Chu Lianyu glanced at Lin Haotian deeply, and secretly raised his thumb, he was also puzzled by the doubts in Lin Haotian's heart, but he didn't have time to say it yet.

After a pause, he asked again, "Do you still want to participate in today's morning court?"

Lin Haotian blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course I want to go, Lian Yu, tell me, what will happen when the king summons me this time?"

Chu Lianyu smiled and asked rhetorically: "What else can happen?" The Lord has just led the army to repel the Red Army, and now the Mu Country is difficult to support alone, and it is a matter of time before the army retreats. ”

"Hehe!" Lin Haotian smiled and said, "This is a good thing!" As he spoke, his eyes rolled and he said: "If this is the case, the opportunity is really rare, you all go with me, maybe you can all be crowned an official and a half-job!"

Lin Haotian himself is not very interested in the addition of officials and knights, but the generals and strategists under him are not all like this, and Lin Haotian brought them on this trip precisely for the sake of these people.

When the time for the early dynasty came, he brought all his core subordinates up, and Hao Hao went to the palace to face the saint.

When Lin Haotian entered the Taihe Palace, Zhao Yu and other ministers were also present.

The people led by Lin Haotian walked to the bottom of the steps of the main hall and bowed forward in unison.

Zhao Yu looked at them with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly." ”

"King Xie!" Lin Haotian and the others got up one after another, and then stepped aside.

Zhao Yu smiled at Lin Haotian, leaned forward, and then, with a straight face, asked loudly, "Lin Aiqing." This time, you led the army to repel the Red Army, and at the same time relieved the danger of the capital, which is really indispensable!"

After Lin Haotian heard this, his body straightened, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Being able to do things for the king is a matter within the minister's duty. ”

"Hey—" Zhao Yu waved his hand. smiled and said: "Aiqing, don't be too humble!" After a pause, he said again: "Lin Haotian stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

"The minister is here!" Lin Haotian strode out of the queue and knelt down on one knee.

"This king has named you the general of Zhenguo, and the official rank is from the first rank, and you will be the general!"

General Zhenguo is a high-ranking official second only to the Three Princes, even if he is placed in the army, it is second to none, it can be said that Zhao Yu's words. directly listed Lin Haotian among the top princes and ministers.

"King Xie!" Lin Haotian had a straight face, and he would bow respectfully and thank him.

Now, Zhao Yu saw how Lin Haotian liked it, he waved his hand and said, "General Zhenguo, please hurry up." ”

Lin Haotian didn't get up immediately, he still knelt there, and arched his hand and said, "The minister has something to do." ”

"General Zhenguo, please speak!"

"The ability to repel the Red Army this time is not the credit of Weichen alone, and the officers and men of our army are all involved. The great king's grace is great, and he can reward the ministers. I also hope that Bixia can reward these generals who fought with Weichen in the south and the north and killed the enemy for the country!" Lin Haotian said.

Before Lin Haotian could speak, Du Qingxian on the side couldn't help it, and he said coldly: "Since they are all General Lin's subordinates, they should be rewarded by General Lin, so why bother the king?

After listening to his words, Lin Haotian remained silent. didn't even look at Du Qing, just waited for Zhao Yu's reply, but this didn't mean that he didn't hold a grudge in his heart.

Zhao Yu changed color slightly, feeling that Du Qing was too unkind, to put it bluntly, he didn't know what to do. Lin Haotian led the army to repel the Red Army, what a great credit, now he is just asking for some rewards for his subordinates, it's not a big deal!

"Hehe!" Zhao Yu smiled, waved his hand at Du Qing, and said: "Du Aiqing, I think it is reasonable for General Zhenguo to ask for merit for his subordinates, so be it, but all the generals under General Zhenguo, regardless of the size of the position, will be promoted by one level!"

"Thank you, Bixia!"

Lin Haotian arched his hand again, and then stood up.

As soon as he got up, Zhao Yu seemed to think of something, looked at Lin Haotian, and asked with concern: "This king heard that General Zhenguo was attacked by a villain last night, what is going on?"

Lin Haotian smiled slightly and replied: "Back to the king, last night there were a few people who broke into the Weichen's room and wanted to put the minister to death. ”

Zhao Yu was furious, slapped the table case fiercely, and shouted: "There is such a thing? Who is so bold, it is so lawless, Lin Aiqing, has the murderer ever been caught?"

