Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 510: Domineering Mei Changsu and Threatening Prince Jing

After hearing this, Xie Yu was actually unwilling in his heart. After all, although others did not know about what happened back then, Prince Jing had been thinking about it all these years.

But this was the prince's order, and he had no choice but to bow and accept it.

At this time, Prince Yu on the other side was meeting Mei Changsu.

"Sir, now that I have recommended Prince Jing, what should I do next?" Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, the next thing is actually very simple. It depends on what you want to do." Mei Changsu said

"Oh? What do you mean, sir?" Prince Yu asked
"Your Highness, the evidence in this case is irrefutable. If you don't let anyone stop us, I'm sure we can find out the truth very quickly. Even if Prince Jing really has other ideas, don't we still have Qiu Yuan?"

"So the final outcome of this case has actually been decided now. The only difference is what purpose you want to achieve through this, Your Highness." Mei Changsu said

"Well, of course I want to win over Prince Jing and use him for my own benefit." Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, if this is the case, the first thing to do is to talk to the Ministry of Justice and ask them not to hinder us. Secondly, we should make a feint to the east and attack in the west." Mei Changsu said

"Oh? Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west? What do you mean, sir?" Prince Yu had some guesses after hearing this.

"Your Highness, you have made such a big move this time, the Crown Prince must be aware of it, so I think he must have made preparations and is waiting to disrupt your plans."

"So what you need to do now is to make a two-pronged move, on the one hand go to see Prince Jing, on the other hand go to see Qiu Yuan, so that the Crown Prince will not know which side to prioritize." Mei Changsu said

"Great, great, but sir, I still want to ask, can you help me?" Prince Yu asked meaningfully.
"Your Highness, am I not helping you now?" Mei Changsu said, then stood up and saluted.

Upon seeing this, Prince Yu was overjoyed and quickly stood up to return the gift. Then he laughed and asked his servants to prepare wine and food, but Mei Changsu refused.

"Your Highness, there is no rush for this matter. Let's get down to business first. It won't be too late to drink after we finish the business. I'll leave Qiu Yuan to you. As for Prince Yu, I'll make the trip." Mei Changsu said

"Well, sir, that's what you said. Well, sir, I'll leave everything to you." Yu Wang said
After hearing this, Mei Changsu naturally bowed again, then stood up and left. After he left, the smile on Prince Yu's face never stopped.

A full quarter of an hour later, Prince Yu finally got down to business. He first asked someone to prepare a gift, and then he went out with his guards. Not long after, they arrived at the mansion of Marquis Wenyuan.

When Qiu Yuan learned that Prince Yu had arrived, he naturally hurriedly stood up to greet him. The two exchanged a few words at the door and then went into the study.

"Your Highness, I wonder what instructions you have for coming here?" Qiu Yuan asked politely
"Hey, Commander Qiu, you are too polite. It's not an order. I came here just to find out what my brother plans to do with this case." Prince Yu said
"Well, Your Highness, to be honest, His Highness Prince Jing did not tell me how to deal with this case. The last time he came, he just wanted to understand the situation in the palace." Qiu Yuan said directly
"Hmm? You mean, Jingyan knows the situation in the palace from you?" Prince Yu asked
"Yes, Your Highness. Actually, I am a little surprised. When Prince Jing came the other day, I thought he would ask about the case, but he only asked about the situation in the palace."

"As for the case of Duke Qing, he didn't even mention it, so naturally I didn't say anything either." Qiu Yuan said
"Oh? Is that so? Thank you, Commander Qiu, for clearing up my confusion. I understand now." Prince Yu nodded.
Afterwards, the atmosphere in the study became a little weird. Prince Yu stopped talking, and Qiu Yuan naturally didn't speak either, so both sides remained silent.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, do you have any other instructions? If not?" Qiu Yuan asked
"Commander Qiu, since I'm here today, why don't you talk more? I want to know which one you prefer?" Prince Yu said directly
Qiu Yuan was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Prince Yu to ask this, because no matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like something Prince Yu would ask.

