As soon as he heard this, Wang Lin held his forehead helplessly.
Although the expression on his face was a bit unsightly, after all, this was an imperial edict from his own brother, and he could not just leave the eunuchs from the palace outside like this.
So Wang Lin got up and came to the courtyard, ready to receive the order.
"The emperor is destined to carry the emperor, and the edict says: Prince Lin defeated the Hu people and protected the country. Today's reward... I now order Prince Lin to return to the palace to receive the reward. The matters here are under the joint jurisdiction of General Dai Tianye and local officials. I hereby express my gratitude!"
The little eunuch in the courtyard held the imperial edict in his hand and read out the contents of the edict in his hand while shaking his head.
After finally listening to the little eunuch's words, Wang Lin expressed his gratitude with a bitter face: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
After all, I have seen the content of this imperial edict more than once. In the past few days alone, such an edict came almost once a day. It's just that Wang Lin found someone to make excuses a few times before.
For example, I am busy with official duties and cannot get away from work, and so on.
But now, the imperial decree in the hands of the little eunuch in front of him was obviously well prepared. Directly ask Wang Lin to hand over the matters at hand to Dai Tianye and ask him to return to Beijing quickly.
In fact, it's not that Wang Lin doesn't want to return to Beijing.
Even when he received the imperial edict before, he was relatively happy. After all, with this imperial edict, as long as he handles the work at hand, he can return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit.
By then, life in the capital will naturally be many times better than in the army, and I will no longer have to suffer the hardships of the frontier here.
However, it wasn't until his good brother Wang Chen sent a lot of precious aphrodisiac medicinal materials, saying that he wanted to replenish Wang Lin's body, that Wang Lin recalled what he had thought about himself in the beginning. The fear of a good brother.
To be precise, it is the fear of sowing.
My brother was too weak to have children, so he had wanted to do it for him and leave heirs for the royal family.
Recalling the gentle and charming face of the imperial sister-in-law Murong Wan, Wang Lin immediately got goosebumps all over her body.
Although I have always had a high pursuit of female sex, for a role like the emperor's wife, I really don't like it!
I can't do it!
After the little eunuch on the side finished announcing the decree, he quickly stepped forward, handed the decree to Wang Lin in front of him, and reminded him in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, please let Xiao Xiao say something that shouldn't be said. The Holy Emperor has issued decrees one after another in the past few days, but Your Majesty has always said that he is busy with official duties."
"Recently, the court has been gossiping about the prince. If we find another opportunity to shirk it, I'm afraid..."
The little eunuch did not say anything, but gave Wang Lin some room for imagination.
Wang Lin smiled at the little eunuch in front of him: "I know, let's go down."
But this smile is a forced smile.
How could he not know that although Li Zhang fell, there were still many of his remnants in the court. These remnants do not belong to his and Wang Chen's faction, but they still have some influence in the government and the opposition, so it is impossible to eliminate them directly.
At the same time, these people undoubtedly have a deep hatred for Wang Lin.
Now that they have returned with a great victory, they will definitely make a fuss about themselves.
Therefore, forced by this helplessness, Wang Lin could only return to the capital with the Su family brothers and sisters after making rough arrangements.
…
Five days later, Yangxin Hall.
Before it was time for the morning court, Wang Lin came to the palace where Wang Chen was resting as before.
At this time, Wang Lin had just arrived in the capital, and his whole body felt a little dusty.
And when Wang Chen saw his younger brother Wang Lin, who had been away for many days, standing in front of him again, a smile appeared on his somewhat weak face.
"Brother Lin, this time you have established heavenly skills for me, Daxia!"
Wang Chen opened his arms and asked the maids around him to put on the dragon robe for the next morning court, and said excitedly to Wang Lin in front of him.
"My brother is incompetent. The emperor gave me the power to supervise the country, but I haven't returned home for a long time because of the war. It's really..."
Wang Lin's words came from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, he looked at Wang Chen in front of him, although his spirit was much better than before. But judging from his face, Wang Chen, who was already a little weak, now looks even more pale.
This should all be caused by Wang Chen personally handling state affairs during his absence.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Wang Lin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Although he defeated the Hu army and achieved unparalleled heavenly merit.
But during those days when I was away, there were a few days later that I deliberately delayed my return to Beijing because I didn't want to sow seeds.
Now looking at his imperial brother's face in this world, Wang Lin thought to himself.
Could it be that I am overthinking it? Maybe those precious medicinal materials sent by Wang Chen before were really just to replenish my body and had no other meaning.
But next, Wang Chen made a move that directly broke Wang Lin's fantasy.
After Wang Chen put on the dragon robe that he would use when going to court, he said to the palace maids and eunuchs on the side: "You guys go down first, Prince Lin and I have something to say."
The surrounding maids and eunuchs saw this and responded one after another.
"yes."
Wang Lin was suddenly startled, and she already knew something was wrong.
It was not long before the morning court. Wang Chen wanted to have a private conversation with him at this time, and it was definitely not for some important matter.
so……
"Brother Lin, how have you considered the matter between you and the emperor's wife that I told you last time?"
Sure enough, not long after the eunuchs and maids on both sides walked out, Wang Chen suddenly asked.
Although he was prepared for this sentence, Wang Lin still had a wry smile on his face.
Wang Chen looked at Wang Lin's expression, as if he had expected it, and said to himself.
"I also know what you are thinking. Although you deceived the ministers last time by relying on the chicken blood in the pig's bladder, after all, someone must inherit this huge empire."
"Brother Lin, can't you be considerate of me?"
Wang Chen's words were all sincere.
And judging from his previous attitude towards him, Wang Lin is almost certain that even if he really agrees to borrow seeds to have children, he is afraid that his royal brother will not do anything to him after he succeeds.
On the contrary, it is possible that he is truly grateful to himself at this time.
To marry the empress Yun Yu of the world, this is the romantic dream that many men in the world think about day and night but dare not say out loud.
But at this time, in Wang Lin's eyes, this dream was like a nightmare, haunting him.
So at this time, he had no choice but to smile and say to Wang Chen in front of him.
"Brother Imperial, it's almost time for the morning court. Let's make a final decision after the morning court."
