"You can't have both, so I'll sacrifice my life for justice!!"
Upon hearing this, the old officials of the six ministries exclaimed, "Excellent! Well said. This is what a true man should be like, daring to sacrifice his life for justice."
Many ministers also applauded, as they originally hated the Yanyun Kingdom.
At this moment, everyone was united against a common enemy.
"I understand your feelings, Lord Lin."
Jiang Li felt slightly sad and sighed, "My second brother's death in the enemy country is already a huge loss for me. I really can't bear to let you take risks again. If I let you go to the enemy country again, won't the people say that I am cold-hearted..."
"Your Majesty! Please allow me to go. Although I am weak, even ten years of drinking ice cannot cool my blood."
"Give me a three-foot-long sword, and I will attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."
"So that the enemy nation will know, so that all the people will know, that they cannot wipe out my lofty ambition as a man of great courage!!"
Lin Che shouted at the top of his lungs, then knelt down again and bowed his head.
Jiang Li's expression sank slightly, and all the ministers looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Okay, since Lord Lin is so insistent, then I agree!"
"I appoint you as the Grand Herald's Special Envoy to the Kingdom of Yanyun in three months!"
"During these three months, you need to learn the etiquette and rituals well, and marry Mo Zhaoxue of the Mo family as soon as possible!"
What?
Marry Mo Zhaoxue?
Three months?
ASAP? ?
Lin Che wished he could get a Beiyuan warhorse tonight, which could travel a thousand miles a day and allow him to escape from Tiandu City overnight.
He didn't want to be a special envoy, didn't want to stay for three months, and he certainly didn't want to marry Mo Zhaoxue.
"Lord Lin, you have made great contributions to the country. Even though you have been a hostage for ten years, your ambition remains unchanged."
"Special appointment: Lin Che is Earl of Jing'an!"
"Seven hundred households! A Xuan-level sword, a mansion, thirty thousand taels of gold, one hundred pearls, three hundred bolts of silk and satin. Maids, thirty guards, and a number of other rewards!"
"I will also grant you the Four Treasures of the Imperial Study. From now on, your memorials will reach the Emperor directly! I will personally review your memorials! I also hope that Earl Jing'an will continue to set an example for my ministers from now on!"
Hearing about these rewards.
Lin Che felt a little dizzy for a moment. He only wanted to escape, so why did he suddenly receive so many rewards?
Earl of Jing'an.
The title of Earl is the highest.
According to the rank of nobility, except for Your Majesty, the next ones are king, duke, county duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron.
Although Lin Che was a meritorious official, he did not have a title. Jumping three levels at once was already the limit.
Furthermore, a fief of 700 households means the right to levy taxes on 700 households; it is equivalent to a long-term meal ticket.
"Marquis Jing'an—why don't you thank His Majesty?"
Shen Luo, an old official from the Six Ministries standing nearby, spoke up to remind him.
"minister……"
Lin Che wanted to bargain, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw a gleam of light in the empress's bright eyes, as if warning him.
When the words came to his lips, he could only change them:
"Thank you, Your Majesty—"
Three months is just three months.
At least, from today on, he doesn't have to go back to Zhenguo Mansion.
I should be able to survive during the three months of renewal of the trial card.
At worst, I can just hide in my own Jing'an Mansion. As long as I can survive for three months and become a special envoy to Yanyun Kingdom, then I can fly as high as I want.
"Go collect your reward first, then come see me in the Imperial Study."
"As you wish!"
Lin Che accepted the order loudly. With so many rewards, he had enough money to run away!
Lin Che was happy, but Lin Pojun beside him had a sullen face and a rage that was like thunder in his chest, but he couldn't vent it.
This rebellious son actually wants to leave the Zhenguo Mansion.
What will the other ministers say about him from now on?
The son was forced to the point that he dared not return home. Is this how loyalty and filial piety are passed down from generation to generation?
Isn't this a slap in the face of the Duke of Zhenguo, or something else?
Moreover, this rebellious son had planned this long ago.
He had been silent for three months since he came back, and seemed to be bullied and cowardly, but today he actually overturned the table.
Treason! Treason!
It's a great rebellion to rebel against the Tiangang!
Lin Che didn't go to see Lin Pojun anymore and followed the young eunuch out of the Golden Palace.
Go and receive the reward.
The young eunuch followed closely and led the way, speaking in a very flattering manner:
"Congratulations, Earl Jing'an. Congratulations, Earl Jing'an. But I'd like to remind you that with this reward, Earl Jing'an will need to appear before the Emperor in the Imperial Study later. He will then need to express his gratitude for His Majesty's grace. The sooner rather than later."
"Of course. I understand that Your Majesty loves me so much. She even summoned me because she must be worried that my reward would be withheld by those below her."
Lin Che also understood immediately.
The relationships involved were extremely complex; even rewards could be withheld. But since Lin Che was about to meet His Majesty, they certainly wouldn't dare act recklessly.
"Oh, Marquis Jing'an really understands people. That's the reason. I was worrying about nothing." The young eunuch greeted with a smile.
"I still want to thank you for your reminder. By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed. My humble name is Yu Huadian, and the fact that Marquis Jing'an is so kind to me that he calls me Xiao Dianz is a great gift from heaven."
"Rain in the Field? Which three words?"
"Please look, Marquis Jing'an." The young eunuch presented the badge on his waist with both hands. There was his name on it.
"The rain turns into a tin—this tin."
Seeing that Yu Huadian was not very old but very smart, Lin Che couldn't help but reach out and pat Yu Huadian on the shoulder.
"If you change the character '钿' to '田' (field), it might have a different meaning. Haha."
Yu Huadian was patted on the shoulder and was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. He could only smile apologetically.
Not long after, Lin Che followed Yu Huadian into a large hall.
There is also a special department in the palace to manage rewards.
The officials here had obviously received the news in advance. As soon as Lin Che entered the door, someone came up to greet him and called him "Marquis Jing'an".
Various rewards were also prepared early.
The expropriation contract for seven hundred households, the reward sword, and the title deed to the mansion.
What surprised Lin Che the most was the 30,000 taels of gold.
In Dagan, you can use silver notes and also use the golden inlaid knife. After being blessed by the leaders of the hundred families, a small piece of the golden inlaid knife is worth ten thousand taels of gold.
"This little golden knife is so valuable?"
Lin Che picked up a small golden knife, the size of three fingers, weighing at least ten kilograms, with a special glow flowing around it.
It shouldn't be difficult to take this thing away directly.
【bite--】
At this moment, Lin Che actually heard the system's prompt sound.
He was slightly stunned, then quickly closed his eyes and summoned the system.
[Skill Points Gained: 1]
[Remaining points: 1]
What's going on?
How do I get skill points?
Could it be? ?
Lin Che looked at the golden knife in her hand.
He immediately grabbed the two golden knives next to him.
[Skill Points Gained: 2]
[Remaining points: 3] No one recognized him as a hostage for ten years, but the assassination of the empress is known to the world.
