A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 1592 Stalemate, Fu Lin is a loyal and capable minister 5
The Blood-Cloaked Guards are commanded by Lu Shaolin, and this group is currently in the Shuntian Prefecture Prison. The Blood-Cloaked Guards are so "loyal and dedicated" because they are forced to do so...
Fu Lin had taken over the Blood-Cloth Guard for a period of time, and he also bribed a few people in the Blood-Cloth Guard. These people were not Fu Lin's confidants, so Lu Shaolin did not touch them.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If the Blood Robe Guards were as stubborn as a rock and obeyed Lu Shaolin's orders, the Emperor would be the first one who would not let Lu Shaolin go.
It was because of these few people that Fu Lin successfully instigated the Blood-Clothed Guards, making these people, who had no idea what would happen tomorrow and were worried all day long about whether they would end up in jail like Lu Shaolin, follow Fu Lin obediently to find trouble with the Xie family.
Fight to survive!
Fight for your future!
This is the voice of every Blood-Clothed Guard, although they are still doing it under the banner of Dongling and the Emperor.
So... the Wang family and the Xie family were blocked by the police. If the people don't come out, it's fine. But if they come out, the Bloody Guards and the police will rush forward and will definitely take you down.
Wang Jinling and the head of the Xie family were both blocked at home by the officials. Wang Jinling was fine as it didn't matter to him whether he went out or not, but the head of the Xie family was almost getting anxious.
The Blood-Clothed Guards blocked his door, so how could he contact the outside world?
It's not that the head of the Xie family had not thought about challenging the Blood-Clothed Guards in a tough manner, but Fu Lin didn't give him any face at all. No matter how the Xie family threatened, the Blood-Clothed Guards refused to back down.
The Xie family did not dare to fight with the Blood-Clothed Guards. The Wang family had already made public the evidence that they were colluding with Princess Xiling. If they resisted too much now, it would undoubtedly confirm the accusation.
"How could those letters be leaked? How did the boss do things?" The head of the Xie family was so anxious that his hair turned white. He was trying to contact the outside world and the emperor. He wanted the emperor to endorse the Xie family and call back the Blood-clothed Guards.
The emperor was just hoping that the head of the Xie family would never leave, so why would he call the Blood-robed Guards back? If the emperor really cooperated with the Xie family, the Xie family would have helped the eighth prince to ascend the throne long ago.
When the emperor learned that Wang Jinling was not dead, he knew that Wang Jinling would not let the Xie family go. The Xie family's good days were over, and a fierce battle was bound to happen between the Wang and Xie families.
The emperor had waited so long for the Wang and Xie families to fight each other, and was happily sitting in the palace, watching the fight coldly. How could he possibly intervene and save the Xie family?
Without the threat from the head of the Xie family, the emperor could attend court normally. At least in the next few days, the emperor could handle government affairs without having to look at the face of the head of the Xie family or issue those strange imperial decrees.
The civil and military officials also gave face to the emperor and did not mention the matter of the King of Jiangnan, let alone the imperial edict that ordered the Ninth Prince to guard the imperial tomb, which was eventually left unresolved.
Not mentioning it does not mean it does not exist. Whenever the emperor sees the Ninth Prince, he will think of the imperial edict, the Ninth Prince's arrogance, and the oppression of civil and military ministers.
The emperor wanted to cause trouble to the Ninth Prince countless times, but he held back every time. Because he needed the Ninth Prince now, he needed the Ninth Prince to intimidate the Xie family in Dongling, and he needed the Ninth Prince to find a famous doctor to treat his illness.
Don't think that because he is controlled by the Xie family, he doesn't know that Feng Qingchen contacted the Imperial Concubine Xie privately and took the Eighth Prince away...
The Emperor kept silent and the Ninth Prince pretended not to know. When the Xie and Wang families were fighting to the death, the Ninth Prince submitted a memorial to remind the Emperor that the Dongling navy had gone to look for the Lu family's treasure for more than half a year and no one had returned. It was feared that something bad had happened, so the Emperor was requested to send someone to look for it.
If the Ninth Prince hadn't mentioned this matter, the Emperor would have really forgotten about it.
It’s not that the emperor doesn’t take the Lu family’s wealth seriously, but he has been tortured too badly by the Xie family in the past six months. Now he is fully focused on dealing with the Xie family and getting rid of the poison in his body.
As soon as the Ninth Prince's memorial came out, all the ministers looked ashamed. For the past six months, they had been like headless flies, trembling with fear every day, thinking about how to survive the storm or how to gain the greatest power. They had never thought about the navy who had been at sea for half a year.
Since the Ninth Prince's group had brought up the idea, the Emperor was of course going to send someone to look for it. However, the Emperor was at a loss as to the candidate. The Ninth Prince spoke again and proposed a candidate.
That person happened to belong to the Xie family faction.
The emperor knew that the Ninth Prince wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the main figures of the Xie family in the army one by one, so of course he would not refuse.
Next, the Ninth Prince Uncle brought up a few more matters, all of which were unimportant little things, but had to be done. The Emperor gave face to the Ninth Prince Uncle and solved everything the Ninth Prince Uncle brought up on the spot. He even didn't blink an eye when the Ninth Prince Uncle suggested transferring a battalion of people to build the imperial mausoleum.
Needless to say, the people in this battalion are related to the Xie family, and are an army not far from the imperial city.
The Xie family spent more than half a year deploying manpower, but the Ninth Prince spent only half an hour in the court to defeat them. The Xie family wanted the Ninth Prince to stay in the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life, so the Ninth Prince asked the people the Xie family had placed in the army to build the imperial mausoleum.
I have to say that the Ninth Prince was really ruthless when it came to hitting the Xie family. He would hit them on the left cheek and then on the right cheek.
After the morning court session ended, the emperor was in a very good mood, having completely swept away the gloom of the previous few days. Even though the imperial physician said that they had no way to treat the emperor's illness, the emperor did not get angry and kill anyone. Instead, he asked the imperial physician to leave and ate the table full of greasy food with a glowing face.
The Ninth Prince's morning court today was definitely a big deal. When he left the court, the civil and military officials looked at him with more enthusiasm than usual. There were a few brave ones who couldn't suppress their excitement and boldly stepped forward to get close to the Ninth Prince.
I thought the Ninth Prince would be in a good mood after winning the morning court, but...
The Ninth Prince still had no expression on his face. He glared at the newcomer coldly and walked past him, leaving the second-rank official standing there awkwardly, not daring to look up at his companion.
"Sir Chen, don't mind it. You know the temper of the Ninth Prince. We are still afraid to step forward." The officials belonging to the Ninth Prince's faction were afraid that the Ninth Prince would offend people, so they hurried forward to comfort the embarrassed official.
There were stairs down, and the man naturally went down: "Ninth Prince is of high moral character and does not associate with outsiders. He is truly a model for princes and royal sons."
Everyone present understood how self-deceiving this statement was. However, since everyone was carrying the sedan chair, no one would be stupid enough to say no. Words of praise for the Ninth Prince came out all at once, as if they were free.
When the emperor heard this scene, his good mood disappeared completely. He gnawed on the greasy pig's feet without any taste, until he thought of Fu Lin who was besieging the Xie family, and then his mood improved a little.
Fu Lin is indeed a capable and loyal minister, always looking for opportunities to share the worries of his emperor.
He didn't give any orders, but Fu Lin saw the situation clearly and cleverly took advantage of the chaos to delay the Xie family and buy him some time. If it weren't for Fu Lin's trick, he wouldn't even be able to temporarily escape from the control of the Xie family.
Well...afterwards, he must reuse Fu Lin!
