Emperor Zhou had a generous character to begin with, and as he got older he became more adhering to the golden mean.
He knew that the emperor who offended the literati would not have a good reputation after his death, and he was worried about it.
Now that I am getting older, I often fight for the sake of the wise king and his reputation, so as to win over civil servants.
While allowing the ministers of the DPRK and China to impeach the British Duke, he remained unmoved and trusted the British Duke as usual.
In Lin Xi's opinion, his uncle would be accused of treason in a few years, and the consequences had been planted as early as today.
As long as there is a change of emperor, those traps will naturally become a sharp knife piercing the heart.
In the battle before my uncle's death, there was a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, and reinforcements and supplies were delayed. Already besieged on all sides, but the court officials framed him and failed to attack for a long time. He must be treasonous.
Zhongxiao, who ascended the throne as emperor, fully accepted these frame-ups and immediately sent people to kill his uncle's cronies in the capital, the Yijiu tribe.
However, the emperor of the enemy country had also fought in the war, and he valued his uncle's talents. He actually stopped the war for two days and offered a generous reward to persuade him to surrender.
Even though his uncle died in battle, he did not surrender.
Lin Xi's good life now depends entirely on his uncle, and he cannot let this happen.
She has been living in obscurity for so many years, so instead of adapting to the environment, she must take the initiative to rectify the environment!
Before her brother came to the capital, she first sorted it out roughly.
Huh, so as not to be scolded by his brother and punished by copying the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.

Chapter 16
◎You might as well chop me up! ◎
Emperor Zhou thought about it and said, "There are doubts about this matter, so don't announce it to the public for the time being."
Lin Xi lowered his eyes: "When I entered the palace just now, I happened to meet the adults from the previous court. The Tutor came to ask..."
Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Have you already said everything?"
Lin Xi: "The maid involved is outside the palace. The Tutor said that it is a serious crime for a slave to kill his master."
Not surprising, not surprising, not surprising, not exciting.
Prepare to reduce big things to small things Emperor Zhou:...
Others guessed that Emperor Zhou was planning to minimize the big deal:...
Wait, what does this have to do with the Crown Prince and Tutor?
Lin Xi got off the car in front of the gate of the city tower, and happened to meet the ministers going to court.
The head of the civil service, Taifu Yan, who had always been the leader in participating in the British Duke's performance, launched an attack on the spot under the city wall.
As the prince's tutor, he usually teaches the prince etiquette, talents, learning and political opinions, so that the prince can become a virtuous and talented prince.
It's nothing to blame Lin Xi now.
The civil servants and generals who got off the sedan at the city gate also looked over.
Civil servants planned and participated in the British public affairs, which led to lax governance.
The military generals hope that the matter will be settled soon so that the British public will not be at the forefront.
Lin Xi won’t wait!
This old man has always been a model of self-restraint and etiquette, so he can't help but find trouble!
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Xi said with a sad face: "I shouldn't have mentioned it because it is related to the Lin family's reputation, but since the adults asked about it, I didn't dare to hide it."
Ministers: "..."
They guessed there was something else going on, but do you want to tell it now? Is this appropriate?
Lin Xi: "It was the maid of the Lin Mansion who pushed me into the water yesterday. I was timid and was afraid of being killed again, so I hid. It was probably because of the shops in the alleys of Dongjiaolou..."
That being said, you can make up your own mind.
Sincerity is the greatest nirvana. The master who was ready to reprimand was stuck.
All the ministers were choked by the melon, and some of them lost their expressions.
Is this how everyone in the Lin family manages their families?
When it comes to talking about it, no one has anything embarrassing to do. But causing uproar in the city is another matter!
The Taifu said dryly: "It is a serious crime for a slave to kill his master. This happened because of you, and you can't let go of the relationship."
Lin Xi: "My lord, I will definitely repent sincerely in front of His Majesty."
In order to suppress her laughter, she recalled all the sad things in the past ten years.
In line with the principle of not being afraid of a big funeral, and taking advantage of the unequal information between the two parties, she wanted to sneak attack on a wave of sanctimonious old comrades.
In the Xingqing Hall, Lin Xi recounted the Taifu's words, but she only said half a sentence.
