Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 447
Meng Xuanyu was very busy this day, either discussing things with the ministers of the six ministries, or conspiring with people from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai.

After all the evidence was collected and everything was ready, Meng Xuanyu brought Taifu, Zhongshu Ling, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Doctor Yushi, etc. into the palace together.

They chatted in the palace for three full hours, arguing with reason around the big and small cases of Wang Zhaoyuan and his son.

Shu Emperor Meng Chang also summoned two trusted ministers to have a fierce debate with Meng Xuanyu and others. In the end, the facts speak louder than words, because many evidences are conclusive, and Meng Chang could not completely suppress them.

"Father, if you don't investigate this person, where is the law of the country?" Meng Xuanyu asked his father neither humble nor overbearing.

Meng Chang hesitated for a while, nodded slightly, and let go, said: "The matter has come to this point, it is Wang Zhaoyuan who is not clean enough to do these wrong things, and I can't keep him, everything is his own fault."

Huangmen servant Gao satirized and suggested: "Officials, don't say anything about this matter for the time being. Wang Zhaoyuan is in the front camp with a heavy army in his hands. If the news leaks out, even if he doesn't rebel, if he directly turns against him, it will be fine for me." The Kingdom of Shu is also a catastrophe, the most important thing is to stabilize him first, and find an opportunity to attack."

Meng Chang thought it was reasonable, nodded and said, "What Gao Aiqing said is very reasonable. This matter should not be announced to the outside world. It is not appropriate to move Wang Zhaoyuan and his son for the time being."

Meng Xuanyu cupped his hands and said: "Father, this kind of person has done many evil things and loves to talk empty words. I feel that his talents are limited, and I really can't afford a big job. This time, I will go north to the front camp and serve as an imperial envoy and supervisor. Please, father, give a Shangfang sword to my son, and if Wang Zhaoyuan finds out that he has ulterior motives, or is passive and sabotage, and affects the national line, he will be arrested directly for these crimes, so as not to let the northern border defense be destroyed!"

When Meng Chang heard the words, although he thought it made sense, he couldn't help but look at the prince one more time, hesitated to speak, and agreed after a moment of contemplation.

Because Meng Chang believed in Meng Xuanyu's character, it was impossible for him to have the intention of seizing power.

Even if Meng Xuanyu controls the frontline army, Meng Chang will not worry about him overtaking.

"That's it!"

Meng Chang agreed to let the servant of Huangmen write down the secret edict, and took his sword, and gave it to Meng Xuanyu, so that he could act according to the opportunity and take full responsibility.

"My son will definitely be able to stick to the front line and guard the gate of the country!" Meng Xuanyu said sonorously, with a sense of integrity.

In the entire Shu Kingdom, there are not many people with such backbone who are willing to stick to the border!

There are very few people in the royal family who endure hardships and stand hard work.

Meng Xuanyu was an exception. He worried about the country and the people all day long, and he was very concerned about the political affairs of the court and the intelligence of the princes.

But Meng Chang felt more and more pity, he was only the second prince in name!
"It would be great if the prince could have half of him!" Meng Chang sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

.........

As night falls, the sky is full of stars.

Su Chen told Peng Qingqing the martial arts story for two hours, his mouth was dry, after drinking a pot of tea, he went to the courtyard to breathe.

It was already late at night when Meng Xuanyu returned to the mansion, but he immediately thought of Su Chen. When he came to the courtyard where the latter was, he happened to meet him by the lotus pond outside the courtyard.

"Brother Chen, there is progress."

His face was full of tiredness, obviously he didn't sleep well these days, worried about the country and the people, and was caught in court battles, but the moment he saw Su Chen, he still showed a smile and excitement.

Su Chen actually felt a little bit sorry for his hard work these days, but the other party was a man, so he suppressed his heartache again.

It's a bit weird for a man to feel sorry for another man softly...

"Your Highness, the Meng family, after seeing those criminal evidences, has he decided to attack Wang Zhaoyuan?" Su Chen asked.

Meng Xuanyu nodded and replied: "It's about the same. In the past, my father was very fond of Lord Wang, but seeing so many of his Wang family corrupted the law, used as evidence of criminal crimes, and embezzled a lot of treasury silver in water conservancy, military armor, etc. It was indeed a little irritating."

"However, since Wang Zhaoyuan is currently serving as the commander-in-chief in the northern camp, it is not easy to arrest him directly at the moment of the war. I was sent to bring the imperial edict and the imperial sword. Once the battle fails, Wang Zhaoyuan can be captured in time and replaced. I will lead the northern army and horses." , continue to guard the gate of the country, even if the corpse is shrouded in horse leather, the Song army will not be allowed to enter the territory of Shu."

Meng Xuanyu's words were sonorous and forceful, with passion and boldness.

Su Chen looked at him sideways, thinking to himself, why there is no record in history that this Meng Xuanyu is such a talented and brave person.

Could it be that Song people deliberately omitted it when they compiled the history books of Hou Shu?
"That's good. Your Highness will go to sit in the town. Once you have the military power, you will be like a fish in water. You can completely fight against the Song army, so I don't worry about it." After Su Chen finished speaking, he put his hand on the second prince's shoulder, and patted it twice. Almost hugged.

Meng Xuanyu took a quick step to avoid his hug, she seemed to be a bit of a clean freak, and she didn't want to be treated like this...intimacy!
Damn, I was disgusted.

Su Chen was speechless, thinking that it was just to encourage you, it's useless for me to come here to help you after so many days of traveling, it's not okay to even touch it, and I'm not a girl, so much fuss!
"I'm going back to sleep, just let me know before leaving." Su Chen waved his hand, turned around and was about to go back to his room.

Meng Xuanyu's face was a little embarrassed, he stretched out his hand to hold Su Chen's hand, then quickly put it down, coughing dryly: "Rest well, at the latest, I will go north early in the morning the next day, to the northern frontier, and go to confront the Song army."

Su Chen turned sideways and responded: "Okay, got it."

"I..." Meng Xuanyu wanted to explain, she didn't mean to be cold to him, but she didn't know how to speak.

Su Chen couldn't help being curious and said: "By the way, Your Highness, I haven't seen your four charming sword maids yet. They are so tightly hidden to guard against thieves. It's not interesting."

After Meng Xuanyu heard the words, the guilt in her heart completely disappeared.

"In the future, I will take them on a trip to the north." Meng Xuanyu rolled his eyes at him, hummed softly, and said lightly.

"Oh, let's do it the day after tomorrow!" Su Chen smiled slightly, he actually didn't have any other thoughts, he just wanted to see it out of curiosity.

Because Wei Ying once said drunkly that the second prince has four close-fitting sword girls, who are not much inferior to the oiran girl Su Ruyan, and this only aroused his strong curiosity.

Su Chen turned around and went back to the room, leaving Meng Xuanyu on the spot, gesticulating with his fist as if he wanted to beat someone up.
