Fu Lin did not announce that he would protect Wu Liangfu or not pursue the sins of Badu Murhu and others, but as time went by, the case gradually calmed down, and the first offender was not tried for a long time, and there were always upright ministers who wanted to ask the emperor what was wrong.

So Fu Lin had to say: "Although Wu Liangfu is guilty, he has served the king for many years and has made great contributions, but Wu Liangfu is only a servant in the first district, and more importantly, he is still a courtier who has contributed to the Qing Dynasty." If all of them are investigated according to the traces, there are many people who have committed crimes, and now those who have committed gross negligence have been punished, and the others will be lenient and will not be prosecuted. ”

The courtiers were in an uproar, and there were people who were secretly relieved, and there were even more who were indignant about this, and they asked the emperor how he would place Wu Liangfu, and if Wu Liangfu was placed next to the emperor again, wouldn't it be a repeat of the mistakes of the past, and the ministers wanted to see the emperor, and they had to knock on the door with silver.

Fu Lin promised in court: "Wu Liangfu will no longer have any power, but he is just a slave who stays by my side to serve tea and water, as for you, if any eunuch and palace maid dare to extort and demand in the future, just break into the Qianqing Palace and tell me that I will never cure you for the crime of breaking into the palace." ”

Sonny, who was standing at the head of the group, was silent, Ao Bai glanced at him and didn't speak, Suke Saha Curb Pilon and so on didn't speak, some ministers asked Ai Xing, and the old general touched his snow-white beard and said, "Naturally, according to the emperor's will, the horse's head is the first to see." ”

Who would have thought that this greedy eunuch would be able to make the emperor willing to protect him at the risk of betraying the notoriety of the courtiers. What's more, if no one asks about it, the emperor will probably assume that nothing has happened, and unknowingly fool the past.

As for the ministers who were exempted from accountability, not only Badu and Murhu, but everyone couldn't think of targeting the imperial concubine for a while, and the angry ministers hadn't been able to ease up.

But they didn't protest to the emperor, and the next day's court meeting, there were nearly three fewer people, and then for three days in a row, either this one took leave, or that one was sick, and some urgent matters could not be picked up at all.

Fu Lin wanted to endure it, and when their anger passed, it would be fine, but on the morning of the third day, even Sonny didn't come.

The emperor couldn't swallow this breath, so he acted as if nothing happened, went to the court to deal with state affairs as usual, and took Wu Liangfu back from the prison of the Criminal Department on this day more generously.

The person who saw the light of day again lay on the ground and cried silently, Fu Lin looked at his tears with cold eyes, and said coldly: "I can only protect you this time, you have to remember, from now on, countless pairs of eyes are staring at you, and if you indulge a little, they will break into my front and question me." When that time comes, you'll hang yourself with your belt. ”

Wu Liangfu cried and said, "The slave doesn't dare anymore, never again." ”

Fu Lin said: "The money you have embezzled and looted has been fully charged into the treasury, and there will still be money every month in the future, eating and drinking with me, I can't freeze you and can't starve you, I really don't understand, what do you want so much money for?" ”

Wu Liangfu cried: "Your Majesty, the minions can't help themselves, those ministers, all of them are in high positions, where do the minions dare to offend." If they don't take it, they will feel that the slave will not give face, what is the slave, and the ministers will stick their feet to make a stumbling block, and the slave will be doomed. ”

"Heh......" Fu Lin sneered, "Now that it's over, don't excuse yourself, I don't do anything to you." ”

"Yes, yes." Wu Liangfu kowtowed repeatedly.

Fu Lin said again: "From today on, you are no longer the head of the thirteen yamen of the inner court, and you have no power or position, but you must stay by my side, and people up and down must not embarrass you." Let's stay up for two or three years first, and then I'll see if I can think of any more ways for you. ”

Wu Liangfu put his head on the ground and said: "The slave can return to the emperor alive, and he is already full of fear and gratitude, but I ask the emperor not to think about anything for the slave anymore, let the slave serve you by your side, and serve you for the rest of your life." ”

Fu Lin snorted, and didn't bother to say anything more, he still had mountains of folds to read, so he motioned to Wu Liangfu, what should he do.

The news of Mr. Wu's return to the Forbidden City soon spread, some people rushed to stammer, and some people spit on their backs and were indignant, this afternoon, Tian Xiang took the ginseng soup stewed by the imperial concubine herself, and came to the emperor from the back door of the Qianqing Palace from the Jiaotai Palace.

"Is it stewed by Jiayin?" Fu Lin was in a very good mood and advised, "You should also be careful, don't let your mother be burned by fireworks." ”

Tian Xiang knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has a saying, order the slave to convey it to the emperor." ”

Fu Lin drank the ginseng soup with comfort and asked happily, "What's the matter?" ”

Tian Xiang said: "Niangniang said that the emperor will go to Chengqian Palace in the future, and there is one thing I hope the emperor must agree to Niangniang." ”

Fulin put down the soup bowl: "What's wrong?" ”

Tian Xiang said timidly: "Niang Niang said, Wu Liangfu is not allowed to follow you into Chengqian Palace, and Wu Liangfu is not allowed to set foot in Chengqian Palace for half a step in the future." ”

Fu Lin looked at Tian Xiang blankly: "What did she say? ”

Tian Xiang was already trembling with fright, bowed her head and kowtowed: "Yes, every word was relayed by the imperial concubine Niangniang personally ordered the slave maid." ”

Fu Lin's chest was suddenly blocked firmly, and he couldn't drink any ginseng soup, he said: "Tell Niangniang that the ginseng soup is delicious." ”

"Yes."

"Kneel down."

"But the emperor ......," Tian Xiang asked tremblingly, "Wu Liangfu's matter?" ”

Fu Lin closed his eyes in pain: "I know, you tell Jia Yin, I know." ”

Tian Xiang returned the same way, but before he went far, he heard the movement of the soup bowl being smashed, and the sound frightened the eunuchs and guards in front of him to rush in, and then the emperor was angry: "Get out, get out." ”

Tian Xiang was very embarrassed, did she want to tell Miss the emperor's reaction, thinking all the way back, she felt that Miss was afraid that she would also get to this point, so she decided to tell the truth.

Sure enough, Jia Yin was very indifferent, and said to Tian Xiang: "Tell the people at the door that Wu Liangfu is nothing now, don't be afraid of him, and never allow him to come in." ”

For the sake of Wu Liangfu's affairs, Fu Lin was in the mood for a while, and even Jia Yin was offended.

The courtiers protested, and the queen mother, who lived on the island and did not care about everything.

Fulin felt as if he had been abandoned by heaven and earth.

The next morning, the imperial dining room had just delivered breakfast to Jingren Palace, Yuan Xi was dressed up and wanted to come to dinner, and when she saw Xiaoquanzi and Vanilla whispering in front of the door, she looked at it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Quanzi ran to answer: "Niangniang, the emperor has gone out." ”

Yuan Xi asked, "Go to the Empress Dowager Nanyuan?" ”

Xiao Quanzi shook his head and said: "The emperor went to Yong'an Temple, and this early in the morning, the morning did not rise, so he went out." ”
