Chapter 1128 Meng Ruowang's Despair

Hearing what Xiao Wanchou said, Meng Ruowang's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Xiao Wanchou!"

Meng Ruowang shouted angrily: "You are clearly seeking revenge for your personal gain!"

Xiao Wanchou snorted coldly and questioned confidently: "This old man is also for the sake of the court. When did it become a personal vendetta?"

"It's so obvious, isn't this just a personal vendetta?"

Meng Ruowang shouted angrily: "You are obviously holding a grudge against me because I reported you, and you want to hand me over to Yun Zheng and use Yun Zheng to kill me!"

Yun Zheng named the four treacherous villains, why did he give him to Yun Zheng?

Isn't it obvious?

"Are you the Regent?"

Xiao Wanchou asked slowly, "If I don't give you to Yun Zheng, then do I have to give the regent that His Majesty left for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Yun Zheng? Then which of the three do you think should be given to Yun Zheng?"

"I……"

Meng Ruowang's face froze, and he was choked and speechless for a moment.

To whom?

Xu Shifu is the Queen's elder brother and the Prince's uncle, so of course he cannot be sent.

Gu Xiu is the prince's father-in-law. After Zhang Huai passed away, Gu Xiu became the new Grand Secretary of Wenhua Pavilion, so he definitely cannot be sent!

What about Tang Shu?

Tang Shu was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and his students and former officials were spread all over the country.

If Tang Shu is given to Yun Zheng, what if Tang Shu becomes popular and officials at all levels follow him to join Yun Zheng, wouldn't the court be in even more chaos?

There is no way Yun Li would send Tang Shu away!

After much calculation, it seemed that he was the only one who could send it away.

Yun Li hesitated for a moment, his eyes fell on Xiao Wanchou, "Lord Meng is also a key official of the court, how can I let Lord Meng go to his death?"

Although Yun Li said this, he was secretly happy in his heart.

Now that Xiao Wanchou is the bad guy, he doesn't need to be a bad guy anymore!

"Your Highness, this is wrong!"

Xiao Wanchou shook his head and continued, "Mr. Meng is the Chief Censor, the leader of all the censors! The Emperor Gaozu of our dynasty has long established the ancestral precepts that censors cannot be killed unless they have committed a serious crime! I believe that Yun Zheng will definitely not dare to kill Mr. Meng!"

"This... this is just Duke Yu's guess after all!"

Yun Li frowned and said in a deep voice: "Lord Meng is wholeheartedly concerned about the court, but I let him put himself in danger. How can I face the civil and military officials and ancestors? There is no need to discuss this matter any further!"

After listening to Yun Li's words, Meng Ruowang finally felt relieved.

However, before he could recover, Xiao Wanchou looked over again.

"Sir Meng, you just said you were going to raise your sword and kill the rebels? Now is the time for you to serve the court!"

Xiao Wanchou raised his eyes and looked at Meng Ruowang: "Why don't you take the initiative to petition, which can not only help the court and the prince solve their problems, but also preserve your reputation for loyalty!"

"If Yun Zheng really kills Lord Meng, an imperial censor who is not afraid of power, Yun Zheng will definitely be despised by the people of the world!"

"When the time comes, if Yun Zheng wants to rebel again, the people's support will crush him to death!"

Facing Xiao Wanchou's gaze, Meng Ruowang greeted all the ancestors of the Xiao family for eighteen generations.

This old bastard Xiao Wanchou actually wanted to force me to petition on my own initiative!

Public revenge for private revenge!

This old man must be seeking revenge for personal gain!

"Forget it! I'll go!"

Xu Shifu sighed softly, "I am deeply blessed by the Emperor. Even if Yun Zheng kills me, as long as I can force Yun Zheng not to raise his army, my death will be worthwhile!"

"Duke Jingguo, you must not do that!"

Song Bixian quickly spoke out to stop him: "Duke Jingguo is not only the regent, but also the uncle of the current emperor. How can Duke Jingguo risk his life?"

