Zhao Xin snorted coldly at this point, then said coldly: "Mu Zhi, draft the decree!"
“Here!”
At Zhao Xin's command, the eunuch next to him immediately placed the pen and ink in front of Liu Muzhi. Liu Muzhi lifted his robe and sat down, licked the ink, then looked up at Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "Tell him that he is the Prime Minister of the Great Qin, and has been blessed by the country for generations. Now that the seven princes are plotting rebellion, the country is in dire straits. If he wants to retreat at this time, I will not allow it.
Tell him to come back and work for me!"
After he said this, Liu Muzhi certainly would not change it completely. The words written in the imperial edict were naturally more refined and implicit.
But even so, the words in this imperial edict are very harsh.
After the emperor had looked at it and stamped it, the eunuch left the palace holding the imperial edict.
Lin Yuchen was watching all this, pursing his lips tightly, but his emotions were like a turbulent sea, fluctuating.
The eyes are also a little red.
At this time, when he looked at the emperor again, there was no longer any resistance or estrangement as before.
Especially when he heard the emperor say, "The blood feud of the 1,376 members of the Lin family." He could hardly hold back his tears.
Seeing that the imperial edict had been sent out.
Then the emperor ordered again: "Also, have someone tell Cui Luan not to come see me anymore. I don't want to listen to his nonsense, I just want to see what he does!"
This is an oral order, so there is naturally no need for a draft decree.
Afterwards, Zhao Xin issued several orders in succession, some of which were explicit instructions and some were oral instructions.
With these imperial edicts, the chess pieces in Zhao Xin's mind, which he had practiced countless times, began to move quickly.
Without even leaving the palace, he seemed to be able to see the entire Qinjing in turmoil because of his edicts.
There's an inexplicable sense of well-being in my heart, as if everything is under control, which is a bit intoxicating.
This is the smell of power.
No, this is not real power yet.
Only unconstrained power is the truly supreme power!
What is it now?
He took a deep breath and suppressed the restless feeling in his heart.
When he turned around again, he saw Lin Yuchen kneeling behind him.
Seeing that he had come to his senses, he said solemnly: "I am Lin Yuchen, the son of Lin Hongyue, the former Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
Seeing this, Zhao Xin restrained his expression and accepted his bow with a serious face.
He knew in his heart that this bow meant that the other party had officially pledged allegiance to him.
He was also very happy, not just because the other party was Cui Yuyan's biological brother.
At the same time, he also understood that the other party also represented the Jizhou Lin family.
Although the Lin family has declined, Lin Hongyue's reputation has not been completely exhausted.
Especially his influence among the aristocratic families and scholars should never be underestimated.
And these are exactly what he needs now.
After getting rid of Cui Cen, he naturally had to further win over the hearts of the people and integrate the world's aristocratic families.
And this is much more difficult to deal with than Cui Cen.
To put it bluntly, Cui Cen is just a relative by marriage.
Among the nine clans and thirteen surnames in the world, there is no Cui family.
To some extent, it can even be said that those people are the real masters of this world.
It is roughly equivalent to the aristocratic families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the previous life.
With all this, the Lin family can be considered to be open for business.
"My dear, please stand up!"
After Lin Yuchen finished the ceremony, he reached out and helped him up.
This is not hypocrisy, it is etiquette and respect.
Then he patted his shoulder and said, "Lin Qing, you must have come all this way and worked hard, I should have someone arrange for you to rest first.
But I know that you have been impatient since you heard about Yu Yan. Even if I arrange for you to rest now, I am afraid you will not be able to sleep well."
"His Majesty……"
When Lin Yuchen heard what Zhao Xin said, he immediately realized something and his expression changed. He was excited, but couldn't help feeling nervous.
Cao Xiong, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to say, "Lin Yuchen, Your Majesty is so considerate. This is a great grace!"
Lin Yuchen finally reacted and was about to express his gratitude, but Zhao Xin stopped him.
He turned around and glared at Cao Xiong, "Old dog, you have your business everywhere. Who asked you to be nosy?"
Then he patted Lin Yuchen's shoulder again and said, "The Lin family has been loyal for generations, and Prime Minister Lin is a pillar of the country. This is what our royal family owes you. Although compensation is no longer possible, I hope you will not resent the late emperor for his stupidity."
Lin Yuchen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "I dare not."
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, can you wait until we get rid of the thief Cui? I really don't have the face to see her now..."
"hehe."
Zhao Xin chuckled, knowing that he must be worried about losing something, but he didn't let him hesitate. He patted his shoulder and said, "It's too late. I've already sent someone to invite them..."
"Uh, this..."
As he was speaking, a palace maid suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Cui has been summoned to see you!"
Zhao Xin waved his hand and said, "Announce!"
Then he asked Lin Yuchen, who had become uneasy, "So, after your sister comes, you should have some way to identify her, right?"
"have."
Lin Yuchen nodded subconsciously, but stopped talking halfway, looking a little embarrassed.
When Zhao Xin saw this, he immediately knew that it was probably some private matter, so he just laughed and didn't ask any more questions.
He smiled and said, "That's good. In that case, I won't bother you two siblings anymore."
After saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Please proceed to the Qinzheng Palace. The Southern Grand Commandant is leaving for battle today. He should be here to bid farewell to Your Majesty soon, right?"
Cao Xiong, standing nearby, quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the old Grand Marshal, the two generals, and the eldest daughter of the General Zhendong are already waiting in the Qinzheng Hall."
Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and glared at him fiercely. "You old dog, if that's the case, why didn't you report it earlier?"
"Your Majesty is very busy, and I dare not disturb you."
Cao Xiong muttered in grievance.
"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you later."
Zhao Xin glared at him again, then called out to Liu Muzhi, "Muzhi, let's go! We can't keep the hero who's about to fight for our country waiting for too long!"
Then he patted Lin Yuchen and said, "Don't be nervous, she's your sister, not a tigress."
After saying that, he laughed and strode away.
Lin Yuchen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. When he saw that everyone had left and there were only a few palace maids and eunuchs around him, he couldn't help but feel more nervous.
He didn't know whether his sister would recognize him when he saw her later, whether she would blame him for taking so long to show up, or whether she would blame him for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a brother for all these years.
Just as I was feeling nervous, I saw a eunuch leading a young girl towards me in the distance.
Seeing the girl's eyebrows slightly frowned from afar, as if she was worried about something, his heart couldn't help but shrink.
With just one glance, he was sure that what Yu Huatian, His Majesty and others said was true and they did not deceive him.
His sister is really still alive.
And right now, it’s right in front of us!
