The speaker was Lin Shilang, Lin Jiayue's biological father.

Before today, the joke in Ruidu was that the prince of the Zhenxihou Mansion actually got engaged to the granddaughter of a criminal official. What is even more ridiculous is that the daughter of Lin Shangshu and the daughter of the father-in-law were not as good as others, so they lowered their status and went to Yuezhou. City, but didn't even get the title of concubine.

All the ministers secretly laughed at these two adults.

When Minister Lin said this, he was clearly adding insult to injury.

Some people who like to watch the excitement have already set their sights on Zhou Qiong, wanting to see how the prince reacts.

Those upright ministers disagreed and said: "Since the former deputy director of the Imperial Hospital has been deprived of his official position and sent back to his hometown by His Majesty, Mr. Lin should not mention it again. It is not that we don't have other imperial doctors who know acupuncture in Dongrui."

Jin Shangshu also spoke up, "Mr. Lin, you and I don't understand medical science, so we should let the Taiyuan Hospital make up its own mind."

Although Jin Shangshu is his superior, Lin Shilang has already secretly taken refuge with Wu Guogong, so he did not stop talking, but said: "Sir Shangshu, I also want to share your Majesty's worries, and for the sake of Dong Rui, I want to choose a person. He is the most suitable imperial physician to go to Qingzhou to treat epidemic diseases."

"Although Tang Jingmo has bad conduct in his family, his medical skills are really good and he is not very young. If he can go to Qingzhou for treatment, he will be able to redeem himself for his family's sins."

What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, making it impossible to make mistakes.

The ministers who were also members of Duke Wu's Liu family immediately received the message and all agreed: "What Mr. Lin said is reasonable."

"Yes, as the old saying goes, at critical moments, it is feasible to use talents in an eclectic way."

There are also some who remain silent and do not make any comments.

Zhou Qiong's eyes were cold as he scanned the ones shouting the loudest one by one, and finally settled on the face of Minister Lin.

Then, he suddenly smiled.

"What does it mean that a family member is not well behaved? Isn't it true that Lin Shilang didn't feel guilty when he said this?" he asked.

Lin Shilang frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Prince Zhou? What do I have to feel guilty about? I am not the one who was deprived of my official position."

Zhou Qiong gave him a cool look, "In the Ruidu case of selling inferior medicinal materials, the eldest son of the Lin family bought 30,000 taels of shares in the bad medicinal materials shop, and the second son bought 10,000 taels of shares. They were only whipped because you, the father, were in the court. After ten lashes, he was released, and he can still take the scientific examination and become an official in the future, and it will not affect your continued promotion, Mr. Lin."

"As for Tang Yuanzhi, he was only coaxed into investing in the business and invested three hundred taels of shares. Not to mention that he didn't know the inside story of the drug store, and he didn't even get a penny of dividends. As a result, the old doctor Tang was deprived of his official position. The father and son were also sent back to their place of origin together."

Lin Shilang's expression immediately changed, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."

"Are you afraid of people telling you what you've done? You haven't wiped your own butt clean, yet you still have the nerve to accuse others of bad conduct? Who is the bad conductor?"

Lin Shilang said angrily: "My son didn't know the inside story of the drug store. He was all deceived. The Tang family couldn't afford so much money to redeem his son, so he should be punished. My family actually paid the money to compensate the victims." .”

"Yes, you bought 40,000 taels of shares and lost 80,000 taels. You, the Lin family, are really wealthy and have a clean life. Minister Lin, you have only been an official for about ten years, right?"

"you!"

Isn't this an insinuation that he has accepted corruption and bribery? He can't admit it.

Lin Shilang was so anxious that he jumped up and said, "Don't slander me. All the money for compensation for our family was paid by my wife and two daughters-in-law."

As soon as he said these words, his colleagues looked at him with strange expressions.

Immediately and with hindsight, I realized that I had said the wrong thing.

Just as he was about to make up for it, Zhou Qiong said another sentence, "It turns out that the Lin family lives on the dowry of the female family members. No wonder the food and clothing are not bad. Otherwise, how could Mr. Lin have a son and raise a child with his salary?" Concubine, if you don’t have money, you can’t be like Mr. Tang and be kicked out of Ruidu.”

This sentence was like a hard slap on Lin Shilang's face. He really couldn't bear the anger, but he couldn't go up and hit him, so he had to kneel down in front of His Majesty and cried sadly: "Your Majesty, Prince Zhou is cruel and slanderous, please make the decision for me."

Before Emperor Tai'an could speak, Zhou Qiong said again: "I asked why Miss Lin was so unruly in Yuezhou City. She just shamelessly came to see her husband again and again, and finally led someone to break into her residence. It turns out that I have inherited my father’s style, and Mr. Lin’s habit of crying when he disagrees with me is exactly the same as your wife!”

"You! You!" Lin Shilang's whole body was shaking and he was about to vomit three liters of blood.

At this age, it was the first time in his life that he was so angry with a brat who had not yet reached his prime.

Emperor Tai'an touched his forehead and said, "Qiong'er, please don't be rude to Lin Aiqing."

Zhou Qiong nodded, sat down obediently and continued to eat the fruit, without any trace of the arrogance and domineering attitude that made people vomit blood just now.

At this time, Wu Guogong finally said: "Your Majesty, although today is the New Year's Eve palace banquet, since we have to discuss state affairs, why not let irrelevant people go out and wait?"

Emperor Tai'an frowned, "Well..."

Zhou Qiong said: "Uncle, when I grow up, didn't you say that I can share your worries in the future? There are several generations of heroic ancestors of my Zhenxihou Mansion in Qingzhou, and I am also concerned about the safety of Qingzhou."

Emperor Tai'an had no choice but to nod again, "Then listen carefully and don't interrupt randomly."

He turned around and said to the ministers: "We will discuss the candidate for the imperial doctor later. Who do you think is suitable for the ambassador who is going to Qingzhou to deal with the aftermath?"

Ambassador to Xinzhou? !

Everyone's eyes lit up. This official position would definitely not be low. If you go to Qingzhou, you will have enough say. Even the prefect must obey orders and act. If this plague is handled properly, it will be a great achievement.

All parties in North Korea and China are eager to try.

However, he soon stopped thinking.

No, it's too risky. I'm afraid that I will lose my life if I get the credit.

At this time, Wu Guogong winked at Lin Shilang.

Lin Shilang gritted his teeth, ignoring the embarrassment just now, and spoke again: "Your Majesty, since Prince Zhou is here today, it is God's will. Why not let Prince Zhou go to Qingzhou, or let Zhenxi Hou Mansion Heroes, please look at how this child has grown up."

At this time, both Lin Shilang's allies and his political opponents wanted to give him a thumbs up.

God damn let the heroes see it.

This is pushing people into a pit of fire openly and honestly.

Shameless, really shameless!

Emperor Tai'an looked at Zhou Qiong. Everyone's eyes were also looking at Zhou Qiong.

Zhou Qiong seemed to be frightened and quickly lowered his head.

Use your body to express your resistance and unwillingness.

Someone said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is still young and may not be able to take on a big responsibility. Master Lin's proposal is too childish."

Emperor Tai'an didn't want to but asked: "Qiong'er, do you want to go?"
