Chapter 649: Who Will Bear the Future of the Liang Dynasty?
silence.
Deathly silence.
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Soon the courtiers reacted and knelt down to salute, shouting long live the mountain.
No matter what happened before, the fact that Emperor Liang appears here now, in front of the courtiers, can explain a lot of things.
Emperor Liang sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time, just silent.
The courtiers knelt on the ground with different thoughts. What happened today is no longer a secret. The Wei family had conspired to rebel and the entire clan had been executed.
As a Wei family that has existed longer than the Liang Dynasty, it has a long history. Before last night, no one would have thought that such a towering tree would fall down in an instant.
Just one night, the sky in Daliang Dynasty changed.
After this night, the Xie family became the largest family in the Daliang Dynasty, and there were no longer any constraints. It is hard to say what role the Xie family would play in the Daliang Dynasty in the future. Will it lead to a dominant family and give birth to many children? It’s hard to talk about troublesome things.
This kind of situation in the court is not what many people want to see, but the reasons for the demise of the Wei family are indeed irrefutable.
Wei is a ghost.
It's a ghost hiding in Daliang.
If it were another emperor, if it were another dynasty, he might have turned a blind eye and would not have had a falling out with Fang Wai, but in this current building, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, this ghost would only be able to be killed by Fang Wai. If found, it must be removed.
And with this ghost being eliminated, it can be said that there has never been a time in the Liang Dynasty when the connection between himself and Fang Wai has been so clean as it is now.
Such a big beam might be able to accomplish something if Fang Wai gets rid of it, but the problem is that Fang Wai won't just sit idly by.
So the Guanzhu and the Sword Sect master took action one after another.
The war is over.
Emperor Liang is still alive.
This story seems to be almost finished.
But what does His Majesty mean by convening a court meeting at this moment?
The courtiers were very confused when thinking about this matter, but no one dared to speak. Everyone knelt in silence, kneeling before the human emperor who had shown himself to be unparalleled in the world.
"Flat body."
Emperor Liang finally spoke, his voice calm.
The courtiers stood up
, still with his head lowered, someone couldn't help but take a peek at His Majesty the Emperor sitting in front of the main hall, and found that there was nothing unusual about His Majesty the Emperor except that his face was pale.
"My dear friends, I think you have heard about what happened last night."
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "Who would have thought that the Wei family, who is known as my minister of the Liang Dynasty, was actually a ghost sent to the secular world by Fang Wai from the beginning?"
Although His Majesty the Emperor was smiling, everyone could hear the chill in his words.
As early as the emperor of Daliang ascended the throne, he had already started to clean up the ghosts lurking in Daliang outside the country, including the ghost hunting that year in the cold winter, and the subsequent destruction of the Xia family, to the cleanup on the night of the palace change, and now with the force of thunder. Destroy the Wei family.
These things and these people all affect the whole beam. Once they are touched, it may shake the whole beam. Another emperor may not do it, but the emperor of the beam not only did it, but he also did it very decisively.
"Many years ago, I knew that the government and the public were full of ghosts. Daliang seemed to be prosperous, but in fact it was just a puppet on the strings of Fangwai... Every move was subject to many constraints."
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "Someone will say it if they think about it. Even so, so what, this has been like this since ancient times. If the outside world is powerful, ordinary people should keep their heads down."
"But no one is born to have his head lowered, and no one is born to be stepped on."
"It's always been like this, right?"
The Emperor of Daliang shook his head and said calmly, "I have done so many things. Many people are afraid that they will secretly curse me for being hostile to Fang Diang and putting Daliang into a crisis. But I just want to tell you that it is easy to live with your head down, but Even if you are willing to accept this kind of life, your children, your grandchildren, and your descendants may not accept it. If we don’t think about it for ourselves, we should probably think about it for our children and descendants.”
Having said this, Emperor Daliang glanced around, but no one dared to meet his gaze. After a moment of silence, he smiled and shook his head and said, "That's all, no matter what, after today, Daliang will just be Daliang. What the future holds is unknown. Just keep pushing forward.”
Having said this, Emperor Liang waved his hands a little tiredly, "Where is Tai Shi Ling?"
