They all say I'm a tyrant

"Your Majesty." Gao Yong gently pushed open the palace door, and saluted the young emperor who was standing by the window, not knowing what to think, "The time has come, it's time to go to court."

Lin Ce turned his gaze to look at Gao Yong: "Gao Yong, do you still remember the first morning court?"

Gao Yong lowered his head: "Your servant remembers."

There are many descendants of the first emperor, including those with powerful mothers such as the first prince, and those who are thoughtful and painstaking, such as the sixth prince. The princes have been fighting openly and secretly for the throne since they were young, and the courtiers have also stood up for their own futures. However, he did not expect that after the death of the first emperor, the edict left behind was to appoint the little-known King Han as the new emperor, which meant that the snipe and the clam were fighting each other, and in the end the fisherman King Han would benefit.

The other princes suffered heavy losses in the battle for the heir apparent. Some were framed and deprived of their titles, imprisoned for life, and some died directly. That's why King Han was able to ascend to the throne without too much backlash. But it doesn't mean that he can convince the public. The old ministers who are covetous in the court and the former ministries of the princes are all watching his every move, and it seems that they will throw trouble at any time and push him down from the throne.

At that time, although he was already the king of a country, he was not yet the real master of the world.

Lin Ce tilted his head, asked Gao Yong to tie his hair, lowered his head and casually straightened his robe: "I have been waiting for this day for four years." After finishing speaking, he raised his head, A pair of eyes were bottomless, with a cold light shining, with a terrifying meaning of killing, "Let's go."

Gao Yong stepped forward to support Lin Ce, and the master and servant strode out of the gate of Changle Palace.

You can't feel the atmosphere in the palace in Youfu, it's still early, the sky is not yet bright, You Yan is still sleeping peacefully.Living in the palace during this period, he was inevitably affected by Lin Ce's work and rest, and even his lethargy problem improved a lot, and once he returned to the mansion, he returned to his original state.

Ruiyun was squatting on the porch while guarding the charcoal basin to warm his hands, while whispering gossip to a servant, the curtain of the porch was lifted, bringing in a gust of cold wind, Ruiyun raised his head and looked at the person who came in displeased He glared at him: "Your hands and feet should be lighter, the young master is still resting, so be careful not to wake him up."

The young man squatted down next to Ruiyun, and leaned closer to the charcoal basin to warm his hands: "I just came back from the gatehouse, and I saw people from the imperial guards passing by outside our house, heading towards the west of the city, and I don't know what to do. .”

Rui Yun pouted: "The Imperial Guards are in charge of guarding the entire capital. If you have nothing to do and go to the street, you can see them every day. What a surprise."

The young man shook his head: "I have seen the imperial guards on weekdays, but I have never seen them armed and aggressive, as if they are going to raid someone's house."

Ruiyun shook his head, apparently not paying attention to his words, and continued the conversation with the boy just now.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a noise in the room, followed by You Yan's voice, Ruiyun immediately bounced off the ground and entered the room: "Master, are you awake?"

You Yan yawned lazily: "Well, what time is it?"

"Maoshi," Ruiyun said, "it's still early, didn't you come back last night to say you want to sleep well."

"Maoshi," You Yan smiled, "It seems that the morning is not over yet." He put on his middle coat and another outer robe, "Since I'm awake, I don't bother to sleep anymore, I have nothing to do today matter, you will accompany me to stroll around the city later."

In the early years when You Yan was just a noble son, he often took Ruiyun to wander around the city, but in the past few years, it was rare, which surprised Ruiyun, but he never objected to his son's thoughts, and immediately Order someone to prepare warm water for You Yan to wash up.

Although the weather is getting colder, the capital city is no better than other places. There are still a lot of vendors and pedestrians on the street, adding a bit of fireworks to this desolate late autumn.

You Yan wore a plain gown, and Ruiyun put on a sable fur, walking in the crowd seemed a bit out of place, but he didn't care at all.Rui Yun originally thought that You Yan had some purpose to take him out of the mansion, but after walking all the way, he realized that You Yan said he was just wandering around, but he was really just wandering around the city aimlessly.

But even if you are as slow as Ruiyun, you can still feel that today's capital seems to be a little bit different. Apart from ordinary people, there are also a lot of imperial guards. They pass through the streets in a hurry, He didn't care how many onlookers it would attract, and quickly disappeared from the sight of passers-by.

Ruiyun was curious for a moment, recalling what the boy said in the morning, he couldn't help but said: "It seems that there are too many guards on the street today."

You Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter how many, it's just that the battle is a little bit bigger, and this is just the beginning. When the follow-up is all unfolded, the entire capital may be turned upside down."

