Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Long'an looked at Luo Rong and He Zhenzhi with a livid face as they besieged Lin Ruhai.

"It's just a child's play that doesn't make sense. It's whimsical and naughty, but how can it become a heinous crime?"

"Who in the world can believe that a group of young people can kill a high-ranking official who has been in power for twenty years?"

"Did Mr. Lin suffer any injuries? Not even a scratch on his skin, right?"

"Look at Jia Qiang again. For such a trivial matter, she killed thousands of people wearing embroidered clothes and guarding thousands of households in the street. She also arbitrarily arrested court officials and used cruel methods to beat them!"

"Later, because of some drunken remarks, they went into a big fight, and the methods were so cruel and outrageous!"

"Now, it's so ridiculous to force a dignified military aviation scholar to resign!"

"A good disciple taught by Master Lin! If I don't punish him severely, I'm afraid all the officials will be dissatisfied!"

"Yes, why bother bringing the matter to this level? If it continues, what will be the dignity of the court?"

"As the emperor's most trusted minister, Mr. Lin should have the heart to maintain the dignity of the imperial court. If he is really wronged, he should put the overall situation first."

Lin Ruhai looked indifferent, smiled slightly, and said: "After all, we must put the national law first."

They are allowed to speak eloquently, but now that there are witnesses and confessions, how can they be allowed to confuse right and wrong?

Just when He Zhen, Luo Rong and others were about to say something, Dai Quan came in and whispered to Emperor Long'an: "Master, the Queen wants to see you."

Emperor Long'an hesitated after hearing this: "What did you say?"

Under the Yanzu system, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

Even though she is a queen, there is no precedent for her to be involved in political affairs.

Dai Quan whispered: "It may be because of the fifth prince and Ninghou..."

After hearing this, Emperor Long'an hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let the queen come in with those two bastards."

Dai Quan hurriedly responded and turned around to go out.

Soon after returning, Queen Yin led Li Xuan and Jia Qiang inside.

Seeing Queen Yin's appearance, all the military masters and important officials in the court changed their expressions and frowned.

Even Lin Ruhai's face turned solemn and her eyes were solemn.

However, after Empress Yin led Li Xuan and Jia Qiang to bow to Emperor Long'an, she actually turned around and knelt down with Jing Chaoyun, Luo Rong, He Zhen, Zhao Dongshan, Chu Xiang, Song Zhou, Tian Fu and others.

Said: "I broke the taboo this time and came here not to participate in political affairs. I just heard that today's incident was all caused by my alleged marriage. I felt really guilty, so I brought these two useless and ignorant children.

I'd like to apologize to some of the adults and apologize."

Seeing him like this, Jing Chaoyun and others' expressions changed drastically, and they all moved out of the way.

Li Xuan became even more angry and said loudly: "Mother, today it is clear that their children scolded the queen, saying that the queen was so powerful that she lost her wits, so she gave her cousin to Jia Qiang. They also said that it is natural for a mute to mate with a bastard, and they also scolded the queen and grandmother..."

Jia Qiang also said angrily: "Mother, these people are despicable and shameless. They raised Gao Yanei and persecuted Zhongliang, but instead they beat them up!"

"shut up!"

Queen Yin turned around and scolded sternly: "But although the drunken words were disrespectful, how could they be justified by your wantonness? Why don't you apologize to your lords? Why, can't I ask you to apologize on your behalf? Li Xuan, Jia

Qiang?”

However, before Jia Qiang and Li Xuan, who were filled with grief and anger, could move, Jing Chaoyun, who had always been able to maintain the appearance of the chief minister, was now breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He knelt down on the ground, took off his official hat, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, today we are all dogs and other beasts. They are in a daze and deserve to die! They listened to Kang Ye, son of Minister Kang, and Chang Ce, son of Dr. Chang."

They were bewitched and harbored ill intentions towards Mr. Lin, and they were beaten like that. It was all their own fault! Mr. Lin was magnanimous and did not care about them, but I thought, how could such a shocking thing be let go? I suggested that the five people be deprived of their power.

The honors are awarded outside the capital and will never be employed. As for the Queen... Who in the world knows about the Queen's virtuous reputation? I never expected that these beasts would even dare to criticize the Queen!"

Queen Yin comforted her softly and said: "Master Jing's words are serious. Your son and others are just young and energetic. They just made a blunder after drinking. How can I take it seriously?"

Jing Chaoyun hurriedly said loudly: "Although the empress is kind and benevolent, her mother is respected by the world, but these beasts who don't know loyalty and filial piety must not be spared lightly even if they are not beaten to death. If the empress insists on pardoning them, then, veteran

I have no face to be a military scholar anymore. I can’t even raise my own son well, so how can I stand in the court?” After that, kowtow again!

Luo Rong, He Zhen and others understood why Jing Chaoyun was so restless.

Empress Yin's reputation as a virtuous empress spread all over the world, especially among scholars. Compared with descendants of the Tian family, Empress Yin can be called the most virtuous empress in ancient and modern times!

