Chapter 727: What happened back then
"waste."
In the Third Prince's Mansion, after receiving the news, the Third Prince was so angry that he threw a room full of expensive furniture and porcelain.
I thought that Lin Mu would suffer a big loss this time, but unexpectedly, something happened before Yin Siyuan was officially granted the title.
"This matter cannot be left alone. This Xichuan newspaper office is definitely inseparable from Lin Mu. This little bastard dares to overthrow the marquis appointed by the father. This is a blatant insult to the father."
The third prince's eyes flashed with a cold light, "I will enter the palace immediately. I only need to speak in front of my father. I don't believe that I can't cure you, a little viscount."
"Come here, please drive into the palace."
Immediately, he ordered someone to drive him around, and then walked towards the palace.
When they arrived at the Qianqing Hall, the third prince found that the atmosphere in the palace was extremely dull, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. This time his father must have been really angry, and Lin Mu was definitely dead.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Upon entering the palace, the third prince immediately bowed and paid homage.
"Get flat."
King Yan's tone was cold.
The third prince stood up quickly and looked at King Yan. He immediately saw that King Yan's face was very gloomy, and he said immediately: "Father, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"explain."
King Yan's eyes were calm.
"Father, in my opinion, the Xichuan Newspaper Company and Lin Mu have gone too far. They don't care about the overall situation of Yan State or your face."
The third prince perked up and said sonorously, "How wise my father is, how could he not know that there is something wrong with Yin Siyuan? It's just that our country, Yan, has not won a big victory in a long time, and we need such a victory to boost morale."
"But the Xichuan Newspaper Company actually exposed Yin Siyuan's affairs at this juncture for its own selfish interests, blatantly damaging the overall situation, and even detrimental to the prestige of the father. It is really a heinous crime."
"Oh? In your opinion, how should I punish Xichuan Newspaper Club and Lin Mu?"
King Yan said calmly, making it difficult to see his emotions.
The third prince thought that King Yan was acknowledging his words, and was even more secretly happy. He hurriedly said: "Seal down the Xichuan Newspaper Office immediately and imprison Lin Mu to safeguard the supreme majesty of the father..."
Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, King Yan suddenly raised the tea cup at hand and hit the third prince's head hard.
King Yan was so powerful, but this ordinary tea cup immediately hit the Third Prince, the Emperor Wu, on his forehead, causing bleeding, and his face was covered with tea leaves and water, making him extremely embarrassed.
"Father?"
The third prince stood blankly on the spot, looking at King Yan incomprehensibly.
"Bastard thing."
King Yan said coldly, "Do you really think I don't know what you are planning? If Concubine Ning hadn't told me that you secretly colluded with the elders of Taixuan Sect and the leader of the Silver Fist Society to plot against Lin Mu, and Lin Mu had no choice but to fight back, I would have really thought You were kept in the dark.”
"Very good. You are getting more and more courageous. You can use a borrowed knife to kill people. First you took Yin Siyuan's knife, and now you think of me as your murder knife?"
boom!
The third prince turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down, "Father, please forgive me. Father, please forgive me. I don't dare. I don't dare."
It's just that he secretly hates Ning Qingyu, a bitch. In recent years, King Yan has been practicing martial arts in seclusion and rarely pays attention to outside things.
If Ning Qingyu hadn't interfered, how would King Yan have known about these things? Then his plan would have succeeded easily.
"If you join forces with ordinary sect forces, I will turn a blind eye or close one eye. But what kind of force is Taixuan Sect? Are the inheritance holy places in Wuliang Mountain not paying enough attention to the royal families of our seven countries?"
King Yan said angrily, "Are you trying to lure a wolf into your house?"
"Father, I am just confused for a moment, and I have absolutely no disloyalty to our country of Yan and you, my father."
The third prince said in fear.
"No?"
King Yan sneered, "Then you let me seize the Xichuan Newspaper and imprison Lin Mu? As soon as Yin Siyuan's incident happened, I seize the Xichuan Newspaper that exposed his crime, and Lin Mu, who might be the person behind the scenes, you let the world What do people think of a humble person? Are you trying to put me in a position of injustice?"
"I don't dare. I really don't dare."
The third prince was really scared this time.
"The third prince, Li Shirong, has not cultivated his moral character. From now on, he will be locked up for three months. He will not be allowed to set foot in the mansion, and his salary will be cut in half."
King Yan did not listen to his explanation and gave the order coldly.
After hearing this, the third prince felt dizzy and almost fainted.
On the surface, King Yan's punishment was not serious, but for a prince like him who wanted to seize the throne, it was like a bolt from the blue. Because other ministers will definitely regard this punishment as a sign that he has fallen out of favor, which will be a heavy blow to his path to the throne.
However, he did not dare to disobey King Yan's words. He bowed his head and said, "My son, I would like to thank my father for your kindness."
But in his heart, he hated Ning Qingyu and Lin Mu deeply, and vowed to take revenge if he had the chance in the future.
After the third prince left, King Yan quickly regained his composure. It seemed that he was not the one who had been angry just now. He said calmly: "Wei Sanxian." "My servant is here."
Eunuch Wei said respectfully.
"The order is issued. Yin Siyuan has committed a heinous crime. He has deceived the Holy Spirit. He will be deprived of his title and general position. He will be thrown into a prison immediately and will be executed in the autumn."
King Yan gave the order coldly again.
"promise."
Eunuch Wei took the order.
"Also, the Xichuan Newspaper Company and Lin Mu made me very unhappy this time."
King Yan closed his eyes slightly, and then said, "Although Concubine Ning has made it clear, major crimes can be avoided, but minor punishments cannot be avoided."
"First, ask Xichuan Newspaper to immediately cancel some reports about Yin Siyuan. Second, send someone to remind them that I intend to take a stake in Xichuan Newspaper. From now on, Xichuan Newspaper can no longer let Xichuan Newspaper do whatever they want and let them decide what to do."
"promise."
This time, seeing that King Yan had no further instructions, Eunuch Wei withdrew.
Not long after, the news about Yin Siyuan's sentence spread throughout the Yan Kingdom, and the name Yin Siyuan suddenly became a sinful name despised by everyone in the Yan Kingdom.
One day later, Luo Lan and Jiang Yulou received news from Yanjing.
"Useless things."
Roland was furious. He never thought that this adopted son, with so many flaws in his body, could be knocked down so easily, which would ruin their plan.
"It seems we have to take a long-term approach."
Jiang Yulou also frowned, "Originally, I wanted to separate Xichuan City and Lin Mu, and then use Xichuan City to contain Lin Mu, and see if I could follow the clues and find Lin Mu's flaws. Now it seems that this plan has been Unable to implement."
"It was my fault that this plan failed, but I also lost an adopted son and an important chess piece."
Roland said solemnly, "It's up to you to plan how to deal with Lin Mu next. I believe you won't let me down."
"It doesn't matter whether the means are new or old, as long as they are easy to use. Lord Roland, do you still remember how I defeated Lin Nan?"
Jiang Yulou suddenly showed a sinister look in his eyes.
