Seeing that the other party had also followed him, Lin Cheng was speechless for a while.
no way!
After all, this was her home court, so he had no choice but to salute her and say, "I have met Princess Yunzhi."
Princess Yunzhi was quite satisfied with Lin Cheng's attitude, then jumped up and down in front of the emperor and said coquettishly: "Father, my daughter has not seen you for a long time."
"You girl!"
The emperor reluctantly patted Princess Yunzhi's head and said helplessly: "Every time you come to see me, I have a headache for a long time."
"Father, you are talking nonsense. You just hate Yunzhi."
Yunzhi held the emperor's arm and shook it dissatisfiedly.
"Zhi'er, stop messing around!"
The woman in phoenix clothes sitting on the right frowned and said reproachfully: "Your father has business to attend to. Please wait for a while and sit down here."
Princess Yunzhi shook her head.
She looked at the emperor longingly and said, "I don't want to sit next to my mother, I want to sit next to my father."
"Okay, okay."
The emperor had no choice but to let Yunzhi sit on the side of the dragon chair and said to the woman in phoenix clothes: "Queen, take a look. If Yunzhi were a man, I would have to give up my throne to her."
The face of the woman in phoenix clothes changed.
She stood up quickly and confessed immediately: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will let Yunzhi learn the rules after I go down."
"ah?"
Yunzhi was stunned.
The emperor shook his head and patted the cloud branch again: "Your mother is joking! Look how frightened you are."
While talking.
He set his sights on Lin Cheng and said in a low voice: "Lin Cheng, I heard about what you did in Huazhou. I will mark your great achievements. Tell me, what do you want?"
Everyone in the hall looked at Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng glanced at the emperor cautiously, then casually glanced at Yunyao, only to see the other party looking at him expressionlessly.
"It's a humble job. You don't think about what you want to get before doing things."
Lin Cheng thought for a while and felt confident, so he continued: "When I was outside Huazhou City, I encountered several groups of bandits and robbers. They bullied the people for many years with their ferocity and did not take the government seriously. It is lawless not to take the imperial court seriously! Therefore, I must remove this cancer for the people and the imperial court."
"Well, you did the right thing."
The emperor nodded and said, "If you have such courage and ability, the imperial court will definitely not let you fall into disrepute."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Cheng quickly thanked him.
"emperor."
Concubine Duan Guifei, who was sitting aside, spoke. She looked at Lin Cheng and continued: "Guard Lin is brave and resourceful. If the emperor wants to train him, I heard that there is a shortage of a lieutenant in the defense of Kyoto."
"My beloved concubine is well-informed!"
The emperor glanced at the imperial concubine and said: "These days, many people in the court have written to me to recommend the candidate for deputy general. Lin Cheng is also qualified."
Although the defense of Kyoto is only of the fourth rank.
But he is a general with real power, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of people, no less than a third-grade general who guards the border.
"This is inappropriate."
The queen suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?"
The emperor looked at the queen and said calmly: "I think Concubine Duan is right. Lin Cheng is brave and resourceful, and in time he will definitely become a general of the imperial court. Unless the queen has better arrangements!"
"This is what I think."
The queen, who was wearing a phoenix uniform, glanced at Lin Cheng and said, "This deputy general who defends the city is a good man. If many people in the court want to promote one of their own to the throne, Lin Cheng's helplessness will probably make people dissatisfied. Yi Chen I think it’s better to arrange Lin Cheng in the court first and then start slowly.”
Concubine Duan glanced at the queen and said nothing.
Yunyao lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Princess Yunzhi sat next to the emperor, looking around as if watching the excitement.
this moment.
Lin Chengcai sensed the fight between Concubine Duan and the Queen.
The imperial concubine planned to place him in a position of real power, but the queen seemed not to want the deputy general position to be taken by herself.
"Lin Cheng."
The emperor shouted.
"exist."
Lin Cheng quickly calmed down.
The emperor's eyes swept across the faces of the two concubines and stopped on Lin Cheng: "Do you want to be a deputy general, or do you want to serve in the court?"
Lin Cheng felt that eyes were focused on him again.
He didn't hesitate for a moment and said immediately: "In this humble position, I will listen to the emperor."
Before the emperor could speak, Princess Yunzhi on the side spoke.
She looked at Lin Cheng and suddenly said to the emperor: "Father, why don't you let him be your daughter's bodyguard?"
As soon as these words came out.
There was silence.
"Nonsense!"
The emperor patted the table and said angrily: "Lin Cheng has made great contributions to the court this time. If I let him serve as your bodyguard, someone in the court will poke me in the back."
Princess Yunzhi stuck out her tongue.
Seeing this, the queen sighed helplessly... Why did she end up with such a daughter?
She originally planned to destroy Concubine Duan's plan and let Lin Cheng become an ordinary official in the court.
But my daughter actually asked someone to be a bodyguard. If word of this got out, all the officials in the court would think that she was confused and the jewel would be covered in dust!
have no choice.
She had to adjust her strategy.
After waiting for a moment, she slowly suggested: "It's definitely not possible to let Lin Cheng be a bodyguard. If word spreads, I'm afraid everyone in the world will feel that the imperial court is not suitable for talents."
"How about this."
She looked at Lin Cheng and said slowly: "You are a warrior and I am afraid that if you are placed in the court, you will become rusty. Why don't you become a commander and lead the official guard? The official position is also fourth grade."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's heart sank.
This official guard belongs to the emperor's eyesight and specializes in supervising all officials.
It is also the real power department.
However, in recent years, the official guards have been no longer as good as they used to be, and they are no more than decorations.
"That's not bad!"
The emperor nodded, then looked at Concubine Duan: "My beloved concubine, what do you think of the queen's arrangement?"
"Listen to the Queen."
Concubine Duan Guifei saw that she could not arrange Lin Cheng to be the deputy general of the city defense, so she was a little frustrated.
"inappropriate!"
Yunyao suddenly stood up and was no longer silent.
She looked at the emperor and said respectfully: "Father, it is not suitable for Lin Cheng to lead official guards. Lin Cheng is very aggressive and might hurt the officials. My daughter suggested that Lin Cheng be placed in Zhenjiang Mansion as a commanding officer responsible for supervision. Jianghu forces."
Hear the words.
Only then did the emperor remember Lin Cheng's deeds.
Suppressed the Jianghu forces in Huazhou and killed many people.
The arrogant Jianghu people will be governed in a submissive manner.
If Lin Cheng is placed in the official guard, most of the officials in the court will be captured if he doesn't become murderous.
As an emperor, he is very aware of the division of power within the court.
He had finally managed to keep all the forces in balance, and at this time he was most afraid of someone disrupting the internal structure.
"I also think Zhenjiang Prefecture is good!"
Princess Yunzhi, who was watching the excitement on the side, spoke. She looked at Lin Cheng and smiled: "I heard that some people in the world have called you the bloody hand of the imperial court. You have a very fierce reputation."
Lin Cheng was startled... Why haven't I heard of it?
The emperor was moved.
He could neither assign Lin Cheng to the position of deputy general who defended the city, nor could he assign him to lead the official guard.
If you look at it this way, Zhenjiang Prefecture is quite suitable!
And the two beloved concubines didn't have any objections... He looked at Lin Cheng and said, "I will order you to be the commander of Zhenjiang Mansion, and to be a fourth-rank official."

The system prompt also sounded immediately.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Lin Cheng quickly saluted and thanked him.
