Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 543 Explosion Storm
"Well, what you said makes sense. What about the other one? What is the other one?" Prince Yu said
"Your Highness, the other option is to make the matter worse, to the point where Your Majesty has to take drastic measures. In this case, the Crown Prince will definitely not have a good outcome."

"But if we do this, I'm afraid a lot of people will have to be sacrificed." Prajna said directly
"Well, I understand. Although there will be some sacrifices, as long as we can overthrow the crown prince, it will all be worth it. You go back first. I will have someone arrange it now." Prince Yu said directly.
After hearing this, Prajna naturally bowed and left the study. After she left, Prince Yu called his confidants and gave them some instructions.

Time soon came to the third day. On the morning of that day, a loud bang shook the entire capital city. Soon, the specific news was sent everywhere.

At this time in the East Palace, the prince, who had received the news, was loudly scolding his men.

"Waste, all waste, how could it explode? Didn't I ask you to clean it up before? What do you do? Why did it explode?" The prince said directly
"Your Highness, I will not neglect your order. We don't have much business this month. I have already made preparations to close down next month."

"In fact, the things have been moved out one after another. Who knows, who would have taken them away and this would have happened? I am guilty, and I hope Your Highness will punish me." said the official
"Punish, punish, what's the point of me punishing you now? Can it make the explosion disappear? Get out, get out. Oh, and get someone to call Xie Yu to me!" The prince said directly
After hearing this, the official naturally kowtowed to express his gratitude, then got up and left. He now wanted to go find his mother, as only his mother could help him.

"What did you say? A private brothel? Xuan'er, are you crazy? You are a prince, what do you need so much silver for? Are you short of silver? Tell me, do you lack silver?" Concubine Yue questioned.
"Mother, I know I was wrong, please stop scolding me. What do you think I should do now?" The prince asked with a wronged look on his face.

"Are you still feeling wronged? How dare you feel wronged? When will you let me be at ease? I remember that you placed a few imperial censors on Prince Yu's side, right?" Concubine Yue asked directly.

"Yes, mother, there are indeed a few, but they don't seem to be of any use, right?" The prince replied with a puzzled look on his face.
"You, when you go back, ask them to submit a memorial to impeach you. The more serious the impeachment, the better. It would be best if they say they want to depose the crown prince. In short, remember to make His Majesty suspect that this is a factional dispute."

"As long as His Majesty thinks this is a factional dispute between you, then you can still be saved. After all, His Majesty is still very concerned about the training of the future crown prince." Concubine Yue said directly
The prince was overjoyed when he heard this. After thanking his mother, he immediately got up and returned to the East Palace. At this time, Xie Yu had been waiting for a long time.

"Please sit down. Don't stand. I just went to my mother's place. You should have heard everything, right? Now tell me what you think. What do you think we should do now?" The prince said directly.
"Your Highness, at this point, we don't seem to have any good solutions. What we can do now is to make sure His Majesty doesn't connect Shen Zhui's case with the private brothel."

"Otherwise, it would be worse than the previous one. At that time, it would be really difficult to escape. This explosion only killed some civilians."

"Although the number may be larger, it's just that. But Shen Zhui is different. He is a second-rank official in the court. If he is involved, it will be troublesome." Xie Yu said directly
"You've said so much, but you haven't told me. What are you going to do?" the prince said impatiently.

"Your Highness, at this point, there is only one solution, and that is for you to go and see His Majesty right now, take the initiative to admit your mistakes, and beg for His Majesty's forgiveness." Xie Yu said solemnly.

"What? You want me to admit my mistake? Xie Yu, do you know what you are talking about? Are you crazy? How can I admit my mistake at this moment?" the prince said.
"Your Highness, this is the best solution under the current circumstances. Once this happens, Prince Yu will definitely not let it go."

"If you can't get ahead of others and get His Majesty's forgiveness, you won't have a chance once Prince Yu makes a move," Xie Yu said hurriedly.
"I understand. I will consider what you said. You can go back first." The prince said
After hearing this, Xie Yu naturally understood that the prince did not agree with his method in his heart, but he did not persuade him anymore, but obediently left the room.

After all, he had a deep understanding of the person he chose, and he knew the prince's character very well. He would not choose his own path unless he was forced to do so.

But this method of his would be useless once he reached a dead end. He was very clear about this, but he also knew that no matter what he said at this point, the result would be the same.

And in fact, it was true. The prince did not take Xie Yu's words to heart. The reason why he asked Xie Yu was just because he had the habit of keeping a backup plan.

In his opinion, his mother's method was better. He didn't have to admit his mistake and the matter could be settled. So he naturally gave up Xie Yu's method.

Meanwhile, Mei Changsu was facing the questioning from Prince Jing with a serious expression.

"Sir, who do you think was responsible for this explosion?" Prince Jing asked directly.
"Your Highness, in fact, when you asked this question, didn't you already have the answer in your heart? This incident is very unfavorable to the Crown Prince, and since the Crown Prince is in trouble, it is natural that Prince Yu will benefit the most."

"So, who else could have done this except Prince Yu?" Mei Changsu said

"Haha, of course I know all this. What I mean is, who came up with Prince Yu's idea? Was it Prince Yu himself, or you, sir?" Prince Jing stared into Mei Changsu's eyes and said

"Haha, it seems that Your Highness is suspicious of me? But it doesn't matter, I don't blame you, Your Highness, because ever since I came into contact with Your Highness, it has indeed been full of conspiracies and intrigues."

"But this time, it wasn't my idea, because this method is useless. If it were me, I would have a better choice. After all, what's the point of blowing up some civilians?"

"Given your understanding of His Majesty, do you think His Majesty would care? If I were to come up with this idea, I would have to kill at least one or two ministers, or members of the royal family, to make it perfect, right?" Mei Changsu asked with a smile.

