Martial Cultivator

Chen Chao's voice still echoed in everyone's ears for a long time and never left.

Everyone heard it clearly.

The young man in front of him admitted that he was the child of Prince Yiwen, that he was the younger brother of the deposed emperor, and that he had the blood of the Chen family flowing in his body.

This actually made everyone silent.

When His Majesty the Emperor rebelled, he fought fiercely all the way and finally broke into the divine capital. Then he deposed the emperor and set fire to the imperial city, burying his whole family in a sea of ​​fire.

After that day, all the courtiers believed that no descendants of the deposed emperor were still alive, so many courtiers became frustrated and chose to support the new emperor.

But how many of them are forced to do so?

Emperor Lingzong appointed Prince Yiwen as the crown prince and the successor of Daliang. After his death, the deposed emperor ascended the throne. This is the orthodox inheritance. His Majesty the emperor today is just a stolen world.

In the past ten years, those veterans who were originally loyal to Emperor Lingzong and those who originally believed that the deposed emperor was the orthodox successor were able to live in peace with His Majesty the Emperor only because after the deposed emperor, this lineage could no longer exist. No royal family exists in the world.

Now that the deposed emperor's younger brother has been proven to be alive, in a sense, he may be the most orthodox successor to Daliang.

He should sit on the throne.

Although the official of Tianyuyuan accused Chen Chao of seeking the country, many courtiers present did not think so.

For a time, people's hearts were divided and they were extremely silent.

The old nun sneered and said, "Just a bastard, where did he come from such a big battle?"

Yes, even though Chen Chao was the younger brother of the deposed emperor and the heir of Prince Yiwen, he was just a bastard after all, and the throne could not be handed over to him no matter what.

"Your Majesty, since Chen Chao's identity has been confirmed, he has hidden his identity for a long time and has been dormant in the court. What he wants to do is like a clear mirror in everyone's mind. The foundation of our country is due to your Majesty's removal of the faint king and his accession to the throne. After that, there was this peaceful and prosperous age. Now that this person appears, I am afraid that he will shake up the world. Therefore, I ask your majesty to get rid of him immediately!"

The Tianyuyuan official spoke again, and then suddenly prostrated.

Bang.

It was the sound of his head hitting the ground.

Blood spilled from his forehead.

This is a dead remonstrance!

At the same time, the courtiers who had wanted Chen Chao to die quickly came out and knelt down again, "Your Majesty, this person has great intentions. If he is not eliminated, the world will be in trouble! I ask your Majesty to act quickly." Decide and behead him immediately!”

The courtiers walked out one after another and fell to their knees, all saying almost the same thing.

For a time, the atmosphere between the banquet was extremely tense.

Previously, they wanted to kill Chen Chao on the grounds of Song Ting, and perhaps give Chen Chao a chance of survival. Now, based on Chen Chao's status, if the remnants of the previous dynasty came to eliminate Chen Chao, there would be no other chance.

Since His Majesty the Emperor, who is sitting on the throne, has taken away the Chen Dynasty and his family's world, now that the Chen Dynasty appears, I am afraid that anyone who thinks of it will be killed.

No emperor in history would have chosen otherwise.

Any emperor who is not stupid,

The choices made will be the same.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"

It was Song Lian who spoke. After he knelt down, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Commander Chen has done something in the past few years since he became an official in the court. Everyone has seen what he has done. He promoted the prestige of our country and dedicated his life to our country. Even if there are some issues with his identity, he has never done anything to seek the country. If His Majesty wants to kill him because of old things, what will the history books say about His Majesty? How will everyone talk about His Majesty in the future? "

"Song Lian, you are so bold that you dare to openly protect the remnants of the previous dynasty. Do you also have the intention of seeking the country?!"

Just as Song Lian opened his mouth, an official shouted loudly and looked at the newly promoted commander of the right guard with anger.

