It's freezing cold, and the cool breeze blows into my mouth.
The prince left in a hurry and couldn't bear it.
Xu Jing held his arm calmly. The prince suddenly felt much more relaxed and quickly turned his head to look at Xu Jing. Xu Jing whispered: "Cousin, we must save Meng Yushi."
The prince looked solemn and nodded.
Meng Xizhi was born in Tanhua, full of knowledge, upright temperament, and loyal. How could such a loyal minister be killed by the imperial staff?
If Meng Yushi died outside the Jinluan Palace today, the name of Yongming Emperor, a faint emperor, would be completely left in the history of Qing Dynasty.
The prince walked quickly, and the Jinluan Palace was soon in sight.
Murong Shen received the order and applied the imperial staff himself. Every time he struck the staff, he had to stop and ask: "Censor Meng, do you know your mistake?"
Meng Yushi endured the severe pain, raised his head, and shouted loudly: "I ask the emperor to stop building the imperial mausoleum!"
This loud shout penetrated the cold wind and spread into the Jinluan Palace.
All the civil servants looked sad and their eyes were red.
The doctor at Yushitai opened his mouth to plead for Yushi Meng. Emperor Yongming said angrily: "This Meng Xizhi claims to be a loyal minister and will remonstrate to the end. I will help him today to see whether it is the imperial staff or his words. Continue to beat him.
!”
Zhou Shangshu couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down. Soon, all the civil servants knelt down. The generals did not move for the time being. However, Duke Ding's brows tightened, and Wu Anbo and others' expressions did not look good.
The root cause of the imperial staff issue is military pay. The emperor did not lack hungry soldiers. Emperor Yongming refused to stop the construction of the imperial mausoleum and changed his mind to official salaries, which was indeed too much.
However, kneeling down in such a swarm to beg for mercy is not an option.
Emperor Yongming was so angry that he would not listen to anyone's words.
At this time, there is only one person who can persuade the emperor. This person is...
"His Royal Highness is here!"
All the ministers were refreshed and looked over.
His Royal Highness, who is in frail health, walked as fast as flying today and strode into the Golden Palace: "Father, please calm down. If the fight continues, Meng Yushi will really not be able to hold on any longer."
"There has never been a precedent in the Jin Dynasty for a court official to die. Does my father want to leave his name in history for this matter?"
As expected of his own son, he hit the spot on Emperor Yongming's pain point with just one mouthful.
Emperor Yongming's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth: "Jun'er, don't worry about this matter. I, the majestic emperor, the ninth-five-year-old emperor, was pointed at my nose and scolded by a seventh-grade censor today. I can never bear this kind of humiliation!"
If Emperor Yongming did not issue an order, Murong Shen would not stop using the imperial stick. Meng Yushi had received more than ten imperial sticks. He was a civil servant and had never practiced martial arts. Murong Shen's men were merciless and hit him hard with every stick.
.If this continues, at most a few sticks will kill Meng Yushi.
Murong Shen raised his imperial staff high again.
A hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the imperial staff: "Captain Murong, stop!"
The familiar voice reached his ears, and Murong Shen looked over with cold eyes: "The last general has carried out the royal staff according to the order of the emperor, please give way to the crown prince."
Xu Jing didn't move his hands, and his face looked careless: "Colonel Murong's loyalty to the emperor is admirable. However, Yushi Meng is an important minister of the court. If something really happens, can Captain Murong afford it? Your Majesty.
If you are angry now, you will definitely regret it when you calm down. How will Colonel Murong deal with himself then?"
"That's the general's business, I don't have to worry about it." Murong Shen suddenly pushed back.
However, Xu Jing was extremely powerful, and the imperial staff did not move at all in Xu Jing's hand.
What was even more irritating, Xu Jing even tutted: "Colonel Murong is so angry. Could it be that the idea of Tingzhang was given to the emperor by Colonel Murong? This is the behavior of a sycophant. Colonel Murong should just be a human being.
!”
Murong Shen: "..."
Having a verbal argument with Xu Jing will only make you angry to death.
Murong Shen's eyes flashed with anger and he sneered: "It seems that the Crown Prince has made up his mind to protect Yushi Meng today."
Xu Jing looked unofficial and lazy: "You can't say this nonsense. I am a vassal prince, studying in the palace, keeping to myself, and never making friends with courtiers. I am stopping you now because of the consideration of Colonel Murong.
.Lest Captain Murong make an unintentional mistake and regret it later."
The calmness and self-control that Murong Shen was proud of had a tendency to completely collapse when he met Xu Jing.
A group of imperial guards looked over frequently. One of them boldly opened his mouth: "Colonel Lieutenant, we will first "ask" the Crown Prince to move."
Murong Shen's face sank, and before he had time to respond, he heard Xu Jing's angry voice saying, "A good man can't be defeated by four hands. You can bully others with more people!"
Murong Shen: "..."
No matter what, with Xu Jing messing around here, the imperial cudgel will not be able to proceed.
Murong Shen had no expression on his face and let go of his hand.
Xu Jing casually put the imperial staff aside, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to test Meng Yushi's breath.
"I'm not dead," Meng Yushi squeezed out a few words intermittently: "Let him continue to fight, I would rather die outside the Jinluan Palace today."
Xu Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes: "The prince has entered the palace to intercede for you. Don't think about dying to remonstrate. Only by living well can you do more for the people and the Jin Dynasty."
Meng Yushi held on for a breath, but once he relaxed, a burning pain hit his back unceremoniously, and he soon passed out.
This Murong Shen was really ruthless.
Xu Jing frowned, glanced briefly, and called Xiao Xi'er, the chamberlain, over: "Go to the imperial hospital immediately and ask for an imperial doctor."
Xu Jing had a secret relationship with his chamberlain Ma Sansi. Xiao Xi'er was Ma's father-in-law's adopted son, so Xu Jing easily assigned Xiao Xi'er to run errands.
Xiao Xier responded quickly and stepped back quickly.
At this moment, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the Jinluan Palace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Come here, quickly announce the imperial doctor!"
Xu Jing was startled, and before rushing into the Jinluan Palace, he turned around and ordered: "Xu Shiyi, take good care of Meng Yushi."
Xu Shiyi responded quickly.
Xu Jing strode into the Jinluan Palace. At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had fallen unconscious and all the ministers were mourning. Emperor Yongming, who was furious just a moment ago, was also completely panicked. The dragon chair could not sit still, and the chamberlain's
With support, he walked over shakily.
Looking at the unconscious prince, Emperor Yongming was heartbroken and shouted angrily: "Let the imperial doctors enter the palace immediately."
The morning was completely chaotic.
Xu Jing walked to the prince and picked him up: "Your Majesty, the jade ground is cold. I will send my cousin to the bed in the back hall first."
Emperor Yongming was confused and immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Jing was very strong and easily carried his cousin to the back hall.
The "unconscious" Crown Prince moved his right hand quietly and poked Xu Jing's arm with his finger.
Xu Jing gave the prince a thumbs up in his heart, his face still looking anxious and worried.
