What Lin Yi has to do now is to try every means to make the emperor think that the blood demon is a liar. Even if it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, he can't care so much.
Lin Yi was also glad that he rushed in front of the Blood Demon to see the Emperor.
Otherwise, with the blood demon's wisdom, another rain will surely confuse the emperor.
Lin Yi said: "Yes. The Blood Ancestor is the Kunlun Demon who escaped from Kunlun Mountain. Now many people have listened to the slander and been deceived. However, most people regard it as nonsense."
The emperor said: "But as far as I know, the Blood Ancestor made it rain in front of tens of thousands of people in Yunzhou. This shows that he has the ability to control wind and rain."
Lin Yi said: "Your Majesty, I was also present when the Kunlun Demon rained. To be honest with the Emperor, this Kunlun Demon has high martial arts skills, profound knowledge, and the ability to observe celestial phenomena. He could tell from the celestial phenomena which day it would rain, so he set up the altar in a mysterious way.
Praying for rain. The people didn’t know the truth, so they were deceived by him. His intention was sinister, that is, to make people regard him as a god and then plot evil..."
Despite Lin Yi's detailed explanation, the emperor still held out hope that the Blood Demon was a god.
Maybe the emperor didn't want his dream of immortality to come to nothing.
The temptation is too great.
The emperor said: "Perhaps the rain he made in Yunzhou was really based on magic power."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I can also use magic."
The emperor said: "Can you also control the wind and rain?"
Lin Yi said: "Yes."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested and his mood became high. He looked at Lin Yi, his eyes shining and said: "Seeing is believing. One day you will make it rain in front of me and all the officials. I will believe you. And all the officials will do the same."
If they believe you, the people will also believe you."
Lin Yi said: "Okay. But I also have to prepare. The Blood Ancestor has also been preparing for many days."
The emperor said: "Okay!"
Then the conversation between the two returned to Dongmen Tiehu.
The emperor said: "You beg me to pardon Dongmen Tiehu for his innocence. But General Shangguan, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Punishment all signed a copy of him. I have to give an explanation. Also, even if Dongmen Tiehu did not collaborate with the enemy, he was negligent.
Duty is iron-clad. No matter what the reason is. If Dongmen Tiehu is not guilty and sets a precedent, then all the officials in the court can find excuses, dead father, dead mother, dead son, dead wife, and then leave without authorization.
How unbecoming."
Lin Yi thought about it, and the emperor was right. The king of a country should consider things more carefully.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
The emperor said: "Tell me and listen."
Lin Yi said: "The crime of collaborating with the enemy can be exempted, but the evidence is insufficient. The crime of leaving one's post without permission can be dismissed from his post in recognition of his merits, and there will be no further investigation."
The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Since you don't want a heavy reward to intercede for Dongmen Tiehu, then I will obey you. I will do as you say."
So the emperor ordered someone to draw up a decree and ask someone to hand it over to Zhongshumen.
The implementation of the imperial edict also requires a process.
Then Lin Yi drank with the emperor and talked. Lin Yi also told the emperor about the assassination of the Tubo King. The intense and thrilling process of assassinating the king made the emperor and Teng Bin feel thrilling and heartbroken after listening to it.
The emperor also greatly praised the three heroes who helped Lin Yi, Miao Xue, Qin Guangmin, and Xiaotongzi.
Lin Yi also took the opportunity to plead for Miao Xue.
Lin Yi said: "Miaoxue is called the Hell Monk, which is a nickname given by the enemy. Because Miaoxue killed countless enemies, the enemies were afraid and hated him. Therefore, Miaoxue was portrayed as a devil. Miaoxue originally made trouble in the capital just to kill.
Li Chao has no evil intentions. Miao Xue has a very high reputation in the world."
The emperor drank a glass of wine and said with emotion: "I thought the hell monk was a heinous person. I really wronged him. Since he is a man who serves the country and is an eminent monk, I will not pursue Miaoxue anymore. I will restore Miaoxue's reputation."
