The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 871
Although the show was good, Zhou Chen lost interest after watching it for a while.

After all, due to the constraints of the times, these songs and dances are still a little bit behind compared to the era of special effects in later generations. There are no special effects, and they are all technology.

It's not that technology is inferior to special effects, but that the visual impact brought by the two is different.

Another point is that Zhou Chen himself is a bigwig in the entertainment industry. He has never seen any kind of fancy work. These performances are supported by the appearance of the court ladies, so for Zhou Chen, it is not very attractive. force.

Zhou Chen has been observing everyone, Emperor Liang is still a disrespectful old man, his eyes can't wait to get closer.

There is still a heart to be powerless.

If anyone in the hall is most immersed in it, it must be Emperor Liang's younger brother, Prince Ji of Daliang.

The little old man squinted his eyes and swayed his body from side to side, as if he was beating the beat. He was completely fascinated by the vocal music, and from time to time he picked up the wine glass and drank a glass beautifully.

Speaking of Zhou Chen's perception of the large number of royal children, the one he likes the most is this Prince Ji. Even Xiao Jingyan is not as good as this Prince Ji in his eyes.

Born in the royal family, he does not fight for power or gain, but he can stand alone for more than 30 years without falling. He has truly achieved the level of a happy king.

Moreover, he has been in contact with Prince Ji many times, drank wine several times, and visited Gou Lan several times, which can be regarded as a friend who has forgotten the year. If they are of the same age, they can definitely become good friends who are called brothers.

There were also a few princes who came to the Emperor Liang's birthday banquet, except for the crown prince and Prince Yu, the rest of the princes were marginal figures, and they were all smiling at this time, intoxicated in joy.

On the contrary, Xiao Jingyan, as the crown prince, was sitting in the subordinate position of Emperor Liang, and next to him was the newly married crown prince.

But Xiao Jingyan has always had this expression, so everyone didn't find it strange to see his serious look.

Among the several princes, only King Yu was the most decadent. Although he was sitting in the front seat, his expression was dull, he didn't talk to anyone, and just drank the wine quietly.

Time passed slowly, and a group of maids in red performance costumes slowly came to the center of the hall and started their performance.

Emperor Liang watched the performance with a smile, very complacent. Since the Empress Dowager died of illness, the palace has not been so lively for more than half a year, and he has not had such open drinking for a long time.

Just when the group of dancers finished dancing and was about to leave, suddenly a person walked slowly from outside the hall to the center of the hall.

Emperor Liang, where Ge You was lying, was holding a wine glass and was about to drink. Seeing this scene, he suddenly frowned, sat up straight slowly, and squinted his eyes.

Everyone in the hall also looked at the person who was walking slowly. Everyone knew this person, and he was the younger sister of Emperor Liang, His Royal Highness the eldest princess of Daliang.

Gao Zhan bowed his head and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Emperor Liang looked puzzled: "Why is she here?"

Princess Liyang is naturally qualified to attend his birthday banquet, but he didn't see it when he paid homage to him before, but she appeared at this time, so he was surprised.

The moment Princess Liyang appeared, Mei Changsu's expression immediately changed. Although he had thought of it many times in his mind, he was still a little nervous and excited when it happened, but his willpower was super strong. , It is easy to restrain my emotions.

Princess Liyang ignored others and walked straight to the front of the hall. Not far from Emperor Liang, she knelt down slowly and made a big salute.

Emperor Liang didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and said with a chuckle: "Li Yang, just now all the ministers paid my birthday wishes, why didn't I see you?"

Princess Liyang didn't even dare to look at Emperor Liang, but she said firmly, "My sister's worship is not just to celebrate His Majesty's birthday."

Emperor Liang showed doubts on his face: "Why is today's worship not a birthday celebration?"

Li Yang took out the handwritten letter Xie Yu had left for her from her cuff, slowly opened it, held it with both hands, and faced Emperor Liang.

"Chenmei wants to take this opportunity to represent Xie Yu, the guilty minister, in front of all the relatives and noble ministers, and confess the crime of deceiving the emperor and killing Zhongliang."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. Today is Emperor Liang's birthday banquet, but Princess Liyang said such words. What is the situation? Is this trying to slap His Majesty in the face?
The unaware ministers in the palace all looked at Princess Liyang in bewilderment.

The prince's family members who were sitting in the front were also stunned. The decadent Yu Wang sat up straight suddenly, his eyes burst out with a ray of light, and he looked at Princess Liyang in shock. He already had some guesses in his heart. It's just that the eyes are full of disbelief.

As for Emperor Liang, his already angry face changed, he pursed his lips, and asked with an ugly expression: "What do you want to say?"

"Xie Yu is dead. I have already dealt with his crimes, and you and the child have not been implicated. Do you still have any dissatisfaction? Do you want to make a big fuss at my birthday banquet?"

