The world of film and television begins from childhood

The moment Princess Li Yang appeared, Mei Changsu's expression changed immediately. Although he had already thought about it many times in his mind, when it really happened, he was still somewhat nervous and excited. However, he had a strong willpower and easily controlled his emotions.

Princess Li Yang ignored others and walked straight to the front of the hall. Not far from Emperor Liang, she slowly knelt down and performed a great salute.

Emperor Liang did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and laughed: "Li Yang, just now all the ministers came to congratulate me, why didn't I see you?"

Princess Li Yang did not even dare to look at Emperor Liang, but said firmly: "This visit from your humble sister is not just to celebrate your majesty's birthday."

Emperor Liang looked puzzled and asked, "If today's visit is not to celebrate your birthday, then why?"

Li Yang took out the handwritten letter that Xie Yu left for her from her sleeve, slowly opened it, held it with both hands, and faced Emperor Liang.

"My sister wants to take this opportunity to confess her crime in front of all the noble ministers, Xie Yu, for deceiving the emperor and killing loyal officials."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked. Today was Emperor Liang's birthday banquet, but Princess Li Yang said such a thing. What was going on? Was she trying to slap His Majesty in the face?

The ministers in the palace who were unaware of the situation all looked at Princess Li Yang in confusion.

The princes and relatives sitting in the front were also stunned. Prince Yu, who had a decadent look on his face, suddenly sat up straight, his eyes gleaming with light, and he looked at Princess Li Yang in shock. He already had some guesses in his mind, but his eyes were full of disbelief.

As for Emperor Liang, his face had changed with anger. He pursed his lips and asked with an unpleasant expression, "What do you want to say?"

"Xie Yu is dead. I have already dealt with his crimes, and he has not implicated you and the child. What else do you have to complain about? Do you want to make a scene at my birthday banquet?"

Although Princess Li Yang was terrified, she still mustered up her courage and said loudly, "Although Xie Yu is dead, he still has a great crime that has not been made public. This crime is so heinous that it is condemned by both humans and gods. If I don't report it to you, I'm afraid I will be punished by heaven. Please allow me to report it in detail, Your Majesty."

After saying this, he bowed his head again.

But Emperor Liang was already extremely angry. He slammed the table, stood up from the dragon throne, and shouted angrily.

"What kind of occasion is this? I don't want to hear it. Go down, go down."

Although he was not sure what Princess Li Yang was going to say specifically, he was very clear that what Princess Li Yang was going to say next would definitely not be good, so he did not want to give Princess Li Yang this opportunity.

But Princess Li Yang was determined. She ignored Emperor Liang, raised her head, still holding the letter in her hand, and began to tell her story.

"Thirteen years ago, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang conspired to order a scholar named Li to imitate the handwriting of Nie Feng, the vanguard general of the Red Flame Army, and forge a secret letter, falsely accusing the Red Flame Army commander Lin Xie of treason and deceiving the monarch. This is their first crime."

"In order to prove the false accusations against the Red Flame Army and cut off the source of the correspondence, Xie Yu led his troops to ambush Nie Feng's vanguard camp, causing its entire army to be annihilated, and then put the blame on Marshal Lin. This is his second crime."

When Emperor Liang heard that it was this case, his face turned red and he pointed at Li Yang angrily, wanting to yell at Li Yang to shut up, but Princess Li Yang ignored him and continued.

"During the march, Xie Yu lied that Lin Xie was going to send troops to the capital, and obtained the emperor's military token by trickery. He and Xia Jiang ambushed the troops at Meiling. When the Red Flame Army and the Dayu Army were exhausted in a bloody battle, he did not announce the emperor's order or offer surrender, but instead took them by surprise and slaughtered them on a large scale, causing 70,000 loyal souls to die unjustly at Meiling. Afterwards, he lied that the Red Flame Army was plotting treason and defying the emperor's order, so they had to be wiped out on the spot. This is his third crime."

Emperor Liang was so angry that his body was shaking. He sat back on the dragon chair and roared angrily, "Shut up, shut up."

