Regarding the request to reveal the truth about the unjust case on Emperor Liang's birthday, Xiao Jingyan still did not force himself to visit Princess Yang.He believed that his aunt was not entirely heartless.The facts were indeed the same, even though his heart was full of fear of the first lawsuit against the Golden Palace, Li Yang still went and returned to agree to this matter, and Xiao Jingyan naturally made his promise.

The heavy rain in early autumn is the best way to wash away the heat, and the whole government and the public are calm under the supervision of the prince, and everything is as usual, only the Ministry of Rites is a little busy preparing for the emperor's birthday ceremony.Except for a few courtiers and clan who were trusted by Xiao Jingyan, no one knew that a storm that had been brewing for a long time was coming.

On the morning of Emperor Liang's birthday, Xiao Jingyan got up early.After grooming and dressing up, he chose to enter the palace to pay his respects, and shared breakfast with Emperor Liang and Concubine Jing.Mei Changsu also entered the Hall of Martial Heroes as a guest of the Great Liang and waited. Under Xiao Jingyan's advance advice and care, no one could have the slightest embarrassment for this Mr. Su, and his seat was arranged early. Mu Qing's side.

Things were progressing very smoothly, a group of court ladies swayed their water sleeves to the sound of silk and bamboo, and there were beautiful smiling faces in the red dresses.Emperor Liang happily sat on his throne, not knowing what was going to happen next.

At the end of the song, amidst the figures of the dancers pushing back in an orderly manner, the Princess Liyang in a black dress had already walked slowly onto the brocade carpet in the palace and stood gracefully.

As soon as her figure appeared, the hall was already quiet, and everyone couldn't help pushing their cups and holding their chopsticks, and looked at her with wide eyes.Emperor Liang, who was on the throne, also involuntarily put down the golden cup in his hand. Unexpectedly, she would appear, and asked in a little surprise:

"Liyang, do you want to congratulate Zhen on his birthday? Why didn't I see you when all the officials came to congratulate me just now?"

Princess Liyang showed determination in her eyes, took a deep breath, knelt down on the spot, raised the handwriting left by Xie Yu above her head, and said loudly:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. My sister wants to take this opportunity to represent the sinful minister Xie Yu in front of all the relatives and nobles. I will confess the crime of treason to deceive the king and kill Zhongliang. Disturb Your Majesty's Yaxing, my sister The crime deserves ten thousand deaths, but Xie Yu's crime is so heinous that both men and gods are indignant, my sister dare not hide it, if I don't confess to the imperial court and make it known to the world, I am afraid that it will attract the punishment of the heavens, please be wise, Your Majesty, sister Rong Chen play."

"What are you talking about... Isn't Xie Yu already dead? I have dealt with his crimes... Li Yang, although I didn't forgive him, but in your face, I still punished him lightly, and I didn't With you and the children involved, what shortcomings do you have to make such a fuss on my birthday?"

Faced with the gloomy gaze shot by Emperor Liang, Princess Liyang gritted her teeth, and the timidity in her chest at first faded away, and her voice became clearer:

"Your Majesty will naturally understand why my sister confessed on behalf of her husband in this birthday hall. Thirteen years ago, Xie Yu conspired with Xia Jiang to make a scholar imitate the handwriting of Chi Yan's forward general Nie Feng, forge a secret letter, and frame Lin Shuai rebelled, deceived the monarch, and finally caused a huge case, which is one of his crimes..."

With just such a sentence, the entire Hall of Martial Heroes exploded instantly, as if a spoonful of cold water had been poured into boiling oil.Emperor Liang's face also changed, he raised a trembling finger and said angrily to her:

"Are... are you crazy?"

"In order to prove the content of the false accusation. Xie Yu secretly sealed Juehun Valley with fire, drove Nie Feng's troops into a desperate situation, wiped out the entire army, and framed Commander Lin. This is the second crime."

Princess Liyang completely ignored the surrounding disturbances, and still said loudly:

"Xie Yu took advantage of being in the army to know the frontline battle situation and Chi Yan's dynamics, and lied that Commander Lin wanted to send troops to the capital. He deceived His Majesty's soldier amulet, and Xia Jiang ambush Meiling. At the time of exhaustion, they did not proclaim the decree, did not invite surrender, did not intend to massacre and stabbed [-] loyal souls in Meiling, and then falsely claimed that the victims had rebelled against the decree and had to be exterminated on the spot. This is the third crime... ..."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Emperor Liang finally couldn't listen anymore, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he shouted loudly:

"Come here! Drag her down to me! Drag her down!"

