Chapter 489 Coping
What happened in Chengtian Hall was quickly learned by Jin Yiwei, and they were rushed to Hangu Pass. In less than a day, the news reached Lin Ze's ears.
After learning that Lin Dong would serve as the supervisor of his army, Lin Ze's mood did not fluctuate much.
For the predecessor, Lin Dong was the biological father, and blood was thicker than water, so he was an unavoidable obstacle.
But to Lin Ze now, he is more like a stranger. He only needs to worry about some so-called ethical ethics and worldly reputation.
Lin Ze thought about it carefully and found that except for patricide, there was no stigma that he couldn't bear.
As for the unabashed little calculations of the ministers in the court, Lin Ze had already anticipated it, and he was already prepared and waiting for them to come.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Dong and the eunuch who delivered the order arrived at Hangu Pass after a long journey.
After receiving the notification from the soldiers, Lin Ze just ordered someone to open the city gate to let them in. Not only did he not go to greet them, he didn't even send anyone to greet them.
Lin Dong and the eunuch who passed the order walked into Hangu Pass and found that there was nothing in front of them, not even a single person, and their expressions changed.
"Bastard" Lin Dong couldn't help but cursed angrily, and was about to get angry on the spot.
But he was grabbed by the eunuch who passed the order: "Master Supervisor, don't be angry. You and I are here to be evil people. It is normal for Lin Shaofu to be angry. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, you and I should not get angry over these trivial matters."
Already."
The eunuch who delivered the order was also extremely angry. As a servant of Emperor Qin, he had never suffered such humiliation. If Hu Hai hadn't told him before leaving, he must not offend Lin Ze. He would have been even more excited than Lin Dong.
In desperation, the two of them expressed their intentions and interests to the gatekeeper, and after receiving the guidance of the soldiers, they arrived at Lin Ze's mansion.
Feeling slighted, Lin Dong angrily walked through the gate of the Marshal's Mansion. However, he saw Lin Ze standing in the yard practicing martial arts as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but walk up to him and scolded:
"Lin Ze, as a dignified counterinsurgency commander and an important minister of the empire, don't you even understand the most basic etiquette?"
Lin Ze turned around, ignored him, smiled at the eunuch who delivered the order and said, "This father-in-law is here to deliver the order, right?"
The eunuch who delivered the order smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, and I am here to deliver the order to you on your Majesty's order."
Lin Ze had a serious look on his face, bowed and said in salute: "Please, father-in-law, declare the decree."
The eunuch who delivered the order quickly supported Lin Ze and said, "Your Majesty has an order. Master Shaofu can just stand and receive the order. No need to be more polite."
Lin Ze didn't show any pretense, stood up straight and accepted the imperial edict.
As Lin Ze expected, the imperial edict mainly talked about a few things that happened in Chengtian Hall in the past two days.
In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, Lin Dong supervised the army and divided the troops to put down the rebellion.
After Lin Ze received the imperial edict, the eunuch who delivered the edict said with a smile: "So that the young master will know that your majesty wants me to tell you that there are some things that are beyond his control. Please be considerate."
Lin Ze chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is serious. Your Majesty is the king, and your official is a minister. Of course, a minister must obey the king's orders. How can you dare to complain?"
The smile on the face of the eunuch who delivered the order became even stronger: "Easy to say, I will definitely convey this to Your Majesty."
Lin Ze shook his head and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I would like to ask my father-in-law to tell your majesty that this world belongs to him after all, not his ministers. Your ministers may not care, but your majesty has no choice but to care."
Lin Ze's words seemed simple, but they contained a threat: If you keep doing this, don't blame me if the world is ruined.
Chen Ping was qualified to participate in every court meeting. With his secret message, Lin Ze knew exactly what happened in the court.
Does he, Hu Haiguang, think he is stupid for trying to shift the responsibility to others?
As the saying goes, good people will be bullied, and good horses will be ridiculed. If you really show that you are willing to be bullied, some people may only make it worse.
It is better to show great opinions and get a lot of compensation.
Lin Ze has seen many such examples in later generations. People in the world praise honest people on the surface and say that they are good people. It is not easy. But in the end, aren't all honest people who suffer the consequences?
The face of the eunuch who delivered the order changed slightly, he smiled coyly, and did not dare to answer. He just turned around and paid attention to other things: "Since the young master has accepted the order, I will leave first."
"By the way, this is Lin Dong, the incoming Lord Supervisor of the Army. My Lord Shaofu had a good chat with him, and I have gone back to Chang'an to resume my duties."
After the eunuch who delivered the order finished speaking, he left in a hurry, not daring to stay for even a moment. He was afraid that he would hear any treacherous words again, which would plunge him into a place of eternal disaster.
Based on Hu Hai's previous explanation of his attitude, he could clearly see how much Hu Hai valued the young master, so it was very possible that some of the words were clearly spoken by the young master, but His Majesty's anger was directed at him.
After the eunuch who passed the order left, Lin Ze walked straight to the backyard without looking back.
At this time, Lin Dong couldn't bear it any longer and scolded: "Sir, stop here. Can't you see me standing in front of you?"
Lin Ze turned around and suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, there is another person here, the new Supervisor, right? Come, take this Supervisor down to rest, and arrange a few more people to take care of him."
Lin Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't do this to me, you traitor. Now that you are so successful, you don't even recognize your own father?"
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile and said: "What you said, I didn't recognize you before."
Then the smile disappeared, and he said with a cold face: "Besides, don't talk about being a traitor in front of me. You and I have severed our relationship long ago. Lin Ze is Lin Ze, not anyone's traitor."
Lin Dong was furious: "How dare you. In the past, the Imperial Master protected you, but today I see who can protect you." After saying that, his true energy flowed, and he stretched out his hand to grab Lin Ze.
Lin Ze smiled softly and said: "It's just a sixth-grade mid-level, is this your confidence?"
The whole person did not dodge or dodge, his true energy escaped, forming a protective shield, and he was struck by Lin Dong's blow.
Lin Dong hit Lin Ze's protective shield with one blow. Not only did he not break the protective shield, he was shocked and took three steps back. He felt Lin Ze's aura and said with an extremely ugly face:
"Sixth-grade peak, good, very good. I didn't expect that I, Lin Dong, was so shrewd that I could see that you, a bastard, had such a terrifying talent in martial arts."
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have persuaded your eldest mother to take you to Chang'an. I didn't expect that I would actually raise a white-eyed wolf."
Lin Ze sneered and said, "White-eyed wolf? It's whatever you say."
The movement of the two men quickly alerted a group of people, and Dongfang He hurried over with two elders.
Seeing Dongfang He coming over, Lin Ze immediately said: "Uncle, this is the new supervisor Lin Dong. I'm afraid I will have to trouble my uncle to protect him personally in the future to prevent him from being hurt by the rebels."
Lin Dong was shocked and said angrily: "Lin Ze, you traitor wants to put me under house arrest?"
Lin Ze sighed slightly and said, "Don't say it so harshly. I clearly meant protection, but if you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."
Lin Dong looked unyielding and said, "What if I don't obey? Do you still dare to kill your father?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "I can't bear the crime of patricide. If someone has to make trouble, I don't mind having his pubic area destroyed to make him calm down."
At the same time, he stepped forward, sealed Lin Dong's acupuncture points, and gestured slightly to Dongfang He: "Excuse me, uncle."
