The world of film and television begins from childhood

Yan Yujin thought much more than Xiao Jingrui. After knowing the true identities of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, he was also shocked, but at the same time he thought of more, especially what happened in the capital in the past two years.

He suddenly understood a lot. Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen came to the capital for their own purpose, which was to resolve the Chiyan injustice case.

It took a long time for Xiao Jingrui to recover from his loss of consciousness and panic, but his eyes became red and his spirit became very bad.

"Brother Yu, no, Brother Zhou Chen, can you tell me what happened back then? Why did the loyal Red Flame Army and the respected King Qi suddenly become like that..."

Zhou Chen said: "Jing Rui, you don't need to ask me. Do you remember the handwritten letter Xie Yu left for your mother before he was exiled? Go back and ask your mother for it. When you see the handwritten letter, you will understand everything."

"Brother Zhou Chen..."

"Go, Jingrui. I told you this today for no other purpose than to tell you that Xiaoshu was really miserable and he was really good to you. I didn't want to hurt you at the beginning, but I had no choice. You may not understand it now, but you will understand after reading the letter."

"Go back, Jingrui."

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin left Zhou Chen's mansion, but they did not separate immediately. The main reason was that Xiao Jingrui's mental state was very bad, and Yan Yujin was worried about him, so she prepared to send him back personally.

Xiao Jingrui had just returned to the Princess's Mansion and before he had time to look for his mother, his sister Xie Qi came running over.

"Brother, where have you been? Mother was assassinated when she went out today. Go and check it out."

"what?"

Xiao Jingrui was startled and rushed to his mother's room without caring about anything else.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother, Princess Li Yang, was safe and sound.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Princess Li Yang shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Xiao Jingrui frowned and said, "Mother, you have always lived in seclusion, how could you be assassinated?"

Princess Li Yang was also confused: "I don't know what's going on. Who would send someone to assassinate someone like me who is insignificant and doesn't care about worldly affairs?"

Xiao Jingrui suddenly had an idea in his mind, and asked anxiously: "Mother, could it be because of the handwritten letter that Xie Hou left for you?"

"Handwriting?"

Princess Li Yang thought about it and said, "Are you saying that I was assassinated because of that handwritten letter?"

"Mother, have you read the handwritten letter?"

"No, he said at the beginning that this handwritten letter could save his life. As long as nothing happened to him, he asked me to protect this handwritten letter and not let anyone see it."

Xiao Jingrui's eyes flickered, and he said anxiously, "Now that Marquis Xie is in trouble in Qianzhou, perhaps the assassin came just for this surgery. Mother, after we read this handwritten letter, we should know the assassin's purpose and how to deal with it."

"Would you like to see it now?"

"Ah."

Princess Li Yang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, let's watch it together."

Xiao Jingrui did not object, so Princess Li Yang opened the brocade bag, took out the handwritten letter inside, and the mother and son read it together.

After watching it, both mother and son were silent.

Xiao Jingrui was mentally prepared, and although he was shocked, he was able to remain calm.

Princess Li Yang had experienced too many things, and although the contents of the letter were shocking, she was not too panicked.

"That's it, that's it."

Xiao Jingrui finally understood what Zhou Chen meant.

If Zhou Chen told the truth, he would have some doubts, but this letter was written by Xie Yu himself, it couldn't be more true.

Being a man of integrity, his first thought after learning the truth was to report it and clear the Red Flame Army of their grievances.

But Princess Li Yang tried her best to stop him from going.

…………

As soon as Yan Yujin returned home, he saw his father waiting for him.

"Why are you back so late?"

"Father."

Yan Que raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yu Jin, what happened? I can feel that something is wrong with you."

Yan Yujin opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. What Zhou Chen said to him and Xiao Jingrui today was too shocking, and Zhou Chen let him sit in because he trusted him. He didn't know whether he should tell his father.

Yan Que also noticed his son's dilemma, so he didn't urge him and just waited quietly.

After a moment, Yan Yujin couldn't help but ask, "Dad, if, I mean if, if I encountered a very, very serious injustice, and you knew some of the truth, but if you tell others, it might bring great danger to yourself, do you think I should do nothing, or should I do something?"

