In the next few days, people in Kyoto were in panic. From time to time, patrolling guards or flying dragon guards would pass by on the streets, walking in a hurry and filled with murderous intent.
Sometimes prisoners in shackles were also detained.
Outside the Meridian Gate, prisoners were executed every day.
Ordinary people felt the smell and did not dare to go out unless there was something particularly important. The entire Kyoto was in an extremely depressing atmosphere.
In comparison, Lin Mansion seemed particularly lively.
Because Lin Bai had nothing to do these days, Lao Zhu was not interested in dealing with other matters at all and was busy cleaning the entire Kyoto.
Just kidding, the rebels have sneaked into the palace. This is absolutely intolerable for an emperor. Mass killing is inevitable. According to the news that Lin Bai received from the Shadow Pavilion, countless people died in the entire Kyoto.
All forces are affected, and Shadow Pavilion is no exception.
Fortunately, they have always kept a low profile and focused on obtaining intelligence, so the losses were not huge.
Of course, these are not the reasons for the excitement in Lin Mansion. The reason is that everyone knows that His Majesty is about to decree a marriage.
My uncle is going to become the prince-in-law, and the daughter of the Prime Minister is also going to come in. With such a happy event, the servants are naturally very happy, and even Su Mingyue has a smile on her face.
Not because of the addition of a sister, but because of the meaning behind it.
This is a reflection of His Majesty's trust.
In an era when imperial power was supreme, it was self-evident how important such trust was, especially after rumors about the husband's identity spread.
Um! The happiest person is Miss Yan.
In the past few days, the corners of her mouth have been raised unconsciously, and her pretty face is also red. Although she has been harmed by the talented man for a long time, she feels different.
In the yard, the talented man was teasing little Susu.
The Iron Lady has been basking in the sun for more than 20 days. She is almost ready for confinement. She no longer has to stay in the house all day long.
The little girl is lively again and is fighting the landlord with the old lady and Xiaojiu.
Apart from being frightened that night, this girl was fine the next day, especially after being praised by her brother-in-law, she became even more frightened.
The whole yard was filled with her purring voice.
At this time, Eunuch Cao suddenly walked in with a smile on his face, "Master Lin, the imperial edict has arrived!"
Is the edict coming?
Hearing this, the little girl no longer wanted to play, and said: "Is it a marriage? Sister Ruxue, you are going to be my brother-in-law's bride."
Yan Ruxue blushed, "It's still early! Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Bai also had some doubts.
Lao Zhu said that when the matter passed and the Queen Mother's health improved, the matter was not over yet, and the Queen Mother's health was getting worse day by day. He had visited her in the past two days. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for His Majesty to grant a marriage.
However, besides the marriage, he couldn't think of anything else.
Eunuch Cao smiled at this time and said: "The Queen Mother is in poor health. I'm afraid the marriage will have to wait for a while. Congratulations to Mr. Lin on your promotion. Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has been appointed as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and will officially take office tomorrow."
"Brother-in-law has been promoted again?"
The little girl had already shouted excitedly, "Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, what rank is this official?"
The old lady said: "The third rank is responsible for the appointment, promotion, etc. of officials."
The little girl's bright eyes widened, "Isn't that an official who specializes in managing officials? Then is it okay to ask my brother-in-law to give me a small official?"
This girl is crazy and jumping for joy.
Su Mingyue and Yan Ruxue were equally excited. Their husband had been promoted, and this official was extraordinary. The real center of power was definitely not the previous ones.
Yan Ruxue quickly handed out red envelopes, and those who came got a share.
However, the talented man was not happy at all, because he knew that hard times were coming, and it might not be that simple to fish in the future.
But there is no choice. What can I say now that this is the case? I can only accept the order obediently.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Cao!"
Eunuch Cao smiled and said: "Master Lin, you are very polite. In addition, His Majesty has ordered that the morning court will resume tomorrow. Master Lin, please remember to come early."
After this incident, Lao Zhu has not gone to the morning court for several days.
It is estimated that this incident is almost over. The Red Lotus Sect cannot kill them all at once, so they can only take their time.
After sending Eunuch Cao away, the servants in the house were also in joy. My uncle was promoted, and they also followed the rising tide. How could they not be happy!
Miss Yan followed the eldest sister's wishes and gave red envelopes to every servant, and also prepared a big meal in the evening to celebrate her husband.
After eating, Miss Yan continued to read the account book.
Lin Bai came over at this time and blinked, "Miss Yan seems a little unhappy, because of the marriage?"
Yan Ruxue glared at him and said duplicitously: "No."
Lin Bai had a smile on his face.
Yan Ruxue stared at him, "Why are you laughing?"
Lin Bai chuckled and said, "You are stupid to laugh at me. You are already my husband, and you still care about breaking the imperial edict? My husband promises you that regardless of whether the imperial edict is broken or not, I will give you a grand and grand marriage ceremony."
"I don't care about it!"
Miss Yan looked arrogant, but the sweetness at the corners of her mouth had betrayed her.
Lin Bai had a wicked smile on his face, picked her up and said, "Work harder and try to hold the baby and get married together."
"don't want!"
…
the next day.
It was still dark, so Lin Bai had to get up.
no! The morning court time must be changed in some way. In the past, when I was a junior official, I didn't need to go to the morning court every time. It didn't matter. Now, the Minister of Civil Affairs has to go to the morning court every time.
The key is that Lao Zhu is still a hard-working emperor, who will go to court as soon as possible if nothing happens. Who the hell can stand this?
In the main hall, many ministers had already arrived at this time.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, for being promoted to the position of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It's a great pleasure."
"Master Lin is really enviable. In just a short time after entering the court, he has become a third-rank official. I hope that Master Lin will take care of you in the future."
"Master Lin, good things are coming soon. Don't be stingy about treating me to a wedding drink when the time comes."
"..."
Many ministers complimented him one after another.
These are all human beings. They are talented people in their prime. They are already third-rank officials at a young age. Their marriage to the Seventh Princess has already been spread in the hunting ground.
Not to mention the daughter of the prime minister, she is already in the right couple. If you include the military general...
Tsk tsk! This has never happened since the great departure of the country.
It has never been heard of even in the past dynasties.
Of course, the great talent was so talented that he was already praised as a being that surpassed the semi-saints, and everyone could only envy him.
"My lords, you're welcome..."
Lin Bai exclaimed, "It's nothing more than business bragging, familiarity!"
At this time, Dong Changtian, the Minister of Rites, came over and sighed: "Who would have thought that a few months ago, the candidates for the general examination presided over by me would be standing with me in the blink of an eye. It is really incredible."
Dong Changtian was the examiner of Lin Bai's examination, so it's no wonder that he was emotional.
In just a few months, the great talent seemed to have become a rocket.
Lin Bai could only smile and exchange a few words.
At this time, Dong Changtian suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Master Lin, now you and I are on the same front. We will make suggestions to Your Majesty later and hope that Master Lin will support you."
? ?
Why are we on the same front? What are you suggesting?
Lin Bai looked confused. At this moment, a sharp voice rang out, "Your Majesty is here!"
…
