Lin Jinwen took the confession presented by Chen Yan, the minister of punishment, and looked at it, his eyes darkened.

Chen Yan's words used Lin Songren's mouth to reaffirm that Lin Jinwen's background was not a problem.The sons of Lin Songren and Liu's family are already dead, and Liu's family has been killed by him, not a noble concubine in the palace.

No matter whether anyone believes it or not, there are many loopholes in this statement, but Lin Songren said it himself.

To some extent, the minister of punishment is on his side.

During Lin Jinwen's silence, Old General Liu raised his eyelids, and said with a somber face, "Your Highness, since Lin Songren admitted to murdering the veteran's daughter, he committed suicide in fear of crime, and the old minister begs His Royal Highness to hand him over to the veteran."

Lin Jinwen raised his eyes when he heard this, and said: "Lin Songren was ordered to adopt the orphan, but he never fulfilled his duty and even intended to kill the orphan. Later, he conspired against the second prince Zhou An, and all the crimes he committed were capital crimes. It is an unforgivable crime. He has committed a heinous crime, and since he committed suicide in fear of crime, it is not too much for General Liu to ask so much, so let the corpse be handled by General Liu."

Old General Liu naturally stepped forward to thank him. Lin Songren was dead, and before he died, he had committed the crime of killing his wife and son, but in the eyes of Old General Liu, he wished he could smash this man to ashes.

It was too cheap for him to die so easily.

Lin Jinwen went on to say: "After all, the Lin family has raised Gu, and they are kind to Gu Nai. Lin Songren is dead, and the disaster will not be as good as his descendants. His son Lin Wenjuan will be spared the death penalty, and the rest will be exiled in Lingnan."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and couldn't say anything else. In the end, they could only say that the prince is wise.

Lin Jinwen looked at their expressions from a high place, with a smile that was neither salty nor light in his eyes.He thought, people in this world are so weird, especially this ancient man, who seems to be full of contradictions in his bones.

What Lin Songren committed was a capital crime, but Lin Jinwen really dealt with him like this, the corpse was taken away by General Liu, and they would feel that Lin Jinwen was too cold and ignorant of his past kindness.

If Lin Jinwen really let Lin Songren go, they will be there to force him to say that Lin Jinwen is lawless and has set a bad example, which is not good for the future. In short, no matter what they do, they can find a way to refute this person Excuse.

Now Lin Songren is dead, not so gloriously, Lin Jinwen didn't take his death seriously.But at the same time, he spared Lin Wenjuan with the kindness of the Lin family's upbringing.

In the eyes of some people, Lin Jinwen's handling of the Lin family was still not perfect.But this kind of thing can't be perfect in the eyes of others, and Lin Jinwen never thought about being a wise king who can't make mistakes.

He just let Lin Wenjuan take advantage of Lin Songren's death. Back in the palace, when everyone wanted to put the blame on Lin Jinwen, Lin Wenjuan finally spoke up for him.

He didn't have a good impression of the elders of the Lin family, and he had only average feelings for the two brothers and sisters, Lin Wenjuan and Lin Wenxiu.The two of them protected him at critical moments, and he was able to let others go.

It's just that he doesn't have a big heart. As for Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Lin, they tried to harm Gu Qinglin over and over again.Whether it's his own thoughts or being deceived by Lin Songren, Lin Jinwen thinks that this person will always be punished for doing something wrong.

It was for Lin Wenjuan's sake that they were exiled to Lingnan without their lives.

As for the follow-up issues after Lin Songren's death, many people may suspect that Lin Songren's death was strange. Why did he say such a thing before he died, belittle himself to the dust, and die on such a charge.

Did he suddenly commit suicide under the threat of Lin Jinwen or Old General Liu? After all, they were the ones who had a grudge against Lin Songren and tried to cover up the truth.

All kinds of conjectures that were not conducive to Lin Jinwen, when the news of Lin Songren's death came, Lin Jinwen already had various thoughts in his mind.But he doesn't care, he really doesn't have that much thought about fame.

Some people may think that Lin Jinwen is not a person who likes to see blood. He used forbearance and scheming in the struggle for the throne, and he never took the initiative to harm anyone.So you can use these rules to trap him and make him the wise king in your mind.

Lin Jinwen knew his own temperament best in his heart, he was an extremely indifferent person.It was a complete accident that Gu Qinglin could walk into his heart. If neither of the two of them was framed in the first place, and he had to be responsible for Gu Qinglin, it would probably take a long, long time for Gu Qinglin to walk into his heart. .

Now Gu Qinglin and Lin Zaozao are the people Lin Jinwen puts on top of his heart, Xiao Rugui and Liu Junxi are his friends, General Liu is his relatives, Lin Wenjuan and Lin Wenxiu are more familiar than strangers ordinary people.

Lin Jinwen knew very well that if Lin Songren hadn't died, he wouldn't let him go.Just like if he did not win this competition, then Lin Songren would acquiesce to the accusations made by the second prince Zhou An against him, and all the things that happened in the past would be held on his head.

At that time, his own ending will also be ruined.

Gu Qinglin and Lin Zaozao naturally couldn't escape death, Lin Songren would think of Liu Shi when he saw him, it was a hurdle in his heart, no matter how he walked over it.

So after he succeeds, what awaits Lin Songren is death.

