Prince Jing and Commander Meng did not try to stop them. They both knew very well that if anyone spoke out at this time, it would only result in one more person being killed.
……
Zhiluo Palace,
After Prince Jing left Wuying Palace, he hurried over to see Concubine Jing. However, as he was thinking about what happened in the court, his expression did not look very good.
After all, let’s not talk about Nie Yi’s matter, which is probably irreversible. Even if Daliang and Yue State start fighting, no one knows how many countries will take the opportunity to intervene.
He was also a man well versed in military affairs. He could tell at a glance that at this time, the countries surrounding Daliang had already begun sending troops to the border of Daliang.
The ten-day deadline given by Wang Yue was a trap. It was not only a deadline for Daliang to release the people, but also a deadline for other countries to send troops to hunt Daliang.
If a war really breaks out, Daliang might be in real danger!
He felt that he needed to rescue Nie Yi to prevent a war between Liang and Yue, which would give other countries an opportunity to take advantage.
Princess Jing looked at her son's anxious expression and didn't know what had happened, so she hurriedly asked, "What's going on outside? What happened again?"
Prince Jing didn't want to talk about Nie Yi, but just used Wang Yue's intention to use force against Daliang to deal with it. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, mother, there's nothing wrong here, but we in Daliang are going to fight."
Concubine Jing was pouring soup for Prince Jing. After hearing this, her hand could not help but pause. Every time Daliang went to war, Prince Jing had to go to the battlefield.
It was inevitable that a general would die in battle, and she was really worried that something might happen to her son when he went to war, but she also knew that she could not change anything.
So, she suppressed her distress and asked calmly, "What happened? Why do we have to fight when everything is fine?"
Prince Jing sighed. He didn't expect to end up back in the same place after going around in circles. He could only say helplessly, "Xia Jiang captured Nie Feng's brother Nie Yi and originally wanted to transfer Nie Feng out. But he didn't expect the King of Yue to react so strongly. He even said that if Nie Yi was not released, he would raise an army to attack Daliang.
If a fight really breaks out, there will be a pack of wolves surrounding Daliang, and they will all rush over to take a bite.”
When Concubine Jing heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She knew her son very well. If it weren't for the incident with the King of Yue, her son would definitely have been affected by this incident.
She was very grateful to Wang Yue at this moment. If Wang Yue had not sent troops out in anger, her son would have been in trouble.
As for the siege of Daliang by various countries, it has happened before in recent years, so she is not worried at all.
So, she changed the subject and said, "Alas, the two countries are fighting again. It's just a pity for Jingyao. She is caught in a dilemma."
Prince Jing didn't expect his mother to mention Jing Yao. He thought of his mother's good relationship with Concubine Hui in the palace, so he sighed and said, "It can't be helped. However, the war between the two sides has nothing to do with women. I think the King of Yue will not let Jing Yao suffer any grievances. Mother can go and comfort Concubine Hui when she has time."
Concubine Jing nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry. Concubine Hui has helped us many times, both openly and secretly. I will certainly not be ungrateful. Just focus on your own things and don't have to stay here with me."
As a spy, Xiaoxin found it difficult to complete her mission when she saw that the mother and son never mentioned the insult to Concubine Jing.
So, she gritted her teeth and immediately said, "Your Highness finally came back, and you still care about others, but don't you ask the Queen?
The queen has been wronged during your absence, so please comfort her more and don't leave in such a hurry."
Princess Jing quickly interrupted Xiao Xin and said in a slightly angry voice, "Xiao Xin, don't talk nonsense!"
Prince Jing looked at Xiao Xin with a gloomy expression, and then asked Concubine Jing, "Mother, are you hiding something from me?"
Seeing that Concubine Jing was still reluctant to speak, he turned to Xiao Xin and said, "Xiao Xin, you speak!"
Xiao Xin quickly knelt down and said excitedly, "Your Highness, the Queen almost couldn't see you."
Prince Jing was startled, and quickly stood up and shouted angrily, "What on earth happened?"
Seeing that Prince Jing was angry, Concubine Jing quickly stopped him and said, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. I'm fine. The Queen just made things difficult for me."
