I drank a lot last night, but when the time came, I woke up on my own.
There is something on my mind, and I am destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.
Shangguan Yunxue opened her eyes almost at the same time.
At this time on weekdays, Shangguan Yunxue would have been awake for a long time, but it was different today. She did not get up to do what she loved.
Help Long Lin get dressed and watch Long Lin leave.
Outside the courtyard, Long Ye also walked out, and together with Long Ye, they walked toward the palace in a sedan chair.
In Long Lin's arms, there was a memorial that had been prepared.
In it, everything he did after going to Bazhou was written down truthfully.
Although this court meeting was not stated clearly, it must be about Long Ao's affairs.
There had been a lot of rumors in the capital. How could the imperial court not receive the news? As soon as he returned to the capital, the emperor called him to come to the palace to attend court. Apart from this matter, could there be anything else?
From Yin Siyue, Long Lin learned something.
Thinking about it, Long Lin felt a little want to laugh.
Most of the rumors in the capital condemned his actions, while only a few people praised him.
Even the students in the school almost always spoke in the same tone and expressed the same meaning.
Why is this happening? Of course he couldn't help but think about it.
But the reason he thought of made him want to laugh.
Just like there is a saying, this world has never been able to empathize with others, some are just aware of the warmth and coldness.
Entering the main hall, there were many ministers standing inside.
These people all looked at Long Lin with obvious respect.
Most people have complicated expressions and extremely weird eyes.
Long Lin didn't take this to heart and wouldn't care.
After a while, the emperor entered the main hall and sat on the dragon chair.
After saluting, everyone stood up and their eyes fell on the emperor.
But at this time, the emperor did not speak in a hurry and looked at Long Lin.
Although he didn't know the details of what happened, he still got wind of what happened roughly, and he also knew that Long Ao had been killed by Long Lin.
He stared at Long Lin, trying to detect some suspicion.
Long Lin naturally saw this look in his eyes. He looked at the emperor calmly, with no stain in his heart. His eyes were clear and peaceful.
After watching for a long time, the emperor slowly spoke.
"Dragon King, you did a very good job in praying for rain. I have fulfilled your wish. You should already know that the bandits in the four states have been completely wiped out by you. I am very relieved. Naturally, I am not happy about that matter.
We will investigate and tell everyone how you handled this matter."
After Long Lin heard this, he immediately felt happy.
What he expected was correct, and he felt reassured. Others might not understand, but he knew very well that his father would not continue to pursue Yin Siyue's matter in the future.
From his arms, Long Lin took out the prepared memorial.
"Thanks to my father, I have made detailed records of what I did in Bazhou. My father can understand it at a glance."
"Send it up," the emperor said.
After hearing this, Xishun immediately walked down the steps and took it from Long Lin.
When he returned to the emperor, the emperor did not take it.
"Xishun, read it and let everyone listen."
After hearing this, Xishun turned around respectfully and opened the memorial in his hand.
After seeing the above content clearly, Xishun was immediately shocked.
But he didn't hesitate and started reading loudly.
The first thing shocked all the ministers in the dynasty.
Long Lin hosted a banquet for Long Ao and ordered the raids on Long Ao's mansion.
The ministers below immediately began to whisper, looking at Long Lin with eyes full of anger, and most of their mouths were filled with accusations.
These sounds are not too loud, but not too quiet either, just audible.
"This is simply the opposite. Just ransack your home without any reason?"
"It's outrageous. This is simply illegal, and the behavior is worse than bandits."
"If you want to confiscate your home, you can confiscate it? We are still relatives of the emperor, so won't we be treated even more harshly in the future?"
"This is too much. Under such circumstances, such a thing could happen."
...
Voices of accusation echoed in the mouths of the ministers.
Among the people who made the most violent noise were the dozens of ministers in the cabinet.
When the people behind saw this, they were naturally full of words of agreement.
Under such a situation, Xishun naturally stopped, not knowing what to do.
He had seen a lot of things in the court, but this was the first time for him to see such a bizarre thing in Jinghai during the court meeting.
Regarding these, Long Lin was very calm, with no trace of anger in his eyes, just like the person those people said was not him at all.
He could hear all the words about cruelty, ulterior motives, etc., but in his heart, he didn't seem to have a trace of anger.
He even didn't want to say anything more.
The emperor saw all the following reactions.
His expression gradually became darker.
After noisy for a while, it gradually became quiet again.
Xishun looked at the emperor, and after seeing the emperor nod, he spoke again.
What happened next was everything found in the mansion.
After hearing this, the officials all fell silent and kept silent, but their expressions and the way they looked at Long Lin were still full of dissatisfaction.
This time there was no interruption. Xishun recited it for a long time before finishing it.
Xishun recited the evil deeds Guang Long Ao had done for a long time, and finally he recited the matter of killing Long Ao.
This incident indeed happened at the end.
The emperor's expression clearly showed anger.
"Long Lin, why did you want to behead Long Ao in public?"
This voice was obviously questioning, and everyone could naturally hear the anger in the voice.
After hearing this, Long Lin showed a slight smile on his lips.
"Father, if you don't kill a person with such evil deeds, the people will not be angry, and if you don't kill him, it won't be enough to comfort the souls of the dead."
"Long Lin, don't you know that he is your cousin, and also my nephew, and the son of Prince Jing's family. Even if he deserves to die, he should be handed over to Dali Palace for verification before being punished. Who gave it to you?
The power? Let you act like this?"
The anger in the emperor's eyes was clearly visible.
After hearing this, Long Lin didn't have a trace of fear in his heart.
He has no shame in his heart, so why should he be afraid of heaven and earth?
"Father, destroying the bandits is not something you asked your sons to do?"
"I asked you to destroy the bandits, but did I ask you to directly confiscate Long Ao's mansion?"
The emperor's questioning voice followed closely.
After hearing this, Long Lin raised his head firmly.
"All the bandits in the four states are under the control of Long Ao. If it weren't for the fireworks at Long Ao's mansion, how could it be possible to wipe out the bandits easily? This is really a last resort."
"Long Lin, do you understand your guilt?"
"Father, I don't know."
After saying this, the emperor immediately stood up.
"Someone, take Long Lin down and put him in a prison to await his fate."
The emperor's cold voice sounded directly in the hall.
