Mu Qing, who was young and energetic, had a bias in his heart because of his sister. Now seeing this situation, he could no longer hold back and stood up suddenly.
"Your Majesty, I also second the proposal."
"No one can touch their conscience and pretend they didn't hear what they heard. Since the trial was wrong, it should be retried. This is the simplest truth, Your Majesty."
Mu Qing is not like other people who can speak out a lot of truth, he just expresses his inner thoughts very simply.
But Mu Qing's words only made Emperor Liang even more angry. His emperor's brother and sister betrayed him, and his ministers contradicted him with their righteousness. Now you, a little kid with no hair on his head, actually dare to question him and teach him the truth.
?
I saw him shouting angrily: "Wantless, Mu Qing, do you also want to rebel?"
Although Mu Qing was full of momentum just now, he was frightened by Emperor Liang's roar and fell to his knees, not daring to look at Emperor Liang.
Mu Qing was afraid of Emperor Liang, but some people were not afraid. Just when Emperor Liang was furious, a loud and steady voice suddenly sounded.
"I also second the proposal."
In an instant, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the source of the sound, and saw Yanhou Yanguo's uncle suddenly stood up from the table, stood upright, and walked under Emperor Liang.
"Your Majesty, what the eldest princess just said has a clear context and clear facts. According to the law, a retrial should be instituted. But I just don't understand why your Majesty is hesitant."
Although Yanque had not been to the court for many years, he still had great prestige in the court. When he spoke, all the ministers immediately cheered.
"What Marquis Yan said is absolutely correct, and I agree with you."
"I second the proposal and ask your Majesty to approve it."
Emperor Liang was completely dumbfounded. His hands pointing at everyone were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"You are all clansmen, clansmen, who is it? Who asked you to do this to me? Who asked you to do this to me?"
Emperor Liang was so excited that he completely lost his composure. This was the first time that he, who had always been authoritative and domineering, showed himself like this in front of his courtiers.
At this moment, the prince Xiao Jingyan who was sitting above suddenly stood up, ignored Emperor Liang, and under the gaze of everyone, slowly walked to Princess Weiyang who was kneeling on the ground, and solemnly helped Princess Weiyang.
stand up.
When others saw Jamel Xiao's actions, they also stood up.
Only Emperor Liang looked at Jamel Xiao in disbelief.
Xiao Jingyan turned around and walked to Emperor Liang, saluted and said: "My son, I second the proposal. I hope that your majesty will grant permission to retrial Chi Yan."
Emperor Liang, who was originally excited and angry, was no longer excited when he saw Jamel Xiao standing up, and smiled mockingly to himself.
"you you."
Mixed with anger, he walked down the dragon's eucalyptus and pointed at Jamel Xiao: "It's you. I should have guessed it a long time ago. It must be you. Only you, only you can..."
Then he noticed Concubine Jing who had been standing next to her. Seeing Concubine Jing staring at him with no fear, he suddenly understood and laughed at himself.
King Yu, who had been watching with cold eyes, saw this scene, and his eyes suddenly shone with light, and he suddenly stood up.
"Father."
Prince Yu first called his father, then stood in front of Jamel Xiao and angrily shouted: "Jamel Xiao, you are so brave, do you want to force the palace to rebel?"
Jamel Xiao just looked at him coldly: "Brother Yu Wang, this matter has nothing to do with you."
King Yu yelled excitedly: "How come it has nothing to do with me. If you want to force the palace to rebel, it has to do with me. Jamel Xiao, my father valued you and made you the prince. You actually conspired with hundreds of officials to force the palace. You are so big."
courage."
"Jing Huan."
Emperor Liang stared at this scene in bewilderment. When almost everyone betrayed him, King Yu, who had been ignored by him for a long time, stood up in front of him without hesitation. This was something he never expected.
Prince Yu said excitedly: "Father, don't worry, my son is here. If Jamel Xiao wants to touch you today, he will step on my body first."
"Jing Huan."
It was a scene of a loving father and a filial son, but Jamel Xiao suddenly shouted: "Meng Zhi."
Meng Zhi stepped forward without hesitation and said, "I'm here."
Jamel Xiao said coldly: "Brother Yu Wang is drunk. In order to prevent him from disobeying the court, please arrange for someone to take Brother Yu to rest."
"yes!"
Meng Zhi responded loudly, then waved his hand, and the imperial guards in the palace immediately rushed forward, forcibly controlled King Yu, and tried to pull him out.
Prince Yu was shocked and said angrily: "Let me go, Jamel Xiao, what do you want to do? Let me go, Meng Zhi, do you also want to rebel?"