Prince Jing didn't believe what Concubine Jing said, so he looked at Xiao Xin and said, "If that's the case, why did you stop me? Xiao Xin, tell me everything from the beginning."
Xiao Xin hurriedly told the whole story, including what happened when she escaped from the palace and was knocked unconscious and sent back by people sent by Mei Changsu on the way to Weishan with General Qi.
After she finished, she described it vividly, "That person said that Mr. Su had no intention of rescuing the queen, and also said that if we go to Weishan to report the news, His Majesty will definitely send someone back to rescue the queen, and then come back. But when His Majesty comes back in person, the matter has been forgotten, and there is no benefit at all.
It would be better to let the Queen make more mistakes. When His Majesty returns and sees the Queen's grievances, he will naturally feel more distressed, and the Queen's guilt will naturally be heavier.
He also said that the Empress did not have the power of life and death, and that at most she would be tortured a little, but her life would not be in danger at all."
Upon hearing this, Prince Jing became even more furious. He never considered that Mei Changsu was just a man from the martial arts world who was not even an outsider. How could he have the ability to go to the palace to rescue people?
He was so angry that he shouted excitedly, "Is it not easy to save him if he just suffered a little injustice? What if the queen really tortures him? Will he not care about it?"
Concubine Jing was originally planning to set a trap for the Queen, but she didn't expect that Xiao Xin would say something so serious. However, for her own plan, she still wanted to keep Xiao Xin, so she could only quickly persuade her, "This girl just heard someone else's story, and she didn't get the accurate information at all. And I believe that Mr. Su definitely didn't mean that."
Seeing that his mother still favored Mr. Su, Prince Jing pointed at Xiao Xin and shouted, "Mother, is that something this little girl could have made up?
Weighing the pros and cons, he has done this before. He did it when the princess was in danger, and now his mother is doing it again. He ignores the pain of others and the right and wrong of feelings. I thought he was different from other counselors."
Concubine Jing saw that her son was getting more and more unreasonable, so she immediately scolded him, "Jing Yan! Calm down. I thought you were being overly suspicious about the princess's incident last time, and this time it may not be as you imagined!
Even if this girl is telling the truth, then Mr. Su didn't make any mistakes in his estimation, right?
I was not in any danger, and after His Majesty returned to the palace, he reprimanded the Queen, and everything is as before, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Prince Jing was speechless. He thought he was not as smart as others. He was too concerned and became confused, while others could see everything clearly.
He was a general and knew that he could not send troops out in anger, so he did not say anything.
Seeing that Prince Jing had been persuaded by Concubine Jing, Xiao Xin said excitedly, "How can it be that simple? When the queen was dragged down from the stairs..."
Concubine Jing didn't expect that this traitor was so bold. Could it be that he didn't want to live?
She hurriedly stopped him, but it was too late. Xiao Jingyan no longer listened to Concubine Jing and stormed out of the palace.
……
Lie Zhanying, a close confidant of Prince Jing, had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time. When he saw Prince Jing finally come out, he observed Prince Jing's expression but could not tell anything, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you already know that Nie Yi was arrested and imprisoned in the dungeon of Xuan Jing Division. He could be executed at any time. We cannot just ignore it.
What should we do next? "
After hearing this, Prince Jing suddenly turned around and looked at Lie Zhanying, and asked seriously, "Have you asked Mr. Su about Nie Yi's matter?"
Lie Zhanying had no idea that Mei Changsu was going through a matter of life and death, and thought it was just an ordinary illness. He shook his head in frustration and said in distress, "Mr. Su has been ill recently, and I can't see him at all. They don't seem to listen to anything I say. I feel like everyone in the Su residence is weird."
Prince Jing became even angrier after hearing this. He snorted coldly and said, "What's so strange about this? Maybe they don't care about the things you care about. Anyway, your mother's matter won't kill you, and you can use a self-torture trick to help her.
As for Nie Yi, they don’t need to worry about him, because the King of Yue has already taken care of him for them!
He must have thought that it was useless to deal with the current party disputes, and that the best policy was to turn a blind eye to them. "
Lie Zhanying frowned. He didn't know how the King of Yue would handle it. After all, this was a matter of the Daliang court. How could Yue intervene?
