Chapter 153 The Prince's Death (Second Change)
Although the ghost plan took a long time to lay out, it was not that complicated. It can be summed up in four words: replace it.

Half a year ago, Ye Cao arranged for the spies to lurk in the mansions of the six capable ministers such as Shen Zhui, completely controlling their every word and deed, just to replace them today.

They are all talents from the training camp, and they are proficient in the art of disguise.

Unknowingly killed all the ministers, then put on human skin masks, put on their clothes, slept with their beloved wives and concubines, and finally became them.

When the Empress Dowager dies, there will be a national funeral, and all the senior officials of the six ministries need to go to the Empress Dowager to observe the funeral for more than ten days.

For agents, this is a once-in-a-lifetime adaptation period, so Ye Cao ordered the ghost plan to be launched immediately.

So this night the Empress Dowager was not alone, she was accompanied by so many Lord Shangshu on the road.They are all ministers, presumably they will take good care of the Empress Dowager in the underworld.

So on the next day, most of the six officials who knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's coffin had become members of the Four Leaves Department, and the court instantly became the headquarters of the Four Leaves Department.

"My lord, the princess has rushed to Jinling, do you need to stop him?" Yiye asked Yecao.

She knew that Ye Cao had always acted without telling Nihuang, and Nihuang's entry into Beijing at this time might affect his plan.

"Let her go, she is grandma after all. Nihuang is a child who values ​​feelings." Ye Cao waved her hand.

Nihuang's mother is a younger sister of Emperor Liang, that is, a princess, so in terms of seniority, Nihuang has to call the Empress Dowager "Grandma". (Father's grandma is called Tai Nai Nai, and Mom's grandma is called Tai Grandma)
Nihuang lost her mother since she was young, and since the death of Prince Mu, she has paid more attention to family affection. Although this great-grandmother is far away, she is also deeply grieved.

During the national mourning period, Emperor Liang issued a decree:
First, amnesty for the whole world, those sentenced to death will be exiled, and those sentenced to exile will be returned home.

Xie Yu was also really lucky, the situation where there were ten deaths and no life came back to life, and he was exiled instead.

Before leaving Beijing, he wrote down what Xia Jiang had done to the Chiyan Army in a book and handed it to the eldest princess for safekeeping. If one day he died, he would publish it.

In this way, not only will Xia Jiang not attack him, but he will even send someone to protect him.

In the capital city, even if Xia Jiang is the head of the Xuanjing Division, it is impossible for him to attack the eldest princess.

Second, the sound of silk and bamboo and singing and dancing were banned throughout the country, causing the whole country to mourn.

This also means that Miaoyinfang, Hongxiuzhao, and Yangliuxin will all have to close their doors.

After the vigil ended, Ye Cao officially met Nihuang. Her eyes were red, and she must have cried a lot during this time.

"Nihuang greets uncle." Nihuang paid respects to Yecao.

"Get up, get up, you child." Ye Cao quickly helped Nihuang up, this iron-blooded female general seemed really sad.

"Uncle, I want to guard the Mausoleum for the Empress Dowager for half a year." The Weiling Mausoleum mentioned by Nihuang is to lead troops to guard the tomb of the Empress Dowager, and will stay in the capital for the six months.

When Mu Qing heard this, she was busy in a place where Nihuang could not see, trying to wink at Ye Cao.

If my elder sister stays in the capital, a lot of schemes will be exposed, and when the elder sister gets into trouble, Mu Qing said that she can't stand it.

"No," Ye Cao shook his head and said, "Although you are out of filial piety, Weiling is almost equivalent to exile. As the owner of Yunnan County, you must not go."

"But I..." Nihuang still wanted to refute.

"This matter has been decided, there is no need to talk about it." Ye Cao was very domineering, and did not give Nihuang a chance to speak at all.

"Nihuang obeys." She trusted Yecao Nihuang 100%, so she obeyed.

