The former is to ask the family and the latter is to ask the country.

Lin Yuanda gave his answer to the first question without hesitation, but in the face of the second question, the imperial prince lowered his head and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Your Majesty, it depends on what the prince has made and what mistakes he has made."

The saint reached out and knocked on the table, and said, "What if you do a small mistake? What if you do a big mistake?"

Duke Yuan Da respectfully lowered his head and said, "Please advise him if he is a small mistake, but give him a big mistake."

"What a big mistake to give me."

The smile on the saint's face became restrained, and he said with a tense face: "If the prince made the same mistake as your son, and his hands were covered with life, what if he thought?"

Hearing this, Lin Jian's face changed slightly. He lowered his head and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is still unclear whether the dog son is guilty, and His Royal Highness... is even more unlikely to commit such a crime."

The old emperor groaned: "I said, what would happen to you, Lin Yuanda, if the prince was infected with his life?"

Lin Jian took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "I... I will persuade him to stay away from him."

After hearing this answer, the saint stared at the Imperial College who was kneeling in front of him and groaned: "Don't you scholars often say that the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people? Why, when you come to Lin Jian, this saint's words are inappropriate?"

Lin Jian knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Rong said something a bit disrespectful..."

Because Tanhualang's voice was low: "Kang Donglai, the former department of the Ministry of Water Affairs, had already been infected with human lives, and more than one, among which there were even the lives of the court officials and families of young people."

Duke Yuan Da knelt in the Ganlu Palace and whispered: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, is Kang Donglai the same crime as the common people?"

Hearing this, the old emperor was furious and looked at Lin Jian fiercely: "I ask you about the East Palace, and you insist on Kang Donglai! I have a position and need to take care of all directions. Some things can only be weighed and done. How can you scholars understand?"

Duke Yuan Da knelt on the ground and whispered: "Your Majesty has a deep vision. Of course, I cannot fully understand what he has done. However, I have guessed some of His Majesty's thoughts in the case of Kang Donglai."

"After Dali Temple announced that Kang Donglai was exiled, the two border governors changed their positions. Mostly, his Majesty took this opportunity to force General Kang to complete this matter. His Majesty did this for the stability of the northern border and the peace of the border army."

"Although I am stupid, I can see some of these."

Lin Jian kept his voice and continued, "Since Kang Donglai could not be punished with the common people because of the court, then... the prince could do it."

"As the crown prince, he is also the chief legitimate, and his reputation is just right and obedient. He is a plan for the court, so the crown prince cannot easily accept it."

Hearing Lin Jian’s words, the old emperor frowned first, and then laughed at himself: “I am worthy of being a scholar and a teacher in the Eastern Palace. After saying this, even I am speechless.”

The old emperor was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "It's up to me to say this, I don't have to beat around the bush, listen."

His Majesty, the emperor with white hair and beard, got up from the soft couch with the help of Wei Zhong, hunched over, walked to Lin Jian, and asked in a low voice: "I ask you, are Lin Yuanda now the Lord Zhongzhen, or the crown prince of Zhongdong Palace?"

The case of Lin Mo in Hengzhou City is irrelevant to Chang'an City, but it makes the elderly emperor feel deeply in crisis. When something happened to Lin Jian's son in Hengzhou, a few people can just go to Chang'an City to make local officials bow their heads and easily turn the case over!

And because of this incident, even the prince of the Prince of Song’s Mansion rushed to Hengzhou from afar!

This shows that this invisible and intangible "East Palace Group" has been united to a certain extent.

The old emperor felt a sense of powerlessness now. He was not sure that these scholars and officials led by Lin Jian were now loyal to him as the emperor or the crown prince.

Hearing this question, Yuan Dagong, who had always been steady, couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He knelt in front of the old emperor, his voice hoarse: "Minist Lin Jian, eat the king's fortune, and naturally loyalty to the emperor. My personal relationship with the Eastern Palace was also arranged by Your Majesty back then..."

When Lin Jian was a junior high school Jinshi, he was arranged to be a Hanlin Academy in the Hanlin Academy. Later, he was elected as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace and went to teach the prince. He then formed a "master-apprentice" relationship with the prince and Li Xu.

Speaking of this, Lin Jian's voice trembled and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, anyone who has a personal relationship with the East Palace is all about your kindness and kindness, and there is no other thought!"

The emperor reached out and helped Lin Jian up, then looked straight at the imperial magistrate Jijiu in front of him, and his voice was hoarse: "Lin Jijiu, I have recorded all the words you said."

"I will rush to Hengzhou for your son's affairs to investigate and give your Lin family a fair."

Speaking of this, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Remember, this is my kindness, not the kindness of the Eastern Palace."

"One day, if you, Lin Yuanda, cannot see clearly, will cause trouble for yourself!"

Lin Jian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty's Hadith, I... remember it in my heart."

"Go."

The emperor waved his hand and said lightly: "After going back, we will be sympathetic with your fellow villagers, classmates, and classmates, so that these so-called Shigu Schools can think clearly about the truth, so as not to really commit anything in the future, and then blame me for not teaching me and kill me."

Lin Jian took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "I... I will leave."

After saying this, Lin Jian lowered his head and walked out of the Ganlu Hall respectfully. When he reached the door of the store, Yuan Dagong, who had been in office for 20 years, could not help but fight. His knees became weak and his steps were a little staggering.

After Lin Jian left Ganlu Hall, the old emperor sat back on his soft couch, flipped through a few pages of the manuscript, and spoke to himself: "Wei Zhong, what do you think... what about this Lin Jian?"

Eunuch Wei's body trembled, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have much contact with these scholars on weekdays, but looking at Lin Jijiu's appearance..."

After pausing, he spoke, "It's probably because he has read too many books and has kept the rules of establishing the legitimate and chief in his heart. Therefore... he is a little biased towards the Eastern Palace, and he doesn't see anything else."

After saying this, Wei Zhong quickly knelt on the ground and smiled: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with the Eastern Palace. When Your Majesty asks, I will just say my own opinions. If Your Majesty dislikes these scholars, I can make these people from the Stone Gu Sect... disappear in Chang'an City."

The emperor groaned and glanced at Wei Zhong: "If you were even from the Eastern Palace, you would probably not be me at this position."

Wei Zhong bowed respectfully and said, "I can have a good life today all thanks to the sages. I will never dare to have two hearts in this life."

The old emperor did not speak when he heard this, but yawned and slowly closed his eyes.

Wei Zhong was waiting on the side in a proper manner. Just when he thought the emperor was asleep, he suddenly heard the old emperor's voice.

"Go and say hello to the Ministry of Rites. This year's Changke will be postponed for ten days."
