Wandering the Heavens

"The Crown Prince has the Marquis of Ningguo, and Prince Yu has the Duke of Qingguo. And Prince Mu's Mansion is the military force he carefully selected for Prince Jing." Yu Xian said lightly.

Mu Nihuang felt more and more upset. The person he had missed for more than ten years had now turned into a calculating conspirator. He schemed against everyone, but gave the last bit of respect to the culprit who had caused all his suffering.

"Jiang Zuo Meilang, what a great Jiang Zuo Meilang." Mu Nihuang's tears flowed down.

"You should be thankful that what you miss is the always high-spirited Lin Shu, not the current Mei Changsu." Yu Xian didn't expect the child to react so strongly.

The lethality of white moonlight!

The years were peaceful in Prince Mu's mansion, but a storm was brewing in Jinling City, which was caused by Prince Jing.

Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan has not been doing well recently. His father has asked him several times about the progress of the land invasion case, and also threw the matter of the Lanyuan corpse case to him. Now he has completely entered the sight of the crown prince and Prince Yu. Prince Yu has an unclear attitude and is polite on the surface. He reprimanded the Minister of Justice for his incompetence in front of him.

It's hard to say about the crown prince. He was always weird when he attended court and always made trouble when he tried a case. The two powerful princes had screwed him over.

Even if he got in touch with Shen Zhui and Cai Quan at this time, it would not be of much use. Shen Zhui had a royal background so no one dared to make things difficult for him.

Cai Quan was born in a poor family and had a hard time. He was bullied in the workplace to the point of doubting his life. When he got off work and returned home, he saw his door had been splashed with filth and littered with dead rats. There were also thugs running to the gate of the government office, saying that he had borrowed high-interest loans and had not repaid them. A brothel woman brought her child and said it was his biological child who came to recognize him as his father.

It's really bullying honest people.

Xiao Jingyan was really angry. Without informing Mei Changsu, he directly mobilized his personal guards to take away the files of the land invasion case and the Lanyuan corpse hiding case. At the same time, he took over the Ministry of Justice and imprisoned the Minister of Justice. He led Cai Quan and Shen Zhui to quickly and decisively try the two cases, and hurriedly submitted the case closure memorial without review by the Dali Temple, the Censorate, or the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as Prince Jing left, the impeachment memorials against him piled up like a mountain on Xiao Xuan's desk. Needless to say, everyone knew who did it.

Then the three brothers, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan, Duke Qing, and Minister of Revenue Lou Zhijing, were sent to prison together, along with Cai Quan, Shen Zhui and other officials who handled the case.

When Mei Changsu heard the news, he almost passed out.

There is a big difference between being in the court and being in the military camp. This time, he was asked to preside over the land invasion case in order to leave a good impression in front of the neutral court officials. However, after repeated setbacks, he mobilized private soldiers in Nanjing to seize the files of the Ministry of Justice and occupied the Ministry of Justice for three days. What is the difference between this and seeking death, but there is no way to be anxious. At this time, no one can speak for him, and he can only deal with it coldly.

Moreover, during the three days when he occupied the Ministry of Justice, the court was calm and peaceful. Not even one person came out to report to the emperor. It was obvious that this was a trap for him.

Mei Changsu, who had recovered, immediately tried to find a way to eliminate the impact of this incident. He wanted to use Prince Yu or one of the Crown Prince's capable men as a target to draw the fire away.

Before Mei Changsu decided who to attack, he learned an absurd news: Prince Yu wrote a letter to plead for Prince Jing and impeached the Minister of Justice.

It was well known that the Minister of Justice was his man. He personally wrote a letter to impeach this man for his incompetence, which delayed the progress of the two cases, leading to the incident of Prince Jing snatching the files of the Ministry of Justice. He suggested removing the Minister of Justice from his position and releasing and appeasing Prince Jing, so as not to hurt the heart of someone who worked loyally for the court.

Xiao Xuan felt that his son was being taken away from him, and finally Prince Yu resorted to a self-torture trick and knelt down at the entrance of the hall to plead for Xiao Jingyan.

