Chapter 498 Fermentation
Yang Lin has been very irritable these days, and the gossip outside made him feel uncomfortable being calculated by others.
"Have you found it?"
"Returning to the lord, the word has already spread outside. At first, a certain guard of the Qin family made a big mouth about Miss Xiangyu's experience in Fengri City, and then it spread to the street, and then you were also involved. But There is no definite evidence to find out who is secretly spreading these messages."
Yang Lin frowned and said, "It means that it's not an accident, but someone deliberately telling stories? Is there any sign to say who is most likely?"
"It's possible for the Qin family."
But Yang Lin shook his head: "It can't be the Qin family. Qin Wenhe has an elm head and doesn't know how to play this kind of tricks. Besides, the rumors annoyed me and directly broke the engagement. It's not their Qin family who suffer in the end? Keep an eye on my brothers and sisters, I think their shadows are indispensable in this matter!"
"The rest of the princes? But so far there is no sign of their meddling."
"Hmph, if you didn't find out, it doesn't mean you don't have one. Don't be fooled by appearances. The Qin family is just being used by others and you don't need to pay attention. Just keep an eye on my brothers. It's going to be the most critical time recently, so I have to guard against it." .”
"The subordinate understands."
"However, if this matter of the Qin family is spread, we can't ignore it. Yesterday, the queen mother asked me to enter the palace for questioning, and told me not to tear up my marriage with the Qin family just because of gossip. It's on my head. Do you have any suggestions?"
Yang Lin sat on the chair and looked at the staff standing in front of him with a stern expression. This is the person he newly promoted last month. This person is good at analysis and layout. He used this person's plan to smugly blackmail his elder brother Yang Baicheng, which made him very satisfied. So I have brought this person close to me recently.
"My lord, if your marriage with the Qin family needs to continue, then this matter will become a problem for your face. In essence, it has no effect, and I'm afraid that someone will make a fuss about this matter to damage your prestige."
Face, prestige, this level of consciousness is sometimes useless and sometimes very important. At other times, maybe Yang Lin could choose to ignore it and be a coward and he wouldn't have a big problem. Maybe the bad-footed people would give him a hat of "modest-mindedness".
But now the emperor is obviously letting the princes compete, and only the one who performs best can inherit the throne. Let alone Yang Lin at this moment, which prince would dare to be careless?
As long as you are literate, you will know that there is basically no possibility of "peace talks" between the princes after looking through the replacement of each generation of emperors in the old Jing Dynasty. Most of them welcome the new emperor with blood. Mutual red-eyed enemies.
Yang Lin didn't interrupt, his attitude was very clear, swallowing his anger would not be the choice now, it would depend on what the staff member said next.
"If your lord wants to put pressure on Fengri City, you can directly ask the commander Pang Ban to hold him accountable. According to the laws of the country, although you don't have the power to directly govern Xuan Qingwei, you can help him go astray, and you can also ask for help. His Majesty advises."
Yang Lin shook his head, dissatisfied: "Is this asking me to sue everywhere? Why can't I clean up that bastard in Fengsun City by myself?"
"My lord, don't be impulsive. Wu Changhe was executed by Pang Ban with an excuse. His original intention was to cut off your idea of meddling Xuan Qingwei. If you go directly to trouble that Shen Baihu, Pang Ban will definitely treat him as a favor." With Pang Ban's character, he would definitely respond to provocation, and things would get complicated at that time.
The subordinate's suggestion is not to be in a hurry, first use the normal channels to put pressure on Xuan Qingwei, and at the same time see if there are other changes in this matter, and then make contingencies. "
After such an explanation, Yang Lin heard something from it again, and asked doubtfully, "Do you think this matter will change?"
"Yes, my lord. The subordinates always feel that this matter will not be so simple. Because neither you nor Xuan Qingwei is likely to make any "win or lose" under the current situation. It doesn’t make sense for the black hands who secretly promote this matter, so they will definitely take action in the future.”
What he said was the truth, but Yang Lin's face was not good-looking, because he felt that the staff in front of him implied that he was no match for a mere Xuanqing guard and a hundred households.
"Then go down, keep an eye on this matter, and report any changes in time."
"The subordinate will leave."
Yang Lin suddenly didn't like the staff who made him look up to him a while ago. It seems that he has the ability, but this person is brainless and can't speak, and his impression is gradually declining. Maybe wait a few days before another staff member comes in?
As a prince, now it's time for great changes, Yang Lin has no shortage of talents around him, he just wants to pick a capable and comfortable staff member. It's a pity that I have changed several times and have not found a suitable one.
In fact, as a staff member of the palace, he is as clear as a mirror.
The staff members are not mediocre, at least they have a skill to be eligible to enter the palace. Then you need to show your value for a period of time to gain the respect of the prince. This is no more cruel and debilitating than being an official within the system. Because those who come to be a staff member are those who cannot follow the path of the system or who are ambitious and want to fix the world. Unless they can become the prince's confidant or assist the prince to become the emperor, otherwise everything in the staff will be a cloud of smoke and fleeting.
Yang Lin was picking his staff, but the staff couldn't pick the prince. Even if you are disliked by a prince, you can't change the family. This is the rule. If you break the rules, you will not only hate the last master, but you will also be cast aside. If your reputation is bad, you will no longer be able to eat the job of the staff.
So Yang Lin's aides who were selected by him were actually speaking euphemistically to take care of his emotions, but Yang Lin didn't seem to think so.
Events changed faster than Yang Lin thought. Just the second day after he asked about this matter, the staff member who was about to be listed as "inappropriate" by him came with news.
"My lord, early this morning, more than ten people stopped the car of Ma Xuanlin, Minister of the Criminal Department, on Junhou Street to call for grievances. Afterwards, Ma Xuanlin asked the reason on the street. It turned out that these ten people were all Miss Qin's family when she was arrested in Fengsun City. The family members of the three black-shirted children who were imprisoned together and died, accused Xuan Qingwei of killing people indiscriminately and indiscriminately, and they want Ma Xuanlin to uphold justice."
Yang Lin laughed out loud when he heard the words, and the confusion that had just gotten up was swept away in an instant: "Sue Xuan Qingwei? Do these people have shit in their heads? Or are they crazy? It's no wonder Ma Xuanlin dared to take the blame!"
The staff hesitated to speak.
"What else? Say it!"
"Well, my lord, after Ma Xuanlin asked these ten people why they blocked the car, he took them back to the office of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." The staff still tried to say some things in a roundabout way.
