Chapter 198 I told you not to mess with women
"Your Majesty, Li Qingzheng's case cannot be investigated!"
After the court session, the emperor summoned Lin Si alone. As soon as he came in, he heard him complaining.
The emperor knew the case best back then. If he really investigated it, it would be more than just their relationship as siblings.
"I know that this case cannot be touched. But now, I have no choice."
Lin Si is an impulsive and irritable person who needs to be calmed down.
Lest he lose his temper and cause trouble again.
"Now that the Red Turban Army has revolted, if we don't investigate this case, we will be criticized. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
The rebels kept shouting that they wanted to redress the injustice for Li Qingzheng.
In fact, you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Do you think he can't see it?
Since they want to investigate Li Qingzheng's case, let them investigate it thoroughly.
He wanted to see how something that had been wiped clean could be turned into something else!
Lin Si was still worried, always feeling that this matter was not that simple.
"Your Majesty, why don't you suppress this case? Those rebels are not powerful enough. Only by sending troops to wipe them out now can we prevent future troubles!"
What Lin Si said made sense. The Red Turban Army had just started the uprising and everything was still in the preparation stage. It had not yet taken shape.
At this time, if the court sent well-trained troops there, they could be completely wiped out.
Although the reputation is not good, it is better than putting yourself in danger!
The emperor frowned, dissatisfied with Lin Si's attitude.
He was so worried that it was obvious that he did not believe what the emperor had just said, so he proposed to send troops to wipe out the rebellion.
"This matter is settled. Think carefully about it and see if there is anything you missed back then. Find a way to clean it up!"
Lin Si was almost driven out. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he was secretly taken to the back of a rockery by the eunuchs waiting outside.
"My lord, the queen has been waiting for a long time."
Lin Si walked into the rockery, and when he looked up, he saw jeweled hairpins and rings hanging all over his head.
"Brother, you finally came out!"
As soon as Concubine Lin saw him, she hurried over and asked with concern, "How is it? What did the emperor say to you?"
After she heard about this, she became extremely worried and wished she could go and meet the emperor in person.
But her only rationality made her calm down, she knew that if she approached at this time, it would only make the emperor more unhappy.
So, I can only wait here.
"Alas, the emperor has been forced into a corner and has agreed to thoroughly re-investigate Li Qingzheng's case."
"What?!" Concubine Lin was shocked. "How could the emperor agree to this? Has he forgotten what happened back then..."
"younger sister!"
Lin Si was startled and looked around quickly. He knew that there would be no one else here, but he still felt guilty.
"Be careful what you say, walls may have ears!"
Concubine Lin sneered, "Don't worry, brother. My people are guarding this place inside and outside. Don't even a fly think of flying in!"
In this harem, she has long been second only to the emperor, so this kind of scene is no problem for her.
Those unruly people said that she was a witch concubine, which was half right.
The emperor dotes on her in every way, isn't she just a demon concubine who sucks the emperor's blood?
"Even so, we must not be careless." Lin Si shook his head, disagreeing with his sister's arrogant attitude.
They have indeed reached a high position, but precisely because of this, they should be more cautious in their actions.
The emperor thought that Lin Si was impulsive, irritable and difficult to control, but in fact, the truly impulsive person was Concubine Lin.
The brother and sister disguised themselves very well in front of the emperor, so that he still could not discover their true personalities.
"How can the emperor be so useless? They are just a few troublemakers. Are you afraid that you can't kill them?"
Concubine Lin really couldn't understand. Since those unruly people were rebelling, wasn't it justified to send troops to suppress them?
Why should we follow them and investigate some old case?
Wouldn't this allow those unruly people to become even more arrogant?
"And has the emperor forgotten that what happened back then was also his handiwork?"
The biggest reason why Li Qingzheng was falsely accused of corruption was that the disaster relief money could not be found!
The relief food has been replaced, and no one wants the moldy rice even if they are given away. Why would we need to use the relief money to buy it?
Millions of silver coins disappeared mysteriously, and there is still no clue until now.
Li Qingzheng took the blame, but there was no clue about the silver.
Lin Si looked deep and said calmly: "The emperor is concerned about his reputation. Now that he has been framed, this case must be investigated."
The more incompetent an emperor is, the more he wants to leave his name in history.
Their emperor was no exception.
Besides, the matter in Songyang County is just the beginning. If it is not handled properly, it is indeed possible that, as Prime Minister Qin said, other places will be disheartened and even ready to take action.
The emperor himself knew that there were problems with his governance.
He has no confidence, so he dares not take risks.
If Lin Si guessed correctly, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself, and he summoned me alone just now just to calm myself down first.
After all, he was very impulsive in front of the emperor...
Concubine Lin was a little anxious, "So what should we do now?"
There was some moisture in her eyes, and in front of her dearest person, she revealed the softest and most vulnerable part of her heart.
"Brother, they said they want to purge the emperor's entourage and punish the evil concubine. They want my life!"
Why?
Just because she was favored, she became a concubine who interfered with the emperor and had to be executed? !
But everything the emperor did was what he wanted to do. Could a favorite concubine like him really change the world?
Even if there is to be punishment, it should be the emperor, not her!
Concubine Lin felt wronged and afraid, "Brother, do you think the emperor will push me out to take the blame?"
As a favorite concubine, Concubine Lin's greatest advantage is that she is considerate.
Good at understanding the emperor's intention.
So she knew very well that once things became out of control, the emperor would definitely choose to abandon her!
Just like when he attacked the Queen Mother!
He could even betray the empress dowager who pushed him to the throne without batting an eyelid, let alone her, a lily that depended on the emperor for its survival?
Lin Si's eyes darkened slightly, "Don't worry, even if that moment comes, I will keep you safe."
Concubine Lin was his only sister. Lin Si always treated her as his own daughter. He would rather suffer himself than let her suffer any grievance.
"What's more, we have the Emperor's leverage over us. If it really comes to a point where both sides are at stake, there's nothing to worry about."
Lin Si said these words expressionlessly, but Concubine Lin gradually felt at ease.
Yes, the emperor's handle is still in their hands. If he is unkind, don't blame her and her brother for being unjust!
It would be better if the emperor did not have the idea of sacrificing her and her brother, otherwise, everyone would die together!
