After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Almost at the same time, Lin Shaoshu had already brought his confidants to the outside of the Shede courtyard. Looking at the tightly closed courtyard door, a glimmer of light flashed in Lin Shaoshu's eyes...

"Your Highness, shall we go in now?"

Only Lin Shaoshu's confidant asked.

"No, wait a little longer..."

What are you waiting for?

A hint of doubt flashed across the confidant's eyes, and soon he saw Mr. Wen coming over with a group of people, who turned out to be several ministers in the cabinet.

In the current court of Kyoto, there is the Prime Minister Wang for civil affairs, the Regent for military affairs, and the Imperial Censorate commanded by the Emperor himself. The old ministers in the cabinet basically do not play any major role and are there just to provide for their retirement.

But after all, they had followed three emperors and still had a certain influence in the court. What's more important was that Lin Shaoshu was always courteous to the wise and humble, and because he often made friends with court officials in the capital in the name of Taifu Xie, he had a good relationship with the old ministers in the cabinet.

Mr. Wen was afraid of missing the best opportunity to catch the Regent committing adultery, so he ignored the etiquette of scholars and walked very quickly with the old ministers of the cabinet.

When they arrived at the Shede Courtyard, several elderly people were already out of breath. The leader, Song Ge Lao, asked in confusion, "Why did Your Highness think of coming to the Huguo Temple today?"

Elder Xu Xiao said, "Your Highness has made great achievements in Buddhism, and he also translated several Buddhist books last year. I believe he heard that Master Yuan returned to Huguo Temple today, so he asked us to come and visit him together."

This Xu Zheng, the young minister, was the first to clearly express his support for Lin Shaoshu, so he naturally spoke in favor of Lin Shaoshu.

What he meant by translating Buddhist scriptures was that last year some monks from the Western Regions came to visit and brought with them hundreds of volumes of Buddhist scriptures. The emperor ordered someone who was proficient in Sanskrit to translate them.

Among them, Regent Lin Xun grew up in Huguo Temple and had great attainments in Sanskrit. At that time, Emperor Yonghui sent half of the Buddhist scriptures to the battlefield and asked Lin Xun to translate them when he was free. As for the rest, everyone knew that the third prince Lin Shaoshu was very talented, and it was he who stayed up late to translate the remaining half, which made Emperor Yonghui and the Empress Dowager very happy.

Because of his contribution to the translation of Buddhist scriptures, Lin Shaoshu gained a lot of favor among the court officials. Moreover, the old officials who followed Emperor Huaimin were all Buddhists. Lin Shaoshu's move unknowingly won the support of a wave of forces.

but……

No one knows that the person who actually translated the Buddhist scriptures now enshrined in the Sutra Library of Huguo Temple was not the famous Third Prince in Kyoto, but the stupid and wooden beauty in the eyes of the world - Xiao Xuetang!

Just because Lin Shaoshu wanted to make merit in front of Emperor Yonghui, Xiao Xuetang ignored her own weak body and stayed up late for countless sleepless nights to help Lin Shaoshu translate the scriptures, helping him to please Emperor Yonghui and gain fame in Chang'an...

When talking about the translation of Buddhist scriptures, Lin Shaoshu's eyes flickered slightly, but he finally acknowledged his own contribution.

The strange look in his eyes lasted only for a moment, and soon Lin Shaoshu's face was still as bright as the moon and breeze, and he looked like a gentleman with noble character and integrity, and said: "What Elder Xu said is right. I know that you all believe in Buddhism. Today, Master Liaoyuan happens to be in Huguo Temple. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I invited you all to come and listen to the sutras and discuss the Tao together."

Elder Cheng asked in confusion, "Your Highness is saying that Master Yuan is not in the meditation room but in this villa?"

Lin Shaoshu said calmly, "The emperor's uncle is also at the Huguo Temple today. Master Liaoyuan has always had a close relationship with the emperor's uncle, so I would like to invite the emperor's uncle to listen to the sutra together."

When they heard that Lin Xun was here, the expressions of several cabinet ministers instantly became extremely interesting, especially Lord Cheng who was standing at the front.

