He was rendered speechless by Xiao Jingyi's combination of force and gentle persuasion.
He didn't really know the truth, but he used the excuse of the deaths of Prince Qi and the Lin family to execute them.
He cannot deny this.
Perhaps his conscience was awakened, or perhaps he knew that all was lost, Emperor Liang sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time before looking at Xiao Jingyi and saying, "Jingyi, may I... have a talk with him?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi did not agree, but instead turned to look at Lin Shu.
After seeing him nod, she replied, "Okay."
After saying that, Xiao Jingyi patted Mei Changsu on the shoulder: "The rest is up to you."
"it is good."
Mei Changsu nodded, and Xiao Jingyi then walked out.
As soon as he went out, everyone turned to look at him, their eyes full of questions.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi said, "Ministers, please do not panic. Changsu is inside chatting with the Emperor. As for the outcome, you will know after they finish their conversation."
“Jingyi, is it inappropriate to let Mei Changsu negotiate? After all, he is just a commoner in the martial arts world.”
At this moment, Prince Jing saw Xiao Jingyi come out and whispered to him.
Poor water buffalo, even though Xiao Jingyi had already given him the answer.
Even after so much time has passed, he still hasn't recognized Mei Changsu's identity.
Hearing his words, Xiao Jingyi covered his forehead speechlessly: "My dear sixth brother, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Chang Su is the most suitable person to talk about this matter."
"Because he is Lin Shu."
"Oh, Lin Shu."
Prince Jing subconsciously replied, but then he realized something was wrong and stared wide-eyed at Xiao Jingyi: "What, he's Lin Shu!?"
His voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of all the ministers present.
The name Lin Shu may be unfamiliar to many, but for many others it is a name that is deeply missed.
For example, Yan Hou, Prince Ji, Princess Nihuang, Prince Jing, Liu Cheng, and others, upon hearing this name...
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy.
Lin Shu!
Mei Changsu is Lin Shu!
However, everyone knew what needed to be done most right now, so they didn't ask too many questions, but they decided in their hearts that after this matter was over, they would have a proper meeting with Lin Shu.
Seeing their expressions, Xiao Jingyi smiled faintly.
Perhaps in the original novel, Lord Yan, Prince Ji, Liu Cheng, and others guessed Mei Changsu's true identity, but since it wasn't explicitly stated, the audience had to guess for themselves.
But for them, the fact that Mei Changsu was actually Lin Shu made up for some of their regrets.
And so, the group waited for about an hour.
Mei Changsu walked out from inside, his face pale.
Although he felt several eager gazes at him, Mei Changsu was somewhat puzzled, but he still nodded to Xiao Jingyi.
This means he has broken through Emperor Liang's psychological defenses.
Sure enough, a moment later, Gao Zhan came out with an imperial edict concerning Emperor Liang.
Retrial of the Chi Yan case!
As soon as Emperor Liang agreed, the entire court proclaimed his wisdom and immediately formed a special investigation team to begin investigating the old case of the Chiyan Army.
This investigation took more than half a month.
Fortunately, Xie Yu was there, and he was able to fill in the gaps in the evidence and testimonies from many places.
During this period, Mei Changsu was visited by many people.
It wasn't until later that he learned that Xiao Jingyi had exposed his identity.
In retaliation, Mei Changsu even had someone deliver a pot of very bitter tea to him.
However, Mei Changsu's smile never stopped during this time.
Perhaps it was because he reunited with many old friends and seniors, or perhaps it was because the long-awaited case of Blazing Flame was finally overturned and reopened.
"Your Highness, this is the complete file regarding the Chiyan case."
One day, Cai Quan came to Xiao Jingyi with a stack of files and respectfully handed them to him.
"Finished the investigation?"
Xiao Jingyi put down his brush and asked him.
Cai Quan nodded: "Your Highness, the investigation has been completed. The case involving the Crown Prince and the Lin family back then was indeed a frame-up, and they are innocent."
"it is good."
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to be able to handle this case."
Cai Quan replied.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi didn't say anything more. He stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and left first.
His destination this time was the royal palace.
Then, led by Gao Zhan, Xiao Jingyi arrived at the Imperial Study.
He walked up to Emperor Liang, who was holding the dossier, bowed and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."
"You've arrived."
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's voice, Emperor Liang spoke without looking up, then gestured for him to sit opposite him.
"I will play the black pieces, and you will play the white pieces."
Pointing to the unfinished game on the chessboard, Emperor Liang spoke calmly.
More than half a month has passed since the last incident, and Emperor Liang's anger has subsided, so he did not show any displeasure towards Xiao Jingyi.
