It's not that I don't want to, but the Song Dynasty has a tradition of not killing scholar-bureaucrats, otherwise the court would have been filled with people.

It is ridiculous to say that for such a serious crime of treason, the prisoner was only dismissed from his post, and even the property of the prisoner could not be taken away even if his home was searched.

It can be seen how powerful the scholar-bureaucrat class in the Song Dynasty was at this time!

But Lin Hao didn't care. After completing the cleaning of the court, Lin Hao set his sights outside the court, because that was where Lin Hao was interested.

Lin Hao then used his intelligence network to get the local officials who colluded with the two kings and rebelled.

It wasn't that Lin Hao didn't want to use the Imperial City Division's intelligence network, but that the main location of the Imperial City Division's activities was limited to Bianjing City and its surroundings.

The strength of the Imperial City Division in other big cities is also extremely weak. It can only be said to be better than nothing, but in smaller cities it is almost nothing!

Lin Hao then reported all the evidence of these local officials colluding with the two kings to the emperor.

When the emperor saw that most of these local officials were courtiers who had been driven away from Bianjing before, he immediately became furious!

Then the emperor was furious and dismissed all these local officials.

Among Lin Hao's previous students, most of the dozen or so newly admitted Jinshi were sent to these places during this purge.

After nearly two months, because the rebellion of King Yan and King Yong was wiped out, those who supported the two kings from all over the country became rootless trees.

Coupled with the nails that Lin Hao had driven in before, the rebellions in various parts of the Song Dynasty were quickly put down by the local governments and the imperial troops sent by Lin Hao, and the rebellion of the two kings ended.

······

"Rong Guo Gong listens to the title!" The eunuch shouted with the imperial edict: "Song Dynasty conferred the imperial edict of Zhang Haolin on King Yan. Duke Rong Guo heard that the two kings were plotting rebellion and quickly returned to the capital to destroy Yan and Yong Er. When the king is in trouble, he will be rewarded with the title of King of Yan...!"

After the rebellion was put down, the emperor began to reward Lin Hao and the heroes who rescued him. As the biggest hero, Lin Hao would naturally be rewarded heavily.

However, the emperor actually directly promoted Lin Hao's title from the Duke of Rongguo to the Duke of Yan. Afterwards, the whole court was buzzing, but no one in the whole court came out to object.

Don't they want to? Of course not, they were dealt with too hard by Lin Hao before, especially after the rebellion of the two kings just now. Everyone is cautious, no one wants to be the one who dies first!

Just when Lin Hao thought that even the powerful scholar-bureaucrat class would not dare to stroke his beard, just when he thought that he could successfully obtain the title of king, someone stood up!

"My lord, I am admonishing the imperial censor, Yao Yan, for your information!"

At this time, the emperor half-opened his eyes and said, "Speak!"

"The minister Rong Guogong, while investigating the rebellion of the two kings, abused his power and framed Zhongliang...!"

At this time, Lin Hao's face was as dark as water. He knew that this was the reaction of the scholar-bureaucrat class against him. If he guessed correctly, there would be countless ministers in the Yushitai soon~!

"Chen Kuangyan, the Duke of Rongguo, while investigating the rebellion of the two kings, humiliated the female official...!"

"My minister Wang Yu, the Duke of Rongguo, made money without any plan while investigating the rebellion of the two kings...!"

"I am a minister of Kong Hua, and I have participated in the honor of the Duke of the country, but my virtue is not worthy of my position...!"

"The minister is transformed, and he joins in honoring the Duke of the country...!"

Lin Hao looked at the emperor at this time, and it seemed that he was not surprised that the civil servants were interested in him. At the same time, Lin Hao found that his attitude towards him seemed a little strange.

"Hey!" Lin Hao sighed helplessly. The emperor is the emperor, and being suspicious is his true nature!

It seems that because Lin Hao did not monitor the emperor's words and deeds during this period, he allowed the treacherous villain to slander the emperor.

However, there is another possibility. The emperor wanted to check the scholar-bureaucrats, and he did not rule out the possibility that he wanted the scholar-officials of the Manchu Dynasty to check him!

ah!It turns out that I am already so powerful!

