In April of the first year of the Holy One, after five resignations, Lin Jianyue finally agreed to Wang Guizhishi and crowned him as the Grand Master. After that, Wang Gui's suggestion was adopted, Liu Bingyun succeeded him as the first assistant, Ma Yan entered the cabinet, and at the same time appointed Ma Yan as the chief examiner of the August National Imperial Examination and Li Zili as the deputy.

Whoever enters the cabinet Lin Jianyue did not engage in any court push system, that is, the emperor himself decided with a word.

But Lin Jianyue didn't let Wang Gui leave the capital, as for what was the matter of the obedient marquis, Lin Jianyue scoffed, some people didn't pay attention to their little actions at all, the reason why they didn't move was to see if there were any hidden cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

Lin Jianyue knew the conversation between Wang Gui and Qin Zhenghao, he felt that these two people had thought too much, who could shake Lin Jianyue now? Even if they are crowned kings, they still have to be courtiers obediently, Lin Jianyue has this confidence.

As for what will happen after he dies, Lin Jianyue is not worried, he can survive most of the merits by himself, but what he really pays attention to is the rising star who is much younger than himself.

Although the prince's martial arts are not high, Lin Jianyue feels that he is smarter than himself, not only that, but he is also quite clever and fickle at a young age, and it is no problem to be a promising king under the policies formulated by himself, as for the future, he is not a god, and he can't care so far.

After several tosses, Cao Baojin finally took Deng Chan's mother and son to the capital.

"Your Majesty, Cao Baojin has arrived, I don't know how Your Majesty will arrange it?" Gu Xiang, who was pinching Lin Jianyue's shoulder, paid special attention to the change in his man's expression, but Lin Jianyue did not have any abnormal reaction.

"I know that Cao Baojin is a very capable person and a good person, Wang Xian, arrange to meet him in the west hall of the Baohe Palace this afternoon, as for Deng Chan and Jixi, find a big courtyard outside the imperial city to arrange to live, and Zhijing will also move over. Think about it, if you take Ding'er to see them on my behalf, it's not convenient for me to go. ”

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "It's true, the queen of the Ning Dynasty and the queen of the Meng Dynasty have all been occupied by Your Majesty, and people who don't know still think that Your Majesty is good at this!" This Deng Chan is the concubine of King Qin and His Majesty's sister-in-law, so I am afraid that someone will chew the root of her tongue, so it is the best. ”

Lin Jianyue smiled bitterly: "You have a lot of eyes!" However, Deng Chan and I have some grievances, just in case, you arrange the Dieyi Division and the Zhenfu Division to do a good job of protection, for fear that it will not be good to be used. ”

The movement caused by Deng Chan's arrival in the capital is not small, the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but not only Li Yunxi and Sun Manqing have ideas, but people from hostile forces have more ideas, such as Shengbao, the leader of the spy left by the Eagle Catcher, is one of them, and his protective identity is Wuyun Qige's henchman guard, and he is also a member of the Keree Department, but he is also a diehard loyalist of Agoura Siqin.

Spying on the military situation is the task, and finding an opportunity to provoke Lin Jianyue and Lin Jian'an's brothers to turn against each other is his main goal, and assassinating Deng Chan's mother and son is the best opportunity, so as to buy more time for the Great Khan to recover.

Cao Baojin looked at the huge and prosperous capital and felt awe-inspiring, it had only been a long time, and seeing that all this in front of him was already the appearance of a prosperous age, he felt that Lin Jian'an's struggle was completely futile.

Entering the imperial city, he was even more surprised, the situation in front of him made him have the urge to worship, the imperial road, the square, the palace, so majestic and solemn, he couldn't describe the shock in his heart in words, he felt that this was not something that could be done by manpower, this is the place of the Son of Heaven, the center of the world, Chengdu Mansion or Nanzheng, that is the countryside.

