in his true identity, she hardened her heart.
She felt that Nie Feng was right. If she didn't be cruel to Prince Jing and let him take the initiative to help the Chiyan Army overturn the verdict, she could only wait until Prince Yue destroyed Daliang before taking revenge.
……
Jinling, Su Mansion.
When Xie Yu was thrown into prison, Xie Qi was so frightened that she died in childbirth.
Mei Changsu learned that Xie Yu's daughter Xie Qi died of childbirth and the child was taken back by Madam Ren Zhuo. Before he could hand the evidence to Prince Yu, he couldn't help coughing.
Although Xie Yu was his enemy, Xie Qi was his cousin. The passing of another relative made him feel really sad.
Mei Changsu hesitated for a moment, then ordered Zhen Ping, "Send someone to escort Madam Zhuo back to Jiangdong, immediately! Right now!"
