Lin Jinxiao retorted resolutely: "The official system of our dynasty has been plagued by shortcomings for a long time. Nowadays, the big lords control the way of appointing officials and only pay attention to the selection of officials based on family background. This makes it impossible for capable scholars from poor families to enter the officialdom, leading to the phenomenon of selling out their official positions.
Even if there is no queen to set a precedent, I will not allow such bad phenomena to continue to spread."
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Jinxiao's voice became more serious: "You have also been tortured by the Tang family and the Yang family. Do you still want to see the second Tang Yao and Yang Runchen come out of our court?"
These words undoubtedly gave Ji Huaishu and Yin Sinian a heavy blow, making them instantly aware of their current situation.
The Tang family and the Yang family fell one after another, and the Ji family and the Yin family naturally became the most prosperous family power in the court at the moment. How can they not be feared?
The two looked at each other in disbelief, and no one dared to speak again.
But Lin Yanjun couldn't swallow this breath. She was the one who bore the brunt of the damage caused by the reform of Langzhou's official system. She had to turn things around before everything was settled.
Glancing at Ji Huaishu and Yin Sinian with deep eyes, Lin Yanjun argued with reason: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is still young. You must not compete with the big families at this time. Besides, Your Majesty is the most powerful king in the world. With His Majesty's personal
If we manage the affairs of the state, we will definitely not have the disasters of Tang Yao and Yang Runchen again."
First, he praised him lavishly, and then he began to reason with him and move him emotionally:
"Since the Queen decided to reform the official system of Langzhou, strange things have happened frequently in Langzhou. The newly born little princess, Her Royal Highness, did not even dare to apply for a wet nurse. This shows that this move is not popular among the people. If this continues, it will definitely lead to chaos in the world. The Queen does not care
Even though His Majesty is facing a difficult political situation when he ascends the throne, yet he acts arbitrarily based on His Majesty's favor. I also ask Your Majesty to recall the Queen immediately and ask her to return to the palace to reflect on her mistakes. Only in this way can the people of the world be stabilized."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a thunderous scolding sounded outside the Yangxin Palace: "It would be nice to reflect on your mistakes and appease the people of the world."
Everyone heard the sound and went out, only to see that the person entering from outside the palace was none other than the Empress Dowager Yin Enci leading Brother Hai Lianying and Hai Da'a into the Yangxin Hall.
Before he could reach the front, Yin Enci glared at Lin Yanjun, who had a dull look on his face, and scolded him again: "Lin Yanjun, you have ignored etiquette and Enyi, and now you dare to openly instigate the relationship between the emperor and the empress. You are really embarrassing."
My family is disappointed."
Several people in the palace, including Lin Jinxiao, were all confused by the Empress Dowager's sudden accusation, but looking at Hai Da'a who entered the palace together, Lin Jinxiao suddenly seemed to notice something.
Strange things have happened frequently in Langzhou recently. I'm afraid that without the support of the palace people, even those petty officials who have great courage would not dare to do such bold things.
He sat down calmly, but at this moment he chose not to make a sound, and quietly listened to the imperial grandmother's scolding of his aunt.
Yin Sinian and Ji Huaishu looked at each other in confusion. Seeing how angry their ancestors were today, they had no choice but to comfort them and said: "Old ancestors, although the eldest princess's words are too much, she is also worried about me going to Sheji.
There is no second intention, please forgive me, ancestor."
Lin Yanjun's heart was in his throat when he saw the thick official document held in Hai Da'a's arms, and he immediately had some bad premonitions.
But before he could voice his grievances, he saw Yin Enci picking up the official document in Hai Da'a's hand and slamming it in front of him: "How can the Ai family appease the anger of the Ai family after she did such an unconscionable and treasonous thing?"
As he said that, he looked at Lin Yanjun with an even more angry look: "Please take a look at the good things you have done. You were just a free woman in the palace. The late Emperor pitied you for being lonely, and he was grateful to have sacrificed his life for the country heroically, so he made the Inner Court Secretary
I left it to you to take care of, but you are so greedy that you instigated lower-level officials to disobey the late emperor's will. Yanjue was Huaili's brother-in-law, but you were so cruel that you killed him."
"Mother, my sons and ministers do all this for the sake of the overall situation."
Lin Yanjun looked at the memorials and official documents scattered on the ground, and felt extremely panicked. He knew that someone must have betrayed him, so he anxiously argued: "My son indeed has many contacts with Langzhou officials, but how could he harm Chang Lao?"
It's someone who wants to frame me up and deliberately frame me."
"Now that the matter has come to an end, princess, please stop making excuses."
Hai Da'a shook his head helplessly and sighed: "President Tan ordered people to search the official residence of Chang Shi Zhang Xuan, and found countless letters between you and him over the years from the secret cabinet in his study. Although the old slave has poor eyesight, he can still recognize the handwriting of the eldest princess.
There are also many account books that are ironclad evidence, and every transaction is recorded in such detail that even if the queen sees it, she cannot speak for the eldest princess."
"Zhang Xuan?"
Lin Yanjun was so angry that he never expected that the person who was usually the most respectful and loyal to him would have a backup plan. He was really unpredictable.
When he heard that Chang Lao was killed by someone sent by his biological aunt, Lin Jinxiao could no longer remain calm. He violently lifted the desk in front of him, and the piled memorials and slips fell to the ground along with the desk.
"Auntie really has a great heart. If you are so kind, should I still be grateful to you for serving the country and the people and setting up a monument for you?"
Lin Jinxiao stood up angrily. Only at this moment did he fully understand why his wife gave birth prematurely.
He already felt guilty for leaving their mother and son in Langzhou, but Chang Lao died tragically. His wife was also premature and it was difficult to find a wet nurse for the fetus. He was heartbroken at this moment.
As expected, the royal family has no family ties.
He now has a complete epiphany.
Previously, she wanted to forgive her father's only sister, the only remaining flesh and blood of the imperial grandmother, and not care about her corruption, but now she has touched her bottom line and harmed her most respected mentor, wife and children. How can she still
Can I swallow this bad breath again?
Staring at Lin Yanjun with a sullen face, he spoke out the pent-up resentment in his heart: "Chang Lao has devoted his whole life to serving the country. Even his only son died in the border battle. Now he should have returned to his hometown to take care of his old age, but he still
Because he couldn't bear to worry about the turbulent political situation, his aunt actually took his life for her own selfish reasons.
Although my wife is just a country woman, she also knows that the state is a big one, and she is very humble to you, mother and daughter. Even though she was made things difficult for you when she first came to the capital, she still responded with kindness. Before going north, she even urged me not to embarrass Jing Lingjiu.
Dang, can the things you have done one after another be worthy of her painstaking efforts?"
One of the most striking words was called Ji Huaishu, and Yin Sinian felt ashamed when he heard it.
Recalling that the eldest princess had earnestly persuaded the two families to resist the queen's reform of the official system in Langzhou before entering the palace, they were eager to find a way to sneak in.
The eldest princess doesn't have any righteousness in her heart, it's just for her own selfish desires.