Lin Hao knew that he had been too diligent in doing things during this period, which made the emperor afraid of him, but this also made Lin Hao feel very tired!

If you don't want to give it to this king, don't make blind promises in the first place. If you really don't want to give it or regret it, come to me to discuss it. It's not impossible to give me some other compensation.

But the emperor's use of civil servants in this way, or his acquiescence that civil servants prevented him from obtaining the title of king, really made Lin Hao feel unhappy!

However, Lin Hao remained silent for the time being. After all, this was just his guess. He now wanted to continue observing this group of people.

It depends on who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and it also depends on the attitude of the emperor, which determines Lin Hao's attitude towards the situation in the Great Song Dynasty!

So while Lin Hao remained silent, the ministers waited for their reply, and the emperor remained silent, the entire court fell silent.

Lin Hao, on the other hand, was in his own place, playing the game of 1, 2, 3 wooden figures with himself!

"We are all wooden people. We are not allowed to speak or move, we are not allowed to walk, and we are not allowed to laugh!" Lin Hao found it quite interesting!

After a while, the sound of needle drops could still be heard in the court hall, and all the scholar-bureaucrats could no longer hold their breath.

At this moment, the emperor, who was running low on energy, finally spoke:

"Zhang Aiqing, do you have anything to defend?"

In one sentence, Lin Hao understood the emperor's attitude. If this is the case, then don't blame me for being a powerful minister.

At this time, most of the martial artists in the court looked at Lin Hao silently, but Lin Hao raised his hands and saluted the emperor.

When he raised his hand, he had already made an unknown gesture, and then those Wu Xun who originally wanted to speak withdrew their gaze!

After Lin Hao saluted, he said:

"Your Majesty, the pure will become pure, and the turbid will become turbid. I have nothing to say!"

Then Lin Hao kept silent and continued playing the wooden man game!

But if the scholar-officials were involved in Lin Hao's affairs, someone would eventually be responsible for it, either Lin Hao, a civil servant, or the emperor!

At this moment, the scholar-officials were overjoyed and began to whisper to each other. The long-winged hats on their heads kept hitting their colleagues in the face!

Seeing this situation, the real elder finally came to an end. This person was Xianggong Shi. He only heard Xianggong Shi say:

"Your Majesty, Duke Rongguo has done so many evil things, and his moral character is not worthy of him. The matter of conferring a royal title should be dropped. At the same time, your Majesty also asks your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Duke Rongguo...!"

However, not everyone was happy. Han Zhang, Fu Bi and other senior ministers looked worriedly at Lin Hao, who was like a wooden stake.

At this time, the emperor was also paralyzed. The current situation was not his original intention. He originally thought that Lin Hao would stand up and provide evidence to refute the censor.This is also Lin Hao's consistent approach!

When the time comes, all he needs to do is reprimand him a few words, and the matter will be over!

However, Lin Hao just showed off, and then kept silent, acting like you can do whatever you want, no matter how slandered the civil servants are, I will not move!

The emperor didn't know how to end it at this time. If he was in good condition, he would still have the energy to think about such a complicated issue, but his energy was exhausted at this time, and he felt quite regretful at this time!

"Hey~!" The emperor sighed, and then he was about to speak, but suddenly he saw Wu Xun who was as motionless as Lin Hao.

Suddenly, the emperor's heart tightened, and he came up with a terrible guess. Most of the martial arts in the court, or those with real power, are inextricably linked to the Zhang family!

No, we can't let the situation continue to develop, or it may overturn, so the emperor immediately said anxiously:

"Okay, Duke Rongguo conferred the title of king as a reward for saving me from danger. As for the charges against you for participating in Rongguo, if they are true, provide real evidence and don't make unreasonable guesses!"

However, those censors would not give up and immediately said:

"Your Majesty, in the Song Dynasty, there has been no such thing as a king with a foreign surname in the past hundred years. I hope your Majesty will be careful!"

