Chapter 649: Whose shoulders does the future of Daliang Dynasty fall on?
silence.
Deathly silence..br
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Soon the courtiers reacted and knelt down to salute, shouting "long live the mountain".
No matter what happened before, the fact that Emperor Liang appears here now, in front of the courtiers, can explain a lot of things.
Emperor Liang sat in his chair and didn't speak for a long time, just silent.
The courtiers knelt on the ground with different thoughts. What happened today is no longer a secret. The Wei family had conspired to rebel and the entire clan had been executed.
As a Wei family that has existed longer than the Liang Dynasty, it has a long history. Before last night, no one would have thought that such a towering tree would fall down like this in an instant.
Just one night, the sky in Daliang Dynasty changed.
After this night, the Xie family became the largest family in the Daliang Dynasty, and there were no constraints anymore. It is hard to say what role the Xie family would play in the Daliang Dynasty in the future. Will it lead to a dominant family and give birth to many children?
It's hard to talk about troublesome things.
This kind of situation in the court is not what many people want to see, but the reasons for the demise of the Wei family are indeed irrefutable.
The Wei family is a ghost.
It's a ghost hiding in Daliang.
If it were another emperor, if it were another dynasty, he might have turned a blind eye and would not have had a falling out with Fang Wai, but in this current building, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, this ghost would only be able to be beaten by Fang Wai.
If found, it must be removed.
And with this ghost being eliminated, it can be said that there has never been a time when the Liang Dynasty could cut off the connection between itself and Fang Wai so cleanly as it does now.
Such a big beam might be able to accomplish something if Fang Wai gets rid of it, but the problem is that Fang Wai won't just sit idly by.
So the Guanzhu and the Sword Sect master took action one after another.
The war is over.
Emperor Liang is still alive.
This story seems to be almost finished.
But what does it mean for His Majesty the Emperor to convene a court meeting at this moment?
The courtiers were thinking about this and were very confused, but no one dared to speak. Everyone knelt in silence, kneeling before the human emperor who had shown himself to be unparalleled in the world.
"Pingshen."
Emperor Liang finally spoke, his voice calm.
The courtiers stood up, still lowering their heads. Some couldn't help but peek at His Majesty the Emperor sitting in front of the main hall, and found that there was nothing unusual about His Majesty the Emperor except that his face was pale.
"My dear friends, I think you have heard about what happened last night."
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "Who would have thought that the Wei family, who is known as my minister of the Liang Dynasty, was actually a ghost sent to the secular world by Fang Wai from the beginning?"
Although His Majesty the Emperor was smiling, everyone could hear the chill in his words.
As early as the Emperor of Daliang ascended the throne, he had already started to clean up the ghosts lurking in Daliang outside the country, including the ghost hunting that year in the cold winter, and later the destruction of the Xia family, to the cleanup on the night of the Palace Change, and now with the force of thunder.
Destroy the Wei family.
These things and these people all affected the entire Liang Dynasty. Once they were touched, it might shake the entire Liang Dynasty. Another emperor might not have done it, but the Emperor of Liang Dynasty not only did it, but he also did it decisively.
"Many years ago, I knew that the government and the public were full of ghosts. Daliang seemed prosperous, but in fact it was just a marionette... Every move was subject to many constraints."
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "Someone will say it if they think about it. Even so, so what, this has been like this since ancient times. If the outside world is powerful, ordinary people should keep their heads down."
"But no one is born to have his head lowered, and no one is born to be stepped on."
"It's always been like this, right?"
The Emperor of Daliang shook his head and said calmly: "I have done so many things, and many people are afraid that they will secretly curse me for being hostile to Fangwai and putting Daliang into a crisis. But I just want to tell you that it is easy to live with your head down.
But even if you are willing to accept this life, your children, your grandchildren, your
Future generations may not necessarily accept it. If we don’t think about ourselves, we should probably think about our children and future generations.”
Having said this, Emperor Daliang glanced around, but no one dared to meet his gaze. He was silent for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head and said: "That's all, no matter what, after today, Daliang will be just Daliang, and we don't know what the future holds."
, just work hard and move forward.”
Having said this, Emperor Liang waved his hands a little tiredly, "Where is the Taishi Ling?"