Although Princess Liyang was afraid of dying, she still mustered up her courage and said loudly: "Although Xie Yu is dead, he still has a serious crime that has not been announced to the world. I am afraid that I will be punished by the heavens, so I ask your Majesty Rong Chenmei to play it in detail."

After speaking, he kowtowed again.

But Emperor Liang was so angry that he slammed the table, stood up from the dragon chair, and yelled.

"What occasion is this? I don't want to listen, you go down, go down."

Although he still doesn't know exactly what Princess Liyang wants to say, but he is very clear that what Princess Liyang will say next is definitely not good, so he doesn't want to give Princess Liyang this chance.

But Princess Liyang was determined, she ignored Emperor Liang at all, raised her head, still holding the handwriting in her hand, and started her own narration.

"13 years ago, Xie Yu conspired with Xia Jiang to make a scholar surnamed Li imitate the handwriting of Nie Feng, the forward general of the Red Flame Army, forge a letter of informant, and falsely accuse Lin Xie, the commander of the Red Flame Army, of conspiracy to deceive the monarch. This is the same crime. "

"In order to falsely accuse the Red Flame Army and cut off the source of correspondence, Xie Yu led his troops to ambush Nie Feng's Qianfeng camp, annihilating his entire army, and framing Commander Lin. This is the second crime."

When Emperor Liang heard that this was the case, his face turned red, and he pointed at Li Yang angrily, wanting to angrily reprimand Li Yang to shut up, but Princess Li Yang didn't care at all and continued on.

"During the march, Xie Yu lied that Lin Xie was going to send troops to the capital, deceived the emperor's soldiers, and ambushed Meiling with Xia Jiang. When the bloody battle between the Red Flame Army and the Dayu Army was exhausted, he did not announce the decree, did not call for surrender, did not expect it, and acted recklessly. The massacre caused [-] loyal souls to die in Meiling; but afterwards they lied that the Red Flame Army had conspired against the order and had to be wiped out on the spot. This is the third crime."

Liang Diqi's body was trembling, and he sat back on the dragon chair again, roaring angrily: "Shut up, shut up."

"Come here, drag her down to me, drag her down."

The Imperial Forest Army guarding outside the hall heard Emperor Liang's roar, responded loudly, and then moved.

The footsteps of the outer hall kept ringing, and many people could be heard rushing in, but what was puzzling was that the door of the inner hall was still closed, and the Imperial Forest Army didn't rush in, instead, there was no sound outside.

This kind of movement made all the relatives and noble ministers in the palace look terrified, and they all felt that something was wrong.

When everyone was puzzled, Meng Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army who had been standing beside Emperor Liang, suddenly walked out, came to the front of the hall, and knelt down on his knees in front of Emperor Liang.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what the Eldest Princess said."

Emperor Liang was dumbfounded in an instant, looking at Meng Zhi who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief, never expecting that the most loyal person around him would actually betray him.

"Meng Zhi, you, you actually, also..."

Now he finally understood why the Imperial Forest Army outside the hall didn't come in. It wasn't that his order was useless, but that the Imperial Forest Army was stopped by the Imperial Army.

The commander of the forbidden army who guarded his safety led the forbidden army to betray him. Just thinking about it made him feel chills in his back.

The faces of all the officials in the hall were also shocked. First, the eldest princess raised the old case more than ten years ago, and then the commander of the forbidden army rebelled. This signal is really scary.

Yu Wang Xiao Jinghuan, who has a keen sense of smell, even changed his face drastically, and soon he cast his gaze on Xiao Jingyan who had been sitting quietly.

'Xiao Jingyan, what do you want to do? '

Seeing that she was not in any danger, Princess Liyang continued: "After the Meiling massacre, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang used Commander Lin's golden seal to forge letters and falsely accuse the Chiyan Army of rebelling against King Qi, intending to force the palace to usurp the throne and make Qi The king suffered unjust injustice, and his entire family was wiped out. This is four crimes."

These words completely made Emperor Liang lose his mind, King Qi is his son, father killed son, this will always be a difficult hurdle in his heart.

He grabbed the things on the table and threw them at Princess Liyang indiscriminately.

But Princess Liyang remained indifferent and continued to explain.

"After the unjust case happened, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang blocked all avenues for redressing their grievances. Those who knew the inside story and wanted to sue were all cut off one by one. What they said did not reach the heavens. This is the fifth crime."

"The five major crimes were all confessed by Xie Yu in his own handwriting. There is absolutely no false statement. Please also clarify the grievances of your majesty, follow the laws of heaven, and decree to retry the case of the Chi Yanjun."

"With His Majesty's permission, even if my sister dies, she can rest in peace."

After speaking, she bowed down again.

The voice of Princess Liyang reverberated in the hall, many relatives and nobles looked at each other in blank dismay, and many people secretly looked up at Emperor Liang, wanting to see his reaction.

Emperor Liang was already out of breath, and shouted loudly: "Yu Linjun, where is the Yulin army, Yulin army..."