For some reason, the imperial guards who used to be there on call didn't show up even after Liang Di called several times.

"After the Meiling massacre, Xia Jiang and Xie Yu used the gold seal and private seal of Marshal Lin they had handed over to them to forge the correspondence, falsely accusing that King Qi was behind Chi Yan's treason, with the intention of forcing the palace to usurp the throne, causing King Qi to suffer injustice. , the whole family was wiped out, this is the four crimes..."

Princess Liyang knew that she couldn't stop at this moment, and with a little momentum in her chest, she said without hesitation:

"After the injustice case happened, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang relied on their military power and power to block all channels of grievance appeal. Anyone who had a little knowledge of the inside story and did not lose their conscience and intended to report it was cut off one by one by them. Also. The five major crimes were all confessed by Xie Yu himself, and there was absolutely no falsehood. After reading his handwriting, my sister was inexplicably shocked, and couldn't rest day and night. The purpose is to re-examine the case of Chi Yan, so as to reassure the hearts of the loyal souls and the people. If you are allowed to be gracious, even if your sister dies... you can rest in peace."

Tears rolled down the eyes of Princess Liyang, she spread her sleeves and bowed down, touching her forehead to the ground.This slowly kowtowed head was like a heavy hammer, hitting the chests of everyone in the hall.Although the words were concise and without exaggeration, the truth she confessed was really shocking. Anyone who has a little sense of right and wrong and conscience in their hearts will more or less be aroused with some grief and indignation.

Amidst the uproar in the hall, Meng Zhi was the first to stand up, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, the horrifying remarks made by the eldest princess, as evidenced by Xie Yu's handwriting, are not fanatical lies. If a thorough investigation is not carried out, it will not be enough to secure the hearts of the people. Your Majesty, please approve what he said, and appoint fair ministers. From now on Re-examine the Chi Yan case, find out the truth, and show His Majesty's wisdom and virtue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongshuling Liu Cheng, Shen Zhui, Cai Quan and others also came out one after another, and they all said loudly:

"My minister agrees!"

Everyone was a little excited at this moment, and these were all important courtiers. As soon as they stood up, a large number of them immediately followed. Even King Ji, who had always been idle, got up slowly, his eyes were slightly red and said:

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

"You... even you..."

The loose cheeks of Emperor Liang's face trembled, coughed and panted several times, and leaned over the imperial case.

"What are you doing? Are you forcing me? Xie Yuren is already dead, and you still say that he is not guilty. It's just a handwritten letter. It's hard to distinguish the authenticity. Isn't it a big deal to mobilize people like this? Give me back Down... Back down..."

Cai Quan took a step forward, raised his head and said:

"Your Majesty, the truth of this matter is not only about what crime Xie Yu deserves, but more importantly, it is to convince the world of the imperial court's handling. Injustice or not, you will know after investigation. If you just wipe it out, there will be controversy, and the people will be divorced. , The officers and men are worried and chilled, and those who are injured are His Majesty's reputation and the stability of the Liangjiang Mountains, please accept the advice of the ministers and others, and allow the Chi Yan case to be re-examined!"

"Second minister! Second!"

Mu Qing almost waved his hands and said:

"Such a strange injustice through the ages, who in the hall dares to feel the conscience and say that you can just listen to it and pretend you didn't hear it, and don't investigate or ask? If the case is wrongly tried, of course it will be retried. This is the simplest truth!"

"presumptuous!"

Emperor Liang was so angry that his beard and hair spouted, and his teeth chattered.

"Mu Qing, are you trying to rebel!"

At this moment, Yan Hou interjected coldly:

"The minister also seconded the proposal. The eldest princess made the first report in public. What she said was clear about the past, the facts were clear, and there was nothing absurd. According to the situation and the law, her report should be approved and the case opened for retrial. I really don't understand why your majesty hesitated. decision?"

His words pierced Emperor Liang's heart like a knife, and he was so angry that he was speechless.At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been watching coldly and silently, finally stood up in front of everyone's eyes. The body wrapped in the dragon-embroidered robe moved slowly, but it showed a dazzling majesty and dignity. strength.

"My sons and ministers seconded."

Just four simple words like this, but with the energy of thunderbolt and lightning, it landed with a sound, instantly crushing Emperor Liang's last defense and persistence.
