After kicking the scumbag husband, the prince hugged my thigh and begged me to marry him

Chapter 479: Sinner’s Edict

Ye Qingyou didn't know what the "effect" Pan Sisheng was talking about was.

But half a month later, just after Yuwen Xin captured four cities again and defeated the Liang army, the court was in an uproar all day and was completely in chaos.

"Now Daliang's soldiers are exhausted and their troops are injured. We can't afford to waste any more resources, otherwise it will be easy for Yan to take advantage of the situation!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you sit down and have a good discussion with the Second Prince. After all, this is a matter of the Daliang royal family, and it is a matter between father and son. We cannot allow outsiders like the Yan State to interfere at will."

"Your Majesty, you can't act on your own in this matter. You have to consider the overall situation!"

……

With heavy losses and repeated defeats, the ministers who could attend the morning court were no fools. They naturally saw that Daliang no longer had the ability to hold on. The only way was to let Emperor Liang compromise and re-select the crown prince.

Emperor Liang's face turned blue and purple, filled with hatred and anger. "I have raised elite soldiers and generals for so many years, but I can't defeat the rebels? Are you telling me that my Liang is just a paper lantern that will collapse if you poke it at random?!"

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to be angry. You have seen the continuous loss of veteran officials and generals in the Ministry of War!"

"Although the Second Prince's group is a bandit, he has served in the army for many years and is very experienced. He was also taught by you personally. The only one who can fight against him is the Fourth Prince."

The courtier shut up after saying this, but it was a pity that the only person who could resist was driven away by you yourself.

Who can be blamed for the situation now? !
Emperor Liang’s eyes went dark.

He wanted to retort, but he didn't have the courage to do so. He also realized that the court officials were already on the verge of dissatisfaction and would not indulge him in his willfulness.

But just give up like that?
He did not want.

Even less willing.

Pan Jingchen stood up again, "Your Majesty, according to the laws of Daliang, the eldest and the most virtuous should be appointed as the heir apparent, and the second prince should take over the throne of the Crown Prince, not the third prince."

"I hope Your Majesty can follow the old precedents of the emperors of Daliang and reconsider the candidate for the East Palace. Your Highness has worked hard and made great contributions in serving Your Majesty, but the rules of our ancestors are in place. You have violated the old rules, and if the Queen Mother were still alive, she would not agree."

"I second the proposal."

"I also second the proposal!"

……

Someone has already mentioned this sentence, and naturally more and more people came forward.

Emperor Liang felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, as if the shining and majestic dragon table was a sharp sword that wanted to blind his eyes.

The dignity that he had defended with his life seemed to crumble and collapse completely at this moment.

"Do you want me to admit my mistake and surrender to him?" His voice trembled a little.

"Your Majesty, this is for the sake of Daliang's country and the safety of the people. Please issue an edict of apology!"

"Your Majesty, please follow the laws of our ancestors and issue an edict of repentance!"

"His Majesty……"

As court officials knelt down to petition one after another, Emperor Liang felt a black screen before his eyes and his hands were shaking.

"You, you actually want to support a traitor who colluded with foreign enemies to seize the throne as the crown prince? Where has your backbone gone? You are still the good ministers and generals carefully selected by Daliang. You have disappointed me so much!"

"Your Majesty did not consult with us when he selected the Third Prince as the Crown Prince. This involves the future of Daliang. Your Majesty, you killed thirty-seven court officials and acted on your own. How can you face the ancestors of Daliang?"

"We are good ministers and generals of Daliang, that's why we speak frankly to Your Majesty! Honest words are unpleasant to the ear. If Your Majesty is unwilling to listen to our advice this time, please forgive my recklessness. I will not wear this official uniform!" The Minister of Justice couldn't stand his friends leaving one after another.

Including the entire family of the Minister of War, who had been friends with him for thirty years. He was determined to fight Emperor Liang to the end.

Seeing this, Pan Jingchen immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "The Minister of Justice has made great contributions to Daliang over the years. Your Majesty must not let him down."

"Your Majesty, we hope that Your Majesty will consider this. A harmonious family brings prosperity. We in Daliang are suffering from snow and drought, and we cannot withstand a long-term war!"

"Your Majesty, please give your order!"

The court officials knelt on the ground, clearly trying to force Emperor Liang to submit.

Emperor Liang felt a pain in his heart. He knew he had no way out, but he didn't want to agree so easily.

"It's only been half a month, only half a month..."

"If we delay any longer and His Majesty the Second Prince directly attacks the capital, it will be too late to act then!" Pan Jingchen's forehead banged against the bluestone bricks.

Emperor Liang felt dizzy before his eyes, and Yuwen Xiao beside him was trembling with fear.

He felt the infinite hostility of the court officials and wished he could be killed immediately in the court.

But is it up to him to do these things?
He is just a chess piece, and a vanguard at that.

"Father, I am incompetent. I will give up my position in the East Palace. Please choose another wise minister. I am guilty..."

He knew that Emperor Liang was looking for a way out, so he could only kneel down and bear the burden of Emperor Liang's feet.

Emperor Liang slowly turned his head and looked at him, "What are you talking about? Say it again?"

"I have failed your father's expectations. I am guilty." Yuwen Xiao took off the crown of the crown and put it aside. "Please choose another ruler for the East Palace. I am incompetent and stupid. I have not been able to assist you in handling the affairs of state. Instead, I have caused more trouble."

"I am guilty, please punish me, father!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please accept it!"

"Your Majesty, we can't delay any longer!"

Seeing that Yuwen Xiao had also surrendered, the court officials continued to pressure him.

But what Emperor Liang hated most was being forced to do something. His heart was already in turmoil, with a conflict between his conscience and his conscience.

"He is the prince I appointed. I want to see who dares to question my judgment! If you want to take him down, then take down the emperor as well!"

Emperor Liang's emotions eventually overcame his reason, and he would not allow anyone to desecrate his dignity as an emperor.

"I think you have had too much good life and want to recognize a traitor as your emperor. He is a traitor of Daliang. It is only natural for me to send thousands of troops to capture him and bring him to justice. Even if I die in this palace, I will never surrender to a traitor, never!"

"Retreat!"

This was the first time that Emperor Liang personally announced the words "dismissal of court" and then left in anger.

Yuwen Xiao knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, unable to stand up for a long time.

The court officials did not dare to say anything more and could only leave one after another.

Yuwen Qian stepped forward and helped Yuwen Xiao up, "Third brother, what should we do now?"

There were only two of them in the royal family who could be sent out, and one of them, Yuwen Liang, was still young. Moreover, after the empress and Yuwen Chun were executed, he was also locked up in the palace and was not allowed to move around freely. He was implicated.

Yuwen Xiao slowly got up from the ground, not even bothering to brush off the dust on his knees, "I'm going to go see my father, don't get involved."

"Even if I lose my head, at least I still have you... I have more than a dozen brothers, but it has become like this today. I really can't say who to blame."