Ruiyun felt that his young master's words had deep meaning, but he didn't dare to ask any more. Turning around, You Yan had already averted his gaze: "It's too cold, go and have a cup of hot tea." After saying that, he took Ruiyun straight to the house with ease. tea house.

Ever since he learned that the real owner of the teahouse is Lin Jue, You Yan has visited this teahouse more often. Lin Jue also specially ordered someone to leave a private room upstairs for You Yan, just enough to isolate the hustle and bustle outside. , stay a little quiet.

When Ruiyun followed You Yan into the private room, he realized that there was actually a young man in black sitting inside. Then he looked at his young master with a calm and unsurprised expression, and immediately understood: "Young master, I'll go downstairs and take a look around. .”

You Yan bent his lips, watched Ruiyun back out and carefully closed the door, and then turned to that person: "Looking at the battle on the street, I think that Deng Lian must have recruited a lot of people."

The secret guard bowed his hands to You Yan: "Li Bu has only one son who is still young, so he has been relying on this son-in-law for many years. Although Li Bu became more cautious because of the incident in Hexi, but also because of this He would not directly come forward for many things, and left them to Deng Lian to handle. The evidence dug out from Deng Lian's hands ranged from openly buying and selling officials to private relationships with officials in the palace. There are some unsightly transactions between the former prince Lin Tai, any one of which is enough to kill Li Bu's nine clans."

You Yan slightly lowered his eyes: "Li Bu can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties, and His Majesty treats him with great courtesy in the court. As long as he is willing to restrain himself, he will definitely not end up in today's end. But, people, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant .”

"This morning, my subordinates have handed over all the things they got from Deng Lian to the Holy Lord. With these incriminating evidence, the case of Li Bu will also surface. It is no longer something capable subordinates can participate in. "

"It's been hard work," You Yan said, "I asked you to investigate this matter because Li Bu is too cautious, and there are too many things behind this matter. If you investigate directly from the front, you will definitely startle the snake, and there is no way to settle the matter. Now that it has reached this point, even if it is Li Bu, there is no way to stand up again, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice should find something to do."

"Your Majesty seems to be extremely angry about this matter. General, are you really relieved to leave the imperial city at this time?"

"When I left the capital to go to the northwest, the situation in the court was ten thousand times more difficult than it is now, don't underestimate our majesty." You Yan smiled, "Besides, he didn't want you to bother me with these things Well, then I just happened to hide for a while."

The secret guard was thoughtful, and finally clasped his fists at You Yan again: "Then this matter is over, and this subordinate returned to the army to report to General Tao."

You Yan nodded, and poured himself a cup of tea: "It's hard work."

Not long after the dark guard left the private room, Rui Yun hurried up, seeing You Yan still drinking tea leisurely, he hurriedly said: "My lord, something big happened in the court this morning, how can you be so calm and reasonable?" tea?"

"The news spread quickly," You Yan looked away from the teacup, "Tell me, what have you heard in just a while?"

"It is said that Li Bu, the Shangshu, openly accepted bribes for the selection of concubines, bought and sold officials, and even colluded with internal officials in order to deceive the emperor. The Shangshu Mansion was sealed off, and Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Yushicheng were ordered to assist in the case. Now those adults in the court are all in danger, for fear that they will be found on their own heads. Not only will their black hats be lost, but their lives may also be in danger."

Ruiyun quickly finished all the news he had just heard, but unexpectedly did not see any changes on You Yan's face, and You Yan even handed him a cup of tea: "Drink some water."

Rui Yun drank the water and looked at You Yan in disbelief: "My lord, why don't you seem surprised at all, or did you already know it in advance?"

"I've been in the mansion these two days, how can I know what's going on in the palace?" You Yan said, "If you don't do something wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If these adults have a clear conscience, why worry."

In fact, it is no wonder that Ruiyun was so surprised. I think everyone in the court was no less surprised than Ruiyun. After all, there was no reason for this matter before. Even not long ago, Lin Ce was still reusing Li Bu. Choosing the harem for himself, on the contrary, there have been a lot of changes with Youjia. The courtiers thought that even if the emperor had a fit, he would attack Youjia, but they didn't want him to find such a person without making a sound. With so much criminal evidence, Li Bu is not allowed to have a chance to stand up.

Now it seems that only one Li Bu has fallen, but after a thorough investigation of this matter, how many veteran officials in this court will be implicated. was broken.

Rui Yun looked at You Yan: "Young Master, are you not worried about Your Majesty at all? This matter, this matter should not be easy to solve, right? Would you like to go back to the palace and accompany Your Majesty?"

You Yan raised his eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and then shook his head slightly.
