Chapter 796

Speaking of Meng Luo, after seeing off Wang Yi, he immediately set off to the palace to see the emperor Yin Zhun.

Now Yin Zhun is very leisurely. There are basically no government affairs for him to deal with. He stays in the palace and spends his days living and drinking. Anyway, the Feng Kingdom supports him, and besides the rights of the emperor, he has everything he wants.

When Meng Luo arrived, Yin Zhun was enjoying the singing and dancing in the side hall. Judging from his high spirits, he was obviously enjoying it.

When Meng Luo was brought closer by the maid, Yin Zhun sat there with a smile on his face, pointing to the empty seat next to him, and said cheerfully: "Why is Meng Xiang so free today? Come on, come on, sit here."

Meng Luo sighed secretly, walked forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Yin Zhun, then stood up and sat aside.

Soon, the maid brought drinks and snacks such as dried fruits. After the maid retreated, Meng Luofang raised his hands to Yin Zhun and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to the palace to discuss something with Your Majesty."

At this time, Yin Zhun's attention was not on him at all, and he was looking at the dozen dancers dancing in the hall without blinking.

These dancing girls were specially brought back from Ning State by Tang Yin as gifts to Yin Zhun. Yin Zhen likes women, and Tang Yin also likes her, hoping that he can continue to indulge in it.

"If you have anything to do, tell me!" Yin Zhen responded casually without turning his head.

Munro frowned and said seriously: "Your Majesty, what I want to report is an important matter."

Yin Zhun was stunned for a moment, her eyes finally fell on his face, and said: "Meng Xiang, if you have anything to say, please just say it."

Munro looked at the dancer in the palace and then at the maids around him, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Yin Zhun was quite impatient, but still said patiently: "Say it!"

Seeing that the emperor didn't understand what he meant at all, Meng Luo had no choice but to make it clear: "Your Majesty, please let the dancers and maids retreat first."

When Yin Zhen heard this, he immediately showed dissatisfaction and stared at Meng Luo suspiciously. The latter reiterated: "The matter that I and your Majesty need to discuss is very important."

After a moment of silence, Yin Zhun finally waved his hand, ordering the dancing girl and the surrounding maids to retreat. At this time, the doctor's order, Montaigne, also came and transferred all the guards inside and outside the side hall. Now, only Yin Zhun and Meng Luo were left in the entire hall.

"Meng Xiang, what's the important thing for you?" Yin Zhun asked curiously.

Meng Luo no longer hesitated and said bluntly: "The minister wants the emperor to issue a secret edict to kill the minister Tang Yin!"

Yin Zhun was drinking slowly with a wine glass in hand. When he heard these words, his body trembled violently. The wine glass dropped from his hands and fell on the table. The wine he drank in his mouth before he could swallow it almost spat out in one gulp. He widened his eyes, looked at Munro in disbelief, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Your Majesty issued a secret edict to kill Tang Yin!" Meng Luo said word by word.

This time Yin Zhun heard it clearly. He first trembled with excitement, then shook his head like a rattle, and stammered: "No, absolutely not! Tang Aiqing once saved my life, how can I repay you with kindness?" , let him die? Besides, Tang Aiqing is loyal to me, why should I kill him? And..." At this point, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Meng Xiang, don't forget me. Where are we now? This is Feng Country. Even if I give an order, who can listen to my command? "

After listening to the first half of his sentence, Munro's face became more and more solemn, but after hearing the second half, Munro was immediately relieved. His Majesty was not stupid enough to really think that Tang Yin was a loyal minister. He also wanted to get rid of Tang Yin, but he was just worried. It’s just that I don’t have this ability.

He sighed quietly, with a look of sadness on his face, and said: "Since Tang Yin welcomed His Majesty into the Feng Dynasty, he relied on his status as the Feng King to form cliques for personal gain, colluded with the ministers in the court, bullied and intimidated Your Majesty everywhere, how could this be a matter of ministers versus the emperor? His attitude? In his eyes, His Majesty has simply become a plaything in his hands. "

This sentence reached Yin Zhen's heart, and he felt sour in his heart, and his eye circles suddenly turned red.

Meng Luo continued: "I can guarantee that Tang Yin had ulterior motives in welcoming His Majesty into the Feng Dynasty. Tang Yin had no loyalty to Your Majesty at all. If this thief is not eliminated as soon as possible and allowed to flourish, he will become His Majesty's confidant in the future." Big trouble!"

Yin Chen lowered his head and said nothing, but looking at his expression, he agreed with Meng Luo's words.

Meng Luo said again: "Your Majesty, now is the perfect time to get rid of Tang Yin."

Yin Zhun perked up, raised his head, and asked with surprise and joy: "How do you say this?"

Meng Luo brought out Wang Yi's rhetoric and told Yin Zhun in detail. Finally, he said: "Using Ning people's hatred for Tang Yin, coupled with your majesty's imperial edict, you can definitely succeed in instigating rebellion. Your majesty can think about it." , once the 150,000-strong Western Border Army suddenly betrays Tang Yin, how can this thief be justified?"

oh? Yin Zhun's eyes lit up, and after careful consideration, Meng Luo's words were not unreasonable. It would be a clever plan to issue an edict to instigate Ningren.

In fact, Yin Zhen has a very smart mind and can think quickly. Apart from his fondness for women, he really has no obvious shortcomings. If he can hold the imperial power, he can become a good emperor. It is a pity that he was not born. hour.

