Everyone's heart was pounding.
Zhao Lin is lying in public.
Yu Youning was so shocked that his mouth trembled: "You, you, you dare?"
Zhao Lin glanced at Yu Youning and said, "Take him away."
The soldiers took Yu Youning away.
Fu Wenqi looked at Zhao Lin with disappointment. "You are too reckless and don't know your place. Even if His Majesty indulges you, he won't let you stay this time."
Zhao Lin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I'm not a fool like Yu Youning. How could I not know the consequences?"
Fu Wenqi asked, "Since you know the consequences, why do you still do this?"
"Of course, because I'm sure I'm fine." Zhao Lin said.
Fu Wenqi was stunned and frowned tightly: "You arrested the imperial envoy without authorization, and two imperial envoys at that. Can you be safe?"
Zhao Lin said: "Just wait."
Three days later.
The news that Yu Youning colluded with the remnants of the rebels to assassinate Zhao Lin but was shot to death by Zhao Lin reached the capital.
There was an uproar.
"Yu Youning is an imperial envoy! An imperial envoy! Would he collude with the rebels to assassinate Zhao Lin?"
"Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!"
"Your Majesty, I request that Zhao Lin be punished for the murder of the imperial envoy!"
In the court, a large number of important officials knelt down and condemned Zhao Lin.
Prince Yu was so angry that his face turned pale.
Zhao Lin is too arrogant and too rampant.
They thought of various ways that Zhao Lin could deal with it.
There are all kinds of methods, including coercion, inducement, frame-up and so on.
The only thing I didn't expect was that Zhao Lin was so bold as to kill Yu Youning.
Prince Yu finally couldn't help himself and came out, kneeling down and said, "Father, I beg your permission to serve as the imperial envoy again to investigate Zhao Lin."
“We must check!”
"We must check!"
"If they can kill the imperial envoy today, they will dare to come to the imperial city to kill him tomorrow."
"This is deceiving the emperor and rebelling!"
"Zhao Lin must be killed!"
The ministers spoke one after another.
The prince's party and the eunuch's party kept their mouths shut.
This matter of Zhao Lin has caused too much trouble.
None of them dared to speak, for fear of being implicated.
But not only did they not say anything, Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye also stood there motionless, looking calm and composed, as if they hadn't heard anything, which was really strange.
"Fu Chengwang!"
Li Chengqian was furious and said, "Look at what your good son-in-law has done!"
Fu Chengwang nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing. I am proud to have such a son-in-law."
"Are you proud?" Li Chengqian's nose was crooked with anger. "Your Majesty, you have also heard that Fu Chengwang and Zhao Lin are colluding. I request that Fu Chengwang be punished."
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Most of the ministers knelt down and asked Emperor Chengping to punish them.
Emperor Chengping angrily asked, "What crime is this? What crime has Fu Aiqing committed?"
Li Chengqian said: "Fu Chengwang colluded with Zhao Lin and plotted to murder the imperial envoy..."
"Humph, Yu Youning deserves to die. He actually colluded with the remnants of the rebels to assassinate Zhao Lin." Emperor Chengping said.
ah?
All the ministers were stunned.
Emperor Chengping also believed such an obvious lie?
Emperor Chengping said, "Don't think I don't know. The former Jiujiang Governor Feng Siyuan colluded with the rebel leader Ma Ershui. No, Ma Ershui is his younger brother. One of them is an official, the other a bandit. They have committed many evil deeds."
"The officials of the former Jiujiang Governor's Office, high and low, colluded with Feng Siyuan, oppressing the people and committing all sorts of evil. When Zhao Lin took office, instead of colluding with them, they collectively resigned their posts to threaten Zhao Lin. They truly deserve death!"
"Imperial Envoy Liu Zhengyan not only failed to investigate the case after arriving in Jiujiang, but instead conspired with corrupt officials to slander Zhao Lin. He deserves death!"
"As an imperial envoy, Yu Youning not only failed to restore order and clear Zhao Lin's name, but instead colluded with the remnants of the rebels, attempting to assassinate Zhao Lin and save those corrupt officials. He deserves death!"
"If Yu Youning wasn't already dead, I would have wanted to wipe out his entire family!"
Every word Emperor Chengping said was like a heavy hammer, hitting the ministers' heads hard, making their heads buzz.
What kind of magic potion did Zhao Lin give to the emperor to make him trust Zhao Lin so much?
Yu Youning colluded with the remnants of the rebels to assassinate Zhao Lin?
Only a fool would believe that!
Murdering an imperial envoy is a rebellion against the emperor.
Not only did the emperor not punish Zhao Lin, but he also praised him highly.
Even a fool wouldn't believe that there's nothing shameful about these two py transactions.
The Crown Prince was surprised. He hadn't expected Zhao Lin to turn the tables like this. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Father is right. Zhao Lin is a man of great loyalty to the emperor and his country. How could he have done something like murdering the imperial envoy? It was definitely Yu Youning who first murdered him. Zhao Lin was forced to kill Yu Youning to protect himself. If anyone is to punish anyone, they should first punish Prince Yu for the crime of improper recommendation."
Prince Yu was shocked and thought to himself that something bad had happened.
As expected, Emperor Chengping looked at Prince Yu with dissatisfaction: "You recommended a good candidate. If you had let Li Aiqing go, how could this situation have happened? I punish you with confinement for a month and reflect on your mistakes."
"Your son obeys your order."
Prince Yu had no choice but to accept the order.
"Zhao Lin is a loyal minister, a truly loyal minister. Anyone who dares to accuse him of rebellion is a traitor."
Emperor Chengping threatened again and said, "Dismiss the court!"
Everyone was confused.
"What did Zhao Lin do to make the emperor trust him so much?" Xiao Weilun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, murmured.
Everyone looked at Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye.
The two shook their heads at the same time: "Don't ask us, we don't know either."
Then Fu Chengwang said, "Your Majesty must have seen Zhao Lin's loyalty, so he trusts him so much. As long as you all work loyally, His Majesty will trust you as much as he trusts Zhao Lin."
Pooh!
