Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 76: The final conclusion.

"Chen Pingping, do you have any other evidence?"

Emperor Qing had a calm expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He shook his head slowly and said, "If what Guo Qing said is true, it makes sense that Second Young Master Lin was friends with this person. Prime Minister Lin suddenly heard the bad news, so if you don't have any other evidence, don't speak nonsense."

Before Chen Pingping could respond, Lin Ruofu hurriedly stood up and bowed to Emperor Qing, his expression indescribably sad, "My son was rude and reckless, and made friends with treacherous people by mistake, which led to the current misfortune. It was really fate and destiny!"

“But…” Lin Ruofu’s pupils were flushed with blood, and the bloodshot in his eyeballs looked a little hideous. He turned his head and looked at Chen Pingping, who was already a little gloomy, and said in a deep voice: “My son has always been a man of integrity, loyal to the emperor and patriotic! If you say that he would have such a rebellious heart and planned to assassinate the minister’s son, I absolutely cannot believe it!”

He straightened up and explained, "I have also seen Wu Bo'an, and he does have some talent. If what Dean Chen said is true, then I am also suspicious."

Lin Ruofu is worthy of being the head of all officials.

As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers spoke up in agreement.

"That's right! I have also seen this man. He looks like an upright person. Who could have thought that he is such a sinister person?"

“You can paint the skin of a tiger but not its bones; you can know a person’s face but not his heart!”

"If everyone who has a connection with Wu Bo'an is suspected, then wouldn't that mean that half of the officials in Kyoto are also suspected?"

The court of Nanqing is very interesting.

If a general debate was opened by the President of the Supervisory Council, it would have to be temporarily restrained, and then all the officials would unite and point their guns at Chen Pingping to prevent him from becoming the only one in power.

Many ministers still felt that their words were not influential enough, so they knelt down and spoke to Emperor Qing with excited and excited expressions.

Looking at all this, a smile flashed across Emperor Qing's eyes.

On the contrary, his expression was even colder. He glanced at Chen Pingping, as if he was a little impatient with the ministers' advice, and said, "You haven't finished speaking yet. If you have anything else to say, say it all while all the ministers are here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chen Pingping glanced at Lin Ruofu calmly and said, "Minister Lin is heartbroken over the death of his son. I shouldn't have said this at this time. If my words have offended you in any way, I hope you will calm down."

"I just have one thing that I don't understand. With the intensity of the Overwatch Council's search, they were unable to find any trace of Wu Bo'an in one day and one night, but the Second Young Master was able to enjoy the scenery with him in Cangshan Mountain while tasting wine." Chen Pingping's eyes were filled with coldness, "And the timing is so coincidental, it happened right after the Niulan Street assassination."

At this point, how could Prime Minister Lin not have realized that this was a double act between His Majesty and President Chen?

The words implicitly mentioned Lin Gong's suspicion. With the ability of the Supervisory Commission, they didn't provide solid evidence. Is it that they can't provide it? Maybe it was just to warn me not to use this matter to make a fuss.
He turned his head and glanced at Guo Youzhi, and saw a hint of stupidity in the latter's clear eyes. He became more and more certain of something in his heart.

Yuan Hongdao, the counselor in the palace, has known him for many years. He also went to the Supervisory Council last night to interrogate Si Lili. It seems that this matter was not done by Fan Xian. In this case, the death of his son might be the result of the mastermind behind the murder through the hands of Dongyi City.
Seeing that His Majesty's words were vague and he was trying to smooth things over, as if he was covering up for someone, the identity of the person behind the scenes was obvious.

Li Yunrui!
You are really crazy!
After thinking about it, Lin Ruofu apologized to Emperor Qing: "I have neglected the care of my children and am unworthy of the position of Prime Minister. Please allow me to retire."

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Qing interrupted him and said, "Why is Prime Minister Lin doing this? It is still unknown whether Wu Bo'an planned the Niulan Street case. There is no need to mention his retirement!"