But how could his words scare Meng Zhi? Several Forbidden Army soldiers had already pulled him a few steps away, and one of them even blocked his mouth with a cloth.
When Emperor Liang saw the actions of Jamel Xiao and Meng Zhi, he angrily yelled: "Prince."
But his filial piety did not prevent King Yu from being pulled out of the palace.
Everyone present looked at this scene in confusion, especially those who did not come forward, and they all felt chilled in their hearts.
What kind of person Jamel Xiao is is relatively clear to both the government and the public, but Jamel Xiao's coldness at this moment is completely different from his past behavior.
At this moment, Jamel Xiao was full of majesty and domineering, even facing Emperor Liang without falling behind.
Seeing that Jamel Xiao was indifferent, Emperor Liang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Prince, Jinghuan is your brother, you must not do anything bad to him."
Jamel Xiao said coldly: "Although I am the prince, I will not do anything to harm my brothers and sisters. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
He didn't even call out to his father, which fully demonstrated his determination.
"Your Majesty, I also ask for your permission to review the Red Flame Eucalyptus."
When this was brought up again, Emperor Liang was really furious. The attitudes of Jamel Xiao and the clan ministers made him understand that he was no longer in control of the situation in the court today.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "According to Wei Yang's accusation, the masterminds are none other than Xie Yu and Xia Jiang. But now, they are both dead, why do you have to retrial."
Jamel Xiao said in a deep voice: "This case is about the truth and innocence, not just to convict two people."
"Then who else are you going to accuse?"
Emperor Liang's tone changed.
Jamel Xiao: "This is a big right and wrong. Anyone who is guilty or guilty should be held accountable."
Emperor Liang sneered and said: "What a guilty person, what a loser. Who are you talking about?"
Jamel Xiao did not speak, but looked at him without hesitation. Not only him, he found that many people were also looking at him.
Faced with such a situation, Emperor Liang was silent for a long time, and then asked slowly: "What if I don't agree? Is the prince really trying to force him into the palace?"
Xiao Jingyan said loudly: "Jingyan has been taught by the eldest brother since he was a child. As we all know, my brother only wants the country to be strong and the people to be healthy. Whatever he didn't do back then, Jingyan won't do."
"You don't know how? If you don't know how, what are you doing now?"
Because Xia Jiang died early and Mei Changsu's identity was not discovered, Emperor Liang did not know that Mei Changsu was related to Lin Shu, and naturally he would not mention Mei Changsu at this time.
Jamel Xiao was silent, just standing quietly, neither speaking nor flinching, and his attitude was very tough.
Emperor Liang looked grim. What happened today was really something he never dared to think about, and he didn't even notice any signs beforehand.
If something like this hadn't happened suddenly, he wouldn't have known that Prince Xiao Jamyan now had such prestige in the court that even people like Prince Ji and Marquis Yan were on Jamel Xiao's side.
Even the commander-in-chief of the imperial army who controlled the imperial city became Jamel Xiao's people, plus the civil and military officials, the Mu Nihuang siblings who controlled the military, and Concubine Jing who controlled the harem.
If you think about it carefully, it's really terrifying. Even he, the emperor, was forced to this point.
He really couldn't understand how Jamel Xiao did it. You must know that it didn't even take half a year for Jamel Xiao to become the prince.
"Why, Prince, why do you do this?"
Jamel Xiao’s answer was concise and clear.
"For the truth, for justice."
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice: "Prince, I don't believe that you planned this situation alone. It seems that you have help from experts."
As he spoke, his eyes quickly shifted to Mei Changsu, who had been sitting quietly and making no sound.
"Mr. Su, if it weren't for the help of you, a talented Qilin man, I probably wouldn't be in this situation now. But I don't understand what benefit does a counselor like you do to you by doing such a thing?"
"benefit?"
Mei Changsu stood up expressionlessly, looked at Emperor Liang with a strange look in his eyes, and said completely unrelated words.
"In the twenty-sixth year of Jingyun, His Majesty was still a prince. He was framed and had a butcher's knife hanging from his neck. He was your classmate and later the leader of the Red Flame Army, Lin Xie, who desperately tried to retrieve evidence and presented it to the late Emperor before he was rescued.
Your Majesty lives."
After hearing these words, Emperor Liang's expression immediately changed, and he stared at Mei Changsu with a shocked and puzzled look. This happened forty years ago, and he didn't understand why Mei Changsu knew about it.
So clear.
Mei Changsu did not stop and continued: "In the twenty-ninth year of Jingyun, the Five Kings Rebellion ravaged the capital. At that time, Marshal Lin was just a commander of the patrol camp. He personally led 300 cavalry and rushed into the forbidden army camp, and finally fought with all his strength.
