At this moment, not only Lin Ye was waiting at the gate of Fengyuan, but Li Xiang, the governor of Yezhou, was also there.
After the general entered Fengyuan, Li Xiang moved over with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
He smiled and said, "General Lin, what a coincidence."
Lin Ye glanced at him: "Master Li, it's so early."
Li Xiang said: "I'm very curious about something, and I really can't help it. If I ask, can you not criticize me?"
Lin Ye: "Okay."
Li Xiang: "How did you guess that?"
Lin Ye looked at Li Xiang again, then shook his head and said, "I didn't guess that."
Li Xiang: "You didn't guess that the emperor was coming, not that the city was prepared. I'm asking about the latter."
Lin Ye: "Because of you."
Li Xiang: "Why? Did I expose some flaws?"
Lin Ye said: "As soon as Mr. Li entered the city, he spared no effort to introduce Junye City to us, and he kept persuading us to have a good time."
Li Xiang was silent for a moment and sighed: "It turns out that the enthusiasm was too much."
Lin Ye: "Enthusiasm?"
Li Xiang smiled: "It's true that it's not all enthusiasm. If you, General Lin, go out and have fun, then of course those assassins will be exposed more easily."
Lin Ye moved a few steps to the side.
Li Xiang: "General Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Ye didn't answer.
But after taking a few steps, it was already an answer. I just wanted to be farther away from you. Can't you see it yourself? Do you still have the nerve to ask?
This kind of arrangement cannot be ordered by the emperor himself. The emperor has not yet reached that point of idleness. After lowering his status to countless levels, he personally dispatches and directs the arrest of several spies and assassins.
Because this kind of thing is really far from his identity.
If the command is done properly and things are done well, what good will it do to the emperor?
It was nothing more than a few flattery words from his ministers, and he had already heard those flattery words 86,000 times and was already tired of them.
But if this matter is not directed well and something goes wrong, wouldn't it be possible for those guys to talk nonsense in private?
An extra important rule of thumb for staying aloft is...don't just come down.
This matter was not planned by the emperor, nor could it be a local official like Li Xiang.
The emperor is too high and Li Xiang is too low.
So Li Xiang kept persuading Lin Ye and the others to go out for fun to lure out assassins and spies, just because he wanted to make meritorious deeds on his own and show off well in front of the emperor.
Of course Lin Ye had to stay away from him.
Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, Li Xiang couldn't help but said helplessly: "The emperor came to Junye City half a month ago. This place has already been built with iron walls. If General Lin thinks that I want to gain credit by letting you be a bait, then Lin The general is wrong."
Lin Ye still ignored him.
Li Xiang said: "The emperor wants to see you tonight. If you die, can I get away with it?"
Lin Ye still ignored him.
Because how could Li Xiang know that the emperor wanted to see Lin Ye tonight.
Again, the emperor is too high and Li Xiang is too low.
As Li Xiangzheng was talking, a young man wearing brocade clothes came out. His face looked a little pale, but he was very energetic. His whiteness was not sickly white.
This man had a particularly distinctive appearance. Although he was wearing men's clothing, his face really made people indistinguishable between male and female.
If he puts on women's clothes, 90% of the women in the world will probably not be as beautiful as him.
Lin Ye naturally didn't know this person, but Li Xiang did.
As soon as the young man went out, Li Xiang leaned over and said, "I've met Manager Gu."
Lin Ye didn't know him, but he knew who it was when he heard the name Manager Gu.
There are two people who are most favored by people today, one is Concubine Wan Gui of the harem, and the other is Gu Xiujin, the eunuch of the imperial study.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
Gu Xiujin greeted Li Xiang politely
, then looked at Lin Ye: "Is this General Lin Yelin, the general of Yunzhou Qibingying?"
Lin Ye replied: "Exactly."
Gu Xiujin smiled and said: "General Lin, come in with me. The steps should be gentle. Saints don't like noise very much."
There is no doubt that this is not just a reminder, but also a gesture of goodwill.
As the eunuch Bingbi of the imperial study, a close minister of the emperor, and even the first-rank officials in the court were polite to him, why did he show his kindness to a marginal person like Lin Ye? Something doesn't seem right about this.
So even Li Xiang was a little surprised.
Lin Ye saluted and thanked him again, and then followed Gu Xiujin through the door.
Gu Xiujin said in a gentle tone as he walked: "The saint should have gone to bed long ago and waited until tomorrow morning to talk about everything. But when the saint heard that General Lin had arrived today, he went to bed late and waited to see General Lin. .”
Only those who are particularly close to Emperor Jade will call him a saint.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not even be called the Left Prime Minister Wan Yulou in this way.
Gu Xiujin said: "When you meet a saint, you must understand the rules and etiquette. When speaking, try not to look up at the saint."
Lin Ye replied: "I know."
Gu Xiujin: "General Lin is really only fifteen years old?"
Lin Ye said: "Yes."
Gu Xiujin couldn't help but admired: "Young and promising, I have heard about people like General Lin from ancient legends and stories. Today I saw a real one, and I am very happy."
After passing through the layers of buildings in the front yard of Fengyuan, the huge garden in the backyard appears in front of you.
It's just that it's a bit dark, so I can't see clearly what Fengyuan, which is rumored to be majestic and beautiful inside, looks like.
This also made Lin Ye curious, since the emperor lives in Fengyuan, why aren't there more lights in Fengyuan?
As if sensing what Lin Ye was thinking, Gu Xiujin explained softly.
"The sage said that everything is the way of nature. It is dark and it is dawn. The sage governs the world according to the way of heaven. Therefore, what should be black is black, and what should be white is white. Black and white are distinct in the way of heaven. , but also in people’s hearts.”
