After the crown prince made his statement clear, the remaining courtiers who were still waiting and watching suddenly bent over like the wind blowing wheat waves, shouting the word "seconding" one after another. Even King Yu and King Huai whispered something after flinching for a moment, and stood in the queue of admonitions. In the full hall, there is now only one Liang Keqing left, who is still in the same place, watching all this with eyes as cold as ice and snow.

If it was just the commotion of the ministers, Emperor Liang still had some confidence to suppress them, but at this moment, in the face of Xiao Jingyan's fierce gaze, he began to feel a little flustered.

Because he understands this son's feelings for King Qi and the Lin family, at the beginning, in the case of absolute disadvantage, he would still argue regardless of gains and losses, and now that the conclusive evidence has appeared, Xiao Jingyan of course refuses to give up.

If you don't suppress this son, you won't be able to stabilize the current noisy and out of control situation. But Emperor Liang thought about it and suddenly realized that he now had nothing weighty in his hands to govern a prince who had made great achievements.

For the old emperor with a cold nature, Xiao Jingyan's unexpected growth was far more shocking and unacceptable than the truth that the eldest princess had just revealed, so he gritted his teeth and looked at the palace to find some supporting strength.

Old ministers, new ministers, royal families, harems...... There was no expression on everyone's face that he was hoping for, even the gentle and supple Jing Guifei's eyes were so bright that he couldn't look directly at them at the moment.

Occupying the supreme position and being lonely for decades, Emperor Liang only really tasted the taste of isolation and helplessness at this time. What's more, he can no longer veto all objections as forcefully and brutally as he did back then.

After some drumming. The hall slowly fell silent, but the power of silence contained in this silence made the emperor feel more stressed than the chaotic shouting just now. Because this is clearly not an impulse anymore. It's not just the ministers who have calmed down with the crowd. Still all standing in the position of admonishment, no one showed any intention of flinching.

Emperor Liang knew that since things had reached this point, no matter how long the stalemate lasted, there would always be only one result.

"I ...... The ...... played by Zhuqing

The old emperor weakly spat out these words. Xiao Jingyan's heart suddenly stirred, but he immediately controlled himself, and he didn't look out, just glanced at Cai Quan quickly.

"Your Majesty has given permission to retry the Chiyan case, and the person who presides over the trial will also be invited to make a holy ruling, right?" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department bowed respectfully.

"This occasion is not to discuss court affairs," Emperor Liang refused in a somewhat soft tone...... The presiding judge will be decided at another date. ”

"Your Majesty's matter is of great importance and should not be delayed. If this is already the case today, why reschedule? Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng continued: "The old minister just thought about it. This chief judge is not trivial, but he must be highly respected, loyal and selfless. And it is shrewd and meticulous. I'm afraid it's difficult for one person to take on this big responsibility, so choose a few more. Co-presiding over the review. "Lord Liu's words are very much," Shen Chai immediately said, "The minister recommends Lord Ji." ”

"The minister recommends the marquis!" Mu Qing's voice is still very loud.

In the face of the repeated recommendations, Emperor Liang closed his eyes vigorously. In fact, it doesn't matter who will be the presiding judge, as long as Xiao Jingyan is still in the Chiyan case, the future results will be clearly visible, even as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop it now, and in the end, King Ji, Yanhou and Dali Temple Zhengqing Ye Shizhen have become the candidates for the presiding judge with the highest support rate, and Emperor Liang gave in in the sudden tiredness in his heart, and all of them were correct. When the three people who took on the heavy responsibility knelt down to bow to the order, Xiao Jingyan, who had been holding it very steadily, suddenly felt a little hot in his throat, and involuntarily turned his eyes to Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu remained silent, in the court hall churning like a pot of boiling water, he was as quiet as if he didn't exist. However, as long as he looked carefully, he could see that his black, hateful, bottomless eyes had been staring at the old emperor who was lying on the top of the imperial stairs, as if he wanted to penetrate the decaying and weak shell and pierce his strong, vicious, and self-respecting past......

But Emperor Liang didn't feel the gaze of this guest qing, he was trembling, his beard trembling, and he got up tremblingly, trying to escape from this hall that made him breathless. The crown prince and the courtiers still bowed respectfully when he left, but the Supreme Son of Heaven felt in his heart that it was completely different from when he looked down on the ministers before, and this difference was felt in his bones, and the more deeply he felt, the more words could describe it.

