Sure enough, at the beginning Fei Liu was very interested in the strangely shaped scimitar, so he let go of a few moves. After seeing it clearly later, his palm style suddenly became fierce. The divine power couldn't be resisted at all, he retreated a few steps, pulled the knife behind his back, the sharp back of the knife was suddenly shaken, and a knife flew out, hitting the knife like a shooting star, and flew straight towards Feiliu's face door unexpectedly and go.
This move is Qi Meng's trump card, and he has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, which helped him make a lot of achievements in battle.But for Fei Liu, this level of attack was not enough to surprise him at all. With a flick of his hand, he blocked the throwing knife and nailed it to a tree.
Qi Meng frowned, and shouted "Come out!" With a flick of the back of the knife, another ray of light flashed.
Mei Changsu's face remained unchanged, but Hei Chen's pupils shrank sharply in an instant.Because this time, the throwing knife came straight at his throat.
If it was Lin Shu in the past, such a throwing knife would naturally not be taken seriously, but now that his whole body strength has been crippled, even an ordinary strong man can't beat it, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid this snow-like blade.Since he couldn't hide, why did he need to hide, so Mei Changsu stood where he was, not moving a muscle.
Fei Liu's figure had also turned into a knife at this time, and he chased after him, but after all, he started too late, a step slower.
The hilt of the flying knife was caught in King Jing's hands at last, the national teacher narrowed his eyes slightly, the blade was shattered, scattered in all directions, and shot straight into the surrounding wooden posts, penetrating three points.
Everyone was shocked and knelt down in fear.
Mei Changsu lightly gestured to Fei Liu. No one could understand what it meant, but Fei Liu stopped all movements and stood still quietly.
Although Qi Meng has no malicious intentions, although his target is definitely not Prince Jing.But after all, he pointed the sharp blade in the direction of his lord.
If King Jing has been sticking to the status quo, and if his future ends in being just a general king, then this scene can be laughed off.But that is no longer the case.
When his ambitions and aspirations point to the most supreme throne in Daliang, he must consciously cultivate the temperament that belongs to the monarch, a temperament that will never allow to be ignored or offended in any way.
Looking at Prince Jing's gloomy, monolithic face, Qi Meng, who was still smiling before, felt more and more wrong. He was getting flustered, and he involuntarily turned his gaze to his left front.
All the high-ranking generals under Prince Jing were kneeling there, everyone looked a little nervous, and one of them secretly gestured for Qi Meng to kneel down.
"It's the last general who was reckless. Your lord, the national teacher, forgive me and apologize to you. Please remember me as a scumbag. Don't take offense." Qi Meng thought for a while, thinking that King Jing was angry because of the presence of the lord national teacher, coupled with his love. Respecting Su Zhe, annoyed that he was rude to them, so he immediately followed suit and bowed to the national teacher and Mei Changsu.
"You don't need to apologize to me, anyway, it's His Royal Highness Prince Jing who is ashamed, not me." Mu Yanshan said at the end, her sharp ending voice suddenly turned sharp, with a hint of sarcasm, as if she still had a rush of vigor, " A group of mobsters who don't know the rules of the king, no wonder His Majesty is so blue-eyed. Throwing knives in the direction of this seat and His Highness Prince Jing is really good manners. I can imagine your majesty's majesty among your subordinates, this seat is really eye-opening today gone."
Then he glanced at Xiao Jingyan, who was looking worried, and left without raising his head, shaking his sleeves, and shouted in a cold voice: "Mu Xuan, come and assist His Highness in the investigation, and help His Highness King Jing to see who should be kept and what should be punished!"
"Yes."
As soon as the national teacher's words fell, Qi Meng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he knelt down with a plop.
Prince Jing looked at him coldly, without saying a word, his face sank like water, all the people present were silent, they followed the footsteps of the national teacher and knelt down in fear one after another, even Ting Sheng who didn't quite understand was caught by this The atmosphere was frightened, and he knelt down quietly.
After the national teacher left, when Mei Changsu sighed and led Fei Liu straight out of the mansion, no one dared to stop them from defending.
Because everyone realized that although the national teacher's words were ugly, there was not a single word wrong.Although it is customary to compare skills in martial arts and test outsiders, there should be a big difference between the presence of King Jing and the absence of King Jing, especially the presence of the National Teacher who is in the political center, and their actions represent Jing. King's face.
