Liu Shouyou's face was so angry that his face turned pale, but there was nothing he could do, there was no doubt that he fell hard in front of the officials of the Beijing division this time.

Fortunately, he also has a lot of henchmen around him, Zhang Zhao, Pang Qing, Feng Xin, these commanders are the hardcore of the henchmen, the henchmen of the hardcore, and after a low discussion, someone arched his hand towards Liu Shouyou, and said so much.

"Okay." Liu Shouyou smiled when he heard this, "The governor of Bendu was confused just now, he didn't expect this layer, it's really, really haha, it's good-looking to call the surname Qin later!" ”

Qin Lin didn't look good, he ate xiaolongbao, smiled and walked back with Xu Wenbi and the three newly surrendered commanders, and the time was already more than half an hour later.

As he said, there was no movement in the palace.

But how can others be as sure as Qin Lin? They all stayed in the rooms on both sides of the noon gate, and the little officials nibbled on the dry food they brought, and the big officials brought lunch with food boxes.

As the saying goes, the snow is not cold, the weather is sunny and cold, and the cold wind is frozen into the bones, even if the double food box is wrapped in a small quilt, and it is cold to get the noon gate from outside the imperial city.

The officials have long been accustomed to it, just cool it down, and take advantage of a little heat, but there is really no way to roast it on the kang in the courtroom, so let's eat it.

Qin Lin and his entourage were eating with red faces, and there were still a few drops of sweat on their foreheads, calling the officials who were holding dry food or only a trace of hot food to look at it with envy and jealousy: You said that people are full of food and drink, and the xiaolongbao that has just come out of the pot is steaming and served on the table, let's swallow cold vegetables and cold rice here, and people are not angry compared to people?

Even those military governors secretly regretted that they had followed Qin Lin just now, and they had a full stomach and made friends with upstarts, wouldn't it be much stronger than drinking the wind in front of the noon gate?

Qin Lin didn't care a lot, he talked and laughed with the three newly recruited Tang officials, there was no doubt that they were all not very ambitious under Liu Shouyou, and it was impossible to see whether they had the skills for a while.

However, there are commanders and commanders who know the title, and farting can add wind, even as a peripheral force, it is also worth Qin Lin's envelope.

After waiting for more than half an hour, until Zhang Juzheng, the first auxiliary emperor, arrived in a super luxury sedan chair carried by thirty-two people, and finally the side doors on both sides of the noon gate slowly opened, and all the officials rushed over.

Inside the door, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, personally shouted: "Mr. Zhang, the auxiliary emperor of Xuanshou, Liu Dudu of Jinyiwei, and General Qin of Beizhen Fusi have entered, and the Wuying Palace is right!" ”

Ha, I still have my share! Liu Shou looked at Qin Lin complacently, followed Zhang Juzheng, and walked in with his head held high.

He didn't notice that the First Auxiliary Emperor smiled at Qin Lin's appreciation.

Wuying Hall is very close to the west of the noon gate, Zhang Cheng personally led the way, and soon arrived at this palace.

Empress Dowager Li and Wanli were already waiting in the palace, and Feng Bao was a eunuch, so naturally he didn't need to be summoned, and he was also by his side.

The Queen Mother and Your Majesty, the mother and son, both looked tired, Feng Bao had two dark circles under his eyes, Qin Lin secretly laughed when he saw this, he slept so late last night, Empress Dowager Li and Wanli were determined to get up at noon, as for poor Feng Dugong, he threw him all the follow-up work, and it is estimated that he can only take time to take a nap at most!

After Zhang Juzheng led Qin Lin and Liu Shouyou to dance, Feng Bao introduced the details of the trial last night, in fact, he must have told the Queen Mother and Wanli first, this is for Zhang Juzheng and Liu Shouyou.

Zhang Juzheng participated in the matter last night, and the more Liu Shouyou listened, the more frightened he became, not because of the weirdness and cunning of the White Lotus Sect, but because Qin Lin actually broke such a shocking case that related to the royal face, and even involved the abolition of the emperor.

After Feng Bao finished speaking, Wanli waved his hand: "General Qin has made a great contribution again, and I want to reward you heavily......

Mr. Zhang, how do you say I should be rewarded? ”

Wanli originally wanted to decide by himself, but Empress Dowager Li glanced at him, so she still asked Zhang Juzheng in the end.

Seeing that the emperor's eyebrows shrugged up slightly, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "General Qin's great merits involve the secrets of the palace, and he can't make the world clear, after all, he has shallow qualifications, and he suddenly occupies a high position at the age of a weak crown, and the old minister may not be able to convince the public." ”,

Wanli's mother and son looked at each other, and they didn't agree with Zhang Juzheng's statement, but Empress Dowager Li had been teaching her son to listen to Mr. Zhang's words for ten years, so it was difficult to refute at this time.

"What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?" Wanli frowned.

Zhang Juzheng stroked the black beard under his chin: "Since Your Majesty has rewarded the jade belt, it is already a rare encounter in the past dynasties, in the old man's opinion, this time is enough, if General Qin makes great contributions in the future, he will be rewarded again!" ”

Wanli was unhappy for Qin Lin in his heart,

Look at this Aiqing, always looking at the nose and nose, the old god is standing aside, and there is no act of asking for merit and reward, and the more grateful I am in my heart.

"General Qin, what do you think?"

