He silently thought, maybe what the emperor's uncle said was true, and he was really for his good.

Anyway, he doesn't love power, just cut it, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor is his uncle, he can't see his uncle working so hard, and the command of the embroidery department makes whoever loves to be the one, he is not appropriate.

Pei Qingyan stopped talking, just raised his wine glass.

"Uncle's painstaking banquet is understood, and the banquet toasts uncle."

The Emperor laughed heartily.

"Okay."

The two clinked glasses, and the wine in the cup spilled slightly, mixing into one.

A few days later.

The Emperor announced that the Governor's Department was formally established.

The commander of the Governor Department is Zhang Ying, who was in charge of the palace guards in the early years, he has been an official for many years, has enough qualifications, and his popularity in the court is not bad, and he controls the Governor Division and everyone is served.

It was this deputy commander who surprised everyone.

When the emperor announced, even Pei Qingyan couldn't help frowning.

Because this deputy commander is the son of Marquis An Yuan, who was lost since he was a child and was found when he grew up, he was originally named Jiang Hua, but now he has changed his name to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian appeared in the court and thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his appreciation on the spot.

After getting up, he glanced at Pei Qingyan proudly.

Pei Qingyan's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at him without the slightest emotion.

Lin Tian still didn't seem to feel it, and after the court meeting dispersed, he deliberately walked to Pei Qingyan's side and said with a smile: "Hello Master Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now we are also officials in the same dynasty, please give me more advice in the future." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand.

Pei Qingyan pulled his lips indifferently.

didn't shake his hand, only said: "It's that I underestimated Jiang Gongzi before, but I didn't expect you to have such ambitions." ”

Lin Tian smiled slightly.

Not embarrassed, he retracted his hand and said: "Master Pei, I have changed my surname now, my surname is Lin, my name is Lin Tian, and the word Zhonghua is Zhonghua." ”

"Huh." Pei Qingyan sneered, "Yes, it's time to change, after all, dogs know how to ask for bones at the door of the rich family, let alone you, Lord Lin?" ”

After he finished speaking, he ignored Lin Tian's face that suddenly turned iron and blue, and strode away.

Lin Tian looked at the direction Pei Qingyan left and clenched his fists fiercely.

It didn't take long for the newly appointed commander of the Governor's Department to come over.

Seeing him staring in the direction Pei Qingyan left, he frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Tian immediately changed to an indifferent expression.

"It's okay, I'm an old acquaintance with Master Pei, just a few jokes, by the way, Lord Zhang, my father set up a banquet in the house tonight, and specially asked me to invite you to join the game, I don't know if Lord Zhang can appreciate his face."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ying waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty has just appointed us, we will gather together in private, it is inevitable that we will be accused of forming a party for personal gain, it is better not to be good, by the way, when you come to the Yamen tomorrow, remember to go to the Embroidery Division first, and let people bring the roster and intelligence information about the palace guards over there, don't delay." ”

After he finished speaking, he was leaving.

After taking two steps, I thought of something, and finally came back to mention something.

"Lord Pei is His Majesty's nephew, no matter how good his teeth and lips are, there are times when he knocks them, but he has to work together afterwards, since he has entered the court, as your superior, I can't help but remind you, you can't take it lightly, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

After saying that, this time he didn't linger anymore and left quickly.

Lin Tian looked at his back as he left, his face pale.

Return to the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion.

Lin Qian met Lin Bi, Marquis of Anyuan.

At this time, Lin Bi was in the garden, grabbing a handful of fish food to feed the fish in the pond.

I saw a few red goldfish in the pond bright red, and when I saw the fish food spilled down, I immediately swam over happily, competing for fish food.

Lin Bi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Until Lin Tian walked over.

"Father."

When An Yuanhou saw him come back, the smile on his face faded, he handed over the fish food in his hand to his subordinates, took the hot handkerchief and wiped his hands, and asked while walking towards the pavilion: "How is it?" Has His Majesty appointed it? ”

"Appointed, my son is now the deputy commander of the Governor's Department, only Xiao Zainu works hard to squeeze out the one surnamed Zhang, and he will be able to sit on an equal footing with Pei Qingyan in the future."

"On an equal footing with Pei Qingyan?" Marquis An Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at him with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Why are you on his footing? Even if you become the commander-in-chief of the Governor's Division, but the emperor is his uncle, do you have an uncle who is the emperor? Not really. ”

Lin was puzzled.

"But you are Your Majesty's cousin, no matter what you say, I can call Your Majesty a cousin......"

"Stop!"

Lin Bi said indifferently: "More than ten years ago, the Seven Kings seized the throne, our family did not stand in line, and now we can get the title of Marquis of Anyuan, but because of the marriage of the Qi family in Jiangnan, the Qi family is a first-class scholarly family, and the reputation among the scholars is very high. ”

Lin Tian was silent.

Lin Bi continued: "Over the years, people in the imperial city have gone back and forth, in exchange for each other, only our Hou Mansion has not moved, but because he can see that your grandfather is loyal and honest, and has no ambition, although I have ambitions but no talent, it is just a rich idler, Your Majesty is happy to spend some money to maintain a good reputation for treating relatives, but this does not mean that Your Majesty really treats us as relatives." ”

"The most important thing for a courtier is to know how to keep his duty, don't move what you shouldn't move, don't rob what you shouldn't rob, you fight with that Pei Qingyan, but because he likes Song Anning, heh, a cheap woman who has reconciled with you, is also worth it for you to be like this?"

"If a man wants to be promising, he can't spend too much thought on a woman, not to mention that if you want to move Pei Qingyan, then Your Majesty can still tolerate you? You have always thought that Pei Qingyan is in a high position and can do anything, but you don't know that the embroidery department is a hot potato, and he can't hold it with his hands. ”

Lin Tian became more and more puzzled.

"In that case, why did my father still ask me to fight for the position of deputy commander of the Governor's Division? If this right can really make the emperor jealous, shouldn't we stay as far away as possible? ”

Lin Bi shook his head.

Looking at this son, I sighed in my heart.

The child is a smart child, but it's a pity that he was taken away from the capital since he was a child, resulting in his vision, knowledge, and even open-mindedness, which is not as good as the child who grew up in the capital.

This matter of the power struggle in the court may be clear to the children of other families.

But in the face of Lin Tian, he was about to crush it, so he broke it and explained it to him carefully.
