"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Zhou Cang respectfully accepted the order, then called two guards and rode away.
At this point, Wang Lin sat back in the carriage.
on the next journey.
Wang Lin's cavalry traveled day and night.
I only rested for half a day.
When their horses got tired, they went to the inn to change horses.
In this way, in the early morning of the third day, I finally saw the towering city walls of the capital.
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
Zhou Cang was outside the carriage, looked towards the city gate, and reported respectfully.
Wang Lin opened the car curtain and looked up.
I didn't expect that I would be back so soon.
He was summoned back by the imperial brother.
"Let's go to Beijing!"
Wang Lin glanced at the city gate, sighed, and waved his hand to order.
"yes!"
Zhou Cang accepted the order, stepped forward and ordered: "Enter the city!"
With his order, the team set off again.
After Wang Lin returned to Beijing, he first went back to his house to settle down.
I originally thought of taking a day off and meeting the emperor's brother tomorrow, but the news of his return to the city spread like wildfire.
Before he could go home and warm his stool, he received a summons from the emperor.
Wang Lin went straight to prepare the sedan chair without stopping and arrived outside the imperial city.
When the palace guards saw Wang Lin, they respectfully stepped forward to lead him.
Wang Chen has already settled all this.
The guards took Wang Lin directly to Wang Chen's imperial study.
At this time, in the imperial study room.
Wang Chen is writing poetry.
"Your Majesty! Prince Lin is here!"
The little eunuch behind the door saw Wang Lin and the guards coming, and hurriedly reported the news respectfully.
When Wang Chen heard this, he put down the pen and paper in his hand and went out to greet him with a smile: "Emperor brother! Thank you for your hard work all the way back!"
"Your Majesty, please don't work hard!"
Wang Lin was also very polite, stepped forward and responded respectfully.
"Come on, come in and talk!"
Wang Chen said as he pulled Wang Lin into his study room.
When you come here, you don't need to talk about too many rules.
Because this is the emperor's back garden.
When he was here, he usually did not see court officials.
He would only receive them when he went to his Heart Cultivation Hall.
This has also become an unwritten rule.
Someone reported that as long as they heard that the emperor was in the imperial study, they would have to come another day.
"Come, tell me about the situation of going out this time."
Wang Chen gave up his seat to Wang Rin and asked the palace maid to pour tea. Then he looked at Wang Rin with interest and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply touched by this trip to the capital. We in Great Xia still have many problems that need to be solved. We are far from as prosperous as we appear on the surface."
After hearing Wang Chen's words, Wang Lin sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice: "Especially the corrupt officials! The people who are exploited can hardly survive! It can be said that the wine and meat of the rich family are so stinky that the roads will freeze to death!"
"Royal brother, I am very pleased that you have solved the big problem in Shuiyun County. As for these deep-rooted problems, we can only solve them step by step!"
After listening to Wang Lin's words, Wang Chen sighed helplessly and said.
"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to summon your younger brother?"
In fact, Wang Lin already knew something about the situation, but he still wanted to hear Wang Chen tell him clearly what was going on.
"Liu Ming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and his disciples are impeaching you, saying that you are embezzling and violating the law! I called you back to confirm this matter! If they come up with groundless lies, I will find a way to deal with them."
After listening to Wang Lin's words, Wang Chen finally told the truth.
"Your Majesty, a lot of treasures were indeed found in Tao Tianming's house, but these were used to build the canal and were distributed to the people! You can check these locally, and I also have an account book! We can all proofread it!"
Wang Lin looked at Wang Chen and said in a deep voice.
He knew that Wang Chen was anxious to call him back because so many people were impeaching him, which made him suspicious.
Otherwise, he would not have been so desperate that he would have to summon him back.
"Okay! If that's the case, then I have a bottom line! If they impeach again, I will personally ask them to go there! Let's see what else they can say!"
After hearing Wang Lin's words, Wang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
He usually believed in Wang Lin's words.
The most important thing is that Wang Lin has never deceived him.
That's why the relationship between the two is so good.
If it were anyone else, he would have been imprisoned long ago, and letting him come to his imperial study room is simply a fantasy.
"Your Majesty! Tomorrow morning! They know that my brother will definitely cause trouble when he comes back. Then I will let them retreat!"
Wang Lin looked at Wang Chen, smiled and said.
"Okay! Imperial brother! You have worked hard these past few days! Go back and rest!"
Wang Chen saw Wang Lin's haggard look and said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first!"
After hearing this, Wang Lin stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Okay! Brother Huang, have a good night's rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"
Wang Chen nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Wang Lin respectfully accepted the order and then hurriedly retreated.
That's it.
The meeting between the two brothers soon spread in the capital.
After Wang Lin and Wang Chen said goodbye, they went directly back to the house.
Since he was on the road for days, it was too late for him to return home.
After Wang Lin entered the room, he fell asleep directly.
This time, he slept in darkness.
Until the end, he was woken up by Su Hongxiu.
"Hongxiu, what time is it now?"
Wang Lin rubbed his eyes and asked with a yawn.
"Your Majesty, it happens to be time for morning court."
Su Hongxiu listened to Wang Lin's words and responded quickly.
"Quick! Prepare the sedan!"
As soon as Wang Lin heard Su Hongxiu's words, he stood up and started to get dressed.
He didn't expect that he could sleep through it either.
So, after a lot of fussing, he got on the sedan chair and went straight to the palace.
…
Bactrian Palace.
In front of Jinluan Hall.
Wang Chen sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials below.
However, he searched and searched but could not find Wang Lin, which made him frown.
"Your Majesty! The minister wants to impeach Prince Lin!"
At this moment, Liu Ming stood up, holding his memorial, showing an awe-inspiring look.
"Your Majesty, the humble minister! We also want to impeach Prince Lin!"
"Your Majesty! I am impeaching Prince Lin!"
"..."
With Liu Ming taking the lead, many of his friends and colleagues behind him also stepped forward and impeached Wang Lin together with their own memorials.
"Let's see! Who wants to impeach me!"
At this moment, Wang Lin arrived late.
His voice was loud and echoed in front of Nuo Da’s Jinluan Hall.
"Prince Lin! I am impeaching you! You are corrupt and perverting the law! You are plotting to kill an official of the imperial court!"
When Liu Ming saw that everyone was silent, he once again took the lead, stood up and said coldly.
"What evidence do you have to prove that this king is corrupt and perverting the law!"
Wang Lin sneered, looked at Liu Ming, and asked word by word through gritted teeth.