"Your Highness," Lie Zhanying, the highest-ranking general in Prince Jing's mansion, said in a low voice, "Your subordinates are aware of their mistakes. Your Highness, please appease your anger. Your subordinates are willing to accept the punishment."
Qi Meng slammed his head down and said in a trembling voice, "Please punish me, Your Highness."
Prince Jing's eyes glanced coldly around, seeing that everyone lowered their heads to avoid his gaze, and then turned back to Qi Meng.
The national teacher used the sharpest words to leave him with a big topic - tidying up the interior.Because once he chooses the path of supremacy, there will be many more things that will change than he imagined. While obtaining other capital through the land invasion case, he must find a way to forge the top and bottom of Prince Jing's mansion. into a solid iron plate.
For the first time, Prince Jing felt the weight on his shoulders, but his waist became straighter because of it.
"Qi Meng was rude and disrespectful. He committed a crime of arrogance. He was severely beaten with two hundred army sticks and demoted to be a centurion. Zhanying, you will be imprisoned."
After saying only this sentence, Prince Jing turned around and strode away, leaving a large group of bewildered subordinates on the school field.
……
After the winter solstice, the New Year is approaching.It was supposed to be a joyful time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but the atmosphere in the capital became tense because of a case of land invasion.
Nearly ten days after the start of the trial of the land invasion case, the case has not yet been concluded, and rumors have been heard in various places.Cases of a similar nature flew to the capital from all directions, and wealthy families who had merged behaviors also began to quietly compensate farmers and farmers for returning their land, and some incidents of coercion and silence occurred from time to time.
When dealing with these secondary incidents, King Jing showed his unknown behavior style, calm but decisive, persistent and flexible, and he cooperated happily with the co-trial officials.
A major case that might have caused chaos was handled very cleanly by Prince Jing because of the emperor's support, Prince Yu's cooperation, and his helpers were capable, winning praise from everyone.In less than a month, the case was basically concluded. Qing Guogong and his relatives and friends were 17 principal offenders.
After the paper was sealed, King Jing brought his fellow interrogators into the palace to meet him and reply.
In addition to the "land invasion case", two other cases that have attracted much attention from the ruling and opposition parties have also made progress.
The two cases were reported by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion almost on the same day, but the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that accepted the cases adopted completely different methods of handling them.
With the strongest team in the dry well hidden corpse case, a series of procedures such as investigation, evidence collection, interrogation, trial, reporting and approval were quickly completed. Although Lou Jingzhi refused to admit to death, but the evidence of the crime was convincing, he has been suspended from his post and put in prison, waiting for the emperor Zhu Bi, this once-famous Minister of the Household Department will become a thing of the past.
He Wenxin's murder case, the facts of the case are clear, He Jingzhong wanted to keep this son-in-law, he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and was about to be sent out of the capital, but Uncle Wen Yuan caught him and turned him over to the emperor.King Yu had no choice but to abandon He Jingzhong, and He Wenxin was also detained in the Ministry of Punishment, which made He Jingzhong seriously ill.
At the same time, the most important thing for the royal family at the end of the year is to sacrifice.
Worship ancestors, heaven, earth, and gods.
For the imperial court and the royal family, whether the regulation of the sacrificial ceremony is correct or not is a major issue related to the success of the coming year, and it cannot be sloppy at all.
Xie Yu was keenly aware that a very favorable opportunity had arrived for the prince.According to Liang Li, the inner palace below the concubine is not allowed to accompany the sacrifice, but must kneel and serve on the periphery.However, according to Liang Li, after the prince set up a sacrifice and sprinkled wine, he had to touch his parents' dresses to the ground to show respect and filial piety.Herein lies the contradiction.The Yue family has been deposed and reduced to a concubine, but she is also the birth mother of the prince. On the one hand, her status is extremely low, on the other hand, her status is extremely noble, which makes it very difficult for the Ministry of Rites to arrange the sacrificial ceremony.
Xie Yu secretly suggested to the crown prince to use this opportunity to enter the palace and cry out to the emperor for remorse, and to ask for the return of his mother and concubine. Stay overnight with the emperor, and slowly restore the old love of the Sacred Heart.
When the prince got this idea, he was overjoyed immediately, made careful preparations, went into the palace and lay down in front of Emperor Liang's knees, mourning and weeping for a full hour, trying his best to show his benevolence and filial piety.Emperor Liang was a little embarrassed.
