Chen Chao's voice still echoed in everyone's ears for a long time and never left. Everyone could hear it clearly.
The young man in front of him admitted that he was the child of Prince Yiwen, that he was the brother of the deposed emperor, and that he had the blood of the Chen family flowing in his body.
This actually made everyone fall silent. When His Majesty the Emperor rose up and fought fiercely all the way, he finally broke into the divine capital. Then he deposed the Emperor and set fire to the Imperial City, burying his entire family in a sea of fire.
After that day, all the courtiers believed that no descendants of the deposed emperor's bloodline were still alive, so many courtiers became disheartened and chose to support the new emperor.
But how many of them were forced to do so? Emperor Lingzong appointed Prince Yiwen as the crown prince and the successor of Daliang. After his death, the deposed emperor ascended the throne. This is the orthodox inheritance. Today's emperor
Your Majesty just stole the world.
In the past ten years, those veterans who were originally loyal to Emperor Lingzong and those who originally believed that the deposed emperor was the orthodox successor were able to live in peace with His Majesty the Emperor only because after the deposed emperor, this lineage could no longer exist.
No royal family exists in the world.
Now that the deposed emperor's younger brother has been proven to be alive, in a sense, he may be the most orthodox successor to Daliang.
He should sit on the throne. Although the official of Tianyuyuan accused Chen Chao of seeking the country, many courtiers present did not think so.
For a moment, people's hearts were divided and they were extremely silent. The old nun sneered and said: "Just a bastard, where did such a big battle come from?" Yes, even if Chen Chao is the younger brother of the deposed emperor and the heir of Prince Yiwen,
But after all, he is just a bastard, and the throne cannot be handed over to him no matter what.
"Your Majesty, since Chen Chao's identity has been confirmed, he has hidden his identity for a long time and has been dormant in the court. What he wants to do is like a mirror in everyone's mind. The foundation of our country is due to your Majesty's removal of the faint king and his accession to the throne.
After that, there was such a peaceful and prosperous age, but now that this person appears, I am afraid that he will shake up the world, so I ask your majesty to get rid of him immediately!" The official of the Tianyuyuan spoke again, and then suddenly prostrated.
There was a bang. It was the sound of his head hitting the ground. Blood overflowed from his forehead. This was a death sentence!
At the same time, the courtiers who had wanted Chen Chao to die quickly came out and knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, this person has great intentions. If he is not eliminated, the world will be in trouble! I ask your Majesty to make a quick decision and behead him immediately!" The courtiers walked out one after another and knelt down, all saying almost the same thing.
For a time, the atmosphere in the banquet was extremely tense. Previously, they wanted to kill Chen Chao on the grounds of Song Ting, and perhaps gave Chen Chao a chance to survive. Now, based on Chen Chao's identity, the remnants of the previous dynasty came to get rid of Chen Chao.
There will be no other turning point.
Since His Majesty the Emperor, who is sitting on the throne, has taken away the Chen Dynasty and his family's world, now that the Chen Dynasty appears, I am afraid that anyone who thinks of it will be killed.
No emperor in history would have made any other choice. Any emperor who was not stupid would have made the same choice.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!" It was Song Lian who spoke. After he knelt down, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what Commander Chen has done in the past few years since he became an official in the court is obvious to all. He is a great leader for me.
The majesty of the country is that he dedicated himself to my life and died for me. Even if there are some problems with his identity, he has never done anything to seek the country. If your majesty wants to kill him because of old things, how will your majesty be written in the history books, and how will everyone talk about it in the future?
His Majesty?"
"Song Lian, you are so audacious that you dare to openly protect the remnants of the previous dynasty. Do you also have the intention of seeking the country?!" Just as Song Lian opened his mouth, an official shouted loudly, looking at the newly promoted commander of the right guard, furious.
Nowadays, the public sentiment is very exciting. Even if many people do not agree with the killing of Chen Chao, they will not come out to express their opinions. This is because they are still speculating on the thoughts of Emperor Liang. Only Song Lian dares to speak out at this time.