This move made the prince stunned. He didn't believe that Prince Yu would treat Prince Jing as a brother. Who would he be putting on a show for? No matter what, Prince Yu did this, and the prince couldn't get off the stage. He quickly submitted a memorial impeaching Lou Zhijing, as well as his own self-criticism, and pleaded for Prince Jing, and then knelt at the door of the hall where the court was held.

The ministers rolled their eyes. This is truly a family with a loving father and filial son, and brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other!

When Xiao Xuan saw this embarrassing incident involving the royal family, he was worried that it would be laughed at if it spread to other countries, so he quickly found a few old foxes to discuss the matter, and they came up with the following results: Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan brought his private soldiers to snatch the files of the Ministry of Justice, and was ordered to be imprisoned in Prince Jing's Mansion for three months. All his private soldiers were dismissed and handed over to Meng Zhi for reorganization; Lou Zhijing was executed immediately; Duke Qing was stripped of his title, his entire family was exiled, and his property was confiscated.

The detained officials handling the case were released without charge.

He was dismissed from his post as Minister of Justice, but he will temporarily be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. This is just a heads-up, don't take it seriously, he will have to be reinstated in the end.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu were unable to distinguish right from wrong, and disregarded the law to defend their brothers who had made mistakes. They even had the intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate and threatened him. They were ordered to be confined to their homes for three days.

How do you say this treatment?

Anyway, Prince Yu was very happy. He stepped on Prince Jing who wanted to stand out. He was imprisoned for three months, which cut off his possibility of participating in the recent court affairs. Although he lost the Duke of Qing, he saved the Minister of Justice. The prince followed him to make trouble, so he was at a disadvantage.

Then the prince was very unhappy. He had lost the Minister of Revenue, and his own purse was empty, so he could only find a way to push his own people to the position.

However, before he could find the right person, Prince Yu intervened. This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes changed his character and actually recommended Shen Zhui to take over the Ministry of Revenue. Although Shen Zhui did not appreciate his kindness, Shen Zhui would not pay attention to the prince's side. After all, he had the upper hand.

Xiao Xuan called him in and asked him some questions, and then called up the affairs he had handled. After comprehensive evaluation, he found that Shen Zhui had enough background and ability, but his qualifications were not enough, so he was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

When the prince heard that the Ministry of Revenue was used as a favor by Prince Yu, he was so angry that he smashed several vases.

Things were beyond Mei Changsu's expectations. After making sure that Prince Jing was safe, he first stabilized his own situation, moved out of Ningguo Marquis' Mansion and lived in the house carefully selected for him by Meng Zhi. He also started digging a tunnel to Prince Jing's Mansion. When the tunnel was almost dug through, he had to suspend the project because the problem was on Prince Jing's side.

Prince Jing's days in imprisonment were very difficult, but fortunately he had lived in the military camp for many years, so such days were still bearable. It would have been even better if he had not been followed by two young eunuchs appointed by Gao Zhan himself.

What he could not tolerate the most was that Xiao Xuan sent several old men who were well-read in poetry and books to teach him the truth and make him realize the mistake of the Ministry of Justice in leading troops to occupy the city.

Thinking of the various sorrows he had experienced these days, he was now being nagged by a few corrupt scholars who said he had done something wrong. He had to resist the urge to rebuke these people every day. When he was being embarrassed by the Minister of Justice and his subordinates, why didn't they educate those people instead of lecturing him here now?

No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you have to get through these difficult three months.

In Prince Mu's Mansion, Mu Nihuang and her brother were stunned by the farce in Jinling in recent days. Yu Xian had actually used a woman, Qin Prajna, to stir up a whole city with two cases and even caused a mutiny. It is conceivable that if he simply wanted to disrupt the world, countless people would have died.

"Sister, from now on, I will do whatever Mr. Yu says." Mu Qing said while swallowing hard.

"I just now realize how good he is to us." Mu Nihuang also sighed.

Where can you find someone who can teach you how to rebel, conquer the world, and govern the world? Although his words are a bit harsh, he is telling the truth.