It's a pity that the imperial forest army in the outer hall was blocked by the imperial army several times larger than him, and couldn't enter the inner hall at all.

And the commander of the Imperial Forest Army was also shrewd, he didn't order an attack, and just stood in a stalemate with the Imperial Army outside.

This may seem absurd, but it is actually normal. Since Xiao Jingyan dared to force the palace today, he had naturally made sufficient preparations. The Imperial Forest Army is not a death squad, and naturally has weaknesses. Knowing that they are invincible, they will not seek their own death.

Seeing that he didn't respond to his shouts, Emperor Liang also felt the pressure in his heart. He knew that this was a conspiracy against him.

Seeing Emperor Liang sitting on the dragon chair and never giving his will, Princess Nihuang, who had been prepared for a long time, stood up from the table, came to the middle, and knelt down beside Princess Liyang.

"Your Majesty, I was betrothed to Lin Shu by the Empress Dowager. Thirteen years have passed, and the agreement has not been annulled. As a survivor of the Lin family, Nihuang begs Your Majesty to retrial the case of Chi Yan."

Seeing Mu Nihuang prostrating on the ground, Emperor Liang, who was already furious, sneered even more.

"It was because of the royal family that I didn't implicate Prince Mu's mansion back then. I didn't expect you, you actually, you also..."

At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted Emperor Liang's angry reprimand.

I saw Cai Quan, the impartial and impartial Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who had always been impartial and impartial, walked out of the line of ministers and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what the eldest princess said is shocking, and Xie Yu's handwriting is the evidence. If it is not thoroughly investigated, it is not enough. With the hearts of the people in the An Dynasty, I also ask Your Majesty to act as the princess, and from now on, re-examine the case of the emperor's eldest son and Chi Yan, so as to show your majesty's virtuousness and holiness."

Although Cai Quan is an iron-headed boy, he is also a smart person. He not only clarified his attitude, but also set up Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang was about to get angry, but another important minister came out and agreed with Cai Quan's proposal.

"Your Majesty, what Cai Shangshu said is very true, and I agree with you."

Shen Zhui, Minister of the Household Department, was no longer afraid at this time, he also stood up and shouted loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal."

With these three ministers taking the lead, the courtiers in the hall came out one by one, shouting for second, but in the blink of an eye, most of the courtiers stood up, only a few courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, hesitated in their hearts, and did not stand up.

"The minister seconded the proposal." "The minister also seconded the proposal."......

This scene was really shocking, Emperor Liang was really dumbfounded, stood up again in shock, and looked at this scene in disbelief.

Even Yu Wang, who hadn't asked about the court affairs for a long time, looked at this scene in horror, and he already believed that Xiao Jingyan must have caused all this.

But he couldn't believe that Xiao Jingyan had only been the crown prince for a few months, yet so many courtiers stood by him and even helped him fight against his father. This simply refreshed his world view.

He has only stopped asking about world affairs for a few months, has Daliang Chaotang become like this?

Prince Ji, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up unsteadily and walked to the middle. He didn't dare to raise his head at first, but he quickly raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Liang.

"My brother thinks that the request of all the ministers is very reasonable, please allow your majesty."

Emperor Liang looked at King Ji who was prostrate on the ground, and pointed at him angrily: "Even you, you too..."

Excited, he held his violently beating heart. King Ji's betrayal was more difficult for him to accept than the courtier's petition.

Because Ji Wang is the younger brother of his mother and compatriots, he has never disobeyed him for decades, so he feels that Ji Wang's betrayal is unacceptable.

Seeing the agitated Emperor Liang, Gao Zhan hurried forward to appease him, but was pushed away by Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang excitedly looked at his brothers and sisters who were kneeling on the ground, as well as all the courtiers, and roared angrily.

"What are you guys? Are you forcing me together? Huh?"

"Xie Yuren died a long time ago. Just based on a handwritten letter that is hard to tell whether it is true or false, and based on her non-existent rhetoric, do you want me to retry the old case from more than ten years ago?"

Speaking of this, he excitedly threw away all the items on the dragon case and glared at the ministers.

At this time, others dared not speak, but Cai Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was not afraid at all. Although he knelt on the ground, he raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this case is not only about Xie Yu's crime, but also about convincing the world. If the imperial court's disposition is ignored, rumors will spread everywhere, and what will be hurt is His Majesty's reputation and the stability of the country, I ask His Majesty to accept the remonstrance and allow the case of Chi Yan to be retried."

Zhou Chen stared at Cai Quan. He was also greatly admired by Cai Quan's generous words. This Cai Quan is indeed a capable minister, and he dares to speak out, which is better than [-]% of the court officials.

You must know that Emperor Liang is the supreme emperor. Cai Quan did not give Emperor Liang face and persecuted him in public. This is not the courage that everyone can have.

You can say that he is too upright and doesn't know how to protect himself, but any dynasty must never lack such an upright and good minister.
