Chapter 20
Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan were talking about something when a servant came to report, "Master, last night on New Year's Eve, the eunuch sent by the emperor to deliver New Year's food was killed outside the palace wall."
Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu looked at each other, Xiao Jingyan said, "What else can I find out?"
"The emperor blamed Commander Meng for his dereliction of duty. He was still lying on the bed with a cane of twenty slaps." The servant cupped his hands and said, "He still has 30 days to solve the case, otherwise there will be other serious problems."
Xiao Jingyan nodded and waved for him to go down. Xiao Jingyan put the plum blossoms in his hands behind his back, then looked at Mei Changsu and said, "What does Mr. Su think about this?"
With his hands in his sleeves, Mei Changsu raised his eyes and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is still so ruthless."
Xiao Jingyan slightly curled his lips into a smile, and then just nodded slowly. "As soon as this case comes out, Commander Meng is in a dire situation. Do I need to enter the palace to intercede for him?"
Mei Changsu lowered his eyebrows, raised his hand and said, "No need." He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There is no need to go to the palace to intercede. What I am worried about is not the current situation of Commander Meng, but the future development of this case."
"Future development?" Xiao Jingyan held the plum blossom branch tightly and looked at him.
"That's right." Mei Changsu slowly turned his back and said, "The emperor will not doubt Commander Meng's ability to lead the Jin army and guard the palace because of this case."
"Mr. Su is worried that if Commander Meng can't break it within [-] days, the punishment will be increased?" Xiao Jingyan said.
"If the old case remains unsolved and a new case arises, the emperor's trust in Big Brother Meng will decrease. This is what I'm really worried about." Mei Changsu turned to look at Xiao Jingyan and said.
Xiao Jingyan frowned, "What is the murderer going to do?"
Mei Changsu was silent for a while and then said, "The murderer's motive for committing the crime is hard to determine now, maybe it was to challenge the imperial authority, or maybe it was to test the defense of the imperial army so that they can act in the future, or maybe it was aimed at Big Brother Meng. .”
Xiao Jingyan lowered his head, played with the plum blossom in his hand, and then handed it to Mei Changsu, "Mr. Su has a thorough understanding, but who do you think would have done it?"
Mei Changsu looked up at him and said, "Actually, I think the main purpose of this case is to weaken the emperor's trust in the imperial army. Once the imperial army is weakened, there will be a chance to control the imperial city." Mei Changsu couldn't help approaching him and said, " The person who most wants to control Miyagi must be the person closest to the center of power!"
Xiao Jingyan blinked slightly, smelling the faint scent of medicine on Mei Changsu's body, he took a deep breath and said, "Prince and King Yu?"
Mei Changsu nodded and took a step back, "That's right, one of the two." He continued, "It's just that King Yu doesn't have a military force in his hands right now, so even if Brother Meng is to be dismounted, he doesn't have anyone who can replace him, but... ...the prince has someone in his hands."
"Ning Guohou, Xie Yu!" Xiao Jingyan paused every word.
Mei Changsu nodded, "Xie Yu is a first-rank military monkey. He has never been involved in party disputes and has won the trust of the emperor. Once the imperial army is suppressed and Brother Meng dismounts, the position of commander of the imperial army will naturally fall into his hands. However. …”
"But what?" Xiao Jingyan asked.
"However, the emperor is clear enough to not take Brother Meng's position so easily. I'm afraid that this matter will be linked with seizing the throne." Mei Changsu frowned tightly. "This is breaking the emperor's taboo...No, I'm going to visit Prince Yu's Mansion."
Mei Changsu had just taken two steps when he felt his arm being pulled by someone. He looked back and saw that it was Xiao Jingyan, not thinking about it.Mei Changsu said, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Xiao Jingyan was also quite surprised by his actions. At first he saw Mei Changsu frowning tightly, and wanted to reach out to smooth his brows, but when he saw that he was about to leave, he couldn't help reaching out and holding him, Xiao Jingyan Said, "King Yu is not such an impulsive person, Mr. Su, don't be impatient."
"But I'm worried..." Mei Changsu frowned slightly.
Before Xiao Jingyan let go of his arm, he pulled him to the side, King Jing said, "Come Mr. Su, tea is not served yet, let's go into the room."
It was rare for Mei Changsu to be so close to the person in his dream, so he couldn't help losing his mind, then nodded, and replied, "Okay."
Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu entered the study, and servants came to serve tea.Mei Changsu took a sip and knew it was Wuyi tea.He was taken aback and said, "How does Your Highness know that I love Wuyi tea?"
"There are quite a few Wuyi teas in the mansion, but we have lost the person who drinks this tea the most." Xiao Jingyan's expression froze slightly, a little hurt.
Mei Changsu held the teacup tightly, and then slowly put it down, "Your Highness, don't be sad, the old man is gone, and a new man will take his place."
Xiao Jingyan blinked his eyes with water in his eyes, and nodded, "If everyone is as thorough as Mr. Su, there would be no need for so many troubles in the world." Xiao Jingyan suddenly raised his eyes, "Mr. The newcomer of this king?"
Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly coughed in a low voice.Xiao Jingyan hastily patted him on the back, "This king is just a joke, which scares Mr. Su."
Mei Changsu blocked his arm with his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I just choked myself."
Xiao Jingyan sat up straight and drank tea slowly.There was a moment of silence between the two.
