The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

The people's support for the Lin family was the most taboo for the emperor.

As soon as Lin Shu entered the city, spies immediately reported everything that happened at the city gate to the emperor's ears. The emperor was troubled at the moment.

The emperor was over fifty years old, and his temples were already gray. The corners of his eyes covered with fine lines were slightly sunken, which made his eyebrows look sharper. When he looked at people, his eyes were as sharp as knives, showing no anger or authority.

"Zheng Qing, what do you think about this matter?"

The person named by the emperor was Zheng Wuyin, the left prime minister of the dynasty, the father of Zheng Shao.

As he grew older and became physically unable to do his job, the emperor relied more and more on his left prime minister in political affairs over the years.

One of the reasons is that the left prime minister does have the ability to govern the country.

The second reason is that Zuo Xiang had made great achievements in rescuing the emperor and won the emperor's trust.

To this day, the marks left by the tiger's claws are still clearly visible on the right cheek of the left prime minister, and under the thick and majestic official robes, the horrific scars of being bitten by the tiger are hidden.

This is the medal he wears.

It would be fine if the left prime minister was a military general like General Lin, but the left prime minister is a civil servant. Even if he has learned the six arts of a gentleman and knows how to ride and shoot, facing a fierce tiger, it is no different than using a mantis' arm as a chariot.

The left minister came to the rescue, which was actually a life-and-death struggle.

As a result, he won the respect of the emperor, and the left prime minister had great power. Over the years, he became more and more arrogant and arrogant in the court.

——Oppressing the people, in the land of fish and meat, the forces of all parties depend on each other and their interests are connected, and the forces of all parties are like a giant net that covers the sky.

The left prime minister stepped forward unhurriedly, "I thought that we would have to meet General Lin to find out the truth. It's just that General Zhenxi knew that His Majesty had summoned him, but he disobeyed the order and refused to enter the capital. This move is really unfair." That’s right, as for whether there are other thoughts behind this, it’s even less clear.”

On the other side, Pingxihou Mansion.

The ancestral hall, which is usually quiet enough to hear the drop of a needle, was noisy and crowded with people.

Mrs. Xie, the Shen family, the Song family... almost all the elders from the side branches came.

Mrs. Xie's face was so gloomy and ugly that she could drip with tears, and she held the auspicious animal crutch very tightly in her hand.

Directly opposite the crutches below, Ms. Shen was kneeling with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Lin Shu was disarmed and taken away in the street. As soon as the incident happened, the news spread back to the mansion, which immediately made a mess of porridge.

Now that the officials have not yet retired from the court and the truth has not yet become clear, Mrs. Xie begins to talk about the crime.

She pressed Shen again and again: "What did Dalang tell you? Did he actually attack Prince Xirong?"

Shen had been kneeling for half an hour, with her back straight, "No matter how many times grandma asked, my granddaughter-in-law always had the same answer. She didn't know, but when A Ye said he didn't, she believed him, and he was innocent. "

"He is innocent?! Why doesn't he come to Beijing if he is innocent?" The old voice became harsh and rough with anger, "Don't say that the Western Region cannot live without people. He is just a commander in chief. No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than His Majesty? ! Will the Western Territory be unable to survive without him for one day?!"

"You are disloyal if you want your minister to die! Do you know the consequences of disobeying the decree? If Your Majesty pursues the case, no one in this room will be able to escape! We all have to meet on the road to hell!"

The people around him also advised: "Dalang family, if you really know something, just tell it. Can you hide it from us and your majesty?" "Yes, if there is no sufficient evidence, why would your majesty arrest Lin Shu in the street?" , the truth must have been revealed long ago!”

"The earlier you confess your guilt, the earlier you think of a way to atone, maybe you can save Lin Shu's life!"

Shen didn't know that keeping things secret would make things worse. As soon as the Wumu Tuo incident came out, she ran around asking for help. She also sent a letter to Northwest, but Lin Ye made it clear that the matter had nothing to do with him.

She believed him.

I believe in his character, and more importantly, his heart for the country and the people.

Someone framed him for this.

As soon as those letters came into her hands, Mrs. Xie took them all away. Mrs. Xie knew exactly what the answers were in the letters.

Shen didn't think that Lin Ye had expected that the letter would fall into the hands of others, so he hid it.

But even if this matter is really related to him, there must be difficulties. All the decisions he makes are for the overall good.

There is no way he could turn his back on the Qingxian people.

And the difficulties behind this are certainly not something ordinary people can bear!
She couldn't cause trouble for him.

But when she heard Lin Shu being mentioned frequently, Shen's fists slowly clenched.

Just because Lin Ye had his own reasons, was he going to sacrifice her Shuer?

Her estranged son was still a young boy, and the nobles of the two countries colluded to seek power and profit. Why did her child need to be sacrificed? Why did countless innocent people die in vain!

As he gained more power, the new emperor, who was originally upright in dealing with matters, began to reveal his true nature, and was no less mediocre than the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

Lin Ye still made the wrong choice.

There is no shortage of battles to be fought, and the western and northern territories are still in turmoil.

In such a country and such a king, why is it necessary to be loyal?
Sometimes, as a mother of four children, Shen really hated Lin Ye.

Lin Songyi was framed back then, and Lin Ye was not allowed to return at the border. When it was confirmed that there was no room for return, he took his time and hurried back.

When Lin Zhiyu was born, Lin Ye was in Suizhou. He had promised her that he would come back no matter what, but not only did he break his promise, he also massacred the city and committed a massacre.

At that time, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and Lin Ye, as a rebel from the previous dynasty, needed to show his loyalty.

The reputation of a traitor is inherently bad. As soon as this incident came out, it was rumored by both the government and the public that he defected for power and glory.

She doesn't believe it.

But no matter how she asked him, there was always only one answer.

Countless people did die in Suizhou that day.
