On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of homes are lit up.

For the people of Jinling City, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is different from previous years.

The sudden collapse of the first emperor Xiao Xuan had a huge impact on the courtiers, but the court still tried its best to cover up this appalling case of killing the monarch, even if there was a rumor among the people, but no one dared to talk about this rebellious case in private.

For the people of Daliang, what makes them feel uneasy is the rekindling of the war.

There were wars in the surrounding countries of Daliang, Dayu, Northern Yan, and Southern Chu, and even there was a Yeqin rebellion in Daliang, but the imperial court had not sent troops to suppress it, and the army in the west took the initiative to take over this work to use it to fight the horses.

The centrifugation between the Great Liang Imperial Court and the King of Wuwei in the Western Realm was seen by even ordinary people.

That's what makes people feel the most unsettling.

The world-shattering God of War in the Western Realm is the brightest star in the Great Liang Army, but now the dazzling God of War has faintly pointed to the Central Plains Continent and the Imperial Capital of Jinling.

From Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, during this half-month, the imperial court does not hold a dynasty, and the courtiers take a holiday.

The courtiers are on vacation, but the emperor still has to work.

Countless documents were pressed on the desk of Xiao Jingyan, the new emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, like a small mountain, and there were still a lot of war reports on the way to be transmitted, Xiao Jingyan frowned and dealt with the tricky government affairs in hand, most of which were related to military and political affairs.

The girder is shaky.

Although the relationship with the seven states in the west has deteriorated to the extreme, the war in the north is still inevitably transmitted to Xiao Jingyan's ears.

Dayu is dead!

On the paperwork of the border emergency, it was just these four simple words, but Xiao Jingyan's heart became particularly heavy.

Lu Ze's speed of moving troops was too fast and too fast.

This Western God of War completely solved his worries, and opened up a strategic depth zone for the Western Frontier Army, and he actually used the entire territory of Dayu as the depth to open up a vast world.

What Xiao Jingyan expected even more was that there were not many rebellions in the Dayu Death Department.

The border is lost, the royal court falls, the country will not be a country... It's nothing.

But when the people of Dayu lost their minds to restore the country, it was the real dead country, even if it was a small country like the Slip tribe, it had set off a lot of waves after it was destroyed, but it was as powerful as Dayu, but at this time it seemed to be completely subjugated by the iron hooves of King Wuwei.

After dealing with government affairs, the new emperor came to the queen mother's bedroom to kneel and salute.

Only here can Xiao Jingyan feel truly relaxed.

"Mother."

"The lotus seed soup you made tastes really sweet."

Concubine Jing is now the queen mother.

This concubine of the first emperor, who was not obvious and quiet, finally showed her city skills when she sat on the throne of the queen mother, and the means like a breeze and drizzle managed the entire harem in an orderly manner, even the queen Yan of the year failed to do this, showing the thunderous means in a silent place.

The servants in the dormitory have all retired, and only the mother and son are separated.

At this time, Empress Dowager Jing looked at her son's slightly tired cheeks and said softly, "You have worked hard." ”

Xiao Jingyan lowered his head and drank the lotus seed soup, and shook his head: "I'm not hard, Xiaoshu is hard." ”

Emperor Liang is dead.

Mei Changsu's true identity was finally known by the buffalo.

Xiao Jingyan didn't expect that Mei Changsu was his best friend, and when he thought that his eldest brother and friends were watching from the sky, Xiao Shu was actually by his side, trying to help him pave every step of the way.

The young marshal Chiyan, who has a silver gun and a white horse, and has never known what the cold winter and snow mean, has become a scheming strategist who supports the hearth and calculates people's hearts.

Xiao Jingyan couldn't imagine the process of this change, the pain of his heart, especially after his father died on the dragon chair, it was a starless and moonless night and even deeper and darker pain.

Empress Dowager Jing lowered her eyelashes to cover her eyes.

Xiao Jingyan put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, and said in a firm tone: "After the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I will announce the retrial and re-sentencing of the Chiyan case, Xie Yu died of illness a year ago, and Aunt Liyang still has Xie Yu's handwritten handwriting in her hand, but Xia Jiang, who is on the run, has not yet been found..."

Speaking of the old case of snow injustice, the mother and son sighed together.

I just feel that this result is too unsatisfactory now, and I can't bear Xiaoshu's painstaking planning for the past thirteen years.

Xiao Jingyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Over there in the west..."

Of course, the new emperor of Liang only has hatred for Lu Ze.

