hello love

Isn't Tao more important than life? "It was Lin Chen who spoke.

Jing Han turned his head and looked at the water in Lin Chen's eyes: "Listen to his argument, he is almost enlightened to Buddhahood. If you can understand his mind, stop torturing him with your loyalty, he won't I will agree, but I have to spend the little energy left to persuade you, why bother? If you force him to fully understand, I am afraid that he will become a monk before he dies..."

"It may not be a good thing!" Jing Han interrupted Lin Chen's sadness, "I have some..."

"Don't be sad, it's not that this grass is completely useless, but it can slow down a little longer." Lin Chen sighed, ignored Jing Han, put the bottle into his arms, patted the front of his clothes and went alone. gone.

The three people left by Lin Chen in the courtyard were like clay sculptures, their stiff bodies didn't move for a long time.Jing Han sighed and looked at the three of them. Although he really didn't want to have the same knowledge as this group of people, but after he was gone, Xiaoshu still had to let them take care of him: "It's not a bad thing either!"

"What?" Zhen Ping didn't react.

"Xiao Shu, he won't die!" Jing Han seemed to have made some decision, "He will live longer than any of you! Because he deserves a long and healthy life, looking at the prince he helped to the throne, Gradually become an emperor! If Xiao Jingyan is missing Xiaoshu, he will be in trouble!"

"Yes, the suzerain won't die!" Wei Zheng nodded, but the eyes of the eight-foot man were bright red, "I won't die!"

Li Gang also nodded in agreement, only Zhen Ping looked at Jing Han with some confusion.Why did he feel that the king of Qin was stating a fact just now, and not for their casual comfort?Also, isn't the clothes on him the suzerain's?

Prelude

Liang Emperor Xiaoxuan's birthday can be regarded as a grand ceremony, and to hold the ceremony this time, the furnishings in the Wuying Hall have been newly decorated.People who are eligible to enter the hall are seated according to their status and rank. The male members of the clan are headed by King Ji and occupy the first step on the right side of the hall, while the female family members are surrounded by a low golden screen in an independent area on the left front of the throne.

Officials sit in left and right positions according to their civil and military ranks. Those with lower ranks are farther away from the throne. Officials with fifth rank and below can only bow outside the hall and then withdraw, and are not eligible to participate in the next banquet.Jing Han belonged to the clan and was a first-rank member of the imperial court. After thinking about it, he still sat under King Ji, which was considered closer to Emperor Liang. As for Mei Changsu, he was naturally carried by Jing Han.

Since singing and dancing are not allowed, there is no need to leave too much space in the hall. The Ministry of Rituals deliberately arranged for everyone to sit relatively tightly, and only spread a ten-foot-square brocade carpet at a place three feet away from the steps in front of the throne, for the presentation in the middle of the ceremony. Psalmists stand there and chant.For the Ministry of Rituals, these are things that have been done well. There are systems and routines for procedures, rules, and hall layouts, and there are no difficulties except for trivialities.

As the golden bell rang nine times, Xiao Jingyan helped Emperor Liang go up the golden steps and took his seat. His footing was firm, and his eyes quickly scanned every corner of the hall.Except for the reduction of singing and dancing and musical performances, the procedure of the ceremony is not much different from previous years, that is, the relatives and important officials kowtowed and saluted in batches, offered congratulatory speeches, and the emperor rewarded them one by one.

Afterwards, the ceremonial official announced the opening of the banquet, and waited for the emperor to order the chopsticks, and the three cups of wine were full.Then the crown prince will lead the clan favorites who are qualified to present presents one by one in public to present their carefully selected and prepared birthday presents.Generally speaking, the whole hall is relatively solemn during worship.But when it comes to presenting the birthday ceremony.

The atmosphere in the hall has basically turned brisk, waiting for all the gifts to be displayed in public one by one.Confident courtiers would go to ask for orders, stand on the brocade carpet in the hall, recite their own hymns, win praises with wonderful words or funny jokes, and win the attention of the superiors.

According to previous experience, there will be one or two people who stand out on this brocade carpet every year, so everyone is eating and drinking while waiting for who will make a big splash here this year. Jing Han naturally knew what was going on today from Mei Changsu's mouth. This time, he only brought Yu Lin, who was appointed to be the crown prince, to sit there. Lay a foundation for the upper ranks.

But in a moment, the downcast Princess Liyang adjusted the cuffs of the plain thin shirt, brushed the black cloud veil that was half hanging on the side of her face behind her head, and stood up with a pale face. Stepping out of the golden screen, he walked slowly to the brocade carpet in the hall, where he stood gracefully.

