"My humble servant is here!"
Lin Che answered readily and quickly followed.
The ministers followed suit, many of them taking the opportunity to congratulate Lin Che.
Lin Che saw that the time had come and all the ministers were present, so he immediately said:
"My dear colleagues, when I was granted the title of Earl of Jing'an, I did not host a banquet for you. This time, Your Majesty has shown me great kindness by granting me the title of Marquis. In seven days, I will host a banquet at my residence. My dear colleagues, please come and have a drink!"
Shen Luo, a senior official from the Six Ministries, was the first to speak: "Marquis Guanjun, you should have hosted a banquet for everyone long ago. I thought of having a drink at your mansion last time. If they don't go, I will definitely go. Hahahaha."
"Hahaha, congratulations, Marquis Guanjun. You've just been made a marquis. If you don't have enough manpower at the mansion, I'll help you with the banquet. Don't be polite with me. By the way, I'm Zhou Dakang from the Ministry of Justice."
The court officials finally understood that Lin Che's rapid advancement was unprecedented.
His Majesty directly gave him the title of "Marquis of Champion", which shows his favor for him. Such a person must be flattered and befriended.
At least not an enemy.
In the past, they were still worried about Lin Pojun and didn't dare to get close to Lin Che, the traitor of the Zhenguo Mansion. But now it was different. The Zhenguo Mansion was about to fall.
What are you afraid of?
"Brother Lin Che, you must reserve two tables for us Yin Yang family. We will definitely bring valuable gifts to show our support."
Lin Che's spirits lifted, triggering the keyword "valuable gift".
Why did he hold a big banquet?
Of course, it's to receive gifts. Is it really because I'm bored to death?
This time, we must seize the opportunity to make a fortune.
"Hahaha. I will definitely save a seat for you. Don't worry, I'll ask the people at the mansion to write the invitations when I get back!"
Lin Che was now a popular figure in front of the Empress. Following behind the group, he was not afraid of being heard by the Empress in front, and responded to everyone with a smile.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of that poem.
The filthiness of the past is nothing to boast about, but today my unbridled thoughts have no limits.
The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and all the flowers in Chang'an can be seen in one day.
As for Lin Pojun, he was still kneeling there like a piece of wood.
His Majesty had already issued an order. What could he do? Did he dare disobey? If anyone was to blame, it was Lin Yaoguang, who had repeatedly angered His Majesty.
It's also my fault. I shouldn't have helped Lin Yaoguang just now. It was equivalent to saving Lin Yaoguang's life from His Majesty's sword.
But the price is too high.
The entire Zhenguo Mansion was at stake! !
Lin Pojun didn't know how long he had been kneeling. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew and he seemed to wake up.
He turned his head stiffly, and there was no one around.
"Oh my God, why did our Zhenguo Mansion suffer such a disaster?"
Lin Pojun walked back woodenly, and when it got dark, he finally walked out of the hunting ground.
Only the carriages and horses of the Zhenguo Mansion were left outside.
After much difficulty, I finally returned to Zhenguo Mansion.
This was the first time in all these years that Lin Pojun stood in front of the gate of Zhenguo Mansion in a daze, not wanting to go back.
"father--"
At this moment, a clear cry was heard from the front, and Lin Su ran up quickly.
He raised his resolute face, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extremely handsome:
"Dad, you're back! The news about the hunting grounds has spread throughout the mansion. Dad, you're a hero in my heart. This little difficulty won't faze you. Even if there were a million enemy troops, I wouldn't be afraid. The people in the mansion are talking nonsense. They're just waiting for you to come back."
For some reason, Lin Pojun suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this.
The dejected look on his face disappeared completely.
"That's right! It's just an imperial decree! Is it more terrifying than a million enemy troops?"
"As long as I don't fall, I will make meritorious contributions in the future. Your Majesty can change his mind at any time!"
Lin Pojun reached out and stroked Lin Su's head. Although Lin Su was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he already exuded a heroic aura.
"That's right. Your eldest brother has been exiled to the Great Wall of Fortune. From now on, you must set a good example for your brothers and sisters."
"Don't worry, Dad. We are very harmonious." Lin Su smiled and raised his chest proudly.
Lin Pojun nodded with satisfaction, waved his sleeves, and strode into the Zhenguo Mansion.
As soon as I got in, I saw two people fighting in the yard. Many things around were broken into pieces. The servants were all begging them to stop fighting.
But they didn't listen at all and became more and more desperate.
The older one among them was called Lin Hai. He attacked while cursing:
"Damn Lin Yi, you're such a rebel! You dare to attack me? You don't want to live anymore!"
"Bah! I've tolerated you for a long time. Let me tell you, the imperial edict has come down, and I will also have military power in the future. The moment I get the military power, I will be the first one to cut you into pieces." Lin Yi had disheveled hair and blood at the corners of her mouth, but she had no intention of giving in.
On weekdays, Lin Yi was always bullied by Lin Hai because Lin Hai was older than her and was a man.
From now on, some of the Zhenguo Mansion's businesses and military power would be distributed to male heirs. As daughters, they, like Lin Che, were destined to receive nothing.
However, after receiving the imperial edict today, Lin Yi could no longer bear it.
He immediately started fighting with Lin Hai.
"presumptuous--"
Seeing this, Lin Pojun shouted angrily, directly shaking the two people on the roof down to the ground.
"father!"
“Dad!!” Lin Hai and Lin Yi were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, not daring to say anything more.
"You two worthless bastards. Now you're fighting among yourselves. You're not even a fraction as good as your eldest brother... not even a ten-thousandth as good as Lin Su. Get out of here and receive fifty military canes. You won't be allowed to eat for three days!"