Now that Lin Songren is dead, maybe Concubine Lin Gui has made a move here, and maybe Old General Liu has also made a contribution.Lin Jinwen doesn't want to know what's wrong with it at all, if someone wants to make trouble by it, then he won't be polite.

Thinking about these things, Lin Jinwen suddenly wanted to see Gu Qinglin, so he said, "If you have nothing else to do, let's leave today."

Some courtiers wanted to say something, but they opened their mouths and didn't know what to say, and finally followed Lin Jinwen's words and left.The only one who didn't leave was Qin Nan who was kneeling on the ground. Qin Nan was an old man with a poisonous mouth. He had offended many people in the court. Everyone wanted to use him to find trouble. When something happened to him, not many people stood up for him.

When Old General Liu left, he glanced at Qin Nan and left.

After everyone in the hall had left, Lin Jinwen walked slowly to Qin Nan, leaned over and helped him up himself, and said, "Thank you Qin Yushi for today."

There was a wry smile on Qin Nan's face. He seemed to be a few years older suddenly. He sighed, "It's His Royal Highness who has a plan in mind. The old minister is just following orders. How dare he accept His Highness's praise."

What he said was a bit yin and yang, but Lin Jinwen didn't care.Qin Nan has the unique arrogance of a literati, and he often has his eyes on his forehead.

In recent days, he was first threatened by the emperor and then threatened by himself and returned favors. It is understandable that he feels a little aggrieved.

In fact, Qin Nan felt a little regretful after saying that. Ever since he was arrested and released from the sky prison last time, he returned home and looked at his wife who was hugging and crying, and his heart softened a lot. The speaker who can say what he wants to say.

With scruples in my heart, it is inevitable that I will not be as tough as before in speaking and doing things.

He has kept his private life clean all these years, just wanting to use his meager strength to dedicate his strength to the country and the family so that he will not be caught by others.The last time the emperor asked him to fight against the eldest prince Zhou Rui or else he would be executed all over the house. He also felt that the eldest prince could not be reused, so he agreed.

This time, Lin Jinwen found Qin Nan and asked him to criticize him on the first day Lin Jinwen came to court as the crown prince, in order to avoid too many uncertainties affecting him in the future.

In addition, he already knew that it was Lin Jinwen who let his wife go, otherwise his wife who had been with him for a lifetime might suffer in the prison, so Qin Nan agreed.

Qin Nan suddenly asked Lin Jinwen to reflect on himself in the hall, but Lin Jinwen calmly retorted, even blocking the emperor in front.In the future, if someone carefully designed these things to make Lin Jinwen jump into it, Lin Jinwen's attitude today has already explained everything.

Although these things did not violate Qin Nan's own will, even he always felt that he had succumbed to the power and violated the ancestral seal of officials.

For a while, he lost interest. He felt that he was no longer what he used to be, and he would definitely do things like this in the future.

Qin Nan didn't want to live in such a life of being threatened by others, it would make him feel extremely aggrieved, so he said: "Your Highness, the old minister is old and has many discomforts in his body. Your Highness the Crown Prince approves."

Lin Jinwen said: "If Qin Yushi is unhappy, he can go directly to the East Palace and tell Gu, don't mention the matter of retiring from old age and returning home."

Qin Nan wanted to say something else, but Lin Jinwen waved his hand and said, "Qin Yushi doesn't need to say more, there is still something to do in Gudong Palace, Qin Yushi has worked hard today, go back and have a good rest."

After Lin Jinwen said this, he lifted his legs and left. Qin Nan looked at his back. After a long time, he shook his head secretly in his heart and bluntly said that he was stupid.Now that he is retiring and returning home, wouldn't Lin Jinwen be the chief culprit for driving him back?

Lin Jinwen didn't care much about his reputation, but he didn't need to be told that he was heartless all the time.

Qin Nan, who had figured this out, heaved a long sigh, said a few words, getting old, and slowly walked out of the palace.

Lin Jinwen headed straight to the East Palace, he originally wanted to see the emperor first, but his desire to see Gu Qinglin overwhelmed everything else.

Back in the East Palace, Gu Qinglin was feeding Lin Zaozao, with Wang Po, Polygonatum and Sanqi standing beside her.

Yuzhu and Sanqi are still a little shy, they know that inside and outside the palace are different, the two of them represent Gu Qinglin's face.It would be Gu Qinglin's fault if they were caught in the wrong.

Lin Jinwen is the crown prince now, Gu Qinglin is the only master in the backyard of the East Palace.

When everyone saw Lin Jinwen hurriedly saluting, Gu Qinglin hugged Lin Zaozao and wanted to stand up, but Lin Jinwen had already walked to his side and said, "What are you doing, sit down quickly."

Gu Qinglin frowned and pursed her lips and said, "Etiquette cannot be neglected."

"There are so many etiquettes between us." Lin Jinwen said, the corner of Gu Qinglin's mouth twitched slightly, and a smile appeared.

Lin Jinwen looked at Lin Zaozao who was drinking goat's milk. Now Lin Zaozao was white, tender and cute, with big and round eyes, and there was a bit of Lin Jinwen's shadow between his brows and eyes.

Lin Jinwen looked at him, feeling extremely soft in his heart, and then he asked, "Has he had enough?" Lin Zaozao was very cute, but he really wanted to be alone with Gu Qinglin for a while.

Gu Qinglin's hands paused slightly, he put down the goat milk, handed Lin Zaozao to Wang Po who was beside him and said naturally, "I'm full."