Now that they were about to attack Northern Qi, it was the time to use people. Which of the logistics and food supplies did not require Prime Minister Lin to coordinate and arrange? Lin Ruofu's words were just a retreat to advance. Emperor Qing took it lightly and passed the matter over.

Seeing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from His Majesty's behavior, he doesn't intend to delve into the hidden story behind this. In other words, this matter will not implicate them!
Their eyes met, they exchanged opinions, and then they all spoke to comfort Lin Xiang. For a moment, it was a scene of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

"Don't worry, Minister Lin. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"

"Dongyi City colluded with Northern Qi and assassinated the sons of ministers in the court one after another. I will send a letter to the country soon and use the power of my country to attack the two countries and seek justice for you!" He took advantage of the situation and put an end to the matter!

Knowing that this case had become the fuse of the national war, Lin Ruofu felt bitter, and he could only kneel down to express his gratitude and support the emperor's intention with sincere words.
After this, and after comforting Prime Minister Lin for a few more words, Emperor Qing's majestic voice sounded again, "The prefect of Jingdu, Mei Zhili, will be fined for half a year and ordered to submit a memorial to plead guilty. The Supervisory Council will hand over the case file to the Ministry of Justice for further investigation. After the case is concluded and sorted out, an imperial edict will be issued to Dongyi City, ordering them to hand over the culprit."

"It's done, let's all go!"

With a wave of his robe, all the ministers left the stage.

However, some people stayed behind. They were Chen Pingping and Prince Jing.

In the case of Lin Gong, Fan Xian was somewhat suspicious, so his father Fan Jian did not attend the meeting in order to avoid suspicion.

"Prince Jing, what else do you want?" Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and asked softly with the corners of his lips raised, "Or do you also suspect that it was Fan Xian who did it?"

"That is not my intention."

Prince Jing pretended to be startled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I have met Fan Xian once before, and judging from his appearance, he seems to be a kind-hearted person. Besides, how long has he been in Kyoto? Even Dean Chen couldn't find out the whereabouts of this person, so how could he know?"

This reason is very powerful.

He was just worried, so he came to the palace to find out the news.

It is said that Lin Gong's death was strange and vaguely related to Fan Xian. Prince Jing was also worried that someone would suspect him. For the sake of this junior, he might have to save face.
"Oh, so you came here to say something nice."

"Okay, you haven't been to the palace for a while, go visit your mother! I think she will be happy to see you."

Emperor Qing picked up the teacup, his intention was clear.

After Prince Jing bowed and left, there was a loud bang, and Emperor Qing actually dropped the cup in his hand to the ground. The porcelain cup immediately broke into pieces, and the amber liquid inside splashed everywhere, soaking the trouser legs of the lame man in front of him.
Unlike before, Emperor Qing now had a cold expression, ready to devour someone, with a strong sense of oppression: "Si Gu Jian! You thought of this!"

A strange look flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice:
"But Lao Wu is back?"

After a long silence, Chen Pingping answered silently.

"That's it!" Emperor Qing sighed, "Since we have come to a conclusion, let's just leave it at that."

The words "so far" had already struck the lame old man's heart hard. He lowered his head, his eyes becoming sinister.
Your Majesty, are you planning not to pursue the person who assassinated Fan Xian?

He had originally wanted to take advantage of this incident to ask His Majesty to cancel the marriage between the Fan and Lin families, and to keep Fan Xian away from the vortex of the inner treasury. But now it seemed that this was impossible.
Suddenly, Emperor Qing started talking again:
"What do you think of Northern Qi's new Consort De?"

"In my opinion." Chen Pingping raised his head and looked at Emperor Qing's question, and said word by word, "This person is from the Northern Qi generation..."

"Heavenly Vein!"

　I deleted and revised it, revised and deleted it, and barely compressed it into one chapter.

　　I have briefly explained what needs to be explained, and I hope you will be gentle with your criticism.

　　After that, there are two modules, and then we will come to the chapter of the Queen Mother.

　　A war between the two countries will begin (subject to change)
　　that's all.
