Emperor Liang had his own ruler in his heart, which was not affected by external forces.
One side of this ruler is used to measure the person's threat to the imperial power, and the other side is used to measure the other person's value.
If the value is greater than the threat, you can continue to use it. If the threat is greater than the value, you will get rid of it without hesitation.
Emperor Liang didn't know how many times he had weighed Qin Feng inside and out. Every time he weighed it, Emperor Liang was shocked by Qin Feng's growth, but at the same time, Qin Feng's value was also impeccable.
Taking this national war as an example, Emperor Liang could not find anyone who could do better than the Qin family father and son.
As for Lin Taibao's thoughts, how could Emperor Liang not know? It was just an opportunity to trip up Qin Feng. In comparison, Emperor Liang hated Lin Taibao even more.
You must know that since the war broke out in the northern border, the Qin family has basically withdrawn its troops at the expense of the Lin family's party strife, and focused on the national war.
On the other hand, Lin Taibao knew that the war in the north was tense and the Daliang State was in danger. In order to suppress dissidents, he actually tried to harm the Qin family at this critical juncture.
This is no longer abominable, but a sin worthy of death!
Emperor Liang had already kept this account in his mind, and when the national war was over, he would naturally settle the matter with the Lin family, including the capital and profits.
But at the moment, not only is the northern border not suitable for changing generals on the spot, but stability must also be given priority in the main hall of the DPRK, and any conflicts must not be intensified.
Emperor Liang remained calm on the surface, and even smiled at Taibao Lin.
"The Taibao is really worried about Daliang. I am very relieved. The appointment of the governor is reasonable and reasonable. But Qin Shangshu is the minister who supervises the war, and Qin Qianhu is the special envoy to supervise the war. If the governor is appointed at this time, it will not be too complicated. Yes? As the saying goes, military orders are valuable and speed is important, and military orders must be concise and clear. If you declare them at different levels, it will definitely delay the opportunity to fight."
Having said this, Emperor Liang turned to look at Zhang Xiuye and said with a pleasant expression: "The Taibao have worked hard and made great achievements. For the war in the north, they are exhausted mentally and physically. They still need rewards and rewards. By the way, how much Yun brocade is left as tribute from the wealthy families in the south?"
Zhang Xiuye quickly replied: "Sage, Yun brocade is the best fabric in the palace. Only three thousand pieces of Yun brocade are paid as tribute every year. The rewards have been distributed to the nobles in the harem. At the beginning of the month, when I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the accounts, I found that only... …one foot.”
Emperor Liang nodded with a smile on his face.
"Let's take it one foot at a time. After all, this Yun brocade is extremely valuable. There is a saying that every inch of brocade is gold. Moreover, there is only so much produced every year. All of it is paid as tribute to the palace. People outside can't buy it even if they have money." Give this foot of cloud brocade to Lin Taibao as a reward."
After the explanation, Emperor Liang immediately announced his resignation, stood up and left the hall.
When Lin Taibao left the palace gate, Zhang Xiuye caught up with him and handed the wrapped one-foot cloud brocade to Lin Taibao.
Lin Taibao said a few thanks and returned home proudly with Yun Jin in his arms.
Within an hour, the matter reached the harem, and the eldest princess went directly to the imperial concubine's chamber to congratulate her in person.
"I heard that at the court meeting today, the saint praised the Taibao Lord in person and rewarded him with a foot of cloud brocade? That cloud brocade is a fabric specially used by the royal family. Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the number of people who have been rewarded with cloud brocade can be counted on one hand. This shows how much the saint values the Taibao Lord."
The imperial concubine smiled brightly and responded in a soft voice: "It's not a big deal, so I'd like to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to go there in person, hahaha, but having said that, it's my blessing, Lin, that the saint can value Taibao so highly. From generation to generation, I, the Lin family, will dedicate myself to Daliang until death."
The maid who had just been promoted by the imperial concubine had long known that the imperial concubine and the eldest princess would not deal with each other. When she saw the eldest princess coming to congratulate her, her little face suddenly turned to the sky.
In order to make the imperial concubine look good, he immediately added in a low voice: "The Taibao has dedicated his life to Daliang, how can he be compared to others?"
"Sages naturally know who is near and who is far, and who is close to whom."
The maid's words naturally reflected the eldest princess' ambition and destroyed the eldest princess's prestige, implying that the eldest princess had made a wrong bet and should not have poured all her chips into Qin Feng.
Today the saint rewarded him with a foot of cloud brocade, which is enough to prove that in the saint's heart, Qin Feng will never be qualified to be compared with Lin Taibao.
Even a little maid was so arrogant. The eldest princess's face turned ugly for a while, and she bowed in anger.
"Now that you are happy, I will no longer bother Your Highness."
After saying that, the eldest princess left with a gloomy face.
When leaving the palace gate, Princess Qiyang was guarding the door. Seeing the ugly look on the eldest princess's face, she thought she had suffered a loss. She was about to say a few words of comfort, but she saw the eldest princess's expression changed 180 degrees, from gloomy and depressed, to that in the blink of an eye. Became delighted and proud.
"That little maid really got into my heart."
"Yes, in the hearts of saints, it is clear who is far and who is near."
This was the first time since the eldest princess entered the harem that she was so happy. When she returned to the palace, she walked much more briskly.
At the same time, the concubine's face, which was full of pride, suddenly fell.
He slapped the maid on the face with his backhand.
"You talkative little slave, you still think I'm not embarrassed enough?!"
The maid was stunned by the slap, and she knelt on the ground shivering, covering her red and swollen face, and tears kept falling.
I was murmuring in my heart, Her Royal Highness was obviously very proud just now, why did she become so angry when she turned her face away?
Isn't it something that the saint should be happy about when he rewarded Lin Taibao with a foot of cloud brocade?
The imperial concubine stared at the maid fiercely and gritted her teeth: "That Yun Brocade is for the exclusive use of the royal family. Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, how many good endings have there been for those who have been rewarded with Yun Brocade? Yun Brocade is the ultimatum of the saint. If the Taibao continues to push the envelope, he will be rewarded with one today. If you have one foot of cloud brocade, you can reward him with three feet of white silk tomorrow!
"You bitch slave, you don't even understand this, how are you qualified to do things for me? Come here, drag this bitch slave out and slap him. You won't stop until I tell you to stop!"
The imperial concubine ignored the maid's hysterical wails for mercy and rubbed her aching temples.
The seemingly insignificant playboy in the past has now grown to the point where everyone is afraid of him. Faced with the Qin family and the Lin family, the saint chose the Qin family without hesitation.
If this continues, one day the saint will completely ignore Lin.
When that day comes, Qin Feng's grudge for being demoted back to his ancestral land will inevitably be avenged based on Qin Feng's behavior.
Once the Qin family takes action in Kyoto, this internal war will have nothing to do with the saints, but will purely be a festival between the Qin and Lin families.
If the Jiangnan Lin family acted rashly, Beixi County would probably send people to attack them directly.
If the Qin family is not prevented from continuing to grow, Lin will die slowly.
However, if the Qin family is stopped, the core interests of the saint will be touched, and the entire Daliang community will be ignored.
It’s simply difficult!
The imperial concubine dragged her forehead, her eyes filled with melancholy. It was the first time in her life that she felt so powerless...
