As soon as this only outsider left, the atmosphere in the front hall suddenly became gloomy.
"The Emperor truly favors Concubine Rong. He actually dismissed Zhao Lin from office and imprisoned him." Zhao Mingxiao sighed, "What a shame! He could have been Chen Han's external support. With one of them in the local area and the other in the central government, they could have assisted Chen Han in his rise to prominence."
Zhao Mingya said disdainfully, "What's so regrettable? It would be better if he died now. Otherwise, with him like this, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause and implicate us."
"Okay, stop talking." Zhao Mingyu said.
Zhao Chenhan asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Han Yuehua shook her head: "It's okay."
Zhao Chenhan continued, "Are you worried about big brother?"
Han Yuehua immediately denied it: "Would I worry about that rebellious son? I'm worried that he won't die."
Zhao Chenhan sighed, "Mom is soft-hearted but tough-mouthed. So, I'll go visit my eldest brother tomorrow to see what's going on so I can arrange a rescue."
"Don't go!" Han Yuehua said sternly.
Zhao Chenhan said: "Okay, okay, we won't go."
Han Yuehua snorted coldly, "That rebellious son is making things difficult for us everywhere, with no regard for family affection at all. You are not allowed to be cautious, do you hear me? Anyone who dares to help him, I will drive him out of the house."
"Yes, Mom!" Zhao Mingxiao and the others agreed together.
"I'm tired, you guys can talk to yourselves."
Han Yuehua stood up and left with the help of the nanny.
The remaining siblings looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zhao Mingyu said, "No matter what Zhao Lin is like, he is still our brother. Chen Han will go to the prison tomorrow to visit him and see what he has to say."
Zhao Mingya complained, "What's there to visit? They don't even acknowledge us, so why are we rushing over?"
Zhao Mingxiao said, "At least we can show our appreciation. If Zhao Lin's identity is revealed later, no one will be able to say anything."
Zhao Chenhan said, "Don't worry, sisters. I'll go tomorrow."
He sneered in his heart.
These bitches haven't forgotten Zhao Lin yet.
visit?
Of course I will go, but not to visit, but to laugh at.
No matter how powerful you, Zhao Lin, are, you still fell into my hands, didn't you?
the next day.
Early morning.
The atmosphere is weird.
Many people looked at the line of civil servants.
It was strange that there were suddenly two people missing, and they were the top ranked people.
"What happened to Zhao Lin? Why did Your Majesty punish him so severely?"
"He's a bitch. He thinks being a governor is a big deal, but he forgets that his position was given by His Majesty, and His Majesty can take it back."
"That's not important. What's important is what mistake did he make to be dismissed from office and imprisoned?"
"Sir Wang, is this even necessary? No matter what offense he committed, if Your Majesty deems it appropriate, then he must be punished accordingly."
"That's right. Although this boy has talent and ability, his character is not good. After arriving in Jiujiang, he bullied officials and robbed their property. He should have been punished long ago."
"Are you all missing the point? Zhao Lin is in prison, and the positions of Governor-General of Beijiang and Commander-in-Chief of the Qingzhou Army are vacant. Who should take over?"
"It goes without saying that the competent person gets the job."
“Who is the capable one?”
"Of course it's Chi Qiaoyu, the governor of Beiyuan."
"What qualifications does he have to take on this position? I recommend Xiao Weilun, the Minister of War."
"Hmph, I think Right Censor Li Dong is more suitable..."
These people started to quarrel.
The entire Golden Throne Hall looks like a vegetable market.
"Shut up!"
Prime Minister Li Chengqian, who had been silent all this time, shouted loudly, and everyone fell silent.
Li Chengqian asked, "It's almost noon, why hasn't Your Majesty arrived yet?"
Chenshi, which is from 7 to 9 o'clock.
The Chen hour is about to pass, which means it will be 9 o'clock soon.
Under normal circumstances, the morning court session would be over by this time.
"It seems that His Majesty has drunk too much again." someone said.
"You, go ask."
Li Chengqian casually pointed at the eunuch next to him.
Just as the eunuch was about to leave, Zhu Zhongyan hurried in and said, "Your Majesty is not feeling well. Today's morning court session is cancelled. Please return, everyone."
Li Chengqian angrily asked, "Your Majesty, why did you only tell me now that you're feeling unwell?"
Zhu Zhongyan sighed, "Your Majesty was about to attend court, but he has a severe headache. The imperial physician said it was caused by excessive anger, so I had no choice but to tell you all. If there is something important, you can postpone it. If that is not possible, please submit a memorial. I will see your Majesty when he feels better."
"Hmph, if I wrote a memorial, wouldn't it all be read by you, old dog?" Li Chengqian cursed.
Zhu Zhongyan didn't care at all and continued with a smile, "You gentlemen may also go to see His Majesty. However, I don't know whether His Majesty is willing to see you."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Tell His Majesty that all other matters can be postponed, except for one thing. Zhao Lin is imprisoned, and the position of Governor of Jiangbei is vacant. Who does Your Majesty want to take over?"
Zhu Zhongyan said, "I will tell His Majesty. My Lords, I still have to serve His Majesty. Farewell."
Zhu Zhongyan came and left in a hurry.
The ministers all shook their heads.
"The matter of the Governor of Jiangbei must be brought before Your Majesty. Please make the decision in person."
Shao Yutang suddenly said, "Last time, that eunuch Zhu Zhongyan took advantage of the situation and gave it to Zhao Lin. We can't make the same mistake again."
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be."
"Let Your Majesty rest for a day first, and we will go to see you tomorrow."
"This time, we must choose a man of both ability and integrity to be the Governor of Jiangbei."
The officials reached a rare consensus.
"Oh, and there are also the two positions of Minister of Rites and Prefect of Shengjing."
Suddenly, someone else said, "Master Fu and Master Li have been imprisoned by His Majesty. I don't know if they can return, but the affairs of these two yamen cannot be stopped. Why not ask His Majesty to appoint two deputies to maintain the operation of these two yamen first, and then we can make a decision later."
