Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

For several days, Su Yi returned home safely, and Lin Shu forgot a lot of what Xiao Yan said.

It was the morning of July 250th, Long Yuanguo [-].

Su Yi got up as usual and prepared for morning service.

At this time, the sky outside the window was very dark, and the dark clouds seemed to be about to come down. It was dark and low, making people breathless. From time to time, there were deafening thunder and dazzling lightning, which gave people a sense of wonder. An eerie feeling.

Soon, the early morning rain began to fall.

The sound of rain and thunder came one after another, which made Lin Shu feel depressed. She was anxious, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Lin Shu, who was helping Su Yi tidy up his court clothes, looked at the shadows of trees floating outside the window and said:

"Husband, you must remember to do more and talk less. You promised me that you will think twice before doing anything."

Su Yi scratched Lin Shu's nose with her finger and said playfully:

"Little fool, it's been so long, are you still thinking about that nightmare? Don't I come back safely every day?"

Lin Shu threw herself into Su Yi's arms and hugged Su Yi tightly.

The more Su Yi wanted to leave, the more uneasy Lin Shu felt. She always felt that something bad was going to happen.

At this time in Duke Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Yan woke up early and looked at the lightning and thunder outside the window. He felt very happy because he had been looking forward to this day for a long time and it had finally arrived.

Wang Jingxuan died, Xiao Yan's mother suffered a stroke, and Xiao Yan was very bored alone in Xiao Mansion.

So, Xiao Yan asked Wang Xiaowu to take out the chessboard and let Wang Xiaowu play chess with him to kill the hard time.

Lin Shu and Su Yi hugged for a while. Due to time constraints, Su Yi had to let go of Lin Shu. According to past habits, Su Yi kissed Lin Shu on the forehead and took a carriage to go to court.

As soon as the officials entered the palace, they saw Emperor Lan sitting on the dragon chair in a rage and throwing a memorial among the officials.

"My dear friends, take a good look. This is the King Lin who you asked me to let go. He swallowed 100 million taels of disaster silver."

The Lord Protector has a high status and is very courageous. Even the Supreme Emperor will be a little in awe of him.

The Protector picked up the memorial that Emperor Lan had thrown on the ground. Sure enough, what was written on it was to report to King Lin.

"Why would a prince hoard money? His brother from the same mother also hoarded money before the rebellion, because only with money can he recruit soldiers and horses, and only with money can he buy weapons. I think he has a disobedient heart and wants to follow suit. His brother rebelled against me like that."

Emperor Lan was so angry that all the officials below looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them dared to stand up easily.

Even the Protector fell into deep thought when he saw this memorial, because Emperor Lan was right, if it wasn't a rebellion, why would he be greedy for so much money.

The 100 million taels were previously distributed by the imperial court to help the victims. At that time, Emperor Lan was still the crown prince and had not yet ascended the throne. The Supreme Emperor sent Prince Lin out to rescue the victims of the earthquake and sent his own son there. Firstly, it was to demonstrate the royal family's care for the people. The second concern was to keep Prince Lin away from the capital. After all, the Sixth Prince was the biological brother of Prince Lin's mother. The Supreme Emperor knew that Prince Lin did not know about it, so he let Prince Lin go and transferred Prince Lin far away.

Afterwards, when Emperor Lan found out, it was of no avail, because there was really no evidence to prove that Prince Lin participated in or knew about the rebellion of the Sixth Prince. In addition, since the royal family had few heirs, the ministers also advised Emperor Lan to let Prince Lin go and give him a barren fief. Let King Lin fend for himself.

But it has only been half a year, and someone has reported that Prince Lin was corrupt. If an ordinary person is corrupt, the most he can do is suspend his duties and investigate, and recover the money that was embezzled. After fighting for fifty years, those who are less corrupt will be imprisoned for a few years, and those who are more corrupt will be imprisoned for a few years. exile.

It's different for princes or princes. Once they are greedy, they are likely to recruit troops and follow the rhythm of rebellion, so you can't blame Lan Emperor for being angry.

"How do you think King Lin should be dealt with?" Emperor Lan asked the question to the civil and military officials, hoping to kill King Lin as a matter of course.

Some people who liked to flatter Emperor Lan and understood what he meant showed a look of loyalty and said to Emperor Lan:

"Back to the Emperor, you were kind enough to let King Lin go. I didn't expect that King Lin would not repay his kindness and even greedily took the money to buy the lives of the people in the disaster area. Such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust person should be beheaded in public to express his gratitude to the public. Be a warning to others.”

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

……

For a while, many officials agreed.

A very few sober-minded people like Su Yi knew that it was just a rumor passed down by people below. It had not been verified and there was no evidence to prove that Prince Lin was greedy.

What's more, although Prince Lin and the Sixth Prince are brothers from the same mother, their relationship is average. Because the Sixth Prince is arrogant and thinks that he is the only one worthy of sitting on the throne, he spends a lot of time and money preparing to rebel. Therefore, it is impossible for Prince Lin to take revenge on Emperor Lan for the sake of the Sixth Prince.

Unless King Lin wants to rebel and sit on the throne himself under the guise of revenge for his brother.

But if it was true that Prince Lin was greedy for ink, who had bad intentions to make Emperor Lan feel suspicious.

At this time, many people had already stood up one after another, thinking that Emperor Lan should behead King Lin in public.

When Lan Di heard the answer he wanted, the look on his face softened a lot.

"Since all the beloved ministers have no objections, I will issue an order to let Dali Temple handle this matter. After capturing King Lin back to the capital, he will behead him in the vegetable market. If he stubbornly resists, he will be executed."

Hearing what Emperor Lan said, Su Yi stood up. He thought that Emperor Lan had made an arbitrary decision. It was too unruly to make such a decree based on just a memorial. He should at least send someone to check the truth of the matter. Fake.

In the last life, it was also at this time that Su Yi stood up. At that time, in addition to the Duke Protector and some two-generation elders standing in the hall, Xiao Yan was also present.

Many of these people grew up watching Emperor Lan. Young people like Xiao Yan grew up with Emperor Lan. They are all familiar with Emperor Lan’s character. Even if they have objections, they will not raise them at this time. come out.

Because bringing it up at this time will only aggravate him and make Emperor Lan think that he and Prince Lin are accomplices.

Then Su Yi became an official in the court for less than two months, and he was not involved in many things. He was still an ambitious young man with lofty ambitions.

So at this time in the last life, Su Yi also stood up like this, immediately expressed his opinion, and suggested that Emperor Lan take back his life, and there is no rush to execute Prince Lin after the truth is found out.

When Su Yi finished speaking, Emperor Lan's face turned dark instantly.

So Lan Emperor roared angrily and asked if anyone had the same idea as Su Yi. As a result, everyone else knelt down when they saw Lan Emperor getting angry. Even Xiao Yan from the previous life did not stand up.

In this way, Su Yi was imprisoned as an accomplice of Prince Lin. Finally, Xiao Yan and several respected senators went to the Imperial Study Room alone to persuade Emperor Lan to persuade him. Emperor Lan slowly regained his senses and sent Xiao Yan to investigate. the truth.

"Su Aiqing, do you have any objections?" Landi stared at Su Yi displeasedly. Su Yi stood up as soon as he finished speaking. Could it be that he wanted to veto his order?
