The reason Prime Minister Lin tolerated Lin Gong's murder was because he loved his sons, Lin Dabao and Lin Wan 'er. Even though he suspected Fan Xian was Lin Gong's murderer, he chose to endure this hatred and doubt so that Lin Dabao and Lin Wan 'er could live well. In addition, when Minister Lin was being pursued, the Great Prince and Fan Xian had arrived in time and saved him. This had also made him develop a certain trust in Fan Xian. Thus, Minister Lin chose to endure the pain of Lin Gong's death out of consideration for his child and Fan Xian.
Lin Xiang did not change his character in the drama "Celebrating Years 2".
In Celebrating Years 2, Prime Minister Lin's role had indeed been changed. The role of Ye Ling 'er, originally played by Han Jiunuo, was now played by Jin Chen. In addition, Xiao Zhan's role as Yan Bingyun was also taken over by Wu Xingjian. The replacement of these characters caused some controversy and discussion.
In the end, Prime Minister Lin learned that Lin Gong was Wu Zhu's son.
Lin Gong was the son of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, and his mother was the Eldest Princess. Lin Ruofu and the Eldest Princess did not have any real feelings for each other. In order to cover up the scandal with the Qing Emperor, the Eldest Princess married Lin Ruofu and gave birth to Lin Gong. Therefore, Lin Gong was not Lin Ruofu's biological son.
In " Celebrating Years," Prime Minister Lin finally chose to believe Fan Xian because he was certain that Lin Gong's death had nothing to do with Fan Xian. Prime Minister Lin had initially suspected Fan Xian of being the murderer of his son because Fan Xian was Lin Gong's good friend. After Lin Gong was killed, Fan Xian had taken revenge for his good friend. However, after many probing and observations, Minister Lin began to trust Fan Xian. When he saw Fan Xian talking to Dabao and saw Fan Xian's long-lost sincerity, he also began to suspect that his guesses and suspicions might be wrong. In addition, Lin Gong's death also provided a reason for the Qing Emperor to go to war with Northern Qi. This also made Minister Lin believe Fan Xian. In short, Minister Lin chose to believe Fan Xian based on his probing and observation of Fan Xian, as well as the circumstances after Lin Gong's death.
Prime Minister Lin finally found out that Lin Gong was Wu Zhu. Lin Gong was the mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination, and Wu Zhu was Fan Xian's close friend. After Lin Gong was killed, Minister Lin began to suspect Fan Xian was the murderer and tested him many times. However, Fan Xian was cleared of suspicion because Si Lili insisted during the interrogation that she did not tell Fan Xian that Lin Gong was the mastermind behind the scenes. Although Fan Xian did not admit it, Minister Lin, the Qing Emperor, Fan Jian, and Chen Pingping guessed the truth. They knew that Wu Zhu had killed Lin Gong. As a result, Prime Minister Lin eventually learned that Lin Gong had been killed by Wu Zhu.
In the end, Prime Minister Lin learned that Wu Zhu had killed Lin Gong. In the 19th episode of the TV series " Celebrating Years," Minister Lin directly told Fan Xian that Lin Gong was the mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination and tested Fan Xian's attitude towards the Lin family. Fan Xian pretended not to know about this and didn't understand why Lin Gong wanted to kill him, but Minister Lin felt that Fan Xian's reaction was not fake.
