The ministers were speechless.

This news is really shocking. If it is taken seriously, then I am afraid that no one in the government and the public will be able to stand by His Majesty the Emperor.

Prince Yiwen was originally the crown prince designated by Emperor Lingzong. If he had not died, none of the stories would have happened. If his death had come from His Majesty the Emperor, then the world, the people, and the many courtiers and noble families would have Well, there is no reason to stand beside His Majesty the Emperor.

Except for the few ministers who followed His Majesty the Emperor in the uprising, the remaining court officials would probably not choose to stand beside him.

The dean looked at the deposed emperor and said, "Everything must be based on evidence. Do you have any evidence?"

The deposed emperor said calmly, "The late emperor has already embarked on the path of spiritual practice. No one would believe him if he died suddenly. Among the princes of Emperor Lingzong, the late emperor was the most outstanding. If the late emperor dies, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

Listening to these words, the courtiers couldn't help but think of those long-standing stories. Emperor Lingzong had two outstanding sons, both of whom were legitimate sons. There was no problem in passing the throne to either of them, but Prince Yiwen not only He is more popular among the people and is also the eldest son, so the position of crown prince has long been decided. If there are no accidents, he will be the next emperor of the Liang Dynasty.

When Prince Yiwen cannot sit on the throne, who among the princes is most likely to benefit?

Naturally, it is His Majesty the current Emperor.

"It's a pity that the emperor's grandfather has long seen your wolf ambition and did not pass the throne to you. Your plan failed and you were unwilling to accept it, which is why you launched this mutiny and rebellion." .🅆.

The deposed emperor made an understatement and sighed, "After all, just a chair and you don't care about the feelings between brothers. Fourth uncle, you are really cruel."

Based on the words of the deposed emperor, many people have already acquiesced in this story.

The dean also fell silent.

He was good friends with Emperor Daliang and Prince Yiwen. Although he could ignore the matter of world change, if Emperor Daliang really killed Prince Yiwen, then he would have no choice but to stand up and express his attitude.

Obviously, the deposed emperor in front of him also knew about that relationship, so now he wants to use his righteousness and honor to complete his restoration of the country.

"But where's the evidence?"

Just when everyone was silent, the person who spoke was none other than Chen Chao.

He stood up, looked at the deposed emperor in front of him, and asked again, "Where is the evidence?"

The deposed emperor frowned and looked at Chen Chao incomprehensibly, "What are you talking about?!"

Chen Chao had no choice but to repeat it again, "Where is the evidence?"

The deposed emperor said angrily, "What kind of evidence does this need? Isn't it obvious at a glance? As the son of the late emperor, don't you want to avenge the late emperor and instead side with him?"

\u003cb

r\u003e  Chen Chao said, "For such a big thing as killing your father, doesn't it require evidence and just rely on inference?"

The deposed emperor said coldly, "I keep my word, will I make up a story to lie to you?"

"When I was very young, you said that there was a moon in the well in the Prince's Mansion and asked me to jump in and fish it out. Later, you gave me sugar pills to eat, but in fact they were poison. As for you and the stewards of the Prince's Mansion, I still remember what he said about me and my mother.”

Chen Chao looked at the deposed emperor and said calmly, "There are many more stories. Do you want to hear them?"

"Impossible, how could I possibly do these things?"

"Do you have evidence?!"

The deposed emperor was a little angry.

He didn't quite understand. He had almost forgotten those stories back then. How could a child who was so young at that time remember them?

Chen Chao calmly said, "It has been so long since the incident, and the stewards of the Prince's Mansion have all died long ago. Of course I have no evidence, but I am your biological brother, will I slander you?"

"How is it impossible? Even if you are my younger brother, you might still side with him!"

The deposed emperor stared at Chen Chao with some anger in his eyes.

"So even if you are His Majesty's nephew, you may slander His Majesty. Even if you are the Emperor, you may tell lies. Everything in this world may be false or fabricated. Everything requires evidence."

Chen Chao looked at everyone present and said calmly, "I haven't read many books, and I know that words are unfounded. Many of you have read more books than me. Why would you believe something that has no evidence or support?" story."

"If you like to listen to inferences, then I also have inferences. If His Majesty killed my father and Emperor Lingzong knew about it, then why didn't Emperor Lingzong kill His Majesty and pass the throne to Your Majesty? Wouldn't it be a big mistake to keep him? Hidden danger?”

"If Your Majesty really wanted to kill me all, why didn't you kill me earlier when you knew my identity? You could even kill me secretly when the rumors started?"

"Anyway, according to you, the world should come before many things, so for the sake of the world, there are naturally many things that can be done, but why not do it?"

"And you, Mr. Dean, you are the leader of scholars in the world. You know the most truths in the world. I want to know if this truth is said in this way."

