I'm not always the one in Langya list

Mei Changsu wandered around, and although there were still wailing sounds in his ears, there were no people living on the street.Tents were set up next to each other along both sides of the road, and officers and soldiers were holding pots of steaming food and distributing them from tent to tent.The smell of herbs wafted from the other side of the street, and stretchers covered with white cloths were being carried out at the same time.

"It's nothing if it's a battlefield, but this is the prosperous imperial capital of Daliang Kingdom, so the scene is a bit tragic." Mei Changsu sighed, "Your Highness has really worked hard."

"They are all hard-working ordinary people. No one knows that the next door to their house is a gunpowder depot." Prince Jing also sighed, and signaled Lie Zhanying to back down, "Maybe it's just a matter of time, and it can be more than that." Just one day…”

Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows, "What does Your Highness mean by that?"

"Shen Zhui was very happy to tell me yesterday that he finally found out the fact that the crown prince and Lou Zhijing of the Ministry of Households set up a private cannon workshop to make huge profits, but he has no right to seal it up immediately, so he has already reported it to the sage and requested His Majesty graciously approved Jingzhao Yin's House to assist in the confiscation of this private cannon workshop, confiscate the stolen money, and apprehend the suspects. He said confidently at the time that Zhu would approve it within a day or two. Unexpectedly... the booklet was handed in only a day ago, To have such a tragic accident that wiped out hundreds of lives in the blink of an eye...and for most of them, it was a disaster that was justified."

Mei Changsu gave him a deep look, "Your Highness thinks this is an accident?"

Prince Jing's eyes froze for an instant, and he slowly turned his head to look directly at Mei Changsu's face, his tone was cold and cold: "What is Mr. Su implying?"

"As Shen Zhui's successor, he is committed to impeaching his predecessor. No matter how many people testify, it is nothing more than a corruption case. The prince is a prince after all. No matter how His Majesty reprimands him, the punishment will definitely be wrong. It doesn't hurt. But now that a cannon fires, the matter is known to everyone. After all, it is hundreds of lives. The people's feelings and grievances will soon become a turmoil. I'm afraid the punishment the crown prince will receive will be worse than It was much more serious before. Your Highness, please think carefully, if this case becomes serious, the crown prince will definitely suffer, so who will benefit?"

"Just to increase the weight of beating the prince, Yu Wang regards human life as nothing?" Jing Wang's complexion was tense, and the anger under his skin gradually filled, and his lips were drawn into lines like iron.After bitterly muttering to himself, he suddenly turned his doubtful gaze to Mei Changsu, "Is this Mr. Su's conspiracy for King Yu?"

At first, Mei Changsu thought he had heard wrongly, turned his head to look at Prince Jing, and then slowly realized that what he said was indeed what he had heard.Although it was misunderstood, and in terms of the situation, it was not too much to be angry about, but for some reason, Mei Changsu felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he forced himself to endure it for a while before he said coldly: "No. After the incident happened, I investigated and speculated."

King Jing saw that his face was downcast, his tone was very cold, he knew he had said something wrong, he felt apologetic, and hurriedly said: "I misunderstood, sir, don't worry."

Mei Changsu calmly turned his head to one side, looked at the collapsed houses blackened by the thick smoke, and did not speak.Prince Jing had always been aloof and arrogant, and after he apologized, he was ignored and refused to say another sentence, and the scene immediately turned cold.

At this time, an internal historian in Prince Jing's mansion ran over and reported, "My lord, my subordinates have been ordered to investigate. In addition to the supplies paid for by the inner courtyard of the mansion, a total of 450 tents and [-] quilts were spent on the military account. Bed. These are all military resources, do you want to report them to the Ministry of War?"

"Thanks for your reminder, otherwise I would have forgotten. Although this is not a big deal, it's better to report to the Ministry of War."

"Yes." Just as Nei Shi was about to salute and leave, Mei Changsu suddenly said something in a low voice. Because his voice was so low, even Prince Jing, who was only a step away from him, was a little uncertain at first if he heard it right. Glancing at him, he saw that the other party's eyes were lowered, his expression was quiet, and he didn't mean to say it again, so he couldn't help but move slightly, and said to the inner history: "You have a lot of things in your hands, just treat it as the king who forgot. , You also forgot, there is no need to report to the Ministry of War for the time being."

For such a strange order, Nei Shi really couldn't think of the reason, and opened his mouth in surprise for a long time, until King Jing frowned, and then hurriedly agreed with "Yes", and left quickly.

When he walked away, Jing Wangfang slowly asked: "You know, sir, although this batch of military funds has been allocated to me, but it is used for resettling these victims, and it has been embezzled for him. According to the rules, the Ministry of War should be notified. , why did you say no to the report?"

"Is it wartime?"

"No."

"Is this a large batch of military funds?"

"It's almost nothing in terms of numbers."

"Can't tents and quilts be recycled after use?"

"Of course it will be taken back in the end?"

"When it's not a war, borrowing a few tents and quilts to go out, what's the big deal?"

"Although the matter is small, it should be informed according to the system..."

"So what if you don't tell me?"

Prince Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Sir, you should know that the Ministry of War is the Crown Prince's sphere of influence. Although this fault is small, once it is caught by the Ministry of War, I'm afraid it will still have its roots in me."

"I just want them to participate in you." Mei Changsu turned sideways, facing Prince Jing head-on, "Your Highness is anxious for justice and shows mercy to the disaster victims. Is this a bad thing?"

"of course not……"

"His Royal Highness has done good deeds, but the mistakes he made are only small and not worth mentioning. The Ministry of War can clearly understand His Highness's negligence, but they insist on holding on to it. When this lawsuit is brought to the cabinet, the courtiers will think that Is it your highness that you have committed an unforgivable crime, or is the prince using the hand of the Ministry of War to suppress you?" Mei Changsu had a sneer on his lips, "It is far from the crown prince who can cover the sky with one hand. If the Ministry of War wants to join you, you just need to admit your mistake and admit it Things are urgent and complicated, just a moment of negligence will do, even if King Yu doesn't show up, there will naturally be Geng Jie's courtiers who will come out to speak for you, what is there to worry about?"

Prince Jing proudly said: "I'm not afraid of what the Ministry of War will do to me. No matter how strict the father is, I don't take this little crime seriously. It's just that this omission can be avoided. Why do you have to make such a fuss?" out?"

Mei Changsu's smile was even colder, "How can we not make trouble? Now that there are so many courtiers, most of their eyes are fixed on the Prince and King Yu, how many people will really notice what His Highness is doing? Although it is doing more things and talking less , but if you don’t say it yourself, let others say it. It’s okay to let others say it. When the Ministry of War’s complaint is filed, the emperor and courtiers will notice that when the crown prince and King Yu are biting and tearing each other, who is controlling the scene? Stability among the people? Who is going to be attacked even though they are silent and uncontested? Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and there will be a public opinion on what is right and what is wrong. On the other hand, if Your Highness reports to the Ministry of War now, although things are done seamlessly, But the effect is just the opposite, and His Highness's good deeds are buried in vain, like a night walk in brocade, no one knows."

King Jing frowned with two handsome thick eyebrows, and said: "This king does not do these things for others to see."

Mei Changsu sneered a few times, and said: "If you think it is for others to see before you do it, it is a matter of His Highness's virtue, but if no one knows after you have done good deeds, then I am useless as a counselor. ...Even if it is for Su, please feel wronged, Your Highness."

King Jing heard his sarcasm, but his words were very sharp. Knowing that his temperament was not calm just now, he was not annoyed, and said indifferently: "Mr. Well, let’s do everything as you say.”