The revenge of killing his father is naturally not shared, especially the death of the first emperor makes it difficult for Chiyan's grievances to be completely whitewashed, even if Lu Ze intimately accused Emperor Liang of 'unjustly killing the emperor's eldest son and Chiyanjun' after killing the monarch, but this cannot be used as evidence at all.

Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Jingyan changed into his regular clothes and left the palace.

The commander of the forbidden army is still Mengzhi.

On that day, Emperor Liang was beheaded in the Wuying Palace, Meng Zhi was not far away, and then Lu Ze single-handedly broke through the encirclement of the forbidden army and went out of the palace in a dashing manner, and the courtiers attacked the commander of Meng Da a lot, if it were not for the new emperor who made a decree after taking the throne, the first master of the Great Liang might have to be put in prison.

Although the courtiers were all there that day, all of us were different from you in the position of commander of the Great Commander.

You are responsible for protecting Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to take full responsibility.

Meng Zhi is naturally tired, and at the same time, he is also guilty.

He understood what the death of the first emperor meant to Xiao Shu and King Jing, but Lu Ze's speed was too fast that day, and what was even more puzzling was the sudden appearance of the Pu knife, as if it had fallen into his hands out of thin air.

"Meng Qing, you don't have to dwell on the past anymore."

"King Wuwei's martial arts have reached the ultimate level, and he is holding a sharp blade, how can he resist it at the first time."

Hearing the words of the new emperor in his ears, Meng Zhi's heart was hot, but there was a hot bitterness in his throat.

This kind of comfort made Meng Zhi only feel that he was a waste, he did not protect the first emperor that day, if King Wuwei came to Kyoto again in the future, would he and the forbidden army really be able to protect the new emperor around him?

Lu Ze has become the target of headaches for too many people in Jinling City.

Mei Changsu was still in the Su Mansion, during this time he gradually recovered the demeanor of the young marshal of Chiyan, and various marks were made on the special sand table map of the Central Plains Continent, preparing in advance for the big battle that would take place in the near future.

The arrival of His Majesty the Emperor did not surprise the people of Su Zhai.

Only these people around Mei Changsu know the relationship between the new emperor and his young marshal.

Xiao Jingyan sat down in the room familiarly, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Mei Changsu speak: "A gift was sent from the western border, and Xia Jiang, who had fled, was sent to Jinling City in the afternoon today. ”

Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows: "Xia Jiang? ”

After the failure of King Yu's rebellion, Xia Jiang decisively chose to flee, he originally fled to Dayu by means left by Princess Xuanji, and planned to retreat peacefully, but the Lord Shouzun never expected that Dayu would be so useless, and the whole territory would fall in two and a half years.

After Lu Ze destroyed Dayu, he set off a new round of population census for the entire territory of Dayu to completely control Dayu.

Xia Jiang knew that it would be difficult to hide this time, and couldn't help but think of Qin Panruo, who was now working under Lu Ze, and the Slip Clan, who were now so mixed up that they could all be said to be prosperous, and now they were all able to show up openly in the West as the Slip Clan.

As soon as Xia Jiang summed it up, he decided to take refuge in Lu Ze.

And then... Our first lord was sent to Jinling City by Lu Ze as a New Year's gift.

Going round and round, it's back to square one.

Although their positions are different, Mei Changsu still sincerely admires Lu Ze, the latter's vigorous and resolute style of handling things and military management methods, the Western Frontier Army has become the current tiger and wolf army, and all the imperial army of Dayu has been cut off the horse.

Although Xiao Jingyan has vigorously rectified and slightly improved since he ascended the throne, how can he be cured of decades of weakness and weakness.

Severe illness also requires strong medicine.

For this point, Lu Ze has already given the best answer.

It is in this situation that the seven states of the Western Frontier burst into new life.

But Xiao Jingyan can't do that.

Everyone has a different position and faces a different environment.

Mei Changsu sighed: "So far, the eldest princess of Liyang can only set off the old case and retry and re-sentence." ”

Xiao Jingyan felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Mei Changsu saw Jing Yan like this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with relief: "It's just that we are doing our best to obey the destiny of heaven, so far, we have done our best, and the most important thing to solve at the moment is the border issue. ”

"That's over there..."

"Xili has not moved for so long, Lu Ze dares to go north to Chongqing, I think it has already solved Xili's troubles."

