Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

"Your Majesty, Tian Wenlin has awakened from this, and it is your wisdom!"

Lin Shirong's words left other people in the court dumbfounded.

Has this person gone to such lengths to flatter?

No wonder he is so popular among His Majesty.

But it would be inappropriate for Tian Linwen to bite people randomly here in order to save his life and make a contribution.

They really don't want to be the unlucky one.

There were many court officials who thought so.

They all stood up to express their opposition.

"Your Majesty, Tian Linwen is a bad person. Before the Tian family got into trouble, he ignored Princess Anle's age and fabricated slanderous stories about her in order to get close to the general's mansion. Such a despicable person should not be here."

What was unexpected was that the first person to stand up and oppose Tian Linwen's appearance in the court was the second-rank Prime Minister Wang.

Others followed suit, saying that they did not want to see Tian Linwen appear.

Emperor Jianchang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I understand everyone's feelings, but I want him to admit his guilt in front of everyone, clear An Le's name, and give an explanation to the people who died in vain because of Tian Ce's shameless corruption and selfishness, which caused the dam to burst."

Of course, he also has a deeper plan.

The court interrogated Tian Linwen, an insider, to deter those who were secretly carrying out various small actions.

Seeing that His Majesty was determined to interrogate Tian Linwen in court, everyone stopped objecting.

However, all the court officials were extremely nervous, their minds were tense, and they waited with serious faces for Tian Linwen to be pressed forward.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely subtle and solemn.

Emperor Jianchang sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the expressions of the people in the hall below, and he knew that his decision was right.

Following his signal, not long after, Tian Linwen, led by two Xiaoyu guards, came to the court with chains on his hands.

"Your Majesty, I, the guilty minister, Tian Linwen, kowtow to your Majesty!"

Tian Linwen's hair was disheveled, his handsome face was gone, his chin was covered with black stubble, and he looked haggard. The young man looked like a middle-aged man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Tian Linwen, just say whatever you want to say. His Majesty and the court officials are all here. As long as what you confess is true, His Majesty will decide your fate."

The chief eunuch standing below Emperor Jianchang in the main hall, holding a whisk in his arms, used his sharp voice to remind the people kneeling on the ground.

Tian Linwen then dared to raise his head and look at the Emperor Jianchang who was sitting high in the hall. He said solemnly, "Your Majesty, my father Tian Ce accepted bribes from the prefect of Nanping two years ago. Together with many officials in the Jiangnan area, he embezzled most of the silver from the court for disaster relief, and only a small part was distributed to the people."

"I recently learned about this from my father's confidant. More importantly, I am not Tian Ce's son, but the son of a farming couple. Madam Tian secretly adopted me when I was a child. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter."

Tian Linwen's words shocked other people in the court and caused them to talk about it.

Wow, Tian Ce’s corruption and bribery are actually related to the Nanping prefect.

It seems that the prefect of Nanping, who is in charge of the entire Jiangnan area, and some local officials under him will be replaced.

In this way, they can take the opportunity to move their arrangements to Nanping.

It is the richest place in the Great Zhou and the largest source of granary in the Great Zhou.

Emperor Jianchang frowned at Tian Linwen's instructions.

"Your Majesty, I have also learned of evidence that the General's Mansion is secretly planning a rebellion."

His words were like thunder, leaving everyone unable to react.
