Chapter 206 1 Everyone is a coward
After being scolded by the Emperor, the Prince of Nan'an no longer cared about his face. He knelt on the ground and banged his head loudly, without any trace of his previous arrogance.
However, Lin Ruhai had no time to care about him, as he was only concerned about Lin Chengyu's safety.
He already knew where Lin Chengyu had taken Fourteen that day, and he had been worried about his son day and night for the past few days, fearing that something unexpected would happen to him, which would make him old and gray...
bah bah bah!
Don't think about unlucky things.
Lin Ruhai was filled with sorrow and worry, and now he was just hoping that his son would return safely.
Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor's majesty made people dare not look directly at him. The ministers kept silent and held their breath, but they were worried in their hearts.
A few days ago, when the news of Prince Linhuai's injury came back, the emperor's expression immediately changed. It was unclear whether he was worried about the military situation, or worried about Prince Linhuai's safety, or both.
There are many cases of brothers in the royal family turning against each other. It seemed that the emperor hated Prince Linhuai very much during that period, but now it seems that is not the case.
The heart of an emperor is really hard to predict.
As the saying goes, serving the king is like serving a tiger, and it is absolutely true.
The ministers blew their heads, and the sound of Prince Nan'an knelt and begged for mercy was still in their ears. This matter could be a big deal or a small one, it all depends on what the emperor thinks.
In the past, even if the Prince of Nan'an had the guts to do so, he would not have dared to use Xuan Zheng's injury to stab others.
This time he ended up losing more than he gained. He couldn't blame anyone else but himself for being too complacent.
Finally, the Prince of Nan'an was fined three years' salary for misbehaving in front of the palace, which was considered a small punishment but a great warning.
so far so good......
The cold sweat on Prince Nan'an's forehead kept flowing down. He didn't dare to wipe it off, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
The ministers understood that the emperor was most likely still thinking about Prince Linhuai. After all, he had raised him personally, so even if there were some disagreements, he would not allow others to make irresponsible remarks.
If you don’t believe it, just look at the Prince of Nan’an and you’ll know.
The Prince of Nan'an had been the one to stick his head out enough, so with a bruise on his forehead, he returned to his position, not daring to stand out again. In his heart, he only hoped that Lin Ruhai would also suffer for once, so that he would feel better.
He waited to see how Lin Ruhai would get through this.
Marquis Ning'an is Lin Ruhai's only son. Prince Nan'an would never believe that Lin Ruhai didn't know where his son was.
The only son has been missing for a few days, but Lin Ruhai doesn't seem to be worried, nor does the Lin family send anyone to look for him. They say they don't know, which is just fooling a fool.
He was waiting to see what would happen to Lin Ruhai.
The emperor looked at Lin Ruhai with a sullen face. Seeing that he looked frank and seemed to be truly unaware of the situation, he relaxed his expression and asked, "Marquis Ning'an has been missing for so long. Why didn't you send anyone to look for him? If anything happened to him, how will you explain it to... me?"
The ministers were confused. They thought that the other person was not in a hurry about his own son. To put it bluntly, even if the son was really lost, there was no need to report to the emperor. This was too strange.
What does the emperor mean?
Lin Ruhai naturally felt even more strange in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He only said: "Chengyu has the right ideas, and I can't do anything about him. I think he left in a hurry this time, so he didn't have time to tell his family. When he comes back, I will definitely discipline him strictly."
However, the ministers felt that he was just misleading and began to discuss the matter.
The most important thing is, if Ning Anhou doesn't come back, who will take on the tough job?
They naturally thought that since Ning'an Hou and Linhuai Wang had been friends for many years, they should have some tacit understanding and would be better at working together than them.
The ministers were whispering to each other, and in short, they were determined to get Lin Chengyu back.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, if we can't find Ning'an Hou, will we not fight this war?"
This group of cunning old men, who eat the salaries of the court, make excuses when it comes to hiring people, and push such an important task onto a child. Could it be that the court is full of parasites?
As the emperor said, the ministers did think so in their hearts, but even if they were stupid, they would not admit it. They only said: "Your Majesty, we are willing but unable. If we go to the border, we will only cause trouble for the prince."
Some even said: "Marquis Ning'an may have guessed it, so he hid himself. I didn't expect that he is young, but his thoughts are deeper than those of us."
When the others thought about it, they also felt that this was the case. Otherwise, why would Ning Anhou disappear immediately when the news of Prince Linhuai's injury came back?
Seeing that they were getting more and more outrageous, Lin Ruhai sneered, "My son is afraid of death? You are all heroes, but why didn't you heroes stand in front of the emperor and protect him that day?"
The few people who had just spoken were all evil-minded cowards. They were so angry and embarrassed by Lin Ruhai's words that they kept saying "you you you" for a long time and felt dizzy with anger.
Lin Ruhai said sarcastically, "I, Lin Ruhai, have never seen a hero who hides behind others and acts like a coward. Thanks to you gentlemen, I have learned a lot today."
A coward?!
Those people were so angry that they were half dead. They had never seen such a person before. Even when the civil servants were cursing each other, they always kept their words to themselves. They had never seen anyone curse like this in front of people before.
It's so unseemly.
Lin Ruhai doesn't look like someone who comes from a family of scholars. She is simply a shrew in the market, which is really a disgrace to society.
They are unwilling to be on the same level as such people and lose face.
Lin Ruhai looked at those people and shut his mouth angrily, too lazy to say anything to them. Just like Cheng Yu said, they were all garbage and not worth bothering with.
With those few people taking the lead, the ministers were also afraid that Lin Ruhai would scold them. One looked at that, and that looked at that, and no one dared to step forward.
What a joke. Being pointed at and scolded in front of so many people, I have lost all my dignity in my life.
However, the candidates to be sent to the border had not been decided yet. The civil officials were not worried, but several who were capable of leading troops were a little nervous, fearing that after the emperor saw them, he would issue an edict, and they would have no choice but to go.
Who dares to disobey the order?
Don't you die?
How can people feel at ease when a knife is hanging over their heads? Only when people have made their choice can they sleep peacefully.
Several generals looked at each other, and through their eyes, they felt that Marquis Ning'an had to go.
But who will say this? What will they say?
The Prince of Nan'an had already been defeated, and they were not as eloquent as the civil officials. If they stood out at this time, they would only invite criticism.
No one spoke in the court, and the generals even buried their heads in their crotches, for fear that the emperor would remember them.
The emperor felt a chill in his heart. These were his ministers. They spoke so nicely on weekdays, but when it came time to employ people, they were like the turtles that Lin Ruhai had described, and would rather hide their heads under their butts.
