Chapter 1127 Clear Yourself

Imperial City.

The content of the manifesto issued by Yun Zheng was immediately transmitted to the imperial city.

After Yun Li received the contents of the manifesto in the middle of the night, he quickly summoned officials of the third rank and above in the court to the Prince's Mansion to discuss the matter.

When everyone was present, Yun Li immediately ordered someone to read Yun Zheng's manifesto to everyone word for word.

Compared with the manifesto Han Da had mentioned before, this officially released manifesto was more clear.

The manifesto directly named four treacherous officials in the court.

Xu Shifu, Gu Xiu, Tang Shu, Meng Ruowang!

In Yun Zheng's manifesto, these four people became the culprits who controlled the government and coerced Crown Prince Yun Li.

"Tell me everything! What should we do now?"

Yun Li sat there with a tired look on his face, looking up at the ministers.

"war!"

Meng Ruowang still insisted on a fight, saying loudly: "Yun Zheng is confusing right and wrong, and his evil ambitions are obvious! Although I am weak, if no one in the court dares to fight, I am willing to take up my three-foot-long sword and fight the traitor to the death!"

Xu Shifu looked at Meng Ruowang coldly: "Lord Meng, whether to fight or not depends not on determination, but on strength!"

"Duke Jingguo is wrong!"

Meng Ruowang immediately refuted: "Throughout history, there have been countless cases of the weak defeating the strong! In the past, Emperor Gaozu of our dynasty defeated an enemy army of 50,000 with only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and became famous all over the world! Has Lord Jingguo forgotten this?"

Tang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and said sarcastically, "What's the matter? Lord Meng, are you trying to compare yourself to Emperor Gaozu?"

"you……"

Meng Ruowang was almost choked to death by Tang Shu's words. He snorted for a long time, then looked at Yun Li with righteous indignation: "I am willing to die for my advice. I beg the prince to make up his mind to fight!"

As he spoke, Meng Ruowang knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

bang bang...

Meng Ruowang hit the ground so hard that he felt like he was going to die.

"Master Meng, please stand up quickly!"

Yun Li quickly walked down from his seat and personally helped Meng Ruowang up. "Lord Meng is loyal and devoted, and I am very happy! However, we still need to discuss whether to fight or not!"

"His Royal Highness!"

Meng Ruowang was heartbroken. "Although the traitor Yun Zheng has a strong army, the imperial court can still mobilize more than 500,000 troops! If the imperial court does not fight, won't it be..."

"I didn't say I won't fight! Isn't this something we are discussing?"

Yun Li comforted Meng Ruowang, then turned to look at Xiao Wanchou: "Duke Yu, I have read the battle plan drawn up by the Ministry of War. How confident are you about this battle plan?"

"This……"

Xiao Wanchou looked embarrassed.

"Your Highness, I would like to report to the Minister of War Xiao Wanchou!"

Meng Ruowang spoke again.

"Mr. Shen?"

Xiao Wanchou laughed, pointed at Meng Ruowang's nose and cursed: "You were bitten by a mad dog, right? What right do you have to complain to me?"

"Why?"

Meng Ruowang snorted coldly: "Of the four regents that His Majesty left for Your Highness, three were accused by the traitor Yun Zheng as treacherous villains who brought chaos to the government. How can you, Xiao Wanchou, be the only one who is immune to this?"

"Every time the imperial court is threatened by the traitor Yun Zheng, you, the Minister of War, always advocate not to fight, because there are always difficulties of one kind or another!"

"I didn't understand it before, but now I finally see it clearly! You are clearly Yun Zheng's man!"

As Meng Ruowang finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Wanchou.

Lian Yunli couldn't help but look at Xiao Wanchou.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also suspects me?"

Xiao Wanchou was so angry that he almost rushed up to fight with Meng Ruowang.

"no no!"

Yun Li shook his head gently, "I just want to hear what Duke Yu has to say! Duke Yu can refute what Lord Meng said!"

"I don't want to refute it, and there is nothing to refute!"

Xiao Wanchou stiffened his neck, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suspects me, you can dismiss me from my post, strip me of my title, and throw me into the prison!"

Yun Li's face froze, and he was about to explode when Gu Xiu suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, I think I know the reason."

Yu Fu bowed and said, "In the past, when the Northern Huan State Master Ban Bu came to our court to ask for food, Yun Zheng was framed. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Duke Yu spoke up to help! I think Yun Zheng was thinking of Duke Yu's kindness."

"Yep!"

Tang Shu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and immediately followed up with a statement: "If it weren't for Lord Gu's reminder, I would have almost forgotten about this matter!"

"I think Yun Zheng's failure to mention Duke Yu might also be a conspiracy!"

"Yun Zheng has always been cunning, and I'm afraid he wants to use this vicious plan to make Your Highness suspect Duke Yu, thus cutting off his own arm!"

After hearing what Tang Shu and Gu Xiu said, many people nodded.

Both Tang Shu's and Yu Fu's statements are tenable.

Yun Li thought for a moment and then looked at Xu Shifu inquiringly.

Xu Shifu was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Your Highness, we don't need to discuss these things now! I have a plan that can easily make Yun Zheng withdraw his troops!"

"Oh?"

Yun Li's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "What's your plan, uncle?"

"Didn't Yun Zheng want to clear out the emperor's entourage?"

Xu Shifu laughed, "Since Yun Zheng said that the four of us are treacherous officials in the court, Your Highness can tie us up and send us to Yun Zheng! Your Highness has already handed the treacherous officials over to him, how can he clear the court? If he raises an army again, it will be a rebellion!"

As Xu Shifu finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared at Xu Shifu blankly.

Xu Shifu's plan is quite brilliant!

But the problem is that Xu Shifu's strategy put himself in danger!

Yun Zheng must hate Xu Shifu to the core!

If Xu Shifu falls into Yun Zheng's hands, will he still have a chance to survive?

"Your Highness, this must not be done!"

Yu Fu stood up again, "Although the plan of Duke Jingguo is brilliant, the three of them are the regents left by the emperor to your Highness. How can you tie them up and send them to Yun Zheng?"

After they reacted, others started to speak up.

"Yes! Your Highness! This is absolutely not allowed!"

"Duke Jingguo's loyalty is as great as the sun and the moon. If Your Highness gives them to Yun Zheng, wouldn't that be cutting off one's own arm?"

"This is a matter that makes relatives sad and enemies happy. Your Highness, please think twice!"

Almost everyone opposed Xu Shifu's strategy.

"Your Highness, this plan may work!"

At this moment, Xiao Wanchou suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Wanchou, what do you mean?"

Meng Ruowang snorted coldly: "What? Do you want His Highness to give all his trusted ministers to Yun Zheng so that you can take credit for this traitor Yun Zheng?"

"Shut your bitch!"

Xiao Wanchou angrily scolded Meng Ruowang, "When did I say I would give the three of them to Yun Zheng?"

"What does Duke Yu mean?" Yun Li wondered.

Xiao Wanchou showed Meng Ruowang a mouthful of sharp white teeth, and then said: "I think that the three people including Duke Jingguo must not be given to Yun Zheng!"

"Your Highness can dismiss these three people, but in reality, you still keep them by your side to assist Your Highness! When the time is right, they can be reinstated to their original positions!"

"However, even if the court is just pretending, it still needs to kidnap someone and send him to Yun Zheng to shut him up!"

"And Lord Meng is the most suitable candidate!"
