Chapter 18: Reward

"Two of you, please come in, Your Majesty is invited!" After Zhang Lin and Tang Jie waited outside for ten minutes, the civil official finally reported and invited Zhang Lin and Tang Jie to go in! The place where the emperor lived was not so magnificent, everything was simple and extraordinary!

"Your Majesty, Count Tang Jie and Major Zhang Lin have arrived!"

"Let them in!" A majestic voice came from the main hall!

"See Your Majesty!" Zhang Lin performed a standard military salute, while Tang Jie bowed with a civilian salute. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Excuse me! And they came and gave them a seat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The four chamberlains carried two seats and put them behind Zhang Lin and Tang Jie, His Majesty the Emperor motioned for them to sit down, and behind them was a group of civil and military generals, Zhang Lin sat at the front of the military attachés, making the group of high-ranking lords a little unbearable, watching Zhang Lin blow his beard and glare, but they were all ignored by Zhang Lin!

After Zhang Lin sat down, his posture was upright, looking at the supreme ruler of the empire, a man in his forties, his face looked more resolute under the carving of the years, his eyes were full of wisdom and majesty, with an unattainable temperament that he had been in a high position all year round.

"Zhang Lin has made great contributions to the empire, how should I reward him? Feel free to speak! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Major Zhang Lin has made great contributions to the empire and should be knighted......."

"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with Minister Li Jun's words, although Zhang Lin's merits are great, he is not as good as a descendant of Mengyin, just give him a promotion in the military department, the empire has no precedent for knighthood and promotion!" Old Reagan interrupted the Secretary of the Interior and preemptively voiced his opinion!

"Your Majesty, you should be knighted......."

"Your Majesty, you can't set this precedent......."

The entire council hall was chaotic into a vegetable market, and various officials and masters were discussing how Zhang Lin was rewarded, and the noise was non-stop! Zhang Lin also understood that several families began to fight for their own interests, the Reagan family and the Edward family did not agree to be knighted by themselves, and the opposite wanted Zhang Lin to be knighted!

"Enough!" His Majesty the Emperor interrupted the discussion of the ministers, "I don't know what Colonel Zhang Lin wants, I will give it to you!" ”

Zhang Lin stood up and saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is in charge of everything, and the ministers are in charge!" ”

The emperor was very satisfied with Zhang Lin's performance, and after his meritorious service, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he was not arrogant and arrogant, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Zhang Lin, and then said to Zhang Lin: "Okay, promote Zhang Lin to rear admiral, knight the third class earl, and give the earl's mansion!" Zhang Lin, do you have any objections? After the emperor finished rewarding Zhang Lin, he looked at Zhang Lin who was saluting him below and asked.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister feels that the reward is too heavy and dare not accept it!"

"I don't think it's enough, has Zhang Lin Aiqing ever been married?" The Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty Xie cares, and the minister has never been married."

The ministers in the main hall were confused at first, they didn't know what His Majesty was singing, they looked at each other, and didn't dare to speak!

The emperor was pondering, the ministers were waiting for his majesty to make what decision he would make, and Zhang Lin was also nervous in his heart, although his meritorious service was huge, this kind of reward was enough, His Majesty didn't speak, and Zhang Lin couldn't guess!

"I have decided to let the little princess marry you!" The emperor thought about it for a long time and made a decision that made Zhang Lin and the ministers stunned, Tang Jie was also very excited, but he restrained himself, Xiaoxue just had someone he liked, was it over like this?

"Your Majesty, please take back your fate, Zhang Lin doesn't dare to ask the little princess to marry, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" Zhang Lin remembered the figure in his heart.

The ministers also began to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to think twice, and this kind of thing should be considered in the long run.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, retreat from the dynasty!" The emperor was a little displeased and said to his ministers.

The ministers were helpless, and after saluting the emperor, they began to leave the council hall, and along the way, they whispered about something.

Zhang Lin was also a little helpless, but he couldn't change anything, just as Zhang Lin was about to leave, an attendant came and said, "Count Zhang Lin, Your Majesty is invited!" ”

Tang Jie looked at the attendant who came and asked, "Did Your Majesty say anything about looking for Zhang Lin?" ”

"Your Majesty didn't say it, the villain doesn't know, Count Tang Jie should go back!" After speaking, the chamberlain took Zhang Lin to the apse, Zhang Lin shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Tang Jie, and motioned for Tang Jie to go back first, and then he went to find him!

The apse is the place where the emperor lives, which is different from what Zhang Lin thinks, the harem that should be magnificent now seems to be very simple, all the decorations are simple, but it gives people a very tasteful feeling, the chamberlain took Zhang Lin to the inner study, "Your Majesty is waiting for you here, you go in!" ”

Zhang Lin tidied up his clothes, and before he could knock on the door, a sound came in from inside, Zhang Lin pushed open the door and walked into the inner study, everything was like the rest of the palace, simple but atmospheric, but it was filled with a smell of books, the emperor had changed his body, and he sat at the desk reading very casually, and after seeing Zhang Lin come in, he waved his hand and asked Zhang Lin not to salute, "In these red tapes, it will be free, what objection do you have to my marriage?" Tell me, I don't blame you. ”

It turned out that His Majesty called himself here because of this, but Zhang Lin couldn't find any reason to refuse, after all, the emperor had already said in front of the ministers, and it wouldn't be long before the entire Lance Empire would know that he was going to marry the little princess, and it would be impossible for His Majesty to take back the marriage. ”

"Do you think so? I've thought about it, and that's it! The emperor did not have the majesty of the council hall at this time, but was more easy-going and cordial, but what he said could not be questioned, "You can rest assured, I know that all this is a bit sudden for you, but it is not unacceptable, come, invite the little princess!" ”

"You are all young people, talk more, you know, sometimes some things are involuntarily, it's okay to try to accept it, and besides, you don't have a marriage match, do you think my little princess is not worthy of you?" The emperor asked Zhang Lin with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The minister doesn't dare, the little princess is not worthy of her, the minister is a military attaché, it is the duty of the minister to fight on the battlefield, the little princess marrying the minister will make her wronged, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." Zhang Lin is neither humble nor arrogant, even if the other party is the emperor, he has to say what is in his heart!

"Since you think the little princess can match you, don't say it, being in the royal family, you can't choose your own marriage, it's not easy to find a good home, I look at people very accurately, let my favorite little daughter marry you I think about it, no need to say more!"

At this point, Zhang Lin is powerless to change, unless he doesn't want to mix in the Reims Empire, otherwise he can't refuse such a thing at all, Zhang Lin still understands it!

"Father! The daughter has seen her father. As soon as Zhang Lin finished talking to His Majesty, a beautiful figure came in, with a slender figure and soft curves, no more or less can not show the beauty of this woman, melon seed face, eyebrows are curved, eyes are pure and soft, I didn't pay attention to Zhang Lin here, and began to coquettish the emperor, Zhang Lin looked at the emperor's fiancée who he gave to him and sighed in his heart, the royal family can not compare with the temperament of cultivating people, this is not something else that can be replaced!
