Chapter 35: The Forbidden City!

Looking at the nine tree holes neatly arranged from top to bottom, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shudder.

The speed of Lin Shi's spear is too fast, and the force can easily pierce even a hundred-year-old tree, this kind of speed and strength, in the battlefield, who can be the enemy?

"Master Lin, can I practice to your level in the future?"

Zhu Houzhao was very excited, compared with the previous masters who taught him to practice martial arts, the marksmanship taught by Master Lin in front of him is the real killing technique, this is the real kung fu!

"Let's talk about this when you can stick your spear out as you like without any mistakes!"

"Great!"

The excited secondary two teenagers began to practice the tattooing trick in marksmanship extremely hard, fantasizing that one day they could become a general in the invincible battlefield!

Seeing this, Lin Nuo didn't say anything more, but turned around and entered the main hall, where Xiu'er was sitting cross-legged on a bench, closing her eyes and cultivating her internal strength.

"You should know that this kid's martial arts talent is very poor!" Sensing that Lin Nuo entered the room, Xiu'er opened her eyes and said softly.

"I know, but he called me Master Lin, I always have to teach him some real skills, maybe he can't become a master, but it's enough to barely protect himself!"

The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, if it is said that in addition to Xiu'er, a family of tomb robbers, it is estimated that the place with the most martial arts secrets is the inner library of the palace.

As the crown prince, Zhu Houzhao has access to a lot of cheats, and it is definitely not bad. But now the other party is fourteen or fifteen years old, but the internal force on his body is extremely weak, and he has not even reached the entrance, which shows the difference in the other party's qualifications.

Moreover, Lin Nuo has also explored his meridians, almost all of the eight veins of the Qi Meridian are blocked, and the cultivation of internal force can be said to be half the effort, and he can cultivate to the level of a third-rate master in this life, which is almost the end.

"What's next, what are your plans?" Xiu'er didn't care about Zhu Houzhao's matter, she just asked casually, but she was full of curiosity about Lin Nuo's next arrangement.

"I am the top three, normally speaking, it will not be long before I will be arranged to serve in the Hanlin Academy as the seventh grade or from the sixth grade, this is a relatively idle position, after three or five years, I will be released to serve as the prefect or the governor of Zhili Prefecture, and become a senior official of the fourth grade!"

"If there are no accidents during the term of office, after the end of the term, he will be promoted to the governor of any province, or he will be transferred to the capital and serve as the squire of one of the six ministries!"

"Promotion so fast?" Xue Xiu'er was a little surprised, originally in his impression, it took many years for officials to be promoted, but he didn't expect that in Lin Nuo's mouth, in less than ten years, he could jump from a sixth- or seventh-grade petty official to a second- or third-grade senior member in the court.

"Ordinary Jinshi, naturally need to start slowly from the Qipin County Order, but the top three in the palace examination are a little special, and they will be treated preferentially, as long as they can be officials, don't offend people, and the promotion speed is much faster than that of ordinary Jinshi!"

Xiu'er was silent, and after a while, she shook her head, "Your temperament, in this capital, it's too difficult not to offend people!"

Xiu'er is right, in the capital, the relationship network is too complicated, and there are too many arrogant and domineering people, maybe one day, Lin Nuo can't help but kill the whole family of a high-ranking official!

"So, it's best to find some relationships to release as soon as possible, out of the capital, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it doesn't matter how I toss!"

.......

On the second day, just as Lin Nuo was thinking about whether to visit some officials in the ministry and go out to get a county official, outside the courtyard, a middle-aged eunuch, escorted by several brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, walked in quickly.

"Lin Tanhua, quickly change your clothes, enter the palace with our family, the saint wants to see you!"

After the eunuch entered the courtyard, his eyes were on Lin Nuo from beginning to end, as for Zhu Houzhao, who was practicing guns not far away, he directly chose not to see it, and seemed to understand that the identity of the prince was not suitable for exposure here.

Lin Nuo's heart moved when he heard this, and he felt that his opportunity to release seemed to have come.

After changing into court clothes, Lin Nuo didn't say much, and followed the eunuch straight into the Forbidden City, through the palace walls, and came to an inconspicuous-looking palace.

The middle-aged eunuch first went in to pass the ceremony, then leaned out and beckoned to Lin Nuo.

"Lin Tanhua, let's go in, the Holy One just has time!"

Lin Nuo nodded and took a deep breath, Rao is self-proclaimed martial arts strength, but it was the first time he directly faced the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire, and it was a lie to say that he was not nervous at all.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, Lin Nuo had not yet figured out how to salute, when a gentle laugh came from the room.

"Lin Nuo is here, he hasn't eaten yet, let's have some lunch with me!"

This seems to be the imperial study, but at this time, in the room, there is a dining table, and the gentle and unheard Emperor Hongzhi is sitting in the first place, and in his left hand position, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao actually arrived before him, and at this time he was sitting on the chair with a smile and glancing at Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo was stunned for a moment, and Emperor Hongzhi was going to have a showdown with him.

At that moment, he was no longer polite, and after saying thank you, he sat down in the next position under the guidance of Zhu Houzhao.

"I also know about the prince's martial arts practice with you these days, Lin Nuo, I have to say, you are a good teacher!"

Hongzhi is a benevolent monarch, but he is also an extremely pragmatic emperor, since Lin Nuo sat down, he did not say a word of nonsense, let alone ask Lin Nuo if he knew the identity of the prince before, but directly expressed his meaning.

"I summoned you this time, I need to hear your opinion!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Lin Nuo had a thought in his heart, knowing that his opportunity to release was probably coming.

"I have read the article on changing the land and returning to the river in the palace test before, and I think it is promising!" Hongzhi smiled: "This strategy was proposed by you, I ask you, if you are allowed to go to the southwest Yunnan-Guizhou region to govern, can you be confident that the policy of changing the land and returning to the river will be implemented without causing great turmoil?"

Hongzhi's meaning is very clear, this is to deliberately hand over the messy government affairs in the southwest region to Lin Nuo to solve.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, in what capacity will the minister go to the southwest?

After understanding Emperor Hongzhi's pragmatism, Lin Nuo was no longer restrained, and directly asked for an official without being polite.

"It is impossible to judge whether the policy of changing the land and returning it to the river is feasible, so I decided to choose a county in Guizhou as a pilot first, and if it is effective, it can be promoted in the entire southwest region!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Lin Nuo nodded in agreement, this method of using a county as a pilot is indeed extremely safe, after all, the implementation of a policy related to the stability of the country is indeed impatient.
