The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Which emperor does not want to be remembered through the ages and does not want to leave behind the image of a wise ruler for future generations?

If he became a criminal of the Great Zhou, how could he face the previous emperors?

My father said that the First Xuanmen practices the righteous way, the way to heaven. No matter who they have a good relationship with, they will follow the principle of peace and prosperity in the world and will never become a tool for any force to fight for power.

This was determined when the First Xuanmen was founded. Anyone who violates it will be punished by heaven.

My father said that all the emperors of the Great Zhou believed in this and had witnessed it, so it is absolutely credible.

Therefore, no matter who the first descendant of Xuanmen has a good relationship with, he will try his best to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou and the peace of the people.

However, the people of the First Xuanmen are very good at judging people. If they have a good relationship with someone, it must be because that person will not do anything reckless and is not a traitor who will cause unrest. Otherwise, he would not be in the eyes of the successor of the First Xuanmen.

After waking up, the emperor couldn't help but think about what his father had said.

He came to a conclusion.

In short, the descendants of the First Xuanmen are trustworthy, and they will protect the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Also, remember not to offend.

Furthermore, those who have a good relationship with them are basically on the side of maintaining the stability of the Great Zhou dynasty.

The emperor wants to meet Lu Zhaoling and her fellow junior brothers and sisters.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

Eunuch Qin reminded gently.

The emperor has indeed had a hard time sleeping these past two days, and he looks very haggard every time he wakes up.

Is it really the late emperor who came into my dream?

This was too frequent. The emperor had lost all his energy and would even fall asleep during court sessions. Sometimes he had to pinch his thighs to force himself to stay awake.

"I suddenly envy Prince Jin."

The emperor suddenly said something.

Eunuch Qin didn't dare to respond.

However, the emperor was also prepared to listen to what he had to say, and he himself asked curiously, "I wonder if the Prince of Jin is here today."

He didn't know whether he wanted Prince Jin to come or not.

Eunuch Qin also made a guess.

However, Prince Jin did not come today, but Censor Lin did.

The emperor saw Censor Lin at first sight.

It was really because Censor Lin was too conspicuous standing there.

Previously, Censor Lin was hit by the emperor with an inkstone and had not attended court for some time.

The emperor actually felt a little guilty after he calmed down, but it was impossible for him as an emperor to apologize to Censor Lin, so he pretended that he had never thought of Censor Lin.

Since Censor Lin did not come to court, he did not ask.

Now Censor Lin is here.

And his head was bandaged.

The emperor almost slipped when he saw the way he was bandaged.

I heard that the assistant doctor treated him and he must be much better now. He almost wrapped his entire head, so that his official hat was only loosely supported and not worn properly.

Seeing his hair wrapped in white cloth, the emperor's eyes twitched.

Censor Lin must have done this on purpose!

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

All officials knelt down and kowtowed.

"Everyone loves you."

The emperor spoke in a calm tone, and saw Censor Lin climb up with a weak and feeble movement, and his eyes twitched again.

Censor Lin hadn't finished his performance yet, but after he stood up, he left the line first.

"I have been recovering from my injuries for many days and have neglected my duties. I ask Your Majesty to punish me."

Censor Lin's voice sounded very weak.

In the past, when he impeached others in the court, he was full of energy and could talk for a long time without pausing. Now, it seemed as if he had used up all his strength to say this sentence.

None of the ministers said anything.

If Censor Lin wasn't acting, they would have eaten his own official hat.

The emperor also wanted to scold him.

But they all knew that Censor Lin's injury was real and indeed quite serious.

The emperor looked gloomy and said, "Lord Lin is not attending court because he is recovering from his injuries. What crime has he committed? Since your injuries are not healed yet, just rest nearby and don't say anything."

Talk less so that he won’t feel depressed.

Censor Lin responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor always felt that Censor Lin was speaking in a sarcastic way. It was clearly him who injured him, so why was he thanking him?

Does this old Lin have any resentment towards him?

The emperor felt aggrieved.

But Censor Lin was really an old minister with clean hands and loyal to the Great Zhou. His father had praised him countless times before. He was in the wrong for hitting him this time. Even if Censor Lin's words were unpleasant to his ears, he had to endure it.

It's another day of envying Zhou Shiyue.

"emperor."

Lin Rong came out and presented the memorial.

"I have investigated the deaths of the young men in Jiangnan, and here are the results."

"Oh?"

The emperor's attention was finally drawn and he became more alert.

"Present it quickly. How did they die?"

"They did eat the red muntjac and died of poisoning."

"The person who first proposed and ultimately slaughtered the red muntjac was one of the deceased, the young man named Yu Hua."

Lin Rong said, "I have carefully questioned Lord Zhou and Guan Chang, as well as the relatives of the deceased in Jiangnan. They all said that Yu Hua is a man of extreme temperament. Once he decides on something, he will stick to it and will never listen to advice or other opinions."

The emperor flipped through his memorials while listening to him speak.

"Originally everyone thought that Yu Hua and Young Marquis Zhou had a very good relationship, but after a careful investigation by this minister, I discovered that they had already had a conflict when they were in Jiangnan."

"Yu Hua had a confidante. One day, this woman visited Young Marquis Zhou privately and begged him to take her away from Jiangnan, saying that Yu Hua would never bring her back to the Yu Mansion."

"Yu Hua felt that Young Marquis Zhou was not kind. There were so many beauties in the capital, but he chose to seduce the one he liked."

At this time, a minister couldn't help but speak up.

"Even so, what's the point of Yu Hua killing that red muntjac? He will eat it to death, and it won't hurt Young Marquis Zhou at all."

Everyone nodded.

That’s right, they have a conflict, what does it have to do with eating red muntjacs?

"I found a servant in the mansion of Young Marquis Zhou. When Yu Hua and his friends were eating red deer, he was called to warm the wine and heard a few words."

Lin Rong explained, "Yu Hua didn't believe that the red muntjac was poisonous, but just in case, he thought of a way. They brought a kind of wine from Jiangnan, which can be drunk warm to remove some of the poison, so they thought that if they ate the red muntjac and drank some medicinal wine, they would be fine."

"Isn't this nonsense? Where can I get this kind of wine?"

"Yu Hua said that this wine was obtained from a Taoist temple and that it was mixed with talisman ash, which can indeed detoxify."

Lin Rong hadn't slept well for several days because of the investigation.

The servant was very frightened after Yu Hua and others died. He was afraid that he would be implicated and would not be able to explain himself, so he pretended to be sick and hid for a few days.

Originally they didn't know there was such a person. It was only after the cook thought for a long time that he suddenly remembered that the servant went to the kitchen to get charcoal that day and seemed to have said that he wanted to warm the wine.

No one was drinking in the mansion that day, and if there was anyone drinking, it could only be those young masters.
