My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Why did His Majesty give him so much power and let him appoint officials?Why did His Majesty entrust him with such a heavy responsibility and rarely ask about it?Why does His Majesty always ignore it when someone in the court impeaches him?

So it turned out that after sitting there for a few nights, he finally figured out that Chang Yuan had long been impatient with him.

Regardless of whether he ignores him or punishes him, it is not because of trust, but because the other party is deliberately indulging him and wanting him to make bigger mistakes, so that he can be captured in one fell swoop without being criticized or ungrateful. in the name of.

Today's incident is just a trigger. Chang Yuan may have obtained enough evidence, and may also know that he knows very little about the matter, but these are not important.

This was the last straw for him. If he still made eloquent excuses, Chang Yuan's butcher's knife would be waiting for him.

He was betting that Chang Yuan could still remember a little bit of his past kindness, hoping that Chang Yuan would save his family's lives for the sake of him taking the initiative to admit his mistake.

Even Ning Changrong was a little surprised. Bai Yunliang admitted his mistake too quickly. They all knew that Bai Yunliang was involved in this matter, but it was definitely not Bai Yunliang who was behind it. At most, he was a person with lax supervision and unclear understanding of people. of guilt.

After being stunned for a while, Ning Changrong also figured out the key.

He had to admit that Bai Yunliang was indeed a smart man. This move of retreating in order to advance might not really be effective.

He looked up, Chang Yuan's face was still expressionless, and there was no wave in his eyes.

"I didn't expect Master Bai to admit it so happily."

"I know that I have committed a serious sin and am unworthy of my trust in your majesty, but please consider it a success. In order to make great contributions to your majesty in the past, I spared the lives of my whole family." Bai Yunliang said humbly, living up to the powerful ministers in the past. High-spirited.

"If you know that your sin is serious, why did you condone it in the first place?"

Bai Yunliang did not continue to quibble, he raised his head and stared at Chang Yuan, "Your Majesty..." He swallowed the quibbles in his mouth, his face full of bitterness, "I am guilty."

Chang Yuan took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, pointed at Bai Yunliang and yelled, "You are indeed guilty! You are guilty of forming a clique for personal gain, being greedy for profit, being arrogant, and allowing traitors to harm the people!"

He suddenly walked down the steps step by step, staring coldly at Bai Yunliang who was kneeling on the ground.

"You clearly know that land is the life stone of the people, but you still allow your relatives to seize the people's land! You are digging the roots of Da'an!"

"Have you forgotten why you rebelled in the first place? What's the difference between what you're doing now and the corrupt officials you hated back then? Tell me?"

If the other party hadn't admitted his mistake straightforwardly, Chang Yuan probably wouldn't have said so many words to him.

Bai Yunliang's eyes were filled with regret, and his lips trembled as he said, "My lord, I have failed your majesty."

"No -" Chang Yuan stared at him and said, "What you let down is the people of Da'an! It's yourself!"

After speaking, he slowly walked back to the dragon throne, turned around and sat down, looking at Bai Yunliang, "I still remember when you told me that sooner or later, you would overthrow the decadent Nanchen and let the people live a good life."

Bai Yunliang closed his eyes, tears falling down his face.

He knelt down on the ground again and prostrated, "I beg your majesty to grant me death. I only hope that your majesty can spare the lives of my family for the sake of you and me."

What he said this time was much more sincere than at the beginning.

Ning Changrong looked at Bai Yunliang next to him. He was still in the mood to adjust his sleeves when he was kneeling on the ground. A person who wanted to die would not care about this at all. It can be seen that these are all skills, but there is still some emotion in them, otherwise it would be Chang Yuan will not be deceived.When all the ministers saw this scene, regardless of their relationship with Bai Yunliang, they all felt a little sad.

Chang Yuan's original hatred for Bai Yunliang suddenly faded away when he saw him lying on the ground.

"Since you have already confessed, it saves me a lot of effort."

He gave Eunuch Li a look. Eunuch Li nodded, stepped forward, and loudly said outside, "It is said that the guilty ministers of Yuzhou, Tian Yushun, Chen Da, and the guilty subjects Bai Guangfu, and Bai Shiqi... enter the palace!"

Soon the guards with swords came to the main hall and pressed several people.

Several people had shackles and shackles on their bodies, making it very heavy to walk.

In order to rush for time, the soldiers escorting them traveled almost day and night. Although they were sitting in the prison van, they had no good food, sleep or shelter. Their faces were very ugly at this time, and some people thought they were refugees from somewhere.

When Bai Guangfu came in, the first thing he saw was Bai Yunliang kneeling on the ground. His face turned pale. He knew it was over.

There is no more luck in my heart.

Tian Yushun, the governor of Yuzhou Prefecture, was even more regretful. When he discovered that there was a problem in Chang County, Chang County Magistrate Chen Da immediately approached them and revealed that Bai Yunliang was behind it, so he went to them half-heartedly. ship.

Obviously he could refuse, and it wouldn't affect his official position. At most, it would be more difficult to get promoted in the future. He was the one who had done meritorious service for his crime, so he actually couldn't have been promoted. But in order to curry favor with Bai Yunliang, he not only concealed it, but also helped arrest him. Many people want to go to the capital to complain.

Chen Da, the magistrate of Changxian County, immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged, crying: "Your Majesty, forgive me, please forgive me. I was just kidnapped by a traitor, please atone for my sins!"

"Your Majesty, this Bai Guangfu is a relative of Master Bai. He found me and used Master Bai to threaten me. I have no choice but to do this, Your Majesty!"

Bai Guangfu was already heartbroken, but that didn't mean he allowed others to slander him like this.

He pointed angrily at Chen Da and yelled: "What the hell, you're the one who came to me, and you told me that you could use other reasons to collect more taxes, so that all my family's taxes can be passed on to other people." On the body, the people above don’t care much anyway! If something happens to us above, Mr. Bai will support me, so I will do it with you!"

Chen Da retorted: "Those people who are doing corvee work have gone to plant your fields!"

Bai Guangfu said: "The money has gone into your pocket!"

Chen Da: "You have done all the business in Chang County! You must have made a lot of money!"

Chang Yuan's face became darker and darker. Looking at the two people biting each other below, he slammed the table and said, "That's enough! Give me ten slaps each!"

Immediately, a guard with a knife came forward to seize the two of them, and the eunuch slapped them on the face. After ten blows, the two people's noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths and noses. It was obvious that the eunuchs were beating them according to the truth.

The two of them were thrown to the ground like dead dogs, and the hall finally became quiet.

Chang Yuan looked at Tian Yushun, "I remember that you are the governor of Nanchen. I originally wanted you to continue to be the governor because you didn't make too many mistakes. It also meant that you would make meritorious deeds. Is that how you make meritorious deeds?"

Tian Yushun immediately fell to his knees, bursting into tears, with tears and runny nose running down his face, "I am guilty, I am guilty! Your Majesty, please give me another chance!"