Lin Jianyue and Cao Baojin have met before, but they are not familiar with each other, Lin Jianyue's memory is very strong, Cao Baojin's appearance has not changed much, but he is much older, his back is slightly bent, and most of the white hair on his head is gone.

Watching Cao Baojin bow in an orderly manner, Lin Jianyue couldn't help but feel the vicissitudes of life when he first arrived.

"General Cao has made a lot of contributions, and has relieved many injuries to the people of the Han Mansion in Shudi, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the two places. You weren't there when I ascended the throne, but your position was still reserved, Wang Xian, and handed over the crown, tablet, and reward of the Marquis of Zhongyi to General Cao. ”

Cao Baojin had to kneel down again to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

Hou can't be sealed casually, it is impossible without major and outstanding military achievements, after all, the entire empire is only 28 people.

Cao Baojin also understands the meaning of the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, which is the heart of His Majesty, which shows that His Majesty does not look down on his identity as a general, but still admires him, it is impossible to say that he is not moved in his heart.

Lin Jianyue noticed that Cao Baojin wanted to speak, but his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, but quietly waited for his lecture.

"Cao Hou must be particularly concerned about Jixi's future! Rest assured, I have never broken my promise before, and it is even more impossible now. But now the timing is not right, and the places have not yet been all defeated. ”

Lin Jianyue didn't sit on top anymore but walked down, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked Wang Xian and everyone else to withdraw.

"The eldest brother is the hero, after so many years, even if I, the younger brother, am the emperor, my admiration has never changed, I miss him very much, I don't know how he is now. Cao Hou, I only dare to say these words to you, if they hear it, they will annoy me to death. The world has to fight, no matter who it is for, can Cao Hou understand? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister understands that Your Majesty is a person who values love and righteousness, but he is also the emperor who reigns over the world, and some things are done as a last resort."

Lin Jianyue nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "In the end, my eldest brother and I will still see the truth on the battlefield, but it is a confrontation of strength, army, strategy and tactics, not a life-and-death battle between brothers." To put it mildly, I have the final say on how to fight and to what extent, and I will never let the situation of brothers killing each other. I'm not going to do it, big brother isn't going to do it, we're not going to do it. ”

After Lin Jianyue finished speaking, he looked out of the hall in a daze, silent for a long time, lonely and sad.

Cao Baojin could understand Lin Jianyue's mood at this time, because he had also felt similar. Such a king who values love and righteousness is worthy of allegiance, Cao Baojin felt that he admired Lin Jianyue a little, such an emperor he had never seen or heard of, he felt that he had succumbed... No, it's surrender, and there is no longer a sense of grievance, just stay where you are and wait.

After a long time, Lin Jianyue said to Cao Baojin: "I don't know where Cao Hou thinks it is better to be the king?" ”。

Cao Baojin knew that Lin Jianyue was right, in fact, it was the best place for Lin Jian'an to stay.

"Your Majesty's demarcation of the central land, Wei Chen also knows that the Wa Kingdom is not far or close to the central land, and it is convenient to travel at a certain distance. After the big event is decided, after a long time, some things are not important, and you don't have to care, maybe there will be a happy day, so there will be no regrets, and it will be complete. ”

Lin Jianyue felt that Cao Baojin understood him very well, he was very happy, and felt that the block in his heart had dissipated a lot, and he couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around Cao Baojin's shoulder.

"Cao Hou's words are very much in line with me, I'm afraid that the eldest brother may not be able to bear the loneliness, but it doesn't matter, the northern part of the Wa Kingdom is not far from the vast land where the barbarians are entrenched, and there are places where the eldest brother can display his talents. I know that Cao Hou is very capable, you can lead tens of thousands of your former elite subordinates in the Han Mansion to cross the Wa Kingdom eastward, and when you arrive, it is estimated that my navy has already defeated the Wa Kingdom! You go and lay a good foundation first, and I will also send someone to help you, and when the time comes, I will come back to pick up the eldest brother and Jisi them. ”

Cao Baojin took a few steps back, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times, and the blood was about to come out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
