Nangong Fusang and Prince Mu sent troops to attack Qinzhou and capture Qinzhou officials without the emperor's permission. This was a rebellion no matter how you look at it.

So in order to exonerate them, Liu Sheng decided to take the initiative and forge a rebellion by the prefect of Qinzhou, in order to exonerate Nangong Fusang.

But he couldn't do it by himself. He had only been an official in the court for two years and his power was limited, so he visited the prime minister late at night.

Given the relationship between the Prime Minister and Prince Mu, the Prime Minister will definitely lend a helping hand.

Sure enough, the prime minister agreed after just a brief thought.

Those people in Qinzhou even dared to kill the prince, which was a crime that should not be forgiven. The prime minister was not a pedantic person. After weighing the pros and cons, he agreed.

Liu Sheng forged a handwritten letter from Nangong Fusang to the emperor on the spot, which stated that he found that the governor of Qinzhou was planning to rebel. So he sent a secret letter to the emperor, begging the emperor to order the Mu Palace to send troops.

Of course, this handwritten letter eventually fell into the hands of the prefect of Qinzhou. When the prefect of Qinzhou discovered that the matter was exposed, he killed Nangong Fusang to silence him.

Nangong Fusang managed to escape and finally fled to Prince Mu's mansion. The prefect of Qinzhou was afraid that Prince Mu would report the incident to the court, so he sent troops to attack Prince Mu's mansion. Prince Mu had no choice but to fight back without the emperor's permission.

As for this handwritten letter, it was finally intercepted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and presented to the emperor.

The Prime Minister took the letter, glanced at him, and said, "Master Liu is really thoughtful."

A handwritten letter puts everything in context.

The evidence is both strong and weak.

It is certain that this handwritten letter was finally discovered by the Imperial Guards. With Nangong Fusang's current strength, he cannot collude with the Imperial Guards at all, so it is authentic at first glance.

The weak point is that all the evidence that can prove that Nangong Fusang did not rebel is only a handwritten letter. The governor of Qinzhou and his men will definitely not survive. There is no evidence for this matter, which makes people feel that Nangong Fusang can say whatever he wants.

But this is where Liu Sheng’s strength lies. It is precisely because the evidence is so weak that it seems more real.

If a powerless prince has sufficient evidence to prove his innocence, the emperor will become suspicious due to his suspicious character.

Now everything is just right, no matter how solid or weak it is, it hits the emperor's point accurately.

Liu Sheng naturally understood the Prime Minister's implication, but he was not angry. He smiled calmly and said, "I am just giving you some advice. The success or failure will ultimately depend on the Prime Minister."

The Prime Minister just smiled and said nothing. How could Liu Sheng rely on him? He knew very well that he would not just leave Prince Mu alone and ask him to cooperate.

The two discussed for a while and made the final decision, and Liu Sheng left the prime minister's residence.

The Prime Minister immediately found the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, handed him the letter, and told him what to do next.

Section 245

The next day, before the emperor went to court, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard presented the rebellion in Qinzhou and Nangong Fusang's handwritten letter to him.

The emperor looked at the letter and the evidence of the Qinzhou rebellion collected by the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

His first thought was not that Qinzhou dared to rebel, but that Nangong Fusang could mobilize the garrison of Prince Mu's Palace?

My eldest son is becoming more and more capable.

If it weren't for that handwritten letter, I would have thought that he was the one who rebelled.

After the commander left, the emperor went to court.

As soon as he arrived, the Minister of War reported the matter of Prince Mu's Mansion sending troops to Qinzhou, and criticized Nangong Fusang and Prince Mu for having rebellious intentions.

When others heard this, they immediately came out to accuse the two of behaving erratically and completely disregarding the laws of the court. They also explicitly and covertly reminded the emperor that the two might rebel.

The emperor listened to their attacks, and his originally suspicious heart gradually calmed down.

Without knowing about the handwritten letter, they all suspected that Nangong Fusang had the intention of rebellion, which only proved that Nangong Fusang did not play tricks. Otherwise, he would not have let others catch such a big handle.

It also proves from another perspective that Nangong Fusang had no power in the court. Not a single civil or military official in the court came to excuse him.

So the emperor believed Nangong Fusang and took out the letter, and then all the ministers shut up.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng silently looked at the Prime Minister and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter is considered to be accomplished.

Over there, Nangong Fusang and Prince Mu led 30,000 elite troops and fought all the way to Qinzhou.

Before the prefect of Qinzhou knew what was happening, the government office was blown open.

When he saw Nangong Fusang who had come back from the dead, he was shocked.

"You, you're not dead?"

Nangong Fusang thought of the civilians and dozens of subordinates who died tragically in the manor, and was so angry that he kicked him: "You, a dog official, didn't die, how can I die?"

The prefect of Qinzhou knew that his death was imminent, so he decided to fight to the death, snatched the knife and kidnapped Nangong Fusang.

But Nangong Fusang threw him over his shoulder with his backhand, knocking him unconscious.

He didn't expect that a prince would have such skills, so he could only surrender.

Just as Nangong Fusang was about to order the men to be tied up, Zhan Feng suddenly drew his sword and killed the prefect with one strike.

Nangong Fusang was dumbfounded: "Zhan Feng, what are you doing?"

"Your Highness, if he doesn't die, you and Prince Mu will be rebelling."

Zhan Feng received Liu Sheng's order that the prefect of Qinzhou must not be allowed to stay.

Nangong Fusang was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out the key.

I smiled and patted his shoulder: "You will follow me from now on."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhan Feng didn't bother to complain.

They arrested all the people from the Qinzhou Prefecture, while Prince Mu went to rescue the civilians who were imprisoned in the manor by the wealthy businessmen.

In half a day, the whole Qinzhou had been liberated by them.

The people of Qinzhou had been oppressed for a long time, and they never expected that they would be rescued one day. They took to the streets to kowtow to Nangong Fusang and Prince Mu, and they were all grateful and crying.

Nangong Fusang looked at them and suddenly felt that his two months of escape were worth it.

These corrupt officials in Qinzhou were wiped out in one fell swoop. The imperial court sent officials to treat Qinzhou again. The emperor also exempted Qinzhou from taxes for three years, which was praised by the people of Qinzhou.

After finishing the affairs in Qinzhou, Nangong Fusang returned to Beijing.

The first thing he did after returning to Beijing was to go to Liu Mansion to show off his glorious deeds in the past two months.

But Liu Sheng did not give him a chance. He handed him a confession of guilt and asked him to go to the palace to plead guilty.

"Isn't there a reason for what I did? Father has forgiven me, so there is no need for this edict of apology, right?"

Nangong Fusang thought that his father would not suspect him of rebellion, right?

Liu Sheng glanced at him calmly: "The emperor forgave you because of his kindness. It has nothing to do with you."

"Okay, then you wait for me, I'll be back soon, and we'll have a drink tonight."

Nangong Fusang took the edict of guilt and ran out quickly. Before leaving, he turned back and shouted, "Wait for me."
