I heard you have nine tails

No one expected that Lu Yan's impeachment of His Majesty and the Prince would progress to this point.

Now that things have happened, Li Lin has become more careful.It is one thing that the national teacher has not yet spoken, and another point is that the former third prince, and now King Jingnan has his own power in the court.However, he was dismissed too quickly, and these forces have not yet come in handy.

Just because it hasn't come in handy doesn't mean it won't come in handy forever, and the closer it is to this kind of time, the more careful the opponent is going to fight to the death.

Zhan Shifu and Li Lin's ideas were highly consistent, and they suddenly became low-key and calm. They didn't even plan to join in the fun of such a major event as the grounding of political opponents.When Li Ji went out of Beijing, Li Lin didn't send it off in person, but borrowed Empress Xu's hand to add many things to Princess Jingjiang.

However, as they waited in fear, one day, two days... more than ten days passed, the second prince Li Yun became a vassal, the third prince Li Ji was grounded, and the Yao family was also taken to Beijing for trial. speech.

Could it be that he was afraid?Li Lin couldn't tell either.

Because of the inconvenience, he often called people from Zhan Shi's mansion to visit the mansion, and Tan Xiaohu reluctantly took on the role of counselor. "Nowadays, regardless of whether the Yao family will be convicted or not, His Majesty must have lost patience with them after repeated accidents. The second prince is disabled and is about to leave the feudal domain. The family of the third prince and mother has lost his sacred heart. The fourth prince is still young. Xiao, Empress Xu is on your side again, I'm afraid no one will be able to shake your position."

"I hope so." Li Lin stared at Tan Chang with heavy eyes, he had something to say, but couldn't say it.

In the past, he had no desires or desires, and his only goal was to successfully succeed to the throne, to be a more competent emperor than his father, and to dedicate his life to the people of Dazhao.Because his mother passed away, and Mr. Tan passed away, all the people Li Lin cared about left him, and he was no longer afraid of anything.

But now it's different.Tan Chang appeared.Tan Chang is his little junior brother, all the warmth of the old days, and his most beloved pet, who should not be bullied.Most importantly, Tan Chang is the one he loves.

Once a person has love, he learns to fear.

Li Lin would not express his fear easily, he would only stare at Tan Chang with deep eyes, seeing Tan Chang blushing and heart beating, and finally scolded him in a low voice.Only then did Li Lin hold Tan Chang in his arms, and after some intimacy, the two quietly stared in a daze for a while.

There are fewer and fewer opportunities to be in a daze.

It is rainy in April, but it is not as bright as the spring day. From time to time, it is cloudy and thunderous.One of the princes in the palace became a vassal, and the other was grounded, and the space was suddenly much quieter.When Li Lin walked in the palace city, he would always hear eunuchs and maids whispering, but when he looked back, there was no one there, as if a ghost was talking.

After Yao's family was taken to the middle of the capital, Emperor Jinghe announced the convening of a grand court meeting.

The day before the Great Court Meeting, Li Lin was uncharacteristically restless.What the Yao family will do after the Great Court Meeting will be a given. No matter what bargaining chips the State Teacher has in hand, tomorrow will be the only chance for a showdown.

What will he do?

Li Lin paced around in the study.

He had already instructed Zhan Shifu and Xianyang Palace in detail, and it would be a bit long-winded to waste any more words.But he always felt that he was missing something, a line floating in his memory, elusive, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

"Boom—"

The thunder began again outside the window.

The room was extremely hot and stuffy, so Li Lin said casually, "Open the window."

"Oh." Tan Chang walked over to open the window, and a gust of wind blew in, rolling the paper on the table to the ground.

Tan Chang bent down to pick it up, and Li Lin also walked over to help him pick it up.

Most of these people copied the "Daily Records", but they all read the ins and outs of Empress Chen's death, and even the funeral ceremony, and they still didn't find any problems.

Empress Chen's birth left the root cause of her illness and she has always been weak. There is no evidence to say that someone murdered her.How did Mr. Tan see it on paper?

"Why do you think about entering the palace together with Taoist priests, please praise me."

A line of words jumped into my eyes.Li Lin blinked his eyes. This was the first time that the later national teacher and his disciple Dongxu Daoist appeared in "Life Notes".Just after the death of Empress Chen, King Hedi was devastated, and suddenly a Taoist priest appeared, claiming that Emperor Jinghe could see the queen again.

Li Lin thought of something, but before he could think about it, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Your Highness!" It was Jinse's voice.Had to turn up the volume due to the thunder and rain outside.

Tan Chang turned back into a fox in the blink of an eye, jumped onto the table and sat down.

"What's wrong?" Li Lin opened the door.It's late at this time, and it is said that there will be nothing more.

Jinse looked flustered.She said: "The little girl Zhuye has gone somewhere, I didn't see her when I was counting people just now."

Li Lin's pupils shrank, and he said: "Don't worry about it, I won't find her if I go out to look for it today. If she doesn't come back tomorrow, you can ask someone to look for her again. No matter what, you must guard Xianyang Palace."

Jinse nodded and backed away.

The moment the door was closed, there was another flash of lightning, illuminating the palace room, and after a while, thunder broke out.

Li Lin suddenly looked back at Tan Chang, and he asked, "Why did you leave at that time?"

Tan Chang understood, although he was a little surprised.Fox turned into a boy.He replied, "Mr. Tan let me go."

"Why did he let you go?" Li Lin asked again.

Tan Chang only said four words: "It's a crime to conceive a jade."

It has always been the case to conceive a jade.

Li Lin approached and hugged the boy's thin waist from behind. "Tomorrow..." He spoke slowly, his voice was so low that only Tan Chang, who was close at hand, could hear him clearly. "Tomorrow, you hide first. If I don't come back on time, you will leave the palace."