"Yes!"

Yu Fu nodded gently: "If Duke Jingguo goes, he will definitely die! But if Lord Meng goes, he will have at least a 50% chance of survival!"

"Yes!" Another official echoed, "Moreover, Yun Zheng would not be blamed for killing the Duke of Jingguo! But if he kills Lord Meng, it would be like breaking the ancestral teachings of Emperor Gaozu, and his reputation would be greatly damaged..."

"Yep……"

At one time, a number of important officials offered their opinions.

It would not make sense for Xu Shifu and the other three to go.

However, if we don't send a person to Yun Zheng, this plan will not work.

Both publicly and privately, Meng Ruo had to wait.

Listening to what everyone said, Meng Ruowang couldn't help but complain.

He never expected that he would dig a hole and bury himself.

Now, what should I do?

If you go, you won't get any good results from Yun Zheng.

If you don’t go, you will be in trouble in the court!

Even though Yun Li sounds so benevolent now, if Yun Zheng leads his army to attack, Yun Li will definitely hand himself over to Yun Zheng at the first moment!

Moreover, in the current situation, the meaning of all the important officials is very clear.

Not to mention that Yun Li was just pretending to oppose, even if he really opposed, in this situation, he had no choice but to agree!

I can't hide now even if I want to!

At this moment, Meng Ruowang suddenly realized that he was in a desperate situation.

……

"How could this be?"

"how so……"

Deep in the palace, a mature and charming woman slumped on the couch, muttering to herself constantly with a look of despair on her face.

Xu Shifu, Tang Shu and Gu Xiu were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.

Meng Ruowang took the initiative to petition, willing to tie himself up and go to the rebel camp in Fuzhou!

At this time, Meng Ruowang should have left the imperial city!

And she just received the news now!

She suddenly realized that an invisible net had enveloped her.

Yun Zheng suddenly raised his army, and she, who had already despaired, saw a glimmer of hope again, but in the blink of an eye, she fell into complete despair again.

This time, it was even more desperate than the time Cui Wenjing was arrested.

She seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss and could never get up again.

"Master, go and confess to His Majesty!"

The old maid was equally desperate and anxiously advised: "We no longer have any hope! Master, go and ask His Majesty for help now, maybe there will be a way to survive!"

Lost!

Complete defeat!

All their beautiful dreams turned into bubbles at this moment.

There is only one dead end before them!

"No! We haven't lost yet!"

A hint of madness appeared on the woman's face. "As long as Meng Ruowang doesn't survive and fall into Yun Zheng's hands, we still have hope! Notify our people immediately and do everything they can to kill Meng Ruowang!"

"master!"

The maid raised her voice and wailed in despair: "We have no hope! Meng Ruowang is not Cui Wenjing. Once he is killed, the court will definitely investigate thoroughly! By then, we will also..."

"Yun Zheng sent people to kill him!"

The woman growled with a distorted face, "Yun Zheng doesn't want to miss this opportunity to raise an army, so he wants to send someone to kill Meng Ruowang..."

Listening to the woman's words, the palace maid couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this point, she still wants to put the blame on Yun Zheng?

Even if they succeeded in pinning the blame on Yun Zheng, what would happen?

Meng Ruowang is the biggest bargaining chip in their hands!

Once Meng Ruowang dies, their biggest bargaining chip will be gone!

"master!"

The maid knelt down with a thud, begging with tears in her eyes: "Please go to His Majesty and admit your mistake! His Majesty will definitely spare your life for the sake of Your Highness! If not for yourself, please think about Your Highness!"

"No! I haven't lost yet!"

The woman had already fallen into madness. She no longer had her previous composure. She growled with a ferocious face, "Go and pass the order immediately! Kill Meng Ruowang at all costs! Go!"

"master……"

The maiden begged again.

"Go!"

The woman's eyes were full of ferocity, like a wild beast choosing its prey...