"Come here, drag her away for me, drag her away."

The imperial guards guarding outside the palace heard Emperor Liang's roar, responded loudly, and then took action.

The sound of footsteps continued to be heard in the outer hall, and it could be heard that many people rushed in, but what was puzzling was that the door of the inner hall was still closed, and the Royal Guards did not rush in. Instead, the sound outside soon ceased.

Such a commotion made all the noble ministers in the hall look horrified, and they all felt that something was wrong.

While everyone was puzzled, Meng Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards who had been standing beside Emperor Liang, suddenly walked out, came to the front of the hall, and knelt on both knees in front of Emperor Liang.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully ask you to listen to what the Princess has to say."

Emperor Liang was stunned for a moment, looking at Meng Zhi who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. He never expected that the most loyal person around him would actually betray him.

"Meng Zhi, you, you actually also..."

Now he understood why the Imperial Guards outside the palace did not come in. It was not because his orders were useless, but because the Imperial Guards were stopped by the Imperial Guards.

The commander-in-chief of the imperial guards who was guarding his safety led the imperial guards to betray him. He felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

All the ministers in the hall were horrified. First, the princess brought up an old case from more than ten years ago, and then the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards rebelled. This signal was really too scary.

Prince Yu Xiao Jinghuan, who had a keen sense of smell, had his face changed drastically, and soon he turned his gaze to Xiao Jingyan, who had been sitting quietly.

"Xiao Jingyan, what do you want to do?"

Seeing that she was not in danger, Princess Li Yang continued, "After the Meiling Massacre, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang used Marshal Lin's golden seal to forge letters, falsely accusing the Red Flame Army of treason, which was instigated by Prince Qi, in an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne. This caused Prince Qi to suffer an unjustifiable injustice and his entire family to be wiped out. This is their fourth crime."

These words completely made Emperor Liang lose his mind. Prince Qi was his son, and a father killing his son was a hurdle that he would never be able to overcome.

He just grabbed the things on the table and threw them at Princess Li Yang.

But Princess Li Yang remained indifferent and continued to explain.

"After the unjust case happened, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang blocked all avenues for seeking justice. Those who knew the truth and wanted to appeal were all killed one by one. Their words could not reach the ears of the emperor. This is their fifth crime."

"The five major crimes were all confessed by Xie Yu himself, without a single falsehood. Your Majesty, please clarify the injustice, follow the will of heaven, and order a retrial of the Red Flame Army case."

"If your majesty grants my permission, I can rest in peace even if I die."

After saying this, she bowed again.

Princess Li Yang's voice echoed in the hall. Many noble ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Many of them secretly looked up at Emperor Liang, wanting to see his reaction.

Emperor Liang was already out of breath with anger, and shouted loudly: "Imperial Guards, where are the Imperial Guards, Imperial Guards..."

Unfortunately, the Royal Guards in the outer hall were blocked by the Imperial Guards who outnumbered them several times, and could not enter the inner hall at all.

The commander of the Imperial Guards was also smart. He did not order an attack and just remained in a stalemate with the Imperial Guards outside.

This seems ridiculous, but it is actually normal. Since Xiao Jingyan dared to force the emperor to abdicate today, he must have made sufficient preparations. The Imperial Guards are not a suicide squad and naturally have weaknesses. They will not seek death even though they know they cannot win.

Seeing that there was no response no matter how he shouted, Emperor Liang felt pressured. He knew that this was a conspiracy against him.

Seeing that Emperor Liang was sitting on the dragon throne and had not given his will, Princess Nihuang, who had been prepared, stood up from the table, walked to the middle, and knelt beside Princess Li Yang.

"Your Majesty, I was betrothed to Lin Shu by the Empress Dowager. Thirteen years have passed, and the agreement has not been annulled. As the descendant of the Lin family, I beg Your Majesty to review the Chiyan case."

Seeing Mu Nihuang prostrating herself on the ground, the already furious Emperor Liang sneered.