At this point, many officials began to ponder. The inference of deposing the emperor was certainly reasonable, but it lacked evidence, especially when the person who raised the question was also Mrs. Yiwen.

When he became the son of his son, the words of deposed emperor were no longer so powerful.

Chen Chao looked at the dean, the emotion in his eyes was straightforward.

Just need an answer.

The dean smiled and said, "Of course we need evidence. If there is no evidence, how can we convict someone for killing someone? If there is no evidence, and all the stories in the world become true, then don't we just say whatever we want?"

At this point, everyone understood that the dean had chosen to side with Emperor Liang.

"But no matter what, this world should belong to the lineage of Prince Yiwen. Your Majesty, whether you take action against Prince Yiwen or not, you should still return the throne!"

The head of the Yang family spoke with a loud voice, and his determination could be felt.

This was originally the situation that the deposed emperor wanted. .🅆.🄲

Or righteousness.

There was a chorus of agreement.

These are all premeditated statements.

"I would like to ask your Excellency a question. Do you want a wise monarch who can do something for the benefit of all people in the world, or do you want an incompetent, mean and ungrateful monarch?"

It was Chen Chao who was still talking.

The head of the Yang family was startled. The courtiers had their own opinions on what kind of emperor the deposed emperor was. Naturally, they were not as good as the Emperor of Liang. But they had great righteousness, so how could they let go.

"No matter what, since the Emperor Lingzong is in the hands of Prince Yiwen, we should uphold the legacy of Emperor Lingzong!"

"Yes, we should follow Emperor Lingzong's will."

Facing these voices, Chen Chao sighed, "It's really ridiculous."

"Speaking of the bloodline of Emperor Lingzong, isn't it His Majesty? Why does the throne have to be passed on to him to fulfill the legacy of Emperor Lingzong? The legacy of Emperor Lingzong? What is it, do you know?"

"That means that my backbone will become stronger and stronger day by day. Whether facing Fangwai or facing the demon clan, I can always straighten my spine, so that my human race will not be bullied by the demon clan and will not repeat the humiliation of the past!"

"Didn't His Majesty implement this kind of legacy thoroughly? Isn't this kind of legacy the common legacy of the previous emperors of Daliang?!"

Chen Chao stared at those people and said indifferently, "As for the lineage of Prince Yiwen, if you have to return the government, why do you have to give it to him? Am I not the son of Prince Yiwen?"

After hearing this, everyone was silent. However, the deposed emperor was the first to react and let out a biting sneer, "You bastard, how dare you covet a big position? Are you worthy?!"

Chen Chao looked at the deposed emperor and said calmly, "I sometimes think you are stupid. Do you really think that you are the one in control of the world coming back? Are you really willing to be a puppet on strings?"

almost everyone

I know that if the deposed emperor can appear here, there must be Fang Wai's shadow behind him.

If the deposed emperor is really allowed to return to the throne, all of Daliang's efforts over the years will be in vain.

The courtiers are forcing the palace, and people outside may be hiding in secret.

This situation is already very troublesome.

"Are you worthy of saying anything to me?"

The deposed emperor sneered, "You are just the son of an illegitimate daughter, you..."

The deposed emperor's voice stopped abruptly.

"His Majesty?!"

Everyone was shocked.

In the midst of lightning and flint, the deposed emperor suddenly covered his throat, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth, quickly rendering him speechless.

A blade of light grazed his throat at some point.

No one in the court could carry a sword.

Except Chen Chao.

He has the right to carry a knife.

He was already very close to the deposed emperor, and since he was a martial artist in the other side realm, he could draw his sword in the blink of an eye.

Even though the deposed emperor has made some progress over the years, he is no match for the Chen Dynasty.

The deposed emperor slowly fell down with a look of disbelief.

Chen Chao's knife was bleeding.

He looked at his dying brother calmly.

"What are you doing?!"

The eyes of those courtiers who were concerned about the deposed emperor were astonishing. They never thought that Chen Chao would take action at this time and kill his brother, the former emperor.

"You didn't consider me your brother in the first place, but you still wanted to kill me. It doesn't seem to be a big deal if I kill you." Chen Chao lowered his head and looked at the deposed emperor who had become a corpse.

silence.

Deathly silence.

No one can say anything at this moment.

No one expected this to happen, but it did.

Everyone knew someone was going to die tonight.

Maybe it's the Emperor of Liang, maybe it's the deposed emperor.

But no one thought that the person who committed the murder was Chen Chao.

After a while, Chen Chao raised his head and looked at everyone, "Now if you want to talk about returning power, it seems that it can only be me."

I have thought about this scene for a long time. Xiao Gu did it in Immortal Dynasty, but he did not describe it directly, but the memories later. I have always regretted it. It’s not that I have any quirks, it’s just that I really want to Let me tell you, some things are based on family ties, that is right and wrong.