Concubine Jing got up with Emperor Liang as usual, but as soon as she stretched out her hands to support, Emperor Liang pushed her away, leaning on Gao Zhandi's shoulder, and boarded the dragon chariot alone. Concubine Jing didn't care about this refusal, a smile appeared on her lips, and she calmly took another step back to the inner palace.

On the small kang table in the emperor's bedroom, the unfinished game of chess in the morning was still as it was, and the first thing Emperor Liang saw when he staggered in was this, and he suddenly became angry and overturned the chessboard, and the black and white jade chess pieces splashed everywhere, and a few of them smashed on his own face, and his skin was faintly painful.

After Shouyi, father and son fought again...... But what can we fight again? Regardless of the outcome of the chess game, the moment he had to go against his will and submit to the crown prince and the courtiers, he had already abandoned his son and conceded defeat.

The case of Chiyan is the biggest knot between father and son, this Emperor Liang already knew, but what he didn't expect was that there were so many truths behind this case, even he didn't know the truth, what he didn't expect was that after a full thirteen years, all this would resurface, just like the resentment of those undead who insisted on refusing to return to peace and rest.

Emperor Liang suddenly shivered, and involuntarily shrank his body, and just wanted to call Concubine Jing to stop again.

The roars that came from the side corridor as he left in the morning flashed back to the old emperor's mind at this time, and he slapped the table and shouted, "Someone! Summoning Concubine Yue! Summoning Concubine Yue to see the driver! The emperor is still the emperor, and the decrees are still carried out very quickly. Before a moment, Concubine Yue was led to the palace. She is now gone. She looked like a completely haggard old woman, but her beautifully contoured eyes flashed with a cold glow from time to time. As soon as I saw Emperor Liang. She immediately pounced, and the first thing she said was repeatedly: "Your Majesty." The concubine should report it secretly...... Secret ......"

"Concubine Yue," Emperor Liang pinched her chin and raised her whole face, "What do you want to report secretly?" Is it the sudden difficulty of Liyang in Wuying Hall today? ”

"The concubine should report to King Jing secretly...... King Jing, he plotted against ......"

"How do you know what is going on in the palace?"

"It's Zuo Zhongcheng Dongfang who said it............" Concubine Yue said eagerly. Some were incoherent: "His niece entered the palace...... Tell the concubine...... Lord Dongfang is loyal to the crown prince, loyal to the prince is loyal to your majesty......"

Emperor Liang frowned for a long time before he realized that the prince in her mouth was referring to Xiao Jingxuan, who had been deposed, and his face suddenly sank.

"King Jing has been summoning courtiers for a lot of ...... Lord Dongfang heard the wind...... But His Majesty doesn't go to court, he can't see His Majesty, he can only think of his concubines. For so long, only he could think of his concubines...... As long as King Jing falls, the crown prince will be able to come back...... Lord Dongfang is a loyal minister, and the prince will not treat him badly. Your Majesty will not treat us badly, and we will sue. It's the head work. You must take King Jing's corpse to pieces and bring the prince back...... Xuan'er is the prince. The concubines who thwarted King Jing's conspiracy are great merits, and the Lord of the East also supports Xuan'er, please reinstate the crown prince, and restore the crown prince! ”

Speaking of later, Concubine Yue's original gloomy expression became extremely excited, not only her tone was sharp and high, but the corners of her mouth also foamed at the mouth, which made Emperor Liang very frightened. Maybe like that Oriental Lord, His Majesty the Emperor may not have seen Concubine Yue for a long time, he didn't expect that the current situation of this once gorgeous concubine Niangniang has become like this, and the original shrewdness and agility are gone, and only the paranoia and hysteria remain. Even if what she said was true, her madness was not prosthetic, and when she recognized this, Emperor Liang began to violently break away and pull on her ground, but the more she fell, the tighter she clenched, and her nails had almost pierced into Emperor Liang's flesh, and the pain made him shout: "Someone! Take her down! Take it on! ”

"Your Majesty...... King Jing conspired against his concubines...... Please reinstate the crown prince......" Concubine Yue shouted while being dragged out in a panic by the attendants, Emperor Liang only felt that his hands and feet were cold, his eyes were bright and dark, and he couldn't help but close his eyes on the soft support for a while. Gao Zhan hurriedly brought a soothing tea soup for Emperor Liang to pat his chest and pour it on his back.

Emperor Liang felt pain in his chest, and he always had a breath that he couldn't hang up, and his limbs were numb. Thinking about what Concubine Yue said just now, she was both angry and helpless. What if you know this? He didn't even have the physical and mental strength to pick himself up to deal with it......

"Your Majesty wants to summon the Imperial Doctor?" Gao Zhan asked in a low voice.

