The emperor smiled and said, "Actually, as long as he has the 200,000 taels of silver in one day, he will not dare to be righteous for the rest of the day. I asked him, an official from the Ministry of Rites, to be responsible for the investigation. This is also the intention of this."

"Today I asked him to return to his hometown to let go, it was the grace of the emperor. If I asked him to return to the court in the future, it was the majesty of the national law. How could my money be given for free?"

Chen Ju said: "I understand, it's like fishing. Since the bait is put down, it's too tight and too loose. This is the way to control it."

The emperor nodded, and Chen Ju also sighed deeply. It was a pity that Lin Yanchao seemed to have escaped from the cage, but he fell deeper. The whole story was like this. Everything was under the control of the emperor. Lin Yanchao, Luo Sigong, and Zhang Cheng behind Luo Sigong, including Chen Ju, were all the emperor's pawns.

Chen Ju showed a trace of absurdity. Even if Lin Yanchao noticed this matter later and returned the 200,000 taels to the emperor, the situation would be different.

If you take it, you will take it. This is a stain of life and will never be washed away.

Thinking about Lin Yanchao’s use of corruption to overthrow Zhang Jing and kill Ma Yu, isn’t this ironic?

At this moment, Chen Ju remembered that Sun Long was still outside the door and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Sun Long has been waiting for a long time, do you want it..."

"Supreme him in."

Soon Sun Long entered and kowtowed, "Slave Sun Long, I have an urgent matter to report to Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "What urgent matter can you have?"

Sun Long said: "It is really a strange thing to report to Your Majesty. The slave has been ordered to serve in the warehouse in the interior of the warehouse these days, but he was encountering the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion unloading the cloth to the inner warehouse. However, when the slave unboxing the cloth as usual, the one found out from the box was not the cloth."

"Why do you embezzle cloth? How did you do it?"

Sun Long hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is not like this. I discovered... that the box was not cloth, but full of silver ingots."

"Silver ingot?"

The emperor felt absurd.

What is Jiangnan Weaving Mansion doing? Is it a silver ingot for delivery?

"I've asked about it. They did deliver cloth before, but when they were living in the inn, they made some mistakes halfway through. When they went back to check, the cloth was still at the inn, but they sent these boxes of silver into the palace this morning."

The emperor thought there was something so ridiculous, but suddenly he woke up and asked, "How much money is there?"

Sun Long said: "I almost passed the slave, not much or less, just 200,000 taels of silver!"

The emperor said calmly: "This is true!"

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty." Sun Long replied.

The emperor said again: "It's exactly one tael of 200,000 taels of silver? No one said who gave it?"

Sun Long said: "That's right, no one said that anyone gave it to me, but there was a poem in the box. The slave had no talent and didn't know what it meant."

"Take it to me to see!"

Sun Long immediately presented it.

The emperor read the poem, pondered it for a while, and then asked Chen Ju: "Where is this poem originating?"

When Chen Ju picked up the poem, he would naturally know the source of his well-read poetry and books. He immediately recited word by word: "The gold on the waist has retreated,

The news is also common.

People at that time should know Gao Zhai Lao,

It's just Zhao Silang of Amura."

Chen Ju pretended to be hard and thought for a while, and then said, "Report to Your Majesty, I remembered that this poem came from Zhao Qian, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. After Zhao Yan returned home, he had no intention of becoming an official with the villagers. He named his place where he lived Gaozhai and wrote this poem."

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly understood something and read Zhan Shi again.

"The gold on the waist pendant has been returned! He has already returned the 200,000 taels of silver."

Then the emperor continued to read: "The news is also common. People at that time wanted to know Mr. Gao Zhai, but Zhao Silang of A Village!"

The emperor thought to himself that he had written this letter in the morning, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind to resign. Everyone in the world was willing to make friends with Lin Sanyuan, Lin Xuegong, and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, were just an ordinary countryman.

The emperor immediately said, "Chen Ju, get Lin Yanchao back for me!"

Chen Ju said, "Your Majesty, you have issued an order to approve Lin Yanchao's resignation. You have no jokes. You can't recover it now."

The emperor stood there in a daze.

At this moment, outside the Forbidden City, the breeze blew by, and the sunset hung above the palace city.

Lin Yanchao took off the black veil and held it in his hand. Several bundles of hair fell from the bun and swept in front of his eyes with the wind.

At this moment, Lin Yanchao looked calm and stopped by the white jade railing and leisurely watching the sunset in the sky.
