Chapter 280

Although Lian Yi was warned by Ye Guichen not to talk too much with Liu Qingli.

But facing Liu Qingli's questioning, after hesitating for a moment, he still told the truth.

Only then did Liu Qingli understand that Ye Guichen was trying to convince Meng Sheng for the prince, and only when Meng Sheng joined them would their odds of winning be greater and it would be safer.

For Ye Guichen, Liu Qingli took the initiative to meet Meng Sheng.

Seeing that she was able to come to him, Meng Sheng was very happy, and even felt a little at a loss when entertaining her: "Qingli, do you have any favorite food? Tell me, and I will let the kitchen make it for you right away!"

Liu Qingli said awkwardly: "Don't bother, I came to you because I want to ask you for help..."

She had quarreled with Meng Sheng too many times, and they both scolded each other a lot of nasty words, so it was inevitable that she would be a little awkward sitting face to face.

Meng Sheng looked very excited: "Whatever, just tell me, grandpa will definitely help you."

Liu Qingli gritted her teeth, and said frankly: "I... came here for the prince. If possible, I hope you can help the prince, but if you find it difficult, forget it."

Meng Sheng was very happy at first, but when he heard that Liu Qingli came for Ye Guichen, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Even so, he still couldn't refuse Liu Qingli, and promised: "I said that day, I will help him."

To help Ye Guichen is to help Liu Qingli, this point, Meng Sheng can still see clearly.

He used to remain neutral and didn't want to cause trouble for his upper body, but now if the second prince succeeds in ascending the throne, the prince will be the first to suffer.

And the most powerful person in the crown prince's hands is Ye Guichen, and the second prince will naturally not let him go.

At that time, Liu Qingli and Liu Yi'an may also be implicated.

Of course Mengsheng was reluctant, for the sake of these two relatives, he had to stand by the prince with Ye Guichen.

the next day.

Meng Sheng personally wrote a letter, asking the emperor to send the second prince out of the city on the grounds that the second prince was old enough to go to the fiefdom.

He even said bluntly that the emperor doted on the second prince too much, and he was reluctant to let the second prince out of Beijing, which was against the rules.

Zhou Yongxu and others were dumbfounded when they heard this.

None of them expected that Meng Sheng would suddenly attack the second prince.

Now is really a critical time, if the second prince is allowed to leave Beijing at this moment, then all their previous plans will be in vain!
As soon as Meng Sheng expressed his attitude, many ministers who were originally neutral also joined in.

The prince also arranged for two confidantes to instigate in the crowd, making sure that the emperor agrees to send the second prince away.

But the emperor was very hesitant, and he still couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Meng Sheng said fiercely: "Your Majesty, it is a rule set by the founding emperor for the prince to entrust the land when he grows up. If the second prince breaks the rule, will the prince and queen be able to live in the palace forever? "

The emperor's body was already weak, and he couldn't breathe after hearing Mengsheng's fierce condemnation, he kept patting his chest and gasping for breath.

Meng Sheng simply led a group of people to kneel down, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the rules cannot be broken!"

Now that he has decided to take this step, Meng Sheng has nothing to be afraid of, and said directly: "The second prince has been staying in the capital, and he has been instigated by villains with intentions. Become a hidden danger, Your Majesty, you can no longer indulge the Second Prince!"

"As a king, Your Majesty should consider letting the second prince abide by the rules, so that he can serve as a model and example for the people. As a father, your majesty should not spoil the second prince too much and ignore His Highness the Crown Prince, causing the brothers to be divorced. Your majesty..."

The emperor was furious, picked up the thing in front of him and threw it at him: "Presumptuous, shut up!"

Everyone didn't expect that Meng Sheng would dare to say such outrageous words and offend the emperor, they all shut up their mouths in fright, and no one dared to intercede for him.

Meng Sheng was not afraid of angering the emperor, and knelt on the ground with his back straight: "Your Majesty, as long as you let the second prince leave the capital, I am willing to sue the old man and return home to apologize..."

The emperor was so angry that he was trembling all over, and angrily said: "Are you threatening me? You are so bold, so bold..."

Meng Sheng has a very high prestige in the court, and many young talents who have just become officials are still his students.

If Meng Sheng was to retire and return to his hometown at this time, not to mention that no better candidate for the prime minister could be found in a short time, the spittle stars of these civil servants could drown the emperor.

Therefore, Meng Sheng's words, in the eyes of the emperor, are a naked threat!

The emperor was so angry that his face turned red, and after losing his temper, he coughed violently and said angrily: "Get out, get out of here, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Meng Sheng didn't expect it to come to such a point, the emperor still refused to give an accurate word, he was very disappointed.

The emperor was in poor health, and was escorted down to court after a while.

The court officials were still arguing, discussing whether the second prince should leave Beijing or not.

Others felt that Meng Sheng was too aggressive.

Under the current situation, no one dared to come and talk to Meng Sheng. After a while, there were only Meng Sheng, the crown prince and Ye Guichen left in the hall.

The prince took the initiative to invite Meng Sheng to walk with them. On the way, the prince couldn't help sighing: "The situation is worse than Gu imagined. I didn't expect the father to be so partial to the second brother."

Even the letters written by the officials could not change his mind.

Ye Guichen was not too worried.

He comforted Mengsheng and the prince and said: "The current situation is beneficial to us, even if the emperor did not explicitly let the second prince leave the capital, after this incident, some people who were originally watching will silently stand by the prince."

The crown prince agrees with this point, those people who joined Meng Sheng in the hall just now have already belonged to his camp.

But with these alone, the prince felt that it was not enough.

Ye Guichen knew what the prince was thinking, so he didn't need to worry, as long as the second prince didn't make any changes, they couldn't take the initiative to act.

Ye Guichen said in a deep voice: "Since remonstrance is useless, there is only one way left for the two sides to go."

I just hope that the emperor doesn't want to see the tragic scene of bloodshed all over the city once the palace changes.

And the other side.

Zhou Yongxu and the others were also very proud, thinking that the emperor was interested in the second prince by rejecting all opinions and not letting the second prince leave Beijing, so they relaxed their vigilance, thinking that the emperor's abolition of the prince would be just around the corner.

Results that afternoon.

The emperor directly ordered the second prince to leave Beijing as soon as possible!
As soon as this news came out, many people couldn't sit still!

People from the second prince's faction also suspected that the emperor was threatened by the prince and Ye Guichen before issuing this order.

As everyone knows, the emperor just didn't want to see the tragedy of the palace change, as Ye Guichen guessed.

The second prince was holding the imperial decree, his eyes were full of ferociousness, and he cursed darkly: "Meng Sheng, an old man, actually helps the prince to confront His Highness, he really deserves to die!"

The people below seemed to have gotten used to his cursing a long time ago, and their expressions didn't change a bit.

The second prince said sinisterly again: "When His Highness becomes emperor, he will be the first to kill him."

The originally cowardly and timid second prince had changed into a different person at some point.

Originally, the second prince didn't want to be an emperor at all. He was cowardly, spoiled since he was a child, and knew nothing.

But the emperor's love for him made his mother, concubine and relatives have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Even if the second prince had no idea anymore, they still supported the second prince step by step to get to where he is today!

Zhou Yongxu waited until the second prince had finished cursing, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, our biggest opponent is not the prince, but Ye Guichen, and Ye Guichen has the military power in his hands, which is the biggest obstacle on our way to launch an uprising! We must win!" Get rid of him first."

The second prince thought of Ye Guichen who was always refusing to look him in the eye with a contemptuous look by his side, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He gathered everyone together to discuss a plan to kill Ye Guichen.