At present, all the ministers "know" that the witness has been taken outside the palace. It is impossible for Emperor Zhou to conceal it intentionally, so he can only announce the person to come in.
Jin Chai entered the hall and knelt on the ground without saying a word, his body trembling and he kept kowtowing.
She was worried that she would be silenced, so she escaped while the Lin Mansion was in chaos.
She didn't run far before she was intercepted by Shan Wu who was secretly following her.
Jin Chai was frightened all night, but she didn't expect that this morning, the man who arrested her said that Miss Sanfang was safe and sound.
As long as she can tell the truth truthfully, she can survive.
Since you can live, you naturally have to give it a try.
Concubine Li wanted to shut up the maid who was kneeling on the ground, but she couldn't be too straightforward in front of everyone.
She said with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Xi: "My Majesty, I want you to tell the truth, otherwise you will be charged with deceiving the emperor."
Concubine Li: "..."
This is not what I mean!
"This slave knows." Jin Chai kowtowed again and then raised his head.
"It was the second son of the Earl of Leling who asked me to push the young lady into the lake. He said that he would go into the water to save people. The two of them hugged each other with their clothes wet, and the young lady had no choice but to marry him!"
Concubine Li: "You are so brave! You dare to make false accusations without evidence!"
Jin Chai trembled: "My servant is not lying. The second young master gave me fifty taels of silver, and said that after the matter is completed, there will be one hundred taels left. I can also serve as the dowry for the young lady of the third house and go to the Earl's Mansion together."
She trembled and took out the silver from her arms.
Emperor Zhou also knew that the family's methods would inevitably be dirty, but it was one thing to bring trouble in front of him.
Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, since it can no longer be covered up, Lin Xi has suffered such great injustice and almost lost his life. He must give an explanation to the British public no matter what.
"The Earl of Leling is not strict in educating his children. He will be fined 500, and his estate will be cut in half. Wang Yi will punish him with 40 sticks!"
The Earl of Leling was rewarded by him for the sake of Concubine Li and Prince Duan, so he took on a false position.
When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty wants a fine and Xiaoshi. The ministers and concubines have admitted it. However, Wang Yi is about to take the exam. He has to read and review every day! There must be no injuries on his body!"
Emperor Zhou felt soft-hearted when he heard that his concubine Pear Blossom was praying for rain. After all, the scientific examination was a major event...
Lin Xi: "I don't know if my uncle will have time to read. He has injuries all over his body. I just hope that he can drink less medicine today than yesterday."
The two fell in love when they met, and it was inevitable that the emperor would suffer a loss if his uncle was not by the emperor's side.
Therefore, someone needs to remind them from time to time, so that the constantly swaying Emperor Zhou will be more biased towards them.
When Emperor Zhou heard what she said, he felt a little angry when he thought about the hard work of fighting on the British battlefield.
"Fight forty!"
Concubine Li did not dare to resent the emperor, but she did not want to suffer alone.
She stood up from the ground, straightened her clothes and said, "The Queen has been summoning Miss Lin to the palace to bring her and the prince together. Miss Lin claimed to be ill and avoided it for half a month. Wang Yi was obsessed with missing Miss Lin and couldn't see her for a long time. , will do stupid things."
Emperor Zhou: "What? Did the Queen say that she often summoned Lin Xi into the palace to appease the British prince? Prince, is this your idea?"
Prince: "I don't dare."
The Queen looked at Concubine Li: "Why bother with me? This matter is because you want your nephew to marry Lin Xi, so as to win over the British Duke."
Lin Xi: "You can't blame the queen. It was Princess Pingning who arranged it. I don't know why she is like this."
Princess Pingning: "How dare you slander me!"
Emperor Zhou looked around and his head was about to explode. How many things did this big family do behind his back! He's not dead yet!
Lin Xi: "It's my daughter who asked Your Majesty to worry about it."
It's only interesting when things are made as big as they can be, until they can't be covered up.
"It's not your fault." Emperor Zhou's forehead jumped, and he made a decision in his heart. As an emperor who has controlled the government for many years, he issued decrees one by one.
"The prince will be fined half a year's salary, and the governor of Yangzhou will be reduced."
