Chapter 454: Is It Still Him?
Mei Xiaoren asked, "What else is going on?" ”
The guard said abruptly: "Mrs. Hui, the 60,000 troops mobilized by Wei Guogong before are still marching to Shangjing. ”
"What?" Mei Xiaoren was shocked.
That was originally the soldiers and horses of Wei Guogong to deal with Jiang Ei, and when tens of thousands of soldiers came to the world, he could not only abolish Jiang Ei, the prince, but also deter the ministers, and no one would dare to say a word "no" to him in the capital at that time.
Jiang Rong was also taken aback and asked, "Is it Ji Heng who dies without stiffness, or is it ......?"
"Back to Your Highness, their master should be General Ye."
Jiang Rong was speechless for a moment.
Mei Xiaoren slowly stood up, paced a few steps under the corridor, and said: "Those tens of thousands of troops are the same as the border guards are the henchmen of the Ye family, and now the soldier talisman is in Ye Zhi's hands, once the capital is besieged, no general dares to bring troops to the rescue, and when that time comes, who else dares to go against him in the whole Daning." ”
Jiang Rong asked again: "What about Gu Chuyu, villain, did you send someone to find him?" ”
Mei Xiaoren shook his head.
Jiang Rong now regards Chu Yu as a lifesaver, but Chu Yu wanted to get rid of Ye Zhi in the past, because he was afraid that Ye Zhi would one day gather soldiers and horses from all over the world......
Military power is also something he can't help.
The Prime Minister's Mansion used to hold the military power because of the military talisman in hand, but the Prime Minister's Mansion was notorious, except for the Zhu family, there was no military general who was loyal to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but since the Wei scholar and his wife reconciled, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhu family were also estranged, and it really made trouble, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was also isolated.
"Did you think I should have given him the talisman in the first place?" Jiang Rong blamed himself more and more, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no choice at that time.
If he didn't give it, Ye Zhi would continue to bring down Wei Guogong at that time? If Ye Zhi chooses to stop fighting, then his position as the crown prince will be suspended, and his life will be even more ......
Mei Xiaoren looked at the sunset and sighed: "Don't mention the things that have become facts." ”
She walked slowly back and forth in the corridor. The person who knows Ye Zhi best in the whole Daning should be her, and now even she feels that Ye Zhi is unfamiliar, and it is a hidden danger for the talisman to be placed in Ye Zhi.
She's made it this far, and she can't afford to fall short.
"I'll go find him."
Mei Xiaoren made up his mind and said he would leave.
Wei Guogong lost power, and the situation in the capital changed, but it became more and more cloudy.
Mei Xiaoren walked on the street, only to see the people's houses closed, and there were forbidden troops coming and going on the street, but there were not a few passers-by.
From time to time, the forbidden army also carried one or two criminals passing by, frightening passers-by to flee in all directions, for fear of inviting disaster.
She walked along the side of the street without any face-to-face with the forbidden army, but the sharp-eyed general of the forbidden army who led the team stopped and gave up his hand when he saw her.
At first, there was no sound on the street except for the hurried footsteps of the forbidden army, but Mei Xiaoren suddenly heard a shout in his ears:
"Madame, save us, ma'am......"
She looked for the sound and saw that the forbidden army was escorting the officials of the six departments. Even if Shangshu was not among them, they were also ministers attached to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she couldn't ignore them.
Mei Xiaoren walked head-on.
The generals of the forbidden army silently surrendered.
"Why did you arrest them?" She asked.
"The general said that they are all remnants of the Guogong Mansion, and they must be removed."
"Guogong Mansion, they are obviously ......" Mei Xiaoren suddenly paused and stopped talking, because she thought of a sentence called "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add".
It doesn't matter which side they are, what matters is that they are Ye Zhi's stumbling block.
The general only said: "We will escort them to the barracks and retire first." ”
Mei Xiaoren stood on the side of the road and didn't move, now she can't save anyone, even if she forces the forbidden army to release people, the forbidden army can still arrest them again, save people on the street and cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and the bell must be tied to the bell.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the East City.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has many eyes and ears, and when she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she already knew where Ye Zhi was at this time, but it was a place she didn't expect.
He was not in the barracks, nor in any yamen, nor at home, but in the Zuixia Building at the entrance of Dongshi Street.
Drunken Xianju is a place to eat, and Zuixialou is a place for dignitaries to have fun.
Zui Xia hugged did not open the door to do business today, but there were many forbidden troops standing outside the door, heavily guarded.
Mei Xiaoren stepped forward, but the forbidden army just bowed and retreated to make way, and no one stopped her.
She paused outside the closed door and was silent for a moment before pushing it open.
The old bustard came to greet him: "Yo, this girl, we don't accept guests here today, not to mention that we didn't welcome female guests in the past." ”
"I'm looking for General Ye."
The old bustard was stunned for a moment, looked her up and down and asked, "You are looking for a general, who are you a general?" ”
Mei Xiaoren only said: "Old man." ”
The old bustard looked at her a few more times, and then responded: "You wait." With that, he walked upstairs.
Mei Xiaoren looked inside aimlessly, the lobby on the first floor was empty, there was not a single guest, there were no girls, only the sound of music wafting upstairs.
After a while, the old bustard came down and raised his hand to signal Lou, "Girl, please." ”
Under the guidance of the old bustard, Mei Xiaoren went to the private room on the third floor, and the sound of music came from this room endlessly.
The bustard knocked on the door and called, "General, the people have arrived." ”
"Come in."
Mei Xiaoren could hear that this was Ye Zhi's voice.
The guards outside pushed open the door one by one, and the sound of silk and bamboo became clearer and clearer.
The door opened, and Mei Xiaoren stood here, just in time to see the distinguished guest sitting on the main seat.
The room was extremely spacious, filled with music and the sound of a woman's bright laughter. Many dancing girls were dancing in the hall, and some flower girls were clustered around him to feed him drinks and serve him vegetables.
Mei Xiaoren remembered that Ye Zhi used to blush even if he looked at a girl more, let alone mingle with a dusty woman.
He has changed completely, and he has become almost unrecognizable to her......
Mei Xiaoren stepped in, furrowing his eyebrows and looking solemn.
The whole room was filled with the smell of fat powder, and the dancing girl danced barefoot on the stall, dancing vigorously, not stopping because anyone came in.
Mei Xiaoren didn't look at anyone, walked through the ups and downs of the jade arm, and walked straight to the desk to stand still.
"Come, General have another drink." The flower girls diligently poured wine for Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi's amount of wine was very good, and Mei Xiaoren knew that he was not drunk, but he kept his eyes calm and did not look at her, nor did he refuse the wine glasses that were brought to his mouth one after another.
Mei Xiaoren couldn't wait, so he spoke first: "Ye Zhi, I have something to say to you." ”
He still didn't react.
The flower girl who accompanied the wine was impatient, and threw her sleeves and complained: "Who are you, don't disturb the young general drinking, let's leave quickly." ”
The flower girl on the side echoed, "That's it, general, don't pay attention to her, let's continue." ”
"Ye Zhi!" Mei Xiaoren shouted loudly.
The women were silent for a moment, and then they all contemptuous of her, "What are you calling, I really don't understand the rules!" ”
Ye Zhi's face sank a little, but the flower girls didn't notice it, and still sent wine to Ye Zhi's mouth.