"I, Song Lian, have been an official for many years, and I have never been greedy for a penny, nor have I ever eaten a meal without a meal. I have only one word of loyalty to Daliang, and only one word of loyalty to His Majesty. It is really ridiculous to say that I, Song Lian, have the heart to seek the country!" Song Lian wrinkled
frown,
"I just don't want Daliang to lose the pillar of a country, and the people of the world to lose a good official!"
"It's ridiculous. People like him can be called the pillars of the country, and they can also be called good officials?!" An official said with a sneer,
"Hidden his identity and entered the court as an official. Even if he has not revealed any evidence of rebellion now, none of the ministers can see what his intentions are. You have defended him repeatedly, and you may have secretly accepted his benefits. You don't know that Song
What official position will your Excellency hold in the new dynasty? Is it the position of guardian envoy?"
"You..." Song Lian was speechless for a moment, unable to refute. The official came from an academy and was an out-and-out scholar. When it came to talking skills, Song Lian was nothing more than a martial artist. How could he compare with the person in front of him in talking skills?
, let alone one Song Lian, even ten Song Lian would not be his opponent.
Song Lian was defeated, and many people were happy to see the result, but after a brief silence, a voice soon sounded, it was Mi Ke who had spoken before.
"Your Majesty is a wise king who has never been seen in the ages. He had to seize the world before, and it was the deposed emperor who made mistakes first. Now that the Chen Dynasty has failed to live up to your majesty, you are going to ask your majesty to kill Commander Chen. Do you really want to
Putting His Majesty in an unkind and unjust situation, and want to make His Majesty infamy for eternity?!" Mi Ke is worthy of being a scholar, and he has righteousness in his mouth when he opens his mouth. He is much smarter than Song Lian.
The official was startled and a little speechless. But soon the voice of the imperial official from the previous day sounded again,
"Lord Mi, I have already had evidence of Chen Chao's plan to seek the country!" Mi Ke had just found the feeling, but when the official from the Tianyuyuan opened his mouth, Mi Ke's heart trembled.
He opened his lips for a moment, unable to say anything. Originally, he was willing to come out and say something for Chen Chao because he didn't want his career, or even his life. But now, if there is really ironclad evidence, no matter how much he says, it will still be nothing.
In vain.
"Since Mr. Liu said there is evidence, where is the evidence?!" The second prince was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again, staring at the official of the Tianyuyuan, the second prince was extremely serious.
"Master Liu needs to know that if you slander you for no reason, His Majesty will not tolerate you!"
"Your Highness, since I dare to speak, I naturally have ironclad evidence in hand, but have you ever asked Commander Chen?" Liu Tong opened his mouth, but His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, and neither did the Second Prince.
The eldest prince looked at the second prince several times and then shook his head. The third prince looked at his second brother with a puzzled expression. Even a young man like him noticed something was wrong.
"Chen Chao, you served as the guardian of Tianqing County at the beginning of the twelfth year of Tianjian, right?" Liu Tong stared at Chen Chao with a burning gaze.
Chen Chao, who had been silent all the time, looked at him and did not rush to speak. After a long time, he said: "Yes." This experience was actually known to many courtiers present.
"Then how did you get the position of Tianqing County Guardian?!" Liu Tong said with a sneer,
"You have never been to the capital of the gods, so where did this position of guardian envoy come from?!" As we all know, the existence of the guardian envoy lineage has always been very special. Since the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, the guardian envoy lineage has been established for
The purpose is to protect the land and the people. The guardian envoys have full jurisdiction over the guardian envoys and are independent of other officials. Except for His Majesty the Emperor, no other officials or criminal officials can interfere with the guardian envoys.
But as time went by, although the line of guardian envoys still played an extremely important role in the Liang Dynasty, the guardian envoys at all levels in the middle and lower classes were no longer what they were before. Instead, they became used by many aristocratic families to provide gifts to future generations.