"Your Highness, why do you ask this? This is not like you." Qiu Yuan also asked directly

"Of course I know this is unlike me. I don't know why I asked, but with all the recent events, I guess I made a mistake. Thank you, Commander Qiu, for clearing up my doubts today. Bye." Prince Yu said.
"Your Highness, please stay. Your Highness, since you have asked me this today, I naturally cannot pretend that I don't know. In fact, you shouldn't ask me this question."

"Because my decision doesn't mean anything. From now on, I am not the one who makes the final decision. I think Your Highness should be very clear about this."

"Instead of focusing all your attention on me, why don't you think of other ways? Maybe you will get different results." Qiu Yuan said directly
After hearing this, Prince Yu quickly understood, so he nodded and walked away.

Prince Yu, who came from the Qiu family, was in a rare relaxed mood. He did not expect that his momentary impulse would lead to an answer.

Yes, after he gets married, Qiu Yuan’s decision doesn’t seem to be important. It seems that I still have to think of a way to deal with the Mu family.

At the same time, Prince Jing was also in trouble, and the source of all this trouble was brought by Mei Changsu in front of him.

"Sir, please stop joking with me. You are here today on behalf of Prince Yu. Tell me now, who you really think is the best person for you? Do you think I will believe you?" Prince Jing said directly.
"Your Highness, I think you will, because the child from Yeyouting will make you believe me. If I remember correctly, his name should be Tingsheng, right?" Mei Changsu said with a smile

"You! Do you really think that I dare not kill you?" Prince Jing said sternly with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Haha, Your Highness, of course you don't dare, because if I die, the child and the secret of the child will be lost." Mei Changsu said with a smile

"You, what do you want? Don't tell me you want to assist me!" Prince Jing said
"Your Highness, why don't you believe it? What I said is true. If I didn't have this in mind, then what do you think will happen to that child and Your Highness?" Mei Changsu said

"Why? I still say the same thing, why did you choose me? Why did you choose me instead of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu?" Prince Jing asked
"Haha, the reason is actually very simple, because I am about to die, that's why I chose you. How about this answer, Your Highness, are you satisfied?" Mei Changsu said with a smile

"This is ridiculous! Do you think I will believe you?" Prince Jing said directly
"I don't need you to believe me, I just need you to ascend the throne. As for whether you believe me or not, that is meaningless to me. You don't understand what I want, and you don't need to understand it." Mei Changsu said

"You, even if that's the case, you should know that if that day really comes, you will be the first one to die!" Prince Jing said coldly.
"Hahaha, hahaha, good, good, that's very well said. I'm waiting for that day to come, but you'd better hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid I won't live to see that day."

"Here is a list. You can select them according to the names on the list as your assistants in trying the case this time." Mei Changsu took out the list after he finished speaking.

Prince Jing took the list very reluctantly. Mei Changsu saw his reluctance, so he said directly, "You can use these people with confidence."

"I carefully selected them. They have similar temperaments to yours, and each of them can be regarded as a pillar of talent. Get along well with them, and they will be useful in the future." "I advise you not to lose your temper. Think about your mother first and the child." Mei Changsu said

"You lunatic, what can you gain by doing this favor? What is your motive? Why must this person be me?" Prince Jing questioned
"That's a good question, because you are a complete loser! Because you have been in the business for more than ten years and are still a prince, that's why I chose you."

"Let me be frank. I chose you because you are the most useless prince in the whole of Daliang. If you had been more motivated, I wouldn't have come to you today!" Mei Changsu said coldly.

After hearing this, Prince Jing glared at him, but Mei Changsu ignored him.

"What? Are you still not convinced? Am I wrong? Are you trying to say that you have a few brothers who are just as useless?"

