The wind is blowing

Meng Zhi's courier stood at the gate of the courtyard in a dusty manner. When he saw Xiao Jingyan, he turned over and knelt down, and raised the letter tube above his head with both hands.

Xiao Jingyan took the letterbox, roughly checked the seal, and said directly:

"Come in with me."

"Yes!"

As soon as he heard the news that the emperor had come, even though he was sleepy, Emperor Liang immediately got up and received Xiao Jingyan on the couch in his coat.

Emperor Liang read the letter carefully, and the wrinkles on his face slowly unfolded, and he said with satisfaction:

"Meng Qing moved extremely fast. The remaining guards have all been brought under his control. The palace defenses have also been rearranged, waiting for me to return to Beijing at any time... Huh?"

"what happened?"

Seeing that Emperor Liang hesitated suddenly, Xiao Jingyan asked.

"Xia Jiang escaped from prison."

Xiao Jingyan's brows twitched, he had clearly instructed Cai Quan, how could this old bastard escape?

"how can that be?"

"He took advantage of Mengqing's prestige to escape before entering the capital."

Emperor Liang's expression suddenly turned grim, and he said sharply:

"This thief has not only failed the emperor's favor, but is even more difficult for me to forgive than Yu Wang. Immediately send a document of arrest at sea. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. He must be caught by me!"

"Yes."

After Xiao Jingyan kowtowed and withdrew, Emperor Liang leaned on the head of the bed and pondered for a while, and said:

"Call for King Ji."

Gao Zhan hurriedly went out to summon him. Since this place was no better than the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Capital, King Ji rushed in before he had time, and saluted in front of the couch.

"Sit down, I have something to discuss with you."

Emperor Liang pointed to the low chair beside him, and said to him:

"This rebellion was initiated by King Yu, you know that?"

"Your brother knows. Xu Anmo has already taken the initiative to recruit, besides, besides King Yu, all the other princes are here with him, and Queen Jingli... has always favored King Yu..."

"Jing Huan has already chilled me. In vain, I had hoped for him, but what about him? He has no means, no will, and he does things in a mess. Now he is treasonous. I really can't bear it any longer. .”

Thinking of Prince Yu who had become crazy now, Emperor Liang was heartbroken and rubbed his forehead with his fingers, looking very uncomfortable.

"But in the final analysis, he is my son after all. After thinking about it, my heart still hurts..."

King Ji hastily persuaded: "Brother Huang, the matter has come to this, the most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body..."

"Let's not talk about this."

Emperor Liang sat up and looked at his younger brother.

"Now that the Crown Prince has been abolished, and King Yu is unforgivable, who do you think will be the heir apparent in the future?"

King Ji was frightened out of his wits, prostrated himself and said:

"This is an arbitrary matter of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, and I dare not say anything."

"Ask at home, is it worth your nervousness? What do you think of Jingyan?"

Emperor Liang smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up. King Ji thought about it, and slowly replied:

"Prince Jing is benevolent, filial, virtuous, sincere, loyal and brave, and can be...a role model for all princes..."

Emperor Liang looked out of the window with deep eyes, and after a long time, he seemed to let out a sigh from the depths of his chest.

"Actually, Jingyan is not my best son...don't you think?"

King Ji was trembling, he didn't even dare to show his anger, he knew who Emperor Liang was talking about.

"But Jingyan has Jingyan's advantages. He knows how to restrain himself. This is different from... Jingyu. Maybe it has something to do with his mother's temperament."

Emperor Liang didn't seem to intend to really say anything to King Ji, and kept his eyes on the original point.

"For this rescue, when Jingyan arrived, the forbidden army was almost powerless, and the Hunting Palace was actually under his control, but he returned the soldier amulet without saying a word, which surprised me at the time. ..."

"Accident?"

"I thought he would always mention something, or at least hint something."

King Ji forced a smile and understood:

"Prince Jing doesn't seem to be someone with that temperament."

Emperor Liang moved closer to King Ji, lowered his voice and said:

"Tell me, does he have any ideas about the East Palace position?"

Ji Wang was slightly startled and smiled awkwardly.

"It's not just King Jing. As long as you are a prince, if you say that anyone has no idea about the East Palace position, it must be a fake place."

