Ministers continuously appeared to impeach Lin Dong.
These were all the mainstays of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and Li Shimin was also in a difficult position.
Only Zhangsun Wuji did not speak.
He was cunning and liked to pretend to be a good person.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not speak nonsense.
Li Shi Min felt a headache coming on. He looked at Lin Dong and said,"Marquis Zhennan, what explanation do you have?"
With Qin Qiong's reminder, Lin Dong was already prepared.
"The ministers who impeached me are all Turkic spies. Your Majesty, please punish them?" Lin Dong calmly asked.”
In an instant, the entire court was in an uproar.
The officials all criticized Lin Dong.
"Marquis Zhennan, you traitor, you dare to speak nonsense in front of His Majesty.”
"You are the Turkic spy."
。。。。。
。。。。
Li Shi Min waved his hand and asked the officials to quieten down. After which, he asked Lin Dong,
"You say that the ministers are Turkic spies, but what evidence do you have?”
Lin Dong explained one by one.
"King Huai An's son-in-law, Liu Xingyun, is a Turkic spy. This is an ironclad fact, and his crime of killing the princess is unforgivable. Yet Hou Fangzhuo was colluding with him. Wasn't he a Turkic spy?”
"The four emissaries plotted against His Majesty. I brought troops to save His Majesty, but Yu Wenpeng actually led his troops to intercept me.”
"The four emissaries attempted to assassinate His Majesty, and I killed them out of loyalty. However, these ministers wanted to kill me today to avenge the assassins of the four emissaries.”
。。。。

Lin Dong spoke out one by one, causing the officials to be rendered speechless. They were actually unable to find a reason to refute.
Originally, they had wanted to use Lin Dong as a scapegoat, just like how the Han Jing Emperor had killed Chao Cuo.
However, now, it was obvious that Lin Dong was not someone to be trifled with.
Lin Dong remembered all the ministers who had impeached him.
He had to find an opportunity to kill them.
The Imperial Court was in a clamor, and there were even instances where Lin Dong engaged in a verbal battle with the scholars.
The scolding war between the two sides began to escalate, and they even spat at each other.
It was very unsightly.
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly stood out.
"I, Li Shentong, am willing to protect the Marquis of Zhennan. The Marquis of Zhennan is the pillar of the country. I hope Your Majesty will not destroy the Great Wall.”
Lin Dong had avenged Li Shen Tong's daughter. Li Shen Tong was extremely grateful and stood by Lin Dong's side.
With the first example, the second, the third, and the fourth stood up one after another.
"I, Qin Qiong, am willing to protect Marquis Zhennan!!”
"I, Cheng Yaojin, am willing to protect Marquis Zhennan!!”
"Your subject, Yuchi Jingde, is willing to protect Marquis Zhennan!!”
"I, Li Jing, am willing to protect Marquis Zhennan!”
"I, Fang Xuanling, am willing to protect Marquis Zhennan!!”
"I, Duke Zhang, am willing to protect the Marquis of Zhennan!!”
。。。。。。
。。。。
Quite a number of old generals from King Qin's Mansion stood up to defend Lin Dong.
These were the hardcore Hawk Faction of the Great Tang.
They all admired Lin Dong's action of killing the four emissaries.
Li Shi Min smiled.
He was originally afraid that Lin Dong would be alone and helpless in the Imperial Court. He did not expect that he would have so many friends.
Li Shi Min followed their wishes and asked the ministers who were impeaching Lin Dong with a stern face.
"Do you really want to kill Lin Dong and avenge the four kingdoms 'diplomatic corps?”
All the ministers fell silent.
They could tell that Li Shiming was angry.
Many of the officials knelt down." I dare not. I only wish to exchange the life of Marquis Zhennan for the peace of Great Tang."”
Li Shimin laughed." I'm not a fatuous ruler. I won't trade the heads of loyal officials for peace." I only believe in the sword in my hand. Only by killing our enemies can we obtain peace in the Great Tang.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Shi Min flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.
"Today, all the ministers who impeached the Marquis of Zhennan will be demoted and retained.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."”
Then, the court session continued.
An hour later, the court session ended and the officials dispersed.
Li Shi Min said to Lin Dong,"Lord Zhennan, stay behind. I wish to hear what your so-called Embroidered Uniform Guard is all about."”
"Yes."