"I didn't get involved with Prince Mu's Mansion because of the royal marriage. I didn't expect that you would actually..."

At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted Emperor Liang's angry rebuke.

Cai Quan, the Minister of Justice, who was always impartial and just, came out from the ranks of ministers and said loudly, "Your Majesty, what the princess said is shocking, and there is also Xie Yu's handwritten evidence. If we don't investigate thoroughly, it will not be enough to calm the court and the people. Please approve the princess's request and re-examine the case of the emperor's eldest son and Chi Yan from now on to show your majesty's wisdom and virtue."

Although Cai Quan was a stubborn person, he was also a smart man. He not only made his attitude clear, but also helped to put Emperor Liang in a good position.

Emperor Liang was about to get angry, but another important minister came out and agreed with Cai Quan's proposal.

"Your Majesty, what Minister Cai said is absolutely right. I second your opinion."

The Minister of Revenue Shen Zhui was no longer intimidated at this time, and he also stood up and shouted loudly: "I second the motion."

Led by these three ministers, the courtiers in the hall came out one after another, shouting their secondment. In just a blink of an eye, most of the courtiers stood up, leaving only a few who looked at each other, hesitant in their hearts, and did not stand up.

"I second the motion." "I also second the motion."…………

This scene was truly shocking. Emperor Liang was truly dumbfounded. He stood up again in shock and looked at this scene in disbelief.

Even Prince Yu, who had not been involved in the court affairs for a long time, looked at this scene in horror. He had already determined that all this must have been done by Xiao Jingyan.

But he just couldn't believe that Xiao Jingyan had only been the crown prince for a few months, but there were so many court officials standing on his side and even helping him to fight against his father. This completely refreshed his worldview.

He has only been out of touch with worldly affairs for a few months, but has the Daliang court already become like this?

Prince Ji, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up unsteadily and walked to the middle. He didn't dare to look up at first, but soon he raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Liang.

"I think that what the ministers are asking for is very reasonable. I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

Emperor Liang looked at Prince Ji who was prostrating himself on the ground and pointed at him angrily: "Even you, you too..."

He was so excited that he covered his violently beating heart. Prince Ji's betrayal was more difficult for him to accept than the court officials' request.

Because Prince Ji was his biological brother, who had never disobeyed him for decades, he found Prince Ji's betrayal unacceptable.

Seeing the excited Emperor Liang, Gao Zhan hurried forward to comfort him, but was pushed away by the Emperor.

Emperor Liang looked excitedly at his brother and sister who were kneeling on the ground, as well as a group of court officials, and roared angrily.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to force me together? Huh?"

"Xie Yuren has been dead for a long time. Just based on a handwritten letter that is hard to tell whether it is true or not, and her fabricated story, do you want me to re-examine an old case from more than ten years ago?"

Having said this, he excitedly threw away all the items on the dragon table and glared at the ministers.

No one dared to speak at this time, but the Minister of Justice Cai Quan was not afraid at all. Although he knelt on the ground, he raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this case is not only about what crime Xie Yu should be punished for, but also about convincing the world of the court's handling of the case. If you let it go, rumors will spread everywhere, which will hurt your Majesty's reputation and the stability of your country. I again ask Your Majesty to accept my advice and grant a retrial of the Chiyan case."

Zhou Chen looked at Cai Quan. He was also impressed by Cai Quan's generous words. Cai Quan was indeed a capable minister who dared to give advice. In this respect, he was better than 90% of the court officials.

You have to know that Emperor Liang is the supreme emperor. Cai Quan was so disrespectful to Emperor Liang and forced him in public. Not everyone has the courage to do this.

You can say that he is too upright and does not know how to protect himself, but no dynasty can be without such upright and loyal ministers.

Chapter 872: The Clown, Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate

The young and energetic Mu Qing, who had been biased because of his sister, could no longer bear it when he saw this situation and stood up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, I second this motion."

