He immediately turned to face Princess Changle and said, "Regent! This man is spouting baseless accusations, framing a minister. I request that the regent apprehends him and punishes him for his crimes."

May I ask, General Liang, did you not meet with MarquisGuo Ziming of Gongchang, and Earl Li Sidao of Taining last night?"
At this time, except for Liang Heng, about thirty nobles and military officials, led by the Marquis of Gongchang and the Baron of Taining, had either turned pale or were sweating profusely.