Yan Que's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up all of a sudden from his sitting upright posture.

"Yujin, the prince is looking for you?"

Yan Yujin was confused: "Crown Prince? Why is His Royal Highness looking for me?"

Yan Que was also surprised: "It's not the prince who is looking for you? Aren't you talking about the Chiyan case and the Qi Wang case from more than ten years ago?"

"what?"

Yan Yujin was shocked: "Dad, you also know that Brother Lin Shu and the others are still alive?"

Yan Que's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say? Lin Shu is still alive?"

Yan Yujin quickly covered his mouth. He realized that he had said the wrong thing. It was no wonder, mainly because his father and brother talked about the Chiyan case and the Qi Wang case. His first reaction was that his father already knew about this.

Yan Que did not give him a chance to remain silent and pressed on: "Yu Jin, tell me what is going on? You said Xiao Shu is still alive, where did you hear that?"

"Since I've already said it, let's just finish it."

Yan Yujin gritted his teeth and decided to speak out. The most important thing was that he had absolute trust in his father.

"Dad, Jing Rui and I went to Brother Yu's mansion today. I heard about this from Brother Yu. He said that his name and Brother Su's name are aliases, and they have other identities."

"Brother Su is Mei Changsu, he is actually Brother Lin Shu, and Brother Yu is actually Brother Zhou Chen."

"what?"

Yan Que could no longer maintain his Taoism, his whole body was shaken, and his brain started working instantly.

After a long time, he sighed quietly: "No wonder, no wonder, I was wondering how he knew so much about Prince Qi's affairs, no wonder he supported Prince Jing, if he was Xiao Shu, then all this would be normal."

"Mei Changsu is Xiao Shu, and Gongzi Yu is Xiao Chen. So that's how it is. So that's how it is."

Although it was a little hard to believe, Yan Que still believed it. In this way, many things that he couldn't understand before could now be figured out.

"Dad, do you really believe it?" Yan Yujin felt that his father's reaction was too strange.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"No, I just think this is too weird. Although I was still young, I have seen Brother Lin Shu and Brother Zhou Chen, and I can vaguely remember their appearances. But Brother Su and Brother Yu look obviously different from them. Are they really the same person?"

In fact, he believed it in his heart, but it was so abnormal that he still had some doubts.

Yan Que said faintly: "The truth is sometimes hard to believe, but everything has its cause and effect. They have become different from the past, perhaps because of this incident."

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Okay, these things are not something you can participate in, so don't think too much about it. Since Xiao Shu and Xiao Chen are still alive, then as an elder, I can't just stand by and watch."

When Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan found him, he agreed without hesitation. Now that he knew that Lin Shu and Zhou Chen were still alive, he became more determined in his choice.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, go back and rest."

…………

The next day, Xiao Jingrui brought his mother, Princess Li Yang, to find Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan, and happened to see Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu discussing something.

Seeing Mei Changsu again, Xiao Jingrui was very excited, but he forced himself to control his emotions and told his mother the purpose of his visit.

When Princess Li Yang took out Xie Yu's handwritten letter, Xiao Jingyan was not surprised at all, because Mei Changsu had already informed him in advance.

But when he said that he wanted Princess Li Yang to report first and Princess Li Yang agreed without hesitation, he was dumbfounded.

Because he had discussed with Mei Changsu before that it would not be easy to persuade Aunt Li Yang, so he found Lord Yan in advance and greeted him in advance.

But he didn't expect that Aunt Li Yang agreed as soon as he said it, so much so that he almost couldn't hold it back.

Mei Changsu was not surprised, because when he saw the look in Xiao Jingrui's eyes, he knew that Zhou Chen had already told Xiao Jingrui.

After knowing the truth and his true identity, Xiao Jingrui would definitely persuade Princess Li Yang. Princess Li Yang loved Xiao Jingrui the most, so it was natural for her to agree to this matter.

Xiao Jingyan discussed with Princess Li Yang how to act on Emperor Liang's birthday, while Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingrui went to the yard to talk.