"This is such an injustice that will last for thousands of years. No one can have a clear conscience and pretend not to have heard anything. Since the case was wrongly tried, it should be retried. This is the simplest truth, Your Majesty."

Mu Qing was not like other people who could speak of great truths. He simply expressed what was in his mind.

But Mu Qing's words made Emperor Liang even angrier. His brother and sister betrayed him, and his ministers contradicted him in the name of justice. Now you, a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, dare to question him and teach him a lesson?

He roared loudly: "Presumptuous, Mu Qing, do you want to rebel too?"

Although Mu Qing was full of vigor just now, he was frightened by Emperor Liang's roar. He fell to the ground and did not dare to look at Emperor Liang.

Mu Qing was afraid of Emperor Liang, but there was someone who was not. Just when Emperor Liang was furious, a loud and steady voice suddenly sounded.

"I also second my opinion."

In an instant, everyone in the hall looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Marquis Yan and Uncle Yan suddenly stand up from the table, stand straight, and walk to the bottom of Emperor Liang.

"Your Majesty, what the princess said just now is clear in context and facts. According to the law, the case should be reopened for retrial. But I just don't understand why Your Majesty is hesitant."

Although Yan Que hadn't been to the court for many years, his prestige in the court was still there. When he spoke, all the ministers immediately shouted.

"What Yan Hou said is very true, the ministers and others seconded."

"I second this motion, and I ask Your Majesty to approve it."

Emperor Liang was completely dumbfounded. His hands were shaking as he pointed at everyone, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"You are all clan members, clan members, who told you to treat me like this, who told you to treat me like this?"

Emperor Liang was so emotional that he completely lost his composure. This was the first time that he, who had always been authoritarian and overbearing, had shown such a look in front of his court officials.

At this moment, Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan, who was sitting above, suddenly stood up, ignored Emperor Liang, and under the gaze of everyone, slowly walked to Princess Li Yang who was kneeling on the ground, and solemnly helped Princess Li Yang up.

When the others saw Xiao Jingyan's actions, they all stood up as well.

Only Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingyan in disbelief.

Xiao Jingyan turned around and walked in front of Emperor Liang, bowed and said, "I second the motion. I hope Your Majesty will grant me the permission to re-examine the Chiyan case."

Emperor Liang, who was originally excited and angry, was no longer excited when he saw Xiao Jingyan standing up, and laughed at himself.

"you you."

With anger mixed in, he stepped down from the dragon table and pointed at Xiao Jingyan: "It's you, I should have guessed it long ago, it must be you, only you, only you can..."

Then he noticed Concubine Jing who had been standing next to him. Seeing Concubine Jing gazing at him fearlessly, he suddenly understood and laughed at himself.

Prince Yu, who had been watching coldly, suddenly had a light in his eyes when he saw this scene, and he suddenly stood up.

"Father."

Prince Yu first called out "Father", then stood in front of Xiao Jingyan and angrily said, "Xiao Jingyan, you are so bold, are you trying to force the emperor to revolt?"

Xiao Jingyan just looked at him coldly: "Brother Prince Yu, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Prince Yu shouted excitedly: "How can it have nothing to do with me? Your desire to force the emperor to abdicate has something to do with me, Xiao Jingyan. Your father values ​​you and made you the crown prince. You actually conspired with all the officials to force the emperor to abdicate. You are so bold."

"Jing Huan."

Emperor Liang stared at this scene in astonishment. At a time when almost everyone betrayed him, Prince Yu, whom he had neglected for a long time, actually stood up and stood in front of him without hesitation. This was something he had never expected.

Prince Yu said excitedly: "Father, don't worry, I am here. If Xiao Jingyan wants to touch you today, he will have to step over my body first."

"Jing Huan."

It was a scene of loving father and filial son, but Xiao Jingyan suddenly said in a low voice: "Meng Zhi."

Meng Zhi stepped forward without hesitation and replied, "I am here."

Xiao Jingyan said coldly: "Brother Yu is drunk. To prevent him from losing manners in front of the palace, you arrange for someone to take Brother Yu to rest."
