The tragic failure of the Andromeda Project's trial flight was very rare in the history of the dynasty. It caused an uproar at the time, which eventually led to the resignation of many senior officials. The Starship Company, which was ranked third in the dynasty at the time, even went bankrupt.
Although five years have passed since this incident, the aftermath is still lingering. Investigations related to this matter have never stopped, and people are arrested every year.
Father Lin took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The charges they want to accuse Xuancheng of are failure to report the information and dereliction of duty."
"Are these people crazy?"
Lin's father smiled helplessly and said: "I would rather think that they feel that they are sure of victory, or they have to give it a try."
The emperor of the dynasty was a virtual monarch with no real power. He was just a symbol of the cohesion of the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the children of the royal family did not have many privileges. If the charges were confirmed, they would be imprisoned like ordinary people.
The charge of dereliction of duty can be big or small, and it is difficult to convict, so that's it. Considering the charges of being a supervisor, the failure to report the knowledge is serious. If found guilty, he will probably become an accomplice and go to jail. Even if the charges are not found in the end.
In fact, Li Xuancheng's reputation was ruined when he got involved with the Andromeda Project.
Now it seems that those people are not willing to just push Li Xuancheng out of the succession line, but also want to send Li Xuancheng to prison in one fell swoop. This is not an ordinary exclusion, but a life-and-death struggle.
"This is not the Middle Ages of the home planet. Is it necessary?"
In Lin Xi's view, the throne is almost worthless, if not worthless. Each member of the royal family has a huge halo, behind which is a life without freedom and huge responsibilities. As a spiritual symbol of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, important members of the royal family have a little
If you do something wrong, you will incur huge criticism.
It's really not worth expending so much effort just to fight for the throne.
"I also don't understand this matter, but since our opponent has made a move, we have to take it. Some families have already expressed their attitude. The Luo Brothers Group has also issued statements in recent days, clearly supporting the great emperor. At this time, our Lin family also
You need to express your attitude so that potential partners can see the direction of the wind and make early decisions."
"So do we need to honor the engagement?"
"Originally, this is a matter of time. If we do it at this time, we can also protect Xuancheng. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? You and Xuancheng have been close since childhood. If you get married earlier, my Lin family will have a next generation."
Lin Xi's smile became a little forced.
Father Lin stood up and said, "The time is almost up, let's go in."
Lin Xi stood up, followed him out of the elegant room, and walked towards Shuyu Hall.
Several people had already arrived in Shuyu Hall. When they saw Lin's father walking in, they stood up immediately. One of them, a tall and sunny young man, first said, "I have met Wen Yuangong."
The young man was handsome, well-mannered, and his well-made dress showed his aristocratic temperament. With a slight nod, a vague look drifted towards Lin Xi.
Father Lin smiled and said, "I have told you so many times that you can just call me uncle in private situations."
"Uncle." The tall young man followed the good advice.
But in Lin Xi's eyes, this was a bit like climbing along the pole.
Father Lin laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Don't be polite anymore, take your seats first, wait for the old lady to come, and then start the banquet, so that Xi Xi can calm down and wash away the dust!"
A dinner party passed like this with Lin Xi full of thoughts.
The family banquet was over and it was already nine o'clock. Lin Xi wanted to go back and rest early on the pretext that he was tired from the journey. Lin's father immediately said, "It's good to rest early. In this way, Xuancheng, you can send Xi Xi back."
The tall young man said: "Okay."
The two walked out of Shuyu Hall and got into the unmanned aerial vehicle waiting at the door. Lin Xi said "go home", and the unmanned vehicle automatically determined her identity and destination, planned the route, and slowly got up.
OK.
Inside the carriage, there was silence at first.
It was Li Xuancheng who broke the silence first, "You seem a little unhappy?"
"No, I'm just...a little tired. Also, I feel a little sudden."
"I also felt it was very sudden. When I heard the news about your accident, I was anxious and rushed over here, wanting to wait for the news. Unexpectedly, not long after I arrived, the Andromeda Project was revealed again."
Li Xuancheng smiled bitterly, and then sighed.
"Is the situation serious now?"
"Do you know what important position I could hold when I just came out of school? All I did was daily research and I didn't participate in their games at all. They also knew my character and didn't dare to
Tell me these things."
"But my father said that your supervisor at the time insisted that you knew about it."
"If they insist on saying that, I can't help it, but the laws of the dynasty are not just a decoration. False accusations will bear corresponding responsibility, and the original crime will have an additional penalty. I think he wants to be exiled to another land."
"But this period of time will have a great impact on your reputation."
Li Xuancheng laughed heartily and said: "What does that matter? My elder brothers and younger brothers are all excellent, and my nephew is also outstanding, but he is just a little younger. No matter who of them succeeds to the throne, it will be fine, but I don't want to sit in that position.
In that case, wouldn't it mean that I wouldn't be able to go anywhere, and I would have to make offerings to the main star every day?"
Lin Xi glared at him and said, "You are quite reasonable! We, the Lin family, are running back and forth about your affairs!"
"It should be said that it is for our affairs, and more broadly, it is for the dynasty. We still don't know what the purpose of these people is, but we can be sure that a group of people want to take advantage of the change of throne to bring trouble to the dynasty.
Chaos, it's good to fish in troubled waters." Li Xuancheng said seriously.
Lin Xi rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm a little tired now and don't want to think about these intrigues."
"Then there's no need to think about it. I didn't do anything anyway, so I'm not afraid of them being framed. Besides, mom is not someone to be trifled with."
At this time, the suspended car slowly stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard. Lin Xi said, "I'm here. You should rest early."
"Okay, good night."
Li Xuancheng stretched out his hand. Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and hugged him gently, her body a little stiff.
Li Xuancheng didn't bother, watched Lin Xi walk into the courtyard, and left in a car.
When Lin Xi entered the door, the lights in the courtyard and the room were lit up one after another. The soft light made the surrounding scenery beautiful. She took off her robe, fell on the sofa, let out a long breath, and said: "Tune Andromeda."
The plan information must be related to Li Xuancheng."
As soon as she finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared in front of her, with a large amount of information appearing on it, and many documents were marked top secret.
As he watched, Lin Xi's expression changed. The situation shown in these materials was actually quite serious, and the evidence was intertwined, making it difficult to escape. Moreover, the other party also launched various offensives against Li Xuancheng's mother clan, and there were many investigations into related cases.
There were dozens of cases. Even if Li Xuancheng's mother clan was quite powerful, they must have been in a hurry for a while.
What's even worse is that there are several cases where the evidence is conclusive and someone will definitely be sent to prison. Under such circumstances, it may be difficult for Li Xuancheng's mother clan to spare the energy to protect him.
In other words, if the Lin family doesn't help this time, I'm afraid Li Xuancheng will go to jail.
