So the emperor asked the eunuch to bring the files over again. Before the impeachment of Mr. Shi was resolved, three more trespassers who stayed overnight at Guangyuntai came here!

However, just after the emperor got the dossier, Lin Hao took out another dossier from his sleeve and continued:

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Shi Kuangyan, the imperial censor of the Remonstrance Court, for accepting a bribe of [-] guan, and he must be punished...!"

(︶^︶)

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Kong Hua, the imperial censor, for accepting a bribe of 1 yuan, and he must be punished...!"

Lin Hao then impeached all the ministers who had just impeached him again. Lin Hao knew that these people had little to do with the rebellion of the two kings.

As an upright person, Lin Hao must of course expose all the ugly and shameful things they do in daily life!

The key is that Lin Hao has evidence in his hands, and the evidence is deadly enough. Compared with the empty words of these censors, Lin Hao can directly kill him with a stone hammer!

"Not only is it harmful, it's also extremely insulting!" This is what everyone is thinking at this time!

Just now, everyone was still claiming to be a moral gentleman and degrading Lin Hao's character to be worthless. At this time, Lin Hao exposed the old man!

However, Lin Hao's successive impeachments made the emperor extremely angry. He believed that these matters of Lin Hao's impeachment were found out through the Imperial City Department, but Lin Hao did not report them to him.

What does this mean? It means that the Imperial City Division is getting out of his control, which is what he is most worried about.

At this time, the emperor felt his energy and blood rising, accompanied by heavy breathing, which represented the anger in the emperor's heart, but he could not act willfully.

Because he has too many issues to consider, and he has to balance the interests of all parties and keep them within a controllable range.

At this time, the emperor felt that the situation in the court was slightly out of control.

So the emperor said tiredly:

"I'm a little tired and my energy is limited. We'll discuss this matter tomorrow!"

However, Lin Hao would not just hold it high and let it go. It was not Lin Hao's style to be loud with thunder and small with rain. Besides, Lin Hao also had to dispel the emperor's concerns about himself.

Therefore, Lin Hao said loudly like a dazed young man:

"Your Majesty, do you want to protect such evil officials? If Your Majesty acts like this, how will you have the face to meet your ancestors in the future...!"

"Shut up!" the emperor shouted angrily.

"I will not surrender~!" Lin Hao said sternly.

"You, you, you are going to make me mad!"

"There will be no rewards for merit, no punishment for faults. In that case, this is not an official job!" As he said this, Lin Hao took off the winged hat on his head and placed it on the ground!

All the civil servants in the court felt that the scene in front of them was extremely familiar. Isn't this their usual way of threatening the emperor?

Why do you, a martial artist, use such shameless tricks? Are you still shameless?

At this time, the emperor asked Lin Hao angrily:

"Rong Guo Gong, do you even want to intimidate me?"

At this time, the emperor did not look as sick as before. In fact, after two months of recuperation, he had long since recovered.

Just to save myself some trouble, I always showed weakness to the officials in the court!

When the civil servants saw the emperor being so angry, they felt it was a good opportunity to eradicate Lin Hao, especially Prime Minister Shi Da, who immediately stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I have my own report. Duke Rongguo used his power to frame me and framed me for colluding with the two kings in the rebellion. Your Majesty, please punish Duke Rongguo for the crime of false accusation. Please punish him severely!

"Your Majesty, Duke Rongguo has no courtesy from his subjects. I want to impeach Duke Rongguo for the crime of disrespect!" Then several civil servants began to impeach Lin Hao!

It was out of control, completely out of control. The entire civil servants in the court were attacking and slandering Lin Hao, but Lin Hao responded without hesitation.

The emperor looked at the chaotic court and felt regretful.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done anything to test him. Lin Hao was given the title of king, and it was not a hereditary title. Now it can't be stopped.

If I had known earlier, it would have been right to spend the last few years peacefully and hand over the throne to my son smoothly!

At this time, the emperor gradually regained his senses and finally understood. He felt that Lin Hao was just a young man after all, and the title of king had an unparalleled attraction for him.

That's why he acts like a fool, regardless of the consequences, and runs rampant and says whatever he wants.

Instead of being like those old men in the court who do one thing in front of you and another behind your back!

The most important thing is that when he calmed down, he thought of the British prince who was leading the army, and his fear of the Zhang family rose in his heart.

If Lin Hao's request cannot be met at this time, there will probably be complications.

Moreover, Lin Hao produced real evidence to impeach Mr. Shi and these leading censors.

If you don't handle it properly, and you have a reputation of not being rewarded for your merits and not punished for your mistakes, you may be criticized by others in the future!

Looking at the excited civil servants, the emperor also thought that they should be suppressed appropriately. After all, they had previously forced him to choose the prince.

This group of scholar-bureaucrats had too much power. Not only did they suppress martial arts, they even tended to suppress imperial power.

At this moment, there is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, which is the most true portrayal of the emperor's current situation!

Then the emperor thought about his son. He knew his own body. If this continued, it would be impossible for him to accompany the prince to grow up.

After his funeral, will the prince be able to ascend the throne smoothly?

When the time comes, who can be the prince's assistant? Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Lin Hao, who looked like a green-headed man, and the angry old officials, and his mind wandered to nowhere.

