Ever since Lin Zhiwu entered the hall, Li Yuan had sent all the palace people out.

Yue Yu was guarding the door of the hall, unable to hear the conversation in the hall clearly, and later saw the Praetorian Guards rushing in, he wanted to go in but didn't dare, because Li Yuan ordered him to guard the palace gate.

However, Li Yuan's last words were loud, and Yue Yu heard them.

Defying imperial power?

Disrespectful to the emperor?

Still playing fifty boards?

With Ping Nanhou's small body, how can he withstand the fifty boards of the Praetorian Guard?

It is estimated that even if you don't die, you will become crippled.

Yue Yu was in a hurry, so he summoned his henchmen and attendants: "You go to the household department to find Princess Jinyang, and say that Pingnanhou is in trouble." ”

The chamberlain ran away.

However, just as the Praetorian Guards stepped forward to arrest someone, Lin Zhiwu suddenly stretched out his hand: "Wait, I still have something to say." ”

The Praetorian Guard stopped and looked at Li Yuan.

Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, Lin Zhiwu quickly asked, "Your Majesty summoned me today, is it just to deliberately make things difficult for me?" ”

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "You despise the imperial power, you are disrespectful to Lone, Lone did not kill you, you are already merciful to your subordinates, why do you make trouble?" ”

"In that case, I wonder if Your Majesty dares to let the hundred officials know what happened here just now?"

"You ......" Li Yuan said angrily: "You dare to threaten Lone? ”

Lin Zhiwu was respectful: "The minister doesn't dare, but the minister doesn't want to be punished innocently." In case the minister is hit by the board, the injury is aggravated, and His Majesty is accused of being inconsiderate to the courtier, it will be the minister's sin. ”

"You ......" Li Yuan was choked for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then Gu will deal with you according to the law." ”

Hearing this, the Praetorian Guards lowered their heads in unison, neither to go nor to stay, simply as if they were deaf and could not hear anything.

Li Yuan flipped through the fold and said coldly: "On the day of the rebellion in the palace, the ordnance supervisor was missing a batch of weapons, and later, this batch of lost weapons appeared in the hands of the rebels, is this true?" ”

Lin Zhiwu paused: "...... This is indeed the case. ”

"You were on duty that day, can you be wronged in this matter?"

"No, it was indeed a minister on duty that day."

A sneer flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and he patted the imperial case and said, "Lin Zhiwu, as a young superintendent of weapons, you didn't find out the loss of weapons in time, and you didn't report it in time, causing the rebels to mess up the court, what should you be guilty of?" ”

Lin Zhiwu hurriedly explained: "As soon as the minister found out that the weapon was lost, he entered the palace to report, but the minister entered the palace, and His Majesty has not yet gone to court.

"Later, the minister was captured by the rebels, how to report it?"

Li Yuan was furious: "You mean it's late for Lonely, is it Lone's fault?" ”

"I didn't mean that."

When the words fell, Lin Zhiwu suddenly thought of one thing: "Wait, when I went that day, the weapon had already been lost, and I was on duty, it shouldn't be my dereliction of duty."

"By the way, the day before was Shaocheng on duty, and the weapon was lost during his duty, if you want to punish him, you will also punish him, not me."

Hearing this, Li Yuan slapped his palm on the imperial case: "You still dare to shirk responsibility?"

"Gu has already investigated, and when Shaocheng left, the weapon had not been lost, and you stayed in the armory prison for half an hour.

"As a result, I found out that the weapon was lost the next day, and now that I think about it, you must be in the same league as those traitors."

Lin Zhiwu: "......"

In order to prevent him from marrying Xiao Yu'er, he was condemned as a traitor, Li Yuan was really bad.

Lin Zhiwu defended unhurriedly: "Your Majesty's suspicions are unreasonable, although I stayed for half an hour the day before, I didn't get close to the weapons depot.

"Even if the weapon is lost the next day, it will be before I am on duty, and I will be derelict at best.

"What's more, on that day, I also protected Your Majesty, and I also saved the life of Princess Jinyang, if this is also a traitor, I have nothing to say."

"You ......" Li Yuan was choked again, and he was very angry in his heart: "Okay, since you admit that you have derelict in your duties, then accept the punishment." ”

Immediately, Li Yuan instructed the Praetorian Guards: "Pull him down and hit him with fifty boards." ”

"Wait."

Hearing this voice, the Praetorian Guard's footsteps paused again.

Li Yuan looked at Yue Yu with a gloomy face: "Didn't Lone order you to guard outside?" What are you doing in here? ”

Yue Yu quickly walked to Li Yuan's side and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Pingnanhou saved the life of Princess Jinyang, and the injuries on her body have not healed yet.

"If this matter gets out, the people will definitely say that Your Majesty does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, and is not sympathetic to his courtiers.

"What's more, if you let Princess Jinyang know, it will also affect the father-daughter relationship between you and Princess Jinyang, after all, Pingnanhou saved her.

"Moreover, Dou Yuma made such a big mistake, you only fined him for one year, and the punishment for the crime of dereliction of duty by Ping Nanhou is too severe."

Li Yuan was angry, Yue Yu's words were very reasonable, but he was unwilling to let him let Lin Zhiwu go so easily.

So, Li Yuan thought for a while and preached: "When Lin Zhiwu was on duty, he failed to report the loss of weapons in time, which is a crime of dereliction of duty.

"Punish him for one year, retain his current official position, and if he fails to develop a new firearm within a month, he will be dismissed."

Yue Yu: "......"

This penalty is heavier, right?

Lin Zhiwu respectfully accepted the punishment: "The minister has the order, thank Your Majesty." ”

"If Your Majesty has no other orders, the minister will retire."

Li Yuan didn't want to see him at all, and waved his hand irritably: "Stand down." ”

Not far after Lin Zhiwu walked out of the Taiji Palace, he ran into Wang Yu, who came in a hurry.

"You...... Are you okay? ”

Because he came running, Wang Yu's voice was a little panting.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhiwu was very happy: "Are you worried about me?" ”

Wang Yu glared at him angrily: "You are my brother, I'm worried that you are not human?" ”

The smile on Lin Zhiwu's face instantly stiffened.

"Someone has sent me a message saying that you are in trouble, what happened?"

After asking, Wang Yu looked at the road where Lin Zhiwu came, and found that he was coming from the direction of Taiji Palace, so he asked, "Your Majesty has embarrassed you?" ”

Lin Zhiwu opened his mouth, and just wanted to tell Li Yuan about the bad things he did, but after thinking about it, Xiao Yu'er regarded Li Yuan as his biological father, if he said it, wouldn't it be a separation between their father and daughter?

Moreover, if he said it, he would inevitably mention that he wanted to marry her.

No, Xiao Yu'er is still young, and it is not appropriate for her to know about this now, he wants to let her fall in love with him slowly, and then talk about marriage.

Thinking about this, Lin Zhiwu smiled slightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that in the last rebellion, the rebels stole a batch of weapons from the ordnance prison, and I was guilty of dereliction of duty, so Your Majesty fined me for one year." ”

Hearing this, Wang Yu's heart immediately settled down: "It's just a year of fine, this is a trivial matter, if you don't have enough money, just tell me." ”

Lin Zhiwu's eyes lit up: "You want to give me money to spend?" ”

This girl is usually very stingy, she has always earned his money, and he has never earned her a copper plate.

I didn't expect to save this girl's life, and the treatment was so much better.

Lin Zhiwu happily calculated in his heart: How much money should he ask her?

Who knows, Wang Yu said with a smile: "No, I lend you money, of course, I have to calculate interest." ”

Lin Zhiwu: "......"