The Yue family was originally his most beloved harem, and he didn't want to take this opportunity to forgive him.But the Yue family has only been deposed for a mere few months, if they were exonerated so easily, Princess Nihuang might be disappointed.
Although the Ministry of Rituals had no objection, and even strongly agreed with it, Emperor Liang was somewhat hesitant. After all, the matter of etiquette was still in the hands of the National Teacher's Office.Just at this time, Xie Yu entered the palace to see him on the grounds that he had reported on military supplies in the Northwest.Emperor Liang didn't know about Xie Yu's relationship with the crown prince at this time, and thinking that he was also a member of the military, he ordered someone to call him in and ask his opinion on whether the Yue clan should be restored.After getting the opinion, he felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered to restore the birth mother status of the prince, and Gao Zhan was sent by the National Teacher's Office to explain it.
As soon as this matter happened, King Yu was the first to be impatient.In fact, in recent years, the battle between the crown prince and Yuwang has reached a stalemate because of the equal strength of the two sides. On the whole, it has been very quiet, and neither side has made any major moves.
Unexpectedly, all of this was nothing more than an afterthought. It only needed a small touch to immediately enter a climactic offensive and defensive battle.Concubine Yue was demoted, Lou Zhijing fell from power, Duke Qing ransacked his home, He Wenxin was sentenced to beheaded... This wave after wave made people overwhelmed.
Now that Concubine Yue has just been restored, there are several censors in charge, pointing out that the Ministry of Rituals presided over the sacrificial ceremony inappropriately, and it is even more disrespectful to bypass the national teacher to implement the ritual system.King Yu took advantage of the situation and invited more than a dozen respected contemporary Confucians to initiate a court debate. The topic was directed at the extraordinary treatment the concubine Yue had received over the years and the prince's lack of etiquette in front of the queen.
Leaving aside other things for the time being, the dozen or so old gentlemen invited by King Yu are indeed very important. It can be seen that his efforts to pay respects to scholars over the years have not been in vain, and he has accumulated a lot of contacts.Among them is an old Mr. Zhou Xuanqing who has lived in Lingyin Temple in the west of Beijing for many years. That is the most important thing. Usually, no matter the royal family or ministers, it is difficult to see him. I am impressed by Yuwang's potential.
As a result, the Ministry of Rites was really hard to contend with, even Yan Yujin, who was always frivolous and careless about etiquette, could judge the prince's defeat in advance.
In the end, the court debate lasted only three days before the curtain fell. Although the concubine Yue was restored, she was not allowed to stand on the altar with the emperor and queen during the ceremony. After the prince had drunk, he had to touch the dress of the emperor and queen; Shu, Chen Yuancheng was dismissed from his post. Because of his old age, he was allowed to become an official, so he will not go into details.
And because of his status as a concubine, the crown prince was repeatedly emphasized by King Yu in the court hall. He was so ashamed and annoyed that he couldn't hold back for a moment and slapped King Yu across the face, and was scolded by Emperor Liang in court.
In the chaos, only Prince Jing stood quietly and watched coldly among the princes, his demeanor of not being surprised by favor or humiliation left a good impression on many courtiers who did not pay attention to him.
In this way, not long after the head of the household department changed, the Ministry of Rites became the second head-changing department department.
……
The national teacher just changed clothes in the official residence today. She wore a frosty white brocade robe and a lotus green cloak, and her whole body was wrapped in a cold color; There was an undeniable indifference in his eyes.
"Is the court theory over?"
"Yes, as you expected, King Yu won."
"No, it was King Jing who won. The court's argument is just about a person's superiority and inferiority. The result is that everyone is a bastard, and no one is more noble than anyone else. On this basis, Xiao Jingyan can stand out." Mu Yanshan couldn't help it. I don't admit it, but this brother's plan is really getting more and more careful. It's wonderful that someone will thank him thousands of times after he has calculated it, and at the same time achieve his goal!
While talking, the two walked outside Li Guoshi's mansion, standing under the tree Lingfeng looked out, the mountains were like Daisy, the Xiongguan was far away, and the wisps of haze soaked through the sunset, soft like a red veil in the sky.
By this time, Nihuang should already know Mei Changsu's identity, and she is ready to leave for Yunnan, she thought.
The return of Mei Changsu has become the biggest variable in the Chi Yan case. It is best to understand everything, and be able to trip the North Korean and Chinese forces within three years and quickly settle the mistakes of the year.