Lin Ye was slightly startled. He was not sure for a moment whether Gu Xiujin's last words were reminding him of something.
Arriving in front of a row of thatched huts, Gu Xiujin asked Lin Ye to stop and wait.
Here, Lin Ye felt that the inner energy in his body began to stir again, and there were actually some signs that the Little Zhou Tian Divine Technique was about to fall off the planet.
Lin Ye quickly took a deep breath to suppress this restlessness.
This kind of restlessness was stronger than when he arrived at Tianshui Cliff, so there must be some masters from Shangyang Palace in this seemingly inconspicuous hut.
Lin Ye is as smart and scheming as someone with decades of experience.
But he still couldn't guess that the emperor was actually in Junye City, seven hundred miles away from Yunzhou.
So...the Snow Dragon Heart seems to be too important to the Emperor.
Except for life and death, other matters are not important if the emperor can move him.
This hut should be the most inconspicuous and simple place in the entire Fengyuan, but the emperor chose to live here, which shows his character.
There were not many imperial guards outside the hut, so it can be inferred that the emperor may be accompanied by a super strong man in the God-endowed realm.
With such a strong man by his side, why are there so many palace guards on guard all around.
While thinking about this, Gu Xiujin came out of the hut and waved to Lin Ye: "General Lin, the saint is calling in."
Lin Ye arranged his clothes and stepped into the hut.
This hut was originally just a place to store tools and sundries in Fengyuan. It was only tidied up after the emperor arrived.
The furnishings in the room were extremely simple, with only a wooden table, a few chairs, and a wooden couch that didn't look very comfortable.
After Lin Ye entered the door, he should have saluted, but he seemed to have forgotten Gu Xiujin's reminder, and actually glanced at the emperor first.
The emperor dressed casually, wearing a long gown and nightgown
None of the buttons on his body were fastened. He was leaning on the couch and talking to the man sitting across from him.
When Lin Ye entered the door, the emperor also looked at Lin Ye.
The emperor looked a little unclear about his age. His face looked like he was in his thirties, but his hair was all white on his temples.
Lin Ye had imagined what this face would look like countless times.
But when I actually saw it, I realized that it was different from the countless ones in my imagination.
The Emperor has a lazy air about him, and his face is very bookish. He is not masculine, his face is feminine, but he is not weak or soft like a woman.
"Your Majesty, Lin Ye, General of Yunzhou Qibing Camp, pays homage to Your Majesty."
After Gu Xiujin coughed slightly, Lin Ye seemed to have reacted and leaned forward to salute.
The emperor smiled: "I have said before that Zhentian has a preference for people."
The man sitting opposite him, who looked about fifty years old, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty said so."
The emperor glanced at him and said, "You say yes to whatever I say, so let me tell you, Prime Minister, what is my preference?"
This man turned out to be the powerful minister of Dayu, Wan Yulou, the left prime minister, and the father of Concubine Wan Gui.
Wan Yu Lou said: "What your Majesty means is that General Lin is not only young and promising, but also courageous and courageous. He even has a first-rate figure and appearance. He is favored by the gods."
The emperor smiled and said: "General Lin, you can now thank the left prime minister for the compliment."
Lin Ye cupped his fists towards Wanyu Tower and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zuo Xiang."
According to the official system when Dayu founded the country, the imperial court established two prime ministers, the left and the right. However, when the emperor came to the throne and eliminated the prime minister who once had all the power in the government, the two prime ministers were never established again. It seemed that in his view, the two prime ministers were redundant.
The emperor asked: "Are you the adopted son of Liu Jigong, the former general of the Cowardly Army?"
Lin Ye replied: "He is not the adopted son of the general, but the adopted son of the general's wife."
The emperor hummed, seeming to be particularly satisfied with Lin Ye's answer.
The emperor asked again: "Mrs. Liu has passed away?"
Lin Ye replied: "Your Majesty, yes."
The emperor said: "I owe her."
These four words shocked Lin Ye's heart.
The emperor looked at Lin Ye carefully, and then said to Wanyulou: "Liu Jigong is full of loyal people. I didn't award the reward because I listened to the slander. When I think about it, I regret it every time."
Wan Yulou leaned over and said: "Fortunately, Zhentian has inherited the legacy of loyal ministers. Although General Lin is young now, he already has some of the demeanor of the great general back then."
The more Lin Ye listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
The Emperor said: "At the beginning, Liu Jigong helped the country and protected the country, so I granted him the title of Duke of another country. Unfortunately, several of his children also served the country loyally and died in the wilderness."
When he said this, he looked at Lin Ye: "But you are really young. Although you have military merit, you cannot inherit the position of Duke. So, you will wait for three people first."
Lin Ye leaned over and said, "I don't dare to receive such a generous reward from your majesty because I haven't done anything for it."
Wan Yu Lou said: "Your Majesty said you can do it, of course you can."
The emperor smiled and said: "Do you still have the military medal you got from killing the enemy? What else is that if it's not military merit?"
Lin Ye was shocked.
Compared to the emperor who loves enfeoffment the most, and to the many princes who have enfeoffed him, a third-level waiter is actually nothing.
But at this time, he gave Lin Ye the title of Marquis, which made things even more wrong.
The emperor asked Wanyulou: "How about just giving him the title of Chengyong?"
Wan Yulou leaned over: "It couldn't be more appropriate."
The emperor smiled and said: "Then pass on the message. The adopted son Lin Ye of Liu Jigong, the general of the cowardly army, is loyal and courageous, and has made many military exploits. I am very pleased. Jia Lin Ye has been promoted to the third rank of bravery, and has been promoted to the fourth rank. Taste."
Seeing that Lin Ye was in a daze, Gu Xiujin reminded him softly: "General Lin, thank you."
