The main gate behind the Imperial City finally opened slowly after three gongs.

Wang Gong Jiuqing's civil and military officials rushed in, and Lin Ji finally saw the big hall in front of him again, with a yellow roof and red walls, and the yellow glazed tile roof on both wings gradually falling, the big hall seemed to be built on top of a giant dragon, so it was not magnificent and magnificent.

Chen Sheng, the nominal leader of the civil officials, walked on the right, the military general Gu Tang was on the left, and Wei Shuyang followed Gu Tang's footsteps closely, one step behind him.

Lin Ji walked in the crowd, like a flat boat being thrown into the sea at random, slowly moving forward in the crowd, but no one approached him, forming a vacuum around Lin Ji. But Lin Ji didn't care.

Lin Ji has been looking down, silently counting the steps, when the vision of the brilliant dragon wall, about to start to climb the steps, one foot on the white jade steps, gently looking back, crowded, jade hit jade, shoes stepped on shoes, sound. His figure froze slightly, and the entire marching team behind him took a step back at this time, and countless heads were scurrying behind Lin Ji, but no one dared to say how impolite his Lin Ji's approach was, Lin Ji turned around and stepped on the stone steps and ascended to the hall.

Set up the dragon chair throne in the hall, the front of the hall is the Dan Majesty, there are four kinds of heavy instruments of the copper turtle and the bronze crane sundial Jialiang, and there are eighteen tripods on the upper and lower terraces. When the ministers who are qualified to enter the palace are in place, and those who have positions and status stand at the entrance of the palace, they are not qualified to enter the palace.

Lin Jizu, the son of heaven in a yellow dragon robe, finally appeared, and several young princes also gently walked into the hall, according to the old practice, at this time, the eunuch opened the early court etiquette, and hundreds of officials inside and outside the hall knelt down to see the emperor, and the emperor sat down, everything was carried out step by step.

More than 1,000 people inside and outside the hall slowly knelt down after the eunuch spoke, and the tide quickly surged from south to north.

Not to mention the courtiers who were not allowed to see the dragon face of the Son of Heaven in the square, after more than 300 courtiers knelt down on the Danqi in the wide hall, they could only see the emperor's feet on the dragon chair.

At this time, Lin Ji was standing at the outermost end of the main hall, looking at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor from afar.

The emperor's "Zhong Aiqing is flat" interrupted Lin Ji's thoughts.

One after another, the decrees were issued.

Looking at the faces of those civil and military officials, I knew that it would soon be a violent shaking of the government and the opposition.

The first holy decree was to praise the merits of the martial marquis Lin Jinrong and posthumously confer Lin Jinrong's title, Lin Ji knew that this was just a cliché, so he didn't even remember what the title was.

The second holy decree, "Lin Jinrong's son Lin Ji is hereditary, inherits the title of Marquis Wu, and commands Canghai City and 300,000 Lin family troops." ”

In the eyes of the courtiers, this is of course a foregone conclusion, and in order to appease the Lin family's army, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

And the third holy decree shook the entire court, "Promote Gu Tang, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and lead the whole ** team to resist the ghost clan." ”

At this point, Gu Tang stood and looked back, and there happened to be a person looking up.

first let Lin Ji hereditary and lead the Lin family's army, and then directly threw him a generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he still needs to be controlled, it seems that the emperor's grace in Canghai City is undiminished, but he has lost the ability to govern himself in reputation.

On the dragon chair, the emperor took in everything and looked playful.

Gently retreat with nothing to do.

There is nothing to do in the palace, and the entire imperial dynasty is already in a storm. These two holy decrees, which were enough to make the capital talk about for a few months and a half, became a foregone conclusion in the discussion of everyone.

People come and disperse quickly.

Several Shangshu adults were surrounded by a few good adults, and walked towards the outside of the imperial city.

Lin Ji was not in a hurry, and after the crowd gradually thinned, he slowly walked out of the main hall.

This trip to Zhongjing seems to have gone much smoother than he imagined.

did not imagine coercion, intimidation, or pretending to persuade step by step, but in this tepid way, Lin Ji knew the current situation of Canghai City in the empire, which made Lin Ji feel very good.

