200 Chapter 238
In the summer of the first year of Emperor Chongwu of the Great Chu, what the ministers felt was not the hot summer weather, but the cold wave that entered the heart and lungs. Corruption is common in officialdom, and bribery can be seen everywhere. The palace is no exception, but some people are bold. Swallowing the royal property wantonly under the eyes of the emperor, even made the palace like a disaster zone.

With such courage and such arrogance, is the next step going to turn this country against him?
The empress dowager was furious, and ordered Yuan Wang, the prime minister, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and the secretary of the Dali Temple to investigate the matter strictly. Anyone who was found to be related to the matter would be imprisoned and await further investigation.

All the officials are in danger, and the big family is also in a turbulent undercurrent.

With the passage of time, more and more people were detected, and the involvement became more and more serious. All the officials panicked. If this continues, it is impossible to kill the nobles in the entire capital.

Ye Lin also knew that the time was almost up, so she summoned the leaders of the major families and the highly respected princes of the royal family to discuss.

In fact, the cause of this incident was mainly caused by the Lin family, the grandfather of the imperial concubine. The Lin family was a big merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. They did business both underground and on the ground, and there were a lot of dirty things inside.

After Gongsun Wenyi was conferred the title of Concubine Virtue, the power to take charge of the Sixth Palace gradually handed over the supply of internal affairs to the Lin family. At first, the Lin family took control of the majesty of the royal family and did not dare to mess with their brains. Not to mention that the mishandling of the goods was not discovered, and he also won huge profits, which made Lin start to move around.After tasting the sweetness a few times, it got worse, and the supplies for ordinary court ladies and eunuchs gradually became fakes.

Gongsun Wenyi was afraid when she knew it, but under the guidance of the Lin family and the temptation of huge benefits, she still let her take the risk, but she controlled the harem even more strictly, and later Huangfu Ling Kai became the throne, and she was even more confident , thinking that history has abolished concubines and empresses, but not abolished empress dowagers, so the emperor would never do anything to her.

It's just that her idea is quite good, but it's a pity that Emperor Xian and Ye Lin got confused.

And the Lin family relied on being the emperor's mother clan. In the Jiangnan area, they bullied men and women, exploited the common people, and even ruined other merchants who did not submit to them.

Of course, the reason why they can do such evil is that firstly, they have accumulated a lot of wealth and bribed many officials; Confused.

Now, Huangfu Ling Kai's foundation is not enough, it is not too expensive to rashly send so many powerful people, it will touch the fundamentals, and if it is too much, they will counterattack, and things will become more difficult to control at that time, it is better to just sell the power and nobles for favors, One is to cut off the connection between some vacillating nobles and Gongsun Wenyi, and it also makes them dare not use their brains any more. Second, Ye Lin's goal this time is only the Lin family. It is unrealistic to lose all the valuables of Dachu.

The so-called dead friends don't die poor, since the queen mother is willing to stop here and put all the crimes on Lin's head, they are naturally very willing to find a scapegoat, but after all, Lin is the mother of the emperor.

The dignitaries and ministers secretly raised their eyes to look at the emperor who seemed to be asleep. Does your Majesty have any objections?That's his foreign race!
"It's best to destroy the people and things in your family that are connected with the Lin family, or provide them to the court. Otherwise, if you are caught in the future, don't blame me and the queen mother for going back and forth."

Huangfu Ling Kai raised his eyelids, and said flatly, if it wasn't for the fact that she didn't like blood flowing into rivers, how could he let some people go so easily, but don't worry, take your time.

"Wei Chen understands."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the emperor really doesn't care about the Lin family. That's fine. As for the things related to the Lin family, hehe, they are not fools. They dare to keep it. Isn't this courting death?
All the ministers walked down the steps passed by the emperor and queen mother.

"What to do and what not to do, it's best to let me measure it, and next time, don't call me for mercy or wrong."

Some ministers thumped in their hearts, feeling the fear of being stripped of their clothes and being seen naked. Your Majesty, what do you know?
Suppressing the heart that was jumping into the throat, he knelt down in fear and fear: "I don't dare."

"Go back."

"I'm waiting to retire."