Will praise Shaolin."
Lin Yi said happily: "I thank the Lord for Miaoxue's kindness!"
After drinking, Lin Yi left because he still had important things to do.
After Lin Yi left, the emperor said to Teng Bin: "Lin Yi said that the Blood Ancestor was the Kunlun Demon, a crazy demon. But the minister of Dali Temple and the Grand Master said that the Blood Ancestor was a man from two hundred years ago. The Grand Master was my mentor.
You should not lie to me. Lin Yi is loyal and courageous. For the sake of my country and the country, he even generously went thousands of miles to assassinate the enemy king during the national crisis. He should not lie to me. I am really confused now. I don’t know what is right and what is wrong.”
When it came to the emperor's mentor, Teng Bin did not dare to make a hasty conclusion, saying that the grand master was lying.
Teng Bin said: "Your Majesty, whether it is right or wrong, I will check it secretly first. Also, Lin Yi said that he can also make rain. If he really makes it rain, then the truth will be revealed whether the Blood Ancestor is a human or a god. If
If Lin Yijiang doesn't rain, then the Blood Ancestor may really be a god."
The emperor nodded slightly and said: "Yes, if Lin Yi can also make rainfall, then it will be clear. However, I still want to meet this blood ancestor. I am very curious about him. You can arrange it..."
Teng Bin said: "I must make arrangements properly."
…
Lin Yi left the palace, while Dongmen Xing and Xun Luo were anxiously waiting for news outside the palace.
When the two saw Lin Yi coming out, they hurried forward to greet him.
Dongmen Xing asked: "King Lin, how is my father's matter?"
Lin Yi said: "The crime of collaborating with the enemy is completely unfounded. Your Majesty will not pursue the case. But for leaving your post without permission, there must be an explanation. I suggest that the Emperor remove Mr. Dongmen from his official position and not pursue it again. In this way, Mr. Dongmen will be lighthearted without an official position.
I have no distractions to deal with the blood demons. If the minister of Dali Temple is of the blood demon clan, it will be very dangerous for Mr. Dongmen to continue to stay in the Xingba Yamen. Moreover, even the minister of the punishment department has made trouble. The water is too deep. Fortunately, I don’t want to be an official. I won’t have to do it again.
Something unexpected happened. Now the emperor has issued an order, and Mr. Dongmen can be released tomorrow."
Dongmen Xing said: "Prince Lin, you are so thoughtful! This official position really cannot be done!"
Dongmen Tiehu was fine, and both Dongmen Xing and Xun Luo were very happy. They quickly thanked Lin Yi.
Lin Yi said: "I still have something important to do now. You can do something for me. This matter is extremely important and affects success or failure."
Dongmen Xing said: "Prince Lin, please give me your instructions! Even if we die, we can get the job done!"
Lin Yi said: "There is no need for you to die. You immediately mobilize all your manpower to find a strange person who is well versed in weather changes and can observe the stars. Moreover, you must not make it public. Inform the little boys and them again and let them look for it. The sooner you do this, the better."
good!"
Although Dongmen Xing and Xun Luo didn't know Lin Yi's intentions, Lin Yi said it was a matter of success or failure, and they suddenly felt a heavy responsibility.
Dongmen Xing said: "King Lin, leave this matter to us. I will gather everyone to look for such a strange person now."
Dongmen Xing and Xun Luo left immediately, and Lin Yi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.
Lin Yi said to the gatekeeper: "Please inform the prime minister that Lin Yi has something to ask for."
The gatekeeper went to report it.
After a while, a steward from the Prime Minister's Mansion came out and took Lin Yi into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The steward led Lin Yi into a living room.
In the middle of the living room, Prime Minister Lu was sitting at attention.
Behind Prime Minister Lu stood a man.
It was Lu Wei who was at the exit of the Shouyun Palace underground palace.
Lu Wei usually guarded the Cloud Palace and rarely returned to his home. Now that he has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it can be seen that something big has happened.
