Joy of Life: Season 2 庆余年第二季 Episode 22

When Fan Xian came to see Lin Ruofu, Lin Ruofu had already heard that He Zongwei had come to Fan Xian to accuse him of killing someone after committing fraud last spring. Fan Xian was in a dilemma. If Lin Ruofu was indeed guilty, he had favored his own interests, and he was sorry for his own conscience. If Lin Ruofu was arrested, what would happen? I'm sorry for my fiancée Lin Wan'er.

Lin Ruofu has been the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty for many years and has many disciples, but he cannot recognize them all. He seems to remember that there was an imposter in the spring of last year, but he has never sent anyone to kill people. Lin Ruofu took out the list of the four people who did this last year and asked him to Fan Xian asked them to find out the situation. The more Lin Ruofu thought about it, the more something was wrong. Fan Xian had just taken over the Chunwei personal fraud case, and someone came to accuse him. Lin Ruofu concluded that someone was behind it, and those four people had been bribed long ago, so he burned the list on the spot.

Yan Ruohai and Fan Jian both came to negotiate with Chen Pingping. They both felt that Lin Ruofu's case should not be investigated by Fan Xian, but this was Emperor Qing's order and Chen Pingping could not change it. Yan Bingyun asked He Zongwei to go to Dali Temple to complain, and personally led the guards from the Inspection and Examination Institute to escort He Zongwei and the woman there.

Yuan Hongdao deliberately set an ambush at a hotel on the way to Dali Temple. The front of the hotel faced the street and the back faced the river. Yuan Hongdao also asked the waiter to open the windows facing the river to facilitate evacuation. Yan Bingyun and his party passed by this restaurant. Yuan Hongdao suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at He Zongwei and the woman, wanting to seek justice for Lin Ruofu. Yuan Hongdao pulled out his dagger and flew towards the woman in the carriage. Yan Bingyun gave an order, The guards from the Inspection Institute rushed into the hotel to arrest him, and Yuan Hongdao jumped into the river from the back window and escaped.

Yan Bingyun recognized Yuan Hongdao as Lin Ruofu's disciple, guessed that he was bribed, and secretly mocked the person who used Yuan Hongdao to frame Lin Ruofu for being stupid. Lin Ruofu was very sad to learn about this matter. Yuan Hongdao had followed him for many years, but he did not expect to stab him at the critical moment. Fan Xian deeply sympathized with him. Lin Ruofu took Fan Xian to the palace to meet Emperor Qing. Along the way, he gave Fan Xian a thousand warnings. Wan asked.

After Yuan Hongdao escaped, he took a carriage to Xinyang, Li Yunrui's fiefdom. Fan Jian did not expect that Yuan Hongdao was Li Yunrui's man, so he asked Chen Pingping to send a black cavalry to capture Yuan Hongdao back. Chen Pingping advised Fan Jian to wait patiently for Fan Xian and Lin Ruofu to see Qing. The result of the emperor. When Lin Ruofu saw Emperor Qing, he knelt down and admitted his mistake, saying that he was suffering from various illnesses and wanted to retire and return to his hometown. Emperor Qing didn't believe it at all and asked Fan Xian to take Lin Ruofu's pulse.

Although Fan Xian could not detect any fatal illness in Lin Ruofu from his pulse, Lin Ruofu insisted on resigning. Emperor Qing tried to persuade him to stay, but Lin Ruofu had already decided to leave. Emperor Qing praised him for his hard work and great achievements, but he couldn't find anyone to take over for him. Lin Ruofu knew that he was irreplaceable, so he asked Emperor Qing to choose slowly. Emperor Qing asked him to recommend a few disciples. Lin Ruofu knew that Emperor Qing wanted to use this list to weaken his power in the court. Lin Ruofu refused to take the bait. He claimed to be an upright official and had no disciples suitable to be prime minister. Emperor Qing asked Lin Ruofu to wait until Lin Waner and Fan Xian got married before leaving. Emperor Qing asked him to retire and return home alone. Lin Ruofu entrusted Lin Dabao to Lin Ruofu. Fan Xian, Emperor Qing was relieved to let him leave.

Lin Ruofu took Fan Xian away from the palace. Thinking of what Emperor Qing had done, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. All this was carefully arranged by Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing had wanted to oust him for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse. Emperor Qing asked Fan Xian to preside over this year's Chunwei and handed over the Chunwei fraud case to Fan Xian. Taking this opportunity to bring him down, he didn't expect that Li Chengze had someone pretend to be the leader, so Emperor Qing used his strength to force him to resign.

Fan Xian witnessed the smokeless game between Emperor Qing and Lin Ruofu with his own eyes. Emperor Qing was aggressive and Lin Ruofu was neither humble nor overbearing. He lost in the end, but he kept the final bottom line and refused to hand over the list of disciples, thinking that one day he would return to Kyoto and make a comeback. Lin Ruofu also saw through Emperor Qing's trump card. Emperor Qing forced him to leave in order to make Fan Xian a lonely minister. Fan Xian felt Emperor Qing's coldness for the first time.

Yan Bingyun and his party escorted He Zongwei and the woman to Dali Temple to complain. Eunuch Hou suddenly came to deliver the order. He Zongwei was unusually appointed as the censor of the Inspectorate and took office immediately. He Zongwei was so happy that he knelt down and swore to celebrate. Yan Bingyun was immediately shocked when he pledged allegiance to the emperor. He Zongwei did not attend the Spring Festival and went directly to the Inspectorate to serve as censor. Yan Bingyun urged He Zongwei to get on the road as soon as possible. He Zongwei gave up the prosecution, picked up the woman and left. Yan Bingyun sneered at him. He Zongwei threatened to plead guilty in front of Emperor Qing, and Yan Bingyun left in anger.

Chen Pingping asked Yan Ruohai to change the wheels of the wheelchair, and Yan Ruohai asked Fan Jian to help hold the wheelchair. When Fan Jian learned that Lin Ruofu was forced to retire and return home, he was worried that his status would not be guaranteed and Fan Xian would be left alone. Chen Pingping was optimistic. He firmly believed that Fan Xian could handle the officialdom with ease. Fan Jian could not defeat him, so he had to leave in anger.

Lin Ruofu was going back to his hometown. Before leaving, he called Lin Dabao to his side and told Lin Dabao to learn to protect himself. Apart from Lin Waner and Fan Xian, he should not trust anyone else. If one day they left Lin Dabao alone, he would still be Lin Dabao. With strong backing, Lin Dabao's IQ is comparable to that of a child. He couldn't understand Lin Ruofu's words, but he remembered them all in his heart.