Tai Shiling walked out from the group of ministers, glanced at Emperor Liang with some confusion, and then lowered his head and said, "I am here."
"What happened last night and what happened today will be left in the annals of history?"
Emperor Liang asked calmly.
Tai Shiling said seriously: "Your Majesty, as a historian, I will naturally record everything that happened."
"Have you never said anything false?"
Emperor Liang looked at Tai Shi Ling.
Taishi Ling solemnly said: "No."
Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction and waved Taishi Ling to retreat.
Then His Majesty the Emperor took a deep look at the courtiers present, then turned his head, looked at Chen Chao who had been standing beside him, and said softly: "I said before that I got this world from a nephew.
You can also give it back to another nephew. This is not an empty promise. Now I ask you again. I will hand over the world to you. Are you willing to take it?"
Emperor Liang's voice was very soft, but not quiet. Many courtiers could hear it clearly at this moment.
"Your Majesty, no!"
The first person to speak was none other than Tai Shi Ling, who had spoken before.
The historian of the Liang Dynasty said solemnly: "Your Majesty was at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, so why should he explain his future affairs? Even if he really wants to pass on the throne, he still has a prince, so he must not pass it on to outsiders!"
For a moment, the courtiers all reacted and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Your Majesty, how can we give up our ancestral power to others?"
"Your Majesty, think twice. If this is the case, the clan system will be useless!"
The courtiers are not fools. Judging from His Majesty the Emperor's current decisions, they all guessed that His Majesty the Emperor has already run out of fuel after the battle with the Guanzhu and the Sword Sect leader. Otherwise, how could he arrange his funeral arrangements now?
But even if funeral arrangements have to be made, what will happen to the Chen Dynasty if this new king succeeds to the throne?
How could it be Chen Chao?
The two princes who had already arrived were silent. The eldest prince smiled bitterly. He probably had already thought about today's situation. His father was dissatisfied with several of his sons. Whether it was him, the second eldest son, or the third eldest son.
He was never a son that his father liked.
On the contrary, Chen Chao was deeply loved by his father from the very beginning.
Now when it comes time to pass the position, I still won't choose them.
The third prince lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
He didn't say a word, just clenched his fists.
"Chen Chao is my nephew. The blood flowing in his blood is the blood of my Chen family. Why should I treat him like an outsider?"
Emperor Liang refuted the officials, waved his sleeves, and just turned to look at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you pushing me into a pit of fire?"
Saying this in front of all the ministers in the world and the two princes, if Chen Chao shook his head, wouldn't the new king keep today's events in his heart?
This is obviously the conspiracy of Emperor Liang.
"If it wasn't for the throne, how could I die so easily?"
Emperor Daliang smiled and said: "Just look after Daliang for me for the time being."
Chen Chao looked at Emperor Liang with a little sadness in his eyes.
"The Sword Sect Master's sword became nine points. I gave him the last point and he promised me something. You will know what it is specifically. As for Chixin Guan, I also have arrangements, so there is no need to worry."
Emperor Liang spoke these words from his heart, and no one except Chen Chao could hear them.
Chen Chao also responded with his heartfelt voice, "Has Your Majesty anticipated today's situation?"
"Fang Wai only thought that I had gone very far in the realm of martial arts.
, the courtiers only think that I am arbitrary, but am I a fool?"
Emperor Liang glanced at Chen Chao with some pride, an emotion he rarely showed.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly.
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "But I still feel a little unsure. After all, there is still one person who has not fought, and that person is stronger than the Guanzhu and the Sword Sect master combined."
"So make some preparations."
Chen Chao said: "It's the Demon Emperor."
Emperor Liang nodded. This situation started with the Wei family, but ended up falling on the Demon Emperor.
Chen Chao then became even more worried.
No matter whether it is the temple master or the master of the Sword Sect, they are all too far apart in front of the Demon Emperor.
Emperor Liang shook his head and signaled Chen Chao not to worry, and then asked again: "Chen Chao, are you willing?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I accept the emperor's favor and dare not think like this."
This time the two of them had a conversation that could be heard by the officials.
Emperor Liang no longer hesitated and said calmly: "Li Heng, take my imperial seal."