Now is the troubled time when King Yu and the crown prince are competing for the heir. If the prince can be successfully tripped up, Wang Yu’s family is the only one and His Majesty is in a balanced court. It belonged to Prince Jing, so there would be a chance to retry Chi Yan's case.However, the case of the Chiyan Army involves too much. Xia Jiang and Xie Yu are two mountains that cannot be crossed, and the National Teacher's Mansion is unshakable. .
She repeatedly thought about various possibilities and constantly weighed the consequences of various variables.
Mu Xuan stood by her side without saying a word, and the dark guard quietly appeared to hand over the information. Mu Xuan took it for inspection, waved him to go down, and returned to her himself: "My lord, yesterday the Ministry of Rites sent someone to the mansion to invite someone to go. Looking at the seats on the altar, and moving the position according to the astrology, the people below found that there was something wrong with the altar for the end of the year festival, and there was a lot of gunpowder hidden in it. In addition, the palace reported that the empress suddenly fell ill."
I don't know if the queen is really sick, or if there is something else hidden?If it is a real disease, can it be cured within five days?If the queen's illness is not cured by then, who can replace her at the ceremony?
Thinking of this, Mu Yanshan frowned slightly. The matter in the court has not yet settled down, and there are waves in the palace again. This year is really an eventful year.
"Send someone to investigate, and the empress also sends a pharmacist to see what's going on."
"Yes."
"In addition, there is another thing. According to the news from the Jianghu spies, in recent months, different shippers have successively transported gunpowder from groceries to Beijing through different channels, although the quantity is not large each time. , but the accumulation is probably two hundred catties. It is strange to say that this year's new tribute oranges still have a slight smell of nitrate." Not only Jianghu gangs, even official ships can secretly Mixed with gunpowder, common rivers and lakes disputes, I'm afraid I can't do this...
"Is it strange?" Mu Yanshan sneered with her hands behind her back. Mu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and turned her head to face the master's deep pupils. She blinked and flashed a deep smile like ice.
"Is there any private artillery room in the capital? How long has it been in business? Who owns it? Where does the source of goods come from? Where did the gunpowder of the official ship go? This seat must be clear about these." Mu Yanshan raised her eyebrows, "I understand. Yet?"
"I understand." Mu Xuan didn't dare to delay, turned around and left immediately, and sent someone to investigate.
As a teacher of the state, she naturally couldn't be idle, and was summoned by the emperor to discuss state affairs in the palace. When she returned to the mansion, the moon passed the sky, the moon's shadow sank to the west, and the twilight of the morning sun lit up in the east.Thinking that it would be boring to go back to the mansion, he went to the small courtyard that originally belonged to the Lin mansion.Ever since Lin's family was exposed, Mu Yanshan would always come here to sit around, for no other reason than to try to be clean.
Outside the window, the sun is rising.At the same time, after visiting Mei Changsu, who had a relapse, Xiao Jingyan came to Lin's residence by accident.Today's Lin Mansion is already dilapidated and dilapidated, and the closed gate does not show the glory of the past at all.Except for Xiao Jingyan, no one in the villain's mansion is willing to cause bad luck.
"I've seen Master Guoshi." Xiao Jingyan had just stepped into Lin Shan's small courtyard when he saw the cold and dignified Master Guoshi leaning on the branch of the big banyan tree in the courtyard, holding a jug of sake in his hand, drinking for himself.Indulging doubts in my heart, I didn't forget the proper etiquette.
Mu Yanshan squinted at the respectful Xiao Jingyan below, feeling bored, she waved her hands in response, and said, "Look at His Highness, maybe he just came out from Jiang Zuo Meilang Mei Changsu."
"What did the adults say? It's just a small talk between friends."
Mu Yanshan smiled slightly, without expressing anything.
"Does your lord know that the empress is sick recently?"
Mu Yanshan raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.
Prince Jing looked calm, and said in a calm tone: "I enter the palace today to greet you. My mother told me that my mother has been poisoned by soft wisdom grass. Taking it makes the limbs weak and the appetite decreases, but the medicinal effect can only last for six to seven days. When the empress fell ill , she is going to Zhengyang Palace with all the concubines for a routine pilgrimage, and she is standing not far in front of the queen, so she can see clearly."
Mu Yanshan frowned, and walked to Xiao Jingyan's side in the blink of an eye, motioning him to sit down and talk.
