Even though he was pushed back by the cabinet bosses, he still bypassed the cabinet and gave the order to Zhao Lin.
So instead of making things awkward, it's better to go along with him. At worst, I can find a way to bring Zhao Lin down later.
So Zhao Lin's new position was happily decided.
Li Zhengnian stood there stunned.
Who would have thought that he would lose his official position just after going to Beijing?
"His Majesty……"
Li Zhengnian was about to plead, but Emperor Chengping said impatiently, "The emperor's uncle is old and should rest. Let the young people take care of him."
Li Zhengnian had no choice but to say, "I obey your order."
Li Zhengnian glared at Zhao Lin hatefully and retreated back to the queue.
Zhao Lin also retreated.
Li Chengqian came out and asked, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand and I would like to ask Your Majesty for your guidance."
Emperor Chengping asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Chengqian asked, "What wrong did the Wu family, to which Concubine Rong belongs, commit to deserve the extermination of their entire clan?"
It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned, but once it was mentioned, Emperor Chengping flew into a rage: "The Wu family, relying on their relationship with Concubine Rong, are acting with impunity. Their crimes are so heinous that even a hundred deaths cannot atone for their sins. However, I have already been lenient in exterminating three clans."
Li Chengqian frowned.
Emperor Chengping was just angry, but he didn't say what crimes the Wu family had committed. How could they be so unscrupulous and commit such heinous crimes?
Li Chengqian was about to speak when Zhao Lin suddenly intervened, "If you want to know, Lord Li, why not ask the people below what the Wu family has done?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Zhao Lin, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "I will look into this matter."
Everyone knew what was going on.
The emperor doted on Concubine Rong the most, but he suddenly executed her entire clan. Meanwhile, Zhao Lin, who had offended Concubine Rong, was not only released from prison but also promoted. There was obviously something wrong.
And it is a problem that cannot be known to outsiders.
But what can’t be known to outsiders?
No matter how extreme the Wu family's actions were, it would never reach the point of exterminating three clans.
Then the problem can only lie with Concubine Rong.
What did Rong Fei do?
Assassinate the emperor?
That shouldn't be the case. There's no need to hide this kind of thing.
Could it be...
Many people were startled.
Could it be that Concubine Rong was so bold that she cheated on the emperor?
If it is true, then the three Yi tribes are all getting a bargain for her.
But other than this, there is really no other reason.
So what role did Zhao Lin play in this, and why was he imprisoned first and then promoted?
Those who can stand here are all smart people.
Even a young man like Bai Shiyuan quickly analyzed the problem.
Many people looked at Zhao Lin.
No wonder His Majesty trusts him so much that he even lets him handle such private matters.
No wonder he reached a high position at such a young age.
The court meeting ended quickly amid everyone's wild thoughts.
Zhao Lin declined the invitation of some officials and quickly left with Fu Chengwang and others in a carriage.
"I thought you would agree to them." Fu Wenqi said with a smile.
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "It's meaningless. Anyone who really cares will send an invitation."
Fu Wenqi nodded. "As long as you understand it in your heart, that's all. In official circles, the worst thing to do is to be too intimate with people you just met. Even though they all smile like flowers, they won't hesitate to stab you in the back at the critical moment."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother. Maybe I can't compare to them as an official, but as a human being, I'm not afraid of them."
Fu Wenqi asked, "Are you saying you are more cunning and sinister than them?"
Zhao Lin laughed out loud.
When they returned to the Fu Mansion, Fu Liqing had already woken up and burst into tears when he saw Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin had no choice but to comfort her carefully.
Yun Zhiyi stood aside and said, "I should have come here yesterday, but my father was sick and I had to take care of him, so I couldn't come in time. Fortunately, you are okay."
Zhao Lin asked, "No wonder I didn't see Lord Yun at the court this morning. Is he feeling better?"
Yun Zhiyi said, "It's okay. I just felt dizzy after being blown by the wind. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Zhao Lin nodded.
The brothers Yun Heng and Yun Chuan stood aside awkwardly.
No need to ask, you know what's going on at a glance.
Fu Wenqi wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but was stopped by Fu Chengwang's look.
That’s right, no matter what you say to these young people, if you want to mock them, you have to do it in front of Yun Tianming.
…
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Chenhan came in front of Han Yuehua.
"Mom, I want to find my eldest brother and learn from him." Zhao Chenhan said.
