Before Lin Mo could speak, Zhao Shu continued, "Minister Lin, you're finally back. I'm about to be driven mad by a bunch of scoundrels!"
"Oh? May I ask what it is?" Lin Mo asked him.
"A bunch of cowardly scoundrels, they insist that you, Minister Lin, were defeated by the enemy," Zhao Shu said without hesitation. "Not only that, they're forcing me to revoke your title and even demand that I arrest your entire family!"
Lin Mo already knew about this, but he was surprised that Zhao Shu would bring it up in this setting.
Then, he smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask which villains have been slandering you?"
Without a second thought, Zhao Shu pointed directly at a minister kneeling beside him and said, "Him, this one surnamed Liang!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Liang was so frightened that he almost lost his mind and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment. Please have mercy and forgive me!"

At this moment, Lin Mo declared loudly, "As long as Lin Mo is in the Great Xia Dynasty, those who offend the Great Xia Dynasty, no matter how far away, will be punished!"
"I assure you that you will have peaceful days ahead!"
These words were spoken with great passion and conviction, and the people were moved to unprecedented heights of excitement, cheering loudly.
"The Regent!"
"The Regent!"
Looking at the excited people, Lin Mo felt happy.
He turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes, we shouldn't be too merciful!"
Zhao Shu regained his composure and replied, "I understand. Guards, arrest all those who advised me to surrender to the enemy and throw them into the death row!"