"Yes, they are useless, but you are more useless than them. They just don't make progress, so they don't get the attention of His Majesty. But you are different. Although you are motivated, you make His Majesty hate you."

"As for why I hate you, do I need to tell you? In my opinion, you are a complete idiot. Do you really think that no one else could see the problem with the Chiyan case?"

"No, everyone in the government and the public could see that there was something wrong with this case, but no one said anything. Why do you think that was the case?"

"I'll tell you why. This case itself was His Majesty's intention. The one who wanted the Lin family to die was never a traitor, but your good father!" Mei Changsu said.

"No, you are talking nonsense! This is not true! This is not true!" Prince Jing shouted.
"I'm talking nonsense? Am I talking nonsense, or are you pretending to be confused and unwilling to believe it? I don't care what you think. I said, all I want is to help you get promoted."

"As for what you will do after that, it has nothing to do with me. I am a dying man, and it doesn't matter to me now."

"There is nothing I can do better than supporting a loser like you to ascend the throne." Mei Changsu said

At this time, Prince Jing was kneeling on the ground without saying a word. Mei Changsu just looked at him coldly, also without saying anything. Time passed slowly.

"You, can I trust you? Can you really let me ascend the throne?" Prince Jing said in a hoarse voice.

"Haha, do you have any other choice now? Don't worry, you are my last work before I die. I will do my best to help you."

"But you must remember not to go against my words. Otherwise, there is no need for us to continue. After all, you are not my only choice."

"Okay, Your Highness, remember the list I gave you. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself. It's okay. This is our first contact, and I allow you to question us, but remember, this is the first time and the last time!" After Mei Changsu finished speaking, he stood up and left.

After hearing this, Prince Jing did not say anything, nor did he send Mei Changsu away. He just sat there. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly picked up the list and began to look at it.

At this time, Mei Changsu had already returned to his mansion, and Meng Zhi was already waiting for him there.

"Why are you here so early? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Mei Changsu asked

"It's been a long time, but it doesn't matter. After all, today is such a big thing, I will be worried if I don't tell you about it. So, have you really finished talking to him?" Meng Zhi asked

"Of course, you didn't think I was joking with you before, did you?" Mei Changsu said with a smile

"No, of course not. I know that in the case back then, only Prince Jing really wanted to help. But, aren't the methods you used a bit too cruel?" Meng Zhi said worriedly.
"Is it cruel? I know that, but I have no other choice. I was planning to take it slow, but Qiu Yuan disrupted my previous plan."

"Without the gift, Jingyan won't believe me no matter what I say. After all, he hates these tricks. I can only use this method." Mei Changsu said

"But, but if this happens, in the future he will...?" Meng Zhi said
"Brother Meng, let's talk about the future later. After all, the present is the most important. Only after passing this hurdle can we have a future, right?" Mei Changsu said

"Hey, you, never mind, your arrangements should be complete now, right? Is there anything else you need me to do?" Meng Zhi said helplessly.

"Brother Meng, don't move from now on. You have a special identity and will need your cooperation in many things in the future, so you must not get into any trouble."

"I will take care of the rest. Don't worry. Just do what you did before. Don't do anything unusual." Mei Changsu said.

"Yes, I understand. But Xiaoshu, there is news from the palace that Nihuang's wedding date has been set. Do you really not want to recognize her?" Meng Zhi hesitated.
"Oh? Has it been decided? When will it be? I will have to give you a generous gift then." Mei Changsu said with a smile

"You, did you understand what I was saying? Nihuang is getting married?" Meng Zhi asked
"Brother Meng, I know, I know what you mean. In fact, I don't want her to get married. If I could recognize her now, I would definitely stop her."

"But can I recognize her now? I can't. I'm a wanted criminal of the imperial court and I'm also a sickly person. I don't even know how many years I can live. Why should I delay her?" Mei Changsu said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Meng Zhi spoke for a moment, because he knew that what Mei Changsu said was right, and the current situation seemed to be true.
