Chapter 1126: You're My Follower
"Empress Yingming, you are really the wisest monarch in the history of Xiangxiang Country." Lin Tian hurriedly shouted.
The apology of Father-in-law Kui, the dead eunuch, is not uncommon, but he is still very willing to accept this thousand taels of silver.
Father-in-law Kwai only felt a pain in his flesh, this was not a few taels of broken silver, but a whole thousand taels, but Her Majesty the Empress had already made a will, and he didn't dare to say more, knelt on the ground and said: "The old slave obeys the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Empress Shuixiang nodded slightly, and then said: "Okay, this matter has been decided, I hope that the two Aiqing can cooperate sincerely in the future, and don't be distracted." ”
Lin Tian smiled slightly, naturally, how could he not get along with an old eunuch?
"The old slave understands." Aoi nodded, then walked up and stood respectfully beside the empress.
"Lin Tian, I summoned you today to crown you as the commander of Beiyuan, just now my royal sister Prime Minister Shui Ya has already said a lot of good things for you, and no one from the other ministers objected, so you will become the first male military attache in my Xiangxiang Country." The Empress of Water Fragrance said.
"It is a great honor for you to receive this great favor." Lin Tian clenched his fists and said, but his eyes glanced at Shui Ya, the right prime minister not far away, and suddenly he didn't understand, just now outside the hall, he slapped this Shui Ya more than a dozen times, not only did she not sue the empress to kill him, but she also said good things for him?
How is this possible?
No matter what, Lin Tian felt that Shui Ya was attentive and diligent, either a traitor or a thief.
It's better to be careful.
Immediately, Father-in-law Kwai loudly announced the holy decree and gave Lin Tian the official title of Sanpin. Enter the North Garden to take charge of the commander's seal and guard the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the imperial city. And announced this matter to the world, showing the empress's thirst for talent.
He received the decree and the seal. There are also a thousand taels of white eyes of Father-in-law Kui, Lin Tianmei walked out of the Linfeng Palace, and at the door, he met the right prime minister Shui Ya who was dressed as a man.
"The lower officials have seen the prime minister." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Commander Lin is polite." Shui Ya smiled lightly and said: "Xuanwu Gate is an important place in the imperial city, I hope that Commander Lin will guard it day and night, otherwise there will be a trace of neglect." ”
"This is natural, and the lower officials should remember the teachings of the prime minister." Lin Tian nodded, then looked up at Shui Ya's still slightly red face. asked with concern: "Prime Minister, does your face still hurt?" ”
The muscles on Shui Ya's face twitched slightly, and she said, "It's okay." ”
Lin Tian took out a small bottle of plaster from the storage ring and said, "This is a plaster I developed, it has a miraculous effect on external injuries, if the prime minister doesn't mind, you can use it." ”
Shui Ya was slightly stunned, saw Lin Tian with suspicious eyes, and said in her heart. Why is this kid so good to me all of a sudden?
After hesitating for a moment, he still took the ointment in Lin Tian's hand.
"The lower official has resigned." Lin Tian arched his hand and strode away.
Shui Ya looked at the ointment in her hand, and looked at Lin Tian who was far away. Then a smug smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, "Interesting." ”
……
After returning to Beiyuan Mansion, Lin Tian had lunch. He called the housekeeper Ling Die over, since he was the commander of this Beiyuan. Naturally, I first had to inspect the barracks and first understand the general situation of my Beiyuan.
"General. What is the matter with me? Ling Die asked respectfully.
"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to inspect the barracks." Lin Tian said lightly.
Ling Die smiled faintly and said, "General, this Beiyuan Mansion is in the Beiyuan, and the Imperial Forest Army of Beiyuan is stationed at the back of the mansion, as long as you pass through the back door, you can reach it." ”
Lin Tian smacked his tongue, it turned out to be such an aspect, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, lead the way." ”
Ling Die looked surprised and said, "General, are you going in civilian clothes?" You'd better wear armor, right? ”
"Why do you have to wear armor when inspecting the barracks?"
"It's the rule."
"Who decides?"
"Commander Pang who took office."
"Now that I'm the commander, this rule has been lifted, okay, let's go."
Ling Die's face twitched, and then she reluctantly led the way in front.
Of course, wherever Lin Tian went, Shi Qinghan and Caiyu followed him, one for protection, and the other for surveillance.
On the way to the Beiyuan military camp, Lin Tian asked, "How many people are in the Imperial Forest Army in this imperial city?" ”
Ling Die hurriedly said respectfully: "The Imperial Forest Army is the most powerful army in the Xiangxiang Kingdom, divided into four parts, stationed in the four branches of the east, west, north and south, and led by the four commanders to protect the four gates of the imperial city, namely the Qinglong Gate, the White Tiger Gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate and the Xuanwu Gate...... Each commander has 20,000 Imperial Forest troops in his hands, and Her Majesty is directly in charge...... However, due to the ongoing war with the Southern Yan Kingdom, the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial City is now almost half reduced. ”
"They've all been transferred to war?" Lin Tian asked.
"Yes." Ling Die continued: "Prime Minister Zuo is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, this time she personally led the army to resist the invasion of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and Her Majesty the Empress also specially approved 40,000 imperial forest troops to follow Prime Minister Zuo on the expedition. ”
Lin Tian nodded slightly, that is to say, there are only 40,000 guards in the Imperial City now, and there are only 10,000 in his Beiyuan.
"Haha...... Actually, it's the first time I've been a general, and I'm in charge of so many people, and they're all women, so I'm still quite excited. Lin Tian suddenly burst out laughing.
Qinghan crooked his mouth depressedly and said, "What are you proud of?" I tell you, if you can't stand even a city gate, let the assassins enter the palace and see how His Majesty will cut off your head. ”
Lin Tian turned around, glanced at Qinghan, and said with a smile: "Can you guard the city gate, this is a matter for General Ben, do you need to chirp crookedly?" ”
"What? You dare to say that I am an acolyte? Qing Han jumped straight and shouted at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Yes, you guys follow me all day long, even when you go to the thatched house, what is it if you are not a follower?" Therefore, you still curse me for having an accident sooner, so that I will be beheaded by the empress, and you will be free. ”
"Don't wait that long, I'll cut you right now." As he spoke, Qing Han pulled out the long sword at his waist, raised it high and slashed at Lin Tian's neck.
With a clanging sound, Caiyu took out her sword in time to block Qing Han's attack, and said angrily: "Qing Han, don't be rude, General Lin is now a third-grade master, how can you do anything to him?" It's simply the following offense. ”
In the past, when Lin Tian was a grass citizen, Qing Han spoke ill of him, but now Lin Tian has an official position, and he is several official ranks higher than their sword history, so naturally he can't be unreasonable anymore.
"But he said I was an attendant." Qing Hanqi scolded.
"We are slaves, and we were originally the master's followers, I don't think General Lin was wrong." Caiyu said: "Okay, put the sword away, and you are not allowed to be unreasonable to General Lin in the future." (To be continued......)
