Episode 53
At this time, Prince Jingyan also stood up silently, stood among the ministers, and demanded a retrial of Chi Yan's old case.Only then did Emperor Liang realize that all this was planned and led by Jingyan.Seeing the elder knelt down and unable to afford his clan members and courtiers, he knew that people's hearts were turning to the prince and that he was no longer able to control the situation of the court.
Jing Yan bluntly stated that re-examination of old cases is about the truth and innocence, and about major issues of right and wrong. Those who are guilty or guilty should be held accountable.Emperor Liang suspected that he would take the opportunity to rebel, but Jingyan frankly stated that he would not rebel.Emperor Liang cast suspicious eyes on Mei Changsu again.Mei Changsu stood up slowly. Regardless of Emperor Liang's obstruction, he recounted one by one his father Lin Xie's actions in helping and saving Emperor Liang.He asked Emperor Liang sternly, "Shuai Lin is a friend and minister, and he will live up to His Majesty. What he wants now is just to restore the truth. Why can't he agree? Emperor Liang was shocked to realize that the person in front of him must be Lin Shu."He almost frantically yelled "rebellious ministers and traitors" and rushed towards Mei Changsu with his sword. Jingyan stood in front of him with his chest raised.Emperor Liang pointed his sword at Jingyan, but Jingyan remained unmoved and firmly stated that he would never be the second King Qi.The sword in Emperor Liang's hand finally fell to the ground with a clang.He left the hall feeling lost.
Emperor Liang vented his anger unscrupulously in the palace. He regretted being forced into such a desperate situation by the prince of the prison country.Concubine Jing helped Emperor Liang up and told him that the prince only wanted to request a retrial of Chi Yan's old case and had no intention of rebellion. The important reason for the retrial was because the truth was what it was.
Outside the palace, none of the ministers left, they were all waiting for the order quietly.Emperor Liang thought for a long time and summoned Mei Changsu alone.Mei Changsu entered the palace alone and bluntly pointed out that Emperor Liang had buried all family ties and morals in unwarranted suspicion.In fact, old friends often appeared in his dreams over the years, which made Emperor Liang uneasy. At this time, he did not have the courage to read the handwritten letter submitted by Mei Changsu, and did not dare to face the fact that his own flesh and blood and loyal ministers and generals were persecuted to death.Faced with Emperor Liang's unreasonable sophistry and despicable speculations, Mei Changsu told Emperor Liang that King Qi only left one sentence before his death, that is, the father does not know the son, and the son does not know the father.
Faced with the bloody facts, Emperor Liang still insisted that King Qi was arrogant and that Lin Xie supported his troops and had self-respect, and indeed had the intention of rebellion.Mei Changsu angrily accused Emperor Liang of only having the majestic imperial power and no longer having the world in his heart.
Emperor Liang knew that the situation was over and he had no choice, so he agreed to a retrial and a heavy sentence, but Lin Shu could not stand alive in the court and in front of the people of the world.Mei Changsu nodded in agreement, saying that he and Emperor Liang would never have to see each other again, and turned around and left without any regrets.In fact, he never wanted to see the uncle who loved him so much in the past but now had a blood feud.
Emperor Liang issued an edict to review Chi Yan's old case.More than a month later, the case was concluded, and Ruhai's grievances were finally brought to light.
Lin Chen asked Mei Changsu to really relax and stop thinking about how long he could hold on.Believe in him, if the two of you work hard together, miracles will happen.
