There will be no impact.
Only the officials who had close relations with Zhao Lin were anxious and kept writing letters to inquire, but Zhao Lin only replied that they should wait and not worry.
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Mingya said excitedly: "Zhao Lin is finished!"
Han Yuehua glanced at her and asked, "What did that rebellious son do again?"
Zhao Mingya said, "He actually arrested all the officials from the three coastal provinces."
Zhao Mingyu said, "Didn't this happen a few days ago? The Censorate impeached him, but nothing happened, didn't it?"
"This time is different," Zhao Mingya said excitedly. "This time he's offended all the officials in the three provinces. They've agreed to resign simultaneously on December 1st to express their protest against Zhao Lin!"
"Officials from three provinces resign at the same time?" Zhao Mingxiao widened his eyes.
"Yes." Zhao Mingya nodded.
hiss……
Zhao Mingxiao gasped and said, "Officials from three provinces, that must be hundreds of thousands, leaving their posts at the same time. This is a huge event. How will Zhao Lin deal with it?"
"Before, all the officials of the Jiujiang Governor's Office resigned en masse, and Zhao Lin had to ask Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye to send people to help him. Now, with officials from three provinces, where can he find so many people?"
Zhao Mingya gloated, "He's finished!"
Zhao Mingyu sighed, "He's gone too far. I heard he wasn't satisfied with just arresting the people from the three provincial governors' offices, but wanted to arrest all the officials from those three provinces, forcing them to resist. I wonder if the emperor will still protect him this time."
"How to protect him? There are hundreds of thousands of officials. If hundreds of thousands of disaster victims can make trouble, hundreds of thousands of officials will cause chaos in the entire Daqi. Zhao Lin is finished, absolutely finished, no one can save him!" said Zhao Mingxiao.
Han Yuehua snorted coldly: "This rebellious son, arrogant and domineering, has finally come to an end."
"Chen Han is still there. Do you want to call him back?" Zhao Mingya asked.
Han Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "This is a protest from leaving office, not a rebellion. There's no danger for now. Let's not call him back, lest Zhao Lin catch him again."
"That's right. Zhao Lin is so hateful, he has no mercy at all. Fortunately, Chen Han was cautious and nothing unexpected happened. If this incident gets out of hand, Zhao Lin will at least lose his job. Let's see how he can bully Chen Han." Zhao Mingya said.
…
"Zhao Lin actually forced all officials from three provinces to resign. He went too far."
Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince shook his head and sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I would have impeached him together with Qi Ziang last time. At least he could have kept his position."
"Zhao Lin is arrogant and domineering, and he looks down on everyone. He won't cry until he sees the coffin. If the prince really does that, he will not appreciate it, but blame the prince instead. Only when he is in desperate situation, he will know who is truly good to him." said the prince's tutor.
The prince nodded. "That's right. Let's ignore him. He definitely won't make it this time. He's useless now. How's the investigation going with the Xiong family?"
"What Zhao Chenhan said is indeed correct. The Xiong family has secretly colluded with Prince Yu, waiting to betray us at the critical moment..."
…
Prince Yu's Mansion.
Prince Yu said to Zhao Mingzhu, "Zhao Lin is doomed this time. Even father can't save him."
Zhao Mingzhu asked worriedly, "Is it that serious?"
Prince Yu sighed and said, "There are at least hundreds of thousands of officials in the three provinces. Zhao Lin has offended them all. Resigning in protest is the least he can do. If they collectively cause trouble, it will be a major event that will shock the world. In this case, only by dealing with Zhao Lin can their anger be quelled. If the emperor dares to protect him, the three provinces may even rebel. If the three provinces rebel..."
Zhao Mingzhu knew what the outcome would be without Prince Yu saying much.
The sporadic rebellions alone exhausted the imperial court.
If hundreds of thousands of officials from the three provinces rebelled together, the entire Daqi would collapse.
"So Zhao Lin is finished?" Zhao Mingzhu said.
Prince Yu nodded and said, "It's over. No one can save him."
“What a pity.”
Zhao Mingzhu was silent for a moment, then said, "But he is my brother after all. If possible, please save his life, Your Highness."
Prince Yu shook his head. "It's difficult! If it really comes to that, I'm afraid the only way to appease the anger of the officials of the three provinces is to kill Zhao Lin."
"What should I do?" Zhao Mingzhu murmured.
