Chapter 277 Ask Meng Sheng to Write a Eulogy
The emperor's heart is beating like a drum, he is not in good health now, let Ye Guichen, the tiger god of war, leave the capital, who knows if he will gather an army outside to fight back?

Absolutely not!

Ye Guichen wanted to ask again: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor didn't have the patience to listen to him, so he waved his hands directly and said, "Okay, I can satisfy you with all other requirements, except this one."

Seeing him deflated, Jing Zhaoyin and others were very proud.

Ye Guichen sighed, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I just wanted to say, since it is inconvenient for me to leave Beijing, can I allow my wife to perform my son's duties on my behalf, and let her move the grave of my mother?"

This matter was discussed with the prince last night.

They all knew that the emperor would not easily let Ye Guichen leave the capital, so they used this roundabout way.

The emperor did not directly refuse this time, but began to think seriously.

He also knew that if Ye Guichen refused to relocate his mother's grave with a firm attitude, those censors would probably have something to say, and those who uphold all kinds of goodness and filial piety would condemn him as an emperor for being unkind.

After thinking for a while, the emperor nodded and agreed: "As long as you don't leave the capital, other matters can be discussed."

Only when Ye Guichen was under his nose, would he not be a threat.

Although he agreed, the emperor turned around and criticized Ye Guichen for not focusing on state affairs.

Zhou Yongxu was even more proud of seeing him being beaten and scolded. He even wanted to step out and step on him, but he was afraid that Ye Guichen would not die if he stepped on it, and he would get a bad smell instead, so he had to hold back.

After the imperial court was over, Meng Sheng had just returned to the Prime Minister's mansion when he heard a hurried announcement from his servants: "My lord, King Zhenxi is asking to see you..."

Meng Sheng was taken aback.

Can Qing Ye Guichen follow him all the way?
He understood Ye Guichen's intentions in his heart, and was distracted for a moment, and secretly scolded this person for being stupid and impulsive, but he actually came here openly, and he was not afraid of being seen!
He waved his hand angrily, and said directly, "See you, let him go."

The servant just wanted to go out to report, but was stopped by Meng Qingfeng who came out from behind.

Meng Qingfeng asked very puzzled: "Grandpa, why don't you want to see the prince?"

Meng Sheng explained: "He came here just to be a lobbyist for the prince. I never thought of standing on the prince's side, so naturally I don't want to see him."

"Isn't it good to support the prince?"

If Meng Qingfeng has entered the court as an official, he must be on the side of the crown prince.

At this moment, Meng Qingfeng couldn't understand Mengsheng's choice, and said in a deep voice: "The crown prince is the heir of the heir, and he is a legitimate orthodox heir. Supporting the second prince and those people, to put it bluntly, is committing a great treason!"

Meng Sheng was frightened into a cold sweat by his words, and reprimanded with a cold face: "Shut up, what do you know!"

He pushed Meng Qingfeng's head angrily, and said in a solemn tone, "If you dare to talk so nonsense outside, be careful with your head!"

Meng Sheng naturally understood that the crown prince was orthodox.

But the second prince is deeply favored by the emperor, and has powerful relatives to help him, so it's not like he can't compete with the prince...

He didn't dare to make a choice easily.

Meng Sheng made the excuse that he had something to do, and ordered his servants to send Ye Guichen away immediately.

The servant came back not long after he went out, and said, "Master Xiang, the prince said that he came this time not for the affairs of the court, but for a private matter. He wanted to ask the prince to write a eulogy for his mother so that the grave can be moved in the future." Used when engraving a stele."

Meng Sheng's face darkened: "For this..."

Ye Guichen was able to find Mengsheng for this matter because he saw that Mengsheng entered the official position as the number one scholar, and it was said that Mengsheng's policy on filial piety and ethics made the emperor cry.

Meng Sheng couldn't shirk, so he had to invite Ye Guichen in.

Ye Guichen told Meng Sheng about Zhao Qingshu's date of birth, and also told him about his life.

After pondering for a while, Meng Sheng began to write the eulogy.

Ye Guichen stood by the side until Meng Sheng was about to finish writing, and then he said: "Master Xiang's writing is brilliant, if you don't write a letter to ask the second prince to leave Beijing, it's a waste..."

Meng Sheng's writing hand was still calm, and he smiled lightly: "Is this the purpose of your coming today? I have already said that I will not choose any side, and I will not get involved in this matter."

Ye Guichen lowered his eyes slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Don't you think it's inappropriate for the second prince to stay in the capital after getting the fiefdom?"

Meng Sheng didn't answer this question, but said: "The emperor is getting old, and it is human nature to need his son to accompany him."

He was reminding Ye Guichen.

No matter whether this matter is right or not, as long as it is the decision made by the emperor, they, the courtiers, can only obey.

After writing the eulogy, Meng Sheng immediately drove Ye Guichen out.

After returning to the palace, Ye Guichen approached Liu Qingli with the mourning text Gu, and discussed with her: "I can't leave the capital, so I'm afraid you will have to do it for my mother's grave."

Liu Qingli stared at him blankly, and asked disappointedly and sadly: "My lord, in order to let me leave the capital, are you willing to use mother? You know very well that it's about mother, and I can't refuse..."

Ye Guichen persuaded patiently: "Don't think too much, hasn't the matter of moving the grave been discussed a long time ago? You were the one who brought it up at the beginning."

Liu Qingli didn't want to agree.

She felt that if she really left the capital this time, it might not be so easy to come back in the future.

She tried her best to stay, but she had no excuse...

Until Liu Qingli saw the eulogy written by Meng Sheng, her affection was so deep that she unconsciously thought of her poor and miserable mother, and wept for it.

Liu Qingli's eyes were red from crying, and she took the eulogy and asked Ye Guichen: "My lord, can I trouble you to find someone to write a eulogy for my mother?"

"She is just my daughter, but I only visited her once. What I can do for her now is to rebuild her grave. If it is not repaired, I will not leave the capital..."

Ye Guichen knew that this was just an excuse for her to stay.

But seeing her eyes red from crying, looking pitiful and wronged, he couldn't bear to refuse.

Ye Guichen took Meng Qing'er's birthday horoscope and took the opportunity to find Meng Sheng again.

But Meng Sheng heard that this time he was going to write a eulogy for Liu Qingli's mother, so he directly refused.

The person who raised a daughter like Liu Qingli must not be a good person!
Mengsheng is also a literati, so he will not let such a person tarnish his pen and ink.

Ye Guichen sighed, and told Meng Sheng about Liu Qingli's mother's difficulty: "In the end, she is just a poor woman who was deceived by Wang Junsheng, and the daughter she gave birth to was never recognized by that bastard Wang Junsheng in her whole life. "

"She was tortured to death and buried in an unknown country. She was accompanied by wild ghosts in lonely graves every day. She was a poor person. Let Xiangye be a good deed..."

Meng Sheng didn't soften his heart at first, but he cared about what Ye Guichen said, and asked in a solemn voice, "You said, she was deceived by Wang Junsheng?"

Didn't Wang Junsheng keep saying at the beginning that he only had his daughter and one woman in his life?