During this period, Emperor Liang also reflected a lot and became much more peaceful.
During this period, the two even met frequently and chatted about all sorts of things.
Emperor Liang placed a piece (Li Hao Zhao) on the board and asked, "Has the case been solved?"
"Yes, it has been investigated."
Xiao Jingyi replied, and then placed a piece on the board.
"This time, I didn't expect you to act so decisively. You know, I thought you would wait a while."
"Time waits for no one. If Father Emperor realizes this and kills Xie Yu ahead of time, it will be troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang rolled his eyes at Xiao Jingyi and snorted coldly: "Even if I kill him, you have other ways. With that confession, I am now your prey."
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi did not answer, because what Emperor Liang said was indeed correct.
However, there is one more thing: he will not let Xie Yu die.
At least until he comes into play.
"I have failed this time, but I have a request that I hope you will grant."
"Father, please speak."
"Xie Yu cannot live."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi glanced at Emperor Liang.
He knew that this was because Emperor Liang was holding a grudge against Xie Yu for coming out to file a complaint.
Emperor Liang noticed his gaze and immediately replied, "What, is this so hard to agree to? With your abilities, even without pardoning Xie Yu to appease those veteran officials, you could still subdue him..."
Before Emperor Liang could finish speaking, Xiao Jingyi said, "Father, the Chiyan case was overturned during your tenure."
"How you punish them, who you kill, it's all up to you."
After speaking, Xiao Jingyi looked up at Emperor Liang and smiled faintly, "Father, don't you think so?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang was taken aback, but then recovered and said, "That's true. I will issue an edict of self-reproach, abdicate, and hand over the throne to you."
"Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission."

Looking at Xiao Jingyi, Emperor Liang sighed deeply.
Perhaps they were marveling at his low profile, or perhaps they were lamenting how quickly time had passed, how much the boy from back then had grown up.
He sighed, "Alas."
Emperor Liang then said nothing more and continued playing chess with Xiao Jingyi.
As the rain continued, he also said, "There are many powerful and influential people in Binzhou. They are all old ministers who fought alongside me to conquer the country. Although they don't commit major crimes, they are constantly involved in minor ones."
"In the future, you can win over some people and suppress others."
"Also, the Jianghu forces in Langzhou are numerous and their behavior is quite chivalrous. However, you have Lin Shu, and he has the Jiangzuo Alliance to keep him in check, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
“Qingzhou is the richest place. Some officials there are very well-fed. If they don’t have money, they can find a few excuses to kill a few.”
"Furthermore, there's the southern border, where we've been locked in a stalemate with Southern Chu for years. Although Great Liang has won every time, the people are barely scraping by..."
What Emperor Liang said was all about the current situation in the Great Liang.
In his view, since Xiao Jingyi was going to take over, he should have some understanding of the current Liang Dynasty.
Xiao Jingyi listened to Emperor Liang's words and silently kept them in mind.
Although he had some intelligence on various parts of Daliang, he had not yet figured out the key points, such as who should be killed and who should be spared.
Emperor Liang spoke on and on for about an hour, just as the two men finished their game of chess.
Looking at the chessboard, Emperor Liang smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, I won, by one move."
It seems that in Emperor Liang's view, being able to defeat Xiao Jingyi by one move was enough to make him happy for a long time.
However, he wasn't stupid. Knowing that Xiao Jingyi had held back, he immediately looked at him and said, "Speak, you let me win, there must be something you want to say, right?"
"Since I am in a good mood now, I may agree to your request."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi bowed and said, "Father's chess skills are superb. It is not something that I can simply give way to. However, there is something I really need to tell Father."
"You said."
Emperor Liang picked up a teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.
"After I ascend the throne, I will exonerate the Hua tribe."
"That's all, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Xiao Jingyi slipped away, running incredibly fast.
why?
because.
"boom!"
"You unfilial son, come back to me!"
"Are you trying to ruin my reputation?"
Xiao Jingyi had just stepped out of the palace when he heard Emperor Liang smashing a teacup and roaring angrily.
Seeing this, he turned his head and patted his chest, saying, "Thanks for running so fast."
Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if Xiao Jingyi hadn't run away; if he had just stood there, Emperor Liang wouldn't have dared to do anything to him.
Putting everything else aside, the entire palace is now filled with his people.
But he had to give Emperor Liang an outlet for his anger.
Besides, the other person has already stepped down, so what's wrong with giving them a way out?
After all, his exoneration of the Hua tribe was undoubtedly another slap in the face for Emperor Liang.
