After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 564 Clear rewards and punishments
King Miao laughed so hard that his face turned crooked.

Well, well, it’s already “miserable” enough to lose the Imperial Master Order, but I didn’t expect that the Imperial Observatory was also lost.

The foundation of Gongsun Yanming's position in the imperial city was the Imperial Master and the Imperial Observatory. Losing any one of them would be a big blow to him, let alone both?

Oh, my in-laws look particularly pleasing to me today!
Duke Jiang was also quite pleasantly surprised at Emperor Liang's treatment of him, and the other party's image in his mind became more lofty.

Meng Qianqian really couldn't help laughing.

It would be better to put him in jail on the charge of murdering Your Majesty. At least there is a possibility of "overturning the verdict". However, Your Majesty has determined that he is not capable enough, so this cannot be overturned.

If this gets out, Gongsun Yanming will lose all face and dignity. How will he hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the future?

The only pity is that he didn't get to eat any jail meal.

Emperor Liang looked at him without blinking: "Gongsun Yanming, do you still insist that you were wronged?"

Gongsun Yanming clenched his fists and said sternly, "I am indeed wronged!"

Emperor Liang nodded and said, "Well, in that case, I will give you ten days to find evidence to prove that you are wrongly accused. If you still cannot prove your innocence after ten days, I will convict you of treason!"

If the previous events were enough to shock Gongsun Yanming, then Emperor Liang's words at this moment almost made him lose his composure.

They were the ones who testified against him, so shouldn't they be the ones to find the evidence?
"Your Majesty, they have falsely accused me of being the murderer. It is they who should provide evidence!"

"They have presented evidence." Emperor Liang pointed to the corpse on the ground and the poisonous insect in Meng Qianqian's hand. "You said it was false evidence, so it is up to you to prove it."

Gongsun Yanming: "..."

Lu Yuan curled his lips and smiled: "Master Gongsun, ten days."

Gongsun Yanming didn't know how he left the imperial study. In any case, even King Ming could feel the anger and frustration that was about to burst out from beneath his calm appearance.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the second-best imperial teacher being humiliated.

"Father."

Prince Ming walked up to Emperor Liang and said, "You are so wise and powerful today!"

Emperor Liang asked coldly, "Was I stupid in the past?"

Ming Wang blinked: "That's not... that's not the case."

Meng Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Today was truly thrilling.

He thought his identity was exposed and he was guilty of deceiving the emperor, but it turned out that His Majesty had forgotten the grudge between him and King Miao.

Gongsun Yanming was eloquent and thought that they would have to spend a lot of time and effort to collect more evidence, which put them in a very passive situation.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would pass the responsibility to Gongsun Yanming.

Lu Yuan is in charge of the Jinyiwei's prison. If he follows the rules, they will really have to provide evidence against Gongsun Yanming.

But my grandfather seemed to have forgotten the rules.

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and signaled to his wife with his eyes - how about letting the royal grandfather lose his memory for two more days?

Meng Qianqian: “…”

After Gongsun Yanming left the palace, he got on the carriage back to Qianji Pavilion with a cold expression.

Sitting in the car was a man wearing a conical hat and a bronze mask.

He was the one who had met Liu Qingyun and King Miao before.

He was kicked by the Miao King that day and has only just recovered and is able to walk around.

He took in Gongsun Yanming's rage and said with a smile, "I warned you long ago that activating the poisonous insect is a risky move. You are acting too hastily."

Gongsun Yanming closed his eyes.

The man continued, "I'm very curious about what kind of people they are. They have repeatedly gotten the upper hand over Pavilion Master Gongsun and have even forced you into disarray."

Gongsun Yanming ignored his ridicule and said coldly: "Your Majesty asked me to find evidence that the Heart-Eating Gu has nothing to do with me within ten days." The man asked puzzledly: "You are looking for evidence? Shouldn't they be the ones to find evidence?"

Emperor Liang is getting old and confused? What kind of operation is this?!

The man said, "Even if you are no longer under the control of the Heart-Eating Gu, you shouldn't act like this. You didn't tell your Majesty that the prince's father-in-law is the Miao King."

Gongsun Yanming frowned and said, "I did, but His Majesty didn't care. He wasn't angry, nor did he punish the Crown Prince's Mansion for deceiving the Emperor."

This is the most puzzling thing.

Based on Gongsun Yanming's understanding of Emperor Liang, he would never tolerate being deceived by anyone, even his own children and grandchildren.

Add to that the mortal enemy, King Miao, and it can be said that Emperor Liang had almost touched all the bad luck.

The man asked suspiciously, "Could it be that they have also put a curse on your Majesty?"

This is the most reasonable explanation.

Gongsun Yanming carefully recalled what happened in the imperial study and felt that Emperor Liang was indeed a little abnormal today.

Could it be that I was really bewitched by the Miao King?

No, Emperor Liang would not make the same mistake twice.

The man asked, "What happens if we can't find evidence?"

Gongsun Yanming spoke word by word: "You and I must both die."

The man sneered: "Your Majesty killed you, what does it have to do with me?"

Gongsun Yanming glanced at him and said, "You didn't think the Miao King and Princess didn't recognize you, did you?"

The man's smile froze slightly.

Gongsun Yan said calmly: "If I die, you won't have a good end either."

The man's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "You are the one who messed up. I warned you not to be impulsive. You went to the mountain of tigers even though you knew there was a tiger. Now that the matter of the Heart-Eating Gu has been exposed, I did not blame you for causing the loss of a Gu Master. I have done my best. But you still want to drag me down with you? Gongsun Yanming, you don't really think I'm made of paper, do you?"

Gongsun Yanming gave him a calm and composed look.

It was this seemingly casual look, even without any murderous intent, that silenced the man.

Gongsun Yanming looked away calmly and clenched his fists little by little.

Emperor Liang only gave him ten days.

In these ten days, will he really be given a chance to prove himself?
Or... is Emperor Liang waiting for him to reveal more flaws?
The effect of the heart-eating insect will not disappear all at once unless something happens to Emperor Liang that he is unaware of.

What could it be?

Gongsun Yanming closed his eyes and racked his brains but could not figure out the key.

After years of planning and strategizing, this is the first time I feel like everything is gradually getting out of control.

This feeling is not very good.
-
Emperor Liang was a man who clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. He punished those who deserved to be punished, and rewarded those who deserved to be rewarded.

Duke Jiang was rewarded with a thousand pieces of silver and a hundred pieces of cloth by Emperor Liang for his meritorious service in protecting the emperor.

Duke Jiang didn't care about these things. Just as he was about to curse Emperor Liang for being stingy in his heart, he heard Emperor Liang have someone bring him a token.

He took it in his hand and took a look at it. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up and down: "Golden medal for immunity from death?!"

Emperor Liang said, "It can only be used once, and it can only save one person."

He knew all this. It was a golden medal of immunity from death, so of course it could only be used by one person.

This is the first golden medal of immunity from death granted by the emperor since the founding of the State of Liang, and its significance is extraordinary.

Duke Jiang suddenly felt that his life had reached its peak.

With this golden medal of immunity from death of the founding of the nation, he is no longer a petty clerk who herds sheep, but a tough man who earns merits through his own efforts!
Duke Jiang, holding the golden medal of immunity from death, smiled like a silly wife.

The second update is here. Do you still have monthly tickets? It’s the last few days. Can you vote for Fang Fangzai?
