Your scumbag application has been returned

"Your Majesty, General Xiao Chen has been stationed at the border since he was young and has made great military achievements. How could he collude with the enemy country? Your Highness the Crown Prince is trying to discredit General Xiao Chen with just his mouth."

"Your Majesty, you have seen all of this. General Chen, General Chen, General Chen Jr., and all the good men of the Chen family who died on the battlefield. Are they all fake?"

"Your Majesty, General Chen would not have the intention to collude with anyone. I beg Your Majesty to understand this."

"Your Majesty, please tell me clearly!"

Almost most of the people began to plead for Chen Yuenian. Most of the remaining ones were from the Prince's Party and the Nanzhongze Party. They hoped that Chen Yuenian would fall. Some others chose to protect themselves. They did not have much say in the court and it was easy for them to be caught between the two.

The voices of the ministers echoed throughout the Purple Palace, and even the chief eunuch couldn't help but look at Chen Yuenian in surprise.

Emperor Liang was initially unable to bear their noise, which was like the noise in a vegetable market. Why did they work together now? Are they trying to piss him off to death? If he dared to touch Chen Yuenian today, he would not even be able to leave the Purple Palace.

Chen Yuenian, a prince, is really a good person. However, he is not as successful as theirs as an emperor. No one is on his side. People who don’t know would think that the world belongs to the Chen family.

Chen Yuechu slowly walked to Chen Yuenian's side and knelt down. His meaning was already very clear, no further words were needed: "Your Majesty, please understand and clear the name of the Chen family."

Emperor Liang was speechless. He just thought that Chen Yuechu would stand on his side, but he forgot that Chen Yuechu was Chen Yuenian's brother. Even if his bones were broken, his tendons were still connected. His temples were throbbing. "Everyone, get up! Get up! I am not blind. Don't I even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? The Chen family will not betray me."

Chen Yuenian knew when to stop and did not embarrass Emperor Liang at all. He was as polite as he could be and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The prince was stunned by the sound that resounded through the dome. How could this be possible? Chen Yuenian just said a few pitiful words, stirred up people's hearts, and it would be over?

It was completely different from what he had imagined. Shouldn't Chen Yuenian be held accountable first? Everyone in the government and the country knew how arrogant Chen Yuenian was.

Why does he say that? It's useless. He says it's just quibbling.

It's not right to treat them differently like this. How can a small general like Chen Yuenian compare to him, the crown prince?

The prince was so conceited that he couldn't figure it out at all.

Chen Yuenian stood up and looked at the prince smugly, "You little guy, you are not as important as me."

Your father doesn't like me, so you have to endure it. Your father doesn't like you and has found a handle to use against him, so you just wait to be deposed.

"Your Highness, I dare to guarantee with my life that I will not do anything that is a traitor to the country. Do you dare to guarantee it with your life? Do you dare to admit it? Do you think that the evidence is in front of you, and as long as you don't admit it, you have never done it? God is watching what you do. Even if you are the only one who knows about it, there are gods above you. If you have not done it, you will naturally not be slandered. If you have done it, you can't escape even if you hide at the ends of the earth. Your Highness, you have been well-read in the books of sages since you were young, so you must know the principle of deceiving yourself. I am just a warrior, I only know how to wield a sword, but I also understand this principle. If Your Highness does not understand, I can teach you."

Chen Yuenian not only wants to force the prince into a corner, but also wants to slap him in the face. There is a grand master who teaches the prince. The prince is indeed much better than Emperor Liang in every aspect, but the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. They have the same blood flowing in their bodies, and this fact cannot be changed. It can only be said that the prince is better at hiding it, but that is only a little bit.

Once his mask is taken off, nothing will be hidden.

The prince was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He originally wanted to throw a basin of dirty water on Chen Yuenian as well. The crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy was much more serious than his. Not only did they not investigate Chen Yuenian indignantly, but they also spoke well of Chen Yuenian and pleaded for him. Now Chen Yuenian had outwitted him and he was speechless.

Those people he raised were like dead people. They still hadn't come out to express their opinions until now, and let Chen Yuenian mock him. If he overreacted, Chen Yuenian would say he was guilty.

Chen Yuechu was still kneeling, and he had picked up all the previous petitions. He pointed the finger at the prince, and said with conviction, "Since His Royal Highness said he was wronged, then let all the adults judge the case together. Was it Lord Ye who wronged His Royal Highness, or was it His Royal Highness's ambition that could no longer be hidden. His Majesty is in his prime, diligent, down-to-earth, hardworking, devoted, and loves the people, but His Royal Highness can't help it and wants to drive His Majesty off his throne. Does Your Royal Highness think that His Majesty can live a hundred years and have great fortune, so His Royal Highness can't wait until the time of succession?"

"You are the crown prince. As long as you don't make a big mistake, His Majesty has no reason to depose you. When you are capable enough to take over the heavy burden on His Majesty's shoulders, His Majesty will naturally hand it over to you. His Majesty loves his people, and you are also his people, but you can't see the good of His Majesty at all. You only care about your own selfish desires and find fault with His Majesty. But you forget that His Majesty is not only the master of this world, but also your father. His Majesty is not someone who cannot listen to advice. If you think His Majesty has done something wrong, you can point it out instead of thinking about replacing him."