Lin Haotian shook his head and said, "The murderer has committed suicide by taking poison, but Wei Chen thinks that there must be someone who is the mastermind in this matter, and he has ordered his subordinates to investigate." While speaking, Lin Haotian glanced at Du Qing meaningfully.

At this time, the latter stood in place as if he had nothing to do, putting on an innocent appearance that he had nothing to do with himself.

Zhao Yu didn't notice Lin Haotian's movements, he just nodded in agreement and said, "What General Zhenguo said is true, such a thief, after being found out, he must be severely punished!"

"Weichen understands!" Lin Haotian replied and retreated into the queue.

Zhao Yu smiled with satisfaction, and when his gaze swept over Du Qing of His Royal Highness, he said, "Du Aiqing, what has happened on Mu Jun's side recently?"

Du Qing walked out of the queue and replied, "The Mu army has evacuated the border of Wuling County yesterday and is currently stationed in Changyu County and Shangpu County. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was displeased, and said dissatisfied: "The two counties of Changyu and Shangpu were originally my Dajin land, but now that the Red Army has retreated, why are these two counties still in the hands of the Mu Army?"

Du Qing grinned secretly, it was true that the Red Army had retreated, but it was tightly withdrawn from Wuling County, Changyu and Shangpu Counties had been occupied by the Mu Army for several months, and the foundation of the Mu Army here had already been solidified, so how could it be said that they would retreat?

Just when Du Qing was at a loss, his mind turned and he immediately came up with a plan.

The corners of Du Qing's mouth rose, and he smiled, and said: "King, the Red Army has retreated, and it is only a matter of time before the Mu Army withdraws to the country, and now they stay in the two counties of Changyu and Shangpu and refuse to leave, this is our good opportunity!"

"Good opportunity?" Zhao Yu was puzzled.

"Hehe, yes, it's just ...... I'm afraid there will be General Lao Zhenguo again. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tai Shuhong and Lin Haotian both frowned secretly, not knowing what tricks Du Qing was going to play.

Zhao Yu was full of interest, and asked with a smile: "Why did Du Aiqing say this?"

"The two counties of Changyu and Shangpu occupied by the wooden army are all my Dajin land, since they were captured by the Mu army, the people of their land are all living in dire straits, and they have long been complaining, but all my Dajin people, all day and night, are looking forward to the early recovery of the two counties by the tiger and wolf division of our country, in this case, why not follow the will of heaven and send the general of Zhenguo to lead the army to conquer these two counties, and wipe out the wooden army stationed there in one fell swoop, so that they have no return!"

After finishing speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Lin Haotian, and he was very proud in his heart.

The Mu Army is not as easy to deal with as the Red Army, the first few big battles that happened around Wuling County were personally commanded by Du Qing, so he was quite jealous of the combat effectiveness of the Mu Army, his previous words, not only threw the hot potato of Changyu and Shangpu Second County to Lin Haotian, but also put the latter in danger, of course, if Lin Haotian can die in this battle, it is exactly what Du Qing wants.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu and Tai Shuhong's reactions were completely different, the former's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that Du Qing's proposal was very good, since the invasion of the Jin country by the Mu army, it had indeed caused immeasurable losses to the Jin country, if it was really so easy to put them back, it would be too much to say, and he couldn't hang his face, but if he could wipe out the Mu army in his own country, this could show the national prestige of the Jin country.

And Tai Shuhong scolded Du Qing in his heart for being cunning, he spent so much thought and effort to speak for Lin Haotian in front of the king, he was good, he was going to throw Lin Haotian to the border again in a word, so his efforts were not all in vain!

With the triumphant Du Qing, Uncle Tai suppressed his anger, smiled slightly, and said: "King, General Lin has just returned from the battle, I'm afraid it is not appropriate to go out again......

Before his words fell, Du Qing preemptively said: "The prime minister's words are wrong, General Lin returned victorious, and the morale of the whole army is booming, and now he is just carrying the power of Yu Sheng, and he will level the wooden army in one fell swoop!"

Du Qing frowned and hurriedly said, "In that case, why didn't the general himself go?"

"Hehe, the old man thinks that his ability is not as good as General Lin. ”

"You ......" The so smart and witty Tai Shuhong had no words at this time, and was speechless.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled and said: "The two Aiqing don't have to fight anymore, you two have their own opinions, but this king still wants to hear General Zhenguo's own opinions." ”

After speaking, Zhao Yu looked at Lin Haotian and asked with a smile: "Lin Aiqing, what do you think of Du Aiqing's proposal?" (to be continued......)
