"Imperial Guards, listen to my orders!"
"If anyone uses violence again, I will arrest them on the spot! No matter if they die or not!!"
Crash!!
The Imperial Guards drew their weapons one after another, their vital energy bursting out, ready to suppress the enemy at any time.
They didn't care whether he was the Duke of Zhenguo or the Marquis of Guanjun. If the fight continued like this, they would definitely take them both down. Otherwise, if His Majesty blamed them, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
The commander of the Imperial Guards shouted in a deep voice, "Duke Lin, you must think carefully. The Marquis of Guanjun killed a prisoner on death row. If you want to attack the Marquis of Guanjun, can your Zhenguo Mansion bear the consequences? Can your other children bear the consequences?"
Lin Pojun closed his eyes, opened them slowly, and said in a deep voice:
"I raised a biting beast!!"
After saying that, Lin Pojun silently went to pick up Lin Yaoguang's body.
Other people from Zhenguo Mansion also went up to help pick up the items.
He picked up eyeballs, fingers, ribs, and Kun Kun, and was very busy.
But they all looked very unhappy, as if someone had died in their family.
The Imperial Guards general looked at Lin Che again and said:
"Marquis Guanjun, do you want to go to the Mirror Division by yourself, or should we take you there?"
"No need. I will go to the palace myself and report to His Majesty!"
Lin Che waved his hand and strode towards the city gate.
Today's matter must be explained clearly to His Majesty. After all, someone was killed outside the city, and there was a conflict with the Zhenguo Mansion.
It is necessary to say hello to your thighs first.
He had unimpeded access to the palace.
Empress Jiang Li should have received the news as well, so Lin Che could see her as soon as he arrived.
"I am guilty, Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me death!"
As soon as Lin Che entered the imperial study, he started to apologize without thinking twice.
Jiang Li was wearing an imperial robe and reviewing memorials. His heroic aura still gave people a sense of amazement.
Jiang Li didn't even raise his head, seemingly not taking Lin Che's words seriously at all, and just asked casually:
"You are indeed guilty."
"ah??"
Lin Che was stunned. No way? Your Majesty.
How can I be sure of my guilt? That was just my opening statement. I'm your confidant, not a serious threat.
Jiang Li held the pen in his fair hands and reviewed the memorial quickly. Then he slowly raised his stunning face and said:
"The charge is that you are too stupid. Unfortunately, I am not guilty of stupidity, otherwise you would definitely go to jail."
What's the meaning?
This sounds like a joke, but this is the empress, so her words should have a second meaning, right?
"I am a simple and honest person, and indeed I have many clumsinesses. I beg Your Majesty to explain."
Jiang Li looked straight at Lin Che with his bright eyes and said with a smile:
"I know whether you are honest or treacherous. But this time, you were truly foolish. It was just a matter of killing a prisoner. You could have hired a few assassins and given the escorting guards some money, and there are plenty of ways to kill a prisoner."
"But you, the dignified Marquis of Champion, disregarded your status and actually took action yourself. And you even did it in front of the Duke of Zhenguo. You think that your death is not fast enough, right?"
Lin Che was stunned. The empress really was referring to this matter.
But from what the empress said, it seemed that she didn't want to punish him, but just blame him for not being satisfied with his work.
Double skin milk, you still love me.
“Your Majesty is right in reprimanding me. I have failed your Majesty’s expectations.” Lin Che bowed slightly.
Although he was granted the privilege of "not bowing when meeting the emperor", he still had to bend down for the sake of appearance.
Jiang Li seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and the corners of his handsome mouth curved up again:
"You are my lucky star. I have personally read both of your war poems. With these two poems, my kingdom has become more stable. You deserve a reward—"
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Lin Che was overjoyed.
If His Majesty doesn't mind, he really wants to hug her and kiss her madly for half an hour.
"I grant you the right to recruit soldiers!"
"As for the number of troops, let's set it at 3,000! After all, you are the Marquis of Champion, so 3,000 soldiers is not excessive."
What?
The power to recruit government soldiers?
Isn't this a power that only dukes and princes have?
He is now given the power to recruit palace soldiers!
Recruiting soldiers and commanding the troops are different. Some commanders also have the power to command the troops, but as long as they are dismissed and their military tokens are taken away, they cannot mobilize even a single soldier.
However, recruiting government soldiers is different.
This is a power that belongs entirely to you and only obeys your own orders.
It seems that this time, His Majesty has really become generous.
"I will definitely live up to your majesty's kindness. I will train these three thousand palace soldiers well, and they will serve your majesty in the future!"
"Then I will wait and see, expecting you to work for me in the future." Jiang Li was very much looking forward to it and in a good mood. He even picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Does drinking tea mean seeing the guests off?
But as the Empress, she wouldn't use such a method to make him retreat, right? She usually spoke directly.
But today, the matter should be done, and he will not be allowed to leave.
Does this mean that he should stay a little longer?
Lin Che hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask: "Should I step down now? Go directly to the Ministry of War to handle the formalities."
When he looked up, he saw Jiang Li putting down the teacup.
Jiang Li saw Lin Che's expression and asked, "Why? Do you want another cup of tea?"
After she finished speaking, she turned to the maid next to her and said, "Go, serve a cup of tea to the Champion."
Huh???
What’s going on?
Could it be that she really wanted me to stay and chat more?
Or is there anything else to say?
