Finally, Gu Xin summarized: "So, you can't blame anyone else. The only one to blame is the Southern Lin royal family for their poor education of their children. Just because something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. You have to plan ahead and take precautions. As the ruler of a country, you need to teach others the art of being a monarch. If things continue like this, it's no wonder the Southern Lin royal family is destroyed!"
Lord Jiang was so angry that his face turned white.
Half of the reason he got to this position is because of his family connections.
His ancestors had all held high-ranking positions in Nanlin, and Nanlin did not select talents through the imperial examination system like the Great Zhou.
Most of the officials in the south inherited their positions from their ancestors.
Therefore, Lord Jiang and his family are absolutely loyal to the royal family of Nanlin. This loyalty is ingrained in their bones, and they would never have any thought of rebelling.
Most other civil officials were in the same situation as Lord Jiang.
Only military generals are not exempt.
If it weren't for the current General's Mansion, it wouldn't have the long history of the Jiang family and other civil official families. They relied on their martial skills to gradually rise to the position of Grand General.
After Gu Xin finished speaking, she ignored the envoys from Nanlin, went to the record official of the Dali Temple, reached out for his record, and began to read it.
It records the entire case in great detail, including the murderer, the method of the crime, the motive, and the whole process. Anyone who can read can understand it.
Gu Xin handed the file back to the recorder with satisfaction.
“General Lu, it’s your turn to do what’s next. My case is over!” Gu Xin walked up to Lu Zheng with ease.
“That would be very kind of trouble for Princess Xinxin. However, this matter must first be reported to the Emperor and also informed of Lord Gu. We can only wait here for further instructions for now,” Lu Zheng said with a helpless smile.
"Alright! I'll follow General Lu's arrangements!" Gu Xin said with a smile.
"Princess, Princess! General Lu, General Lu! Something terrible has happened!" At this moment, the constables from the Dali Temple rushed over and shouted in a loud voice.
His loud voice immediately brought the Southern Lin envoys back to their senses.
Everyone looked over.
"Reporting to the princess, General Lu, what about Prince Tian and Miss Lu...?" The constable was too terrified to speak.
"What's wrong with them?" Gu Xin asked, frowning.
Yes, she knew it in her heart.
She was initially wondering if she should stall for more time, but to her surprise, Lu Ni was quite fast.
"Your Highness, they, they..." The constable simply couldn't bring himself to say it.
Upon hearing that it was Prince Tian Tian and Miss Lu Si, the envoys from Nanlin breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing they could do. This morning, their princess from Nanlin had an accident, and they had been on tenterhooks ever since. Now, knowing about some things happening within Nanlin, their hearts were heavy.
Since Prince Tiantian of Dongzhe has also had an accident, that's good. Then they can say, "See? It's not just our princess who had an accident, even Prince Dongzhe had an accident. It's not that we didn't take good care of her, really!"
“Let’s go take a look!” Gu Xin decided immediately.
So, the group headed towards the room where Lu Ni and Prince Tian Tian were locked up. As for A Lü, A Yin, and Sang Ze, they were naturally being watched. General Mu didn't join in the fun either; he seemed to have something to ask Sang Ze.
Gu Xin didn't care too much about it. Anyway, since the clerk from the Ministry of Rites was here, she wasn't worried that General Mu and the others wouldn't know what the Great Zhou was saying.