Nowadays, the public sentiment is very exciting. Even if many people do not agree to kill Chen Chao, they will not come out to express their position. It is because they are still speculating on the thoughts of Emperor Liang. Only Song Lian dares to speak out at this time.

"I, Song Lian, have been an official for many years, and I have never been greedy for a penny, nor have I ever eaten a meal without a meal. I have only one word of loyalty to Daliang, and only one word of loyalty to Your Majesty. It is really ridiculous to say that I, Song Lian, have the heart to pursue the country!"

Song Lian frowned, "I just don't want Daliang to lose the pillar of a country, and the people of the world to lose a good official!"

"It's ridiculous. People like him can be called the pillars of the country and good officials?!"

An official sneered and said, "Hidden his identity and entered the court to serve as an official. Even if he has not revealed any evidence of rebellion, none of the ministers can see what his intentions are? You have defended him again and again. I'm afraid you have secretly accepted him." The good thing is, I don’t know what official position Mr. Song will hold in the new dynasty. Is it the position of guardian envoy?”

"you……"

Song Lian was speechless for a moment and unable to refute.

The official came from an academy and was an out-and-out scholar. When it came to talking skills, Song Lian was nothing more than a martial artist. How could he compare with the people in front of him in terms of talking skills? Not to mention one Song Lian, even ten Song Lian. Will not be his opponent.

Song Lian was defeated, and many people were happy to see the result, but after a brief silence, a voice quickly sounded, it was Mi Ke who had spoken before.

"Your Majesty is a wise king who has never been seen in the ages. He had to seize the world before, and it was the deposed emperor who made mistakes first. Now that the Chen Dynasty has failed to live up to your majesty, you are going to ask your majesty to kill Commander Chen. Do you really want to Put Your Majesty in an unkind and unjust situation, and want to make His Majesty eternally infamy!"

Mi Ke is worthy of being a scholar, and when he opens his mouth, it is clear that he has great righteousness in his hands. He is much smarter than Song Lian.

The official was stunned and speechless.

But soon the voice of the imperial court official from the previous day sounded again, "Lord Mi, I already have evidence about Chen Chao's plan to seek the country!"

Mi Ke had just found the feeling, but when the Tianyuyuan official in front of him spoke, Mi Ke's heart trembled.

He opened his lips for a moment, but nothing could come out.

Originally, he was willing to come out and say something for Chen Chao because he didn't want his official career, or even his life, but now if there is really irrefutable evidence, then

No matter how much he said, it was all in vain.

"Since Mr. Liu said there is evidence, where is the evidence?!"

The second prince was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again. Staring at the official of the Tianyuyuan, the second prince was extremely serious, "Master Liu needs to know that if you are slandered for no reason, your majesty will not tolerate you!"

"Your Highness, since I dare to speak, I naturally have ironclad evidence in hand. Can I ask Commander Chen?"

Liu Tong spoke, but His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, and neither did the Second Prince.

The eldest prince looked at the second prince several times, then shook his head.

The third prince looked at his second brother with a puzzled look on his face. Even a young man like him noticed something was wrong at this moment.

"Chen Chao, you served as the guardian of Tianqing County at the beginning of the twelfth year of Tianjian, right?"

Liu Tong stared at Chen Chao with burning eyes.

Chen Chao, who had been silent all the time, looked at him and didn't rush to speak. After a long time, he said, "Yes."

This experience was actually known to many courtiers present.

"Then how did you get the position of guardian envoy of Tianqing County?!"

Liu Tong sneered and said, "You have never been to the capital of the gods, so where did this position of guardian come from?!"

As we all know, the existence of the guardian envoys has always been very special. Since the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, the guardian envoys have been established to protect the land and the people. The guardian envoys have full jurisdiction over the guardian envoys and are independent of other officials. , except for His Majesty the Emperor, none of the other officials or criminal officials could interfere with the line of guardian envoys.

But as time went by, although the line of guardian envoys still played an extremely important role in the Liang Dynasty, the guardian envoys at all levels in the middle and lower classes were no longer what they were before. Instead, they became used by many aristocratic families to provide gifts to future generations. Gold plated tools.

