Grand Master Liang was forcing Emperor An.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
How could Emperor An not understand what Taishi Liang meant? He glared at Liang Guangyi: "I told you, I will order people to investigate Xiao Yan's matter. Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so all the ministers will go back to their respective homes for reunion..."
"Since it's a festive season, why don't Your Majesty start the trial now?"
Grand Master Liang looked at him: "The matter of deposing the queen has become known to everyone, and there is no way to hide what Zheng Kun said. If we can't interrogate the matter in front of the courtiers attending the banquet tonight, and find out the truth of the matter of deposing the queen, , I fear that it will bring disaster to His Majesty’s holy name and make people think that Your Majesty is cool.”
"The Lu family is wrong for treason, and Queen Lu deserves death for what she did. But if they were tricked and lured to this point, shouldn't Your Majesty give the world an explanation?"
"Liang Guangyi!"
"His Majesty!"
Taishi Liang calmly said to Emperor Shang'an, "I know that Governor Xiao is a close official of the Emperor, and he is also responsible for the affairs of the Lu family. If it is really authorized by His Majesty, then it will be fine. If it is a big thing, he will not stick to trivial matters."
"But if he did not have your Majesty's permission, then he used his body as a eunuch to collude with the prince, have an affair with the concubine, and deceive the emperor. All of them are serious crimes. Your Majesty must be tried strictly, and he will be punished for the courtiers, the clan, and the previous reasons. Cui Shangshu, who has been despised by His Majesty, and Prince Xin will explain the matter of King Cheng together."
Liang Guangyi's voice was not loud. Compared with the anger of Cui Lin and others, he was extremely calm. But the more he was like this, the more people could feel the ruthlessness of this current grand master.
In the past, because Liang Guangyi was about to reach old age and because the Liang family had no heirs, affairs in the court had long been left to the hands of courtiers from other aristocratic families, and they would not speak easily unless it was a major matter.
But once he opened his mouth at this time, he revealed his power as a grand master and the leader of powerful ministers.
Everyone in the hall was extremely quiet, while Emperor An looked at Liang Guangyi angrily, enduring the pain in his mind and wishing he could kill this old man.
He also hated Xiao Yan for secretly interacting with Lu Qingfeng's mother and son, and even more hated that he had known about King Cheng's affairs but never said a word, which made him lose face. However, Emperor An knew better that no matter what relationship Xiao Yan had with Queen Lu, he could not interrogate this person in public. .
Xiao Yan has done too many shameful things since he relied on him. In order to clean up the court, he also used any means to eradicate aristocratic families for him.
He knows too much about him and knows too many secret things.
Even if Xiao Yan really colluded with Lu Qingfeng behind his back, Emperor An could only execute Xiao Yan secretly and never let him speak in public.
But Liang Guangyi, an old man, put him on a high pedestal, making it difficult for him to move forward or retreat. This almost blocked An Di's way of dealing with Xiao Yan privately.
When the monarch and his ministers confronted each other, the atmosphere in Zichen Palace was tense and tense.
Grand Master Liang suddenly looked at Xiao Yan: "President Xiao has always been eloquent and loyal. I guess he doesn't want to be blamed by Zheng Kun for living in ignorance?"
Xiao Yan raised his thin lips and said, "Those who are clean will be clean themselves."
"Oh, I think you can't tell the difference!"
Cui Lin mocked directly, and then looked at Prince Xin, who had never spoken a word: "Second Prince, you, like me, have made His Majesty disgusted by exposing the old story between Empress Lu and Prince Cheng, and you have been so humiliated. title."
"Both of you and I were plotted by Xiao Yan. He deliberately set up a trap to lure us into a trap and wanted to harm us. Don't you want to seek justice?"
Prince Hatred was sitting at the banquet and when Cui Lin called his name, he held the wine glass in his hand and hesitated for a moment.