After Nihuang left Ye Zhai, Ye Cao immediately ordered Yiye to send a letter to King Ling, asking him to send troops to harass the border of Yunnan, so that Nihuang could return to Yunnan. (News came back not long ago from Clover that King Ling and King Sheng succeeded in killing Lin Chen)
"What is the prince doing recently?" Ye Cao asked Yi Ye.

Yiye replied: "Addicted to wine and sex, drunk to life and dream to death."

"Then let him die. Send a letter to the people in the palace to inform Emperor Liang of this matter." Ye Cao waved her hand, announcing the prince's end.

This prince has no possibility of making a comeback, and is completely useless to Ye Cao, so he should also withdraw from the stage of history.

Thinking about it, Emperor Liang was also looking for an opportunity to abolish the prince, and now he just sent him an excuse.

In Guijia Palace, there is the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing.

Originally, Emperor Liang didn't believe that his son would have such a lack of a city mansion. It was expressly stipulated that entertainment was not allowed during the national mourning period, but he did not expect that the dignified prince would take the lead in violating it.

"Okay! Okay!" Emperor Liang was so angry that his lungs exploded outside the door, and he kicked the door open.

"Presumptuous!" The prince hugged left and right, his face was like a peach blossom drunk.

"You are presumptuous!" Emperor Liang burst into anger, never had he been yelled at like this before.

"Father!" The crown prince was so excited that he sobered up immediately, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Father, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"You bastard!" Emperor Liang kicked the prince to the ground, and angrily said, "During the national funeral, how dare you act so recklessly! Did grandma treat you badly? Why don't you even have the slightest bit of filial piety!"

"Hi—" the prince hiccupped, and the strength of the wine rose, and he said something he would never have dared to say when he was sober.

"Hehehe, filial piety? A father's kindness is a son's filial piety. Father, do you have half of a father's love for me? After you enshrine me as the crown prince, you will immediately support King Yu to fight against me."

"You think I'm willing to do those things? I'm the crown prince, Prince of Liang! If I wasn't forced by you, how would I be able to run a private cannon workshop?"

"I also want to serve the country and the people, and I also want to achieve great success and inherit the throne smoothly. But father, have you ever given me a chance?"

"Not only did you not give me a chance, but you also made a king of honor to remind me that if I don't form a party, if I don't rule out dissidents, I may die without a place to die in the future."

"Don't look at me like that! Say that my virtue is not good, but yours is better? Don't think I don't know, you snatched your throne."

"Hic—" the prince let out a comfortable belch.

He has kept these words in his heart for a long time, and it feels so comfortable to say them today.

"Rebel!"

Excited, trembling hands, Emperor Liang was in a bad mood, he pulled out the saber from Meng Zhi's waist, and slashed at the crown prince.

"what!"

With a scream, the dignified prince was killed by the enraged Emperor Liang.

"Your Majesty!" Meng Zhi, Gao Zhan and others were all terrified and prostrate on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

"Ah! My son! My son!" Seeing the prince dying on the ground, with blood continuously flowing out, Emperor Liang sat paralyzed on the ground, crying loudly.

He regretted it, it was his own son after all.

I don't know how long he cried, Emperor Liang stood up, regained his imperial majesty, and said to Meng Zhi: "The crown prince died suddenly, and he will be mourned according to the regulations. All the attendants in Guijia Palace were not well served, so they were all buried with him."

"I obey the order." Meng Zhi accepted the order.

"Gao Zhan, let's go back." Emperor Liang left with the support of Gao Zhan's father-in-law.

Tears are Emperor Liang's greatest sympathy for the prince, but he will not admit his fault.

The Son of Heaven is right.

What's more, it wasn't the first time he had killed his son, that one was even better.

"Son! Son!" Concubine Yue went crazy after hearing the bad news, and Emperor Liang took advantage of the situation to throw her into the cold palace, and conferred the title of Concubine Jing as a noble concubine.Meanwhile the confinement of the eminent empress.
