The prince also hoped that Fu Chengwang, Li Xingye and others could join him in opposing Liu Zhengyan from investigating Zhao Lin.
As a result, the two men remained motionless, as if they were not investigating their son-in-law or student.
This put the prince in a passive position.
"I obey your order!" said Liu Zhengyan.
The matter was settled, and it was useless for the prince to object, so he could only retreat helplessly.
After leaving court.
The prince hurriedly stopped Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye.
"Master Fu, Master Li, if Liu Zhengyan goes to investigate Zhao Lin, he will definitely confuse right and wrong and slander Zhao Lin. We must be on guard." The prince said anxiously.
Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye looked at each other.
Fu Chengwang said, "Don't worry, Prince. If it were so easy to slander, there would be no need for Zhao Lin to worry you."
Li Xingye said: "Master Fu is right. The Crown Prince should also believe in Master Liu's integrity and not slander others casually."
"But he is Prince Yu's man, and he will definitely slander Zhao Lin so that he can deal with me." The prince said helplessly.
Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye laughed at the same time.
Fu Chengwang said slowly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir appointed by His Majesty. As long as his moral character is not in question, no one can prevent His Highness the Crown Prince from succeeding to the throne, no matter how many tricks they have."
Li Xingye nodded and said, "Master Fu is absolutely right. Your Highness, as long as you stay true to your principles, there's no need to worry so much."
The prince was so angry that his nose was about to become crooked.
How could he not know this?
Isn’t this Prince Yu being aggressive?
"Since you two adults are not worried about Zhao Lin, I won't worry either." The prince turned away.
The father-in-law and the teacher are not worried, so why should I worry?
Besides, if Zhao Lin can't even handle this, it's really not worth his effort.
…
"Are you going to investigate Zhao Lin?"
Returning to the Changning Marquis Mansion, Zhao Mingyue was shocked to hear the news: "Did Zhao Lin make any mistakes?"
Liu Zhengyan said, "Zhao Lin forced all officials in the Jiujiang Governor's Office to resign, then replaced them with his own people to impeach the censor. Your Majesty has asked me to investigate whether those officials were forced to resign by Zhao Lin or were forced to blackmail him."
"Of course, this is not important. What is important is that he has surrendered to the Crown Prince, and Prince Yu will definitely not tolerate him."
Zhao Mingyue had a complicated expression and asked, "Does Big Sister know about this?"
Liu Zhengyan asked doubtfully, "This is a matter of officialdom. Why would Princess Yu know about this?"
Zhao Mingyue quickly covered it up: "Since it's an official matter, my elder sister doesn't know about it, so you don't need to tell me."
Liu Zhengyan smiled and said, "You are my wife. I have to let you know before I go on a long trip to avoid worrying you."
Zhao Mingyue was worried: "Zhao Lin has always been cruel, he won't do anything untoward to you, right?"
"He wouldn't dare." Liu Zhengyan said confidently, "Unless he wants to rebel."
Zhao Mingyue was still worried, so after Liu Zhengyan left, she immediately went out to find Zhao Mingzhu.
"Zhengyan went to check on Zhao Lin?"
Zhao Mingzhu paced back and forth, dismissing the maids and servants. "It's only been three years since Zhao Lin left the Marquis' Mansion, and he's already become a provincial governor, a high-ranking official. He's been promoted so quickly since the founding of our dynasty. If we can get him to change his mind and return to the Marquis' Mansion, it will be a great help to us."
"But mother doesn't allow it." Zhao Mingyue said.
Zhao Mingzhu sighed, "Yeah, I don't know what mother is thinking. Even if she favors Chenhan, she wouldn't drive Zhao Lin away. Seeing our family members killing each other, my heart aches."
Zhao Mingyue said, "I don't want anything to happen to Zhao Lin, but since my mother won't give in, there's nothing we can do."
Zhao Mingzhu pondered, "I don't know what Dad is thinking."
Zhao Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "There were two rumors..."
Zhao Mingzhu immediately said sternly, "That's a rumor, it's not true."
Zhao Mingyue said, "Of course I know it's a rumor, but there's no smoke without fire."
Zhao Mingzhu was silent.
They couldn't believe that their parents would abandon their own son for an outsider.
Zhao Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Lin is smart and has a strong backer. Zheng Yan won't find out anything, so don't worry."
Zhao Mingyue said, "I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about what if he transfers his hatred towards us to Zhengyan and harms him?"
Zhao Mingzhu shook her head: "Don't worry, Zhao Lin won't do such a foolish thing unless he wants to rebel."
Zhao Mingyue said, "There are countless ways to kill people in this world. What if he causes Zhengyan to get into an accident? Imperial envoys who have had accidents have done so before."
Zhao Mingzhu hesitated and asked, "Is Zhao Lin so cruel?"
Zhao Mingyue sighed, "Have you forgotten what he said when he won the first prize? He wished that all of us in the mansion would die."
Zhao Mingzhu said, "I'll go find the prince and ask him to assign Zhengyan a few more guards."
Zhao Mingyue came here for this purpose, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, big sister."
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Han Yuehua also learned that Emperor Chengping sent Liu Zhengyan to investigate Zhao Lin.
"Okay! Let Zhengyan investigate thoroughly. It would be best if this disobedient, unfilial, talentless and unethical person is dismissed from his post and investigated." Han Yuehua said loudly.
Zhao Chenhan said, "Brother has so many backers, even if there is any problem, it won't be a big deal."
"Hmph, those old guys like Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye are really blind. You didn't choose such an outstanding person, but chose that rebellious son. Sooner or later, they will regret it!" Han Yuehua said angrily.
Zhao Mingyu said: "It's time to arrange a marriage for Chenhan."
Zhao Mingya watched nervously.
Han Yuehua nodded and said, "Your father has already chosen the daughter of the Duke of Wei. He will come to propose marriage soon."
Zhao Chenhan's heart moved: "So, the Duke of Wei has made his choice?"