Xiao Jingyan was shocked by Mei Changsu's words, so he didn't speak for a while. Who knew that Mei Changsu obviously had no intention of letting him go.

"Your Highness, this is actually a good opportunity for you. I have a way to help you quickly stand out from the crowd. What do you think?" Mei Changsu said.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyan's heart started beating wildly. It's not that he was moved, but he knew very well that what Mei Changsu would say next would be very shocking.

"Your Highness, Prince Yu will definitely have a backup plan for this matter. No matter how the Crown Prince struggles, Your Majesty will punish him, even if Your Majesty knows everything."

"The Crown Prince will not be able to avoid this punishment, and in this way, although Prince Yu is feared by His Majesty, he will win a great victory in the end."

"This is not good news for either the Crown Prince or His Majesty, so now there is an opportunity before you, Your Highness." "As I said just now, this time when Prince Yu took action, only a few civilians died, which is not enough. I think we can definitely help him."

"I think Prince Ji is a good candidate. What would happen if he suddenly died? What do you think His Majesty would do?" Mei Changsu said with a smile

"Enough! Stop talking, stop talking! You are simply a lunatic, a lunatic! I warn you, don't act rashly, especially towards Prince Ji, you are absolutely not allowed to touch him!" Prince Jing said
"Haha, Your Highness, look, I told you before that this idea was not mine because it was too petty. Are you willing to believe me now?" Mei Changsu asked with a smile.
"You, you! Well, I misunderstood you just now, I hope you will forgive me." Prince Jing said
"Haha, Your Highness, some things are not impossible to do, but it depends on whether they are worth doing. Obviously, in my opinion, this matter is not worth doing."

"Compared to what he can gain, Prince Yu will lose more. The first thing he will lose is your majesty's trust. I once said that among all the princes, Prince Yu is the most like your majesty."

"Your Majesty is naturally very clear about this. Although Your Majesty has always been very fond of Prince Yu, he has never really intended to hand over the throne to Prince Yu."

"Because he knows exactly what kind of person he is, and what his son will be like in the future, he can naturally predict it."

"He did something wrong back then. No matter what his motivation was, he wanted peace of mind. But in the case of Prince Yu, your Majesty cannot see peace of mind."

"He is seeing his former self in Prince Yu, and then remembering what happened in the past. Every time he sees Prince Yu, it reminds him of what he did in the past."

"The oath he made, those years, and the final betrayal, all of these, when he sees Prince Yu, he will inevitably think of them all."

"Do you think that under this situation, what good will happen to Prince Yu? He thought that he would have a good impression by being like his father, but he didn't know that this was precisely his biggest failure."

"Your Majesty must know that this incident was done by Prince Yu. This behavior is exactly the same as that of our Majesty when he first ascended the throne."

"That is to say, Prince Yu has once again reminded His Majesty of what happened in the past. Your Highness, how do you think His Majesty feels at this moment?" Mei Changsu asked directly.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyan didn't say anything for a while, because he didn't know what to say. Mei Changsu's words really shocked him.

In fact, Emperor Liang was indeed in a difficult situation at this time, because on his desk suddenly appeared memorials impeaching the prince. These memorials were naturally the prince's means.

But in the eyes of Emperor Liang, this was Prince Yu's relentless pressure. He was forcing him to give a result as soon as possible, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But in this matter, the prince was wrong, and it is impossible to cover it up. After all, there were more than a hundred lives at the feet of the emperor, and this matter is not so easy to let go.

With Prince Yu pressing on step by step, it is even more impossible to make a small matter. However, it is precisely because he knows this that he is a little angry. After all, he is the emperor. How can he be coerced?
So Emperor Liang chose to ignore it, and Prince Yu was also a little confused at this time. He knew those imperial censors, they were all his people, at least in the eyes of his father, they were his people.

In other words, he is now starting to force his father. After having this guess, Prince Yu's face changed instantly. He knew that he had suffered a loss this time.

This time he did not choose to call Prajna, but directly sent someone to find Mei Changsu.

"My Lord, I wonder what kind of trouble you are in?" Mei Changsu asked directly.

"Sir, to be honest, this is what happened. Today, I received news that... That's why I'm a little worried now. I don't know what to do." Prince Yu said directly
"Hmm? Is that so? Your Highness Prince Yu, it seems that those imperial censors are all the prince's men. The prince's intention is very clear, that is, to lead the matter to your Highness."

"This matter is no longer simple, but involves a fight for the throne. You should know that at this time, once it involves a fight for the throne, His Majesty will become particularly cautious."

"When dealing with the Crown Prince, it will be easy to make a big deal out of a small matter, and in the end, Your Highness will have gone through all this trouble in vain." Mei Changsu said directly

"Well, sir, what do you think I should do now?" Prince Yu said
"It's very simple. Since Your Majesty has already determined that these memorials are your intention, then you might as well make it real and actually impeach the Crown Prince."

"It must be publicized, the more people know about it the better, and it must cause a stir in the government and the country." Mei Changsu said

"Sir, but if this happens, wouldn't it be bad for our father?" Prince Yu said worriedly.
"Your Highness, you have no way out now. You should deal with those imperial censors now. This will tell His Majesty that you have no intention of getting involved in this matter."

"In this way, the matter will naturally pass, but the downside is that, Your Majesty, you can only let it go and can no longer say anything related to it."

"Not only you, but also your followers, can no longer speak, because in His Majesty's eyes, you will be seen as going back on your word. But, Your Majesty, are you willing to miss this opportunity?" Mei Changsu said.

After hearing this, Prince Yu did not speak for a while, and Mei Changsu did not urge him, but just sat there quietly waiting.