"Oh, that's interesting." Mu Yanshan brought Xiao Jingyan a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Why did Your Highness come here today?"
"My heart was in a mess, I wanted to go out for a walk, and I came here before I knew it." The two had met before, and Xiao Jingyan was very wary of Mu Yanshan at first, but as time passed, he clearly sensed that Mu Yanshan was not hostile, so he Try to talk to her, and occasionally confide in her heart, anyway, she won't tell Father.
"Thinking about Mei Changsu's idea?"
This move is Qi Meng's trump card, and he has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, which helped him make a lot of achievements in battle.But for Fei Liu, this level of attack was not enough to surprise him at all. With a flick of his hand, he blocked the throwing knife and nailed it to a tree.
Qi Meng frowned, and shouted "Come out!" With a flick of the back of the knife, another ray of light flashed.
Mei Changsu's face remained unchanged, but Hei Chen's pupils shrank sharply in an instant.Because this time, the throwing knife came straight at his throat.
If it was Lin Shu in the past, such a throwing knife would naturally not be taken seriously, but now that his whole body strength has been crippled, even an ordinary strong man can't beat it, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid this snow-like blade.Since he couldn't hide, why did he need to hide, so Mei Changsu stood where he was, not moving a muscle.
Fei Liu's figure had also turned into a knife at this time, and he chased after him, but after all, he started too late, a step slower.
The hilt of the flying knife was caught in King Jing's hands at last, the national teacher narrowed his eyes slightly, the blade was shattered, scattered in all directions, and shot straight into the surrounding wooden posts, penetrating three points.
Everyone was shocked and knelt down in fear.
Mei Changsu lightly gestured to Fei Liu. No one could understand what it meant, but Fei Liu stopped all movements and stood still quietly.
Although Qi Meng has no malicious intentions, although his target is definitely not Prince Jing.But after all, he pointed the sharp blade in the direction of his lord.
If King Jing has been sticking to the status quo, and if his future ends in being just a general king, then this scene can be laughed off.But that is no longer the case.
When his ambitions and aspirations point to the most supreme throne in Daliang, he must consciously cultivate the temperament that belongs to the monarch, a temperament that will never allow to be ignored or offended in any way.
Looking at Prince Jing's gloomy, monolithic face, Qi Meng, who was still smiling before, felt more and more wrong. He was getting flustered, and he involuntarily turned his gaze to his left front.
All the high-ranking generals under Prince Jing were kneeling there, everyone looked a little nervous, and one of them secretly gestured for Qi Meng to kneel down.
"It's the last general who was reckless. Your lord, the national teacher, forgive me and apologize to you. Please remember me as a scumbag. Don't take offense." Qi Meng thought for a while, thinking that King Jing was angry because of the presence of the lord national teacher, coupled with his love. Respecting Su Zhe, annoyed that he was rude to them, so he immediately followed suit and bowed to the national teacher and Mei Changsu.
"You don't need to apologize to me, anyway, it's His Royal Highness Prince Jing who is ashamed, not me." Mu Yanshan said at the end, her sharp ending voice suddenly turned sharp, with a hint of sarcasm, as if she still had a rush of vigor, " A group of mobsters who don't know the rules of the king, no wonder His Majesty is so blue-eyed. Throwing knives in the direction of this seat and His Highness Prince Jing is really good manners. I can imagine your majesty's majesty among your subordinates, this seat is really eye-opening today gone."
Then he glanced at Xiao Jingyan, who was looking worried, and left without raising his head, shaking his sleeves, and shouted in a cold voice: "Mu Xuan, come and assist His Highness in the investigation, and help His Highness King Jing to see who should be kept and what should be punished!"
"Yes."
As soon as the national teacher's words fell, Qi Meng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he knelt down with a plop.
Prince Jing looked at him coldly, without saying a word, his face sank like water, all the people present were silent, they followed the footsteps of the national teacher and knelt down in fear one after another, even Ting Sheng who didn't quite understand was caught by this The atmosphere was frightened, and he knelt down quietly.

Because everyone realized that although the national teacher's words were ugly, there was not a single word wrong.Although it is customary to compare skills in martial arts and test outsiders, there should be a big difference between the presence of King Jing and the absence of King Jing, especially the presence of the National Teacher who is in the political center, and their actions represent Jing. King's face.