He never expected that Xiao Yan would have been in contact with Queen Lu and her son for a long time, and knew about King Cheng earlier. So he really didn't know what he did later, and he deliberately allowed him and Cui Lin to investigate the matter secretly, pushing Did they offend their father?
Prince Hatred couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan, and saw that even though he faced so many people's attacks and even had his past exposed by Zheng Kun, his expression remained cold and indifferent.
It was not a pretense of calmness, but it seemed that everything in the palace, Zheng Kun's death, Cui Lin's questioning, his father's anger, had nothing to do with him...
Prince Hatred's heart, which had been shaken by Cui Lin and the others, was like being poured down by a basin of cold water, and he suddenly remembered Xiao Yan's methods.
His mind suddenly came to his senses, he immediately let go of the already hot wine glass in his hand, stood up and said calmly:
"When I exposed the incident between the Queen and King Cheng, it was just out of my heart. I had already expected that my father would hate me."
"I am different from Cui Shangshu. You investigated this matter to gain promotion and benefit the Cui family, but I just don't want to let the royal family fall into dust and make people confused about the royal bloodline."
Cui Lin never expected that Prince Hate would suddenly say this. Seeing his righteousness and "I won't collude with you" attitude, Cui Lin's eyes widened and he almost fainted.
The Prince hated Cui Lin's glare and just stood at the table and said calmly:
"As a child of the royal family, I enjoy the support of everyone in the world. How can I conceal the truth just because I am afraid of my father's disgust? Even if Xiao Yan deliberately led me to notice this matter, I will only be grateful to him. If not, the royal family will not Knowing how long to hide it after being deposed.”
"you……"
Cui Lin almost said, "You idiot, are you crazy?"
No one knows who Xie Pingjia is better than him. When he went beyond the Fourth Prince to gain support from the family and tried to please him, he was not so honest. He did not use any means to deal with the Fourth Prince.
He has a filthier heart than anyone else, but now he is showing off his face like a white lotus in a prosperous age.
If he hadn't been in front of the Holy Spirit, and if there weren't so many people watching in the palace, he would have wanted to spit in his face.
"Didn't you hear what Zheng Kun said just now? Xiao Yan colluded with the prince and had an affair with the concubine!" Cui Lin said angrily.
Prince Hate frowned: "It's just a casual remark from a thief who pretended to be in the palace and had evil intentions. How can this be used as evidence?"
"Since Zheng Kun is a deposed person, he naturally resents Governor Xiao for taking action against the Lu family. Besides, it's just what he said himself. Who knows if he is a deposed person. Maybe someone can't understand Governor Xiao and deliberately To bribe Zheng Kunxing to frame him?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Emperor An: "Father, Governor Xiao is also an important minister in the court. No matter what, you should pay attention to evidence, rather than trying to convict someone with just a few words."
"Cui Shangshu is so anxious to embarrass Governor Xiao. Is it for his father or selfish reasons?"
"Old minister, I only want justice..."
"Since it is for the sake of justice, my father said, why not order Governor Xiao to be severely interrogated after a detailed investigation?"
Prince Hatred looked directly at Cui Lin: "We are in a different place. Could it be that someone randomly showed up and said that what happened tonight was all Cui Shangshu's doing? It was you who had long hated Governor Xiao for gaining the favor of his father. The Cui family Is it true that you deliberately colluded with Madam Xuan and Zheng Kun to cause what happened tonight just to frame Governor Xiao after you have suffered a series of setbacks recently?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Cui Lin suddenly became furious.
Prince Hatred laughed: "Look, Cui Shangshu also knows that this is nonsense. Isn't it even more ridiculous that a dead man who insulted his father and humiliated the royal family would have to interrogate an important official of the court in public based on a few words?"
"Shang Shu Cui, I know you have been at odds with Governor Xiao for a long time, but don't be too selfish."
Cui Lin: "..."
Hey, hey, you’re a bitch!
This bastard hates the prince, is he crazy? ! !