To protect His Majesty’s accession to the throne.”
The past events were brought up again, which made Emperor Liang's heart suddenly become confused. He shouted excitedly: "Shut up, shut up, shut up."
But how could Mei Changsu keep silent?
"In the tenth year of Kaiwen, the Western Jin Dynasty fell and Jinling was besieged. It was Commander Lin again who came from the northern border to fight for the king thousands of miles away. He fought bloody battles for three days and ended the chaos in the capital."
"Whether it is as a friend or as a minister, Lin Shuai has never failed His Majesty. The prince and the courtiers' request today is just to restore the truth of the past. Why on earth can His Majesty not even agree to such a legitimate request?"
Woolen cloth?"
At the end of the story, Mei Changsu was also emotionally overwhelmed and extremely excited.
Emperor Liang pointed at Mei Changsu in shock and roared: "Who are you? How do you know this? Who are you?"
Mei Changsu remained silent. His goal had been achieved and his emotions had been vented. It would no longer be his home court.
Jamel Xiao took a step forward, stood in front of Mei Changsu, and stared at Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang's eyes fell on Jamel Xiao again, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly rushed to Long Gu, pulled out his sword, and threatened him coldly.
"Prince, do you really want to rebel? Are you afraid that I will kill you? If I kill you, there will be a new prince tomorrow."
Seeing this scene, many people in the hall became nervous, especially those who were closer, such as Meng Zhi, whose hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Jamel Xiao replied equally coldly: "You can kill me, you can kill everyone in the world who wants to find out this case, because you are the king, but when you kill everyone, are you still the aloof king?
"
"My son, I have always regarded the eldest brother as my role model, but I will never be the second eldest brother."
The last words sounded like thunder in Emperor Liang's ears, making even the hand holding his sword tremble.
How could he not understand what Jamel Xiao said? When King Qi faced death, he did not make any resistance and died quietly.
Jamel Xiao said that he would not be the second King Qi, and his meaning was obvious. If King Qi did not resist, it did not mean that he would not resist.
If he is really pushed to the limit, it is not impossible to force the palace to rebel.
To be honest, Emperor Liang was really frightened by Jamel Xiao's last words.
Before today, he would not have been scared, but now, at this moment, he was really scared.
As the emperor, he knows the role of power best. Now, in this palace, the person who holds the power is not him, but Prince Xiao Jamyan.
The long sword in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably. Emperor Liang didn't say anything, and walked straight past Xiao Jamel and Baiguan, and slowly walked out of the hall step by step.
Although Jamel Xiao did not stop him or speak, Meng Zhi followed Emperor Liang with a group of forbidden troops.
In the past, this was protection, but now, it is monitoring and control...
When Emperor Liang returned to the Yangju Hall, his whole spirit became abnormal. He, who had always been authoritative in the end, was really defeated at this moment.
The angry Emperor Liang smashed everything in the palace crazily, and everyone in the palace was driven away. Only Gao Zhan was left, but Gao Zhan did not dare to approach.
Emperor Liang roared loudly, vented, and cursed...
He regrets very much now. He regrets letting Jamel Xiao become the prince. At the same time, it is unbelievable that Jamel Xiao has actually mastered most of the power in the capital, forcing him to such a desperate situation that he can't even resist.
The majestic emperor was forced to this extent by his own son and the prince. This was what made him most desperate and angry.
When no one dared to come in, Concubine Jing walked in.
In the main hall of the birthday banquet, no one left. Everyone was waiting quietly. All of them knew that one of the emperor Liang and the prince must compromise today, and the compromise person would most likely be Liang.
Emperor Liang, so they were all waiting for Emperor Liang to understand the situation.
After waiting for a long time, Mei Changsu motioned to Jamel Xiao to follow him to the side.
"Jingyan, this is not the way to go."
Although Mei Changsu wanted to retrial Chi Yan, he did not want Jamel Xiao to really force the palace to rebel.
Jamel Xiao said: "He will figure it out."
Mei Changsu said: "But this may take a long time. Let me go. I will go see him and maybe I can convince him."
"You? No, no."
Jamel Xiao shook his head. He was afraid that Emperor Liang would be unfavorable to Mei Changsu, so he said, "Let me go."
Mei Changsu said: "If you go, it will only intensify the conflict between you. If I go, it is just to convince him that there will be no danger."
"But……"
"Stop it, today is the best opportunity. If you pass today, the current situation will not be possible again. I want to overturn the case, and do so in an upright and fair way, rather than forcibly. This is my responsibility.
,So, Jingyan, let me go."
Seeing that Mei Changsu was so determined, Jamel Xiao could not refuse, so he could only nod in agreement.
