Chapter 171 Seeing his benefits is worse than my loss (10.5k)(1/5)
Li Huang went straight to the killing spree without saying anything else. Lin Guogong, who was "recovering from a serious injury," was the first to break the silence in the hall. He said feebly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Guogong, thinking that Lin Guogong would jump out to cooperate with Emperor Li in making a fool of himself.
Unexpectedly, after Lin Guogong picked up the memorial on the ground and took a look at it, he immediately looked stunned, as if he had just woken up, and sighed helplessly.
"His Majesty issued a decree yesterday that anyone who fabricates rumors will be killed.
As a royal censor, it's okay to just say that I heard something happened. Unfortunately, this memorial is so conclusive and detailed that it seems like there is some ironclad evidence.
As a court official, he openly fabricated rumors. It is really a shame to die."
Lin Guogong shook his head and stepped back. When he came up, he determined his nature to death.
Everyone's heart froze and they no longer dared to say anything. Even the people behind the three censors were also silent.
Lin Guogong glanced at the crowd and focused on the three officials, as if he saw three stupid idiots.
As we all know, Emperor Li has never wanted a woman to be the crown prince, but the crown prince is so outstanding that he overwhelms other princes from even thinking about it.
There is indeed neither a gap nor a close relationship between the father and daughter.
But these melons got one thing wrong, they were not ordinary father and daughter.
One of them is Emperor Li and the other is Prince Dali.
Even without considering the relationship between father and daughter, Emperor Li would never allow this to happen.
Emperor Li was actually not very domineering, and he could be considered a relatively kind emperor on weekdays.
Emperor Li is now teaching them a lesson. He is not targeting anyone, but it is actually a sign of kindness.
If there are rumors outside, forget it. There are people in the court who use rumors to make things happen. They really think that the prince is like Emperor Li, who will think a lot.
The prince is already strong, and he will wait until the prince ascends the throne in the future.
Those who stretch out their hands today are sowing the seeds of their own destruction in the future.
Lihuang didn't want to get too involved, and he didn't want to go to the extent of killing a certain wealthy family.
But that may not be the case for the prince.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is usually a bit restrained, but whenever he takes action, he must be merciless.
When the court meeting was over, Duke Lin Guogong avoided three of the officials and stayed away from them, as if he was afraid that when they died, their blood would splash on him.
Over time, there will definitely be powerful people.
As long as there is a high-ranking member or a top strong person in the family, the descendants will surely gradually form the prototype of a powerful family as long as they strive for success.
When a big family is formed, more and more people will become officials in the court, there will be more and more monks in the family, and the chances of strong men appearing will be higher and higher.
Nowadays, there are big families and sects that can be called names and have a long history. Each one is like this. They have worked hard for generations and slowly climbed up under this positive feedback.
Those who did not climb up were actually the majority. They were lost in the crowd and disappeared into time.
Those who can stand in the main hall and participate in the court meeting cannot avoid those big families and powerful forces.
Even if it is a large sect, there will occasionally be people who join the court as officials.
People definitely need to use it, but it is also indispensable to knock it from time to time.
At the end of the court meeting, the traces of Lin Guogong's performance were so obvious that many people could see it at a glance.
The three people walking together had serious faces, and everyone around them stayed away from them.
When they left the palace city and Duke Lin's jade chariot walked out of the main street, they saw one of the three people standing by the side road, paying homage to a junior.
The jade chariot stopped, opened the door, and let him in.
After entering, Lin Guogong looked at the person in front of him with great interest.
"Kang Shangshu, what are you doing?"
The visitor saluted as a junior, which was very polite.
"Your Excellency, you are too polite. There is no minister of the Ministry of Industry today, only the junior Kuang Tianming.
I'm here specially to ask you for advice."
Seeing Kuang Tianming's posture, Lin Guogong sighed and asked first.
"Are your Kuang family involved in the rumors?"