Gold plated tools.
Many people can get a garrison envoy like Tianqing County with a little effort. When the Chen Dynasty came to prominence, some people checked the Chen Dynasty's files, but there were no problems.
But now that I think about it, in Chen Chao's life experience, he left Weizhou after the flood of Weizhou, and then returned to Weizhou and became a garrison envoy. How did he get the position of garrison envoy? It is very doubtful.
Since it was not awarded by the guardian envoy, it was naturally obtained through some means. Ordinary aristocratic families need to use means. Since Chen Chao was not born into a wealthy family, then who got this official position for him?
After taking it, what was it for? There is a huge problem here. Being able to erase many traces afterwards shows at least two points.
The person who did this for the Chen Dynasty had great power in the Liang Dynasty. What was the purpose of letting such a remnant of the previous dynasty become the guardian of Tianqing County?
These two issues are what Chen Chao needs to explain. They are also the most important things today. The courtiers are not fools, and the heads of the aristocratic families are not fools either. They can naturally figure out the key, so many people are waiting for Chen Chao
say.
Waiting for the truth. Chen Chao was watched by countless people, and Li Heng's eyes were a little worried. He knew a lot, and naturally knew that there was something extremely complicated in it. Logically speaking, it had something to do with the old ministers who were loyal to the deposed emperor.
But if we really want to tell the world, even if it is confirmed that there is a problem with Chen Chao's entry into the court as an official.
"What, you can't speak?" the old nun's sharp voice sounded,
"You little thief, what else can you say?!" There was a hint of joy in her voice. She wanted Chen Chao to die, especially at the hands of Emperor Liang.
This was the best outcome she could think of.
"When I returned from Cangzhou, I accidentally got the trust of the Tianqing County garrison. As a martial artist, I need a lot of money to strengthen my body, so I just used it to practice. But now that I think about it, when we met by chance, there was indeed someone behind the plan."
The story is actually very simple. When Chen Chao accidentally learned the white mist method from the Chongming Sect and became a martial artist, he wanted to devote himself to practice, and happened to get the trust of the guarding envoy. He did not plan to stay in Tianqing County for a long time, because he always felt that
That matter would be known to others, so I had actually thought about leaving for a long time, but I just happened to meet those Qi Refiners.
It sounds like a coincidence, but since coming to the capital of gods, Chen Chao has been thinking about the important point. There are really too many other people's tricks in it.
Although he later knew that this matter was not simple, Emperor Liang did not care, so Chen Chao did not solve it for the time being.
But no one expected that this matter would be revealed here. Chen Chao couldn't explain it clearly. Because the person who planned it wanted Chen Chao couldn't explain it clearly.
Liu Tong asked: "Chen Chao, do you want to completely evade it with the word coincidence?" Chen Chao shook his head.
"I can't explain it clearly, and I can't explain it completely, but that's the fact." He was a little helpless. Along the way, he still ended up trapped in someone else's game.
"Your Majesty, the facts have become clear." Liu Tong sneered. They had already prepared, everything was for today.
It was to prove Chen Chao's crime of seeking the country. Since he was guilty of this crime, could An survive? A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the second prince.
There is no longer any debate, what is waiting is His Majesty the Emperor's decision. What is needed is His Majesty the Emperor's choice.
All eyes were on His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, Emperor Liang had been silent at the banquet. He did not say a few words and allowed the ministers to speak. Now, when no one could say anything more, it was finally his turn to speak.
His Majesty the Emperor sighed first. Everyone held their breath and concentrated.
"Han Pu, was the only one behind that night the Marquis of Huainan?" No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor did not decide whether Chen Chao would live or die, but instead asked about what happened that night.
As the Minister of Dali Temple, Han Pu also remained silent for a long time. Now after listening to these words, he finally raised his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huainan is also under the instructions of others." - There must be more tonight.
