Chapter 164
Chapter 164
The old incident 20 years ago was investigated very quickly. On the third day after Liang Jian was imprisoned, the official responsible for investigating the matter wrote the investigation results as a memorial and handed it to Li Yu.It is impossible for Qing Sijian to pursue the fault of the Supreme Emperor, so the responsibility for the crime rests with the master in charge alone.Concealing the Supreme Emperor's secret order, becoming Qing Sijian's mistake in astrology, causing Mei Zhenghan to live among the people.
Li Yu ordered to announce Mei Zhenghan's identity to the world, let him recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, and immediately moved from the posthouse back to the princess mansion.At the same time, I also feel grateful for Jiang Yi and Chen Qiu's benevolence and righteousness to save Mei Zhenghan's life, and made Jiang Shengxue the county head, and bestowed the title of Mingyue.Jiang Yi and Chen Qiu died, and the Chen family was Jiang Shengxue's only relative. Mei Zhenghan recognized her ancestors and returned to her family, so she would naturally return to the Chen family.By the way, Li Yu also issued an order to reward the Chen family, and asked someone to bring the news to Jiang Shengxue in western Yunnan.
In just a few days, the situation in Wangcheng was changing. Liang Jian was imprisoned, and Mei Zhenghan became the son of the eldest princess.In order to celebrate his return, Li Yu specially held a banquet in the palace, and ordered officials above the third rank and their relatives to attend the banquet.
Mei Zhenghan's life experience was beyond the expectations of too many people, and they even felt it was unreal.However, after seeing Mei Zhenghan's face, all this confusion became so clear. At the same time, some people vaguely guessed why Li Yu wanted to throw Liang Jian into the prison.
A powerful city lord and a royal family member are not involved in small forces. The better their relationship is, the more dreadful they are.It is impossible for Li Yu to sacrifice Mei Zhenghan, so he can only wrong Liang Jian.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the palace banquet, the sky prison is much deserted.The prisoners in the sky prison at the foot of Wangcheng are all severely punished. When Li Yu was married, few of them were able to get out of the world. The only thing waiting for them in this place is death.
Liang Jian's cell was on the innermost side, and Li Yu ordered that no one be allowed to visit the prison, and naturally no one was allowed to make things difficult.His cell was empty and quiet all around.
Liang Jian was supposed to be safe and comfortable here, but he was injured now.The injuries were not serious, they were all skin traumas, pulled out with a whip, one of which was on the jaw.The person who did it was originally hitting him in the face, but Liang Jian avoided it because he thought that Mei Zhenghan liked his face the most.
The cell boss who came to deliver Liang Jian's food sighed when he saw Liang Jian like this, knelt down and took out today's food and handed it to Liang Jian, along with an extra bottle of wine.
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, and the jailer said: "There is a banquet in the palace today, I think you would like to drink a little."
When the cell boss said this, his eyes were full of pity. On the day Liang Jian came, Eunuch Ma personally escorted her here, and he had been instructed not to be hurt, but the prison was the most shady place in the sky. Some words were said as if they were not said.The cell bosses didn't dare to do anything to Liang Jian, but the outsiders were different. They were all old and young, so they had to turn a blind eye.
Liang Jian took a sip from the wine bottle, it was ordinary sorghum wine, very strong.He coughed until he choked after drinking it in one gulp. He was not as good as Mei Zhenghan, and he didn't like this kind of strong wine very much.
Seeing him coughing, the cell boss smiled instead of contempt: "It's homemade, don't think it's rough."
Liang Jian said: "I'm not used to drinking this kind of liquor very rarely, but Zheng Han likes it very much. He should drink with those ministers at the palace banquet right now."
Liang Jian's eyes were filled with reminiscence, and the prison chief was a little surprised, and said, "How do you know he was at the palace banquet? Speaking of which, I don't know whether to sympathize with you or congratulate you, but your brother-in-law is still in prison. He became the son of the Eldest Princess. I heard they said that you have a good relationship, so will he rescue you?"
"Don't worry, I'm not comfortable in this prison yet." Liang Jian laughed loudly and took another sip of wine.
The cell boss had never seen a person who was so happy in prison, so he thought Liang Jian was a bit silly.He looked at the wound on Liang Jian's body, and said, "The emperor won't let us embarrass you, but that is Lord Fu's granddaughter, and it doesn't work for us to speak lightly. Fortunately, she is also at the palace banquet today, so she probably won't come to jail I'm looking for trouble for you."
The prison chief's words made Liang Jian pause for a moment. He lowered his head and glanced at the wound on his body, his eyes dimmed.On the second day after he entered the prison, Fu Yun, who got the news, came to look for him in the prison. The other prison chiefs could stop him, but the entry of this young lady under the name of Miss Fu's family went smoothly.