"Kuang Tianming can swear on my word that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with my Kuang family."
"Then I advise you to know how to measure everything in everything, and don't do unnecessary temptations when you see immediate or future benefits." Lin Guogong stopped at this point and could not go any further.
"Thank you for your teaching, sir. Actually, the younger generation doesn't agree with it either. Unfortunately, I don't have the final say in the Kuang family." Kuang Tianming sighed softly.
Lin Guo Gongquan pretended not to have heard this sentence, even though he had known it for a long time.
He thought about it and said.
"After today, the Northern Territory will begin to search for those who spread rumors and arrest those who fabricate rumors."
"Junior understands, thank you sir."
Before Kuang Tianming left, he added another sentence.
"There will be a major inspection by the Ministry of Civil Affairs every sixty years. The Ministry of Industry will fully assist Mr. Gong. As for the Kuang family, what I can guarantee is that I will not hold you back."
Lin Guogong bowed his hands in return.
His son Gong Tianlin is the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel. It is enough if one of them is willing to fully cooperate and the Kuang family does not hold back.
In return, Lin Guogong said one more thing.
"Don't test your majesty. Your majesty will kill people. Don't try to influence the prince. Don't cross the line. Your majesty's line and the prince's line are also different."
Kuang Tianming bowed solemnly, and the instructions he was waiting for were these words.
After the prince took charge of the East Palace, he always dealt with official affairs of the court and never interfered with those who shouldn't. He didn't even like to have personal relations with big families like them.
It was as if a layer of fog had enveloped them, making it difficult for them to see clearly.
Even in the prince's growth process, they never participated in the slightest.
Because the prince grew up too fast, by the time they realized that as a woman, she was already too good and completely suppressed the other princes, the prince had already gone to the army, and when he came back, no one could stop him.
.
In just over a hundred years, they advanced to the ninth level. Not to mention anything else, this incident alone sent chills down their backs.
After seeing off Kuang Tianming, Lin Guogong sat there and couldn't help laughing.
It seems that if the three big families do not stand together, even within the Kuang family, there are great differences.
In this case, Tianming, although he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and has a good job, but his status in the family, let alone the head of the family, is probably not among the top three.
This is a common problem among big families like Dali, because those who first join the court as officials are almost not the most valued people.
The person who deserves the most attention must be trained in the family and will succeed the head of the family in the future.
Kuang Tianming was very thoughtful. He seized the opportunity and started betting.
Even though the matter of the prince's incarnation has not yet been settled, this is a good opportunity.
To express your stance later is just the icing on the cake and to follow the crowd, which is useless.
Even now, I don’t know if this rumor is spreading, and I don’t know who did it. Even the Shadow Department can’t find out.
But the more this happened, the more Lin Guogong worried that this matter was true.
Because according to his understanding, those rumors, except for the uncertainty about the incarnation, seemed to be true.
He actually felt that this might be true.
This is the scariest place.
Da Li had just verified a lot of people, killed many people, and designated the Langya Transformation Technique as a heretical and forbidden technique. If at this time, the prince was also confirmed to practice the Langya Transformation Technique.
That was a major event that shook the country.
In just a few days, people's hearts began to change, and some people even started to contact other princes.
If Li Huang's previous attitude were to be followed, if this fact came to light, even if he would not directly abolish the prince, he would still open the first page to the matter of abolishing the prince.
Dali will definitely fall into turmoil in the future, and it may be difficult for the prince to succeed to the throne safely.
But Emperor Li could obviously see this, and he picked up the butcher's knife in the first step, so that this matter could be controlled.
But it’s not easy to deal with later.
…
Yu Ziqing walked on the streets of Dingmao City, searching for information bit by bit.
He has gone through a complete seal before, and now he is starting the second time.
There was a lot of information collected, and he did not reveal his identity or interfere with the normal flow of seals, just like a bystander.
As long as there is a possibility of revealing his identity, he will leave and start over.
To be continued...