However, they had to take care of it! Many of the guards under Prince Jing were former members of the Red Flame Army.
Therefore, he could only look at Prince Jing and said in distress, "Your Highness, we can't just ignore it."
Prince Jing was now in a state of anger, his IQ dropped drastically, and he said angrily, "I thought that after more than a year, I had become close to him and had similar ideas. I didn't expect that something like this would make me realize that it was just my illusion."
Lie Zhanying did not have as much opinion about Mei Changsu as Prince Jing. He was a straightforward person and he felt that Mei Changsu was just a strategist after all, and it was normal for him to have different ideas from theirs.
So, seeing that Prince Jing was very angry, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness, please persuade Mr. Su. He has many ideas, which is better than us busying around."
After hearing this, Prince Jing realized that it made sense, so he hurried back to his own palace. He also felt that he needed to meet Mei Changsu and talk things out in person.
Lie Zhanying originally thought that by persuading Prince Jing, maybe he could really get Mei Changsu to think of a way to rescue Nie Yi.
What he didn't expect was that when Prince Jing went to see Mei Changsu, he heard a piece of news on the way that surprised him.
Daliang is going to go to war with the Kingdom of Yue!
Others only knew that Emperor Liang was angry because King Yue was rude, so he prepared to fight a war with the Kingdom of Yue.
However, Lie Zhanying was very clear that it was very likely that the King of Yue submitted the letter in order to get Nie Yi back, which led to the anger of Emperor Liang.
Chapter 121 Sweeping Jiangbei!
Lie Zhanying also knew that Nie Yi had served in the Yue Navy before, and had helped fight several battles with Daliang. But later, Nie Yi went to the Jiangzuo League.
Recently, Yue State and Jiangzuo League had a falling out, and Nie Yi’s accident had nothing to do with Yue State.
However, he did not expect that the King of Yue was still so nostalgic and was willing to mobilize the entire country's troops to seek justice for his former comrades.
This made him, a bystander, very moved!
Prince Jing still doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. Even his personal guards were moved by Wang Yue's behavior. What about other soldiers in Daliang?
Under such circumstances, if the two countries fought, the combat effectiveness of Daliang's soldiers would be reduced by at least 30%, while that of Yue's soldiers would be increased by 30%.
Prince Jing only knew that he was very angry. He came to the secret room in the mansion and finally saw Mei Changsu in the secret passage. However, it was better for the two of them not to meet. When they met, it was like a couple quarreling.
Mei Changsu was like a young boy who had no idea what his girlfriend was upset about. He just rationally discussed the matter at hand, not knowing that his girlfriend was talking to him about emotional issues.
In fact, it is no wonder that a smart strategist like Mei Changsu did not notice that something was wrong with Prince Jing. It was because after Mei Changsu woke up, he immediately knew that Prince Jing was brought into the palace by Prince Yu without any preparation, and he was really worried about what had happened.
Fortunately, Prince Jing came out safely, which made him feel relieved. He also wanted to know what happened in the palace.
After seeing Prince Jing now, Mei Changsu now wants to know more about what happened in the palace. Please help Prince Jing respond in time.
Therefore, when he found that Prince Jing was stiff-necked and silent, he had not yet realized the problem. He just endured the weakness of his body and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, you came out of the palace, don't you have anything to say to Su?"
Prince Jing was angry and did not answer Mei Changsu's questions at all, looking indifferent.
He felt that Mei Changsu now needed to explain to him why he cared about Concubine Jing and why he didn't save Nie Yi.
The two of them were not on the same channel at all, so there was no way for them to communicate.
Fortunately, Lie Zhanying was more reliable. Seeing that Prince Jing didn't say anything, he simply asked about what he cared about most, "Mr. Su, saving Nie Yi is no longer a simple matter. This is an opportunity to prevent Daliang and Yue from fighting again. As long as Nie Yi is rescued, the King of Yue will not pursue this matter anymore, and the two countries will not have to fight.
Your Highness often says that Mr. Su's wisdom is unparalleled in the world. Please give me some advice so that we can rescue Nie Yi as soon as possible."
Although Mei Changsu wanted to know what happened in the palace, he could only bite the bullet and said, "General, please be at ease. No matter what strategy I come up with, Your Highness needs to personally implement it.
