The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 203
Those ministers who have been warned in secret will naturally not take it out and talk about it. After being warned, keep your mouth shut. After all, this time it was only a warning, which really angered Shang Junlin, and no one knows what happens next time. What will be on you.
Although Shang Junlin’s temper was much better than before after the nobleman entered the palace, it did not mean that they could not be punished for it, especially if it was related to the nobleman, maybe His Majesty’s attacks were more ruthless than before.
The lessons from the past are there, and no one dares to joke about their future.
“Your Majesty is in his prime now, it’s really early to worry about this.”
“The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there will naturally be a solution at that time, haha.”
Find a good excuse for yourself, and everyone will not mention this matter in tacit agreement.
The retrial of Lin’s case was proposed by Gu Huai. He made a great contribution. Shang Junlin asked him what reward he wanted. To be able to give the Lin family justice.
Gu Huai’s identity has long been guessed in the court. When he first returned to Beijing, a minister who had connections in his hand checked things related to him. Although he could not find out his specific origin, he found out about him and Gu Taiyi. Not a real brother, he was picked up by Imperial Physician Gu when he was a teenager.
This is not a secret, it can be easily found out, but deeper, it is impossible to find out.
To overturn an old case, there are more things involved.
First of all, there is the issue of the prestige of the late emperor. The matter that was sealed by the late emperor himself, but now it has to be brought out for trial again, is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the late emperor. Secondly, there were too many victims at that time, and if the case could be reversed, There are only a few more troubles to deal with later.
Regarding the first question, the ministers knew that Shang Junlin didn’t care at all. If he cared, he would not have brought troops directly into the palace and used force to get this position.
After the court, several ministers gathered together.
“Do you think your Majesty knows about this matter?”
“General Gu’s business? I should have known it. Before that, I couldn’t figure out why Your Majesty would reuse a person who suddenly appeared. If General Gu is really a descendant of the Lin family, then all this is over.”
“Yeah, the Lin family has been a leader for generations. If it wasn’t for the trouble, Da Huan wouldn’t have had such a turbulent period.”
“Isn’t it clear that the Lin family cooperated with the enemy and treasoned the country?”
“Whether it is really a matter of the late emperor’s words, there were many doubts about this matter at that time, and many courtiers asked for a detailed investigation, but the late emperor did not listen, did not give anyone any opportunity to explain, and directly convicted, but The situation of the Lin family was also very strange at that time.”
“How to say?”
“I also discovered this when I checked the archives. At that time, someone suddenly reported to the late emperor that the Lin family was collaborating with the enemy and treason. At that time, the father and son of the Lin family were all out to kill the enemy. It was not that there was no one left in the capital, but none of them stood up to defend their own family. Later, all the Lin family’s army was sacrificed by the enemy, and the Lin family who stayed in the capital was also caught in a fire.”
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were also looking at the dossier about the Lin family.
Since this case is to be re-trialed, it is necessary to know enough about it. On the table, there are not only the files transferred from Dali Temple, but also the evidence that Gu Huai has found privately over the years.
“In the whole thing, what part does ‘Scarlet Dream’ play?” Shen Yu put down the dossier, still unable to understand this.
Shang Junlin has been investigating the matter of “Fei Meng”, but he has not found any useful clues. Due to Shen Yu’s request, Da Huannei listed “Fei Meng” as a banned drug. After a year, “Fei Meng” has basically disappeared. It has appeared again. According to Gu Huai’s previous statement, the Lin family is also a victim of “Scarlet Dream”, but how did “Sweet Dream” harm the Lin family?
“Gu Huai has also been investigating.” Under the candlelight, the shadows of the two overlapped, and Shang Junlin rubbed the gloomy forehead, “It’s getting late, rest early, and talk about it tomorrow.”
After reading the dossier all afternoon, Shen Yu was a little dizzy, and stood up from Shang Junlin’s arms: “Your Majesty, accompany me to walk outside.”
“Okay.”
Shen Yu was led by Shang Junlin and walked in the small garden.
The moonlight poured down, covering everything with a shallow silver halo.
Shen Yu raised his head, a large and round moon hung high in the night sky, dotted with stars, and it was very beautiful.
“Tonight’s moon is really round,” Shen Yu said with emotion, “it’s beautiful.”
“Not as good as Ayu.” Shang Junlin’s eyes always stayed on Shen Yu.
“How does Your Majesty compare me to the moon?” Shen Yu retracted his gaze, turned to look at Shang Junlin, and was caught off guard into the man’s dark eyes.
“In my eyes, everything is inferior to Ayu.”
“Your Majesty also said that my mouth was smeared with honey, and it was His Majesty who had smeared it.”
“Then, do you want Ayu to taste it? Is there any honey in my mouth?”
“Okay, Your Majesty, close your eyes.”
Shang Junlin gently closed his eyes.
Shen Yu wrapped his hands around the man’s neck, tiptoed slightly, and put his lips on him.
The lips were touching, and the breath belonging to another person invaded. Shen Yu remembered the man’s words and stuck out his tongue to taste it.
He didn’t know whether it was sweet or not, because before he could taste it, the man took his breath away.
The waist was imprisoned, and the man’s strength was very strong, as if to melt him into his bones.
The tip of the tongue was sucked until it went numb, and Shen Yu pushed the man’s shoulder unwillingly, but was hugged even tighter.
A gust of breeze blew, raising the hair of the two of them, intertwining in the air, regardless of you and me.