After a short period of reflection, Yin Zhun concluded that the strategy proposed by Munro was the best one and had great hope of success. But killing Tang Yin was not a trivial matter. It involved too many things, and it was also related to his own life. Yin Zhun did not dare to be cautious.

He thought for a while and said: "Meng Xiang, I have to consider this matter again. Tomorrow...tomorrow I will see you in the palace to discuss it in detail."

Munro shook his head and said sternly: "Your Majesty, there is no further delay, the night is long and the dreams are many." After saying this, he stood up and left his seat, fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "I kneel down to ask your Majesty to immediately report to Zuo Shuang, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army." Issue an edict to revolt and kill traitors for the country!"

Now that Tang Yin is in Yancheng, who knows if he will suddenly leave Yancheng and go south tomorrow. If Tang Yin leaves, everything will be over.

Looking at Meng Luo kneeling in front of him, Yin Zhun was really in trouble. He also wanted to kill Tang Yin, but it was okay if he succeeded, but what if he failed? With Tang Yin's character, he might even kill himself, the emperor.

He slowly clenched his fists, thought about it, finally made up his mind and secretly said, "Fight!" Whether he wants to be the real emperor or Tang Yin's puppet depends on this.

He walked around the table, walked to Meng Luo, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with emotion: "Meng Xiang, I... I will listen to you this time, help me grind!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Munro almost shed tears of excitement. He took three steps and then walked to the table to grind for Yin Zhun.

Yin Zhen listened to Meng Luo's advice and secretly wrote an edict to Zuo Shuang. In the edict, he listed Tang Yin's various domineering ways and described him as the best in the world who deceived superiors and concealed inferiors, and did all kinds of evil. Treacherous officials, please ask Zuo Shuang to lead the officers and soldiers of the Ningguo Central Army to kill Tang Yin and eliminate traitors for the country.

After writing the edict, Yin Zhun stamped it with a jade seal, folded it carefully, and handed it to Meng Luo. His voice trembled and he said: "Meng Luo, this secret edict is related to the survival of the empire and my life and death. It must not be tolerated." It fell into Tang Yin’s hands!”

Munro knew the importance of this edict, and when he received it, he felt that it weighed a thousand pounds.

Holding the edict in both hands, Meng Luo shed tears. He was crying not because of Yin Zhun's trust in him, but because he felt sorry for Yin Zhun. The majestic emperor was so humiliated by the princes below. It was sad and lamentable. !

The old man choked up and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will risk my life to protect the edict and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands!"

"Ah... Meng Xiang said this, I feel relieved..." Yin Zhun slumped down on the couch. For a moment, the strength in his body seemed to be drained out in an instant, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. .

Under Yin Zhun's watch, Meng Luo left the palace. The old man left the palace and rushed to the Western Army camp outside the city without stopping.

There are 150,000 troops in the Western Border Army. It is impossible for such a large army to be stationed in the capital. At this time, they are temporarily staying in the camp in the north of the city.

Silent all the way, Meng Luo left Yancheng smoothly and arrived at the camp in the north of the city.

The predecessor of the Western Border Army was the Ningguo Central Army. In terms of military discipline and rules, it was more strict than the Feng Army. There were one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps inside and outside the camp, and groups of patrolling guards passed by from time to time.

Munro's carriage was stopped by the guards of the Western Frontier Army as soon as it arrived in front of the gate of the camp.

As soon as people saw the pomp and circumstance of the carriage, they immediately judged that the identity of the person sitting inside was not simple.

A guard captain came forward and asked in a polite tone: "Who wants to join our camp?"

Before the servants could answer, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Munro poked his head out and said, "Little brother, please inform your commander-in-chief, General Zuo Shuang, and ask the left prime minister Munro to see you!"

Left Prime Minister Munro? The captain didn't react for a moment. Isn't Zuo Xiang Qiu Zhen? When did it become Munro? But after a pause, he suddenly remembered that the left prime minister of the Feng Kingdom's court was Qiu Zhen, but the left prime minister of the imperial court was Meng Luo.

ah? Why is the left prime minister of the imperial court here? In terms of identity and status, the left minister of the imperial court was much nobler than the left prime minister of the principality.

The guard didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly stepped in and saluted, and said: "Master, please wait a moment, I will report to the general right now!" After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the camp.

It was now dusk. Zuo Shuang had just finished inspecting the training of his soldiers and returned to the central military tent and was taking off his armor. At this time, someone came to report that Meng Luo, the left minister of the imperial court, asked to see him and was waiting outside the camp.

Zuo Shuang was quite surprised that Meng Luo would come to see him. He and Meng Luo had never met each other, let alone have any friendship. Why did he come suddenly?

Zuo Shuang's mind was filled with confusion, but he still went out to the camp to greet him personally.

After the two met, Zuo Shuang took the initiative to salute and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Prime Minister Meng was here, but I was disappointed to welcome you from afar. I hope Prime Minister Meng won't be offended."

Meng Luo hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Zuo Shuang deeply, and said: "General Zuo is too polite. I'll kill him for his true nature."

Zuo Shuang's first impression of Meng Luo was good. He felt that he didn't have the domineering attitude of an important minister of the imperial court. He waved sideways and said: "Meng Luo, please come in."

"General Zuo, please!"

The two exchanged a few polite words and walked into the camp side by side.
