The Nation Is on the Brink of Collapse, and the Empress Accuses Me of Throwing the World into Chaos

In the eighth year of the Shenlong era, the Empress favored the treacherous Wei Changsheng, plunging the realm into chaos!

That same year, the northern army of Liaozhou was crushed by the barbarians. Liaozhou fell, and the barbarian army marched straight for the capital!

In the south, a severe drought left the land overrun with refugees. Rebel forces sprang up everywhere and carved out their own territories. The Wu Dynasty teetered on the brink of collapse!

At that moment, the Empress suddenly came to her senses and realized Wei Changsheng had deceived her all these years!

“Wei Changsheng, you built a faction for your own gain and wielded power over the entire court. Your crimes are unforgivable!”

“Wei Changsheng, the realm is starving, yet you embezzled the relief grain. Have you forgotten the people’s suffering?”

But at the public trial, an astrologer from the Imperial Observatory extracted Wei Changsheng’s memories and uncovered a side of the story no one knew!

Wei Changsheng had indeed seized the relief grain, but he had exchanged a million dan of it for ten million dan of husks and brown rice, then distributed it to the people throughout the realm.

Wei Changsheng had wielded power over the entire court and built a faction for his own gain, yet he had used the money he accumulated over the years to replenish the national treasury and keep the entire Wu Dynasty alive!

When the truth came out, countless people were in an uproar, and the Empress was utterly stunned!