"Summon...... Go and summon ......, "No matter what, life is the most important, the more anxious the breath is, the more scared Emperor Liang feels." Fortunately, the imperial doctor hurriedly came, and after a careful consultation, it was said that it was caused by the dryness of qi and blood, and the monk did not become a serious illness, so he prescribed a post of medicine and hurriedly decocted it, and then he was a little more peaceful, and he fell asleep in the bath.

I don't know if it's the effect of the potion or Emperor Liang's old age, he didn't toss and tossed, and he had fallen asleep hazy in less than a quarter of an hour. Gao Zhan knelt in the corner of the bed and guarded for a while, and when he heard that there was no sound, he got up lightly, looked at the bed a few times, curled up and quietly retreated, step by step, retreated to the side door, and slipped out silently.

Outside the side door is a long cloud-top folding corridor, Concubine Jing is still standing gently under the corridor, her clothes fluttering in the wind, her sleeves are full of sleeves, her eyes are clear and peaceful, and there is no special expression. Gao Zhan stopped more than ten feet away from her, staring at the lady who was gradually rising in the absence of a fight. Looking at the blurred face that always lowered his eyebrows and looked at the head of the six palaces, he showed an expression for the first time, and that was an expression of secret determination.

Gao Zhan knew that the time had come to make a clear choice of the final position.

"Yu Niangniang is the ...... of Dongfang Zhi" Approaching Concubine Jing, he only whispered such a simple sentence after finishing speaking, curled up and waited for the result motionlessly.

Concubine Jing's bright eyes rolled slightly, and she only said a faint "um", and there was nothing else to say, but the tight lines on Gao Zhan's face had obviously relaxed, and after bowing deeply again, he returned to the dormitory the same way.

Emperor Liang on the couch still maintained the posture just now, but his breath was more and more disordered. After another moment, he began to stir, his head rolled to and fro on the pillow, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his hands scratching twice in the air from time to time, and his mouth murmured.

"Wake up Your Majesty, you're having nightmares again." Concubine Jing appeared in the hall at some point and gave a gentle order.

Gao Zhan hurriedly responded, got up, leaned over to the bed, and gently shook Emperor Liang's arm.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty!! After shouting more than a dozen times, Emperor Liang suddenly sat up as if he had been shocked by something, staring blankly at the front with a dull gaze, sweating profusely. What did Your Majesty dream of again? Concubine Jing gently wiped the old emperor's sweat with a Supa, and said softly, "This time it should be not only Concubine Chen, but also others, right?" ”

Emperor Liang's whole body trembled, and he waved her hand away and said angrily: "You still dare to come to see me? I treated your mother and son in vain, and you were so gracious, that you had evil intentions and were planning to overturn the case of Chiyan! I'm so blind that I believe in something disloyal and unfilial like you! ”

"Even if we are scheming," Concubine Jing said peacefully, "but there is one thing Your Majesty must know that the reason why the Chiyan case was overturned and cleared is that there is another more important reason besides our careful consideration. ”

"W-Why?"

"The truth. That's what it is. Concubine Jing's gaze pierced into Emperor Liang's heart as if it were tangible, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, as long as you don't want to admit these facts disclosed today, of course, no one can force you." But even the Son of Heaven always has some things that he can't do, such as you can't influence the verdict of the conscience of the people in the world, you can't change the comments of future generations, and you can't stop those old people who come to you in your dreams......"

"Say no more!" Emperor Liang's face was sallow, his whole body was trembling, he held his forehead with both hands, screamed, and fell backwards on the pillow, wheezing like convulsions.

Concubine Jing stretched out a cool hand and gently rubbed it in front of Emperor Liang's eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "If Your Majesty talks about loyalty and filial piety, Lin Shuai cannot be said to be disloyal, King Qi can not be said to be unfilial, Jing Yan has always taken them as a model, and what they didn't do back then, Jing Yan will never do it, please Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

Emperor Liang slowly let go of the hand covering his face and looked at Concubine Jing steadily: "Do you dare to guarantee it?" ”

"If Your Majesty really understands Jing Yan, you won't ask your concubine for assurance." Concubine Jing's lips have always maintained a faint smile, but her eyelashes are lowered, making it difficult to see her eyes: "What Jing Yan asks for is nothing more than truth and justice, if Your Majesty can give it to him, why should he be suspicious of other places?" ”

Emperor Liang weighed it blankly for a long time, and his gaze stared at Concubine Jing's gentle face for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh and muttered, "...... That's it...... It's up to you...... I won't say anything......"
