The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress
Chapter 70: Stupid as a Pig
……
On the second day in the court, before Lin Moyun arrived, the ministers were already discussing the matter.
"Have you heard? I heard that Zhao Xiaomei and her son died on the street on the way to the Princess's Mansion.
"Ye Zhaobo of the Censorate is a star of misfortune. It is unlucky to get close to him."
"Yes! There was a strange phenomenon in the sky. It looked like being struck by lightning."
"So, since he moved out of the Princess's Mansion, Princess An Ning's complexion has improved a lot."
Lin Wanwan watched the discussions and looked forward. Why hadn't Prime Minister Su Mingde come to court yet?
At this time, Ouyang Qingyu, wearing court robes, walked into the Golden Palace with an upright posture and a normal expression.
His eyes unconsciously fell on Lin Wanwan who was not far away: "Princess."
Lin Wanwan was wearing court dress and her makeup was still exquisite. She noticed the gaze behind her and turned her head to meet Ouyang Qingyu's eyes: "Lord Ouyang."
Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were instantly filled with complex emotions, including loss, pain, and more importantly, unspeakable heartache.
Ouyang Qingyu walked up to her side and said, "The list of Hongyue Tower is in my hands."
"What does Lord Ouyang plan to do? Hand it over to His Majesty?"
Ouyang Qingyu looked at Lin Wanwan's cold eyes, trying to find a trace of former warmth in her expression.
However, he couldn't find any.
"No, the one given to your majesty is a fake."
Lin Wanwan raised her eyes, then lowered them again, retracted her gaze, and waited to go to court.
In her eyes, Ouyang Qingyu saw only endless indifference and disregard, a coldness that kept him at a distance.
Ouyang Qingyu's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, he swallowed all the words back.
When the Yongwang incident faded, the princess returned from Pingyang City.
He would immediately inform the princess about Prince Yong's fake death.
Can't wait even a moment longer.
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
Emperor Lin Moyun walked into the Golden Palace and sat on a high seat with a gloomy face. His sharp eyes swept over the ministers below.
Early in the morning, Lin Moyun received a list of Wang's followers and was very unhappy.
Ye Zhaobo was feeling somewhat expectant. His Majesty would definitely investigate Prince Yong's followers at the court meeting today, and Lin Wanwan would definitely be implicated.
However, Lin Moyun suddenly changed the subject and directed his criticism towards issues such as political parties and land deeds.
"I have been thinking about this. When will the factional disputes in the court end?" Emperor Lin Moyun's voice was cold and full of doubt.
"Is my kingdom going to be ruined by these factional disputes?"
Ye Zhaobo was startled and subconsciously looked at Lin Wanwan behind him.
Lin Wanwan looked calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
But Ye Zhaobo's doubts grew stronger.
Ye Zhaobo thought to himself: Why would His Majesty suddenly mention the factional disputes? And just let the Yong Wang faction issue go? !
Emperor Lin Moyun's eyes darkened, and he continued, "As for the land deeds, I think there must be something fishy going on! How can my kingdom allow you to operate in secret like this!"
His eyes swept back and forth among the ministers, "Who among you is behind this? Don't think I don't know!"
Ye Zhaobo felt that every word was directed at him, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He secretly observed the reactions of the people around him, trying to find some clues, but everyone's expressions were hidden under respect and fear, making it difficult for him to understand.
At this time, Lin Moyun suddenly called Ye Zhaobo by name: "Ye Zhaobo, as the Minister of Agriculture, do you have anything to say about this matter?"
Ye Zhaobo knelt down hastily and replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have always been loyal..."
Lin Moyun snorted coldly: "Don't know? Really don't know?"
Ye Zhaobo kowtowed immediately: "Your Majesty is very insightful. I dare not conceal anything."
Lin Moyun's eyes became even more fierce: "Humph, it's better to be so! I am always vigilant towards you ministers, don't think you can play any tricks under my nose!"
Lin Moyun glanced at the ministers and saw that they were standing in a row, but there was no sign of Prime Minister Su Mingde.
He sat on the dragon throne with a frown on his face, his eyes filled with doubt and a hint of uneasiness, secretly wondering why Su Mingde did not attend court.
Lin Moyun asked: "Where is Su Mingde?"
Just as the ministers were whispering and discussing, Su Mingde finally hurried over!
When Lin Wanwan saw him appear, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Mingde with cold eyes.
He looked solemn, his steps were a little hurried, and he was holding tightly in his hands two pieces of evidence handed to him yesterday.
A smile appeared on Lin Wanwan's lips.
This smile was seen clearly by Ouyang Qingyu who had been paying attention to her. His eyes darkened and he and the princess looked forward to what would happen next.
Su Mingde walked to the front of the hall, knelt down and saluted, then held up the evidence with both hands and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I am late because I found two important pieces of evidence during my search and I dare not delay even a moment."
"Bring it up."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly walked up to Su Mingde, took away the two pieces of evidence and handed them to Lin Moyun.
Lin Moyun couldn't wait to quickly scan it and watch.
One is the court relationship that Wang Yiner stamped with blood.
The other one is the correspondence between Ye Zhaobo, Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe and Third Prince Lin Gao.
