As soon as the emperor said this, Yuan Cheng hurriedly blamed himself and said, "It's all the minister's dereliction of duty, and please punish Your Majesty." ”

The emperor smiled, "Your criminal department has not made much effort now, and you will need to work hard next." Straighten out the case clearly, let all the criminals get the punishment they deserve, and at the same time let the people take them as a warning, as long as these things are done well, your criminal department will not be derelict in its duties. ”

Yuan Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, the Criminal Department will definitely do all this well and not let Your Majesty down." ”

The emperor then said to them: "Now that Wu Xuehai has committed something, the Yuan Pavilion Elder will definitely be very sad, he is a student of the Yuan Pavilion Elder and was recommended by the Yuan Pavilion Elder all the way. Wu Xuehai did not live up to the expectations of the elders of the Yuan Pavilion before, and assisted me in governing the country, and his achievements were not small. It's just that he has been in a high position for many years, and he seems to have gradually lost his heart, so he has reached this point today. ”

After speaking, the emperor looked at Yuan Cheng emphatically, "You go back and tell the elder pavilion to take care of his health." I trusted him so that he didn't have to worry about it. If you tell him again, I am actually very sad, but even if Wu Xuehai is a rare talent, he will be punished if he makes a mistake, so that he can not lose fairness and not let the officials and the people chill. ”

"Yes, please remember Your Majesty's teachings! The minister must give your words word for word to the father. ”

A cold sweat was already breaking out on Yuan Cheng's back, no matter what, as long as the emperor said to his face that he would not suspect the Yuan Pavilion Elder, their Yuan family would not be affected by Wu Xuehai.

Yuan Cheng knew that the emperor did not fully trust the Yuan family, maybe he just saw that the Yuan Pavilion was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and the Yuan family did not have any dealings with Cheng Qizhi, so the emperor didn't want to trouble them, otherwise it would be natural to check the Yuan family.

This is the emperor's pardon to the old man of the Yuan Pavilion and the Yuan family, and Yuan Cheng felt a sense of gratitude in his heart when he thought of this.

After the emperor finished speaking to Yuan Cheng, he said to Wan Lin: "You are a good agent of the imperial historian, I have read the file, your brain is really good enough, and you have memorized the whereabouts of so many people." You are diligent, intelligent, courageous and responsible, so it is not surprising that you have reached the fourth rank at such a young age. In my opinion, you might as well just sit down in the position of the Imperial Doctor......"

As soon as the emperor said this, Wan Lin quickly lowered his head in fear.

"Don't dare! The minister's qualifications are still shallow, the experience of being an official is also insufficient, and his vision is also narrow, so he must not be worthy of this position! ”

Wan Lin knelt down as he spoke.

When the emperor saw him like this, he laughed, "What are you doing in a hurry to kneel?" Haven't you heard the saying 'Raise the virtuous and don't avoid relatives'? You have the ability, no matter how old you are or what your background, you can take on heavy responsibilities, what are you afraid of? And in my opinion, those so-called official experiences are just greetings and slickness after the sharpness is worn out. ”

But Wan Lin still didn't get up.

The emperor said softly: "Get up, you are tired for a day and a night, don't kneel on the ground and suffer, all three of you sit down and talk to me." ”

After Wan Lin and the others sat down, the emperor continued: "Wan Lin, I am really optimistic about you, but I just said just now, and I won't let you sit in the position of the imperial doctor like this." Because I know that trees are very popular, and if you sit in such a high position at such a young age, you will not only attract jealousy, but also easily sit unsteadily. If you fall from a height, it is better not to climb to that high position in the first place. I think Wu Xuehai was young and proud, and now he has ended up like this, which is really regrettable! So you better take your time. ”

Although these words were said to Wan Lin, Xing Zhida and Yuan Cheng were listening carefully to the emperor's words, and at the same time, they were also carefully pondering the emperor's words.

Wan Lin said at this time: "The minister is loved by His Majesty, and he has only been an official for one year to become an official to the fourth grade, and the minister will thank His Majesty for his kindness every day, and he will be strict with himself, and he will not dare to live up to His Majesty's high expectations." Ranchen is indeed still young, and now he can't bear this merit and responsibility when he sits in a high position, for fear of disappointing His Majesty's expectations. The minister should do a good job in the internal affairs of the imperial history, and dare not have a trace of delusion. ”

Wan Lin expressed his worries, and also said his truest thoughts in his heart.

The emperor nodded with a smile, "I understand your thoughts, I will send someone to succeed the Imperial Doctor in the next few days, but until someone is selected, you will temporarily take the position of Imperial Doctor." ”

"Yes!" Wan Lin hurriedly answered.

The three of them finished talking to the emperor about the case, and talked about the current political affairs before leaving.