"Your Highness," Lie Zhanying, the highest-ranking general in Prince Jing's mansion, said in a low voice, "Your subordinates are aware of their mistakes. Your Highness, please appease your anger. Your subordinates are willing to accept the punishment."
Qi Meng slammed his head down and said in a trembling voice, "Please punish me, Your Highness."
Prince Jing's eyes glanced coldly around, seeing that everyone lowered their heads to avoid his gaze, and then turned back to Qi Meng.
The national teacher used the sharpest words to leave him with a big topic - tidying up the interior.Because once he chooses the path of supremacy, there will be many more things that will change than he imagined. While obtaining other capital through the land invasion case, he must find a way to forge the top and bottom of Prince Jing's mansion. into a solid iron plate.
For the first time, Prince Jing felt the weight on his shoulders, but his waist became straighter because of it.
"Qi Meng was rude and disrespectful. He committed a crime of arrogance. He was severely beaten with two hundred army sticks and demoted to be a centurion. Zhanying, you will be imprisoned."
After saying only this sentence, Prince Jing turned around and strode away, leaving a large group of bewildered subordinates on the school field.
……
After the winter solstice, the New Year is approaching.It was supposed to be a joyful time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but the atmosphere in the capital became tense because of a case of land invasion.
Nearly ten days after the start of the trial of the land invasion case, the case has not yet been concluded, and rumors have been heard in various places.Cases of a similar nature flew to the capital from all directions, and wealthy families who had merged behaviors also began to quietly compensate farmers and farmers for returning their land, and some incidents of coercion and silence occurred from time to time.
When dealing with these secondary incidents, King Jing showed his unknown behavior style, calm but decisive, persistent and flexible, and he cooperated happily with the co-trial officials.
A major case that might have caused chaos was handled very cleanly by Prince Jing because of the emperor's support, Prince Yu's cooperation, and his helpers were capable, winning praise from everyone.In less than a month, the case was basically concluded. Qing Guogong and his relatives and friends were 17 principal offenders.
After the paper was sealed, King Jing brought his fellow interrogators into the palace to meet him and reply.
In addition to the "land invasion case", two other cases that have attracted much attention from the ruling and opposition parties have also made progress.
The two cases were reported by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion almost on the same day, but the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that accepted the cases adopted completely different methods of handling them.
With the strongest team in the dry well hidden corpse case, a series of procedures such as investigation, evidence collection, interrogation, trial, reporting and approval were quickly completed. Although Lou Jingzhi refused to admit to death, but the evidence of the crime was convincing, he has been suspended from his post and put in prison, waiting for the emperor Zhu Bi, this once-famous Minister of the Household Department will become a thing of the past.
He Wenxin's murder case, the facts of the case are clear, He Jingzhong wanted to keep this son-in-law, he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and was about to be sent out of the capital, but Uncle Wen Yuan caught him and turned him over to the emperor.King Yu had no choice but to abandon He Jingzhong, and He Wenxin was also detained in the Ministry of Punishment, which made He Jingzhong seriously ill.
At the same time, the most important thing for the royal family at the end of the year is to sacrifice.
Worship ancestors, heaven, earth, and gods.
For the imperial court and the royal family, whether the regulation of the sacrificial ceremony is correct or not is a major issue related to the success of the coming year, and it cannot be sloppy at all.
Xie Yu was keenly aware that a very favorable opportunity had arrived for the prince.According to Liang Li, the inner palace below the concubine is not allowed to accompany the sacrifice, but must kneel and serve on the periphery.However, according to Liang Li, after the prince set up a sacrifice and sprinkled wine, he had to touch his parents' dresses to the ground to show respect and filial piety.Herein lies the contradiction.The Yue family has been deposed and reduced to a concubine, but she is also the birth mother of the prince. On the one hand, her status is extremely low, on the other hand, her status is extremely noble, which makes it very difficult for the Ministry of Rites to arrange the sacrificial ceremony.
Xie Yu secretly suggested to the crown prince to use this opportunity to enter the palace and cry out to the emperor for remorse, and to ask for the return of his mother and concubine. Stay overnight with the emperor, and slowly restore the old love of the Sacred Heart.
When the prince got this idea, he was overjoyed immediately, made careful preparations, went into the palace and lay down in front of Emperor Liang's knees, mourning and weeping for a full hour, trying his best to show his benevolence and filial piety.Emperor Liang was a little embarrassed.
