Prince Zhou Chen, the only prince who survived the war to seize the rightful son, was saved because he knew how to give in. It was also because he pretended to be stupid that Zhou Yin felt confident and made him a prince. The purpose was to keep him low-key and sensible.
When doing things, he didn't expect that once Zhou Fu's talent was revealed, his ambition could no longer be hidden.
Lin Su wanted to accuse Lin Su aggressively and led 300 soldiers.
When the soldiers arrived in front of the Zhenpin Hall, Zhou Chen saw the door wide open and there were only 5 people inside. Lin Su stood in front and bowed his hands, "Greetings to the prince."
Zhou Chen brushed aside the people in front of him and strode into Zhenpin Hall. He couldn't help but ask the question, "Did you hurt my person?"
Lin Su nodded slightly, "Yes."
Zhou Chen scolded him coldly, "In that case, now that the king is here, why don't you die to apologize?"
Lin Su shook his head, "General, I have a duty, and I have no intention of acknowledging my guilt with death for the time being. Why don't you ask me why I let someone injure your soldiers?"
"Is it important?" Zhou Chen was furious, "Even if the people in the Prince's Palace make mistakes, it is not their turn to be disciplined. Someone, chop off their hands and feet and hang them at the east city gate for everyone to watch."
Lin Su was also helpless. Such a arrogant person was rare. If such a person were left in the rivers and lakes, the grass on his grave would be three feet high. He dug into the mustard bag and said, "Your Majesty, let's see what this is.
"
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't care about you... Plop, long live the emperor brother."
The people behind him also shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live my emperor."
Lin Su turned his head to one side and said to Ding Jiu: "Go to Jingzhao Yamen and ask the governor of Jingzhao to come. Lin wants to see whether this world belongs to the emperor or to the prince."
"Wait a minute." Prince Cheng said coldly: "Young general, please keep a secret line so that we can meet each other in the future. I am also a bit mean-spirited in the capital. If you are willing to hide this matter, I will definitely look good on your behalf in front of your brother.
Just a few words, it’s no big deal to get promoted to a higher position when the time comes, so why do you have to do everything so well?”
Lin Su sneered: "That's ridiculous. Your Majesty, it's you who have done everything right, why do you still blame others? As for being promoted to a higher position, haha, the last general holds a gold medal. You should know the weight of it. If you exchange a gold medal with His Majesty for a position,
, Sangong didn’t dare to say, but Jiuqing was sure. Holding the gold medal, “It’s like I’m here in person.” Does the prince want to say that you want to promote your majesty to a higher rank?”
What he said was very harsh. The emperor is already the supreme authority in the world. To give him an official or a title is a heart-wrenching remark. Do you think your status is still higher than that of the emperor?
Zhou Chen didn't say anything either. He was a prince after all, the prince of the great Zhou Dynasty. He would not bow down and kowtow to beg for mercy like a lowly official. Even if his words were wrong, not a mere boy could punish him.
The gold medal is only "if I were present in person" and does not have the power to resolve the case.
When Tan Zongren, Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture, saw the gold medal in Lin Su's hand, he immediately knelt down and knelt to see it. He was in a state of confusion, wondering about Lin Su's identity and what Prince Cheng had committed, and his heart was cramping randomly.
"Tan Zongren, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture?" Lin Su asked.
"Xia Guan is right." Tan Zongren replied.
Lin Su said: "Lin sued Prince Cheng Zhou Chen. He oppressed the people in the name of collecting rent, which caused resentment among the people in the capital. He beat the people with violence and used power for personal gain. Do you dare to take this case?"
Tan Zongren's calves are cramped. Who dares to take this on? Who is the prince Zhou Chen? The emperor's younger brother and the most beloved one. His son Wuhou Zhoufu won your majesty's approval and intended to be named King Wu. Such kindness
Chong, if he is in charge of the trial now, his life will be at risk even if he offends others.
He raised his head with difficulty, grinned and said: "General, let's talk about the contradiction, why do you need to make it known to the whole world? I don't think your Majesty wants to see his ministers fighting to the death. If you step back, the world will be brighter."
"Do you dare to accept it?" Lin Su asked again.
Tan Zongren's hands were trembling slightly, and he would definitely not accept the answer. "I'm sorry that it is difficult to obey the order. Although the official is the governor of Jingzhao, he cannot violate Taizu's rules. The general has no accusation and no evidence, so he cannot accept it.
.”
Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Who dares to take on my case? No matter Jingzhao Yamen, Dali Temple, Criminal Department or the Forbidden Army, whoever dares to take charge of my case, I guarantee that he will not see the sun the next day. The young general is very happy
OK, enjoy it more."
"Kneel down." As soon as the gold medal was displayed, Zhou Chen's smile disappeared and he immediately knelt down upright.
Lin Su glanced at Tan Zongren, who was speaking plausibly, and hummed: "Since you, the governor of Jingzhao, can't handle Prince Cheng's case, let His Majesty's Sacred Heart rule. Thunder Tiger prepares his horse and enters the palace."
"yes."
At this moment, a eunuch came out and said, "Commander Lin, wait a moment, Your Majesty has an order."
Everyone knelt down to listen to the order.
The eunuch's feminine voice read: "According to the imperial edict of the Emperor, the left commander of the Royal Forest Army, Lin Su Cha Cheng, has committed corruption and bribery, defrauding the people, and the people in the palace have bullied the market and preyed on the people. Order Jingzhao Mansion
Yin Tan Zongren conducted a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Life and Punishment, and the Dali Temple cooperated, and the top is not capped. I admire this!"
"Your Majesty, accept the order!" Tan Zongren was stunned for a moment. This news had clearly not reached the palace yet, but His Majesty already knew that Commander Zuo of the Royal Forest Army, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty has been paying attention to him?
Damn it, how could I refuse his kindness?
The eunuch glanced at Zhou Chen, who looked frightened, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty asked your servant to send you a message. The Queen Mother is getting weaker and weaker in the palace. She misses the prince very much. She should go to the palace to spend more time with her when she has time."
This sentence has a double meaning, it is both a grace and a warning. It is impossible for a prisoner to enter the palace freely, which means that Zhou Yin will absolve him and no longer pursue his crime. But at the same time, it also has another meaning. I think
I only spared you for the sake of the Queen Mother. Her time is short. If you act like this again, no one can save you.
Lin Su was not satisfied with these words. Zhou Chen was the culprit. If he was exempted from the crime, then none of the bad things he had done over the years would be imputed to him. At most, he could find a housekeeper or confidant to take the blame, and he would still be at large.
This was not Lin Su's original intention.
Zhou Yin could take down Zeng Qu, Minister of War, without any scruples, because he made a big mistake, which damaged the prestige of Zhou's army and allowed the barbarians to advance straight in. There was no problem with this result. Even if Zeng Qu was the prince's son, he still could not be exempted from liability, and even the prince
were also affected.
Prince Kecheng and Zhou Chen are different. The crimes he committed can be said to be insignificant. The deaths of a few ordinary people in the city are nothing at all. If there are more people, the Zhou Dynasty will not prosper, and if there are fewer people, the Zhou Dynasty will not decline quickly.
So why offend his biological brother because of a few unimportant people?
Lin Su thought about this, and his chest suddenly became filled with anger. To His Majesty, the people really don't matter? Maybe it does. This world belongs to Zhou Yin, so what do a few people mean to him?
This is the emperor!
The eunuch said again: "Commander Lin, Your Majesty has a decree. Please come to the palace immediately, without delay."
After setting up such a big trap, it would be unreasonable for Zhou Yin not to look for him again. He responded, mounted his horse, and entered the palace at lightning speed.