It's a lot better than being seen as a joke.

Unknowingly, Lin Jinian fell behind everyone, and after stepping out of the threshold of the main hall, he stood at the top of the steps and stopped. When I looked up, many people turned their heads to look at themselves standing on the steps.

Lin Ji ignored those lively eyes, and said to himself with a smile: "Dad, my son finally understands why every time you come to Zhongjing, you are a little unhappy." ”

Lin Ji walked down the steps, looked back at the eaves of the main hall, and sighed softly, this time I came to the imperial city I don't know when I will be able to come here again next time.

There were several eunuchs in the square back and forth, cleaning the ground, but they saw the figure of a unicorn-robed general standing in the center of the square actually stopped there and no longer walked forward.

They retreated a little further in their senses, and seemed to feel a suffocating atmosphere permeating the square, but they didn't know why.

Lin Ji looked at the unicorn robe in the empty square, obviously waiting for him, many officials deliberately stayed away, they knew that there must be a dispute between the two, just waiting to see a good show.

After the death of Wuhou Lin Jinrong, if there was one person in the Han Empire who could be qualified for the position of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, it was only Gu Tang alone, so everyone felt that it was logical and not abrupt. It was only at this point in time that His Majesty's intentions seemed obvious.

People who understand it have already noticed that the emperor's suspicion of Lin Ji has long been overflowing, and at this time, Lin Jinrong has just died, which is a good time to take back the Lin family's military power, so Gu Tang, who was pushed to this position, naturally became the opposite of Lin Ji.

Lin Ji silently approached the middle-aged general with a heavy killing aura on his body, and the two walked side by side under the wall.

Lin Ji had nothing to say, but he still felt that he should say something.

"Congratulations to General Gu for becoming the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and commanding the world's soldiers and horses. ”

Gu Tang said gently: "It's just a nice name, except for the Zhenxi Army, which army in this world can obey my arrangement?"

Lin Ji couldn't deny it and laughed it off.

Gu Tang walked forward in silence, and after a long time, he finally said indifferently: "Do a good job as a martial prince, and have the confidence to do a good job in Wuhou?"

Lin Ji asked in surprise: "If you can't do it well, will it be difficult for you to do it?"

Gu Tang turned his head to look at this newly promoted martial marquis, who had not had much intersection, and said with a smile: "Your temperament and temper are indeed like Hou Ye." ”

"So General Gu is very familiar with his father?"

"I've dealt with him a few times, but I still know his temper, and in Canghai City, this reckless border place, only he can manage. ”

Lin Ji scoffed, and didn't want to delve into what Gu Tang had to say.

"Canghai City is my Lin family's family affair, so the generalissimo will not be too distracted. ”

"You may have forgotten that your 300,000 Lin family troops are also nominally subject to my control. Gu Tang smiled lowly, but Lin Ji still heard a hint of ridicule.

Although in the eyes of everyone, the two of them were already enemies of life and death after the promulgation of the holy decree of the court, Lin Ji was very bright and calm, and said calmly: "I actually have no hostility towards the generalissimo, but at this point, I simply broke the words." Since there is a battle between you and me, it is better to have it as soon as possible, because I am afraid that I will not have time to accompany you in the end. ”

Gu Tang's body trembled slightly after hearing Lin Ji's words, and then he was silent for a long time: "Should I say that you are better to be above board, or arrogant." ”

"I think it's better to be arrogant. ”

"Why?"

"Because, at least it seems to you that I still have the ability to be arrogant. ”

"Without the suppression of the Hou Ye, Da Mang will almost have to go south, and when the time comes, he will be attacked by the enemy, just wait for all the money he has saved to be exhausted. ”

Gu Tang, who was not smiling, seemed to have more words today: "Canghai City is still Your Majesty's after all, and Master Hou didn't understand this in the end, but you have to understand, as long as you understand this, there will be no battle between the two of us." ”

Lin Ji's fingers touched the slightly cool wall, then suddenly raised his head, and said calmly and surely: "There are many inevitable things in the world, of course, this one is also counted." Generalissimo, I am waiting for you. ”

Gu Tang smiled, not surprised, and turned to leave.