The Yue family was originally his most beloved harem, and he didn't want to take this opportunity to forgive him.But the Yue family has only been deposed for a mere few months, if they were exonerated so easily, Princess Nihuang might be disappointed.
Although the Ministry of Rituals had no objection, and even strongly agreed with it, Emperor Liang was somewhat hesitant. After all, the matter of etiquette was still in the hands of the National Teacher's Office.Just at this time, Xie Yu entered the palace to see him on the grounds that he had reported on military supplies in the Northwest.Emperor Liang didn't know about Xie Yu's relationship with the crown prince at this time, and thinking that he was also a member of the military, he ordered someone to call him in and ask his opinion on whether the Yue clan should be restored.After getting the opinion, he felt that it was reasonable, so he ordered to restore the birth mother status of the prince, and Gao Zhan was sent by the National Teacher's Office to explain it.
As soon as this matter happened, King Yu was the first to be impatient.In fact, in recent years, the battle between the crown prince and Yuwang has reached a stalemate because of the equal strength of the two sides. On the whole, it has been very quiet, and neither side has made any major moves.
Unexpectedly, all of this was nothing more than an afterthought. It only needed a small touch to immediately enter a climactic offensive and defensive battle.Concubine Yue was demoted, Lou Zhijing fell from power, Duke Qing ransacked his home, He Wenxin was sentenced to beheaded... This wave after wave made people overwhelmed.
Now that Concubine Yue has just been restored, there are several censors in charge, pointing out that the Ministry of Rituals presided over the sacrificial ceremony inappropriately, and it is even more disrespectful to bypass the national teacher to implement the ritual system.King Yu took advantage of the situation and invited more than a dozen respected contemporary Confucians to initiate a court debate. The topic was directed at the extraordinary treatment the concubine Yue had received over the years and the prince's lack of etiquette in front of the queen.
Leaving aside other things for the time being, the dozen or so old gentlemen invited by King Yu are indeed very important. It can be seen that his efforts to pay respects to scholars over the years have not been in vain, and he has accumulated a lot of contacts.Among them is an old Mr. Zhou Xuanqing who has lived in Lingyin Temple in the west of Beijing for many years. That is the most important thing. Usually, no matter the royal family or ministers, it is difficult to see him. I am impressed by Yuwang's potential.
As a result, the Ministry of Rites was really hard to contend with, even Yan Yujin, who was always frivolous and careless about etiquette, could judge the prince's defeat in advance.
In the end, the court debate lasted only three days before the curtain fell. Although the concubine Yue was restored, she was not allowed to stand on the altar with the emperor and queen during the ceremony. After the prince had drunk, he had to touch the dress of the emperor and queen; Shu, Chen Yuancheng was dismissed from his post. Because of his old age, he was allowed to become an official, so he will not go into details.
And because of his status as a concubine, the crown prince was repeatedly emphasized by King Yu in the court hall. He was so ashamed and annoyed that he couldn't hold back for a moment and slapped King Yu across the face, and was scolded by Emperor Liang in court.
In the chaos, only Prince Jing stood quietly and watched coldly among the princes, his demeanor of not being surprised by favor or humiliation left a good impression on many courtiers who did not pay attention to him.
In this way, not long after the head of the household department changed, the Ministry of Rites became the second head-changing department department.

It's wonderful that someone will thank him thousands of times after he has calculated it, and at the same time achieve his goal!
While talking, the two walked outside Li Guoshi's mansion, standing under the tree Lingfeng looked out, the mountains were like Daisy, the Xiongguan was far away, and the wisps of haze soaked through the sunset, soft like a red veil in the sky.
By this time, Nihuang should already know Mei Changsu's identity, and she is ready to leave for Yunnan, she thought.
The return of Mei Changsu has become the biggest variable in the Chi Yan case. It is best to understand everything, and be able to trip the North Korean and Chinese forces within three years and quickly settle the mistakes of the year.
Now is the troubled time when King Yu and the crown prince are competing for the heir. If the prince can be successfully tripped up, Wang Yu’s family is the only one and His Majesty is in a balanced court. It belonged to Prince Jing, so there would be a chance to retry Chi Yan's case.However, the case of the Chiyan Army involves too much. Xia Jiang and Xie Yu are two mountains that cannot be crossed, and the National Teacher's Mansion is unshakable. .
She repeatedly thought about various possibilities and constantly weighed the consequences of various variables.