But over the years, how much oppression and injustice has Your Highness suffered because of the Chiyan case?
If I just stand up, I will definitely anger the emperor, and that will ruin the current good situation."
After hearing this, Prince Jing finally couldn't help it. He said in a cold voice, "Mr. Su, don't worry about this matter. When Xia Jiang and Prince Yu talked about this matter in front of the emperor today, father kept paying attention to my expression. With father's suspicious personality, he will definitely not think of it in a good way. If you still want to hide now, I'm afraid it's too late."
Mei Changsu saw that Prince Jing was determined to save people, so he said excitedly, "Your Highness, no matter who goes to rescue Nie Yi, you are the only one who cannot. Moreover, Xia Jiang is a cunning man, no matter who goes to save Nie Yi, they will fall into his trap.
Besides, the King of Yue will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely arrange for someone to rescue Nie Yi. Doesn't Your Highness understand this?"
He knew how powerful the Jinyiwei was. Even the Jiangzuo League was inferior to them. He didn't believe that Wang Yue would just use force without sending anyone to rescue. That was not Wang Yue's style at all.
The Jiangzuo League only needs to pay attention to the vicinity of Xuan Jingsi and provide support from outside. There is no need for them to get involved in this mess.
But Prince Jing was in a different mood. He even admired Wang Yue very much for mobilizing the entire country's troops to rescue a comrade.
This is very much to his liking!
On the other hand, Mei Changsu always calculates the gains and losses in everything he does, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
So, he snorted coldly and said, "The old case of Chiyan is the deepest thorn between me and my father. From the beginning, Xia Jiang was ready to use Nie Yi to provoke my anger!
He did this to let my father know that I still harbored old hatreds in my heart. Once I was given power and status, I would be a prince who posed a threat to my father.
Because in that case back then, the person who was most responsible was my father himself!
Do I still need to hide?"
Mei Changsu was relieved to see that Prince Jing could still think so much, and he quickly persuaded him, "Prince Jing is concerned about the safety of the Red Flame soldiers, and this is known to the world, but your majesty is not very broad-minded. Your Highness was lucky to escape this time.
If His Highness takes any further action, he will definitely feel that his authority is challenged. In this case, the fate of His Highness Prince Qi will be His Highness' future!"
Lie Zhanying listened to the two people arguing for a long time, but still did not mention the main business. Nie Yi only had ten days to live. He didn't want to argue endlessly about unimportant things, so he simply interrupted and asked, "Mr. Su has said so much, what should we do?"
Mei Changsu gritted his teeth, looked at Prince Jing very seriously and said, "From the perspective of gains and losses, saving Nie Yi will do more harm than good. Your Highness, those who plan for great things need to know how to make sacrifices."
Lie Zhanying looked at Mei Changsu in disbelief, and said agitatedly, "Sir, do you mean you won't save him?"
Prince Jing also understood what Mei Changsu meant. He was very disappointed and said coldly, "Okay, I have said everything I need to say. Very good!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to the door of the secret room, cut off the doorbell between the two people, and then said in a cold voice, "People with different beliefs cannot work together. Since Mr. Su doesn't want you to help, Master Mei can't worry about Xiao Jingyan's affairs in the future."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the secret room without looking back, and ignored Mei Changsu's knocks on the door.
……
Yue State, Jiangning, Yue Military Port!
Wang Yue received a secret report from Nanjing that the Emperor of Daliang was preparing to behead Nie Yi and had even begun mobilizing troops to prepare for a battle with the Kingdom of Yue.
He knew very well that Nie Yi was one reason, but the more important reason was that Daliang actually also wanted to see the land combat capabilities of Yue State.
If Yue's navy was strong only, there would be no need to be afraid of it. However, if Yue's army was also that strong, then we would have to be careful in dealing with it.
Of course, there is another important point. The Red Flame Army is a thorn in Emperor Liang's heart. Because of the Kingdom of Yue, this thorn has become a wound as big as a bowl.
As long as this wound is not treated, Emperor Liang will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies.
Wang Yue also needs to use this battle to verify the true strength of Yue State and whether it can already compete for the world.