"I'm afraid that after this time, those people's rebellious hearts will be more determined." Human nature is like this sometimes. If you catch a little bit of his fault, he will always worry that you will grab it and threaten him. In order to eliminate this anxiety, they Then they will find ways to make the person who holds their wrong place disappear or seize the other party's handle to threaten them.

"It doesn't matter, just to see how many people are looking for death!" Huangfu Ling Kai snorted, since he didn't want to die then, he would help them.

Huangfu Ling Kai caressed her face, and said distressedly: "It just so happens that this time is also a buffer, and I will take care of it later, so you don't need to be so tired." Recently, she has made arrangements and has to deal with government affairs, and sometimes she is so busy that she forgets to eat , but he can't refuse, this is her effort for him, all he can do is to take good care of his body, and don't let her down.

"I'm not tired. Besides, I'm just laying out the layout. I didn't do the other hard work."

This time Ye Lin dared to investigate, mainly because the families of Shu, Xian, and Concubine Hui had a pivotal position among the powerful and powerful in the Great Chu, and those whose families were involved were not the main family, but side branches. Ye Lin even sent them a Opportunities for side branches and promotion of fame, although risky, but with the support of the royal family, it is not impossible to win.Of course, the premise is that the emperor does not shield the mother clan.

Fortunately, they made the right bet. Compared with the majesty and face of the royal family, the mother clan is nothing at all.

The powerful ministers thought so, but they didn't know that Huangfu Ling Kai's original intention was to pull out the malignant tumor of Lin's family, and broke one of Gongsun Wenyi's arms.

……

On the summer solstice of the first year of Emperor Chongwu, various ministries found out that the Lin family despised the royal family, deceived the emperor, disturbed the court, and killed innocent people. All adult men were beheaded and all women were sent to the teaching workshop as slaves. , the rest of the minors were exiled outside the Great Wall and were not allowed to return to the Central Plains for life.

The officials were shocked, they never expected that the emperor would be so merciless towards his mother clan, at least they did not expect to be so ruthless, would this cut off all the Lin family's backs? !

In fact, what they couldn't understand the most was the emperor's attitude towards the imperial concubine. Normally, the imperial concubine was the emperor's biological mother, so how could the emperor be more inclined to her.

But after the queen mother entered the palace, the emperor showed that he was on the queen mother's side, and there was no cover-up. At first, they thought that the emperor was setting a target for the queen mother and paving the way for their mother.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Alas, they really don't understand the king's mind, even though the current king is only ten years old.

And the most unacceptable thing was Gongsun Wenyi, she could never have imagined that her son would be so ruthless to her foreigners. After this incident broke out, she was also worried, but thought that the emperor was at most filling up the property of the Lin family , take a few as scapegoats, let the Lin family hide from the world for a few years, and wait for the limelight to pass, and then find a reason for the Lin family to come back.

However, he didn't expect that he would cut off the queen of the Lin family, making the Lin family beyond redemption.

This pervert!

"Go away, I want to see the emperor."

Ever since the Lin family had an accident, Gongsun Wenyi had been imprisoned by Ye Lin in her own palace. Although she was anxious, she also felt that with the emperor around, Ye Lin did not dare to be too harsh on the Lin family. But now, it is That rebellious son, how could Gongsun Wenyi sit still?
"Your Concubine, the Empress Dowager has told you that you are not allowed to leave Yongning Palace."

The guard stopped Gongsun Wenyi.

"Fuck off, what is that bitch? She framed my Lin family, and I will never let her go."

Gongsun Wenyi's face was cold, her eyes were stern, she tore off the disguise, and did not hide her hatred and hostility towards Ye Lin at all. Even though the Lin family deserved it, even if the imperial edict had been issued, she still refused to admit it. Yes, those people are just lowly servants and lowly people, so what?As the emperor's biological mother, her mother's family is from the emperor's foreign clan, so she is very honorable, so what if she took the things of those untouchables?
"Presumptuous, Concubine Gui, the Empress Dowager is the mother of the Great Chu Kingdom, you are just a concubine, insulting the Empress Dowager like this, is this what a concubine should do?"

"What kind of mother is she? I am the emperor's biological mother, the mother of the country. You slave, you dare to reprimand me, Rong Dehai, teach me a lesson for this slave."