Taishi Ling walked out from among the ministers and looked at Daliang with some confusion.
The emperor glanced at him and then lowered his head, "I'm here."
"Will what happened last night and what happened today be left in the annals of history?"
Emperor Liang asked calmly.
Tai Shiling said seriously, "Your Majesty, as a historian, I will naturally record everything that happened."
"Never lied a word?"
Emperor Liang looked at Tai Shi Ling.
Taishi Ling solemnly said, "No."
Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction and waved Taishi Ling to retreat.
Then His Majesty the Emperor took a deep look at the courtiers present, then turned his head, looked at Chen Chao who had been standing next to him, and said softly, "I said before, I took this world from a nephew, and it is also But returning it to another nephew is not an empty promise. Now I ask you again, I will give the world to you, are you willing to take it? "
Emperor Liang's voice was very soft, but not quiet. Many courtiers could hear it clearly at this moment.
"Your Majesty, no!"
The first person to speak was none other than Tai Shiling who had spoken before.
The historian of the Liang Dynasty said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty was at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, so why should he lay down his future affairs? Even if he really wants to pass on the throne, he still has a prince, so he must not pass it on to outsiders!"
For a moment, the courtiers all reacted and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Your Majesty, how can we give up our ancestors to others?"
"Your Majesty, think again. If this is the case, the clan system will be useless!"
The courtiers are not fools. Judging from His Majesty the Emperor's current decisions, they all guessed that His Majesty the Emperor has already run out of fuel after the battle with the Guanzhu and the Sword Sect leader. Otherwise, how could he arrange his funeral arrangements now?
But even if funeral arrangements have to be made, what will happen to the Chen Dynasty if this new king succeeds to the throne?
How could it be Chen Chao?
The two princes who had already arrived were silent. The eldest prince smiled bitterly. He probably had already thought about today's situation. His father was dissatisfied with several of his sons. Whether it was him, the second eldest son, or the third eldest son. He was never the son that his father liked.
On the contrary, Chen Chao was deeply loved by his father from the very beginning.
Now when it comes time to pass the ball, I still won't choose them.
The third prince lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
He didn't say a word, just clenched his fists.
"Chen Chao is my nephew, and the blood flowing in his blood is the blood of my Chen family. Why should I treat him like an outsider?"
Emperor Liang refuted the ministers, waved his sleeves, and just turned to look at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?"
Saying this in front of all the ministers in the world and the two princes, if Chen Chao shook his head, wouldn't the new king keep today's events in his heart?
This is obviously the conspiracy of Emperor Liang.
"How could I die so easily if it wasn't a passing of the throne?"
Emperor Daliang smiled and said, "Just look after Daliang for me for the time being."
Chen Chao looked at Emperor Liang with a little sadness in his eyes.
"The Sword Sect Master's sword became nine points. I gave him the last point. He promised me something. You will know what it is specifically. As for Chixin Guan, I also have arrangements, so there is no need to worry."
Emperor Liang spoke this sentence from his heart, and no one except Chen Chao could hear it.
Chen Chao also responded with his heartfelt voice, "Has Your Majesty anticipated today's situation?"
"Fang Wai only thinks that I have gone very far in the realm of martial arts, and the courtiers only think that I am arbitrary and arbitrary. But am I a fool?"
Emperor Liang glanced at Chen Chao with some pride, an emotion he rarely showed.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly.
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "But I still feel a little unsure. After all, there is still one person who has not fought, and that person is stronger than the Guanzhu and the Sword Sect master combined."
"So make some preparations."
Chen Chao said, "It's the Demon Emperor."
Emperor Liang nodded. This situation started with the Wei family, but ended up falling on the Demon Emperor.
Chen Chao then became even more worried.
No matter whether it is the temple master or the master of the Sword Sect, they are all too far apart in front of the Demon Emperor.
Emperor Liang shook his head and signaled Chen Chao not to worry, and then asked again, "Chen Chao, are you willing?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I accept the emperor's favor and dare not think like this."
This time the two of them had a conversation that could be heard by the officials.
Emperor Liang no longer hesitated and said calmly, "Li Heng, take my imperial seal."