With such fame, Queen Yin ended up taking a step back for the first time.

He was obviously humiliated and scolded by a group of bastards who were drunk and drunk, but instead he was trying to apologize to them...

If you take this step back, you will die!

Jing Chaoyun thought that with his official reputation, he could not afford such an apology.

Queen Yin's gift could even wipe away the reputation he had accumulated over more than ten years as prime minister!

Looking at Emperor Long'an who is already on the verge of bursting into rage after the imperial case, who dares to talk nonsense?

After Jing Chaoyun knelt down, Luo Rong, He Zhen, Song Zhou, Tian Fu, Zhao Dongshan, Chu Xiang and Lin Ruhai all knelt down.

Next, it will be a matter of course...

Kang Ye, the son of Kan De, will be executed!

Chang Jin's son Chang Ce, beheaded!

Kant and Chang Jin were unable to teach their children well, so they were dismissed from office and sent back to their hometown!

All other fifth-rank, seventh-rank and other minor officials who participated in the siege of Lin Ruhai and were recorded will be dismissed from office and exiled.

Jing Nan, Zhao Boyuan, Zhao Boxu, Chu Gao, and Tian Hui, those who have official positions will be dismissed from their posts, and those who do not have official positions will receive honors. Those who do not even have honors will be directly exiled!

Jing Chaoyun, Tian Fu, Zhao Dongshan and Chu Xiang were punished for their lax education and were fined one year's salary. They would then personally apologize to Lin Ruhai.

…

Queen Yin came forward and became the last straw to break the lawsuit.

Although she might have been punished like this if she didn't come forward, the impact and backlash on Emperor Long'an, Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang would definitely be considerable.

Queen Yin stepped forward and eliminated such backlash.

This is the prestige of Empress Yin who has been honoring the world as a mother for many years, abides by her duties, and has a virtuous reputation throughout the government and the public!

Of course, the basis of this public case is that Jia Qiang grabbed the opponent's sore leg and forced her to fight with her life, and Lin Ruhai's reputation as an official for twenty years was the foundation.

The combination of all these factors led to the defeat of Jing Chaoyun and other groups of people who clearly had power over everything!

so……

After everything was agreed upon, Emperor Long'an finally remembered the great hero and asked Jia Qiang: "Jia Qiang, what else do you have to say? Do you feel aggrieved by this matter?"

Jia Qiang had a serious face and said loudly: "I dare not and will not lie in front of the emperor, so of course I have something to say..."

"Jia Qiang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Queen Yin interrupted with a smile: "Didn't Master Lin teach you the principles of being strict with yourself and being lenient to others?"

Lin Ruhai also said softly: "Qiang'er, that's all. A gentleman is tolerant but not arrogant, honest but not harsh, arguing but not fighting, observing but not agitating, upright but not victorious, strong but not violent... Just be merciful when you have to."

"

After Jia Qiang was silent for a while, she lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to say anything more about this case. I don't know much about the affairs of the adults. But I want to say a few words to Mr. Jing and the others..."

Emperor Long'an narrowed his eyes, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "What do you want to say?"

Jing Chaoyun bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Ning would like to say a few words to me. I will naturally listen attentively."

All the purple-clad officials who were in charge of the highest power in this huge empire looked at Jia Qiang with indifferent eyes.

Today was a blow to them, even a somewhat heavy blow.

But, it didn’t hurt the root!

After today, they are still the masters of this huge empire. In short, countless people are working for it.

Of course, the imperial power is supreme, but if the imperial power wants to reach the world, it must rely on them.

In the process of reaching the world, imperial power must also be interpreted into their thoughts.

They still looked down upon Jia Qiang.

After this period of limelight, some accounts will have to be settled sooner or later.

Then you heard Jia Qiang's cold voice, along with the faint sound of copper bells ringing from the pagoda outside the hall, reaching your ears:

"I am young and inexperienced. I have little knowledge and insight, and I am even more superficial and ignorant about the affairs of the court. But I think that no matter how different the political opinions are in the court, all of you will still be ministers of the same court, loyal to the emperor, and common people in the world. Serve.

Even if we have different opinions, we will ultimately achieve the same goal through different paths. Even if we really cannot tolerate the family mentor, you who serve as officials can remove him from office, expel him from the court, or even expel him from the capital.

However, I really can't figure it out. What kind of hatred and hate do you have to use such despicable methods to harm people?

Don’t you, gentlemen, think about it, the one who started the figurines has no descendants?!”

The last eight words, a torrent of sound, resounded throughout the hall.

Luo Rong frowned when he heard this and said coldly: "Ninghou, those who do this have already been punished. I think no one will do this again in the future."

Jia Qiang said coldly: "Is it true that all the murderers have received the punishment they deserve? Luo Xiang knows it very well. What's the point of saying this? But Luo Xiang doesn't need to think too much. Now that the matter is over, I, Jia Qiang, Qiang Nan'er is a man who doesn't even bother to settle old scores!