"Jing Rui..."

"Su, Brother Lin Shu."

Xiao Jingrui originally wanted to call him Brother Su, but he quickly changed his words.

Mei Changsu smiled slightly and said, "Don't be nervous, Jingrui. It seems that Xiaochen has already told you everything. But you should still call me Brother Su. After all, my real identity is quite special."

Xiao Jingrui nodded vigorously: "I know, I will only call you Brother Lin Shu when no one is around."

"Brother Lin Shu, I'm sorry."

Mei Changsu smiled gently and said, "Don't say sorry, Jingrui, you are not sorry to me, on the contrary, I am sorry to you. You are a good child, and I took advantage of you."

"No, Brother Lin Shu, I don't blame you. If it were me, I would probably do something even more extreme."

Ever since he learned about Mei Changsu's identity and the truth behind the Chi Yan case, he couldn't sleep last night and thought a lot.

He put himself in Mei Changsu's position and felt that if he were Mei Changsu, he would probably become even more extreme.

Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "No, Jingrui, you are different. Even if it were you, you would not change, because you are a kind and gentle person in your bones."

"Brother Lin Shu."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. The princess must have agreed to this because of your persuasion."

Xiao Jingrui said: "Not entirely. My mother already felt guilty about what happened back then, but she thought too much, so she didn't do anything."

Mei Changsu smiled slightly and said nothing. Although he had some opinions about Princess Li Yang, since Princess Li Yang agreed today, he would no longer mind the past.

Chapter 870 The birthday banquet begins, the drama begins

The ninth year of peace in Daliang!

This year marks the 38th year of the reign of the current Daliang Emperor Xiao Xuan. His reign is also the longest among all the emperors since the founding of Daliang.

During the first twenty years of Xiao Xuan's reign, he worked hard to govern the country, the government was clean and honest, the country was prosperous, and Daliang became the strongest among all the countries.

But over the next decade or so, especially after the Chiyan case and the Qi Wang case, the political situation in Daliang began to slowly weaken.

Fortunately, Daliang has a solid foundation. Although it no longer has the Red Flame Army, it still has elite troops from all over the country, so the impact on Daliang is not fatal.

The Chiyan case was just the beginning. Since then, Xiao Xuan seemed like a different person, suspicious and moody.

Especially after Xiao Jingxuan was made the crown prince, he was afraid that a situation similar to that of Prince Qi might occur, so he supported Prince Yu and let the two of them start fighting each other, while he sat back and watched.

In fact, from his own perspective, there is nothing wrong with his approach. Such checks and balances allow his authority to always be at its greatest.

It is a good thing for him, but it is not a good thing for the court and the country.

The dispute between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu caused the ministers in the court to take sides and fight against each other. This trend directly affected many court officials.

Over the years, many court officials have not been thinking about how to serve the country and the people, but rather how to fight for power and how to defeat political enemies.

How could Daliang become strong under such internal strife? Instead, it became weaker and weaker in the internal friction.

Although the capital city remained as prosperous as before, many places outside the capital were filled with complaints and chaos.

Mei Changsu came to the capital, disrupted the entire court, and got rid of many selfish ministers, but in fact not much changed. After all, the current chaotic court situation cannot be solved by simply replacing a few ministers.

Mei Changsu was also aware of this, so he placed all his hopes on Xiao Jingyan. The Xiao Dynasty had been corrupt for more than ten years, and it would take Xiao Jingyan several years, or even more than a dozen years, to restore it to its former glory.

The palace!

Tomorrow is her birthday. Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang has been in a very good mood recently. He would come to Zhiluo Palace to find Concubine Jing whenever he had time.

He is no longer young, and can even be said to be old. He is no longer able to be with young concubines. Now when he enters the harem, he mostly comes to Zhiluo Palace and asks Concubine Jing to give him a massage to nourish his body.

In today's harem, although the queen is still there, she has been living in seclusion and rarely appears in public. In the harem, it is basically Concubine Jing who has the final say.

Concubine Jing gently massaged Emperor Liang's temples, while Emperor Liang lay comfortably and enjoyed it.