Jing Han raised his glass to cover the corners of his lips. At this moment, the hall fell silent because of Li Yang's sudden actions. Everyone stared at her with wide eyes. Even Emperor Liang, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but put down the golden cup in his hand. , slightly surprised and asked: "Liyang?"

Princess Liyang showed determination in her eyes, took a deep breath, and raised her chin: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I just want to take this opportunity to make an offering to Xie Yu, the scapegoat, in front of all the relatives and nobles. The crime of deceiving the emperor and framing and killing Zhongliang. The crime of disturbing your Majesty's elegance deserves ten thousand deaths, but Xie Yu's crime is so heinous that the people and gods are all angry. My sister really dare not hide it. In the world, I am afraid that it will attract the punishment of the heavens, so please Your Majesty, Sister Rong Chen, to play it in detail."

"Xie Yu is dead, I have dealt with his crimes already!" Emperor Liang's face darkened, he was dissatisfied that his birthday banquet was interrupted.More importantly, he started to panic inexplicably in his heart, as if something was about to get out of his control, "You and the child are not implicated, what is your dissatisfaction, do you want to make a fuss at my birthday banquet?"

"Although Xie Yu is dead, he still has a serious crime to be announced to the world! This crime is so monstrous that all people and gods are indignant! If you don't pay tribute to the emperor, I'm afraid you will be condemned by the heavens. Please also listen to your sister's confession on behalf of your husband!" Li Yang The eldest princess gritted her teeth, directly ignoring Emperor Liang's furious rage, and her voice became clearer, "13 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 Lin. Shuai conspired to rebel, deceived the monarch, and finally led to a big case, which is one of the crimes..."

With just such a sentence, the entire Wuying Hall exploded instantly as if a spoonful of cold water had been poured into boiling oil.

"In order to make a false accusation. Xie Yu secretly sealed the Juehun Valley with fire, drove Nie Feng's troops into a desperate situation, and wiped out the entire army. He also blamed Lin Shuai. This is the second crime." Princess Liyang ignored her surroundings completely. Despite the interference, he 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. When the Yan army and the invading Yu army were exhausted in the bloody battle, they did not announce the decree, did not surrender, and deliberately massacred [-] loyal souls in Meiling. Afterwards, they falsely claimed that the victim had rebelled against the decree, and had to accept it. The land is wiped out. There are three crimes..."

Emperor Liang's expression also changed, he raised a trembling finger to Princess Chang, and said angrily, "Li Yang!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Emperor Liang finally couldn't listen anymore, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and hissed loudly. "Come here! Drag her down to me! Drag her down!"

Meng Zhi walked down the steps and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, please listen to what the Eldest Princess has to say!"

"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 destroyed, and there are four crimes," Princess Liyang knew that she couldn't stop at this time.

Involving King Qi immediately ignited Emperor Liang's anger and overturned the table in front of him.

Li Yang took a deep breath, and without looking at the person kneeling beside him, he said without hesitation, "After the grievance case happened, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang relied on their military power to seal all grievance cases. The way of speaking, anyone who knows the inside story and his conscience has not lost his intention to report it will be cut off one by one by him. If what he says does not reach the heavens, there are five crimes. The five serious crimes are all confessed by Xie Yu himself, and there is no half of them. False words. After reading his handwriting, my sister was shocked and inexplicably shocked, and it was difficult to rest day and night. Therefore, I made the first report to the imperial court. I also hope that your majesty will clarify the grievances, follow the laws of heaven, and decree to retrial the case of Chi Yan, so as to reassure the hearts of the loyal soul and the people. If you are granted permission, the minister Even if my 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 today is 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.

"Yu Linjun, where is the Yulin Army!" Emperor Liang didn't want to listen to an explanation at all, he just wanted to get Li Yang away.On the contrary, the present crown prince, King Jing, turned his head to look at Emperor Liang, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.The imperial forest army had long been surrounded by the soldiers of his East Palace, and these soldiers were handed over to him by Jing Han, the former Chi Yan old man.

Nihuang looked at Mei Changsu who was sitting next to Jing Han with a calm face, got up and stood up: "Your Majesty! I was betrothed to Lin Shu by the Empress Dowager! Thirteen years have passed, and the agreement has not been annulled." ! Nihuang implores His Majesty, as the survivor of the Lin family, to retry the Chiyan case!"

The whole hall was in an uproar, and the ministers also stood up one after another...

"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, Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng, Cheng Gelao, Shen Zhui, Cai Quan and others all came out one after another, and they all said loudly: "Shi Shangshu
