"Father..."

As Qiu Yutang finished speaking, a wailing sounded in the hall in an instant. More than a dozen concubines collapsed to the ground, and the queen Xiao Kexin's eyes went dark.

In Hexi Canyon, Meng Ke's tent.

Shi Miyuan had already left, but his endless remarks were still in Meng Ke, and Ye Haotian's ears echoed.

"Prince, the Western Expedition can fail, but Your Highness cannot fail."

"Everyone can see that the Great Highness and the Third Highness have been under house arrest by the prince. Only His Highness is the heir to the throne whom the prince is fully supported. The prince handed over the 500,000 troops of the Western Expedition to His Highness. Isn't it because he hopes that His Highness can establish a hundred generations of merit through this Western Expedition and ascend to the throne with this merit?"

"The Western Expedition ended in failure. The reason can be attributed to the tenacious resistance of the Mingyue Empire Army, the reason can be attributed to Qiu Yutang's many tricks, and the reason can be attributed to the traitors in the Imperial Army. But if His Highness is defeated, it can only explain one fact, which can only show that the prince lacks the wisdom to know people!"

"This is not the most terrifying!"

"The most terrifying thing is the chain reaction caused by this!"

"Once the truth of the failure of the Western Expedition spreads, His Highness will become a sinner of the empire, and will become a rat crossing the street amid the insults of the people and the criticism of the nobles. The prince's prestige will also be severely damaged. When His Majesty the Emperor is critically ill but has not selected the heir to the throne for a long time, the foundation of the empire will be shaken!"

"The forces that originally dared to secretly support the Grand Highness and the Third Highness will likely put pressure on the prince publicly. Even if the prince suppressed these forces with iron fist and supported the Supreme Lord to ascend the throne with iron fist, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate the roots in a short period of time. These hostile forces will accumulate strength in secret. They may counterattack at any time, and the empire may be divided at any time, and from then on, they will fall into endless civil war!"

"What I say is not a dangerous word."

"I think...there is only one way to save Your Highness, restore the prince's reputation, and at the same time save the empire from division and the quagmire of civil war!"

"That is... to blame Meng Hu for his defeat in the Western Expedition, and then graft Meng Hu's military achievements on His Highness. Only in this way can His Highness be supported by the people. Under the pressure of the people and public opinion, those forces that secretly support His Highness and the Third Highness will not dare to exert public influence."

"Although the truth and lies are separated by only one layer of window paper, many things will become completely different before the window paper is broken! If Your Highness cannot succeed to the throne, this good show of replacing the pillar will certainly become a laughing stock in the world. But if Your Highness ascends the throne, then lies will become the truth and the truth will become a lie."

"I have said this, please think twice!"

...

Meng Ke looked at the top of the tent with his hands on his back and was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he sighed quietly, looked down at Ye Haotian and said, "Oh, the whole story of the matter has been cleared, and it is meaningless to hold the responsibility accountable. Haotian, what should we say, how should this Western Expedition end?"

Ye Haotian whispered: "I think what Mr. Miyuan said is a way."

Meng Ke nodded and sighed: "Oh, it seems that this is the only way to do it..."

"Just..." Ye Haotian said again, "Your Highness wants to execute the more than 20,000 soldiers... Is it a bit too late?"

"No."

Meng Ke shook his head and said solemnly, "Meng Yan's ability to make up his mind to execute the 20,000 soldiers just means that he is still hopeless, and that he still knows that there is no way to be a woman's kindness to accomplish great things! If he hadn't been able to have such decisions and courage under severe downfall, this time, even if I violated the will of the ancestor's emperor, I would have deposed him."

Ye Haotian felt awesome, and after thinking about it, he said with concern: "But as the saying goes, paper cannot contain the fire after all, if the truth spreads..."

"The truth? What's the truth?"

Meng Ke said coldly, "Shi Miyuan said rightly, although the truth and lies are separated by only one layer of window paper, is this layer of window paper so easy to break?"