The letter mentioned the possibility of launching a coup many times and mentioned Wang Luda's military power.
Attached at the end is an account book, which records in detail the amount of money Ye Zhaobo embezzled and accepted in bribes, as well as their sources, involving many officials and wealthy businessmen.
A map showing the farmland of the people that Ye Zhaobo had illegally occupied, as well as the illegal stronghold he had secretly built.
The Prince Yong has just been removed, and now...
His two sons.
Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe and Third Prince Lin Gao were both trying to win over Ye Zhaobo.
His face instantly turned extremely gloomy. He held the two pieces of solid evidence tightly in his hands and shouted angrily:
"What a Ye Zhaobo! He just said he was loyal, but now he dares to form a clique for personal gain!" He stood up suddenly, waved the sleeves of his dragon robe, and brought up a gust of wind.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaobo knelt down in a hurry.
Lin Moyun was furious and strode down the platform. The heavy footsteps sounded like war drums, beating on Ye Zhaobo's heart.
He held the two pieces of solid evidence tightly, veins bulging on his arms, and slammed them hard in Ye Zhaobo's face.
"The evidence is right in front of you, what else do you have to explain!"
Lin Moyun roared, his voice exploding in the court like thunder.
Ye Zhaobo was frightened by this sudden action and trembled all over. The two pieces of evidence hit his face and then fell to the ground.
He picked it up with trembling hands, glanced over, and instantly widened his eyes in shock, his face full of disbelief.
His lips trembled, and he muttered to himself: "This... How could this happen..."
His mind was racing. How could the things in the secret drawer in his study appear here? He instantly thought of Lin Wanwan, and felt shocked and angry.
He suddenly looked at Lin Wanwan: When was it stolen? How could Lin Wanwan have such a trick!
Ye Zhaobo forced himself to remain calm, raised his head in panic, and said earnestly with a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, this must be a false accusation. I have never formed a clique!" His eyes wandered among the ministers in panic, trying to find a little support.
Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe didn't dare to step forward and say a word.
The third prince Lin Gao didn't dare to explain.
Lin Moyun's eyes were wide open at this time, looking at his two sons Lin Xiaohe and Lin Gao.
He couldn't completely expose these relationships in court.
What made Lin Moyun most angry about Ye Zhaobo's clique was that such letters and evidence could be easily brought to him.
He was so stupid to be angry with Ye Zhaobo!
He respected Ye Zhaobo and let him serve as the Imperial Censor for so many years, turning a blind eye to the fact that their family had bullied Lin Wanwan for many years.
He secretly laughed at himself for being wrong.
Lin Moyun angrily yelled, "It's just as the rumors say! You, Ye Zhaobo, are as stupid as a pig!"
Then, with his blood boiling, Lin Moyun waved his hand and said, "Come here, take Ye Zhaobo away immediately...!"
Lin Moyun stopped speaking halfway, his eyes fell on Lin Xiaohe.
Alas, his prince has also set a wedding date with Ye Zhaobo's daughter Ye Sisi.
Lin Xiaohe met Lin Moyun's disappointed eyes and lowered his head silently.
Lin Gao secretly rejoiced that he had nothing to do with Ye Zhaobo!
After all, we have to consider Lin Xiaohe's face.
Lin Moyun suppressed his anger and waved his hand, saying: "Ye Zhaobo, I will demote you to the position of Grand Herald. Don't get involved in government affairs anymore. You will be in charge of receiving guests from now on.
A mansion.
All the things on the list will go to the national treasury!"
Ye Zhaobo was trembling and could hardly speak clearly: "Your Majesty...I..."
"Go away!" Lin Moyun said coldly, "You don't have to come to court anymore."
Ye Zhaobo stood up covered in dust and left the court.
When Lin Wanwan heard that Ye Zhaobo was only demoted three levels, and saw him leave so easily, she suddenly swung her sleeves, walked forward slowly, looked around, and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, I have something else to say."
Lin Moyun walked back to the platform and sat back on the dragon chair, his eyes deep: "You say."
Lin Wanwan knelt down and said seriously, "I already have an engagement, but Your Majesty has not yet decided on a wedding date.
I cannot wait any longer. I want to choose a day to marry Hua Yu and grant her the title of Marquis of the County.
Now that I am an official in the court, I should be able to establish my own government.
I want to change the Princess's Mansion into a County Lord's Mansion!
As for those parasites living in the Princess's West Courtyard, this county lord will drive them all out."
Her voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the hall. Everyone was shocked by her aura.
All the ministers looked at Lin Wanwan and Princess An Ning in unison. They were going to kick their stepfather out of the house!
Even Lin Moyun fell silent. Lin Wanwan could indeed take over the Princess's Mansion by setting up her own business.
As the eldest princess' second wife, Ye Zhaobo married Wang Yinyi because the princess was still young and needed to be raised. But now...
Seeing Lin Moyun's hesitation, Ouyang Qingyu stepped out to salute. His voice was a little hoarse, but he tried to keep it steady:
"Your Majesty, please issue two imperial decrees. One, to allow Princess An Ning to establish her own household, and the other, to grant Hua Yu the title of Marquis and to choose a date for his marriage."