Mu Xuan stood by her side without saying a word, and the dark guard quietly appeared to hand over the information. Mu Xuan took it for inspection, waved him to go down, and returned to her himself: "My lord, yesterday the Ministry of Rites sent someone to the mansion to invite someone to go. Looking at the seats on the altar, and moving the position according to the astrology, the people below found that there was something wrong with the altar for the end of the year festival, and there was a lot of gunpowder hidden in it. In addition, the palace reported that the empress suddenly fell ill."
I don't know if the queen is really sick, or if there is something else hidden?If it is a real disease, can it be cured within five days?If the queen's illness is not cured by then, who can replace her at the ceremony?
Thinking of this, Mu Yanshan frowned slightly. The matter in the court has not yet settled down, and there are waves in the palace again. This year is really an eventful year.
"Send someone to investigate, and the empress also sends a pharmacist to see what's going on."
"Yes."
"In addition, there is another thing. According to the news from the Jianghu spies, in recent months, different shippers have successively transported gunpowder from groceries to Beijing through different channels, although the quantity is not large each time. , but the accumulation is probably two hundred catties. It is strange to say that this year's new tribute oranges still have a slight smell of nitrate." Not only Jianghu gangs, even official ships can secretly Mixed with gunpowder, common rivers and lakes disputes, I'm afraid I can't do this...
"Is it strange?" Mu Yanshan sneered with her hands behind her back. Mu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and turned her head to face the master's deep pupils. She blinked and flashed a deep smile like ice.
"Is there any private artillery room in the capital? How long has it been in business? Who owns it? Where does the source of goods come from? Where did the gunpowder of the official ship go? This seat must be clear about these." Mu Yanshan raised her eyebrows, "I understand. Yet?"
"I understand." Mu Xuan didn't dare to delay, turned around and left immediately, and sent someone to investigate.
As a teacher of the state, she naturally couldn't be idle, and was summoned by the emperor to discuss state affairs in the palace. When she returned to the mansion, the moon passed the sky, the moon's shadow sank to the west, and the twilight of the morning sun lit up in the east.Thinking that it would be boring to go back to the mansion, he went to the small courtyard that originally belonged to the Lin mansion.Ever since Lin's family was exposed, Mu Yanshan would always come here to sit around, for no other reason than to try to be clean.
Outside the window, the sun is rising.At the same time, after visiting Mei Changsu, who had a relapse, Xiao Jingyan came to Lin's residence by accident.Today's Lin Mansion is already dilapidated and dilapidated, and the closed gate does not show the glory of the past at all.Except for Xiao Jingyan, no one in the villain's mansion is willing to cause bad luck.
"I've seen Master Guoshi." Xiao Jingyan had just stepped into Lin Shan's small courtyard when he saw the cold and dignified Master Guoshi leaning on the branch of the big banyan tree in the courtyard, holding a jug of sake in his hand, drinking for himself.Indulging doubts in my heart, I didn't forget the proper etiquette.
Mu Yanshan squinted at the respectful Xiao Jingyan below, feeling bored, she waved her hands in response, and said, "Look at His Highness, maybe he just came out from Jiang Zuo Meilang Mei Changsu."
"What did the adults say? It's just a small talk between friends."
Mu Yanshan smiled slightly, without expressing anything.
"Does your lord know that the empress is sick recently?"
Mu Yanshan raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.
Prince Jing looked calm, and said in a calm tone: "I enter the palace today to greet you. My mother told me that my mother has been poisoned by soft wisdom grass. Taking it makes the limbs weak and the appetite decreases, but the medicinal effect can only last for six to seven days. When the empress fell ill , she is going to Zhengyang Palace with all the concubines for a routine pilgrimage, and she is standing not far in front of the queen, so she can see clearly."
Mu Yanshan frowned, and walked to Xiao Jingyan's side in the blink of an eye, motioning him to sit down and talk.
"Oh, that's interesting." Mu Yanshan brought Xiao Jingyan a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Why did Your Highness come here today?"
"My heart was in a mess, I wanted to go out for a walk, and I came here before I knew it." The two had met before, and Xiao Jingyan was very wary of Mu Yanshan at first, but as time passed, he clearly sensed that Mu Yanshan was not hostile, so he Try to talk to her, and occasionally confide in her heart, anyway, she won't tell Father.
"Thinking about Mei Changsu's idea?"