Wanli made an exception and asked Qin Lin, and said unprecedentedly: "Whatever you want, I will reward you." ”

Qin Lin lowered his head, more honest than ever, "The jade belt rewarded by Your Majesty is a special favor to Weichen, Weichen is flattered, and he doesn't have to ask for anything more." ”

Wanli was very moved, and the Empress Dowager Li also nodded again and again, a courtier like Qin Lin who has made great contributions and is not proud of his achievements at all is really rare!

Liu Shouyou will be wrong, seeing that Zhang Juzheng has repeatedly suppressed Qin Lin, he only said that the emperor's master and first assistant disliked him - whose daughter was delayed until the age of nineteen and couldn't get married, I'm afraid they would hate this guy, right?

"Wechen has something to do." Liu Shouyou knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Qin Lin is bold and reckless!" The jade belt given by His Majesty should have been respectfully offered at home, but he didn't care about tying it on his body, and he was sloppy all over, obviously deceitful to the king! ”

Qin Lin was indeed very sloppy, but Empress Dowager Li and Wanli both knew the reason and did not blame him.

Empress Dowager Li shook her head: "General Qin was still investigating the case late last night and in the middle of the night, he must be so tired that he will go back and sleep immediately, he has no time to tidy up his appearance when he gets up, all to serve the court!" ”

Wanli's slender eyes narrowed, staring at Qin Lin suspiciously.

This emperor inherited his grandfather Emperor Jiajing's cold nature, even if the credit is great, in his mind can only get a moment of gratitude, the distinction between monarchs and ministers is separated by the abyss, and the emperor's mental skills will eventually overshadow that gratitude.

Liu Shouyou didn't mention it, since he mentioned it, Wanli saw the Nine Dragons Jade Belt tied around Qin Lin's waist, and his heart was full of diaphragm: The royal things were given to the courtiers, and the courtiers were a little taboo after all, so they were generally used at home, and they were not really used.

Qin Lin was not in a hurry, and talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that the things used by the emperor are not for the minister's own use, but Weichen tied the jade belt on his body, and he also had a deep meaning from the minister. ”

Oh? Wanli became interested and looked at Qin Lin with interest.

Liu Shouyou sneered, and said in his heart to see what tricks you can make up?

Relying on this Nine Dragons jade belt to suppress my prestige in front of the noon gate, this is still this jade belt, so that you will be deflated in front of Your Majesty, lose your holy family, see if you are still arrogant?

Qin Lin looked solemn and said loudly: "Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is a young son of heaven, who succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, and there are still many people who don't know how your Majesty is wise and martial, so Weichen learned the story of buying horse bones with a daughter, and specially tied the Nine Dragons Jade Belt given by His Majesty, so that everyone in the world knows that although Weichen is not talented, he can still be favored by His Majesty. ”

The horse's bones come from the Warring States Policy, which is about an ancient courtier who bought a thousand horses for the king, but only bought the bones of a dead horse back, the king was furious and puzzled, and the courtier explained that if everyone saw that the king was willing to buy the bones of the horse with a lot of money, they would think that the king really wanted to buy the horse at a high price, and he would naturally send the horse to the door. Later, as the courtiers said, within a year, several horses were presented.

As soon as Qin Lin's words fell, Wanli's brows relaxed, and Empress Dowager Li was even more happy: "General Qin is too humble, from the perspective of the mourning family, where are you a horse bone?" You are clearly the thousand-mile horse who assists my emperor! ”

Wanli looked at Qin Lin, Liu Shou didn't mention it, but since he mentioned it, he felt that he was a little unworthy, so he shook his head. ,

Liu Shouyou saw His Majesty shaking his head towards Qin Lin, and he was happy in his heart, and he only said that the emperor wanted to reprimand.

How do you know that Wanli opened his mouth and said: "Qin Aiqing, the jade belt should be matched with a python robe, and your flying fish suit is matched with a luan belt, and now you have a jade belt, which is indecent." ”

Qin Lin pretended to hesitate and pretended to be stupid: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not been rewarded with a python robe. ”

"What a solid-eyed General Qin!" Empress Dowager Li smiled and leaned back.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at him, stroked his beard and led slightly.

Wanli became more and more satisfied, and stretched out his hand and waved:"

The jade belt has never been matched with a python robe, since the United has rewarded you with the nine dragon jade belt, is there still a python robe? As the queen mother said, General Qin is too solid-eyed, okay, Lian will give you a python robe, a foot die, Zhu shoes, General Qin, and a trowel, pants or something, Lian will not give them one by one, don't wear a python robe with bare legs. ”

Thank you, Your Majesty! Qin Lin smiled, and his heart turned with joy.

The python robe is a gift of will, even if it is a prince, it can not be worn without a special purpose, and only the ministers and cabinet members who do the right thing will be gifted, which is a very special official uniform.

Just from the pattern to know the special python robe, it is almost exactly the same as the dragon robe worn by the emperor, and can even use the emperor's special bright yellow, the only difference is that the dragon's claws are reduced from five to four, not called the dragon but the python.

Liu Shouyou regretted that he almost gave himself an ear scraper, it's really a pot that can't be opened and caught, if you don't have many mouths, even if this matter is over, it's good to open your mouth, Qin Lin has one more python robe, I only have a flying fish suit in this brocade cloth, woo woo~~ Liu Dudu just wants to cry in his heart.