"No one is perfect. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and will make mistakes as well. The role of us ministers is to give advice and help Your Majesty make the right decisions when Your Majesty is confused. Otherwise, Your Majesty would just keep us as decorations. If everyone thinks like Your Highness, and wants to replace you as soon as you make a mistake, then if Your Highness does not do well, will he have no chance to correct his mistakes? Let His Majesty directly dismiss you and choose a new crown prince."

"Your Highness is so disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, untrustworthy, unwise, dishonest, and shameless. How can you take on such a great responsibility? It is in vain that His Majesty has trusted you again and again, entrusted you with important tasks, and trained your abilities. Are you worthy of His Majesty's good intentions for you? Doesn't your conscience hurt? His Majesty is facing the whole world and tens of millions of people. He reviews memorials until late at night every day, worrying about the country and the people. He often eats and sleeps poorly because of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Your Highness has ideas but no strength. Even if His Majesty passes the throne to you, can you guarantee that you can do as well as His Majesty? The throne is not a child's play, and letting you manage your Liang family's country is not a childhood game of playing house. Because His Majesty trusts you, he gets angry about what you do, but not only do you not reflect on it, you also make specious arguments and confuse right and wrong, which really chills His Majesty's heart."

The petition clearly recorded the flow of every sum of money. The largest amount was the soldiers the prince raised in the south, and most of the rest were personal connections between ministers, as well as some letters. The contents of the letters were all about the prince's dissatisfaction with Emperor Liang and some fantasies about what it would be like after he ascended the throne.

Originally, these letters were to be burned, but the bandit leader was too conceited and thought they would never be discovered, so he secretly hid them and read them for fun.

It's so strange that his son looks down on his father. When the prince succeeds to the throne, he will be a meritorious minister. The prince promised that he would not lose any benefits. He didn't expect that it would become evidence to overthrow the prince.

All we can say is that the prince's umbrella is not big enough to protect them, or that the prince and the grand tutor were too confident, and in the end they failed to accomplish anything and instead caused more trouble than success.

Chen Yuenian got goosebumps when he heard this. Chen Yuechu was indeed the most powerful lackey around Emperor Liang, and was appointed Prime Minister at a young age. Such overflowing words of praise, and words that flattered one and criticized the other, which were impossible to refuse, could only be said by Chen Yuechu with such passion and emotion, and without any sense of incongruity, and they could be forced on one person.

Nan Zhongze was about to bite his teeth off. Damn Chen Yuechu, what else could he do except flattery? Why didn't these words come out of his mouth? He hated him so much.

Emperor Liang was almost embarrassed by the praise, and he suppressed the smile on his face, waved his hand and said in a serious manner: "Yuyue, that's enough, I know everything, just let Ye Huaan speak."

The chief eunuch then quietly flattered Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, this Chen Xiang is really loyal to you. Your Majesty's kindness is seen by Chen Xiang, which proves that you did not make a mistake in choosing him."

Emperor Liang pretended to be angry: "Don't I know? Why do you need me to tell you?"

The chief eunuch smiled. Having served the emperor for many years, he still didn't know what Emperor Liang liked to hear.

Chen Yuechu just stood up, walked past the prince in a haughty manner, and personally handed out the petitions in his hand, warning him sternly: "If any of these petitions are damaged in the slightest, you will be executed immediately!"

Those who had wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the evidence suddenly stopped and had no intention of doing so.

Chen Yuenian's sword was already half an inch out of its sheath. He was one of the few generals allowed to carry a sword into the Purple Palace, under the pretext of protecting the safety of His Majesty.

After receiving the hint, Ye Huaan immediately started to narrate from the very beginning, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to investigate this matter. When I was counting the stolen goods in the warehouse, I accidentally discovered a secret passage. I led people to explore the secret passage, which led directly to the Central Street. As everyone knows, the East Palace was built on the Central Street."

"This matter is of great importance. I dare not make any rash conclusions. I led my men back along the secret passage, but found that the entrance to the secret passage in Fengyang County had been filled up. When I dug it out, all the people I sent to guard it were dead, with their heads separated from their bodies. They died miserably. The total number of deaths was 47."

"I found that the mud used to fill the road was all new mud, so I guessed that it was filled shortly after I left. If they wanted to escape, they couldn't get far. I ordered people to focus on checking the official road and not miss any possibility. Finally, they were found in a valley in the mountain village."

"The valley is their secret base. After they were arrested, I found the relevant account books and the correspondence between them and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also gave full authority to one of the leaders to raise troops in the south. I sent someone to check it out urgently. He rushed back to Shengdu at 3 pm this morning and confirmed to me that the Crown Prince raised troops. He has 200,000 private soldiers. Your Majesty should know that General Chen only has 100,000 soldiers."
