Ye Zhi asked Mei Xiaoren to persuade Jiang Rong to hand over the jade seal, but Mei Xiaoren did not do this as an errand, let alone enter the palace to find Jiang Rong, but invited a few Shangshu adults to come over to discuss.

Since the turmoil in Beijing, this is the first time she has met with a few Shangshu, in the past, she didn't let them get involved to protect themselves, and what she wanted to do was only to protect Jiang Rong's life, which was not difficult, but now Ye Zhi is different from Wei Guogong, Ye Zhi was fascinated by hatred, and he did things in an extreme way, and transferred tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city, most of them had to move seriously.

She had never faced such a big storm alone, and it was difficult to resolve the crisis in Shangjing by her alone, so she had to invite a few old ministers who had seen a big scene to discuss.

In the main hall, Mei Xiaoren sat next to the hall with several scholars.

It is precisely because Mei Xiaoren does not put on the role of the prime minister's wife and respects them very much, and several Shangshu respect Mei Xiaoren from the bottom of their hearts, rather than only condescending to the respect.

When everyone arrived, Mei Xiaoren opened his mouth and asked, "What do the adults think of what has happened recently?" ”

As soon as she said this, several adults all showed embarrassment on the ground.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said: "Madam, Ye Zhi's kid is a ruthless man, compared to his father-in-law, he just overthrew Ji Heng and couldn't wait to stand up and weaken the forces of the six departments, although he didn't dare to touch a few of us, but the skilled soldiers under our command have lost a lot, and the six departments are facing a situation where no one is available, how can they confront Ye Zhi's soldiers?" ”

"The most tricky thing is that the talisman is in Ye Zhi's hands, although the talisman should be used together with the edict, his name in power is not right, and he can't transfer troops even if he takes the talisman, but we can't transfer troops to break the siege without a talisman, so no one can threaten him." The military department Shangshu sighed, "The 60,000 soldiers and horses who came are loyal to the Ye family, Ye Zhi relies on them enough to wipe out the imperial court, if he really takes this opportunity to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, we can only stare dryly." ”

Mei Xiaoren frowned, "So, the jade seal is hanging?" ”

Someone said: "It is precisely because Ye Zhi can't control the government that he doesn't have a general to listen to his military orders, so he is anxious to get the jade seal to correct his name, so anxious, he is afraid of long nights and dreams." ”

"The more he is afraid of something, the more we have to hit his sore spot, he is afraid that the talisman will return to the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, then we will try to recapture the talisman!" Shangshu stroked his beard and said slowly, "Even if the 60,000 troops are loyal to Ye Zhi, we can transfer the Zhu family army east of Beijing and the garrisons in the north and west of the city to relieve the siege in the name of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Mei Xiaoren understood what several adults meant, and agreed with their statements, but it was not easy to recapture the talisman. Last time, she was able to force Wei State Bus to send troops, relying on coercion, now what is she using to blackmail Ye Zhi?

There was also a little helplessness in her expression, and she pondered what could be done about it, and when she came back to her senses, she found that several adults had already looked at her in unison.

Mei Xiaoren moved uncomfortably, sat a little further back, and frowned puzzled: "What are several adults looking at me doing?" ”

The military department Shangshu said: "Madam, looking at the whole of Shangjing, I am afraid that the only one who can save the capital from danger now is Madame." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu followed and said: "Ye Zhi doesn't believe anyone now, he takes people's lives at every turn, but he is unguarded against his wife, I don't know if his wife has a way to get a talisman?" ”

"It's not that I haven't looked for Ye Zhi, I am dissatisfied with you, yesterday His Highness told me that Ye Zhi refused to return the talisman and I went to him, but Ye Zhi's attitude was resolute, not only did he not listen to persuasion, but he also asked His Highness to hand over the jade seal." Mei Xiaoren sighed.

Someone asked, "Is there any other way for Madame to get the talisman besides persuasion?" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu answered: "For example...... Stealing ......"

Mei Xiaoren smiled and sighed: "My lord is really joking, I used to catch thieves, and I can still do the work of a thief?" ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said while thinking about it: "The talisman must be on Ye Zhi's body, now only Madame can approach Ye Zhi, Madame may want to find a way to steal it, such as taking advantage of his drunkenness, or using sweat medicine." ”

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing, "Lord Shangshu, are you talking about your experience in handling cases?" ”

She didn't laugh at the shallowness of such a method, but felt helpless.

The higher Ye Zhi climbed, the more cautious she became, how could she fall for these ordinary tricks, but she had no choice but to give up if she couldn't try or try.

A few adults are right, this is the most straightforward way at the moment, the soldier talisman is called the soldier talisman in the hands of Jiang Rong or the Prime Minister, even if it can't reverse the overall situation, it can also deter Ye Zhi like deterring Wei Guogong and solve the danger of the capital.

Mei Xiaoren responded: "I'll try." ”

Even if there is only one line of mobile phone skills, she should try, but she has to think about what method to use.

Time is running out, and as soon as the army arrives, Jiang Rong will be forced to hand over the jade seal, and the situation will deteriorate out of control.

In the early morning of the second day, Mei Xiaoren went to the General's Mansion, alone, without his entourage and guards.

The guards of the Ye Mansion did not stop her. She didn't need anyone to guide her, she went to Aunt Ye's room and met Aunt Ye who was still unconscious.

Mei Xiaoren sat on the edge of the bed, held Aunt Ye's hand, and silently looked at the sleeping Aunt Ye.

Aunt Ye is Ye Zhi's only relative, and she definitely doesn't want to see Ye Zhi trapped by hatred. She hoped that Aunt Ye could open her eyes and pull Ye Zhi out of the abyss, but the maid said that Aunt Ye had been waking up and sleeping sometimes in the past few days, and she had come unlucky.

Mei Xiaoren didn't sit for long, Ye Zhi rushed back to the mansion and went straight to his mother's room, I don't know if he was so anxious to learn that she was coming, and specially came to stop her from disturbing Aunt Ye.

As soon as Ye Zhi came, the subordinates all consciously withdrew from the house.

He walked up behind her and asked, "Xiaomei, are you just here to visit my mother?" ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't speak, there were only a few days left, and it was not easy for her to get the talisman. Aunt Ye is one of her hopes, but not all of her hopes, she came to find out the bottom and inquire about Ye Zhi's recent actions in the house.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ye Zhi sat down on the stool next to him and asked, "I asked you to persuade Jiang Ei before, can you persuade you?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked back at Ye Zhi, "This is an urgent matter for you?" The 60,000 army is getting closer and closer to the capital, even if I don't persuade me now, the jade seal will be in your pocket. ”

Ye Zhi smiled, "Having said that, it's better to toast than to punish wine, and he took the initiative to hand it over, better than me asking for it." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi for a long time, and found that Ye Zhi was no longer the honest and responsible reader, now he was paranoid and withdrawn, suspicious, and even more vigilant, and he didn't take her lightly.

And those methods of drinking and drugging require her to take the initiative to show goodwill, which is too deliberate, with huge flaws, and most of them will not work.