The feud between Lin Xun and the cabinet could not be fully described even if we talked for three days and three nights.

In short, the ministers in the cabinet have always been conservative. They are very dissatisfied with Lin Xun's claim to be king at a young age and his ruthless methods. They always report Lin Xun to the authorities for no reason.

As for Lin Xun, it is even simpler.

In his eyes, there are only those who should be killed and those who don't want to be killed. Although the civil officials in the cabinet are annoying, their crimes are not punishable by death, so he is too lazy to pay attention to them.

The cabinet used to be so powerful in Kyoto, but now it is completely ignored by Lin Xun, which has exacerbated the grudges!

This was especially true of the chief minister of the cabinet, Cheng Ge Lao. When Emperor Huaimin was in power, he had bluntly said that Lin Xun had a bad temper and might be a threat to Dayin.

It is said that at that time, Cheng Ge Lao secretly advised Emperor Huaimin to execute Lin Xun to prevent future troubles...

So, when others heard that Lin Xun was here, they were still okay, but Lord Cheng's face changed instantly, he turned around and was about to leave!

Unexpectedly, at this moment he was stopped by Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng looked like he was just here to watch the fun and didn't mind the big deal. He said, "Master Liu, today the Third Prince has shown his kindness. Since we are here, we should give him some face."

At this time, Lin Shaoshu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Please forgive me, Lord. You also know that Master Yuan has always been a carefree person. Even my father finds it difficult to summon him. So, today I thought of asking for an audience with Master Yuan in the name of my uncle..."

Cheng Ge Lao's expression eased a little and he said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I am not the kind of person who cannot distinguish between public and private matters."

In order to show that his prejudice against Lin Xun was not as deep as everyone thought, Lord Cheng took the initiative to step forward and push open the gate.

But before he entered the room, he heard a woman's charming voice from afar...

"Your Highness, please be gentle..."

Then there was the man's deep voice: "Little fairy, be gentle, do you like it..."

The intimate sounds of the man and woman could be clearly heard in the quiet garden, and it was like a bolt from the blue to the ears of the ministers in the cabinet!

"This... is the Regent in here?!"

"Isn't it said that the Regent Prince has always been averse to women? How could he bring a woman to hang out in the Zen temple during his retreat?"

"Such a dissolute behavior is simply a disgrace to society, a disgrace to society!"

Everyone gasped, as if they had discovered some great secret. They were now at a loss as to whether to move forward or backward, having already stepped into the courtyard.

They were curious about what was going on inside. They had not expected that the Regent, who usually looked abstinent, could be so carefree in private. But at the same time, they were afraid of catching the Regent doing something. What if he came to kill people to silence them?

That person even dared to kill the emperor.

While others were still hesitating, Elder Cheng was already furious...

Although Lin Xun has a bad reputation and is bloodthirsty and warmongering, his private life is impeccable.

But now...

"How dare you, you bastard Lin Xun!"

Cheng Ge was so angry that he called out Lin Xun's name. He looked around and didn't see any cane or anything like that, so he took off his shoes and started to beat someone.

Lin Shaoshu was slightly startled when he heard the noise inside. When he saw Cheng Gelao taking off his shoes and trying to rush in, he quickly stopped him and said, "Gentleman, don't be impulsive. The emperor's uncle is not... not the kind of person who disregards etiquette. There must be some misunderstanding. If you rush in like this, it will be bad if you alarm Master Le Leyuan."

Lin Shaoshu said this, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He only drugged Lin Xun and Xiao Xuetang, so how could they wake up so quickly?

Is it...

Here, Lin Shaoshu had just stopped Elder Liu and was just beginning to feel suspicious when a woman's voice that sounded like she was crying came from inside...

"Your Highness, please don't do that. It hurts..."

In an instant, the fire that Cheng Ge Lao had put out with great difficulty suddenly rose up and burned even more vigorously than before.

Lin Shaoshu's expression was even uglier than Cheng Ge Lao's. Listening to the woman's cries of pain and the man's gasps, his face turned pale and his eyes were red.

Even more bloodshot...

How dare Lin Xun really touch Xiao Xuetang!