Liang Jian and Fu Jiaming didn't have any serious grievances on the surface, but this Miss Fu was like eating gunpowder, she didn't know where Liang Jian offended her, so she came here to punish Liang Jian.Thinking about her future plans, Liang Jian didn't have the same knowledge as her, so giving her a few whips didn't mean she was bullying her.
The cell boss in front of him was very sincere, Liang Jian thanked him for the wine and persuaded him to leave, so as not to be confused by others later on.The cell boss nodded and said that he would come back to collect the bowls and chopsticks later.
Liang Jian drank wine alone, and the moonlight fell in through the small window, casting a silver light on the ground.Liang Jian sat in the darkness, looking at a small piece of bright land, imagining what Mei Zhenghan would look like at the palace banquet.
"He must be very angry." Liang Jian smiled, expecting that Mei Zhenghan would not be happy because of what happened tonight.He didn't give any hints in advance, but when he came out suddenly and put himself in prison, Mei Zhenghan might still be angry.But Liang Jian is not worried about his impulsiveness, there are many people around him who can stabilize him.Even if he couldn't hold it steady, there was still the pawn Chen Wenmo left behind by Liang Jian.
The prisoner who had just left turned back after a while, Liang Jian heard footsteps and glanced at him, "I still eat..."
Before he finished speaking, the cell leader standing outside said coldly: "Why are you injured?"
Liang Jian was taken aback, looked up at the prisoner who had a completely different temperament and was exuding coldness all over his body, stood up and strode over to lean against the iron gate of the prison, and asked tentatively, "Ye Baiyi?"
Ye Baiyi nodded, his eyes fell on Liang Jian's body, and the coldness in his eyes was even worse.
Liang Jian's plan was not hidden from him, because he was often needed for his help. He had been here long before Liang Jian entered the king's city, and had been secretly in touch with Liang Jian.Seeing Liang Jian make himself like this, Ye Baiyi's face with little emotion fluctuated.He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Liang Jian and said, "For external application."
Liang Jian took the bottle, and Ye Baiyi said again: "I have found out what you asked me to investigate. There are two reasons why Li Yu has no heirs. One is the evil consequences of his early absurdity, and the other is that someone has been secretly giving him Prescribe the medicine, so that there is little possibility of no possibility at all. The person who prescribes the medicine must have a good idea, I have the witness and evidence, what is your plan next. "
The person who can reach out to the harem without wanting Li Yu to have a concubine, the only one who can do so imperviously over the years is Fu Kun, who is a high-ranking and powerful person.This is the handle that was given to him, and the second one is enough for Fu Kun to turn over.
Liang Jian played with the small porcelain vase in her hand, with a cold smile on her face: "Wait."
Ye Baiyi looked at him, and Liang Jian said: "Wait for the opportunity for me to go out from here. Zhenghan recognizes the ancestor and returns to the clan, and the succession to the throne will be settled. Fu Kun can't bear it for too long. When I get out, it's time to add fire to him. New Let's settle the old accounts together."
Fu Yun is a lunatic, she paid Liang Jianjian for these whips with her life.
Ye Baiyi didn't ask Liang Jian what the reason was, he acted for a reason.The cell boss's identity was borrowed, and Ye Baiyi was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he prepared to leave after bringing the news to Liang Jian.
Liang Jian leaned against the cold cell door, thought for a while and called Ye Baiyi to stop, "The moon beauty in the palace, you let her do the last thing, and leave the palace immediately after she succeeds."
Ye Baiyi turned around and said, "Say it."
Liang Jian asked Ye Baiyi to lean over, whispered a few words in his ear, and after speaking, Ye Baiyi looked up at him.Liang Jian thought Ye Baiyi had something to say, but he turned around and left without saying anything.
The second day after Ye Baiyi visited Liang Jian in the prison, that is, the second day after the palace banquet ended, many people were still sleeping soundly in their sweet dreams in the early morning. He rushed all the way into the palace gate, breaking the peace of the day.
The western part of Yunnan is in an emergency, and the State of Fujian leads an army of [-] to invade Hongye City. Qiao County is lost, Qingxi County is in danger, and Hongye City is in an emergency.
The news of Liang Jian being imprisoned in the dungeon hadn't reached Hongye City, but the news of Hongye City's attack flew into Wangcheng one step ahead.Li Yu urgently summoned the officials and asked them to discuss a solution.
"Jincheng is adjacent to Hongye City. Yan Qingqing has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in her hands. Your Majesty can let her send troops to support Hongye City. Liang Jian has now been imprisoned, so she shouldn't continue to serve as the city lord of Hongye City. It's understandable that Hongye City didn't receive any news to make this request, but His Majesty cannot agree to them."
The news of the war came too urgently, but it was not impossible to deal with it. Many people in the court did not want Liang Jian to come out and tried their best to obstruct it.
Mei Zhenghan had just returned to Mu's house and shouldn't be involved in government affairs, but because of the emergency, Li Yu also called him in. Now he was standing with the courtiers, and when he heard them talk about sending troops lightly, he said with a sneer: "My lords! Have you forgotten why City Lord Yan is absent? Not to mention that she is still ill, even if she recovers, there is no reason for her to lead the army as a girl, while you hide behind and enjoy your leisure."