"Furthermore, the public morality of Rongguo is not worthy of its place, so please, Your Majesty, take back your order!"

Lin Hao was a little surprised by the sudden change in the emperor's attitude, but once a choice is made about some things, it cannot be taken back with just a few words!

At this time, the emperor said impatiently: "I am tired, let's discuss it later!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Hao, and saw that Lin Hao was still like a wooden stake, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry!

He has already done this for an emperor, so why should he, the emperor, apologize to these ministers?

"Your Majesty~! You must be careful when conferring the title of king!"

"Your Majesty~, Your Majesty~! I have something to say~!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Rong Guo behaved inappropriately and did not say a word. He was so arrogant. He deserves to be punished. Don't encourage this evil spirit!"

The emperor was helpless, but Lin Hao opened his eyes and looked at the guy who said he was a wolf. It turned out to be Mr. Shi Da.

For some reason, Xianggong Shi suddenly felt tense all over and looked at Lin Hao unconsciously. He saw Lin Hao's eyes as if he were looking at a dead person, which made Xianggong Shi feel cold!

At this moment, Lin Hao took out a document from the space and said:

"Your Majesty, I have consulted Shi Xianggong and colluded with King Yong to plot rebellion. This is the correspondence between Shi Xianggong and King Yong, as well as the time and place of their meeting. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

Chapter 351 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Xianggong Shi and colluding with King Yong to rebel. This is the correspondence between Xianggong Shi and King Yong, as well as the time and place of their meeting. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

If the labor and management didn't scare the monkeys today, he wouldn't be able to get rid of his anger, and the matter wouldn't be over.

Lin Hao is such a generous and tolerant person!

In Lin Hao's sudden attack, he even prepared for Shi Xianggong to have an affair with King Yong, and even produced a volume of evidence of his collusion with King Yong!

"Hiss~, it seems this has been planned for a long time!" At this time, the other ministers whispered.

Then everyone suddenly thought that if they continued to oppose Duke Rong, they would suddenly produce some evidence of colluding with the two kings.

After all, when the two kings competed for the position of the crown prince, there were many people in the court who had interacted with the two kings. Everyone's heart trembled when they thought of this!

If Lin Hao used these things to make excuses, wouldn't it be difficult for them to defend him?

However, when they were worried, the emperor was in an extremely happy mood. Duke Rong finally couldn't help but confront these scholar-bureaucrats head-on with evidence!

Although he was happy in his heart, the emperor still said solemnly:

"Bring it up!"

Then the eunuch beside the emperor came to Lin Hao and presented the file in his hand to the emperor!

Just as the emperor was enjoying reading it, and just as he was using this to tease Mr. Shi, Lin Hao took out another file and said:

"Your Majesty, I would like to impeach Yao Yan, Jia Hua, and Wang Yu, the imperial censors of the Yuan Dynasty, for staying overnight in Guangyuntai and having sex with official prostitutes in Guangyuntai. Please punish them for their transgressions and remove them from admonishment." The position of the imperial censor...!"

When the emperor and the ministers saw Lin Hao's involvement in the book again, they thought he was talking about colluding with the two kings to rebel. However, they did not expect that Lin Hao's involvement was about sleeping in a brothel!

The Qinlou and Chuguan industries in the Song Dynasty were extremely developed, so when officials went to these places, they could find a few prostitutes who "performed their skills but not their bodies" to accompany them to eat, drink, and dance.

But they must not meet alone, let alone spend a spring night with them. This was written into the laws of the Song Dynasty, so every official knew it well and did not dare to overstep it.

Once you overstep your bounds and have a relationship with a prostitute, you don’t have to worry if you are not discovered. But once you are discovered, the consequences will be extremely serious. The minimum guarantee is to lose your official position...!

Therefore, the emperor thought that Lin Hao was venting his grievances just now, so he could only say helplessly:

"Is there any evidence?"

"Yes, both the witness and the physical evidence are there!" After saying that, Lin Hao took out another file and said:

"This file contains the specific time and names of the official prostitutes who stayed overnight. Your Majesty can check it at any time!"
