Lin Yi was suddenly enlightened. After all, he was still young, and had never participated in the chaos of the past. Thus, he had never understood why those talented ministers would turn to Yan Shan for support.
They had great hopes for the Emperor back then, but now they were as disappointed as they were now.
"This King hates him as well, but this King hates himself even more. Who told him to be so blind as to follow an idiot. You can hate him, but you can't hate him. " "You may not know who Lin Yi is, but you should know who Yan Heng is. Without your support, Da Ying will not survive for more than three years in his hands, and at that time, war will break out in all four directions. Don't tell me that you want your own descendants to grow up in the fierce and explosive Da Ying Sect?"
Bao Qingyu's words were loud and clear, no one dared to refute him. Those ministers were silent, no one knew what they were thinking.
Yan Heshen sensed that something was wrong, so he sent someone out to inquire why the army outside the palace hadn't appeared yet.
Lin Yi took a step forward and walked in front of the ministers, "Before royal father died, he also asked This King to apologize to you. Sorry for disappointing your expectations, sorry for hurting your sincerity, sorry. "
Lin Yi announced the news of the emperor's death. It was very sudden, making everyone's heart feel as if it had been ruthlessly hammered by a heavy hammer. They stood rooted to the spot, stunned.
"Sorry." Lin Yi spread his sleeves and kowtowed, touching his forehead to the ground.
This slow kowtow caused many hearts to beat.
Plop! Plop!
Finally, a pair of hands covered in age spots helped Lin Yi up. "Rise, this old man has dominated the two dynasties, and now he is old. Although he is full of ambition, he has never done anything major in his life. I only hope that the trust I have gained today can be the right thing to do. "
Lin Yi stood up and looked resolutely at the Supreme Harmony Temple. "I will not betray your trust."
"Elder Xu, what is the meaning of this?" He was unable to contact the army outside the palace.
"Master Yan should have heard of the term 'rebellion before the battle'." Elder Xu smoothed his beard and straightened his clothes.
"Is Master Yan waiting for the army outside the palace?" Lin Yi seemed to have calmed down a lot. He just stood there, tall and straight like a pine tree, with a manner that could not be underestimated. His face was calm and serene, and not the slightest bit of throbbing could be seen. That kind of calmness and magnanimity caused fear to arise in Yan Sen's heart.
"What do you mean?" Yan Hen took a step back, looking at Lin Yi in bewilderment.
"Do you think that this king went to Jiangnan to vent his anger with my royal father?" The corners of Lin Yi's mouth lifted into a mocking smile. "The Jiang Zhe Governor's soldiers are practicing day and night. Even if there are only two hundred of them, it will still be enough to subdue your men. Do you still want to fight back?" The last sentence was said to the imperial guards.
They looked at each other in dismay. They were already hesitant, but after hearing these words, they also knew that Yan Sen had lost all of his power. So, they put down their swords one after another.
Yan Heshen looked at the guard who had been supporting the Empress Dowager, but did not see his figure. His face suddenly turned green, and his entire body spasmed as he fell to the ground.
With a cold face, Lin Yi ordered his men to take Yan Heshen captive.
Following several royal decrees, a group of people were promoted, and according to the list given by Sang Xin, all those vile characters who coveted wealth and fortune were captured one by one.
With the confession of all the strict party members, the evil deeds done by Yan Heng were exposed bit by bit, exposed under the sun. Lin Yi did not suppress the public's words, allowing them to curse him.
Shifting the crowd's gaze, this was probably the only thing that Lin Yi could do for the Emperor.
Although the group of people who had been promoted was not mature enough, under the guidance of those ministers, they also improved rapidly. Many things had been done in an orderly manner.
The Su Clan, Ye Clan, Zhao Clan, and other wrongdoings were retried and their wrongs were brought to justice. They also confirmed the changes in the judgement, as well as the method of compensation and compensation for the survivors.
Lin Yi still needed to control the funeral of the late emperor, the inauguration of the new emperor, and so on. He was so busy that he couldn't even get a foot on the ground.
Lin Yi ordered his men to clean up the Su palace, then he let the king watch over Su Mu and bring him from the justice courts to that side.
Lin Yi even sent people to find Sang Xin, who was imprisoned in the Yan Clan's prison, covered in wounds. Lin Yi thanked Sang Xin for her help and personally came to thank her. However, he found that she had committed suicide in her room.
Lin Yi was the first to run to the Su residence when he finally got the chance to rest. However, he met the old lady in the Su residence.
"What is it? There must be an end to all of this. Since I have personally saved her, I naturally must watch her recover completely. " The old man didn't want others to know about his relationship with Su Mu, so he found a rough excuse.
The old lady, who was standing nearby to dry the herbs, laughed derisively at the old man's words.
Lin Yi went straight to Su Mu. Su Mu was still unconscious. He would only be able to wake up for a short while in one day. It was because of this that the old man hesitated and did not feed the concoction. After all, it was easy to damage one's foundation.
Lin Yi sat beside Su Mu and held Su Mu's hand as he talked to himself for a long time.
Wang Dong brought the medicine over, and Lin Yi took the bowl, holding a blue and white porcelain spoon and began to slowly feed it.
The room was silent, and as Wang stood beside him, he felt a great weight in the silence, a weight weighing down on him. Recalling what he had done, Wang Yu's entire body shivered.
The king stood there like a torturer.
Lin Yi fed it slowly. From time to time, he would take out a snow-white handkerchief and press it to the corner of Su Mu's mouth, wiping away the remaining medicinal liquid on Su Mu's lips. Seeing Su Mu furrow his brows, Lin Yi even found a piece of candy and threw it into Su Mu's mouth.
"She will suffer the least." Lin Yi turned around and looked at Wang, "Is that so?"
Wang Yu laughed bitterly in his heart, it was obvious that Lin Yi had already discovered the truth, "But she is also as tenacious as a blade of grass."
"You are my official." So don't hide it from me.
"I'm her friend." That's why I'm hiding it from you.
Lin Yi weakly placed his hand on Su Mu's arrow wound. With a painful expression, he said, "She has a death wish. She doesn't care about her own life."
"This subject doesn't know what happened to her, nor why she made such a choice. But this subject knows that she loves her own life the most." Wang Yu said. Most of the time it seemed she was attached to him, but in fact she was independent and had her own thoughts. It was hard to know what she was thinking.
He had gone to see her at the time, and when he heard her request, his first reaction had been to refuse. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she pierced the arrow into her body. There were too many variables in this matter. If she wasn't careful, it would mean her death. But Su Mu insisted on it. What he could not stand the most was her request.
Lin Yi was busy, and he left the Su Clan's courtyard after a short while.
Seeing that Lin Yi's figure had disappeared, Wang Yu knocked on the table and said: "What are you pretending for, open your eyes and look at me, I'm so loyal to you."
Su Moyu, who was lying on the bed, let out a weak smile and said, "Big Brother Wang, you're the best!"