Mei Zhenghan's retort made the grown-up look a little ugly just now, and his colleagues who were friends with him chimed in: "...that's wrong. I've heard for a long time that the coach of Jincheng's army is good at running the army. You can let her Play instead of City Lord Yan."
"Yang Junning? That's a girl too. Besides, she was introduced to Yan Qingqing by my elder brother. Do you dare to use her?"
There was more mockery in Mei Zhenghan's eyes, and there was an uproar in the hall, and Li Yu also had a strange look in his eyes. He had heard a little about Yang Junning, and murmured: "It turned out to be a girl."
"Second Young Master, Liang Jian is now a sinner. It may not be appropriate for you to call him elder brother because of your noble status." Amidst everyone's astonishment, an untimely voice sounded.Fu Kun stood in front of the courtiers without squinting, and said with deep meaning: "Since Hongye City and Jincheng can't find suitable candidates for the time being, your majesty might as well recruit people from the court. I heard that the second son served in Huya for a while, He has made military achievements, and he grew up in Hongye City, so he must be very familiar with the situation there, so he is a good candidate."
When Fu Kun mentioned Li Yu in this way, he remembered that his military merits were not small. Li Yu also gave Mei Zhenghan an official position, but he resigned later.
Other people in the court also felt that what Fu Kun said was somewhat reasonable, and some of them echoed it later.
Mei Zhenghan snorted coldly, but ignored Fu Kun's words.
Li Yu sat on the dragon chair and meditated. It was indeed a good idea to take this opportunity to release Liang Jian, but the reason was not tenable.Now that there are people available in the court, it is not because of Liang Jian.
Mei Zhenghan obviously knew this too, and didn't fall into the pit dug by Fu Kun.
Seeing that Mei Zhenghan didn't speak, others thought that he was acquiescing to what Fu Kun said, and began to actively speak out.Compared with this group of people who made trouble, everyone who had friendship with Liang Jian remained silent and watched the changes.
Li Yu looked at Mei Zhenghan, and was considering whether to let him lead the troops, when the second urgent report entered the hall from the palace gate.
Beidi led troops to invade and started a full-scale war with Mobei. General Mu asked the eldest princess to return quickly.
First Fujian and then Beidi, the two sides seemed to agree, everyone in the hall trembled in their hearts, feeling faintly that the rain was about to come.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the third and fourth urgent reports followed.
In the snowstorm at Huyakou, bandits in the vicinity gathered to rob the government granary, and put up a banner to persuade the common people to revolt.
The water trade route between Jiangnan and Pengxian Island was destroyed by Pengxian Island a few days ago, and none of the merchants who entered the sea survived. Jiangcheng sent troops to negotiate and was killed.But Wang Boyang, who holds the military power in the south of the Yangtze River, said he was sick at home and didn't even come to Wangcheng.
The four urgent reports and four places entered Wangcheng on the same day. The coincidence of timing is unbelievable.There was a sudden explosion in the court, and Qiu Tong was facing an unprecedented crisis due to external troubles and internal troubles.Many people came back to their senses from the shock of the urgent report, and vaguely smelled something unusual.
Qiu Tong's troops were all divided, and the available generals in the court suddenly became scarce. Those people who thought it was okay to release Liang Jian just now shut their mouths tightly.
Yan Qingqing from the west of Yunnan and Wang Boyang from the south of the Yangtze River both had a certain friendship with Liang Jian. It was unbelievable that they both claimed to be sick and absent from the annual meeting. It was also an extremely coincidental coincidence that they needed to deploy troops. Many people were worried. Suddenly.
Liang Jian is still in prison, and it will be a matter of time before West Yunnan and Jiangnan receive news.
"Your Majesty, Qiu Tong is now in the midst of employing people. The old minister doesn't know what mistake City Master Liang made and you put him in jail. Please see him for his contribution to Hongye City, let him take the crime and make meritorious service, and return to Hongye immediately. The city presides over the situation."
In the panic of the court, Chen Rushen, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said a good word for Liang Jian.
Li Yu didn't want to imprison Liang Jian at first, and putting him in the sky prison was just an expedient measure. As soon as Chen Rushen said this, he went down the donkey and said: "Old Chen is right, Liang Jian is allowed to take the crime and make meritorious service, Mr. Ma... ..."
Li Yu originally wanted Eunuch Ma to fetch Liang Jian from the prison, but he stopped at the beginning of the conversation, looked at Mei Zhenghan and said, "You should go, let him come to see me in the imperial study after changing his clothes."
Mei Zhenghan bowed his head to thank him, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he was deeply worried.Fighting broke out on all sides, and Qiu Tong entered the state of preparation for the battle. This fight will kill countless people, and countless families will be displaced as a result.