As soon as he left the palace, Xing Zhida said to Wan Lin: "Master Wan, your ability and mind are far above the old man, and the old man really admires you from the bottom of his heart." ”

Wan Lin hurriedly said humbly: "Lord Xing has an overreputation. Your intelligence and courage are something that juniors should learn well. ”

Yuan Cheng said with a smile: "You two don't praise each other like this, the old man sees that you are better than the old man." Our criminal department has been compared to you this time. ”

Xing Zhida smiled first, "Hehehe, Brother Yuan, it's not easy for you. Yuan Ge Lao and Wu Xuehai are father and son, but your unreserved attitude towards Wu Xuehai at that time is also an example for us to learn. ”

Yuan Cheng shook his head helplessly, "Alas, don't mention this matter, my father has been worried about Wu Xuehai's food for the past few days, I can't sleep at night, and my mouth is foaming, I don't dare to tell anyone, I can only tell you." Our family has been favored by His Majesty, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you now, where can our family be so discouraged? ”

A few people walked forward while talking, Xing Zhida said: "We are all tired for a day and a night, let's go back and rest, and we will meet again tomorrow." ”

The three of them were separated, and Wan Lin was still recalling what the emperor said when he got into the carriage.

He knew that what the emperor seemed to say to him was also for Xing Zhida and Yuan Cheng, both of them were people who could be his father, and they could sit in such a high position safely until now, not to mention whether there was any force behind them, they must be smart people.

Now Wu Xuehai, Cheng Qizhi, Lu Changzhi and some people have all made a mistake and paid a heavy price, and a major reshuffle is about to be ushered in in the court.

The emperor can take advantage of this opportunity to clear King Zhao's opponent and let him sit firmly in the position of the crown prince.

As for whether King Jie will continue to fight with King Zhao, or whether he will accept his fate, he still has to wait and see.

When Wan Lin returned home, he found that Wan Pozi and Old Man Wan had returned.

"Dad, mother, didn't you take care of Feizhi? How did you get back? ”

Wan Pozi first gave a bowl of hot ginseng soup to Wan Lin, "Drink this bowl of ginseng soup to get cold, although the south is much warmer than the north this day, but now the weather is also cold, you are too tired these days, Xiao Jiu said that people are easy to get sick when they are tired, you have to take care of your body." ”

Wan Lin smiled, "Mother, isn't my body good enough to be conditioned by Xiao Jiu on weekdays?" When do you think I got typhoid fever? ”

Wan Pozi hurriedly took three sips, "Bah, bah, you can't talk nonsense!" After saying that, he got sick. ”

Wan Lin reluctantly finished drinking the ginseng soup, and Wan Pozi said again: "Gin'er seems to have eaten something to spoil his stomach today, Xiao Jiu fed him medicine and he was much better at night, Xiao Jiu is coaxing him to sleep at this time." ”

"Then I'll go see him." Wan Lin said that he was going to see Ginseng.

Wan Pozi said distressedly: "Don't go, let him sleep well, you can also quickly eat and sleep." ”

"Xianggong, are you back?" Fu Xiaojiu walked out of the ginseng room.

Wan Lin anxiously asked, "How is Gin'er?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu said with a relaxed face: "He's fine, he's already asleep." I also said that this child has never been very sick, so I am afraid that it is not good. When he gets sick occasionally, I can still have some snacks. ”

Wan Lin asked puzzledly: "Isn't it good that Ginseng doesn't get sick?" ”

"Xianggong doesn't know, there are people who have never been sick in their lives, but when they get sick, they are seriously ill, so it's normal to have some colds or colds occasionally on weekdays."

Wan Lin suddenly said: "It turns out that there is such a truth. ”

Wan Lin didn't worry about Shen'er anymore, and asked again: "By the way, what about Brother Xu and Uncle Xu?" ”

Wan Pozi said: "Xu Jingshan and Brother Zhongjun were afraid of disturbing us, so the two of them moved to the workshop yesterday. ”

Wan Lin said helplessly: "What's there to bother with this, we are all a family." ”

However, Wan Lin didn't say anything more after speaking, because he thought that he didn't come back the night before, and although Fu Xiaojiu was also with him in Dali Temple, Xu Jingshan and Feng Zhongjun didn't know if he would go home tonight.

In case Wan Lin hasn't come back yet, only Fu Xiaojiu is at home alone, how can the two of them live here?

Seeing his closest family members around him, Wan Lin felt extremely happy.

After experiencing Cheng Qizhi's case, he felt a lot of emotion, he didn't ask how big an official he could be, nor how rich his family was, he just wanted his family to be safe and happy.

Old man Wan gossiped at this time, "Your case is all neatly organized?" I heard that the prime ministers of the dynasty were sentenced to death? ”

Old man Wan's fun now is to talk to some old men, but he is not talking nonsense, but he always has something to talk about.

The case had spread all over the streets, and he had to get to grips with the news faster than they did.

Wan Lin nodded and said: "Yes, the charge of the right minister has been confirmed, and he will be sentenced to behead with Cheng Qizhi in about three days." ”

"Tut-tut......" Old Man Wan smacked his mouth, "What's the use of being such a big official?" As soon as the official is big, people are easy to be greedy. Third, don't be such a big official in the future, if the official becomes big, others will look at you and face more temptations. ”

Wan Lin obediently responded: "Yes, my son is not greedy, he can be as big an official as he can, and he will definitely not force it." ”

Mrs. Wan gave Old Man Wan a pestle, "Can those corrupt officials compare with our son?" There are also people who have been in peace and quiet all their lives, so can't our son be such a person? ”
