I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Emperor Wu of Liang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Change your clothes and go to court!"

Yu Huaqian was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the dragon robe on the table and helped Emperor Wu of Liang put it on with swift hands and feet.

After learning that Emperor Wu of Liang was fine last night, he immediately sent someone to notify the people in the Weaving Bureau to hurry up and make the dragon robe.

This dragon robe was made by the Weaving Department overnight and was just delivered this morning.

The workmanship of this dragon robe that was made in a hurry was definitely not as good as the one that took several months to make, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

We can’t let Emperor Wu of Liang go to court in his pajamas again.

If that were the case, Emperor Wu of Liang would have chopped off his head.

In the past, the entire palace was robbed and there was no way to rush the production.

Although the palace is not fully equipped now, Emperor Wu of Liang's supplies are fully stocked. Who would dare to offend Emperor Wu of Liang at this time?

Emperor Wu of Liang, wearing a crown with twelve tassels on his head, stood on the Golden Throne Hall and glanced sullenly at the civil and military officials kneeling below.

The first time he wore the Twelve Crowns with a bare head, he felt like they were going to fall off.

It would be worse if you don't wear it, but wearing it can also cover up your bald head.

Twelve crowns

After all the civil and military officials stood up, no one dared to look directly at Emperor Wu of Liang.

For a while, no one noticed anything unusual about Emperor Wu of Liang.

It was not until the Minister of Revenue Chai Yuanyu reported the taxes currently collected in the national treasury that he looked up at Emperor Wu of Liang.

This look scared Chai Yuanyu so much that his eyeballs stood up.

He raised his finger and pointed at Emperor Wu of Liang, and screamed in fear.

"How dare you! Who dares to impersonate the emperor? Come quickly! Help!"

When Chai Yuanyu shouted this, all the court officials immediately looked over.

Seeing this, all the ministers were dumbfounded.

They knelt for a long time, wondering who this person was and how could there be such a dark person?

All of a sudden, the ministers started to talk noisily, quack-quack-quack, like ducks in a fried pot.

Emperor Wu of Liang stared at the screaming Chai Yuanyu, and was so angry that veins popped out on his neck.

"How dare you! How dare you! Open your dog eyes and see clearly who dares to pretend to be me!"

You see, he knew this would happen. These ministers who have never seen the world are such good-for-nothings.

Especially the old thief Chai Yuanyu, who has always been very steady. But today he was the first to jump up and down. He really misjudged this old thief and thought he was not up to the task.

After Emperor Wu of Liang's roar, the noisy court suddenly became quiet.

Hearing the familiar curse, the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

What was Emperor Wu of Liang trying to do? Why did he paint his head so black? Is there any explanation?

Could it be that the idea came from the Imperial Observatory?

Before the morning court session, Eunuch Yu called away Ma Ximing, the official historian of the Imperial Observatory, and he has not returned yet.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned towards the people from the Imperial Observatory intentionally or unintentionally.

Although the official historian is no longer here, the two deputy historians of the Imperial Observatory are still here. They should know something.

The people at the Imperial Observatory were also confused because Ma Ximing didn't tell them anything when he left.

After Chai Yuanyu finished shouting, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

He suddenly looked up and saw a black head. He was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and those words came out of his mouth.

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

He has always been cautious and never taken the lead, but today he did it for the first time.

When Chai Yuanyu heard the familiar voice of Emperor Wu of Liang again, his knees softened and he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"Your Majesty, I have been up for several nights, busy filling the treasury, which has caused my eyesight to become blurry. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Chai Yuanyu's lips were trembling and he could hardly speak clearly, his face was pale.

Those ministers who had just been pointing fingers all knelt down at once.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Wei Jianxiong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, knelt on the ground, raised his head slightly and glanced at Emperor Wu of Liang again.

Just at this moment Emperor Wu of Liang opened his mouth to speak. Against the backdrop of his dark face, his teeth looked snow-white, and his eyes staring at the courtiers showed a lot of white in them, which was inexplicably funny.

Wei Jianxiong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In the quiet court, the laughter was particularly obvious.

Several ministers with low sense of humor bit their back teeth desperately to hold back their laughter, their bodies almost shaking like sieves.

When Emperor Wu of Liang heard Wei Jianxiong's sneer, he was furious.

His gaze moved from Chai Yuanyu to Wei Jianxiong, his eyes full of murderous intent.

The national treasury is empty, and Chai Yuanyu is still needed to find a way to fill it up. We cannot target him for the time being.

As for Wei Jianxiong...

"Wei Jianxiong, is it funny?"

Emperor Wu of Liang stared at Wei Jianxiong and asked in a cold voice.

Wei Jianxiong trembled all over, and his palms were full of sweat.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant---your humble servant----"

"Ah!"

Emperor Wu of Liang sneered and said loudly,

"Someone, take Wei Jianxiong away and shave his head."

Emperor Wu of Liang thought that his ministers were laughing at his bald head, but in fact they were laughing at his dark face.

He was wearing a crown with twelve tassels, but the ministers had not yet seen his bald head.

Wei Jianxiong was scared half to death. When he heard that he was not going to be dragged away and beheaded but just have his head shaved, he did not even dare to beg for mercy. He was dragged outside the Golden Palace by the guards and had his hair shaved on the spot.

Then Emperor Wu of Liang pointed out the ministers he disliked one by one, dragged them out and shaved their heads.

Those who were laughing secretly were also named, and soon there were more than ten bald heads in the court.

The light in the ministers' eyes disappeared instantly. They couldn't laugh at all, and no one dared to laugh anymore.

Our bodies and hair are given by our parents. They come to court in good health, but go back bald. It's really heartbreaking.

They couldn't understand why the emperor shaved their heads...

Emperor Wu of Liang glanced at his ministers with anger on his face. When he saw the white bald heads, his anger subsided a little.

Then he grabbed the sanitary napkin in Yu Huaqian's hand and threw it heavily off the throne.

With a "pop" sound, a thick sanitary napkin with a fishy smell fell in front of the ministers.

The ministers raised their heads slightly and looked at the things on the ground, not knowing what Emperor Wu of Liang meant.

Emperor Wu of Liang frowned and angrily said,

"The hemostatic products that the Xiao family developed privately were so effective, but they were not submitted to the court."

"The whole world belongs to the king. The Xiao family made a good thing and didn't give it to the national army. Instead, they kept it for their own private use. If I hadn't discovered it early, wouldn't the Xiao family be rebellious?"

"Do you still think that I have wronged the Xiao family?"

The capital city had been robbed one after another, and coupled with the recent drought in various parts of the country, many court officials had said behind his back that it was because he had wrongly accused the Xiao family that these disasters had occurred.

Of course he knew that these ministers were dissatisfied, but they were all cowardly.

When he ordered the Xiao family to be dealt with, no one dared to come and beg for mercy. Everyone hid away very quickly.

Now that there are strange signs in the sky, you want to put the blame on him, but it’s impossible.

He is the emperor, the Son of Heaven, how could he be wrong?

The Xiao family had long harbored rebellious intentions, so it was only natural for him to eliminate the Xiao family.

When the ministers heard this, they all looked up at the mass of dried blood on the ground.

Everyone stared at each other with eyes wide open in horror and shock.

Then all the civil and military officials kowtowed and shouted, "I dare not... Your Majesty is wise..."

How dare they think that the emperor was wrongly accusing people?

It's just that the major families in the capital were robbed so thoroughly, and no trace of the thieves could be found, which made some people wonder if it was a divine punishment caused by the Xiao family's affairs.