After thinking for a long time, the emperor had already made a plan in his mind. He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to sort out the court. He could not let the situation develop, otherwise it would be the source of trouble!

Then the emperor spoke:

"Well, the matter of Mr. Shi Daxiang colluding with the two kings to rebel still needs to be discussed. After all, the so-called evidence provided by Mr. Rong Guo is strictly speaking between the two!"

"I will send another person to investigate this matter. If Mr. Shi Da is indeed in collusion with the two kings, I will not be lenient!"

Having said this, the emperor stretched out his hand to interrupt Mr. Shi who wanted to speak, and then continued:

"If Prime Minister Shi did not participate in the rebellion and just interacted with the two kings normally, I will not let you suffer unjust injustice!"

Then Prime Minister Shi knelt down in tears and saluted:

"Thank you for your grace. I have never participated in the rebellion of the two kings. All this was framed by Duke Rong. I hope your Majesty will be aware of it!"

"Okay, you don't need to say anything. I know what is right and what is wrong, and I will definitely clear your name after the investigation is over!"

Prime Minister Shi immediately thanked him and said, "I obey your order!"

Then the emperor said to Lin Hao:

"Dr. Rong Guo has done a great job in rescuing us this time. It is only natural that he should be crowned king~"

Before the emperor could finish his words, a group of civil servants immediately said:

"Your Majesty, you must not do it~!"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor immediately interrupted: "How presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" all the ministers said in unison.

At this time the emperor continued:

"Rong Guo Gong is right when he says that the court must not lose fairness when doing things. If you have merit, you should be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you should be punished!"

"The facts of the crimes of Yao Yan, Jia Hua, Wang Yu, Kuang Yan, and Kong Hua were clear, so they were handed over to Dali Temple and dealt with in accordance with the law!"

After speaking, the emperor asked Lin Hao: "Rong Guo Gong, do you have any objection to their treatment?"

Lin Hao lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has handled it properly, and I have no objections!"

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief and said again:

"Okay! Just now you said you wanted fairness, and you wanted me to reward merit and punish merit!"

"Pardoning and granting you the title of king is a reward for you. These misbehaving ministers will also be punished as they deserve. This is the justice you want!"

"But for your great disrespect just now, I will naturally punish you. I will fine you a year's salary and take back your position as the Imperial City's envoy. Do you have any complaints?"

As expected of an emperor who has been an emperor for decades, in the face of such a complicated situation, he can still find a breakthrough, quickly settle the matter, and make all parties convinced and speechless!

"I am sincerely convinced!" Lin Hao has achieved his goal, so there is no need to continue causing trouble. As for who is in charge of the Imperial City, it is not up to the emperor!

When the emperor saw Lin Hao's attitude after getting the title, he finally let go of the big stone in his heart, so he looked at the official hat on the ground, and then continued to Lin Hao and said:

"Okay! Since you are sincerely convinced, why don't you put on your official hat!"

"I obey!" Lin Hao said and put the winged hat on his head straightly!

"Okay, that's it for today, let's retreat!" With that said, the emperor, who was already exhausted mentally and physically, forced himself to leave!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

······

However, that night, it may be that the rebellion between King Yan and King Yong was frightened, it may be that Lin Hao sucked the life energy for several months, and seeing the tragic situation of Concubine Rong and her daughter, and what happened today. The emperor was exhausted both mentally and physically due to court disputes.

The combination of these things made this little old man in his 50s unable to bear it any longer. He suddenly fainted after eating, frightening all the chambermaids and maids!

"Your Majesty~, Your Majesty~!"

"Call the doctor quickly...!"

When the emperor woke up, he realized that his body really couldn't wait for the prince to grow up.

So he immediately thought of entrusting a lonely man to pave the way for the future of the prince. After some thought, the emperor said:

"Come, Duke Rong, Grand Prime Minister Han Zhang, Grand Prime Minister Fu Bi, please enter the palace immediately..."

The emperor ordered Lin Hao and others to enter the palace to prepare for the orphanage, but when he thought about it, he felt a little uneasy.

Lin Hao and the other three are outsiders after all, and the two ministers Han Zhang and Fu Bi are already over seventy years old. How long can they live?

But what about Duke Rong?

He is only in his twenties. After Han Zhang and Fu Bi die of old age, who can check and balance Duke Rong?

Needless to say, the power of the Zhang family is the largest in the military, and now that Rong Guogong has been crowned king, it will not be a good thing for him to have sole power by then.

It's not a question of whether he believes in Duke Rong's loyalty, but that people's hearts can change, not to mention that he now clearly feels that compared to Lin Hao before, he is still somewhat different now!

But the emperor had to reuse the Zhang family. With the current connections of the Zhang family, if the Zhang family did not support the new emperor, sooner or later the new emperor would be manipulated into a puppet by the civil servants and generals.

Thinking about how the Zhao family came to the throne, we need to make more preparations to prevent individual ministers from usurping power!

So the emperor decided to select someone from the clan to check and balance Lin Hao, so as to avoid the situation of one family becoming the dominant one.

But the rebellion between King Yan and King Yong just happened, which reduced the emperor's trust in the Zhao clan to the extreme.