Tan Chang turned his head in disbelief.

"I took you out of the palace many times, you should remember the way?" Li Lin asked.

Tan Chang nodded, still staring at him in shock.

"That's good. I believe you can escape. Don't believe anyone. Even the people in Xianyang Palace." Li Lin tightened his arms, "You know where the money in my house is kept. After you escape , you leave the capital first, find a place to hide, don't turn into a human form, don't let people discover your identity again."

He paused for a long time before saying, "If I'm fine and you still want to come back, come back."

"You said that you would not leave me behind." Tan Chang said slowly.

"Yeah." Li Lin involuntarily looked away. "At that time, I complained that the teacher shouldn't let you go, but now I understand what he thinks."

Masters and spells.With these things involved, Li Lin had to be cautious.Tan Chang's identity was too alluring, and when he was by his side, he would be involved at some point.

Tan Chang turned around suddenly and took the initiative to hug him. "Promise me we'll all protect ourselves."

Li Lin nodded incredulously.

Early the next morning, Li Lin changed into court clothes and was ready to go out.Before dawn, the little fox was lying on the bed with his belly upturned, sleeping deeply.Li Lin didn't want to disturb him, so he took Deshan out after dinner.

Deshan struggled to hold the umbrella while shielding Li Lin from the wind.The rain hadn't stopped, but the thunder had stopped and the sky looked more oppressive.

After the bell tolled, all the officials kowtowed. "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Jinghe was supported by Eunuch Gao and sat on the throne.This is also the first time Li Lin has seen him in so many days.The national teacher, who has always been a dragon but never sees the end, also appeared.He still had his belly up like that, with a funny look, but the inscrutable smile of the past was gone, only solemnity and a flash of viciousness remained.

Li Lin clenched his hands in his sleeves silently, he already felt the ominous omen.

Jing Hedi's eyes were like torches, and his voice was loud. "Xuan Yao Xinjun, Yao Zhiyuan."

Yao Xinjun was an official of the third rank anyway, and Emperor Jing He didn't humiliate him, and ordered him to play at home to avoid suspicion.But for Yao Xinjun and his son, they were not so polite.

Li Lin felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Yao Zhiyuan supported Yao Xinjun, and the emperor's personal guards brought him to the court hall, bowed his head and kowtowed.Both appeared to have injuries to their legs.

The Ministry of Punishment presented the two confessions, which were read out by Eunuch Gao himself.

The guards who went to Huaiyang to search the house found no illegal products from Yao's house, but Jingzhong was not so lucky. In addition to the cloud dragon pattern satin, there were also bright yellow and apricot yellow fabrics in other courtyards.

Ming Huang is reserved for emperors, and Xing Huang is reserved for princes.

Now Yao Xinhong couldn't escape, so he took off his black hat on the spot.

Yao Xinhong knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that someone had hurt him.Yao Xinjun said that Jiancheng didn't know about it, and it had nothing to do with him—this may not be a lie.He is far away in Huaiyang, even if he wants to, he can't restrain his elder brother who is an official.

Li Lin weighed in his heart while listening.

"Few people know about your other village, and I have never heard of it. Who who is lucky enough to go there will intentionally harm you?" Emperor Jing He just looked at Yao Xinhong coldly, as if looking at a dead person.

Yao Xinhong's body shrank, but he was speechless for a long time.Li Lin noticed that Li Ji's face was pale and his lips were still moving.

Yao Xinhong is not a fool. As a relative, it is more difficult for him to sit on the throne in person than ascend to the sky.What's more, Xinghuang is for the crown prince's exclusive use. Could it be that he is still in a hurry to be Jing Hedi's son?These things must not be his, however, he cannot say.

If the third prince Li Ji is finished, then the Yao family is really finished.

The Yao family has become an outcast, and the third prince and his party will no longer speak for them.

Li Lin just closed his eyes in pity for a moment.He really didn't expect that the third brother's obsession with that position had reached this point.

However, he chose the road by himself. He had such an obsession, but he was caught by others. There is nothing to say about it.

Naturally, more than one person saw this, and there were many people who wanted to use this to pull Li Ji off his horse, but Yao Xinhong was not stupid, although he kept shouting about being wronged, he never mentioned the third prince.

However, he didn't mention it, but someone did.

Yao Zhiyuan knelt and took two steps forward, and kowtowed heavily. "Your Majesty, the grass-roots people once lived in my uncle's house, and I overheard that the Third Highness came to live away, and my uncle went to entertain him."

Yao Zhiyuan's few words changed the situation in the hall drastically, even the national teacher's expression changed.Yao Xinhong and Yao Xinjun suddenly looked up at him, and Li Lin looked at Yao Zhiyuan in disbelief.Does he really know what he's talking about?

Yao Zhiyuan's cheeks were slightly sunken, pale and tired, but his kneeling posture was upright, and his demeanor could still tell the demeanor of a master.Even though he had no fame and was watched by everyone in the court, he only swayed slightly and stabilized his body.

he knows.Li Lin suddenly understood.Yao Zhiyuan really changed a lot.It was precisely because he knew what it meant that he said that, he wanted to completely draw a line between the Yao family and Li Ji.

However, in the officialdom, there are a few mothers who have the courage to separate themselves from the prince.Looking at the eyes of Yao Xinjun and Yao Xinhong, one can see how much courage this decision requires.

Emperor Jinghe threw the memorial and went out, Li Ji knelt down to plead guilty, and the hearts of the three princes sank at the same time.

It’s over.

It's not over yet!

The eyes of the national teacher suddenly lit up, and Li Lin was startled.

A censor came out and knelt down, and said loudly: "I have a book to play!"

"Chen Shen, the crown prince, favors and trusts his ministers, delays his official duties, acts recklessly, and disrupts the harem!"