Many people can get a garrison envoy like Tianqing County with some effort. When the Chen Dynasty came to prominence, some people checked the Chen Dynasty's files, but there were no problems.

But now that I think about it, in Chen Chao's life experience, he left Weizhou after the flood of Weizhou, and then returned to Weizhou and became a garrison envoy. How did he get the position of garrison envoy? It is very doubtful.

Since it was not awarded by the guardian envoy, it was naturally obtained through some means. Ordinary aristocratic families need to use means. Since Chen Chao was not born into a wealthy family, then who got this official position for him?

After bringing it, what was it for?

There is a huge problem here.

Being able to erase many traces afterwards shows at least two points.

The person who did this for the Chen Dynasty had great power in the Liang Dynasty.

What is the purpose of letting such a remnant of the previous dynasty become the guardian of Tianqing County?

These two issues are what Chen Chao needs to answer.

It is also the most important thing today.

The courtiers are not fools, and the heads of the aristocratic families are not fools either. They can naturally figure out the key, so many people are waiting for Chen Chao to speak.

Waiting for the truth.

Chen Chao was being looked at by countless people. Li Heng's eyes were a little worried. He knew a lot and naturally knew that there were extremely complicated things inside.

Logically speaking, it cannot escape the relationship with those old ministers who were loyal to the deposed emperor.

But if we really want to tell the world, even if it is confirmed that Chen Chao's entry into the court as an official is problematic.

"What, you can't tell me?"

The old nun's sharp voice sounded, "You little thief, what else can you say?!"

There was some pleasure in her voice.

She wanted Chen Chao to die, especially at the hands of Emperor Liang.

This was the best outcome she could think of.

"When I returned from Cangzhou, I accidentally got the trust of the Tianqing County garrison envoy. As a martial artist, I need a lot of heavenly money to strengthen my body, so I just used it to practice. But now that I think about it, when we met by chance, there was indeed someone behind the plan."

The story is actually very simple. When Chen Chao accidentally learned the White Mist method from the Chongming Sect and became a martial artist, he wanted to devote himself to practice and happened to get the trust of the guarding envoy. He had no intention of staying in Tianqing County for a long time because he always felt that That matter would be known to others, so I had actually thought about leaving for a long time, but I just happened to meet those Qi Refiners.

It sounds like a coincidence, but since arriving in Shendu, Chen Chao has been thinking about the important point.

There are really too many other people's methods there.

Although he later knew that this matter was not simple, Emperor Liang did not care, so Chen Chao did not solve it for the time being.

But no one expected that this matter would be revealed here.

Chen Chao couldn't explain clearly.

Because the person who arranged it wanted something that Chen Chao couldn't explain.

Liu Tong asked, "Chen Chao, does he want to completely evade it with the word coincidence?"

Chen Chao shook his head, "I can't explain it clearly, and I can't explain it clearly, but it is the fact."

He was a little helpless. Along the way, he still ended up trapped in someone else's game.

"Your Majesty, the facts have become clear."

Liu Tong sneered, they had already prepared, everything was for today.

Just to confirm Chen Chao's crime of seeking the country.

Since he is guilty of this crime, can An survive?

A flash of joy flashed in the second prince's eyes.

There is no longer any debate, what is waiting is His Majesty the Emperor's decision.

What is needed is the choice of His Majesty the Emperor.

All eyes are on His Majesty the Emperor.

Emperor Liang was actually very silent at the banquet. He didn't say a few words and allowed the ministers to speak. Now, when no one could say anything more, it was finally his turn to speak.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed first.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated.

"Han Pu, was the only one behind that night the Marquis of Huainan?"

No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor did not decide on Chen Chao's life or death, but instead asked about what happened that night.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Han Pu was silent for a long time. Now after hearing these words, he finally raised his head and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huainan was also ordered by others."

There will definitely be more tonight