"Oh?" Emperor Liang glanced over, "You are also a prince. What do you think?"

Ji Wang's smile this time was very relaxed.

"The younger brother is not the prince, the younger brother is the younger brother of the emperor, that's different."

Emperor Liang laughed, patted his younger brother on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile:

"You, you were born a bit late. But thanks to you, I have someone to discuss with."

As he talked, Emperor Liang had already made up his mind, and he just waited to implement it after returning to the palace.

The return trip from the spring hunting, which was originally scheduled for April [-], was postponed to late April due to the chaos of the Qingli army.Mei Changsu originally wanted to return to Jinling around the scheduled end time of the spring hunt, but when they heard the news of Prince Yu's rebellion, they had already gone halfway.

Mr. Thirteen's letter also attached the news of Xia Jiang's escape from prison. After Mei Changsu learned about it, he asked Zhen Ping and Li Gang to speed up their journey.So when Xiao Jingyan returned to the city with the guard of honor, Mei Changsu and his party had already returned to Jinling for a few days.With such a major event as King Yu's rebellion ahead, the return of Qilin talent Jiang Zuo Meilang to Jinling has become a trivial matter that does not attract attention.

Waiting for the emperor to return to Luan outside the imperial capital is the civil and military officials headed by the left-behind Zhongshu Ling.Meng Zhi immediately took over the defense around Emperor Liang, and all Jicheng troops withdrew from the capital, camped in the outskirts, and returned to their original camps after receiving rewards.At this point, Emperor Liang finally calmed down, and began to prepare to launch the storm he had been brewing all the way.

On that day, King Yu lived in the cell of "Hanzihao", all the people in the mansion went to the upper and lower gates, and those who were demoted were demoted. In just one day, the whole Yuwang Mansion was depressed and weak.

Judging from the Yan clan's contribution to Daliang over the years, although the queen was not abolished, the punishment of confinement could not escape.All affairs in the harem were handed over to Concubine Jing for management, and anyone with a wink would know that the harem was actually a different owner.

This accident inevitably caused many old ministers to dig up the old case that had been dusty for 14 years from the depths of their memories.In contrast, they could only secretly sigh that with the passage of time, the wrists of the ruthless and ruthless emperor had softened a lot.

Unlike those royal relatives who immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the city, Xiao Jingyan went straight to the tunnel to find Mei Changsu after returning to Prince Jing's mansion non-stop, not even having time to change his dusty clothes. .So much so that when Mei Changsu saw him like this, he thought something serious had happened.

"Jingyan, why come here in such a hurry?"

"Xiao Shu, is there any news about Xia Jiang?"

Well, Xia Jiang's matter is indeed very important.Turning his body sideways to let someone come out of the secret room, Mei Changsu answered him unhurriedly:

"There is no specific news yet. I have asked them to hurry up and look for it. The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that he must still be in the capital now."

Xiao Jingyan walked into the room, but did not sit down as usual.Hearing what Mei Changsu said, he stared blankly at the distance for a moment, and immediately said firmly:

"We must find him quickly!"

"Jingyan, what are you worried about?"

Pulling the clenched hand, Mei Changsu pushed the man down and sat down himself, staring straight into his eyes.

"Xia Jiang is completely useless now, and it will be a matter of time before someone is caught out. Why are you in such a hurry? Or, what will Xia Jiang do next?"

Mei Changsu's last sentence contained a lot of meaning, and Xiao Jingyan also understood what he was referring to.Long before he made a plan to save Wei Zheng, he knew that Mei Changsu would ask sooner or later.However, now is not the time to answer.

"It seems that Brother Meng has already told you everything. I don't know what Xia Jiang will do next, but as long as he is still fleeing for a day, I can't be completely at ease."

"Okay, I see, I will find him as soon as possible."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Mei Changsu felt a little disappointed.Does Jingyan intend to tell him?

I don't know if it was because his tone was too listless, but Xiao Jingyan glanced at him and seemed to understand suddenly.Unlike the loss of the other party, he was a little happy in his heart, and the corner of his mouth hooked:

"Give me another two months. After two months, I will tell you everything, and I promise to tell you everything."

"Then I will reluctantly listen to His Highness Prince Jing's explanation."

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