Xiao Jingyan's eyes were condensed, and his face was full of solemnity: "Even Xili has succumbed to Lu Ze's hands?" ”

Mei Changsu had already guessed the truth from the existing information, and nodded: "That Shenwu army was born out of thin air, and the first battle shocked the world, obviously it had already experienced the baptism of bloody war, and it must have been sharpened from Xili's side. ”

Xiao Jingyan told his friends about the government affairs that he had recently organized: "In addition to the garrisons that must be retained for security in various places, the number of troops that can be mobilized in Daliang has been counted, totaling 210,000, including 140,000 troops from Taiwan, 70,000 garrison troops, and the southern border..."

"The South must not move. As soon as the division is transferred from afar, the combat power is worn out, and the far water cannot save the near fire. Second, Da Chu is not just watching the excitement, Nihuang must maintain a deterrent on the side of King Mu's mansion. Mei Changsu said directly, "Nihuang will leave to go back after the New Year, and we will have to rely on ourselves in the next battle." ”

Xiao Jingyan smiled: "This time we are going to fight side by side again." ”

......

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the new year begins.

The eldest princess of Liyang appeared in the court, handed Xie Yu's own handwriting, and opened the curtain of snow injustice.

Emperor Xiao Jingyan of Liang officially issued an order, ordering King Ji and Yan Que to be the chief judges to review the Chiyan reversal case.

For this huge case that once shook the entire beam, there were not a few people who had doubts and sympathies back then, but due to the coercion of power and high pressure, this emotion was suppressed for thirteen years.

As Xia Jiang's confession and retrial deepened, the details of the Meiling tragedy were revealed bit by bit.

The seven states in the west are indignant.

The Red Flame Army was the guard of the western frontier back then, and thirteen years ago it fought a bloody battle with the imperial army, but finally died tragically at the hands of its own people, this case made the people in the western realm can't help but boil, and the people have even more accusations against the former emperor who has died.

Public opinion matters.

Lu Ze understands this.

Therefore, he will make a good appearance of the matter of sending Xia Jiang back to Jinling City, and then point the finger at the dead Emperor Liang, causing public opinion to develop in the direction that Lu Ze wants to see, and the topic gradually evolves to the fact that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

"Master Hou... Is this part of your plan? ”

Qin Panruo's expression was strange.

Of course, she was referring to the indignant public sentiment in the land of the Seven States today.

War has never been a fight on the battlefield, the two sides are more competing for comprehensive strength, and the people's heart is undoubtedly one of the most important ones, Lu Ze directly pointed the finger at the first emperor by reversing the case in Jinling City.

See?

Liang Xiao's family... Big problem!

Lu Ze drank hot tea and enjoyed an afternoon nap: "The people's feelings are naturally very important, and this king is just pushing the boat down the river." ”

After all, Emperor Liang died at the hands of Lu Ze, and it has been a crime of rebellion since ancient times, but if the dead emperor is a tyrant, a faint monarch, or a mediocre monarch, people can properly understand that Lu Ze led the Western Army to destroy Dayu, whether it was a soldier or a common people in the West, they all regarded it as a god.

Now Lu Ze wants to further highlight his image and tell all the people of Daliang instead.

King Wuwei is the embodiment of justice.

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat."

"After the beginning of the spring, the reaction of the Jinling side will be very interesting, I would like to see them burn a fire behind their backs to ignite the morale of the Western Frontier Army again, so that they can swing their swords more decisively when they win that battle in the future."

"At that time, the people's sentiment will only be more agitated."

Qin Panruo understood that this was a righteous and bright plan.

Although Lu Ze is on the list of rebels in the imperial court, the Western Frontier Army has always been in the Northern Expedition to Dayu, and has never pointed the blade at Jinling, and now the Western Frontier soldiers are going to attack Northern Yan again, and the new emperor of Jinling City naturally can't watch Beiyan be collected by Lu Ze again, and then the west and north sides of Daliang will all face attacks.

Lu Ze just wanted to give Xiao Jingyan a chance when he was conquering Beiyan.

You can come and attack me in the back.

......

The snow injustice went very smoothly.

King Qi, Lin Xie, and the 37 civil and military officials implicated in this case were pardoned for the crime of treason; Concubine Chen, King Qi and their descendants entered the imperial mausoleum; The Ministry of Rites will give their families double generous bereavement benefits; The first offender, Xia Jiang, was sentenced to Ling Chi....

The old case of thirteen years ago was finally wronged.

Although this was not resolved during the reign of the first emperor, it was always rehabilitated.

Mei Changsu came to the newly built Lin ancestral hall and looked at the tablet of his father's handsome, his expression was sad and suffering.

"The old thing is over."

"What's the way back?"