Finally, Shen Yu was let go, his body was a little soft, leaning against the man’s arms, almost all the weight of his whole body was on the arms that were imprisoning his waist.
“I haven’t tasted it yet…” Shen Yu murmured in a low voice.
“Try it again?” Shang Junlin pressed his forehead against the gloomy, hoarse voice.
Shen Yu shook his head: “Tongue is a little numb.”
“Let’s take a look,” Shang Junlin let go of his gloom and raised his lower jaw, “open your mouth.”
Shen Yu obediently opened his mouth and stuck out a small piece of tongue, the tip of which was bright red. Shang Junlin’s eyes darkened, and he fiddled with his fingers.
Shen Yu hurriedly retracted his tongue and said vaguely, “It’s alright, don’t look at it.”
“Is it all right?”
“It’s just that His Majesty’s strength is a bit strong, it’s really okay.” After a while, the gloomy tongue was no longer so numb.
Shang Junlin was still worried. Fortunately, after a night, the gloomy tongue was not a big problem. He pushed Shang Junlin: “It’s all right. Your Majesty asked Imperial Physician Gu to come.”
“It’s easy to take a look.”
Shen Yu’s body is well maintained, he no longer needs medication, and Imperial Physician Gu doesn’t come as often as before.
After taking the pulse for Shen Yu, Imperial Physician Gu’s expression remained unchanged, and said, “Your Majesty’s body is recovering very well. The prescription prescribed by the minister last time does not need to be taken every day. It is enough to take it every two to three days.”
I didn’t expect Imperial Physician Gu to have such benefits, the corners of Shen Yu’s mouth raised slightly.
Shen Yu’s body is getting better day by day, and the happiest person is Shang Junlin, not only Imperial Physician Gu, but also those who serve in the Yuzhang Palace have been rewarded.
The palace people like to serve in the Yuzhang Palace. The master is easy to serve, and the treatment is good. Shen Yu has a lot of shops in his hand. Every time there is a new product, the shopkeeper Xu will send it to the palace. Most of these things are not used by him. , it will be rewarded to the people below, all of which are new products bought outside the palace, and the palace maids are very happy to get it.
The matter of the Lin family was progressing very quickly. Before Gu Huai brought it up, he had already made sufficient preparations. If he hadn’t had sufficient evidence in his hands, he would not have dared to bring it up.
His Majesty ordered a retrial of the case. No matter what the ministers thought, they had to do what they had to do, read the files, and re-examine the witnesses. After many years, even if Gu Huai had enough evidence in his hand, he wanted to retrial, it would not be so. easy.
This matter was handed over to Fang Jun, who was assisted by Dali Temple. Fang Jun was born in Dali Temple, so working with his former colleagues did not require re-running.
Every day, new progress is sent to the palace. There is something strange about the Lin family. Many people know it. It’s just that the emperor was determined to convict the Lin family. They knew it was useless. Either be demoted, or dismissed from office, or even put their lives on the line.
The emperor and the courtier of the dynasty, the officials who remain in the dynasty today are basically selected later, and Fang Jun is barely one who has truly experienced the period of the former emperor, and there are not many left.
What they were familiar with was the resolute and resolute behavior of Shang Junlin. With the revelation of the Lin family incident, they were shocked to discover how chaotic the court was when the previous emperor was in power.
“There are so many doubts about this matter, but it has been decided directly? This is a matter of tens of thousands of lives, so why is it so hasty?”
“At that time…it’s not that you didn’t know how absurd it was, what a fuss about it.”
“So at that time, when His Majesty ascended the throne, there was not much opposition?”
“You should be quiet, the walls have ears, but it’s not always the case. Your Majesty is the only direct son of the princes, and he should take this position. What’s more, it was His Majesty who solved the crisis of Dahuan at that time and saved the people from water and fire. The position should belong to Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty overturned the case for the Lin family because he didn’t want the loyal soul to be wronged?”
Regarding this matter, many officials who know the inside story are very complicated. In the early years, they felt that His Majesty had no scruples in his heart. Now it seems that His Majesty does not care, but is waiting for the best time. Otherwise, why so Among the many people, they chose to reuse Gu Huai, who was bent on overturning the case for the Lin family?
His Majesty holds the Hidden Dragon Guard in his hand. They don’t believe it. His Majesty didn’t know the origin of this person before he hired him.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin didn’t know what the ministers thought in their hearts. After the matter was explained, Shang Junlin no longer bothered about it.
The king of Yue was in trouble, and Shang Junlin was temporarily at leisure, and planned to take Shen Yu out of the palace to play for two days.
Last year, because of an accident in the middle, I originally promised to go out with Shen Yu but failed. This year, Shang Junlin planned to take Shen Yu again.
Shen Yu was trying on clothes, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer. Shen Yu took off the thick clothes he wore in winter and put on thin spring shirts. Because of his height, his clothes were a little too small last year. of.
The new clothes follow the style that Shen Yu has always liked, which is simple and comfortable.
Wu Fa tied the headband of the same color behind his head, Shen Yu changed his clothes and came out, Shang Junlin had already changed into a suit of casual clothes.
“Are you going to leave the palace today?” Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin and asked,
Only when he was about to leave the palace would Shang Junlin change into clothes without dragon embroidery.
“There is a polo match outside the palace recently, do you want to watch Ayu?”
Polo is a popular sport for Da Huan. Due to physical limitations, Shen Yu has never played it much.
“Will Your Majesty be present?”
Shen Yu was not very interested in watching others play, but it was different when His Majesty played in person.
