God-level impostor

Chapter 267 Meeting
After breaking the right minister Zhongqing's leg, Lin Chen went back to the secret room to practice as if nothing had happened.

But this incident caused an uproar in the palace, Longshui City, and even Lin Chen's fiefdom.

Lin Zhennan was most worried. He secretly blamed Lin Chen for being too impulsive. After all, Zhongqing came here by the emperor's order. Even if the conversation was unpleasant, it would not break his legs.

This incident was widely spread among the people. After all, many people saw Zhongqing being carried out.Lin Chen did not deliberately hide it from anyone, and the people knew the cause and effect.

Most people are worried that Xiaoyao Wang will be punished, and may even cause him great trouble.After all, in the past hundred years of Dayan, there has never been a precedent for Xiangye to be broken by the prince.

They all prayed that Lin Chen could escape this catastrophe safely, because under Lin Chen's rule, no officials dared to oppress the people, and no local tyrants dared to do evil in Lin Chen's fiefdom, so the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Moreover, many people who relocated from other places have invested a large amount of money here, bought properties and opened shops, because they are optimistic about the environment provided by Lin Chen and the prosperity of the fief.

Lin Chen didn't even bother to think about this. He entered the secret room and practiced day and night.His own Yuan Power became stronger day by day, until two months later, he finally cultivated the fire attribute Yuan Power to the Great Perfection state.Turn to practice metal energy.

Another half month passed, and on this day Lin Chen was called out again by the ringtone, and it was still his father Lin Zhennan.

"Chen'er, Marshal Xiang is visiting, saying that he has something important to discuss." Lin Zhennan saw Lin Chen coming out of the secret room, and explained the situation directly.

Lin Chen went to the room and changed into casual clothes, and led Xiang Wuchou, who was also in casual clothes, to the study in the reception hall.

After the tea was served, Lin Chen closed the door, looked at Xiang Wuchou with a worried face and smiled, "Marshal Xiang, what made you so worried?"

"It's a good thing you can still laugh, you are too courageous." Looking at Lin Chen's smile, Xiang Wuchou was quite speechless.

"I know this. I've always been quite courageous, and I've done a lot of things. I don't know which thing Xiang Shuai is talking about? Jishun City? Jingning City? Or did you break Right Prime Minister Zhongqing's leg?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

Xiang Wuchou smiled wryly, "Can these three things be separated? Did the prince consider the consequences at that time?"

Lin Chen said, "I didn't think about it, anyway, I'll just follow the consequences."

Xiang Wuchou shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid the matter is not as simple as you think. At the time when Zhongqing joined forces with the courtiers to impeach you, the Holy Majesty agreed to investigate this matter due to the situation. It is really impossible to continue to cover up. Originally, I wanted to let Zhongqing Go to investigate, but you can't get back the evidence, and finally let it go. But, you actually broke his leg."

Lin Chen said nonchalantly, "Breaking one of his legs is a act of kindness on my part, otherwise...he would still have the life to go back?"

Xiang Wuchou was at a loss for words for a while, and then said again after a while, "But...do you know what happened after he returned to court?"

"Come to Marshal, what is next is the key point, right?" Lin Chen gave up the tea and took a sip himself.

"Exactly."

Xiang Wuchou said, "After the right minister Zhongqing returned to the court, he first sued you in front of the imperial court, and then jointly urged more than 30 courtiers to impeach you again."

"There are so many people? Can Marshal Xiang bring the list?" Lin Chen asked with a half-smile.

Pointing at Lin Chen, Xiang Wuchou joked, "You still think it's not a big deal, and you plan to discount a leg for each person? But the old man didn't bring the list. It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that it has a great influence on you, brother. "

"Appreciate further details."

"The right minister, Zhongqing, begged the Holy One to punish my younger brother. His original intention was to make the big things smaller, and he emphasized your important role in guarding the frontier. He only wanted to reduce your salary and punish him. But the courtiers mobilized by Zhongqing were not relentless, because you are the king of Xiaoyao I don't care about the little salary at all, it doesn't hurt or itch. Those people say that now that the Jin Dynasty has just undergone civil strife, it has no power to invade the south, and the stability of the northern border is not the reason for your Xiaoyao Wang. Of course, it means the stability of the northern border. It has nothing to do with me, the King of Zhenbei, it’s just Dajin’s own problem.”

"This statement is quite novel. So, is it Lin who has erased Marshal Xiang's achievements?" Lin Chen laughed.

"It's nothing to do with merit, it's just that the Holy Majesty was a little tolerant in handling this matter, and finally agreed to the right minister's suggestion. The old man was transferred back to the court, and the throne of Zhenbei remained unchanged. He also took care of some chores in the Ministry of War. The soldiers and horses will be under the control of Zhongqing's younger brother... Zhongtao. And you, King Xiaoyao, will have to leave the fief for a year and a half to observe the situation of the Jin Dynasty. If there is still no sign of the Jin Dynasty's invasion of the south during this period of time, I'm afraid the situation of my brother It's very bad." Xiang Wuchou said in one breath.

"Is the Holy One so ruthless? Is Zhong Qing so powerful?" Lin Chen asked with a frown.

Xiang Wuchou couldn't answer these words, after all, Lin Chen was criticizing the Holy Spirit.

However, he changed the subject and said, "The Zhong family is a wealthy family in Dayan. His father used to be an old minister in the court. There are many old friends in the court. The younger brother came from a foreign country and has no roots. He suddenly ascended the throne. Many people are dissatisfied in their hearts. Moreover, the Holy One will find another excuse to transfer you away. For this reason, the crown prince will also be criticized by the courtiers, and his prestige will be greatly reduced. After all, your throne is sponsored by the crown prince. It's not good."

Lin Chen pondered, "Regarding the matter of Jingning City and Jishun City, has the Holy One held the officials accountable? Dayan officials run rampant in the village, and the people's grievances are not small!"

Xiang Wuchou sighed, "Of course the Holy Majesty knows some things, but these two cities are not the only cases. Many officials are like this. Their relationship with the courtiers is intricate. If they want to move, they will affect the whole body. The Holy Majesty does not dare to act rashly. Once The interest of the courtiers will be damaged, and the Yan Kingdom of Nuoda will be paralyzed. So you can kill the unjust officials with iron and blood, the Holy One is not really angry, but the courtiers are united, and the Holy One can't bear the pressure. The main reason is that you didn't deal with it at will. The right of officials to inquire about crimes belongs to arbitrariness."

"Arbitrary power or not, my brothers are persecuted in Jingning City and Jishun City, I have to take care of them, no matter how powerful they are, I will make a move." Lin Chen's voice became colder and colder.

"We still have to exercise restraint!"

Xiang Wuchou persuaded, "In my opinion, old brother, I will give in to the right minister at the right time, and see how I can calm him down. With the Holy One in the middle to mediate, Zhongqing will not be too tough, after all Your Majesty has already promised Princess Blue Star to you, it is a family."

"Thank you, I have sent messages to the marshal many times. I know this matter well, but I am really sorry that the marshal has been involved in leaving northern Xinjiang." Lin Chengcheng said.

"It's okay, actually the old man just wants to be an idle prince!" Xiang Wuchou laughed out loud.

"Go...to Marshal, it's a rare meeting, let's have a drink!" Lin Chen warmly invited.

"My brother also has the same intention..."

The two walked out of the study together.
